Chapter 259: Late Talk
Li Xin's right hand was a little sore, so he changed the phone to his left hand and continued: "What I feel in the Southern Group now is that I am tired, and I have worked hard to help them do things and help them come up with ideas, but in the end the gains outweigh the losses." Do you think that Hou Gui's 4,000 yuan is so easy to take? What follows is endless trouble! I would rather be quiet than go on that trip to troubled waters. ”
Yuan Jie said: "You are blind and high!"
Li Xin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Yuan Jie said: "You have a lot of money yourself, of course you can ignore the feelings of others!"
Li Xin said: "You still said that you are not speaking for Hou Gui, is it so important whether I go to their factory to be a consultant?"
Yuan Jie said: "Who has the leisure time to care about your affairs, do you like to go or not!"
Li Xin became more and more confused, and asked: "Then I don't understand what you mean, you said that I am rich and don't consider the feelings of others, does the other person here refer to Hou Gui, or is there someone else? This matter has nothing to do with others." ”
Yuan Jie said, "I'm too lazy to talk to you!" and hung up the phone.
Li Xin on the other end of the phone was confused, he couldn't figure it out, how could Yuan Jie, who has always been empathetic, be like this today, in more than half an hour, this attitude changed too inexplicably.
Yuan Jie watched Li Xin close 2,000 tons of copper futures in just over ten minutes today, earning more than 35 million yuan, which brought a huge impact in her heart.
While being happy for Li Xin, she also had an inexplicable expectation in her heart, and even she didn't realize that she had been sitting next to Li Xin, watching him complete the closing operation, just to talk to him more after all this was over.
But all this disrupted Hou Gui, who appeared unexpectedly, but fortunately, Hou Gui's open-mouthed words gave Yuan Jie the opportunity to leave Li Xin, who was about to leave after closing the position, in his office.
But not long after sitting down, in the face of Hou Gui's invitation to dinner and the invitation to be a consultant, Li Xin all refused, and left after a few words.
This made Yuan Jie, who was looking forward to it very disappointed, she actually hoped that Li Xin would agree to Hou Gui's invitation, and Hou Gui would definitely not leave her behind, so that she would have the opportunity to be alone with Li Xin after dinner.
However, Li Xin's quick departure disappointed Yuan Jie, and she began to feel that she was being neglected. In her opinion, she paid so much, but Li Xin turned a blind eye, and after making so much money, he turned around and left without saying anything!
After Hou Gui left, Yuan Jie was depressed in the office for a long time, and she still felt aggrieved, so she couldn't help but call Li Xin.
On the phone, Yuan Jie, who originally wanted to vent her grievances, made Li Xin mistakenly think that it was someone else who was neglected, and she hung up the phone angrily, thinking hatefully: He has always been very smart, why is he as stupid as a piece of wood today?
After closing the position, Li Xin only felt relieved in his heart, and the profit brought by this transaction far exceeded his expectations. Although the price of copper rose rapidly in the next half a month, approaching 57,000 yuan, Li Xin did not feel a pity, and took advantage of the 11th holiday to take Jiang Xiaolan to the beach for a vacation.
The nerves that had been tense suddenly relaxed, giving Li Xin a feeling of losing his goal, and he needed to think about where the funds in his hand would go next.
On this day, Hou Gui came to the Southern Group to buy goods, and after completing the formalities, he asked his subordinates to go to the warehouse to pick up the goods, and he turned around and walked into Huang Hongliang's office to chat with him.
Seeing that Huang Hongliang and Jiang Hua were sitting in front of the coffee table and drinking tea, Hou Gui said, "Mr. Huang, Director Jiang, you are so interested." ”
Huang Hongliang greeted him and said, "Director Hou, come and drink some together, the tea I just bought, and see how it tastes." ”
Hou Gui looked at the exquisite tea set in front of him and said, "Mr. Huang likes to taste tea?"
Huang Hongliang took out a cup, scalded it with the water in the pot, then poured a cup of tea and handed it to Hou Gui: "I don't like it, I just started to learn to drink, and I am just elegant." ”
Hou Gui said: "This is the enjoyment of the local tyrants, Mr. Huang, you have made a lot of money this year, and you have the time and mood to enjoy life, unlike us, who are restless by the rising copper prices every day, how can you be in the mood to sit down and taste tea!"
When Huang Hongliang and Jiang Hua heard this, they felt very uncomfortable, people outside thought that the performance of the Southern Group would be very good this year, but those who knew the inside story had nowhere to say it and couldn't say it.
Huang Hongliang was afraid that Hou Gui, who had a very broken mouth, chattered about these things, and hurriedly introduced the topic to Hou Gui: "Director Hou, I heard that the price of cables has risen well, and your factory is not as bad as you said this year, right?"
Hou Gui said: "Alas, don't mention it, where can the increase in cable prices catch up with the increase in copper prices, after deducting production costs, I estimate that this year's profits are not as good as last year." ”
Huang Hongliang said with feeling: "This year, the copper price has risen a little too sharply!"
Hou Gui said: "This year's situation is not good for downstream copper companies like us, but it is a rare opportunity for upstream enterprises like you, you can make money in the sales market and futures market, a godsend!"
Huang Hongliang said: "How can you be as good as you think, and you are not an immortal." ”
Hou Gui said: "Mr. Huang, don't fool me, don't you make money in the futures market?"
Huang Hongliang replied to the question: "Who are you listening to?"
Hou Gui said: "In the middle of last month, Li Xin, assistant to the chairman of your group, closed more than 2,000 tons of orders in the futures market, and made more than 30 million yuan at one time. At first I thought it was your group's order, but later I found out that he bought it himself. He personally bought 2,000 tons of long, can't your group buy more? In such a market, if you buy more than 10,000 tons or 20,000 tons, you can make 100 million or 200 million yuan in futures alone, right?"
Jiang Hua said in surprise: "He only closed the position in mid-September? I thought he would close the position when the price was around 45,000! How did you know about this?"
Hou Gui said: "I was next to him when he went to the futures company to close the position that day. Why, you don't know about this?"
Huang Hongliang said: "This is his personal matter, and if he doesn't say it, it's not good for us to inquire casually." ”
Hou Gui looked at Huang Hongliang and Jiang Hua's dodgy eyes, and didn't ask again after saying "oh". He also seemed to hear something else from Huang Hongliang's words, and realized that he didn't seem to be supposed to inquire about the futures of the Southern Group.
After Jiang Hua listened to what Hou Gui said, his heart was even more uncomfortable, at the last meeting, he learned that Li Xin earned more than 12 million yuan, which was enough to make his heart clogged, but he didn't expect that in the end, Li Xin's profit nearly tripled!
After coming out of Huang Hongliang's office, Jiang Hua immediately went to report to Liu Zhongzhou, he still remembered that last time Liu Zhongzhou blamed him for not reflecting Li Xin's actions in the futures market in time, so after getting the news this time, he went to Liu Zhongzhou as soon as possible.
After listening to Jiang Hua's report, Liu Zhongzhou pondered for a long time, and then asked slowly: "Is your news really true?"
Jiang Hua said: "Hou Gui of the cable factory said that he was next to Li Xin when Li Xin closed the position, which should be correct. ”
Liu Zhongzhou said: "Okay, I know. ”
After Liu Zhongzhou heard the news, he wanted to ask Jiang Hua what he thought about this matter, but considering Jiang Hua's consistent attitude towards Li Xin, coupled with Jiang Hua's ignorance of the copper price trend, it was in vain to ask, and maybe he would attract a lot of complaints from him about Li Xin, which disturbed his mood, not to mention, the key is to affect his judgment of the price situation.
So he didn't say anything more and turned to look at the computer screen.
Although Jiang Hua didn't know much about the price, his ability to observe words and emotions was beyond the reach of others, and when he saw that Liu Zhongzhou didn't ask anything anymore, he said goodbye with interest.
The news brought by Jiang Hua made Liu Zhongzhou, who was anxious, seem to see a glimmer of hope.
At the beginning of October, copper prices continued to rise at the end of September, reaching a high of 60,000 yuan per tonne, but then, in the following two weeks, copper prices fell rapidly from a high of 60,000 yuan to about 55,000 yuan.
This kind of decline of about 5,000 yuan is rare in the past two years, which makes Liu Zhongzhou, who is almost desperate, see the hope of turning defeat into victory.
However, at this time, he has been tortured by constant blows and has no confidence at all. Seeing that the long-lost decline had come, in the face of the desire to continue to short, which had been pressed in his heart, Liu Zhongzhou hesitated again.
After all, this decision to sell short again is different from the first hedging situation, the first time I made the decision to sell, there was no such a huge loss, and if you want to continue to sell short on next year's contract, this decision is even more difficult to make, because now the loss on the futures account has reached 330 million.
If you can make money by selling short this time, you can reduce your previous losses, and even have a chance to turn defeat into victory. But if you fail again, you will never recover.
Therefore, Liu Zhongzhou at this time is more contradictory and entangled than before the copper price pullback.
It was at this time that Jiang Hua sent him the news that Li Xin had closed his long position. This made him happy, and he thought to himself: Hasn't Li Xin always been bullish on the price of copper? Now that he has closed his long position, what does this mean? This shows that he also feels that this price is too high.
Not to mention whether Li Xin is backhanded short, it is very meaningful to say that he does not dare to continue to go long now. Coupled with the fact that the copper price just turned around and went down at this time, could it be that this is a good opportunity to short the company that I have been waiting for for so long?
Liu Zhongzhou didn't have time to think about it, he grabbed the phone on the table and called Li Xin: "You come to my office." ”
