Zhou Wencheng answered Hu Yaomei, the foreman of his own greening workers: "We need to study this issue internally before we can reply to you."
Hu Yaomei, the foreman of the self-owned greening worker, was quite dissatisfied when she heard this answer. The anger in her heart rose slowly, and the aggrievedness in her heart made her feel that she was about to collapse: "Mr. Zhou, your Oriental Construction Co., Ltd.
, you should not do this.
It's a typical case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
You see, Brother Guang's people made trouble with you two days ago, but we didn't make trouble.
I'll listen to your advice and go back and wait until my wages are paid.
As a result, you paid Brother Guang’s wages yesterday.
Our wages are of the same nature as theirs.
Moreover, we have an even bigger difficulty. Our labor boss Zheng Hui has run away and cannot be contacted.
The master workers are very worried, fearing that Western Construction Co., Ltd. will make trouble and not pay our wages.
When I came today, there were already dozens of workers with nothing to do. The ones following me came to the project department.
If there is no reasonable solution.
The workers said that they might have followed Brother Zhaoguang's example and started making trouble.
There is only one purpose, which is to get your own wages.
I don’t want my hard-earned money to be stolen by your Western Construction Co., Ltd.”
Zhou Wencheng replied: "Hu Yaomei, don't worry.
It is impossible for our company to pay less than your salary.
It’s just that the internal management of listed companies is very strict and the procedures are a bit cumbersome.
Today, Mr. Zhao personally came to hold this meeting for everyone, in order to completely solve everyone's payment problems before the Lunar New Year.
I would also like to trouble you to do some ideological work with the workers and masters to comfort everyone.
No matter what, we will definitely pay you workers’ wages before the Lunar New Year.
In the past, I might have been worried that the company would not have the money to pay.
Now there is no need to worry at all.
why?
Because yesterday Huatie paid us more than 30 million yuan to the account of our Western Construction Co., Ltd.
Hu Yaomei, if I remember correctly, the salary of your greening workers is about 950,000 yuan, right?"
Hu Yaomei, the foreman of the own greening workers, replied: "Yes, thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your concern and remembering the amount of wages owed to me so accurately."
Zhou Wencheng replied: "Of course you have to remember it accurately, because you are not the only ones who want to get your wages early.
I'm also thinking about what I can do to pay you my wages as early as possible.
Let everyone welcome the New Year well and happily.
You have to see clearly that the 950,000 yuan you are short of only accounts for about 3% of the project money we recovered.
This ratio is not large.
The company will not stop paying you.
Just give us a little more than two days of buffer time, so that we can properly communicate with the company about this payment issue.
As long as it is solved in the end, wouldn't there be no problems at all?
You said, right? Hu Yaomei."
Hu Yaomei, the foreman of the own greening workers, replied: "Okay, Mr. Zhou, I was fooled into believing you again.
I will do some ideological work for the workers.
If you still can't get your wages after waiting a few more days.
Those workers are not that easy to yell at, and they probably won’t even listen to what I say.”
Zhou Wencheng replied: "I know."
Then he looked at the people behind and said: "As for materials and sporadic materials, professional subcontracting, it was the material purchasing king Ming who contacted you before.
Now due to job transfer, I am not very familiar with you all this time. The new business manager Yu Danzhen is not familiar with you either, and I guess I don’t recognize you all now.
But this does not affect your ability to express your opinions at the meeting.
I won’t introduce them one by one below.
Please briefly introduce yourselves and share your thoughts and requests.
Let’s start from the one next to Hu Yaomei, the foreman of our own greening worker, everyone, hurry up.”
After Zhou Wencheng finished speaking, he pointed with his palm to the person sitting on the left side of Hu Yaomei, the foreman of the greening workers.
"Hello leaders, I am supplying standard stone slabs.
My progress payment is not much, just a few hundred thousand, so I wonder if I can issue invoices earlier. Otherwise, if all my colleagues in charge of invoicing go home for the Chinese New Year in two days, we may not even be able to issue invoices.
from."
"Hello leaders, I am supplying special-shaped stones.
My progress payment is only a few hundred thousand, and my situation is similar to that of the brother who supplied the standard stone slabs.
People in the factory are going home for the holidays one after another to celebrate the New Year.
My request is also to ask us to issue the invoice as soon as possible. When you actually pay, we are embarrassed to force you to ask for it tomorrow today.
But, generally speaking, we still hope that the progress payment for materials can be paid to us before New Year’s Eve.”
"Hello leaders, I am supplying granite abutments.
The payment for my material progress is estimated to be between 20,000 and 300,000 yuan.
My request is to notify us as soon as possible to issue an invoice and pay us before the Lunar New Year."
"Hello leaders, I am a professional subcontractor, making stainless steel railings.
The progress payment is only 200,000 yuan, and I hope it can be paid within three days."
"Hello leaders, I am a merchant who supplies sporadic materials.
The difference is ten thousand yuan.
I hope you can pay me quickly.
With this little money, if I made more trips, my profits would be much lower.
A small business can’t stand the trouble.”
After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Someone was talking quietly.
"It's still a listed company."
“Bullshit listed companies are useless.”
"You won't pay anyone tens of thousands of dollars?"
"I don't know what the pig heads in this listed company are thinking."
"With such a small money difference, can we not let him attend the meeting at all?"
"Not attending the meeting?"
"It's easy for you to say."
"No matter how much the difference is, it's still a difference."
Zhou Wencheng reminded everyone to be quiet: "Keep talking, keep talking, and hold on tight."
"Hello leaders, I am a hardware supplier.
Give me twenty thousand yuan.
Maybe for you, it's not much different.
Many of the previous ones are hundreds of thousands or millions, and there may be tens of millions.
But my 20,000 yuan is the biggest single debt this year for my hardware store.
I hope the leaders will consider my difficulties and pay me the money as soon as possible in these two or three days, otherwise my wife will scold me again when I go back.
When one of you came to my store and asked for credit, my wife didn't agree.
I was blinded by the glorious appearance of your listed company. I never expected that such a big listed company would actually pay my hardware store 20,000 yuan."
"Hello, leaders, I supply sporadic materials and sell groceries, such as plastic basins, mops, brooms, etc.
The difference is only 4,500 yuan.
The price difference is probably the least in this conference room.
I'm embarrassed to say it.
Not only are you ashamed of my skin, but you are also ashamed of your listed company's skin.
My idea is to pay me the 4,500 yuan today and don’t make me make another trip.
I am also like this brother just now, and I have to be scolded by my wife.
The difference is that he hasn't started scolding me yet, while mine has been scolded every day since he found out about my credit card behavior.
What my wife announced was that on any day the payment is not received, she will be scolded until the payment is received.
So, I beg you all the big leaders, please do it.
Don't let me be scolded anymore.
OK?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Laughing and everything.
Laugh at those with little money.
"Oh, 4,500 yuan is a lot, but it's not enough for a meal."
"I have come to the conference to ask for every drop of money."
"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to speak."
"I would rather not have this money than ask for it like this."
"If you want this money, you have to do it quietly."
"The money is too little and it's so embarrassing."
He is afraid of his wife.
"These two idiots are worthy of a fight."
"The one in front is henpecked."
"Don't you think the latter one is more afraid of his wife?"
"The woman in front is so mean and wants to scold others."
"A fierce hammer."
"What?"
"Didn't you hear clearly?"
"Um."
"The woman in front didn't scold her even if she wanted to scold her."
"Um."
"The latter one is not about scolding the level."
"What's that."
"I was scolding from the beginning and kept scolding."
"oh."
"Tell me, which one has a fierce wife?"
"The woman in the back is mean."
"It's not ordinary, it's too fierce."
There are also various other types of ridicule.
"Oh, are you so cowardly?"
"Haha, two losers."
"Two living treasures."
"Can you bear being scolded every day?"
"Mostly they are crazy about being teased."
"If you were me, would you dare to scold me? Humph."
"You, oh oh hey, what's going to happen if I scold you?"
"Two slaps."
"You mean not only to be scolded, but also to be beaten?"
"No way, it must be slapped twice and slapped back.
Shut up."
"Blow, keep blowing, didn't you see that all the cows have run away?
Not to mention the cows, there are even bulls?”
"What you said is strange."
"That's right, explain, explain."
"That means that Xiazi not only likes to brag but also likes to bullshit."
"Do not know do not know."
"I seem to understand half of it."
"You two idiots."
"Haha, why do I feel like I understood it instantly?"
Zhou Wencheng really couldn't listen anymore, so he patted the table and said, "If you like to gossip, you can choose to go out and gossip.
Don’t affect everyone’s meeting.”
After finishing speaking, he glanced around the conference room and asked again: "Is there anyone who wants to go out?"
I thought that I couldn't let them really go out. In that case, there would be no way to talk about it, and others would just take advantage of it. How could I bear it?
After thinking about it, he quickly added: "No one wants to go out, right?
The meeting continues, and everyone continues to talk about problems and requests."
"Hello, leaders, I am the excavator master. Our boss is not here today and did not come. I don't know that there is a meeting.
If he knew, he would definitely participate in it personally.
Our family is very simple, just don’t bully our family alone.
If you want to pay, everyone will pay. If you don't want to pay, no one will pay. We are also very generous.
I just can’t bear to bully our family alone.”
Zhou Wencheng smiled and replied: "This wish has been fulfilled for you.
Right now, no one has paid, so there are so many people sitting in this conference room to discuss the issue of payment before the Lunar New Year.
However, we will continue to work hard and strive to pay everyone's project fees as soon as possible.
Okay, please continue with the rest."
"Hello, leaders.
I am a loader owner, and I have a machinery fee of hundreds of thousands.
My requirement is that payment must be made within three days.
Otherwise, my loaders will be parked at the gates of the construction site for you.
Not only have I helped you stand guard, but I have also provided free surveillance at your construction site.
At that time, only entry is allowed but no exit is allowed.
There's nothing I can do about it.
I hope that the leaders of Western Construction Co., Ltd. will think of a solution and come up with a practical plan.
Don't talk nonsense every day, thinking that we are stupid and easy to bully.
Although we are not as powerful as Brother Guang, the first two, we are not people who do nothing but do nothing.
If we have something to do, there will still be a lot of people around here who want to buy our respect."
Zhou Wencheng said: "Don't worry, we won't give you a chance to block our door.
The purpose of our meeting today is to find out the cause of the problem and find ways to pay you as early as possible.
Otherwise, one is that you may cause trouble and cause unnecessary trouble to us.
The second is that our own management staff are all outsiders and are anxious to go home for the New Year. However, if we do not solve your payment problem, it is obvious that we will not be able to leave the project department. We still have to hold our ground here.
Let’s talk about it later.”
"Hello, leaders.
I drive a forklift.
The difference is tens of thousands of yuan. If you pay it off before the Lunar New Year, I won't have any problems."
"Hello leaders, I drive a small four-wheeler to transport construction waste.
I was shortchanged by 30,000 yuan, and I requested that it be paid within three days.
My hometown is somewhere else, and I won’t even be able to buy a train ticket if I delay further.”
"Hello leaders, I drive a truck crane.
I have to pay 50,000 yuan, and I have to go back to another place to celebrate the New Year. I hope it will be paid in three days.
Otherwise, on the fourth day, I will follow the example of my brother just now and send you my crane to the east gate first.
If any of you want to go in or come out, you can.
I charge 100 yuan per person per time, 100 yuan for lifting in, and 100 yuan for lifting out.
If you keep refusing to pay me, I am a reasonable person.
After I collect the arrears of 50,000 yuan in this way, I will definitely leave immediately.
I promise I will never charge a penny.
I am a person who keeps my word, so you have to trust me."
Zhou Wencheng smiled bitterly and said: "I know everyone has worked hard, but I haven't received the money yet, so I feel a little dissatisfied.
normal.
If it were me, I would be the same way.
I understand everyone.
However, please take the overall situation into consideration. After all, Party A is not short of our money now.
If we block someone else's door, firstly, there is no legitimate reason, and secondly, it will seriously affect the relationship between our Western Construction Co., Ltd. and Party A.
Everyone, remember, don’t block the door. If you feel something is wrong, just talk to me directly.
I will do my best to serve you all.”
After Zhou Wencheng took a look at the conference room, he asked Zhao Manfu and replied: "Mr. Zhao, everyone has finished what they should say. We will discuss it before telling you.
Or should I tell everyone directly now?"
Zhao Manfu closed his eyes and thought for a while and then said: "We will discuss it internally."
Zhou Wencheng nodded and said: "This meeting has been running for a long time, so everyone will adjourn the meeting for half an hour and return to the conference room of the project department after half an hour.
Let us give you an opinion."
After Zhou Wencheng announced the adjournment of the meeting, several people couldn't help but rush out of the meeting room and ran to the toilet that was their dream at this time. It seemed that whether they accepted the payment or not was not that important anymore.
Zhou Wencheng asked Zhao Manfu: "Will we discuss it at the meeting later? Or in your office?"
Zhao Manfu said: "Internal staff should relax first and then go to my conference room to discuss."
A few minutes later, everyone gathered again in Zhao Manfu's office.
Seven people, namely Zhao Manfu, Zhang Yunqing, Zhou Wencheng, Xu Kun, Yu Danzhen, Yu Shengjie, and Li Xixuan, each pulled up a chair and sat around Zhao Manfu's desk.
Zhao Manfu said: "Everyone has his say. Xiaoli, you speak first."
Li Xixuan replied: "Mr. Zhao, I have no objection.
It seems that this matter is indeed too complicated and difficult.
I don't have any ideas.
The leaders have discussed it, and I will do whatever they ask us to do, and I promise to cooperate and do my job well."
Zhao Manfu laughed and said: "I don't have any idea, just this statement is fine.
This matter is indeed complicated and requires someone like Xiao Li who works seriously."
Zhao Manfu glanced at seedling purchaser Yu Shengjie and said, "Lao Yu, please tell me.
You are an old employee of the company.
How was it done at this time in the past?”
Seedling purchaser Yu Shengjie replied: "I have encountered such things in the past.
Later, when I had dinner with my boss during the Chinese New Year, he also told me this.
At a time like ours, when we have no money at all, how do you approve the fund plan?
Is there no way to approve it?
As a result, some bolder project departments informed the next company to issue invoices based on the reported capital plan.
The problem is that I issued an invoice but don’t have the money to pay it?
How to do it?
It depends on which project department has returned the payment, and we will pay more to that project department, but we must also intercept some of the money and send it out to support the payments of other project departments."
Zhao Manfu complained: "Lao Yu, does your statement mean that the problem cannot be solved and how to solve it? It actually depends on the wisdom of the project department.
Doesn’t it have much to do with the company anymore?
Right?"
Seedling purchaser Yu Shengjie replied: "This is the situation.
I read few books.
That is to say, the boss mentioned it, so I remembered it.
As for why we do this, I still haven’t figured it out yet.”
Zhao Manfu smiled and said: "I said, Lao Yu, if you had told me earlier, we wouldn't have been in so much trouble.
You see, we are now, one by one, on tenterhooks."
Seedling purchaser Yu Shengjie smiled and replied: "Why did you tell me so early?
