After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 59: Speculative Stocks Also Require Ingenious Pretexts

The setting sun dipped in the west, and sunlight poured through the window, spilling over the sofa.

Lu Liang lazily opened his eyes, feeling his mind sharpened and his body filled with comfort and pleasure.

He saw the shoes and socks of the mother and daughter at the entryway and decided to wash his face in the bathroom before opening Zhang Yun's room.

Mother and daughter were in each other's embrace, sleeping on the bed, peaceful and beautiful, with Zhang Qian's lips curled into a contented smile.

The little one hadn't fallen asleep, and the moment the door opened, she looked at Lu Liang with her round, wide eyes.

A hint of joy showed on her face as she whispered softly, "Uncle, you're awake."

Zhang Qian woke up, brushing back her hair, her eyes squinting, "I'll go wash my face, and then cook."

"Let's clean up and eat out instead."

The three of them headed to a nearby mall.

Having recently opened after renovations, Zhang Qian pointed at the third shop near the entrance, "What do you think of this location?"

The space was 185 square meters—not near a subway station, but it was one of the necessary routes to the subway for several surrounding neighborhoods.

It was past seven in the evening, and the streets were bustling with people; within five steps there'd be a snack stand, and within ten, a restaurant.

Lu Liang remembered what Zhang Qian had said before sleeping and pondered for a moment, "If we open here, the competition will be fierce."

Urban fast food is categorized into two types, one priced per item and the other by weight, both of which are favorites among city-dwelling men and women.

Lu Liang used to frequently eat the weight-priced kind, spending about twenty yuan for a meal with dozens of dishes to choose from.

"Let's give it a try. If the place is clean and tidy, we should be able to make a name for ourselves."

Zhang Qian spoke with a determined tone. This was a residential area with mostly small restaurants, and their sanitary conditions varied greatly.

Urban fast food often settled in city business districts, and there was none on this street yet—it could have potential.

"How much more money is needed?"

Lu Liang stopped trying to dissuade her, knowing there wasn't much money involved anyway.

Zhang Qian, with a beaming smile, shook her head, "I have some savings; it should be enough."

Lu Liang watched her for a long time and sighed, "If you're short of money, don't push yourself too hard."

"Don't worry, I'm not one to pretend to be something I'm not," replied Zhang Qian, her smile blossoming instantly.

"Xiaoguai, did you see anything you like? What do you want to eat?"

"Chestnut chicken pot~"

"Let's go, I thought you'd want McDonald's again."

That evening, Lu Liang stayed overnight at Zhang Qian's place and early the next day arrived at the Yongfeng Building.

The company had gained several new faces; Tang Caide had rehired a finance staff, as well as a clerk and a receptionist.

It seemed there was an intentional effort to balance the male-female dynamic as the financial staffer was a male in his thirties, who appeared to be honest and straightforward.

Still, for roles like clerk and receptionist, it was rare for men to apply for the job interviews, so they ended up being filled by women.

Including Lu Liang, with two men and four women, they finally resembled a proper company.

Tang Caide had created a set of management plans, mainly aimed at the finance and auditing department.

Expenses within two thousand required consent from two people, and those above two thousand required Lu Liang's signature.

The previous approach of buying things first and then claiming reimbursement had become a thing of the past.

She said that in the early stages, it was best to strictly adhere to the rules, as it would be difficult to adjust later when the business grew.

Mainly because their company, unlike other startups, wasn't short on funds and didn't need to bind employees with feelings.

Seeing everything becoming more formal was something that Lu Liang happily welcomed.

After a brief morning meeting to greet the new colleagues, he got started with the day's work.

Last Friday, Teli A closed at a price of 9.80 yuan after a rise of 3.55%.

The new week had the stock's price opening high at 1.25%, charging towards the ten-yuan milestone.

Lu Liang realized it was a good opportunity to accumulate shares.

Chinese people seemed to have a particular fondness for round numbers, an aspect that was especially evident in the stock market, with round numbers acting as milestones.

If it broke through, there'd be ample space to soar, possibly rising another four to five points in an instant; if not, a significant drop would likely follow.

Lu Liang prepared to catch the stock at 9.97 yuan.

However, he hadn't set a buy order like last time, to keep retail investors from seeing financial support beneath.

Lu Liang, relying on fast trades from his brokerage seat, each time the stock failed to breach ten yuan and fell back, would buy a substantial amount of shares, without leaving any orders apparent in the trade details.

It was a repetitive cycle.

Each trading day's first half-hour,

It is often the most active period in the market.

Last week, the average daily turnover rate was only 5.2%, but it began to climb slowly.

When the turnover rate was about to break through 7%, Lu Liang decisively stopped. His holding position had reached 24 million.

In just over ten minutes, he had bought 11 million in chips. If he continued to take over, he probably would attract the attention of institutions.

After all, a sharp rise followed by a drop is a method of clearing out the market, they want to wash out the retail investors to obtain more chips.

If they sense someone is snapping up the shares, they might put their plans on hold and join forces to wash Lu Liang out first.

The good old virtue of planting trees for others to enjoy the shade simply does not exist in the stock market.

They would rather lose themselves than let others profit, let alone lift someone else's sedan chair.

Approaching ten o'clock, Lu Liang calmly watched two institutions perform inside, with the stock price hovering around 9.99 yuan.

After several days of observation, Lu Liang had figured out that there were two institutions involved, one called Zhongxin Fuying, a private equity fund from Shenzhen.

The legal person, Li Jianlin, established the company in April this year, with a registered capital of 50 million and 10 trust plans, managing an asset scale of approximately 2.8 billion.

"All in Shenzhen?"

Teli A is also a Shenzhen enterprise, which inevitably led Lu Liang to speculate on possible insider trading.

Otherwise, a company would not be established in April and prepare 2.8 billion funds within just two months.

There was a very targeted entry into Teli A's trade.

Lu Liang pulled up Teli A's information.

It's said that a good wind relies on strength to reach the sky. To become a speculative stock also requires a well-crafted narrative.

As long as there is good news or a relevant concept, even a pile of shit could be sold at the price of gold.

Teli A's full name is Shenzhen Teli Stock Co., Ltd., formerly a machinery company, with the Shenzhen State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission as the actual controller.

The Shenzhen Shuibei is the largest gold and jewelry wholesale market in Asia, with 80% of the national gold and jewelry transactions being completed there.

And Teli A is the largest owner of the Shuibei district's Teli Jime Gold Jewelry Industrial Park.

"Creating a jewelry ecosystem" is the story it has been telling.

In plain terms, it's a rent-based enterprise that makes money from collecting rent.

Lu Liang really couldn't think of any concept that would justify speculating on a rent-collecting company.

With further research, and full use of imagination,

He finally found a connection to the hottest concept at the time, Teli A's actual controller is the Shenzhen State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

In recent years, the national enterprise reform plan has always been mentioned. The concept has been hyped time and again, but no formal implementation has taken place.

If the national enterprise reform plan were to be implemented, a batch of state-owned enterprise stocks would take off, naturally creating the potential for speculative stocks.

"Playing this way, aren't they afraid of trouble?" Lu Liang was surprised.

Insider trading comes in many forms, the most common of which is knowing about major corporate decisions in advance, and then reacting in the stock market.

Touching classified documents is absolutely taboo. Daring to know about national policy in advance could lead to beheading in a matter of minutes.

Lu Liang felt a bit uneasy, thinking that he already had a 30.4% position, decided to lock in his position first and observe.

When the market officially launches, he would take the next step according to the situation. He mainly did not want to be the victim of unnecessary trouble, nor did he want to be targeted by the Silver Supervision Committee.

At this time, Chen Jinchun knocked on his door to inform that the founding team of ofo was here to sign the contract.

Lu Liang went to the meeting room next door and saw Dai Wei and his classmates. Tang Caide was receiving them.

While preparing the contract, Lu Liang asked, "Mr. Dai, how much do you know about Mobike?"

"I've been paying attention, but once out of the campus, our development philosophy isn't quite the same," Dai Wei was surprised, not expecting Lu Liang to suddenly bring up Mobike.

He also talked about how their philosophies differed.

Although both were shared bicycles, he always believed that bicycles were for riding, to solve the last-mile problem.

There was no need for them to be too fashionable or too high-end, as long as they were rideable.

After all, both bikes use solid tires, bad elasticity, strong jolting feeling, etc., such issues are unsolvable, destined to make riding not too comfortable.

Hu Weiwei was too idealistic, with a romantic sentiment typical of artistic youths. She once said she loved cycling and wished to ride her favorite bicycle on the leaf-strewn streets of Yanjing in autumn, looking at the centuries-old walls of the Forbidden City.

She wanted everyone to experience this kind of romance, which makes life more beautiful through cycling.

For this reason, Mobike's cost of production was twice that of ofo, and Dai Wei was not optimistic about Mobike's future development.

Lu Liang smiled and said calmly, "Mr. Dai, Mobike does have many desirable features that are worth learning from."

Dai Wei, after all, was facing an investor, and couldn't outright say that their ofo was inferior to Mobike in front of Lu Liang.

"Of course, it's only natural to use the barbarians' skills to subdue them,"

Dai Wei replied.
