204: With the launch of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, an era has arrived where everyone is a stock market guru!

The two chatted for a while.

Finally, Wang Lin said directly, "I've already come to your turf, Boss Ma, aren't you going to come over and fulfill your duties as a host?"

Boss Ma agreed without a second thought, "Alright, if I have time later, I'll head over to your side."

Wang Lin wasn't happy when he heard this, "What do you mean 'if I have time'? Today is a trading day! On such an important trading day as Friday, I've already come all the way to Wuzhen; that shows enough sincerity, right!! What are you so busy with every day, Boss Ma?"

If anyone else had spoken to Boss Ma like that, he would have likely lost his temper long ago.

Of course, no one dared to speak to Boss Ma like that either.

In this era, Boss Ma was practically a legend.

The Ali Baba he created, along with Singles' Day, Alipay, and the like, were all incredibly impressive existences.

More importantly, he hadn't been mythologized to the extreme yet.

It would be in September, when Ali Baba rang the bell at NASDAQ, that his prestige would reach its peak.

It was the largest IPO in American history; this IPO, which catapulted Boss Ma to become the richest man in China and Asia, created countless wealth legends.

But when Wang Lin spoke to him like that, Boss Ma just thought he was joking.

What was Wang Lin's status? A fresh college graduate!!

But at the same time, he was the boss of Junlin Finance, a super tycoon worth tens of billions, capable of directly or indirectly mobilizing the flow of hundreds of billions in capital.

He could also create some opportunities for Boss Ma, and his future potential was great.

More importantly, he had started from scratch to reach this point.

Having said all that, it was actually just a premise.

Even so, if it were anyone else, given Boss Ma's status, he could still choose to ignore them if he wanted to.

Boss Ma had that kind of power.

The point is, under these circumstances, Boss Ma found Wang Lin very likeable, which is why this happened.

Boss Ma laughed and said, "Fine, fine, fine, just send me the address. I'll head over in a bit!!"

Wang Lin casually sent over the location for this keep running shoot. He was heading over there in a bit; there was a small shoot today, and Wang Lin was also going to take the opportunity to relax with Guli Nazha.

"Xizha Scenic Area?"

Looking at the location, a smile flashed across the corner of Boss Ma's mouth, "That really is a good place!"

Over on Wang Lin's side.

After finishing the call with Boss Ma, Wang Lin held Guli Nazha and went back to sleep for a bit.

Guli Nazha, having listened to Wang Lin's words, was a bit dazed. Boss Ma?

Is that the Boss Ma from the Ali Group?

Although she knew Wang Lin's social circle was very broad, he actually had connections with a tycoon of Boss Ma's level?

No wonder he was able to get her into the recording set of a variety show of the level of keep running. Too powerful!!

Guli Nazha looked at Wang Lin, who had fallen back asleep, and glanced at the time beside her; it was already past 9:30.

She had crammed quite a bit of stock trading knowledge and knew that today, Friday, was still market hours, yet Wang Lin, this stock market tycoon, didn't care about it at all.

Was he not afraid of losing money?

She had heard that stock Traders lived on a pack of cigarettes and a cup of tea, staring at a K-line chart all day.

Also, those two hands—even while asleep, they weren't behaving.

Guli Nazha's little face turned red, and she held her breath, not daring to speak.

Wuzhen Xizha Scenic Area.

This place had already been booked out by the keep running production team.

When Guli Nazha arrived here, arm-in-arm with Wang Lin, the production team had been waiting for a long time.

It was obvious that the production team knew Wang Lin's identity.

The production team leader had originally been sitting there looking nonchalant, but when he saw Wang Lin, he immediately rushed over with a face full of smiles, "Boss Wang, you've arrived. This must be Miss Guli, right? Please, this way. The sun is a bit strong; we wouldn't want you to get sunburned!"

As he spoke, he wore a sycophantic, bootlicking smile.

Wang Lin was used to this and nodded.

He reflexively glanced at the sun; it was quite warm.

This old guy was really forcing a topic of conversation.

However, this kowtowing to wealth was still quite satisfying to Wang Lin.

These little ripples caught the attention of the stars in the distance, the familiar old members of keep running.

Chaochao, Hehe, Kaikai, Chenchen, Baoqiang, Angela, and so on.

Chaochao's eyes were filled with confusion, "Is that some leader from somewhere coming over? Otherwise, why would that guy Old Zhao be acting like such a bootlicker?!"

Hehe nodded, "Most likely!!"

Kaikai shook his head, "No way, that person looks very young, younger than all of us!"

Baoqiang: "Maybe that person is very powerful!"

When Wang Lin walked closer, he noticed them too.

Sweeping his gaze across them, Wang Lin felt a sense of nostalgia.

It really was full of memories.

At this point in time, keep running actually still had Baoqiang.

And those other old members were all still there too.

Wang Lin looked at them and even noticed they were all in their original, green, youthful state.

It was really interesting.

The production team leader saw Wang Lin looking over there and hurriedly had the whole group come over.

Then, he came to Wang Lin's side and whispered with a smile, "Boss Wang, have you taken a fancy to one of them?"

"Is it that little Tang?"

The production team leader was very savvy.

The guest stars coming this time were Guli Nazha, whom Wang Lin had brought, as well as the quirky Xie Yilin, Zhang Lanxin, and finally, Tang Yixin.

Among these people, the only one who could fit Wang Lin's aesthetic was probably Tang Yixin.

Wang Lin actually didn't have any such thoughts, although Tang Yixin's appearance did indeed fit his aesthetic.

An oval face, high cranial top, sweet-style beauty maxed out—she was indeed beautiful.

Wang Lin glanced at her and said casually, "No, but she is quite pretty."

With that one sentence, the production team leader instantly understood.

It seemed he needed to have a good chat with Tang Yixin. If they could connect with the Junlin Finance line, it would be a qualitative leap and improvement, both for him personally and for their entire variety show.

Not to mention anything else, just a tiny bit of resources or capital from Junlin Finance would be enough for them to take off instantly.

The time that followed was naturally for these people to get to know each other.

Wang Lin didn't try to steal their limelight and just stood on the side, quietly watching them chat and joke around.

Come to think of it, it was completely different from what he had seen on TV before.

Hehe was still just as funny.

Wang Lin had the deepest impression of him among all these people; after all, the halo of iPartment would not dissipate.

Hehe was also a bit confused.

He noticed that young kid kept looking at him. Having heard Chao Ge and the others analyze it earlier, this kid was likely someone from a tycoon's family.

He still didn't dare to provoke him, so Hehe quietly stood to the side.

The Wuzhen theme this time was actually quite interesting.

It was called "Finding Past-Life Lovers."

It was precisely because of this that Guli Nazha was very happy when she found out Wang Lin was coming along to play.

Midway through.

In the afternoon, Boss Ma finally arrived.

Some things that were truly important and couldn't be pushed aside, he had handled in advance.

As for the subsequent matters, he pushed aside everything he could.

Wuzhen.

This Jiangnan town, which made people reluctant to leave, naturally had its own unique scenery.

It was like a paradise; the small bridges and flowing water, the blue bricks and green tiles here, all made people feel refreshed and happy.

Boss Ma, wearing cloth shoes, stepped into this town once again. He looked at the scene being filmed ahead.

He also felt some emotion in his heart, "It really is full of vitality!!"

The Ali Group naturally had investments in Mango TV.

With layers of delegation, it was equivalent to Boss Ma being the top boss of a company.

And this production team leader was a small leader within a small subsidiary under the Ali company.

Now, this small leader suddenly saw Boss Ma arrive.

He was completely stunned!!!

However, they were currently on the filming set.

Several people carrying cameras were also running along with them, filming.

The head of the production team didn't dare to move at all; he just watched Boss Ma go up and talk with Wang Lin.

The two were chatting and laughing.

Seeing this scene, the head of the production team felt even more fortunate about his previous sycophancy, "As expected, how could a super financial tycoon, famous in the stock market, not know Boss Ma? They are all people in the same circle!!"

"If I could get to know them, it would truly be a great honor!!"

"That little Tang, must be sent to Boss Wang's accommodation!!"

Boss Ma's arrival did indeed add some interest to the keep running production team.

Boss Ma didn't act coy either and joined in the interaction with Wang Lin; of course, it was just a small segment.

The production team didn't dare to film Boss Ma like crazy; they only filmed for a few minutes.

Even just that had the production team ecstatic.

Now, the ratings for this episode would probably skyrocket.

This would just serve as an easter egg.

Just as they were having fun in the Jiangnan town, the winds and clouds in the stock market were also churning.

Following Thursday's volatile decline, Friday directly began a mode of sharp plummeting.

This drop even dragged the overall market index down with it.

Those Retail Investors who had been making money previously had finally gained some confidence during this period and started going all-in.

As a result, they encountered consecutive small black swans over these two days.

Some who were aggressive and had bad luck even ate two consecutive limit down boards.

"Damn it, I really suspect the main force is targeting me; as soon as I go all-in, they give me a crash?"

"I was wondering why the overall market index crashed these past two days; you kid actually went all-in. If they don't trap you, who do they trap?"

"Actually, the crash of the Brokerage Firms today is a logical conclusion. After all, look at how much it rose before? Are they not allowed to adjust a bit? Actually, if you only look at the dragon head CITIC Securities, there's no need to panic about this wave of adjustment; it hasn't even broken the 5-day moving average, so I think it's normal!!"

"Normal? I've eaten 2 limit down boards in pacific, damn it. That son of a bitch Old Man of Foshan is really vicious when dumping stock!!"

"The current situation is a great opportunity to shift positions into the dragon head!!"

"Shift positions? I think clearing positions is more like it. They've been hyping up the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect for so long, and now we haven't even seen a hair of it!!"

"Brothers, let's disperse, let's just treat it as a dream."

Friday closed with everything in the red, with the exception of the military industry sector which was the only bit of red.

The weekend was naturally lifeless as well.

Only Wang Lin was enjoying himself in Wuzhen, forgetting to return home.

Over these two days, Wang Lin had also gotten familiar with Chaochao, Hehe, and the others.

After all, their ages were similar, and added to that was Wang Lin's status—even Boss Ma had made a special trip to find him.

Regardless of the reason, everyone is away from home, so let's just have fun.

As for Tang Yixin, the production team didn't know what they told her, but on the weekend night, they actually let her enter Wang Lin's room.

Guli Nazha was startled when she saw her.

Upon seeing Guli Nazha, Tang Yixin felt her entire face instantly flush with shame.

She couldn't face anyone; she had actually run into his real girlfriend.

Yes, Tang Yixin still thought Guli Nazha was Wang Lin's girlfriend.

She hurriedly and anxiously explained: "I... I just..."

But the more anxious she became, the less she knew what to say, after all, her motives were not pure to begin with.

Guli Nazha chuckled: "Looking for Brother Lin, right? You can stay here tonight, I understand."

Guli Nazha was the type of person with no ulterior motives, but she also knew she would never fully possess Wang Lin.

Being one of his was enough.

And incidentally, to ensure her own future happiness.

As for what Tang Yixin wanted to do, she couldn't be bothered to ask.

Another thing was that the two of them had gotten along well playing some mini-games over the past two days.

That was enough.

Before leaving, Guli Nazha suddenly turned back and asked: "Is this your first time?"

Tang Yixin's face, which had just cooled down, flushed red again, but after a long while, she carefully nodded.

Guli Nazha chuckled: "I was too, Brother Lin is a very good person, don't worry!"

At this time, Wang Lin was still drinking with Old Ma.

The two were drinking while chatting about ByteDance Company.

Old Ma said with some emotion: "You kid, you are simply born to work in finance; even something as difficult as venture capital, you actually managed to pull it off!!"

"Not to mention ByteDance, just look at the Snow King in your Yu Province, as well as Bubble Blind Box, DJI, and so on; I've looked into these, and they are indeed quite interesting!!"

"Wang Lin, the more I look at you, the more you suit my taste!!"

Hearing him say this, Wang Lin was genuinely surprised.

You have to know, this guy Old Ma has always been very proud.

Or rather, people who have succeeded like them are all very proud.

To be praised like this by them, Wang Lin didn't know whether he should be happy or just happy.

Wang Lin smiled and said modestly: "Just a little bit of skill, if I had started ten years earlier, I would definitely have invested in you, it's just a pity that investing now doesn't make much sense."

"How much is the IPO worth?"

Hearing Wang Lin suddenly ask this, Old Ma shook his head and said: "I don't know, but it's at least over 20 billion USD!!"

He really didn't know the exact number, or rather, no one knows until before the IPO.

But when Old Ma said the number 20 billion, his eyes were shining!

Obviously, although he said this number, it was clear he was very satisfied.

Wang Lin nodded.

This number is indeed very large!!

The two chatted for a long time about many perspectives on the future.

It must be said that Old Ma's ideas collided with many things from the future he had personally experienced.

This made Wang Lin suddenly realize everything.

So that was why those things were brought about, or why they fell apart.

It really is interesting!!

And Old Ma was also shocked by Wang Lin's extensive knowledge, as he expressed unique insights into many things about the future.

This kid, it was worth coming to see him!

After the gathering ended.

Wang Lin returned to where he was staying and naturally saw Tang Yixin.

The weekend.

A piece of news stimulated the entire stock market.

"Starting from the 15th of next month, the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect will officially open and begin trading!"

Once this news came out, almost all the financial big Vs were boiling with excitement that night.

All the Stock Investors, Hot Money, and Institutions who saw this were stunned.

Those with full positions were extremely happy and went for foot massages that night.

Those with empty positions were filled with resentment and deep regret!!

Nothing else.

The two declines last Thursday and Friday, who knows how many people they washed out.

Under this message, comments instantly broke through a hundred, likes broke a thousand, and there were countless reposts.

"Too strong, the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect is finally coming!"

"Does this mean we can also go buy Hong Kong stocks in the future?"

"Great good news, super great good news!!"

"I knew the authorities wanted a bull market, otherwise why would they release such big good news after just 2 days of decline, and at this specific time node!!"

"Take off, take off, brothers, let's go full positions tomorrow!!"

"Full positions? I held on for a whole day on Friday, finally held out, waiting for you brothers to come and carry the sedan chair next Monday!!"

"Next week CITIC will definitely hit the limit up directly; if this dragon head doesn't hit the limit up, the rest are all trash!!"

"Haha, everyone rises together, I estimate many sectors will pull up, the main force will definitely not miss this opportunity!!"

Those financial big Vs were even more hyped up, coming up with invincible headlines.

【The official opening of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect marks the start of China's great bull market journey at high speed!!】

【Globalization process takes another step forward, Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect is awesome!!】

【Earth-shattering good news!! Next Monday the overall market index will surge by 3 points!】

【Can you still sleep tonight? The necessary relationship between Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and your profits!!】

【It's not a question of whether it's a bull market now, but how big of a bull market it is!!】

These messages further stimulated those Retail Investors, making them all lose their heads.

But tomorrow, Monday, is a workday!!

Many corporate slaves were both happy and miserable.

Damn it, have to go to work again!!

Some people with empty positions had already placed pre-orders for the targets they were bullish on early on.

Just do it!!

Finally.

Monday arrived.

During the bidding session, the madness of this news was already displayed.

brokerage stocks, the dragon head CITIC Securities hit the one-word board limit up.

There were also some other small Brokerage Firms that also hit the one-word board limit up.

Plus the dragon heads of certain sectors, or stocks that were heavily mis-sold last Friday.

Today, almost all of them opened high.

This bidding session lasted until 9:25!!

The overall market index actually opened high with a +1.7% gain.

Enough to see the madness of today!!

"Awesome, awesome!"

"Haha, too cool, finished work just at the bidding session; CITIC is indeed the fiercest stock among Brokerage Firms!!"

"Simply invincible!"

"Today I am the god of stocks!!"

"God of stocks? Everyone is a god of stocks today, okay??"

"Is this the stock market? Buy casually last Friday, can't buy in this Monday!!"

"Yes, this is the charm of the stock market!!"

Inside Junlin Finance.

These Traders looked at the madness of the bidding session today and couldn't help but exclaim that it was too ruthless.

In one bidding session, the asset accounts they were managing instantly increased by billions.

When those funds were scrambling for chips, it was like they were crazy.

Almost all of them were sweeping goods at the limit up, as if they were afraid of not being able to buy.

Zheng Huan looked at them and said: "Alright, stop staring, in a situation like this, you must keep a close eye on things, and while doing T, make sure not to lose the chips in your hands!!"

"When the boss comes back, we must give him a surprise!!"

Inside a certain company.

A man looked back at the corridor, then, under the cover of the green plants on his desk, quietly took out his phone to look.

He didn't know why, but last Friday, he suddenly wanted to buy CITIC Securities to bet on the weekend news.

It was this flash of inspiration that made him the most handsome guy in the market today.

Opening his phone and logging into the stock trading software, the man looked at the +10% data in his full-position account, and he was so excited he was about to take off.

"Damn, it actually opened at a one-word board limit up, that's too strong!!"

He looked back again; the boss wasn't there, so he continued to scan the market.

"The brokerage sector is up more than 5 points, I guess a whole bunch of them hit the limit up too!!"

"And the sectors that rose before are also pulling up today, beijing-tianjin-hebei integration, military industry, transportation and shipping, steel, cement, all kinds of things; damn, everyone is showing off today!!"

A voice suddenly appeared next to him: "Qiangzi, you're also trading stocks?!"

This voice startled the man, he turned his head to look at the next workstation, and Xiao Liu was craning his neck looking over at him.

"Seeing the uncontrollable smile on your face, the market must be very good today, made money?" Xiao Liu asked.

Hearing this, Qiangzi couldn't hold back anymore and chuckled: "Yeah, luck was good, caught a limit up, and it looks like it might hit the limit up tomorrow too!!"

"How about you, are you trading?"

Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I trade too, but I cleared my position last Friday; I regretted it to death when I saw the news last night, I placed orders during the evening bidding, but I don't know if they went through yet!!"

The two of them just sat there, quietly chatting about the stock market.

In the office next door.

The boss that Qiangzi had been wary of was now also sitting in front of the computer, clattering away while watching the market, occasionally buying one or two stocks, while cursing: "Damn, everyone is scrambling for chips so fiercely, I can't buy any at a low price!!"

In this situation, the little boss hadn't even filled his own position yet, so how could he have time to go patrol?

Such things.

Happening in many companies across the country, it was almost just a small microcosm.

Stock trading, this thing classified by Chinese people as legal gambling.

Was almost something that couldn't see the light of day, not wanting outsiders to know, yet it deeply attracted everyone.

They traded stocks quietly themselves, and when encountering a bull market like today's, they accidentally revealed a flaw, and as a result, upon asking, it turned out everyone around them was trading stocks.

And today.

It was an overall market index general rise, a market where everyone was a god of stocks.

It is foreseeable that the market performance in the coming days will not be bad.

The power of this news is not just this one burst today.

It represents many things, one of which is incremental capital.

The Shanghai Stock Connect will step onto the land of the A-shares in the next month or so!!
