Chapter 287: A Business That Doesn't Make Money

Li Xin said: "Let me think about it. ”

Jiang Xiaolan said: "Then you hurry up and decide, I'm still waiting to spend the moon with you on campus." ”

Li Xin said: "Isn't it just the moon before the flowers?"

Jiang Xiaolan said: "This doesn't count, I'm talking about let's spend the moon together on campus." ”

Li Xin said: "That's so simple, when I go back, I will take you to the campus every night for a week, and take you to the grove on campus." ”

Jiang Xiaolan said: "You don't want good things, I don't mean that when I say flowers, I don't mean that." ”

Li Xin said: "Okay, okay, you have the final say on what to do, okay?"

Jiang Xiaolan stood up with a smile and said, "It's about the same, now I want to go back, you can take me back." ”

Li Xin looked at his watch and said, "It's just past 12 o'clock, why are you going back?" Didn't you say you were going to play all night on the beach?"

Jiang Xiaolan said: "I've changed my mind now, I want you to go back and continue to tell me stories!"

Li Xin said: "When I go back and go to bed, whether I tell a story or do something else, I can't help you." ”

Jiang Xiaolan stood in front of Li Xin, put her arms around Li Xin's neck, looked at Li Xin with blazing eyes and said, "You can do whatever you want!"

Li Xin's heart fluttered when he heard this: "Then what are you waiting for, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, go back quickly!" After speaking, he pulled Jiang Xiaolan to jump off the reef and ran along the beach towards the hotel.

On May 3rd, it was Jin Changxing's turn to be on duty during the holiday, he ran to the company early in the morning, upstairs and downstairs, except for Huang Hongliang's sales company at work, the other departments of the head office were all empty, deserted.

Jin Changxing sat alone in the chairman's office for a while, feeling very bored, he turned on the computer and looked at the futures price of the external market for a while, and then went downstairs to chat with Huang Hongliang.

As soon as he entered Huang Hongliang's office, he asked, "How are the sales going these days?"

When Huang Hongliang saw him coming in, he quickly got up and gave up his seat and said, "The sales situation is okay, but it's a holiday after all, and the sales volume is not as good as usual." ”

Jin Changxing said: "Have you paid attention to the futures price?"

Huang Hongliang said: "No, isn't the market closed these two days?"

Jin Changxing said: "I'm talking about the outer disk. ”

Huang Hongliang said: "I didn't pay attention to this. ”

Jin Changxing said with some dissatisfaction: "If you are free, you still have to pay attention to it, the external disk has a great impact on the domestic copper price, and the copper price of the external disk has been rising in the past few days during the holiday." Your sales company doesn't have first-hand price information, how can this business be done?"

Huang Hongliang hurriedly said: "What the chairman said is that I will pay attention to this problem in the future." You said that the price of the external market is still rising, and the domestic price is estimated to have to rise after the holiday, which is good news. ”

Kim Chang-heung said, "Yes, I see it that way too. ”

Before the May Day holiday, Jin Changxing watched the copper price fall as soon as it reached 70,000 yuan, and returned to the price of 68,000 yuan to stagnate. But just now in the office, he saw from the computer that the price of copper in the external futures has risen very well in the past few days of the holiday, and this news has regained his confidence, and now he is bullish on copper prices again.

He said to Huang Hongliang: "The sales company should take advantage of the good price to step up shipments, return funds as soon as possible, and prepare for the next development of the group." ”

Of course, Huang Hongliang knew that the next development of the group that Jin Changxing said was to buy new mines, and he also knew that Jin Changxing asked himself to step up shipments and return funds as soon as possible, in order to make his own funds when buying new mines in the future.

He promised Jin Changxing and said, "Okay, chairman." "But I was thinking in my heart, where can I buy a new mine overnight? Now that the price of copper has risen so well, who will take out the mine and sell it?" I don't even have the goal of buying it yet, and who knows when I will be able to buy it.

The little thing that Huang Hongliang muttered in his heart happened to be Jin Changxing's biggest headache. As long as copper prices are expected to continue to rise in the future, then buying a mine is a lucrative business, and the key problem now is that it is too difficult to find a good target.

In recent years, the price of copper has skyrocketed, and good mines are all baby bumps, and everyone will hold it tightly in their hands and will not let go easily. Jin Changxing had already scanned all the mines in his sight like a falcon searching for prey, but none of them had the intention of selling them now.

It made him fall into the mire like a buffalo, but he couldn't use his strength. As the saying goes, only when there is a goal can there be a head, and without a goal, everything has no reason.

The top priority now is to find a good goal as soon as possible, so that the funding, the plan, everything can be carried out. Otherwise, the grand goal in your heart will be like the moon in the water, you can see it, but you can't implement it.

Thinking of this, Jin Changxing said to Huang Hongliang: "You should also pay more attention to see which mine in the industry wants to sell, and if it is appropriate, we will follow." This is also a matter of urgency, the importance of which I stressed last time. ”

Huang Hong nodded and said, "I know, I'll pay attention to this." ”

After a while, Jin Changxing asked again: "What do you think of the cane sugar sales business in Ma Tianming's hand?"

Huang Hongliang didn't understand what Jin Changxing meant, and didn't know how to answer him, so he asked rhetorically: "Chairman, what do you mean?"

Jin Changxing said: "I have taken a look at the financial statements of the past two years, and I can see that the sugar sales business has occupied a lot of funds and personnel, but it does not make a few dollars every year. ”

As soon as Huang Hongliang heard Jin Changxing's words, he knew that he didn't know much about the details here, so he explained: "This should be regarded as a problem left over from history, and almost all the personnel in the sugar sales business are employees of the Provincial Sugar Industry Corporation. After the Southern Group merged with the Provincial Sugar Corporation, its main business was still the smelting and sales of our metal copper, and their original sugar sales and alcohol sales business were retained, just to solve the employment problem of this part of the people, and they could support themselves by relying on these two businesses, and the group did not expect them to make much money. However, if these businesses are abolished, they are not familiar with the non-ferrous metal industry, and they will be dispersed to other companies, and the personnel will be redundant. ”

Kim Chang-heung said: "Despite these realities, this trend cannot be sustained for a long time, and if the group wants to develop, it must look forward, and industries like this that are not profitable should be divested as soon as possible." In the future, new mines will be acquired, and there will be more copper resources, and the scale of the smelter will definitely be expanded. As the production of copper increases, the scale of the sales company will also expand. These are all places where people need to be employed, and these businesses are very profitable, which is not comparable to the sales of cane sugar. It is necessary to consider as soon as possible when and how this business will be gradually divested, and enrich these personnel into the smelter and the sales of copper metal. Moreover, this kind of thing should be prepared in advance, these personnel are familiar with the new business has a process, and they cannot wait until the smelter and sales company urgently need people in the future, so these people will not be able to enter the situation at once, and the development of the group will be delayed. You are the general manager of the sales company, in fact, this business is also under your control, you have to think of a way to come out as soon as possible in this matter, okay?"

Huang Hongliang listened to Jin Changxing's words, nodded and dealt with Jin Changxing, and secretly sighed in his heart: It is said that the butt determines the head, which is really not false at all. He is still struggling with how much money Jin Changxing will buy a new mine in the year of the monkey and how much money will be taken up by him, but Jin Changxing has already determined that this mine will definitely be able to buy, and he has already started to plan the next step of the group's internal optimization and adjustment, and he wants to enrich the dismissed personnel to the smelter and his own metal copper sales business.

This topic has never been mentioned by Jin Changxing at the meeting before, and listening to the tone of Jin Changxing's speech, Huang Hongliang vaguely feels that he should be the first time to mention this issue to outsiders.

The question is irrelevant to Mr. Huang, but he knows that it is not of the same importance to different people.

For example, for Ma Tianming, this is a big matter of life and death. After this business is abolished, Ma Tianming, the nominal deputy general manager, is estimated to be unable to be the first to be a department manager when he comes to the metal copper sales business, and he must be familiar with the non-ferrous metal business as soon as possible.

There are also dozens of people under Ma Tianming, once they hear the news that this business is going to be abolished, it is estimated that it will cause a lot of commotion. After all, this business is very familiar to them, it is a job to live in, once this business is eliminated, their future ownership will face a new uncertainty.

Huang Hongliang still remembers that when the two companies had just merged, the group of people under Ma Tianming was the most restless, with the most opinions and the most strange words.

But then he gradually understood them, because their original company went bankrupt and was merged, and he was forced to be in a relatively disadvantaged position, and it was normal for them to have some emotional fluctuations.

Now this situation may happen again, although these personnel are usually under the management of Ma Tianming, but in the final analysis, they still belong to their own sales company, and their general manager is their top boss.

You have to do a good job of appeasing yourself in this matter, otherwise if something goes wrong, Jin Changxing will definitely only find trouble for yourself. He just said that he had never publicly said to himself at the meeting about such an important news about the abolition of the department, presumably to give himself a preventive vaccination.
