Liu Kai frowned quickly and whispered, "Just say I'm not here and don't let her in."
The security guard smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I can't stop them. There are several people on the other side."
Liu Kai frowned and said, "Are you afraid of causing trouble in the factory? Just go to the workshop and call a few people, right?"
The security guard said, "Boss Liu, that's Lao Lan's wife. Many people in our factory were brought up by Lao Lan. How could they stop his wife?"
"Fuck, they're making a scene!" Liu Kai frowned and said, "Let them in. I'll wait for them in the office."
Liu Kai then called Lao Xiao, who was still groggy because he had just gone to bed early this morning. Lao Xiao said, "Lao Liu, what's the matter? Call me now!"
Liu Kai sighed and said, "I've run into some trouble. I want to borrow a few people from you. The appearance fee is negotiable."
Lao Xiao said, "You don't need to pay the appearance fee. We are not close friends. I will help you arrange it later."
Liu Kai smiled faintly and said, "Let them come directly to my factory, the sooner the better!"
After hanging up the phone, the security guard led Zhang Cuihua and others to the general manager's office. Liu Kai quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, please sit down!"
In addition to Zhang Cuihua, there was a man and a woman. The woman looked pretty and dressed simply but seemed very capable. She had fair skin, delicate features, a ponytail, and clear, bright eyes. The man looked less than 30 years old and was dressed neatly and elegantly.
Liu Kai secretly sighed that the other side didn't bring any powerful characters. If he had known, he wouldn't have bothered Lao Xiao. Although Lao Xiao didn't need an appearance fee, he still had to give him some benefits. Generally, one person needs to pay 200 yuan for the appearance fee, and if there are more than a dozen people, it would be 3,000 to 4,000 yuan.
Seeing Liu Kai calling the office to arrange for someone to pour tea, Lou Yao said seriously: "Boss Liu, we won't drink the tea. Today we mainly want to discuss business with you. Once the matter is settled, we will leave."
Liu Kai smiled crookedly and said, "Oh, what's the matter?"
Seeing that Liu Kai pretended to be ignorant, Lou Yao sighed and said, "We came here this time to ask for money on behalf of Sister Zhang. Her husband used to work in your factory, and you wrote him an IOU for 200,000 yuan."
Liu Kai sighed and said, "I don't deny that I took the money from Lao Lan, but at that time I said that the 200,000 yuan was an investment. If the factory performed well, I would give him dividends. But now the factory is not performing well, so there is no talk of dividends. As for the 200,000 yuan, it was the money to buy the machine. It has already been invested and cannot be sold at a discount."
Lou Yao frowned and said, "Boss Liu, do you mean that this money cannot be returned to Sister Zhang?"
Liu Kai spread his hands and smiled bitterly, narrowing his eyes and glancing at Lou Yao with disdain, and said: "When I asked him to take the money, I also explained to him the risks involved. How can an investment guarantee a profit without loss? I can't do anything about it."
These days, debtors are much more powerful than debt collectors!
Chapter 0797: If Softness Doesn’t Work, Use Hardness
Fang Zhicheng took a sip of tea. After he entered the room, he looked around the office. It was about 30 square meters, with a large space and was decorated quite grandly. There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Although they were not works of famous ancient masters, they were works of famous and powerful contemporary calligraphers. Their value could not be seen now, but in a few decades, the value would increase exponentially.
Fang Zhicheng took some time out today to accompany Zhang Cuihua to ask for the money. If they could get it smoothly, there would be no need to go through other channels. However, judging from Liu Kai's reaction, the difficulty is extremely high.
Liu Kai is now stuck on a problem. The money is not borrowed, but invested. If this is the case, Liu Kai can completely refuse to give the money to Zhang Cuihua.
Fang Zhicheng put down his teacup and whispered, "Boss Liu, first of all, Sister Zhang came to you with an IOU, not an investment contract. Secondly, do you have any evidence to prove that the 200,000 yuan debt was in the name of investment? Finally, now that the person is dead, as the boss of a company, shouldn't you be more compassionate and return the money to Sister Zhang? To you, this little money is nothing, but to Sister Zhang's family, it is life-saving money."
Liu Kai frowned and said, "First, this investment was agreed upon privately between Lan Daofeng and me. At that time, Lan Daofeng said, let's just write him an IOU, so I wrote him an IOU and didn't sign any investment contract. Second, I'm an entrepreneur, not a philanthropist. When Lan Daofeng passed away, I arranged for someone to send a wreath and gave a certain amount of pension. I think I've done enough. As for your desire to get back the 200,000, I'm afraid it's not possible! Again, I've invested the money in equipment. Unless the equipment pays off and generates income, I can give her the money in the form of dividends."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Boss Liu, you have lost your grace in this matter. If you think deeply, your behavior is inhumane and unjust. Sister Zhang's husband is an employee of your factory. It is said that he was in charge of technology in the factory and made contributions to the development of the factory. If it were a boss with a conscience, even if the money was once an investment, it would be returned to his family. Sister Zhang is now with her daughter, and her daughter is seriously ill. This money is life-saving money. Moreover, in my opinion, this money is not an investment at all, but a loan. It is only natural to repay debts."
Liu Kai's face turned ugly, and he waved his hand and said, "Young man, be careful with your words. This is Kaiwei Machinery, not a place where you can act wildly. Also, Zhang Cuihua, I will definitely not give you this money, but if the factory is profitable by the end of the year, I will give you some dividends. That's all, no need to say more, you can go, I have a meeting later."
Seeing that Liu Kai had ordered them to leave, Zhang Cuihua knelt down immediately and cried, "Boss Liu, please, you know my family situation. If I hadn't reached a desperate situation, I wouldn't do this. Just give me the money. Xiaoxiao needs treatment."
Liu Kai sighed and said, "I know you have difficulties, but I have difficulties too. The factory is not doing well right now, and the capital turnover is insufficient. I don't have any cash at all. Let's wait for a while, okay?"
Zhang Cuihua wiped away her tears and choked up, "You have already refused many times, I really can't wait..."
Liu Kai frowned. He glanced outside the door and saw a figure moving. He thought to himself that the people Lao Xiao had called had already arrived. Liu Kai said in a deep voice, "Since you don't trust me, there's no need to talk. Are you going to leave? If not, I'll have someone 'invite' you to leave."
The person outside the door had been paying attention to the movement in the office. When he heard Liu Kai yelling, someone came in. It was a buck-toothed man with dyed yellow hair. He said, "Boss Liu, is there anything I can help you with?"
Liu Kai pointed at the three people and said, "Please ask them to leave!"
The yellow-haired buck-toothed man's face darkened and he warned, "Please!"
Seeing that Zhang Cuihua still didn't want to leave, Fang Zhicheng thought that it would be useless to persuade her softly and hard. He sighed, winked at Lou Yao, and said, "Let's leave first."
After the three of them left the office, Liu Kai said in a deep voice to the yellow-haired man with buck teeth, "We have to teach them a lesson, especially that young man, otherwise they won't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is, and will come to bother you again in the future." As he spoke, Liu Kai took out a pack of premium Qiongjin cigarettes and said, "After the matter is done, there will be a generous reward."
The yellow-haired man bared his teeth and smiled, "Boss Liu, we know the routine of this matter. We will go out and kill him later. Let's see if he dares to come again in the future."
Liu Kai nodded and said, "Be careful not to involve me."
The yellow-haired buck-toothed man laughed and said, "Boss Liu, you are too cautious."
Being forced out of Kaiwei Machinery by a dozen people, Zhang Cuihua looked unhappy and whispered, "They won't do anything, will they?"
Lou Yao glanced at Fang Zhicheng and showed concern.
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "Just get in the car later. I'll take care of anything that happens."
As soon as he left the factory, the yellow-haired man with buck teeth quickened his pace and rushed towards Fang Zhicheng. He raised his fist and punched the back of Fang Zhicheng's head. However, the situation suddenly changed. His fist missed and he lost his balance for some reason. He staggered and almost fell.
Fang Zhicheng dodged the punch by turning his back, mainly because of Ning Qiangwei's training and because he had been prepared for it.
Although the yellow-haired bucktoothed man missed and didn't hit him, the danger was not imminent. With Fang Zhicheng's current strength, if there were three or four people, he might be able to deal with them easily, but there were more than a dozen people on the opposite side, and as the saying goes, a random punch can kill a master. Unless there is a master like Guo Jinyuan present, those who know a little kung fu will be directly overwhelmed by the opponent's sea of people. Fang Zhicheng looked very calm, but in fact his palms were sweating.
