Chapter 370: A Few Boxes
"Come, sister-in-law, Brother Tang, try this tomahawk steak."
Putting the tray on the table and removing the lid on it, Cheng Kecheng said while busy opening red wine: "I saw the chef cut it out with my own eyes, and the heat is absolutely excellent."
Well, you eat and drink first, and then I'll go to the kitchen to urge some dishes. ”
With that, Cheng Kecheng turned around and was about to leave.
"Mr. Cheng, you better sit down first."
Tang Hao blocked Cheng Kecheng's way and said, "Mr. Kang, the master, hasn't come yet, so it seems a little unreasonable for our department to wait a minute, right?" ”
"She'll be here in a moment."
Cheng Kecheng said: "I have already called him just now. ”
"Then wait."
Tang Hao waved his hand and said, "Let's talk casually first."
By the way, how did you deal with it over there? ”
"What else can I do?"
Cheng Kecheng shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "I have already asked the lawyer to negotiate with them and formally ask for the termination of the contract."
Hehe, this time it is really thanks to Brother Tang, you only need to pay 300,000 liquidated damages, you can get out of the quagmire in the future, avoid the crisis of Tengda company being implicated, and make a lot of money! ”
"What? Do you also have to pay liquidated damages? ”
Cheng Kecheng's words made Ye Qinghan take a little aback, and said very unfairly: "Obviously, they Jinfeng Liquor is at fault first, cheating consumers, this kind of substandard product does not have the basis for cooperation with our company, why should we be accompanied by liquidated damages?" ”
"Sister-in-law, I don't want to pay this money either."
Cheng Kecheng spread his hands and said, "But we have no evidence."
This kind of thing without evidence, Bluestar Wine will not admit it if it is killed.
Judging from the current situation, accompanying a sum of money in exchange for getting out in time is already the best way to deal with it. ”
"Didn't you find someone to test those drinks?"
Ye Qinghan was still a little puzzled and said: "Could it be that Jinfeng Wine is still unwilling to admit such conclusive evidence?" ”
"Sister-in-law, things are not as simple as you think."
Seeing that Ye Qinghan really didn't know the twists and turns, Cheng Kecheng patiently explained: "I did the test through my father's wine testing center, which is just an internal organization under the Lido Group.
As a hotel and catering group, Lido needs to buy a lot of alcohol every year, not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of brands, so my father specially founded this testing center, so that the annual testing fee saved is not a few.
But there is no harm in doing so, just like this time, Bluestar Wine can completely disagree with the test results, and we have nothing to do with them.
The main thing is that now we are just talking about the problem with Bluestar wines, and there is no outbreak in the market, and I signed the contract, which leads to us being very passive now. ”
After listening to Cheng Kecheng's explanation, Ye Qinghan was also a little dumbfounded, she said that she really didn't expect the situation inside to be so complicated.
At this time, Tang Hao suddenly said: "Maybe I have a way for you not to have to pay this money." ”
"Brother Tang, what do you have a good idea? Speak up and listen to it. ”
Cheng Kecheng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Tang Hao expectantly, why did she forget, there was a great god sitting in front of her, if he could give a few words, maybe he really wouldn't have to pay this money, although he Cheng Kecheng is a super rich second generation, but he doesn't have the money to the point where he can casually take hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to the water, especially now when he falls out with the old man.
"Hahaha, Mr. Tang, Cheng Shao, there will be nothing wrong, there is something to delay, I am late for a while."
Without waiting for Tang Hao to speak, in a burst of laughter, Kang Mao strode over and said with a smile: "Don't you introduce me to the two of you, who is this beautiful lady?" ”
"I'll introduce you."
Cheng Kecheng hurriedly stood up to welcome Kang Maocai to take a seat, and introduced the two parties: "This is Ms. Ye Qinghan, who is my company's right-hand man and Brother Tang's family.
Sister-in-law, this is the general manager of the Lido Hotel, Mr. Kang Maocaikang. ”
As soon as he heard that this was Tang Hao's wife, Kang Mao hurriedly said hello to Ye Qinghan, took out a golden membership card and handed it over, and said, "Ms. Ye, this membership card was originally intended for Brother Tang, since you are the head of the house, it must not have his share."
This is our Lido Gold Card, you can get a 7% discount on consumption in Lido, and please be sure to accept it. ”
Ye Qinghan was a little confused, it was already unbelievable enough for the boss of a five-star hotel to invite Tang Hao to dinner, why did he have to send a membership card at the first time?
"Sister-in-law, you can take it."
Without waiting for Ye Qinghan to refuse, Cheng Kecheng couldn't help but take the card, stuffed it in her hand, and said: "Mr. Kang is also soliciting customers for the hotel, which is not a fake public benefit." ”
"Haha, you kid."
Kang Mao nodded at Cheng Kecheng, naturally changed the topic, and said, "What were you talking about just now, so lively?" ”
"Let's talk about the in my company.
Cheng Kecheng said a little depressedly: "It's the matter that Bluestar Wine asked me for liquidated damages."
Brother Tang said that he had a way to solve the matter without me having to pay for it, and I was about to ask for advice, but I was interrupted by Mr. Kang.
Uncle Kang, I have something to say first, if it is because of you, Brother Tang is unwilling to say the way, you will have to give me the answer.
You also know that the old man hasn't been waiting to see me lately, and I'm almost overstretched. ”
As soon as he heard that this kid even called Uncle Kang out, Kang Mao almost laughed angrily, and said angrily: "Do you know that the boss hasn't treated you much recently?"
I'm telling you, you're doing it on your own.
Okay, let's not talk about these digressions, let's listen to Brother Tang's opinions. ”
Under the burning gaze of the two, Tang Hao just wanted to speak, but he saw Ye Qinghan blinking at him vigorously, as if warning him not to talk nonsense.
patted Ye Qinghan's arm under the table comfortingly, Tang Hao said confidently: "Mr. Cheng, in fact, you are a fan of the authorities, after the test results came out, I was a little anxious to ask for the predicament."
That's right, from the contract, it was your Tengda company that took the initiative to ask for the termination of the contract, and you are indeed in breach of contract first, if the other party requires you to pay liquidated damages, this is not to blame.
However, there is also a premise here, and that is that the other party to the contract is not at fault.
And now the fact is that there are obvious quality problems with the wine of Bluestar Wines, and you are worried about being implicated before you take the initiative to ask for the termination of the contract.
From the perspective of fairness and fairness, Bluestar Wine should give some compensation for Tengda's efforts to cooperate, because they are the party at fault. ”
"But here's the problem."
Cheng Kecheng said helplessly: "I also know that Bluestar Wine's wine does have quality problems, but this is only our own identification, and there is no official organization's approval.
Furthermore, even if we take the wine to an official agency for authentication, they can deny that it is a general quality problem. ”
What Tang Hao said, Cheng Kecheng had actually discussed it with the lawyer a long time ago, but in the end he decided that it would be better to settle the matter as soon as possible, saving too long of delay, and then causing other rights and wrongs.
In any case, Bluestar Liquor is a veteran enterprise in the industry, and a small advertising company in Tengda has taken the initiative to breach the contract is already very bold, and then go to someone to ask for compensation, not to mention whether the lawsuit can be won or not, the gap in personal connections alone cannot be made up.
To be honest, Cheng Kecheng's consideration is reasonable, the first thing for a small company is survival, and only those who survive are qualified to think about the future.
However, Tang Hao's starting point is obviously different from Cheng Kecheng, because he knows in his heart that Bluestar Wine will fall into the whirlpool of public opinion in a short time, and at that time, will Bluestar Wine still have the heart to deal with a small advertising company?
The difference in starting point determines the difference in the angle from which Tang Hao and Cheng Kecheng think about the problem, and it is destined that the conclusions drawn by the two will be very different.
Bluestar Wine will definitely explode within half a month, this matter has happened in the previous life, Tang Hao is clear in his heart, but about the future, Tang Hao can't say it, he can only start from the perspective of speculation, and say in a nutshell: "Mr. Cheng, the appraisal results have shown that most of the products of Bluestar Wine are more or less adulterated with industrial alcohol.
I believe that I don't need to say much about the harm of industrial alcohol to people, everyone knows it.
And the products produced by Bluestar Wine are impossible to hold in their own hands, that is to flow to the market, after all, they open such a large factory, it is impossible not to make money.
Besides, Mr. Cheng, the drinks you took for testing were originally bought on the market, which just shows that these problematic drinks have actually been circulating for a long time.
There are many kinds of products under Bluestar Wine, but the largest sales volume is mainly low-priced wine under 100 yuan, and this kind of wine friends are just the usual ration wine of the common people, many people will save a few boxes at home, but they will not always stop drinking, after all, the wine is not bought back to drink!
If you drink wine containing industrial alcohol, it may be nothing if you have less, but the sales volume of Bluestar Wine is so large, and people will definitely have an accident if they drink too much, it's just a matter of time, you don't object to this, right? ”
Cheng Kecheng nodded honestly, Tang Hao said it so clearly and clearly, he really couldn't refute it.
Smiling confidently, Tang Hao continued: "Jinfeng Wine has no accident now, it can only be regarded as their luck, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? Will they ever be lucky?
Mr. Cheng was in such a hurry to terminate the contract with them, didn't he also know that their accident was an inevitable result?
Since this is the case, there is no need to be in such a hurry, it is better to leave this matter out and give him a cold treatment, maybe a quality crisis will break out in Bluestar Wine in a few days.
At that time, your Tengda company will add another fire, not only do you not have to pay liquidated damages, but if you are lucky, you may be able to get back some hard-earned money.
And Mr. Cheng, all you have to pay is a little time, why not do it. ”
Cheng Kecheng and Kang Maocai were a little distracted, Tang Hao's reason is very simple, that is, take the time to bet on tomorrow, as long as it is delayed until there is a problem in Bluestar Wine, then they will win.
Cheng Kecheng was in a hurry to pay liquidated damages before, because he was afraid that he would have a long night and many dreams, and this matter would affect the reputation of Tengda Company itself if it dragged on for a long time.
Regarding Cheng Kecheng's concern, Tang Hao smiled: "What's so difficult about this?
You can first send a lawyer's letter to Bluestar Wine and ask them to explain the adulteration of the product, and the evidence is the test report you just got.
Regardless of whether these test results have legal effect, anyway, you can talk about this, if Bluestar Wine is not satisfied and comes up with evidence, it is really not possible, you can entrust an institution that can be trusted by both parties to re-conduct the test.
In this way, regardless of whether Bluestar Wine agrees to re-test or not, this matter will not be solved quickly in a day or two.
Of course, while arguing with Bluestar Wine, Mr. Cheng, you can't be idle, let your company's legal department prepare the litigation materials, and even submit them first and sue them directly.
However, don't rush to court in this case, Mr. Cheng, you can use some means to make the trial schedule of the case as late as possible, and don't be in a hurry to announce the news to the outside world.
