Chapter 119 [Main Business and Side Business]
After the lunch break, people's hearts became more and more volatile, and few salesmen were talking about business seriously. In the words of some people, you want to talk to the customer, but the customer is not willing to talk to you. This can be regarded as an objective reason, but it is also an excuse for people not to do things.
Mo Fan's sales group four currently has eight salesmen, and their strength is relatively average, no particularly outstanding, and no particularly bad. But the business volume of the whole group is still quite considerable, and in the past few days since he became the supervisor, there have been more than a dozen business transactions every day.
But in the afternoon, everyone didn't move, only Mo Fan did a single Yongsheng business by himself.
No one came to disturb him, and Mo Fan was happy to be quiet. He watched the futures trend while watching the time. After 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he threw out 30 lots of copper in his hand and entered a short position with only currency and no commodities.
The 30 hands of copper were only taken in after the opening of the market at half past one in the afternoon, and he had been in his hands for less than half an hour, but he had obtained more than 10,000 yuan.
This kind of speed of making money is not only much faster than doing sales, but there is no serious job that can match it. And as you have more and more money on hand, the benefits will snowball.
The reason why so many people sink in the futures market is because once they have tasted this sweetness, they will fall into it and will not be interested in any other work, even if they know that the risks are huge.
The British political commentator Denning once said in his book that people's profit-seeking behavior can be viewed in this way: With 50 percent of the profits, people can take risks; with 100 percent of the profits, they can make people commit crimes; and with 300 percent of the profits, people dare to risk their lives.
Huge gains often make people lose their minds. At the very least, it is still legal to do futures, so it is not difficult to understand why some people are crazy about it.
Generally speaking, there are long-term and short-term futures. Many people believe that long-term operation is a serious investment behavior. Some companies or individuals invest in futures, which can be regarded as a kind of hedging for the purpose of risk avoidance in combination with their own spot trade. They generally post a high percentage of margin, or even a full margin. The leverage obtained in this way is naturally very small, and the utilization rate of funds is undoubtedly low, but at the same time, the risk is greatly reduced.
This kind of long-term holding is not based on the specific length of time in the hand, but on the motive and reason for the move. In contrast, all short-term operations are considered speculative.
Many people who do short-term operations adhere to the principle of short positions overnight. Mo Fan did it more thoroughly, and even the fifteen-minute break in the morning and the ten-minute break in the afternoon would remain empty. This kind of operation can be regarded as an ultra-short-term operation, which is naturally a standard speculative behavior, otherwise it would not be possible to obtain such a large profit in a short period of time.
According to Mo Fan's prediction of the situation, there is no good time to make a move on this day. Naturally, there is still a market, but the risk is too great to be worth the risk. In the futures market, it is extremely important to be sane at all times. Some people who are known as the "gods of futures" fail when the scenery is infinite, and most of them are caused by getting carried away.
He took a sip of the teacup on the table, opened the performance list on the sales platform, and prepared to see the performance ranking of the salesmen in this group. Now that you are in charge, you should pay more or less attention to this aspect.
Lu Xiaorong transferred more than ten people from the sales department, but the ranking situation on the performance list has not changed, and those people are still in the forefront, only Lu Xiaorong and Yang Liyang are missing.
The four groups are all in the middle of the range, and the top ones are expected to win monthly sales bonuses, but there is also the possibility of being squeezed out at any time, and the situation is not very optimistic.
In comparison, it is still Mo Fan, who is the director, who is the most beautiful.
Thanks to the blessing of the boss, Mo Fan has firmly occupied the top position from the beginning of this month. With Lu Xiaorong's exit and Feng Yongsheng's increasingly strong performance, it is estimated that with Feng Yongsheng's one customer, he can win the sales championship.
However, Mo Fan knew that although he looked quite beautiful now, there were great hidden dangers behind it.
In one month at most, his MF customer plug-in will wipe out all the small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in Puhai. At that time, he can naturally brush it again, or change to another type of potential customer group, but the effect will undoubtedly be much worse.
After all, Feng Yongsheng's gang is just a snake in a small area, and the "territory" is limited. When all the customers in the area they are familiar with are developed, they enter a bottleneck. If they can't expand their business to a wider area, their business will be successful.
However, Boss Feng is a thoughtful person and has a sense of distress, and he called Mo Fan a few days ago and talked about this topic. Mo Fan gave him a lot of suggestions, believing that their business could still continue to develop, but it would definitely not be as smooth as it is now. As for which step can be achieved, it depends on Feng Yongsheng's ability.
Although there are such hidden dangers, Mo Fan doesn't pay much attention to it. The good days of the sales department are coming to an end, and personal performance is not so important. He began to wonder if he should move another place when the time came.
When he goes to work now, Mo Fan spends most of his time speculating in futures. If Lin Ruoxi knew, he would definitely reprimand him for not doing his job. If he resigns from here, he can do futures at home, so it doesn't seem like a problem for him what to do after the change in the sales department.
But Mo Fan doesn't want to turn himself into an otaku, and it is impossible to take futures speculation as a real business. Normal work life can keep people's body and mind in a better state, and if you want to make a career in the business world, it is absolutely impossible to stay at home without contact with the outside world.
He was pondering his next step when his phone rang. Glancing at the caller number, he was a little surprised.
It was Aya, a female futures broker, who called. The last time she came to do the account opening service, she was ready to seduce Mo Fan out of some kind of thought, but she was scared away by Liang Wenbo's "emotional" performance. After that, except for Aya who called Mo Fan once when the account was successfully opened, the two never contacted each other.
At this time, the futures market had entered the afternoon break, and Mo Fan thought that Aya had some important information to tell him, and when he picked up the phone, he realized that Aya was going to invite him to dinner.
Although Aya was very enthusiastic on the phone, Mo Fan could still hear that people had scruples about him, a guy who looked like a "".
There is naturally a reason why Aya can endure the discomfort in her heart and send out dinner invitations.
As an ultra-short-term speculator, Mo Fan not only made a profit for himself, but also incurred a huge amount of fees due to frequent trading. This is where the futures company's income lies, and there is also Aya's commission bonus in it. With such a high-quality customer, Aya should have a meal on the weekend. If it weren't for the "" identity, she would probably be willing to do more intimate contact.
For this invitation, Mo Fan naturally declined politely. Aya also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and complimented Mo Fan again, and when the break was almost over, the two sides ended the call.
After hanging up the phone, Mo Fan couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Liang Wenbo had a flash of inspiration that day, which saved him a lot of trouble.
After watching the news on the Internet, there was a knock on the door, and Mo Fan said, "Please come in." He looked up at the doorway.
Chen Jianjun, the sales supervisor of Group 5, opened the door and came in, smiling and saying, "Xiao Mo, it's time for a meeting!"
Mo Fan reacted at this time, as a supervisor, he was going to attend the regular meeting of the sales department on Friday afternoon. He stood up and walked outside, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Sister Chen's reminder, otherwise I really wouldn't remember such a thing." ”
The two of them walked towards the conference room together. Chen Jianjun said: "Xiao Mo, are you not very familiar with Lin Zhuang?"
Mo Fan said: "I'm not very familiar with it, I've only seen it a few times before." ”
Chen Jianjun is in his forties, and Mo Fan can call her an aunt. But no woman wants to call herself old, especially at her age, and she wants to look younger.
Putting aside qualifications, business ability, etc., the age of the people is there, Mo Fan also showed a minimum of politeness, and did not take out the set of fooling other salesmen, saying nonsense such as "you guess", but told the truth.
It's just that Chen Jianjun didn't seem to believe it very much, nodded and smiled "oh", with some doubts in his eyes.
Mo Fan is helpless about this, many times it is like this, telling the truth may not make people believe it.
The two chatted a few words, and when they walked into the conference room, they saw that Lu Yifang, the director of the second group, and Jiang Mao, the director of the third group, had already arrived. The four greeted each other and sat down at one end of the long conference table.
It has been four days since Mo Fan was appointed as the director, and everyone should have been surprised a long time ago. But today, the attitude of the other three directors towards him is obviously a little different. Not only was he more polite, but there was also a certain sense of exploration in his eyes, but because he was not familiar with him, he didn't say anything to ask.
As for the reasons for this phenomenon, Mo Fan also knew that it was all caused by eating at the same table with Lin Ruoxi at noon today. Especially after Lu Xiaorong left first, he had a good conversation with Lin Ruoxi.
The content of the conversation was actually not very pleasant, and halfway through, Mo Fan once had the feeling that he didn't talk more than half a sentence, and he almost wanted to leave. But others didn't know what they said, but they just saw him and Mr. Lin talking at the same table, which naturally showed that the two had a great relationship.
When Mo Fan came back from the restaurant at noon, he heard someone talking about it.
There are not many people in Haitian Company who go to the restaurant on the third floor to eat, but as long as one or two people see this kind of thing, the whole company will know about it. The office is the easiest place to spread all kinds of gossip, and the new boss Lin Ruoxi is the focus of everyone's attention, and it is impossible for people not to talk about it.
