Xu Tingsheng returned home after withdrawing the money, did not stay long, turned around and went back to the county town, and went to Huangou Shopping Mall to have a look. No matter how precarious the Xu family's current situation is, the shopping mall is still the same, and it is even more lively because of the approach of the Spring Festival.
For this stability, the person the Xu family should be most grateful for is Li Xiu. The female manager Xu's father dug back from West Lake City is a living strong woman, a workaholic, and her work ability and dedication are amazing.
Today's Li Xiu, in fact, can no longer be regarded as the manager of Libei Huangou. To a certain extent, besides Xu's father, Li Xiu is the actual controller of a total of six large supermarkets in Xu's family.
Libei Huangou added two assistant managers to help Li Xiu share the work more than a month ago, and she herself spends most of her time traveling between six stores in five counties in Jiannan.
When Xu Tingsheng walked into Li Xiu's office, Li Xiu was busy working. The Xu family's ship was in a precarious state, but as a person on board, Li Xiu seemed to be the most stable old sailor, still meticulously doing what she was supposed to do.
"Sister Xiu." Xu Tingsheng called out.
"Hey, Tingsheng... why are you here?" Li Xiu stood up and said, "It's fine if you're here, my sister is going to look for you."
Hearing that Li Xiu said that she had something to ask him, Xu Tingsheng simply sat down and took a disposable cup to make tea. On the one hand, he was going to listen to what she had to say, and on the other hand, he also took the opportunity to soothe his nerves that had been tense all day.
Li Xiu walked up to Xu Tingsheng with an account book, leaned over and said, "I know you need money now, I just settled the accounts of each branch for this month in advance, and I plan to collect them for your emergency first."
Xu Tingsheng glanced at the account book, the numbers were pretty good.
"Thank you, Miss Xiu." Xu Tingsheng smiled, pushed the account book away, and said softly, "There is no rush for the money, how is the replenishment going?"
Li Xiu replied with some embarrassment: "I, I decided to suspend the replenishment on my own."
Xu Tingsheng knew that Li Xiu was doing this for the sake of the Xu family, so he didn't mean to criticize him at all, and said with a smile, "Replenish the goods. It's a good opportunity to make money during the Chinese New Year. In addition, sister Xiu, I'd like to ask all the stores to get rid of the employees. Calculate the year-end bonus to the management, no matter what, the bonus must be distributed before the new year.”
"This, I just discussed it with several store managers before lunch, and everyone thinks that this can actually be delayed." Li Xiu suggested.
"There is no need to slow down, and you can't slow down. In the current situation, it is very important to calm people down."
Xu Tingsheng paused, and after seeing Li Xiu nodded, he continued, "So, not only will the year-end bonus be distributed, but I will also ask sister Xiu to announce a welfare policy on my behalf. From next May, Huanbu will be divided into three batches. Arrange all the staff to go on holiday in Hainan, and all expenses will be borne by Huangou.”
During this period in 2003, except for some large modern enterprises, employee welfare was still a relatively weak link. Employees themselves have relatively weak ideas about this. In most people's opinion, if they go to work and get their wages on time and in full, they should study in the company.
Xu Tingsheng suddenly proposed such a big benefit as "Hainan tour for all employees" when the Xu family was in such a difficult situation, even Li Xiu was a little surprised.
"Sister Xiu, don't worry, the Xu family's foundation is not that weak. Even if all the funds raised need to be repaid in one go, I can still get the money the family needs right now. I don't need to use the working capital in the store."
After Xu Tingsheng finished speaking, he walked out, walked to the door, turned to Li Xiu and said, "Sister Xiu, don't worry... the boat of the Xu family will not sink. It has been a hard time for Sister Xiu, and when my dad comes back during the Chinese New Year, remember Bring the kids to the house for New Year's Eve dinner."
Xu Tingsheng left, but Li Xiu was still digesting what he just said.
Xu Tingsheng's words were either true or false, some were truthful and some were big talk. For example, he said that the Xu family did not need to use the working capital in the store, and he did not use it, but he said that with the foundation of the Xu family, he could repay all the raised funds in one go...
Xu Tingsheng said this and did this because he needed Li Xiu's help to stabilize the others, and at the same time, he was also trying to stabilize Li Xiu.
Li Xiu had always thought that she knew enough about the Xu family, including the background of the Xu family, the temperament and character of Xu's father and Xu's mother, and so on. But now, she suddenly had a feeling that she actually couldn't figure out the background of the Xu family at all, let alone the son of the Xu family, Xu Tingsheng, who was nineteen years old.
She began to believe what Xu Tingsheng said, that the Xu family's ship would not sink.
What really impacted Li Xiu the most was Xu Tingsheng's last sentence: When my dad comes back during the Chinese New Year, remember to bring the children to the house for the New Year's Eve dinner.
This sentence has two meanings. First, the Xu family is confident that Dad Xu will definitely come back before the Chinese New Year; second, you, Li Xiu, are my family members who can have a reunion dinner together.
With these words, Li Xiu decided not to think too much about anything. She sat down, put the account book into a drawer, called the accountant, and ordered to start calculating the year-end bonus. Then, he called home again and said:
"Mom, I'll leave the child to you these days. I'll be busy. I'll take care of Huangou's five counties and six stores for the boss. I may not have time to go home...
Yes, mom, you are right, the Xu family treats us well, I know, I know...
Now that the Xu family is in trouble... I mean the same thing as you, and I will repay the kindness of knowing you. "
Xu Tingsheng came out of Huanbu, found a noodle restaurant to have dinner, then sat at the flood control dam of Jiangbin Road and lit a cigarette. He was waiting for the time.
The Huang family showed their "knives", and the Xu family also threw their "trump cards". Xu Tingsheng felt that it was time for him to meet the local snake in Libei - "Huang Jialiangzhu".
…
When Xu Tingsheng was thinking of going to the Huang family to say hello, the Huang family had already been waiting for the Xu family to come. It's just that, at first, they felt that what they had to wait for might be Xu's mother, or some relative or friend entrusted by Xu's family to help in charge.
Then, wait to be begged, and then, get what you want.
They were already used to this method. One of the "Liang Zhu of the Huang family" was behind the scenes and the other was in front of the stage.
In Libei, there are very few people who can make the Huang family kick the iron plate.
Anyway, they felt that they were cautious enough, and their investigations were careful enough. The Xu family that popped up suddenly was definitely not an iron plate, not even an adobe wall.
Huang Tianzhu was the specific executor. Early in the morning, he heard a call from the person he had placed, and knew that the current head of Xu's family was actually a 19-year-old child. Huang Tianzhu almost burst out laughing.
The foundation of the Xu family seemed to be weaker than he had imagined, and they couldn't even push out a decent principal at the critical moment.
Mud legs are indeed mud legs. Without any foundation, if you really want to get up, it will take at least several generations of hard work...
Now? It's early.
Among the nearly one hundred debtors who surrounded the Xu family, more than one person was planted by Huang Tianzhu, so when Xu Tingsheng threw the huge money bag in the lobby, Huang Tianzhu received the news immediately.
"Brother Zhu, the Xu family kid probably brought back more than 2 million yuan."
"More than 2 million?... And then? Is this not enough money?"
"I don't know. Anyway, it seems that the boy is quite stable. He is cooking now."
"Is he still in the mood to cook at this time? Is this kid insane?" The message from the people below made Huang Tianzhu speechless for a while.
He had been expecting those people who went to the Huang's house to ask for money to start a fight. As long as they couldn't ask for money, they should start a fight. After the fight was over at the Xu's house, they would go to the Xu's shopping mall, and then to the street...
It is best to go to the county government in the end.
In this way, it will be more convenient for the Huang family to be charged with the crime of illegal fund-raising for Xu's father, Xu Jianliang, and even more ruthlessly, so that he can commit a large-scale fraud and charge him with causing social unrest.
After waiting for a while, there was no new news from the people below. Huang Tianzhu became a little impatient and sent a message to ask.
"What's the situation now? Are there any troubles?" Huang Tianzhu asked.
"No, they are eating." The person below replied.
"Eat? They eat... and no one makes a fuss? So many people just watch?"
"Well, let's watch. Some people went back to eat first. Brother Zhu, can we also go back to eat first? I'm a little hungry."
"Eat you X. Give me fire, pick people up, and make sure to make trouble."
"..."
This kind of information exchange has never stopped, and the people placed by Huang Tianzhu have also made a lot of efforts, and they are responsible for inciting and fighting several times.
However, the situation did not completely break out as Huang Tianzhu expected.
Through the exchange of information, Huang Tianzhu knew Uncle Rong and his hatchet, and also knew the three sentences Xu Tingsheng said.
He said, my dad will definitely go home for the New Year;
He said, the Xu family still has money;
He said that the Xu family remembers love as well as grudges.
In view of what he said before, that the Xu family would not be able to survive this year, the whole city knew it. Huang Tianzhu now felt that this brat from the Xu family simply didn't know how to live or die. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was simply yelling at the Huang family and blatantly slapping the Huang family in the face.
"You said your dad can go back as long as he can go back to celebrate the New Year? You said that it is possible to remember the hatred of my Huang family? ... This is Libei, Libei of the Huang family."
…
In the afternoon, when Xu Tingsheng threw the second bag of cash in the lobby, Huang Tianzhu received the message.
"Another big bag of money, tens of millions. There must be no trouble here. People have almost left, and many people didn't take the money. Brother Zhu, can we leave? I'm so hungry."
At this time, Huang Tianzhu finally began to feel that things might not be that simple anymore. At the same time, he had another feeling that maybe that brat from the Xu family might not be that simple.
However, he doesn't panic, he never needs to panic, because behind him there is a "big Buddha", Huang's Dinghaishenzhen, Libei's earth emperor, Huang Tianliang.
