"IOU?" Du Lin reached out and took the IOU from these people and took a look at it. It was indeed no different from an ordinary IOU. It listed some rigid legal binding clauses. In the end, they borrowed it from Du Lin. The amount of money taken and the interest that needs to be paid when repaying the debt are higher than the interest rate of the bank.
These are all very qualified IOUs, with no flaws at all. Even the dates are not from these days, and there are their signatures and the signatures of the relevant lawyers on them. In short, these people worked very hard to repay Du Lin's money. They not only came up with a very suitable reason, but also produced relevant materials.
Du Lin threw the IOU back on the table. He licked his lips and smiled, "There is something wrong with these IOUs."
has a problem? !
The four of them looked at each other. This was a way one of them came up with to return the money to Du Lin in the name of repayment. In this way, the money they defrauded from Du Lin returned to Du Lin's pocket with interest, which was a kind of compensation for their previous unpleasant transaction. Secondly, they also took care of their own face. If they really just returned the money they defrauded Du Lin from, it would have confirmed their irregularities in business and integrity issues.
In this society that pays attention to the spirit of contract, you can do many bad things, whether it is exploiting workers or not repaying loans from banks, but one thing you cannot do is to violate the spirit of the contract between businessmen and businessmen and use contract fraud. Any contract fraud will be regarded as an extremely serious breach of trust, which is more serious than any punishment for businessmen, because when others cooperate with you in the future, they will consider whether this transaction is also a scam.
The fate of those dishonest businessmen may not be so miserable, but they may not be able to move up to a higher level, so they found an excuse to patch up their behavior and take care of the face of both parties. Dulin should Will happily let them go. You must know that Du Lin has not been defrauded since they did this. Being defrauded is actually a sign of incompetence. This method almost perfectly solved the problems between both parties, but why is Du Lin still not satisfied
The other three mine owners who had learned from the "repayment" method looked at their bald friend and seemed to be asking him to negotiate with Du Lin. His scalp was a little numb, and he could only muster up the courage to ask softly: "Mr. Dulin, do you think there is something wrong? We can still modify it now." This was a bit of a compromise. He used " "Modify", not "discuss" or "negotiate", which is still a bit of a position, he has already given up.
Du Lin pointed to the IOUs and said, "The money is wrong!"
"Money... isn't it?" Baldhead was stunned for a moment, and then quickly explained, "This is the total of the money we borrowed from you and the interest accrued on these debts these days... "
Du Lin leaned back on the sofa. He took a puff of cigarette and exhaled slowly, "I'm not talking about the interest, I'm talking about the principal." He pointed at the four people sitting opposite him with the fingers holding the cigarette. "The four of you took 6 million from me, which should be 7.2 million with interest. I'm in a good mood today. I don't want any fraction of the 200,000. It's a total of 7 million for the four of you. Let's discuss it. How do you pay me?" He stood up and said, "I'm going out to exercise. I hope you will have reached a conclusion by the time I come back." He put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. So, see you later!”
Looking at Du Lin's back as he put on his sneakers and ran out, the four guys' backs were covered with sweat.
They received a total of less than 3.6 million yuan from Du Lin, but Du Lin said that they received 6 million yuan, including principal and interest, which is 7.2 million yuan. This means that if they want to fill in the In this trap, not only did he have to spit out all the money he had defrauded Du Lin, but he also had to make up for another amount. Such a punishment was too heavy. They all had serious faces, and seemed to have forgotten how bright the smiles were on their faces when they took the cashier's check from Du Lin.
Life is very long, but also very short. There are countless forks in the journey of life. How to choose and which path to take are all your own choices. There is no turning back on the road of life. No matter whether there are violent storms or landslides on the road ahead, it is your choice. Even if you grit your teeth, you have to go on.
"What should we do now?" A well-dressed man in his forties had a look of resentment on his face. He defrauded Du Lin of 750,000 yuan. According to the current ratio, he would have to pay at least 1.5 million yuan in compensation. When he sold the waste mine to Du Lin, he purely had the idea of getting more, and this time he had to pay a total of 850,000 yuan in principal and interest on the IOU, which was an extra 100,000 yuan in interest. He felt that this was enough to show his sincerity, but he didn't expect that Du Lin's heart was darker and his appetite was bigger, which made him a little bit overwhelmed.
It's not that he can't come up with another 750,000, he can, but he's not willing to do so. You can't punish him in this way just because he made a small mistake. It's not fair!
The bald man smiled bitterly and took his IOU on the coffee table in his hand. His money was the second largest, a full million. If he wanted to satisfy Du Lin, he would have to come up with another million. He wouldn't He would really take Du Lin's words of two hundred thousand dollars and take them as the truth. If you do something wrong, you will definitely have to pay a price, although the price is extremely heavy.
He took a deep breath, immediately took out his pen and added an item under the IOU, stating that two million with principal and interest would be paid to Du Lin within the specified time.
The other three people looked at his actions and thought he was crazy. This was a million yuan of wealth, and it would take almost two years to earn it back at the speed at which they made money - the real big mine owners such as Hendry had already gone to see him God, the rest are just those of them who follow Hendry and take advantage. More or less, he wanted to subsidize his losses or make a little more money by taking money from Dulin's pocket.
The bald man looked at his IOU and his face began to turn pale. His net worth was an astronomical figure that could not be sorted out in the eyes of ordinary people, but in this situation, his net worth did not necessarily have a strong foundation. After paying Dulin's debt, his liquidity has almost completely dried up. Even the cash in the bank may not be able to pay, and he can only use real estate or jewelry to offset the price. Is he doing this because he is a qualified businessman
No, obviously not. The real reason that prompted him to do this was that he was afraid of death.
He is really afraid of death!
Hendry is a well-known figure in the Western Mining Association. He owns four mining areas and earns more than one million every year, but so what? Didn't you just die? If Hendry was dragged back from heaven and asked if he was willing to pay one million to Dulin in exchange for his own survival, he believed that Hendry would be willing to pay not to mention one million, but three million.
You only live once, don't joke with your own life, this is the lesson his father told him.
The bald man lowered his head and rubbed his face, looking bankrupt, which made the other three speechless. Some had already made their choice, while others were still waiting to see.
About half an hour later, Dulin came back from outside. He ran outside for a while. He had been lying on the hospital bed recently and felt that his body was a little rusty. It was time to exercise. He asked the four mine owners to wait for a moment with a very polite smile, then turned and went up to the second floor to take a shower and change his clothes before sitting on the other side of the coffee table again.
"Gentlemen, have you thought clearly?" He seemed to be in good spirits.
The bald guy nodded and gave his IOU to Du Lin, "Mr. Du Lin, you are right. I remembered it. I did borrow 1.8 million from you, including the principal and interest." One million, this is an IOU." He paused for a while. After Dulin picked up the IOU and read it for a while, he continued, "You are also aware of some situations in the West. Many things are being sold. If I don’t go out, I mean I may not have enough cash. Can I use something else to offset the price?”
Dulin had no reason to refuse, "That's absolutely fine. If we get along for a long time, you will find that I am a very easy-to-talk person. What do you want to trade in? Mining rights? Ore? Metal ingots? Or real estate? "
"Can metal ingots be used too?" A relieved smile suddenly appeared on the bald man's face, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "If it is possible, I have aluminum and copper ingots worth about half a million yuan."
"No problem, you can just pay me in cash in addition. If there are minerals being mined that can be used to offset the price, I don't mind what form or content these things are, as long as they are worth the price." Du Lin finished reading. To the other three people, "What about you, have you remembered?"
The three of them fell into silence, but soon a guy suddenly picked up his IOU, added a clause on it like a bald man, then raised his head and looked at Du Lin, and asked: "Mr. Du Lin, what did you just say?" You said that a fraction of 200,000 out of 7.2 million was wiped out, right?"
Du Lin was also stunned for a moment, "Yes, I will not deny what I said, I said so."
The guy suddenly smiled and said, "Look, I lent you 1.6 million. According to our agreement, I need to pay you back 1.6 million, but you wiped out a fraction of 200,000. I just need I’ll just give you 1.4 million, right?”
This is definitely a profiteer. His cleverness is that he discovered that the bald guy did not clear a quarter of the two hundred thousand that Dulin wiped out from his own accounts. The other two guys obviously have not made the final decision yet. In such a gap, he found a way to save a little for himself. This only required him to pay half a million more than he had planned. Although it hurt, it didn't make him unable to do it.
"In addition, I also have some ores and metal ingots, which cost about 800,000 yuan... In this case, I will pay you 600,000 yuan in cash, and all the money I owe you will be paid back to you!" He looked at Dulin expectantly. , Dulin nodded after thinking about it.
