"Okay, I'll come over to you when I'm free to brag about it. By the way, now that the price of copper has fallen like this, what happened to the Southern Group?" Li Xin finally couldn't help but ask.

Gao Hui let out a long sigh: "Alas, you can just think about it, can it be good? Now that all sales business has stopped, if it weren't for this, would I be able to stand here and chat with you now?"

"I guess too, they might as well not sell it at this price now, and only when the price of copper rises in the future will it be a little better. ”

"It's difficult! There is no other way but to take the road of bankruptcy and reorganization!"

"Have you found your next home?"

"How can it be so easy, the problem of the Southern Group is bigger than the problem of the sugar company at the beginning, and it is more difficult to find a home for bankruptcy and reorganization. ”

"With such a big business of the Southern Group, there should still be people interested in it, right?"

"There are big and big difficulties, the original sugar company is just a simple trading enterprise, and does not involve the production process, bankruptcy and reorganization will be relatively easy, as long as there is capital injection, you can carry out the business. The characteristics of the circulation field are that there is a difference between purchase and sale prices at any time, as long as you don't do a hammer deal like Tang Jianhua did back then, and the goods purchased at the beginning of the year are not sold until the end of the year, but you happen to encounter a sharp drop in sugar prices, there will be opportunities at any time. As long as we take the method of eating less and eating more often, just like when Mr. Wu took us to do business, we can continue to accumulate profits as soon as the price difference between purchase and sale comes out. In addition, the location of the sugar company is also good, and after the merger of the sugar company, they saved the money to build a building, so why not? But what about the current Southern Group? This is a large enterprise group that integrates mining, smelting, and sales, and the problem here is even more complicated. Whether the whole group makes money or not, and whether it is profitable, depends on the position of copper prices. As long as the price of copper in the market is lower than a certain position, the sales side will not be able to make a profit. I heard that as long as the copper price is less than 50,000 yuan, the whole group will not have a single line of profit. But look at where the price of copper has reached now? 40,000 yuan can't stop it, and now it's down to about 31,000 yuan! The Southern Group is now not a question of whether it will die or not, but how hard it will die. Under such circumstances, who dares to take over the Southern Group? Whoever takes over will pick up a big burden on his back, and this burden is much heavier than that of the original sugar company. ”

"Then there is no way at all?" asked Li Xin.

Gao Hui hung his head and said, "I guess it's going to be difficult." Alas, I really didn't expect it, so I got out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den. You said that we had only a few days to live after the merger of the sugar company, and now we have to go back to the old path, and we are going to go bankrupt and reorganized, and we don't know who can look down on the Southern Group. What did we do in our last life?"

"This responsibility is not on you, on Liu Zhongzhou and Jin Changxing. Li Xin spoke very objectively, although the conflict between him and Xue Chenzhi was much greater than that with Liu Zhongzhou and Jin Changxing, and it was also because of Xue Chenzhi's unreasonable behavior that he finally caused him to leave the Southern Group in a bad mood, but he did not put Xue Chenzhi in the list of people who should be mainly responsible for the decline of the Southern Group in this sentence. Because in his opinion, Xue Chenzhi did not take over as chairman of the Southern Group for a long time, and his next stall was mainly saved by Liu Zhongzhou and Jin Changxing, and the deep-seated hidden dangers that eventually led to the collapse of the Southern Group were also buried by Liu Zhongzhou and Jin Changxing when they were in office. As for the sharp drop in copper prices when Xue Chenzhi was the chairman, it can only be said that his luck is not very good, and it really has nothing to do with his personal actions.

Gao Hui turned his head to look left and right, and then whispered: "Who said it wasn't? But what can we, the ordinary people, dare not say when we see it! Don't say that we dare not say it, even you, the former assistant to the chairman, said a few words that they don't like to hear, aren't you also made by them unable to stay? Alas, don't you say it, the more you talk about it, the more angry you become. How are you, what are you doing now?"

"What else can I do, it's not just investing in stocks and futures. ”

"I think so, did you make any money during this copper price crash?"

"Yes, otherwise what am I going to eat? I'm not like you right now, I don't have a penny of wages. ”

Gao Hui knew that such a question was too private and should not have been asked, but he hadn't seen Li Xin for a long time, and he also wanted to know what Li Xin was doing now, so he asked casually when it came to this topic. Unexpectedly, Li Xin didn't see him, and answered him directly. His eyes lit up when he heard this, and he continued to ask: "Tell my buddy, how much did you earn this time?" Gao Hui knew Li Xin's ability, and in such an unprecedented plunge, the money he made was definitely not a small number.

Li Xin smiled: pretending to be casual and said: "Although it is not much, but in terms of the salary of the Southern Group, I have earned back all the salary income in the next 20 years this time." Because it was inconvenient to tell the truth, Li Xin made a big ambush when answering Gao Hui's question, and the figure he said was only a fraction of the profit he earned this time. He casually took out one or two million yuan, which was enough to cover the salary given to him by the Southern Group for twenty years. What's more, according to the salary given to him by the Southern Group before his resignation, it is less than 40,000 a year.

Although Li Xin had already made a huge discount, Gao Hui was still stunned after listening to Li Xin's words: "Damn, didn't you kid already achieve financial freedom in advance now?" Gao Hui really didn't feel good in his heart, he was worried about his future salary income at the moment, but Li Xin in front of him made hundreds of thousands, or even millions of yuan, he was really more popular than people!

Li Xin said disapprehantly: "Actually, it's nothing, before I didn't have this profit, I would have been financially free." ”

"That's that, didn't you already make tens of millions of dollars when you went long on futures copper two and a half years ago? It stands to reason that you were already financially free at that time. But I can't figure it out, you were already worth tens of millions a few years ago, why are you still willing to stay in the Southern Group and be angry with these people?"

"Don't say you can't figure it out, I think it's strange myself. Li Xin didn't say this because he was cheap and good, nor was he perfunctory about Gao Hui along the way, he was telling the truth. Because it wasn't until half an hour ago, when he was drinking coffee and smoking on the balcony on the roof of his villa, while enjoying the scenery, that he really figured out the path he was going to take in the future, and also seriously reviewed the road he had already walked.

When recalling the past, Li Xin had to admit that the achievements he had made in investment were inseparable from his company and industry. If you are not in these related industries and have obtained a lot of key information in the industry, then your investments will not have such a big return, and there may even be huge losses.

Just when Gao Hui and Li Xin were standing in the parking lot chatting, it was time to get off work, and the people in the building of the Southern Group walked out of the corridor and went home from work.

When Jiang Hua, the minister of administration, came out of the corridor and walked past the parking lot to the bicycle shed, he was obviously stunned when he saw Li Xin in a suit and leather shoes and his black and shiny BMW car, and then quickly lowered his head, pretended not to see it, walked in front of Li Xin and Gao Hui, and pushed out a bicycle in the bicycle shed and rode home.

The continued plunge in copper prices after the National Day finally caught the attention of banks. Since last week, banks have frozen bank accounts of the Southern Group. When the bank account was frozen and the group had no source of profits, all the vehicles originally assigned to the group's executives were still in normal use, except for Xue Chenzhi's one, and all the other executives' cars were stopped.

Once upon a time, the Southern Bloc was so wealthy. But in the blink of an eye, I don't even know where the fuel cost of the company's vehicles comes from, and the degree of its despair is really embarrassing.

I really don't know how Jiang Hua felt when he rode a bicycle in front of Li Xin's BMW.

Jiang Hua didn't dare to look at Li Xin squarely, but when Jiang Hua passed in front of Li Xin, Li Xin looked at him seriously.

Although he couldn't make eye contact with Jiang Hua's eyes, Li Xin could see from Jiang Hua's dodgy and wandering eyes that his heart was hesitant, hesitant and weak at the moment. Jiang Hua's face at this time no longer had the kind of look that followed several chairmen in the past, but instead had the kind of timidity on the faces of the subordinates in the movie.

People with such a look on their faces, without exception, are because of the emptiness of their hearts.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and if there is no confidence in the heart, there will be no hope in the eyes.

If you want to make someone who can't see the future and can't see hope, if you want him to be mentally strong, it's basically a fool's errand.

Looking at Jiang Hua's depressed expression, a subtle smile passed over the corner of Li Xin's mouth.

Recalling that when the Southern Group had just merged with the sugar company, Jiang Hua, a snobbish, had been working against him. He worked hard as a thug for Liu Zhongzhou, Jin Changxing and others, and ruthlessly suppressed people and things that they and himself were not used to.

As Jiang Hua's former subordinate, Li Xin really couldn't get used to his style, and the contradiction between the two once reached the level of a needle against Mai Mang.

Li Xin eats the bowl of technology, and he advocates facts, not rights. He knows that although the market is still imperfect, on the whole, the market has its own laws, and it will not change for you because of your status or position.
