Chapter 69: Fighting Wisdom
"So, about changing jobs, don't you wait a little longer and listen to the news of the housing reform?" his wife said in an inquiring tone.
In fact, she didn't want Gao Hui to earn 3,000 yuan a month back, so she wouldn't have to worry about her monthly expenses. It's just that she doesn't have a house, and she has to move to her mother-in-law's house to live, and the feeling of being under the fence really makes her unbearable.
Gao Hui said: "That's all, just wait and see." ”
The news that his wife said lifted his spirits, although he didn't know what this house reform would be like for a while, but if he really left the sugar company in the future and could continue to live here, then there would be more opportunities to move around at work.
The reason why I can't do anything now is because I am limited by housing.
The next day, as soon as he saw Lin Li, he asked: "There are rumors outside that there is going to be a housing reform, have you heard any news?"
Lin Li said confusedly: "What kind of housing reform?" ”
When Gao Hui saw him like this, he said, "I can't tell you clearly, I'll go to the office and ask." ”
Lin Li was also idle, and hearing Gao Hui mention such a new thing aroused his curiosity, and quickly grabbed him and asked, "Alas, why did you leave in the middle of your words?"
Gao Hui said as he walked: "I'm also trying to figure it out, let's go, let's go and ask together." ”
During this period of time, no one has arranged Li Xin's specific work, so he has been idle, and he has resumed his previous work rhythm in the office, commuting to and from work on time every day, and the only thing he cares about is the position in his hand.
More and more profits on the books make him like walking a tightrope with a fine porcelain, always worried about the chicken and egg if he is not careful.
Xia Xiaona's attitude towards Li Xin has also eased, and after thinking about it carefully, she herself feels that Li Xin is not to blame for this, and she is a little inexplicable for being sulky. After all, the two are just colleagues, and what Li Xin does is their own business.
Fortunately, Li Xin's mind was in the futures market, and he didn't know the reason for it, and after being snubbed in a daze, everything slowly returned to its original appearance.
When Gao Hui and Lin Li came in, Li Xin and Xia Xiaona were chatting about what they had seen in the office below.
Gao Hui came in and asked, "Xia Xiaona, I heard that there is going to be a housing reform, is there any news in the hall?"
Xia Xiaona said, "Why are you asking about this?"
Gao Hui said: "This is a big deal, don't you care? Tell me, what's going on?"
Xia Xiaona said: "I heard my dad say that there seems to be such a thing, but no one knows exactly what to do. ”
Lin Li asked anxiously: "What is housing reform? What kind of dumb riddle are you playing, let's make it clear." ”
Xia Xiaona said with a smile: "It is the reform of the housing system, which probably means that the housing of employees may be sold to individuals." ”
Gao Hui said: "Then why is there no news in the hall at all? ”
Xia Xiaona said: "This kind of thing is estimated not to be decided by the department, I am afraid that the province and the city can only determine the specific implementation measures." ”
Lin Li asked: "Can I buy the house I live in now?"
Xia Xiaona said: "Who knows, don't worry, wait for the above policy, before there is no explanation above, you are all worrying." ”
Although there was no specific information from Xia Xiaona's words, the stone in Gao Hui's heart still fell to the ground.
There is no wind and no waves, no one will make up such a big thing, it seems that this matter is true, and it involves a wide range, and it can never be just a matter of one or two units. Judging from his own experience, once there is a rumor of this kind of major event, it is not far from an official appearance.
As long as there is hope, he doesn't care about waiting a little longer.
After Ma Tianming, who had been running outside for more than half a month, returned to Jiangcheng in the dust, he did not return to the company, and immediately came to the futures exchange non-stop to understand the current market of cane sugar.
During this time, he ran around the sugar factory below like a wandering monk Huayuan, and got a total of more than 6,000 tons of sugar.
With the arrival of the sugars, he now faces another difficult problem.
These sugars, counting the freight and storage fees on the way, the current cost has been roughly 3800 yuan/ton, if it is shipped out of the province to sell, the best estimate, the time is less than a month is simply not able to be shipped out.
Even if it takes a month to transport all the sugar outside the province, it is impossible to sell it immediately, and you have to find a warehouse to store it. This comes and goes, and the cost of each ton of sugar is estimated to increase by dozens of yuan.
Since his company does not have a ready-made sales channel outside the province, he has no bottom in his heart about how long it will take for the sugar to be sold out after it is shipped outside the province.
And like this, it is impossible to find a merchant who is willing to buy sugar in cash, and if this payment delays you for a few more months, what should you do?
In case the price of sugar falls in the middle, you will lose it all!
These goods were all on credit, and most of them were originally negotiated to pay the sugar factory within a month or so.
In terms of time, it will be more than ten days before the sugar factories will reply one after another.
In fact, how to sell these sugars, this question has been tangled in his heart since he got the first batch of sugar in Wang Dong's factory. It's just that at the beginning, he didn't have time to worry about sales, so he could only think about how to get more sugar first.
As time went by, he got more and more sugar, and how to sell it began to become an urgent need for him to solve.
At this time, with so much sugar in his hand, he really felt an inexplicable panic.
This kind of uneasiness was completely unfelt before.
He suddenly realized that he was thinking about everything too simply.
In the dead of night, he even secretly guessed that when Wu Bin was in his position, the sugar in his hand was more than five times that of what he is now! What would Wu Bin's mood be at that time?
Now that he was there, he seemed to have some experience.
If he is not careful this time, he may follow Wu Bin's old path.
It was this kind of recollection that reminded him of what Li Xin said when he talked to Li Xin a few months ago.
At that time, he just regarded those words as Li Xin's defense, and didn't care about it at all.
But in his spare time, when he looked back and sorted out the process of the sugar company's huge losses, he found that the kind of thing Li Xin said might indeed exist.
If Wu Bin had taken measures in the futures market at that time, they would have been able to recover a lot of losses from the futures market.
He also couldn't understand that so much sugar at that time, in the process of falling sharply in price, was completely exposed to market risks, and no precautions were taken.
With such a large number of goods, it took several months to sell all of them when the price fell and the market was not good, and the price was getting lower and lower.
If you do short hedging in the futures market, you will lock in the risk, and you will feel much more at ease in the sales time in the following months, and you will not have to reluctantly go with the flow.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, he began to have a clear inclination to put the sale of this batch of sugar on the futures market to complete.
Because only in this way can he meet his requirements for making quick money.
So, when the business manager asked him several times where he was going to ship this batch of sugar, he always said, "Don't worry, wait and see." ”
In addition, he also has a trace of uneasiness that his futures knowledge is all in books, and he has no practical experience at all. Therefore, as soon as he returned to Jiangcheng, he immediately went to the futures market to learn about all the relevant processes.
After entering the exchange, among so many brokerage companies, he just walked into Zhang Jin's office.
I chatted with Zhang Jin and them in the office for a long time, asked a lot of questions, and still didn't understand a lot of things.
What makes him happiest is that the main contract for delivery in May has a large trading volume, and the current price is 3,860 yuan, which is slightly higher than his cost price.
He pointed to the computer screen and asked, "If I sell this contract, how long will it take to complete all the closing procedures and get paid?"
Zhang Jin said: "Sir, do you want to do physical delivery?"
Ma Tianming said: "Yes. ”
Zhang Jin said: "The last transaction date of this contract is May 15, and the physical delivery will be completed within a week after that, that is, the time for the seller to get the payment will be after May 15." ”
Ma Tianming asked, "So which contract is the closest delivery time?"
Zhang Jin pointed to the computer screen and said, "It's this contract in March, and the delivery time is within a week after the 15th of this month." ”
Zhang Jin saw that Ma Tianming approached the computer and looked carefully, and seemed to be particularly interested in this contract, so he reminded him: "But this contract is not the main contract, the trading volume is very small, and the price is also a little deviated from the main contract." You see, its price is almost 100 yuan lower than the May contract, and the trading volume is only a few dozen lots a day. If the amount of sales is relatively large and the number of buyers is small, the price will immediately be suppressed by tens of yuan or even more than 100 yuan. I do not recommend you to trade on this contract. ”
Ma Tianming asked, "What about the April contract?"
Zhang Jin explained: "This is almost the same as the March contract, the price and trading volume are not good, and the May contract is the nearest main contract." ”
When Ma Tianming heard this, his eyes couldn't help but dim a lot, and the hope he had full of along the way was extinguished by the ruthless reality.
It's not easy to make quick money, if you sell it in the futures market, it will take two and a half months to get the payment at the earliest, and it's too late in time!
Zhang Jin saw that Ma Tianming was pondering, and asked again: "Sir, do you sell a lot?"
Ma Tianming said in general terms: "It's not a few, about a few hundred hands." ”
When Zhang Jin heard this number, he thought: This is a big customer, much better than those retail investors who place a single hand or two hands at a time.
