Employees were skeptical, asked all sorts of questions, and raised all sorts of questions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Sun Xianyu had to answer them one by one, patiently explained a lot of things, and gradually dispelled the concerns of the employees.

"That day, I spoke loudly for more than four hours straight, and then my voice was hoarse and I couldn't speak. Later, I sent them to kowtow and kneel, begging for help, support and understanding. ”

However, in the end, under the persuasion of some old employees, the employees were persuaded to stop. I promised to pay my wages within a month, and they dispersed. ”

After Sun Xianyu finished speaking, he took another big sip of wine and asked rhetorically: "You understand now, why am I so haggard and have so much gray hair?" ”

Yan Wenlong sighed: "It's really not easy for you, you didn't enjoy any benefits of being a boss, and you shouldered the greatest pressure first." I don't know if I can withstand it if I am in your position, whether I will be driven crazy. ”

"By the way, what are you going to do now? Is the money from the bank loan in place? Yan Wenlong asked.

Sun Xianyu kept shaking his head and was silent and did not speak. He picked up his beer and poured another glass on his own.

"Don't say it, I've been to more than a dozen banks. Seeing that our business situation was not good, everyone refused to take out loans. Damn, a bank that originally had dealings with us stopped the two loans totaling 4 million yuan that were originally promised on the grounds of risk control. ”

"Holy! Drawing loans at critical moments is too inhumane! When Yan Wenlong heard this, he couldn't help but scold.

"Banks are inherently poor and love rich,/son nature. They'll only make things worse for you, and they'll never help you. When you have money, you desperately ask if you want a loan, and when you are short of money, they turn you away. ”

"They will only think about their own risks and interests, and will not have any mercy and responsibility. Even if I have stable orders from customers, they refuse to lend. ”

"Alas, this is a common phenomenon. At the end of the day, banks are not for you private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. Yan Wenlong sighed.

"I can't help it, I can't tell the staff the news, I can only think of other ways." Son Hyun-woo said.

"I mortgaged two properties and two cars at home and took out a loan of 6 million, damn, I could have borrowed 10 million, but they put it on again."

"After investing the 6 million into the company, I finally paid the logistics costs, electricity bills and employee salaries, and I passed last month. But the supplier's payment still couldn't be settled, so I had to be cheeky enough to ask them to wait. ”

When Yan Wenlong heard this, he seemed to remember something, and an abnormal look flashed in his eyes.

"You can borrow from small and medium-sized shareholders, they have shares, and they also don't want the company to go out of business, you're in the same boat," he asked. ”

Sun Xianyu shook his head: "I tried." Minority shareholders are just here to take a free ride, and they can share prosperity and hardship. When the dividends were paid, they were very fierce, and when they wanted to pay the money, they all cried poor. ”

"There is a minority shareholder who said that he can borrow 5 million to the company. However, he offered a condition of 30% per annum. ”

“30%？ What is the difference between this and loan sharking? Yan Wenlong exclaimed.

"Yes, the cost of capital is too high, but it's just drinking to quench your thirst, I don't dare to touch it."

Sun Xianyu took out his phone, opened the call log, and said: "Look, these are all calls from private lenders, and they all seem to have found out that they have business, and they keep calling me to promote their loan products." ”

"These are all usury, and I don't dare touch them. You told me the story of Yao Chengwei, and when I thought of him, my heart was terrified. ”

Sun Xianyu picked up the wine glass and looked out the window: "It's a big deal, this company won't do it, it will go bankrupt and liquidate, and our family will be relaxed." ”

Yan Wenlong shook his head: "That being said, it's not that easy to make decisions. This company is the brainchild of my uncle's life, and you also have feelings in it, how can you let it go casually. ”

"On the other hand, the closure of factories also means that more than 600 people have lost their jobs, and 600 families have been affected without jobs."

"Yes, actually, I'm not supporting myself, I'm supporting everyone. A company is not only the private asset of the boss, but also a social organization that needs to be held responsible. Sun Xianyu smiled bitterly.

He pointed to his head and said, "So, I'm so stressed that I can't sleep all night, and I've had insomnia every day for the last month. Recently, it has become more and more serious. Now, I can only fall asleep by taking sleeping pills. ”

"In addition to insomnia, I now have stomach pains. Stomach pain for a long time, uncomfortable, often bent in the office, sometimes even cramping to the point of cold sweat. That faint twitching and pulling is really torturous! ”

Yan Wenlong said with concern: "Your health has plummeted, it seems that it is really too stressful." You pay attention to taking some medicine, take a good recuperation, and don't worry too much about the affairs of the enterprise, there will always be a way. Your health is the most important thing, and you need to protect it. ”

Yan Wenlong's father, Yan Xiaohu, used to suffer from chronic stomach pain, which was very painful. When he was a child, he often saw pictures of his father bending over and enduring pain, and he had an intuitive understanding of the pain and suffering caused by stomach pain.

Sun Xianyu shook his head: "I also want to lower the pressure, but I can't do it." Every day, when I wake up, I think about the company's affairs, I worry about cash flow, I think about the wages and payments to be paid, and I think about asking customers for money as soon as possible. ”

"No, it's going to be the day of payroll again, and the money hasn't settled yet." Sun Xianyu said, looking depressed.

Yan Wenlong asked tentatively: "How much money do you have left, and when will the flow of funds be connected." ”

Sun Xianyu pursed his lips, his eyes gloomy: "According to the current operation of the company, the salary that needs to be paid this month is about 2.6 million, and in terms of payment, even if it is worn out, at least 400,000 must be paid to maintain the most basic operation and ensure that the company does not stop production." ”

"As long as we don't stop production, we will push this month over and send out the goods, and we will have a chance to improve next month." Son Hyun-woo said: "I have already communicated with the biggest customers, and I have asked them with a dead face. Finally they agreed to shorten the original six-month payment period by two months. At this point in time, there should be more than 10 million funds in the account next month. ”

"Now, I think of a patient who is hanging on his breath, waiting for a blood transfusion, and if he can't wait, he will die." He sighed: "Alas, you won't understand this feeling. ”

Yan Wenlong said: "Hearing you say this, I slowly began to experience the pressure of being a boss. Before, I didn't understand why those bosses would run away and even commit suicide. Now, I look at your appearance and situation, and I believe that this kind of thing will really happen. ”

"Old Sun, don't commit suicide, no matter how big it is, it will pass eventually. I'll help you figure it out, too. ”

"Thank you, Wenlong. Don't worry, I'm not going to die. I just need an outlet to vent my frustration. ”

Sun Xianyu picked up his wine glass and said, "I came to you just to drink some wine, buy a drunk, let yourself relax, and get away from that pressure for a while." I know I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll have to deal with this pressure, and life will have to go on, but tonight, I'm drunk and can get a good night's sleep. ”

"Don't drink too much, you have to take care of yourself now." Yan Wenlong said and stood up: "I'm a little anxious, go to the bathroom first, and come back immediately." ”

Yan Wenlong left his seat and went to the hotel bathroom. After making it convenient, he returned to the restaurant and stopped to watch.

Yan Wenlong looked at the lobby and frowned.

It was dinner time, but the restaurant was deserted and many tables were empty. As far as the eye can see, more than a dozen waiters are standing in their respective areas, with nothing to do, chatting in twos and threes.

Inside the restaurant, at a cursory glance, it feels like there are more waiters than customers, and the occupancy rate of the entire restaurant is only about 50%. You must know that in the past, the lotus restaurant was full for a long time, and the turnover rate was very high, and many customers were queuing up outside to wait for seats.

Yan Wenlong was a little surprised, and when he passed by the counter, he stopped and chatted with the restaurant owner.

The restaurant owner is named Yang Chengyi, and Yan Wenlong is a fellow villager in Yining City. This man is loyal and honest, born as a chef, always hands-on, diligent in his hands and feet, treats the restaurant as his home, and throws all his body and mind into it. Yan Wenlong has a good relationship with him, and he usually communicates a lot.

"Brother Yang, your family has always had a good business, but it was hard to find one before. Why is there no one in the hotel at this time? Yan Wenlong asked.

Yang Chengyi was a middle-aged man with a split head, he said with a bitter face: "You haven't been here for a while. In the past week, business has not been good for restaurants, and the average number of customers has dropped by almost 60% compared to before. The impact is huge. ”

"Why is the business so bad in the New Year? Have you taken any action? Yan Wenlong asked.

"I'm also in a hurry, and I'm trying to figure out a way every day. I thought about reducing the price and increasing the number of customers. But you know, our store is originally in pursuit of small profits and quick turnover, and the price is not high in restaurants of the same level in the same community. I'm also mainly doing repeat business for people in the surrounding communities, and I don't have a very high price. ”

"To tell you the truth, the average gross profit margin of my dishes is only 25%, and there is almost no profit when you count all kinds of expenses. If the price is lowered again, I will lose money. ”

Yan Wenlong nodded: "Indeed, the pressure of doing business is so great, if you don't make money, then what's the head." ”

"Now that the rent is rising every year, the water and electricity bills are also rising, not to mention the labor, with an average annual increase of 30%, I don't dare to hire more people. The prices of meat, fish, and vegetables are also rising every day, and eggs alone have risen twice a week. The price of accessories is also unstable, and when I count the material loss in the store, I find that I am not actually making money after my hard work. ”

"The point is, the cost is rising, and I don't dare to raise the price at will. Customers are more sensitive to price and cannot pass on cost pressures. After mentioning it slightly, the guest ran away to another house. ”

Yan Wenlong sighed and was silent. He knew that catering was getting harder and harder, but he didn't expect that a good restaurant like Lotus Restaurant would also face losses.

"The so-called catering depends on diligence, for this restaurant, I am busy from morning to night, and every place is carefully taken care of, paying attention to every detail. Now my harvest is a herniated disc in my lower back, and I have severe low back pain for a long time. The sitting posture should not be too bent, and the standing posture should not be too straight, otherwise it will be painful. ”

"However, even with my efforts, I have lost customers recently, and business has declined, and every day it is a loss. Alas, what a disheartening. ”

Yang Chengyi said, grabbing his hair with his hand and pulling it gently.

He raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said, "If this continues, in less than a week, my restaurant will be closed." ”
