Chapter Eighty-Five: Perfect Sniper

How much is a civil servant worth?

Seeing this question, civil servants will definitely feel that it is an offense, can the party and the state give us a position, can it be measured by money?

Yes, at first glance, this question is really nonsensical, the public servant of the people, obviously cannot be measured by money, and it can even be said that after the abolition of slavery, literally, no one can be measured by money.

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

I don't go to many government agencies, so I don't know how much it costs to decorate a civil servant's office, but when he gets off the car, he has to pay hundreds of thousands, plus all kinds of salaries and benefits, all kinds of ushers and sends, business trips and inspections all over the country...... So to a certain extent, this seems to be quantifiable.

…………

The passive inaction of the movement, for those traders, is too positive to cooperate.

However, the mobile stock price is still maintained at the level of more than 40 yuan, which obviously does not meet 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 Warbo, an investment bank under the UBS Group and one of the three major stockbrokers in Hong Kong, suddenly made a heroic post, inviting all its clients to a meeting.

Li Ruiyuan is also one of them, he and a few acquaintances walked into the press conference hall together, more precisely, this is a large conference room.

What is different from ordinary press conferences is that on the conference table, there is a complete set of teleconference equipment, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd? Li Ruiyuan asked the people sitting next to him, most of them were like him, a little confused.

There is only one fund leader who usually has a lot of news channels. "If I'm not mistaken, it should have something to do with the stock that has been in turmoil recently,"

"You mean move?" everyone reacted.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten,"

9 o'clock sharp, executive director of UBS Warburg. Mr. Zhang, who is also the head of China Research, appeared with several senior executives.

He was Chinese New Year's Eve at the time, had 5 years of work experience in the central bank, and then resigned to study in Australia, and since the mid-90s, he has been mixed in Hong Kong's securities circle, and is known for his personality in the circle.

Time was tight, and he didn't talk nonsense. "I'm sorry for the delay in your precious time, but I have you all here, we have some news to share with you,"

At this time, his assistant was already dialing the phone, Mr. Zhang introduced. "We are now in contact with a senior researcher from the Ministry of Information Industry. Mr. Chijin Chao,"

Everyone in the audience now understands that it is really related to the mobile stock price.

"Hello Mr. Qian, I am UBS Huabao Zhanghuaqiao, I'm sorry, I need to introduce your identity. ”

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

The thousands of researchers on the other end of the line. Mandarin is not too standard, with some accents, the speed of speech is very slow, very steady, although very polite, but the "official" in the words, everyone present can hear it.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Qian, I contacted you this time, mainly because I have a question I want to ask," Zhang Huaqiao asked, and the scene immediately quieted down.

"I can't talk about it, we can discuss it together," said Qian Jinchao on the other end of the phone.

"As you must know, there has been a lot of news in the market recently that mobile companies will start to implement one-way charging from January next year.

The scene was so quiet that you could hear the pins dropping.

"On this issue, it's nothing, the policy has been decided, and sooner or later it will be announced that in order to promote the positive and prosperous development of the telecommunications market, according to the opinions and deployment of our ministry, in January next year, mobile will officially cancel two-way charging,"

As soon as this remark came out, the scene was shocked, and finally heard the release of official authoritative information, many people did not care about politeness, and immediately started calling, and more people have taken the initiative to leave.

Li Ruiyuan is still sitting there steadily, the company's current account, only the funds to maintain the company's daily operation, he just wants to make any moves, and he is powerless at this time.

However, this news, of course, still has to let Feng Yiping know, although Feng Yiping is now in Singapore, and he is doing something very important, "Yiping, just now, an official from the Ministry of Information Industry has confirmed the news circulating in the market,"

"Got it," Feng Yiping just said one sentence and hung up the phone, he was very busy now, unprecedentedly busy, and unprecedentedly nervous.

UBS Warburg's conference call clearly pointed out the direction for the majority of investors, although some investors still have certain doubts, "In the past, these big institutions, with the news, have always been tightly covered, maybe they will spread some fake news to confuse the public, so as to maximize their profits, what is wrong this time, do you want to take everyone to make money together?

However, for most people, the first thing after the market opens is to scramble to throw the mobile stocks out of their hands, so 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 continuing, and it was very close to 40 yuan, slowly but firmly, approaching the 39 yuan expected by Credit Suisse First Boston.

However, on this day, Mr. Zhang of UBS Huabao jumped out again, but this time he made a clarification, "The remarks made by researcher Qian Jinchao of 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 was not a researcher directly affiliated with the Ministry of Information Industry at all, but a researcher from a subordinate unit of the Ministry of Information Industry."

It is impossible for an ordinary researcher in a second-level unit to represent the Ministry of Information Industry, and it is impossible for such a major normal change to be announced by such a researcher.

According to expert analysis, it is very likely that this is another established arrangement for the public to cooperate with them and short sell mobile stocks. ”

However, at this time, such news could not change anything at all, and if it was personally brought forward by a senior official of the Ministry of Information Industry, it might still have some effect, but the Ministry of Information Industry, like the movement, still did not take any measures at this time.

By the end of the week, mobile stocks had fallen to $39.6, infinitely close to Credit Suisse's estimate of $39 for First Boston 21.

Their sniper plan was perfectly completed!

Of course, these people know for themselves that this is only the first step in the whole plan.

At this time, mobile stocks fell 20% compared to the previous month, and lost $17 billion in market value!

Now is not 14 or 15 years, when the assets of the richest man in China are more than $17 billion, but $17 billion in 2000, what does it mean? It means that the assets of the top 100 richest people in this year's Forbes list of mainland richest people add up.

At present, the country's foreign exchange reserves are less than $170 billion, and in the short period of more than 20 days, the market value lost accounts 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 finally made their voices heard.

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

He also made an analogy, "I'm a chef, and I'm sure I'll prepare some good dishes for everyone to enjoy, but everyone should also be patient and don't run into the kitchen to look around!"

With such a direct statement from a senior official, Mobile's stock price then recovered.

This is also what Feng Yiping has been looking forward to, Feng Yiping, who has been paying close attention, although he has a bottom in his heart, he is still relieved.

This time it was too big for him to be careless.

With the minister's return to the capital, the matter seems to have come to an end, however, during this period, ordinary investors who have suffered losses will inevitably have complaints about mobile and related units, and the occurrence and handling of this incident has also allowed the outside world to see our central enterprises, in dealing with such ordinary, ordinary things, lack of experience, and subjective inactivity.

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

Because he is holding the national brand, at a certain moment, a civil servant of a low level, a few words from him, if he doesn't do it well, it is worth billions of dollars!

Even if he is a failure, not a success. (To be continued.) )
