Chapter 246: Some Regrets
What Liu Zhongzhou is worried about now is whether there will be a fire in his backyard, which is the fundamental reason why he didn't know what it tasted like at today's dinner.
Now after talking to Jiang Hua and Huang Hongliang on the phone, he already has a clear judgment in his heart: Jiang Hua, Huang Hongliang and Zheng Guorui, although they all have their own problems, but the problems of the three of them still seem to be independent, and there is no possibility of an alliance between these three people.
As long as they don't gang up behind their backs, it's not a big threat to themselves, and it's only a matter of time before they can be defeated individually.
The only person who could bring the three of them together was Xue Chenzhi except himself. From Huang Hongliang's words just now, Liu Zhongzhou ruled out the possibility of Huang Hongliang defecting to Xue Chenzhi.
Huang Hongliang's sales network and Xue Chenzhi's smelter are the two major links on which the Southern Group depends, and the sum of their volume accounts for more than half of the total volume of the Southern Group, and their importance is self-evident.
And Liu Zhongzhou firmly believes that Huang Hongliang and Xue Chenzhi are also very aware of the importance of each other, as long as the two of them have not joined forces to deal with themselves, Liu Zhongzhou is relieved.
As for Jiang Hua, this person does not have important resources in his hands, Liu Zhongzhou himself just treats him as a microphone and a senior follower, some things that are inconvenient for him to say and things that are inconvenient for him to come forward to do, let Jiang Hua come forward to say and do it, the real core problem, Liu Zhongzhou will not tell Jiang Hua.
Liu Zhongzhou knew in his heart that for a person like Jiang Hua, Xue Chenzhi would not mix with him, even if Jiang Hua had this thought, it was estimated that Xue Chenzhi would not look down on him.
The question now is to find out what Zheng Guorui thinks in his heart, and whether there is a close connection between him and Xue Chenzhi, which is the most important thing.
Do you want to call now to test Zheng Guorui's attitude? Liu Zhongzhou can't make up his mind now.
Zheng Guorui is not the same as Jiang Hua and Huang Hongliang, he is a scholar and has a more careful mind, and if he asks inappropriately, it may backfire.
After thinking about it again, Liu Zhongzhou felt that it would be better to find an opportunity to ask Zheng Guorui when talking about related matters in the future.
In addition, judging from past experience, Liu Zhongzhou feels that the possibility of Zheng Guorui and Xue Chenzhi getting together is not impossible, but very small.
Liu Zhongzhou clearly remembers that not long ago, because of the shortage of funds, the idea of transferring funds from the sales company and smelter for the first time was Zheng Guorui. Xue Chenzhi complained about this, if Xue Chenzhi and Zheng Guorui had a close relationship in private, Zheng Guorui should not have come up with such an idea behind Xue Chenzhi's back.
There is another point, although the position of Zheng Guorui, the finance minister, is also very important, but it is not irreplaceable. His main role, in addition to dealing with banks, is the coordination and allocation of funds within the group.
These businesses can be done by another person. If Zheng Guorui has any problems, even if he changes generals on the spot, he will not delay himself too much. At this point, Liu Zhongzhou originally knew it in his heart.
From this point of view, Zheng Guorui is far less important than Huang Hongliang. Huang Hongliang is the general manager of the sales company, and in his hands, there are customer information and sales networks accumulated over the years, which are very important things.
In the living room, Liu Zhongzhou's wife and daughter sat together and watched TV while munching on melon seeds. His wife asked his daughter, "Have you noticed your father, he has been in a state of mind lately, and he has aged a lot, and I asked him what was going on, and he didn't say anything." ”
His daughter thought for a moment and said, "I guess it's a matter of futures." ”
His wife asked, "What's going on in the futures?"
His daughter said, "You forgot, didn't my dad say a long time ago that their company sold a lot of futures copper in the futures market?"
His wife said, "yes, what's wrong?"
His daughter whispered: "I saw on my computer that the price of copper has been skyrocketing recently, and I guess the copper they sold is now losing a lot of money." ”
His wife asked, "Really, how much will you lose?"
His daughter said: "How do I know this, it depends on how much my father and their company sell, and at what price." ”
His wife said anxiously, "How is this good?" When I asked him, he scolded me and told me not to meddle in my business. ”
His daughter threw the melon seed shell in her hand into the trash, patted the crumbs on her hand, and said, "My dad is right, what are you doing with this kind of thing, you can't get to the point." ”
His wife said, "Then you just watch your dad get angry and don't care about him." ”
His daughter said, "I don't know about this, how can I care? Besides, there are so many people in their company, don't worry about it, I'm going to watch a movie." With that, she put on her small satchel, opened the door and went out.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Zhongzhou felt that he was still sure to firmly control these three henchmen, so he went back to consider Li Xin's problem.
At the meeting this afternoon, the bombshell news thrown out by Jiang Hua was actually a very face-damaging thing for Liu Zhongzhou.
This is one of the reasons why Liu Zhongzhou secretly blamed Jiang Hua for having no brains. If Jiang Hua had reported this matter to Liu Zhongzhou earlier, Liu Zhongzhou would never have let the news be made public at such a meeting.
Liu Zhongzhou will be like Li Xin, covering up the news tightly, as long as Li Xin doesn't say it, Liu Zhongzhou will never confide half a word in public, because this result is too much to slap Liu Zhongzhou's face.
Since Liu Zhongzhou threw out this hedging strategy, he has refuted Li Xin's objections in person at several group management meetings, which is public in the eyes of everyone.
Now, when everyone has forgotten the differences between Liu Zhongzhou and Li Xin, Jiang Hua used this news to uncover Liu Zhongzhou's scars. Not only that, Li Xin's profit of 12 million yuan was like a magnifying glass, showing the huge losses caused by Liu Zhongzhou's hedging in front of these executives attending the meeting again.
Although Liu Zhongzhou is confident that he will win back this game in the future, in front of him, such a negative impact is still very damaging to Liu Zhongzhou's image.
At this time, Liu Zhongzhou began to carefully sort out Li Xin in his mind as if he was looking at the three henchmen just now, and he suddenly realized that there was a lack of a heart-to-heart conversation between himself and Li Xin. If this were not the case, the hedging would certainly have turned out much better than it is now.
At the beginning, he promoted Li Xin to the position of assistant to the chairman of the board of directors, just because he wanted him to give him more ideas, but not long after he was promoted, he publicly opposed his plan at the first meeting to discuss hedging.
Because of this, since that meeting, he has almost removed him and disqualified him from participating in management meetings.
However, as copper prices gradually rose, the losses of hedging positions continued to expand, and he had to use Li Xin again.
But even so, before this afternoon's meeting, Li Xin was still a dispensable person in his mind, if he needed to make an idea, he would let him speak, and when he didn't need an idea, he could leave him aside.
To be honest, compared with his three henchmen, Li Xin does not have any resources in his hands that are worth Liu Zhongzhou's scruples, and at this point, Li Xin is not even as good as Jiang Hua, who is the least favored by him.
Jiang Hua also controls the administrative resources of the group, and Jiang Hua is very clear about so many departments and branches within the group from top to bottom, and he is very effective in doing things. But Li Xin, except for saying some nonsensical things, I really don't know what else he can do.
But after today's meeting, Liu Zhongzhou suddenly realized the importance of Li Xin, just like Li Xin can't replace the above people, others can't replace Li Xin.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that Li Xin dares to raise objections on any occasion regardless of time and place is not comparable to Jiang Hua, Huang Hongliang and Zheng Guorui, and even Vice Chairman Xue Chenzhi does not have the courage of Li Xin.
Although Liu Zhongzhou was reluctant in his heart, he now had to admit that he had not made full use of Li Xin's value.
Liu Zhongzhou carefully recalled that since Li Xin was promoted to assistant to the chairman, he and he had no separate in-depth exchanges, and those more in-depth exchanges were all at the meetings of the group's management, and almost every time they communicated, Li Xin's opinions were basically the opposite of his own ideas.
At this point, Li Xin is completely different from his three henchmen. In terms of position, he promoted Li Xin to assistant to the chairman, and it stands to reason that he should have the most opportunities to contact him.
But things are just the opposite, Li Xin will not take the initiative to have extra contact with him except for the indispensable things at work. Jiang Hua, Zheng Guorui and Huang Hongliang will run to their office when they have nothing to do, and they will report early and late, for fear that they will snub them.
Li Xin will not be like this, if he doesn't look for him, or if there is nothing that must be done, Li Xin will not enter his chairman's office.
Especially after the two openly opposed their views on hedging, Li Xin was put aside by himself and placed in a semi-dismissed position, and there was even less communication between the two.
Although Liu Zhongzhou realized that it was necessary for him to talk to Li Xin carefully and make the relationship with Li Xin more harmonious, the current situation made Liu Zhongzhou, who was high above, unable to open his mouth.
