Li Xin said: "Oh, the cost of shipping here is really high." ”

Long Yunkai said: "Yes, this is the reason why we dare not use a large number of imported mines, and the geographical location is not advantageous." The steel mills in the southeast coastal area are different, and the iron ore imported from abroad arrives at the port, which is basically counted as their factory, unlike us, which has to be transported by rail for more than 1,000 kilometers. They use a much larger proportion of imported ore, which is cost-effective. ”

Li Xin nodded and said, "That's the truth!"

Li Xin rolled his eyes, changed the topic and asked: "Mr. Long, in your opinion, which is more difficult to do, steel mill or copper mill?"

Long Yunkai asked: "What, do you want to build a copper factory?"

Li Xin waved his hand and said, "No, how can I have that ability." Just ask by the way. Isn't this question the owner of a steel mill? ”

Long Yunkai said: "Eh, aren't you in the non-ferrous metal industry? Just now I heard you analyze the reasons for the rise in copper prices, and you should be very clear about this." ”

Li Xin said: "I didn't learn this, I just did chores in the company, and I didn't understand the mystery." ”

Long Yunkai said: "I have really compared this, it is much more difficult to build a copper mill than to build a steel mill. First, for technical reasons, the technical threshold for copper smelting is much higher than that for steelmaking. The second is the problem of raw materials, although the domestic iron ore reserves are not rich, but compared with the copper ore is still much better, these two reasons determine that it is relatively easy to build a steel plant. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are more than a dozen large and small steel mills in the province, but there are only two or three copper mills. The profit of a ton of copper is more than ten or twenty times that of a ton of steel, and why is the copper factory so profitable and so little, is it not because of the high threshold, right? Of course, the total demand for steel is larger than the total amount of copper. ”

Li Xin nodded, and Long Yunkai's answer made him feel a little in the right place.

When Li Xin drove out of the company compound just now, Jiang Hua happened to come back from running errands outside, and the car of the two passed by at the door.

After Jiang Hua parked the car in the yard, he glanced at the car that was abandoned by Li Xin, and suddenly had a plan.

After he went upstairs, he went directly to Liu Zhongzhou's office. As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Hua said to Liu Zhongzhou: "Chairman, if he doesn't use Li Xin's car, he can simply take it back, it is a waste to be idle like this." ”

Liu Zhongzhou asked strangely, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Hua said: "I see that he has been driving his own BMW car for the past few days, and the car allocated to him by the company has been parked in the yard. ”

Liu Zhongzhou said, "Really?"

Jiang Hua saw that Liu Zhongzhou had a reaction, and immediately continued: "Yes, after the meeting that morning, he parked the car in the yard at noon. For so many days after that, he didn't use that car anymore, just drove his own BMW. Who is he doing this? It's not that he is dissatisfied with the criticism of the chairman at the meeting that day, this is obviously a call against you. ”

When Liu Zhongzhou heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable: It seems that Li Xin still doesn't bow his head, his temper is really stubborn, who in the whole company dares to fight with him like this? It's really against him!

Jiang Hua, who had been carefully observing Liu Zhongzhou's facial expression, saw that Liu Zhongzhou's face was a little discolored, and felt that the opportunity had come, so he continued to slander: "Since he showed you his face like this, it is better to take the car back and let him know that he knows how powerful." ”

Liu Zhongzhou was indeed very dissatisfied with Li Xin at the meeting that day, and he also had the idea of removing him, but after the meeting, after his anger dissipated, he seemed to feel that there was no need to do it immediately, so he was still hesitant about how to deal with Li Xin.

But now hearing Jiang Hua say this, the anger in Liu Zhongzhou's heart came out again, and he wanted to immediately punish this unruly young man.

Liu Zhongzhou's words had already reached his lips, and he was about to blurt out when he ordered Jiang Hua to issue a document announcing the revocation of Li Xin's position and treatment, but he unexpectedly found Jiang Hua's eyes secretly observing him from the corner of his eye.

Jiang Hua's gaze was both cold and full of expectation, and there was a feeling that made Liu Zhongzhou very uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Liu Zhongzhou suddenly remembered that Jiang Hua's gaze was like that of a hunter when he watched his prey fall into a trap.

Liu Zhongzhou was full of excitement, and secretly thought: Jiang Hua is not borrowing his own hand to get rid of Li Xin, right?

This made Liu Zhongzhou suddenly have a feeling that he was being used as a gun by Jiang Hua.

Li Xin's unruliness certainly made Liu Zhongzhou unhappy, but it was all open guns, and in Liu Zhongzhou's opinion, it was above board. But if Jiang Hua really had the intention of using himself as a gunman, it would make Liu Zhongzhou feel even more uncomfortable.

Jiang Hua is playing a conspiracy, which makes the arrogant Liu Zhongzhou feel like he is being teased by a slave.

Liu Zhongzhou's heart immediately had a feeling of disgust for Jiang Hua, and he thought: Let's not talk about whether it is necessary to deal with Li Xin now, as long as he does it, he will definitely fall into the trap carefully designed by Jiang Hua first.

Liu Zhongzhou decided to stop, he wanted to think about whether it was worth it for him to do this.

Jiang Hua and Li Xin have always been at odds, and it is not difficult to see from Jiang Hua's words just now that Li Xin's whereabouts in the past few days are all in Jiang Hua's sight, why is he so deliberate?

Jiang Hua's mind seemed to be obvious, he had already said just now that he would order him to take back the car allocated to Li Xin. But is this all he wants? No, this is just a cover, and his subtext is to remove Li Xin from his position.

If Li Xin is not removed from his post, what reason is there to cancel his treatment? Just because Li Xin drove his own BMW to work? This reason is too ridiculous, and he can't get it on the table. He drives his own car to and from work, doesn't he also save the wear and tear of the bus!

But just now, after listening to Jiang Hua's words, what he thought in his heart was that he wanted to remove Li Xin from his position and take back the corresponding treatment? This almost fell into Jiang Hua's trap!

After Liu Zhongzhou, who is good at scheming power, saw through Jiang Hua's thoughts, he now began to think about how to deal with Li Xin without Jiang Hua's favor.

In Liu Zhongzhou's view, personnel power and financial power are the two magic weapons he uses to control the Southern Group. Over the years, these two magic weapons have made him tried and tested repeatedly within the group, and they have been used perfectly.

Anyone who dares to challenge him and disobey his will, Liu Zhongzhou will either let him move his position, or let him not get the corresponding financial support in his work.

As long as Liu Zhongzhou uses either of these two magic weapons, it won't be long before the person who dares to disobey and challenge Liu Zhongzhou will either bow his head and surrender, or he will have to leave.

But for Li Xin, the more Liu Zhongzhou thought about it, the more difficult he felt that it was to do, and the two magic weapons that he tried and tested repeatedly were probably not easy to use on Li Xin!

From the first contact with Li Xin, Liu Zhongzhou saw that Li Xin had an unbending arrogance in Li Xin, which could not be seen in those who only surrounded him up and down the company.

This certainly made Liu Zhongzhou, who was accustomed to his subordinates low-eyed and pleasing to the eyes, uncomfortable, but it also made his eyes shine.

What impressed Liu Zhongzhou the most was Li Xinyi's words from other executives: "Your ten-year salary income is not as much as the money I make in a quarter." ”

Now Li Xin has left the car allocated to him by the company and is driving his own limousine to and from work, which is obviously a concrete manifestation of that arrogance.

At this point, Jiang Hua is right, Li Xin is for himself, the chairman.

If this were someone else, Liu Zhongzhou would move his fingers, and he would be able to regret his actions.

But for Li Xin, Liu Zhongzhou was a little hesitant.

At the meeting that day, his move of putting Li Xin aside was almost equivalent to removing Li Xin, but in the end he still did not officially announce the matter, and the matter was still in a very delicate situation, which was only known to the group executives who attended the meeting that day.

Now, if you order Li Xin to be dismissed from his post and take back the car that was given to him, what can he do? It is just something that he abandoned long ago before you took it back.

When you do that, you will make this contradiction public, and when the time comes, everyone up and down the company will see that you have taken back the car you gave him, but he, Li Xin, drove a car that is more luxurious than your Liu Zhongzhou's car to work.

You remove him from his position, and he loses a few hundred dollars a month, but as a small office clerk, he can earn ten years of salary a quarter.

From this point of view, there is no point in removing Li Xin from his post.

There is a more important reason that what Li Xin said at the meeting, whether Liu Zhongzhou is willing to listen to it or not, at least Li Xin was right in the past few days after the meeting, and the trend of futures prices is not favorable to Liu Zhongzhou.

At present, the floating loss of 12 million on the books made Liu Zhongzhou a little worried. It doesn't seem to be the best time to deal with Li Xin at this time, and it is completely too late to wait until there is a floating profit of 12 million in the future.

Liu Zhongzhou thought about it, and he couldn't do it now to remove Li Xin!

It's like if you're going to disgust someone with something that they don't take seriously, not only will you end up disgusting with them, but you'll also make onlookers think you're doing something out of your power.

Liu Zhongzhou is not willing to do such a thing that outweighs the losses.

What's more, from the bottom of his heart, Liu Zhongzhou didn't mean to disgust Li Xin, he just saw that Li Xin, as a cronie he had picked up with his own hands, actually opposed him in front of the public and wanted to beat him.

The one who really wants to disgust Li Xin should be Jiang Hua. Liu Zhongzhou had already seen this from Jiang Hua's eyes just now.
