Chapter 417: You Live Separately
"Of course, Mr. Ma, don't worry. Several district managers replied in unison.
Ma Tianming has been unsuccessful in the sales company in recent years, and he has almost never invited his subordinates to drink except for inviting customers to drink.
Today he is in a good mood, and the bright future in his heart drives him to fight with his gang for the first time. By the time he got home drunk, it was past 10 o'clock at night.
The next day, Ma Tianming slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and when he arrived at the company, the morning futures trading was almost closed.
Now that all the funds in his hands have been replaced by cane sugar, paying close attention to price changes has become his only concern.
A few days ago, when Lin Li was busy buying goods in the sugar factory, Ma Tianming even had a strange psychology, he was worried that the price of sugar would rise rapidly, so that he would completely miss this opportunity to make money.
But now he thinks the opposite.
But as the old saying goes, nine times out of ten, life doesn't go your way. Now when Ma Tianming hopes that the price of sugar will rise, the trend of sugar prices is a little different from what he thinks.
For two consecutive days, the trend of sugar prices has been suppressed below 4,100 yuan. Every time it rebounds to the $4,100 line, it is obvious that the price will be suppressed.
Watching the center of gravity of sugar prices gradually move downward, getting farther and farther away from the high point of 4,199 yuan a few days ago, and seeing that it was about to fall below the 4,000 yuan mark, Ma Tianming's heart couldn't help but beat a little drum.
Although there is a certain difference between the sales price and the futures price on the market in each region, the trend is basically the same.
Judging from this trend, these goods in my hands have been upside down for nearly 120 yuan.
Ma Tianming couldn't figure out why the rapid rise from 3,600 yuan more than two weeks ago to around 4,100 yuan was now suddenly weakened.
After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood: tomorrow is Thursday, the day after tomorrow is Friday, because of the Golden Week holiday, although he has to go to work this Saturday and Sunday, the exchange is not open. That is to say, before May Day, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are the last two trading days. After these two days, it is already a matter of the next Monday for the futures market to open for trading again. Because there is a 7-day vacuum period in the middle, all parties in the market will not raise prices at this time in order to prevent risks. This should be the most fundamental reason why sugar prices have been stagnant until May Day.
After thinking about this truth clearly, Ma Tianming's hanging heart gradually relaxed.
He secretly thought in his heart: Good food is not afraid of being late, and the more the goods in his hand are in the future, the more valuable they are.
At dinner on Friday, Xia Xiaona said to her parents: "Dad, Mom, Li Xin and I are going out to play during the May Day Golden Week." ”
Xia Xiaona's mother asked, "Where to play?"
"Go to Shanghai. ”
"So far, how long are you going to go?" Xia Xiaona's mother stopped her chopsticks.
"It's Golden Week. ”
Xia Xiaona's father asked, "Just the two of you?"
"That's right. ”
"No!" Xia Xiaona's father's face changed.
"Why not?" said Xia Xiaona, frowning, and said with an unhappy expression.
"Then you still need to ask?" Xia Xiaona and her father scolded her when she saw that her daughter dared to speak back.
Xia Xiaona has been treated as a pearl in the palm of her father since she was a child, holding it in her hand for fear of falling, holding it in her mouth for fear of melting, and she has never been scolded by her father like this.
Now that she was suddenly scolded by her father, Xia Xiaona was psychologically difficult to accept for a while. She pouted and turned her face to the side, protesting to her parents without saying a word.
Xia Xiaona's mother froze when she saw that the father and daughter froze, and quickly glanced at her husband, and then persuaded her daughter: "Nana, listen to your father, your father is also good for you." You discuss with Li Xin, don't go to such a far place, just like these weekends, don't you go out every weekend to play? Go out in the morning and come back in the evening, how good it is, and it saves us from worrying, right?"
Xia Xiaona plucked up the courage and said: "You can't always treat me like a child, how old am I? You have to take care of me when I go out to play and come back a little later, and you won't let me go on vacation during the holidays, do you really think this is good for me?"
Xia Xiaona has always been a well-behaved and sensible daughter in the eyes of her parents, and she has never said a word to her parents. Now she suddenly protested against her parents' actions, which made Xia Xiaona's parents feel very sudden.
Xia Xiaona's parents exchanged surprised glances with each other, her mother saw her husband frowning and about to open her mouth to speak, knowing that her husband would definitely scold Xia Xiaona again when he was angry, so she quickly shook her head at her husband and stopped him.
Xia Xiaona was twisting her head to the side and sulking at this time, completely ignoring her parents' actions.
Xia Xiaona's mother knew that what her daughter said was reasonable, so she had to use a delaying tactic. She said to her daughter: "Nana, don't go this time, there will be opportunities in the future, why don't you go again in the future?"
When Xia Xiaona heard that her mother was coaxing herself like a child with her old tricks in the past, she was even more angry: "I just said that you have always treated me as a child, but you still say that you are not! Since you can go next time, why can't you go this time? Li Xin has already booked a plane ticket!"
Xia Xiaona's mother was not happy when she heard this: "Nana, didn't you cut it first and then play it? You have booked all the air tickets and the itinerary has been arranged before you came to tell us, are you respecting us?"
"I'm already an adult, and I can't make my own decisions when I go out on vacation with my boyfriend, is this because you don't respect me, or do I disrespect you? If you think I don't respect you if I tell you later, then I have nothing to say!" Xia Xiaona stood up after speaking, regardless of the fact that the rice in the bowl was only half eaten, turned around and went back to her bedroom.
Xia Xiaona's father had never seen his daughter lose his temper with him like this, he was so angry that he stared at his daughter's back, pointed to his daughter's back and said to his wife: "Look at her, the older she gets, the more ignorant she becomes, what is this like?
Xia Xiaona's mother saw that her husband was in a hurry, and smiled faintly and said, "Heh, now blame me for being used to my daughter?" When I said two words to her before, who was the first to jump out and protect me from saying it?"
Xia Xiaona's father glared: "Am I used to her? Will I be used to her as a person who only has a boyfriend and no parents?!"
Xia Xiaona's mother saw that her husband looked anxious, she understood her husband's feelings of loving and caring for her heartbroken daughter, she held her husband's hand and whispered: "My daughter is older!"
Xia Xiaona's father was obviously stunned when he heard his wife's words.
Xia Xiaona's mother then said to her husband: "What Nana said also makes sense, we can't treat her as a child all the time, why don't we let her go, I'll go and tell her?"
Seeing that her husband was deep in thought and didn't speak, Xia Xiaona's mother knew that he understood what she meant. She patted her husband on the shoulder and said, "You eat first, and I'll go talk to Nana." With that, she stood up and walked towards Xia Xiaona's bedroom.
Xia Xiaona was sulking in bed. This is the journey she is most looking forward to, don't look at what she told her parents outside just now, if her parents really don't agree with her going, she really doesn't dare to disobey.
She is now worrying about how to explain to Li Xin if she can't convince her parents. More importantly, she was unwilling to give up this beautiful journey.
Seeing her mother come in at this moment, Xia Xiaona knew that her mother must have come in again to convince her, so she turned her head to the side.
Xia Xiaona's mother sat on the edge of her daughter's bed and said to her, "I ran away before I finished eating, go, go out to eat." ”
Xia Xiaona said angrily: "Don't eat, don't be hungry!"
Xia Xiaona's mother saw that her daughter twisted her head to the wall and didn't speak angrily, so she said, "You still say that you are an adult, why are you still playing with a child's temper?"
Seeing that her daughter still didn't speak, she changed the subject: "Let me ask you, how does Li Xin treat you?"
Xia Xiaona didn't understand the meaning of her mother's words, and said blankly: "It's very good to me, what's wrong?"
"Has there been any change in his attitude towards you since I spoke to him last time?"
"What did you talk to him about?" Xia Xiaona still didn't understand.
"It's the time you were going to see the rape flowers, I told him downstairs, you forgot?" Xia Xiaona's mother reminded her daughter.
Xia Xiaona remembered now: "That's the time you said you wanted to give him an idea for his investment?"
"That's right. ”
"Mom, you guys are really, what ideas can you give to others for this kind of thing?
"Did Li Xin say this?" Xia Xiaona's mother hurriedly asked.
"No, people don't take it to heart. ”
Xia Xiaona's mother became more vigilant when she heard this: "What do you mean? You mean that he is taking our words as a deaf ear!"
"Alas, the more I talk, the more chaotic it becomes!" Xia Xiaona said anxiously.
"Then you should tell me well, what the hell is going on?"
Xia Xiaona sat up and explained to her mother: "Li Xin understands your kindness very much, thinks that you are doing it for his good, and is worried that he will make a mistake. I said this to make trouble for him, not Li Xin. ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, why am I lying to you?"
"That's good. ”
"Mom, are you right? You and my dad don't understand this, you have to give ideas to others, not to cause trouble for others?"
"Silly girl, we're doing this for your good, I really don't know good people's hearts!"
"Mom, if you're good for me, tell me before you say anything to Li Xin next time, okay? Don't let me stand by stupidly like last time and don't know anything, if Li Xin doesn't know, I think I colluded to let you say it!" Xia Xiaona complained.
When Xia Xiaona said this, her mother remembered that her daughter hadn't answered the question she asked just now.
