The conversation with Xin Chongyi allowed Shi Tao to confirm some bits and pieces of information that he had learned from the workers, and Lang Wei had his more ambitious plans for the overall development of the group company.

But in fact, although the scale has expanded, it has not been as good as expected, but it has made the development of inorganic companies more and more difficult.

For the future of the employees, whether it is the advice given by Xin Chongyi or the heart-to-heart conversation between Shi Tao and Nanping, every employee thinks about the same in their hearts, and the conclusion is basically the same, either resign or just mix it up.

The financial difficulties are felt from top to bottom.

The finance department of the Xixi Migration Company has been applying for a loan to a bank in Shanbei City for several months.

The president of the bank has visited the factory several times and said that it is about to be approved, but now the funds have not yet been in place.

There was one thing that Shi Tao didn't know at the time, which was secretly revealed by Matsu Zhimu at a certain opportunity later.

The difficulty of capital turnover directly led to the lack of raw material procurement and supply, and if the production was stopped because of this, Hu You felt that he could not explain to Lang Weipo.

After conspiring with Wang Feiren over the phone, with Lang Weipo's consent, the middle-level leaders of the Xiqi Company, including some high-level cadres of the inorganic company, secretly raised funds, ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands, to alleviate financial difficulties.

Lang Weipo's promise was to give them several times the interest rate higher than that of the bank, as an incentive for leading cadres to actively participate in it.

This is not only a tempting policy, but also a means of tying people down, and all leading cadres obediently obey orders.

Shi Tao didn't know about this policy at the time, and even if he knew, he had no money to collect, not to mention that he was not qualified enough.

At that time, this method was indeed very effective, solving the temporary production expenses, after all, the amount was still too small and the effect was limited.

A month later, the lack of funds is still an unsolvable problem.

The leaders who benefited from it were those who participated in it, and the interest they received was sometimes higher than the wages of the workers, and they were even complacent and felt that they had taken a big advantage, but they never thought that there would be a day when they would cry their noses.

The company's biggest debt was the amount of infrastructure payments owed to builders during construction.

The equipment is basically prepaid, and there is no problem of arrears.

After the construction was completed, the major builders demanded the arrears, and Hu You promised to give them money when the company was in normal production.

This made the builders later criticize that the Xiqi Company had been in normal production for more than two months, and only gave a small part of the construction money piecemeal, and most of them were still in arrears.

The construction unit came to collect debts many times and could not get the money back, which made the local builders extremely angry, and privately united to collect debts.

On this day, Shi Tao received a call from the doorman, saying that a truck had blocked the company's door. Shi Tao did see a car blocking the door through the window in the office, and hurried to the door to check what was going on.

"The two trucks stopped at the door and asked them to move away, and they said they were here to block the door. The doorman reported to Shi Tao.

Shi Tao hadn't spoken yet, and two people got out of the truck, and Shi Tao knew each other at a glance, and they were managers of two local construction companies.

"Hello two bosses, what's going on?" Shi Tao hurriedly greeted.

"Director Shi, we are here to block the door, we have already called Mr. Hu You about this matter, he knows, you don't have to take care of it, you can't take care of it. Manager Zhang said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, if you block our gate with a car, our car won't be able to get out, doesn't this make me embarrassed?" Shi Tao asked, frowning and embarrassed.

"The car, you can't get out, you can't get in, people can get in and out, and there is no problem with the bicycle to and from work entering the factory door. Manager Zhang pointed between the two cars.

Shi Tao saw that the gap between the two cars was about one meter, and people, bicycles, and motorcycles could completely pass through.

"If you have something to say, let's not take such extreme actions. You're doing this to make it very difficult for us to do things. Shi Tao said.

"I also hope that Director Shi can understand that we also have to do it as a last resort, and we have asked for money many times, and there is really no way. After negotiation, our seven units finally came up with such a bad idea, and if your company doesn't give an explanation, our car will not drive away. ”

Another manager Li handed Shi Tao a cigarette and talked about their helplessness.

"You see, I am responsible for the door, no matter what you do, the door is blocked and it is inconvenient to enter and exit, this is my responsibility. First of all, I still advise you to move away, you told Mr. Hu that it was your business. Shi Tao made his position clear.

At this time, the doorman received a call and told Shi Tao that the west gate was also blocked.

"It seems to be your masterpiece again, and there is no result today. Shi Tao smiled helplessly.

"Yes, today we came to four companies, each of which hired a truck to block the door, two cars at one door, just waiting for Mr. Hu to come to us. Manager Zhang said with a smile.

"Then if you insist on doing this, can I call the police? Shi Tao said to the two managers half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"You can call the police, we have no opinion. Manager Zhang had a calm attitude and did not oppose Shi Tao.

"Well, I also said hello to you, so that you won't blame me, and the leader won't blame me, you say yes. Seeing that they did not object, Shi Tao took out his phone and reported it to the local police station.

The police station was dispatched quickly, and the police car arrived in about five minutes. Captain Long was already very familiar with Shi Tao, and after a brief understanding of the situation, he said that he was helpless.

He was also familiar with the two managers, and after a few words, he drove away. Shi Tao saw that the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't control the matter, so he returned to the office building to find Hu You.

Shi Tao found that there were people watching through the windows in the office building and dormitory building, and pointed to the window of the laboratory on the first floor that vaguely seemed to have Chen Qian's figure.

When he saw Hu You in the manager's office, Shi Tao had not opened his mouth to speak, Hu You said that he already knew about it and talked to the county magistrate of Shannan on the phone. Let Shi Tao not have a conflict with the builder, and be entertained.

Shi Tao sent a bag of water to each of the two doors, saying that it was for the driver and the managers to drink. Manager Zhang expressed his gratitude.

At this time, Shao Ganggui came out, and everyone shouted Shi Tao from afar, so that Shi Tao didn't care about them. Shi Tao answered and went back to the office.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the county magistrate of Shannan came to the Xitu company, and the county magistrate's car could only be parked on the side of the road outside the factory.

Hu You summoned four construction company managers to the conference room, and the county magistrate of Shannan County held an on-site office meeting. Shi Tao also participated as the director of the office.

Manager Zhang of the four builders spoke on behalf of the four builders, and told the Shannan county magistrate from beginning to end that the Xiqi Company had failed to ask for the arrears of the goods for many times.

In particular, Hu You promised to give money after the production was normal, but now it has been two or three months since the start of work, but he has not seen the sincerity to repay the money, so he has to make this blockade.

The county magistrate asked the builders how much they owed them.

To the surprise of the county magistrate, no construction company could say how much it owed them, saying that it had not yet carried out the final accounts of the project.

Originally, Hu You felt that he was in a loss for not fulfilling his payment promise for the arrears, and he never said a word from the meeting until this moment, but when he heard that the project had not yet been settled, he had something to say in a flash of inspiration.

"Yes, the project has not yet been settled, and I don't know how much to pay you, and you don't know how much we owe, so how can you let me give you money, how much will I give you? ”

Perhaps because the Xitu Company was an investment project personally introduced by the magistrate of Shannan County, whether it was in the interests of Shannan County or his political position, he was somewhat biased towards the Xitu Company.

"Debts must be repaid, and this truth makes sense everywhere. It is also necessary to ask for accounts, and this is understandable. Your problem is that one party has not fulfilled its payment commitment, and the other party has been a bit extreme in its debt collection methods, which has caused adverse social impacts. "The county magistrate first played fifty boards each.

"The focus of the two sides now is that the builder says the builder doesn't pay, and the builder says they don't know how much they should pay. I suggest that the first thing you need to do now is to make the final accounts of the project and figure out how much you should pay before discussing the payment.

"If you agree, let's decide today, and since I'm here, there will be a result. The magistrate of Shannan County showed his attitude.

The four managers of the construction company discussed in a whisper for a while, and felt that the Shannan county magistrate was reasonable, so they unanimously agreed to make the final accounts of the project first, and then ask for the construction money after the final accounts were completed.

Hu You was happy when he heard it, it always takes a certain amount of time to carry out the final accounts of the project, at least for this period of time, there is no need to worry about repaying the project money, although sooner or later it will have to be repaid, and it can be delayed for a while. He was refreshed and agreed with the county magistrate on the spot.

In this way, the crisis of the builder's first blockage of the door was resolved, and after the meeting, the four trucks at the two gates also drove away.

Shi Tao found that Hu You was still really able to fool, and he not only fooled several builders from trial production to three months after normal production.

In today's crisis, he can fool the county magistrate, and when he basically has nothing to say, he can fool the county magistrate and drag it back for a while.

Thinking that Hu You can fool the county magistrate of Shannan, it is naturally not a problem for Hu You to fool Lang Weipo in ordinary times, it seems that he can be the manager of this company, and it is really not in vain.

After the meeting, Hu You first reported to Wang Feiren by phone about the crisis of blocking the door today, and told the Shannan county magistrate his opinion.

In the end, Wang Feiren decided to send professionals from the inorganic company to help the Xiqi company with the final accounts of the project.

Hu You was complacent about his luck, and when he told Shi Tao to prepare the accommodation of people from the headquarters in advance, he couldn't help but rejoice.

"It's really a blessed person who doesn't have to be busy, we can resolve this kind of crisis, you have a traffic jam, I have a delaying strategy. As soon as I heard them call and say that they were going to block the door, I was blindsided, and I couldn't make it stiff, and I didn't want to see them, and I had nothing to say when I met. ”

"After thinking about it, I still think that let the locals talk to the locals, and no matter how good the construction company is, it has to listen to the county magistrate, so I moved the county magistrate of Shannan here. How's that, okay? hahaha!"

Shi Tao also had to admire, the luck of the flicker was really good.

I just don't know if he will have such good luck in the next crisis.
