Section 138 Secretly plotting 5

When Thomas came back to his senses, he found that he had unknowingly called Director Gao.

Unlike Ren Jian, Director Gao seemed to be waiting for his call. Because he answered the phone almost immediately, not only that, but before Thomas had time to speak, Director Gao spoke first.

"Don't worry, Thomas, your grandfather will accept it. Director Gao directly said that Thomas was blind.

And sure enough...... Knowing everything.

Thomas had always suspected that Director Gao's long-range perception ability was definitely not only used to care about Lu Wu, but now it seemed that he could obviously detect what was going on around Thomas. Of course, Director Gao should only be able to observe a limited number of people, otherwise, wouldn't he be no different from a god?

What did Director Gao do to make him so confident? Thomas didn't think that any words could move his grandfather. In other words, if you want to pass this assessment, you don't rely on flowery rhetoric and eloquent skills, but you need real results.

But, as Thomas knows, this is not possible. No matter how awesome the manager is, it is useless.

Not only that, when they came in just now, they didn't go directly to Thomas's office, but went around the rooms first.

As a journalist, especially in this case, Thomas can also be regarded as a person with a keen eye. He had already sensed that the management of this company was far less than that of the steel mills. Well, it lacks the energy that seems to overflow from a steel mill.

Perhaps because the company has been established for a short time and the people's hearts are undecided, in short, I can clearly feel that the morale of the company's employees is not high. Generally speaking, a company with low morale is unlikely to operate efficiently and achieve outstanding results.

Not only that, but before they came, they also saw several staff members arguing - if it wasn't for the boss to stop it in time, it would almost have developed into a quarrel. Although this is only a very short scene, Thomas doesn't need to look at it to know that his grandfather's face is estimated to be gloomy by three points.

What could such a company convince grandpa?

His ramblings were interrupted by a cough from his grandfather. Thomas looked up, his phone still on his ear, but saw a few sinister elders looking towards him, and the expressions on their faces were hard to describe, at least not any of them that Thomas expected.

"Thomas, it looks like the game is finally over. A relative sitting next to him whispered.

"Wait...... If this continues, will the company change people...... "As long as the research center can be maintained, nothing else is a problem.

"What do you say? The other person held up a finger and made a smug gesture. "The first lesson we learned was called stop loss!"

"Stop-loss, but ......"

"Good job, Thomas!" said Old Wise.

Even Thomas looked at his grandfather with a stunned expression.

"Wait a minute, uncle," said another of Thomas's elders, in a cautious, but extremely unwilling tone. "It's impossible!"

They are all family members, which means that they have been in the family business for more or less long enough. Even if you don't have the ability, at least you have accumulated some experience. Everyone can see that this business is running ...... At best, it can only be counted as "barely", far from good.

Thomas rushed forward with his phone in hand, squeezing a spot in the crowd, and then he understood the reason for his grandfather's smile.

Because at least in the computer system, the books are very good. It's not the ordinary good, but the super awesome one. Because so far, it has only been a few months, and the profits are scared to death. Specifically, even if the investment related to the scientific research center is included, the company's books have reached the level of half of the principal and profit.

In a few months, the investment doubled...... This kind of achievement is not at all described as "good". That's why old Waisi's face was already full of smiles. Of course, in order to prevent mistakes, he is further detailing and proofreading.

Of course, business has business standards, and ordinary people have their own standards for the quality of the company, such as the internal atmosphere, for example, the enthusiasm of personnel, for example, discipline, and so on. And investors, that is, the bosses of companies, are also sensitive to this, but on top of all this, there is a more objective and realistic set of criteria that control their judgment.

That's the money-making situation.

Even if it is a fierce internal struggle, the personnel are sluggish, and everyone is planning to plot against other people's companies, as long as they can make money, it is a strange commodity to live in, and investors are still rushing to chase after it. On the contrary, even if the internal working atmosphere is so good that everyone is alive and sacrificed for the company at all costs, it will still be sold off as an inferior asset.

No matter how awesome a painter is, such as Van Gogh, he has to wait until the value of his paintings rises before he becomes a famous painter. If you can't sell it, even if you paint ninety-nine sunflowers, someone will take them to wipe your butt.

Investors are a group of people who you could say lack vision and are eager for quick success, but that's the norm. Lao Huaisi is certainly no exception. To put it bluntly, the boss's goal is to make money. As long as you can make money, everything is right, and conversely, everything is wrong if you can't make money.

Thomas himself didn't know when he returned to the couch with a confused face. Of course, this time he was the only one on the sofa, and everyone else squeezed over to watch with the old man. Or it can be said that everyone is trying to find flaws.

Everyone understands that there is no reason for this to make money. Because the company is not doing very well - in fact, such a medium-sized trading company, wanting to recoup its investment in a few months or something, is simply illogical nonsense in the current environment. So something must have gone wrong. Or it is a false account.

They have to cooperate with the old man to find out what is wrong.

"That, Director Gao. Thomas asked in a voice that almost trembled. It should be noted that from the time he got through the phone, Director Gao never hung up the phone. The two sides have maintained a state of communication at all times. "What's going on?"

"Because of the futures trading carried out by the company. Director Gao replied.

Futures trade is a very common thing in the current capital market, and the vast majority of Western companies will do this. Although many people see the futures market as a gamble, the two are different after all. To put it bluntly, gambling is a zero-sum game, that is, if someone wins, it must mean that someone loses. So gambling goes back and forth to win and lose, and it is the casino that makes money in the end, but the futures market is different.

Many participants in the futures market are not speculators, but well-behaved industrialists, and they do futures to hedge the risk of raw materials.

This is because under the rules of the game in the market economy, many commodities have great price fluctuations, such as oil, iron ore, coal, and so on. These prices fluctuate almost every day. For enterprises, it is naturally good for the price to change in their favor, but if the price changes unfavorably for themselves, it will be unlucky. In order to avoid this risk of "relying on the sky" and make the income stable, it is necessary to carry out futures trading.

From a chart perspective, this is to cut out the peaks and troughs on the volatility curve, so that the returns become stable and reliable.

Futures are even indispensable for trading companies, especially when trading some large commodities. No one thinks there's anything wrong with that.

"Futures?" Thomas was puzzled.

"To put it simply, I did a series of futures speculations. In the mobile phone, Director Gao replied methodically.

What Director Gao said is obviously not this kind of futures trading for the purpose of hedging risks. To put it simply, Director Gao is gambling and speculating.

"Speculative ......"

"It's just a small test. "Director Gao is not modest at all. He was not engaged in ordinary gambling, but ...... Gambling with great odds. The funds on the account can clearly show that Director Gao has won all the battles and carried out a series of futures trading in a short period of time. Everyone knows that gambling is definitely the most profitable business in the world when we only think about the benefits and not the risks. It's okay to get rich overnight or something. Not to mention several times, hundreds of times the profit is the norm.

Other companies use futures to hedge the risks of international trade, but this company of Thomas, under the management of Director Gao, uses international trade to cover up the true face of futures speculation. In contrast, legitimate trading business has simply become an embellishment or cover-up, which makes people not suspicious

"Don't worry. Director Gao said. "I've flattened the accounts, and I've laundered the money. Your grandfather may have doubted it, but the truth is unquestionable. ”

The truth is, the company does have so much to lose. Others can be faked, and the Arabic numerals on your bank account number that you can withdraw at will are impossible to fake. Today, various corporate financial systems claim to be quite complete, but the means of making false accounts are still emerging. Especially in the current situation, where the end result remains the same, it is easy to play a trick on the intermediate process. Of course, from another point of view, the speculative income in the futures market is also a very formal income, and the purpose of "money laundering" is just to disguise a relatively normal process.

A group of relatives looked around, and all they saw was a dizzying, no, rather a miracle-like beautiful performance.

That's right, since the establishment of the company, under the decisive delegation of the wise boss Thomas Thomas, the company has made great progress, with the fearless spirit of going against the current, under the leadership of the company's leading cadres such as the high factory director, riding the wind and waves, fighting the business sea, and achieving remarkable results.

That's what anyone who has carefully examined the accounts would have come to conclusion.

You can question it, but you can't deny the facts. Or rather, the facts are the most convincing and cannot be denied.
