Chapter 28: Short Selling (2)
Tang Jianhua's anger and anxious look on his face couldn't be concealed, so Lin Li didn't dare to slack off, and promised to go back to implement Tang Jianhua's instructions immediately.
Yu Shuhua and Yao Juncai listened to Li Xin's words, and they couldn't sit still after going back. If it's really like what he said, it's better to sell the sugar now, didn't Wu Bin also suggest that it is a small profit but a quick turnover.
But after careful consideration, they gradually dispelled this idea.
After lunch, thinking about the results of the order trading in the morning, Li Xin took a break and came to the commodity exchange early.
The office was full of smoke, and there were still more than 20 minutes left to leave the plate, Lao Feng, Lao Zhao, Xu Li and a few people gathered around to play cards to kill time.
Li Xin looked at the closing price of the morning market and the price at which he opened his position, 5 or 6 points lower, almost negligible. He asked Wang Hong to sign the confirmation of the morning transaction, and then got up and went out to prepare to go back to the company.
At the corner of the stairs, he heard someone calling from behind.
Li Xin looked back and saw that it was Xu Li, who was doing futures in the same office, and she ran down the corridor, her high heels knocking out the terrazzo corridor.
She came to Li Xin and asked, "Why are you leaving? Don't look at the market?"
Li Xin said: "There is still something to do, don't look at it." ”
Xu Li's big eyes looked at him, and said mysteriously, "Li Xin, is there any news?"
Li Xin looked at her expectant expression and said with a smile: "There is no news." ”
Xu Li grabbed Li Xin's right arm, raised her face, and said seriously: "You are not honest! You made more than 100 empty orders in the morning, and I heard them all." ”
Li Xin was pulled by her, and when she heard her say this, she was a little embarrassed, and smiled helplessly: "It's not strange that you are either long or short in this market." ”
Xu Li hugged Li Xin's right arm with both hands, as if she was afraid that he would run away, and leaned close to Li Xin and said, "When I saw you go long at the end of last year, I also went long, but I came out early and made a little money." Now that you have made more than 100 empty orders, there must be some news, reveal a little, I won't tell others!"
Xu Li is about 28 years old, medium height, a clothing wholesaler at home, usually dressed very fashionably, the sexy figure of a young woman and her long curly hair, in fact, it is very attractive to men in the office.
At this moment, her plump breasts touched Li Xin's arms, and the smell of perfume on her body made Li Xin a little uneasy.
"Sugar prices have been hovering at a high level for so long, and it looks like there will be a pullback, so I think we can make a little short order. Li Xin said.
"How much will it fall?" Xu Li then asked.
"Who can say for sure, anyway, don't go long recently, focus on high and short. Li Xin replied.
"Okay, listen to you. Xu Li said with a smile.
"You pay attention to the risks yourself! If you have a profit, you will leave, I am also a personal estimate, if you lose money, don't blame me!" Li Xin saw that she was serious, so she hurriedly admonished.
"Oh, you treat me as a child, how can I blame you for the loss!" Immediately after, she hugged Li Xin's arm and whispered, "I'll invite you to dinner when I make money!"
Li Xin stared at her flowing eyes and said, "How boring is eating?"
Xu Li smiled, looked at Li Xin, and said, "Okay, you say, where to jump?"
Seeing that she didn't refuse, Li Xin said further boldly: "I used to see you wearing a cheongsam in the office very beautifully, how about wearing a cheongsam and dancing with me?"
Xu Li said happily: "Do you like to see me wearing a cheongsam? Okay, I'll wear a cheongsam when the time comes." You write down my pager number, you can call me when you are free. ”
Li Xin hurriedly wrote down her pager number, and felt a burst of joy in her heart, looking forward to this unexpected gain.
Wu Bin was sitting alone in his office, and he didn't expect Li Xin to talk eloquently at the meeting and explain the whole thing so thoroughly. It seems that he had reservations when he first came in to find himself.
Thinking back to Li Xin's words, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and the good mood from not long ago was now gone.
He was not as determined as Tang Jianhua, and it was impossible for him to ignore the information he heard.
He knew exactly how much inventory there was in the three branches combined, but he wasn't sure what he knew about the overall cost price, because the managers of the three branches might ambush him on the price.
But even so, based on the rough figures he now knew, what would happen if the price turned around and went down at this time!
At the meeting just now, the opinions of the three branch managers were obviously inconsistent with his own, and they were unwilling to ship a large number of goods at this time, which surprised him.
With his own style of doing things, he definitely did not have the courage to forcibly order the three branches of them to ship in large quantities despite the opposition of everyone.
What if they are right, not to mention the loss of the supply of goods that they have been able to get their hands so hard, and the responsibility for the wrong decision-making will not be borne by themselves?
After thinking about it for a while, he agreed with their opinion to observe it again, and he didn't want to believe that the kind of situation Li Xin said would definitely happen.
Li Xin returned to the company, and as soon as he went upstairs, he was stopped by Yu Shuhua in the corridor: "Li Xin, come here." ”
Li Xin followed her into the office and asked, "Manager Yu, is there something wrong?"
Yu Shuhua said very casually: "Sit, it's okay, let's talk casually." ”
After Li Xin sat down, Yu Shuhua asked, "How is the futures price of cane sugar today?"
Li Xin said: "The price in the morning is roughly what I said at the meeting in the morning, and the situation in the afternoon is not clear, and the information will be faxed after the close of trading at 3 o'clock in the afternoon." ”
Yu Shuhua hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say what she was most worried about: "Do you think the price of sugar will really drop a lot?"
Li Xin understood in her heart that this was the real reason why she let herself in, so she said: "I think it's dangerous to have such a high price at the moment, and it's hard to say what will happen if there is a little wind and grass." But that's just my opinion, and I'm not sure it's all right. ”
Yu Shuhua asked: "How is the production situation of the sugar factory in the province?"
Li Xin said: "There is nothing special, it's normal." Now at the beginning of April, the peak of the crushing season is almost over, and some sugar mills have already harvested. ”
Yu Shuhua said thoughtfully: "In the past, at this time, the end of the sugar mill crushing season was the peak sales period of cane sugar. Could it be that there will be a problem with prices this time of year?"
Li Xin heard her say this, not like she was asking herself, so she didn't squeak.
After a while, Li Xin asked, "Manager Yu, how many tons of sugar do you have in your hands?"
Yu Shuhua said vaguely: "We don't have much sugar. ”
Li Xin continued: "Doesn't it mean that there is still a profit of nearly 200 yuan per ton of sugar? If you are worried that the price will change, you can sell it first." ”
Yu Shuhua didn't answer Li Xin, and changed the topic and said: "In the afternoon, the price information of the futures market came by fax, remember to give me a copy." ”
Li Xin saw that she avoided her own questions, so she didn't want to ask anything more, agreed, got up and went out.
As soon as I entered the office, I saw Lin Li sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, chatting with Xia Xiaona.
"The beauties who came to our office again!" Li Xin said.
"I'm jealous again!" replied Lin Li.
Xia Xiaona smiled and said, "You two don't come here, and you are addicted to me again!"
Li Xin joked when he saw the stitches: "I can only get over my addiction, can I really do it?"
Lin Li followed Li Xin's joke and said: "That's it, rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest, hehe......"
Xia Xiaona's face flushed, and she lowered her head and did not speak.
In the same office, Li Xin had never joked about Xia Xiaona, and today she also blurted out such a joke by flirting with Xu Li, and when she saw that she was embarrassed, she immediately stopped talking.
He reached out and picked up the water cup on the table, and while receiving the water, he asked Lin Li: "Aren't you busy today?
Lin Li said: "Can't you come over and brag and chat if you're fine?"
Li Xin put down the cup, picked up the cigarette on the table, threw one to him, and said, "Warm welcome, come often when you have time!"
Lin Li smiled: "How can I listen to what you mean by letting me go?"
Li Xin laughed and didn't explain.
Lin Li asked: "Has the price of sugar in the futures markets of Guidong and Yuexi fallen a little recently?"
Li Xin said: "Yes, from yesterday to this morning, the price of the futures market in the province fell by more than 70, and the price of the futures market outside the province fell by about 130. ”
Lin Li asked, "Do you think it will continue to fall in the afternoon?"
Li Xin was not surprised to see that he was not surprised after listening to these data, and knew that he had understood in advance, and said: "I can't say for sure, but I think it is more likely that sugar prices will fall in the long run." ”
Thinking of Yu Shuhua's uncharacteristic inquiring about the price of the futures market just now, he guessed that it was not accidental that Lin Li came to inquire about these things today, and it was probably on the instructions of Tang Jianhua.
It seems that their opinions were taken seriously at the morning meeting, at least from the side, which served to remind them of the risk of falling prices.
Lin Li asked: "Why did the market in the province fall less?"
Li Xin explained: "I feel that it may be the reason for the lag in information. If the market outside the province closes down today, the market in the province will fall tomorrow. ”
Lin Li said to himself: "It's not a good sign that the prices of these two provinces will take the lead in falling!"
Li Xin seemed to suddenly remember an important matter, and was about to ask Lin Li, so he asked: "Have the spot prices of the sugar mills you learned about have fallen?"
Lin Li said: "There is no fall. ”
Li Xin said with some disbelief: "The ex-factory price of the sugar factory has really not fallen?"
Seeing Li Xin's questioning expression, Lin Li said a little unhappily, "Why am I lying to you?"
Li Xin didn't care about Lin Li's attitude, and thought to herself: Is the information of the sugar factory really lagging so much?
But when you think about it, the price information of the futures exchange in Jiangcheng City lags behind the information outside the province by one day, and the nearest sugar factory in the province is two or three hundred kilometers away from Jiangcheng, so it is reasonable to react a little slower.
