Zhang Qingxue walked back to the coffee table, sat down, and opened his notebook.
"I discussed this matter with Lin Shicheng. He gave two plans."
Zhao Chen leaned on the sofa and motioned for her to continue.
"The first option is to apply for a visa extension.
Submit Form I-539 to Immigration and Naturalization Service in the territory of United States to apply for extension of the B1/B2 stay period.
Lawyer Lin said that if you apply for an extension for business reasons, the probability of being approved is not low.
But the problem is - the review period is very long, usually three to five months.
During the trial period, we can legally stay in United States, but once we leave the country, the extension application will automatically be invalidated.
Moreover, if the extension is refused, we must leave the country immediately after the visa refusal notice is issued without any buffer."
Zhao Chen thought for a while. "Three to five months? We don't need that long. Two weeks at most is enough."
Zhang Qingxue nodded. "So Lawyer Lin recommends the second option."
Zhao Chen Waiting for her to continue.
Zhang Qingxue said, "The second option is to leave the country and then re-enter. United States The period of stay for the visa is calculated separately for each entry.
As long as we leave United States before March 9, go to Canada or Mexico for a few days, and then re-enter, the customs will give us a new stay period, usually two weeks."
Zhao Chen tapped his fingers twice on the armrest of the sofa. "Is this plan feasible?"
Zhang Qingxue said, "Lawyer Lin said it is feasible. Canada and Mexico both have entry facilitation policies for United States visa holders.
From United States to Canada, as long as the visa is within the validity period, there is no need to apply for an additional Canada visa.
If you stay in Canada for two or three days and then fly back to New York from Toronto or Vancouver, the customs will recalculate the period of stay.
By doing this, we can gain another two weeks."
Su Wantang asked next to him, "Will repeated entry and exit attract the attention of the customs?"
Zhang Qingxue said, "Lawyer Lin said that entering and leaving the country once in a short period of time is a normal business trip and will not attract special attention.
But if you repeat it many times, you will be targeted. So we only do it once, transfer it back from Canada, and gain two more weeks, which is enough to complete the increase."
Zhao Chen thought for a while and asked again, "If the customs asks us what we are doing in United States, what should we say?"
Zhang Qingxue opened the notebook and pointed to the paragraph above.
"Lawyer Lin gave a standard saying-'Business inspection, meeting potential partners, and evaluating investment opportunities'.
You can't say 'stock trading' or 'managing funds'. These words can easily arouse the customs' alert. Business inspection is the safest way to say it."
He was indeed negligent regarding the visa.
Before I came here, I just wanted to get things done as soon as possible and didn't calculate the time window clearly.
Fortunately, Zhang Qingxue thought of it, and Lin Shicheng also gave a plan.
He turned around and looked at Zhang Qingxue.
"Then the second plan. Around March 7, we will fly Toronto.
Wait for two days and re-enter before March 9th. This recalculation of the stay period is enough for us to complete the increase in holdings."
Zhang Qingxue Write down this arrangement in your notebook.
"Then I will confirm the specific operational details with Lawyer Lin tomorrow. Flights, hotels, and ports of entry all need to be planned in advance."
Zhao Chen nodded. "Let Lawyer Lin arrange it. He is familiar with these processes."
Zhang Qingxue closed the notebook and stood up. "Then I will go back to the room first. Contact Lawyer Lin tomorrow morning."
Zhao Chen nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Zhang."
March 6, Tuesday, New York.
The accumulation of Era Vanguard has entered the fourth day.
Zhang Qingxue's daily operation rhythm has been very stable - the first batch is bought half an hour after the opening, the second batch before midday, and the third batch before the close.
500,000 to 700,000 shares every day, no more, no less, like a precision-operating machine.
A total of 2.9 million shares were purchased, bringing the total shareholding to 11.9 million shares, accounting for 7.08% of the total share capital of Tesla.
But the market is starting to take notice.
On Tuesday afternoon, an inconspicuous news message appeared on Bloomberg Terminal:
"Tesla appeared on the market continuously Buying Pressure. In the past three trading days, a cumulative net purchase of approximately 2 million shares was made. The identity of the buyer is unknown."
This news did not cause much disturbance, but traders who watched the market every day had already smelled something unusual.
After the market opened the next day, Zhang Qingxue placed the first buy order as usual - 300,000 shares, with a price limit of 273 US Dollar.
Three minutes later, the transaction was completed.
But this time, the buying orders were not quietly submerged by the selling orders as they had been in the past few days.
The price stayed at 273 US Dollar for less than a minute and started to move upward.
273.2,273.5,274.
Someone is following the order.
Zhang Qingxue frowned and was not in a hurry to place the second order.
She stared at the handicap data on the screen. The selling orders were still thick, but Buying Pressure was obviously more active than the previous few days.
This is not the kind of panic buying, but someone is tentatively building a position.
"Xiao Chen," Zhang Qingxue turned his head, "Someone has followed the order. The amount is not large, but the rhythm is obvious."
Zhao Chen stood up from the sofa and walked to the screen.
He glanced at the handicap and then at Trading Volume.
The daily average of Trading Volume in the first four days was about 10 million shares, of which Era Vanguard contributed 5% to 7%.
This ratio is not high, but in a continuously declining market, continuous net buying is like dropping pebbles one after another on calm waters.
The ripples have spread.
"Where is the selling order?" Zhao Chen asked.
Zhang Qingxue said, "The selling order is still very thick.
But the price is going up, which means that the sellers are waiting and watching - they see someone taking it, so they are not in a hurry to sell it."
Zhao Chen nodded. "Continue to buy. According to the original plan."
Zhang Qingxue placed a second buy order for 200,000 shares, with a price limit of 274 US Dollar.
The transaction was completed. The stock price was pushed to 274.5.
Then, something strange happened.
The third buy order has not yet been placed, and the stock price has begun to rise on its own.
274.8,275,275.3. Someone is jumping the gun.
Zhao Chen looked at the slowly rising number on the screen, his expression unchanged.
He knew this day would come sooner or later.
Continuous net buying cannot go undetected forever. Wall Street traders are not blind, they can see abnormalities in the market.
The only difference is how they interpret the anomaly.
During lunch time, a CNBC midday commentary program began to discuss Tesla.
Host Carl Quintanilla's opening remarks were straightforward:
"Tesla has appeared continuously Buying Pressure in the past four trading days, with a cumulative net purchase of more than 2 million shares.
Who is buying? Why? We invite guests to discuss."
The first guest was Wedbush analyst Dan Ives. His judgment was cautious:
"From the market perspective, this is not the behavior of retail investors. Retail investors will not buy at a fixed time every day for four consecutive days.
This must be an organization. But who it is, I still can't see clearly."
The second guest was CNBC commentator Jim Cramer. His tone was much more decisive than Ives:
"I'll tell you who's buying - it's 'Era Vanguard'.
The fund that made 8 billion US Dollar on Bitcoin bought 9 million shares in January and is now on Add Position. They have never left."
The host asked, "How are you sure it is 'Era Vanguard'?"
Cramer said, "Because they are the only ones with the guts. Now everyone in the market thinks Tesla is going bankrupt, and only 'Era Vanguard' is bullish."
They didn't sell at 360 US Dollar in January, and now they continue to buy at 270 US Dollar. This is not bargain hunting, this is a declaration of war."
Some people in the guest seats laughed, and some shook their heads.
But no one objected.
