Sixty years with spring

Chapter 236

Price Rise Storm (2)

Lao Gao saw that Director Xie was gone, asked a few female workers to clean up, called the man under the big tree, and talked very excitedly: "Hey, people don't fight for their lives, who lives what, they can't bring down the sharp cheeks." To put it bluntly, it's still long live the common people, and it's good to be unofficial and light. One more thing, man, you can't die in the river that should die in the well. ”

In order to prove his point, Lao Gao also deliberately told two stories. The first one is that the poor can't be rich, saying that a popcorn, fortune-telling since childhood is a poor life, learned the craft of popcorn, worked for a few years, and is easy to have some savings, is preparing to marry a wife and have children to buy a house, but I didn't expect to scare a half-deaf old lady to death. Popcorn has a rule, and it is put in the pot before boiling

G, shout a few times to avoid scaring people. But the old lady was half deaf, and did not hear the shouting, and when the pot rang, she was frightened, and she did not come up in one breath, and died. He spoke eloquently and tastefully, and from time to time made everyone laugh.

Che Hongxuan was walking in the stadium when he answered Xie Ruifen's call. Just a few days after the beginning of summer, it is the time when the poplar catkins are flying all over the sky, and the climate is pleasant. Many elderly people and sick people come out to do outdoor sports, and some people joke that this is a dying struggle.

"What for?" Xie Ruifen asked stiffly.

"What's the matter?"

"What's the matter! Just now, Lao Hao broke down and rode a donkey, and my father sent it to me. My dad's face was red and sweating, I knew that he was sick at a glance, and his blood pressure was more than 200, how scary? At such an age, a fall may cause a cerebral hemorrhage! I told you a long time ago that these old men are about to lose their scum, don't use them, in case something happens, it's not easy to do, but you just can't listen! ”

"What's going on?"

"I asked for a long time, but Lao Hao didn't answer, and then my dad told me when he got better that the price of aluminum ingots had risen."

Che Hongxuan paused for a moment, feeling very sudden, knowing that if it weren't for the fact that the situation was very serious, Director Xie would never be in a hurry like that. In order not to let Xie Ruifen also be in a hurry, she pretended to ask calmly: "How much has it risen, will it be in a hurry like this?" ”

"My dad said that a ton has risen by more than 5,000, and he can't buy it."

"It's impossible to buy goods, now that the commodity economy is so developed, there are still people who can't buy goods if you have money? As for the price increase, just find Party A. The old man is still old and has no idea when he encounters something, so he is in a hurry! ”

"Fortunately, you and Gu Mingyuan are small, otherwise the loss will be big. Don't do anything, hurry up and find him, first know and then fight, and get things done in all corners before starting work. ”

"I'll arrange these things. How about the old man, do you use me to pass? ”

"No need, I've already given him medicine, observe it, and if it doesn't work, I'll give him a drip. You have to be more careful, your sister said that you fell into Pingyang, although we don't believe this, but you have really not been smooth in the past two years. ”

", at most, earn less!"

This sentence made Xie Ruifen feel relaxed as soon as the clouds opened the sunrise, and said briskly: "That's right." I'm going out to study for a few days, you go back early every day to cook, Jiaojiao has classes every night. ”

"Okay."

After ending the call, Che Hongxuan immediately returned to the company.

Lao Gao was chatting with the workers under the big tree, and when he saw Che Hongxuan walking in, like an eagle entering the woods, he was suddenly silent.

Che Hongxuan heard the commotion from afar, he was very disgusted, he didn't say anything, and came to the office all the time.

Lao Shi came back from the construction site yesterday, and at this time he was wearing glasses and was concentrating on the drawings.

Che Hongxuan turned on the computer.

Because Che Hongxuan rarely surfed the Internet in the company, Lao Shi felt very strange, took off his glasses and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

"The price of aluminum ingots has gone up." Che Hongxuan said in a flat tone.

Lao Shi couldn't hear anything particularly serious happening from this calm tone, he stood up and walked over and said, "I've been busy with drawings these days, and I haven't been on the Internet." I'm going to install a door frame for each building, see how the design size is, and then check the installation plan. ”

"Yes."

"I'll come." Lao Shi knew that the relevant website required a member to log in, and Che Hongxuan did not know the password.

"Look at the futures and spot prices for aluminum ingots today."

"It's to be expected that there will be a slight uptick at this time of year. The building materials are all like this, with a pronounced seasonality. ”

"It could have gone up a lot."

"Will it?" Old Shi became alert and looked at the computer intently.

Che Hongxuan took out his mobile phone and called Lao Hao to find out about the material delivery in the morning. Then ask Lao Hao to use the relationship to contact the familiar aluminum factory and feel the situation.

After talking to Lao Hao, Che Hongxuan called Nie Limin again.

Nie Limin said: "The situation is terrible, it will not happen in a hundred years!" Due to the unclear price of aluminum ingots, as of today, the supply contract between our boss and the aluminum factory has not been signed. At present, aluminum mills do not ship goods, waiting for price increases. In this case, the company is not yet able to start mass production, so it cannot accept bulk orders. Today, the price of spot aluminum ingots rose by more than 300 (per ton) as soon as the market opened, and from last Thursday to today, it has risen by more than 2,500 for four consecutive days. Every year, the spot price is lower than the futures price, and this year it is the other way around, and the spot price is higher than the futures price. Now that the pick-up is on the headwind, you better wait. ”

"Wait? To wait is to die! ”

"No one but you is so sure!"

"Will it be cheaper to buy futures now?"

"That's far from quenching thirst, our company generally orders a batch of goods with aluminum factories at the end of the year, I don't understand whether it is considered futures."

"Is it possible for an old customer like us to give some policies?"

"It's stupid, most of the company's users are old relationships, what should you do if you are discounted? Besides, it is impossible to ask my boss to cut his own flesh and mend your scars. ”

"You have so much inventory, why can't you turn it around first? In the future, when the price comes back, won't it be easy to solve? It's not good for anyone to suffocate like this. ”

"That's not the case, the price increase is only good for my boss, not bad. The inventory plus the money that has been paid and ordered last year is about 8,000 tons, and one ton has risen by 2,000 and a half, that is 20 million, do you still have to work this year? I'll tell you the truth, the company is also waiting for the price to continue to rise, so it is easy not to accept the order. Don't spread this word, it's like eating inside and out, it's taboo. ”

Che Hongxuan was silent for a moment and continued to ask: "What is the price of aluminum ingots now?" ”

"More than sixteen thousand."

"What if I have to pick it up now?"

"In principle, not before the end of the month, the price goes up and we suffer, the price comes back, you suffer, there must be a hurt by then, so it is still arranged according to the company, and so on."

"I'm in a special situation, I can't wait."

"Then you can contact the boss."

"You can help me get in touch, so that everyone won't be embarrassed."

"Okay."

"I'll wait for your call."

The two ended the call.

Lao Shi frowned and said, "It's incredible! Not only aluminum ingots, but also the prices of non-ferrous metals have risen, and steel has also risen. ”

"What is the specifics of the spot?"

"Last Wednesday it was thirteen thousand five (per ton), last Saturday it was sixteen thousand one, and today it is three hundred. The key is that the goods are not available, which will prompt the price to continue to rise or fall weakly. ”

"In other words, the spot price will definitely push the futures price to continue to rise."

"I doubt it."

Che Hongxuan knew that this was already a fact that could not be changed, and asked, "What do experts say?" ”

"Where else are the experts? You say one thing and he says another, it's all messed up, and a bunch of people say that it can't go up anymore, and it will fall back in a few days; Another group of people said that this is a worldwide matter, there is speculation by large investors, and it is impossible to fall back in a short time. It's hard to find answers. ”

"What do you think?"

"I don't know, hell, almost overnight, more than half a million disappeared, which is equivalent to an Audi to nothing."

"You can't take your current car anymore, can you?!" Che Hongxuan said meaningfully, then sighed and crossed his arms.

Lao Shi didn't care about Che Hongxuan's words, and continued to look for clues in the computer. Finally, he saw a piece of good news, and excitedly lined up the table and said: "Yes, there has just come out with a message that the state is going to take action to stabilize prices and stabilize the market." ”

"Where did the news come from, exactly?" Che Hongxuan immediately stopped and asked.

"It is said that some industry associations have issued an appeal and made a report to the relevant state departments."

"Grapevine?"

"There is credibility, if the state does not come out to stabilize prices, then it will not be messed up? It can also be seen from the spot price that today's opening rose by 300, and then Xiaofu fluctuated up and down, not reaching the situation of more than 800 per day last week, which is very telling. ”

"The price increase of aluminum ingots will prompt bauxite mining, alumina production, and electrolytic aluminum production to move up prices, and the state will come out to stabilize prices, which will hurt the interests of these enterprises. Since prices are regulated by the market mechanism, it is contrary to common sense for the state to intervene again. ”

"I don't see it that way, it is an established national policy to let birds fly in cages, and the country has never given up macroeconomic control."

Che Hongxuan shook his head slightly and began pacing again. Thinking of something, he sneered and said: "I tell you, not only will the price not go down, but it will continue to rise, we must see this soberly, otherwise there is no place to die." ”

"What are we going to do?"

"Time is money, and opportunities are fleeting. The point that rises now is something we can digest and does not affect the result. If you wait until it continues to rise before making a decision, it will be too late, you are extremely irresponsible for yourself, the construction period is not good, and there is no time. ”

"The price is coming back and it's worth it even a little bit of delay. Can't just watch more than 500,000 disappear, how many 500,000 can you earn in total? ”

"What happens if prices continue to rise or don't come down, and the construction period is not fulfilled according to the contract? That's not a problem with an Audi, and the car in hand is not enough. You don't know Gu Mingyuan, if you throw the project there and wait for the price to drop, he won't understand us. ”

"If this worst-case situation occurs, we will not do anything, we will not stop, withhold the advance payment, and force Party A to increase the price."

"Will you be able to do anything in the future? For the sake of these 500,000, the office building behind it is gone? ”

"I'm talking about the end of the mountain!" Lao Shi was silent for a moment and continued, "I insist that since the price has suddenly risen, of course it will also fall quickly, which is in line with the natural rules of the ebb and flow of the tide. If we take into account the factor of state intervention, I dare to pack the ticket, the price will come back very quickly, and there will not be the worst situation we imagined. ”

"No, you can't bet your fate on an analysis that you don't know."

"Then immediately go to Party A and ask them to determine the price of the aluminum ingot when signing the contract."

"It's a must." Although Che Hongxuan said this, in fact, he felt that there was no point in continuing to argue with Lao Shi, so he just dealt with it.

Old Shi continued to look at the computer with a snort and didn't say anything more.

The two fell silent, and the room was silent.
