Chapter 112: Loyal Servant
Hua Kefang set up a ladder and climbed out of the courtyard wall.
He wore a large hat that covered his face, and walked along the road with his beautiful maids, but he was not recognized.
Hiding in the courtyard, Hua Kefang saw Qu Ziqing, the big shopkeeper of the factory, who was already waiting there.
Hua Kefang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qu Ziqing coming over.
Now the crux of the problem is that the factory has stopped production, and the big shopkeeper of the factory is here to figure out a way with himself, and there is still hope.
Qu Ziqing was also stunned when he saw Hua Kefang running away with the maid and not bringing his wife. But after all, he is in charge of the factory, and he shouldn't ask about Hua Kefang's family affairs, he just didn't see the maid next to Hua Kefang.
He stepped forward and said to Hua Kefang: "Factory director, what should I do now?" ”
Hua Kefang waved her hand and said, "Now I can't see people." As soon as I see someone, I will be forced into debt. It's up to you to step in next. The key now is that the factory can no longer be shut down, and the factory must be up and running, giving our creditors confidence. ”
Qu Ziqing was stunned and asked, "Factory director, what about the other member companies of the Chamber of Commerce that haven't started yet?" Now everyone is forcing the palace to be the king of Qi, shall we return to work first? ”
Hua Kefang was choked by Qu Ziqing's words, and her face turned red and white, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He has been driven crazy by the creditors who are forced to pay debts, and he has already lost his square inch. If it weren't for Qu Ziqing's reminder, he would have forgotten that he was forcing Li Zhi to stop production.
The members of the Fanjiazhuang Chamber of Commerce also have a gentleman's agreement to stop production together.
But even if Qu Ziqing reminded him to make him think of this gentleman's agreement, it was useless. He now does not have the courage to continue to oppose Lee Sik. He really underestimated Li Zhi's methods, and thought that he was facing a mortal star who was easy to talk to, and that he was facing a judge who could only talk about the law.
He didn't understand that Li Zhi came from the 21st century, where business competition was fierce. Before the crossing, Li Zhi didn't know how many kinds of struggles in the shopping mall he had witnessed, and how many business owners he had seen from being full of friends to having their homes destroyed. Hua Kefang had a smooth journey under the protection of Fanjiazhuang's legal environment, could he be Li Zhi's opponent who had seen all the business wars in later generations?
Hua Kefang understood that Li Zhi could ask for Hua Kefang's life with a slight pinch. He is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, where is the idea of continuing to fight with Li Zhi?
He is now full of regrets, regretting his recklessness in challenging Li Zhi.
If there was a regret pill to take, he would have swallowed it a lot.
Now everything is about protecting your business and keeping your life safe. What kind of discontinuation agreement, I can't care about it for a long time.
Hua Kefang smiled bitterly and said, "Big shopkeeper, I can't take care of that anymore." Now the banks and creditors have no confidence in us because the agricultural machinery factory has stopped production, and now the key is to resume the production of the agricultural machinery factory. ”
"For the next few months, I will hide in the courtyard, and you will take charge of the overall situation in the agricultural machinery factory and resume production. When you meet someone who goes to the agricultural machinery factory to collect debts, you say that all debts will be deferred for one year, and when the products of the agricultural machinery factory are sold, they will be repaid little by little. If they are still persecuted, you say that if the agricultural machinery factory is forced to go bankrupt now, they will not get a penny. ”
Qu Ziqing nodded.
But soon he shook his head again and said, "Boss, it's not so easy to resume work. We haven't paid our workers for a month and a half. Now there are rumors everywhere that the owner is going bankrupt, and people are panicking. If you don't pay the owner for a month and a half, those workers will not want to come back to work anyway..."
Hua Kefang frowned and asked, "What is a month's salary for a month and a half?" ”
Qu Ziqing said: "At such a critical moment, the wages of the managers can be in arrears, but the wages of the 3,177 workers must be paid in advance no matter what. The monthly wages of these workers ranged from 428 to 526 yuan, and 24,300 taels a month and a half. “
When Hua Kefang heard this number, she didn't speak.
Qu Ziqing said: "Owner, why don't you go and borrow a little silver from other businesses in the Chamber of Commerce to make a turnover." “
Hua Kefang smiled helplessly and said, "Now Li Zhi's newspaper is publicizing that I am going bankrupt, obviously our factory is being targeted by King Qi." At such a juncture, who will lend me money? Everyone is afraid that if the money is borrowed from me, it will be wasted, and now no one will do good deeds, and we will have to rely on ourselves. “
Qu Ziqing sighed when he heard this.
Since ancient times, there have been countless icing on the cake, but there are few that have been sent in the snow. The so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the drum broke through the 10,000 mallets, nothing more than that.
Hua Kefang said: "Don't be afraid, fortunately, there are still 25,000 taels of silver in my family's warehouse." The second uncle said that he would secretly let someone transport the silver to me tonight. As soon as the money arrives, you will transport it to the factory, pay the workers a month's money, and get the factory up and running. “
Qu Ziqing nodded, and without further ado, he sat down on the first chair in the room.
Hua Kefang's maid was cleaning up in the kitchen of this annex, and when he saw the man in the hall quieting down, he filled two bowls of water in a porcelain bowl and brought it out.
Hua Kefang drank a well of water, pondered the situation for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Don't be afraid, there is still salvation!" “
"The raw materials in the factory are enough for three months, and 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 can't find me, and they can only wait for the agricultural machinery factory to make money and return it to them a little bit. “
Qu Ziqing said: "The owner, the key now is whether the more than 20,000 taels of silver can be shipped out. If it can't be shipped, it's all over. “
Hua Kefang laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, shopkeeper." The second uncle is an old man who has been with me for more than ten years, he is my daughter-in-law from the Xu family to help me take care of the accounts, and he is a loyal servant of the Xu family..."
Hua Kefang said and spoke, and suddenly opened her mouth wide to look 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 is the person from the Xu family who sent his wife, and he is loyal to the Xu family. And Hua Kefang faced forced debts this time, but gave up his wife Xu.
He threw Xu at home to face the fierce creditor, and he might even be injured and killed by the creditor. He offended the king of Qi, and the second uncle, who couldn't see hope, would really desperately keep the treasury silver and transport the silver to himself?
Hua Kefang's face suddenly turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back for no reason.
At the door of the courtyard, one of Hua Kefang's servants suddenly stumbled in.
"Sir! Master! Mrs. took the second uncle back to Xu's hometown! “
Hua Kefang slammed the porcelain bowl in his hand to the ground.
"Where is the silver in the treasury?"
"The silver was distributed by the second uncle to the creditors who came to collect debts."
