Carefree days are always easy, and before you know it, two months pass quickly.

Li Xin now has so much money in his hands, he himself is not good at smoking and drinking, and he usually does not have too much expenses, at most he takes Li Ying out to eat and travel.

He's already starting to pay attention and is ready to buy himself a good car.

However, now the general cars on the market are not looked down on, and the prices of those cars that are good are too expensive, and the price of the car is hundreds of thousands, which makes him a little reluctant.

Although he also likes cars very much, he still prefers to keep his money in futures compared to the excitement of fighting in the futures market.

It has entered the end of the crushing season, and the salesmen in the market outside the province have gradually returned to the company.

It's just that compared to the past, the atmosphere in the company at this time of year seems a little depressing.

Lin Li, who had just come back from outside the province, couldn't stay in the bustling business room, strolled along the corridor, and saw Gao Hui chatting in Li Xin's office, so he went in.

Gao Hui, who was sitting on the leather sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, picked up a fax from the coffee table, looked at it for a long time, sighed, and said. "In just half a year, who would have thought that the current sugar price would fall to 3,600 yuan!"

Lin Li walked over and sat beside him, took the piece of paper from his hand, looked at it for a while, and thought back to the hardships of running back and forth outside to buy and sell in the past few months, and said with a sigh. "Alas, what a miserable sight!"

Xia Xiaona listened to the two of them sighing at the side, so she smiled and said. "Why are you two talking so frustrating? You are the business elite of the sugar company. ”

"What elites, they're running out of food!" Lin Li said angrily with a dark face.

"Hehe, no, you all have nothing to eat, what are we going to do?" Xia Xiaona said.

"You're not in the business department, there are some things you don't know!" Gao Hui whispered.

"What's wrong? so mysterious?" Li Xin raised his head when he heard this.

Gao Hui got up and walked to the door to close the door, and whispered, "The company has lost a lot this year!"

"How much did you lose?" Li Xin asked.

"I'm afraid the specific number is only clear to Mr. Wu and Yao Li, the manager of the finance department. Gao Hui said.

"Then why do you say it's a big loss? Li Xin said.

"How can you guess blindly! You can just do the math!" Gao Hui said with a serious face.

"Tell me, how do you do the math?" Li Xin stood up and handed them cigarettes, lit one herself, leaned against the table and asked.

"It's very simple, if you subtract the purchase price and sales price of the cane sugar we sold this year, you can roughly estimate it. Gao Hui said.

When Xia Xiaona heard this, she said disappreciably: "Where will we know the purchase price and the sales price? The people in your branches are all secretive, and they are like military secrets. ”

"That's right. Li Xin said.

Gao Hui sat up straight on the sofa and said to Li Xin: "You see I'll roughly calculate it for you, don't talk about anything else, just talk about the 200 million loan." The three branches used the loans to buy more than 37,000 tons of sugar, which was not sold out until last month, in September. On average, the purchase price and sales price of each ton of sugar are inverted by no less than 1,000 yuan, which is a loss of 37 million yuan!"

"Your sugar will only be sold out this month, won't you? In another month or two, the new crushing season will soon begin!" Li Xin said in surprise.

"What am I lying to you for?" Gao Hui looked serious, and then continued: "Plus the loan interest payable, let's be simple, let's calculate it at 10%, that is, 20 million." These two figures alone add up to a total of 57 million! In fact, as far as I can tell, the interest on the loan should be higher, more than 10%!"

"The purchase price and the sales price of each ton of sugar are inverted by no less than 1,000 yuan, is there so much?" Li Xin was a little unconvinced.

"This is my estimate of the average spread, which should be about the same. If you don't believe it, ask Lin Li to see how he sells sugar in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Gao Hui pointed at Lin Li and said.

Lin Li nodded and said, "It's about the same, and these don't include sales expenses, if you count the freight and other miscellaneous expenses per ton of sugar, you will lose even more!"

Li Xin said: "I thought you had already sold out, but I didn't expect to lose so much in one ton!"

Lin Li said: "The price of sugar has fallen too fast, and as soon as the price falls, there will be no people to buy sugar." Originally, it was said that there was a gap between supply and demand this year, but then I felt that there was sugar everywhere, and there were more people selling sugar than buying sugar!"

Xia Xiaona said: "Do you know how much sugar has been imported this year? More than 2.9 million tons, the most in history!"

Lin Li said: "Not only these, but if it is only these imported sugars, the supply and demand are roughly balanced, and the price of sugar will not fall so much." I heard that there is a lot of sugar coming in from abnormal channels, no wonder the price of sugar has fallen like this!"

Li Xin thought for a while and asked Gao Hui: "With a loss of more than 57 million, won't the company break its bones?"

Gao Hui looked at Li Xin, lowered his voice and said: "It's not just a nerve-wracking injury! At this time last year, when the bank applied for this loan of 200 million yuan, I heard Yao Li, the manager of the finance department, say that the company's net assets are more than 50 million, and I can't remember the specific number, anyway, it is less than 60 million. What is the result of comparing these two numbers?"

Xia Xiaona said in surprise: "Isn't that insolvent?"

Lin Li took over the conversation and said, "What do you think? Just now I said that I was about to run out of food, and you still didn't believe it!"

Li Xin said: "If this is the case, the sugar company is finished!"

Xia Xiaona asked, "What about the sales business of the new crushing season?"

Lin Li said: "There is no business to do! Among the three branches, only the alcohol sales branch still has a little business, and their business is to use the existing alcohol depot to help sugar factories sell alcohol. The other branches have no money to do business at all. Otherwise, after a while, it will be the time when the sugar factory in the new crushing season will produce sugar, how will Gao Hui and I have time to sit and chat in your office?

A few people were whispering when the door was pushed open. A salesman from the sugar branch came in and said, "Manager Gao, Manager Lin, you are here, I am looking for you everywhere." Mr. Tang convened a meeting of the department managers and asked you to come over. ”

Gao Hui said: "I know, I'll come right away." ”

After the salesman closed the door and went out, Lin Li stood up and said to Gao Hui, "Let's go, let's have a meeting." ”

Gao Hui said to Li Xin and Xia Xiaona: "You just know what I told you just now, don't go out and talk nonsense!"

Before Li Xin and Xia Xiaona could speak, Lin Li said to him angrily: "Oh, what are you afraid of? It's not that we make it up, these are real things, no one can cover them up, and sooner or later the whole company will know about it! Let's take a walk, go to a meeting, and see what else they have to say!" After speaking, he went out with Gao Hui.

After seeing the two of them go out, Xia Xiaona looked at Li Xin thoughtfully and said, "You really said it!"

"What do you mean?" asked Li Xin.

"In April, you said in Mr. Wu's office that the price of sugar was going to plummet!" Xia Xiaona said.

When Li Xin heard this, she felt very uncomfortable, sighed and said, "Yes, they didn't think so at the time. You see, in just a few months, a sugar company in Nuoda has reached this point!"

Li Xin took a sip of water from the cup, put the cup down and said: "But to be honest, I didn't expect them to lose so much! I thought that when they saw the price of sugar falling, they would sell the sugar as soon as possible, but who knows that it will not be sold out until now, no wonder the average price difference between the purchase price and the sales price is so much lost by one ton! ”

"Do you think there is any hope for the company?" asked Xia Xiaona in a worried whisper.

"If you lose more than 1,000 yuan per ton of sugar as they said, the company will definitely be saved!" Li Xin said without thinking.

After Xia Xiaona heard this, she lowered her head heavily and stopped talking. The words of a few people just now made her full of worries about her future, if the company went bankrupt, what would she do?

When I graduated, I chose the right and left, and then I chose the sugar company. At that time, the company's reputation was not small, as long as you could enter the company, it would not be long before you could share a house, and I also went through some twists and turns before I entered this company.

But people are not as good as heaven, I didn't expect that in just a few years, such a large company would go bankrupt, and I had to find another way.

Knowing this, it was better to listen to your parents and go to the Chemical Design Institute, although there is no housing there, but you can live with your parents.

Now that the company is like this, what's the use of having housing? In the future, if you transfer to other units, won't you have to withdraw from the house here?

Lin Li's words also made Li Xin's mood very heavy, and he thought: No wonder the company has been deserted recently, it turns out that all the business has stopped.

The company's huge losses this time also made him personally experience the opportunities and risks in the capital market.

The difference between success and failure actually starts in the details, in the smallest of seconds.

Half a year ago, when I was short in the futures market, the people in the company were bullish, but half a year later, a company as big as a sugar company, due to a misjudgment of the market trend, collapsed in half a year, which really confirmed the sentence: the difference is a millimeter, and the error is a thousand miles.

There was such a big problem in the company, and those few leaders still pretended to be nothing, if it weren't for Lin Li's complaining today, they would have been kept in the dark.

Although Li Xin's mood is heavy, with his current strength, he subconsciously looks at the future of the sugar company from the perspective of a bystander, even if the company can't pay wages tomorrow, he is not worried at all.
