Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 372 609999 is not bad!
Yan Li only contacted Lin Lang after seeing that the exchange rate had stabilized.

She could go straight into the trading room, but... there was no point in going in.

Lin Lang had no reason to lie to her about the margin call, and she knew that because of the margin issue, she wouldn't lose everything.

It's only the first day; Lin Lang can't possibly fill all his positions.

For her, the most important thing was how to help Lin Lang get out of the shadow of this failure. After all, Lin Lang had never failed before, and he certainly had never tasted the bitterness of failure.

Many people who have always been successful may never be able to get back up after experiencing a single failure.

In this matter, losing money is actually the least of the problems.

only……

Lin Lang's behavior was too abnormal.

She had considered all sorts of possible scenarios for Lin Lang, such as his unwillingness to admit his failure, which might make him feel that she was belittling him.

If that's the case, you have to prepare for the worst.

After all, this shows that Lin Lang's self-worship has reached a deeply rooted level. This mistake is just the beginning, and he may very well fall into the abyss step by step.

I also considered that Lin Lang might be feeling down, even a little emotional or insecure...

That's a good thing. Just gently guide him and help him rebuild his confidence.

She never expected that Lin Lang would be so calm and even offer her advice.

what is this?
There are no case studies in psychology specifically addressing this situation.

Who can remain this calm after experiencing a major setback?
This situation is more like...

It seems more like Lin Lang is setting a trap.

She had been with Lin Lang for a long time, and Lin Lang usually did things for one of three reasons.

One reason is simply that the relationship is good enough that he's willing to help even if there's no benefit for him.

The second type is things that are profitable, and things that Lin Lang specifically plans often yield huge profits.

The third one is simply setting a trap for someone.

For example, various adjustments to funds, and various micro-manipulation techniques during trading.

Lin Lang has already cleaned up most of the large investors' funds in Tianjin Hybrid Selection.

Wang Wei took nearly a billion yuan directly from here. After we told him, he just nodded symbolically and didn't try to stop us at all.

In Yan Li's view, Lin Lang's lack of obstruction meant that he was definitely thinking of making the other party regret it, which also meant that he was confident in bringing Tianjin Hybrid Selection to a higher position.

Lin Lang is not a magnanimous person; he is extremely stingy.

A person who is extremely confident in themselves can never be generous.

For example, her own father is not a generous person. He was willing to spend money to buy shares of Big Fish Media for Shen An'an, purely to shut up the Shen family.

Yan Li immediately ruled out the second one.

There's no profit to be made in this business. If you lose money today, it will be extremely difficult to make up for it later.

If you lose 50% of your capital today, you need to double it to recover. If you lose 80%, you need to quadruple it to recover.

Although all sorts of miracles have happened to Lin Lang, and Yan Li believes that Lin Lang can do this, what about time?

Time represents uncertainty.

This is why options are valuable. The longer the option has a term, the more expensive the option premium becomes. On the contrary, end-of-term options are almost ignored unless the option premium goes to zero, at which point people will have some interest.

However, options trading involves using time to buy uncertainty in an attempt to profit. In this case, Lin Lang has missed out on a potential opportunity and will have to pay the future time cost.

Even if the market is currently falling and the accounts are suffering huge losses, it is unrealistic to trick Guan Sheng and Luo Ze into signing an agreement so that when the market recovers, they can lose money and Tianjin Capital can make a fortune.

The reason I'm signing this supplementary agreement so late tonight is purely to go through the motions and represent Tianjin Capital's stance.

The conditions for signing such contracts are very strict; a notary and filing are both indispensable.

Where can we go through the normal procedures so late at night?
If the normal procedures cannot be completed, then Guan Sheng and Luo Ze can tear up the contract at any time, rendering the contract useless.

Therefore, given that the only opportunity to pursue profits is tonight, and the procedures cannot be completed, this is a contradiction, so it is definitely not true.

As for setting a trap? Yan Li couldn't figure out what Lin Lang was thinking or what kind of trap he could set.

It's nothing more than treating Wang Wei the same way, making Guan Sheng and Luo Ze regret it when they make money in the future.

But Guan Sheng and Luo Ze are not the same as Wang Wei. There is no need to get angry with Guan Sheng and Luo Ze. They are complementary to each other, and it is meaningless to embarrass them.

After eliminating possibilities, Yan Li could only think of one: just as Lin Lang had said, he simply didn't want Guan Sheng and Luo Ze to suffer losses, and he himself wasn't very confident about recouping his investment in the future.

After all, there are too many uncertainties in foreign exchange transactions. Lin Lang probably made his judgment based on certain factors and felt that today was an opportunity.

But if the judgment is clearly wrong, then one will inevitably reject the previous basis in their mind, and it is normal to stop trading forex in the future.

But...

She felt that Lin Lang was too honest.

How could this guy possibly be honest?

Sometimes, you can't trust this guy's words at all, unless it's a normal discussion about work arrangements.

Upon arriving at the lounge, I noticed that Guan Sheng and Luo Ze hadn't touched their tea and were each looking at their phones, seemingly engrossed in something.

So he went over and said, "Both leaders, has the agreement been signed? I just contacted Lin Lang, and he agrees; he doesn't want you to bear the risk."

Luo Ze looked up and said, "Did Lin Lang say the same thing?"

"Yes."

At this moment, Luo Ze looked at Guan Sheng and casually asked, "So? Want to bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

"I bet you ten packs of cigarettes! If you lose, buy them for me right now! I don't need anything too expensive, ten packs of Soft Lotus will do!"

"Get lost! How much do I earn in a month? I can barely make enough for one."

"Okay, one it is!"

Yan Li, who was standing nearby, asked again, "The two leaders..."

Guan Sheng said, "President Yan, we came here today not to sign any agreement. We just couldn't sleep and came to take a look. Whether we make money or lose money this time, it's something that investment products have to face. We can't expect Tianjin Capital to bear the loss. Besides, even if we sign, can we represent those fund investors?"

Yan Lixiu frowned slightly.

I didn't do a good job of what Lin Lang asked me to do.

So she continued, "Leader Guan, regarding the fund investors, Tianjin Capital can admit our mistake and will reissue an agreement to them, allowing them to transfer their funds to Tianjin Global Selection. Our company has a sufficient share in Tianjin Global Selection to handle these agreements."

In Tianjin Global Selection, there are over six billion US dollars of Tianjin Capital's own funds, which can be easily exchanged.

It's simply that the workload is enormous, dealing with 6.8 million investors.

Moreover, it also has a certain impact on Tianjin Capital's long-standing good reputation.

"Sigh, it's better to just accept the loss than do this, since the impact is already significant anyway. By the way, does Mr. Yan have a meeting room here? Could you turn on the multimedia projector? I don't want to watch it on my phone."

Yan Li: "..." There must be a conference room.

Seeing that the two of them had no intention of reading the agreement at all, Yan Li had no choice but to give up.

She has said everything she needed to say.

Once inside the conference room, Guan Sheng said, "President Yan, just have someone help us get the exchange rate information. There's no need for you to stay here with us, so as not to affect your work. After Lin Lang comes out, we'll chat with him for a while and then leave."

"Well, okay."

Yan Li didn't want to chat with them either; there was nothing to talk about.

She preferred to think about how to coax Lin Lang that night.

However, Yan Li didn't arrange for anyone else to do this; she took care of it herself.

Just as they finished, Luo Ze said, "Would you die if I didn't smoke? This is someone's conference room."

"Did I smoke it? Can't I just take it out and smell it?"

This is Guan Sheng's rebuttal.

Yan Li had no choice but to say, "I'll have someone bring two ashtrays over later. The conference room is quite spacious, so smoking won't have much of an impact."

Anyway, she won't be coming anytime soon.

Besides, I've smelled plenty of smoke myself; my own dad smokes all the time.

After Yan Li left, Luo Ze said, "How was it? I managed to get you the right to smoke at Tianjin Capital."

"Ha...that's because you don't have it anymore..."

This is a normal part of daily life; after all, they can't very well ask Yan Li if he can smoke—it would be too embarrassing.

The banter between the two led Yan Li to agree without lowering her standards or losing face.

After all, they were of similar status and position, so it was reasonable for them to joke around.

In less than ten minutes, data fluctuations appeared on the multimedia projection screen.

"See that? It's gone up!"

"It's still early. Who knows how many positions Lin Lang opened before?"

"No matter how many positions I open, as long as I make money today, even if it's just a penny, I've already won!"

"Okay, okay, if you win, I definitely won't owe you anything."

……

Netizens have absolutely no idea what Tianjin Capital is doing.

Because the composition of this new QDII fund is somewhat complicated, it doesn't specify whether it's an equity fund or a bond fund; it only states that it's an actively managed fund.

This makes it impossible for people to judge the situation.

"Why hasn't it opened yet? I'm waiting for it to open."

A post suddenly appeared, and then hundreds of people quickly followed up with comments.

"Holy crap, you guys are all waiting? I thought I was the only one waiting."

"I've been waiting for hours. After get off work, I ate something and lay in bed, checking the page every now and then."

"What are you going to update? It won't be updated until after 5 a.m. tomorrow, right?"

"Just browsing the posts, and also checking if anyone's reporting on the market, just in case the US stock market isn't doing so well."

"Actually, don't have too high hopes for the first day. Tianjin Global Selection's first day was just average, wasn't it? The main thing is to see how they perform on the second day. However, entering on Friday, I feel that the timing is not very good, after all, there is a gap of Saturday and Sunday, and there are too many variables next week."

"Dude, do you still think you're playing the A-share market? US stocks are T+0, so you can profit and exit directly during the trading day. As long as Tianjin Capital is strong enough, it can easily make a lot of money by just catching a couple of fluctuations."

"You're making a big fuss about randomly picking two big fluctuations? This fund isn't small, and it's impossible to handle multiple trades within a day. Even if Tianjin Capital provides tools to help, where are you going to find two big fluctuations? Do you really think the US stock market is all about wild swings? Most of their stocks open and close in a day, with very little intraday volatility."

"I was just saying it casually, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Which eye of yours saw me get angry? I was just correcting some of your common-sense mistakes."

"Yes, yes, I've never traded US stocks, but you have, okay? If you're trading US stocks, how can you possibly look down on mutual funds? Stock investors have never looked down on us mutual fund investors."

"Brother, I think you're being too sensitive. Who said that people who buy stocks can't buy funds? Besides, this is just a forum, are there any restrictions on who can participate?"

Without warning, all sorts of online arguments emerged.

Online, you never know who the person behind the scenes is or what their personality is like. Often, two strangers can start arguing over just one sentence.

In addition, the internet itself is a place for various emotions to be expressed. We often see explosive comments online, which can even give people a sense of unreality, making them feel as if they are living in another world.

……

"Holy crap! What happened?"

Guan Sheng looked at the exchange rate chart and saw it suddenly jump up a lot.

In just about an hour, it rose from 1.0853 to 1.0866, with a large bullish candlestick in between.

Normally, exchange rate fluctuations occur in increments of four decimal places, either going up or down one step at a time.

Just now, in a very short time, it rose from 1.0859 to 1.0866. Although it was still rising little by little, the time was so short that it was reflected on the candlestick chart as a straight line.

It only took two or three minutes from start to finish.

"Who knows... Anyway, Lin Lang is definitely up to no good, probably trying to embarrass us."

"Does he really have that much confidence?" Guan Sheng questioned this matter.

"I don't know, I'm just guessing."

"What's the basis? What is the basis?"

"What basis do you need for wild guesses? I'm not trying to be mean, but you're the boss of Tianjin Capital, and you can't even figure out the personalities of your own employees. I guess that's all you're capable of..."

"Hehe, I know better than you! Even if it goes up to this level now, you might not be able to take that carton of cigarettes. You can only be sure of winning if it goes up to 1.0886, which is still a long way off."

"What if Lin Lang opened a lot of positions at the bottom? He might already be making a profit."

"No matter how much more you invest, it's impossible to make money at this level! With 400x leverage, where in the market are there so many contracts available for him..."

"I get the feeling that you're about to lose and you're just being stubborn."

"Hehehehe..."

……

Inside the office, Yan Li was staring at the candlestick chart on her computer screen.

Suddenly, someone pushed the door open.

Seeing Lin Lang walk in, she asked excitedly, "Have they signed the agreement? If they have, we'll use the agreement to threaten them and make them give our company a fast track to listing. Also... I want a good stock code, 609999 would be nice, it's in their hands."

Yan Li: "..."
