As a little-known person in the company, if Li Xin was to protect himself in these incidents, he could have kept out of the matter without saying a word.

But Li Xin is not the kind of person who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, for the sake of the company, he will say unreasonable things when he sees them.

He is so brave to take responsibility for official affairs that do not have much stake in him, will he be wrong with the people around him in the future?

Li Xin's image in Xia Xiaona's mind was established little by little.

Now that her sweetheart is in front of her, Xia Xiaona seems to have a deer in her chest, and the flush that has just dissipated on her face is gradually flushing again.

Sitting opposite Li Xin like this, Xia Xiaona has had countless times. But it is the first time that a topic like today vaguely involves the feelings of the two.

Xia Xiaona suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity, and came to Li Xin's office by mistake to talk about this topic, maybe if she continued to talk like this, she would find an opportunity to show Li Xin her heart.

But the more she thought about it, the more she didn't know how to speak, and even the state of the calm conversation she had just now was gone.

Li Xin saw Xia Xiaona lowering her head and stopped talking, thinking of her attitude towards Lin Li just now, thinking that she didn't want to talk more about her feelings.

It was embarrassing to sit without talking like this, so he changed the subject and said, "Did you tell your dad about stocks? ”

As soon as Li Xin said this, Xia Xiaona remembered that Lin Li's words just now disturbed her mind, and she forgot about it when she went back to the office.

In addition, Li Xin suddenly changed the topic, which made Xia Xiaona mistakenly think that Li Xin didn't want to continue the topic just now and was running away from something.

She suddenly felt that she was a little self-inflicted, so she quickly stood up and said, "I just cared about dealing with Lin Li, and I forgot about this matter, and I will go back and call now." ”

With that, she quickly left the place that made her look forward to it but worried that it would embarrass her.

For the rest of the day's trading, Western Copper was closed on the price limit, and neither Xia Xiaona nor her father bought the stock.

On the third day, Western Copper opened at 28.51, Xia Xiaona called and asked Li Xin: "Western Copper didn't buy it yesterday, can you buy it now?"

Li Xin said: "Of course you can, buy it quickly." ”

Xia Xiaona asked: "Didn't you say yesterday that there was a pullback and then buy? Now that the market has risen by more than 3% at the opening, will there be risks?"

Li Xin said: "Chasing high is risky, but it depends on what the situation is. Now that Western Copper has become the number one target for funds to chase on the field, if you don't buy it now, the price will be higher in the future. ”

Xia Xiaona said, "Okay. On these issues, she believes in Li Xin's vision.

Li Xin was right, 28.51 was the lowest price of the day for Western Copper, and the closing price was 28.95, up 5%, once again setting the highest trading volume in the history of the stock.

On the fourth day, although the western copper industry closed down 3.6%, the trading volume shrank sharply, only 60% of the previous day.

On the fifth day, the stock opened flat, and then the price was up. The surge of selling orders was absorbed by the stronger selling orders.

On the sixth day, the stock opened with a gap, and then went all the way up to the price limit, and the price was 33.76 yuan.

At this point, Li Xin's still hanging heart has been completely put down. Even at the price of his second purchase, the current price is far out of his cost range. If he needs to sell, there is enough room for him to liquidate all the shares above the price of the second purchase.

On this day, looking at the rising stock price of Western Copper, Long Yunkai said to Wang Minghui: "Li Xin is right again, we sold early, and how much profit we made." You see, brokerages in various securities magazines are recommending this stock, saying that it is a leading stock, and there is room for growth. ”

Wang Minghui asked with some complicated feelings: "Do you want to chase?"

He was the first to buy this stock with Li Xin, but he was the first to sell it.

Based on the price at which he sold, the stock price has now risen by more than 150%, and he regrets it in his heart, he can't say it, and there is a feeling that he got up early in the morning but missed the evening set.

If those stocks are left until now, not to mention the extra profits, you can buy a villa, buy a house and add a mid-range car, there is no problem at all.

Long Yunkai said: "Now chasing into it must be more than lucky, don't chase it." Why haven't you seen him come to the big house recently?"

Wang Minghui said flatteringly: "He's like this, he never sees his figure when he has nothing to do." But it's no wonder that in the final analysis, he is still an office worker, and he gets the unit to punch in every day, which is like you, Mr. Long, he is the boss, and he has the final say on where he wants to go. ”

Long Yunkai said disapprerovingly: "In fact, Li Xin's kid should not be underestimated, not to mention anything else, just the stock of Western Copper, he has made a lot of money, according to the current stock price, the market value of his account is two or three hundred million, this is only part of his net worth, and the stock is all cash as soon as it is sold." I can't put two or three hundred million cash operations on my stock and futures accounts. My billions of funds are all pressed in the factory, and if so much money is withdrawn, the capital chain in the factory will be broken. ”

Obedient and obedient, Wang Minghui sniffed out something else from Long Yunkai's words, so he didn't care about the embarrassment, and lost no time in asking: "Mr. Long, didn't you ask him to have dinner last time, did he go?"

Long Yunkai said: "No, I asked him to set his own time, but he never replied to me, I don't know what he thinks." If he sets a time, I'm sure I'll call you. ”

Wang Minghui grinned when he heard this, what he was worried about was that Long Yunkai asked Li Xin to eat and leave him alone.

After eliminating this worry, he felt that there was a good opportunity to further tie up with Long Yunkai and Li Xin, he rolled his eyes and asked: "Li Xin is a tendon, when do you have to wait for him to set his own time? Maybe he would have forgotten about this matter long ago." Why don't I ask him out for you?"

Long Yunkai said: "Yes, but I have to wait until next month, I have to go to Australia tomorrow, and it is estimated that it will take more than 20 days to come back." ”

Wang Minghui said: "Good place, do dragons always go on vacation?"

Long Yunkai let out a long sigh: "Alas, how can I have that mind now!"

Wang Minghui asked strangely: "Mr. Long, what are you doing when you go to Australia for more than 20 days?"

Long Yunkai leaned back on the Taipan chair and stretched his waist for a long time: "Alas, I'm busy, this trip is a business trip." ”

"Mr. Long, you are amazing, all the steel in your factory is sold to Australia. Wang Minghui sighed.

Long Yunkai explained: "No, selling steel is not necessarily more profitable than selling it in China, and the procedures are still troublesome. I'm going to buy iron ore. ”

Wang Minghui became more and more puzzled: "Isn't there also iron ore in China, and you still need to travel thousands of miles to Australia to buy it?" Besides, can't you just hand over this kind of thing to the chief of the supply and marketing section, and you still need to buy raw materials in person, a big boss?"

Wang Minghui's words happened to be the most headache for Long Yunkai.

Long Yunkai's steel mill has just caught up with the golden age of real estate development in recent years, and the demand for construction steel in the market is very large, and the steel in his factory has been in short supply.

However, in this good situation, there is a problem that he has no choice but to solve, that is, the insufficient supply of raw materials.

The iron ore used in his factory now mainly comes from mines in the province, although the price of this iron ore is relatively low, but the taste is not high, containing more impurities, and the actual production is not more cost-effective than using high-priced high-quality iron ore imported from Australia.

If his steel mill is near a coastal port, it is more advantageous to use imported high-quality iron ore at high prices.

But the problem is that his steel mill is inland, far away from the coastal ports, and the barely available imported high-quality iron ore at the CIF price is too far to be transported to the factory, plus a lot of freight, the imported ore is not worth using in large quantities.

The price is not right, so if you don't use it, you don't need it.

However, the problem is that in addition to the insufficient supply of local mines, their low taste has brought another problem that cannot be avoided, and the use of low-grade ores is not only more troublesome in the production process, but also relatively low cost, and product quality is also prone to problems.

Therefore, his steel mill imports a large amount of high-priced, high-quality iron ore every year, which is mixed with low-grade iron ore in the production process, just like an additive.

After adding high-quality iron ore in this way, the product quality is stable, and the increased cost is relatively controllable, which has become a magic weapon in his factory.

If the price of imported ore is like in previous years, with the current steel price, Longyunkai's steel mills will be more profitable.

But how can sugar cane be sweet at both ends?

The domestic iron ore reserves are relatively low, coupled with the large increase in steel demand in recent years, the domestic iron ore price has long been not the same level as before.

Foreign regions rich in high-quality iron ore, such as Australia, are not willing to give up when they see the momentum of development in full swing in our country, and they also want to make a lot of money on this high-speed train.

Therefore, the price of high-quality iron ore exported by Australia has risen sharply almost every year in recent years, sometimes even two or three times a year.

According to their huge import volumes, large and super-large domestic steel mills can also negotiate a long-term agreement price with ore producers in Australia and other places to avoid frequent fluctuations in ore prices.

But even so, such a long-term agreement will only last for six months or one year, and will have to be renegotiated after expiration.

Once renegotiated, the increase in the new price will rarely be below 20%, and in many cases it will be more than 50%.

In this regard, domestic steel mills complained, but there was a shortage of raw materials, and the right to speak was in the hands of others, so such bitter wine had to pinch their noses again and again and pour into their stomachs.

Stuck by others The lifeblood of raw material supply, domestic large and super-large steel mills still have to drink bitter wine, and small private steel mills like Long Yunkai are even more powerless.
