I stole someone else's ticket to rebirth

Chapter 357 He Lives Very Carefree in the Capital
It was already night, so neither of them went home and moved into their new home.

This house has not been occupied for a long time. It is only cleaned once a month and is generally clean and tidy.

Li Yang asked someone to send dinner over. During the meal, Jiang Banxia said, "After the divorce, I shouldn't sleep with you, but I have no shame."

"Yeah, normally after a divorce, you can't harass your ex-wife, but I'm a person without morals."

“Okay, okay, okay…By the way, I want to do Bitcoin next.”

Li Yang hurriedly said, "Anyway, I won't bring you food. I'll be going to the capital in two days."

"Know it!"

After dinner, they washed up and went to bed.

Jiang Banxia talked a lot.

"The shock of the global financial system, coupled with the continuous release of US dollars, has led to fewer and fewer asset anchors..."

"Yeah, but we also have to be careful about the Fed raising interest rates. Now there is a lot of money being poured into the economy, and the domestic economic bubble is too big. They will definitely raise interest rates, and it will be a violent rate hike."

In fact, the current economic prosperity is not a good thing for the country.

Many industries were dazzled by the prosperous foreign trade market. As long as there were goods, they could be sold, so they expanded production frantically.

Once the US dollar interest rate increases, the world will instantly lose liquidity and all those goods will rot in warehouses.

The result of blindly expanding production is to kill yourself.

After the US dollar interest rate hike ends, at least 30% of the global industry will be lost, and they can then use the US dollars in their hands to easily acquire those bankrupt companies.

This is a whole process that they have been using for many years.

The country has also been prepared to respond. In a month or two, they will find an excuse for insufficient electricity supply and start restricting power to industry, preventing some factories from operating at full capacity.

The domestic industrial system is so strong that if it operates at full capacity for one day, hundreds of billions of products can be produced. If it operates at full capacity for ten days, trillions of products can be accumulated.

Once those products cannot be sold, they will have an enormous impact on the domestic market.

I would rather let them earn less at this time than not stabilize the market.

Anyway, as long as we keep stable, the country will not suffer losses.

Once the US dollar starts a cycle of interest rate hikes, those factories will lose everything they have.

Jiang Banxia asked, "How violent can it be?"

"The current benchmark interest rate is 2.25%. It has to be doubled at least. Otherwise, raising the interest rate will not have enough meaning and will not achieve their goal."

Now no one dares to think that the Fed can raise interest rates to 5.5% to 5.75%. This is a very scary number, because the US GDP growth rate is only 2%. On this basis, raising interest rates to 5.5%? Everyone will die, right?
It will completely drain market liquidity.

"Soon?"

“Ah? Almost there!”

"Good good!"

……

Early the next morning, Li Yang announced the news on his social media platform.

“Although we are no longer together, we are still a family.”

Many people didn't know what this sentence meant at first because it had no beginning or end.

As Wanliu Capital released the announcement about the equity change, everyone understood it in an instant.

Li Yang and Jiang Banxia divorced!
There is no doubt that this is an earthquake in the financial market.

The moment Wanliu Capital opened, it was hit by the lower limit, with a transaction volume of less than 2 billion. There were a full 26 billion of funds on the lower limit that wanted to come out, but no one dared to take it.

They’re already divorced, what’s the point of Wanliu Capital?

The act of sending signals is no longer a secret at this point. After all, it has been on the hot search list for several days, and everyone who needs to know about it knows it.

Divorce is also a signal.

At this time, Fang Cheng was also chatting with hundreds of group leaders.

"Is it all over now? Li Yang and Jiang Banxia are getting divorced. Is Wanliu Capital going to go bankrupt as well?"

"Anyway, it's not a good sign. The stock market collapsed today. Now people in the group have started to redeem their funds from Willow Capital."

"Damn it, how did things get to this point? If I were Li Yang, there's no way I'd divorce Jiang Banxia."

"Rumor has it that Li Yang cheated on his wife..."

"What's the point of cheating? It's just the interests of the two of them. No matter if it was Jiang Banxia who cheated or Li Yang who cheated, it's impossible for them to suddenly divorce for the sake of money! At worst, they can just go their separate ways. Such things are not uncommon."

"Five hundred billion evaporated in one day. It's heartbreaking to see it... How dare Li Yang make such an official announcement?"

"That's true. Even if it's a signal, at least give some time to react. Now there's not even time to react..."

"Is it possible that this time there is a deeper meaning? It's not just a signal?"

"How to say?"

"We must first make one thing clear. Although Li Yang has some conscience in running a business, his essence is still to make money. This is also the reason why he sold his 6% stake in Wanliu Capital. He wants cash!

But if he wants cash, then he can just let Jiang Banxia reduce his holdings, and there is no need to get divorced. If Jiang Banxia only reduced his holdings by 10%, the impact on the market would definitely not be as great as it is now. Even if Li Yang gets 30% of Wanliu Capital's shares now, there is still a six-month lock-up period. After six months, only one-third of the shares can be released. No one knows how low Wanliu Capital will fall in six months.

From a financial operations perspective, this is a very stupid move. Jiang Banxia and Li Yang would never make such a decision. "

Soon, someone agreed, "That's true. Li Yang has always liked win-win cooperation. There are other explanations for this situation... They are not badmouthing Wanliu Capital. They just think the financial market is not doing well. I took a look at Wanliu Capital's holdings and calculated for a long time. I found that Wanliu Capital has reduced its positions a lot during this period. It's just that their size is too large and they have also increased their positions, so it's hard to calculate."

"Brother, this is not a small project. How did you calculate it?"

"I calculated it bit by bit. I have 20 pages of tables."

"Awesome! Anyway, it's still hard to tell how Willow Capital is doing, but it's time for the fund to leave."

"Yes, let's leave the fund first. As for the rest, let's wait and see..."

On that day, Wanliu Capital's four funds began to face large-scale redemptions.

Fortunately, Li Yang had taken out 500 billion before, and Jiying Group did not take it away.

The process was entered directly on the same day, and Wanliu Capital continued to sell.

This time the selling was much more violent, with billions and billions of stocks being sold out. The Shanghai Composite Index was about to reach 3,500 points, but it was forcibly pulled down.

At the close of the day, the Shanghai Composite Index fell 3%, falling below points.

The trading volume of the two markets exceeded 1.2 trillion throughout the day, and Wanliu Capital reduced its holdings by 100 billion!

At 6 pm, Wanliu Capital announced its net value. Among the four funds that day, the one that fell the most was five points, and the one that fell the least was three points.

The redemption applications on that day reached 460 billion, but Wanliu Capital only approved 100 billion.

The amount of share reduction will be approved, and Li Yang can use the profits from Jiying Group to cover the bottom line, but there will be no limit to the coverage.

Within the rules, it is acceptable to try to minimize investors' losses.

Trampling is inevitable. Take advantage of now to reduce fund holdings, so as to avoid having to wait until next year and then be unable to turn around.

With Wanliu Capital's current size, if the trading volume gradually declines next year, let alone cashing out 100 billion yuan a day, even if it cashes out 20 billion yuan, the stock market will crash.

The current market will still be good for half a year. After he invests this money, it will be a gold mine. Let others make the final profit.

It is impossible for him to take more than 2 trillion yuan of funds to the bottomless abyss that will begin next year.

The day after the official announcement of the divorce.

Wanliu Capital continued to hit the daily limit, with the trading volume reaching 5.6 billion on the day. The market value has dropped from 5 trillion to the current 4 trillion.

Both markets continued to experience a broad-based decline, with many blue-chip stocks hitting their limit down. Over the past two days, they lost more than a dozen points.

Wanliu Capital is still frantically reducing its holdings.

Jiang Baichuan, who was far away in the capital, sighed.

Wanliu Capital's influence is too great. It is not just Wanliu Capital that is reducing its holdings in the market. Many other funds are also following suit and running away.

This is when Wanliu Capital only released the news of Li Yang and Jiang Banxia’s divorce. If any other report was released, it would not be difficult to cause thousands of A-shares to hit the daily limit.

He knew that Willow Capital now had influence, but he didn't expect it to be so great.

It's an 80 trillion dollar market, and a divorce can bring it to a standstill for two days.

Maybe there are still three days, four days...

Why is this?

Or maybe the previous group of institutions went too far!

There is a lot of profitable funds in the market now, and profitable funds are very sensitive.

At this time, it would be best to let Jiang Banxia come out and say a few words, at least to stabilize the market.

He was 100% sure that this was Li Yang's doing. Jiang Banxia would not be so radical!
……

At this time, Jiang Banxia was frantically buying short contracts of Bitcoin, that is, going long.

With the surge in Bitcoin in the past few months, it has attracted global funds. In her opinion, this market started a little late. Once the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, global financial products will be affected and it will be difficult for Bitcoin to continue to maintain its high level.

If it had started in the second half of last year and increased to $30,000 per coin, she would not feel any pressure.

It was only launched at the beginning of this year and officially exceeded 10,000 US dollars. By the end of the year, it will be a maximum of 25,000 US dollars.

This is still the craziest situation she thinks. As long as the internal funds are slightly divergent for a period of time and can exceed 20,000 US dollars, it is considered a violent market.

In a sense, her advantage in Bitcoin is much greater than that in Boeing.

At least she doesn't have to worry about her account being monitored, and the platform can cover her up. She can produce any data she wants to show others.

Li Yang said that if the Federal Reserve is going to raise interest rates, it will definitely do so, and it will come soon.

Perhaps at this time, Wall Street is already preparing for an interest rate hike.

What is the significance of raising interest rates? The essence is to bring down the prices of other people's high-quality assets, and then Western capital will enter the market to buy at the bottom and get cost-effectiveness.

For example, a factory worth 30 billion yuan has an operating value of 80 billion yuan when it goes public. However, during the process of interest rate hikes, the products cannot be sold, debts are defaulted, etc., resulting in the factory ultimately being bought for more than 10 billion yuan.

At that time, we will cooperate with the interest rate cut cycle, build the factory, package and list the product, and spend 80 billion.

There is also a cost for raising interest rates on the US dollar. If they don't acquire some assets around the world, their debt hole will never be plugged and bankruptcy is only a matter of time.

Now they can hold on with their military strength and financial hegemony. Even if they are in debt of more than 20 trillion US dollars, everyone thinks they can afford it.

But when the debt reaches 30 trillion US dollars, 40 trillion US dollars, or even 100 trillion US dollars, will anyone still believe it?
If they were still powerful at that time, perhaps some people would still believe them, but the level of trust would definitely be discounted.

The world's high-quality assets are either already controlled by Western capital or are located in China.

Jiang Banxia feels that with Li Yang here, the domestic economy will most likely not be harvested, so Western capital will definitely take action on the Bitcoin product, and may have already done so.

With so many tools at hand, it would be a shame not to use them.

But it certainly can’t be like Boeing, which is too easy to be seen.

At three o'clock in the morning, she sent a message to Li Yang.

"Master Li, I'm hungry..."

Li Yang: "????"

"I'm really hungry. I wasn't kidding you. If I had lied, you'd be a puppy!"

"I am not at home."

"Oh, okay then. Woof woof woof... I was lying to you."

"Wait, we'll be there in half an hour!"

"?"

"I'm lying to you, too."

Jiang Banxia smiled knowingly and went to wash up immediately.

After finishing my work, I went out.

After waiting for Li Yang by the river, she knew with just one bite that today's meal was cooked by Li Yang.

It has indeed been a long time since I last had Li Yang’s cooking.

Li Yang said beside him: "I'm going to Beijing, do you want to come with me? It's not suitable for the two of us to charter a plane, it's best to take the high-speed rail."

Li Yang now travels alone and can charter a plane, so basically no one would be willing to pay such a high price to deal with him.

If I were to be with Jiang Banxia, ​​it would be best to take the high-speed rail.

Not to mention charter flights, even normal flights are not suitable.

There are only about one or two hundred people on a flight, so the cost is too small.

The high-speed rail is different. Even in the off-season, the high-speed rail to Beijing is basically full, with more than a hundred people in one carriage and thousands of people on a train.

The more people there are, the greater the cost for others to take action.

"This, this..."

"If you don't want to go, forget it. Anyway, if you scream your throat out tomorrow, I won't be able to bring you food."

"Oh……"

Jiang Banxia buried her head and continued eating.

After they finished eating, she asked, "Wasn't it that I was in the capital and delayed your intimacy with others?"

Li Yang said unhappily, "Who am I being intimate with?"

"Who knows?"

"Okay, okay, tell my mom before you leave and ask her to bring you food next time."

Jiang Banxia quickly said, "But we are divorced."

"What should we do? Let Ling You bring it to you? Anyway, he is your son no matter what, it is only natural for him to bring you food."

"Forget it, forget it. I've already adjusted my schedule. And it's not good to eat right before going to bed. It's easy to gain weight. I've gained almost ten pounds in the past year."

Jiang Banxia's weight has exceeded 120 pounds, but in Li Yang's opinion, it is just right.

He used to be around 110cm tall, which seems a bit thin considering his height of 172cm.

"Anyway, it's up to you. Just don't starve yourself."

"I'm already an adult, if I continue to starve myself, wouldn't that make me stupid? And I won't eat your meal for free, I'll give you another one!"

"Okay, I'm going back then, go to sleep and catch a flight tomorrow!"

"????"

Jiang Banxia played three cards today. The first was the pity card, the second was the weird card, and the third was the temptation card.

As a result, Li Yang didn't even take one.

In fact, Li Yang's plan to go to the capital had been forced to be postponed for several days, just to wait for Jiang Banxia to help her when she was helpless.

As a result, Jiang Banxia managed to hold on for the first two days and only sent him a message on the third day.

If Jiang Banxia sent the message yesterday, then he would leave today.

If it is sent tomorrow, then he will leave the day after tomorrow.

Still no news? Then what's the point of leaving? I've lost my wife!

……

After Li Yang arrived in Beijing, he went to the production line of Jiying Automobile first.

The production line has also been optimized in recent years, with the focus on functionality and human resources rather than major R&D projects.

In fact, manpower sometimes has advantages. If many links are fully automated, the equipment cost and electricity cost alone will be enough to pay ten people's wages for twenty years. What equipment can be used for twenty years?

The maintenance cost is not low either.

It’s just that in some links, machines can do what humans may not be able to do, and in other links, machines can do better than humans. We cannot think about saving costs in these areas.

But whether it is Jiying Group or Lushui Group, they are essentially developing towards service-oriented development, which is also the trend of the future.

Another thing I wanted to do during this trip to Beijing was to meet Lei Jun, the CEO of Shunwei Capital, who is known as the Cash King of Beijing.

Before Jiang Banxia emerged, Lei Jun had 140 billion in cash, which was an absolute bargain in the eyes of any capital.

Later... everyone realized that 140 billion in cash didn't seem like a lot.

Jiang Banxia can easily earn more than 100 billion a year.

When Li Yang worked with Shunwei Capital in the past, he was not qualified to meet Lei Jun, after all, the investment was too small.

He didn't want to meet him now, it was just that Lei Jun took the initiative to find him and wanted to visit the workshop of Jiying Automobile with him.

Li Yang agreed, but left all the company's executives aside and prepared to take them with him.

He is afraid that Lei Jun will poach his employees!

Although the salaries paid by Jiying Group to its senior executives are not low in the industry, who knows what price Lei Jun will offer?
Maybe the other person's annual salary is 8 million. How could Lei Jun offer an annual salary of 30 million?
In mid-April, I had a brief chat with Lei Jun, took him to visit the workshop, and talked about the shared electric vehicles invested by both parties and the derived shared power bank business.

Currently, the scale of this business is very large, with annual domestic revenue exceeding 2 billion.

It just doesn't make money. The shared power bank business relies entirely on selling power banks and can earn more than 20 million yuan a year. The shared electric bike business, which has already been on the right track, still loses more than 10 million yuan every year. The net profit of the entire company is pitifully small.

Fortunately, the app now has more than 30 million registered users, and the annual advertising revenue is around 50 million.

……

At the end of April, Jiang Banxia met Jiang Baichuan in his hometown.

After they met, Jiang Baichuan said, "Student Jiang Banxia, ​​you look a little tired recently. It must be because you are too tired from work. You should learn from Li Yang. He lives a carefree life in Beijing..."
