Chapter 139: Five times the liquidated damages
There is such a provision in the industry, and five times the liquidated damages can be set in the case of expedited.
However, this kind of contract is generally not made with outsiders.
Unless they can get an acquaintance to help.
One day half a month later, Xiami rushed into the study with more than 20 deeds in hand.
"Boss, no, it's not good, something big has happened."
Seeing that he was running out of breath, Tang Mian asked him to sit down and talk first, but Xiami's mind was full of leaking water in the warehouse and losing money if he couldn't hand over the goods.
"What? Didn't you ask someone to check the roof of the warehouse the other day, didn't you say it was fine? What's going on now? Tang Mian's eyes widened, and he was a little confused.
It's been raining a lot lately, and the fruit dan peel is something that can't get wet.
How much money will be lost for the leakage of this warehouse.
After a while, Tian Bo calculated a comparison.
They have a total of seven warehouses, five of which have leaking roofs, losing more than two-thirds of the fruit dan peels, and the delivery date is approaching.
A total of nearly 3 million taels of silver will be lost in liquidated damages!
"Why are there so many!" Tang Mian exclaimed.
Tian Bo took out one of the contracts, and the other party asked for 500,000 taels worth of fruit dan peels, because he was in a hurry to transport them back to sell, and he specially agreed with them to pay five times the liquidated damages.
"Boss Wu?" Tang Mian glanced at his name and felt a little angry, and when he opened it back, he found that the person who made the contract was Uncle Zhao.
hurriedly called someone to come over to him, and when he asked, he learned that this Boss Wu had been cooperating with them in business.
That's why I want so many fruit pills, Uncle Zhao sent someone to investigate him, and only signed the deed with him after finding that there was no problem, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Lin Zi took someone to the warehouse to inspect it, and found that it was damaged by a knife.
After listening to his words, Tang Mian immediately realized that they had been tricked.
"Dongjia, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's because I trust others too much that so many things will happen......" Uncle Zhao blamed himself, since he became the shopkeeper of Tang Mian's shop, he felt that his life had regained its brilliance and lived freely and comfortably.
He regretted the fact that the owner owed such a large sum of money because of his mistake.
"Whew!" Tang Mian took a breath and waved his hand to ask Uncle Zhao and a few of them to step back, saying that they needed to be quiet.
When the night fell, Tang Mian received Du Yunze's accurate reply.
When she saw the number of fruit peels he reported, she smiled.
Just before starting to sell fruit dan peel, Du Yunze suddenly found her and said that he wanted to help process fruit dan peel.
lest his father and aunt come and stumble on her.
I didn't expect it!
Du Yunze really said it.
If he hadn't listened to him at the beginning, he would have lost a lot of money now.
After reading the letter, she got up and burned it.
Since Boss Wu and they want to see her lack of money so much, then satisfy them.
Early the next morning, Tang Mian immediately announced that he would stop selling fruit dan peels from now on, and deliver the goods that were not wet to the rest of the bosses first.
As for the big boss Wu, she needs to explain to the other party in person and strive for a grace period of half a month.
Soon, Uncle Zhao contacted Boss Wu.
He also asked Tang Mian to discuss business in the box on the second floor of Yancui Building.
"Boss Tang, I am deeply sympathetic to your experience, but you also have to be considerate of me, I spent so much money to buy your fruit dan peel this time, in order to make a big profit, now you can't deliver on time, you must compensate five times the silver, otherwise I will sue the government!" Boss Wu and Master Du already knew each other, and he was willing to help Master Du this time because of the money.
Master Du said that as long as Tang Mian took out 2.5 million taels of silver, he would give him 2 million taels of silver.
The previous principal of 500,000 taels was from Master Du, and he got 2 million taels of silver for nothing, so he would not miss this opportunity.
Looking at the greed in his eyes, Tang Mian smiled and said nothing.
Since there is no need to talk about it, it is no wonder that she is not kind.
"Boss Wu, I also know that this matter is difficult for you to do, but if you can make a convenient grace for a few days, I promise to send you another 500,000 taels of goods. Do you want to stop thinking about it? Tang Mian slowed down his tone, lowered his voice and discussed with him, there was a little more helplessness in his eyes, and immediately let Boss Wu decide that they couldn't hand over so many goods.
He was overjoyed, and said with some embarrassment on his face: "Boss Tang, in business, all I do is a small business, and I also want to give a few days, but the bosses who cooperate with me in the business are all waiting for the goods." Please don't embarrass me! ”
When they returned to the Four Seasons Inn, everyone saw Tang Mian's depressed expression on his face, and their hearts became even more anxious.
It seems that Boss Wu is unwilling to forgive a few days.
But this is understandable, after all, it was they who defaulted first.
There are still three days left to deliver, and they have been working overtime.
After three days, you can deliver as much as you can.
"Master, you can rest quickly! I have tens of thousands of taels in my hand, Qiao Sheng has more than 100,000 taels in his hand, a few of us will scrape together the silver, and the rest will be compensated to Boss Wu later in the future, I believe he will not refuse......" Xiao Cui entered the house and said to Tang Mian after putting down the teacup in his hand.
It is said that the tree is a big wind, and only they will do it, as long as you pay more attention in the future, these silver coins will soon be earned.
After waiting for Xiao Cui to retreat, Lin Zi sneaked into the house.
"Miss Tang, Guo Danpi will be able to arrive early the day after tomorrow."
"Lin Zi, this time it's really hard for you. But there's one more thing I need your help with. Tang Mian said here, motioning for him to come closer.
Earlier, Lin Zi asked his subordinates to go to the vicinity of the warehouse to keep an eye on it.
No suspicious characters were found.
And the news that came back was that the top of the warehouse had been vandalized, and the traces were different from old and new.
Some time ago, when Tian Bo bought these warehouses, he asked someone to renovate the roof.
Doesn't this mean that someone eats inside and out, and she doesn't feel at ease if she doesn't catch these few fine works for a day.
"Boss, are you telling the truth? Young Master Du really has so many fruit pill peels over there! Tian Bo stared at a pair of dark circles and asked, he was so worried about the delivery that he didn't rest well for two or three days.
At this time, when he heard Tang Mian say that Du Yunze also had a lot of fruit pill peels over there, his heart hanging in mid-air also fell to the ground.
The crisis was over, and everyone was happy.
In order to prevent the goods from being tampered with, Lin Zi asked several brothers to take turns to monitor this side.
But he was still turned around when he changed shifts.
"It's out of the water—"
Hearing someone shouting, Tian Bo rushed out of the house with his clothes on.
"Quick, go fetch water to put out the fire—quick—" Looking at the flames in the sky, his eyes turned red, it has been raining a lot lately, and the ground is wet, how can a fire burn a large area.
"Tian Bo, these mud blocks smell of kerosene." Shrimp also noticed that something was wrong with the fire, and hurriedly took some soil to his nose and sniffed it a few times.
By the time the fire was extinguished, the contents of the warehouse were burned to the ground.
When Tang Mian arrived, he saw Tian Bo sitting on the ground, crying loudly.
Gone! Not only did the warehouse burn down, but even the fruit dan peel was gone.
The owner is really going bankrupt now.
"Tian Bo." Tang Mian hurriedly went to pick him up, but he shook his head desperately, and opened his mouth to say that it was all his own fault and that he didn't take care of the goods.
Just when Tang Mian wanted to comfort him a few words, Xiami hurriedly came and said that Boss Wu had come to receive the goods in person.
Later, Tang Mian followed him back to the Four Seasons Inn.
Boss Wu, who received the news early in the morning, knew that all the goods shipped back from Tang Mian's warehouse were burned to ashes, and he was not in a hurry at all.
