Chapter 398: Fire

In the event of a fire in this era, there is no relatively complete rescue team like in later generations, and you can only rely on the people around you to help, and the rescue equipment used is also very simple, so basically once the fire spreads, the property cannot be saved at all, and there may be casualties.

"And what about his warehouse? Will there be any impact on our supply? Meng Youyou breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect that her casual words at that time would come true so quickly.

"Most of the warehouse burned down, and I'm afraid he will suffer heavy losses this time," Wu Qingbai remembered the tone of Huang Ming's voice on the phone, and was also worried about him, "If I hadn't listened to your words and bought a batch of firefighting equipment, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep even the remaining half, so he asked me to say thank you to you." ”

It was not easy to create the current family foundation from scratch, and no one thought that most of it would be directly destroyed because of a fire, even if the rest of the things were kept, but the previously signed contract, if it could not be supplied on time, it would also face a large amount of compensation, which was a fatal blow to Huang Ming.

"Thank me, I didn't need to, I said those words at the time for a purpose, not just to help him," Meng Youyou shook his head, not thinking that he could afford to say thank you.

"For the injured people, he just needs to pacify them, put the money in place, solve their worries, and the rest can only start all over again."

Meng Youyou knows Wu Qingbai's thoughts, if something like this happens to them, it will definitely be very uncomfortable, not everyone can clap their hands and say that they can do it again, courage has the first time, it does not mean that there will be a second time, besides, if there is an opportunity, there will be no one.

As Huang Ming's biggest customer, they are now almost the key to deciding his life and death, so when Huang Ming came to the door, Meng Youyou was not surprised.

Huang Ming took the assistant to put all the New Year's gifts in his hand on the ground, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm really sorry, I came over to tell you this during the New Year, but I have no choice, please give me half an hour, so that I can finish my words and have a bottom in my heart." ”

It happened during the Chinese New Year, he has been staying in the hospital for the past few days, especially afraid that the lives of the two employees will be in danger, after making sure that the person can survive, Huang Ming immediately contacted the family to discuss the compensation, and then rushed to B City to find Wu Qingbai and them, without a moment's delay.

"You sit down and talk," Wu Qingbai suppressed his emotions in his heart, pointed to the sofa, and said.

Huang Ming sat in the corner of the sofa, and looked at Meng Youyou again, he knew that the person who could really get an idea among their nephews and uncles was Meng Youyou, and his tone slowed down, "Most of my warehouse has been destroyed, even if I think of a way to turn your goods from other places, there must be a shortage of supply, I want to ask, can you see how many days of grace for me under the special circumstances." ”

"Boss Huang, you also know what supermarkets do, there are so many supermarkets across the country, once there are no goods on the shelves, isn't that tantamount to losing trust to customers and pushing customers to other stores? What's more, it is still the time when the purchasing power is the strongest during the Chinese New Year, and in that case we will also lose a lot. ”

Meng Youyou knew that he was embarrassed, but she couldn't do what he said, otherwise it would affect the reputation of the supermarket.

"I know, but I really can't help it," Huang Ming knew the losses they might face, but he really didn't know what to do.

"Then we can only find other suppliers," Meng Youyou sighed and said helplessly, "Even so, whether the people who will be found in a while and a half can be trusted, the starting price is certain, and those franchisees must have complaints in their hearts, and it is difficult for us to do it." ”

Who wouldn't complain? Huang Ming is in difficulty, but Meng Youyou and they also have to suffer losses because of him, which is also certain, so no matter how low his posture is, if he doesn't come up with an attitude to solve the problem, Meng Youyou doesn't want to hurt himself by helping him, this kind of worthless business, no one will do it.

Huang Ming was anxious when he heard this, he always knew that although he was their largest supplier, he was not the only one, if he lost such a big customer as them at this time, then he was afraid that he would never have such an opportunity in the future.

"In this way, I will supply you as scheduled, but can you please give me the payment in advance," Huang Ming hesitated for a moment and said his thoughts, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I say, and I will never break my word." ”

For Meng Youyou, they need to take risks, but for Huang Ming, it is almost a loss-making transaction, because he will have no goods for a while and a half, so he can only go to others to collect them, and the price will definitely rise after the toss, Huang Ming only hopes that it will not rise too outrageously.

"What if you take our money and run away?" Meng Youyou's question was very practical.

If you want to find someone, it's easy to say it's easy, it's hard to say it's difficult, but if you want to find the money that a person is carrying, it's too difficult, and to be honest, she doesn't want to take such a big risk.

Huang Ming wanted to say that he swore that he wouldn't, but this is not a child's house, how can he say it is one thing, and others who don't want to believe it still won't believe it, "Then what do you say?" I listen to you. ”

Meng Youyou and Wu Qingbai glanced at each other, "We don't embarrass you, because we also want to really help you, but I hope you can remember this feeling, don't forget about today when you develop in the future." ”

Huang Ming hurriedly said that he would not, "Our supply price can be lowered a little further, I will give you another profit, and the contract will be signed with you again." ”

This is his greatest sincerity, Meng Youyou can see it, and he doesn't go around in circles with him anymore, and said, "How many goods can you supply, count them all when you go back, give us a list, and then we will contact other suppliers to see if we can transfer a batch of goods from them, and finally if there is anything missing, we will give you half of the payment, and you can figure it out yourself." ”

It must be better for them to come forward to find other suppliers than Huang Ming, because everyone wants to cooperate for a long time, even if the price increases, it can't be too outrageous.

"In addition, if we can help you transfer the goods of your other customers, we will try our best to help, but if we can't help, then there is no way."

Having said that, Huang Ming couldn't ask for more, although it was different from what he thought, but it had already helped him a lot, at least he didn't have to pay much liquidated damages.
