Chapter Forty-Seven: I Have the Inside Scoop
"You?" Chai Qing was stunned.
âīŧšīŊ īŊã â
"You know how to invest?"
"I know a little bit, but I don't know as much as you. Wu Mian smiled mysteriously and said, "But I understand the national situation, and I am also the most well-informed reporter." â
Chai Qing looked at him blankly, obviously not understanding what he meant.
"You have top-notch investment analysis skills, but that's not enough. Wu Mian said, "In this magical land, no matter how powerful an analyst is, he can't compare to the power of 'inside information'!"
Chai Qing was moved: "You mean...... Do you have 'inside information' on a particular stock?"
"Not one, it's several. I know everything about each one!" Wu Mian told the lies he had already thought of, "These are all clues that I have worked so hard to secretly find, and I was originally going to keep it for a scoop feature, but now, I want to use it to help you." â
Unexpectedly, Chai Qing shook her head resolutely: "Don't! Wu Mian, I know you are good to me, but it is illegal to use inside information to speculate in stocks, and I don't want you to ruin your career in order to help me." â
Wu Mian's heart moved slightly, this woman's heart is really good, in this situation, I am afraid that ordinary people have already begged him for help, as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw, and she repeatedly begged him for help, but she didn't want to involve him.
"You misunderstood, I don't want to help you directly speculate in stocks to make up for your losses, but to use the clues I have at hand to restore the confidence of the outside world in you!"
"Confidence?" Chai Qing was still at a loss.
"Yes, confidence is more important than gold. The main dilemma you face now is not only the loss of the sector you invested, but also the loss of confidence in the market. When the scandal broke out in the pharmaceutical company this evening, everyone was very concerned about your reaction to it, and as far as I know, several media outlets tried to contact you, but you lost contact, which caused rumors to fly quickly!"
Wu Mian said as he walked to the desk, turned on the computer to surf the Internet, and called up the popular replies of several local websites for Chai Qing to see.
The content is similar, revealing that Chai Qing once spoke at a financial forum to recommend the pharmaceutical sector, proving that she holds a number of pharmaceutical stocks and will definitely suffer heavy losses. By 11 p.m., most of the media had closed the deadline, and no reporter had been able to contact Chai Qing, and some people immediately claimed that she was likely to "run away and abscond", causing an uproar, and many retail investors who bought Huisheng China Fund fell into a panic and decided to redeem the fund immediately.
Chai Qing lowered her head in shame, like a child who had done something wrong: "On the forum, I sang too well about pharmaceutical stocks, and I was too full of words, and I didn't expect a scandal to break out in pharmaceutical stocks less than an hour later, I was stupid, I felt that I had lost all face, and I had an escape mentality, I just wanted to be quiet and calm down my emotions before I ......"
"Then you shouldn't have turned off your phone too. Wu Mian said with a little reproach.
"I ...... I didn't want to, but at that time, someone kept calling and harassing me, and I couldn't bear it anymore, so I turned off my phone. Chai Qing snorted.
"Who harassed you so much?" Wu Mian asked.
Chai Qing hesitated, blushing and told Wu Mian that person was Jin Guangsheng, a financial tycoon known as the "God of A-share stocks".
Kim Kwang-sang!
Wu Mian was moved. This is a thunderous and resounding name, and it is said that it made a fortune by speculating in A-shares. In the 90s, when A-shares were just starting, Jin Guangsheng bravely entered the market and earned his first pot of gold, and then he single-handedly founded the largest venture capital fund in China, specializing in "high-risk, high-return" investments, and made huge gains every time.
The most amazing thing is that during the period when A-shares plummeted from more than 6,000 points to more than 2,000 points last year, he was able to make a lot of money by using the method of gambling operation, and his net worth skyrocketed dozens of times, and he was known as the "real legend" in the stock market.
After Chai Qing was in trouble, Jin Guangsheng was the first to call her and offered to use a huge amount of money to pursue the private equity fund she was in charge of to help her stabilize the situation, but in exchange for her to be his lover forever.
Chai Qing naturally refused, and Jin Guangsheng changed his face instead, repeatedly threatening to mobilize large investors to join the sell-off, further putting her to death. She angrily reprimanded her, in exchange for a series of threats and phone harassment, and finally she had to turn off her phone and change to a temporary number to calm her ears.
In the hours from evening to night, Chai Qing tried to ask for help from several colleagues with whom she had a good relationship, but these people said that they could not help, which made her completely desperate. What's worse is that the loan shark creditor also called her home, claiming that she would repossess the last property she lived in next week, urging her to move within three days. She was discouraged, and then she had the idea of jumping off the building to commit suicide.
"Now I really realize that this world is always the icing on the cake of many people, and there are few people in the snow. You're the only one willing to help me. Chai Qing said with tears in her eyes, "You have saved my life, and the remaining problems, no matter how difficult they are, should be faced by myself." â
Listening to her tone, she didn't believe that Wu Mian was capable of making her "stand up again".
Wu Mian thought for a while and said: "I see that you are very familiar with the consumer sector, have you usually studied the 'Three Bulls' company?"
"Is that the 'three cows' who were involved in the poisoned milk powder scandal?" Chai Qing wiped away her tears and said, "I have done research, but it is not the focus of my attention." â
"If I tell you that tomorrow's stock price of 'Sanniu' will rise and fall as soon as the market opens, do you believe it?"
"It's hard to believe!" Chai Qing shook her head, "'Sanniu' has not yet gotten rid of the shadow of the poisoned milk powder scandal, and it would be good if it didn't go bankrupt, even if it fell too low, and there were funds to speculate and rebound, it was impossible to rise to the limit, and it would be almost the same if it rose by one or two percentage points at most." â
"yes? Hah, what do you think of '180 degrees'? It's the company that sells sporting goods. â
"Do you also want to speculate in stocks?" Chai Qing finally showed a smile, her snow-white and pink cheeks were pretty, "I'm willing to provide you with references...... But just listen to it, don't take it too seriously, I'm afraid that the wrong analysis will cause you to lose money. â
"It's okay, you can talk about it first. â
"I think the prospect of '180 degrees' is very good, and being designated as the exclusive sponsor of sportswear for this National Games last month will definitely be very helpful to the company's performance, and the stock price will rise by at least 10% by the end of the year. â
"If I told you that '180 degrees' will fall as soon as the market opens tomorrow, you won't believe it?"
Chai Qing nodded and looked at Wu Mian with suspicion: "You seem to be very confident in your prediction...... Do you really have any inside information?"
Wu Mian did not deny it: "I told you just now that no matter how powerful an analyst is, he can only lose in the face of 'inside information'." Whether my prediction is right, or your analysis is right, tomorrow morning at half past nine, we will know the answer. â
"I hope you're right, too. Chai Qing smiled bitterly.
"By the way, I want you to do one thing!" Wu Mian said in an ordered tone again, "You work hard tonight, go through all the information of blue-chip companies, and record the main points." â
"What?" Chai Qing was stunned.
"There are dozens of blue-chip companies, you can go online to see the latest announcements of each one, as well as related news reports, and you must read them all before half past nine tomorrow morning!" Wu Mian waved his hand, assigning tasks like a general.
"All blue-chip companies have to be analyzed, right? No problem. But one night is definitely not enough time......"
"You don't need to be very in-depth and detailed, as long as you have a general understanding and know the basic situation, you can do it. â
"Why? If you just skim it, you can't analyze any useful information. â
"It's okay!" Wu Mian took out his phone and looked at the time, "You just do what I say." Well, it's already half past one in the morning, and you have about eight hours left. I won't bother you, wash your face and clear your head, and start doing it at once! Don't think about anything, concentrate on getting things done, and I promise you'll get out of it because of it. â
At the end, he added: "Remember, tomorrow morning at half past nine to see the stock prices of 'Sanniu' and '180 degrees' to see if it is a limit or a limit." â
After saying this, Wu Mian got up to say goodbye and left in a hurry.
Walking on the street blown by the night breeze, his heart was filled with a hot fire, and his whole body was full of passion. Not only because he had obtained the girl he had pursued, but also because he had made up his mind to use all his strength to protect her! For this reason he had drawn up a very bold plan that, if carried out successfully, would help her get out of her predicament......
While thinking about the details of the plan, the phone rang. Wu Mian saw that the number was called by Qianrou, and he hurriedly answered.
"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry to bother you so late. You...... Have you slept?" came a soft voice, full of apologies.
"Not yet. I'm a night owl, how could I go to bed so early!" Wu Mian said casually.
"Well, then can you do me a favor? Duan Yu has to work overtime to make a special issue and can't take a break, I ...... I can only look for you. â
"Willing to help. What do you want me to help you with? â
"You go to the 'Night Prime' on Jiangbei Road to find me now, I'm in the VIP room No. 12. When you see me, you have to call me 'sister'! Remember, don't call me Mr. Yuan, call me 'sister' very loudly, and then urge me to go home!"
"What?" Wu Mian suspected he had misheard, "Call you 'sister'?"
"Yes. Alas, I was spending the night with a couple of clients who were desperately trying to pour me wine. Light Rou smiled bitterly, "I'm about to get drunk, and now I'm calling you quietly in the bathroom...... I hope you can help me out. Do you understand?"
Wu Mian heard the gentle words obviously slower than usual, presumably trying to control himself to stay awake. His mind raced, and he blurted out, "Is it a male customer?"
Qianrou said "um": "The president of 'Imperial Liquor', and the two vice presidents are all there. Hurry up, I'm afraid I won't last long...... I'm going to make a fool of myself!"
"Emperor Liquor" is a well-known red wine enterprise in Dongjiang Province, and it is also a major customer that Dongjiang Business Daily has just attracted not long ago. Apparently in order to consolidate the relationship, she had to go to socialize late at night.
If you think about it on your toes, those bastard executives must have bad intentions when they were pouring alcohol on a large scale. Although Qianrou was already alert, it was difficult to force her way out by "turning her face", so she asked him for help.
"I see. You wash your face with cold water and don't drink it anymore anyway. I'll be there right away!"
Wu Mian told Qianrou as he ran to the street and beckoned to stop a taxi.
