Also, the Southern Group is gradually declining at the hands of Jin Changxing and Xue Chenzhi, and asking the two of them about the reasons for the decline of the Southern Group is not revealing the scars of others?

Comparatively speaking, Liu Zhongzhou, as the former chairman of the Southern Group who first cooperated with him, has a closer connection of interests with each other. Although Liu Zhongzhou is now on the sidelines, his identity and status are much stronger than Jin Changxing, at least he is not a waste.

Another important reason is that when Liu Zhongzhou was in office, the life of the Southern Group was the best. As the former chairman, watching the two successors behind him make the Southern Group worse year by year, he will definitely have a lot of complaints in his heart. In this case, if he called him at this time and talked to him side by side, he would definitely be able to get a lot of things that Jin Changxing and Xue Chenzhi refused to say.

If it weren't for this reason, President Yang wouldn't have bothered to deal with Liu Zhongzhou.

People who mess with things in officialdom have an instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they will flock to those who have a bright future and are on the rise, lest they will not be able to answer with others. For them, whether they can get a ride on the next level with these promising people is another matter, at least it is an auspicious thing to be with these people.

But for those who have fallen from high positions and are in the midst of falling, they are afraid to avoid them. For them, being with such a person will definitely not bring them career and career benefits, and it seems so unlucky, for fear that the bad luck in these people is likely to be contaminated on themselves, which will cast a shadow on their future and career.

So before President Yang called Liu Zhongzhou, he carefully weighed it in his heart, he thought that he was just talking to Liu Zhongzhou on the phone, and he didn't meet, even if Liu Zhongzhou had any bad luck, it was impossible to pass the bad luck to himself through the phone signal, right?

When Liu Zhongzhou first saw the call from President Yang on his mobile phone, he also wondered why President Yang would still call him now. Whether he is in front of the office or at the door of his house now, he can be described as a cold and sparse door. It turned out that the people who surrounded him when he was the chairman of the board of directors are now long gone, and he now really feels what it means to make people go away.

President Yang's phone call was the first call he had received from a high-ranking person in more than a year, and Liu Zhongzhou was surprised at the same time, but also vaguely with a hint of expectation, hoping that this call could bring a touch of heat to his career that had fallen to a low point. After answering the phone and hearing President Yang's polite words, Liu Zhongzhou also said haha: "Hello, Hello, President Yang, long time no see." ”

President Yang knew that Liu Zhongzhou was also a person who had been a leader, everyone was smart to each other, and the interests between the two were once very close, and it seemed too hypocritical to go around and around to make polite words, and it was better to get straight to the point. So after these polite words of the opening remarks, President Yang also entered the topic directly: "Mr. Liu, what is going on with the Southern Group? A few years ago, it was still beautiful, how did it become like this in a blink of an eye?"

Liu Zhongzhou sighed: "Alas, it's hard to say! I've been standing aside for so long now, I'm afraid they know some things better." ”

Governor Yang knew that what Liu Zhongzhou said was Jin Changxing and Xue Chenzhi, so he said: "Hey, what do you have to talk to him about? Besides, isn't there such a saying? You may see it better when you are not in its place. Also, we're iron buddies, and there are some things that are hard to talk to them, but we can talk straight between us, right?"

"That's, that's. Governor Yang's heart-attacking strategy still played some role, and after Liu Zhongzhou heard these words, he had no one to greet him for a long time, and there was a trace of warmth in his heart.

President Yang keenly felt that Liu Zhongzhou was not disgusted with him at this time, so he asked while the iron was hot: "Mr. Liu, what link is wrong with the Southern Group, how can you say that it is gone?"

Liu Zhongzhou sneered: "Hehe, which link will go wrong? There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are the overlords, so this is the problem!" It was really like what Governor Yang said, Liu Zhongzhou, who was idle on the side and did not have any real power, as a bystander, really saw all the details of the Southern Group's transformation from prosperity to decline. As the former chairman, he is very aware of every step of the operation of the Southern Group, and also knows where problems can bring fatal damage to the entire group.

After hearing Liu Zhongzhou's words, President Yang was secretly happy in his heart, which proved that his estimate just now was correct, Liu Zhongzhou was removed from the position of chairman when he was in the limelight, and he must have been very aggrieved when he saw that a good enterprise group in his hands was made beyond recognition by his successor. With his resentment, he can just inquire about the inside story of the Southern Group that is not known to outsiders.

So President Yang said smoothly: "I'll just say, Mr. Liu, when you were the chairman, the Southern Group was booming, but in the blink of an eye, just over two years have passed, and such a large enterprise group has reached the point of being bankrupt and auctioned, don't say you can't figure it out, I can't figure it out." The question now is whether the Southern Group will make any improvement in the near future? Otherwise, at the current price, even if I sell all the smelters and mines, I will not be able to recover all the loans. We are iron buddies who talk about everything, and Mr. Liu, you are the person who knows the Southern Group best. Mr. Liu, tell me the bottom, will there be some hope for the Southern Group in the next two or three months?"

Hearing this, Liu Zhongzhou completely understood the purpose of President Yang's phone call, it turned out that President Yang wanted to inquire whether there was room for the asset price of the Southern Group to rise in the recent period, no wonder Governor Yang just said that he had nothing to talk about with Jin Changxing, Xue Chenzhi and others. Originally, the Southern Group and the bank were about to go to court, and it had reached the point where the enemies were very angry when they saw each other, and they all said that there was no good hand to fight and no good scolding. At this time, as representatives of both sides, it would be strange if President Yang and Xue Chenzhi could still sit together and talk about things calmly.

What's more, as far as Liu Zhongzhou knows, the black cauldron that Xue Chenzhi is carrying now is not made by Xue Chenzhi himself. To tell the truth, Xue Chenzhi, who succeeded as chairman after Jin Changxing's accident, can be regarded as a generation, he has not lived a few good days in the position of chairman, and he is all busy cleaning up the mess for Jin Changxing. asked him to calmly accept the bank's consultation and criticism, Liu Zhongzhou knew that Xue Chenzhi was not that kind of person.

In fact, Liu Zhongzhou watched the Southern Group gradually come to this point, and his feelings in his heart were quite complicated, he was both gloating and unwilling.

Gloating, he remembered that when Jin Changxing decided to take out a large loan from the bank to buy a new mine, he had persuaded Jin Changxing at a meeting of the group's senior executives, reminding him that the price of copper was too high at that time, and the cost of the mine was also high, and that it might not be a good time to buy a mine at that time. Instead, consider Li Xin's suggestion at the time to sell and hedge the smelter's products at a time when copper prices are at historic highs, which may be less risky than buying a mine.

However, after listening to his own reminder, Jin Changxing ridiculed him and made fun of him with the fact that he had done the same selling hedging during the rise in copper prices and caused huge losses. If Jin Changxing had spoken more rationally at that time and talked about this matter with a calm and exploratory attitude, instead of using this kind of sneering tone to make himself lose face in front of a room full of former subordinates, Liu Zhongzhou would have had something to say at that time.

But because of Jin Changxing's arrogance, Liu Zhongzhou swallowed all the words that had come to his mouth. He thought to himself at the time: Since you are so sure that no one is in your eyes, and the future of this matter has nothing to do with me, then you can play by yourself, I won't worry about it. That's right, I've fallen into a pit before, but I hope you don't fall into a pit like I did, or you won't tell me that I'm watching your jokes!

Although Liu Zhongzhou was not sure that what he said was necessarily right, as the former chairman of the Southern Group, it was impossible for Liu Zhongzhou to hope that the Southern Group would fall out of control. But what Kim Chang-heung did made him secretly swear in his heart that he must wait to see Kim Chang-heung's jokes.

Later, the development process of things was really as he and Li Xin estimated, copper prices did not continue to hit new highs, but gradually fell from historical highs, and went lower and lower. The cost of the copper ore produced by the new mine that Kim Chang-heung bought at a time when the price of copper was at an all-time high remained high, and this big failure not only failed to add to the icing on the cake for the Southern Group, but instead continued to squeeze the profits of the Southern Group like a bloodthirsty demon parasitic on the Southern Group. The serious imbalance between output and consumption finally caused the former giant of the Southern Group to collapse due to the loss of qi and blood.

After Jin Changxing's personal accident, only Liu Zhongzhou did not visit all the executives. At this time, Jin Changxing was worthless in Liu Zhongzhou's eyes, and Liu Zhongzhou once secretly scolded in his heart: I said that after laughing at people, I didn't expect you, a turtle grandson, to have today!

And unwillingly, Liu Zhongzhou watched this wave of copper prices fall from more than 80,000 yuan to about 30,000 yuan in front of him, and he once thought more than once: God is really unfair, he is really a little out of time!
