Chapter 524 - 234: Discovered by Dou Ying
After Jiang Baichuan returned, he sorted through some materials at hand, frowning.
What Jiang Banxia mentioned on Weibo about foreign capital pulling out seven billion was not true; in fact, the foreign capital hadn’t moved at all.
This market trend came too fast, and foreign capital didn’t even have time to react.
Plus, they were making money too; there was no reason for them to withdraw at this time.
Even if foreign capital did pull out, it would be at most two or three billion in hot money; they have nearly two trillion in A-shares, mostly long-term investments.
The data he saw showed that this money rushed in months ago, made a wave of profit, and then left immediately.
If that money wasn’t still in Port City, it would have been investigated long ago.
"How much of this seven billion is Li Yang’s?"
"Is all of it Li Yang’s?"
He couldn’t decide.
But he was already certain that at least half of the money was Li Yang’s.
"Where did this guy get so much money? Did he go outside for support? Helping outside capital exploit A-shares?"
The reason he went to talk in person was that he knew those domestic institutions had already failed, and failed thoroughly.
Others had used them to complete a round of capital harvesting.
Li Yang pushed Wanliu Capital to the forefront, and those people’s eyes were locked on Wanliu Capital, freezing billions of Wanliu Capital.
But what’s the use? Even if this time Wanliu Capital goes bankrupt and Jiang Banxia can’t get a dime, Li Yang still made a profit.
He should have earned at least over a billion, maybe even over two billion.
Offsetting these two amounts, Li Yang still makes a small profit.
But those institutions are definitely losing big!
Because... Wanliu Capital disclosed its real-time holdings, and too many retail investors followed their lead.
Retail investors can withdraw at any time, without considering the overall market trend. Once something happens, they will frantically dump their holdings.
With Jiang Banxia’s Weibo post, retail investors are bound to flee en masse when the market opens on Monday, leaving with their profits.
There aren’t many retail investors losing money; stocks have surged like crazy during this period.
That Weibo post, ostensibly complaining about injustice, was actually reminding retail investors to get out quickly.
"Li Yang, that guy is ruthless, cutting off all paths for those institutions!"
The more he thought, the more uneasy he felt, and despite it being midnight, he couldn’t resist reaching for Li Yang’s number and calling him.
The call connected quickly, and he said, "Li Yang? We met around seven this evening."
"Oh, oh, oh, it’s you! Why aren’t you resting at this late hour?"
Li Yang had already walked to the balcony.
Jiang Banxia had just fallen asleep.
Jiang Baichuan said, "I can’t sleep; there are too many things I can’t figure out. If you have time, can we chat for a bit?"
"Well... actually, I don’t have time on my side."
Jiang Baichuan quickly replied, "Just a quick chat."
He couldn’t really let Li Yang go to sleep; this matter needed resolution before daylight.
If it dragged on to Sunday or Monday, there wouldn’t be time.
"Ah... okay, ask away; I’m listening..."
Li Yang yawned.
Jiang Baichuan went straight to the point, "Suppose, just suppose... suppose there’s no funding to help Wanliu Capital; can you get Wanliu Capital out of this mess?"
"Huh? Is that all? Even if there’s no funding stepping in, I have three strategies to ensure Wanliu Capital doesn’t get into trouble."
"Would you mind telling me?"
"Not at all. Actually, it’s quite simple. The last resort is to inject my own funds into Wanliu Capital to replace the restricted holdings. Although I might lose some money because of this, thinking of bringing down Wanliu Capital is sheer fantasy! Even if they have two trillion, it wouldn’t matter!"
"Hmm, I believe that. As long as you casually put in a few billion, Wanliu Capital will be fine."
"The middle plan, well it’s even simpler. I don’t even need to use my own money; let Jiang Banxia jump out of the Wanliu Capital framework and set up a new private equity firm. With Jiang Banxia’s reputation, do you think it’s possible to raise one hundred billion? Or two hundred billion?"
"One hundred billion is doable; two hundred billion is also likely."
"Then if we sign a principal and interest guarantee contract, with a three-year lock-up and ten percent annual interest compounded?"
"Then three hundred billion is possible."
Jiang Baichuan understood.
Public funds can’t offer principal and interest guarantee financial products, but private ones can.
As long as Jiang Banxia leaves the public fund sector, he can easily raise money in the market.
Once the money is raised, investing it back into Wanliu Capital would do.
There are indeed many challenges in between, but they’re all solvable.
The only crucial thing is to ensure that in three years, the yield can cover the interest.
Jiang Baichuan had no doubts about that.
This method is indeed excellent; it doesn’t require spending money and might even end up profitable, much better than the last resort.
He asked, "What’s the best plan then?"
"Trigger a bull market!"
Jiang Baichuan was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.
Li Yang’s words were like a candor blow!
He’s reminding Jiang Baichuan that he has the power to initiate a bull market, without considering anything else.
He could only insincerely say, "Impressive! Tomorrow, I will arrange for the funds to connect with you. Wanliu Capital should stay open..."
"Okay, take an early rest."
"You young people should get proper rest; it doesn’t matter much for us older folks."
Jiang Baichuan hung up the phone.
In fact, he couldn’t sleep at all.
Li Yang’s comment about starting a bull market kept ringing in his ears.
Is Li Yang capable of doing it?
Probably not?
But why did he say it so confidently?
A bull market must not reappear; every bull market brings a massive impact on the domestic economy, especially during such a critical phase of transitioning to high-end manufacturing.
