Chapter 273: The Universe is Undetermined, Everything is Possible

"Take a sip of tea and relax, then head out," Mr. Lu said with a smile, well aware that his cousin Liangzi wasn't eloquent and was the kind of honest man who couldn't even get a word out if prodded. Expecting him to utter lofty statements about offering his undying loyalty till death was clearly unrealistic. "Brother, then I'll be going," Fang Shiyu struggled to say what was on his mind and swallowed his words, nodding firmly. He silently etched the kindness of his cousin deeply into his heart. Mr. Lu was busy dealing with official business in his office when, close to noon, Sun Yongbin from the Silver Supervision Committee called. He informed Mr. Lu that the public fund had passed the audit and inquired when Mr. Lu planned to start fundraising. "Let's do it on the 25th, which is a Monday," Mr. Lu said, barely containing his excitement. After the discussion, he immediately set the date for the following Monday, five days later. This month, aside from research, there had been more research; he had almost taken no action, all in anticipation of the public fund's audit approval. ƒ Now that his wish had finally come true, he was eager to move on to the next phase of his plan. Soon the news that Tianxing Mixed Fund had been approved spread like wildfire within financial circles. Mr. Lu transitioning to public funds wasn't surprising, as he had been warming up to the idea for half a year now, and it seemed like a natural progression. But the moment they learned the amount of the public fund, all professionals were astounded and thought it was a hoax. "300 billion for Phase One?" "How could he dare?" The entire industry fell silent; a first phase fund size of 300 billion RMB was unprecedented, and it was doubtful any would follow. Mr. Lu was known for his audacity. Otherwise, Tianxing Phase One would not have set the unit price at 2 million US dollars with an annual dividend of 9.4 million dollars.

Turning one hundred million US dollars into one billion on the international stage was theoretically possible but came with corresponding high risks. The fact that one hundred million could become one billion indicated that one hundred million could also be lost in an instant, or even more. Since risk is proportionate to reward, it wasn't hard to guess that Mr. Lu's everyday investment style was extremely aggressive. To say he was flirting with danger wasn't an exaggeration. Initiating a public fund of 300 billion seemed preposterous, yet he indeed had the nerve to do it. But the Silver Supervision Committee had agreed! That was truly terrifying. It meant the state believed Mr. Lu could manage 300 billion effectively. They were also confident about entrusting him with the savings of the general populace. This kind of trust was what others envied the most. "He's defying the heavens!" Shen Peng and Zhu Hu, who knew Mr. Lu, were flooded with mixed feelings upon hearing the news. As venture capitalists, both big and small, they were acutely aware of what it meant to hold 300 billion in liquid funds. Exaggeration aside, even Tencent, valued at 1.77 trillion Hong Kong dollars, would suffer greatly under Mr. Lu's scrutiny, perhaps not to death but certainly severely. However, such a scenario, akin to Guan Yu battling Qin Qiong, was impossible, as mainland public funds were single-currency funds. Therefore, the capital could only circulate domestically, unable to go overseas, meaning investment was limited to the A-share market. In the A-share market, apart from a few state-owned big banks, there were virtually no companies that could withstand an assault from 300 billion. One could say that whichever company Mr. Lu set his sights on would have no choice but to "take the Lu surname," without any space for resistance. In the financial market, cash is king, and Mr. Lu, with 300 billion in liquid funds, was the true uncrowned king. That very afternoon, the worst fears of domestic financial practitioners came to pass. Somehow, word of Tianxing Mixed Fund's approval leaked to the outside world. "Damn, Liangzi's public fund is finally here." "Tsk, tsk, a 300 billion scale, who but him." "This time, there shouldn't be any issue with subscribing, right?" "Heed my command, pull back the funds, and wait for the issue." "Charge~~~" Following the leak, the A-share market plummeted as public fund companies scrambled to process a massive number of redemption orders. Retail investors and fund members alike withdrew their capital from the market, waiting for the issuance of Tianxing Mixed Fund. Before, they had no choice and couldn't choose, but now they just want to cling to Lu Liang's coattails. Even if he fools them, they're willing to be fooled. Meanwhile, at the starting point of the Sichuan-Tibet 318 Line, The weather turned cold, and the number of adventurers heading to Tibet plummeted. Little Yang spent her days idly playing video games in the shop. Upon hearing that Lu Liang's public fund approval had passed, with an initial scale reaching 300 billion yuan, She decisively allocated all her capital, leaving only 200,000 yuan for the daily operation of her small shop, and 2 million yuan in government bonds. In total, she prepared 4 million yuan, rubbing her hands and waiting eagerly for the public fund to be issued. If it weren't for Lu Liang, she would have lost everything long ago and resorted to prostitution. How could she now own a house, a car, a business, and still have several million yuan in savings, becoming a little internet celebrity on the 318 Line this year? "Ah~ Lu God, he has probably forgotten about me. Should I go to Modu to find him?" Little Yang propped her chin with her hands, her gaze unfocused, staring blankly, looking at the drooling husky at the entrance of the shop. This year, she opened a coffee shop and was hyped by the media, becoming an indispensable part of the scenery on the 318 Line. She met many wealthy young heirs and talented artistic youths, not lacking suitors at all. She had thought about getting a boyfriend and then blocking Lu Liang, completely leaving her past behind to start a new life. But every so often, news of Lu Liang bombarded her, making it impossible for her to forget. Every time she tried to socialize, the image of Lu Liang would appear in her mind; she had slept with such an awesome and blustering man. To sleep with these ordinary people, she always felt something was missing. "Maybe I should find someone to father a child?" Little Yang chuckled, her mind filled with mischief. Being alone was a bit boring, but having a baby would not be boring. She had money, enough to raise a child alone. Suddenly, her attention was drawn to the dog at the shop entrance: "You dog, chewing on my shoes again, how many pairs have you ruined this month?" ... On the plane to Beijing, Lu Liang had just left the Modu Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and immediately rushed to the airport to catch his flight. A scale of 300 billion yuan would likely require 50% base cash to ensure that any sudden news would not cause a stampede-like redemption. Just like just now, before he boarded the plane, he saw that the Tianxing Mixed Fund was about to be issued, and hordes of investors, even those who didn't care for the returns, were redeeming their initially invested funds. A lot of fund companies were cursing, only being able to use the base cash to ensure that a stampede-like redemption would not affect their operation. This is an uncontrollable factor, which is why typically public funds need to reserve a substantial amount of base cash or need to apply for redemption a week in advance. The Saudi Sovereign Fund contributed ten billion dollars, the Modu Human Resources and Social Security Bureau invested 40 billion yuan, and State-owned Xiao Xin needed to contribute at least 45 billion yuan to achieve the 50% base cash target. On the phone, he had already agreed with Director Zhou. State-owned Xiao Xin would subscribe to 50 billion yuan, and Lu Liang's trip was to sign the contract, to clarify future investment directions, and to accept the other party's financial supervision. As soon as the plane landed, there was a car waiting to take Lu Liang directly to Beijing's State-owned Xiao Xin office. Director Zhou greeted him with a smiling face, warmly receiving him: "Mr. Lu, you must be tired from the long journey." Lu Liang smiled and said, "I've been idle for half a month, just waiting for the approval to pass. It can't really be considered hard work." Compared to Director Zhao of the Bureau of Human Resources, he preferred dealing with Director Zhou. Even though Director Zhou was also in charge of a state-owned enterprise department, he had been involved in numerous business investments for many years. There were hardly any bureaucratic airs, and he could be treated like a big shot with a lot of funds at his disposal. After some pleasantries, Director Zhou cut straight to the point, "Mr. Lu, our conversation on the phone yesterday wasn't very clear. Could you please briefly and concisely explain the future investment direction?" Lu Liang nodded: "Director Zhou, this fund could also be called Tianxing New Energy Mixed Fund, mainly engaging in investments in the new energy industry in the future." He had delivered this speech three times now, each time more proficient than the last. As soon as the funds arrived, he would apply for land in Modu to build a new energy industrial park and invite major enterprises to move in to build a complete new energy ecological industry chain. Just like Pingshan BYD in Shenzhen, 60% of the enterprises in Pingshan have direct or indirect cooperation with BYD. Director Zhou pondered, a glint of insight flashing in his eyes, "Mr. Lu, who will become Modu's BYD?" "It could be Tesla, could be NIO, could be Li Xiang, and of course, it could also be Tianxing." Lu Liang's smile carried confidence, he dared to bet and could afford to lose. Director Zhou looked astonished, pondering for a long time before seemingly coming to an understanding, clapping in approval, "What a bold move." With this move, Lu Liang could be said to be making a wedding dress for himself, but also possibly for others. This was the stage he had built with his own hands; whoever had the ability could become the master of this stage. "The future is not set, everything is possible." Lu Liang smiled calmly, if he was not as skilled as them, if he couldn't compete with them, it would show he wasn't truly fit for industrial development. And he would willingly and gladly play the role of a referee.
