Chapter 76: Thousands of miles away

The steel is finished, and new problems have arisen. The two cars that had been installed before had already set off for the company. The third car was loaded, and when it came to checkout, Nanping found that the payment in his hand was not enough.

The boss of the trading company insisted on paying the goods in full before releasing the truck.

Although Shi Tao and Nan Ping pleaded with the seller in every possible way, asking for the vehicle to be released first, they continued to collect money for the seller, and the seller's boss must insist on paying the payment first.

Negotiations between the two sides were fruitless, and the third car was not dispatched and was temporarily detained in the freight yard.

Shi Tao has no clever way to deal with this situation, that is, now the company's finance can rush to the bank to remit money, and the bank has already left work.

It seems that he is destined to not be able to leave today, so Shi Tao and Nanping went to the freight yard first to explain the situation to the driver and apologized to him, and the truck driver also expressed his understanding.

Shi Tao called the boss of the freight company again, although the boss of the freight company said that it was okay, but it was inevitable that he would complain, so Shi Tao had to listen.

You can only wait for the company's financial remittance to come the next day, and then settle the bill and send the car. There was no point in staying in the trading company any longer, and now that it was getting late, Shi Tao and Nanping went to find a hotel to stay in first.

After comparing the conditions of several nearby hotels, Shi Tao decided to move in with one.

Of course, the health must at least be able to pass Shi Tao's pass, and it must be relatively cheap, and the subsidy for two people is enough.

Under Shi Tao's arrangement, Nanping finally didn't live in the hotel that was even dirtier than the pig's nest.

Shi Tao took Nanping to dinner at a nearby restaurant. The task was not completed yet, and Shi Tao felt a little unhappy, so he ate a very sloppy dinner, ate a bowl of noodles per person, and went back to the hotel.

"Why didn't the payment for the goods be enough with the company's finances?" As soon as he entered the room, Shi Tao sat on the edge of the bed and began to question Nanping.

"I calculated, I checked with the trading company on the first day I came, and it should be enough, but I didn't think it was still enough. Nanping also sat on the bed opposite.

"How much is it missing?" Shi Tao handed Nanping a cigarette and lit one himself.

"One hundred thousand. Nanping took a hard puff of his cigarette and replied.

"How can it be so bad? Haven't you checked it?" Shi Tao doubted the accuracy of Nanping's check.

"Oh, now I remember. Didn't we later add the part of steel that we planned to buy in Shanbei City, I didn't count this. Nanping remembered where he was in and out.

"Even if you add that part, it's only more than 50,000, and it's not even less than 100,000! Think about it, are there other discrepancies?" Shi Tao felt that Nanping had not yet figured out the whole reason.

"Oh, by the way, and after I arrived in the provincial capital, the company called and increased part of the budget, and I found that there were no new varieties in this part, but only individual increases, and I didn't recalculate. Nanping added.

"Do you think those are worth 50,000?" Shi Tao was unclear about how much of the increased budget was.

"Because I don't think it's too much, I ignore it. Nanping lowered his head and smoked.

"That means there are still discrepancies, and this time I saw more seamless pipes. Shi Tao seemed to think of something again.

"Yes, there are indeed more seamless pipes this time. Nanping confirmed.

"You know that the seamless pipe is not fixed, which means that even if the trading company provides you with the weight, it is uncertain, and the tonnage can not be determined until the specific loading, which means that the amount of money you check is not accurate. Shi Tao analyzed.

"For this situation, I have a surplus, and each company has a few thousand dollars more. Nanping couldn't guess why.

"You must know that we have five loading points today, and if each one is a few thousand more, it will be forty or fifty thousand yuan. Got it, that's the problem. Shi Tao is more sure of his analysis.

After figuring out the reason, the two of them are no longer entangled. Shi Tao called Hu You overnight and explained the situation.

Hu You also sighed on the phone, as a leader, he always had to send an official authority, and he couldn't help but blame Shi Tao a little, "If you go, you will help, why didn't you find out this situation in advance? ”

"I didn't expect it, and I don't know anything about the company's budget increase. Another is that no one knows how much money is not loaded. It is normal for the total amount to vary, and besides, we purchase a large amount, and the surplus calculated at the beginning is too small to occur. A similar situation has occurred in previous procurement processes. Shi Tao explained to Hu You.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I'll continue to collect money for you tomorrow. Hu You didn't have a problem, and it would be useless to blame him.

After reporting clearly to the leader, Shi Tao was relieved.

"Accept this lesson, and if you have to purchase steel in the future, you must remember that the money you have in hand must be sufficient. It takes some meticulous work and accurate calculations so that you don't suffer yourself. ”

Shi Tao said to Nanping, complaining, but also pointing out the key to this kind of problem.

Nanping also felt that he could not send the car out in time due to his mistake, and felt sorry for Shi Tao.

The matter has been made clear, Shi Tao comforted Nanping not to be too entangled, the two chatted for a while, and then went to bed early, and there was something to do tomorrow.

The next day, the two of them woke up, had breakfast in a hurry, and then ran to the trading company again.

When it was time to go to work, Nanping made a phone call with the company's finance, and heard that the leader had not arranged the remittance.

Shi Tao felt that he had contacted Hu You last night, and he had also promised to send money, so it was inconvenient to urge the leader as soon as he went to work now, and asked Nanping to wait a little longer.

The two men had nothing else to do, so they sat on a bench outside the trading company and waited for news of the company's finances.

At nine o'clock, Shi Tao urged Nanping to contact finance, but the answer he got was still that the leader had not yet made arrangements, which made Shi Tao a little anxious.

Shi Tao called Hu You again, "Mr. Hu, have you said hello to the finance and asked them to remit money this morning?"

"I said it, I said it as soon as I got to work this morning, why haven't you remitted it yet?" Hu You was also puzzled.

"Anyway, it hasn't been remitted yet. Shi Tao said.

"Wait, wait, wait, now that you've told them, they'll send it, so be patient and don't be too anxious. Two cars have arrived at the factory last night, and now they are unloading, and there are materials to use, so I'm not in such a hurry, wait a minute!"

Listening to the tone, Hu You is not in a hurry now, and is still comforting Shi Tao.

Since the boss is not in a hurry, Shi Tao is inconvenient to urge, and it is very uncomfortable to sit here all the time. Shi Tao thought about negotiating with the boss of the trading company again and letting the boss let him go in advance.

"You see, we're still here, and we'll settle the payment for you as soon as the company sends the money. Do you want to be accommodating, let the car go first, we don't leave, okay?" Shi Tao begged the boss of the company.

"This situation was already said yesterday, and you don't need to say more today, we are dealing with each other for the first time, and we are not familiar with you. Our company's principle is to settle the payment and release the vehicle. This company is not my own, and I can't go against this principle, so please understand. ”

The boss of the trading company spoke kindly, but his attitude was still resolute, and there was no sign of relenting.

Shi Tao's repeated requests were still fruitless, so he had no choice but to continue to wait patiently.

It's close to noon again, Nan Ping seems to be very calm, except for the occasional cigarette with a blank face, there is basically nothing to say, and all his actions are now at the mercy of Shi Tao's arrangement.

But Shi Tao was a little anxious to wait, if the finance didn't send money now, they wouldn't be able to return to the company today, and they would have to stay in the provincial capital for one night.

Shi Tao urged Nanping to call the company's finance again. The reply said that there was no going to the bank today. This news made Shi Tao almost collapse.

Shi Tao called Hu You again, "Mr. Hu, now the finance has not gone to the bank at all, which means that they have no intention of sending money." If we can't remit the money today, the car can't go, and we can't go back. Now the car has been pressed for half a night, and people have already urged us twice to ask when we can let go. ”

"Oh, I've already told them about finance, there must be their difficulties, don't you know about this situation? Wait, wait. Hu You continued to comfort Shi Tao on the phone.

"It's okay to wait, but there are a few situations I have to make clear to you in advance, so that you don't have to blame us when you get to. One is that the time of vehicle pressure is uncertain, delaying people's business, and people say that they can't send the car freight today. Another thing is that if the company doesn't plan to send money, we can't leave at all, and if we want to go, we have to unload the company's goods, and we have to bear the handling costs. This will be made clear to you in advance, don't fail to report it when the time comes. ”

"Okay, okay, it's not as serious as you said, I'll give you another reminder, urge the finances. Hu You said hurriedly.

I don't know what Hu You said to the finance, anyway, when he just went to work in the afternoon, the company's financial cashier called Nanping and said that the money had been remitted.

Nanping and Shi Tao immediately went to the bank to withdraw money, and when they came back, they quickly settled the accounts with the trading company. When the two returned to the freight yard, the impounded vehicle had already been released.

Finally completed the task, Shi Tao and Nanping hurriedly took a taxi to the station, and took the last train of the day to go south and return.

On the train, Shi Tao received a text message from Chen Qian: The provincial city is fun, you are still happy outside?

The signal of the train passing through the cave is not good, and with Nanping by his side, Shi Tao was reluctant to call, so he replied to Chen Qian's text message: If you don't think about Shu, you only think about people, and you are not happy.

When the two of them arrived in Shanbei City, it was already late, and there was no bus back to the factory.

"What should we do?" Nanping has never encountered a situation where he has not returned to the factory so late, and now there is no car to ride, he really doesn't know what to do.

"In this case, depending on what you think, if you are going to go back to the company, you can take a taxi back or carpool near the station. There are carpools at this point, which are not more expensive than buses, and there are also tickets that can be reimbursed. ”

Shi Tao provided Nanping with a solution.

"There's another way, if you don't want to go, you can stay in the city. Guesthouses here are much cheaper than in provincial towns, and you can be reimbursed. If there is nothing else to do, you can take the bus back to the factory early tomorrow morning. If you have any other business, you can stay in the city tomorrow to contact the business. ”

Nanping is considered to have learned again, and he feels that Shi Tao's experience is indeed very precious.

In this case, there is almost nothing to do, there is no car back to the factory, it costs too much money to take a taxi, and I am reluctant to live in a hotel, and I am afraid that the company will not give a report, so I am in a dilemma.

Listening to Shi Tao's words, Nanping suddenly became cheerful.

"That's really the case. Nanping smiled, and the previous gloom dissipated.

"I don't care, what do you want?" Shi Tao asked Nanping.

"Let's go to the bus station first and see if there is a carpool, and if there is, we will go back first." "What Nanping wants to adopt is the most cost-effective method.

When the two arrived at the bus station, they were lucky, and after waiting for about half an hour, they really built a van and pulled them directly to the factory gate.
