小米史上最大规模减持 单从形式上看，林斌的减持安排并不算激进。 公告现实，自2026 年 12 月起，每 12 个月减持金额不超过 5 亿美元，累计不超过 20 亿美元。分期执行的"慢动作"，显然是为了规避一次性抛售对二级市 场的剧烈冲击。即便减持完成，林斌仍持有小米约 17% 的股份，并不构成实质性的"清仓离场"。 如果这只是一份财富管理说明书，它理性且标准。但资本市场从不看你留下了多少，只看你拿走了多少。 这20亿美元（约合156亿港元）的套现，是小米上市以来前所未见的： 2019年，晨兴资本减持套现 22 亿港元； 2021年，高通减持套现 11 亿港元； 2024年6月，林斌曾小试牛刀套现 1.79 亿港元。 此次减持规模，是林斌半年前那次套现的87倍，也是小米上市以来首次由核心创始团队系统释放"长期套现"信号。 市场关注度和情绪剧烈波动，不难理解。如果说此前的财务投资人离场是"落袋为安"，那作为二号人物的林斌套现离场，就很容易在社媒评论区里看到类 似直白的潜台词："宁愿成立投资公司去外面看机会，也不想再赌小米的未来。" 减持的时机，也相当微妙。 仅公告前一交易日，小米完成连续第4 日股份回购，累计回 ...
