All 300 tons of rebar were sent to Lei Datou last night.
But one day and one night passed, and Lei Datou didn't give him a penny.
The current ex-factory price of rebar is 500 yuan per ton, and the selling price of 300 tons is 150,000 yuan.
Even if he doesn't make a penny, Liu Haizhong still has to take back 150,000, or he has to pay for it himself.
But his company has just been open for more than a month, and Liu Guangqi has just shipped ten orders of 280 tons of cargo, so the total net profit earned is less than 20,000 yuan.
If we really raise the stakes, it won’t be enough even if we sell iron and houses.
Liu Haizhong was originally very cautious in doing business and never shipped goods without seeing the money.
Because of this, in just over a month, he accumulated a net profit of nearly 20,000 yuan.
Taking advantage of the new trends of the times and the mentor-disciple relationship between himself and Director Lan of the No. 3 Factory.
The bangs almost flew into the sky.
But his pattern was always fixed on his identity as the second uncle in the courtyard.
It is true that when you climb a small mountain you feel relaxed, when you climb a big mountain you feel confused, and when you climb a deep mountain you feel panic.
After earning too much money and reaching a level that he could no longer bear, Liu Haizhong lost himself.
Looking at Lei Datou's 300-ton order, although I was a little confused, I still shipped the goods to him without hesitation, feeling that everything was under my control.
I didn't ask whether Lei Datou could digest the 300 tons of rebar at once.
Relying on his master-apprentice relationship with Factory Director Lan, Liu Haizhong placed an order first and then paid for it this time.
Factory Director Lan did not embarrass him and immediately asked the sales department to deliver the goods. Although Liu Haizhong did not have as strong financial resources as Lin Zhen, he had never owed money in previous transactions.
I thought he could settle the payment the next day, but by the afternoon of the next day, he still had no intention of paying.
The sales department called Liu Haizhong to urge him.
"Master Liu, you placed the order the day before yesterday in the afternoon, and we arranged the delivery yesterday morning. It has been more than two days, so how come you haven't received any response from me for paying for the goods? At least give me part of it first. I'm fine.
Discuss it slowly with the finance department. As you know, finance requires bills every day. We have made it convenient for you. You can't make things difficult for us."
Liu Haizhong apologized profusely, and after hanging up the phone, he sent Liu Guangfu to collect the bill.
Naturally, Liu Guangfu couldn't get a penny, but he went to the construction site and found out that Lei Datou had put 300 tons of rebar into a newly rented warehouse.
Liu Guangfu was also panicked at this time and asked Lei Datou. Lei Datou had already prepared his excuse and was waiting for him.
I had no choice but to come back and tell Liu Haizhong, who was about to go to the No. 3 Factory to find Director Lan to ask for a two-day reprieve.
I happened to meet Liu Guangfu on the street. After hearing what happened, I hurriedly ran back and called Lei Datou.
As a result, Lei Da was able to prevaricate him in the first two sentences.
Liu Haizhong hung up the phone and was pacing back and forth anxiously when Liu Guangfu ran back.
"Dad, don't worry. We have a contract and Lei Datou can't run away. What are you afraid of? I went to see his engineering team today and they are still working in full swing."
Liu Haizhong said anxiously: "I'm worried that if the payment is not made on time this time, Director Lan will not ship to us in the future!"
"Ah? No way? Isn't he your apprentice? You also said that you funded his college education."
Liu Haizhong pursed his lips in embarrassment.
"That's just me bragging to others. I don't even know where Director Lan went to school before he became an apprentice. Besides, how could our family have the money to support others more than ten years ago? I'm not the same as Guangtian, and I can't lead an apprentice."
Just like that, he is willing to give us unlimited amounts of rebar, which is enough to give me, the master, face."
Liu Guangfu felt cold in his heart, "Okay, I understand, our company is in serious danger, I'd better go and urge Lei Datou again!"
Liu Haizhong said impatiently: "Stop pressing, what's the use of pressing anymore? Let's go together tomorrow. If he doesn't pay the payment, he will take back the Luo rebar and send it to other customers. From now on, if Lei Datou doesn't take the money first, everything will be free of charge.
talk!"
"Uh... Dad, why don't you take it easy and put in a good word with Factory Manager Lan? After all, Lei Datou is our big customer, so we can't cause trouble and cut off the road."
Liu Haizhong said: "Let's finish looking for Lei Datou tomorrow. It doesn't matter if we cut him off as a customer. After all, I still have your brother. If it doesn't work out, I'll abandon my old face and go to Lin Zhen to discuss business."
Liu Guangfu was not convinced and did not dare to say anything, so he had to go back to his room to rest.
Early the next morning.
Liu Haizhong took Liu Guangfu to Lei Datou's ward in the hospital.
The police had just left after checking the post, and Lei Datou was arranging things at the Huaihua construction site.
Today, this husband-and-wife team is running a small construction company with a positive attitude.
I saw Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangfu arriving.
Lei Datou hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh! The second uncle and Uncle Guangfu are here. Please sit down quickly. I can't get out of bed and can't greet them. Don't blame me! Don't blame me!"
Huaihua hurriedly brought two cups of hot water, "Second Grandpa, Uncle Guangfu, drink water."
Liu Haizhong took it a little embarrassedly and asked with a smile: "Leibao, how is your leg? Do you feel better?"
"I'm much better. I can move all five toes. The doctor said I'm recovering well and maybe I can walk without crutches in the future."
"That's really congratulations to you."
"Well, I hope, maybe the doctor is deliberately encouraging me. If he tries to coax me, I'll probably have to use crutches."
After Liu Haizhong exchanged pleasantries with Lei Bao, he asked about the payment.
Lei Datou said: "Second Grandpa, I know that's why you came here. I didn't lie to you. I called you yesterday to urge them, but it was of no use. They just didn't want the goods. Since you are here, I will call again now.
I remind you again, turn on the speakerphone and listen to it."
As expected, Lei Datou called his customers one by one on speakerphone.
As a result, those customers either said that they were paying for the project, but the next project had not yet started.
Either they say that the goods from last time have not been used up, or they say that they have purchased goods at a low price from elsewhere.
This made Liu Guangfu confused with his bangs.
Lei Datou also became angrier the more he called, and finally got into an argument on the phone with a boss named Wu.
"Wu Laoer, you are so dishonest. Didn't you agree to always use my products? Why did you fall into someone else's trap without even saying hello to me? I've never hit you before, have I?"
"Go away, Lei Datou, you think you are the little bully outside Dongzhimen when you step on a horse? Bullshit, you are going to jail if you step on a horse, don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf here, the rebar I use is not only cheaper than yours
, it’s still yours! I’m so angry, you bitch!”
"What the hell do you mean? Please explain it to me!"
"So what if I explain it clearly? Can I still be afraid of you? To tell you the truth, not only me, but all of our colleagues who once bought goods from you at high prices no longer want your goods. Your boss Liu Guangqi bypassed you.
You took the initiative to come to us. Hum, it’s not that we don’t obey the rules, it’s your boss who tricked you. Are you still in your dream? You dare to order 300 tons of goods. I’m going to kill you. You can’t eat it yourself and carry it home.
!”
Du~du~du…
Boss Wu hung up the phone on the other end.
The ward fell into an awkward silence.
Liu Haizhong looked at Liu Guangfu, Lei Datou looked at Sophora japonica, and the four of them looked at each other again.
Suddenly, Huaihua asked in surprise: "Second Grandpa, what's going on with you? How can we be like you? Even if you want to sell goods, you can't rob our customers, right?"
Liu Haizhong denied it repeatedly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Liu Guangfu also said hurriedly: "How could it be possible? We are not the kind of people who don't understand the rules!"
Snapped!
Lei Datou slammed the table and said angrily: "This is too much! Even if you want to dig me out, you should let me know that you are bypassing me on one side and giving me 300 tons of cargo on the other. This is not a scam.
I don’t want it anymore! Take it away! Pay liquidated damages and pay the rent for renting the warehouse!”
Liu Guangfu said hurriedly: "Hey Lei Bao, don't be so anxious to fall out. This matter hasn't been settled yet. We don't even know what happened?"
Lei Datou said angrily: "You still don't know? You didn't hear the phone call just now, did you?"
Huaihua complained: "It's really unruly. Isn't this a scam? Don't let my family have to pay off the debt again!"
Liu Haizhong shook his head angrily, "Guangfu, hurry up and ask your elder brother. I'll go to the No. 3 Factory."
"etc!"
Lei Datou hurriedly shouted: "Don't even think about running away, this matter must be resolved for me, only one of you can leave!"
Liu Haizhong said: "I have to go to the third factory to ask if the payment can be delayed for another day."
"Just wait here for a while. Let Liu Guangfu ask Liu Guangqi first and return the goods to me!"
Huaihua hurriedly stopped at the door. Liu Haizhong didn't want to take action, so he had to sit in the room and wait.
But I was already thinking about how to deal with these 300 tons of cargo.
I hope it can be sold as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to pay the money myself.
If he really got to the point where he was taken away by the steel rolling mill, he would have been convicted of falsifying accounts and building materials with empty hands.
A year ago, this would have been a serious speculative failure, and it would have been a surefire success.
Even if the situation changes now, speculation is not a serious crime, but falsifying accounts is still a crime.
As he got older, he didn't want to keep company with Silly Zhu.
Liu Haizhong sat in the corner, looking at his nose and heart, not talking, not listening to what Huaihua and Lei Datou said, just waiting for Liu Guangfu to come back as soon as possible.
Huaihua said: "Lei Bao, the price they gave us for these 300 tons of rebar is 156,000, but we don't have the money to pay for it, and our small construction company can't consume it all!"
Lei Datou said angrily: "We all know that you make money by cheating, but you rob my customers and don't give me a way to survive. This is evil. Liu Haizhong, let me tell you, you are committing fraud. I must call the police!"
Liu Haizhong said helplessly: "Oh! Can you shout again later? I really don't know about this. If that bitch Liu Guangqi really uses this harmful trick to compete with Guangfu, I will break his legs!"
"
"It doesn't matter if you beat him to death! Anyway, these 300 tons of goods are stored in my warehouse. You must deal with them for me, and my customers must return them to me!"
"Sigh... It's all my fault that I was too careless and didn't ask clearly where Guangqi's client came from."
"Don't say it's useless. I'd better call the police immediately. It's obvious that you're trying to trick me!"
