Blackstone Code Chapter 1021: Countdown to bankruptcy
The host and hostess drove two cars and found a second-hand car dealership near the center of the city. The previous host had traded with the owner of the dealership.
As soon as the two cars stopped, the owner of the dealership knew that the business was coming. He wore a cowboy hat, walked out of the room, and called out the name of the male owner.
As he looked at the two cars, he asked, "Long time no see, are you going to buy something this time?"
He actually knew that the two were here to sell cars, but he still "wrongly" said "buy something".
He has been in this business for many years and knows how to say the right words to compliment different people, he even introduced a convertible for young people!
"For 13,500 bucks, you can take it back, and both boys and girls will love this!"
He stood beside a dark blue convertible, stroking the refurbished paint, proudly, "I'm the only one in the whole city that has such a high-end source!"
Convertibles are really rare, they haven't been around for a long time, and they're mostly sold to people who have indoor garages and don't have just one car.
After all, it's hard to drive this kind of car out in the rain, and no one thinks it's fun to sit in a four-wheeled bathtub and hit the streets.
If this had happened yesterday, the host would have been interested in the car, and Judy would sometimes drive her mother's car and sometimes ride it.
In the past, her classmates and current colleagues often came to pick her up, so she has not bought a car yet.
It's really pretty, but right now, they can't afford it.
"No, you misunderstood, we are here to sell cars." The male host squeezed out some unsightly smiles. It was indeed a misunderstanding, but this misunderstanding made him feel a little better.
In the eyes of these people, he is still a rich man, and his personality and self-esteem are satisfied.
In fact, he didn't know that the owner of the used car dealer in front of him was the real rich man, richer than him.
But...smart people are like this, they don't let the people who buy and sell used cars realize how profitable he is as a dealership owner, he doesn't wear gold necklaces with thick gemstones on his fingers, much less Wearing clothes that cost thousands of dollars.
That would make people who sell cars think they're driving too low a price, and people who buy cars that think they're too expensive.
On this one, it looks a little sloppy, but it is more suitable for his current job.
The owner of the car dealership looked as if he was in a daze for saying the wrong thing. He was stunned for a moment, and clasped his hands together, clasping them together, "Sorry, I said the wrong thing, then you guys plan to..."
He looked at the two cars, "Which one do we deal with?"
In fact, he knew early on that what else could he do with two cars besides selling them?
Looking at his wife's reluctant gaze, the male owner patted his car, "I want to sell my car, how much is it worth?"
…
On the way back, it was very quiet in the carriage. While waiting for a traffic light, the hostess who was driving suddenly said, "Thank you..."
The host smiled, "It's nothing, needless to say thank you, my car is more expensive, which will also get us more money."
He touched his pocket, and the thin stack of bills in it exchanged for his car. The price was much lower than he thought.
He bought a new car for nearly 35,000 yuan, but now he's selling it for only 6,500 yuan.
He also knows that his car only needs a simple refurbishment and can sell it for at least more than 10,000 yuan, but he can't do it himself.
In the evening, Judy came back from the outside. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the maid who had worked in the family for a long time with her luggage and left crying.
She was a little puzzled. She walked into the living room, where her parents were waiting for her in the dining room.
"I haven't cooked for a long time, how about trying my craft?" She took off her apron and sat at the table looking at Judy expectantly.
Judy looked at her father in confusion, then looked at her mother, and sat down slowly, "What's wrong with the maid?"
The host said casually, "Something happened to her at home and she needs to leave us for a while. Your mother and I think there is no need to change people for the time being. She will come back after a while."
Judy also nodded, "It is true, she is very reliable, her hands and feet are clean, then let me try my mother's craftsmanship, I miss it very much!"
A very warm dinner, except Judy, only the husband and wife knew what happened.
They decided to fire the maid to save money. No matter how cheap the maid was, it would cost more than three hundred yuan per month.
In the past, the money was like a quarter of a quarter coin in their pockets, but now, it has increased in value.
The next day, there was still no ship to deliver. The man was completely desperate. He had explained the situation to the other side and was willing to actively compensate according to the breach of contract.
He tried to use a good attitude to get the other party's understanding, so as not to hold the company accountable, so that he only needs to pay a liquidated damages.
The hostess was also cleared out by the board of directors. She caused the company to lose a large order and became a joke in the industry. Several orders were temporarily put on hold because of the possibility of fraudulent assessment.
The board of directors told the hostess that if the results of the investigation show that she colluded with the appraisal company and tampered with the appraisal results, the company would pursue her various responsibilities and make claims.
Before that, she has to pack her things and get out.
Said to be a senior partner, in fact, in the final analysis, that is, a senior tool person.
Maybe their income is high, but so is the risk.
After a busy day outside at night, Judy came back a little earlier than usual, and at dinner she asked her father where the car went.
The host smiled and said that she had been borrowed. Judy did not continue to question her, and went back to her room after eating. She also thought about what powers she could use for herself.
A few days later, the goods were loaded smoothly. Watching them get on the ship, the man squatted in the toilet in the port and cried bitterly.
After he returned to the company to explain the situation, and had paid the liquidated damages with the contact personnel sent by the other party, and signed a letter of understanding, the company fired him.
There's not a shred of leeway, it's that simple, direct, dismiss him.
You don't even need to pay him a penny more in severance pay!
At night, the couple lay in bed, both had insomnia, and didn't fall asleep until very late.
But at eight o'clock the next morning, they were awakened by a sudden knock on the door.
Judy opened the door, and there were five well-dressed people outside the door, and you can tell what kind of industry they are probably in at a glance.
Someone is carrying a brown calfskin suitcase, another is carrying a briefcase, and Judy is standing by the door, somewhat bewildered.
The first person outside the door handed a business card, "I'm from the legal department of Jinhui Bank... This is my business card." He reported his home.
He then introduced his colleagues and asked if the girl's parents were home.
At this time, the hostess and hostess also changed their clothes. They were extremely haggard. Judy couldn't believe that they had become so...old, overnight.
"What's the matter?", the man who used to be positive and optimistic, full of energy, and loves to talk about adventures, has now become like a frightened deer.
He is cautious, fearful, and powerless.
The voice was audible, he seemed to be frightened and trembling.
"We note that you and your wife have just been relieved of their duties. The assessment department has re-assessed your family and we believe that you do not have the ability to pay subsequent loans and repay your credit."
"So now we're talking about multiple loans..."
Judy's eyes widened, looking at her parents in disbelief, while the hostess just smiled wryly and led people in, not forgetting to show her kindness.
"I'm so sorry to make you come here, you can call me, I can go to the bank..."
The five just kept smiling. They were used to seeing similar situations, and their hearts had long been harder than alloys.
The hostess asked Judy to go to work or go outside or go back to her room, but Judy lost her temper.
She did not do so, but stood in the living room.
People at the bank don't think she has blonde hair, is beautiful, and has a good figure, so she... becomes soft-hearted.
They will only be harder.
"I noticed that your savings have fallen below the warning line, and we also know that you have lost your job, if you are unable to generate new jobs within fifteen days and earn more than $3,500 per month ..."
The lawyer took out a document from the suitcase and handed it over, "Then according to the agreement you signed with the bank, we have the right to freeze all your assets before we face a huge loss ~IndoMTL.com~."
"Including, but not limited to, real estate, cars, jewelry, antiques, art, etc., including the furniture here, everything."
"We're here today to take stock of these things and register them. Each of you can choose to keep two sets of underwear, two sets of clothes for the season, and two sets of clothes for winter."
"We will not record these, other than that, others will be recorded and listed..."
He took out another small tag with a number and a buckle on it.
After showing it for a while, I gave it to the people around me, "So are the three clear?"
"You can get your lawyer to talk to me now if you need it, or you can refuse this, but we will immediately apply to the court for some countermeasures."
"So can I get my colleagues to work?"
The male host lowered his head, looked at the document, and was very attentive, and the lawyer did not urge him.
When he slowly read the last page, he nodded in silence.
Then the three staff members started to work quickly. They snapped and numbered everything they could see, and recorded them in their notebooks...
Judy couldn't help asking, "If we took some of it..."
Before she could finish, the lawyer smiled and said, "Then we'll charge you with theft, ma'am, you don't want us to do that, do you?"
