Ch 85: Never Learn Your Lesson

Cao Cheng’s theory had no problems.

That’s just how good memory is.

He had read all the classics, and could quote them effortlessly.

Tang Xin furrowed her brows slightly.

Currently, she wasn’t in the mood to look at handsome guys either; after all, her money was in there… along with the fund she managed.

That was an astronomical figure.

People pay so much in management fees every year, don’t they rely on the professional knowledge of people like them?

Although there are many bad actors in the industry.

But there are also… good ones.

Let’s not talk about how much money is earned, first of all, not letting investors lose money is her motto.

If the correction is large, she needs to plan ahead.

If someone else told her the correction would be large, she wouldn’t believe it, because she also has her own judgment.

But this person in front of her…

That’s the repeatedly victorious “God of Stocks Aotian”!

Coupled with her excellent first impression of Young Master Cao.

Publicly and privately, emotionally and rationally, she leaned towards believing Cao Cheng.

Tang Xin said solemnly: “I’ve looked at it before, around the 3900-point mark, there was a lot of capital building a base, and many sectors were at their lowest point. If the index falls below 3900, to 3800, then it will be a disaster, affecting investors’ confidence.”

“Stock investors are brainless.”

“I’m referring to the majority; they only follow the trend, and they are also timid. Once it falls below 3800, the market is likely to plummet, completely destroying overall market confidence and conditions.”

“At that time, the people following the selling pressure will not be institutions, nor will they be large investors, but these small investors. Finally, a bandwagon effect will occur, and it will be impossible to save.”

“On our side, it’s mainly retail investors.”

Tang Xin’s judgment was correct.

But…

This year is different.

There’s the shadow of foreign investment.

Especially these days,

only a little capital leverage is needed, plus a wave of hype from various foreign institutions, and small investors will return, pulling up the stock market.

The current pro-foreign sentiment is very strong.

…

Unfortunately, no matter what Tang Xin said.

Cao Cheng didn’t tell her how much the correction would ultimately be.

This is business confidential information.

And…

Tang Xin also cleverly didn’t ask Young Master Cao’s bottom price; asking would be crossing a line, their relationship wasn’t that close.

She could only consider more boldly.

This was still because she was giving “God of Stocks Aotian” face; for anyone else, she wouldn’t even consider it.

3800?

3700?

At most 3600…

From 4170, correcting to 3600, what kind of magnitude is that? I dare not even think about it.

A sharp decline of this much, who would still have confidence?

At this time, Tang Xin was not in the mood to talk about love. After chatting for a while, they got to know each other, and she ultimately did not eat at home but left.

She needed a quiet environment to consider this matter.

Today is the weekend, and there’s still time to organize.

Next week’s market open, might there be a market reversal?

She needs to look at the company’s data and the judgments of various bigwigs to corroborate Young Master Cao’s statement.

She was inclined to believe Young Master Cao.

But she needed corroboration to fully believe it.

Otherwise, she would believe the market more, and she would believe herself more.

If she didn’t even believe herself, she wouldn’t have been able to achieve this level.

…

After Tang Xin left.

Second Sister spoke.

“What kind of riddles are you two playing? Why didn’t you tell her how much it would fall? Is this a secret?”

Second Sister is a fool.

She’s not sensitive to money, and even less so to finance!

Is this a secret?

If one knew three days’ events in advance, one would be rich forever, doesn’t she know that?

And why should she tell her?

Did she pay me a management fee?

Did she pay me a consulting fee?

My colleagues know, right?

Being able to say what I said earlier was already because of her beauty… because of Second Sister’s face.

Cao Cheng glared at her angrily: “If you don’t understand, just shut up.”

Second Sister: “…”

Cao Cheng opened his mouth: “Ah~~~ cantaloupe.”

Second Sister subconsciously used a toothpick from the fruit plate to pick up a piece of cantaloupe and hand it to Cao Cheng.

Cao Cheng ate it in one bite; it tasted very sweet.

Second Sister was stunned.

Why would she subconsciously feed him?

Has she become accustomed to it?

How annoying.

【Ding~ Negative Emotion…】

Critical Hit.

Second Sister directly threw away the toothpick, her face grim: “I think you’ve trained, shall we practice?”

Crazy.

Cao Cheng glanced sideways.

Fighting, bullying her, also has a critical hit.

But hanging out with her, the critical hit is greater, and it can be infinitely stacked.

Cao Cheng shook his head: “I don’t fight.”

“Your physique clearly shows you’ve trained,” Second Sister said.

Cao Cheng shook his head: “Does training mean you have to fight?”

He spoke again, lecturing her: “Those who practice martial arts emphasize strengthening the bones, muscles, and skin.”

“And cultivating inner strength, remaining calm in danger!”

“What is trained is a realm, a cultivation, a natural way… not being violent and aggressive.”

“I don’t know who your master is, but if your master is like you, I can only say he won’t live long.”

“In history, those who truly practiced Chinese martial arts, those who were violent and aggressive, all died violently.”

“The reason why Zhang Zhenren lived for 218 years is because he never fought.”

“Second Sister.”

“You.”

“Still need to train!”

“Train your heart!”

Cao Cheng, with a mature and steady demeanor, stood up, shook his head, sighed, and left.

Leaving Second Sister alone, with a face full of anger.

+100

+199

+299

+599

+1999…

…

Cao Cheng didn’t know the specific details of the secondary market’s trends.

Because many events in his dreams were not detailed.

Only general news.

Such as how much it rose sharply, how much it fell sharply, which speculative stock exploded, which micro-cap stock was severely punished, which weighted stock…

He only knew these.

But,

now that Cao Cheng has studied the theory, knowing this is already enough.

He knows where the upper limit of this rally is, reaching 4333!

And then correcting to… 3400!

It can be described as a sharp decline; the stock market’s near-thousand-point plunge is like a mountain torrent, overwhelming.

Very frightening.

Major news outlets all reported on it.

It was only for a day or two, and then it rallied, pulled back up in a week, then fell again, then rallied again…

Back and forth tug-of-war.

Scaring the leeks so much that they dared not enter the market, and then the bull market came.

Actually, stock investors are stupid…

Actually, stock investors are simply; when it rises, they have confidence, when it falls, they lose confidence.

Up and down, confidence comes and goes, goes and comes, and finally becomes numb and timid.

But these people are also ungrateful.

To describe them in one word… they only remember to eat, not to be beaten.

When the bull market comes, these people will forget their previous losses and sharp declines, throwing all their money in…

Did you hear that? If you don’t buy now, you won’t be able to buy it, hurry, hurry, run to the market, hurry…

Finally, these people are standing guard at the top of the mountain.

Even in 2025, some people still haven’t gotten out of their losses.

These are the true Gods of Stocks!

These people are like Buffett, casually holding stocks for twenty years, very stable!

…

So,

now that it’s the weekend, Cao Cheng called his investment advisors and asked him to call a meeting of the traders.

Announce next week to strengthen risk control.

Liquidate those that should be liquidated.

Liquidate those that shouldn’t be liquidated as well.

It’s only 4170 now, it hasn’t reached the peak of 4333 points yet, but Cao Cheng must leave; if he’s late, he’ll be buried.

Of course,

he liquidated part of his holdings before.

Now he still has several hundred million yuan left.

Also, during the sharp decline, he will not buy at the lowest point, because he has a lot of funds, so he needs to buy in batches in advance, starting from 3600 and buying all the way down to 3400, and then wait for it to ascend to six thousand…

That’s the idea.

Young Master Cao only needs to speak.

He gives them so much salary, it’s to follow instructions at critical moments, and to do it well.

When Young Master Cao is in a good mood, red envelopes worth hundreds of thousands of yuan are sent out.
