Hua Kefang set up the ladder and climbed out from the courtyard wall.
He wore a big hat that covered his face and walked on the road side by side with his beautiful maid, but no one recognized him.
Hiding in another courtyard, Hua Kefang saw Qu Ziqing, the factory manager, waiting there.
Hua Kefang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qu Ziqing coming over.
The key to the problem now is that the factory has stopped production. If the factory's boss is here to work with him to find a solution, there is still hope.
Qu Ziqing was stunned when he saw Hua Kefang running away with the maid without his wife. But he was in charge of the factory after all, and he shouldn't interfere with Hua Kefang's family affairs. He just pretended that he didn't see the people around Hua Kefang.
Maid.
He stepped forward and raised his hands to Hua Kefang and said, "Director, what should we do now?"
Hua Kefang waved her hand and said: "Now I can't see people. Whenever I see people, they will be forced to pay. Now it's up to you to come forward. The key now is that the factory can no longer shut down. The factory must
Get it up and running and give our creditors confidence."
Qu Ziqing was stunned and asked: "Director, the other member companies of the Chamber of Commerce have not started work yet? Now that everyone is forcing Gong Qiwang, why don't we resume work first?"
Hua Kefang choked on Qu Ziqing's words, her face turned red and white, and she couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
He had been driven crazy by his creditors who were pressing for debt, and he had already lost his balance. If Qu Ziqing hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten that he was forcing Li Zhi to go to the palace by suspending production.
Members of the Fanjiazhuang Chamber of Commerce also have a gentleman's agreement to stop production together.
But even if Qu Ziqing reminded him of this gentleman's agreement, it was useless. He now has no courage to continue to fight against Li Zhi. He really underestimated Li Zhi's methods and thought he was facing a
The talkative Xiamen Xingxu thought he was facing a judge who could only speak the law.
He didn't understand that Li Zhi came from the 21st century where business competition was fierce. Before traveling through time, Li Zhi had witnessed countless struggles in shopping malls and how many business owners had gone from being full of guests to destroying people at home. Hua Kefang was in Fanjiazhuang.
Under the protection of the legal environment, it has been smooth sailing. How can he be the opponent of Li Zhi who has seen all the business wars in later generations?
Hua Kefang finally understood that Li Zhi could kill Hua Kefang with just a pinch. Now that he was crossing the river like a mud bodhisattva, he couldn't save himself. How could he still have the idea to continue fighting with Li Zhi?
He was filled with regret now, regretting his recklessness in challenging Li Zhi.
If there was a regret medicine available, he would have swallowed it in large quantities.
Everything now is to protect one's own business and one's own safety. The suspension of production agreement has long been out of the question.
Hua Kefang smiled bitterly and said: "Big shopkeeper, you don't care about that anymore. Now banks and creditors have no confidence in us because the agricultural machinery factory has stopped production. The key now is that the agricultural machinery factory resumes production."
"In the next few months, I will hide in another courtyard while you take charge of the overall situation at the agricultural machinery factory and resume production. When you meet someone who comes to the agricultural machinery factory to collect debts, you will say that all debts will be postponed for one year until the products of the agricultural machinery factory are sold.
Go and pay back little by little. If they still force you, just say that if the agricultural machinery factory is forced to go bankrupt now, they won't get a penny."
Qu Ziqing nodded.
But soon he shook his head and said: "Boss, it's not easy to resume work. We haven't paid monthly wages to the workers for a month and a half. Now there are rumors everywhere that you are going bankrupt, boss, and people are panicking. Boss
If you don't pay these one and a half months' wages, those workers will not be willing to come back to work anyway..."
Hua Kefang frowned and asked, "How much is one and a half months' wages?"
Qu Ziqing said: "At such a critical moment, the wages of the management staff can be arrears, but the wages of the 3,177 workers must be paid first no matter what. The monthly salary of these workers is 4, 28 to 5 yuan."
The price ranges from 2 to 6 taels, and one and a half months is 24,300 taels."
When Hua Kefang heard this number, she didn't say anything for a while.
Qu Ziqing said: "My boss, why don't you borrow some money from other merchants in the chamber of commerce to make a living."
Hua Kefang gave a helpless smile and said: "Now that Li Zhi's newspaper is announcing that I will go bankrupt, it is obvious that our factory is being targeted by King Qi. At this juncture, who will lend me money? No one will
I’m afraid that the money I borrowed will go down the drain. Now no one will do good things, so we can only rely on ourselves.”
When Qu Ziqing heard this, he sighed.
Since ancient times, there have been countless icings on the cake, but few have provided help in times of need. The so-called wall can be knocked down by everyone, and the drum can be broken by thousands of hammers. This is nothing more than this.
Hua Kefang said: "Don't be afraid. Fortunately, I still have twenty-five thousand taels of silver in the warehouse at home. My second uncle told me to secretly have the silver shipped out to me tonight. As soon as the silver arrives, you can
Transport it to the factory, pay monthly wages to the workers, and run the factory."
Qu Ziqing nodded and said no more. He sat down on a chair at the bottom of the room.
Hua Kefang's maid was cleaning up the kitchen in this villa. Seeing the man in the main room quiet down, he filled two bowls of water in a porcelain bowl and brought them out.
Hua Kefang took a sip of well water, pondered the situation, and suddenly laughed: "Don't be afraid, there is still hope!"
"The raw materials in the factory are enough to last three months. As long as the factory is open and the agricultural machinery is sold to the market little by little, our business can be sustained. These creditors are not afraid. As long as I, Hua Kefang, hide, they will not be able to find me.
I can only wait in fear as the agricultural machinery factory makes a little bit of money to return it to them."
Qu Ziqing said: "My boss, the key thing now is whether the more than 20,000 taels of silver can be shipped out. If it can't be shipped out, it's all over."
Hua Kefang laughed loudly and said: "Don't be afraid, shopkeeper. My second uncle is an old man who has been with me for more than ten years. He was asked by my wife to come from the Xu family to help me manage the accounts. He is a loyal servant of the Xu family...
"
As Hua Kefang spoke, she suddenly opened her mouth and looked at the maid Qiaoyun in front of her.
He realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.
A fatal mistake.
The second uncle of the housekeeper came from his wife's Xu family and was loyal to the Xu family. However, Hua Kefang gave up on his first wife, Xu, when facing debt pressure this time.
He left Mrs. Xu at home to face the aggressive creditor, and might even be beaten to death by the creditor. He had offended King Qi, and the second uncle who saw no hope would really fight to the death to save the money in the warehouse and transport the money to himself.
Come here?
Hua Kefang's face suddenly turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back for no apparent reason.
At the door of the courtyard, a servant of Hua Kefang suddenly ran in staggeringly.
"Master! Master! Madam is taking her second uncle back to Xu's hometown!"
Hua Kefang dropped the porcelain bowl in his hand to the ground with a clang.
"Where is the money in the warehouse?"
"The money was distributed by my second uncle to the creditors who came to collect debts."
