Chapter 812 The Troubles of Listed Companies
At 7:30 in the morning, driving on the road, Feng Yiping couldn't believe that there was no traffic jam? This is the first time he went to work on a weekday in so many years in the capital without encountering traffic jams.
In the Autonet office, some people are still busy, because for the website to operate normally, a lot of equipment must be turned on, a lot of hardware must be maintained, and some things still need to be done in the company.
"Mr. Han, are you okay?"
"No problem," Han Fang, director of operations, was a little happy. "At least today, colleagues who work at home are working harder. Although the number of visits has increased by nearly 60% since last night, the website is still running smoothly,"
This is to be expected, not only because there are many people staying at home, and not only because there are many people who are bored, but at such a time, everyone thinks that private cars are the safest way to travel, and many people who have not bought a car They will plan to buy a car, but now they don't go shopping around the car market as usual. As the first professional car website in China, Car.com is naturally their first choice.
"Mr. Zhu personally leads people to maintain in the computer room, there will be absolutely no problem,"
"The better news comes from the marketing department. Since last night, more than ten dealers in the capital have contacted us to advertise on the website. Hehe, they are very refreshing. There is no price change, and the contract has not been signed yet. , the deposit was sent, and the most expensive advertising spaces are in short supply, look, how many are these," Han Hanfang said, pointing to a young brother who came to receive the courier in full gear.
In this special period, signing a contract does not need to be face-to-face.
"As long as the website is running normally, you can take turns to be on duty at the company,"
"No problem, Yiping, have you paid attention to the stock price? Since yesterday, there has been a significant increase," Han Fang said. This is what Han Fang is happiest about.
As the stock price rose, so did her options.
In the face of these emergencies, the fastest responders are not only the governments of various countries, but also financial institutions. After the press conference yesterday afternoon, not only Automobile.com, but also other domestic websites, because of the sharp increase in visits, their stock prices also rose.
"I think in this process, another 20% increase is no problem," Feng Yiping said.
"Really? Hehe, that's great!" Han Fangxi smiled.
The stock price of Automobile.com makes people happy, but the situation is not good for Feng Yiping's other listed company.
Affected by the country's comprehensive disclosure of the current situation of the SARS epidemic, last night, as soon as the U.S. stock market opened, Yijia's stock price fell sharply by nearly 6%. Market value of 2.5 billion RMB.
From the day when the first company went public, outside of his original job, Feng Yiping was prepared to face such a situation—normal or abnormal stock price fluctuations.
It is normal for the stock prices of these two companies to fluctuate at present, and there is no way for Yijia's stock price to fall at this stage.
Although in fact, Yijia's occupancy rate did not drop like a cliff, but in such an environment, foreign investors are definitely not optimistic about Yijia's prospects in the short term.
But it doesn't matter. Feng Yiping, who has been prepared for this, has set the release date of the first quarter financial report on the 25th of this month. That outstanding financial report will definitely greatly boost the confidence of those long-term investors.
As soon as he arrived at the office, before he had time to ask about what happened last night, he received a call from Michael Moritz of Sequoia Company. He was naturally happy to see the stock price trend of Autonet. , he was a little worried.
When it went public, out of recognition for Yijia, these VCs kept some of their shares, but on this day, nearly 10% of them evaporated. How could they sit still?
"Moritz, please rest assured that SARS cannot last for too long. You don't understand the efficiency of our country and the whole country when everyone is united in doing one thing. I predict that it will be no later than the third quarter at the latest. Victory in the fight against SARS, and by then, everything will return to normal, and the stock price will naturally recover," he said.
"Not later than the third quarter, are you sure?" Moretz was a little disbelieving.
After all, since the official release of the most accurate data yesterday, everyone can see that the domestic situation in the fight against SARS is not optimistic.
"I'm sure, although I don't know what the country will do, but I can be sure that soon, within a few days, our government will definitely make big moves,"
"Besides, if SARS continues to rage, and we have nothing to do with him, then there is no need to worry about these things, what do you think?"
Feng Yiping, who knew the future well, smiled heartily, but Moritz was not calm, "No, my God, I still hope that as you said, you will win this war as soon as possible,"
If a country, with the whole country working together, cannot cope with SARS, then SARS will definitely not be a national disaster, but will evolve into a global disaster. At that time, who will worry about these evaporating wealth?
"The financial report released three days later should increase the stock price to a certain extent, and I am also prepared to choose to increase my holdings at the right time,"
Feng Yiping's optimism, especially his decision to increase holdings, encouraged Moretz, "Since you are so confident, then we can rest assured,"
What is the best way to boost investors may be controversial, but increasing holdings by major shareholders is definitely a very effective one.
Feng Yiping really thinks so. If the stock price continues to fall sharply, then as a major shareholder, he can definitely increase his holdings. Anyway, Yijia's basic market is very good, and as long as it reaches the third quarter, after SARS, the stock price will definitely rebound. It can be sold for cash again, isn't that another income?
"Yiping, this is today's newspaper. What happened yesterday was also reported on the Capital Hotline website," Wu Qian knocked on the door and walked in.
Sure enough, the first "SARS case" was reported in newspapers and websites. Zhou Xinyu's public relations were effective. The newspapers or websites that reported the news spent a certain amount of time introducing Youjia, especially in the absolute When most companies and individuals are selling scarce supplies at five times the price, Youjia solemnly promises that they will absolutely insist on selling at a par price.
It's about turning bad things into good things.
The Capital Morning News said, "We visited several medicinal material markets yesterday afternoon, and many medicinal material dealers are busy raising prices. Experts in the industry predict that according to the extent of their price increases, their daily profits can easily make a millionaire.
In the face of the same event, the merchants' completely different handling methods are worthy of our deep thinking. "
As for the Pinlun area under the Capital Information Port, it has already reached thousands of floors. Most commentators believe that such a guy, if he is not given a heavy sentence, is not enough for the people to be angry.
However, this matter has nothing to do with Youjia now. The behavior of the troublemaker Zhang has violated the criminal law, and the public security and judicial organs will deal with him.
"The facts of this case are clear, and it will definitely be dealt with quickly. As for the sentencing, it will definitely be severe," Lawyer Ye told Feng Yiping.
"What kind of result might it be?" Feng Yiping asked
"The court should not punish the crime of robbery in the end. It may be the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble. Then, it should be about two years in prison,"
Feng Yiping didn't sympathize at all. Such guys, if they don't teach them a harder lesson, they don't know how powerful they are. I believe that the incidental consequence is that they generally won't cause trouble when someone doesn't open their eyes.
However, in the next few days, Feng Yiping saw the absurdity of reality, and various creative "SARS cases" were released one after another.
Raising prices is not a big deal, because if you buy something at a high price, it is still true, but someone actually sewed a napkin into an ordinary mask and sold it as a disinfectant mask.
In some places, in order to prevent the spread of SARS, the expressways passing through the village were actually dug up—not provincial roads, nor national roads, but expressways.
What's even more outrageous is that a college near the school received a threatening letter, which said, "If you don't give 100,000 yuan, I will put the masks of SARS patients in your school cafeteria."
Tsk, some people and things really have no lower limit.
However, our nation has always been a very optimistic nation that is good at making fun of suffering. As more and more people are isolated, more and more jokes are circulating on the Internet.
For example, someone summed up several ways to die during SARS, "Wearing a mask to smother you to death, burning you to death with smoked vinegar, poisoning you to death by drinking a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, scaring your colleagues to death when you get sick, crushing you to death for coughing in public, and scolding you to death for spreading rumors on the Internet." , came back from a business trip and died of depression in isolation, and suffocated to death at home with nothing to do,"
Under such a situation, everyone can still laugh when they see such jokes, which shows that we are really tough enough.
As Feng Yiping remembered, at dawn on the 23rd, the capital organized more than 4,000 construction workers from six large construction group companies to start construction of the Xiaotangshan SARS designated hospital.
On the 24th, the structure of the hospital is 30% complete, and the interior decoration starts. On the 25th, the structure is 60% complete, and the interior decoration is 30% complete.
It was also on this day that Yijia released its financial report for the first time. In the first quarter of 2003, Yijia achieved revenue of 178 million US dollars, exceeding the company's previous expectations. According to US accounting standards, the net profit was nearly 10% of revenue !
As soon as such a glittering financial report came out, Yijia's stock price rebounded slightly by 3.8% that day!
The venture capitalists on Shaqiu Road all warmly called Feng Yiping to thank him immediately.
On the 27th, the main project of Xiaotangshan Hospital was completed, on the 28th, the project was completed, on the 29th, it passed the inspection, and on the 30th, it was delivered for use.
Such a first-class infectious disease hospital with an area of 120 mu, a construction area of 25,000 square meters, and 1,000 beds took only 7 days. Following the speed of Shenzhen, we created another hospital in front of the world. A small Tangshan speed.
At the same time as the construction of the project, a large number of medicines and equipment purchases were completed. Some of the equipment was also purchased from overseas, and 1,200 medical workers also arrived as quickly as possible. The hospital was officially opened and accepted the first batch of 156 SARS patients, which is unimaginable in other countries.
The world has also felt China's determination to fight against SARS.
