Xue Chenzhi now urgently needs someone who can tell him where the bottom of the copper price is, so that he can carefully calculate how long the Southern Group can hold out, and whether it is possible for the copper price to rise from this bottom to the level where the group can make a profit before the end of the year. This is very important.

But this question is too difficult for Zheng Guorui, he blinked his eyes and replied: "I can't say for sure, but I can say with certainty that it is a little difficult for copper prices to return to more than 53,000 yuan in the short term. ”

Xue Chenzhi was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then asked: "Copper prices are so low, do you have any good countermeasures?"

Seeing that Xue Chenzhi's mood had stabilized at this time, some people had the courage to reply: "Since we can't see the momentum of rising copper prices in the short term, it is better to sell the new mine as soon as possible." ”

Xue Chenzhi sighed: "This thing has never stopped, it has been done." But the problem is that it's been hanging out for so long, and no one cares about it at all. ”

The man said, "I'm afraid I'll have to figure out how to deal with the price." ”

Xue Chenzhi said: "Of course, it is a good thing to be able to realize it as soon as possible, but it is not good if the price concession is too large, otherwise no one will be able to explain it." ”

As soon as he said this, it was difficult for others to say anything.

After the meeting, the first thing Huang Hongliang did when he returned to the office was to summon all his sales managers and salesmen to the office, and instructed them to contact customers quickly and sell the copper in the warehouse as soon as possible.

It fell by more than 2,100 yuan in one day, such a decline, how much does the copper in the warehouse lose in one day?

It was at this time that Hou Gui received a call from Huang Hongliang: "Director Hou, do you want to come to buy today? The price of copper has been lowered a little, and the price is relatively advantageous." ”

Hou Gui said strangely: "I just bought a batch of goods before the holiday, didn't the sales manager tell you?"

"Really? Maybe he forgot. However, today's copper price is really good, if you can enter, you can enter a little more. ”

"Mr. Huang, of course I hope to enter a little more, but the problem is that the price of cable is also falling very strongly, if I don't grasp the rhythm well, the raw materials that come in will have no advantage, my profits will be thinner, and my life is also sad." Hou Gui said helplessly.

"Alas, there is really no way to say the market situation now, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Okay, you are busy with yours first, notify me when you want to buy, and I will arrange it for you. ”

"Okay, okay. ”

After Hou Gui hung up the phone, a trace of doubt appeared in his heart. Huang Hongliang, a guy with a big shelf, took the initiative to call today to tell himself that the copper price has an advantage, and persuaded himself to buy goods, which has never happened before.

Thinking of this, Hou Guicai suddenly realized that when he was talking to Huang Hongliang on the phone just now, he didn't follow Huang Hongliang's words and ask how much the copper price of their sales company has been reduced today?

He just wanted to call Huang Hongliang to ask this question, but the phone had already been picked up, and he put it down again.

He felt that this matter was not simple, and he was so unprepared to discuss with Huang Hongliang, it was better to find out what was wrong first, and then call him when he had the bottom in his heart.

Thinking of this, he put down what he was doing and hurried back to his office. He knew that the changes in the copper price in the market would definitely be reflected in today's futures price, and he had to look at this first.

When he turned on the computer, he was immediately dumbfounded: the price of copper was actually on the falling limit!

Compared with the last trading day before the holiday, it fell by more than 2,100 yuan.

In other words, the batch of goods that I went to the Southern Group on the last day before the holiday is now at least 2,100 yuan more expensive per ton.

"Damn, what's going on with this TMD?" Hou Gui didn't have time to feel sorry for the money he lost, so he hurriedly collected all kinds of information on the computer, wanting to see what the copper price suddenly plummeted for. Because this momentum has given him a very clear message: that is, the price of copper is likely to continue to fall, and if he doesn't understand this problem, the copper he buys next is likely to be expensive.

He sat in front of the computer for more than an hour, carefully checked all aspects of the information, and then found that he was busy with things on the production line during the National Day, and did not have time to pay attention to the fundamentals of international and domestic copper prices.

My first feeling when I saw the copper price on the falling limit was right: the copper price is likely to continue to fall!

"Damn, I'll just say that Huang Hongliang's cunning guy's behavior today is a little abnormal, if it weren't for the fact that the price of copper has plummeted on the falling limit today, and there is still room for it to continue to fall, how could he be so kind to let himself go to the stock?

No, the pace of restocking has to be slowed down.

After determining this principle, Hou Gui had the heart to go back and calculate the accounts, and see how the money he bought the expensive goods before the holiday could make up for it in the sales price.

After carefully calculating the accounts, Hou Gui felt even more distressed. Originally, the price of the product fell faster than the price of raw materials, and now it is difficult to encounter the sharp drop of raw material copper, if you do not buy that batch of copper before the holiday, buy it at this price today, and it is cheaper by more than 2,100 yuan per ton, which at least accounts for a large advantage in cost. It's a pity that I stepped on the wrong rhythm, otherwise, this would be a good opportunity sent by God.

Today's fall limit is a sign that copper prices will continue to fall, but the question is whether the rate of decline will continue to be like this? How long will it last? This issue needs to be talked to by someone.

But who to talk to, Huang Hongliang will definitely not tell the truth to himself, otherwise he would not have called and fooled himself to buy goods just now.

Suddenly, Hou Gui thought of Li Xin, who had not been in touch for a long time.

Yes, this guy should be able to talk. His views on copper prices tend to be more accurate, and he and Huang Hongliang are not all the way.

Thinking of this, he found Li Xin's phone number from his mobile phone and called: "Li Xin, what are you doing?"

Li Xin didn't have Hou Gui's phone number in his mobile phone, and when he received his call, he couldn't react to who he was for a while: "Who are you?"

"How forgetful you are, I'm Hou Gui. ”

"Oh, it's Director Hou, long time no see. ”

"yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you busy with?"

"I'm not busy, I'm traveling in Xi'an. ”

"Are you traveling outside at this time?" Hou Gui was very surprised.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Have you paid attention to today's copper price?" As soon as he heard that Li Xin was traveling outside, Hou Gui didn't have much hope in his heart, he didn't believe that Li Xin would pay attention to the copper price trend when he was out sightseeing. If you don't pay attention to it, how can you have a more pertinent view of copper prices? But the problem is that the phone calls have already been connected, and he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, by the way.

"Looked. Li Xin said.

"Oh, then what is your opinion?Do you think it will continue to fall in the future?" Hou Gui had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"I think it's going to fall, and it may not be able to stop for a while. ”

"I think so, you see that as soon as the market opens today, it is a falling limit, and there has been no such situation for more than a year. So how much more do you think it will fall?"

Li Xin didn't hide it, and told him his opinion honestly: "I think there are at least two falling limits." ”

"Really, will there be so many?"

"Definitely, if you don't believe it, you can see the result in two days. ”

"Alas, I'm at a miserable loss!" Hou Gui really hated himself for being lazy at this time, why didn't he ask Li Xin when he was shipping goods before the festival? If you ask his opinion, wouldn't this loss be avoided?

"What's wrong? you're doing too much?" asked Li Xin.

"No, how dare I go long in the futures market now, I'm talking about the last day before the holiday, I just went to your Southern Group to buy a batch of goods. It's only been a few days? Today, the price fell by more than 2,100 yuan as soon as the market opened, wouldn't it be much cheaper if I bought it today? And you said that there is still room for two falling limits, so that the batch of goods I bought before the holiday will be even more expensive!"

"This is different, the raw material copper used in your production line is different from the buying and selling relationship in the futures market, as long as you need it, it makes sense to buy it at any time. ”

If I had known that there was room for nearly three falling limits, I would rather give them more than a week off during the National Day period, and wait for a few days when the copper price falls in place before buying raw materials and starting work. In this way, my workers' overtime wages have been saved, and the cost of copper prices has also been reduced, so why not?"

Li Xin smiled: "Director Hou, sugarcane is not sweet at both ends, how can you take advantage of any cheapness, right?"

"That's true, but I feel very uncomfortable when I think about it. ”

"If you want to open a little, the fall in copper prices is a good thing for you. ”

"I can only comfort myself like this, otherwise what should I do?"

After Zheng Guorui returned to his office from the conference room, he sat at the table in a daze.

The cliff-like gap in copper prices on the computer screen indicates that the space below is still huge. Based on the answer he gave when he answered Xue Chenzhi's question in the conference room just now, if the copper price of 49,000 yuan lasted for a month or two, it would be enough for the Southern Group to be unable to open the pot.

If the price is lower than that, the outcome is even more unpredictable.

When the meeting was held a few months ago, the worry that Zheng Guorui had been vaguely thinking about after Li Xin spoke at the venue has gradually become a reality.
