Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 208 Group Holding
"Holy crap, what does this mean? Tianjin Mixed Optimized Selection has a purchase limit? And each person can only apply for a maximum of 20,000?"

"Are you sure this isn't a joke? Tianjin Capital has gotten arrogant? How big is it? And they're already implementing purchase restrictions? Do they really think they're a multi-billion dollar fund?"

"Holy crap, it really is... But it has nothing to do with me. I only have 100,000 yuan in total, and I've already bought it all."

The fact that Tianjin Capital had restricted its share purchases was quickly discovered.

Those who have already invested are happy to see this scenario, because the less capital they invest, the less profit they will receive.

However, those who haven't gone in yet, or those who want to go back in after redeeming their money today, obviously can't accept this situation.

Many people pay attention to Tianjin Capital, but very few actually decide to buy in, even though Tianjin Capital's net asset value is excellent every day, with no drawdown for eleven consecutive trading days, and even the net asset value has doubled.

Even if they never buy Tianjin Mixed Premium in their lifetime, it doesn't stop them from criticizing the purchase restrictions.

Because this seriously undermines their ideal interests.

Their ideal benefit is that they can get on board at any time and make money whenever they want.

And now? Tianjin Capital is preventing them from getting on board.

Therefore, the internet was filled with criticism as soon as the news of Tianjin Capital's purchase restrictions was exposed.

After getting off work, Yan Li kept pondering why Lin Lang wanted to impose purchase restrictions.

She felt that if she could understand 'wave studies', it would definitely benefit her in the future.

Because when we reviewed Lin Lang's previous actions, we found that some seemingly insignificant things ultimately played a crucial role.

At first, I thought that disclosing my holdings online would put Tianjin Capital in a very passive position. But I never expected that Lin Lang would be able to use this to manipulate market sentiment on multiple occasions.

Playing with your cards upfront, while you might not be able to say you've won yet, at least you haven't been completely wiped out, and you're gradually gaining the upper hand.

Lin Lang showed her that revealing your hand isn't necessarily a disadvantage; Lin Lang was constantly maneuvering to turn your hand into an advantage.

The disadvantage of playing cards openly is simply that it lets others know what chips they have.

However... once others know what they have to offer, it makes it easier for others to follow suit.

Many people don't want to buy funds because they find it troublesome.

In particular, most stock investors naturally have a resistance to funds, feeling that it's better to lose money themselves than to let funds lose money.

However, they did not know what Tianjin Capital had bought.

Now they know that Lin Lang used an open-ended approach, giving many stock investors a clear target.

The more people who know about Tianjin Capital's holdings, the greater the buying power will be.

The market has been building sentiment since last week, so even if it crashes today, as long as there is a slight rebound, countless funds will rush in to buy.

Lin Lang wasn't playing on the board...

Of course, Lin Lang is also very skilled at trading within the market, but he is even more skilled at managing market sentiment outside the market.

Without a doubt, the purchase restriction is another legal and compliant underhanded tactic employed by Lin Lang.

After analyzing the situation, Yan Li came to the conclusion that... Lin Lang had discovered that too many people were redeeming their shares and wanted to use the purchase limit to tell everyone that the shares of Tianjin Hybrid Selection were high-quality assets, and that if they redeemed them now, they would not have the opportunity to buy them in the future.

In this way, those who want to redeem their shares will hesitate and consider the matter carefully, and will not be easily swayed by market sentiment.

Otherwise, even a slight stir online could trigger billions in redemptions, which would put even more pressure on Tianjin Capital out of thin air.

Another possibility is that it's a form of scarcity marketing.

The number of subscribers to the Tianjin Mixed Selection program has now exceeded 170,000, but the polarization among subscribers is very serious.

Some subscriptions reached hundreds of millions of yuan, while others were only for 5,000 yuan or 10,000 yuan.

Overall, more than 130,000 people subscribed for less than 50,000 yuan.

In terms of quantity, most of them are small-amount subscriptions.

Lin Lang's demand to implement purchase restrictions will not set a threshold for those who intend to apply. Instead, it will create the illusion of resource scarcity, prompting many who are not strongly inclined to apply to make a decision.

After all... now that there's a purchase limit of 20,000, will they close the market after a while?

If you don't buy it now, you won't be able to buy it anymore...

This would exclude some large-scale subscriptions, while the number of small-scale subscriptions would surge.

In terms of overall subscription funds, the impact is not particularly significant.

Serving more users is more important to mutual funds than their size.

With enough users, funds can be obtained from the market again at any time once the purchase restrictions are lifted.

Introducing purchase restrictions at the height of Tianjin Capital's popularity was tantamount to further fueling its hype and attracting even more people to embrace Tianjin Capital. These users are the future of Tianjin Capital.

After all, if we wait until the market collapses before imposing purchase restrictions, it will be too late.

Lin Lang has already begun working on the future...

Amazing! Absolutely amazing!
……

Lin Lang received a call from Qin Dong while he was in the hotel.

"Mr. Lin, am I disturbing you?"

"No problem, no problem. Mr. Qin, is there something you need?"

"Is this so, Mr. Lin acquainted with Huang Yusheng?"

"I don't know him, but I've heard of him. He even called me the day before yesterday..."

After Lin Lang finished speaking, Qin Dong on the other end of the phone was clearly a little uneasy and said, "President Lin, I know you've always wanted Tianshui Duck Industry. The chips that Huang Yusheng and the others have aren't actually worth much. If you want them, President Lin, I can give them to you anytime."

"Hmm? Send it?"

Lin Lang remembered very clearly that Qin Dong not only wanted to sell it for 200 million, but also demanded that He Qiang not seek revenge later.

"Yes, send it! As long as He Qiang doesn't bring up the past."

"I can't agree to this either. I'll talk to President He about it in a while."

“Okay, if Mr. Lin wants the chips in Huang Yusheng’s hands, I can help you. I guarantee it will be more cost-effective than buying them directly from them.”

"Ah."

Lin Lang had no interest in having a deep relationship with Qin Dong. Even if they had some interaction in the media field, it was Yun Yiyi who dealt with him, and it had nothing to do with him.

Qin Dong is a ruthless, heartless, and unscrupulous person.

When he did bad things, he was worried that Qin Haiyang would cause him trouble. He was extremely harsh on his son Qin Haiyang, which shaped Qin Haiyang's outrageous personality.

He wasn't in a hurry to take over Tianshui Duck Industry, after all, the shareholders there were just too difficult to deal with.

If everything had gone smoothly for He Qiang at first, they would have succeeded.

The result was that the guys inside were insatiable.

He Qiang has now spent more than 200 million yuan in cash, and previously lost nearly 100 million yuan. Even though he made some money elsewhere, he is still trapped with more than 200 million yuan in funds. The price he has paid is already very high.

If they come to cause trouble, then I'll definitely have to make up for it elsewhere.

If Huang Yusheng had agreed when he called the day before yesterday, there would still have been room for negotiation. But then they disappeared.

It just so happened that Tianjin Capital ran into problems, so they must have thought that Tianjin Capital was going to collapse, and they hesitated.

Honestly, is asking for 80 million really that low?
This is already a very reasonable price. Tianshui duck industry is not worth that much money at all. It's just a shell, worth about two or three hundred million.

15% of the chips, 80 million, which I calculated based on a valuation of nearly 600 million.

Huang Yusheng called me proactively simply because he knew about my share in Tianjin Capital. His subsequent silence also indicated he felt Tianjin Capital was collapsing and they wouldn't get any more profits…

Essentially, he's the same kind of person as Qin Dong.

To put it bluntly, this kind of person is not someone you can afford to play games with.

Unlike He Qiang, who initially only asked me for some information before giving me a gift.

After receiving no benefit but merely seeing a glimmer of hope, they then sent even more valuable gifts.

Although I paid for everything, at least it proves one thing: He Qiang is someone who can afford to play games.

He knew that to gain something, you had to give something first.

Furthermore, throughout our interactions, He Qiang has always been a man of firm principles and his trust in himself has never wavered. This is the kind of person who is suitable to be a friend.

On the other hand, Tianshui Duck Industry has not yet fulfilled its obligations regarding the follow-up revenue from Qin Dong's live-streaming sales.

Although the duck industry in Tianshui is inherently difficult, it is essentially the most authentic aspect of Qin Dong's ruthless, heartless, and unscrupulous character.

Huang Yusheng is no different from him.

Only one hour had passed since Qin Dong hung up the phone.

Huang Yusheng called again.

The other party offered to sell him shares of Tianshui Duck Industry for 80 million yuan, but wanted a 500 million yuan share of Tianjin Mixed Optimized Selection.

He spoke very tactfully, first talking for a while about his admiration for Lin Lang and his desire to make friends, saying that he was willing to lose some money for it.

Finally, the conversation turned to the fact that Tianjin Capital must be under a lot of financial pressure, and that they were willing to invest 500 million yuan...

“Mr. Huang, I can’t make the decision on this matter. Tianjin Capital is managed by Mr. Yan, and I’m just a handyman… Although I really want shares in Tianshui Duck Industry… How about this, I’ll go talk to Mr. Yan, and if Mr. Yan is willing, I’ll contact you as soon as possible.”

Hanged up...

Then, Lin Lang started browsing the internet to see what netizens were saying about Tianjin Capital's purchase restrictions.

It wasn't until Shen An'an sent an angry emoji that he was pulled back from his world of gossip.

He opened WeChat and immediately replied, "What's wrong?"

Shen An'an: "Didn't you notice that I've been gone for a long time?"

"No, it feels like we last chatted just yesterday."

“We haven’t spoken for six days already… When other people miss their friends, it feels like an eternity, and a day apart feels like three autumns, but for you, it feels like an eternity…”

Shen An'an has been very upset lately. She heard about the Tianjin Capital incident and thought she had caused trouble for Lin Lang.

Then, she was too embarrassed to talk to Lin Lang.

As a result... Lin Lang never talked to her.

Moreover, this guy claims he's making videos for influencers, but in reality, he's helping Yan Li at Tianjin Capital!

They've all become major shareholders!
Lin Lang: "I truly am living through years like days..."

"Oh, you admit it."

"Yes, I admit it! I know I can't go back anytime soon, I won't be able to eat Bingjie's cooking, and I won't be able to see you, so I'm brainwashing myself and treating the time I can't see you as one day, so that I can see you tomorrow."

"Don't be like that. I didn't come here to ask you for a reason. It's just that we haven't chatted in a long time, and I know you're also very tired. And... is what you said true?"

"Absolutely genuine! I don't even dare to chat with you guys normally, for fear of puncturing the brain that I've worked so hard to deceive."

"Then... does that mean I can't chat with you anymore?"

"Sure, you can chat with me anytime. Whenever you chat with me, my brain can reset its CD. You know, it's really uncomfortable to keep holding it in. I should thank you for helping me every time."

"Then... how about we meet in person and reset it?"

Lin Lang: "..."

……

Shen An'an has come to Shanghai.

Of course, she wasn't alone; Wang Wei, Fu Xueqing, and the others were also there. Apart from Yang Jingyuan, who didn't come along, the other five were playing together the whole time.

Lin Lang glanced at the time, then quickly found a restaurant and made a reservation.

After that, I drove there.

Shen An'an and her six companions arrived earlier than him; by the time Lin Lang arrived, they had already gone to the private room.

Pushing open the door to the private room, the first thing you see is Shen An'an.

Because of the cold weather, Shen An'an had already put on a coat, which covered up a lot of her figure, but her core was still very prominent.

"Lin Lang is here."

"You should call me General Manager Lin now!"

Lin Lang walked over to greet them, "Everyone, you're too kind. Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have arranged a hotel in advance."

Wang Wei said with a smile, "President Lin, my home is right here. Although it's not big, it can easily accommodate six rooms. It's just a bit out of the way. Everyone can stay at my place tonight. I've already arranged everything."

Lin Lang: "..."

This Wang Wei has ill intentions.

His family is in Shanghai, and by bringing all these people here, it's clear he wants to control these resources.

Wang Wei does have money, but if he really wants to buy a house in the heart of Shanghai that can easily accommodate six people, the cost would still be very high for him.

Therefore, his residence is relatively remote.

This also means that although he has a net worth of several hundred million or even over a billion, he has never been able to integrate into the mainstream circles in Shanghai.

He didn't have the opportunity before; even if the scale reached 2 billion or 3 billion, it still required a certain amount of luck.

But things are different now, because of Shen An'an. He is surrounded by the former CEO of Golden Collar Capital, the daughter of a real estate tycoon, the heir of an industrial group, and even has some connection with Tianjin Capital.

This time, the group of people came to Shanghai, and it's possible that Wang Wei deliberately led them there.

In any part of the world, once a certain level is reached, circles will form. And for these circles to stick together, they can maximize their interests and effectively prevent the loss of their core interests.

Lin Lang sat down and said, "So Brother Wang is a local. I'm not familiar with this area, so I'll have to trouble you with the food today."

"No problem! I've been to this store before, I know what their signboard looks like..."
