Chapter Seventy-Seven: The First Shoe
He has seen too many such looks, most of which appear on the faces of customers who have to close their positions because of losses. But why did Ma Tianming have such an expression? He really couldn't figure it out.
He took out a cigarette, handed it to Ma Tianming and said, "Mr. Ma, since the deal is closed, don't care about it, smoke a cigarette and rest for a while." ”
Ma Tianming took the cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long puff of smoke. With all this smoke, he finally let go of the worry that had been holding back in his heart for so long.
Zhang Jin said: "Isn't your batch of sugar going to be delivered? Now that the position has been opened, find time to contact the department in charge of delivery at the exchange, the delivery procedures are still relatively complicated, and it is better to complete it as soon as possible." You also have to find a warehouse to store these sugars outside, so it is better to transport them to the designated delivery warehouse as soon as possible. ”
Zhang Jin's words reminded Ma Tianming that this matter is not over, today is just to lock in the price, no longer worry about price fluctuations, but there are still many links to deal with later.
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still again, threw the unfinished cigarette into the ashtray, got up and said, "I'll let them do it when I go back." After saying that, he left in a hurry.
After Ma Tianming went out, Lao Zhao said: "There are a lot of people who take over the plate, these six hundred hands smashed into it without any movement, and they were all eaten in a few minutes, looking at this momentum, maybe it will really rise!"
Lao Chen said: "If it goes up, won't he lose money selling his 600 hands?"
Zhang Jin said: "His selling and opening a position seems to be shorting, but it is actually different from shorting. He doesn't lose money when it goes up, it's just a little less. ”
Lao Zhao said with a little pity: "He is also too anxious, he will sell it as soon as he comes in, and he won't look at it much." ”
Lao Chen smiled: "You don't have a backache when you stand and talk." If you have 600 hands in your hand, why don't you try it? Besides, people are called big spending, and when you make up your mind, you can start immediately, and you won't drag your feet. How can a small retail investor like you and me, who still want to come and go with one or two hand lists, and the carbon pen bites out a row of tooth marks and can't make up their minds. ”
Lao Chen's words caused a burst of laughter in the room.
Ma Tianming returned to the office, immediately found the business manager in, and instructed: "You go to the futures exchange in the afternoon, ask what to do with the delivery procedures, first transport our sugar to the designated delivery warehouse, if there is anything unclear, find the manager Zhang who came to open an account last time, he is familiar with people over there, let him take you to do it." ”
As soon as Ma Tianming finished arranging these, financial manager Sun Yi came in with a person: "Mr. Ma, this is Section Chief Zhang of the Sales Department of Zhulin Sugar Factory, who came to ask about the payment, saying that he wanted to see you." ”
Section Chief Zhang said: "Mr. Ma, can you handle the bill of exchange today and let me take it back? ”
Ma Tianming got up and said with a smiling face: "Section Chief Zhang, the matter of payment is not difficult for you, I'll talk to Director Wang, okay?"
Then, he glanced at the financial manager Sun Yi and said, "In this way, you can arrange it, you are responsible for Section Chief Zhang's food and lodging problems, and you have to entertain them!"
He turned his head again and said to Section Chief Zhang: "Rest assured, stay in Jiangcheng for two days, and I'll let them take you around." ”
After a lot of talking, after temporarily sending the people away, Ma Tianming rubbed his temples and thought: I have to talk to Wang Dong about this matter, otherwise the people will not leave. If he doesn't leave and comes to the company every day to entangle, it will be troublesome.
Wang Dong is thinking about the payment, and the sales section chief should also go to Ma Tianming's company, why is there no news at all?
At this moment, Ma Tianming's call arrived: "Director Wang, hello, I'm Ma Tianming." ”
Wang Dong said: "Mr. Ma, hello. Section Chief Zhang of our sales department went to your company to settle the payment, did anyone arrive?"
Ma Tianming said with a smile: "Section Chief Zhang has arrived. Director Wang, the payment is like this, it is what I told you last time, I really can't help it now, you can only give it to you by the middle of next month, do you think about it?"
Seeing that Ma Tianming was still saying that, Wang Dong said impatiently: "I'm really waiting for it to be used in a hurry, you just have to think of a way to give it to me first." ”
Ma Tianming said: "I really can't turn around now, if there was a way, I would have given it to you a long time ago." ”
Wang Dong was a little puzzled and asked, "No, it's been more than a month, could it be that you haven't made a move on those sugars yet?"
Ma Tianming said: "I have already sold the sugar, but the payment will not arrive until the middle of next month." ”
Wang Dong said: "Mr. Ma, how can this be, you won't fool me, right?"
Ma Tianming thought to himself, it seemed that it would not be possible to tell him the truth, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Director Wang, how is it possible? Let me tell you the truth, I sold those sugars in the futures market, and the payment for the goods will not arrive until the delivery is completed in mid-May, so I can only give you the payment at that time." ”
When Wang Dong heard this, he understood it all in his heart: Ma Tianming's trick makes it beautiful, a typical empty glove white wolf, who does business without spending a penny, and doesn't have to think about the construction of sales teams and channels!
Nima's, this kid is a ghost!
He can do this, and he can do it himself. No one knows better than themselves what the quality and cost of the cane sugar produced in their own factory is.
When it comes to the futures market, he can't help but think of the big heel fight planted in the futures market last year.
But if you think about it, the situation is still a little different.
Last year, it was speculation, and it was a purchase, not a sale of products from its own factory.
If you change your thinking, like Ma Tianming, you may be able to use the futures market as a channel for selling goods.
At least compared to Ma Tianming, there is one less intermediate link in doing this, and his profit should be better at the same price.
After another gamble and swear with Wang Dong on the phone, Ma Tianming finally passed this hurdle. After putting down the phone, he couldn't relax at all. He knew that he didn't know how many more times he would face such a thing in the next month.
The shrewd Wang Dong was obedient and obedient, and from the call, he also felt that Ma Tianming didn't seem to have any crooked ideas. As long as this company is still there, even if Ma Tianming can run the monk, he won't be able to run the temple.
Besides, isn't there still the Light Industry Department, the superior department of their company? It is impossible for Ma Tianming to close his doors and run away like some private enterprise bosses.
After Section Chief Zhang came out of Ma Tianming's office, he did not immediately go to the hotel according to the arrangement of the financial manager Sun Yi, but used the excuse that he came to the light industry supply and marketing company for the first time and wanted to visit.
Sun Yi, the financial manager, couldn't refuse his request, so he took him to look around in various departments of the company.
After going around, Section Chief Zhang went to the finance department to sit and chat with Sun Yi. Keeping in mind Wang Dong's advice, he watched and listened to all directions, and carefully observed the light industry supply and marketing company.
From his point of view, everything is normal with this company. Especially in the finance department, there is nothing abnormal about the work of the accounting cashier, and these scenes do not look like they are faked for themselves.
Anyway, everything he should have done has been done, and Ma Tianming, who Wang Dong is most worried about not knowing, is still in the company, as for how to connect between their leaders in that account, it is not something that he can control.
Sun Yi could see that Section Chief Zhang was wary, and when he saw Section Chief Zhang's eyes blazing and looking around, he felt a little unhappy in his heart at first, but he didn't show it at all on his face.
Ma Tianming arranged for him to receive Section Chief Zhang, but he didn't dare to be careless at all.
The company owed more than 2 million yuan to the other party's sugar factory, and when Section Chief Zhang saw Ma Tianming, who was at the same level as his factory director, he did not have the slightest courtesy to his superiors, and opened his mouth to urge the payment.
In this regard, Ma Tianming, who usually has a straight face to his subordinates in the company and does not smile, does not mind, but explains with a smile on his face. Then, immediately let yourself be the financial manager in charge of receiving visitors, rather than having the office clerk do the usual with ordinary customers.
These all show that the person who comes can't afford to offend, and if he doesn't entertain the other party well, in case he causes any unhappiness, Ma Tianming will only vent his anger on himself. He didn't want to touch it.
At noon, Sun Yi called two little girls from his finance department to accompany him to a nearby Sichuan restaurant to entertain Section Chief Zhang.
In a distinctively decorated private room, Sun Yi ordered a table of appetizers, asked for two bottles of famous local koji wine, and asked the two little girls to sit on both sides of Section Chief Zhang.
During the banquet, he only persuaded him to eat and drink, and never mentioned anything about work.
Since Ma Tianming promised to talk to the factory director Wang Dong by himself, he didn't dare to talk too much in this regard, lest he not match the caliber when he got it and leave a truth for the other party.
In fact, Section Chief Zhang at this time had already forgotten about his work, at least for the time being.
In the past, at the wine table, Section Chief Zhang was mostly a guest of the factory director Wang Dong, and he was rarely taken seriously.
But this time when he came to the provincial capital, Sun Yi's specifications for receiving him were not lower than the courtesy that Wang Dong usually received. Especially when he specially asked two beauties to drink with him, in his impression, he had gone out to drink with Wang Dong so many times, and Wang Dong did not have such treatment.
He was a little flattered for a while, he couldn't stand the toasts of the two beauties around him in turn, and at the end of the meal, he was already a little too drunk to drink.
Sun Yi's trick has been tried and tested repeatedly.
It is said that women are born with a volume of four taels, and he was not good at drinking, but later at the wine table, he found that a few little girls under his command who had just left school were no worse than the battle-hardened male salesmen.
So from then on, as long as there was a drink to socialize, he would call a few of his little girls, so as to show that he cared about his subordinates, and did not forget them when he had the opportunity to eat and drink.
Second, there are these beauties greeting at the wine table, persuading them to drink and drink these things that give them headaches, and the effect is surprisingly good.
