Jiang Hua saw that Liu Zhongzhou wanted to speak just now, and then he was silent, not knowing what Liu Zhongzhou was thinking in his heart, so he asked cautiously: "Chairman, ......what do you think about this matter?"

Liu Zhongzhou said: "There is no urgency in this matter, before the official document is issued, let's maintain the status quo." ”

When Jiang Hua heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised: What's wrong with the chairman today, why is he so tolerant of Li Xin today when he never rubs sand in his eyes?

Jiang Hua, who is good at observing words and feelings, can see that what he said just now still made Liu Zhongzhou a little angry. But just when he was secretly proud that his plan was about to succeed, Liu Zhongzhou's expression instantly became suspicious, and after a moment of silence, how could he give such an answer that was completely unexpected?

He really couldn't guess what Liu Zhongzhou was thinking in his heart in those dozens of seconds just now.

While lamenting that Liu Zhongzhou was changeable and difficult to fathom, Jiang Hua felt a pity for his plan that fell short.

But Liu Zhongzhou had already made a decision, Jiang Hua didn't dare to say anything more, he agreed to leave Liu Zhongzhou's office with a smile on his face. Along the way, he was secretly glad that he didn't say anything else, although he didn't achieve the goal of bringing down Li Xin, but he didn't let Liu Zhongzhou see his thoughts.

Jiang Hua, who doesn't understand business, can't understand why Liu Zhongzhou is uncharacteristically open to Li Xin, but now this problem is very easy to explain in the eyes of Finance Minister Zheng Guorui.

As he learned more and more about futures, Zheng Guorui knew that no matter whether Liu Zhongzhou was willing to admit it or not, he would be inseparable from Li Xin in the futures business in the future.

Zheng Guorui sat at the computer, looking at the statement sent by the exchange, his brows were tightly locked, and his mood became heavier and heavier day by day.

The information on these two statements shows that the total amount of available funds in the group's futures account is still more than 9 million yuan. At first glance, this may seem like a lot of money, but it is nothing compared to the amount of money taken up in the position.

A total of 10,000 tons of copper were sold in the group's two futures accounts, and if the futures price rises by another 900 yuan, these positions will explode!

This is not unfounded, looking at the current momentum of futures prices, it is estimated that it will not be able to stop for a while. If it really continues to rise, the space of these hundreds of yuan will only be a matter of three or four days, which makes Zheng Guorui a little big when he thinks about it.

Now when Zheng Guorui goes to Liu Zhongzhou every day to report the funds and price trends in the futures account, he has less and less to say. At the same time, Zheng Guorui also felt that Liu Zhongzhou asked less and less, and basically didn't ask anything after listening, only saying "I know".

Zheng Guorui didn't know what Liu Zhongzhou thought about the current floating loss of more than 12 million in the futures account, he knew that Liu Zhongzhou was not feeling good, anyway, he himself was often thinking in his heart now, if he had listened to Li Xin's advice not to sell and open a position, there would not have been such a big loss in front of him. Even if you have to sell and open a position, postpone the timing of opening a position for a few days, and do it now, the holding cost will be reduced by more than 12 million.

But now there is no regret medicine, and it is useless to feel uncomfortable, and the important thing is to think of countermeasures quickly.

But what to do about this matter, Liu Zhongzhou has not spoken, and Zheng Guorui has not dared to ask more. What he has to do now is to truthfully report these situations to Liu Zhongzhou as soon as possible every day, so as not to be blamed by Liu Zhongzhou for his negligence.

The rise in futures prices also made Liu Zhongzhou's heart a little blocked.

He knew the situation of the funds on the books clearly, and he had already made a plan in his heart for this thorny problem, but he had not mentioned it to anyone yet. Because in his opinion, with this preparation, he can completely deal with almost all the problems that may arise in the future.

So, he can put aside the long-term plan for the second half of the year for the time being, and the problem he has to solve now is the adjustment of the sales price.

He had intended to raise the price a few days ago, but the news of the sale of copper reserves made him discourage the idea of raising the price.

He originally estimated that after this news came out, the sales price in the market would fall accordingly. In that case, there will be no basis for raising the sales price, and as long as the current selling price remains unchanged, it will be able to take into account the immediate benefits. So he immediately focused all his attention on hedging production in the second half of the year, and he wanted to seize the long-term benefits of the second half of the year by selling off the copper reserves.

Now that the hedging position has been established, the selling price, which he expects to fall sharply, has not moved.

Not only did the sales price in the market not fall, but the futures price that had been knocked down by the news of the sell-off by a few hundred yuan has risen back in the past few days, and it has risen even higher than before, which really caught him off guard.

Seeing that the sales prices of other manufacturers have been raised, there is no reason for the Southern Group's prices to be lower than theirs. For the sake of immediate interests, it is imperative to raise prices, but the question now is that raising the sales price will inevitably affect the futures price, and how much is the appropriate increase?

Although Liu Zhongzhou has repeatedly reminded himself that the immediate interests and the long-term interests in half a year are two different things, and they must be strictly distinguished and treated with different ideas. But in his subconscious, these two things he thought were unrelated to each other were still secretly entangled, making him uneasy.

In order to solve this problem, he thought about it again and again, and specially brought Huang Hongliang over, and in his office, he held a telephone conference with Xue Chenzhi, who was far away in the smelter: "Vice President Xue, on the issue of raising the sales price, Lao Huang and the three of us will have a conference call here to discuss, so that you can save you from running hundreds of kilometers back and forth." How much more do you think the price increase for this issue is appropriate?"

On this issue, Liu Zhongzhou relied on Xue Chenzhi and Huang Hongliang the most, who were the top leaders of the smelter and the sales company respectively, and had the most say in the sales price in the market.

Xue Chenzhi, who doesn't care about futures prices but knows the sales situation in the market very well, said on the phone: "Judging from the current situation, at least 1,000 yuan per ton has to be raised." ”

Xue Chenzhi's opinion was similar to Liu Zhongzhou's expectation, and his own estimate was between 800 yuan and 1,000 yuan. So he asked Huang Hongliang, who was sitting next to him: "Lao Huang, what do you think of the increase of 1,000 yuan per ton?"

With a selling position in his hand, Huang Hongliang, who has already lost more than 200,000 yuan, can't stay out of the matter like Xue Chenzhi at all, listening to Liu Zhongzhou and Xue Chenzhi's words, his mood is extremely complicated.

Huang Hongliang understands the market like Xue Chenzhi, and the increase of 1,000 yuan is neither low nor high.

Although he does not know much about the relationship between futures prices and market selling prices, he vaguely feels that this move to raise market prices will definitely promote the rise of futures prices.

He can't care about whether the futures price will fall in the second half of the year, and he is most concerned about whether it will continue to rise tomorrow!

Because today he has received a risk alert from the futures company on the trading software, reminding him to pay attention to the risk of rising prices, and if the price continues to rise, he will either add funds immediately or reduce his position immediately.

It seems impossible to find funds, and if it continues to rise tomorrow, it can only reduce positions.

Liu Zhongzhou saw that Huang Hongliang frowned and remained silent, and asked again: "Lao Huang, do you agree to raise the price by 1,000 yuan? What do you think?"

After listening to Liu Zhongzhou's question, Huang Hongliang came back from his contemplation and hurriedly replied: "Okay, just raise it by 1,000 yuan!"

Liu Zhongzhou looked at Huang Hongliang's unruly appearance, and wanted to say a few words to him, but his own heart was also a mess, and he didn't have the time to take care of other things, so he dispelled the idea of reprimanding Huang Hongliang and said: "Then this price adjustment plan is decided, and you notify your respective customers according to this standard." ”

After Huang Hongliang went out, Liu Zhongzhou's heart was also mixed: the price adjustment plan just made, how good it would be if the price was lowered, but it was the most unwilling to see the increase, alas!

When he went to work in the afternoon, Li Xin just arrived at the office for a while, and Gao Hui came in: "Assistant Li, what are you busy with?"

Li Xin said: "It's not just to look at the market and check the information. He picked up the cigarette on the table, took out one and threw it to Gao Hui, and said, "It's rare for you to come up and sit, is there something wrong?"

Gao Hui took the cigarette, walked to the sofa and sat down, and said, "It's okay, I'm just looking for you to talk." ”

Li Xin said: "Haven't you been busy these two days? ”

Gao Hui said: "There is always time to chat for a busy day. ”

Li Xin asked: "How is the recent sales situation on your side, and has the price changed?"

Gao Hui said: "The sales situation has always been very good, why, you don't know about the price increase today?"

Li Xin was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know, when did it happen?"

Gao Hui said: "It was this morning that Mr. Huang notified. ”

Li Xin said: "Oh, I went out in the morning, I didn't hear about it, how much did it increase this time?"

Gao Hui said: "It was raised by 1,000 yuan per ton. ”

Li Xin said: "It's not much, right?" This news is good for him, although it is only a regional price change, but it still makes him feel very comfortable.

Gao Hui said: "Has the futures price risen again today?

Li Xin said: "In fact, it didn't go up much today, just a few dozen yuan, and it rose a lot a few days ago." ”

Gao Hui said: "I know that it rose a few days ago, and I guess this is one of the reasons why the group raised the price this time." ”

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "I think so." ”

As Gao Hui said, the futures price has risen higher than before the news of the sale of copper reserves, and it is about to break through the all-time high price set not long ago, in this case, the increase in the sales price is only a matter of time.

What Li Xin wants to know is that he has an empty order of 10,000 tons in his hand, but he has to raise his shipping price, what is Liu Zhongzhou's plan in his heart at this time?
