Chapter 303: Debt Collection

"Madam, tomorrow is the deadline. If we fail to deliver the goods on time, the He family will have to compensate us with fifty thousand taels!" Wen Baolu looked excited and could hardly hide his happiness.

Zhu Mingqing: "I'll leave this matter to you. The He family will definitely default on their debt, but their sugar factory is quite successful and can be used to offset part of the debt!"

The He family sugar factory covers an area of ​​300 acres. It cost a lot to acquire this land. In addition to manpower and material resources, a total of 30,000 taels of silver was invested!

When Zhu Mingqing signed the contract with Wen Baolu, he never used the names of the Ming and Luo families. The He family only thought that the other party was a merchant from outside the province.

They didn't want to sign a tenfold compensation agreement, but the other party's order was too large, fifty thousand taels.

It's really tempting.

If it succeeds, the He family won’t have to worry about their business for the next three years.

So the He family's father and sons discussed it together, and with the instigation of some people and the compliments from those around them, their hearts swelled!

So I decided—

Bet on it!

But unexpectedly, the He family might be defeated in just a few days!

"Brother, we can't just sit there and wait for death!" He Lao Er's face darkened. "It must be the Ming family who has tricked us. The only solution now is to refuse to admit it!"

Boss He was worried: "But what if they report this to the authorities?"

All deeds and contracts are stamped by the government.

He Lao Er: "Why are you still managing the government? If the He family is gone, our whole family will be left with nothing!"

Boss He was so frightened that he shuddered: "No, second brother, do you have any ideas?"

He Laoer said hurriedly: "Prepare for both situations! I will deal with those merchants at the sugar factory. Big brother, you should go home as soon as possible to deal with the family property. If something goes wrong..."

"We must leave the city immediately!"

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!

Boss He nodded immediately: "I'll go right away!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them stood up and prepared to do their own things when the manager came running over in a hurry.

"Master, Second Master, it's bad! The sugar factory is surrounded!"

Wen Baolu sat in the first seat with an unbridled look, with a dozen of his men standing beside him. They were chubby and had ferocious faces, and it was obvious that they were not easy to mess with.

He Laoer also brought a lot of people with him and wanted to use his power to overwhelm others, but he knew it wouldn't work as soon as they met.

He comes with bad intentions!

"Master Wen," He Lao Er complimented with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have become even more handsome."

Wen Baolu smiled and took out a piece of paper: "Speaking frankly is not allowed. Mr. He, it's time to fulfill the contract!"

He Laoer's smile gradually disappeared, and his eyes fell on the other person's face. His expression was serious, not like a joke.

"Master Wen, you should be aware of the He family's current situation. Do you really want to force us to sell our property?"

Wen Baolu was not angry at all: "Since Mr. He signed the contract, he should have expected this day to come. Could it be that the He family intends to break the contract?!"

He Lao Er pursed his lips, his expression revealing a hint of oppression: "Is there really no room for negotiation?"

Wen Baolu smiled but said nothing.

When they attacked the Ming family before, the He family did not show any hesitation.

Now we are just giving him a taste of his own medicine!

He Laoer threatened: "Ten times the compensation, Master Wen, aren't you afraid that eating too much will cost you your life?!"

Wen Baolu said mockingly, "Don't worry about that, Master He. I hope you can prepare the money tomorrow. Otherwise, we'll have to meet at the government office!"

After saying this, he stood up and was about to leave.

He Lao Er: "Wait!"

Wen Baolu turned around and asked: "Could it be that Mr. He is going to pay back the money now?"

The other party's gentle smile made He Lao Er want to punch him. He clenched his fists under his sleeves, and his expression was restrained: "However much money the Ming family gave you, my He family will give you double! Name the number!"

"One hundred thousand taels, not a penny less!"

"You!" He Lao Er's face was very ugly: "Master Wen, you should always leave room for maneuver. There will inevitably be times when you need help from others!"

Wen Baolu raised his lips slightly and said, "Mr. He, instead of worrying about my future, you should think about how to collect 100,000 taels in three days and give an explanation to those merchants outside."

Others did not think like them and signed a tenfold breach of contract agreement.

The deposits of those people should have been used by the He family to purchase sugarcane. Now they have owed a lot of foreign debts, and it is estimated that they cannot repay them even if they want to.

"If the He family wants to sell their property, I can offer a reasonable price so that they won't be undercut by others. We'll see you in three days. I hope the He family won't let me down!"

Wen Baolu put his hands behind his back and walked out refreshed.

When the merchants saw him come out, they immediately surrounded him to ask about the results.

"Stop, don't worry!" Wen Baolu stood on a rock. "I've invested more money than you have. I heard the He family is planning to sell their property. I believe it won't be long before everyone's money is fully repaid!"

He caught a glimpse of Mr. He in the courtyard behind him. He smiled and pointed over, "Look, Mr. He is out. Everyone can go and ask him any questions. I believe that as long as we guard the sugar factory well, Mr. He will not run away!"

Everyone turned around and saw He Laoer who was about to hide, and immediately rushed over and almost stripped him naked!

He Laoer had a lot of his hair pulled out, and he watched Master Wen leave. He was so angry that he hurriedly explained to these merchants that he would never default on his debts!

"Humph! The He family doesn't even have enough money to compensate Master Wen, and they still want to deceive us!"

"Yes, we heard it, one hundred thousand taels!"

"I'm staying at the sugar factory. I won't leave until our money is returned to us!"

"I'm not leaving!"

Everyone immediately thought of this brilliant idea. Someone closed the door and surrounded He Laoer as they walked towards the room.

One room was not enough, so someone lived next door, fearing that He Laoer would run away.

After discovering that Mr. He was also here, they assigned two more people to guard next door to him.

In short, eliminate any possibility of the He family escaping!

As for Boss He who is outside, we must give the He family a chance to raise money, and with Master Wen here, the other party will probably not be able to escape!

late at night.

Boss He came to the sugar factory with a rustling sound. Although he had heard about the situation there a long time ago, he found that there was no chance for him to meet his second brother at all. He was very worried!

The clan members were also holding him accountable and wanted to take away the family property while his father was sick. Fortunately, his second brother reminded him and he hid all the deeds to the properties and shops.

Boss He frowned, thought about it and decided to go home.

It was already late at night. Boss He was sitting in a carriage thinking about how to quickly dispose of his property when the carriage suddenly stopped!

Boss He was already in a bad mood, and he immediately scolded, "Hurry up and get going!"

"Young Master...someone is blocking the road!" The servant's voice trembled as he looked at the crowd coming towards him aggressively!

Boss He lifted the curtain and his body instantly softened.
