Chapter 32 This wave needs to be a long-term strategy.
The hustle and bustle outside "Starry Sky Internet Cafe" did not diminish with the end of the weekend. At eight o'clock in the morning, an hour before opening, a long queue of twenty or thirty people had already formed at the door. They were either excitedly discussing their internet experiences from the previous day or guessing whether they could snag a spot today. The exorbitant price of twenty yuan per hour no longer seemed like an insurmountable obstacle to those who had tasted the "future" of internet cafes.
Inside the internet cafe, Ling Yun and Li Mo were checking the data logs from the previous night. The attempt to operate all night was a great success; the forty machines were almost never idle. Although his eyes were a little dark, Li Mo's eyes were full of excitement.
"Brother Yun, last night at its peak, there were 38 servers online simultaneously, with an average session length exceeding three hours! The revenue..." Li Mo's voice trembled slightly, "...very impressive!"
Ling Yun nodded calmly. The internet cafe's success was within his expectations; it was just the beginning of cash flow, not the end. He was about to speak when the landline on the counter rang urgently.
"Brother Ling! Brother Ling!" Wang Degui's frantic voice came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by background noise, seemingly coming from the securities brokerage. "We're here! We're here! Shenzhen Technology! It crashed as soon as it opened, 11.5 yuan! Exactly 11.5 yuan!!"
Wang Degui's voice sounded unusually sharp due to excitement and deliberate lowering, as if he were reporting some top-secret military intelligence.
Ling Yun's eyes suddenly sharpened, like a lurking cheetah that had caught the sound of its prey. His hand gripping the phone was as firm as a rock, his tone completely calm: "Is it opening on November 11.5th?"
"Absolutely true! It's right here at 11.5 yuan! Brother Ling!" Wang Degui's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Okay, I got it, I'll be right there." Ling Yun hung up the phone crisply.
He turned to Li Mo and spoke rapidly: "Li Mo, I'm leaving this to you and Wei Guo. I have urgent business to attend to. If any technical problems arise, handle them according to the contingency plan we discussed earlier."
"Brother Yun, don't worry!" Li Mo immediately straightened his back.
Ling Yun said no more, grabbed the black bag he had casually placed on the front desk, pushed open the glass door, and strode to the roadside under the curious gazes of the students in line, hailing a yellow van.
"Qilu Securities branch, quick!"
The van carrying Lingyun merged into the morning rush hour traffic. But Lingyun's heart had already flown to that battlefield full of strategic maneuvering.
At the entrance of the business department, Wang Degui paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. As soon as he saw Ling Yun get out of the car, he rushed over as if he had seen a savior.
"Brother Ling! You've finally arrived! Look!" He pointed to the huge electronic display screen above the entrance of the business department, where the price of Shenzhen Technology (000021) was clearly visible: 11.38 yuan.
"I've been watching it closely, and it even touched as low as 11.18!" Wang Degui panted, his face flushed with excitement and nervousness. "It's come back a little bit now, but it's still below our target price!"
Ling Yun patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Wang, you've worked hard."
"Of course! Of course!" Wang Degui rubbed his hands together and followed Ling Yun step by step into the sales department.
The VIP room was still filled with the smell of tobacco and tension, but the atmosphere was completely different from when DeepTech was soaring. Many people stared at the glaring green candlestick on the screen with panic and hesitation on their faces, whispering among themselves.
"Such a sharp drop, has the big players been unloading their shares? It's fallen 40% from its peak!"
"Should I cut my losses? If it drops any further, I'll lose all my principal!"
"Ling Yun is here!" someone whispered.
Instantly, most eyes focused on Ling Yun. There was expectation, doubt, and scrutiny. Professor Liu, holding a thermos, watched from afar, his brow furrowed, and did not approach as usual.
Ling Yun ignored the stares and walked straight to Zhou Shiming's office.
Zhou Shiming had already seen Ling Yun's arrival through the window and was now standing at the door with a professional smile, but a hint of scrutiny lurked in his eyes. The significant pullback in Shenzhen Technology's stock price had also made this experienced manager uneasy.
"Mr. Ling, you've arrived." Zhou Shiming ushered Ling Yun into his office and closed the door behind him, shutting out the noise from outside.
"Manager Zhou, let's get straight to the point." Ling Yun sat down without any pleasantries. "I need financing."
Zhou Shiming thought to himself, "As expected," and tentatively asked, "Mr. Ling is optimistic that Shenzhen Technology will rebound this time? The market sentiment isn't very good right now."
Ling Yun's lips curled into a slight, indifferent smile: "Be greedy when others are fearful. Manager Zhou, I currently have 500 million in principal." He pushed the passbook in front of him. "This time, I want 1:3 leverage."
"1:3?" Zhou Shiming gasped, his heart pounding. A principal of 500 million, leveraged by 1500 million, totaling 2000 million! In this era, this was an enormous sum that would alarm even a branch manager! The risks were equally immense!
"Mr. Ling, isn't this... leverage too high? What if the market continues to decline..." Zhou Shiming tried to remind him.
"I'll bear the risks myself," Ling Yun interrupted him, her tone resolute. "The agreement remains the same. Can we proceed?"
Looking into Ling Yun's eyes, Zhou Shiming recalled his previous miraculous feats and gritted his teeth: "It can be done! I'll go prepare the contract right away!"
Behind the huge stakes lay enormous commissions and performance rewards. Zhou Shiming decided to go all out with this young man one last time!
The financing agreement was signed with extraordinary speed. The 1500 million yuan was transferred to Lingyun's designated trading account almost before the ink on the contract was dry. Adding this to his own 580 million yuan, the total amount reached a staggering 2000 million yuan.
Ling Yun sat down in the private "special account room" and turned on the computer with the beta version of the trading software installed.
The numbers on the screen kept changing. Shenzhen Technology struggled around 11.4 yuan, facing heavy selling pressure. Sichuan Changhong (600839) and Shenzhen Development Bank (000001) were also in the low range of their pullback.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Yun brought up the trading interface, entered his account and password, and immediately locked onto Shenzhen Technology.
"Stock Code: 000021, Order Price: 11.50 yuan, Order Quantity: 50 shares."
Confirm, press Enter!
The 500 million yuan was instantly converted into a buy order for 50 shares of Shenzhen Technology. Like a boulder thrown into a lake, it swept away all the sell orders below 11.5 yuan, and the stock price stood firmly at 11.50 yuan!
Outside the VIP room, Wang Degui, who saw this scene on the big screen, almost jumped up, while inside the VIP room, there was a chorus of gasps.
Lingyun didn't pause; the interface switched.
"Stock Code: 600839, Order Price: 12.70 yuan, Order Quantity: 40 shares."
Confirm, press Enter!
508 million yuan flowed in, and 40 shares of Sichuan Changhong were traded!
Switch again.
"Stock Code: 000001, Order Price: 8.00 yuan, Order Quantity: 65 shares."
Confirm, press Enter!
520 million yuan was invested, and 65 shares of Shenzhen Development Bank were acquired!
In less than ten minutes, the massive sum of 1528 million was precisely allocated, all of which were sold at prices higher than the market price. Lingyun was operating alone and didn't have time to slowly accumulate shares at lower prices.
Ling Yun let out a long sigh, leaning back slightly in his chair. The portfolio list on the screen had been updated:
Shenzhen Technology, cost 11.50 yuan, holding 50 shares.
Sichuan Changhong, cost 12.70 yuan, holding 40 shares.
Shenzhen Development Bank, cost 8.00 yuan, holding 65 shares.
Cash balance: RMB 552 million.
He used 2000 million yuan to build a large position concentrated in these three leading stocks. The remaining 500 million yuan in cash was used as reserve funds and working capital for the internet cafe's operations.
After doing all this, he shut down the trading software, as if the thrilling operation he had just experienced had nothing to do with him. He got up and pushed open the door to the VIP room.
Wang Degui immediately leaned closer, his voice hoarse: "Brother Ling... you bought them all?"
"Hmm." Ling Yun nodded, glancing at the three stocks on the screen that had temporarily stopped falling due to his large purchase. "This wave is going to be a long-term investment."
Ignoring the complex and unspoken gazes around him, he nodded to Zhou Shiming who came to greet him: "Manager Zhou, I'll leave this to you. I have things to do at the internet cafe, so I'll be going now."
Under the watchful eyes of Zhou Shiming and Wang Degui, Ling Yun calmly left the business department.
It was as if he had just made a routine purchase, rather than a high-stakes gamble involving 2000 million.
