Chapter 82: The Unexpected
Seeing that Li Xin didn't speak, Gao Hui changed the topic again: "Is there any new information about the merger of the company and the Southern Group?"
Li Xin said: "General Manager Ma Tianming will not meet a veteran, and no one will be seen, so how can there be any new news." ”
The two issues that Gao Hui inquired about are currently the most concerned issues within the company.
The sugar company has been unable to carry out its business for several months, the company has no source of profit, and the income of employees has dropped significantly.
Many people in the company are in a similar situation to Gao Hui, and not long ago, everyone was facing the problem of having a hard time finding both work and housing. Now, the housing reform policy is about to be implemented, the company will be merged, and the problems of work and housing will hopefully be solved in the near future.
Everyone who has been wandering and struggling in confusion for a long time has been talking for a while, and they are full of yearning for the future.
Seeing the hope in front of him, Gao Hui is now determined, and he no longer has to be busy looking for a job, but he doesn't know what the business of the new company will be in the future, and he doesn't know if he will be arranged to work in the factory below.
After all, the mining area and smelter of the Southern Group are hundreds of kilometers away from Jiangcheng, and if you work there for a long time, you will definitely spend more time away from home than when you go out to sell cane sugar in the sugar company.
"You said the company wouldn't let us sell copper in the future, right?"
Li Xin said: "It is completely possible to do sales, and the Southern Group produces copper." However, I think it is okay for our company to sell copper, and it may not be reliable to produce copper in the mines or smelters below, and I don't think they will do it. ”
Gao Hui sighed and said: "It's hard to say, you can't help yourself when the time comes, you have to look at other people's faces, and you have to go wherever others arrange you to go." Eh, I don't think we're like captives with guns, slaughtered by others!"
Gao Hui was in a sad mood when he said this, but at this time, Li Xin was completely unaffected by the current situation of the sugar company, and he couldn't feel his mood.
He listened to Gao Hui's words, smiled and joked: "Your analogy is really vivid, who let our city be captured by others? They are the occupying army and have the power of life and death, and if they don't slaughter the city for three days, they will already be considered merciful." ”
He pointed at Gao Hui and Xia Xiaona with his hand and said, "Otherwise, a strong laborer like you will be captured and sent to the bitter cold land outside the fortress to do hard labor, and women like Xia Xiaona will all be taken back to the camp." ”
Gao Hui was amused by Li Xin's words, Xia Xiaona saw that Li Xin had a rare joke topic to her, pretended to be angry and glared at Li Xin, and said coquettishly: "What are you talking about? Which one is this talking about, the Qing soldiers entering the customs?"
Li Xin saw that Xia Xiaona was not angry, and continued to joke: "You say which one is which, anyway, seeing that this city is about to be broken, you big girls and little daughters-in-law should be careful." ”
Xia Xiaona also had a rare opportunity to make a joke about Li Xin, so she took Li Xin's army on this topic and said: "If we all ended up like this, you would have been dragged to the head of the city to show the public!"
Li Xin said in a sneering tone: "That's not it, on the day the city is broken, I will unveil the pole and raise the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and I will never be a prisoner!"
Xia Xiaona laughed when she heard this: "If that's the case, I will call on the people of the whole city to eat pot pulp and support the righteous army!"
Li Xin clenched his fists with both hands, as if he was really a general on a horse, and said in a tone of Nianbai: "This is very good, very good! ”
After he said this, the three of them burst into laughter, causing people passing by in the corridor to poke their heads into the hall to take a look.
In the past few months, the employees of the sugar company have been depressed and the company is dead, and this kind of laughter and laughter seems very unusual.
Li Xin, who was frustrated in the love field, was proud of the spring breeze in the workplace.
The price of the sugar futures he holds has risen by more than 4,300 yuan, and this price has reached the target he set at the beginning.
But after thinking about it, he decided to hold it for a while.
It is only the end of April, and with the current momentum, the shortage of cane sugar in the province will continue to ferment in the next three or four months, and the price will have room for further increases.
In the director's office of the Zhulin Sugar Factory, Wang Dong was smoking with his head down. Recently, watching the price of sugar rise slowly, his mood is mixed.
At present, the sugarcane in the sugarcane fields has basically been harvested, and there is no raw material, and the factory cannot produce sugar. Most of the sugar that was produced before was sold out when the price was not high, and now there is very little stock in the warehouse.
If you keep a little more sugar this year like last year, you will make a lot of money now, and the price of those sugars at the beginning of the crushing season is too low, and it is a pity to think about it now.
In addition, there is another thing that makes him very unhappy: Ma Tianming's payment has not been heard back until now. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had fallen for Ma Tianming.
He picked up the phone and called Zhang Erga, the head of the sales section: "Erga, you come over." ”
After a while, Zhang Erga, the head of the sales section, hurriedly came to Wang Dong's office: "Factory director, are you looking for me?"
Wang Dong had a cigarette in his mouth, and one eye was squinted by smoke.
He raised his head, dodging the rising smoke in front of him, and said, "What's going on with Ma Tianming's payment, why hasn't there been any movement until now?"
Zhang Erga was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: Didn't you negotiate with Ma Tianming that the account would arrive in the middle of next month? Why did you suddenly ask about this again, is the factory director confused?
But he didn't dare to pick it out, so he could only follow Wang Dong's meaning and say: "Yes, it's almost May, and he hasn't contacted me, I don't know what the hell he's doing!"
Wang Dong took down the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, rubbed his eyes, and said, "MD, Ma Tianming is playing with us, you go up tomorrow and ask for the money back!"
Zhang Erga said: "Okay, I'll go up tomorrow." ”
Wang Dong said: "I don't care what method you use, as long as you don't cause trouble, you must get the money back, or if you don't come back, don't come back!"
Zhang Erga said confidently: "Factory director, just listen to the good news." ”
Zhang Erga was just about to leave, but Wang Dong said again: "If he doesn't have money, he can get the sugar back." ”
Zhang Erga asked a little strangely: "Factory director, wasn't this candy sold by Ma Tianming?
Wang Dong said: "He said that he would sell it, do you believe it? Why don't you pay back the money after selling it?"
Zhang Erga said: "No, factory director, isn't it troublesome for us to ask for sugar? We have to go back and forth, and it's troublesome, isn't it just right that he can give money?"
Wang Dong scolded: "You lack the eyes of the heart!"
Zhang Erga was scolded by Wang Dong so that the second monk was confused, standing at the door scratching his head, not knowing what to do.
Wang Dong said: "Let me ask you, how much did you sell him a ton of sugar?"
Zhang Erga said: "More than three thousand seven hundred." ”
Wang Dong nodded and said, "How much is the price of sugar a ton now?"
Zhang Erga said: "More than 4,300." ”
Wang Dong said, "Do you want to understand?"
Zhang Erga was nervous by Wang Dong's scolding, and Wang Dong's urgent questioning made his head stunned, and he still didn't react.
Wang Dong scolded: "You idiot! If you ask for money, he will pay you more than 3,700 yuan for a ton of sugar, and even if you add two months of bank interest, you will get back less than 3,800 yuan for a ton of sugar." If you can get the sugar back, sell it for 4,003 per ton, and make 600 per ton! Alas! Don't do it, you sales chief, when this is over, you can burn the boiler!"
Zhang Erga suddenly realized, raised his thumb and said: "Factory director, you are really a genius! I will definitely follow you to learn hard!"
Wang Dong was very comfortable by his sycophant, but he didn't show it at all on the surface, still maintaining his majesty in front of his subordinates, waving his hand and saying, "Go, go, go." ”
Zhang Erga agreed, and asked cautiously: "Factory director, what about the boiler......
Wang Dong originally wanted to scare him, but he didn't really plan to do that, but at this time, seeing that the intimidation had played a big role, he didn't break it, but just said: "Let's get things done first." If things go well, continue to be your sales chief. If things go wrong, you know the consequences, don't let me say more, report to the boiler room yourself. ”
Zhang Erga nodded and said, "No problem, factory director, I must take care of things for you!"
Wang Dong said uneasily: "Tell me, how did you understand the leader's intentions?"
Zhang Erga blinked and said, "As long as you don't make trouble, you can use all means to get the money back, and if you don't have the money, it's okay to get the goods back." Isn't it, Director?"
Wang Dong emphasized: "I went in the name of asking for money, but the focus is on the goods, and if there is no goods, I want money, understand?"
Zhang Erga said: "Understood!"
Wang Dong thought for a while, and then said: "Ma Tianming is very ghostly, I estimate that it is more difficult for you to ask him for goods than for money." In this way, if he is not willing to return the goods to us, but only to give money, then he will not talk to him about any bank interest, and the price of each ton of sugar will be added to two hundred yuan. ”
Zhang Erga said: "Factory director, will he be willing to do it?"
Wang Dong said: "He definitely doesn't want to, you have to ask him for it!"
Zhang Erga said embarrassedly: "Then what if he comes out with the contract and is unwilling to add money?"
Wang Dong said: "It's better to take out the contract, what is the payment deadline stipulated in the contract? He has exceeded the payment time for so many days, and he is the first to breach the contract, and we are not afraid of going anywhere." ”
Zhang Erga said: "Okay, factory director, I know what to do." ”
The reason why Wang Dong put Zhang Erga in such an important position is that this person is obedient.
Wang Dong calculated very clearly in his heart that Zhang Erga's shrewd head was not a big problem, what he wanted was Zhang Erga's loyalty.
At the wine table, he asked Zhang Erga to drink as much as he wanted, and Zhang Erga never discounted it. The things explained at work, as long as he takes more trouble to explain them clearly, Zhang Erga will be like a pawn crossing the river, and he will keep rushing forward.
He can rest assured that such a person will not have to worry about unexpected incidents.
He doesn't need their minds to be too smart, and those who are too smart will be difficult to navigate.
Talents like Zhang Erga are the best, and as long as their minds are enough, they can fully realize their potential.
