Chapter 617: The Mountains and Rivers Are Exhausted
Half an hour later, Hua Borong walked into Huabao Building, and the first thing he saw was Fang Ming sitting in the hall, his eyes lit up, his face showed joy, and he walked quickly towards Fang Ming.
Hua Borong saw Fang Ming, and Fang Ming naturally saw Hua Borong, but seeing Uncle Hua's current appearance, the cold in Fang Ming's eyes was a little stronger.
In just one year, Uncle Hua's whole person is no less than ten years older than last year, with gray hair, and the whole person has lost the spirit of a year ago.
Although Uncle Hua also had gray hair a year ago, and there were also wrinkles on his face, but at that time, Uncle Hua's hair was baked with oil, which looked oily and shiny, and there were not many wrinkles on his face, although he was in his fifties, he looked almost like he was in his early forties, but now he almost caught up with the old man in his sixties.
"Fang Ming, why don't you tell Uncle Hua as soon as you return to China, Uncle Hua, I will arrange to pick you up. ”
Hua Borong glanced around the hall, and then said, "Let's go, your aunt misses you very much, and she has already started to arrange wine and food, let's talk as we walk." ”
Fang Ming sighed slightly, sure enough, as he expected, Uncle Hua didn't want to let himself know about the trouble he was encountering, this was because he was afraid that a creditor would come to the door, so he planned to take himself out of here first.
"Okay, I miss my aunt too, but I'm going to go to the backyard to worship the master first, oh yes, this little girl's name is Alice, and she is an orphan I raised abroad, and I brought it back together. ”
Fang Ming introduced Alice, Alice had already received Fang Ming's orders, smiled sweetly, and shouted crisply: "Hello uncle." ”
"Hey, Alice is good!"
Hua Borong agreed, although he was a little puzzled as to why Fang Ming would adopt an orphan abroad, but he also knew that now was not the time to ask these questions, so he nodded immediately, "It is appropriate to worship Engong." ”
Hua Borong opened the door at the back, and Fang Ming walked in with Alice, but when he entered the door, Fang Ming asked casually, "Uncle Hua, have you contacted Ms. Ling?"
Hearing Fang Ming's words, Hua Borong was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Some time after you left, Ms. Ling asked where you went, according to what you explained, I told Ms. Ling that you had something to go out for, and then Ms. Ling didn't ask me, and I didn't take the initiative to contact Ms. Ling." ”
Fang Ming nodded slightly, as he guessed, although Uncle Hua was in trouble, he didn't think about asking his biological mother for help, otherwise, with the financial resources that his biological mother had, these troubles that Uncle Hua encountered were nothing at all.
In the backyard, the portrait of Master Fang Ming was still hanging there, but Fang Ming was not in a hurry to light incense and worship, but stood in front of the portrait of his master, and Alice was also very well-behaved, so she stood aside silently.
Hua Borong took out his mobile phone from time to time to check the time, and after a few minutes passed, he saw that Fang Ming was still motionless, and said a little anxiously: "Fang Ming, your aunt's meal is already in Zhangluo, we have to hurry up and pass, the late meal will not taste good if it is cold." ”
Hearing Hua Borong's words, Fang Ming's eyes were full of meaning, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Hua, don't worry, I haven't seen my master for almost a year, tell me what I think in front of the master's portrait." ”
Hua Borong was helpless, but he also knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to stand there and wait, but his eyes were always looking at the door, with a worried look in his eyes, as if something bad would happen there.
Hua Borong's every move naturally did not escape Fang Ming's eyes, but Fang Ming didn't mind, because it was done by him on purpose.
In just a few minutes, there was movement and noise in the hall outside, hearing this sound, Hua Borong's expression tightened, and he immediately said to Fang Ming: "Fang Ming, you are here to talk to Engong, I'll go outside to see what's going on?"
"Uncle Hua, at this time, are you still reluctant to tell me that you are in trouble, it seems that you still treat me as an outsider. ”
Fang Ming opened his mouth slowly, Hua Borong was stunned for a moment, looking at Fang Ming's expression, and finally a wry smile appeared on his face, he knew that the matter could not be hidden, and with Fang Ming's cleverness, he could guess it from the desertion of the hall.
"Actually, I already know the matter, it's the people who come out to collect debts. ”
Yi Fang Ming's realm can naturally hear the sound of the hall and know what is happening outside, in fact, this is also in his expectation, because after he and Uncle Hua talked on the phone before, he noticed that there was a shopping guide who listened with his ears, and when he knew that Uncle Hua would come over, the shopping guide secretly walked towards the bathroom.
Combined with these, Fang Ming can deduce that the shopping guide should have been bought by those who collected debts, and after knowing that Uncle Hua was coming, he ran to the bathroom to inform those debt collectors, so those who collected debts are estimated to be coming soon.
Therefore, Fang Ming deliberately delayed time, just to wait for those debt collectors to arrive, only when the debt collectors arrived, Uncle Hua would completely confess, otherwise even if he knew all this, Uncle Hua would insist that he could get through.
"What about Hua Borong, let Hua Borong come out, I know he's here, don't think about running away today. ”
Listening to the shouts from the hall, Hua Borong's face was ugly, and he was angry and helpless, it was a matter of course to repay debts, and it was normal for people to come to the door to beat and scold, and he could only bear it.
"Uncle Hua, let's go, go out first and solve the problem. ”
Fang Ming didn't say anything, turned around and walked directly towards the hall, Hua Borong wanted to shout, but his mouth opened but he didn't say a word, looking at Fang Ming's back walking towards the hall, he just let out a long sigh.
That's right, but he won't let Fang Ming make a move if there is a little way, because in his heart, he owes Engong, how can he let Engong's apprentice solve the trouble for him?
But now he has no way at all, the funds on the entire Huabao Building account are less than 100,000, and he has borrowed everything he can borrow, and he still owes a lot of money.
In the hall, several men stood there with unkind faces, these were the suppliers of Huabao Building, and they were also the people who secretly notified the shopping guide.
"Hua Borong, you finally dare to come out, hiding for so many days. ”
"Pay back the money, if you don't pay back the money today, Hua Borong, don't want to go out, let me tell you, I brought workers this time, if you don't pay back, I won't have the money to pay them wages, these people are all big bosses, if you do something excessive under excitement, I can't guarantee it." ”
At the entrance of the hall, there were indeed more than a dozen people standing, but Fang Ming took a look and found that these people had nothing to do with the workers, how could there be a worker with fat brains and tattoos.
This is a social worker invited by these debt collectors, and if you guess correctly, this is a professional debt collection gang.
"Boss Zhang, Boss Wang, give me a while longer, you still know my Hua Borong's reputation, I have been in business for so many years, and I have never defaulted on payment. ”
owes money to others, Hua Borong can only bow his head and apologize.
"That was before, the signboard of Huabaolou was still there, and it was naturally reputable, but now the signboard of Huabaolou has been destroyed, what money do you use to settle the final payment?"
"That's right, we only need money, as for how to find money, it's your business, I think you can sell Huabao Building directly, and pay off the debt while it's still worth some money." ”
Hua Borong's expression became difficult to see, Huabaolou was his life's work, how could he sell it, selling Huabaolou meant that his life was in vain.
"Hua Borong, I advise you to sell Huabao Building, I know that you owe more money than the three of us, there are other suppliers, I have called other suppliers, even if you don't sell, we will jointly sue the court, and will carry out a compulsory auction of Huabao Building." ”
These bosses said everything and I said, completely ignoring Hua Borong's increasingly ugly expression, while Fang Ming showed a thoughtful expression on the side.
With his understanding of human nature, most suppliers want to be the first to get the money when they ask for debts, unless they are too strong in the face of the debtor, they will gather everyone to collect debts together, but it is obvious that Uncle Hua is just a businessman, far from being powerful.
What these suppliers have to do is to get the final payment from Uncle Hua, instead of calling other suppliers to come over, if there are more people, the final payment may be less, which is not in line with common sense.
"Uncle Hua, how much money do you owe in total. ”
Fang Ming opened his mouth and looked at Hua Borong, and Hua Borong did not hide it at this time, and replied: "About sixty million." ”
"Sixty million. ”
Fang Ming knew in his heart, this number is actually not very big for Huabaolou, of course, this refers to Huabaolou under normal business conditions, but with Huabaolou's current financial situation, it can't be taken out.
"If I'm not mistaken, according to the contract, your final payment will not be settled until the end of the year, and there are still two months before the end of the year. ”
"That's right, the contract is written, but Huabaolou is now out of money, and it is destined to go out of business, and by the end of the year, everyone will run away, and we will need money now. ”
"That's right, either give the money now, or we people will come every day. ”
These bosses looked at Fang Ming with a sneer, Fang Ming nodded, "Well, what you said makes sense, but according to the contract, if you ask for a debt in advance, you have to reduce the final payment by one percent, are you sure you want to pay for the debt at this time?"
The three bosses looked at each other when they heard Fang Ming's words, there is indeed such an agreement in the contract, if the final payment is not collected at the specified time, one percent of the final payment will be deducted as liquidated damages, of course, this has to be agreed by Huabao Building.
It's just that at the beginning, these bosses decided that Hua Baolou couldn't take out the money, so in their minds, it was the same whether it was now or at the end of the year, and Hua Borong also knew that even if the final payment was missing, it would be more than 50 million, and now they couldn't take it out at all, so they didn't mention this matter in the contract.
