Yuan Jie, who was intoxicated with love, tried her best to stay sober, things were developing in the direction she wanted, looking at the crazy Li Xin, she felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart.

This night, she did her best to be gentle, and even showed the coquettishness she had despised before in front of Li Xin, all in order to leave Li Xin's life information.

Hou Gui, the director of the cable factory, has been focusing on the technical transformation of the production workshop all day long, staying in the workshop all day to watch the installation and commissioning of new equipment, without taking into account the rise and fall of futures prices.

After this new set of equipment is put into production, it can expand the product line and produce new cables with higher profits.

At noon, he met Zhu Fangzheng at the door of the canteen, and Zhu Fangzheng asked as soon as he saw him: "Factory director, the reserve copper has been sold again, will the next batch of raw copper be purchased as planned, or will we wait a while?"

Hou Gui was taken aback: "When did this happen? Where did you get the news?"

Zhu Fangzheng saw Hou Gui's expression, and said strangely: "It's the news that came out the day before yesterday." ”

Hou Gui said sharply: "Why didn't you say it earlier? You're going to ruin my big deal!" After speaking, he didn't care about going to the cafeteria to eat, so he turned around and ran to his office.

Zhu Fangzheng looked at his distant back and said innocently: "Factory director, I thought you knew." ”

If this news is true, the futures price will not have to fall by a few hundred yuan, and those long positions in his hand will lose tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands!

I also blame myself for not having time to watch the market in front of the computer in the past two days, damn!

He hurriedly ran to the office to turn on the computer, and after looking at it carefully, the doubts in his heart became even greater: No, this is not down, yesterday and today is still rising, what is going on?

He grabbed the phone on the table and called Zhu Fangzheng: "Where did you get the news, is it true? I don't think the futures price has fallen." ”

Zhu Fangzheng said: "Factory director, the news must be true, it has been released on the Internet. ”

Hou Gui said: "What is the number of sell-offs?"

Zhu Fangzheng said: "20,000 tons. ”

Hou Gui said: "20,000 tons? I'll see what the hell is going on." Eh, you bring me a meal to my office. ”

Zhu Fangzheng said: "Okay. ”

After Hou Gui put down the phone, he concentrated on studying the futures price, and twenty minutes later, when Zhu Fangzheng came in with a boxed lunch, he already had an idea.

"Factory director, let's eat first, otherwise it will be cold in a while. Zhu Fangzheng put the lunch box on Hou Gui's desk.

Hou Gui stood up from the computer, took two bites of the boxed lunch, and asked, "Has the sales price of the Southern Group been lowered?"

Zhu Fangzheng said: "I don't know, I didn't ask, I'll call and ask after I go to work in the afternoon." ”

Hou Gui said: "Don't ask, it's definitely not down." ”

Zhu Fangzheng asked: "Factory director, how do you know that they haven't lowered the sales price?"

Hou Gui picked up a piece of back pot meat and stuffed it into his mouth to chew, saying, "Guess." ”

Zhu Fangzheng replied disapprenously: "Oh." He didn't dare to say it, but he didn't agree with Hou Gui's judgment in his heart.

This is the second time that the reserve copper has been sold, the last time the Southern Group did not lower the sales price, this time Zhu Fangzheng thought that the Southern Group would definitely lower the sales price, so he asked Hou Gui at the door of the canteen if he wanted to wait for the next batch of raw copper.

Before Zhu Fangzheng had time to think about why Hou Gui thought that the Southern Group would not lower the sales price, he heard Hou Gui instruct again: "You go and call the chief of the financial department, I have something to do with him." ”

Zhu Fangzheng agreed, and immediately turned around and went out to find the chief of the financial section.

A few minutes later, the chief of the financial section followed Zhu Fangzheng and walked in: "Factory director, are you looking for me?"

Hou Gui saw the two of them come in, pointed to the sofa in front of him with chopsticks, motioned for the two to sit down, he took a few bites by himself, finished the lunch box in his hand, and then took a sip of the water cup, and then said: "How much money is still in the account of the factory?

Seeing that the chief of the finance section had a difficult face, Hou Gui said again: "Half of it, 500,000 is no problem, right?"

The chief of the finance section glanced at Zhu Fangzheng and said, "Okay, let's transfer 500,000 yuan first." Factory director, you know, this has just paid for the equipment, and soon Manager Zhu will buy raw materials here, and if there is more, it will not be able to be opened, and when the payment comes back at the end of the month, it will be much more relaxed, and then 500,000 yuan will be transferred in. ”

Hou Gui said: "Then 500,000, you go and do it immediately, let's talk about the other 500,000, wait until the end of the month when the cucumbers and vegetables are cold, I don't know what the situation will be at that time." ”

The chief of finance said, "Okay. Director, that's it, right? I'll do it. ”

Hou Gui nodded, and the chief of the financial section opened the door and went out.

Hou Gui is doing buying hedging operations in the futures market, and Zhu Fangzheng and the chief of the financial department know about it.

The chief of finance is not too clear about the rise and fall of prices, so he doesn't care whether Hou Gui's operation is right or wrong, he only cares about whether the account is winning or losing, but fortunately, the futures account has made money so far. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the futures account is a loss, he doesn't dare not do what Hou Gui ordered, at most pretending to be poor and screaming bitterly.

Zhu Fangzheng is different, the rise and fall of copper prices is what he is most concerned about, seeing that the price of copper is about to fall, Hou Gui added funds to the futures account, he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Hou Gui was selling in the gourd, so he asked: "Factory director, what are you?"

Hou Gui looked at the computer screen and said to himself: "This price can't fall, hurry up and buy it!"

Zhu Fangzheng asked puzzledly: "Factory director, are you referring to the futures price?"

Hou Gui said: "It's all the same, the goods from the Southern Group, hurry up and buy them back when the time comes." ”

Zhu Fangzheng said: "Okay. ”

After a while, Zhu Fangzheng still didn't give up, and asked again: "Factory director, why do you think this price can't fall?"

Hou Gui pointed to the computer screen and said: "It's not that I don't think it can fall, when you just told me the news of the sale of copper reserves, I also thought that it would fall by seven or eight hundred yuan a day like last time." But you see, after this news, it still rose yesterday and today. ”

Zhu Fangzheng said: "Oh, no wonder you said that the Southern Group will not lower the sales price, right, factory director?"

Hou Gui said: "After the news of the last sell-off came out, it plummeted by a few hundred yuan on the same day, but it rose back again within a few days. If you look at yesterday's sell-off news, the end of the day was up, which was more obvious than last time. In addition, selling 20,000 tons at a time is too little, isn't it? Our small factory has to use thousands of tons of raw copper all year round, so what is the selling volume of 20,000 tons in the market? Especially in this kind of market where both purchase and sales are booming, the price cannot be beaten. ”

Zhu Fangzheng said worriedly: "Factory director, but if the price falls, won't we buy it early?"

Hou Gui said: "Are you stupid? What if the price doesn't fall and rises, won't we buy it late?"

Zhu Fangzheng's eyes rolled, not understanding the deep meaning of Hou Gui's words.

Don't look at Hou Gui, who had already started the hedging operation of buying raw copper, but it wasn't until just now that he suddenly understood the hedging theory that Li Xin had told him at the computer.

He's now starting to really think in that way.

Looking at Zhu Fangzheng's puzzled face, Hou Gui planned to wake him up. After all, Zhu Fang is his right-hand man, and the procurement of raw materials has to rely on him to do it specifically, and if he gets his ideas through, it will be easier to use in the future.

So Hou Gui said: "Do you have a number of cable sales prices in our factory, in the next few months, cable prices in the three situations of price increases, maintenance and decline, which one is the most likely?"

Zhu Fangzheng thought for a while and said, "I can't say for sure which one is the most likely, but I can be sure that it is the least likely to fall." ”

Hou Gui said: "You can determine which possibility is the least, this is actually the same, which means that we can basically lock in the sales price of the product, right?"

Zhu Fangzheng nodded: "Yes." ”

Hou Gui said: "Then let's look at the price of raw materials, you can talk about the future rise of copper prices, remain unchanged and fall, which is more likely?"

Zhu Fangzheng smiled and said, "Factory director, I can't say for sure, if I can calculate this accurately, then won't I make a fortune?"

Hou Gui said: "Then why do you have to wait for the price of raw copper to fall before buying?"

Zhu Fangzheng still didn't understand what Hou Gui meant, and still said according to his own thoughts: "Isn't it possible to save costs by falling?"

Hou Gui rubbed his forehead and said with hatred: "You can't be sure if the price of copper will fall, how can you save costs?"

Zhu Fangzheng blinked, speechless with a blank expression.

Hou Gui slapped the table and said, "You have determined the price of the product side, and if you are not sure about the price of the raw material side, your profit will not be determined, isn't that the case?"

Zhu Fangzheng nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Hou Gui said: "Then how do you determine the price of raw materials?"

Zhu Fangzheng said: "I can't be sure, I don't know if it will go up or down in the future." ”

Hou Gui said: "You pig's head! If you buy it, the price will be determined!"

Zhu Fangzheng blinked his eyes, seemed to understand what Hou Gui meant, and said, "Oh, factory director, what do you mean......?"

Hou Gui said: "Understood, right? If you don't set the price of raw materials, your profit margin will be uncertain, in the face of this situation, the wisest way is to choose the kind of situation that you can determine, and then determine the profit, instead of watching the biggest cake swing, and in the end even the smallest cake is not caught, this is hedging!"
