Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 280 The advantage is mine!

Guan Sheng called Tianjin Capital, and the call was quickly transferred to Yan Li.

He asked, "President Yan, Tianjin Hybrid Selection holds 5.01% of CATL's total shares. That should just be a mistake, right? The money in public funds belongs to the fund investors. To avoid any problems, you should reduce your position as soon as possible. A small amount of two-way trading is understandable. Don't make the same mistake again. You need to improve the professionalism of your employees."

Yan Li understood that Guan Sheng was trying to find a way to make up for Tianjin Capital's losses.

Now that we've reduced our positions, things are much better.

but……

"Boss, we've already posted an announcement on our official website..."

Guan Sheng remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he said, "Since it was your intention and not a mistake, that's good. We will issue an announcement immediately based on the report you provided."

After saying that, Guan Sheng hung up the phone.

Yan Li could sense Guan Sheng's speechlessness.

He was completely silenced by Lin Lang's actions.

Inside the trading room, Lin Lang saw that the selling pressure on CATL's side had disappeared and that the buy orders had been stacked up, so he immediately issued an order to cancel the order.

The original budget of 800 million has been reduced to just over 600 million, so the funds have been withdrawn to give those in line a chance to enter.

After withdrawing the funds, he stopped taking action because he didn't have much money left and needed to save it for a critical moment.

……

"Holy crap, holy crap! What the hell is going on? Why isn't it falling anymore?"

"Why is it starting to rise?"

"And what about CATL? Didn't they suddenly withdraw a huge order worth hundreds of millions? Shouldn't they have taken advantage of that and broken through it in one fell swoop? Why isn't the trading volume going up? They can't even break through the buy orders worth more than 100 million?"

"Announcement? What kind of bullshit announcement is this?"

"Holy crap, Tianjin Capital has made a takeover bid?! Damn it..."

Chu Tianhe was completely stunned when he saw the announcement.

Tianjin Capital has made a takeover bid? They've invested at least 6 billion yuan in CATL, and then... they made a takeover bid in the secondary market?
Who would dare to raise their hand to such a large company?

Raising a sign means you're being trapped.

After all, CATL's current market value is 120 billion yuan, and there is still a lot of room for it to fall.

Given that he doesn't have many shares in circulation, and the takeover bid directly locks up 5% of the total share capital, it means that CATL's future share price may be similar to that of stocks with a market value of one or two hundred billion.

It's too easy for prices to rise.

Of course, it is also prone to decline.

Last month, when faced with those small-cap stocks, countless people speculated that Tianjin Capital was about to make a takeover bid.

Ultimately, they failed to raise their placards.

I didn't expect them to raise their placards this time.

Chu Tianhe could imagine the stock price movement of CATL after the shareholding increase.

We'll likely see at least several more limit-up days ahead, and the stock price might even double...

Then it falls, continuing to fall until it can't fall any further.

In any case, it's impossible for Tianjin Capital to make money from it.

However, in this case... Tianjin Capital's net asset value can be stabilized in the short term.

Unless there is a large-scale redemption...

The situation became extremely chaotic.

He checked online and found that the news about Tianjin Hybrid Selection's takeover bid for CATL was already spreading like wildfire in the industry.

After all, raising a sign means there's a big reward to be made, so rushing in at this point is bound to be profitable.

However, CATL had already hit its daily limit, and there were hundreds of millions of yuan in funds waiting in line. After the announcement, the total transaction volume was less than one million yuan, which was not enough to get a chance to participate.

Then, some people set their sights on some of Tianjin Capital's other holdings.

While the rumors circulating online are unreliable, there are at least nine other stocks whose price movements are completely consistent with CATL's, except that they failed to reach the daily limit.

Those nine stocks were on the rumored list of holdings by Tianjin Capital, so this double verification is pretty much confirmed.

Many people also recalled the events surrounding small-cap stocks last month, where many who followed Tianjin Capital made substantial profits.

It's just that some people on the mountaintop didn't escape and got trapped.

However, the profit-making effect cannot be ignored; those who are lucky enough to enter the market have almost doubled their money.

This time, the market rally has just begun, and those blue-chip stocks aren't at high levels yet. Even if you get caught in a downturn, you won't lose much money. But what if you make a profit...?

The expectation of making money far exceeded the expectation of losing money, and the result was predictable.

As a result, a large number of retail investors entered the market and began to acquire shares.

However... it's ultimately difficult for retail investors to pool their resources; they can only slowly drive up the price through constant alternation.

Chu Tianhe found Liang Jiwei and said, "Tianjin Capital is finished. They've taken over CATL. You're destined to lose our bet!"

How did it fail?

"Because Tianjin Capital is already trapped with over 6 billion yuan, which it can't get out within six months, and it can't do anything else. When Tianjin Capital can finally operate, the stock price will definitely plummet to a level that even its own mother wouldn't recognize!"

"That's only a few billion. Tianjin Capital has tens of billions. How much influence can they have?"

"This is just the tip of the iceberg. Tianjin Capital has gone crazy for net asset value. If they want to stabilize net asset value, they may have to make a takeover bid for other stocks. If they make a takeover bid for three or five similar stocks, they will be trapped with most of their funds."

Liang Jiwei said with a smile, "From what you're saying, the market surged today? If it surged, why would I be worried?"

"It's gone up now, but what about later? It's just a six-month-long false boom, and after that, it'll all be a mess. You're bound to lose."

Liang Jiwei looked at Chu Tianhe with a strange expression. "No, are you misunderstanding something? Just because Tianjin Hybrid Selection lost doesn't mean I'll definitely lose. I can just sell it when Tianjin Hybrid Selection goes up a bit more, right? Anyway, I only signed a loan agreement with you, stipulating that I would liquidate my position if the net asset value dropped by 15%, but it didn't stipulate that I couldn't liquidate if I made a profit... I'll just liquidate my position and pay you back. I'm just a fund investor with only a few million, which I can withdraw at any time. Whether Tianjin Hybrid Selection makes a profit or a loss, what does it have to do with me?"

Chu Tianhe: "..."

"Haha, just kidding. I'll keep holding it. I'm giving you a chance to win. I'm getting back to work."

Chu Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

What a hothead!
He continued to monitor the market, and as the news spread wider, market sentiment grew increasingly bullish. Stocks heavily invested in by Tianjin Capital all saw a rebound.

However, only a few stocks ultimately hit their daily limit, with the vast majority rising by only seven or eight points, indicating that the market is still adopting a wait-and-see approach.

However, the net asset value of Tianjin Mixed Selection has definitely already risen.

The list circulating online shows that most stocks have seen some degree of price increase. Even those stocks in Tianjin Mixed Selection that did not see a significant price increase today have gradually returned to the surface and have not experienced the sharp drop of four or five points that occurred at the opening.

These are all blue-chip stocks. When there is no large capital to drive the price down, and after many consecutive days of decline, those who should buy more are buying more, and those who should enter the market are entering. There is never a shortage of funds.

……

The market has closed.

Lin Lang breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the trading room.

Overall, it's pretty good, about what I expected.

Tianjin Capital still has a following.

When they arrived at the office, Yan Li poured him a cup of tea and said, "Take a rest for a while. You've worked hard today."

Lin Lang chuckled as he picked up the teacup and said, "You're not like yourself today. You didn't say a word after seeing the sign."

Yan Li: "He said one thing, asking if you've reached 5%."

"That doesn't count..."

Yan Li: "You are the core of the operation, and nothing I say will make a difference. Moreover, I have been thinking about this for more than an hour. You are doing this to stabilize the net asset value of Tianjin Hybrid Selection. The net asset value is expected to rise by about six points today."

After all, the top ten holdings all performed well today, and among these ten stocks, Tianjin? Mixed Selection has a position of about 40 billion.

"It's true that I'm doing this for the sake of net asset value, but it's not just about net asset value. I still have over a billion yuan in my account, and I'm going to make a takeover bid for a listed company next Monday."

"Huh? We have to hold up a sign?"

"Yes, Tianjin Hybrid Selection should have released its holdings this week, right?"

"Hmm, which day should we announce it?"

Mutual funds are required to disclose their holdings every quarter, but they don't need to disclose such detailed information; they only need to disclose their top ten holdings.

Aside from the fact that the stocks held are certain to exist, the holding period is not fixed.

For example, Tianjin Hybrid Selection can easily provide the holding data from a specific day twenty days ago.

"Publish today's holdings."

Yan thought for a moment and then asked, "What if we have too much money tied up? It will most likely trigger a bank run."

After all, the more shares a fund raises, the less available funds there are. For fund investors, it's definitely best to withdraw their money first.

When the time comes, there will be a run on the bank...

"I actually hope they start to criticize us. The more they criticize us, the better it is for us. After all, seeing us make money is more painful for those who are bearish on us than for them. Also, people teaching people may not be effective, but experience teaching people can be useful for a lifetime."

"Your confidence... I really don't know where it comes from. Just like before, no matter how I review the situation, I can't find a way to break the deadlock, but you've already thought of two solutions. Would you like to talk to me about them this time?"

"As of now, I don't know how to solve it, but I know that there's always a way out! Right now, the opponents just haven't dumped their shares on us yet, but we still need to guide market sentiment. As long as we can get the sentiment going, this wave of market activity won't have any problems."

"What happens after the rally ends? We used shareholding to stir up sentiment, but we'll have to bear the consequences alone..."

"That's a few months from now, and nobody can predict what will happen a few months from now."

"That's true. Do you want to rest for a while this afternoon?"

"Never mind, I'll go to the hospital. I feel pretty good today, I'll just take a look at it tonight and catch up on sleep on Saturday and Sunday."

"I've also inquired about the situation at the hospital, and it seems to be going quite well..."

"I also asked the doctor, and I'll go to the hospital later to cooperate with some treatment methods."

Yang Guilan's emotions have stabilized now, but the root cause is still there.

That's Yang Xi.

The doctors were also unaware of Yang Xi's condition and had no way to help her resolve this issue. After chatting with the doctors for a while, Lin Lang decided to go over there in person.

……

Tianjin Mixed Selection's move of raising its sign caught everyone off guard.

Especially some public fund institutions in Shanghai.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly and stopped dumping shares immediately, preventing them from releasing more shares.

The Ningde stock that Tianjin Hybrid Selection acquired is a very special one. It has only been listed for a short time, and its circulating shares are only 20% of the total share capital. With such a small number of shares, there are not many public funds participating.

Even if there were, the total number of people in each group wouldn't be much.

It's almost completely drained by Tianjin Hybrid Selection now; otherwise, it wouldn't have failed to bring down the 800 million yuan of funds that were locked in Tianjin Hybrid Selection after more than ten minutes of effort.

They've run out of chips.

If it were a stock with a large position that was being targeted for a takeover bid, they would definitely welcome it to help them lock in 5% of the shares, allowing them to push the price even higher.

Now, they are hesitant.

"Anyway, we don't have much say in CATL's stock. Oh well, it's just that their shareholding increase today made us a bit cautious. Also, the market sentiment is quite high, and the shares we sold were all bought up by retail investors. This position is not suitable for distributing too many shares to retail investors."

"Yes, Tianjin Capital benefited today, but they paid a heavy price. They raised over 6 billion yuan in stakes, which greatly reduced their overall capital flexibility. We can continue to undermine them next Monday, and we must do it hard to shake out the retail investors who entered the market today."

They are not afraid of Tianjin Hybrid Selection acquiring chips because Tianjin Hybrid Selection lacks flexibility, and large funds do not have the ability to enter and exit at any time.

The situation is different for retail investors. The chips they hold are too flexible. Even when trading, they need to be thoroughly shaken out, otherwise they will encounter major resistance at any time during the upward trend.

"What if Tianjin Capital raises its stake again to protect its net asset value?"

"Another takeover bid? Of their top ten holdings, only CATL is beyond our reach. The others are all significant to us. If they can help us lock up 5% of the shares, we'll let them maintain their net asset value and then start a rally. We're not like those small-cap stocks where we were the main players, dragging things out and being led by the nose by Tianjin Capital from beginning to end. No one can shake us out. A portfolio worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of yuan—no one but us can handle it."

After obtaining the data, they analyzed all of Tianjin Hybrid Selection's operations in small-cap stocks last month.

It can only be said that the major players in those small-cap stocks are few and far between.

He doesn't have many chips in his hand, yet he's incredibly greedy.

Although greed is human nature, none of those who die from greed are innocent.

No wonder they can only manage small-scale operations!
"Then it's settled. We'll dump the shares next Monday to drive down market sentiment. Either Tianjin Hybrid Selection will collapse due to sentiment, compounded by the takeover crisis, and face a run on redemptions. Or Tianjin Hybrid Selection will grit its teeth and take over another listed company... Anyway, the initiative is in our hands. If they take over one company, we'll help them improve their net asset value for a day. They're willing to put all their funds in to help us lift the price up. We're happy to do that. The advantage is in our hands!"
