Li Xin asked, "How are Yu Shuhua of the alcohol company and Yao Juncai of the material company doing now?"

Yu Hong said: "Yu Shuhua is now retired at home, with grandchildren or something, Yao Juncai is also retired early, he often carries a birdcage outside to walk birds, and they are still living in our community." ”

Li Xin said: "That's not bad. ”

Gao Hui said: "This is not a good thing, that is, it is just an early retirement to care for the elderly at home, and it is really impossible to mention it." Have you noticed? It turns out that these cadres above the middle level of the sugar company are basically older, and if this were not the case, it is estimated that the sugar company would not have come to this point. ”

Li Xin said: "Yes, Tang Jianhua and Yao Li are still a little younger, but they are both in their early 40s, Yu Shuhua and Yao Juncai are both people who are about to run 50, not to mention Mr. Wu, nearly 60 people." Their ideas are a bit old, and the market has changed a lot in recent years, so it is not surprising that their thinking cannot keep up with the rhythm, which is also one of the reasons why the sugar company has problems. ”

Gao Hui asked, "What do you think of these people in the Southern Group now?"

Li Xin said, "What do you mean?"

Gao Hui said: "Do you think Huang Hongliang is not like Tang Jianhua?"

Li Xin thought about it carefully and said, "Don't say it, these two people are really a little similar." ”

Gao Hui smiled: "Is my feeling very accurate?"

Li Xin joked: "I also wonder, does the general manager of the sales company have to be like Huang Hongliang and Tang Jianhua who eat meat in large pieces and drink in large bowls to be able to do it?"

Gao Hui said: "Simply doing sales, people with a personality like them are really more suitable, but if you do high-end, reckless heroes may not be able to adapt to it." ”

Li Xin asked, "What do you mean by high-end?"

Gao Hui said: "For example, the operation of hedging is different from simple sales, and it should be a relatively high-end operation." ”

As soon as Li Xin heard it, he knew what Gao Hui was referring to. He nodded and said, "Yes, hedging is closely related to sales, but it is more about things other than sales, and you can't do it if you can't think about it holistically." ”

Gao Hui originally thought that Liu Zhongzhou's idea of hedging was Li Xin's idea, but since the news of Li Xin's long profit in the futures market came out this afternoon, Gao Hui no longer thinks so.

Reminiscent of the previous time when copper prices rose, Huang Hongliang's words were full of expectations for the fall of copper prices several times, and Gao Hui now believes that Liu Zhongzhou's operation of hedging and selling copper in the futures market should be Huang Hongliang's idea.

Gao Hui is on the front line of sales, watching the rise in copper prices along the way, so that the sales company has made a very considerable profit. But now these profits are almost all swallowed up by the losses caused by the 20,000 tons of futures sold, which reminds him of Tang Jianhua's operation, so he said what he said just now.

Listening to Li Xin's words, Gao Hui asked in a low voice: "Do you think the Southern Group will follow the old path of the sugar company?"

Li Xin said: "It shouldn't be, the Southern Group is such a big family business, and these losses in front of it will not make it hurt." ”

Gao Hui said: "But how can I have an ominous premonition, you see that this loss in their futures is much bigger than the loss that brought down the sugar company back then." ”

Li Xin didn't say anything when he heard this, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, as if he wanted to use this move to divert the topic. He really didn't know how to answer Gao Hui, because he himself continued to be bullish on copper prices, and felt that copper prices should rise by a few thousand yuan, so that the losses in the futures account of the Southern Group would continue to expand.

But then again, Li Xin himself can't see what the copper price will be like by the end of the year. Maybe by that time, the price of copper will fall as Liu Zhongzhou predicted? In this case, the losses in the futures account of the Southern Group will not be so much, and maybe there will be profits.

Before he could come up with an answer, he saw Lin Li holding up his wine glass and saying, "Come on, let's take a sip." Gao Hui and Li Xin, don't bite your ears, if you have something to say, let everyone listen to it. ”

Xia Xiaona also complained: "That's it, Gao Hui always mutters to Li Xin alone today, as if he doesn't want us to know something." ”

Li Xin picked up the teacup to deal with Lin Li, and said to Xia Xiaona: "No, we are still talking about the sugar company in the past." ”

Xia Xiaona asked, "Li Xin, I heard that you don't live in the company's neighborhood anymore, where are you moving to now?" Would you like to invite us to play with you another day?"

Li Xin said: "No problem, come to my place another day when you have time." ”

At this moment, Lin Li's mobile phone rang, and the wine glass he was holding gestured to Li Xin and the others, then brought it to his lips, raised his head and took a sip, then quickly put the wine glass on the table, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and said to the mobile phone: "Mr. Ma." ”

Ma Tianming said on the phone: "Tomorrow, you will report to me the sales and inventory statistics of this month." ”

Lin Li said, "Okay, I'll send it to you at about ten o'clock in the morning." ”

Ma Tianming asked, "Why are you so lively there, are you drinking with customers?"

Lin Li said: "No, just Gao Hui, a few of our colleagues in the company get together. ”

Ma Tianming said: "Oh, remember to give me the statistical report tomorrow." ”

Lin Li said: "Surely, goodbye, Mr. Ma." ”

As soon as Lin Li put down the phone, Gao Hui said: "You are also Ma Tianming's right-hand man now, he can chase you to the dinner table for dinner, the mainstay." ”

Lin Li shook his head and said: "What a mainstay, even if it is a coolie, it depends on who it is with, right? I think it is enough under Ma Tianming's hands!"

Gao Hui said: "What do you mean, I heard you have something to say?"

Yu Hong also said: "Yes, just now you said that you wanted to return to the sugar company, and now you are the only one who has the same job as when you were in the sugar company, why do you feel bad?"

Lin Li took a piece of meat from the squirrel fish that had just turned over, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said unhurriedly: "I mean, Ma Tianming is not suitable for business, and Tang Jianhua has more ways to do cane sugar business." You see how big the sugar company was at the beginning, but now in Ma Tianming's hands, there is only less than one-third of the amount left, and it is getting smaller and smaller. ”

Gao Hui said: "Li Xin and I were still talking just now, Tang Jianhua's way of doing business is relatively wild, but it was because he was so eager for quick success that he abolished the sugar company." There is also a reason why the sugar sales business has shrunk like this; after the news of the sugar company on the verge of bankruptcy came out, how many sugar factories still dared to continue to do business with the sugar company? If this business could still maintain the scale it had at the beginning, would the sugar company still fall to the point of being merged? Now the sugar cane business in Ma Tianming's hands is not the main business of the Southern Group, and it is good to have such a scale. ”

Lin Li said: "Of course I know this, but what you don't know is that now the sugar business is really not as good as before, the card is too tight, and many of the subsidies we used to travel outside have been greatly reduced, not only to run the horses, but also not to let the horses eat grass, go out to sell sugar for a month or two, and come back with empty fists in both hands, no oil and water at all, it's really boring." ”

Gao Hui didn't squeak when he heard it, although he didn't know how much Lin Li's current salary and bonuses could get, but listening to Lin Li's complaining tone, he estimated that Lin Li's current income was not as good as when he was at the best in the sugar company, if this was the case, then Lin Li's monthly income would be much less than his own.

Yu Hong persuaded Lin Li: "It's almost the same, our salary is about the same as when we were in the sugar company." ”

Xia Xiaona also said: "That's right." ”

Lin Li said: "The two of you sit in the office, which is different from us running business outside. If I sit in the office, I don't have anything to say about getting this salary. ”

Lin Li followed Xia Xiaona and Yu Hong to say this, his eyes fell on Li Xin, and he suddenly stopped talking, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Alas, don't say it, don't say it, drink and drink!"

After speaking, he picked up the wine glass again and drew half a circle towards Li Xin and the others, and before others could respond, he drank all the wine in the glass alone, then picked up a cigarette on the table, lit it and lowered his head to smoke, and stopped talking.

In terms of income, although Lin Li is full of complaints, Xia Xiaona and Yu Hong are not taken seriously by him, even Gao Hui, whom he envies now, he still thinks that he can be compared with Gao Hui, although there is a gap in quantity, it is still an order of magnitude. But to Li Xin, he was speechless, he knew that he and Li Xin were not comparable at all.

Seeing Lin Li like this, Li Xin and Gao Hui didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere on the table was a little dull for a while.

After Ma Tianming returned home, the more he thought about it, the more he regretted that he didn't take the opportunity to go out with Li Xin and them to celebrate when he was in the yard just now.

Just now, he was thinking that Gao Hui, Lin Li and a group of subordinates from the original sugar company were present, and he would feel a little embarrassed. Looking back now, none of this mattered, but rather a better opportunity.

Just imagine, if you go out to eat with Li Xin alone, will the topic be a little difficult to open? And with Gao Hui, Lin Li and others present, they are all old colleagues of the original sugar company, and the topic and atmosphere will be much closer.

It turned out that he was looking for an opportunity to get closer to Li Xin, that is, because he couldn't find a good opportunity, this matter was delayed again and again, and until now Li Xin has made a lot of money, and he has not realized the original plan.
