Chapter 67

This morning, Anshi Group's stock interface displayed the breaking news on various trading platforms, causing a stir within 10 minutes. On platforms like Tonghuashun Information, the label "good" accompanied the latest news, sparking a frenzy in the comment section.

The news of Tiansheng Capital raising the placard for Anshi Group became a major headline in the capital market. Lu Ming and Tiansheng Capital, already in the spotlight, surprised everyone by raising the placard for Anshi Group.

This unconventional move triggered confusion and speculation. Critics questioned Lu Ming's transition from a speculator to a long-term strategic financial investor, especially at the current stock price.

Media and industry influencers ridiculed Chaoyun Trust for entrusting 15 billion to Tiansheng Capital, only to witness such a showy operation. The prevailing sentiment was that Chaoyun Trust might be in panic.

Chaoyun Trust, though surprised, had no authority to interfere with Tiansheng Capital's operations. The outside world speculated on Anshi Group's reaction, but the senior management remained silent.

The broader market, however, received favorable reviews, acknowledging the bold move of increasing holdings in big blue chips.

Ten minutes after the market opened, a comprehensive change swept the entire market. Huge buy orders flooded hundreds of thousands of individual stocks as rescue funds were unleashed. Many stocks began recovering from the earlier limit-down prices, witnessing numerous daily limits.

Anshi Group's bidding results revealed a daily limit opening at 13.48 yuan. Rescue funds and Tiansheng Capital's placard couldn't intervene on this unprecedented day where Anshi Group experienced a daily limit for the first time this year.

However, Tiansheng Capital was restricted from increasing its holdings due to the "Securities Law," preventing major shareholders from doing so within three days after raising placards.
