Complete one's misery
This year's rice harvest was relatively late, and it was not sold in the first place as before. The buyer who had made an appointment before said that he couldn't wait any longer, so he bought something else.
This happened suddenly, and I really didn't think about it before.
This is a new customer, and our agreement in advance is that if we can pay the full amount before the other buyers, then he will take it from me, if not, I have to be sorry. I thought that we were relatively high in the past few years, and I said that we couldn't lag behind this year, so I agreed to it. God played a joke and postponed the ripening period of rice by half a month; As the saying goes, "a thousand plans are better than a thousand plans", and it seems that there is some truth to it. Some people preach that "human beings are the masters of nature", which is inevitably suspected of boasting; In the face of nature, human beings are always as fragile as a newborn baby, and the slightest wind and rain may lose everything they have now, including life.
Later, I contacted a buyer from another province, the owner of a sake brewery, and according to him, I could sell it to him whenever I had the goods, all year round. This guy is very old, and he doesn't even show a flaw on his face when he jokes. But one thing is for sure, this is a more potential buyer, and if he can buy food from me, he will not have to catch a plane as before.
The reason why I say this is because there is such a large demand like him, and it is still long-term, and you don't have to think about it to know that there are many people waiting in line for him to buy his own. As far as I know, under normal circumstances, they have a fixed supplier, and it is estimated that there is any unexpected situation before looking for me.
In the past, most of the freight was transported by land, and usually a large convoy could handle everything back and forth. But this time is different, the winery owner's winery is located near the river, and if it is sent directly by boat, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources.
There is only one river called "Pragmatic River" near Gao Laozhuang, which was originally meant to warn the people in the village to be diligent, truth-seeking and pragmatic. Because it sounds serious, the younger generation has renamed it "Wushi River", which looks very fashionable and magnificent. When I came back to Gao Laozhuang, I took a boat through the Wushi River to Gao Laozhuang Wharf.
But the river is relatively small, and it is usually filled with low-tonnage boats, and I have never seen more than two floors of boats pass by. Hundreds of tonnes of paddy had to be transported in batches to the confluence of the river, and then the paddy was transferred to a large ship before it could reach the distillery for delivery.
I don't know if it's a hunch or not, but when I heard that it was going to be transported by water, I felt a little uneasy. Although the old pigs have sat on many old and large boats, they have never had such feelings.
Sister Qing comforted her and said that she would be fine, because she had burned incense in front of the God of Wealth and prayed for a smooth journey; It's usually quite effective, and this time will certainly be no exception.
When it was shipped in batches, it was okay, and everything was safe; The accident happened to the next big hull. According to the owner, the boat tilted abruptly without warning, and previous inspections showed that there was no problem with the vessel itself. There were more than 800 tons of rice on board, and all but 200 tons of rice were recovered by me, with a total value of nearly 2 million. Two million, it is estimated that the money from Sister Qing is all on this.
I went with the owner to find the insurance company. Unexpectedly, the staff of the insurance company threw out a sentence after reading the insurance policy provided by the ship owner: This policy is fake.
The owner of the ship was not supposed to come in person, but he said that the employee in charge of the insurance business had taken a leave of absence and had to come on his own. They were a newly opened company, and I was not very happy to fight with them, but there was no empty ship to pick up our order, and then I had to choose his house.
How could it be fake? The ship's owner widened his eyes and said that I had personally ordered his men to buy it.
The explanation given by the insurance company's staff for this phenomenon is simple: there is a good chance that your men are trying to swallow the insurance money. Thinking of the leave, the shipowner seemed to understand it all at once.
Later, it was turned out that it was an insurance policy that had been cashed, and someone was there
It has been manipulated so that it looks like an unpaid insurance policy. The facts show that the person who took the leave is indeed very suspicious, because he has never returned. While we were discussing compensation, the owner of the ship suddenly disappeared again. At the beginning, I thought that he had a company and would not shirk his responsibilities. Later, after investigation and evidence collection by the public security department, it turned out to be a shell company; The registration shows that the company has a total of five cargo ships with a total value of more than 10 million, but in fact, only the current one, and it is still second-hand, and the market valuation is only worth a few hundred thousand.
The case handler said don't be afraid, we will definitely help you recover the money!
Whether it can be recovered is still a question, the most tricky thing at the moment is that there is not enough working capital, and the future business will be ruined?
This blow made me depressed for more than half a month. Sister Qing said that the God of Wealth would protect us, and I don't know where the God of Wealth ran to fool around, and I didn't even see a shadow when I needed his protection. It is estimated that he went home to enjoy happiness after being bribed by his sister Qing, so he didn't have time to pay attention to us at all. No one can be anyone's protector, an umbrella, as the saying goes, "only you can save yourself".
As expected, Sister Qing's money in hand has been "exhausted". Except for hoping that the case-handling staff could catch the ship owner sooner, I really couldn't think of any other way to comfort myself and my sister.
