At that time, if the funds allowed, the hedging position in the futures market could fully cover their own raw material purchases, and this method was very effective in reducing the cost of raw materials. However, due to financial constraints, such an operation cannot fully cover the quantity of raw material purchases.

However, even if the funds are sufficient, the premise of buying hedging is that the price of copper continues to rise, if the price of copper does not rise or falls, then the purchase of hedging may not be able to spread the cost, but may lead to losses in the futures account.

However, this month, I took this method of buying raw materials in three installments, and the effect was obviously much better than the original effect of buying hedging. And the most important thing is to make three purchases in this way, so you don't have to worry about judging how the price will go, as long as you have time to buy, which is simple and trouble-free in comparison.

Hou Gui secretly regretted that in the course of the rapid rise in copper prices in the past year or two, why did he not think of this method? Because of insufficient funds, he went to the futures market to buy and hedge the operation, and now it seems that he has taken a detour.

Thinking about it, the fundamental reason why I have been entangled and depressed in the past is that I want to make an accurate judgment on the trend of copper prices, and the previous hedging operation is based on the judgment that copper prices will rise.

However, there is no way to judge the trend of copper prices! The facts of the past year or two have proved that the efforts in this matter are half the effort, and it is better to implement the current method of purchasing raw materials in stages, and no longer worry about whether the price of raw materials will rise or fall.

As long as you follow this method, no matter whether the price of copper rises or falls, you will not buy the highest price even if you buy it at the lowest price on average in a month.

He secretly made up his mind to do it in the future.

Liu Zhongzhou, who had already stepped aside, had nothing to do all day, except for drinking tea and reading newspapers in the office, he had nothing else to do.

However, the rapid decline in copper prices in recent times is like a shot in the arm for him, and he is suddenly energetic after being sluggish.

Looking at the copper price, which had fallen by nearly 15,000 yuan, his dead heart was now alive again.

I think that when he sold and opened a position near the copper price of 38,000 yuan, the copper price has been in the process of rising rapidly since then, resulting in a huge loss in his short selling position. At that time, the price of copper could not be said to have risen rapidly, but even at such a rapid rate, it took four or five months for the price of copper to rise by seven or eight thousand yuan.

But now in such a short period of time, the price of copper has plummeted by nearly 15,000 yuan, which makes Liu Zhongzhou secretly lament that he was born at the wrong time. Such a big decline, if it appeared when he held a position, even if he didn't make tens of millions or even 100 million, he wouldn't lose so much, and then he wouldn't have fallen to this step now.

On this day, when he came out to go to the toilet, he passed by the door of Li Xin's office, and when he saw Li Xin's door open, he turned around and walked in.

After being demoted, Liu Zhongzhou is now a real loner, and the subordinates who used to follow him closely now see him, except for squeezing out a few smiling smiles on his face and calling him "Mr. Liu", he will not have too much contact with him.

Liu Zhongzhou himself didn't have the face to go to the original gang of subordinates, he now has a vacant position of deputy general manager, but he can't manage anything. In contrast, it turned out that everyone in this gang had more or less real power in their hands, and they now looked very embarrassed in front of them, and they couldn't get over their face.

When meeting with these people, it is already the best choice to say hello to each other tacitly, otherwise what to talk about with these people?

People are so strange, and when the mentality changes, the original ordinary and natural topics seem redundant. With the original group of henchmen, Liu Zhongzhou can't talk about the topics he can talk about with strangers now.

When I have a lot of feelings in my heart like today, and when I want to tell the truth and speak from my heart, Liu Zhongzhou will not go to them. Liu Zhongzhou knows very well in his heart that it is Jin Changxing who is now in power, and if he is not careful, the words he says will immediately be passed to Jin Changxing's ears, and Liu Zhongzhou, who can no longer withstand the toss, does not want to cause trouble for himself because of these things.

So now Liu Zhongzhou is like a person in a suit, he wraps himself tightly, does not contact with the outside world, and makes it impossible for the outside world to communicate with him.

He suddenly wanted to walk into Li Xin's office today, which is already a very rare thing for him, there are two reasons here, one is that he has been suppressed for too long, he has a lot of things to say to outsiders in his heart, and the other is that there are only a handful of people who can talk to him, and it seems that it is safer to talk to Li Xin when he thinks about it.

The city government is very deep, and Liu Zhongzhou, who is very old-looking, can see that Li Xin, a young man, does not belong to any faction now, and when he was still the chairman, Li Xin is also in this situation, neither will he be attached to his chairman like Huang Hongliang and Zheng Guorui, nor will he form a gang with anyone.

Li Xin is still the same Li Xin, this is a special case within the Southern Group that has undergone great changes, in Liu Zhongzhou's view, this is very rare, talking to him, there is no need to worry about being beaten and reported.

Although thinking so, Liu Zhongzhou's steps towards the door of Li Xin's office were no longer as easy as when he was still the chairman of the board. He was still a little apprehensive in his heart, which was still a little unusual for him, who had once been the leader of the Southern Group.

Although he was not worried that Li Xin would report what he said to Jin Changxing, recalling the pertinent advice Li Xin gave him and his attitude towards Li Xin, Liu Zhongzhou still had no bottom in his heart about whether Li Xin would snub him.

Li Xin was also quite surprised by the uninvited guest who suddenly walked in the door, and he subconsciously got up and greeted: "Mr. Liu, is there something wrong?"

Li Xin got up to greet his actions, which made Liu Zhongzhou's worry dissipate, but the smile on his face was still a little unnatural: "It's okay, let's talk to you casually." ”

When Li Xin heard this, he hurriedly walked out from behind the desk, pointed to the sofa and said to Liu Zhongzhou, "Sit, Mr. Liu." ”

After Liu Zhongzhou sat down, Li Xin took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Liu Zhongzhou, Liu Zhongzhou shook half of the cigar in his hand, signaling Li Xin that he wanted to smoke this, Li Xin smiled slightly, lit one by himself, and then sat opposite Liu Zhongzhou.

He didn't know why Liu Zhongzhou wanted to come to talk to him today, what did he want to talk about?

Liu Zhongzhou rarely came to his office before, and even when he came in, he turned around and left after telling things with a serious face, and never chatted with himself.

Walking in with a smile like today is really a bit unusual, plus Liu Zhongzhou's identity at this time is a little special, Li Xin didn't know his intention, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask. He was worried that if his words were inappropriate, it would easily embarrass each other, so he smoked a cigarette and waited quietly for Liu Zhongzhou to speak.

It is estimated that Liu Zhongzhou was prepared for such a situation, and he spoke a few seconds later: "The copper price has fallen very quickly recently, what do you think?"

Liu Zhongzhou started the conversation with such a straightforward topic, which is actually the best choice. He and Li Xin hadn't had such face-to-face communication for a long time, except for nodding to each other when they met in the aisle.

At this time, they suddenly chatted together, and if he couldn't figure it out himself, he would still be talking about how the work was going, how was the work going, and whether he needed help to solve any problems, which would make it difficult for Li Xin to answer, because answering these questions would more or less involve some things that made Liu Zhongzhou feel embarrassed or embarrassed.

And if Li Xin really replied that there was any problem that he needed to help solve, it would make Liu Zhongzhou feel even more embarrassed, because Liu Zhongzhou was no longer able to help Li Xin solve any problems.

Li Xin listened to Liu Zhongzhou's question and replied: "Yes, it fell too fast, and it was a little unexpected." ”

Liu Zhongzhou asked, "Unexpectedly, do you think it will rise again?"

Li Xin said: "That's not it, I mean it's falling too fast. ”

Liu Zhongzhou said: "Do you think it will continue to fall?"

Li Xin said: "Then I can't say for sure. ”

Liu Zhongzhou smiled slightly and said, "It's because your mind is not on this, right?"

Li Xin didn't know what the meaning of his words was, so he said: "No, I really don't understand, it's rare to see such a large fluctuation, I really don't know if it will rise or fall in the future." ”

Liu Zhongzhou didn't seem to hear Li Xin's answer, and said lightly: "They should really listen to your suggestion to buy shares of Western Copper, this mine is estimated to be a ** annoyance." ”

When Li Xin heard this, he understood the meaning of Liu Zhongzhou's sentence just now, "Is it because his mind is not on this?" that he was alluding to the fact that his mind was not on the copper price, but on the stock price of the western counterpart.

Liu Zhongzhou followed the first half of the following sentence to show that he did not pay attention to the matter of the stock price of Western Copper, and the second half of this sentence is the focus of Liu Zhongzhou's words, and Li Xin is interested in the second half of the sentence.

So he asked: "Mr. Liu, based on the current copper price, the mine of the new mine should not be profitable, right?"

Liu Zhongzhou said: "It's not just that it doesn't make money, if the price of copper is maintained at this level, it is estimated that by the end of the year, the new mine alone will lose more than 200 million yuan." ”
