There is such an investment company "Dingyifeng", for its loyal customers, it is a god-like existence. From the excuse of being nameless, to the stock price soaring 80 times in two years, the market value exceeded more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, this story is more outrageous than the novel, more mythical than the myth.
Sui Guangyi, the founder of "Dingyifeng", is known as the "innovative investment master of oriental traditional wisdom", and investors respect him as "master".
In the 1960s, Sui Guangyi was born into a rural family in the northeast, to a poor family.
Sui Guangyi recounted that after graduating from university in the 1980s, he first became a surveying engineer in the mining area, relying on technology to eat. Later, he went to Beijing to start a business, selling plasters for the treatment of skin diseases, and created a net worth of tens of millions from scratch. In the 1980s, he made a fortune by selling plasters.
Then, in the 1990s, he was coincidentally photographed by local leaders, from a grass farmer to the youngest vice mayor of Dunhua City, Jilin Province.
Sui broad sense
After that, he gave up his career and coincidentally met a master of capital in Southeast Asia. Since then, he has painstakingly delved into the study of Taoism and the techniques of capital operation, and studied the topic of combining Oriental tradition with modern investment science. The investment concept he created from the Tao Te Ching and the I Ching is called "Zen Yi Investment Method".
According to the introduction on the Dingyifeng website, it is another brand new investment method after the value investment method of buffett, the stock god, and the hedging investment method of financial giant Soros. "By paying attention to the overall interaction of heaven, earth and people, we interpret the overall changes in the financial market from the macro perspective of force, emptiness, time and heart... It can accurately predict various changes in financial investment, as well as changes in the macro situation such as international politics and society. ”
1. The most faithful believer and companion: Ma Xiaoqiu
The Securities Times once interviewed an employee surnamed Zhang of Dingyifeng and asked him: "How does your master usually study investment opportunities?" ”
The employee said, "Master is a cultivator with a very high moral character, and can sense things that ordinary people can't feel." Many of the company's industrial projects are that he uses dreams to interpret dreams and then operate them. ”
Sui Guangyi, using dreams to point out the direction of investment, leading people to get rich. With such a vision, Sui Guangyi gathered a group of loyal believers around him. Among them, the most loyal one, and the one with the longest time, is DingYifeng's current female chairman, Ma Xiaoqiu.
Ma Xiaoqiu was also a civil servant with an iron rice bowl in the 1980s. After the reform and opening up, she quit her job and went south alone to open a beauty salon in Hainan. After getting the problem of breast hyperplasia, I began to seek medical questions, mainly asking.
Ma Xiaoqiu
In 1998, Ma Xiaoqiu met Sui Guangyi in a Taoist temple in his hometown of Sichuan. On the first night of meeting Sui Guangyi, she actually dreamed of the solemn Puxian Bodhisattva. Since then, she has worshiped Sui Guangyi as a teacher, using the money she has saved from starting her own business to provide Master with food and drink for Master, and to take Master to travel and "invest".
For this reason, her husband divorced her, and her savings over the years were swept away, but she had no complaints or regrets. The last time Sui Guangyi spent Ma Xiaoqiu's money was when the two men worked together to buy lottery tickets. Sui Guangyi is responsible for counting numbers using the "Zen Yi Investment Method", and Ma Xiaoqiu is responsible for making lottery money. Ma Xiaoqiu said that in fact, at that time, they won the first prize several times, but they could not buy it by all kinds of yin and yang mistakes. Why? It may be that virtue is not enough, and even if it is calculated, it is not eligible for these bonuses.
In this way, Sui Guangyi and Ma Xiaoqiu, who were not virtuous enough, posted more than 400,000 yuan on the lottery ticket. Ma Xiaoqiu once again changed from a rich woman to a poor egg, and Sui Guangyi once again left her without a word, it is said that he went to the retreat.
Until 2011, Sui Guangyi finally came out of the mountains. This time, his virtue was finally enough, and the Zen Investment Method was finally completed. This year, he went to Shenzhen to find Ma Xiaoqiu, and the two of them joined hands to establish Dingyifeng. The name is taken from the "Ding Gua", "Yi Gua" and "Feng Gua" in the Sixty-Four Gua of Zhou Yi, which means great bearing capacity, inspiration and benefit force. In this way, they pulled up a web of believers.
2. From 1 million to 600 million, it's actually easy
The newly established Dingyifeng, if it relies solely on the mysterious eastern power, may not be able to expand its scale rapidly. But this time, Sui Guangyi had already attained enlightenment, and he had realized that if he wanted to attract a large group of people to follow him, he had to let them see the silver of the white flowers.
At the beginning of its establishment, the first batch of users of Dingyifeng were attracted by the ultra-high rebate of 96% per year. The initial investment of 10,000 yuan, at the end of the year can be recovered 9,066, the principal is still in a steady stream of profits, such a rate of return, who is not moved? After accumulating a certain number of customers, it slowly dropped to 36%, and then dropped to 15%.
But even then, it's much better than other money management. Investing in Dingyifeng is to take the money that can be earned by lending usury while enjoying the security comparable to bank wealth management.
Dingyifeng capital protection, although the sales staff in the peddling Dingyifeng products, said that you subscribe for equity, but if you look at the contract, that is to buy a fixed income, but also a fixed high income.
At the end of 2018, a financial reporter pretended to be an investor and learned about the product that Dingyifeng was selling at that time, which was the so-called "original equity" of the subsidiary, with an investment threshold of 300,000 yuan and a term of five years.
The equity dividend was 18% in the first year and 12% for the next four years. Not to mention, if the project is listed in the future, the value of the original shares will definitely double several times. So what if you want to quit after buying it? As long as you hold it for more than three years, you can apply for withdrawal, and the principal will be refunded to you in three years.
Such a model is really very exciting. When Dingyifeng was established in January 2011, the registered capital was only 1 million. Just after 3 months, the capital increased to 10 million. In June 2013, it increased to 100 million. In August 2014, it became another 460 million. In December 2017, it became another 580 million. The speed of this scale expansion is comparable to that of a snowball.
Although, it is still incomparable with some crazy gold-sucking P2P. However, P2P is through the Internet to advertise, and Dingyifeng still relies on offline slow development, can have such a growth rate, it is already quite rare.
With such a high yield, how did Dingyifeng achieve it? Speaking of capital preservation, even cattle funds do not dare to shout so, and now private equity funds, managers must go to the Asset Management Association for the record. In this fund management regulation, a very important article is that you can't say anything about capital preservation, promised returns, etc. in the product introduction.
Dingyifeng is not a fund manager, and the one it issued is not a fund, but the equity of the enterprise. The nature of the product is not the same.
But the problem arises again: the Securities Law stipulates that the issuance of securities to unspecified targets, or the issuance of securities to specific targets with more than 200 people, is a public offering of securities. The public offering of securities must meet the requirements stipulated by laws and administrative regulations and be reported to the securities regulatory authority under the State Council or the department authorized by the State Council for approval in accordance with the law; otherwise, no unit or individual may publicly issue securities.
So this Dingyifeng, do you have 200 customers? Does it count as a public offering? Is it an illegal public offering of securities? It should be known that the maximum sentence for issuing stocks or bonds of a company or enterprise without authorization is five years in prison.
In fact, after the investor signed the contract and paid the money, it seems that he did not really get the equity. Because in the industrial and commercial information of these subsidiaries, the number of shareholders is at most a few dozen people. Regulators have never come to the door, let alone the public prosecutor's office. Dingyifeng's scale continues to expand, life is getting more and more comfortable, and the chessboard is getting bigger and bigger.
3. How many steps does it take for the "immortal stock" to become a demon?
Since August 2015, the name of Ding Yifeng has begun to appear in the shareholder list of a 21 chapter company in Hong Kong stocks, China Investment Fund Corporation.
Chapter 21 companies originates from Chapter 21 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and is specifically aimed at investment firms. After the company is listed in Chapter 21, it can only do investment all the time, not industry, even if someone comes to the backdoor, it can only be invested after the backdoor is completed. Therefore, the stock prices of such companies are generally relatively low.
China Investment Fund Corporation, which sounds very bullish, is actually very rookie stock. The performance has been losing money for a long time, and the stock price has been hovering below HK$1 for a long time. The market calls such low-priced stocks "fairy stocks". A cent is a cent, which means that the price of the stock is too low.
It is said that the reason why Ding Yifeng chose it as a platform for capital operation is because one night Sui Guangyi dreamed of three words: "Ye Yili". After Sui Guangyi woke up, he counted the strokes of these three words, which were 6, 1, and 2. The stock code of China Investment Fund Company is exactly 00612. That's what God is hinting at him, buying this stock.
In short, Ding Yifeng has the care of heaven and acts without going anywhere. Ever since it began buying, then becoming the controlling shareholder, and renaming 00612 "China Dingyifeng", the price of the stock has begun to rise.
In January 2016, the stock price was still 30%4, and after more than two years had passed, by November 2018, the stock price had doubled, doubled again, doubled again... It has more than six times in total, breaking through HK$27, up nearly 80 times! It can be called the demon stock of the demon stock, the king of all demons.
The market value continues to increase, the trading volume continues to expand, rising and rising, and if you accidentally enter the Hong Kong Stock Connect, you meet the conditions of the Hang Seng Composite Index, and even enter the MSCI Global Standard Index. As soon as China Dingyifeng was included in the index, there was a lot more buying in an instant.
Over there index a buy, this side a cash, early follow Sui Guangyi and Ma Xiaoqiu, firmly holding Ding Yifeng original shares of investors, have made a fortune, as soon as ding Yifeng is mentioned, they fold their hands together, grateful for Master's Zen yi investment method, and take themselves to the road of getting rich.
4. Plunged 90% in a single day to $430 billion in daydreams
According to the Securities Times reporter's description of Ding Yifeng's morning meeting, at 9:30 every weekday, with the sound of background music, Sui Guangyi and Ma Xiaoqiu came from the main entrance, calmly and calmly. When the background music stopped, everyone stood up, shouted three times "Long live the Great People's Republic of China", beat drums, chime bells, and bowed and bowed to the statue of Lao Tzu enshrined. Stand and read half of the Tao Te Ching aloud, then sit down and recite the "Song of Righteous Qi" three times.
Then, Sui Guangyi began to preach the scriptures. As a person who works hard in the field of modern finance, his solid foundation in traditional Chinese studies and his familiarity with the I Ching culture and classics are really admirable. Behind every move taken by the group is a heavy cultural accumulation.
Everyone looked up at the Big Dipper, the east was the dragon, the west was the white tiger, the south was the Suzaku, and the north was Xuanwu. There are 7 stars in each direction, for a total of twenty-eight stars. Dingyifeng is like that Beidou, there will be 28 listed companies in the future, these companies will issue bonds around the world in the future, and each of them will be packaged into the world's top 500. Go public in the United States in three years, and a market value of $430 billion is not a dream!
Unfortunately, if it is a dream, there will always be a day to wake up. On March 8, 2019, China Dingyifeng was ordered by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission to suspend trading due to suspected market manipulation, and all related trading accounts were frozen. According to the report of Fan Yong, a former director of the company, Sui Guangyi transferred the money to Hong Kong, used the stock accounts of the members of the company to knock back and forth, pull up the stock price, and then distribute the interest to the shareholders after cashing out.
On January 23, 2020, after 10 months of trading suspension, China Dingyifeng resumed trading and plunged, falling by more than 90% at one point. As of the close, the share price was quoted at HK$2.1, with a total market capitalization of HK$2.597 billion.
5. The bonus of faith, the worm with the hundred legs dies and does not stiffen
A plunge has brought more attention to the company, which invests in the name of Taoism. Dingyifeng's reputation has even spread abroad.
The Financial Times of the United Kingdom wrote a short commentary on this matter, saying: "It is so happy to browse The website of Dingyifeng. And solemnly introduced the "Zen Investment Method", humbly said: "Honestly, we are quite sure that most Western investors use the Zen Investment Method when valuing small-cap Internet stocks." Hopefully, the CFA, the Chartered Financier Exam, can keep pace with the times and include it in the scope of the exam. ”
After The plunge in Dingyifeng's stock price, it has gradually stabilized, and even been hyped from time to time. In 2020, it also made a placement and raised more than HK$50 million. Ma Xiaoqiu is still active on various stages, cooperating with the local government, singing songs for the new crown with the singer, opening new book sales meetings, doing online live broadcasts, and singing the rap version of the Tao Te Ching in high heels.
Why is it that a company whose investment logic is full of loopholes and is like a Ponzi scheme can go so far?
The so-called background, backstage, and backers must be there. Willing to spend a lot of money to issue notices, hire sailors, delete negatives, there are also some. The rest: faith bonuses.
At the beginning of 2020, when the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission resumed trading, it said that it would launch legal procedures against relevant persons. But who are the people involved? Is there a real hammer for market manipulation? The CSRC did not explicitly state that until the end of 2021, it had not heard of the follow-up progress. Obviously, the evidence is hard to find.
Fan Yong, the original shareholder of Dingyifeng, said that Sui Guangyi is knocking and pulling up the stock price, but does Sui Guangyi still need to knock on the right? At the morning meeting, two sentences were shouted, and more believers, they went to Hong Kong stocks to lift the palanquin.
One of the motivations of these believers is the belief in money. Many customers do make money from it in the early stages; and employees have to pretend to be very convinced even if they don't believe in this job, for those commissions. However, what is more important here is the ethereal Taoist color behind Ding Yifeng.
Dingyifeng briefly filed a fund manager and issued a private fund. However, the yield of these publicly performing private equity funds is pitifully low, and some are even negative. They said, and they shared weal and woe with Master. If you lose money, then you should donate it yourself and accumulate blessings.
Perhaps, some investors are ready not to take the money back from the moment they give it to Master. If you can get it back, you earn it yourself. I was not able to get it back, I was able to participate in such a meaningful morning meeting, I made so many like-minded Daoist friends, I was recognized, affirmed, and I found inner peace and satisfaction.
