Chapter 53: A Magical Prediction
Wu Mian paid for the car and walked into the hotel and came to the small conference room that had been booked before.
More than 20 reporters from more than 10 media outlets have already come to the room, all of them are talking about it. Wu Mian greeted his peers and found a place to sit down.
At ten o'clock, Chai Qing entered the conference room from the side door on time and sat behind the podium.
The reporters held up their cameras together, and the spotlights flashed.
"Hello friends from the press. Chai Qing smiled and waved her hand.
She has put on light makeup, skillfully concealed the dark circles under her eyes, and the eyes shot out behind the lenses are sober and free, and she doesn't look like she has the slightest "suicide attempt", and she has completely recovered her self-confidence and composure as a female executive in the financial industry!
"I know you have a lot of questions for me, please rest assured, I will answer them one by one, and I will not shy away from them. However, before I ask a question, I would like to play a little game with you. This little game is very fun and fun, and everyone is guaranteed to enjoy it. ”
This opening remark was quite surprising, and the reporters all showed interested expressions, but the professional habits made everyone calm down and quietly waited for Chai Qing to continue.
"This game has something to do with my old job. I will analyze the movements of 10 stocks on the spot and make predictions about the closing price range of these 10 stocks this morning, and I am confident that the accuracy rate will be at least 70%. If I don't achieve this result, I will immediately resign as the investment director of Huisheng China and retire from the financial world forever!"
These words were thrown loudly, and the reporters were in an uproar, and they all became excited, sat up straight, and listened more attentively to what was going on.
Wu Mian secretly gave Chai Qing a thumbs up and praised her for her excellent performance, which successfully attracted the attention of her peers at the beginning.
Chai Qing became more confident under his encouragement, and continued to speak lightly: "However, which ten stocks to choose for analysis? If I pick them all by myself, I'm afraid some people will wonder if I have colluded with these ten companies to manipulate stock prices to deceive everyone." If you ask some of your journalist friends to pick the company, others may suspect that I bought it. Hehe, so, I want to take the live lottery method to play this game. ”
As she spoke, she waved, and a staff member hurriedly walked over with a cardboard box.
"Please pick a big company, write the name of the company on a slip of paper, and put it in this cardboard box. The staff drew lots on the spot, and I predicted the stock price trend of those ten companies. This ensures that the game is absolutely real, not a fake!"
Reporters applauded one after another, and their interest grew stronger. Since there were only about 20 reporters on the scene, there was almost a one-in-two chance of being selected, so everyone was eager to participate, and each tore down a piece of paper to write.
Wu Mian raised his voice and said, "Is it true?
"Of course not, I'm not done yet. Chai Qing sang and sang very tacitly, "There are thousands of listed companies, and no matter how good I am, I can't study them all." Usually, I study large companies with large market capitalization and the most representative industries...... Well, for the sake of simplicity, please choose from any of the blue chips. Within this range, you can pick any one!"
And so it was settled. Reporters worked in groups of three or five to make sure they were writing about different blue-chip companies. After writing, the paper was folded into a uniform shape and placed in the cardboard box handed by the staff.
At ten o'clock, the draw began. Under the gaze of more than 20 pairs of eyes, the staff reached into the carton and pulled out the first note, unfolded it and read: "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China!"
Chai Qing smiled: "Wow, the first one is the world's largest bank." If I make a mistake in my prediction and have a negative impact on ICBC, I wonder if I will be blacklisted by customers?"
The reporters laughed. Wu Mian looked at Chai Qing with more appreciative eyes. At this moment, she and the woman who was hesitating and crying last night are simply two people.
"Okay, let's get down to business, let me first analyze the prospects of ICBC. Chai Qing said calmly, "To put it simply, ICBC is currently facing many unfavorable factors, first of all, Goldman Sachs has sold ICBC in the H-share market for the fifth consecutive year, causing a lot of speculation, and secondly, its non-performing loans have been on the rise in the latest quarter, and the spread income will further narrow, which will affect the profitability of this year......
While talking, she paid attention to Wu Mian's movements with the corner of her eye.
I saw Wu Mian holding a red ballpoint pen in his right hand, and he was making a gesture of bowing his head, but his left hand did not hold down the notebook, but supported it on the side of his cheek, and secretly made a "six" gesture.
This is the code that the two parties agreed on when they talked on the phone in the taxi!
Red, indicating that the stock price will rise.
Chai Qing immediately changed her words: "Although ICBC has a lot of hidden worries in the long run, it can still win the favor of institutional investors in the short term by virtue of its status as a state-owned bank." I predict that ICBC will continue to be sought after by funds in the morning today, and its stock price will rise by about 6 or 7 percent. ”
The reporters all took the pen and wrote down the data. Then, at Chai Qing's signal, the staff reached into the carton and pulled out the second note.
The company selected this time is China Shenhua.
Chai Qing still analyzed the company's long-term prospects first, and quietly observed Wu Mian's gestures as he spoke. This time, he changed to a blue ballpoint pen to take notes, and made a "four" gesture with his left hand.
Blue, which means that the stock price will fall.
“…… I predict that China Shenhua's share price will fall, at least three percent at the end of the morning session, but not too much. Well, it should be in the range of three to five. ”
In this way, ten companies were drawn one by one. Chai Qing analyzed and commented on them one by one based on the information prepared by the overnight "homework", and made a stock price forecast.
According to Wu Mian's instructions, the increase and decline she said were only in the approximate range, and the upper and lower ranges were between one and two percentage points.
The reporters frowned at the hearing, and at least half of them were very professional financial reporters. They have interviewed many well-known stock commentators and analysts, and they have never seen anyone dare to narrow the forecast range to such a narrow extent as Chai Qing.
Many people sighed in their hearts, thinking that Chai Qing had made the mistake of yesterday at the financial forum again, and was too full of words, which was tantamount to completely cutting off his own back road, which was really unwise.
But Chai Qing has always been calm and composed, in order to control the time, she tried to be as concise as possible, and the analysis and prediction of each company were completed within one and a half minutes, plus the time of the draw, a total of less than two minutes.
By half-past ten, all the forecasts of the ten companies had been negotiated. Chai Qing took a sip of water to moisten her throat, smiled and stood up to announce the end of the game.
"I know you must think I'm overconfident and skeptical of the accuracy of my predictions. I guess let the facts do the talking. After an hour, everyone knows the results. Now I want to take a break and have morning tea in the restaurant, and I'll be back at half past eleven to answer your questions. ”
After speaking, she walked out of the conference room with unhurried steps.
This arrangement once again surprised the reporters, and everyone didn't react for a while, and only came back to her senses after she left, muttering suspiciously, unable to guess what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
Reporters are also skeptical about the morning market changes of the ten stocks she predicted, believing that it is unlikely to achieve an accuracy rate of 70%. Some online media reporters even opened their laptops and began to write, with the headline "Chai Qing predicted the stock price to try to save market confidence, but the results were not as good as expected and tearfully withdrew from the financial world." ”
Only Wu Mian was amused in his heart, knowing that Chai Qing would definitely be able to meet the standard. Of course, he also pretended to be disapproving on the surface, and casually echoed the statements of several peers around him, so as not to attract the attention of others by being unique.
In the following time, reporters wrote and chatted, and most of them used their laptops to surf the Internet every few minutes to observe the trend of the ten stocks at any time.
Wu Mian was a little sleepy, got up and walked outside the hotel to smoke two cigarettes to refresh himself. After smoking, I went to the restaurant on the second floor to drink a strong cup of hot coffee before returning to the conference room.
At this time, it was already 11:20 a.m., and the morning market was about to close. The reporters all put down other things, staring intently at the stock prices of the ten stocks, and let out exclamations from time to time, obviously one stock after another as if under a spell, and fell into the range predicted by Chai Qing.
"Wow! ICBC was also hit by her!"
"I'm a lung, even PetroChina can guess it, it's godly!"
Wu Mian also pretended to admire to join the ranks of exclamations, and in the midst of this noisy sound one after another, at half past eleven, footsteps sounded, and Chai Qing appeared at the door of the conference room on time.
Coincidentally, the reporters burst into warm applause to welcome her!
This beautiful "princess of the fund" was radiant, and her snow-white cheeks were slightly flushed with excitement. She even forgot to hide it, and stared at Wu Mian at first sight, her eyes revealing infinite gratitude, infinite respect, and deep affection.
Wu Mian also looked at her happily, knowing that from this moment on, she had established the most important position in the investment world, and was upgraded from the "fund princess" to the incomparably magical and world-famous "beauty stock god"!
