Zhou Jianping originally suspected that Lao Tian was playing hide and seek with him, but after hearing Lao Sun's words, he firmly believed in his judgment even more.

"Sun Custody, it turns out that your mall is not about to close down as Lao Tian said, it seems that he is just doing this to hide people's eyes?"

"Director Zhou, don't listen to Lao Tian's nonsense there, it's really going to go out of business, he shouldn't tell you that."

"Well, Lao Tian may also have his unspeakable secrets, understand, who wants outsiders to see their own family? As long as the supply of warehouses is sufficient, there is no possibility of closure. Zhou Jianping looked like nothing happened.

"Our warehouse is full of piles, and last week we just bought 50 washing machines and 100 bicycles, and 100 TVs. Lao Sun told the truth in 1510.

"Yo, you can't have more than 100,000 or 200,000 goods in your warehouse now?"

"200,000 can't arrive, I have statistics there, it seems that there are 150,000 or 60,000."

"No wonder Lao Tian is not in a hurry, these 150,000 or 60,000 goods are enough to support the sales of the mall for a month, right?"

"It's no problem for more than a month, but there are not many products left in your factory, who knows when Lao Tian will be restocked." Lao Sun said.

"Come on, he told me yesterday that he would buy the goods in a few days."

Lao Sun is a person who is very close to wine, and he and Zhou Jianping are not seen at the wine table, often when the two are talking, Lao Sun will also pick up the cup and drink himself, as a result, after Zhou Jianping drank the first glass of wine, Lao Sun is already the third glass. Only more than an hour has passed, and Lao Sun is already drunk and hazy, but he can speak quite clearly.

"Sun Custody, do you want to drink some more?" Zhou Jianping asked.

"Director Zhou, as long as you drink, I will accompany you."

"I see you've drunk a lot, and you can't get drunk anymore?" Zhou Jianping is also worried.

"Don't worry, I can't get drunk. Director Zhou, you are such a big factory director, invite me to drink, look down on me, I am very happy today, I can't get drunk anymore. Lao Sun looked very excited.

"Then have another drink, let's come to Japan for a long time, and there will be many opportunities to drink in the future."

In the remaining period of time, in addition to thanking Zhou Jianping, Lao Sun answered all questions. Through this wine, Zhou Jianping has a clear understanding of the actual situation of Dongfeng Shopping Mall.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Zhou Jianping appeared in the office of Manager Tian of Dongfeng Shopping Mall again, "You haven't left yet?" I thought you left F-City. Lao Tian was very surprised by Zhou Jianping's reappearance.

"We still haven't had a drink, I've come all the way, why do I want to have a drink with you, I'll go back after drinking this meal." Zhou Jianping said with a grin.

"Heh, as if you can drink more, let's just talk about the two of us, are you short of this drink, or am I short of wine to drink?" Lao Tian didn't believe that Zhou Jianping stayed just to drink with him.

"Neither of us is short of wine, but this one should be drunk. Don't worry, I invite you tonight, you don't have to break the bank, after all, your Dongfeng shopping mall is now on the verge of closure. ”

"Are you scolding me? If our unit can't do it again, we can afford to pay for a drink! It seems that Lao Tian has not yet reached the point where dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, and he is a little unhappy with Zhou Jianping's words just now.

"Manager Tian, don't think too much, through the past few years of communication, you should know that I have always been very respectful to people, and I have never looked down on people, I just want to drink with you and deepen the relationship."

Touching a soft nail, Lao Tian had nothing to say, "Okay, it seems that this wine must be drunk, are you waiting here to get off work, let's go together, or do you go to the hotel and wait first?" ”

"If I don't disturb your work, I want to wait for you to get off work, and let's go together."

"Okay, you may be seated. Director Zhou, can't you just stay in the hotel these days and wait for me to have a drink with you? Where have you been? "Lao Tian Dao.

"Fortunately, I am also the head of a factory with more than 700 people, no matter how idle and boring I am, I can't go so far and wait for you to drink with you in the hotel! Let me tell you, in the past two or three days, I visited several other customers in F City, not in front of Manager Tian to boast, I do things, high efficiency. Zhou Jianping didn't speak so politely.

"I believe that Director Zhou has always been known for his vigorous and efficient work, and we are far from you."

After a cup of tea, it was time to get off work, Zhou Jianping discussed with Lao Tian, he decided to go to the hotel last night, and in order to make it easier to talk, they asked for a small private room.

Although they used to be friends, now the relationship between the two parties is well known to each other, and when they entered the private room, Zhou Jianping and Lao Tian were not polite, they ordered their favorite dishes.

Starting from the second glass of wine, Zhou Jianping led the topic to the theme of the night, "Manager Tian, Dongfeng Shopping Mall is not doing well, how long do you estimate it will last?" ”

"It's hard to say, how long it can last."

"Do you mean to sell out the existing inventory in the warehouse and close it, or do you want to continue to stock and keep going?"

Lao Tian didn't answer immediately, he was wondering what Zhou Jianping meant, "Director Zhou, why do you care so much about our situation?" ”

"It's normal to care about you, firstly, Dongfeng Shopping Mall is a relational unit of Jiansheng Food Factory for many years, and secondly, Jiansheng Food Factory is still the creditor of Dongfeng Shopping Mall."

"After talking for a long time, you care about the purpose of Dongfeng Mall, isn't it still for those two payments?" Lao Tian Road.

"Manager Tian, if you want to say this, I don't think there is anything wrong with it, after all, it is our money, you have to admit this fact." The tone of Zhou Jianping's speech also increased.

"Director Zhou, let's stop beating around the bush, the purpose of your appointment with me for this meal is still to talk to me about your two payments, right?"

Although Zhou Jianping did not answer, the meaning was already clear.

"You've seen the situation in the mall, I didn't lie to you, did I? There aren't even many goods on the shelves, where do you ask me to find money to pay you back? Lao Tian pretended to be anxious.

Zhou Jianping took a big sip of his wine glass, "I always thought I was very good at reading people, but I looked away at Manager Tian." In my impression, Manager Tian has always been a more practical person, but in fact it is not like that. ”

"What are you talking about? How am I not real? Lao Tian was obviously a little unhappy.

"Manager Tian, don't be angry, I won't make it up out of thin air, I never say anything without factual basis, if you want to hear it, let's do this wine, listen to me tell you in detail."

Regarding Zhou Jianping's proposal to raise a glass, Lao Tian was indifferent, "No one has said that my Lao Tian is not real, I want to hear your high opinions." ”

"Since Manager Tian is so anxious to hear it, then I won't drink it anymore."

Zhou Jianping put the wine glass back on the table, "After the debt dispute between us was decided by the court, Jiansheng Food Factory was the winning party, but we have not asked for a penny back. Two days ago, I went to the mall to look for you, and after negotiating with you for a long time, you showed me a depressed scene on the shelves of the mall, and you told me about the difficulties faced by the mall, and I still believed your words. ”

Lao Tian rushed to speak: "These are all facts! What's wrong? ”

"Yes, at first I thought you were telling the truth, but that's not the case."

"Don't fool around in front of me, what do you know?"

"After the court's decision, you removed the goods from the shelves and put on the appearance that they were going to close down, in order to hide people's eyes, not only to deal with the people in the court's enforcement division, but also to show me. However, I now know that the warehouse in Dongfeng Mall is fully stocked, and just last week, you bought 50 new washing machines, 100 bicycles and 100 televisions. After speaking, Zhou Jianping looked at the other party with a calm expression.

Lao Tian's face was flushed by Zhou Jianping's words, and he shouted loudly almost out of shape: "You are secretly investigating me? Who gave you this right? Aren't you doing things above board? What's it to make a small move behind the scenes? Where did you get this information? Did the custodian or the doorman tell you? In the end, Lao Tian was so excited that he was about to stand up.

Zhou Jianping sat on the dining chair, and he said unhurriedly: "Manager Tian, why are you so excited when you sit down and talk?" I can't match you in terms of height, my voice, my arms, or the size of my fists, but I'm not here to fight you. Dongfeng Mall is the debtor, Jiansheng Food Factory is the creditor, in the case of your failure to fulfill the legal obligations, we do a private investigation, what is not to do? If you think our investigation is illegal, you can sue us! ”

Zhou Jianping glanced at Lao Tian, took a sip of the water cup, and continued: "You said that I was making small moves behind my back and doing things not above board, you have to see who you are targeting, if the other party is a villain, why should I be a gentleman?" I don't think there's anything wrong with treating others the way they do. In addition, you always look down on others, investigate the purchase of goods in Dongfeng shopping mall, I can ask your suppliers, ask the custodian or warehouse doorman of your unit? I'm too troublesome! Zhou Jianping did not forget to choose the custodian Lao Sun out.

Lao Tian's damaged face was hot, and he stared at Zhou Jianping again, "Who do you say is the villain?" ”

"I'm just making a random analogy, why do you want to sit in the right seat?"

"Don't talk to me about these useless things, even if it's like you said, what do you want to do?" Lao Tian Road.

"If you admit that what I said is the truth, it means that you are not about to close down, a normal unit owes others money, and the court has already made a judgment, Manager Tian, what do you say?" Zhou Jianping is still not in a hurry.

"What if I still don't have the money to give it to you?"

In the face of Lao Tian's deliberate provocation, Zhou Jianping sat up straight, he stared at the other party with his eyes, "You are a malicious defaulter, I hope you understand two points, first, Manager Tian is an old man in the commercial industry, I don't know if you have heard of the word reputation?" If the credibility is completely broken, I'm afraid Dongfeng Mall will really have to close its doors, and it is too easy for me to publicize your lack of integrity, because I am familiar with most of your suppliers, and it is enough to bring out a few words in the course of small talk with them. If you want to continue to stay in the commercial retail field, please take this into account for Manager Tian. ”

Zhou Jianping deliberately stopped, he was observing Lao Tian's facial expression, "In addition, Manager Tian may not fully understand my character, I like to leave my hands behind, and often prepare more than one set of plans, and never give up until the goal is achieved." ”

Lao Tian pouted, "Yo, Director Zhou has another plan, I'm very interested, can you tell me and listen to it?" ”

Zhou Jianping turned his face to the side and put on a gesture of ignorance at Lao Tian, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, you will naturally know when the time comes." ”
