Power and WealthChapter 24 – Helping the leader to trade shares

The next day.

Dong Xuebing was in a good mood. Because he had donesomething well, he could hold his head high.

Dong Xuebing had just gotten his salary for his first monthof work. He decided to give himself a treat by having a lavished breakfast atthe roadside dumpling store. A bowl of goat innards soup, bake sesame cake anda tea leaves egg. Dong Xuebing had a good appetite, and after finishing all the food, he still did not feel full. Hewent to the crepe store to buy a crepe. He used up all his change in his pocketfor this hearty meal.

After a big burb andDong Xuebing walked past the gates of Western District Bureau Branch.

“Oh, the great hero is here.” Tan Limei laughed and waved toDong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing was feeling good, but he did not show it on hisface. He modestly said: “What hero? It was only a coincident yesterday. Interms of writing, I am not as good as the rest of you.”

Changjuan, who was putting on lipstick, laughed. “Hehe, XiaoDong is trying to be humble.”

Old Yan also laughed as he straightens his newspaper.“That’s right. I heard after Chief Li Qing knew about this matter, he alsopraised you.”

Dong Xuebing smiled: “Stop making fun of me. I am not asgood as what you say.”

Guo Panwei was writing and drawing some lines at his desk.After Dong Xuebing sat down at his desk, he looked over to see what Guo Panweiwas doing. Guo Panwei was drawing some candlestick chart and 5 days moving averageof the stock index. Dong Xuebing knew Zhou Changchun love to trade shares, and Guo Panwei was trying to bootlick throughshares trading. After all, there was only so much work the leader could assignto them. That was the duties of the staff workers. But if the staff workercould help the leader with his personal matters, then it will be different. Thestaff will be closer to the leader.

9.30 am.

Guo Panwei took the Candlestick Chart he was drawing into DeputyChief Zhou’s office. He remained in the room for about half an hour. At about10 am, he came out of the room and closethe door gently. He was grinning. He seems to be praise by Zhou Changchun.

At the fax machine on the other end of the office, Tan Limeiwas organizing some documents. “There is a document that requires Chief Zhou’ssignature. Who is free to bring it to him?”

Guo Panwei raised his hand unconsciously. But he rememberedthat he had just come out of the officeand he lowered his hand.

“I will do it.” Dong Xuebing walked over and took thedocument to the small office room and knocked on the door.

“...... Come in.”

Dong Xuebing entered the room. “Chief Zhou, this documentrequires your signature.”

Zhou Changchun held the few copies of A4 papers in his hand.He was looking at the stock daily charts on his monitor while reading thedocuments. If it were a few weeks ago,Zhou Changchun would surely minimize the window to not let Dong Xuebing seewhat he was doing. Now, Zhou Changchun got to know Dong Xuebing better and feltthat he was an obedient young man. He does not mind Dong Xuebing knowing thathe was trading shares at work. “Xiao Dong...... Yesterday, the Chief had praisedyou over the phone. Good job. Continue to work hard.”

“Yes. I will not let all the leaders down......” Dong Xuebingcould feel Zhou Changchun’s change of attitude towards him. He was jumping withjoy in his heart. He immediately says some useless things that he will continueto work hard and do all the leaders proud, etc.

After Dong Xuebing had finished, Zhou Changchun nodded andgestured to Dong Xuebing. “Sit.”

Dong Xuebing sat down on the chair. He does not know whereto look, so he looked at the monitor.

It was the chart of a stock named Daqin Railway.

Dong Xuebing remembered that the news had reported some newsyesterday and railway and automobile shares had raised. From the charts, DaqinRailway shares had increased a lot. Since the start of the trading day, it had raised from 8.59 to 9.03 RMB. It then drops to8.89 RMB, before rising to 9.25 RMB. Itwas almost at almost reaching the daily limit price.

This was a good share.

Dong Xuebing looked at Zhou Changchun and noticed he wassmiling.

After a while, Zhou Changchun had signed the document andsmiled. “Here. Take it.”

Dong Xuebing used both hands to collect the documents fromhim and was about to leave. Zhou Changchun’s eyes were still glued to themonitor.

But 2 seconds later, Daqin Railway shares dropped suddenly.There was a trade of someone selling 12,000 shares. Half of these shares werebought out by the buying orders. Soon after, someone sold 8,000 shares,followed by 5,000. Immediately Daqin Railway share prices fell below 9 RMB.This happened almost instantly.

Zhou Changchun slapped his leg and groaned. “The big playershave sold the shares so early. If I knew, I should have sold the sharesearlier.”

Dong Xuebing who was about to leave the room heard this andturned around to look at the chart on the monitor. He knew that this was anopportunity.

“BACK!”

......

The scenery around Dong Xuebing changed.

He was now facing another direction.

Swooshed. Zhou Changchun was signing on the documents. Hesmiled: “Here. Take it.”

Daqin Railway share prices werestill hovering at about 9.26 RMB. It looks like it was about to reach 9.3 RMB.

Although Dong Xuebing felt it was very sudden and rude, hedoes not want to give up this opportunity to be closer to the leader. Heimmediately points to the monitor: “Chief Zhou, if you own this share, youshould sell it immediately. Yesterday, the automobile and railway shares hadincreased a lot. The speculators will be taking out their profits. From thecurrent graph, it seems dangerous. The prices might fall anytime now.”

Zhou Changchun frowned. He was not bothered by what DongXuebing said: “Really? I think it will riseto the daily limits.”

Dong Xuebing replied: “I am not sure about the trend laterthis afternoon and the next few days. But before noon, Daqin Railway shareswill fall below 9 RMB.”

Zhou Changchun seems irritated and shook his head. He turnedback to the monitor without saying a word.

After being in the government sector for a few weeks, DongXuebing had learned a lot. He knows thatif he remained in the office to look at Daqing Railway’s share prices falling,he would be proving the leader wrong. The leader would not look good, and it was like giving him a slap on the face.The leader might even feel that Dong Xuebing was mocking him.

Dong Xuebing immediately left the room and returned to hisseat. He was looking at Chief Zhou’s office door.

5 minutes......

10 minutes......

20 minutes......

Dong Xuebing keep looking at the door until it was almost lunchtime. He was about to leave the officewith Tan Limei and Zhuang Zhi for the cafeteria when Zhou Changchun walked outof his office. There was no change to his expressions. He chatted withChangjuan and Guo Panwei for a while, andwhen everyone was about to leave for lunch, Zhou Changchun called Dong Xuebingover. “You know shares trading?”

Alright. Here comes my opportunity!

Dong Xuebing replied: “Yes. I know a little about the chartsand graphs.”

Zhou Changchun nodded and patted his shoulders. “Go for yourlunch. Help me look at the shares, tomorrow.”
