256: The aftermath! Wang Linxin's new challenge and the towering waves!

Inside Finance University.

A banner had been prominently hung.

"Warmly Celebrating Our Outstanding Graduate for Becoming chinas richest man!"

This one banner alone was worth countless promotions!

Not to mention, from now on, if you just say you're a student of Finance University, people will immediately know you're from the same school as chinas richest man, right?

Even if they don't know, this can still be a topic of conversation.

Capital for showing off.

Not to mention those who were in the same graduating class, or even the same department, the same class as Wang Lin.

Or, the same dorm room!

Sun Haiyang, Li Xiaohui, and Zhou Gang were the closest to Wang Lin among them.

The most recent time the few of them appeared together was probably at Zhou Gang's wedding.

At that time, it didn't cause much of a stir because Wang Lin was still very low-key, and his fame was only known to the top tier of financial magnates.

Although doxxing existed in this era, it wasn't as rampant as it would become in the future with TikTok!

If you search for something, you can usually find results.

Even if you can't find it, post it on TikTok, and after a while, the omnipotent netizens will help him find the answer!

On such a peaceful day today.

The release of the Forbes list was indeed a peaceful day for ordinary people.

Because nothing would affect their lives.

The asset changes of top magnates had nothing to do with them either.

After Zhou Gang married his college girlfriend of four years, their lives didn't change much.

They just went to work normally, step by step, and are now planning to have a child.

But the release of today's Forbes list, coupled with the banner at their alma mater, and the frantic chatting and @mentions in the graduating class group.

Made Zhou Gang realize that even something like the Forbes list could now be related to them.

He glanced at the group chat; everyone was excitedly chatting.

"Wang Lin is amazing, he actually soared to become chinas richest man!"

"With a net worth of over 300 billion, even if he does nothing for the next few years, no one will surpass him!"

"My heart aches for Old Ma, he got blown out!"

"My friends all know that our graduating class produced a phenomenal person this year, Wang Lin has really brought us honor!"

"Where are Haiyang, Xiao Hui, and Gangzi? Why aren't they chatting!"

"Damn it, where do I have time to chat? I'm a pure workhorse, currently at work, secretly peeking at my phone!" This was Sun Haiyang complaining.

Only after truly starting work recently did he realize how incredibly difficult work actually is.

Making money is too hard.

But why is it so easy for Brother Lin to make money?

Sun Haiyang sometimes wonders if he should just give up and comfortably cling to Brother Lin's coattails?

Li Xiaohui was the same.

After graduation, whose ambition wasn't sky-high, determined to find a good job!

But in the end, only Zhou Gang settled down and found a decent job.

Li Xiaohui also popped up: "I'm truly happy for Brother Lin!"

Zhou Gang, seeing these chat messages, was also deeply happy for Wang Lin.

Only those in their dorm knew how difficult Wang Lin's previous years had been.

But only they knew how legendary and unbelievable Wang Lin had been in the past two years!

After he got involved in the stock market, it was as if he had become a different person.

The stock market was his ATM!

Zhou Gang got lost in his thoughts, so much so that he didn't even realize when his boss walked up to him.

"Gangzi, busy?" The boss had a smile on his face, but his eyes occasionally darted to Zhou Gang's computer desktop.

On it, the 2011 Finance Department group chat was still open.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Gang instantly snapped back to reality, and seeing it was his boss, his hand reflexively pressed Ctrl+Alt+E, minimizing the chat window instantly.

The boss didn't mind, which further confirmed what he already knew.

Zhou Gang was definitely on the same board as Wang Lin.

He forced an even brighter smile and said, "I heard you and Wang Lin were classmates, and even dormmates for all four years of university?"

Zhou Gang understood what his boss meant, and he nodded, saying, "Yes, he was even my witness at my wedding."

Hearing this, the boss's smile grew even wider.

"Good, why didn't you say you had this connection earlier?!"

The boss pulled Zhou Gang towards his office: "Come on, come on, let's go to my office, have some tea, and chat!"

The same thing.

Happened around Wang Lin's circle of friends.

Principal Wang's office at Finance University.

Principal Wang let out a joyful laugh after seeing the news.

"Good kid, he really became the richest man! Now, I can truly hold my head high. Our school producing chinas richest man is absolutely the biggest advertisement for our finance department!"

"Not to mention this kid is truly nostalgic. Over 300 billion! As long as we treat him well, he will definitely help the school even more!"

"I said it before, when a real talent emerges from the school, they must be properly nurtured. That startup room back then was given to the right person!"

"My Private Equity Fund investment was also correct!"

"Oh dear, why is the leadership meeting for various universities in Zheng County still a few days away? I'm practically dying waiting!"

In the village.

It was even more so.

The moment the news broke today.

Wang Lins paternal uncle and Wang Lins paternal aunt immediately became the most eye-catching figures in the village.

At the factory.

Director Sun already knew that Wang Lin was very capable and rich, with a huge presence in the financial industry.

But after seeing today's Forbes list, he realized his thoughts were still too narrow.

He even thought that a net worth of tens of billions for Wang Lin would be pretty good.

If he treated his nephew well, then if his company ever encountered any disaster or couldn't make ends meet,

He could also ask him for help or something.

But he never expected his own perspective to be too small.

He directly soared to become chinas richest man, with a net worth of over 300 billion, which was beyond his imagination.

Even a fraction of a fraction of Wang Lin's net worth was incomparable to his.

"Good heavens, our village really produced a giant dragon!" Director Sun exclaimed with emotion.

At the same time, he quickly walked out of his office and began to look for Wang Lins paternal uncle.

Meanwhile, Wang Lins paternal uncle was already surrounded by people.

"Is your nephew really chinas richest man, not just a namesake?"

"What namesake? I heard a long time ago that Wang Lin opened a company called Junlin Finance, there won't be a second one in this world! It must be him!"

"chinas richest man, over 300 billion, how much money is that!"

"Our village really produced a true dragon!"

"I heard the mayor even came specifically to see him during the New Year."

"Then Jian Shan must be very comfortable, your nephew is successful!"

"No wonder Jian Shan's house is piled high with good cigarettes and good wine!"

Just as they were talking, Director Sun also walked over with a stern face.

The workshop director next to him instantly understood what was meant, looked around, and roared, "What are you all doing gathered here? Not working?"

With one sentence, the employees immediately fell silent and scattered.

At this moment, Director Sun walked up to Wang Lins paternal uncle and said with a smile, "Jian Shan, your nephew is in the newspaper, isn't he? I just saw it too, truly amazing, the richest man in the country, this really brings honor to our village!"

"Come on, come on, let's go to my office for tea!"

Wang Lins paternal uncle was thus warmly invited by Director Sun... The ripples caused by this event continued.

However, in the stock market, after Wang Lin saw a system notification, he had been pondering these past two days.

He had now become chinas richest man.

It was no longer interesting to just invest in companies that were destined to grow, because there was no sense of anticipation.

Everyone knew how far those companies would grow in the future, so what was the point of playing?

To play the 'nurturing' game, there must be uncertainty about the future.

In this great bull market, he had basically completed his layout.

For subsequent matters, he just needed to observe the continuous changes in the stock market and the continuous doubling of his funds.

Thinking this way, it seemed quite boring.

It was time to find something to do.

"Juntu Automobile, a growth enterprise market listed company, holds solid-state battery technology patents, its equity is very dispersed, and it is currently facing a cash flow crisis. foreign capital is eyeing it greedily, aggressively acquiring shares, and it could be delisted or acquired at any time."

This system notification made Wang Lin's eyes light up.

He quickly opened the software to check the specific situation of this company.

This was a domestic second-tier automobile brand, the only noteworthy thing being its solid-state battery technology patent.

But now was not the boom period for new energy vehicles, so this sole highlight was useless at this time.

Because not many people recognized its value.

Currently, it was still the era of gasoline cars!

Coupled with foreign capital quietly accumulating shares, wanting to acquire it at a low price, or simply obtain the patent technology and resell it overseas.

As for the company itself, it could simply declare bankruptcy.

Even most domestic Institutions viewed this company as doomed.

But its founder refused to accept fate and now wanted to introduce state-backed automobile companies to counter foreign capital, both to protect itself and to seek new life.

If there were no foreign capital involvement, in this current bull market, this would definitely be an excellent point for speculation.

But unfortunately, Juntu Automobile, which was targeted by this foreign capital, had a very entangled trend every day.

The bulls and bears were clashing fiercely.

It would occasionally hit the lower limit, who could stand that?

Similarly, after today, more than one party had their eyes on Juntu Automobile's patent.

Wang Lin learned from the system's description how incredible this company's solid-state battery patent technology was.

It was actually more than 25% higher than other companies' technical levels.

This was simply invincible!

Wang Lin knew how outrageous the future new energy vehicle industry would be.

This technology, in the future, would be the ultimate trump card!

"There are indeed many capable people among the populace!"

Wang Lin couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this.

At the same time.

He also firmly decided to acquire this company.

After all, he had prepared so much.

But there isn't a single industrial company.

How could this be considered his greatest protection?

As is well known, being too big to fail is the ultimate goal pursued by all entrepreneurs.

When a company grows to a certain extent, it cannot go bankrupt.

And if he could acquire such a company, wouldn't that add another layer to his golden body?

What if this company, by some chance, also led a trend?

Such an industrial entity could be a major taxpayer, creating countless jobs!

Speaking of new energy, Tesla automatically popped into Wang Lin's mind.

Why hasn't he heard any rumors about this undisputed leader in the future new energy vehicle industry?

If it weren't for today's system prompt, Wang Lin wouldn't have thought of it!

After typing in 'Tesla,' Wang Lin saw its current stock price: $15.4.

At this price, Wang Lin could only sigh, "It's so good!"

Who could have imagined that the new energy vehicle that would dominate the world in the future currently has a stock price of only a dozen US dollars?

After reviewing a round of reports, Wang Lin roughly understood why its current value was so low.

It was nothing more than the delayed delivery of the Model X and the drop in oil prices.

Delayed delivery indicates that there must be some hidden problems within the company.

The drop in oil prices is even more straightforward: it means there's no guarantee of profitability for new energy.

If oil is cheap, who would buy your electric car?

But in Wang Lin's memory, the highest stock price for this Tesla thing should have been around $500, right?

This is a genuine super-bull stock, over 30 times its current value!

Even calculated over 10 years, that's an average of 3 times a year.

Damn.

Buy!

In the future, whether it's the domestic new energy company he plans to control or the foreign Tesla, he must hold shares!

An excellent venture capitalist casts a wide net!

Betting on both sides is the most optimal strategy!

He'll profit no matter who wins!

Thinking of this, Wang Lin immediately sent a message to Zheng Huan: "For US Stock Market, buy about 10% of Tesla's shares, in batches, so as not to cause a stir!"

Inside the trading room.

Zheng Huan was operating in the current A-share market when he suddenly heard that special notification sound.

He was startled and quickly went to check.

Upon seeing it, Zheng Huan no longer cared about the A-share market.

"You guys, keep an eye on the market trends; I'm going to look at something else!"

After instructing the others, Zheng Huan began to look into Tesla.

A company that the boss specifically asks him to investigate must be extraordinary!

But no matter how much he looked and searched, he couldn't find anything special about this company.

Zheng Huan could only shake his head in the end: "Indeed, if I could figure it out, then I'd be the richest man in the world!"

"Forget it, just focus on the work!"

From that day on, Zheng Huan and his team began to accumulate Tesla shares from the market every day.

After entrusting this matter to Zheng Huan, Wang Lin no longer paid attention to it.

It was just about accumulating shares; if he messed this up, then he wouldn't get his year-end bonus.

Wang Lin continued to look at Juntu Automobile.

Compared to the future profitability of Tesla, this company was currently more appealing to Wang Lin.

But before the acquisition, it was important to thoroughly understand every aspect of this company, as sharpening the axe doesn't delay chopping wood.

For instance, why has its market value, currently only a little over 8 billion, become so low?

Are there many hidden debts, how many chips have foreign capital already acquired, and what should he do next?

Wang Lin clarified these matters in just one weekend.

Because these things were basically out in the open.

"The capital chain is broken, there are no other special factors, and the hidden debt is only about 1 billion in overdue supply chain payments. As for foreign capital, there is only..."

Wang Lin flipped through the file, and all his questions were answered.

Next Monday, let's give the main forces of Juntu Automobile a surprise!

...One day in late March.

Monday.

As soon as the market opened, Juntu Automobile in the automotive sector showed an unusual scene.

Although it opened slightly lower, it was frantically bought up by large orders after the opening.

It surged all the way up by more than 4 percentage points!

With a fluctuation range of about 6 percentage points.

This magnitude was already quite impressive for this stock.

This intraday anomaly also attracted the attention of the main force.

This main force was neither the founder of Juntu Automobile nor the foreign capital that wanted to acquire it.

It was a group of Hot Money acting as market makers.

After seeing today's market, one of the Hot Money sneered, "Is there more capital seeing a bull market and wanting to pull up the stock? Fine, let's pull it up together, and then dump it directly when it hits the limit!"

Another Hot Money also smiled and said, "Let's see if this 'river-crossing dragon' has the strength to withstand our selling pressure. If not, we'll smash it until it turns red, and then slowly accumulate shares again!"

They had been playing this game for more than a day or two.

It wasn't that they didn't want to push it higher; it was because this stock genuinely had no good news, only bad news.

Push it higher?

With what?

They had tried to push it up before, at the cost of losing several million.

Since then, they had been 'fishing' in this stock.

Catch as many as they could.

Coupled with the significant daily fluctuations of this stock, they could make a lot of money by day trading.

They really got into this game!

So, they neither wanted this stock to rise too sharply nor fall too sharply; they preferred it to fluctuate, which was perfect!

Everyone has their preferred trading style, and they had developed a habit of day trading with this stock!

At this point, they even helped the other party to push it up a bit.

Creating the illusion that everyone was scrambling to buy shares.

Sure enough.

In the Stock Bar, seeing Juntu Automobile surge so quickly in such a short time, some people couldn't sit still.

"Holy crap, this stock is so amazing?"

"It looks like it's going to hit the limit today, it's rising too fiercely, a complete volume surge!"

"I'm comfortable today; I bought it at the auction, but the only regret is that I didn't buy enough!"

"I'll wait for it to pull back a bit, then I'm going all in. This stock looks like it has built a good platform and is just waiting for the main upward wave to start!"

"Go, go, go! Although the automotive sector isn't as hot as the brokerage sector, it's still good, it can rise!"

"I bought 100,000 yuan worth, hoping it hits the limit today!"

"It's already over 7 percentage points, looks like it'll hit the limit soon!"

"A great start to the week on this Monday, truly wonderful!"

"It's at 9 percentage points, what are you brothers who haven't bought yet waiting for?"

Retail Investors, in wave after wave of this surge, had already started buying continuously.

Meanwhile, the experienced Stock Investor sneered, "Buy? The limit is the selling point. You can check the history of this stock; those damn market makers specifically dump shares at the limit!"

"Those who bought low can wait a bit; maybe there'll be another surge tomorrow, and then you can sell off today's T-shares!"

"But if you bought at the limit today, just wait to be trapped!"

This person's words did not cause much of a stir.

Because everyone was currently staring at the market, wanting to see it hit the upper limit.

Inside Junlin Finance.

Wang Lin was also observing the market changes. The next moment, he smiled and said, "Hit the limit. Let's seal it with 60 million first; don't scare the market makers away all at once!"

60 million could absorb over 20 million at the limit and still have 40 million as a buy order to seal the limit.

Not too much, not too little, just right.

The next second.

A volume bar of over 60 million shot up!

[short-term spirit: Juntu Automobile hits the daily upper limit!]

It hit the daily upper limit!

And a few seconds later, Wang Lin had someone throw in another 100 million in buy orders, in batches.

Creating the illusion that other Hot Money were also attracted to seal the limit together.

This illusion was most attractive to those market makers who did day trading.

When the funds at the limit were only over 40 million, they were still a bit hesitant, because such a limit, if smashed, would create a hole.

Let's wait and see, maybe other Hot Money will be attracted?

And sure enough, that's what happened.

A 160 million buy order to seal the limit, now that's something!

The leading market maker sneered cruelly, "You all think it's a bull market, and you all want to come in and grab money, right? Well, today I'll teach you a lesson and let you know that some stocks' limits cannot be pulled!"

"What about a 160 million buy order to seal the limit? Today, you'll become my day trading tool!"

After saying that, the next moment, several sell orders worth tens of millions appeared.

In 10 seconds, a total of 190 million worth of orders were dumped.

In the middle, Wang Lin also added 40 million in orders, only then 'barely' sealing the market.

Seeing this scene, the leading market maker raised an eyebrow: "Interesting, it seems like a 'river-crossing dragon' with some strength!"

And the scene today, where Juntu Automobile hit the limit only to be immediately smashed, made some Stock Investors who bought at the limit instantly tremble.

"Damn, it really crashed?"

"Bulls, hold on! You're not just coming to pull up the market with only one or two hundred million, are you?!"

"Damn it, I bought at the limit today. When there was over 100 million in buy orders to seal it, I thought I could steadily get tomorrow's premium! Who knew it would crash in just a few minutes."

"So tragic, a bull market really has the most of these kinds of stocks! Hope it can at least close with a weak limit!"

"I just checked the transactions; it seems it really was smashed by the old market maker. I feel bad for the big shot who pulled it up. I wonder how many more chips they have to pull it up. Hope it doesn't collapse!"

"Damn it, quickly close the software, I can't bear to look anymore, the market has already broken!"

The comments below the Stock Investor who had previously predicted that the limit would be smashed today also started to increase.

"What should I do, brother?"

"Can it really be pulled up tomorrow?"

"It really crashed!"

"It really crashed!"
