Becoming the King of Bottom Fishing After Going All-In on A-Shares

Friday, January 9th.

Today, there are even more people in the trading hall of the branch.

After learning that the fundraising account had hit its daily limit yesterday and started investing in Hong Kong stocks today, even more people from outside the university came to watch.

However, everyone is in a hurry today.

It's not just because the overnight surge in US stocks disrupted the previous market rhythm.

More importantly, as the opening date approached, not only was Lu Chenzhou nowhere to be seen, but none of his classmates who usually accompanied him to the sales office showed up today either.

"Something's not right. This is too weird. Lu didn't come, and none of the other students are here either?"

"That's right! Usually at this time, those students would be crowding in front of the price display screen, but today there's not a soul in sight. Has something happened that we don't know about?"

"Could it be that there's something wrong with their Hong Kong stock margin trading? I heard that kind of thing is a secretive channel. If they get investigated or the funding chain breaks, those students definitely won't dare to show their faces!"

"Don't talk nonsense, don't scare me. I still have shares in CITIC Securities, and I'm counting on Brother Lu to set the direction. What will happen to my shares if something happens to him?"

"I think he was probably delayed by something. Maybe he had a class at Renmin University, or maybe the school talked to him? After all, the student stock speculation incident caused such a big stir, the school definitely has to do something about it."

"No, no, even if Lu Chenzhou was summoned for questioning, those students couldn't all have disappeared, could they? They must have been in cahoots with each other and are keeping something big from outsiders like us."

"That's right, it's almost 9:20. If we don't come soon, we won't even make it to the order deadline. I still have CITIC Securities shares in my hand. Whether I stay or leave depends entirely on his word."

"Hey! You don't need to wait anymore. You probably won't be coming back. The school leaders have arranged a temporary office for Lu Chenzhou in the Renmin University Cultural and Technological Park."

"Holy crap! Wasn't this supposed to be a meeting? Why are we suddenly given an office?"

"Who knows? Anyway, all the students from Renmin University have gone to the Cultural and Technological Park, so we can forget about it, we can't get in."

"Oh no, I was thinking of continuing to copy homework, but now I can't do that anymore, what am I going to do?"

"I heard that Lu Chenzhou plans to start a company, operate it in compliance with regulations, and seek support from the university. The university has arranged for him to enter the Renmin University Cultural and Technological Park."

In a courtyard house in the west of the city, Zhao Xianglong hadn't slept all night, with densely packed market information notes spread out in front of him.

These past few days, Lu Chenzhou has been making great strides, leading his student fundraising account to a total profit of over 100,000, but he himself has missed out on a lot.

Watching helplessly as the poor student he once mocked rose to fame step by step, jealousy and resentment gnawed at his heart like venomous snakes.

Last night, the news that Lu Chenzhou was going to switch to Hong Kong stocks and operate with 10 times leverage spread like wildfire throughout the Renmin University financial circle, causing an uproar on Baidu Tieba and QQ groups. Zhao Xianglong got the news immediately.

He sneered. He knew all too well the rules of the Hong Kong stock market: no price limits, T+0 trading, complicated cross-border channels, and restrictions on capital inflows and outflows. Compared to the A-share market, which has price limits, the risks were more than double.

If you invest with 10 times leverage, even a slight fluctuation, let alone a sharp drop, can wipe out your entire investment and leave you with nothing.

"You think you can keep playing tricks just by changing venues? The Hong Kong stock market is much more murky than the A-share market. Foreign institutions and speculative funds take turns to squeeze you out. You're just a mainland student who can't even figure out the channels, yet you want to lead a bunch of laymen to make money? You're practically asking for trouble."

He didn't sleep a wink last night, going through the recent trends of Hong Kong stocks and investigating the ins and outs of cross-border margin trading. The more he investigated, the more he felt that Lu Chenzhou's move was a foolish one, a gambler's act of being blinded by victory.

He even secretly calculated that if Lu Chenzhou's Hong Kong stocks were to be liquidated, he would not only lose all the money he had made in the A-shares market, but also be burdened with huge debts.

Those students who followed suit will definitely cause a huge uproar. In that case, Lu Chenzhou will be disgraced, and the power of the Renmin University Finance Department will eventually return to its own hands.

"Young master, breakfast is ready."

The maid tiptoed in, and seeing his gloomy face, she didn't dare to breathe.

Zhao Xianglong waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the Hong Kong stock market's delayed quotes on the computer screen, his tone icy: "No need. Prepare the tenfold leverage I requested. Go all in on CITIC Securities today."

"I'll contact Hong Kong stock margin trading channels again; I want to see what stocks Lu Chenzhou is actually buying."

He was unwilling to just watch like this, and even if he didn't follow the trend of Hong Kong stocks, he would keep a close eye on Lu Chenzhou's movements.

If the other party falls into a trap, he wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to kick them while they're down, completely eliminating this thorn in his side.

Even if Lu Chenzhou manages to make a profit by sheer luck, he needs to figure out the other party's trading logic. He absolutely cannot let himself miss out on the gains like he did in the A-share market before.

Soon, the assistant sent a message, reporting to Zhao Xianglong in detail about Lu Chenzhou seeking financing from Lin Wan, being summoned by the school, and then being taken to the office in the science park.

Hearing that Lu Chenzhou was not only not held accountable, but also received the school's incubation site, she was instantly enraged.

"An incubator office? The school is really protecting him, packaging speculative stock trading as a startup project. Do they really think everyone is blind?"

Jealousy burned fiercely within him, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Why was Lu Chenzhou elevated to a pedestal just because he made a correct bet once, while he himself was forgotten by everyone for his early setbacks?

Why is it that a poor student with no background or connections can have a smooth journey and receive preferential treatment from the school?

"Hiding away in a tech park and operating behind closed doors? Do you think you can avoid everyone that way?"

Hong Kong stocks don't have daily price limits, so 10x leverage is like a sword of Damocles hanging over your head. I'm waiting to see you get liquidated as soon as the market opens, waiting to see you fall from your pedestal and be smashed to pieces.

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "You haven't even figured out the A-share market yet, and now you're going to play with Hong Kong stocks. You're really getting cocky."

"That's fine too. Today I'll invest ten times more in CITIC Securities, and in a few days, I'll use my financial advantage to dump Hong Kong stocks and wipe out all your A-share profits."

In room 608 of the Renmin University Cultural and Technological Park, a group of young people excitedly looked around.

This is a typical temporary office space for startups on the 6th floor of the science park, about 30 square meters, with its own door.

The walls were painted a clean white, and the room was well-lit. A long desk was placed directly opposite the door, with matching black office chairs neatly arranged, and simple filing cabinets on both sides.

The campus network line has been connected, and the screens of the two desktop computers, which had been tested in advance, are lit up, displaying real-time stock quotes for Hong Kong and A-shares.

A water dispenser sits in the corner, and a temporary incubation permit, recently stamped by the school, is posted on the door.

Compared to the noisy and crowded trading hall of the brokerage, this place is quiet and private, and you don't have to be watched and talked about by outsiders, which perfectly meets the needs of trading.

"My God, this is so awesome! We don't have to squeeze into the brokerage anymore. We can check the market and place orders right here. It's a hundred times more comfortable than outside."

"The school really puts in a good job. I thought I'd only get a warning or a talk at most, but they approved an incubation office right away, in the core incubation area of ​​the Cultural Building. Brother Lu, you have too much influence."

"It seems that the school is supporting our Hong Kong stock trading as a startup project. They've provided us with a venue and standardized our behavior to avoid rumors and keep us away from irrelevant people in the business department."

"The leader really knows how to play dirty tricks, killing two birds with one stone."

"It wasn't that the leader was being cunning; it was that Brother Lu was clever. He took the opportunity to propose starting a company, operating it legally, and even sought help from the school."

"I guess the school leaders had no choice but to give us such a small office."

Looking out the window at the bustling Zhongguancun Street, Lu Chenzhou never expected that the school would approve an office for him.

Of course, Professor Zhou Xingbang played a significant role in this.

Wen Zhiyu glanced at his watch; there were less than ten minutes left before the Hong Kong stock market opened, and the A-share opening auction was about to begin.

"The market is about to open."

The laughter and joking around vanished instantly, and the once lively room fell silent as everyone turned to look at Lu Chenzhou.
