Chapter 1649: Deliberately defaulting on the balance payment
Chen Dajiang rushed back and told me that they were deliberately delaying payment, saying that their leader had said that they would wait until all our products were sold before settling the account with us.
They also said that we should not be ignorant. It is lucky that the products of our small workshop can be sold in their shopping malls. They also asked us to thank them.
This sounds reasonable, and we really need a platform like Maoye Shopping Mall for publicity now.
But this is no reason not to settle the account!
But Chen Dajiang said that they are deliberately delaying our payment for two reasons:
First, when Chen Dajiang went to his shopping mall in the afternoon, he did not see the director of the planning department, but only Wang Rui, the deputy director of the planning department.
Wang Rui told Chen Dajiang that the director of their planning department was not in the company and was on a business trip.
Chen Dajiang called the director of the planning department last night, and the other party answered the call and his attitude was pretty good.
Chen Dajiang said he would go to the mall to check out this afternoon, and the supervisor readily agreed.
But when Chen Dajiang went to the mall today, he couldn't find the supervisor.
Doesn't this make it clear that he was let go? And it was intentional.
Chen Dajiang also noticed that the head of the planning department did not go on a business trip. He just heard that he was coming to settle the bill, so he hid on purpose!
Chen Dajiang is not someone who gives up easily. When he was in Europe, even Rupee's actions against him were of no avail.
These people couldn't trouble him at all. At the beginning, Chen Dajiang was still reasonable with Wang Rui. What matters in business is sincerity and credibility.
These two words combined are - "integrity"!
Since both parties have an appointment first, everyone agreed to settle the bill today and must fulfill their promise!
Our products were delivered on time and passed the inspection of your marketing department. There is no reason not to settle the bill for us.
Chen Dajiang also told the deputy supervisor that if everyone does business in this way, how can they cooperate in the future?
Unexpectedly, the other party replied coldly: "Thank you for your small workshop cooperating with our Maoye Shopping Mall and advertising for you for free."
When Chen Dajiang heard this, he became angry. He frowned and stared at Wang Rui and said: "Deputy Director Wang! Don't you think your words are ridiculous? Oh! When you eat, don't you say the food is not delicious?
After putting the food into his stomach, he told the restaurant owner that the food in your restaurant is so terrible! I can't pay the bill! What a ridiculous statement 1
Wang Ruitian smiled shamelessly at Chen Dajiang and said: "We are all friends, and it was hard to say some things at the time! As the saying goes, you have a short hand when you take someone else, and a short mouth when you eat someone."
Chen Dajiang became even more angry after hearing this!
So, we spent five to six thousand to treat you to good food, drinks and fun, but now it has become a reason for you to refute?
How unreasonable!
Wang Rui added to Chen Dajiang: "I can't make the decision on this matter. This is all what our leaders want. I'm just a microphone. 1
Chen Dajiang said angrily: "I will go find your leader right away1
"Then go find it1
Wang Rui showed no fear, looked at Chen Dajiang with a smile and said, "I told you already! Our supervisor is on a business trip."
"Then I'll go find the senior leader of your marketing department." Chen Dajiang glared at Wang Rui and started to fight!
Wang Rui snorted: "It's no use looking for anyone, do you think it was someone's idea?"
When he said this, there was a sneer on his lips.
Chen Dajiang ignored all this and went straight to the office of his marketing director.
But when Chen Dajiang went to find the marketing director, the result was the same as Wang Rui predicted. It was indeed useless!
The director of the marketing department was Mr. Wang who signed the contract with me. When he heard that Chen Dajiang said he was here to settle the balance, he told Chen Dajiang that their company had relevant procedures for this matter.
He was only responsible for signing the contract, but the purchasing department was responsible for the subsequent settlement, and he did not have a detailed understanding of this.
He said he would find out the facts as soon as possible and give us an answer as soon as possible.
After Chen Dajiang came out of Mr. Wang's office, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that they were "playing Tai Chi" with him.
They pushed me here and there, but everything always stayed in place, without any progress.
How can such a large shopping mall be so insincere in doing business?
This is obviously defaulting on our company’s account!
Later, Chen Dajiang called me and asked me what should I do?
I asked him to go back to the company first and discuss it further.
It wasn't until I went back to the company to see him and he recounted the whole thing to me.
He still looks very annoyed!
Of course, I was also very annoyed!
I didn't expect such a result. Mr. Wang was quite generous at first and I didn't mention the final payment.
But I don't know why it ended up like this. Even for the grandchildren in the purchasing department, we spent thousands of dollars to treat them to delicious food and drinks. When they drank to their heart's content, they put their arms around each other and called each other brothers.
It’s only been a few days, and I’ve already fallen out!
Chen Dajiang and I have the same idea. They deliberately defaulted on our company’s accounts!
I never expected that a large shopping mall could be so unreliable and go to great lengths to default on its cooperative companies' accounts!
How will they continue their business in the future?
Although the final payment is not a big sum of money for a large company, it is a lot of money for a small company like ours that is just starting out!
The most important thing is that we currently need such a sum of money to be injected into the company's account. This is an important financial guarantee for the company's normal operations in the future.
Our first offline store is still counting on the money.
I thought Maoye Shopping Mall had helped us a lot. For nearly half a month, we put all our time and energy into this cooperation.
The purpose is to do this well, to win the trust of the other party, and to establish the brand name and credibility of our Yalan Clothing!
But the current situation is that we only received a deposit of 50,000 yuan from beginning to end.
What turned out like this was beyond my expectation, and I was no longer embarrassed to contact Mr. Wang. After stopping Chen Dajiang's story, I called him immediately.
I didn't get the call the first time, but I got through the second time.
On the phone, I still asked politely: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm sorry to bother you. I want to know why the balance of our company is stuck?"
"I'm not sure about this either. You can ask the purchasing department."
I hurriedly said: "But our people went to the purchasing department today, and they didn't give an exact explanation."
My tone was actually quite gentle, but he got angry: "Aren't you bothered by me? Is it possible that a shopping mall as big as ours still owes you the final payment of 200,000?"
Since he and I were at odds with each other, I stopped pretending and sneered, "Since you said so, Mr. Wang, then we should get married as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly, he dropped "I'm in a meeting" and hung up the phone.
I was very angry. I was so loyal back then and signed the contract as soon as it was said to be signed. I didn’t expect that I would look different now than before.
Do you really think we are being taken advantage of?
I immediately summoned all the management in the company to discuss emergency strategies in my office.
