lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
It should be said that it is very rare for a "general" to be so responsible and his ideas are in place.
Even if it is to "lose money and eliminate disaster", this problem should be solved quickly to avoid worse results.
But there is still a big gap between thinking and doing. The "general" did not expect that there would be so many people in Bincheng who were eager to get rid of the "sea cucumber".
The National Day has just passed, and the price of sea cucumbers has actually dropped a bit, but the private transaction volume has continued to be sluggish. It is difficult for "General" to successfully sell sea cucumbers and realize cash in a short period of time.
In this case, the "general" can only think about his other assets. Try to sell off the famous wines, watches and wood that you have finally accumulated.
He first sent twenty watches to Manager Xie and the traffic captain to pay off the debt. He asked them both to help find a way out.
At the same time, he also entrusted this matter to the "old fat man" who came to Bincheng on business at this time every year. He felt that this old friend in the business world had many connections and might be able to help him find a buyer faster.
But then there was another unexpected thing. After learning about his situation, "Old Fatty" actually said that he had finished the work himself and was going back to Harbin tomorrow. I was afraid that he would not be able to find a buyer for him.
However, it gave him another idea.
"Lao Fei" means "general". It doesn't matter if the sea cucumbers cannot be sold in Bincheng. If he is willing, he can help sell them in Harbin. He has more connections there, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he can sell it for almost 40 yuan a pound. It's just that he didn't have any cash in hand to give to the "general". This time the work was all handed over to the relevant units, so he could only sell the sea cucumbers and then remit the money.
The "general" was surprised for a moment, and then hesitated.
This is a good idea, but the original transaction was to pay one hand and deliver the goods. In addition, he didn't know when the sea cucumbers would be sold. Ten thousand yuan was a lot of money. He was in a hurry to use it, but he was also afraid that he would be late.
"Old Fatty" seemed to see the "general's" worry, and then said, "Brother, if you are worried, I can give you an IOU. At worst, I will sell your goods first when I go back. If it's not easy to sell, I can help you collect the money when I go back. Anyway, I estimate that it will be remitted to you in at least three days and at most five days. I guarantee that I won't delay your cooperation for so long. Don't you believe it. Me?"
When the words came to this, the anxious "general" was really tempted. So out of trust in his long-standing friendship, he handed over three hundred kilograms of dried sea cucumbers to "Old Fatty" early the next morning.
After taking the IOU issued by the "old fat man", the "general" also said that he wanted 10,000 yuan, and any extra sold would be the reward of the "old fat man". And personally helped put the sea cucumber and "Lao Fei" on the train.
In the next few days, the "general" has been thinking about whether the "old fat" sales are going smoothly, and hopes to get the money as soon as possible to pay off those foreign debts first.
This way, he can breathe a sigh of relief. Next, you can start slowly and divide the rest of the sea cucumbers among the brothers.
He calculated that his own things plus the remaining sea cucumbers were worth roughly 60,000 yuan. The money of "Old Saury" must be repaid in full. Judging from their financial situation, it wouldn't be too difficult for those six boys to shoulder a deficit of 15,000 yuan.
If the price of sea cucumbers increases before the Spring Festival, this hole may be filled. In this way, everyone would have nothing to say, and he would be worthy of everyone.
If his money is gone, he can earn more at worst. Anyway, he is still young and can go to sea...
He just calmly thought, waited, and calculated...
But God seems to love biting sick ducks. The "general" never expected that at such a critical moment, he would once again encounter a betrayal that made matters worse.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was full of expectations, but he never waited for the remittance notice from "Old Fatty", and he couldn't find anyone when he called "Old Fatty".
Now he was panicking, and a shadow could not help but pass through his heart. The only thing he could do was to keep calling.
Finally, just when he was about to hit the road for a trip to Harbin, after perseverance, the call from "Old Fatty" finally got through. But knowing the truth almost made him lose his temper and burst his lungs.
How dare "Old Fatty" show him his trump card directly and actually tell him not to take the sea cucumber money.
He also bluntly said that "General" is too confused. In fact, the reason why Bincheng cannot sell sea cucumbers is because the people who collect sea cucumbers are buyers like himself.
They are all using public funds, and they can’t do anything without cashing it out. If the hole cannot be filled, there is no way to explain it to the government.
"Old Fatty" said that he had lost all his money this time and originally wanted to borrow money from "General", but if he couldn't borrow it, he had no choice but to jump into the sea. But I didn't expect that the "general" would actually come to the door by himself and believe him so easily. Since God gave him the chance to live, how could he miss this opportunity?
Hearing this, the "general" could no longer restrain his rage. Regardless of the attention of the people around the telephone building, he yelled into the phone. "Asshole! I have your IOU, and I'm going to Harbin to find you!"
Unexpectedly, "Old Fatty" didn't care at all, because his real name was "Yu Maocai", but he deliberately wrote "Yu Maocai" on the IOU, and also deliberately wrote the name of "General" as "Jiang Haichao". To put it bluntly, because the "general" failed to observe, this is a piece of waste paper.
What's more, so many sea cucumbers are enough to prove that the "general" is involved in speculation. If this IOU is actually taken out, I am afraid that not only will the money not be returned, but it will also be worse for the "general" himself.
As for the "general" coming to attack, "Old Fatty" is no longer worried. He has moved his family to the forest area. There are many lumberjacks here. If they dare to come, it's not sure who will suffer.
This is not enough, this guy also said that he has already agreed with the leader to change the business trip. I will never show up to Bincheng again in the future. That tone was full of pride, and there was nothing missing.
The "general" held the phone and was trembling with anger. He cursed loudly again.
"You bastard! I saved you in the first place and have treated you as my friend for so many years. You are simply a white-eyed wolf..."
But the "old fat" had his own theory, and he shamelessly taught the "general" another lesson over the phone.
"It's not that I'm not mean, brother, you have indeed been kind to me, but this time it is a matter of life and death. What can I do? Rather than both of us being ruined, it is better for one person to be freed!"
"You are righteous, but you are also foolish. You actually want to pay full compensation to an unimportant person. Since you have the heart to save all sentient beings, shouldn't you rescue me?"
"I'm telling you, I'm actually sad to lie to you. I will never forget how good you were to me. But you also have to know that everyone is a mortal in front of money. Otherwise, when you lose money, you Why don’t those brothers help you carry it?”
"Don't you think about it, who wouldn't be friends together because of sea cucumbers? When a disaster like this is imminent, of course you can only take care of yourself! This is the basis of friendship. If you still don't understand this truth, you I will be more unlucky than anyone else..."
After hanging up the phone, the burly "general" could hardly stand. In the eyes of many people with curiosity and sympathy, he collapsed on the doorstep as soon as he left the long-distance telephone hall.
After returning home, he quietly hid in his room.
He felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't express his grievances, and his mind was completely confused!
For a while I was thinking about how to talk to my brothers, and for a while I wanted to go to the forest area and kill the "old fat man", but what about the debts on my body? He couldn't let Han Ying face all this alone with her children...
Just like that, I sat there blankly until Han Ying came back from get off work.
When Han Ying saw the "general" like this, she knew something serious was going on and immediately fetched water to wipe his face.
But the "general"'s eyes were blank, as if he hadn't seen her, and he was always looking at the roof like a stiff stone sculpture.
Han Ying started to push his face, "Haichao, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, talk quickly!"
The "general" who couldn't think of a reason didn't say anything at this time. He just slapped himself and then started pulling his hair. His eyes were blood red, and they were already bloodshot from the heat.
Han Ying rushed over and grabbed his hand tightly, her feet sprained because of the excessive force. But he still endured the pain and said, "Don't do this, please. No matter what, I'm still here. You still have children, a mother, your sister's family, and so many brothers. I don't believe it's difficult." , we can also go there..."
At this time, the "general" finally revealed the truth to Han Ying, saying in a weak voice, "My sea cucumber business has lost a lot of money, and my brothers have turned against me because of this. I have taken over all the debts and have to bear all the debts. But let me 'Old Fatty' was deceived. Now our family is completely destitute, and what was originally less than 10,000 yuan has become more than 20,000 yuan. 'Old Fatty' also said that I am a fool. I... I am really stupid. ...I'm sorry for my brothers, I'm sorry for my family, I'm sorry for you and your son...I ruined all your good days..."
When the whole process was narrated in detail, the eyes of this man made of iron and steel became wet, and he was so shy that he could no longer speak.
What he didn't expect was that Han Ying showed amazing courage. Although she looked shocked during the whole process, she quickly calmed down.
He actually comforted him and said, "Haichao! You are not stupid, you are kind. That's why I feel relieved when I marry you! This matter cannot be entirely blamed on you, it is not your fault alone! Besides, there is no point in worrying about it now. . It doesn’t matter, we don’t lose our hearts. If we lose money, we will make more money. Yes, 20,000 yuan is a huge sum of money, but then again, we didn’t think we could have so much money. , the worst case scenario is to start all over again, as long as people are good, it is better than anything else, no matter how hard it is, I will be with you..."
This made the "general" feel warm in his heart. He held Han Ying's hand tightly, feeling moved and excited at the same time.
His wife's encouragement and understanding made him feel that his strength had returned. I regained the courage to face all problems!
