The next day, October 15, the autumn weather was crisp and cloudless.

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the situation in the leather garment factory reached the most critical juncture, like a dry powder keg, and the slightest Martian wine would explode. In an hour, the bank was about to close the factory to clean up its assets and pay off its debts, and the workers were even more angry, clamoring to rush into the factory to move the machines and leather clothes to pay their wages.

Gu Weiguo moved a wooden chair, and the golden knife of Malaysia was at the gate of the factory, and he yelled with red eyes: "If you all forget Lao Tzu's affection for you all these years, step on Lao Tzu's corpse!" ”

The five veteran workers who have followed Gu Weiguo's father and son for 40 years are all sixty or seventy years old, with white hair and a rickety back, but they stand in front of Gu Weiguo with a tragic face, not giving an inch.

An old man was the first to shout: "Which one made you make trouble? Isn't it just three months of salary arrears? You are all people who have been following Xiao Gu for more than ten years, don't believe in his character? Are you blind in sight or blind in heart? ”

The workers retreated one after another, and for a while they were a little silent, this was the master of the leather garment factory, with a very high prestige, and most of the fathers were apprentices brought out by him. Even if no one dared to confront Lao Lin, a few of them hid in the crowd and shouted inciting.

Lin Lao picked up his crutches and was about to rush out, but was pulled by Gu Weiguo and lit a cigarette for him, Lin Lao could only shake his head and chant to Gu Weiguo repeatedly: "I can't control these cubs, I'm sorry for you, I can't afford you old man ...... more."

Another old man rushed into the crowd, grabbed the ear of a thirty-year-old man who made the most trouble, pulled him out of the crowd, and without saying a word, he slapped him: "Lao Tzu beat you to death!" Dog, your conscience has been eaten by dogs? Six years ago, your mother had a tumor in her belly, and you lost all your gambling money and was chased and beaten by a loan shark and hid. It's Koo! He personally went to the hospital behind your mother's back! I watched for you for a day and a night in the hospital! When your mother was hospitalized, which one sent your mother's stewed chicken soup to her parents and children every day? It's Xiao Gu's wife, your factory director's wife! If your mother hadn't died last year, she would have hanged herself today! ! ”

The man named Gouwa didn't dare to squeak, and ran away with a roll.

"Wait!" Gu Weiguo stopped the dog baby, "If you want a salary, stand aside and wait." ”

"Hey!" The dog baby shrank to the side, and did not dare to take the lead in making trouble again.

The old man was so angry that he retreated, and blamed: "Xiao Gu, you are just too kind-hearted, just like your old man!" ”

Gu Weiguo laughed at himself: "Uncle Li, there are some things I can't do." ”

Uncle Li let out a long sigh, his eyes slightly red.

"Xiao Jiu, what are you doing here?" Another lame old worker limped into the crowd and yelled at a young man, "You want a salary too?" If you want a salary, Lao Tzu will give it to you, Lao Tzu will smash the pot and sell iron to sweep the streets, and I will make it up for you! Lao Tzu only remembers that my life was saved by Lao Gu, without him, Lao Tzu would have lost more than one leg! Say, how much does Xiao Gu owe you? ”

Xiao Jiu shrank back: "Third grandfather, I, I ......"

"It's only right to pay back debts!"

Just when the workers were speechless by the elders, a voice sounded, the workers retreated, and a young man with oily hair and flour came over.

"Which one are you? You're not from our factory! ”

The old men stared at this raw guy unkindly.

"Vice President of the Heilong County Trade Union, Wu Jie."

The visitor laughed.

The old man's eyes are even more vicious, people of their age, naturally know the details of the Wu family, after the boss of the battery factory jumped from the eighth floor, the battery factory was renamed Shengli Battery Factory! And the reason why the old factory director jumped off the building, hehe! They've heard about it.

"Uncles, rest and rest, since he is a member of the trade union, let me talk to him. It's my fault no matter how I say it, and it's wrong to say that I am in arrears of wages! ”

Gu Weiguo was afraid that the old men would be too angry and do something out of the ordinary, and it would be nothing if there was a problem, and they couldn't let them break their bones.

Although the old men felt that Gu Weiguo was too soft, even if they had retired, they were still quite obedient to Gu Weiguo, and only glared at Wu Jie fiercely and stepped aside.

Behind Wu Jie, there are two other people, namely Wu Yuan and Liu Qilu.

At this time, Wu Yuan didn't come out, so he stood behind for a long time, asked Liu Qilu to light a cigar for him, and swallowed the clouds and exhaled the mist quite elegantly, and Liu Qilu slapped the horse on the side.

"Director Gu, do you also know that it is illegal to be in arrears of wages? Well, isn't it over if you pay the wages to the workers? Wu Jie stood in front of Gu Weiguo and pointed to the workers.

Gu Weiguo didn't answer immediately, and waited for the workers' voices to be quieter before he said: "It's my fault that I owe wages!" However, the sales of leather clothing in summer are quite low, and the leather clothing factory has no money, as long as we wait until next month, the weather is cold, and our inventory can be ......"

"Wait a month? Then we're all starving! ”

"That is, what if we drag on next month?"

"None of these bosses are good people!"

The workers scolded, it was not that they did not know that the peak season for leather clothing was autumn and winter, but most of them were blindly obedient.

"Wait a minute! Listen to me, everybody. Wu Jie suppressed the noise of the workers in high spirits, and pointed to Wu Yuan not far away, "This is my second brother Wu Yuan, his father is the chairman of Cangjiang Electronics Factory and a partner of our Shengli Battery Factory. I think everyone has heard that my second brother only took millions of dollars to build roads and do good deeds yesterday, originally, he didn't want to take care of these things in the leather garment factory. But my second brother was a kind man, and when he heard about everyone's situation, he was willing to buy a leather garment factory at a loss, pay everyone's salary, and repay the loan. ”

The workers didn't immediately echo this, they were stunned, they didn't hear that they were going to sell the market!

Gu Weiguo mocked: "800,000 want to buy a factory of 5 million? I'm not stupid enough to be that far! ”

Wu Yuan said to Gu Weiguo: "Boss Gu misunderstood, 800,000 yuan is just cash for you, and I also have to bear the arrears of 300,000 workers' wages, as well as 1 million loans, which is 2.1 million." Besides, your factory is no longer worth five million. ”

Gu Weiguo did not answer.

Wu Yuan said again: "However, 2.1 million yuan is only yesterday's price, in order not to let the workers' wages go unpaid, I decided to increase the price." How about three million? Excluding loans and wages, you can take 1.7 million. The price is very good! ”

This price is not bad, although the assets of the leather clothing factory plus the inventory are more than four million, but the aging of the machinery and plant is discounted, and the inventory of leather clothing styles determines that they will be very difficult to sell.

Gu Weiguo was still silent.

Wu Yuan smiled: "It seems that Boss Gu has a great appetite!" For their own selfish interests, they don't even care whether the workers can get paid or not? You can bear it, but I can't be hard-hearted. The final offer, three and a half million! ”

After Wu Yuan's instigation, the workers had anger in their eyes.

Three and a half million, calculated together, Gu Weiguo is no longer a loss, he can take away 2.2 million in style. This is Wu Yuan's plan, he is a person who pays attention to efficiency, if he talks to Gu Weiguo about selling the factory normally, not to mention the high price, it is likely to drag on for two or three months. Therefore, he went off the rails, used banks and workers to force Gu Weiguo, and then quoted a price of 2.1 million yuan first, and then raised the price at the last moment, he believed that Gu Weiguo, who had no way out, would not care about losing hundreds of thousands. After all, if he doesn't sell, he will go bankrupt, and the loss will not be hundreds of thousands.

Who knows, Gu Weiguo just smiled contemptuously, and did not nod at all as Wu Yuan expected. Gu Weiguo said: "I'm a very tough person, I don't eat a toast and don't eat a penalty wine!" ”

The meaning is obvious, if Wu Yuan didn't use this method, he might have sold, but he didn't want to be threatened to sell the factory.

Wu Yuan was rejected again, and he didn't get angry, just smiled casually and stopped talking.

"Think about it, now the bank is pressing, and the factory will be closed at twelve o'clock. When the time comes, the entire field will be given to the bank, who will pay your salary? Wu Jie instigated again.

"That's right! Banks are about to close their factories! ”

"If you sell the factory to someone surnamed Wu, someone will pay your salary."

"Gu Weiguo, you have collapsed the factory, and you still occupy the pit and don't?"

"It would definitely be better to change to a rich boss!"

"If Gu Weiguo doesn't sell it, we will rush in and grab the leather clothes, and we can't let the bank come first!"

The workers were clamoring and began to rush forward.

Six old workers stood up at the same time and shouted: "Which one dare? ”

The workers hesitated again.

"It's okay to ask for wages, but now the leather garment factory is in a slump and can't support so many workers. Whoever wants a salary, fill out the resignation form first, I don't owe you a penny! ”

Gu Weiguo took out a large stack of resignation slips from his briefcase, in fact, the leather garment factory had already been seriously overstaffed, but due to conscience, Gu Weiguo has not laid off employees. Even if he sold two houses, emptied his son's funds for studying abroad, and owed a huge loan to the bank, he did not give up a worker.

But at this moment, Gu Weiguo was dead, this group of white-eyed wolves made him realize that he was wrong, doing business is not doing good deeds.

The workers hesitated and turned their eyes to Wu Jie.

Wu Jie looked at Wu Yuan again.

Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

After that, the workers took the resignation slips. These workers who came to make trouble accounted for more than half of the workers in the leather garment factory, and since they had already fallen out and were not optimistic about Gu Weiguo, they were naturally willing to resign.

The workers who had signed the resignation form earlier began to shout that they were going to rush into the factory and warehouse, and the workers behind them became even more impatient, leaving the original hesitation behind, quickly signing the resignation form, and then went to photograph the factory gate.

However, the five veteran workers still blocked the gate and did not give an inch.

This time, the workers who had broken with the leather garment factory did not back down, and for a while, the two sides were tense. There were even a few workers who took the lead, and they brought shovels, wrenches and other objects from nowhere, and they had to do it if they didn't agree with each other.

The old workers were trembling with anger, but they had no fear.

Wu Jie and Liu Qilu were also taken aback, looking at Wu Yuan, Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, signaling that they were not in a hurry. It's better to make a big fuss! Even if Gu Weiguo was dying, he could buy the leather garment factory from the bank at a low price, and the inventory was divided by the workers, which was simpler and could be bought back for less money, after all, the workers wanted money.

At this critical moment, Gu Weiguo sadly remembered a saying: Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he will see the hearts of the people for a long time.
