Chapter 53: The Storm
"No, I said that you are a big leader who slanders people, why do you still do it?"
Chu Mingchen was already unhappy when he was blackmailed by Director Liu, and when he saw him treat Master Luo like this, he was even more reluctant in his heart, and he had to argue with him.
"Am I doing this? I'm managing my own staff! Hearing Chu Mingchen's words, Director Liu's tone began to be unkind, "Besides, I asked you to compensate according to the price, why did you slander people?" You're thinking that you don't have the money to compensate, and you want to be a scoundrel, right? ”
"You have to talk about the charter when you manage employees!" Chu Mingchen is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and shouted loudly, "You have to come up with a standard for compensation!" You say that if you lose a million, you will lose a million! How old are you! ”
"How old am I? You say I'm the oldest! After being split by this hairy boy, Director Liu couldn't hold his face, his whole face turned red, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke, "I am the boss of this lumber mill, and I am guilty of telling you about the charter?" Still tell you about the standard? You know a! Also a college student at Tianyang University! It's so unqualified, isn't it? Speaking of Tianyang University, Director Liu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked at the workshop director, "That Lao Li, he is an intern brought by Lao Luo, right?" Call their teacher, and he will find the teacher if he doesn't pay for it! Find a school! Whoever brings the person will pay! ”
After speaking, he also glanced at Chu Mingchen defiantly:
"I can't cure you yet!"
"Eh, I said, why are you unreasonable!" Chu Mingchen was furious, not to be outdone, and pointed at Director Liu's nose and stepped forward, "Whoever you call is not worth a million!" ”
"Why isn't it worth a million? I say it's worth it! This is also the number of the Heavenly King! ”
"I think you're out of the eye! You're blackmailing! I called the police! ”
The two of them just said a word to me, and they quarreled inseparably.
Fortunately, there were workers who were fighting between the two, and the workshop director who came together to calm down the turmoil, so they didn't make a big deal out of it.
The workshop director called Ye Fangyu and arranged for the parties to go to the conference room to discuss the solution.
The personnel of the two parties sat on both sides of the conference table, and although Chu Mingchen was weak, he was still neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the seven or eight workers on the opposite side and the factory director Liu, who was eyeing him fiercely.
While waiting for Ye Fangyu, Chu Mingchen asked the security room to retrieve the surveillance video, so that the big guy could see the whole story clearly; He also asked the warehouse manager to take out the system and norms for the storage of valuable furniture on weekdays, and find out the terms of workers' illegal operations one by one.
The purpose of this is to clarify the division of responsibilities.
In the surveillance video, Chu Mingchen and Lou Xinyue did not touch the screen, but it cannot be denied that Lou Xinyue should not go to the finished product warehouse to stay inside, and the workers stopped to avoid Lou Xinyue and caused the screen to fall to the ground; But then again, if the workers had been able to secure the screen with ropes as required by the code, such an accident might not have happened.
After clarifying this, Chu Mingchen had the confidence to negotiate.
When he was thinking about how to speak, he heard Lou Xinyue next to him whisper to himself: "Otherwise, forget it!" Isn't it just a million? This is also my responsibility, I will tell my dad and pay them back. ”
In Lou Xinyue's eyes, although this money is not a small amount, it is not worth wasting time arguing with them after all.
"No way!" When Chu Mingchen refused, he still didn't understand the brain circuit of this rich second-generation eldest lady, "You are stupid and willing to fall for this, if I don't see it, then I definitely have no opinion." But I'm here today, no one wants Lao Tzu to suffer this nest! ”
Lou Xinyue still wanted to speak, but when she saw Chu Mingchen glaring at her, she closed her mouth again and quietly listened to him and Director Liu.
"Judging from the surveillance video, it is true that we are wrong, but your own management is not in place, and the responsibility ratio is at least fifty-fifty!"
Director Liu didn't expect Chu Mingchen's lion to open his mouth, and cut off half of it when he opened his mouth, and his already long face was stretched longer: "As soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, you will lose 500,000 yuan?" To put it lightly! Hmph, a million points can't be less, that's it, I'll give you a discount! ”
"Don't get me wrong." Chu Mingchen immediately sat up straight, "The five or five kai I said is only the proportion of responsibility, and the specific amount of compensation depends on the actual value of this thing." He said, raising his chin to the screen in the surveillance video, "The marble of this screen is an ordinary color, as for the wood of the Huanghuali base, no matter how good the carving is, it is not an antique cultural toy, I estimate that 200,000 yuan is also based on Master Luo's craftsmanship, and if you make a discount, you will be compensated at most 100,000." ”
"What?!"
Hearing this number, Director Liu jumped up, picked up a teacup casually, and wanted to beat this offspring who spoke wildly along the conference table:
"This is the old timber from the old Tianyang Lumber Mill when it was built fifty years ago! Two large cars of wood with a diameter of ten centimeters can match such a texture! Authentic gold oil lattice water ripples! You go to the market to inquire, who still has so many top Hainan Huanghuali! You're playing this joke on me here! How your teacher taught you! How did your mom and dad teach you!! ”
The lid of the white porcelain teacup flew out of the cup, wiping Chu Mingchen's curly hair and smashing it into the filing cabinet behind, shattering the porcelain pieces all over the ground with a "pop".
Lou Xinyue was so frightened that she hid her head under the conference table, and only poked her head out after a while, but saw Chu Mingchen's fist clenched tightly on the table, and the green tendons burst out, as if she was going to pick it up in the next second and smash it on Director Liu's face.
"Chu Mingchen...... she hurriedly pulled Chu Mingchen's cuffs.
Chu Mingchen froze for a long time before slowly letting go of his fist.
The workshop director and other workers, who didn't pay attention to the situation here, hurriedly pulled Director Liu back to his place and comforted him indiscriminately: "Factory director, factory director! Eliminate gas, eliminate gas! What do you say you have to do with a child? Spread it out and laugh at you! ”
"What are you laughing at me? If he smashes the screen, he has to pay money, and the child can not compensate? Can children be lawless? Director Liu also realized that he was too excited, but he still stubbornly snorted, "Besides, the matter will be over after compensation?" What should I do if I can't deliver this goods? ”
"Yes, yes, yes! We know that you are afraid that you will not be able to deliver the goods by then, and you are in a hurry. The workshop director continued to say good things, "The matter of compensation will be discussed when their teacher comes, you are not doing it right." Don't get angry about the delivery, there are still wood on the left and right, let's work overtime and then do it? ”
"yes!" Several workers chimed in.
Master Luo, who had been trying to persuade but couldn't speak, saw that no one was in the mood to look at his mute, so he had to write the word "cost" on straw paper and show it to Chu Mingchen.
Although this apprentice has only been with him for a few days, he can see that Chu Mingchen is not only a smart and studious child, but also a very caring child.
After knowing that he was deaf and mute, he not only did not dislike himself, but always helped himself do a lot of work.
And what touched him the most was that he, such a proud son, would take his son who is deaf to get a hearing aid. Although he couldn't hear the voice, he could see his son's happy smile after hearing the voice, and the mouth shape of shouting the word "Dad" with the help of Chu Mingchen, he, a father, was 10,000 times happier than hearing the voice.
Such a good child should not be embarrassed by Director Liu.
Chu Mingchen didn't react when he saw these two words, but Lou Xinyue screamed and directly suppressed the big men present:
"That's right! How much the screen is worth can't look at the selling price, it depends on your cost price! This screen must list the accounts separately, and the accounts are the clearest! Let your accountant bring the books! ”
The workshop director was busy getting the account books.
It wasn't until everyone saw the words "100,000" and "100,000" for wood and "100,000" on the ledger that the entire conference room was silent for a while, and then there was an uproar.
Lou Xinyue was naturally amazed by Chu Mingchen's valuation level, and Chu Mingchen also praised Lou Xinyue for not learning the "Ancient Construction Project Budget" in vain these days, and also knew how to look at the cost account.
But more, it's still the gossip of the workers:
"Factory director, you're not right, the cost is only 200,000, and you want 1 million when you open your mouth, which is too tricky!"
"Yes! This kind of wood is also spliced, and it is not easy to put together a base, and it is not easy for a student to have a lot of money. ”
The workshop director was full of smiles, and he didn't know what to say:
"Director, look ......"
But no matter how everyone persuaded him, Director Liu just didn't express his position.
Seeing this, Lou Xinyue finally began to use her lip service: "What about this money, if you say 100,000, it will be 100,000, and I will transfer it to you today." But if you just want a million, then you can talk to my lawyer! But I warn you, we have the right to countersue you for extortion! It's up to you! ”
Seeing that this beautiful little girl was silent, and when she spoke so powerfully, the workshop director was anxious and afraid, so he continued to persuade Director Liu.
Director Liu, who has always shown a strong attitude, is pretending to be a villain, but at this time he finally put down his disguise, "Oops!! He stomped his foot twice at the same time, and then held his head and told the truth.
It turned out that this screen was ordered by a big real estate boss.
In June last year, the big boss invested in an office park on the outskirts of Tianyang City, and the marble was given to him by others as a foundation laying gift, and the big boss wanted to use this marble to make a screen and put it in the hall on the first floor of the office building in the park. After the groundbreaking ceremony, someone was sent to send the marble to the Tianyang Timber Factory, the wood and patterns were selected, and the contract was also drawn up, and the material and labor costs were added together, which could be given to one million.
However, there is a clause in the contract that the goods must be delivered before June 15 of this year, otherwise they will be compensated according to the liquidated damages of 1 million.
This condition is very harsh, but the number of this list is too large.
At that time, Tianyang Timber Mill could not make any profit in the area of wood cutting and timber transportation, so it wanted to use the income from furniture production to balance its income and expenditure. However, because of the impact of European-style furniture factories and new furniture factories, there has been no business for several years, and in the past two years, it has only relied on customizing tables and chairs for individual customers who like antique furniture to maintain its operation. If there is no business, wages will not rise, and many skilled teachers and young people who need to support their families will leave. Those who remained, in addition to some old people who were full of love for wood carving, were some disabled people.
Hearing this, Chu Mingchen and Lou Xinyue found out that the workers in the conference room were not only deaf and mute people like Master Luo, but also several young workers who were physically disabled.
"This order is risky, but I have to take it! A million! They have to use money! In the past, Tianyang Timber Mill was so beautiful! Who doesn't give a thumbs up when you mention it? But what about then? European-style, pastoral, plate furniture factories have sprung up, those furniture are cheap and look good, to put me aside, I also like it! ”
Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and didn't speak, Director Liu cursed into the air again, "Who the wants to be the wrongdoer and buy such expensive solid wood carved furniture?" He said, and patted the circle-backed chair he was sitting on self-deprecatingly, "It's still so old-fashioned!" ”
Although his words revealed all kinds of disgust, his rough hands groped carefully on the smooth jade-like wood, revealing all kinds of reluctance.
When Director Liu said this, he sniffed and sat on the chair and looked at the ceiling: "I thought that after doing this list, everyone would be able to have a good life." But now that the screen is destroyed, and the goods cannot be delivered after half a month, the timber mill will pay one million in liquidated damages, one million! A million! ”
The hand that leaned over the furniture, after comparing the "1" three times, then hung down lightly.
Then, Director Liu got up and walked in front of Chu Mingchen and apologized embarrassedly:
"I really shouldn't embarrass you two children, but I really couldn't turn this corner just now, please forgive me."
Without waiting for Chu Mingchen to speak, he turned back to the room full of workers and said:
"As for liquidated damages, you don't have to worry about them. I really can't sell the house, and I can always get together by borrowing it from my relatives. As for what will happen to the Tianyang Timber Mill after that, I can't do anything about it......"
With that, he left the conference room.
