On January 9, the hit drama "Flowers" ushered in the finale, Tencent's popularity value exceeded 31,000, and more than ten related topics also appeared on Weibo hot searches.
In the finale, the protagonist Bao always turned the corner with the help of Li Li, got rid of the risk of bankruptcy, and walked out of the Peace Hotel to return to the identity of "Bao". In this situation, Li Li also fell into memory:
A mysterious boss "Mr. A", who has never appeared throughout the story, stands on the beach, says to him, "Let's go, forget everything you should forget", and then jumps into the sea. And Li Li collapsed and cried in the car.
Since Mr. A's experience story was not developed in detail in the play, some viewers guessed based on the details and clues, maybe he was Mr. Bao played by Hu Ge, or Mr. Bao's brother.
And back to real life, Mr. A may also have a prototype, he is "the No. 1 bookmaker in New China" Lu Liang.
"Mr. K", the king of stock evaluation, and "Mr. A", the king of Shenzhen A-shares
Lv Liang, formerly known as Lv Xinjian, was born in 1956 and is very good at writing and drawing.
In 1988, he published the novella "National Fortune" in the magazine "Harvest", of which Ba Jin was the editor-in-chief, which was well received by readers and literary critics.
In the early 90s, when China's capital market kicked off, Lu Liang turned to financial writing, going to Shenzhen to report on the hot new stock speculation at that time. With the special article of "Millions of Shareholders "Speculating in Shenzhen"", Lu Liang became famous in one fell swoop and officially entered the market.
In 1996, Lu Liang ran out of ammunition and returned to writing again. He established "Mr. K's Studio", known as "Mr. K's Strategic Investment", engaged in consulting, directing investment operations, and published stock reviews in the name of "Mr. K".
The meaning of "K": one is the ** chart, and the other is the king on behalf of the king, that is, the "king of stock evaluation".
This is similar to the name of Mr. A in the play, and Mr. A is also the "king of Shenzhen A shares".
Closer to the turbulent market, opportunities and dangers also come.
In 1998, a famous bookmaker in Shenzhen, Jin Zhu Huanliang, found Lu Liang and asked him to help him untie the Kangdal** in his hand.
Kangdal is a domestic chicken enterprise, and Zhu Huanliang once used nearly 200 million yuan to control more than 90% of the circulation, hoping to make a big profit on the concept of "Hong Kong's return". Unexpectedly, a Hong Kong chicken plague triggered the stock price.
For cooperation, the two hit it off. Lv Liang signed a contract with a group of ** business departments to organize funds to take over 50% of Kangdal's outstanding shares, and Zhu Huanliang cooperated with long-term lock-ups.
After that, Lu Liang acquired Kangdal 3461% of the state-owned shares, which in turn control the company.
After asset restructuring, Kangdal "transformed" into a biopharmaceutical and high-tech enterprise, and officially changed its name to "Zhongke Entrepreneurship" in December 1999.
With these operations, Lu Liang began to buy and sell in the capital market, and reversed his positions.
As for the details of its operation with the ** hand, it is recorded as follows:
For example, to determine that the price is 30 yuan, the first hand will be given to the two business departments that hold Zhongke Entrepreneurship ** and funds, the same amount, **the same, a business department buys, and a business department sells. Ding Fugen and I took a ** in one hand, and said to both sides at the same time, if there are 50,000 shares, one side will throw it and the other side will buy it.
In the play, Qiang Mujie reversed his position, and he also gave an order from each of his left and right hands, which restored this scene.
Lv Liang borrowed the influence of "Mr. K" to continue to sing long, and funds rushed to be the first, quickly pulling up the stock price of Zhongke Venture. At the end of 1998, Kangdal's share price was around 17 yuan. In February 2000, it had reached 84 yuan shares.
In the play, Mr. A is good at using leverage to leverage the market, and he is a powerful figure in the capital market.
Betrayed by allies, the world disappears
After the success of Zhongke Entrepreneurship, Lu Liang's ambition swelled even more.
It has a number of companies such as Zhongxi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Luyin Investment, Laigang Co., Ltd., Suibao Thermal Power, Shengli Co., Ltd., etc., constituting the "Department of Chinese Science and Technology", and expects to concoct more "Zhongke Entrepreneurship" by sitting in the bank.
Unfortunately, the unexpected came. The early partner Zhu Huanliang "defected", ruined the agreement of long-term positions, sold **, cashed out about 1.1 billion yuan and then absconded abroad. This led to the collapse of the Chinese science department.
On the other hand, the executives of Beijing Zhongke were investigated because of the rat warehouse, and the internal self-examination of the Chinese Science Department triggered a large-scale liquidation.
Under internal and external troubles, in December 2000, the crisis of the Chinese Academy of Sciences broke out in an all-round way, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Entrepreneurship fell for 9 consecutive days, and other ** was also fluctuated, and the market value of 5 billion yuan disappeared, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences collapsed.
Similar episodes are also shown in the play. According to Li Li's point of view, Qiang Mujie, who co-founded Nanguotou with Mr. A, was jealous of Mr. A and had secretly calculated against him. This may have influenced the direction of Mr. A's story.
In addition, after the clothing company went public, Mr. Bao wanted to raise funds to hold shares. And Qiang Mujie made a hindrance, so that Lin Tai and Ningbo wealthy businessmen withdrew their capital from the clothing company, and Xiguo Investment was also ready to force liquidation. This made Mr. Bao encounter unprecedented challenges.
In the play, Mr. Bao and Li Chi helped, but Lu Liang was not so lucky.
After completely losing power, Lu Liang made an appointment with Yang Lang, editor-in-chief of the Financial Times, and blew up the beginning and end of Zhuang Zhongke's business. This is a bookmaker's monologue that is unique in the history of A-shares.
On February 3, 2001, Lu Liang was arrested.
Miraculously, just after the Spring Festival that year, Lu Liang, who had been placed under residential surveillance by the public security organs, suddenly disappeared.
It is alleged that Lu Liang has been living in Building 5 of Beichen Garden Villa next to the Olympic Park. On the day he disappeared, he put on a military coat, took a taxi, and disappeared in the fog at 4 a.m.
Since then, there have been rumors that he absconded and committed suicide, and his traces are mysterious.
It was not until February 2023 that Li Delin, a ** person, said that Lu Liang had already driven to the west, which could be regarded as the end of the story of the "first generation of A-share bookmakers". He also revealed that Lu Liang, under the pseudonym "Guzi", wrote his last book "Chinese Dream" in 2008.
Back in the play, Mr. A was also "nowhere to be found" after the failure of manipulation because the leverage was too large, and it was not revealed until the finale.
Conclusion
In "Flowers", the description of Mr. A has always been vague. In this relatively realistic play, perhaps Mr. A is also a synonym for those characters who call for wind and rain on A-shares. As Mr. K, who brewed the "first case in China", is just one of the corners.
Now, Mr. A has come to an end with the end of "Flowers", and Lu Liang's story has come to an end. But players in the capital markets continue their stories. As the protagonist Bao said: "* is a besieged city, buying and selling is because the people outside want to get in, and the people inside want to come out." ”
