Suddenly, a sharp pain in his hand interrupted his musings, and the cigarette butt burned to his hand.

With trembling hands, he jumped up from his seat, stepped on the cigarette butt that had fallen to the ground with his foot, and kept rubbing his reddened fingers with his hand.

Damn, nothing has been going well lately!

The market in the northwest can't wait, it must go there immediately.

He rubbed his fingers, picked up the phone, called the assistant in, and said, "You immediately book me three tickets to X City, preferably tomorrow, if not, the day after tomorrow, let me know as soon as there is a result." ”

The current sales situation no longer allows him to be optimistic, and the price expectation in his heart for the second half of the year has also dropped a lot.

In the dead of night, he stayed up all night in bed, and even secretly regretted that he didn't listen to Wu Bin's advice to sell sugar a week ago.

It would have been easy to sell all the inventory to other customers at that time, and with the current situation, it would not be difficult to buy it back at this time. In this way, between one in and one out, how much cost can be reduced!

After Lin Li came out of Tang Jianhua's office, he went to the company's internal office to get a few business cigarettes, and then went to the finance office to advance the business trip expenses, and then went back to his desk, took the customer's business card book and work notes, and after collecting these materials, he went home to prepare for tomorrow's business trip.

Along the way, Lin Li was thinking: the time for this business trip is not short, in the past, I went out for two or three months at a time, but this time it will take at least half a year.

This year, the company has so much sugar in its hands, and most of it is still in the province, but the price is already like this, even if it is transported to the sales area, the price there is higher, but counting all kinds of expenses, it is still a ton of sales and a loss of a ton.

Tang Jianhua is still optimistic about the price in the future, and believes that the price of sugar will improve in the second half of the year, and he will not be allowed to ship a large number of goods now.

If it is really as he expected, the price of sugar will rise again in the second half of the year, of course, it will be the best, but what if it can't rise?

Even if it doesn't continue to fall on the current basis, how much will the storage fee be lost when so much sugar is stored in the warehouse for several months?

What if prices continue to fall on the current basis? It seems that this year is a bit of a sad time.

With such a good situation this year, how can it be said that it has changed?

In the beginning, it was quite difficult to buy sugar, begging people everywhere in the sugar factory, and it took much more effort than in previous years to get the supply. I thought that the bitterness was sweet, the relationship between supply and demand was tight, and it was difficult to buy sugar, but it would be much easier to sell sugar, and the profits would be much higher than in previous years.

Unexpectedly, there were unforeseen circumstances, and the good days of rising sugar prices had not passed for a few days, and they began to plummet in a blink of an eye, and there were fewer customers buying sugar now than in previous years. I'm afraid it's even harder to go out and sell sugar this time than when I bought sugar!

Lin Li sighed, not daring to think about it.

As a front-line sales manager, he has also accumulated considerable market experience in recent years. The depressed scene in front of him, which he had never seen before, made him no longer believe Tang Jianhua's judgment, but in front of Tang Jianhua, he didn't dare to say what he really thought.

Tang Jianhua promised bonuses and vehicles, he didn't count on it either. Those are all based on the premise of the company's huge profitability this year, but now, it would be good to sell the goods in hand at cost price.

Just like Tang Jianhua, Yao Li was also overwhelmed by the price of sugar, which had never happened to her as a financial manager. Now when she thinks about the price of sugar, she feels a headache and fidgets.

Yesterday, the director of the credit department and his entourage took the initiative to come to the door and asked in detail about the use of loans and the sales of sucrose so far.

After listening to the brief introduction, their worries were beyond words, and they made it clear that they would send additional personnel to pay close attention to the company's cane sugar delivery and sales collection.

Yao Li is not stupid, she knows exactly what the bank's actions mean. At present, the company's cane sugar has to be shipped to other provinces in large quantities, and in the future, it is indispensable to come forward and explain to the bank.

Alas, it's only been a long time, and I can't see a good face in front of the bank staff.

But it's no wonder that the loan I got from the bank at the end of last year, the loan term is one year, and by now, nearly half of the time has passed, but the profit is not to say half of the expected amount, according to the current price, the profit amount is smaller than zero, which is a huge negative value!

I can't even sleep when I think about this every day, and it would be strange if the people at the bank weren't worried.

The things at work made her exhausted, and the things at home didn't make her worry, her husband was a chronic child, grinding and grinding, and the three awes couldn't bleed, and she couldn't talk to him if she had something in her heart.

Like a trapped beast in a cage, after going back and forth in her office a few times, she felt panicked and wanted to talk to someone, so she went out and walked down the corridor, and saw the door of Yu Shuhua's office open, so she went in.

"Manager Yu. Yao Li greeted with a smile on her face.

Yu Shuhua is worried about the sale of sucrose, the main business of her branch is industrial alcohol sales, and she used to do a little sucrose sales business, but the scale is not large, and she relies on the relationship established with the sugar factory for many years to do alcohol sales, and gets some sucrose from the sugar factory, and sells it to foreign customers who come to buy sugar in the province. This eliminates the need for warehousing and rail transportation, and eliminates the need to go to other places to establish a sales network.

But it is precisely because of this that this business does not have perfect sales channels and a stable market, and it has not been big.

This year, in addition to the alcohol business, which has maintained its original scale, the sugar sales business has expanded several times.

Originally, it was expected that the cane sugar market would be very good, and there would be many customers who came to buy sugar, as long as the previous sales model was followed, the sugar could be sold locally, saving time and effort, so the establishment of sales outlets in the cane sugar sales area had not yet had time to start.

Now that the price of sugar has fallen like this, the customer has disappeared in a blink of an eye, and it seems that it is difficult to do the sugar in her hand without transporting it to the sales area, but this freight and the establishment of sales outlets have made her head big.

What's even more troublesome is that the floating losses of these sugars in the hands of the past year have far exceeded the profits that the alcohol sales business can bring in the past year. If the price of sugar does not rise in the second half of the year, this year will be in vain, and it is likely that you will lose a lot!

She was thinking about this, and when she saw Yao Li come in, she nodded and beckoned her to sit down.

"Manager Yu, now that the price of sugar is so low, do you think it will rise a little in the second half of the year?" Although when communicating with Tang Jianhua in the morning, he still had hope for the price in the second half of the year, but the huge negative number in Yao Li's heart overwhelmed her, she couldn't just believe Tang Jianhua's words, and wanted to hear more positive information to dispel the shadow in her heart.

So the first thing she said when she sat down was that she was most worried about it.

Yu Shuhua thought for a while and said: "This is really hard to say! It stands to reason that after falling so much, it should rise a little later, but you see that now, there are no people who buy sugar, even if it can rise, how much can it rise?"

Yao Li muttered: "No one expected that the price of sugar would fall so much this year!"

Yu Shuhua said: "No, when the price first began to fall, Mr. Wu convened a meeting of the three branch managers, and Li Xin reminded him at the meeting that the price of sugar may fall sharply, but Old Tang didn't believe it!"

Hearing this, Yao Li sat up straight and asked in surprise: "Why don't I know?

With Yu Shuhua's understanding of Yao Li, she knows that she is focused on speculation, and she is very concerned about who is close to the company's boss and who has influence in the company, and she is very concerned about what kind of meeting and who attends.

If someone of her level attends a meeting that she doesn't attend, she will feel that she is being ignored, which is the last thing she can accept.

Therefore, at this time, she didn't feel strange to see Yao Li's reaction, and said lightly: "It seems that you were not in the company that day, in fact, it was not for him to attend the meeting, didn't the company let him pay attention to and collect the price information of sugar futures? ”

When Yao Li heard this, she seemed to be relieved, and said disdainfully: "I don't think he is doing anything serious, he runs out all day long, and he can't see anyone in the office, isn't he just able to get the price data of the exchange? In fact, this information can be received through the fax machine." ”

When Yu Shuhua heard this, she was a little disappreciative and thought: Why are you a manager of the finance department in charge of the office? Competing with a college student who has just graduated not long ago, he is not afraid of losing his identity.

Yes, futures price information can be received by fax machine, but is it enough to have this information? Do you yourself have the level to understand this information and then give a little useful advice?

Lao Tang has no one in the company over the years, let alone an ordinary employee, and he is also a branch manager, and he is also angry with him. But Li Xin didn't scare him at the meeting and dared to tell the truth. Based on this alone, I think Li Xin is a good young man.

Thinking like this, Yu Shuhua didn't answer Yao Li's words.

Yao Li saw that Yu Shuhua didn't squeak, so she changed the topic and said, "Manager Yu, it's going to be May, how is your sales plan for the first half of the year going?"

Yu Shuhua said helplessly: "You know, the alcohol business is not bad, better than the same period last year, but the sucrose is more troublesome, and only a small part of it has been sold so far, and the vast majority is still in hand." The current market price is too low, and it is really not a good deal!"

Yao Li said: "In the three branches, now the payment situation on your side is a little better, you have to continue to work hard, and the head office will rely on you." ”

Yu Shuhua said: "Old Tang, they are the strongest on their side, and the head office should rely on them more." ”

Yao Li said helplessly: "The payment situation over there is even worse. ”

When Yu Shuhua heard this, she said with some vigilance: "Manager Yao, don't attack our idea of alcohol payments from the head office! If these payments are intercepted by the head office, then our business will be completely stopped." ”

Yao Li smiled and comforted her, "That won't be." If you really want to occupy your funds, the head office will discuss with you in advance. ”

When Yu Shuhua heard this, her heart became even more unsteady, but it was not easy to say anything. She muttered in her heart: Listening to what she said, it seems that there is no money in the head office's account, right?

When she thought about it, it seemed that this possibility was not impossible.

The alcohol sales business on my side and the sugar factory equipment sales business of the material branch are still in progress, and some of the funds are flowing, while the funds of the strongest sugar sales branch in the past are all on sucrose, and the funds cannot flow.

Now that the price of sugar is so low, and there is so much loss per ton of sugar, in this case, if the bank hears some information and does something, the head office may really have no money.

Thinking of this, Yu Shuhua's heart couldn't help but be clouded again. Yao Li, who was rarely smiling in front of her, turned out to be a weasel greeting the chicken, and she didn't have a good heart!
