Chapter 128: Settle the Balance
"Liyun, what are these people doing, they don't look like customers who are here to buy clothes. Yuan Yuan said.
"We're in trouble, these guys are here to collect protection money. Wang Liyun said.
"Protection money, what protection money, how come I haven't heard of it. Yuan Yuan said.
"This is a method of extortion by local ruffians and hooligans, saying that it is to protect the safety of our business, but in fact it is to ask for money. Wang Liyun said.
"They are bullying, what, you agreed to his conditions. Yuan Yuan said.
"How can I agree to this condition, but I can't fall out with them yet, otherwise I will smash the clothing city, and the impact will not be good. Wang Liyun said.
"Then you should call the police and let the police deal with them. Yuan Yuan said.
"It's not as simple as you think, it's a common phenomenon, there must be a lot of merchants who give money, they get the sweetness, otherwise they wouldn't be so rampant. Wang Liyun said.
"Then what are we going to do? If we don't promise, they'll come and look for trouble. Yuan Yuan said.
"I want Li Jinghe to help, he knows what is going on, see how he handles it, maybe he will have a better way. Wang Liyun said and called Li Jinghe, told him what had just happened, and told him Peng Xingkui's contact number, asking him to find a way to help solve it, Li Jinghe told her that she didn't care, he would have a way to deal with this matter.
"It seems that this business is really not easy to do, everything will be encountered, a few hooligans have just come to harass, and now they will come to collect protection money. Yuan Yuan said.
"What do you think, as the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, they have great power, and ordinary people have nothing to do with them, so they have to swallow their anger and agree to their conditions. Wang Liyun said.
"What good can Li Jinghe do? He doesn't know them, and this group of people is not good people at first glance, so he can deal with them. Yuan Yuan said with some concern.
"Since he has already agreed, he will naturally have his way, but he can't think of other ways. Wang Liyun said.
Back in the office, Wang Liyun told Meng Lihong what had just happened, and Meng Lihong told her that if she came to collect protection money tomorrow, she could pay him, and the amount must be halved, which is also the rule here, they will gladly accept it, to put it bluntly, just to get a few money to spend. Wang Liyun was surprised, she didn't expect Meng Lihong to agree to those ruffians' conditions so easily, how many clothes she had to sell to earn it, and she seemed too weak, and she was a little unconvinced.
"Sister Meng, they are deliberately blackmailing, once they agree to their conditions, they will not be bullied by them in the future. Wang Liyun didn't understand a little, the ruffians and hooligans did this but a crime, and they couldn't agree to their conditions, Li Jinghe was proficient in the law, he could solve the problem in this regard, and act in accordance with the law, if he didn't believe that this kind of thing would not be left unattended, there was no need to compromise with them.
"Liyun, business has its own way of doing business, some things can not be too clear, I have been doing it for so many years, although I know it, but many things do not make sense, I have to do it, for the sake of business some things can not be too serious, otherwise the business is not good. Meng Lihong said.
"So I was not convinced, and I wanted Li Jinghe to help, after all, he is proficient in the law and can solve problems through legitimate channels," Wang Liyun said.
"Liyun, there are many things in the society that you still don't understand, some things must be tolerated, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch, and it will be clear after many years of operation. Meng Lihong said.
"At that time, I was anxious and didn't report to you, so I called Li Jinghe, this person has a good heart, and promised to solve the problem. Wang Liyun said.
"Liyun, you are now a manager, you can make your own decisions, but you must think about the problem comprehensively, and you are also responsible for the college student clothing city, these girls are all handed over to you, you can't let them be hurt, although you have no experience in business, you can grow up quickly after some experience. Meng Lihong said.
"I know what you mean, but I feel uncomfortable, I am really unwilling to give them those money, tomorrow I will see how Li Jinghe handles it, it is estimated that it will not cost money, he is a judge who knows the law well, and it is impossible for those people not to be afraid of legal sanctions. Wang Liyun said.
"You are the general manager, you are in charge of the operation, as long as you take care of those sisters, I can't interfere too much, the garment city has achieved good benefits, this is the result of your business." Meng Lihong said.
Li Jinghe called Wang Liyun and told him that the problem of protection money had been solved, and they didn't have to worry about it anymore, and they wouldn't come to the garment city again in the future, Li Jinghe really had two brushes, and he solved the problem so quickly.
"Do you need to give him money, Sister Lihong agreed to give them money after she found out, as long as she gave them half of it. Wang Liyun said.
"I don't have to give them a penny, I asked a buddy to find Peng Xingkui and told him about the situation, and then I promised not to trouble you again in the future. Li Jinghe said.
"They are deliberately extortion, but it is a great crime, you are the judge, you can solve the problem through the law, let them be sanctioned, don't behave like this, the individual business will not be bullied by them, there is no need to beg them through the relationship, you will owe them a favor, how to repay it in the future. Wang Liyun said.
"It's not that simple, sometimes they don't care about the law, they are very cunning, they won't let you catch him, what evidence do you sue him, if you mess with him, they will find you trouble at any time, and your business will not stop. Li Jinghe said.
"Why did Sister Lihong say the same, after hearing about it, she actually promised to give protection money, as long as she gave them half of it, she would agree, this is not a business, but also a bargain. Wang Liyun said.
"She has been in business for many years, and things in the mall are naturally clear, otherwise the business would not be so good. Li Jinghe said.
"I didn't expect things to be like this, I used to see ruffians on TV charging protection money, I thought it was very hateful, but I didn't know that the reality would be like this, and let me encounter it in person, otherwise I really can't believe it. Wang Liyun said.
"One side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, the shopping mall is also a place to hide dirt and dirt, the society is not a pure land, there can be no sand in the rice, everything in the world has a gram, what kind of characters will have, sometimes it is really not possible without them, the collection of protection money has been since ancient times, but no one has a better solution, but more injustice will kill themselves, they will not have a good end. Li Jinghe said.
"You can arrest them and punish this gang according to the law, who dares to violate the laws of the country. Wang Liyun said.
"It's easy for you to say. Li Jinghe said with a smile. Besides, what if you arrest them, they will come out in a few days, and they will come to you for trouble, even if they call the police, they can only manage for a while, the police can't accompany you every day to deal with this matter, and Peng Xingkui was arrested today, and Li Xingkui will appear tomorrow, they are like fleas, they often appear in the crowd, all over every corner of society, where there is a place to do business, they will appear at any time.
"It seems that it is really not easy to do business, I thought it was very simple for you to buy and I sell, but I didn't expect such things to happen, it is very incomprehensible. Wang Liyun said.
"This is the reality, as the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and there will be many things that you don't expect, if there is anything you can do at any time, you can come to me, and I will find a way to help you solve it. Li Jinghe said.
"Thank you, Jinghe, if it weren't for your help, we really don't know what to do. Wang Liyun said.
"It's all old classmates, there's no need to be so polite. Li Jinghe said.
