Chapter 7 seven

The so-called "Zhu Runweng" who was waiting for the second boss to speak in the inner hall was a slender businessman in his late fifties.His name is Runshen, and he has been in the silk and satin business since his grandfather; he himself is also the manager of three silk and satin shops.He also has a small stake in the closed Huaguang Silk Weaving Factory. He knew that the second boss was meeting guests in front, and it was nothing more than a debt relationship.But he didn't quite understand whether the "relationship" was that the second boss owed the person, or that the person owed the second boss.He didn't want to figure it out either.He is a person with a casual temper. He has encountered countless debt disputes in his life, but he has never handled them in a messy manner.This is because his family has been "manager" for others for three generations, and at the same time "operates" on his own, making the status relationship very complicated. Or on behalf of a creditor, who is, however, a direct or indirect "creditor" in "personal" terms.This makes him very difficult.He can never understand his own position.And as time goes by, he also regards "not knowing" as the only way.

Even the "dispute" that he is waiting for the second boss to come to negotiate now is also an authentic "Zhu Runshen style" dispute.Because on the one hand he owns a small share in the Huaguang Silk Factory, he is a "creditor", but on the other hand he is the manager of three silk shops, so he is also his own "creditor". Since his position is so embarrassing, it's no wonder he waited in the inner hall for the second boss to never come again, so he wouldn't feel anxious at all. He drank tea slowly in the living room, walked slowly to the window to look at the big old crow's nest on the sycamore tree, listened to the old crows doing their evening lessons, and watched the sunset in the sky change little by little. Fade to gray, - he is very leisurely!

However, Tang Zijia's second boss finally came, and Jin Futian followed behind like a "troop" "covering the retreat". When the second boss entered the hall, he was still in a state of distress; but when he took out a handkerchief and wiped it on his face, it was as if he had put on a mask again, and his brows were full of vigor. The second boss asked Zhu Runshen to sit at the head, and he spoke first: "Brother Futian has already told Runweng that I won't have much time to delay when I come back this time. I will go back to Shanghai after the new year. Today I invite Runweng to discuss the Huaguang factory. It has been four months since the work stoppage. Several shareholders in Shanghai have repeatedly urged me to come back. They all said: "Since it is difficult to start the work, it is better to end it as soon as possible. It is not an option to freeze there." ——Horun Weng, are you Silk industry, in your opinion, can the silk industry be more active next year?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say!" Zhu Runshen pondered for a while, and only answered these four words. "A group of friends in the silk industry in Shanghai said, 'Extreme things will turn back'. Recently, the price of silk has fallen to the point of no return, and many factories have closed down. There will not be many shipments in the future, and the price of silk may return to a higher level. They also said The reason for the sharp drop now is that everyone has no cash in their hands; if you want cash, you can’t worry about losing money—this is also true." "That's not true!" Jin Futian interjected when he saw that Zhu Runshen was still pondering. "The Shih Tzu crepe on the market only sells for 4.6 cents; but the price in our factory is also 4.4 cents.

This is not what a loss-making business is! " "Four corners and six, you can't do business." Zhu Runshen spoke slowly, tapping the side of the coffee table lightly with the middle finger of his left hand. "Hey, Ziweng, although the shipments are less, the inventory is piled up like a mountain! Moreover, the new-style satins and crepes are all mixed with rayon. If you don't want to put them away, everyone just wants to sell them quickly." "Oh—hey! Fukuda, how much do we have in stock?" "When we stopped working, we counted 453 boxes, and it's still the same now."

"Hi!" The second boss sighed and stopped talking. Four hundred and fifty-three boxes piled up like a mountain!The second boss felt that the mountain was squatting in front of him, blocking his way.And he vaguely saw that the mountain was rotten—because most of it was rayon.But this rotten mountain didn't give him a way, but pressed against him and buried him alive! The second boss sighed again, and said to Zhu Runshen as if waking up suddenly: "For the present plan, we should end it as soon as possible. However, the debt owed under the name of Huaguang Factory is 200,000 yuan, which is really touching." Don’t buy it.—Brother Futian, isn’t it true that the factory is not losing money under the business item, but the bad thing is that the inventory can’t be sold. Weng Run, we might as well lower the price a little bit more, these 400 boxes of inventory You have to get rid of it as soon as possible!"

"Oh, oh! The timing is unlucky. There are not many spring sales, and this year's end is making trouble; I really have no confidence in the market after the next year!" Zhu Runshen said in a very low spirited manner. The second boss raised his voice and went one step further: "It's difficult, but it must be done that way! Run Weng, you are also a shareholder here, and you are closely related; -- you are in charge of the three largest silk and satin shops in the city, and you always carry the burden of one or two hundred boxes. Can you afford it?" Zhu Runshen seemed to have expected that the second boss would make such a move, but he seemed unaware that the second boss would make such a move, so he couldn't help being stunned.Yes, he is also a shareholder of Huaguang Factory, but this is only 1,500 yuan, and when Huaguang Factory was on vacation the year before last, the dividend was paid out by four cents, and half of his capital was returned.As for the three big silk and satin shops, they are his family's ancestral "site" and the "base camp" of his current activities. If he is asked to "endanger" his own "old village" for the sake of the closed Huaguang factory, although he He has always been an "ignorantist", but now he has to firmly support the interests of the owners of the three shops in his hands.

He touched his chin with one hand, shook it with the other, and replied simply: "The stocks in the three shops here are also full!" "Oh--" The second boss didn't expect that Zhu Runshen would suddenly "get it right", so he was taken aback. Jin Futian couldn't stand it any longer, so he took out his identity as "sales director" and said: "Run Weng, the factory isn't losing money! Not to mention the inventory, but the accounts that have been released are worth about 100,000 yuan. The three shops at Run Weng's side have a large portion——I remember about 40,000 yuan. Come on! Weng Run, how do you figure out this account?" "Oh, oh! I almost forgot too! There is a surplus in the factory! There is also an account!"

The second boss smiled lightly as he spoke. Zhu Runshen also frowned and smiled bitterly.He thought in his heart, "This is the time to collect the debt!" In the past ten minutes, he was first regarded as a shareholder—a person on the side of the manufacturer, and then he became the target of the manufacturer’s sales—the customer, and now he became a debtor. ; but at the same time he is still regarded as a shareholder with creditor's rights; such changes are too many and too fast, so he almost "gets confused". Especially the account of the "forty thousand scenes" that Jin Futian said, not only did he get a huge rebate, but also 30% had already been paid on the account books of the three shops in his hand, but he was in urgent need at that time—he He also made some markup money, and just borrowed it casually, and it has not been cleared until now; this special hidden situation seems to make him now only willing to "not figure it out" as usual.

The second boss got a little impatient when he saw that Zhu Run didn't speak; he asked bluntly: "Run Weng, can you settle the account of 40,000 heads a year ago?" "I can only ask Dong Weng of the three families." "Hey! Weng Run! Although you are 'helping' over there, you are more than half the owner; the three decades-old shops, and the bosses are among the richest. Isn't 40,000 yuan still embarrassing? " "It's hard to say, it's hard to say; Zi Weng—every family is empty now." "Run Weng, several shareholders in Shanghai take the account very seriously. They said that if they can't do it, they have to ask for legal relief! We can work out a way, can't we?"

The second boss's tone was tight to the last step, but Zhu Runshen embraced his "unclear" method, and just frowned and smiled bitterly, he was not in a hurry.He saw it very clearly: when Huaguang Factory's debts were tight, the director should shoulder the burden, and the second boss was the director, but Zhu Runshen was not. The second boss looked at Jin Futian, and Jin Futian also looked back at the second boss.The hall was temporarily quiet.There were crows calling outside the hall, and the sky was already 60% dark. Jin Futian went to turn on the light, walked between the second boss and Zhu Runshen and said: "Run Weng—oh, Second Boss, we are all from our own family, so let's make a comprehensive plan. Money is tight, that's the truth; it may be a bit difficult for the three shops at Run Weng's side to mobilize 40,000 yuan. There is not a small amount of money that must be paid in advance, and we have to find a way to make up for it. Run Weng, how about this: you try to raise half of it, and then the factory sends another batch of goods to Run Weng's three shops,—one hundred boxes is too much, Just eighty cartons; in this way, it will be easier for Weng Run to ask the owner for money, and the factory will also allocate 20,000 yuan for use, and the inventory will be loose; this is a comprehensive solution." "Ah, Brother Futian, how did you make this abacus? Haha, the deposit account has not been cleared, but a new account has been placed instead!" Zhu Runshen suddenly smiled and said, suddenly he was standing as a shareholder again. Jin Futian also laughed.But he immediately put away his smile, and said seriously: "This year's success is impossible, so I have to be so-so. But, Run Weng, it's a deal!" "That's the only way to do it, it's all from my own family." The second boss also expressed agree. But Zhu Runshen couldn't agree.Suddenly he could "figure it out" again.He knew that if the three shops in his hand were operated in this way, they would be dead by the Dragon Boat Festival next year; at that time, he would have no "sticks" to deal with. "Difficult—difficult! Brother Ziweng and Futian don't know what's going on,—the three shops have long been empty shells. Uh—it's a mad paralysis. The cash has changed accounts, and the inventory in the warehouse cannot be sold." After hesitating for a while, Zhu Runshen's tone was still absolutely not relaxed. Jin Futian winked at the second boss, stretched out the five fingers of his left hand close to the second boss, and quickly squeezed into a fist, which meant to urge the second boss to make a decisive decision.But the second boss only breathed out lightly, and couldn't "move" immediately.The second boss is naturally more thoughtful than Jin Futian. He knows that if this matter goes to court, it may not be resolved quickly and satisfactorily; He couldn't bear the "appetite" of many creditors of the factory, and everyone rushed to him. The "policy" of the second boss is to get some without anyone noticing, and put them to use first.As for the creditors of the Huaguang factory, they can still use "the factory is also in arrears" to prevaricate. But the second boss also felt that Zhu Runshen was too "hateful", so after deliberation and deliberation, he gave a dry laugh and said coldly: "Then, Run Weng, I have no choice but to try to follow the method of the shareholders in Shanghai. ——However, Run Weng, I always want to settle it peacefully; just because this matter is serious, it involves too many details Festival, it’s not good-looking on your face,—ah! Brother Futian, don’t you think so?” When Zhu Runshen heard the last sentence, his heart skipped a beat.He knew that this was the second boss's threat, but he was also afraid that the second boss would really take this step.At this time, Jin Futian said a few more bluntly: "Run Weng, at that time, it is necessary to investigate the accounts; then, how much rebate has been paid by the factory, and the goods code has been raised higher than that of other factories--we can't cover all kinds of details!" "Well, well—" Zhu Runshen's breathing was a little short, but his face still maintained a nonchalant look. "So Luo, Run Weng, I mean, I hope this matter doesn't have to go through legal procedures!" The second boss teased gently, with a terrifying smile on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, Zhu Runshen seemed to have a pair of balances in his heart: one end was to agree to the request of the second boss and the others, but the result was that the three shops in his hands would run aground very late at the Dragon Boat Festival next year, and his ancestral "one stick" would come to an end. If one side refuses to agree, then at the latest one month later, the "stick" in his hand will be taken back by his boss, and he will not be allowed to "play" again; Can't help but figure it out quickly. He touched his chin with one hand and the corner of the chair with the other, his eyes drooped, as if he was looking at his own heart——the balance scale on his heart; finally he saw the "no promise" end of the balance scale It sank. "Well, well, I'll try to come up with ideas; or it's okay—well, Ziweng, just keep the numbers down—" Zhu Runshen said this unconsciously. "Ha, haha, Run Weng! ——It's my family after all, take care of the overall situation! Haha!" The second boss jumped up happily and patted Zhu Runshen on the shoulder. Zhu Runshen felt that the second boss's light slap was heavier than a thousand catty stone; but what else could he do besides bear it?His situation is too embarrassing. Jin Futian also smiled maliciously, and said repeatedly: "Run Weng really cares about the overall situation." The second boss sat down again, took out his cigar, and was about to refresh himself, taking advantage of the momentum to figure out how much "reduction" was "required", when he suddenly saw old accountant Hu poking his head at the door at the left corner of the hall.The second boss lit his cigar and shouted, "Is that Lao Hu? What are you doing?" "Second Boss! It's the tenant who runs the peanut stall who owes the rent and must see you. ——I beg you face to face." "Hey! You are so confused! What are you doing seeing me? Just figure it out!" "But he must see. I'm so haunted by him." "Hi! What a joke! Oh—" The second boss had a very good temper because he just won the victory. However, before he said "oh", a person squeezed out from behind Lao Hu, and ran into the hall in a panic.
