Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 157: People's Restlessness
On Saturday, April 18, although the stock market was closed, reports and discussions about the magical car were still everywhere.
In particular, the news that the market value of the magic car exceeded one trillion yuan was widely reported on the entire network, attracting a lot of attention. This news also successfully broke the circle. Even people who don’t understand the stock market can hear the story about the magic car.
The frenzy in the stock market spread outward madly during the weekends, attracting hot money from the market to flow into the stock market.
The entire stock market is in a bullish mood, riding on the leading company CRRC's surge, as if there is a big hand from the other side of the ocean controlling everything.
As for the game behind this epic market in 2015, Zhou Dongsheng only learned a little about it after the passage of time and through sporadic popular science and discussions on the Internet.
Just like the battle to defend Hong Kong’s financial sector back then, once the general public knows about it, it will become a small matter that everyone can know.
Even if Zhou Dongsheng knew about the historic events happening right now, he could not see or touch them and could only try to fish in troubled waters.
After all, with this level of game and competition, even Principal Wang would not be able to get away with it, and even if Yida was brought in, it would probably be difficult.
At this time, Zhou Dongsheng and his group were leisurely drinking morning tea in a teahouse. It was called morning tea, but it could also be breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Principal Wang is a very busy man, but this week is the finale of the show "Hello Female Anchor", so he came here specially to stand guard for the last time.
As a live talent show, it relies on a fast-paced live broadcast platform, so the progress is naturally fast, clean and neat.
There are neither any sensational stories nor any tearful contestants, but with this style, the show has accumulated a lot of word-of-mouth among the audience.
After all, the audience of live streaming platforms is young, and these young people are already tired of the tricks of sensationalism and sublimation of themes in traditional programs.
I'm just here to see the girls, don't bother me with that nonsense!
Although Zhou Dongsheng started from the perspective of his own preferences, he accidentally catered to the needs of the audience and made this program a hit on the live broadcast platform.
After all, to a certain extent, Zhou Dongsheng's preferences are also highly consistent with the preferences of the general public after being tempered by big data in the future live broadcast and short video era.
"I came here to finish filming the show 'Hello Female Anchor' this time, and it's almost time for my live streaming platform to go into internal testing." Principal Wang said as he casually took a bite of the shrimp dumpling.
"The progress is quite fast. It's been less than half a year since my last birthday." Zhou Dongsheng was leisurely making tea. He was using the tea that Principal Wang brought, which was said to be from his grandfather.
Regardless of whether it is expensive or not, it really tastes great.
"We just solicited investment on our birthday, but we have actually been preparing for a while. The progress within half a year is barely acceptable. If we don't hurry up and launch it, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep up with the speed of industry development."
Although he said so, judging from Principal Wang's confident expression, there was no sense of urgency at all.
After all, in Principal Wang's view, entering the live broadcast industry is completely a matter of control, whether it is capital, traffic, or the e-sports section that platforms are currently competing for.
Even among those popular game anchors, many have a good relationship with Principal Wang. In this respect, Principal Wang is the user of the "Face Fruit" ability.
Not only Principal Wang thinks so, many people in the industry also think so, otherwise the major platforms would not be so cautious about facing a formidable enemy. In their view, Principal Wang is the man who holds the "Dragon Slaying Sword" at the beginning.
However, in the future, due to version changes, this Dragon Slaying Sword will be nerfed again and again...
But at least for now, it's still quite bluffing.
"With Principal Wang here, the Panda platform will definitely have a bright future once it goes online. When it comes to business, overtaking others is the most fulfilling thing." Zhou Dongsheng casually praised Principal Wang.
"Since you have such a bright future, Dongsheng, you really don't want to consider investing? You can't say you are short of money now, right?" Principal Wang brought up the old matter again.
"Where do I have money? It's all invested in the stock market . I can't exchange my shares in Little People Media with you, right?" Zhou Dongsheng said casually, and suddenly his expression froze, as if this was also a good idea.
Although the Panda platform declined in the later period, it still had a strong start. Riding on the momentum of the live broadcast industry, its valuation and financing were quite impressive. It just had a weak follow-up.
However, Principal Wang showed no interest when he heard this. After all, the live streaming platform is a money-burning business that requires a lot of cash flow, and a simple equity swap makes little sense.
"Well, let's put the matter of the live broadcast platform aside. It hasn't even been launched yet. Let's talk about CRRC." Huang Haoze interrupted.
"This week, CRRC's stock price has been rising for consecutive days, and it has gained fans. I have gained 40 points in one go. I really didn't buy enough."
With Huang Haoze 's jokes, the topic was successfully shifted to the stock market.
“Why are you in such a hurry to send us sports cars? In my opinion, Dongsheng’s prediction has already failed. After all, CRRC now has a market value of one trillion yuan. Even if the growth rate in the future is limited, there will be no big problem if it remains stable in this range.” Principal Wang still insisted on his own idea.
"So many institutions have worked together to raise CRRC's market value to one trillion yuan, which is also the result of the entire market's expectations. With this combined force, it is fully sufficient to support CRRC's prospects." Principal Wang continued.
Huang Haoze looked at Zhou Dongsheng, wanting to see what Zhou Dongsheng would say.
"In the financial market, capital has only one purpose, and that is to make a profit. CRRC has grown to a trillion-dollar market value. In my opinion, the institutions on the train may choose to take profits and leave at any time."
"In fact, the turbulence in CRRC's stock market this week is because the main players in the industry have begun to have different opinions, and the trillion-yuan market value may become the fuse."
"So when the market opens next Monday, I will choose to clear my CRRC holdings. This is my own judgment."
Zhou Dongsheng told the story leisurely, relying on the known results to forcibly reverse deduce his own analysis. It didn't matter even if it was nonsense, as long as the results came true.
"Next week, the outcome of our bet should be revealed. Let's wait and see." Zhou Dongsheng poured tea into the cup, "Please."
"Okay, then let's look forward to the opening on Monday." Principal Wang laughed and picked up the teacup and drank it all.
Huang Haoze seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this. The 40 points he just got weren't even warm enough for him yet. If he lost, he would be giving away his wealth to others.
However, in the face of facts, people's blind trust in Zhou Dongsheng could not help but waver a little. After all, CRRC has been touted as a "magic car".
A trillion-yuan market value is only the end point of CRRC, but it should be the starting point of the magic car. Could it be that it could suddenly die?
As for this problem, not to mention Huang Haoze, the more than 300,000 retail investors who were trapped at the top of CRRC in their previous life probably haven't figured it out either.
