Liu Zhongzhou then instructed: "After they come up tomorrow, you should hurry up and contact the sugar company to implement the matters I just said." ”

Jiang Hua said, "Okay. ”

In the Zhulin Sugar Factory, Wang Dong, the factory director who had just come out of the canteen, sat in the garden under the office building basking in the sun, and his mood was a little complicated.

When the price of sugar skyrocketed last year, I stockpiled my own goods, and when the price fell later, I still had a lot of sugar in my hand that I couldn't sell, and I made a lot of money.

This year, the price of sugar is not good, and the factory does not dare to press the goods, and the sugar produced is sold on the market. As a result, the price of sugar has risen from more than 3,200 yuan at the beginning of the crushing season to more than 3,900 now, but now there is not much sugar left in the factory, and what was sold at a low price before is counted as little as a lot of money.

It's really better to count people than the sky, this market, when it is reasonable!

When he saw the sales section chief coming over, he said: "You can make a phone call and contact the light industry supply and marketing company, what is going on with their payment? Why is there no news until now, and this is due in a few days." ”

The sales section chief said: "Do you want to find Ma Tianming directly?"

Wang Dong said: "You still call the business manager who came to pick up the goods first, Ma Tianming's shelf is very big, and if you call him, he may not recognize who you are." ”

The head of the sales section said yes and walked to the side to make a phone call.

After a while, he came over to Wang Dong and said, "Factory director, the other party said that the payment will take a while." ”

Wang Dong asked: "What's the situation, didn't he say the reason?"

The sales section chief said: "I didn't say the reason, but I kept emphasizing that there would be no problem with the payment, but the time should be delayed." ”

Wang Dong frowned and asked, "How long is it delayed?"

The sales section chief replied: "He didn't say the specific time, and he couldn't be sure." ”

Wang Dong was a little angry, and said: "Look at your phone call, you didn't ask anything, it's the same as if you didn't call! You call Ma Tianming directly, and I'll tell him." ”

The sales section chief dialed the phone, handed it to Wang Dong and said, "Factory director, it's through." ”

Ma Tianming was preparing to take a nap at home at this time, and when he heard Wang Dong's voice on the phone, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

For more than a week, he's been worrying about the sugar factory's calls for money like an insomniac worried about when the shoe upstairs will fall.

Now the shoe has finally fallen, but this is only the first one, and there will be more than two dozen to follow.

He cleared his throat and said with a smile on his face on the phone: "Director Wang, hello, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"

Wang Dong was in a hurry, so he didn't talk to Ma Tianming politely, and asked straight to the point: "Alas, it's so-so." Mr. Ma, when will your payment be remitted? I contacted your business manager just now, and he said that it will be postponed for a period of time, what is the situation?"

Ma Tianming said: "That's true, Director Wang, the sugar hasn't been sold out yet, and the payment may have to be delayed for a period of time before it can be given to you." But don't worry, there will be no problem with the payment. ”

Wang Dong said dissatisfiedly: "The time we set is to pay within a month, and the deadline will be reached in three days! You tell me now that you have to postpone it again, how long will it be delayed? This will be very difficult for me to do!"

Ma Tianming estimated the time in his heart, and patiently explained: "Director Wang, the time will be postponed for more than a month, until about mid-May. You can rest assured that during the postponement period, the bank interest will still be calculated. ”

When Wang Dong heard this, he was shocked and asked: "Whether it is counted as interest or not, and how to calculate it, that is another question! Will it be postponed until mid-May? What is the situation? I am still waiting for money in this factory!"

Ma Tianming's head is a little big, he has never encountered such a thing as being forced into a corner by others before.

He searched his stomach and searched for words to prevaricate Wang Dong and said: "We are really a little short of funds now, if we have, can I not give it to you? Don't worry, I will definitely pay you by mid-May, can you still trust me?"

Ma Tianming didn't say the last sentence, but when Wang Dong heard the last sentence, he chuckled in his heart, and his doubts became even greater.

Wang Dong has seen all kinds of dealers, and those who swear by gambling are often the most unreliable.

Ma Tianming: This is not going to be a debt, right? It stands to reason that it should not, just because the light industry supply and marketing company is a state-owned enterprise, he dares to send the goods to him without receiving the payment. If it were a private company, it wouldn't do it myself.

But now this situation caught him by surprise, and he had an ominous premonition, some accounts can be delayed for a month, and they will be delayed for a longer time, could it be that this account will also be like this?

Thinking of this, he said: "When you pick up the goods, let you pay after a month, which is already a big concession in itself, and now you are not cheating me?"

Ma Tianming comforted him and said: "Director Wang, you really think too much! It will not exceed the middle of May, and I will definitely remit the payment to you at that time." ”

Ma Tianming's words did not dispel Wang Dong's doubts, and after hanging up the phone, he said to the sales section chief worriedly: "You are like this, explain what you are doing, and you will go to the light industry supply and marketing company tomorrow." There are a lot of things that can't be explained clearly on the phone, and you can't understand them, so you go to their company to find out on the spot and see what the situation is. ”

The head of the sales section agreed, "Okay." ”

Wang Dong advised: "You have a few more eyes, ask on the side, and see if there is anything abnormal in their company." Talk to their business manager more, don't be serious, there are many situations that can be seen more realistically from small talk. You know what I mean?"

The sales section chief nodded and said, "Factory director, I know." ”

Wang Dong, who returned to the office, thought about Ma Tianming's words, and scolded himself in his heart: Damn! If it weren't for the fact that you were the general manager of the sugar company, why should I trust you?

At this time, he suddenly thought: Yes, Ma Tianming is the general manager of the sugar company, why didn't the sugar company buy sugar in his factory this year? On the contrary, the light industry supply and marketing company, which had never done the sugar business, was in the lead, and the company's first cooperation was so creditless.

Becoming more and more uneasy, he had a plan and dialed Lin Li's phone: "Manager Lin, what have you been busy with lately?

Staying in the office, the bored Lin Li said: "There's nothing to be busy with, it's in the company." ”

Wang Dong said: "No, will it take care of the business of other sugar factories this year? ”

Lin Li said: "No, isn't it that the company's business has stopped." If I buy sugar, why won't I look for you?"

Wang Dong was taken aback, and he leaned back in his chair and immediately sat up straight and asked, "Your business has stopped?"

Hearing Wang Dong's tone not like he was pretending, Lin Li also felt strange and said, "Yes, why don't you know?"

Wang Dong said, "How do I know? What the hell is going on?"

At this time, Lin Li didn't have the heart to cover up for the company, and said: "Didn't the price of sugar plummet last year? Our company lost a lot of money, and now it has no funds to start business." ”

Wang Dong asked in disbelief, "Really? Don't joke with me." He heard that the sugar company's business did not go well last year, but he really didn't expect it to be what Lin Li said.

Lin Li sighed and said, "Director Wang, how can I have the heart to joke with you." Besides, if this kind of thing isn't true, can it be used as a joke? If the people up there know I'm talking nonsense, they don't want me to look good, right?"

When Wang Dong heard this, he believed that what Lin Li said was true. He immediately asked, "Is Ma Tianming still the general manager of your company?"

Lin Li said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Wang Dong said: "He took a batch of sugar in our factory, do you know?"

Lin Li said: "I don't know this, when did it happen?"

Wang Dong reacted, and then said: "It's not in the name of the sugar company, it's in the name of the light industry supply and marketing company, a few hundred tons." ”

Lin Li said: "Oh, it's not strange, he is also the CEO of that company. ”

Wang Dong asked, "Is he in the company now?"

Lin Li said: "No, he said that he was sick and hospitalized, and he didn't come in for a long time." ”

Wang Dong asked, "When was the hospitalization?"

Lin Li thought for a while and said, "It was probably more than a month ago."

When Wang Dong heard this, he became more and more suspicious.

Extrapolating from the time, when Lin Li said that Ma Tianming was hospitalized, it happened to be when he went to his sugar factory to ask for goods, and he didn't show up in the sugar company for so long, but he was doing business outside in the name of another company, what kind of idea did he have?

Because he is the general manager of the sugar company, he believes him, but now the sugar company has suddenly become like this, and the funds for doing business are gone, and he, the general manager, is missing again, so his money will not really be wasted, right?

Hearing that there was no response on the phone, Lin Li asked, "What, are you looking for him?"

Wang Dongzheng was concentrating on his thoughts, and after listening to Lin Li's words, he directly said the reason: "The batch of sugar he took said that it was given to him for a month, and he would pay after it was sold." But now that the time is approaching, he said that funds are tight, and he will have to postpone the payment for more than a month. ”

Lin Li said: "There is such a thing?"

Wang Dong said, "It's true! I just called him." There has never been such a rule in doing business between us, it's all cash in stock, isn't it? But when he came to ask for goods, he said left and right, that is, he would pay after a month. Because I don't want many goods, and he is the CEO of your company, I can't wipe my face before I agree to him. But who would have thought that this is the case now, I'm really worried, can you help me analyze it and see if there will be a problem with this payment?"

After hearing this, Lin Li scolded in his heart: "Nima's, I thought that Ma Tianming was really hospitalized for treatment, but in fact, people have been busy with other companies' affairs outside for a long time." It seems that the sugar company has already dumped people, and the people up and down the company are still waiting here stupidly, what is this called!"

Thinking of this, he said to Wang Dong: "I can't say for sure, but if you're worried, let's go to the light industry supply and marketing company to find him and ask him face to face, after all, this is not a decimal, at least two or three million, right?"
