The other party listened and replied: "I don't know about this, but even if there is such data, we can't provide it to outsiders casually, why don't you contact our general manager to take a look?"

This soft nail made Li Xin know that this matter was very difficult to do, and he thought to himself: Even if the original General Manager Qin is still in office, he called him this time, and it is estimated that one or two sentences may not be able to make him remember who he is. Not to mention that the general manager of this company has long been replaced by someone else.

I didn't even have a face-to-face relationship with the new general manager of the other party, so the result of calling the past can be imagined. What's more, what the other party said is right, if it is not a particularly trusting relationship, how can ordinary people casually disclose such sensitive statistics?

Don't say anything else, let's just say that the downstairs of the group is lined up, and he didn't give it to him when he went to ask him about these data today.

If you want to ask for this information from the Guidong Provincial Sugar Corporation, it is estimated that there is no hope.

He put the business card back in the plastic file bag and picked up the business card of General Manager Chen of the Yuexi Provincial Sugar Corporation.

While dialing the number on his business card, he secretly prayed in his heart: I hope this number can also be reached.

The phone was answered immediately, but the other party was a woman: "Who are you?"

Li Xin stubbornly asked: "I'm looking for General Manager Chen of the Provincial Sugar Industry Corporation, is he there?"

"Yes, yes, wait a minute. Immediately afterwards, Li Xin heard the woman on the phone shouting: "Lao Chen, looking for you, come and answer the phone." ”

Li Xin quietly listened to the movement on the phone, and after a few seconds, it seemed that a man came to the woman's side and asked her, "Who is it?"

The woman on the other end of the phone replied, "I don't know, he didn't say, you can't answer it yourself." ”

"Who are you?" asked a man's voice on the phone.

Li Xin heard this sentence and knew that the phone was now in the hands of this man, so he said, "Is it General Manager Chen of the Provincial Sugar Industry Corporation?"

"I am, who are you?"

This time I finally found the right person! The stone in Li Xin's heart finally landed.

"Hello Mr. Chen, I am Xiao Li of the former Jiangnan Provincial Sugar Industry Corporation, and we have met in your company before. ”

"Which Xiao Li?"

"When we accompanied our general manager Wu Bin to visit your company a few years ago, we met, do you still have an impression?" Li Xin explained.

"Oh, I seem to be a little impressed. What's the matter with you?"

"Mr. Chen, that's the case, I called you this time, do you want to know how much the sugarcane planting area in Yuexi Province has been affected by the snow disaster?"

Originally, he was not a grinder, not to mention that he might not really be able to remember who he was when he listened to the meaning of General Manager Chen's words, and continuing to greet him would only help.

After listening to Li Xin's words, General Manager Chen said: "Oh Xiao Li, if you ask me about this matter, I can't answer it, I have been retired for more than a year now, you should call the head office of the sugar industry to ask about these situations, okay?"

"Oh, that's right!" Li Xin's heart was half cold.

"yes, these things are not in my business now, you ask them to go, okay. After saying this, before Li Xin could answer, the other party hung up the phone.

Li Xin listened to a tight disconnection sound on the phone, and put down the phone helplessly: I found three places in a row and ran into walls everywhere, could it be that God doesn't help me?

Without detailed statistics, Li Xin did not dare to act rashly. He thought to himself: It's not in a hurry for a day or two, you might as well wait and see. What's more, if you really want to do sucrose futures, the things on the futures company's side are not completely ready, and there are only a few million yuan left in the futures account, and the funds are obviously not enough.

Thinking of this, he immediately set out to transfer 20 million funds from the stock account and put it into the futures account.

After doing all this, Li Xin suddenly remembered that when he went to look for Lin Li just now, he only paid attention to asking about the situation of sugarcane affected by the snow disaster, but forgot to ask about the purchase of sugarcane branch this year. Because of the understanding of the purchase of sugar branches this year, it can also be inferred how they judge the future trend of sugar prices.

But when he thought of Lin Li's cold appearance just now, Li Xin really didn't have the heart to go to him to ask about the situation again, otherwise it would make Lin Li feel as if he had to rush to beg him.

But if you don't inquire from Lin Li, you can only find another person, and that is Ma Tianming.

But for this person, Li Xin couldn't say that she had any strange feelings, and she always felt awkward to be with him. So over the years, unless there is something particularly important that has to go to him, Li Xin has never been in his office.

Perhaps, as the old saying goes, feng shui takes turns, and everyone has a time to ask for help. Li Xin is now in this situation, thinking about going long in the sugar market, but there is no definite data in his hand, and he can't understand what he needs after looking for many places.

Li Xin grabbed the cigarette and lighter on the table, locked the office door, and went downstairs to find Ma Tianming.

Ma Tianming's office was at the end of the corridor, the door was open, Li Xin knocked three times on the door with his finger, and a sound of "please come in" came from inside.

After hearing the response, Li Xin pushed open the hidden door and walked in.

Ma Tianming's office is the same office when Wu Bin was the general manager, and the interior decoration and layout basically follow the pattern of Wu Bin's time, but there are some changes in the filing cabinet and personal belongings on the desk.

After all these years, and now he walked into this office again because he wanted to invest in sugar futures, Li Xin had a feeling that he had gone back in time for a while.

A few years ago, when the sugar company had not yet been merged by the Southern Group, the scenes of his dealings with Wu Bin and Tang Jianhua flashed in his mind like a slide in an instant.

Ma Tianming was sitting on the chair drinking tea, and when he saw Li Xin coming in, he immediately put down the teacup, stood up and greeted: "Yo, Li Xin, you are a rare guest, please take a seat, please take a seat." ”

Li Xin was also worried about whether Ma Tianming would give him a cold face like Lin Li, and seeing him greet him with a smile at this moment, the worry in his heart was immediately dispelled. He smiled and said: "Mr. Ma, look at what you said, what kind of rare guest am I, let's go upstairs and downstairs, just raise your legs and come over." As he spoke, he took out the cigarette in his pocket, took out one and handed it to Ma Tianming.

Ma Tianming took the cigarette and took out the lighter, Li Xin hadn't taken out the second cigarette yet, so he put the yellow lighter in his hand on fire and brought it to Li Xin with a "ding".

Li Xin hurriedly took out a cigarette, put the cigarette butt on the red flame and lit it, and then sat down on the leather sofa opposite Ma Tianming, and then asked, "Mr. Ma, what are you busy with?"

Ma Tianming also lit the cigarette in his hand, and then said, "I'm not busy with anything, I'm thinking about a business trip after the holiday." ”

Although as Li Xin said just now, his office and Ma Tianming's office are upstairs and downstairs, and the straight-line distance is only a few tens of meters, but the two rarely move around, and they still seem to be very different from each other.

Now that he came to Ma Tianming's office coldly, Li Xin was struggling with how to ask what he wanted to know. Let's ask straight to the point, he was worried that like he was in Lin Li's office just now, the other party would be alert when he heard it, and he couldn't ask anything.

But if you don't talk about this topic all the time, and don't say that this way of doing things is not in line with Li Xin's character, let's just say that there is such a relationship between the two, where can you find so many topics to greet? If you really talk awkwardly without a word, wouldn't the more you talk, the more embarrassing it becomes?

Now, as soon as Ma Tianming opened his mouth, he talked about the business trip after the holiday. What can he do when he goes on a business trip? Isn't it just to sell cane sugar outside the province?

So Li Xin followed his topic and asked, "How is the sales situation of cane sugar this year?"

Ma Tianming said: "It is estimated that it will be a little better than last year. ”

"Oh, yes? Why?"

"I guess the snow disaster has had some impact on the production of cane sugar. ”

"That's right. However, the impact should be more than a little bit, the snow disaster that has not been encountered in more than 10 or 20 years, I see that the frost and snow cover in various parts of the south are still very serious. ”

"Here's the difficulty, there are no detailed statistics yet, and the damage cannot be accurately assessed. ”

"Aren't there any statistics from the Sugar Association?" Li Xin asked.

"Not yet. There is no such situation in last month's data, and this month's data will not be available until the end of the month, and now everyone is doing things according to their feelings. Ma Tianming said.

After listening to Ma Tianming's words, Li Xin realized that Lin Li was not deliberately embarrassing himself just now, otherwise, if he had these data, Ma Tianming would not have known about it.

"Did the sugar branch take the opportunity to stock up on more goods this year?"

"Compared with the same period last year, that is, the year before the year, I seized the time to buy a little more goods, but the increase is not too much, to be honest, I can't see it. When Ma Tianming took over the sugar company in his first year, he was ambitious to make a big vote, but that vote almost made him lose all his money.

After that lesson, he didn't dare to venture again.

In addition, he is completely incomparable to the situation at that time, when he was the general manager, and everything was decided by him. But now, he is at most the manager of a very inconspicuous branch under the Southern Group.

Moreover, the business operated by this branch is not the main business of the Southern Group, and the chairman of the group for two consecutive terms has regarded his branch as a piece of chicken ribs, but it is a pity that the branch itself has no source of profit, and these dozens of people in the company have to rely on the non-ferrous metal business allocation of the Southern Group to raise.
