Chapter 688 Take yourself too much as a green onion
As soon as Zhou Wencheng and Zhang Yunqing left the gate of Jingchuang Group, Xia Houyue and the curly-haired workers gathered around them: "How is it? Have you received the payment?"
Zhou Wencheng proudly raised the A4 paper in his hand and handed it to Xia Houyue: "Open your eyes wide and see, what is this?"
Xia Houyue held the A4 paper with his hand, looked at it, and counted: "One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million."
Wow, three thousand six hundred and eighty thousand.
Wait, the payee is not your Western Construction Co., Ltd.
What kind of Huatie Company is it?
Mr. Zhou, that’s not right.
Is this list of any use to you?
It seems that our wage issue has not been resolved yet.
Otherwise, the workers are making trouble again in the project department."
The curling worker also came up and asked, "Boss Xia, what do you mean? Why aren't the payments they receive going to their own company?"
Xia Houyue replied: "Yes, it is Huatie, not paid to Western Construction Co., Ltd."
Zhou Wencheng explained: "Hey, Boss Xia.
I can’t believe that you have been working on this construction site for several months and you still don’t know about Huatie?”
Xia Houyue replied: "I have never dealt with Huatie, so I know a lot about it."
Zhou Wencheng said: "Huatie is a general contractor on the Nanshan project. We are Western Construction Co., Ltd. and we undertake the project under the name of Huatie. Do you understand?"
Xia Houyue replied: "Then why come to Jingchuang, not Huatie, but you, Oriental Construction Co., Ltd.?"
Zhou Wencheng further explained: "Huatie only raised 2% of the management fee of our Western Construction Co., Ltd., which is equivalent to just passing an account from him.
Of course, we do everything ourselves.”
Xia Houyue replied: "Mr. Zhou, no matter what you say.
I haven't read much, so I might not be able to understand it.
All we have to ask is when will you pay our workers."
The curly hair worker shouted from the side: "By the way, Boss Xia, you talked so much before, it's useless, it's nonsense.
The last sentence still applies.
Mr. Zhou, when will you pay our wages?
Brothers, I can’t bear it anymore in the project department.
I heard that more than 200 workers have gathered now.
You bastard Western Construction Co., Ltd., don't be so bold, thinking that our workers are a vulnerable group, so there is nothing you can do.
They don’t care about our needs at all.”
Zhou Wencheng patiently explained: "Brother, it's the end of the year.
The company leaders are all having a meeting.
The money will definitely be paid to you, but the time is not so accurate.
It's not paid now, it's just that the leaders haven't had time to review it yet.
Please wait patiently."
Xia Houyue got angry and preached: "Wait, wait, wait for the hammer, wait."
It’s been two days since yesterday. If you can’t even pay the workers 182,000 yuan in wages, why don’t you give them a hammer?
Let’s just go bankrupt and open a new company.”
Zhou Wencheng also replied angrily: "The company belongs to others, if we can't open it, how can we open it?
What does it have to do with you?
If you ask for money, just ask for money, and don't say useless words."
Xia Houyue replied: "You think I want to talk.
Pay us the wages immediately and we will leave immediately."
Zhou Wencheng smiled bitterly and said: "There is no problem in asking for money. I can't even wait for one day or two days."
As you have just seen, Jingchuang Group’s 3,680,000 yuan has been paid to Huatie.
If you really want to get your wages early, we shouldn't waste time here, it's just wasting time.
Let’s quickly find Yao Peng, the project manager of Huatie, the general contractor of the Nanshan project.
As long as he helps coordinate within Huatie Company, let Huatie pay the project payment to the account of our Western Construction Co., Ltd.
In that way, we, Western Construction Co., Ltd., will have enough money to pay all of you, and we will not be short of your wages at all.
I suggest you, Boss Xia, that you still have to persuade your workers to wait a day or two longer, and they will definitely be able to get their wages.
There is no need to take drastic actions and make everyone suffer.
At the same time, it also cuts off the path of making a fortune by continuing to do labor projects in the future.”
Xia Houyue said: "I also want to persuade you, Mr. Zhou.
Ask this curly guy.
When you get downstairs, ask Baldhead.
Let's see if they listen to me.
The dozen or so workers I employ now only care about money and not people.
They kept saying I was lying to them.
There is nothing I can do about them now."
Zhou Wencheng replied: "You don't have to answer me right away.
Think about it more.
Take the elevator downstairs.
Let's not waste this time here.
Not worth it.
Go, Go, Go.”
Xia Houyue asked unhappily: "What kind of bird language do you speak? You don't speak good Chinese."
Just pretend."
Zhou Wencheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't mean to pretend, it's just a catchphrase I use sometimes when I shout out in a hurry.
It has no special meaning."
Xia Houyue replied: "There is no need to explain it to me. Even if you explain it, you won't understand it and you won't be able to learn it."
Zhou Wencheng replied: "Are you sick during this period of time? I can't say anything that I don't mean."
Xia Houyue said dissatisfied: "Only Hammer is sick. I am sick. Do you have any medicine?"
Zhou Wencheng smiled and said: "Hey, I don't have any medicine.
But there is still money.”
Xia Houyue replied: "You have money, you still don't pay our wages, but you still have the nerve to show off here."
The two of them were walking in front of each other, while Zhang Yunqing and the curling worker were walking behind.
A few minutes later we arrived downstairs.
The bald worker representative waited for Zhou Wencheng to approach and said unhappily: "Mr. Zhou, last night, in the conference room, your tough, fat-bellied leader said he would pay us wages today.
We haven't been paid yet.
Some workers recognized by those workers have spread from person to person, and now there are more than 200 workers gathered in your project department.
I see, if you don’t pay our wages and resolve the public grievances, things may get worse.”
Zhou Wencheng explained patiently: "Brother Bald, we just asked someone from Jingchuang Group upstairs to transfer all the project funds of 36.18 million yuan to Huatie's account.
Now we have to go to Yao Peng, the project manager of Huatie, the general contractor of the Nanshan project, and ask them to forward the project payment to Western Construction Co., Ltd. within the company immediately.
This amount is three thousand six hundred and sixty thousand four thousand yuan.
Think about it, as long as the money arrives in our account at Western Construction Co., Ltd., we will have money to pay your wages no matter what.
Therefore, you must advise your workers carefully and never take any drastic actions.
Everyone waits for a day or two, collects the money happily, and celebrates the New Year happily.
Isn't this a bad ending?
There is absolutely no need to resort to clumsy and desperate methods to collect wages.”
The bald worker representative said: "Mr. Zhou, do you mean that your company really doesn't even have 182,000 yuan of money now?"
Zhou Wencheng thought: "We can't let them keep thinking that Western Construction Co., Ltd. can't even get out 182,000 yuan now.
If this is the case, it will inevitably cause panic among the workers and will only make things worse.
They have to understand the company’s practices.”
So Zhou Wencheng said again: "You guys always have a knot in your mind.
Now all five of you gather around.
Let me take a moment to explain it to you."
The bald worker representative said hello: "Everyone, come here quickly.
Mr. Zhou is going to speak."
Zhou Wencheng smiled bitterly and said: "Bald brother, there is no need to be so exaggerated.
I just want to tell you why you haven’t received your wages yet.”
The bald worker representative asked curiously: "Other than lack of money, what other reasons are there?"
Zhou Wencheng explained confidently: "It's really not the lack of money you mentioned.
Our Western Construction Co., Ltd. is equivalent to doing a second-hand project on this project, that is, a project that has been changed hands.
Normally, we at Western Construction Co., Ltd. only do first-hand projects, and it is impossible to do second-hand projects.
This is our company's first project in the Nanhai area to enter the market.
That’s why we agreed to this form of second-hand engineering.
Under normal circumstances, the review would take about a week for Jingchuang and at least three days for Huati.
If these ten days are used up, it is estimated that Western Construction Co., Ltd. will definitely not get the money before the Lunar New Year.
Do you all understand the meaning of this time?"
"clear."
"clear."
Zhou Wencheng continued: "Okay.
In order to ensure that our Western Construction Co., Ltd. can receive our project payment before the Lunar New Year, in this way we can solve the problem of wage payment for all migrant workers in this project, the payment of machinery fees, and the payment of progress payments to material suppliers.
question.
Otherwise, it won't just be a dozen of you who are going to cause trouble.
There will be more workers, machine owners, and material supplier owners making trouble.
Do you all understand this?"
"clear."
"clear."
Zhou Wencheng continued: "So, the company's requirement is that the payment of the corresponding receivables of 36.064 million yuan from the project department must not be started until the corresponding receivables of 36.064 million yuan are recovered to the company's account."
Xia Houyue asked: "You mean that your company did not pay us, a dozen workers, not because you don't have so much money, but because you want to help you pay money to Beijing while our workers are making trouble."
Chuang, give Huatie some eye drops and let them know that if the project money is not paid to your Western Construction Co., Ltd. in time, the workers will cause trouble and the problem will be serious?"
Zhou Wencheng replied: "Yes, that's what it means.
In this case, everyone can work together to perform the show.
Don't get too involved in the drama.
Otherwise you will hurt yourself.
Do you understand what to do now?"
Xia Houyue said complainingly: "If you had told me earlier, you would have harmed so many of our brothers, and I was afraid that you would run away.
Even when you go to bed at night, brothers are arranged to lay down on the floor and stand guard at the door of your dormitory.
If you make it clear, we can just show it off."
Zhou Wencheng said: "You may not know this.
The fake show must be done for real, so that the effect will be realistic.
If I tell you in advance, you may not pay attention, it will look too fake, and it will have no effect.
But now, your results have seriously exceeded expectations.
Hundreds of workers were summoned to the project department site.
From now on, you must slowly spread good news and tell everyone that Jingchuang Group has paid a large amount of money.
I heard it’s 36.8 million yuan.
Our wages will definitely be paid.
Just wait a little longer.
Isn’t it nice to go home and take a shower?
Have you remembered?
We need to take the initiative to spread some of the information I mentioned above.
Increase the workers' confidence that they can receive their wages smoothly, so that they will naturally stop making trouble.
Slowly it all dispersed.”
The bald worker representative asked with confusion: "Mr. Zhou, it was not easy for us to gather these workers together.
If you don't get paid, you'll have to work hard.
Now, you just asked us to evacuate the workers in just a few words.
What if I just can’t get paid?”
Zhou Wencheng asked: "Brother Bald, let me ask you, what is the purpose of you trying every possible means to organize workers to cause trouble in the project department?"
The bald worker representative replied: "Of course it's for wages?"
Zhou Wencheng asked: "Is there no other purpose?"
The bald worker representative replied: "There is no other purpose."
Zhou Wencheng replied: "Okay.
Since you have only one purpose, which is to get wages.
So, if your goal is realized today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, how much impact will these three time points have on you workers?"
The bald worker representative replied: “There is no obvious economic loss.
What may have a little impact is that some brothers are far away from home and it is difficult to buy train tickets."
Zhou Wencheng replied: "That means your wages will be paid to you today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It will have some adverse effects on you workers and masters, but these effects can be overcome and can be tolerated.
Right?"
The bald worker representative reluctantly replied: "Mr. Zhou, if you insist on saying that, I have nothing to say."
Zhou Wencheng explained: "I don't have to say this, but this is the situation.
Let me explain to you now, the impact on our company if we pay your wages today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.
First of all, the leaders of the company are not willing to pay you wages today. They just want to take advantage of you. If you don’t get your wages, you will be unwilling and take certain actions. If this happens, it will definitely cause harm to Jingchuang and Huatie.
Apply some appropriate mental pressure to help us get the project money back.
Secondly, we will pay you your wages tomorrow. If we succeed in collecting the money today, the company will definitely have no reason to refuse to pay you wages. Especially the wages of 182,000 yuan for you fifteen workers will definitely be paid to you tomorrow.
Of course, if the payment collection fails today, your payment will be artificially delayed by the leadership.
Our project department is only an executive level and cannot change the leaders’ decisions in this regard.
Do you understand this truth now?"
Xia Houyue nodded and said, "Now I understand."
The representative of the bald workers replied: "I'm confused, just let it be what you say.
I don’t understand it anyway.”
Zhou Wencheng continued: "The third thing is to pay your wages the day after tomorrow.
When we want to use you to put mental pressure on Jingchuang and Huatie, we cannot do it indefinitely. That will inevitably affect the serious resentment of these two units. If we offend them, they will often put small shoes on us in the future.
.
Therefore, no matter whether we can recover the project money to the company's account within these two or three days, I think the company will definitely pay you no later than the day after tomorrow."
The bald worker asked in disbelief: "Mr. Zhou, if you completely recover the project money in these two days, I believe you will have no problem paying us wages.
However, as you just said, you may actually not be able to recover the project payment within two or three days.
If this is the case, how will you pay our wages?
Are you sure you didn't mean to give us a bad look by saying this?"
Zhou Wencheng praised the bald worker representative and said: "Brother Bald, you are really smart. When you ask questions, you can also hit the key points to the point.
To put it bluntly, if we don’t receive the corresponding project funds for this project and want to pay your wages, then where will our company’s money come from, right?”
The bald worker representative picked his head and replied: "Well, that's what I mean.
It's just that I don't make it as clear as you do.
A leader is a leader, and the level of speaking must be a bit higher."
Xia Houyue was flattering him and said: "Brother Bald, I'm not talking about you.
What Mr. Zhou said was clear and clear.
If you look back and see what you said, it was confusing and it would be difficult for others to understand what you really meant.
You said that Mr. Zhou's speaking level is only a little bit higher than yours.
Oh my god, I've seen shameless people, why haven't I seen you so shameless?
Bald brother, you think too highly of yourself.
You treat yourself too much like an onion."
The bald worker representative’s emotional intelligence was not bad, so he took advantage of the situation and fell into a trap: “Boss Xia, you are right to criticize me because I have no self-awareness.
You shouldn't compare yourself with our bully Mr. Zhou.
Alas, this topic has gone too far.
Where did we just talk?"
Xia Houyue said: "When it comes to Mr. Zhou, he is very naughty."
Zhou Wencheng also happily continued: "Okay. Let's not talk about useless things.
Just now I wanted to explain where our company’s money to pay you comes from.”
The bald worker took the lead again and said, "Yes, yes, that's it.
I'm quite curious too.
Can your company do magic?"
Zhou Wencheng smiled and said: "Stop talking nonsense.
If you can do magic tricks, you can make money.
Then who would be foolish enough to choose to work on a project? It’s dirty and tiring all day long.”
The bald worker representative added: "That's right. If you can make money by doing tricks, you will definitely learn to do tricks."
