Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 290 What does the fate of Tianjin Capital have to do with us?
Yang Xi only realized that Yan Li was the one who came to pick her up after she got into the car.

She knew that Lin Lang and Yan Li should have a good relationship, but she never expected that Yan Li would do something like this for Lin Lang.

She came in person to pick up some insignificant person?

"Should I... call you sister-in-law?"

After getting on the bus, Yang Xi waited a while before asking a question in a low voice.

Yan Li said with a smile, "Calling me sister-in-law isn't wrong. Although Lin Lang and I aren't married yet, it's only a matter of time."

"Yes, yes, yes, you and my brother are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

For Yang Xi, this is a fact.

Lin Lang is so powerful now, so only the even more powerful Yan Li is worthy of him.

“Your brother was worried that you wouldn’t be used to life in Shanghai, so he asked me to arrange a place for you to stay. After all, staying in a hotel all the time isn’t comfortable. Having a place to stay will make everything more convenient. I’ll take you to eat first, and then I’ll take you to see some apartments.”

"Oh? Well... actually I can find a cheaper hotel to stay in, so I don't need to trouble you, sister-in-law."

Yang Xi knew that using someone else's house would definitely be more costly.

Given the current situation, there's very little she can do, especially since the cost of living in Shanghai is already quite high.

“It’s no trouble at all. Once things are settled, your brother will feel more at ease. And don’t worry about the hospital either. Your brother has hired the best psychiatric medical team in Shanghai and has been keeping a close eye on things. Even when he’s busy with work, he’ll make time to go to the hospital to check on things.”

Yang Xi: "..."

Yan Li continued, "Also, your mother's condition may require long-term treatment. Even if she improves, she won't be able to leave the medical team. Your brother's idea is to arrange an apartment for you so you can live in Shanghai in the future, making it convenient to go to the hospital if anything happens. Also, the environment back home isn't suitable for recuperation... But don't worry, your brother won't make things difficult for you in terms of living costs in Shanghai, and you don't need to worry about those things at all. His only hope is that you won't be under any pressure and that your family can recover quickly..."

A mist clouded over Yang Xi's eyes.

"Thank you, sisters-in-law."

For the time being, all she could say was thank you.

Making money? That's unrealistic; it's impossible to make money in a short period of time.

"Don't be shy with us. We'll exchange contact information later. Add me on WeChat so you can contact me anytime if you need anything. Even if I can't be there right now, I'll arrange for someone to help you solve the problem."

Yan Li shouldn't have said these things to Yang Xi, since making Yang Xi feel indebted to Lin Lang wouldn't be a good thing for her either.

She really saw a reflection of herself in Yang Xi, although Yang Xi had a different style after taking off her mask.

But the fact that Yang Xi could get Lin Lang to come to Shanghai directly when his family member was sick, while he himself couldn't do the same even after several days, speaks volumes.

It's unrealistic to say she doesn't mind at all, but it's also not to the point that she's completely unable to accept it.

Her affection for Lin Lang stemmed from self-interest; at any time, she prioritized the gains and losses of interests over emotional ones.

Not long after, Yan Li took Yang Xi to a restaurant for a meal, and the two exchanged contact information and added each other on WeChat.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Li took Yang Xi to see the house that had been arranged for her.

It's a large, single-level apartment that's been renovated a long time ago, but no one has lived there for a long time.

Daily necessities are not readily available, but there is a supermarket right at the entrance of the community.

After handing the keys to Yang Xi, Yan Li said, "I just transferred 100,000 yuan to you via WeChat. You still need some daily necessities. Go downstairs and buy them later. If you need anything else, feel free to contact me and your brother. I have to go to the company, so I won't stay here any longer. If you're free tonight, let's have dinner together."

Yan Li did have other things to do, otherwise she wouldn't have left in such a hurry.

She needs to go to Luo Ze's office this afternoon to sign some documents; there are still many things at the company that require her approval.

The current employees at Tianjin Capital are almost all just tools. Only she and Lin Lang are busy. The others either work according to the routine or are assigned tasks on the spot.

After saying goodbye to Yang Xi, Yan Li returned to the company. By then, Lin Lang had already gone to the trading room.

Undoubtedly, after Tianjin Capital once again issued a shareholding announcement on its official website, all of their top ten holdings saw a surge in price.

Since there is no disagreement among retail investors, even if the major players want to sell off, it will only allow more retail investors to acquire shares, and it will not have any effect.

But... by the time the major players received the news, it was too late.

It's not that they didn't notice, but rather that the message wasn't being delivered quickly enough.

Meanwhile, some retail investors kept a close eye on Tianjin Capital's official website and spread the word through various group messages almost the instant the announcement was released.

Even if the major players are a few minutes late, they will have already suffered a small loss in the market and will have to throw out tens or hundreds of millions of shares.

Although for the major players, that amount of chips is just a drop in the ocean.

A gap is a gap. The major players have always had an absolute advantage in terms of information, but this advantage is no longer effective against Tianjin Capital.

Tianjin Capital itself is a primary source of information, and its official website provides firsthand information that is accessible to everyone without any barriers.

Liang Jiwei is still at work today.

His working hours are similar to those of a typical 995 employee, slightly better than 996.

After all, many residential communities do not allow renovations on Saturdays and Sundays.

However, he only rested one day on Saturday and Sunday, and spent the other day doing daily work sorting packages...

In the middle of the night at the express sorting station, Chu Tianhe almost froze to death.

He didn't want to work, so he could only wait outside. In the dead of winter, he stayed up all night, and the result was predictable.

Liang Jiwei didn't feel cold at all; on the contrary, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

I sorted for eight hours at night and earned 160 yuan, which was pretty good overall.

In the morning, Chu Tianhe found him and said that Tianjin Capital had raised its stake again.

However, Chu Tianhe did not continue to mock him at this moment. The reason is simple.

That means he was afraid.

He wasn't afraid of the net asset value of Tianjin Hybrid Selection rising, but rather that Liang Jiwei would choose to redeem during the rising phase. In that case, he would end up with nothing, losing not only high interest but also failing to accomplish anything.

After unloading a box of floor tiles, Liang Jiwei went downstairs and saw Chu Tianhe squatting in a sheltered corner. He asked, "Why aren't you very active today? Did all ten of Tianjin Hybrid Selection's top holdings go up?"

Chu Tianhe: "..."

It did rise, and all stocks hit their daily limit.

Even many of the stocks that were rumored to be held by Tianjin Capital have seen a rebound.

Everyone's betting, betting that Tianjin Capital's next takeover bid will be in their hands.

If you bet correctly, you'll likely see at least five or six consecutive limit-up days.

"Yes, it hit the daily limit."

Today, the net asset value of Tianjin Hybrid Selection will undoubtedly see a significant increase.

If he had followed his previous way of thinking, he would have definitely ridiculed Liang Jiwei severely, because Tianjin Hybrid Selection had been trapped with nearly 4 billion yuan again.

Including the previous acquisition of a stake in CATL, they've already lost 10 billion yuan.

Once this market rally is over, the net asset value of Tianjin Hybrid Selection will experience a sharp drop!
It drops by ten points every day.

Everyone knows that Tianjin Capital has trapped funds, so who would dare to put money in it?

But now, no one wants to leave, since staying one more day means earning one more day.

It's mostly retail investors; they don't have much capital.

We'll at least wait until there's some progress before redeeming the property.

Tianjin Capital has only acquired stakes in two stocks so far. The real question is when it acquires stakes in five or six.

Seeing Chu Tianhe's expression, Liang Jiwei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I promised not to redeem the shares midway. I'm giving you a chance, and I definitely won't go back on my word. Actually, my hesitation before wasn't because I didn't have a good view of Tianjin Capital, but simply because I didn't want to take such a big risk. You've already helped me divide the risks and left me a way out, so I'll definitely give you a chance too."

After saying that, Liang Jiwei went back to doing his work.

With Chu Tianhe by my side, life wasn't as boring as before, even though Chu Tianhe mostly mocked me.

Besides retail investors, large investors are also paying attention to Tianjin Capital.

For example, Wang Wei.

They invested a lot of money here, and although they were prepared to lose money, Tianjin Capital is now playing too big a game.

"Tianjin Capital, in order to improve its net asset value and to stop those mutual funds from targeting them, has chosen a path that is essentially tantamount to drinking poison to quench its thirst..."

"If we had known he was going to do this, we would have just bought stocks directly. We wouldn't have had to worry so much. Now our funds are locked in funds, and we can't withdraw them or wait for them to happen..."

"There should be a few days of good market conditions. Let's keep a close eye on it. If it really doesn't work out, we'll find an opportunity to redeem one-third of it."

"Redeem us? Lin Lang won't hold a grudge against us, will he?"

"Can he really lose all our money? Besides, we only redeemed one-third. If Lin Lang really gets angry, we can just reinvest the redeemed funds."

Wang Wei could already see the risks involved and only wanted to redeem a portion of the money. Even if he lost all the remaining money, he would at least have given Lin Lang an explanation.

Meanwhile, He Qiang was also contacted by the investors immediately.

After all, at the beginning, these investors all believed that Lin Lang would lead them to make a fortune, but now risks have emerged.

"President He, Tianjin Capital's approach is risky and could easily wipe us out. We all came with leverage this time. Even if we lose, you still have the pawnshop business to support you, but our businesses aren't enough to help us make a comeback."

Upon seeing this, He Qiang said, "What's the rush? What time is it? Besides, didn't we make money last Friday? Today, it's obvious we're going to make money too. When has Brother Lin Lang ever treated us unfairly?"

“Of course I know we’ll make money today, and even tomorrow, and for the next week. But Tianjin Capital is aggressively acquiring shares. They have so much capital locked up; who will foot the bill? We can either leave now, which would ease some of the pressure on Tianjin Capital, or we can wait until the net asset value goes up before leaving, which would put even more pressure on them. You should talk to Lin Lang and ask him what he’s thinking. We can stay, but we can’t risk our lives…”

"Brother Lin Lang is the second largest shareholder of Tianjin Capital. How could he possibly tell me about the company's affairs? Anyway, let me make this clear: no one is allowed to leave. Stay inside obediently. I believe Brother Lin Lang wouldn't betray us!"

As a private equity executive, He Qiang has a basic understanding of finance, which is much better than that of retail investors online.

He certainly knew that the net asset value of Tianjin Hybrid Selection would rise to some extent, but after Tianjin Capital's acquisition of shares, the so-called rise was just a flash in the pan, and sooner or later it would face the risk of being run on.

But he couldn't very well agree to let them go; after all, the risks were obvious, and that group of people might all run away.

They have over two billion yuan invested. If they run away after making another 20 or 30 percent profit, they will have to redeem over three billion yuan.

That would hasten the collapse of Tianjin Hybrid Selection.

At this moment, he definitely couldn't let Lin Lang feel any pressure!
Over the past few months, they have all enjoyed tremendous benefits. While the current risks do exist, even if Lin Lang is only using their funds to help Tianjin Hybrid Selection overcome its current difficulties, it is something they should do.

You can't expect Mr. Lin to be the boss when it's profitable, but then immediately change his attitude and pull away the chair when there's even a slight risk involved, right?

Even if they lose money this time, he believes Lin Lang will definitely give everyone another chance.

Meanwhile, several investors were already sitting together.

A gaunt man in his fifties said, "He Qiang has gone mad. He wants to drag us all over to bail out Tianjin Capital!"

“Although we made some money before, everyone didn’t invest much. Overall, we only made a few million, maybe ten or twenty million. This time, we’ve leveraged our investments. We’ve borrowed almost all the money we could. If we suffer losses, who can afford it? He Qiang is so generous. He’s using us to do Lin Lang a favor. We can’t gamble with our lives.”

"Indeed, He Qiang made a fortune following Lin Lang, but we haven't. But there's no need to rush. At least in the short term, the risk isn't high. We can take advantage of this market trend and make a killing first. This round of market activity should last until Friday, right? Let's calculate at six points of net asset value per day. By Friday, combined with what we made last Friday, we can make a total of fifty points. Each of us can make about a hundred million. At that point, who will care about anyone else! What does the fate of Tianjin Capital have to do with us? Why should we bear the risk?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Anyway, we're free, we can redeem ourselves anytime!"

A sophisticated young woman sitting at the very back frowned...
