Chapter 246: Some Regrets
Liu Zhongzhou asked one question after another until now, Huang Hongliang completely understood in his heart, Liu Zhongzhou was already suspicious of himself, so he hurriedly said: "Chairman, I really don't know about this matter, I only learned about it after listening to Jiang Hua at the meeting today." ”
When Liu Zhongzhou heard this, he was seventy or eighty percent sure in his heart, he felt that what Huang Hongliang said should still be true, but even so, he still threw a few words at Huang Hongliang: "The company is encountering some difficulties now, so we need everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties." If you don't work hard in a difficult time, you will get through it in the future, and then it will be too late to want benefits, don't you think that's the truth?"
Huang Hongliang listened to Liu Zhongzhou's words that had both the taste of carrots and the taste of sticks, and immediately understood what Liu Zhongzhou meant, and he quickly replied: "Chairman, don't worry, I am your old subordinate for many years, and I know what to do." ”
Liu Zhongzhou said: "That's good. ”
After putting down the phone, Liu Zhongzhou sat alone in the study and pondered: Judging from the current situation, Jiang Hua had known the news for a long time, but he had no brains and did not report to himself in time. Judging from the fact that he poked out this incident at the meeting today, he really did not deliberately conceal the news.
What about Huang Hongliang, now it seems that he really doesn't know the news, if he does, he shouldn't hide it from himself. After all, he is the general manager of the sales company, and he has much more brains than Jiang Hua in business, if he knew this heavy news, he would not fail to take action. In addition, judging from Huang Hongliang's words just now, the possibility of him forming an alliance with Xue Chenzhi is still very small.
But there is still one thing that makes Liu Zhongzhou feel a little uneasy, that is, Zheng Guorui, the Minister of Finance, he is the first person among the three people to know that Li Xin is long, but why does he hide this news from himself? Doesn't he know how important such news is to the company's business?
Zheng Guorui is the person who knows the funds on the futures account best, he knows that Li Xin bought and opened a position but did not report it, especially when he saw that the funds available in the company's futures account were getting less and less, but he was indifferent, what did he think in his heart?
Although Liu Zhongzhou was overwhelmed by the loss of 160 million yuan in front of him, he always believed that this was still a business problem after all, and Liu Zhongzhou was confident that this problem would be solved perfectly over time.
What Liu Zhongzhou is worried about now is whether there will be a fire in his backyard, which is the fundamental reason why he didn't know what it tasted like at today's dinner.
Now after talking to Jiang Hua and Huang Hongliang on the phone, he already has a clear judgment in his heart: Jiang Hua, Huang Hongliang and Zheng Guorui, although they all have their own problems, but the problems of the three of them still seem to be independent, and there is no possibility of an alliance between these three people.
As long as they don't gang up behind their backs, it's not a big threat to themselves, and it's only a matter of time before they can be defeated individually.
The only person who could bring the three of them together was Xue Chenzhi except himself. From Huang Hongliang's words just now, Liu Zhongzhou ruled out the possibility of Huang Hongliang defecting to Xue Chenzhi.
Huang Hongliang's sales network and Xue Chenzhi's smelter are the two major links on which the Southern Group depends, and the sum of their volume accounts for more than half of the total volume of the Southern Group, and their importance is self-evident.
And Liu Zhongzhou firmly believes that Huang Hongliang and Xue Chenzhi are also very aware of the importance of each other, as long as the two of them have not joined forces to deal with themselves, Liu Zhongzhou is relieved.
As for Jiang Hua, this person does not have important resources in his hands, Liu Zhongzhou himself just treats him as a microphone and a senior follower, some things that are inconvenient for him to say and things that are inconvenient for him to come forward to do, let Jiang Hua come forward to say and do it, the real core problem, Liu Zhongzhou will not tell Jiang Hua.
Liu Zhongzhou knew in his heart that for a person like Jiang Hua, Xue Chenzhi would not mix with him, even if Jiang Hua had this thought, it was estimated that Xue Chenzhi would not look down on him.
The question now is to find out what Zheng Guorui thinks in his heart, and whether there is a close connection between him and Xue Chenzhi, which is the most important thing.
Do you want to call now to test Zheng Guorui's attitude? Liu Zhongzhou can't make up his mind now.
Zheng Guorui is not the same as Jiang Hua and Huang Hongliang, he is a scholar and has a more careful mind, and if he asks inappropriately, it may backfire.
After thinking about it again, Liu Zhongzhou felt that it would be better to find an opportunity to ask Zheng Guorui when talking about related matters in the future.
In addition, judging from past experience, Liu Zhongzhou feels that the possibility of Zheng Guorui and Xue Chenzhi getting together is not impossible, but very small.
Liu Zhongzhou clearly remembers that not long ago, because of the shortage of funds, the idea of transferring funds from the sales company and smelter for the first time was Zheng Guorui. Xue Chenzhi complained about this, if Xue Chenzhi and Zheng Guorui had a close relationship in private, Zheng Guorui should not have come up with such an idea behind Xue Chenzhi's back.
There is another point, although the position of Zheng Guorui, the finance minister, is also very important, but it is not irreplaceable. His main role, in addition to dealing with banks, is the coordination and allocation of funds within the group.
These businesses can be done by another person. If Zheng Guorui has any problems, even if he changes generals on the spot, he will not delay himself too much. At this point, Liu Zhongzhou originally knew it in his heart.
From this point of view, Zheng Guorui is far less important than Huang Hongliang. Huang Hongliang is the general manager of the sales company, and in his hands, there are customer information and sales networks accumulated over the years, which are very important things.
In the living room, Liu Zhongzhou's wife and daughter sat together and watched TV while munching on melon seeds. His wife asked his daughter, "Have you noticed your father, he has been in a state of mind lately, and he has aged a lot, and I asked him what was going on, and he didn't say anything." ”
His daughter thought for a moment and said, "I guess it's a matter of futures." ”
His wife asked, "What's going on in the futures?"
His daughter said, "You forgot, didn't my dad say a long time ago that their company sold a lot of futures copper in the futures market?"
His wife said, "yes, what's wrong?"
His daughter whispered: "I saw on my computer that the price of copper has been skyrocketing recently, and I guess the copper they sold is now losing a lot of money." ”
His wife asked, "Really, how much will you lose?"
His daughter said: "How do I know this, it depends on how much my father and their company sell, and at what price." ”
His wife said anxiously, "How is this good?" When I asked him, he scolded me and told me not to meddle in my business. ”
His daughter threw the melon seed shell in her hand into the trash, patted the crumbs on her hand, and said, "My dad is right, what are you doing with this kind of thing, you can't get to the point." ”
His wife said, "Then you just watch your dad get angry and don't care about him." ”
His daughter said, "I don't know about this, how can I care? Besides, there are so many people in their company, don't worry about it, I'm going to watch a movie." With that, she put on her small satchel, opened the door and went out.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Zhongzhou felt that he was still sure to firmly control these three henchmen, so he went back to consider Li Xin's problem.
At the meeting this afternoon, the bombshell news thrown out by Jiang Hua was actually a very face-damaging thing for Liu Zhongzhou.
This is one of the reasons why Liu Zhongzhou secretly blamed Jiang Hua for having no brains. If Jiang Hua had reported this matter to Liu Zhongzhou earlier, Liu Zhongzhou would never have let the news be made public at such a meeting.
Liu Zhongzhou will be like Li Xin, covering up the news tightly, as long as Li Xin doesn't say it, Liu Zhongzhou will never confide half a word in public, because this result is too much to slap Liu Zhongzhou's face.
Since Liu Zhongzhou threw out this hedging strategy, he has refuted Li Xin's objections in person at several group management meetings, which is public in the eyes of everyone.
Now, when everyone has forgotten the differences between Liu Zhongzhou and Li Xin, Jiang Hua used this news to uncover Liu Zhongzhou's scars. Not only that, Li Xin's profit of 12 million yuan was like a magnifying glass, showing the huge losses caused by Liu Zhongzhou's hedging in front of these executives attending the meeting again.
Although Liu Zhongzhou is confident that he will win back this game in the future, in front of him, such a negative impact is still very damaging to Liu Zhongzhou's image.
At this time, Liu Zhongzhou began to carefully sort out Li Xin in his mind as if he was looking at the three henchmen just now, and he suddenly realized that there was a lack of a heart-to-heart conversation between himself and Li Xin. If this were not the case, the hedging would certainly have turned out much better than it is now.
At the beginning, he promoted Li Xin to the position of assistant to the chairman of the board of directors, just because he wanted him to give him more ideas, but not long after he was promoted, he publicly opposed his plan at the first meeting to discuss hedging.
Because of this, since that meeting, he has almost removed him and disqualified him from participating in management meetings.
However, as copper prices gradually rose, the losses of hedging positions continued to expand, and he had to use Li Xin again.
But even so, before this afternoon's meeting, Li Xin was still a dispensable person in his mind, if he needed to make an idea, he would let him speak, and when he didn't need an idea, he could leave him aside.
