Chapter 243 Assistant Song's Daily Work
[Million Questions Answered - From giving away phone bills when taking a taxi to sharing cash by answering questions live, Xie Jingxing always manages to lead the Internet industry's brainless financial bubble war with endless new ways of burning money.
Regardless of whether Mr. Xie, who is touted as the "young marshal" by his fans and unscrupulous venture capital professionals, is a warmonger, people can't help but ask: Does his unscrupulous behavior, as if he is rich, really not violate the malicious competition business law?
Behind the glamorous reputation of wielding power and spending money, can his investment portfolio really make a single penny of clean money, I mean the kind that doesn’t rely on deceiving investors. 】
“Is the author of this article the same internet celebrity blogger who publicly said last year that Chinese aunties have defeated Wall Street?”
In the morning, Song Anli summarized the work of the day as usual, removed trivial information and garbage, put the key points into the schedule and sent it to Xie Jingxing's email.
"Well, he's also a writer. He published a popular science book on business and finance that sold very well." The assistant added softly.
Song Anli curled her lips sarcastically: "Find a middleman to buy a few of his signed books and say I want to give them away."
A tall tree attracts the wind. Even if there is no major public opinion explosion, there are still countless negative attacks at ordinary times, but most of them are not inflammatory and are left to their own devices.
For these influential financial influencers who are clearly trying to gain popularity, we should use friendly public relations as much as possible after using both soft and hard tactics. Most of them can be dismissed with a slight warning. After all, they are all about business and it is rare that a damned ghost can be persuaded with nice words.
"Ok."
Assistant Chen Xi responded in a low voice. She was tall and thin, with a pretty face and a sad temperament. Her appearance was quite deceptive.
She gives people the feeling of being the kind of desk-mate that a high school boy will never forget. She is not particularly beautiful, pure, weak, or a literary heroine full of youthful pain.
In fact, he has a good family background and outstanding resume. He graduated from Jinling Foreign Language School and received a bachelor's and master's degree from Cambridge University in the UK. He worked in the Asia-Pacific region of the Royal Bank of Scotland for three years.
This year, due to the parent company's loss-making merger and acquisition strategy and large-scale layoffs, she decisively asked for N+3 breakup fee and took the initiative to change jobs and run away. She is a typical product of Chinese elite education, a sophisticated and selfish workplace queen with high ability.
Song Anli now has five such assistants. Chen Xi is responsible for connecting with Yunhe Logistics, Meizu Group and other parts of the work that Xie Jingxing directly participates in managing, while the other four have different responsibilities.
Cheng Sen's private reminder to a certain young marshal that he had an "emperor mentality" was very appropriate. The wealth map already had a rough outline of an empire, and he needed an entire team to issue orders in order to exercise power smoothly.
To some extent, if she had the courage and willingness, she only needed to collude with a few people to achieve a great death in a short period of time...
Song Anli rubbed her temples to dispel unrealistic thoughts, raised her eyebrows and glanced at him calmly: "It's okay, go out, and call Norah in."
Chen Xi quietly changed the water in the vase and put fresh flowers in it, pulled the sunshade curtain halfway down, and quietly left the office.
Recently, "Tea Sister" has been a bit emotionally unstable due to menopause, and everyone is doubly careful in serving her and not daring to make any mistakes... Tea Sister, the nickname given to Song Anli by the Douban gossip group, has both admiration and smear connotations... A 25-year-old girl is lucky and in a high position, the subtlety of which is difficult to fully express.
Anyway, she believes that if she had the same great opportunity, she would do no worse than anyone else, or even better. Judging from her own experience, the other assistants probably have the same mentality.
“Call Didi.”
The computer screen shows the stock trend of Meidu Special Steel. It is another stock with shrinking volume and accelerated daily limit. It is the sixth daily limit. The technical side is under pressure like a mountain, and it seems that it will break through the daily limit in the next second.
Song Anli felt suffocated just by looking at it, and her emotions became even more serious and she was very frugal with her words.
Nora, a middle-aged assistant who also had work experience as a returnee from a prestigious university, did not dare to ask more questions. She immediately took out her mobile phone and called Didi's board secretary, and communicated for a while on the loudspeaker.
After hanging up the phone, Song Anli turned to call Liu Qing in person: "Hello, President Liu, it's me, Song Anli. I received a notice here. The board meeting will be held in two days, right?"
"Yes, what instructions does Mr. Song have?"
"No, no, it's like this. Mr. Xie has been quite busy lately. He specifically asked me to communicate the content of the meeting with you in advance, and I will attend the meeting on your behalf then." Song Anli explained.
"It's nothing serious. It's just a summary of the financial situation in the past six months and the approval of the financial budget for the next six months, as well as our business development in Singapore, Malaysia, Southeast Asia and other places. Mr. Xie knows all of this."
Liu Qing readily agreed: "President Tang will represent Xiyou to attend the meeting, right? Then you can represent Taihe to vote and make up the number."
"No problem. Mr. Tang and I will be there on time." Song Anli thanked with a smile.
With the continuous inflow of huge amounts of capital, Didi's equity structure has become increasingly dispersed. The number of Didi's board seats has expanded to 8, and one board seat owned by small shareholders such as Zhu Xiaohu has been transferred to Taihe Capital.
As long as communication is done in advance and there are no objections, Xie's two votes and the management's three votes can control the board of directors.
"Okay, I'll treat you to a meal then. What is Xie Jingxing busy with? I haven't seen him show off for a long time. Is he really upset by the negative public opinion?"
Liu Qing teased curiously, but Song Anli handled it easily without revealing a word.
She checked off one item on the schedule that was filled with records of things to do and breathed a sigh of relief. If this continued, her stock price would collapse first, before Meidu Special Steel's.
Was I really being pushed up to this level?
"Mr. Song, we have to go to the airport."
Not giving Song Anli a chance to doubt her life, the assistant reminded her of the time as if urging her to do so.
In the past two months, Xiaomi and Huawei Honor have released direct competing products one after another. The sales of Meizu MX4 have been limited and the production capacity and output have dropped sharply. The media has put all the blame on Xie Jingxing.
Even though he has only been in charge of Meizu for three months, the Meizu MX4 is a product that has been planned for a long time.
Huang Zhang was a little depressed and wanted to retreat to the mountains to grow flowers and feed fish. However, his relatives began to get restless and wanted to get their hands on the supply chain system.
Bai Yongxiang cannot handle the whole thing alone, so she has to take the young marshal's sword and go to Zhuhai to support him. She should not care about anything else and should work at full capacity to expand the production and stockpile of MX4pro.
This is the world's first Android fingerprint touch phone on the market today, which will give Xie Jingxing the most familiar feeling ten years later. At least 11 million units must be stockpiled before it goes on sale in November.
It can be said that this is a do-or-die battle for Meizu. Banners with the words "Soha MX4pro" have been hung in the production workshop, and the atmosphere is no worse than that of Didi's swearing-in ceremony in Shanghai last year.
It’s just that the operating cycle of the technology manufacturing industry is much longer than that of the Internet.
Wait, wait patiently, now we are in the dark night before dawn - Xie Jingxing said so in an internal letter to all employees.
…………
Song Anli stayed in Zhuhai for three days and then rushed to Beijing like a bird to attend Didi's board meeting.
“Big drop!”
As soon as she got off the plane, Nora, her most trusted assistant, leaned close to her ear and whispered two words in a whisper.
Song Anli's smile remained unchanged: "Let's go to Didi Company first."
"The pony is always waiting for you."
"Let them wait. If they can't wait any longer, just quit and leave!"
Song Anli got into the car, took out her cell phone, connected to the Internet and opened the stock trading software. Today is Thursday, and as of the morning opening, Coal City Special Steel had hit its ninth consecutive daily limit.
Half an hour after the opening, the daily limit was violently smashed, and a negative line went straight down without any obstruction. Any stockholder with basic common sense can imagine how bloody the trading process was in the morning, with the selling air force being unstoppable and the buying long force being slaughtered and wailing everywhere.
It was a bloodbath. The trading volume exceeded 15 billion yuan in just two hours, and there was no sign of stabilizing. If it remains like this in the afternoon, the limit down will be imminent.
The Grapefruit Active Strategy Team’s positions are leveraged!
The total position is 55 billion, and if the loss reaches 60%, it will be forced to close. After nine consecutive daily limit increases, it is foreseeable that Xiyou's position will be very high.
In particular, the transaction volume of up to 15 billion this morning proved that Xie Jingxing had resisted. Although this was completely useless, the cost of holding the position was further increased.
The key now is how heavy the grapefruit position is and whether it can withstand this huge drop of 20% in a single day.
If the stock price can't hold up and hits the limit down, market sentiment will explode, and a chain reaction of limit downs will occur one after another.
Then it is not a matter of forced liquidation due to a loss of 60%, but a margin call, with 55 billion yuan in cash wiped out in an instant without a penny left.
This is not a small amount of money. Yunhe Logistics attracted several ministerial-level state-owned enterprise giants to invest in it. Liu Qing assembled an all-star lineup of venture capital to acquire Kuaidi and had the last laugh.
Xie Jingxing was shot and killed on the streets of Manhattan, and the share compensation given by Apple and the other three parties is only this amount in cash. There are still many considerations such as balancing equity and showing goodwill.
What is even more fatal is that the chain reaction is not limited to the stock market. Taihe Grapefruit has made good use of leverage. The Yunhe Logistics Chuncheng Warehousing Project alone has accumulated 50 times of leverage.
"parking."
Song Anli turned off the stock trading software, and the driver looked at the vehicles in front and behind, thinking that parking here was illegal.
Assistant Nora frowned silently and gave him a look, so he had to find a way to park the car on the side of the road.
Song Anli got out of the car and walked away, holding her phone and pacing back and forth. Names flashed through her mind, and she finally called Cheng Sen: "Did Mr. Xie contact you?"
"Are you talking about that matter? We've already contacted them. If everything goes well, we'll have the results in two months. It's best not to talk about this kind of thing on the phone." Cheng Sen said in a leisurely tone.
Song Anli was silent for a few seconds and lowered her voice unconsciously: "If Mr. Xie contacts you next time, please inform me as soon as possible."
"...Are you testing me?" Cheng Sen perked up a bit.
Song Anli hung up the phone without any explanation. If one wanted to mobilize a single amount of funds of more than 1 billion to cover a position in a short period of time, only the secret fund that Cheng Sen was in charge of could do it.
As for the others, whether it is Yunhe or Taihe grapefruit, it will take at least three days, during which time rumors will spread.
As long as you don't add to your positions, you can withstand the loss of the existing 55 billion positions. You must be rational.
Song Anli thought about it again and again, and finally did not call Xie Jingxing. Suddenly, a bright smile appeared on her face for no apparent reason.
I almost forgot, he said he had the courage to admit failure, but he never failed.
…………
“It has stopped falling.”
At the proprietary trading office of Juntai Securities headquarters, someone was lazily leaning back in a chair and stretching his legs as the stock market closed in the afternoon.
Meidu Special Steel closed the day with a drop of 2%. The bulls and bears fought repeatedly in the flat range to stabilize the front. The trading volume on the day was 57 billion yuan.
Xihua Securities' Beijing Tianshan Road branch ranked first in sales volume on the Dragon and Tiger list, followed by Juntai headquarters; Juntai Shanghai Huaihai South Road branch ranked first in buying volume.
As expected, the positions were adjusted and the chips were changed to stabilize the trend, which means that the opportunity was delayed to tomorrow.
"Which hot money is using this sales department seat? Their playing style is quite aggressive." A colleague next to me took a look and commented.
He scratched his head and showed off: "It's not hot money, it's a seat at Grapefruit Capital."
"Young Marshal Xie Jingxing?"
"No, it's an investment manager in his company, I think his name is Wang Xueqing. The rate of return was quite high last year, and he came to the company's annual meeting."
"Didn't Wang Xueqing pass away? I remember he posted a funeral message on WeChat Moments a few days ago." Another colleague followed up.
He smacked his lips and said, "No, I know He Chuan from their company. He said Wang Xueqing was injured while playing basketball and was admitted to the hospital."
"Who is behind this short-term trade? The stock has risen 300% in three months, and it looks like they are going to sell it and run away."
"Not necessarily. They are relaying to other hot money. Liquidity is very good and market sentiment is not bad after the decline. Even if they want to sell, they can hold on to it tomorrow, Friday, and there will be something to do next week."
Several traders with position rights exchange opinions with each other. They are between investment managers and ordinary traders. They have high investment autonomy and need subjective initiative in the market.
…………
Tianjin, Jintong International Capital.
After the stock market closed, hundreds of employees in the spacious public office area hurried to the toilet to drink water, smoke and take a break, and then jogged back to their workstations.
"Clang clang clang."
The manager struck the gong several times and yelled at the top of his voice: "Hurry up and call the customers. It's the end of the month. Think about your performance. If you don't work hard today, it will become garbage tomorrow!"
Suddenly, the office was buzzing with noise, and hundreds of people picked up their phones and bombarded the stockholders' phone numbers.
"Hey, Lao Wang, have you paid attention to the trend of Meidu Special Steel today? Yes, it has fallen, and that was done by our team! Didn't I tell you about this check two days ago? You can make at least 30% if you buy it!"
"Leave professional matters to professionals. As long as you open an account with us, you can enjoy the investment analysis given by our experts. If you deposit more than 200 million, you will have the opportunity to make a fortune by investing in stocks with our mentors."
"What? You don't want to open a margin account and use leverage because it's risky. You're just thinking the same old thing again. Using leverage will increase the amount of funds you have to control the risk... Can Coal City Special Steel still rise? I can't tell you that. How about this, you come to listen to our instructor's lecture on the leading strategy in the evening, right, right, in the live broadcast room of Panda TV..."
The salesperson covered his ears with one hand to block out the noise, staring at the cheat sheet on the desk and typing away.
…………
In a stock trading forum that gathers many stock investors, posts with titles like "Meidu Special Steel" are refreshed quickly.
[A single-day transaction volume of 50 billion is really exciting. It makes me wet. This is a short-term speculator. Which big guy knows whose seat is Juntai Huaihai South Road Sales Department? Brother Zhao or Chief Leader Xu? ]
[Xu, Xu and Zhao are not so kind as to leave retail investors behind and run away.]
【Run? Who said to run? Will you look at the technical side? The stock price rose with shrinking volume in the past two days and was under pressure from above. Today, it opened the daily limit and the profit-taking was short-term adjusted. The upward channel was opened instead. We can look forward to the five-fold monster stock. 】
[Stop bragging. Do you know what left-side funds and rising channels are? If retail investors don’t run away tomorrow, I will bury them in your pocket. ]
【Rational analysis shows that there will be at least a daily limit tomorrow. Today, short sellers failed to sell the stock to the bottom, and the market sentiment is still there. The bulls are determined. They didn’t react to the sell-off in the morning, but they took over decisively in the afternoon. Those who are betting on short-term trading can give it a try. Anyway, I, Wang Mancang, never fool people. Those who often post in the sector know that I like to speak with positions. Just follow me and buy in tomorrow! 】
