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

In the evening, the finance channels of major portal websites such as Sina Finance, Sohu Finance, and Hexun.com all featured related reports as their top headlines.

Sina Finance's headline reads: "Renmin University students make a killing on both the long and short sides of BYD, earning HK$2175 million in one day."

In just two hours, the number of comments exceeded 10,000.

In the comments section, some were amazed, some questioned, some mocked, and some admired:

"Awesome! This is a true stock market genius!"

"Just good luck, what's there to brag about?"

"Want to show me your luck? Buy at 8 yuan, sell at 16 yuan, short the entire position at 12 yuan in the same minute. You try it?"

"Ten times leverage? What is this if not gambling?"

"They won the bet, what about you?"

"I lost the bet, so I know this isn't gambling, it's skill."

Is it possible that he has inside information?

"Upstairs, did you even read his operational logic? He's talking about publicly available information, something everyone can see. It's just that even if you saw it, you wouldn't believe it, but he did."

"What I find most terrifying is his mindset. I heard that his expression didn't change at all throughout the entire transaction; he remained completely calm."

"That's the difference."

A user with the ID "Old Leek in the Financial Circle" posted a long comment, which was pushed to the top:

"I work in the securities industry for fifteen years. I saw this news today and I have a few words to say."

First of all, from a technical point of view, Lu Chenzhou's operation was indeed textbook-level.

The logic for buying is clear, the logic for selling is even clearer, and the logic for short selling is the clearest.

Faced with a positive development like Buffett's investment, the ability to exit immediately at the opening bell and short the market with all available funds within the same minute—I've rarely seen such composure in this industry.

Secondly, the phrase "the fish tail has thorns" shows that his understanding of risk is deeper than that of many fund managers.

In this market, most people die because of the "hold on a little longer" mentality.

He can see the fish's tail and still resist eating it. That's more valuable than his keen eye.

Finally, I want to say that this person's future isn't in today's deal, but in his own eyes.

This comment received tens of thousands of likes.

A user with the ID "Renmin University Student" also posted a comment:

"I am a student at the School of Finance and Economics of Renmin University. Today I witnessed Lu Chenzhou trading with my own eyes. I can say that those people on the Internet who say he was lucky are people who did not understand him."

When BYD opened at 16 yuan this morning, everyone went crazy, shouting "It's going to go up!"

Only Lu Chenzhou sat there, expressionless.

When he liquidated his long positions, the entire market fell into complete silence.

When he went all in shorting, many people called him crazy.

But he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

He didn't say anything when the stock price plummeted.

He didn't say anything when the stock price dropped to 12 yuan.

He didn't say anything after closing out the position.

During the process, he only answered when Professor Zhou Xingbang couldn't help but ask him.

Throughout the entire process, his expression remained unchanged.

It wasn't an act; it was genuine calm.

"In my twenty-two years of life, this is the first time I've ever met someone like this."

Below this comment, someone replied:

"That's true professionalism. It's not something you can learn by looking at candlestick charts; it's something you cultivate through mental discipline."

That evening, the news reached the United States.

The Wall Street Journal's website republished a Reuters report with the headline: "Chinese Student Makes $2.8 Million in One Day on BYD Stock."

The report briefly described Lu Chenzhou's actions and quoted an unnamed executive from Goldman Sachs Asia:

"This is not just luck. This is a rare combination of vision, courage, and discipline. We don't see this even among seasoned professionals."

The last paragraph of the report reads:

"While global markets are panicking over the financial crisis, a 20-year-old student in Beijing is calmly reading a book on securities analysis, with $2.8 million in his account.

Perhaps that tells you something about who will win in the end.”

That evening, Lu Chenzhou's name appeared on CCTV's financial channel's evening news.

The host said with a slightly surprised tone:

"Today, the stock trading activities of a Renmin University student have attracted widespread attention in the market."

This third-year university student named Lu Chenzhou earned HK$2175 million in a single day on the Hong Kong stock market.

His operational logic is: when the positive news is realized, the peak is reached; when sentiment reverses, short selling should be done decisively.

Industry insiders warn that leveraged trading carries extremely high risks, and ordinary investors should not blindly follow suit.

The report lasted only thirty seconds, but in those thirty seconds, Lu Chenzhou's name went from being discussed in a small circle of the financial industry to becoming a national news topic.

Outside the window, there were no stars in the night sky over Beijing, but the lights of the financial district in the distance turned half the sky orange-red.

On this day, the name "Lu Chenzhou" spread from the Renmin University campus throughout the entire financial circle.

From Financial Street to Central, Hong Kong, from Tsinghua University BBS to Wall Street trading floors, countless people are discussing this name and reviewing this transaction.

Some say he's a genius, some say he's crazy, and some say he must have inside information.

But those who truly understand the industry know that behind this deal was not luck, not insider information, but a person who combined "seeing clearly" and "doing the right thing" to the extreme.

In this market, only one in ten thousand people can do this.

Tuesday, May 30th, early morning.

The headlines of major financial media outlets were almost simultaneously covered by the same news.

The front-page headline of the 21st Century Business Herald reads: "Double Kill by Bulls and Bears: A Student's HK$2175 Million Trading Day."

The headline of the First Financial Daily reads: "Renmin University students double-handedly profited 2175 million yuan from both long and short positions in BYD, saying 'There are thorns in the tail, no need to eat it.'"

The China Securities Journal headline reads: "Buffett's investment in BYD triggers massive shock; Renmin University students suffer 'double whammy' (losses on both long and short positions), becoming the focus."

The Hong Kong Economic Journal headline reads: "Mainland students make a killing on BYD, earning 2175 million in half a day; 'a fish tail with thorns' becomes a catchy phrase."

The headline of Caijing magazine reads: "A Student's Foresight, or Market Madness? A Review of Lu Chenzhou's BYD Transaction."

Southern Metropolis Daily headline: "Renmin University student earns 2175 million yuan in one day, more accurate than Buffett?"

The Beijing News headline reads: "A Student's 2175 Million: A Comeback in a Bear Market."

The headline in the *China Times* reads: "Unveiling the Secrets of 'Leveraged Brother' Lu Chenzhou: How a Student Amassed 2175 Million Yuan."

At nine o'clock in the morning, the nurses pushed their carts from the nurses' station to deliver medicine to each ward, the wheels making a slight gurgling sound on the floor.

Wen Zhiyu sat by the hospital bed, holding a bowl of white porridge in her hand, stirring it gently with a spoon to let the heat dissipate.

Her mother leaned against the rocking hospital bed, her face sallow and her eyes sunken, but she seemed to be in better spirits than yesterday.

"Mom, have some porridge." Wen Zhiyu scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and brought it to her mother's lips.

Her mother opened her mouth, slowly swallowed, and then looked at her with an indescribable look in her eyes.

"Zhiyu, what exactly happened with that money you mentioned yesterday?" Her mother's voice was soft, but every word was earnest. "Did your classmate really earn that much for you?"

Wen Zhiyu scooped up another spoonful of porridge and handed it to her, saying, "Mom, you drink your porridge first."

"Answer me first."

Wen Zhiyu put down her spoon, took out a piece of paper from her bag, which was the account details she had just printed from the bank.

She handed the paper to her mother, pointing to a line of numbers on it: "Mom, look, this is the 30 that just arrived in the account."

It wasn't borrowed, nor was it from loan sharks; it was money I earned by investing it for my classmate.

Her mother stared at the paper for a long time. She didn't recognize any account details, but she recognized the number 300,000.

It was followed by a string of zeros.

"This..." Her mother's hands began to tremble, "Did you really earn this?"

Wen Zhiyu corrected, "It wasn't me who earned it; it was my classmate who helped me earn it. I gave him the money, he invested it for me, and we shared the profits."

Her mother remained silent for a long time, then she looked up and met Wen Zhiyu's eyes: "Your classmate, is he a boy?"

Wen Zhiyu paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes."

How big?

"Junior year."

"One year younger than you?"

"Um."

Her mother fell silent again.

Then she asked a question that almost made Wen Zhiyu choke on her saliva: "Does he have feelings for you?"
