After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future

At five in the afternoon, the Dragon and Tiger List updated one after another, with numerous sky floor stocks from the new energy sector appearing on the list.

"You're the one crashing the market, you're the one bottom fishing, still you crashing the market?"

"Idiot, are you treating the institution like a speculative fund?"

"Breaking the upper limit board, lifting the lower limit board, you've really got a knack for this."

"To be fair, they say they're adjusting positions, that's not wrong."

"Big mistake, they're an institution, not a speculative fund, how can they play like this?"

"Tianxing System stocks, whoever wants to play them in the future, feel free, I'm done messing with them."

As Zhang Jing expected, stock forums like East Money and Tonghuashun were abuzz.

The new energy index rose from over a thousand points back then to over five thousand points now, thanks in large part to the Tianxing Mixed Fund.

But if they keep playing this trick in the future, who else can compete with them in this sector?

Thus, the resistance grew increasingly intense.

However, today the market index only fell by -0.02%, it wasn't a thousand stock drop, so it remained a niche discussion.

That evening, the mixed fund updated its net value, rising by 1.12%.

The public fund with assets of 504.6 billion had a 1% rise, translating to a gain of 5.046 billion yuan.

The public fund's net value rose by 1.12%, signifying a gain of 5.65 billion yuan in the new energy sector today.

The fund investors were ecstatic, taking screenshots of their earnings to boast everywhere.

"Are fund investors human? Are stock investors not human?"

The stock investors cried out in anger and frustration, but to the fund investors, it was music to their ears.

Previously, they were the ones despised by stock investors, never making any money and serving as ammunition for the institutions.

Now, they could finally hold their heads high, proudly boasting: making the right choice is everything.

They all became loyal supporters of Lu Liang, engaging in fierce debates with stock investors in the name of 'protecting the best Liangzi in the world.'

"Seems like it's not going too badly."

Zhang Jing stroked his chin, clicking his tongue in wonder.

Considering they've brought in the Saudi Sovereign Fund, Modu Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, Su City Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and multiple state-owned institutions like State-owned Xiao Xin.

But of the 300 billion, 133.5 billion was outsourced, with personal subscriptions reaching 3.015 million.

Three million fund investors, all investors in public funds, they're making money and will naturally speak up for Lu Liang.

With the interests of three million at stake, saying they echo back might be small-minded, it should be a million echoes instead.

"When you eat someone's food, your mouth is short; with these people's support, how bad can Mr. Lu's reputation get?"

Zhang Jing suddenly smiled, leisurely tidying up his papers, locking up the office, and heading home after work.

Today was just the beginning,

In the coming days, his work would be very busy.

At the same time, Lu Liang went up to the seventeenth floor to the private equity fund.

On New Year's Day, the private equity fund updated its net value, with the third and fourth phases managing assets totaling 13.088 billion US dollars.

A month and a half later, it increased to 16.75 billion US dollars.

During this period, they didn't operate much, just routinely selling high and buying low, with the main rise coming from Tesla.

Back then, they used 2.8 billion US dollars to buy into Tesla, initially holding a 6.58% stake, though they did sell some later.

But as the market value surpassed 200 billion US dollars, they still held a 5.08% stake, worth 10.16 billion US dollars.

"In a little over a year, a rise of 338%."

Lu Liang suddenly felt a bit bland in his mouth.

Ever since buying into Tesla, he had been maneuvering tactically outside, covering firepower, playing all sorts of fancy tricks, and aside from Bitcoin, the yield was only about 370%.

If he had been buying on the dips ever since the buy-in, by now he'd have at least a 400% return.

And soon, as the market value reaches 1.2 trillion US dollars, it would multiply six times on this basis.

"What's the status of the fund withdrawals?" Lu Liang sighed helplessly, turning to ask Sun Yutao.

He could only comfort himself that even though just playing Tesla could make more money, the credit would only belong to Tesla, not him.

It's only by playing all sorts of fancy tricks outside, participating in various international affairs, and profiting from them, that his importance could be proven.

Just like with Bitcoin, if he only played Tesla, he wouldn't have the qualification to take the seat, even if forced onto the table he'd be kicked off by others.

"Tonight, the market isn't doing well, currently only 1.25 billion US dollars have been withdrawn," Sun Yutao replied.

"There's still time, slowly cash out, no rush."

The next morning, at nine fifteen, Big A began pre-market bidding. The new energy sector was still laden with gloomy clouds.

A decline of -2.52%, opening significantly low.

158 constituent stocks, generally falling 3%-5%, making those retail investors hoping to cut losses on a high opening unable to make a move.

They could only wish in their hearts for an intraday rebound, hoping for a slight rebound, for it to turn positive, so they could immediately sell off and exit.

However, it opened low and went lower throughout the day, with no selling point.

Near the close, retail investors could only grit their teeth and buy more, pinning their hopes on tomorrow.

The sector dropped -2.87%, with a capital outflow of 58.6 billion yuan.

Due to not meeting the 7% fluctuation threshold, no stock appeared on the Dragon and Tiger List by evening, leaving it unknown which bastard was short selling.

It was only at eight in the evening that the Tianxing Mixed Fund updated its net value again, the sector dropped -2.87%, but the fund only fell -0.82%.

"Why is it so little?"

"Isn't it said that when the stock market drops a little, the fund drops a lot, why is it the reverse?"

Stock investors were bewildered, their losses were painful enough, but if fund investors lost a lot, it would ease their pain somewhat.

"Damn it, clearly, Lu Liang was doing T again, buying high and selling low, minimizing today's loss."

"Is this bastard trying to ruin this market?"

"I don't get it. Why is he so active these days after keeping his position locked for so long?"

"It's short selling."

"That scumbag."

Amidst the retail investors' curses, the third day arrived in a blink, also the last trading day of the week.

After a two-day decline, the new energy index finally opened in the red today, as individual stocks seemed to have ended their pullback, heralding a counterattack.

"I just don't believe you have that many chips?"

Retail investors gritted their teeth, and so did the Northbound Capital, knowing full well Lu Liang's intentions.

Basically, he aims to lock both them and retail investors in the new energy sector, waiting to trigger a trade war and force them to support the market.

So they were betting, betting that Lu Liang would exhaust his chips before the West sounded the trade war horn.

The slight pre-market price increase today indicated that the shorts could not suppress the price anymore, with fewer and fewer chips left.

"Could it be a show of weakness to deceive?" someone suddenly said.

Lu Liang is notoriously sly, holding over 300 billion chips; he probably only used a little over a billion in two days, still holding more than 200 billion in chips.

If they rashly entered the market, Lu Liang could take the opportunity to offload and leave them stranded halfway up the mountain, making it harder to boost later on.

"If he dumps stocks, we dump stocks and see who loses more."

Soon, the foreign capital and Northbound Capital reached an agreement to rush up today and sell off a large quantity.

Their costs are very low, so even if the new energy index falls to 3000 points, there's still profit to be made.

Although Lu Liang's costs are even lower, he's in a public fund, so his capital can only be active in the RMB market and cannot flow abroad.

As long as they cash out the funds invested in the A-share market, they could entirely reposition them externally for short selling.

At that time, the roles would swap. If Lu Liang wanted to dump stocks, they would join in the dumps.

"The foreign capital and Northbound Capital have already acted, are you still not going to?"

Lu Liang squinted his eyes and looked northward, waiting for the largest force in the market to enter.

In front of that force, neither he nor the foreign capital and Northbound Capital are significant players.

Huijin, the Securities Fund, the Social Security Fund, the National Foreign Exchange, and the Major Fund are all part of the nation's force.

Even he, along with the Hong Kong Capital and Northbound Capital, knows that the United States will soon start a trade war.

By logic, they should act, cashing out early to prepare funds for the subsequent market rescue.

"Does any teacher think today is a good opportunity to bottom-fish in new energy?"

"Two days of a mindless drop; shouldn't it be about time for a rebound?"

"After all, with the new five rules implemented, new energy will definitely be the market's main line in the coming years."

Suppressed for two days, the retail investors were already jumpy, overly suspicious. The sudden red open made them suspect that the market makers were leading them on, tricking them into holding positions.

As they hesitated, the new energy index gradually regained its lost position at 5500 points.

Foreign capital and Northbound Capital gradually increased their stakes.

The best way to avoid losing their hard-won profits was to raise and sell off.

Hang the retail investors high in the sky, making them the bag holders.

Afterwards, when prices drop, to minimize losses, they'll keep replenishing their holdings, allowing the institutions to reduce theirs continuously.

While the better method is to sell during a price limit, with Lu Liang lurking nearby, they dared not forcefully pull the price to its limit.

Nearing half-past ten, the new energy index soared by 1.55%, individual stocks rose sharply, and a large number of retail investors couldn't hold back.

At eleven o'clock, half an hour before the close.

The market suddenly suffered an attack by a mysterious force, with large funds fleeing the banking, securities, and insurance sectors.

Just like two days ago, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Index began a free fall, plummeting to -1.86%, breaking below 3100 points in a blink.

A point drop in the index hit individual stocks by three points, a two-point drop hit by seven points.

The recently stabilized new energy sector crashed with the index tumble.

Lu Liang swiftly ran off with 30 billion, leaving the raised foreign Northbound Capital and retail stock chasers hanging in the sky.

In the blink of an eye, by half-past eleven close,

the market fell by -2.36%, with the entire market fully in the red, without exception.

"I'm just asking for a friend if they could apply for minors to refund on Tonghuashun?"

"Is the new energy industry going cold? Caught me in a 20-point trap in three days, such a disaster."

"Anyone know where Lu Liang lives? I want to have a chat with him, just a chat."

"To be fair, although Lu Liang has definitely run off with substantial funds, he wasn't the one leading the dump this time."

"Banks, securities, insurance - the three cornerstones of bull markets, yet also three staples of bear markets, it's clear who's dumping."

"So tired, the 'Woof Woof' team keeps dumping stocks, don't really want to play anymore."

"Did Lu Liang run off first? Did he get some tip-off?"

"Garbage market, not even dogs would play, sell right at the open."

At one in the afternoon, as the A-share market opened,

the market had shrunk nearly fivefold compared to before the Spring Festival.

Until three at the close, ending this week's trading, with the full-day transaction amounting to only 1.1 trillion.

The first day saw a high open and a low close, then a sudden drop, the second day a low open and low close, and the third day again a high open with a low close followed by a sudden drop.

In three days, the index lost 157 points, and the 41st 3000-point defense battle was about to begin. The new energy sector plummeted another 589 points, evaporating one-tenth of its five trillion market value.

However, just as the retail investors thought that the consecutive three-day drop would mark the bottom, expecting some good news over the weekend to uplift the market a bit and entice retail dip-buys.

On the distant ocean's other side, Old Te suddenly went crazy, disregarding the over two trillion-dollar trade contracts signed last year.

He held a press conference, announcing to the world a proposed bill to impose an additional 25% tariff on 34 billion US dollars worth of East Country goods.
