225: Official pronouncements on a reform-driven bull market; margin financing exceeds one trillion yuan!
3000 points.
This was a level many Stock Investors had never seen before.
Unexpectedly, it was finally reached as December approached.
Late November.
The officials personally set the tone, stating that this A-share market bull market was a 'Reform Bull'!
As soon as this news broke, all Stock Investors were collectively shocked.
When had they ever heard officials say something like this?
Not to mention domestically, even Wall Street abroad was deeply shaken upon hearing this news.
These Wall Street magnates all knew that China was essentially a policy market.
With this official news setting the tone, the arrival of this A-share market bull market was almost certain.
"Damn, China really does have mysterious funds manipulating the ups and downs. Just as it's about to hit the 3000-point mark, they put on such a show?"
"Isn't that great? We've already gone all-in on brokerage stocks. For the A-share market to break 3000 points, Brokerage Firms must exert effort!!"
"I never expected that the best investment this year would be in the A-share market. Look at the recent period: Brokerage Firms, finance, steel, real estate, and various state-owned enterprises—these first-tier blue-chip stocks are all on the rise!"
"Yes, second-tier blue-chips like non-ferrous metals, coal, and cement have also begun to surge."
"It's a pity that the A-share market is too stingy, only giving us such limited access. We have to constantly buy in every day, there's no way to go all-in!!"
The Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect stipulates that the daily volume of foreign capital entering the market is limited, and the overall capital volume is also limited.
If not for these restrictions, foreign capital could probably send the overall market index soaring in a single day.
Inside Junlin Finance.
Wang Lin was chatting with Old Ma.
Lately, Old Ma had truly been having a blast.
After Ali Baba's US Stock Market listing, his personal fame reached its peak.
Wang Lin teased, "Old Ma is really doing well. He can have lunch with Beautiful Country's 'Double-Gun Obama,' serve as a business advisor for the British 'Cameron,' teach Germany's 'Merkel' how to use ZFB, and even meet with 'Old Pu Jing'!!"
Speaking of which, was Wang Lin envious?
He was truly envious; this old fellow had really taken off now.
Of course, he also knew that Old Ma did these things with a purpose: to elevate his own status, create momentum for Ali, and provide various favorable conditions for the overseas market.
These were things Wang Lin didn't need.
Old Ma also laughed heartily: "You kid, what are you envious of? You'll get there one day too."
"Isn't our A-share market bullish recently? You must have earned a lot during this period, right? I've worked hard for so many years, and I probably haven't earned as much as you have in this short time!!"
Wang Lin quickly shook his head and said, "How could that be? I just earn some hard-earned money. These days, I've only earned a mere few tens of billions, not even a hundred billion!!"
Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, Old Ma thought Wang Lin was being humble and modest.
He was about to say that young people shouldn't be so modest, but the latter part of the sentence left Old Ma speechless.
Damn.
A few tens of billions isn't a lot?
Does he really think this money is hell money?
Even if it were hell money, they wouldn't print hundreds of billions of it, right?!
"You kid!!!" Old Ma pointed at him, smiling and nodding.
"Everyone says that after Ali's listing, I became the richest man in China, but they don't know that the true richest man is someone else!"
"Earning hundreds of billions in such a short time, won't you earn hundreds of billions from this bull market?!"
"I think the top spot on China's 'Pig Slaughtering List' must be yours!"
Wang Lin chuckled, "Sorry, actually my personal money has already reached over a hundred billion!"
Yes.
Over a hundred billion.
This was the result Wang Lin got after idly calculating with the finance department a while ago.
In fact, Wang Lin had a rough idea of the data in his mind.
His capital was primarily allocated in a few places: the stock market, venture capital, plus several billion in properties across the country, and some gold.
All these assets were capable of generating profit.
Of course, investing in gold right now was actually a loss.
But Wang Lin hadn't bought much, only a few hundred catties.
The current price of gold was not like in later generations, where it would easily reach 900 or even break 1000.
Currently, the market price was just over 200, so these few hundred catties were truly cheap.
It didn't take up much of his capital at all.
Old Ma was also deeply shocked after hearing this: "You kid, you really pulled off something big without a sound!"
"How about it? With your performance this year, you're definitely going to be on the 'Pig Slaughtering List.' Are you ready to be known by everyone?"
Indeed, he was about to be known by everyone.
He had just graduated from university and founded Junlin Finance, a super financial institution controlling hundreds of billions in assets.
Now, after more than a year of planning and operations, Junlin Finance has become the second fund company after Tianhong Fund.
Though it's called second, there's actually not much difference from first.
Because the number one Tianhong Fund is backed by Old Ma's ZFB, its pool basically consists of Balance Treasure's holding users.
According to Old Ma, there are now 603 billion in assets in the pool.
How could he compare?
Wang Lin already felt his company was constantly expanding.
It had reached a scale of over 460 billion, and even local leaders and high-ranking officials from the CSRC and the banking regulatory commission had spoken with him.
The general idea was that they hoped he could operate the ups and downs a bit more gently, and not always go all-in on buying and selling.
Such actions caused too much damage to the market.
Wang Lin naturally nodded in agreement.
Now that the market had entered a bull run, his strategic layout was basically complete.
Wang Lin has already completed his layout for future themes such as internet finance.
So, for the foreseeable future, his operations would not undergo significant changes.
Wang Lin smiled and shook his head, "To be honest, I'm not ready yet. I never imagined I could achieve something this big. It just feels like the money in the stock market is just sitting there, waiting for me to come and take it."
Old Ma burst into laughter upon hearing this.
He increasingly felt that he and Wang Lin were the same type of people.
Such seemingly casual boasts, they themselves didn't actually feel that way.
Old Ma said he didn't like money because, from his position, he truly didn't like money.
Wang Lin was the same, but he felt this way because he had the system.
"So, what do you say? Any profitable projects lately?" Wang Lin asked.
Hearing the future richest man in China ask him this, Old Ma was momentarily speechless, looking at him helplessly: "Alright, Wang Lin, stop earning. You've earned so much already and you're still so diligent, you'll make everyone else feel very unconfident!!"
Wang Lin spread his hands: "I'm helpless too. I can't just stay here playing games all day, can I? Or mess around with minor celebrities? It's not interesting."
"I think there's a saying that's very true: 'When poor, one cultivates oneself; now that I'm prosperous, I naturally want to benefit the world!'"
Old Ma asked, "Then what does that have to do with your desire for profitable projects?"
Wang Lin chuckled, "I just said it casually."
In the stock market, countless funds frantically bought and sold, fighting on the front lines of the market.
Every surge and crash tugged at the hearts of countless Stock Investors.
The same was true for the traders in Junlin Finance's various Trading Rooms.
Within Ali Baba, countless employees are also spread across the globe, striving for the company's affairs and for their own advancement within the company.
Yet, these two bosses were here chatting aimlessly.
They both thoroughly enjoyed such moments.
To be honest, once they reached their status, it was already difficult to find confidantes to casually chat with about idle topics.
Wang Lin himself had experienced the information explosion of later generations, plus his net worth was absolutely incomprehensible, so he naturally had no particular emotions towards Old Ma.
Just think of him as an English teacher, an Old Ma with a crooked face, and that's fine!
Old Ma, on the other hand, was like this with everyone.
The two hit it off, which led to today's conversation.
"Alright, I should go! It's always interesting chatting with you, kid!"
"Next time you have time, come find me abroad. I'll take you to my park to play, and my winery, take you to taste fine wine, and my yacht!!"
Old Ma invited with a smile.
Wang Lin, however, looked disdainful: "Didn't you say you didn't like money? Didn't you say you wanted to be an English teacher? Which English teacher is as extravagant as you?!"
Old Ma laughed heartily, "You kid, now you're talking about me?! I'm not arguing with you anymore, I'm leaving."
...Watching Old Ma leave, Wang Lin also shook his head.
It's rare to find someone to chat with on the same wavelength now.
Although his dorm mates didn't say anything, when he occasionally went to see them during this time, he could already feel a hint of estrangement.
This estrangement would deepen as his social status rose and as they spent more time in society.
But fortunately, before that, Wang Lin knew he could still attend one of his dorm mate's wedding as a best man.
That was enough.
His thoughts lingered for a long time.
Finally, he exhaled deeply and refocused his gaze on the stock market.
After the official final pronouncement on this Reform Bull market, it was destined that the overall market index would not fall.
3000 points were easily broken on December 7th!
On this day, countless Stock Investors were ecstatic.
"3000 points broken!!"
"That's awesome! After so many days of dragging, it finally broke through 3000 points!!"
"After many years, the overall market index once again stepped onto 3000 points!"
"I can't take it anymore! I had 60,000 yuan before, and in these few months, I've already earned 170,000. If I could open a margin trading account, wouldn't I have 300,000 by now? I'm going to borrow money from outside the market to open a margin account. If I miss this great bull market, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!!"
"CITIC Securities surged again today, this Brokerage Firm is insane!!"
"Seeing you all make money, why do I feel like I've been having bad luck lately? Whatever I buy doesn't make money. It feels like the index went up, but I didn't."
"Right, me too!"
This is the A-share market; even if the index has surged to 3000 points,
many Stock Investors who like to go all-in on a single stock, if they pick the wrong one, are destined to only gain from the index but not make money, just enjoying the show in vain.
Wang Lin glanced at the recent trend of Brokerage Firms; the third wave of gains was already on its way.
Since he bought brokerage stocks, there have been three waves.
The volume of funds in his hands has doubled again and again, and the key point is that he also reduced his holdings by more than 60 billion yuan.
These more than 60 billion yuan are pure profit.
The remaining funds are also letting profits run.
.
This day.
Wang Lin suddenly received a call from Zhou Gang.
Looking at the caller ID, Wang Lin had a feeling that this guy's wedding was probably approaching.
Indeed.
As soon as he picked up, he heard a voice from the other end: "Brother Lin, I'm getting married in 7 days. The date is set. Brother Lin, do you have time?"
Wang Lin could hear the restraint in Zhou Gang's tone.
Yes.
In these past few months, Junlin Finance has expanded too aggressively; Finance University could no longer satisfy them.
Wang Lin simply waved his hand, directly relocating the entire company to the Big Corn Building. After fiercely renting several floors, it finally met their daily office needs.
Of course, the company's own building also needed to start construction.
Otherwise, a company that controls hundreds of billions of yuan in funds without its own building...
Isn't that a joke?
There was no other way; the company developed too quickly, and its foundation was unstable.
All of this requires time to digest.
And for the large order of the Junlin Building, those state-owned construction enterprises with connections in Zheng County have been fiercely competing, breaking their heads.
Similarly, precisely because Junlin Finance developed too quickly,
they hadn't had much contact for several months, which led to Zhou Gang's current awkwardness.
At this time, they were no longer in school, no longer eating and living together every day, so feelings would naturally fade.
Not to mention the disparity in their statuses.
Zhou Gang was not that close to Wang Lin to begin with; Sun Haiyang was the one with the best relationship with Wang Lin in the dorm.
Not being that close doesn't mean their relationship was bad, but Zhou Gang was busy playing with his girlfriend every day, so he naturally chatted less with his roommates.
However, none of these were actually a big deal.
As long as the roommates gathered again, had a meal, drank some wine, played mahjong for a while, or battled a few rounds in the Canyon.
The familiar feeling would all return.
These images flashed through Wang Lin's mind, and then he smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Didn't we already agree that I would definitely be there to support you when you get married?"
"I'm free anytime!"
"The wedding cars, the emcee, the singers, and all those other things we talked about before going back to school last time, I haven't forgotten any of them. Just wait and see!"
Zhou Gang listened to Wang Lin's words, and his girlfriend, who was beside him, also listened in.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
They hadn't dared to contact Wang Lin, but now that the matter was at hand, they had to speak up.
Fortunately, Wang Lin hadn't forgotten about it.
Zhou Gang smiled and said, "Then I'll be waiting for you all to come over. Remember to come early so we can have a good time!"
Wang Lin nodded and said, "No problem!"
After hanging up the phone.
Wang Lin made another call, this time to Sun Chao, the head of the company's marketing department: "Chaozi? My roommate is getting married in 7 days. Arrange a line of wedding cars for me those few days. Make it grand, you know!"
"Also, help me find an emcee and some singers for the wedding!"
Nowadays, Wang Lin no longer needed to personally handle these things.
He just needed to say the word, and his subordinates would naturally take care of it for him.
This was also his roommate's first marriage, and he felt it was fresh, which was why he was so busy with it.
Otherwise, a dignified billionaire wouldn't waste his time on such a small matter.
Sun Chao, now backed by Junlin Finance, had long become one of the best in the industry.
It should be noted that Junlin Finance now controls hundreds of billions of yuan in funds, and its influence in the A-share market is absolute.
Sun Chao was also the head of the marketing department, and he even owned one-thousandth of the company's shares.
In front of Wang Lin, he could be called Chaozi, and no one would object.
But outside this door, outside Junlin Finance, he was known as President Chao!
As soon as Sun Chao heard it was the boss's roommate's wedding, he immediately elevated the matter to the highest level.
He knew that the boss had only recently graduated, and at this time, his friendship with his roommates would definitely not have faded.
This matter must be handled beautifully!
Sun Chao immediately promised, "Boss, don't worry, this matter is definitely stable!"
...5 days later.
Inside a luxurious hotel in a certain prefecture-level city.
The owner personally oversaw the operations, urging managers and waiters to busy themselves.
The owner sat there and said, "I don't care about other places, but today, in the Heaven-Tier Hall, you must clean it spotlessly for me. From top to bottom, inside and out, absolutely everything must be done properly!"
"If the distinguished guest is not satisfied this time, then all of you can get the hell home!"
The manager accompanied the owner, fawning repeatedly, saying, "Boss, please rest assured, I understand the importance of the matter. I will personally supervise here, and I will check every detail. If there are any mistakes this time, I will accept the penalty!"
The owner snorted coldly: "Accept the penalty? Old Liu, you've been with me for 10 years, but you understand better than I do how distinguished this guest is. If there's really a mistake, don't blame our ten years of friendship; you'll still be out!"
Old Liu naturally understood the owner's attitude, because when he thought of that person, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"I understand, boss, I guarantee the task will be completed!"
Listening to these words, the owner slowly walked towards his office.
He still had to ponder how he could make a good impression on that big shot on the day, and also promote his own store, or perhaps, open up a new business channel for himself?
After watching the owner leave, the waiters also breathed a sigh of relief. One who had a good relationship with the manager leaned over and asked, "Manager Liu, what kind of guest is the boss receiving? I remember there's also a wedding banquet in the Heaven-Tier Hall in a few days, right? Is it really necessary to be so strict?"
Manager Liu kicked him and jokingly cursed, "You brat, hurry up and get to work!"
After speaking, he looked left and right again and said, "The one getting married this time isn't a significant figure, but a super big shot will be coming. That person's net worth is probably ten thousand times higher than our boss's!"
Ten thousand times!?
The waiter was a bit dumbfounded.
The owner of this luxury hotel doesn't just own this one hotel; it's said that he also has chain hotels in other cities, with a net worth of tens of millions, he's a super big shot!
In his world, such a big shot is already a super life winner!
But who could be ten thousand times stronger than such an owner?
Could it be Ali Baba, the richest man?
However, Manager Liu didn't tell him who that person was, only told him to go and work hard.
Manager Liu looked at the bustling waiters and then up at the closed door of the office upstairs. He also pondered whether he could have an opportunity to connect with that big shot.
Or rather, he didn't even need to connect; as long as the other party had an impression of him, or he could hear some mysterious news about the A-share market from the other party, that would be enough.
During this period, various news in the A-share market, such as interest rate cuts, Reform Bulls, and breaking through 3000 points,
he also understood.
Thinking this, he quietly opened his holdings account.
And indeed, today was another day of red.
"This overall market index is really powerful!"
He glanced at CITIC Securities, which was still up more than 6 points today, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It's too fierce. It's said that Brother Lin hasn't left this stock yet. How many times is he going to profit? It's a pity I couldn't hold on and was shaken out midway! Now I don't dare to buy in again."
"But other stocks are also very impressive, but I always don't dare to hold them for long."
"I still need to hear Brother Lin talk a bit before my heart can be at ease."
He then opened the Junlin All-Powerful Mixed Stock Fund Phase 2 released by Junlin Finance.
This fund has already increased several times in value; it's terrifying.
Its chief trader is Brother Lin!
"What a pity, bad luck, couldn't get this fund."
.
At Zhou Gang's home.
In the past few days, Wang Lin, Sun Haiyang, and Li Xiaohui had all arrived at his house in advance.
Leng Nuannuan also came with Wang Lin.
It seemed that in such gatherings, Li Yuanyuan would deliberately avoid them.
It wasn't that she didn't want to come, but Leng Nuannuan's identity made it impossible for her to compete.
"Not bad, Gangzi, your home decoration is pretty good. Not to mention great wealth, but definitely content with a little wealth!" Li Xiaohui said.
Zhou Gang chuckled, "It's alright. I recently redecorated the house for the wedding, and I have to thank Brother Lin for helping me save so much money."
Wang Lin waved his hand: "You know, it was just a small effort on my part. I'm leaving these two days to you!"
Sun Haiyang, on the other hand, was not at all reserved. After seeing Zhou Gang's home, he urged, "Let's get this party started! Drinking and cards?"
"Celebrating our Brother Gang's last few days of bachelorhood!"
Wang Lin also smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's been a long time since we played together!"
Zhou Gang: "Then let's play! Let's drink until we drop!"
