During the Tang Dynasty, Lingmiao City was one of the acropolises of Changjing, where the garrison was stationed. At that time, there were eight acropolises in Changjing, forming a circle, guarding the prosperous imperial city. Today, Changjing is no longer the same Changjing, with an area less than half of what it used to be. There are also four fewer Eight Guards Cities, which have turned into the dust of history, leaving only a few traces to feebly tell people that they once existed. Pass.
Although the remaining four cities are still the current Acropolis of Changjing, at this time the Acropolis no longer has the warriors and horses, only the common people struggling for life here.
Of course, there are also unseen stormy waves surging in ordinary life without a golden horse.
As the back wave of Peijin, the Shen family is undergoing the baptism of the storm.
For businessmen, the end of the year is the busiest time. Every businessman, whether diligent or not, is busy. As the Shen family stands out in this business world, they will naturally not be overwhelmed by these things.
But this year was different. There were problems with the goods one after another, which caused several shopkeepers to drive to the Shen family to find their leader Shen Wanguan, who is also the current head of the Shen family.
In the conference hall, several shopkeepers expressed their grievances with sad faces. It was clear that there was no problem with the goods sold here, but when they went to others to inspect the goods, problems appeared.
In fact, problems with goods are not a big problem in normal times, but when the end of the year comes, the problem is different. In the late winter of this year, various industries in Jubaohang are blooming, and there are more people asking for goods than in the previous year. A lot of what was originally reserved had to be sold, and everyone was happily waiting for the dividends at the end of the year.
But fortunately, problems arose. At first, there were only one or two goods with problems, and some were replaced. But later, more and more customers discovered the problem. When these shopkeepers went to make turnover, they found that the reserved goods were empty. , if you cannot deliver goods to customers, you have to compensate them with money, and when you sign a contract with the Shen family, the compensation rate is quite high, which is not only attractive, but also shows your confidence. ωωw.
Everyone was chattering, but Shen Waguan crossed his fingers and held his head, looking thoughtful, and did not interrupt the discussion of these people.
Everyone quarreled for a while, everything that needed to be said was said, and then they were thinking about how to make up for other people's goods. If they couldn't make up for it, it would be troublesome. If they paid all the money, they would have to pay a lot.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the Shen family has become famous in recent years, and they, the shopkeepers, know that the head of the family has spent a lot of money to expand his "territory" in recent years. Although those "territories" The future is promising, but the distant water cannot save the nearby fire. What can they do to compensate now?
Thinking of this, many people's eyes began to dodge. They were most afraid that the head of the family would say those words.
But what they were waiting for was not that sentence, but something else.
Shen Wanguan watched them all quiet down, and it was his turn to speak: "Who are the customers with the problematic goods?"
"Master, you are doubting them..." said the person who knew the shopkeeper.
"No, I don't know anything else. I personally recruited all my clients, so there's no big problem." Another said, if they conspired to commit fraud, it would only be reasonable for them to take the initiative to contact themselves.
"Is it a new customer or an old customer?" Shen Wanguan asked again.
"Relatively new." For the Shen family, those who have cooperated with us for more than three years are considered old customers. "They had purchased small quantities before, but then they felt that we had no problems and were efficient, so they purchased in large quantities."
"No regular customers?"
"Yes, no, I only have one here."
"I don't have any."
"I don't have either."
"I have one here too."
When the head of the family asked questions, they all answered enthusiastically.
"That is to say, the problem is concentrated on the new goods. Well, the next question is, is it really a problem with our goods? Isn't it being subcontracted?" Shen Wanguan continued.
"No, it won't. When we entered the warehouse, everything we checked showed no problems, and there were no problems on the way to delivery. And we almost always inspected the goods directly after they arrived. I just don't understand what's going on. Something went wrong."
"Then there's something wrong with us." Shen Waguan said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Although some people had already found the answer, they did not want the head of the family to say it. If he said it, it would most likely be true.
These people will not explain themselves. The sooner they explain, the more suspicious they will be. Once they are suspected, it will be difficult to escape.
"You don't have to worry about this issue. I will check it out. The next step is to deal with the current problem first. The goods cannot be replenished to customers, so we have to pay money. I don't think those people will let us keep the compensation until next year." Well, after all, they are doing business, and they have to find other channels to replenish their supplies."
"Then let's find our colleagues to replenish supplies to those people, so we don't have to pay so much," one person said.
"Let's not talk about the quality issue. I guess those people will be furious if they know this situation. The losses are not small, not to mention that they may not sell the goods to us. Shopping malls are like battlefields. They are usually polite, but if they really want to They won't be merciful when it comes to cutting." Shen Wanguan pointed his finger at the table and spoke in an unhurried tone.
"The owner of the house, does the family still have circulating funds?" one person asked out of curiosity.
"Yes, but not much. The hole is too big to be filled."
The sound of "thump thump thump" fingers pointing at the table seemed to remind everyone of something.
"Master, my family can contribute a little, not much, maybe just a drop in the bucket. As you know, I have spent a lot of money in the past two years." A person was the first to stand up.
Shen Wanguan did not speak.
Then, the second person also stood up.
"I have a little more. I have saved a little in my daily life, and I am just waiting to make a deal with the head of the family. Head of the house, this is not to add insult to injury. I will give you the money first. After this matter is over, we will discuss the deal."
Some people have changed their stance, and although there are still many people who have small thoughts, they have also begun to come forward.
"I don't have much. My father-in-law's expenses are huge this year, which is really unfortunate."
"I have some too. Although the prodigal women at home spend a lot of money, I have saved some for myself."
"Master, I'm going to send someone home to get it right now, so I can use this to teach that prodigal son of mine a lesson."
Everyone expressed their actions for the sake of this family.
"Well, I am very pleased to see that everyone is contributing their own efforts to the crisis of Jubao Bank." Shen Wanguan said those four words with great meaning.
"I'll figure out a way to deal with the money." Shen Wanguan said loudly. "It's not easy to borrow money."
"Master, you can't borrow from those leeches. Just in case, I mean just in case, those guys will..." said a shopkeeper. The leeches are talking about those people who come back to business after nine days and thirteen days. .
"No, just go and beg those old rivals. Aren't they always expecting me to bow my head? I will bow to them right now."
"Master, I can't help it. You are just drinking poison to quench your thirst." Some people stopped him.
"It's better than dying of thirst now." Shen Wanguan said with a smile. Only he could smile at this time, and the others couldn't even smile bitterly.
"Okay, you go back first. Tell those people in five days. Within five days, I, Shen Wanguan, will personally apologize."
"this....."
Although the head of the family had given such assurance, they were still a little worried.
"Why, you don't believe what the head of the family says. If you don't believe it, why are you coming to me?" Shen Wanguan looked at the expressions on their faces.
Just when everyone was about to disperse, a subordinate hurriedly ran in, which stunned the people who had just stood up and patted their butts. When people like them were in a meeting, outsiders could not come in without notification. Even though the meeting is almost over now.
Shen Wanguan raised his eyebrows. He was the one who set the rules of the meeting, so it would definitely be uncomfortable if someone broke it in front of him, but he didn't stop. He knew this person, and if he showed up in such a hurry, then... .Shen Wanguan waited for the man to report.
"Master, something happened!" The man said after taking a few breaths. "Something happened to the young master and the young lady!"
"Crack!"
A sudden sound of slamming on the table made everyone excited, and their eyes turned to the head of the Shen Wanguan family. They had never seen him so impulsive before when something related to "life and death" happened in the family.
At this time, these shopkeepers realized how important the young master and young lady were in the eyes of the family owner.
"Tell me, what happened?" Shen Waguan said in a deep voice.
"They're gone."
"Gone?" Shen Wanguan stared at that person. A simple "missing" sentence would not make this person come in such a hurry.
"Is the lady disgusted and ran out secretly?" said a shopkeeper.
"You should go back first. Those guests are still waiting for a reply from our Shen family." Shen Wanguan said, those people don't have to worry about the next thing.
"Master, let's leave first. Miss and the others may be just being naughty. Calm down. Don't you have family money with you on this trip? Everything will be fine."
"Yes, yes, Master, please relax, we will leave first."
Everyone filed out, and after a while, the conference hall became empty. At this time, Shen Waguan said: "Is there something wrong with your identity?"
"Miss and the others were ambushed. When we arrived, the lady and the young master were almost out of sight," the visitor said hastily.
"Wait a minute, aren't you two together?" Shen Wanguan heard a problem.
"This... we are separated." The person who reported the news said awkwardly.
"Separated? Tell me exactly what happened." Shen Waguan's fists tightened.
"This is what happened..."
