Chapter 592 Perfect Sniping

How much is a civil servant worth?

Seeing this question, civil servants will definitely feel it is an offense. Can the position given to us by the party and the state be measured by money?

Yes, at first glance, this question is really nonsensical. A public servant of the people cannot be measured by money. It can even be said that after slavery is abolished, literally no one can be used money to measure.

However, some ordinary people may not think how nonsensical this question is, and they will count their fingers seriously.

I don't go to many government agencies, so I don't know how much the office decoration of a civil servant costs. However, the car he got off costs more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands, plus various salaries and benefits, all kinds of wages and benefits. Welcoming and sending, business trips and investigations all over the country... So to a certain extent, this seems to be quantifiable.

…………

Mobile's passive inaction, for those traders, is too active to cooperate.

However, the stock price of China Mobile is still maintained at a level of more than 40 yuan, which is obviously not up to their requirements, so the third ring, which has been planned for a long time, is officially staged.

Before the market opened on the 24th, UBS Huabao, an investment bank under the UBS Group and one of the three major stock brokers in Hong Kong, suddenly spread heroic posts and invited all its clients to a meeting.

Li Ruiyuan was also one of them. He and several acquaintances walked into the press conference hall together. More precisely, it was a large conference room.

Different from the general press conference, there is a whole set of teleconferencing equipment on the conference table. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd? Li Ruiyuan asked the people sitting beside him, most of them were like him, a little confused.

There was only one fund manager who usually had a lot of information channels, and said confidently, "If I guessed correctly, it should be related to the stock that has been turbulent recently,"

"You mean to move?" Everyone reacted.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten,"

At 9:00, Mr. Zhang, the executive director of UBS Warburg and head of the China Research Department, showed up with several senior executives.

He was thirty-six at the time. He had worked in the central bank for five years before resigning to study in Australia. Since the mid-1990s, he has been in the Hong Kong securities circle and is known for his flamboyant personality.

Time was tight, and he didn't talk nonsense, "I'm sorry for wasting your precious time. I invite you all over here. We have some news to share with you,"

At this time, his assistant was already dialing the phone, and Mr. Zhang introduced, "The person we are contacting now is Mr. Qian Jinchao, a senior researcher at the Ministry of Information Industry,"

Everyone in the audience understood now that it really had something to do with China Mobile's share price.

"Hi Mr. Qian, I'm UBS Huabao Zhanghuaqiao, I'm sorry, I need you to introduce your identity,"

"Hi everyone, Mr. Zhang, I am Qian Jinchao, a senior researcher from the Ministry of Information Industry, and I am very happy to accept your interview,"

Researcher Qian on the other end of the phone, his Mandarin is not very standard, with some accent, he speaks slowly and steadily, although he is very polite, but the "official air" in his words can be heard by everyone present .

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Qian. I'm contacting you this time mainly because I want to ask you a question," Zhang Huaqiao asked, and the scene immediately fell silent.

"It's not enough to ask for advice, everyone can discuss it together," said Qian Jinchao on the other end of the phone.

"I'm sure you also know that there have been a lot of news in the market recently that mobile companies will start to implement one-way charging from January next year. I want to check with you on this question. Is it convenient for you to answer?"

The scene was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

"There's nothing wrong with this issue. The policy has already been decided. Sooner or later, it will be announced. In order to promote the active and prosperous development of the telecommunications market, according to our ministry's opinion and deployment, China Mobile will officially cancel two-way charges in January next year,"

As soon as this statement came out, the scene exploded, and finally heard the release of the official authoritative information. Many people immediately started calling without regard to politeness, and more people had already voluntarily left the venue.

Li Ruiyuan was still sitting there steadily. The company's current account only had funds to maintain the company's daily operations. He just wanted to do something, but he was powerless at this moment.

However, this news, of course, must be known to Feng Yiping, although Feng Yiping is now in Singapore, and he is on a very important matter, "Yiping, just now, officials from the Ministry of Information Industry have confirmed the rumors circulating in the market, "

"Understood," Feng Yiping only said a word before hanging up the phone. He is very busy now, unprecedentedly busy and unprecedentedly nervous.

UBS Warburg’s conference call has clearly pointed out the direction for investors, although some investors still have some doubts, “In the past, these big institutions have always been tightly covered when they have news. They will also spread some fake news to confuse the public, so as to maximize their own profits. What happened this time, did they actually want to bring everyone together to make money? If something goes wrong, it is a monster, so you still have to be careful."

However, for most people, the first thing after the opening of the market is to scramble to throw out the mobile stocks in their hands. Therefore, in just a few hours, the mobile stocks fell sharply by 7%!

When Feng Yiping returned to Hong Kong on the 25th, the sell-off was still going on, and it was very close to 40 yuan. It was slowly but firmly approaching the 39 yuan predicted by Credit Suisse First Boston.

However, on this day, Mr. Zhang from UBS Huabao jumped out again, but this time he clarified, "The remarks made by Qian Jinchao, a researcher from the Ministry of Information Industry yesterday, only represent his personal opinions."

At the same time, a more responsible newspaper also reported on the same day, "According to our verification, the researcher surnamed Qian in yesterday's conference call is not a researcher directly under the Ministry of Information Industry, but a researcher of a unit under the Ministry of Information Industry." .

It is impossible for a general researcher of a secondary unit to represent the Ministry of Information Industry, and it is impossible for such a researcher to announce such a major normal change.

UBS Warburg spread such false news, causing the stock price of China Mobile to plummet, what is the intention? According to expert analysis, this is likely to be another established arrangement for the public to cooperate with them in short selling mobile stocks. "

However, such news at this time can't change anything at all. If a senior official from the Ministry of Information Industry came forward, it might have some effect. However, the Ministry of Information Industry, like China Mobile, still did not take any measures at this time.

By the end of the week, the mobile stock fell to 39.6 yuan, which was infinitely close to the forecast of Credit Suisse First Boston No. 21, 39 yuan.

Their sniper plan was perfectly completed! Everyone has gained a lot!

Of course, these people knew that, on the whole, this was only the first step of the whole plan.

At this time, compared with the previous month, mobile stocks fell by 20%, and the market value lost 17 billion US dollars!

Now is not 14 years and 15 years, when the wealth of the richest man in the country is more than 17 billion US dollars, what does the 17 billion US dollars in 2000 mean? It means that the assets of the top 100 richest people in the Forbes Mainland Rich List this year are more than the combined assets.

At present, the country's foreign exchange reserves are less than 170 billion U.S. dollars. In the short period of more than 20 days, the market value lost accounted for more than one tenth of the foreign exchange reserves.

Such a huge loss finally made people unable to sit still, and the mobile and high-level officials finally made their voices heard.

Even the minister of the Ministry of Information Industry went to Hong Kong to clarify to large and small securities and fund companies, "My own statement represents the opinion of the Ministry of Information Industry. The one-way charging policy for mobile phones will not be implemented next year. Soon to be 2002,"

He also made a metaphor, "I am a chef, and I will definitely prepare some good dishes for everyone to enjoy, but everyone must be patient and don't go to the kitchen to look around!"

With such a direct statement from senior officials, China Mobile's share price subsequently rebounded.

This is what Feng Yiping has been looking forward to all the time. Feng Yiping, who has been paying close attention to it, is relieved even though he has confidence in his heart.

This time the matter was too big, so he couldn't help being careless.

With the minister returning to the capital, this matter seems to have come to an end. However, during this period, ordinary investors who have suffered losses will inevitably complain about China Mobile and related units, and the occurrence and handling of this incident also let the outside world see us The state-owned enterprises lack experience and are subjectively inactive when dealing with such ordinary and ordinary things.

So the question is, how much is a civil servant worth?

Because he bears the brand of the country, at a certain moment, a few words of a low-ranking civil servant might be worth billions of dollars!

Even if he is a failure, not a success.
