Recently, Huang Hongliang himself felt that his performance was not good, and he missed such a good sales momentum, which was also a mistake anyway, and he was always worried that Liu Zhongzhou would find trouble for himself because of this.

In the past, if it was like this, if the good opportunity to send it to the door could not be seized, Liu Zhongzhou would definitely not be spared.

So at such a critical moment, Liu Zhongzhou suddenly held a meeting, which made Huang Hongliang very worried. So he went upstairs to find Xue Chenzhi as soon as possible, wanting to find out the news from Xue Chenzhi.

Xue Chenzhi was watching a movie on the computer in his office at this time.

Every time he came to the group headquarters to finish his errands, he felt that he had nothing to do, not as comfortable as he was in his own office in the smelter, and he always had a strange feeling.

Huang Hongliang came to the door of Xue Chenzhi's office, and when he saw Xue Chenzhi looking at the computer screen intently, he knocked on the door twice.

Xue Chenzhi raised his eyes when he heard the movement, and said, "It's Lao Huang, come in." ”

Huang Hongliang smiled and said, "Vice President Xue, what are you busy with, don't bother you?"

Xue Chenzhi turned off the movie that he was watching with relish and said, "It's okay, it's boring." Do you have something?"

Huang Hongliang said: "It's nothing, just talk about it." ”

As soon as Xue Chenzhi heard it, he knew that Huang Hongliang was not telling the truth.

The door of his office was open, but after Huang Hongliang came in, the first thing he did was to reflexively close the door.

Xue Chenzhi didn't break him, picked up the cigarette next to the computer, took out one, threw it to Huang Hongliang across the wide desk, and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Huang Hongliang stretched out his hand to catch the cigarette thrown by Xue Chenzhi, took out the lighter, lit the fire with a "ding", leaned in front of Xue Chenzhi and lit it for him, and then returned to the desk and sat down, lit it himself, and smoked it.

Xue Chenzhi smoked a cigarette and didn't speak, just looked at Huang Hongliang with a slightly inquiring gaze.

Huang Hongliang looked at this situation and knew that Xue Chenzhi was waiting for him to speak, so he didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Vice President Xue, what do you think is the purpose of the chairman holding this meeting today?"

Xue Chenzhi didn't expect Huang Hongliang to ask this, and he was a little uncertain about this question, but he didn't take it seriously at all. At this time, seeing that Huang Hongliang was so concerned about this matter, it seemed that he had some thoughts in his heart.

So Xue Chenzhi said: "I didn't hear him beforehand, so I don't know very well." What, do you think there's anything wrong?"

Huang Hongliang said: "No, I'm just guessing." ”

Xue Chenzhi saw that Huang Hongliang had something to say, and he said, "With me, you still have something to hide?" ”

Huang Hongliang then expressed his worries: "I mean, will the chairman use the price increase to talk about sales?"

Xue Chenzhi asked puzzledly: "What do you mean by talking about sales, I didn't understand." ”

Huang Hongliang said: "I mean, will the chairman hold us accountable for selling too fast, and there is no goods to sell in the past week, and we have not made enough profits?"

Xue Chenzhi said disapprerovingly: "I don't think so, right? Who would have thought that the price would rise so fast? We didn't expect it, didn't he think of it? You didn't see the losses on the futures, we still made money in sales." If he says that we didn't make the profit we should have, how should we calculate the loss in futures?"

Huang Hongliang rubbed his forehead and said in embarrassment: "That's the truth, but a person has two skins on his mouth, who knows what he will say? Besides, those losses on futures are not convenient to mention in front of him, isn't it?"

Xue Chenzhi said: "Hey, don't worry about it, I guess he doesn't have the heart to care about these things." If he thinks we shouldn't have sold it at the time, why don't you come out and say something? If he stops us from selling, do you dare not listen to him?"

Huang Hongliang thought for a while and said: "It's also Ha, if he thinks we shouldn't sell, it means that he thinks the price will continue to rise." In that case, the 20,000 tons of futures he sold should not be kept!"

Xue Chenzhi said: "That's right, I worry about the futures in his hand, how can you say he has the heart to talk about us?"

Huang Hongliang suddenly gave Xue Chenzhi a thumbs up and said, "Vice President Xue, it's still your cow!"

More than ten minutes before the start of the meeting, Li Xin came to the small conference room in advance, and then other participants also entered the venue one after another.

It can be seen that the predicament that the group is facing now makes everyone very nervous, and what is the topic of Liu Zhongzhou's meeting at this time, everyone is speculating, but they don't know the essentials. But what is certain is that at this time, there must be something big going on.

It was also rare for Liu Zhongzhou to enter the venue a few minutes earlier than the expected time of the meeting, and sat down in the middle early.

In half a month, Liu Zhongzhou was obviously haggard a lot, his eye sockets were deep, his eye circles were dark, he looked like he was sleep-deprived, and the nasolabial folds on his face became more and more obvious.

In Li Xin's impression, except for the meeting where Liu Zhongzhou proposed to do hedging, Liu Zhongzhou arrived at the venue earlier than everyone else, and at other times, Liu Zhongzhou waited for the participants to arrive and wait for the secretary to call him before he entered the venue.

Waiting for the subordinates at the venue in advance, this is very rare for Liu Zhongzhou, it is estimated that Liu Zhongzhou really has important things to discuss with everyone today, otherwise he would not be like this, Li Xin thought to himself.

Li Xin quietly glanced at the venue, and saw that the people who should have attended the meeting had already arrived, and in this eventful autumn, everyone was careful to avoid provoking Liu Zhongzhou, saving him from catching the topic and playing the topic, which became his punching bag.

Liu Zhongzhou looked around the venue, cleared his throat, and began his speech unhurriedly: "During this period of time, the price of copper rose rapidly, which was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, in this process, we encountered some difficulties, but at the same time, we have also made a lot of achievements, smelters and sales companies have done a good job, and we want to praise them here." ”

Xue Chenzhi and Huang Hongliang were very surprised after listening to Liu Zhongzhou's opening remarks, and they muttered in their hearts: Is Liu Zhongzhou's meeting today to praise the smelter and sales company?

To be honest, Xue Chenzhi and Huang Hongliang really didn't feel that they had done a good job in the process of rising prices, and they deserved to be praised by Liu Zhongzhou at the meeting.

The goods in their hands were basically sold out a week ago, and when the price was at its best in the last week, they actually didn't seize the opportunity at all, and missed out on a lot of profits that they should have gotten.

Liu Zhongzhou should be clear about these situations.

At the beginning, when they heard Liu Zhongzhou say that they had encountered difficulties, they thought that they were also included in the difficulties that Liu Zhongzhou said, but then Liu Zhongzhou's words changed, and they suddenly put them on the table of praise, such a quick change, so that they couldn't react for a while.

The meeting between Xue Chenzhi and Huang Hongliang before the meeting, although he dispelled Liu Zhongzhou's concern that Liu Zhongzhou would criticize the smelter and sales company at the meeting, did not expect Liu Zhongzhou to praise himself at all.

The two of them have even thought of some words in their hearts to deal with this, so that they can use these words to shirk their responsibilities when they have no choice.

But after listening to Liu Zhongzhou's praise words, they were very surprised, and they couldn't guess what kind of medicine Liu Zhongzhou was selling in the gourd for a while?

Xue Chenzhi and Huang Hongliang secretly exchanged puzzled looks, then looked at Liu Zhongzhou's expression, and each thought in their hearts: In this way, the difficulties that Liu Zhongzhou said should still refer to futures matters, and have nothing to do with themselves.

Thinking like this, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after the stone in Xue Chenzhi and Huang Hongliang's hearts just landed, Liu Zhongzhou's topic quietly changed and came to the key part of today's meeting.

"As we all know, due to the rapid rise in copper prices, there is a shortage of funds available in futures accounts for hedging, and to keep these positions, you have to invest some more money," he said. On this issue, it is hoped that the smelter and the sales company will proceed from the overall situation and vigorously support the group's hedging plan in terms of funds, which is a major event related to the group's operating performance in the second half of the year. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zhongzhou turned his head to Xue Chenzhi and Huang Hongliang, who were sitting on his left and right hands, and said, "How is it? Vice President Xue, Lao Huang, tell me your opinion." ”

Xue Chenzhi and Huang Hongliang reacted at this time, Liu Zhongzhou put himself in the position of being praised as soon as he started, it turned out that he wanted to recover funds from his own hands!

Damn! I said that he wouldn't elevate others for no reason, and I almost fell for him.

Huang Hongliang was reluctant in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it directly, so he had to look at Xue Chenzhi and want to hear his opinion. Xue Chenzhi is the vice chairman, and before he expressed his position, his casual nonsense would probably put him in a very embarrassing situation.

As soon as Xue Chenzhi heard Liu Zhongzhou's idea, his heart was a little angry, and he thought to himself: From the very beginning, you have transferred funds from us to make futures, and now you have come to ask for funds! You have transferred all the funds, what should you do with production and sales? Now that these two major businesses are still making money, what do you think?

So he said: "The smelter's capital is also very tight now, and the copper price is relatively good, so it is right to step up production. ”

Huang Hongliang heard Xue Chenzhi's words, and hurriedly said: "Vice President Xue is right, our sales company is the same, now the copper price is better, we should speed up the capital turnover, and make more money, otherwise it would be a pity to miss it." ”

Huang Hongliang's words, he wanted to say them just now when he heard that Liu Zhongzhou wanted to transfer funds back from him, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help it again.
