Chapter 54: Midnight Terror

When the trading volume of sugar futures is sluggish, their respective advantageous rubber and non-ferrous metal futures varieties can also bring good returns, which makes their situation much better than that of the Jiangnan Commodity Exchange.

And this advantage allows them to have more resources to expand the market, especially in the sucrose futures varieties that everyone attaches great importance to.

There are already signs that they are competing for sugar mill customers in the province, and there are also moves to set up trading outlets in several key areas.

All these have brought great pressure to the Jiangnan Commodity Exchange, if they take advantage of the market downturn to attract customers in the province with lower transaction fees, the move to encroach on the provincial market, when the market is good in the future, the big cake will be taken away by others.

Zhang Jin's words from the general manager of the exchange made Zhang Jin feel very sympathetic, compared with a few months ago, his office was too deserted.

This kind of desertion does not mean that there are fewer customers, but that the market has not been very good for a period of time, the price has been consolidating at a low level, and everyone can not see the long-term price trend clearly, and if you run short-term, the price fluctuations in the day are not large, you can not see the profit space, and customers are not willing to place orders, everyone is waiting and seeing.

In this way, the number of daily transactions is very small, and the performance pressure here is highlighted.

The futures brokerage business is like this, the most feared thing is that there is no price fluctuation, and the most favorite thing to see is the sharp rise and fall.

As long as there is a market, whether it is up or down, the greater the price fluctuation, the more customer trading volume will be, and the fee income will naturally go up.

But now this sluggish consolidation market, tepid, is too abrasive, and I hope the current situation does not last too long.

It is said that the price of sugar has been hovering in this position for so long and has not been able to rise, and it is very likely that it will break down.

In fact, whether it is up or down, everything will be easy to break out of the market as soon as possible.

Among these customers in his hands, Li Xin's position is the largest, but his trading frequency is very low, and he will generally hold a position for a long time after opening a position.

At noon, the customers went back, and there were only a few staff members in the office, Zhang Jin took advantage of this time to have a small meeting, and he asked Wang Hong: "How is the capital situation in Li Xin's account, and what is the floating loss now?"

Wang Hong said: "The floating loss was 450,000 yuan at the peak, and now it is more than 270,000 yuan. ”

Zhang Jin said: "Keep an eye on it, if the floating loss is too big, notify him in time, don't blow up!"

Wang Hong said, "Okay. ”

Zhang Jin said: "I haven't seen him come to the exchange recently, but I only occasionally call to ask about the price, which is a bit abnormal." ”

Wang Hong also said worriedly: "Yes, he has more than 600 lots, and they are all in the most inactive far month contract, so he is too bold!"

Zhang Jin said: "I think that if this kind of consolidation continues, the price is likely to break down, and if that is really the case, his position is so large, and the loss will expand very quickly." If you do the settlement, you should keep an eye on it and notify him in time to remind him to reduce his position. In a word, we can't affect the total capital safety of our trading seat because of his liquidation. ”

Wang Hong nodded: "Okay." ”

He asked, "What about the other customers, and are there any of them that are more risky?"

Wang Hong looked at the report in his hand and said, "Everything else is fine, the funds are not large, and there are not many orders recently." ”

When he heard this, he said to everyone about the situation: "This is another problem I want to talk about next, now the market is sluggish, the trading volume cannot go up, and the fee income is not good." We still run more and strive to pull more customers, which is related to everyone's vital interests. ”

For example, he said: "Institutional customers such as sugar mills, wholesalers, and trading companies are the focus, and they have a large amount of capital, and one can top up several individual customers. The internal incentive policies are still those, and everyone knows that everyone has a commission on the transaction fees generated by the customers they bring. ”

Wang Hong said worriedly: "There are only four of us here, and I am afraid that we will not be able to leave if we go to other places to contact the sugar factory." ”

Zhang Jin said: "This is also true, but you can contact it by phone, if the sugar factory has the intention after telephone communication, you can draw someone down to talk to them in detail." After all, the exchange is here, and they really want to open an account here in the future and invest a sum of money to trade here, so it is impossible not to come up and inspect it on the spot. ”

Wang Hong said: "There are dozens of sugar factories in the province, and the current account opening on the exchange is only a single digit, and there is still room for effort, but we have no contact with the sugar factory in the past, and there is no contact number. ”

Someone interjected: "I think I can ask Li Xin, maybe he can help find a way." Li Xin is a bit mysterious, other individual customers stay in the exchange during trading hours, but Li Xin is different, he usually doesn't come to the exchange, but every time he comes to make an order, he seems to be very sure, he leaves after placing an order, I think he is probably related to the sugar factory, or is very familiar with the sugar factory. ”

Zhang Jin said: "I also have the feeling you said, he never said which unit he belongs to, and we don't want to ask." I remembered, in addition to his mobile phone number, he also left a landline phone, I called this number, listening to the people around me talking like they were in the office, this should be the phone number of his office, or let's call and ask, don't you know what unit he is?"

Wang Hong said: "Why don't you see him when you see him and ask him directly, call him in his office and ask about this, if he knows, he will be embarrassed." ”

Zhang Jin said: "We don't say that we are looking for him, nor do we say where we are, how will he know?"

Wang Hong said: "Now many landline phones have caller ID function, if he sees the phone number, won't he know?"

The man who spoke just now said, "It's simple, just go to the public phone booth and call it." ”

Wang Hong smiled and said, "Your brain is spinning too fast, how do I feel like I'm doing underground work!"

Zhang Jin waved his hand and said, "It's not that serious, we don't have any malicious intent, I'll find a way to ask another day." ”

In the administrative office of the sugar company, Xia Xiaona is sitting at her desk sorting out materials.

She looked up at the other side, Li Xin's desk was empty, and it had been a long time since he had been sent to the Wonsan Station office to deliver the goods.

Li Xin has been in the same office with her since she arrived at the company, and the two have been sitting opposite each other for more than three years.

It turned out that when Li Xin was there, the two chatted very well, and they were more in love with each other.

Li Xin has not been in the office for a long time, and Xia Xiaona can't say that she seems to be missing something, and she is very unaccustomed to it.

Xia Xiaona felt that although Li Xin had been working for several years, she still had a strong student atmosphere, and she spoke and acted politely, but she was not the kind of scholar who was crepe.

Anyway, he is not like many young people in the company who do business, not long after he came out of school, he learned to be a habit in society, and he spoke and acted in the image of an old boy, and often made some vulgar jokes.

This kind of person seems to be very masculine and responsible at first glance, but in fact, it is all lip service, some sleek, profit-seeking and disadvantage-avoiding people, who run faster than anyone else when they encounter things.

Li Xin is different, he lacks a lot of tactfulness that he should have in the workplace, but he does not lack courage and responsibility.

Especially when he has very mature opinions and suggestions, for the sake of the company's interests, he will express his opinions without considering other consequences.

Although Li Xin's opinion has been proved to be right many times, his way of doing things makes Xia Xiaona often sweat for him, worried that his temper and personality will suffer in a state-owned enterprise with extremely complex personnel relations.

And the situation over this period of time shows that her fears are justified.

Let's take the fact that Li Xin was sent to the Yuanshan Station office to deliver the goods this time, including many people in the sales branch of the sugar cane branch.

Xia Xiaona may be the person in the company who knows Li Xin's ability best besides the original general manager Wu Bin.

His strength is not in selling a few truckloads of cane sugar and shipping a few truckloads of cane sugar, but in the collection and analysis of market information, in this regard he can often put forward some very pertinent opinions and suggestions.

The reason why Xia Xiaona can see this is because part of the work she does is also the collection and collation of information, which is similar to Li Xin's work, and she knows how rare it is to be able to draw those opinions and suggestions from this information.

If the company could give full play to his strengths, it would have been able to bring a lot of benefits to the company's operation, but now he was sent to the Wonsan Station office to deliver the goods, I really don't know what the company's leaders think.

Someone in the company said in private that Li Xin was doing sucrose futures, Xia Xiaona didn't know if it was true or not, maybe there was such a possibility.

He often goes to the Jiangnan Commodity Exchange to understand the price trend, even if it is not a big deal to do futures, and there is no rule that he can't do futures, not to mention that Li Xin uses his own money.

Is it because of this that you will send him to a foreign country punitively? This is too!

Xia Xiaona doesn't know much about futures, but she knows that this thing is very complicated, and if she doesn't have a physical examination and actual operation experience, it is estimated that it will be difficult to draw a more reliable opinion from the complex market.

Li Xin can see so accurately, if he has no practical experience, he can't do it at all.

How come these leaders in the company only see him doing futures business in private, but they can't see that his experience can bring greater benefits?

Alas, they can't even tell which is more important, watermelon and sesame seeds, and it's no wonder that the company has come this far.
