High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 402 - 192: Jiang Banxia’s Doomsday Has Come (Part 2)

She doesn’t know much about luxury items, after all, they have little to do with her.

If it were the old Liu Yuheng, it wouldn’t matter if she accepted them; she could just keep them at home without wearing them.

Liu Yuheng awkwardly said, "Senior, I didn’t think it through. How about this? I can ask a friend in Jiang City to help buy a car for you? Not a super expensive one, just around twenty or thirty thousand, so it’s convenient for you to have a means of transport there."

Song Xiaoli smiled and said, "Oh, no, please don’t. I’m just a junior staff member. If the boss finds out, it wouldn’t be good. At least wait until I’ve established myself in Jiang City before doing such things. But I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Once I’m settled in Jiang City, I’ll definitely take you out for a meal."

"Haha, sure."

On the surface, Liu Yuheng wore a cheerful smile, but in reality, he was quickly losing patience.

Song Xiaoli always gave people the feeling of being both near and distant, and up until now, their relationship hadn’t progressed at all.

During the summer vacation, he could clearly sense things were nearly on track, but who would have thought things went wrong with his family over the summer? Even though he deliberately hid a lot, Song Xiaoli still found out some things.

After that, his relationship with Song Xiaoli suddenly became much more distant.

In the passenger seat, Song Xiaoli carefully placed the bag aside, then took out her phone to start reading the news.

The news that came into view was about today’s stock market meltdown... Also, by now, the circuit breaker had hit the second level, and trading would be halted for the day.

Everyone on the internet was discussing this matter, and the market was extremely anxious.

A well-known financial blogger specifically wrote a post about Wanliu Capital.

Based on Wanliu Capital’s holdings, one could analyze that the stocks heavily invested in by Wanliu Capital today were almost all hitting the limit down. Even if Jiang Banxia had extraordinary abilities, it would be impossible to turn things around today with hundreds of billions of funds.

Wanliu Capital’s funds are different from others; its funds come from online promotion and Jiang Banxia’s persona.

This massive market downturn will bring Jiang Banxia back to square one, and Wanliu Capital will face large-scale redemptions.

And large-scale redemptions will squeeze the operation space; the sooner you redeem, the less loss you suffer, but redeeming later means you’ll be trampled over, losing at least ten to twenty points more.

The post is quite inciting, although some analyses do seem reasonable and well-founded.

Everything has two sides; funds that surge rapidly in the short term naturally come with risks.

Those veteran funds can make mistakes, and users have enough patience with them.

Wanliu Capital cannot afford mistakes, especially since it has only been established for a few months. One mistake can send months of effort back to square one.

Song Xiaoli felt inexplicably pleased after reading the post.

After all, it’s most difficult to accept when others are doing well and you are not.

Especially Li Yang, who’s basically controlled Song Yu’s thinking. She wanted Song Yu to provide some financial support, but Song Yu refused.

Plus, Liu Yuheng’s family’s troubles are closely linked to Li Yang.

She has no feud with Li Yang, but she’s just in a good mood now.

This stock market crash could be the end for Wanliu Capital.

Li Yang’s current status was all because of Jiang Banxia, wasn’t it?

Otherwise, he would merely be a retired professional player, a streamer.

...

In the afternoon, Li Yang had just had lunch in the cafeteria and returned to the dormitory around one o’clock when he learned about the secondary circuit breaker in the stock market today leading to early market closure.

He also naturally saw that very popular post.

He wouldn’t believe it if someone said nobody paid for the hype.

The core idea of the post was basically one sentence: Jiang Banxia’s end has come!

However, the post had a flaw: the holdings revealed by Wanliu Capital aren’t real-time. Mutual funds are only required to disclose their holdings, a delay of half a month or a month is quite normal, and there’s no firm in the whole stock market that discloses real-time holdings.

However... even if it’s not real-time, it’s close enough.

In Li Yang’s perspective, even if Jiang Banxia was mentally prepared and had a 35% cash reserve, she was still going to lose a lot of money.

Even if they switched to bank stocks, they would lose over five points.

Especially CMB, where Jiang Banxia had concentrated her investments—it plunged nine points today, while banking stocks generally fell around five points.

Those people are really ruthless... even daring to provoke Jiang Banxia.

Jiang Banxia is much tougher than him. Li Yang would still consider sentiment; Jiang Banxia wouldn’t care about anyone’s feelings.

All they want is to guide users of Wanliu Capital’s funds to redeem quickly so they wouldn’t be caught in a mess.

Besides, being a famous financial blogger, his words naturally carry some credibility.

But in Li Yang’s view, one or two setback attempts would never defeat Jiang Banxia, they’d only make her stronger.

"Damn, why is He Lewei, that dog, still not back? Did things really work for him?"

After returning, Li Yang discovered there were only two people in the dormitory.

He Lewei didn’t attend the morning class, and by now, it was almost two o’clock, and he still wasn’t back.

Although there were no classes in the afternoon, He Lewei’s situation was evidently not right.

Chen Weixing turned away from the computer screen and said, "Old He said he’s treating us to dinner tonight."

"Dinner my foot, I gotta go comfort my wife tonight."

Li Yang could already imagine how distressed Jiang Banxia would be tonight.

Heh, heh, heh, heh...

"What’s up?"

"The stock market hit a circuit breaker today!"

After Li Yang finished speaking, he began making preparations.

He definitely had to prepare a great meal for Jiang Banxia.

He made a call to Liu Ruyi.

"Ruyi, can you lend me your cook? To help me make a few dishes."
