Chapter 164: Blow
Li Xin, who had always thought that this meeting was to discuss the market trend, was also a little confused at this time: Could it be that this meeting had another theme? It seems that the materials and speeches he carefully prepared last night were useless.
After Liu Zhongzhou finished saying that opening sentence, he paused for a few seconds and glanced at the silent venue in front of him, he was very satisfied with the situation, which indicated that everything was under his control.
Subsequently, he met the eyes of everyone and said the theme of the meeting: "At the last meeting, the group made a decision to sell hedging the output in the second half of the year, and sold 10,000 tons of futures positions with 120 million yuan of funds, which is a long-term plan, in order to ensure that the products in the second half of the year have a good profit." Everyone knows this, and in order to realize this plan, everyone should have unified their thinking and worked together. But there are so few people who always look forward and backward, wander left and right, and listen to the wind and rain. His negative emotions greatly interfered with the determination of the leaders and was not conducive to the implementation of the overall plan of the group. The purpose of convening this meeting today is to make the importance of this issue clear and thorough, and to completely eliminate the noise, so as not to have such an unfirm thinking affecting the interests of the group!"
Hearing this, Li Xin was completely stunned!
Like everyone else in the venue, he was suspicious of the content of the meeting a few seconds ago, but now he knows that the target of Liu Zhongzhou's criticism at this meeting is himself!
The matter is obvious, it must be the text message he gave Liu Zhongzhou yesterday to cause the trouble.
If it weren't for yesterday's text message, Li Xin wouldn't be sure that Liu Zhongzhou was talking about himself, because he had told Zheng Guorui the same opinion, maybe Zheng Guorui also said this opinion to Liu Zhongzhou last night.
Li Xin thought to herself: No wonder Liu Zhongzhou didn't call back at all after sending the message yesterday. If he had called back yesterday, it would have meant that he thought the issue was still within the scope of discussion. But he chose to meet today to talk about this issue in public, and he mentioned the height of unity of thought, which shows that he thinks he is completely on the opposite side of him.
Li Xin was surprised, but couldn't help but feel a little chilled: the opinions he put forward after careful consideration were regarded as murmurs by the top leaders of the group and were listed in the sequence that should be eliminated.
At this time, other people at the venue also guessed who Liu Zhongzhou said about "very few people", and at the recent meeting on futures hedging, Li Xin questioned Liu Zhongzhou's suggestion in public at the meeting, and everyone still remembers it vividly. In their impression, only Li Xin would do this kind of thing.
Before Li Xin came back to his senses, Liu Zhongzhou's question came to his face: "Li Xin, what are you worried about swaying from side to side like this?"
With Liu Zhongzhou's question, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Li Xin's body, watching how he answered.
Wu Yunyu, who was taking minutes of the meeting on the side, although she also guessed that Liu Zhongzhou was referring to Li Xin, she still didn't want to believe this result. When Li Xin was notified to attend the meeting last night, Li Xin's reaction on the phone was very usual, and he even said that he wanted to prepare for the meeting, why did Li Xin become the target of criticism overnight?
At this moment, looking at Li Xin, who was obviously a little stunned, Wu Yunyu knew that he didn't expect today's meeting to be like this, and her heart couldn't help but raise her throat.
Li Xin, who was originally looking at the laptop with his head down, had to raise his head to deal with Liu Zhongzhou's question at this time.
He glanced at everyone's meaningful gaze, hesitated for a moment, and said to Liu Zhongzhou: "Chairman, in fact, I didn't sway from side to side, and I expressed my opinion at the first meeting to discuss hedging. ”
When Liu Zhongzhou heard this, he immediately reacted that there was something wrong with what he had just said, and let Li Xin grasp the handle.
As soon as he entered the conference room, his face was grim, and he didn't allow Li Xin to continue, so he immediately interrupted Li Xin's words, pulled down his face, and asked again: "I'll ask you, what are you worried about?"
Liu Zhongzhou's move made the sensitive Li Xin aware of his mentality of not hesitating to use strong words in order to suppress the other party, and Liu Zhongzhou's practice of not allowing himself to have any respite indicates that his situation today is very bad.
Li Xin is a very organized person, he doesn't actually want to entangle with Liu Zhongzhou on the question of whether he is swaying from side to side, but Liu Zhongzhou's question mentioned this, and he explained it in order in his answer. After saying this, even if Liu Zhongzhou didn't interrupt him, Li Xin would immediately answer the next part of Liu Zhongzhou's question.
But now, Liu Zhongzhou's step-by-step action of not wanting to lose the initiative at all made Li Xin feel that there seemed to be no atmosphere for discussion in this meeting. The corners of his mouth flashed a wry smile slightly, and he said helplessly: "Actually, the problem I am worried about is very simple, that is, I am afraid that the price of copper will not fall, in this case, the position we sell on futures will face a great risk." ”
Liu Zhongzhou did not evade the question, and said: "That's right, from the day before yesterday to yesterday, the futures price rose back to the level before the sale of copper reserves, but what does this mean? The futures price fluctuates back and forth like this." Our position was decided by everyone's discussion, and it was going to be put in the second half of the year, and it was only two days of work, so you are worried about this and that, what will you do in the future?"
Li Xin was a little speechless and didn't know how to answer him.
Liu Zhongzhou saw that Li Xin did not speak, and then said: "Do you think that the copper price will not fall in the future, this is just your opinion, do you know what others think? Not to mention that you are the only one who sees it this way at the group meeting, let's just say that almost all the experts and scholars in the non-ferrous metal industry present at the meeting I have attended in the past few days, and everyone is unanimously bearish at the meeting, doesn't this explain the problem?"
Speaking of this, Liu Zhongzhou turned his head and said to Xue Chenzhi and the others: "This morning is going to hold this meeting, I can't go to that meeting, there is still a half-day agenda in the afternoon, I am going to go, if you are free, I suggest that you all go and listen, you will benefit a lot!"
Xue Chenzhi asked, "Where is the meeting place?"
Liu Zhongzhou said: "The conference hall on the third floor of Jiangcheng Hotel. ”
Xue Chenzhi said, "Okay, I'll take a look in the afternoon." ”
At this time, Li Xin, looking at Liu Zhongzhou's indescribable momentum, thought that there was no need to explain anything, anyway, his opinion had been clearly told to him, how to think it was his own business.
What's more, listening to Liu Zhongzhou say that the experts and scholars at that meeting were unanimously bearish on the market outlook, Li Xin also had some drums in his heart, in case he was wrong in the future, wouldn't it bring huge losses to the group?
So he lowered his head and looked at the computer silently.
Zheng Guorui was secretly glad that he ignored Li Xin's suggestion yesterday, if he followed Li Xin's suggestion and mentioned to Liu Zhongzhou to pay attention to the risk issue, then he would accompany Li Xin to be criticized today.
At the same time, he was still complacent about his ability to observe and judge characters, and his judgment of Li Xin's way of doing things yesterday was completely confirmed today. This is a special skill of my own, which can ensure that I can pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages in the workplace, and I must continue to carry it forward in the future!
Liu Zhongzhou's words reassured Huang Hongliang's heart.
The question he is most concerned about at this time is what will happen to the futures price in the future, if it continues to rise, he will lose a lot. Now Liu Zhongzhou said that experts and scholars in the non-ferrous metal industry believe that copper prices will fall in the future, so these floating losses in their hands will have opportunities to turn into profits in the future.
He hurriedly asked Liu Zhongzhou: "Chairman, is today the last day of the meeting?"
Liu Zhongzhou said: "Yes, it's the last day, but the experts and scholars who participated in the meeting are still at the meeting in the afternoon, and there is a meeting dinner for all the staff in the evening, and they will leave Jiangcheng tomorrow, you can go to listen to it if you have time, and even after the afternoon meeting, you can go to the conference dinner, chat with everyone at the banquet, and do more horizontal communication, there are benefits!"
Huang Hongliang said: "Yes, yes, I will listen to it in the afternoon!" It turned out that his heart was full of gloom, but at this time, he dispelled his worries about the future, relaxed his mood, and had the heart to go out to hear more good news.
Jiang Hua glanced at Li Xin, who was hanging his head, and a clear smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If you want to talk about contradictions, Li Xin and Jiang Hua have the biggest contradictions. Liu Zhongzhou cleaned up Li Xin like this, and Jiang Hua was the most comfortable in his heart, because Liu Zhongzhou's move completed what Jiang Hua could not do.
In the past, when Li Xin was under Jiang Hua, because of Li Xin's unruliness, Jiang Hua had only one word for Li Xin, that is, "hate". But at that time, because of Liu Zhongzhou's words, he didn't let Jiang Hua arrange too much transactional work for Li Xin, he hated Li Xin to the core, but he was helpless.
Now Jiang Hua has a few more words for Li Xin's feelings: "envy, jealousy". Li Xin's current position makes Jiang Hua unable to move Li Xin at all, and the wealth that Li Xin has, just like Li Xin despised him in public that time, is something he can't achieve after decades of work. Looking at Li Xin's shiny BMW sedan, there was far more jealousy in his heart than envy.
Of course, because Li Xin despised the hatred he brought, it had always been unabated in his heart.
It was rare for Liu Zhongzhou to target a certain person at a meeting from the beginning. Liu Zhongzhou's position within the group is obvious to all, coupled with his tough style, no one has dared to challenge his authority.
Even a powerful faction like Xue Chenzhi, who holds the smelter, the most important asset of the group, is cautious in the process of secretly wrestling with Liu Zhongzhou, and tries to leave room everywhere.
