Chapter 378: Bullish on Sugar Prices
The beautiful girl in front of her had a true affection for herself, which made Li Xin's emotions rush out like a turbulent river. In this cold winter night, the two hugged each other tightly......
"Your hands are so cold, you are so bad, let others see it!" the happy Xia Xiaona murmured in Li Xin's arms.
Approaching the Spring Festival, these days are the most tense time for the Spring Festival. Due to the snowstorm in the south, which has not been seen in decades, more and more tourists are stranded on the road. Compared with the provinces of Yuexi and Guidong, Jiangnan Province was relatively less affected by the heavy snowfall. But even so, when you look at the surrounding area of the original green trees, it is still white, so you can imagine that the situation in the two provinces of Yuexi and Guidong is even less optimistic.
Although the news report did not show the specific situation of the sugarcane disaster, other crops such as vegetables and grains were greatly affected by the snowstorm. Therefore, Li Xin concluded that sugarcane was not affected by the snow disaster this year.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, that is, the day when Li Xin and Xia Xiaona went to climb the snow mountain, that day was the last trading day before the Spring Festival of the futures exchange, when the closing price of the September contract of sucrose was already 3,867 yuan, although the price was not high, but compared with 3,693 yuan a week ago, it had risen by nearly 200 yuan. In just one week, it rose by nearly 200 yuan, which is not an ordinary increase.
I haven't studied the price trend of sugar futures for several years, and Li Xin doesn't dare to judge whether the rapid rise of nearly 200 yuan in this week is a sign that the over-the-counter funds have moved and seen that the price of sugar will rise sharply in the future, just like himself.
Is this a prelude to an upswing, or is it a normal swing?
In any case, the impact of the severe snow storm on the TV screen must have been very large. Li Xin has already made up her mind at this moment to go long on sugar prices.
Years of investment experience have given Li Xin an indescribable dependence on market trends. As long as it is the day when the exchange stops trading, he will feel empty and uncomfortable when he can't see the market trend.
The Spring Festival holiday is the longest, and he is even more restless like an ant on a hot pot, and finally survives the few days without trading, and on the first day after the Spring Festival, Li Xin didn't even enter his office, so he went to find Yu Hong: "Who is doing the statistical work that you used to do with the sugar association?"
Yu Hong also just came to the office, on the first day of the holiday, she had not yet recovered from the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, she was sitting at the table in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Li Xin came in so hurriedly to ask such a question from a few years ago, which made her feel very strange, and she was stunned for a moment: "When I left, Mr. Ma asked me to hand it over to Lin Li, but I don't know if he is still doing it." How long ago was this, why do you ask this?"
"It's okay, I'll just ask. Where are you going to play during the Spring Festival?"
"I didn't go anywhere, I stayed at home, it was cold, it was inconvenient to go anywhere, and it was not just relatives visiting each other, eating or something. What about you?"
"It's pretty much the same, I just accompany my parents to go around with relatives. You're busy, I'll talk to Lin Li. ”
After coming out of Yu Hong's office, Li Xin immediately went downstairs to the sugar branch to find Lin Li. He knew that he had to hurry up on this matter, and if others were as concerned about the rise and fall of sugar prices as he was, they would definitely notice the snow disaster in the TV news before and after the Spring Festival.
After brewing and fermenting during the Spring Festival, this matter has spread its influence exponentially. Now there are only more than 20 minutes before the futures market opens at 9:00, and he is not sure what will happen when the futures market opens today, and whether the impact of the snow disaster will immediately react to the price of sugar.
Lin Li sat listlessly at his desk and smoked a cigarette, and he felt tired early in the morning. During the Spring Festival holiday, he stayed at home and didn't go anywhere, ate and slept all day, slept and ate, stayed up late at night to watch TV and play games, slept lazily until eleven or two o'clock, and even saved breakfast early every morning, and got up to eat lunch directly. So he got up early in the morning to go to work on vacation today, and he hasn't had the "jet lag" until now.
He, like Yu Hong, has not yet been freed from holiday syndrome. I just came back from the Spring Festival, and I didn't have the heart to go to work, but it was second, and what made his head big was that he should go out to sell sugar outside the province in two days. Jiangnan Province is unusually cold this year, not to mention the north that wants to sell sugar?
This year's Spring Festival is different from previous years, and by the end of the holiday, there are still many people stuck in the road home or back to work because of heavy snow, and traveling at this time must be a chore.
When Li Xin went downstairs and just walked to the door of Lin Li's office, Xia Xiaona came out of her office not far from Lin Li, carrying a box. As soon as she saw Li Xin, she asked, "Why did you run down?" I was about to go up to you. ”
Li Xin pointed to Lin Li's office and said, "I'll come over and ask about something, what are you looking for me?"
Xia Xiaona handed the box in her hand to Li Xin and said, "I was about to send you the souvenirs brought by relatives in my father's hometown." ”
"You can keep it for food, I don't cook on the fire, it's a pity if it is broken. Li Xin said.
Xia Xiaona was afraid that Li Xin would refuse, so she was embarrassed to let others see each other in the corridor, so she stuffed the box into Li Xin's hand: "Take it yourself." With that, he turned around and went back to the office.
Li Xin carried the box handed over by Xia Xiaona in her hand, hesitated for a moment in the corridor, and walked into Lin Li's office.
Seeing Li Xin come in, Lin Li felt a little strange, he couldn't understand what would happen to Li Xin. Since Li Xin moved upstairs a long time ago, he rarely comes to the sugar branch again, what's wrong today, he came to the door on the first day of work in the Lunar New Year, what is the situation?
Although his heart was full of doubts, Lin Li remained silent, pretending not to see Li Xin. What's more, although the conversation between Xia Xiaona and Li Xin just now was very quiet, at the door of Lin Li's office, every word they said was clearly heard by Lin Li.
Recently, Li Xin and Xia Xiaona's closer contact than before has not escaped Lin Li's eyes. Now Xia Xiaona took the initiative to send Li Xin a specialty from her hometown, which shows that the relationship between the two of them is no longer ordinary, which makes Lin Li's heart sour.
Li Xin saw Lin Li leaning lazily on the chair, so he asked, "What are you doing? Why are you listless early in the morning?"
Lin Li rolled his eyelids, he didn't squeak, he thought to himself: Can you manage it? You think you are the branch manager!
If you want to say who he annoys the most now, it must be Li Xin.
Where did Li Xin know Lin Li's thoughts, and he also talked to Lin Li with the attitude of an old colleague from the original sugar company, and there was no sense of sympathy between them. But Lin Li didn't think so anymore, and because of Xia Xiaona, Lin Li was envious, jealous and hated Li Xin, how could Li Xin get a good face when he came to him at this time.
Li Xin didn't respond to his greetings, and looked a little embarrassed. If someone did this to him in normal times, he would immediately turn around and leave. But now, because he wants to understand the extent of the impact of the snow on sugarcane here in Linli, he can't help it.
Since Lin Li didn't want to be close to him, Li Xin could only explain his intention with a straight face: "Manager Lin, is the statistical data of the Sugar Association in your hands?"
Lin Li rolled his eyes and thought: This kid really has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he has to ask about the statistics of the Sugar Association as soon as he comes, but what does he want to do with this? In the past few years, he has never cared about the affairs of the Sucrose Branch.
Lin Li took a hard puff of his cigarette, squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you want these for?"
"I wanted to know how much of an impact the snow disaster has had on sugarcane acreage this year. ”
When Lin Li heard this, he immediately sat up straight: "Is Chairman Jin asking you to ask?" He was also afraid that if Jin Changxing asked Li Xin to come down and ask about this matter, if he made things difficult for Li Xin like this, in case Li Xin reported this matter to Jin Changxing, then he would not be able to eat and walk away.
Lin Li asked about this, and Li Xin had no choice but to tell the truth: "No, I want to see it myself." ”
When Lin Li heard this, he knew in his heart: It turns out that you want to use this data yourself, so I have no obligation to provide it to you.
So he said: "Last month's data will not be counted until around the 20th of this month, and there is no such thing as yet." ”
"There is no monthly summary data, so is there any data for the last two weeks?" Li Xin was still a little reluctant.
"Look at what you said, this is just a holiday, where can I find the data for you in the past two weeks? Besides, if the data for these two weeks is out for the year, won't the monthly summary data come out?"
Li Xin thought about it, and what Lin Li said seemed to make sense. But there is no way to get this data from anywhere else except for him.
"There is no aggregate data, so is there an analysis report? It is an analysis report written by industry insiders about the impact of this snow disaster on sugarcane planting area. There is no detailed data, Li Xin has to turn to the second, and it is not bad to have this kind of rough analysis article.
Lin Li shook his head and said, "No, I haven't received anything like this from the Sugar Association recently." ”
Li Xin is now in a difficult situation, and there are still more than 10 minutes before the futures market will open, but the data will not be available until more than 10 days later, and it will be too late to catch up.
Without these detailed statistics, he would be blind, and rushing into the futures market would be like a small boat sailing into a rough sea without any safety equipment, and huge risks could arise at any time.
Since you can't get the data for a while, you can only look at the current situation and see what the futures market looks like before making a plan.
