Zheng Guorui really can't understand why Liu Zhongzhou and Jin Changxing, the two chairmen of the former and the latter, have made decisions that are completely opposite to the direction of the market on such a major issue?

It would be nice if no one reminded them before they made a decision, but every time before they made a decision, Li Xin raised objections, and they both

didn't listen, and also sent Li Xin, who raised objections, into the cold palace.

That's not all, the next ending proves that Li Xin is right every time, the two chairmen were mercilessly slapped in the face by the market trend, just like they ruthlessly suppressed Li Xin at the beginning, which made Zheng Guorui sigh when he thought about it.

Zheng Guorui, as the Minister of Finance, from the perspective of financial data alone, thinks that if the two chairmen can use Li Xin correctly, how much expenditure can be saved for the group in recent years?

Jin Changxing and Huang Hongliang believe that copper prices will return to around 80,000 yuan in a month or two, but Xue Chenzhi believes the opposite, saying that it will be difficult for copper prices to return to above 75,000 yuan.

Zheng Guorui can't judge who is right and who is wrong in their opinions, but he knows that Jin Changxing is annoying again this time. In the end, will Jin Changxing be able to retreat with his whole body, or will he be defeated like Liu Zhongzhou?

If these two chairmen were wiser, he, the finance minister, would not be worried all day long.

After the meeting ended, Huang Hongliang went into his office to think about countermeasures.

He doesn't have to worry about the difference between purchase and sale now, as long as he sells it according to the sales price set by Xue Chenzhi for him, he can earn a certain amount of sales expenses for selling a ton.

But another problem he faces now is whether the market is buying up or down. The price of copper is now down a full 20,000 yuan per ton compared with a few months ago. After seeing this situation, downstream copper-using enterprises have also slowed down the pace of purchases. This has caused Huang Hongliang's sales to shrink sharply, and his profits have also dropped significantly.

Thinking about the lively scene of downstream users crowded into their offices when the copper price rose a few months ago, and then looked at the cold appearance of the courtyard now, Huang Hongliang felt very uncomfortable.

Now even relatively large users such as cable factories have slowed down the pace of procurement, and purchase raw materials three times a month. This is a world away from the previous situation when they came in a month early and waited to pick up the goods.

Huang Hongliang was actually muttering in his heart, he secretly thought: Could it be that metallic copper has become surplus overnight? No, I haven't heard of such news that the import volume of metallic copper has increased significantly in recent months?

He now has no choice but to send all his business managers out to expand sales channels. Seeing that the copper mine sales business was soon hopeless, and the sales of copper metal were also declining, Huang Hongliang was anxious.

After thinking about it, he picked up the phone and called Hou Gui of the cable factory: "Director Hou, it's rare recently, what are you busy with?"

Today, he took the initiative to call Hou Gui, firstly, he wanted to get close to Hou Gui and increase sales, and secondly, he wanted to get some news from his mouth and ask him if he had other purchase channels.

Hou Gui was also very surprised to receive Huang Hongliang's call, Hou Gui used to go to Huang Hongliang's office to find him when he went to the Southern Group to buy raw materials, and he ignored it.

Hou Gui asked suspiciously, "Is it Mr. Huang?"

Huang Hongliang said: "Why, you can't even hear my voice? ”

Hou Gui said: "Look at what you said, what kind of noble person am I?"

Huang Hongliang said: "What are you busy with? Why is it that when you buy goods recently, your subordinate Manager Zhu came to do it, and I don't see you coming?"

Hou Gui said: "It's not just this little thing in the factory, you can't leave." ”

Huang Hongliang asked: "Do you want to come here to buy goods in the past two days? The price has been lowered a lot compared with the last time, which is very cost-effective." ”

Hearing Huang Hongliang's words, Hou Gui immediately understood in his heart, no wonder he was so active today, it turned out that he called to sell goods. It's really this time and that time, I think when the price of copper skyrocketed, he didn't have this attitude.

Hou Gui smiled: "There are still some in the raw material warehouse, let's talk about it in another week." Also, now that the price of copper is falling so fast, maybe the price will be better if you buy it again next week. ”

Huang Hongliang said: "This is not necessarily, the price of copper has jumped up and down recently, and the price in a week may not be more favorable than now." Director Hou, do you have any other partners?"

Huang Hongliang knows very well in his heart that it is difficult for copper prices to rise in the near future, but in the face of Hou Gui, he still has to say as he did just now, otherwise, how could Hou Gui come to buy goods?

Hou Gui said: "That's not true. ”

Huang Hongliang said: "Then why do I see that your recent purchase volume has decreased?"

Hou Gui said: "The purchase volume is generally similar to the original, but due to the unpredictable price of copper, I have to take a stupid way to purchase raw materials in phases and batches, so that the cost can be lowered, and it will not be expensive." ”

Huang Hongliang said: "That's it. You can rest assured, compared with the industry in the same industry, the price of our products is still the most competitive, when you squeak when you want the goods, I will let them do it for you first. ”

Hou Gui said: "Okay, okay, I'll call you then." ”

Hou Gui knows that Huang Hongliang is also telling the truth, nationwide comparison, the southern group's copper may not be the most preferential price, but the product price is lower than the southern group of the few enterprises are outside the province, away from their own cable factory far away, plus long-distance transportation costs, the price is not as advantageous as the price of the southern group.

Therefore, in the foreseeable future, the metal copper raw materials of our cable factory can only be purchased from the Southern Group.

In addition, as a large user of copper metal, Hou Gui knows even better than Huang Hongliang that the current copper sales of the Southern Group are not satisfactory, only because the price has fallen too fast, not because of the surplus of copper metal in the market.

So now, even if Huang Hongliang, who didn't want to see him before, had to put down his shelf and come to him to pull the sales task in front of him, Hou Gui didn't dare to offend him verbally. Because he knows that he will have to deal with Huang Hongliang for a long time in the future, stay a line at this time, and see each other in the future.

The market doesn't give Jin Changxing face at all, what he is afraid of, what comes from the market.

Just when he made the decision to limit production and stop sales, and swore that as long as he gritted his teeth and persisted for a month or two, the copper price would return to about 80,000 yuan, but the copper price did not stop falling.

More than 10 days later, the price of copper fell below the integer mark of 60,000 yuan to 59,700 yuan.

Such a trend in copper prices not only surprised Jin Changxing, but even Li Xin did not expect it.

However, because Jin Changxing strictly sealed off the actual operation of the new mine, the actual production data of the new mine was no longer sent to Li Xin, so Li Xin knew very little about the current loss of the new mine.

Although Li Xin felt that this situation was a little abnormal, because of Jin Changxing's previous attitude towards him, he didn't bother to ask about these things, he thought to himself: More things are better than less things, if you don't let me know, then I won't ask.

On this day, Li Xin sat in the office, he looked at the trend chart of futures copper prices, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: the trend of copper prices in more than a year can be described as thrilling.

I was bold enough to go long on futures copper before, but when the price of those positions was not 60,000 yuan, I closed all of them. Although he also made a lot of profits, compared with the highest price of 84,000 yuan, he still missed an increase of nearly 26,000 yuan.

Looking back now, within a few months, the copper price has fallen from a high of more than 84,000 yuan to less than 60,000 yuan at present, and the 26,000 yuan increase that I originally missed has now almost all fallen back.

All this seems to be like a roller coaster, such a large skyrocketing and plummeting, if this is done in the opposite direction, wouldn't it be bankrupt in just a few months?

He is now secretly glad that he did not go long or short because he was not sure when the copper price exceeded 60,000 yuan, otherwise, it is very likely that he would go in the opposite direction and lead to a large loss.

Suddenly, he thought of a problem: although Jin Changxing did not go long on copper futures, when he spent nearly 2 billion yuan to buy a new mine, the copper price was more than 80,000 yuan.

This is also equivalent to going long on the price of copper!

It's just that the 200000000000000 funds are not full in futures copper, but all invested in raw materials. As for how much position this money is equivalent to holding in futures copper, this should be roughly calculated based on the production relationship between raw materials and products.

Feeling that there was a huge problem hidden here, and then remembering that the production data of the new mine had been kept secret from him recently, Li Xin suddenly had a strong curiosity, and he wanted to use the method he thought of to calculate how much Jin Changxing's investment had lost so far.

Thinking of this, he immediately set out to check the Internet to check how many tons of mainstream copper ore are needed to produce one ton of copper.

With this data, he immediately calculated that this amount of money was equivalent to how many tons of futures copper he held in the futures market, and then multiplied the number of positions by the price difference of 20,000 yuan, and came up with a surprising data.

Since this data is greater than the loss caused by Liu Zhongzhou's shorting of futures copper!

Li Xin looked at this number, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, he was not sure whether this number was real or not.
