The Chevrolet business car driven by Master Yang is Wu Bin's special car, luxurious, spacious and comfortable, with a total of seven seats in the front and rear rows, and three people in the second row are not crowded at all.

This car is imported from the United States, commonly known as the American bullet, in the streets of Santana and Guangzhou Peugeot is particularly eye-catching, it is said that there are only two in the entire Jiangcheng City, driving on the street The rate of turning back is extremely high.

This time Wu Bin went to visit outside the province, except for Li Xin, many people want to go, the reason is very simple: from a business point of view, in the past, they were all on business trips in the province, and they were only familiar with the situation in this province, but now they can go to these two important production areas of sucrose in China to investigate, and the opportunity is very rare.

From a personal point of view, Jiangnan is located in the border, information is relatively closed, now there is an opportunity to take the company's CEO's special car along the way thousands of kilometers to see the more economically developed places, which is compared with the past with luggage to squeeze the train and squeeze the bus to go to the province on a business trip, it is simply a beautiful difference. No wonder Xia Xiaona danced with joy.

The reason why Yu Shuhua, the manager of the alcohol sales branch, went with him, firstly, because the expectation of the rise in sucrose prices this year is relatively clear, and the alcohol sales branch in addition to the previous alcohol sales business, also wants to get involved in the sucrose sales business, and this visit is a good opportunity to familiarize yourself with the sucrose sales business.

Second, a company in Viet West Province of the alcohol sales branch has a large amount of receivables, which have not been collected for a long time, and this money can be collected by the way.

Yao Li, the manager of the finance department of the head office, also wanted to go with her, but she couldn't make the trip because she had to coordinate the loan with the bank.

Li Xin sat in the car, a little preoccupied, and he became more and more worried that he would not be able to deal with adverse changes in the futures market in time. After thinking about it, I finally had to comfort myself: if you come, you will be safe, and you must trust your own judgment, not to mention that you are only half a warehouse at present.

As for the changes in the market, you can learn about it by phone, and it is not too late to deal with it according to the actual situation. This is actually the same as the practice of learning about the market on the phone in the office and then making trades.

When I think about it this way, my heart is much more steady.

Teresa Teng's songs were playing on the stereo in the car, and Li Xin liked her songs very much, and looked through the atlas while listening to the songs.

The temperature of the air conditioner was very suitable, and even if the afternoon sun shone through the car window, Li Xin couldn't feel the slightest heat.

The journey of thousands of kilometers has just begun, and everyone has a vision for the journey ahead. The wonderful feeling of moving forward to the future on the road, even Li Xin, who is preoccupied, has a kind of expectation in his heart.

Everyone chatted with great interest, Xia Xiaona took out a bag of oranges from her bag and distributed it to everyone. Yu Shuhua said: "Master Yang, you can't eat while driving, so you can only eat when you rest." ”

Master Yang joked: "Watching you eat, I'm going to laugh." Xia Xiaona, why don't you peel it and feed it to me. ”

Everyone laughed, and Xia Xiaona smiled and said, "Hehe...... I don't dare. I'll keep it for you, and you can eat it when you stop and rest. ”

After eating the oranges, Li Xin subconsciously reached out and touched the cigarette in his trouser pocket, wanting to smoke one. But after thinking about it, Wu Bin and Master Yang were not smoking, and there were two female colleagues sitting next to them, and the space in the car was really not suitable for smoking, so they had to give up.

He saw that Wu Bin had finished eating the oranges and was drinking tea with a thermos cup, so he asked, "Mr. Wu, where are we going this time?"

Wu Bin put the cup on the cup holder and said, "The four most important sugarcane producing areas and local sugar factories in Guidong and Yuexi provinces should be visited, and the CEOs of sugar companies in these two provinces should also be visited." I have to go to so many places in about two weeks, and the time is still relatively tight. In the process of investigation, Li Xin and Xia Xiaona, the two of you should pay attention to collecting information, watching and listening more. ”

Li Xin and Xia Xiaona hurriedly nodded yes.

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "This is equivalent to going to a different place every day, except for the time spent on the road traffic, the time you can stay in each place is really not much, it's quite stressful." ”

Master Yang interjected: "I haven't been to any of these places, and I'm not familiar with the road. Li Xin, we have to cooperate well. Every time before you set off to a place, you should choose the route first, and how to turn at the forks in the road along the way, you have to remind me at all times according to the map signs, otherwise it will be a waste of time to take the wrong road. ”

Li Xin smiled and said, "No problem, I'll be your assistant." ”

Wu Bin asked Master Yang: "You are the only one who has a driver's license, and you drive for such a long time, can you do it?"

Master Yang said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wu, no problem! When I was working in the factory before, the unit sent us to the northeast to receive the bus, and one person drove the car from Changchun all the way back to Jiangcheng, which was also a road of more than 4,000 kilometers. Driving such an imported car now is luxurious and comfortable, and it is much better than driving a bus back then!"

Yu Shuhua said: "Master Yang, we are all tired from taking the car, and you must be even more tired." Stop and take a break every few hours, safety first. ”

Wu Bin said to Master Yang: "Manager Yu is right, if you feel sleepy, you can stop and rest at any time, pay attention to safety!"

Master Yang said, "It's okay, Mr. Wu, I'll pay attention." ”

Li Xin asked Xia Xiaona: "In addition to fruits, do you have some dried chili peppers in this bag?"

Xia Xiaona asked puzzledly, "What are you doing with chili peppers?"

Li Xin said: "Master Yang was sleepy on the way, give him a chili pepper, the effect was immediate, and he immediately felt a hundred times more energetic." The crowd laughed.

Wu Bin turned around and asked Yu Shuhua: "Your receivables have been delayed for a long time, can you take them back this time?" ”

Yu Shuhua said: "I guess it's no problem, it's all discussed on the phone, and I should be able to take it back this time." ”

She continued: "Mr. Wu, after the loan is approved, our alcohol sales company will apply for a quarter of the total amount, and it will be allocated to us in time when the time comes." ”

Wu Bin said: "The loan is used to do business with several of your branches, and the key is that you must make good use of the money, make money, and profit is the ultimate goal." Then, he changed the subject and asked, "Are you sure that you want so much money to do the sugar business?"

Yu Shuhua replied: "We have thought about it carefully and are sure. The cane sugar sales business is quite profitable, and sooner or later it will be done, so this time we will take advantage of the opportunity to do it first. ”

Wu Bin asked again: "The sugar sales branch has already booked a lot of sucrose in the sugar factory, what about you, how is the progress now?"

Yu Shuhua hurriedly reported: "Our original main alcohol sales business is in progress according to the previous steps, so let's not talk about this. With regard to the sale of sugar, we have booked 2,000 tonnes of sugar at the sugar mill with our own funds, and after the loan is in place, 80% will be used to purchase cane sugar and the remaining 20% will be used to buy alcohol. ”

Wu Bin said: "The alcohol sales business is your strength, you have special railway lines, special tankers for transportation, warehouses have special storage tanks, these conditions are few other companies can compete with you, you have to make this business stronger and bigger." It's good to expand the cane sugar sales business, but you have to learn more from the cane sugar sales branches, they are more experienced in this area. ”

Wu Bin picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of tea, and then said: "The material branch also has this problem, after the loan is approved, they also apply for a quarter of the total amount, most of which is also used to purchase cane sugar. Your two branches may have some problems with the personnel reserve in this business, so you should plan ahead. ”

Wu Bin and Yu Shuhua talked about the loan matter only known to the company's leadership, and Li Xin listened to it in a fog, thinking of Xia Xiaona's saying that the company wanted to buy a large amount of sucrose, but Li Xin had no way of knowing how much and how large it was to buy.

Hearing this, he felt that now was a good opportunity, and the amount of the loan they were talking about was a key piece of information, so Li Xin inquired tentatively: "Mr. Wu, what is the total amount of the loan to the bank, and how long will it take to get approved?"

After the words came out, he immediately felt a little apprehensive in his heart, feeling that his question was a bit abrupt. After all, this is a company secret, maybe Wu Bin won't answer, but he won't blame himself for not asking about it in front of so many people in the car, at least he will be silent after hearing it, that will be enough to embarrass himself.

What he didn't expect was that Wu Bin didn't care about this, and said casually: "The total amount is 200 million, if it can be approved, it is estimated that there will be news in the next week or two." ”

Yu Shuhua asked with some concern: "With such a large loan amount this time, will there be any problems on the bank's side?"

Wu Bin said: "Our company's reputation with the bank is very good, and the loans in the past have been smooth. Of course, I have never applied for such a large amount of loan this time before. Manager Yao of the finance department of the head office is busy with this matter, and it is estimated that there is no big problem. ”

Even though Li Xin had little understanding of the scale of the entire company's operation in the past, and he had no idea how much the capital of 200 million yuan had increased compared with the previous business scale, the amount of 200 million yuan still made him secretly surprised in his heart.

He silently estimated in his heart that at the current price, this fund can buy more than 40,000 tons of sugar in the sugar factory, and if it is placed in the futures market, the amount of cane sugar that can be bought will be magnified by ten times!

From the conversation between Wu Bin and Yu Shuhua, he heard that such a loan scale is also unprecedented in the company. With the company's position in the provincial sugar circulation market, such a big move will undoubtedly boost sugar prices, which is a huge good news!

This news reassured him again, and his previous worries gradually drifted away like floating clouds.

As he spoke, the car drove into a small town. Chatting all the way, time passed quickly, and before I knew it, three or four hours had passed, and it was time for dinner, and the group decided to leave after dinner.

Master Yang said to Wu Bin: "This town produces a kind of tribute rice, the rice is glutinous and fragrant, and the local Sanqi stewed chicken is also good, should we try it?"

Wu Bin smiled and said, "Okay, it's up to you to arrange." ”

Master Yang hurriedly waved his hand and replied: "Don't dare, Mr. Wu! Don't say that, it's up to you, I'll lead the way, hehe......" Saying all the way, Master Yang led the way to a famous local farmhouse courtyard, and after entering the house and sitting down, several people were eating melon seeds while waiting for the meal to be served.

After a while, a large pot of stewed chicken and a pot of rice were served. Li Xin looked at the fragrant, glutinous and white rice in the bowl, and praised Master Yang: "Sure enough, such fragrant rice, I can eat three bowls without vegetables!"

Master Yang said, "Don't worry, you can scoop a little more chicken soup and taste it in the rice." ”

Li Xin tried the chicken soup and rice he said, stretched out his thumb and said, "Absolutely! Master Yang, you are really blessed, you haven't eaten less before, right?"

Yu Shuhua and Xia Xiaona were also full of praise for this delicacy, and shouted, "Master Yang, you must take this road when you come back!"

Master Yang was surprised and asked, "Why?"

Xia Xiaona said: "This rice is so delicious, buy some to bring back when you come back and pass by here." ”

Yu Shuhua also said: "That is, you must stop here when you come back." ”

Wu Bin laughed when he heard this, and said: "Women and men are still different, the three of us men will finish eating, and you women will want to bring them home after eating." ”

After dinner, Master Yang and Li Xin studied the highway traffic map, and the nearest destination was still more than 200 kilometers away.

Master Yang suggested: "Mr. Wu, why don't we set off in a while, and strive to rush to the next destination at night to stay, so that we can go to the local sugarcane planting area and sugar factory early tomorrow morning to understand the situation." ”

Wu Bin said, "Okay, then let's go." ”

By this time, night had fallen. The group hurried out of the hotel and got into the car.

The car slowly drove out of the town, and the bright lights pierced the dark night sky in the suburbs, gradually disappearing into the deep night.
