Chapter 2 Begin to default on the wages of migrant workers
Update time:2012-05-31
Lying on the bed, thinking about the woman he wanted to marry, Liu Jian was confused. Was it because she was too abstract and ordinary, or was it because his memory was so poor that he couldn't remember what he looked like?
With the sign on, Liu Jian went back and forth between Panshi and Heishi. Liu Jian had a lot of opinions about this car. What brand should he buy? He had to buy a "bitch" brand. Sometimes he thought about riding a car every day.
As for "bitch", Liu Jian felt quite happy. In his previous life, he had only been so happy for a few days.
Liu Jian, who has accepted the reality, has completely changed his mentality. What is the biggest golden finger of rebirth? It is the foresight. Liu Jian has lived a hard life and will not waste this hard-won talent. He has not thought about what to do.
But becoming a rich man is the constant goal.
Liu Jian's current plan is to become a rich second generation first, so that Liu Fu's career can be further improved and he can live a happy life longer. Then he must first change the status quo of Liu Fu being a contractor.
Liu Fu's current project is the drying tower of the Blackstone Grain Depot. He got it from the Grain Bureau through connections. The project is simple, the quality requirements are not high, and the payment is settled quickly. In the past few years, Liu Fu has relied on the Grain Bureau's
Live and prosper. But success is the same as failure. Liu Jian clearly remembers that in two years, the country will reform the food system, and the good days of the Grain Bureau will be over. Liu Fu is holding on to the last chance to get a handful.
With his own thoughts, he took on a big project, but the project payment of millions of dollars was delayed for more than ten years, and all the money of the Liu family was lost.
That day, Liu Jian followed Liu Fu for more than half a day to get 100,000 yuan. After working on the project for so long, this little money was not even enough to pay for the materials. Liu Jian couldn't understand it.
Liu Jian asked: "Dad, why is it so difficult to get money? The project is almost half done, what can they do with this little money?"
Liu Fu smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Jian, you don't know many things. You think it's easy for a contractor to make money. In order to get money, your dad and I have always begged grandpa and sued grandma. What your dad is most afraid of is having to pay.
.”
Liu Jian remembered what Liu Fu said occasionally after his business failed in his previous life, and he suddenly had an idea and asked: "Dad, what are you going to do with the money?"
Liu Fu said: "Of course we will take it back to pay the workers' wages. If we can delay the payment for materials, we can delay it for a while. If not, we will bring some money."
Liu Jian smiled bitterly. It was indeed what his father did and said, "Dad, is this a violation of business rules? I heard that those contractors only pay the workers after the project is completed."
Liu Fu nodded and said: "I know this too, but you also know that it's not easy for those who work part-time. Their families are just pointing their fingers at the money. I can't do such a thing!"
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Dad, my family has paid a lot of money for this project so far. Now the 100,000 yuan is not enough to fill our hole, you still have to use it to pay for the workers? Has dad calculated the cost of this project?"
How much is the interest, and if you take out a loan, how much will our family have to pay?"
Liu Fu frowned. Money has been easy to earn these years. Although it is difficult to get money, it will come sooner or later. Liu Fu didn't realize the difference in interest at all. After listening to Liu Jian's words, Liu Fu did a mental calculation and concluded
The figures that came out shocked Liu Fu himself.
When Liu Jian saw Liu Fu's expression, he knew that Liu Fu was frightened by the huge interest rate, and then said: "Dad, you are just using your own money to spend it on others. Who doesn't count these accounts? Otherwise, it's just like this
What are the rules?"
Liu Fu's expression changed and he said, "Then what do you think we should do? I've been doing this all these years. Do I just want to change? What if they make a fuss and stop working?"
Liu Jian said: "Dad, this is what you do. I don't believe that their family doesn't even have money for food. Other construction sites pay wages at the end of the year, why can't you? Besides, it's hard to find a three-legged toad. Two-legged toads are hard to find."
There are things that people with two legs don’t have. They don’t want to work, but they do want to do it. Why don’t other construction sites worry that no one will work, because everyone knows that there are plenty of workers.”
Looking at Liu Fu who was stunned there, Liu Jian knew that Liu Fu had a kind heart and could not bear to see the pity of others. But when it came to money, Liu Jian felt that he had an obligation to remind Liu Fu. After all, it was also related to his future happiness.
Life.
Liu Jian went on to say: "Dad, you may not think it's a big deal to break this business rule. You will suffer a little loss, but the money is not a small amount, and no one will appreciate your benefits. To be more realistic, these workers remember you
What's the use of being good? If you don't have any projects for them to do, will they still remember you?"
Liu Fu wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Yes, one day, would it be useful if they didn't remember it?
Liu Jian said: "Dad, let's not talk about anything else. Which of the contractors has less money than you, and which one has done this? Realistically, you have broken the rules, and who will cooperate with you? I will follow you here these days.
Run away, if you don’t tell me, I’ve discovered it. No contractor has a good relationship with you, and no one has ever cooperated with you. Why, the source is right here.”
Liu Fu was speechless. He didn't expect that the good thing he thought he had done would have so many disadvantages. Many problems that he couldn't figure out before were now solved.
Where Liu Fu was sitting, he lit a cigarette and started smoking. Looking at his son who lowered his head to eat, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Liu Fu asked: "Xiaojian, you have said so much, what do you think?"
Hearing Liu Fu's question, Liu Jian finally let out a sigh of relief, which showed that Liu Fucheng really listened to his words.
I thought that if I made this suggestion, I don’t know how many people would scold me in the future. I shook my head and brushed this idea aside and said, "Dad, my opinion is that we should also start to delay the wages of migrant workers."
Liu Fu was stunned when he heard his son's serious opinion. He was mentally prepared that Liu Jian's idea must be this. However, Liu Fu had served as a soldier and was a very upright man. He was not suitable for the construction industry. This industry
You have to have a dark heart. The darker your heart, the more you can earn. Liu Fu didn't do it in his last life and collapsed within a few years. Liu Jian will never let these things happen in this life.
Liu Jian knew that his idea was a bit fucked up, but this was the best way at the moment. Looking at his frowning father, Liu Jian was also a little worried, so he picked up the Double Happiness that Liu Fu put on the table and ordered one for himself.
Liu Fu, who was thinking about something, saw his son puffing away skillfully at the side and wondered when did this boy learn to smoke.
Liu Jian looked at Liu Fu who was worried, thought for a moment and said: "Dad, if you really can't be cruel, just give them twenty or thirty thousand yuan. The project will be slowed down for a few days, and the materials will not be brought in."
Come on, you will go to the Grain Bureau to ask for money in a few days. When we have paid off all the early project payment, we can start working on it. It doesn’t matter if the project is slower. You can increase the budget and chase more budgets. Isn’t it true that we will make more money?
Is it much?"
Liu Fu still couldn't accept it, and frowned and said: "Xiao Jian, isn't this bad? I don't know how many people scold me?"
Liu Jian said: "Dad, do you think it is more important to be scolded or to make money? Everything is fake, only the money you get is real."
Liu Fu was speechless at this time. Although he couldn't accept it in his heart, his reason told him that what Liu Jian said was correct.
During the lunch meal, the father and son had no chance to eat anything. Liu Fu's mind was filled with what Liu Jian said. Looking at the 100,000 yuan in his hand, he knew that he could never do what he did before. Liu Fu was kind and not a fool.
That afternoon, Liu Fu paid a salary of 20,000 yuan to the workers at the construction site. There was no trouble as expected, and no one came after him. Looking at the workers who continued to work, Liu Fu was deeply moved.
I felt how correct my son's opinion was, and then I realized that I might have been a fool in the eyes of the workers all these years.
When Liu Fu came home in the evening, he was very drunk. After listening to Liu Jian's story, Liu's mother didn't say anything. She had been dissatisfied with Liu Fu's behavior over the years, but Liu's mother had been taking care of Liu Jian's daily life at home.
I didn't have much say in work matters. I tried to persuade him a few times but it didn't work, so I stopped talking. Unexpectedly, my son was so powerful that he persuaded Liu Fu in just a few days.
This kind of change was what Liu Jian met. In the previous life, Liu Fu left a good reputation but nothing. When Liu Fu ran out of projects, the workers disappeared without a trace. It was of no use to them.
Liu Fu quickly returned to normal, and no longer hid many things from Liu Jian, and began to treat Liu Jian as an adult. Liu Fu asked for money several times, and Liu Jian accepted it, and took the time to say to Liu Fu: "
Dad, let’s think of a way and ask the grain depot directors to help us ask for money. I have seen several grain depot directors ask for money for their projects these few times. Why is no one coming to ask for our projects?”
Liu Fu said: "You don't know that those guys keep increasing the budget. A project worth 500,000 yuan has to be delayed for one or two months until it reaches 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. Those grain depot directors took advantage of the opportunity of the additional budget to make money from it.
You can get a lot of benefits, but your dad and I won't do this kind of thing."
Looking at the upright Liu Fu, Liu Jian was dumbfounded, right? Dad, what are you thinking?
Liu Jian really didn't know what to say to Liu Fu this time. If it had been someone else, Liu Jian would have pointed at his nose and scolded him: You're stupid!
Liu Jian rubbed his head and said: "Dad, think about it, we can get the project now because we talked to the food director. What if he loses it? Besides, the additional budget is neither your money nor your money.
It’s not someone’s personal money. Do our country, which is so rich, care about this? Besides, you are no longer a member of the public sector, as long as you can make money, that’s fine.”
Liu Fu snorted and said, "Making money is important, but you can't ignore your conscience."
Liu Jian smiled bitterly and said: "Dad, how can you say this is unconscionable? If you add more budget, you can improve the quality of the project. Besides, with the additional budget, the grain depot can also use this name to ask for more money.
, some belong to us, and some belong to the grain depot. These are all tacit secrets. That’s not what the contractor does. If you don’t give them this sweet spot, after a long time, who among the grain depot directors will still want to do the project for you?
, they don’t say anything with their mouths, but they don’t know how to scold you in their hearts!”
Sighing, Liu Jian continued: "Dad, if nothing else, what will you do when the grain director is really transferred? Can you still get the project without him? That grain depot is willing to do the project for you, dad.
Let's just follow the crowd and don't do anything unique. The only way to make a fortune is to make a fortune."
Liu Fu didn't say anything, but his confusion could be seen in his eyes. For an upright and kind-hearted person, he had to make all kinds of changes for money. I think his heart must be in pain at this time. Liu Jian looked at Liu Fu silently.
He felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. He knew that he was destroying his father Liu Fu's upright concept. It was cruel, but society is like this. If you don't change, you will be eliminated. If Liu Fu doesn't want to be eliminated, he must do something
make this change.
Looking up at the colorful sunset in the sky, Liu Jian was also confused. Where is his future?
