Spark

Suzhou, in Jiangsu Hi-Tech Enterprise Park.

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance squatted in the stairwell, smoking one cigarette after another.

His name is Wang Tielin, and he is an ordinary employee of Jiangsu Hi-Tech. He is responsible for the work related to energy and combustion effect testing. He has worked diligently in the same position for 6 years.

In the past six years, he can't say that he didn't get any returns, but on the one hand, because the technical direction of the company itself is relatively small, and on the other hand, because his technical strength is not top-notch, so the The economic benefits” are actually not that much.

Therefore, his life has never been able to satisfy him and his family.

Especially after settling in Suzhou and giving birth to a child, various expenses such as mortgages, tuition fees, living expenses, and cram schools made him almost out of breath.

Therefore, he is looking forward to an opportunity to make a fortune all the time, hoping that one day he can make a fortune, solve all his problems, and even directly realize the freedom of wealth.

——

It has to be said that this is actually the wish that most ordinary people would have.

However, not all ordinary people will have such opportunities as Wang Tielin.

Just two days ago, he learned of an exciting news through internal channels, that is:

Jiangsu Hi-Tech has confirmed that it will participate in the energy system test of the Long March-9 rocket, and may directly provide technical support for Chang'e-4 and Chang'e-5.

What this means, it goes without saying.

Once the news is fermented, the stock of the company I belong to will soar like the Long March-9 rocket. If the launch goes smoothly, a large number of people will even realize the freedom of wealth.

He is extremely envious of those executives in the company, and also envious of those colleagues who boldly used their savings to buy the company's stock in the employee stock ownership plan in the past two years.

They really stepped on an opportunity to change their destiny, and they...

Because of his overly cautious and even cowardly personality, he might miss this opportunity.

However, it seems that it is not too late now.

After all, as a technician, I was actually the first batch of people to get the news. This huge information gap is also my advantage.

As long as you buy enough stocks in the A-share secondary market, even if it only doubles, it will be enough to change your life drastically in the next few years.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he immediately raised all the advanced family members, even found relatives, friends and banks to borrow money, and raised 500,000 yuan in just two days. invested in the stock market.

He fantasized about countless times of stock prices skyrocketing and his realization of wealth and freedom. The excitement and ecstasy in his heart could hardly be suppressed. If he was not worried about the news leaking, he might have started to show off to the people around him.

——

However, at this moment, a bad news hit his head.

The news came from his colleague Lin Fuben, who is also a technician in the field of energy testing.

He is closer to the core layer than himself, so he has a clearer understanding of the inside story of this cooperation with aerospace technology and aerospace power.

According to him, this cooperation may not be so optimistic.

.So I'm really saying that this partnership between Aerodynamics and SpaceX is not as simple as most people think.

Official propaganda deliberately exaggerates the benefits of LITV technology, but almost completely fails to mention the difficulty of implementing this technology.

You have always been engaged in energy system testing, and you may not know much about this, but I have done electronic control projects related to rocket engines before, so I still understand a little bit.

Let me tell you, LITV technology is a hanging garden. It looks beautiful and the foundation is high, but in the final analysis, it is floating in the air.

The most difficult thing is not laying the foundation, the most difficult thing is how to make this garden really float and fly into the air!

Human technology can't do this at all. If you don't believe me, go to the forum and read, those big guys think so.

In short, the situation is not good. Anyway, I plan to sell the stocks in my hand. It just happened that the transaction lock-up period has passed. This time, if I sell it, I can cash out a lot of money.

I also saw that you have ideas, so I came here to persuade you.

The situation of your family really can't bear your messing around.

Lin Fuben's words are very pertinent, and Wang Tielin can hear his sincerity.

He did think for himself, and he did see what he thought was a risk.

However, Wang Tielin just couldn't listen.

Is it really that bad? LITV technology doesn't sound complicated, does it? Isn't it essentially a solid-liquid mixed combustion technology?

It's not solid-liquid mixed combustion, it's solid-liquid transformation!

Lin Fuben sighed and continued:

I can't tell you too many specific technical details, but you just need to know one thing: the technology is difficult, and the realization is difficult. It is also difficult for the Long March-9 and Chang'e-5 to achieve the expected goals!

So, you still want to think about the stock going up? It's not bad if it doesn't go down!

If you really want to make money, you might as well go short.

Short?

Wang Tielin frowned. He was considered an old stockholder. Although the principal was not much, he knew all kinds of ways to play, so he immediately understood what Lin Fuben meant.

You mean, go short in Hong Kong stocks?

yes!

Lin Fuben nodded.

However, it's not stable to be long, and it's not stable to be short.

What if it really works out? This is a project of the Aerospace Corporation, or a national key project.

Nuclear fusion was said to be at least a few decades away, but now? It took a few years to get it out.

I think there is still hope.

That's not the same thing at all!

Lin Fuben immediately interrupted Wang Tielin's words and continued to explain:

Look, we have made several technological advances recently, including nuclear fusion, and room-temperature superconductivity. In fact, in the final analysis, what is the core problem? It is the material!

What is the emphasis on material science? It's luck!

Didn't you listen to what they said? Material science is burning a furnace, which is not much different from alchemy. Whoever is lucky will make it.

But aerospace technology is different. It is system engineering, and it is not a single-point breakthrough that can solve the problem. If you think about it from another angle, if we can really make it, do we still need to buy technology from SpaceX?

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Tielin was almost convinced.

Yeah, if you can really get it out, why do you want to exchange it with SpaceX?

For a moment, he gave up the idea of ​​buying stocks to go long, and even eagerly wanted to go to the Hong Kong stock market for a wave and short, maybe he could use the mechanism of the Hong Kong stock market to soar into the sky.

But in the end, his reason still held him back.

I have no chance of failure, and the risk of shorting Hong Kong stocks is too great.

On the other hand, motivation is also a problem.

Why did I borrow money so impulsively, put all my eggs in one basket, and fight for this opportunity in the past two days? In fact, the original idea was very simple, that is, absolute trust in official judgment.

Can they go wrong?

Maybe will.

But technically, in the past few years, it seems that they have never missed

Could it be that this time, I am so unlucky that I will buy a black swan? ?

Wang Tielin did not believe that his luck would be so bad.

Thinking of this, he said:

Forget it.

The credibility of these news is relatively low. Regarding the discussion of technology, I don't think anyone will have more say than the official.

Since the aerospace group thinks this technology is feasible, why should I question it?

Fuben, I feel that we are now investing in the country's fortune. Do you remember that when fusion appeared, I also planned to invest in it, but because I was too timid, I didn't make it in the end.

At that time, my thoughts were similar to yours, and I felt that this technology could not be worked out.

Now, I really regret it to death.

That's different.

Nothing is different.

Lin Fuben wanted to persuade Wang Tielin again, but the latter interrupted him with a determined look.

I've thought about it. You're right. It's really irrational for me to borrow money for investment. I have to return the money.

However, over the years, I have also saved a small two hundred thousand. I don't plan to keep this little money.

Follow the official, eat meat or starve, I admit it!

Hearing his words, Lin Fuben's eyes showed sympathy.

In his opinion, Wang Tielin probably has already topped.

At this time, he would not listen to anyone's advice.

It's a pity. The more he believes in some things, the worse he will fall.

The Long March-9 is absolutely unacceptable. I didn't say it thoroughly, but in fact, I have more inside news.

Not only myself, but most of the capital in the international market has already heard the news and moved.

And Wang Tielin's actions are undoubtedly going against the trend

Redwood Capital Headquarters.

Ji Cheng is one of the most experienced traders of Red Forest Capital. Every project he has handled can be said to represent the highest level in the industry. In the early days, he even traded large-scale investments in Huaxia soybeans and edible oil.

Under his leadership, Honglin Capital, the branch of Blackstone Capital in China, has also achieved great success in just a few years.

By 2006, Red Forest Capital had even controlled more than 15% of the local real estate market.

However, from that year on, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

First came the large-scale infrastructure construction, followed by the global financial crisis. The life of Red Forest Capital suddenly became sad, and the sites it had captured were lost one by one. Up to now, in 2013, it has set a record for seven consecutive years of capital investment. An astonishing record of negative growth in scale.

If it wasn't for Ji Cheng's penny-pinching and mending efforts to keep the basic profit, this capital group might even fall down directly.

Therefore, it desperately needs a proper project to save itself—and it just so happens that Ji Cheng sees such an opportunity.

Facing the people listening to the report in the conference room, he said confidently:

.So based on what we know so far, investing in Huaxia's space industry is definitely an unavoidable choice.

Of course, in the near future, we have also noticed some disturbing voices, the most critical of which are related to the technical cooperation between aerospace power and SpaceX, that is, matters related to LITV technology.

We consulted many scholars and technical researchers in this field, and conducted a careful investigation, and finally came to the conclusion that aerospace power probably did choose a wrong technical route.

After the voice fell, everyone in the meeting room talked about it.

This argument is obviously contrary to Ji Cheng's initial investment advice, so what is the significance of what he said?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ji Cheng smiled slightly.

Then he continued:

Everyone, don't worry.

We are all mature investors, so we must all understand a truth.

That is, the long-term trend of an investment target is often irrelevant to its short-term fluctuations, or even completely opposite.

And the opportunity in front of us is the most typical example.

Will aerospace power really fail completely because of a technical route error? Impossible?

The background that Huaxia has accumulated in recent years is enough for them to make one, two, or even dozens of mistakes recklessly.

Therefore, the future trend is extremely obvious, and they will definitely develop unstoppably upwards and to higher places.

But in the short term, they do face the risks posed by LITV technology.

And this is our opportunity.

With this opportunity, we can not only earn profits by shorting several key targets, but also enlarge our holdings through the secondary market after their prices have fallen to a low point, and even reach an acquisition.

You know it's impossible!

Ji Cheng was immediately interrupted by someone in the conference room.

The several aerospace targets we have seen are all officially controlled by Huaxia. Isn't it whimsical to want to form influence through the secondary market?

Hearing this, Ji Cheng retorted without hesitation:

I'm not talking about Aerospace Power, or any company that started with Aerospace.

It's those other companies that provide them with edge support.

For example, Jiangsu High-Tech, Feihong, Guangku, you know, Huaxia has a traditional strategy called encircling the city from the countryside.

This strategy is not only used in the field of warfare, in fact, its core runs through all large-scale projects and plans in China.

Including the mergers and acquisitions initiated by Huaxia White Gloves to a large number of American companies, they were actually carried out under the guidance of this strategy.

Isn't it? I want to ask everyone, have you ever seen Huaxia directly acquire Lockheed Martin, Boeing, or SpaceX?

If there were, they'd only taken a tiny, tiny, insignificant stake.

What they really attack are those 'parasitic companies' around the edge of giants. Such as LMS, such as Tesla.

If that's the case, why can't we adopt the same strategy as them?

Seize the initiative of the periphery, step by step, and then launch an attack on those huge subjects. Isn't this the best solution to achieve our ultimate goal?

In the conference room, everyone was lost in thought.

Yes, the most fundamental purpose of Honglin Capital is actually to control China's economic lifeline.

And since it is impossible to achieve the goal through direct means, as Ji Cheng said, it seems to be a good strategy to take steps at every step?

In just a few minutes, everyone present quickly made a choice.

They all raised their hands in agreement, and each hand also marked that a round of hunting for Huaxia Aerospace-related companies will officially start.
