Chapter 90

Rising prices and declining real purchasing power can be a good thing in reverse.

Because in addition to assets, Boyue’s accounts also have 5 million yuan in liabilities. The actual purchasing power of this 5 million yuan has now become 500/(1+5%)=476.19.

This number is the actual debt owed by the company to external parties.

Although I feel relieved that I lost 240,000 yuan for no reason, it is still far from the current liabilities ≤ 1 million yuan required by the task.

Song Yue began to work on clearing the company's debts, striving to complete the task as soon as possible, so as to avoid the situation where time was running out and he was worried all the time.

Of the 5 million yuan in debt, apart from the 500,000 yuan that is paid to employees every month and the 500,000 yuan borrowed from the bank for company operations, the remaining 4 million yuan is really a pile of foreign debt.

This was not left by the original owner, but by Ai Tao and Yao Qing.

The two of them went out to eat and drink, and each time they did so under the pretext of maintaining customer relationships, they would take money from the company account without paying a penny themselves.

If Song Yue hadn't asked the financial manager Xiao Peiyan to bring the vouchers and □□ and review them one by one, she would have almost believed Ai Tao's lies.

What maintains customer relationships?

It's obvious that they are using the company's money to support their entire family!

The calculations were jingling, but unfortunately the original owner was blinded by greed and believed everything his uncle said. He was also easily influenced and would change his mind at the slightest hint of advice. He had no stance of his own at all.

Thinking back to the original owner's past, Song Yue shook his head.

Thinking back to the present, Song Yue originally thought that foreign debt was difficult to handle. After all, the concept of current liabilities in accounting also includes many other small categories. In addition to the foreign debt that ordinary people generally understand, it also includes money received in advance from others, taxes payable, dividends to shareholders, etc.

But after a quick look, Song Yue discovered that Boyue had basically no such debts.

Although the original owner was a jerk, he wasn't a legal expert. He paid his taxes on time every year, without any arrears. Boyue wasn't a listed company, so there were no dividends paid to shareholders, so this item was also zero.

In general, although there are liabilities, their nature is relatively simple, and this situation is easier to handle.

Song Yue stared at the 4 million figure for a while, then asked Secretary He to call Ruan Hao from the Legal Department.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Compared with He Jiuyi's relatively lively personality, Ruan Hao is more stable.

This is normal. After all, one has to deal with external affairs and the other has to handle cases internally. It can be regarded as a two-way match between profession and personality.

Song Yue asked him to sit wherever he wanted, and then asked about the task assigned to him a few days ago: "How is the lawsuit against the group of people who were fired from the sales department being prepared?"

Ruan Hao responded fluently, "Mr. Song, I submitted the materials to the court yesterday. They are currently accepting the case. We expect to be notified of the court date tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Song Yue nodded slightly, indicating that she understood, and then continued, "Prepare another case."

Ruan Hao straightened his back slightly when he heard this: "Mr. Song, please go ahead."

All the employees who caused trouble in the sales department are on the prosecution list. There shouldn't be any other cases to deal with, right? He thought to himself.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of him tapped the table lightly with his fingers and calmly uttered two words: "Ai Tao."

Ruan Hao's heart trembled. President Song actually wanted to send his own uncle to court?

He thought this in his heart, but didn't dare show it on his face. As the representative of the company's legal team, maintaining composure was his first professional duty.

In fact, Ruan Hao's reaction did make Song Yue quite satisfied, which showed that she was not wrong about him.

"I previously arranged for him to go through the normal dismissal process because he was no longer suitable for this job in any way. We will compensate him as much as we owe him. But..."

One but made Ruan Hao alert.

Song Yue: "We have to get back the money he owes the company."

She couldn't just let it go as it left the company with a 4 million yuan hole.

Just then, the door suddenly knocked twice.

Ruan Hao was about to speak when he was interrupted by the sound of the door.

Song Yue knew who it was and let him in.

Financial manager Xiao Peiyan pushed the door open and walked in. She first glanced at Song Yue, then at Ruan Hao, and finally walked to Song Yue's desk and placed several vouchers in her hand on Song Yue's desk.

"Mr. Song, these are the receipts and bills you requested earlier. They were all signed by Ai Tao."

Song Yue hummed: "Have you counted how much money there is?"

Xiao Peiyan lowered her voice twice: "No need to count, I remember every penny in my mind, a total of 3.98W."

3.98... million?!

Ruan Hao was really shocked and couldn't help but move his butt on the chair.

I didn't expect Mr. Song's uncle to have used so much of the company's money? This isn't even a job; it's like he's living in an ATM!

Xiao Peiyan sensed Ruan Hao's shock. She sighed softly and continued, "Mr. Song, I failed to oversee these bills. This is a serious mistake on my part. I'm taking the initiative to cancel this year's year-end bonus and salary increase. I just hope you won't fire me."

She considered herself diligent and responsible in her job, but sometimes Ai Tao's pressure and warnings forced her to give in.

She knew that she could not escape Mr. Song's inspection, so she made up her mind and took the initiative to stand up and admit her mistake.

Regardless of whether she could keep the company in the end, at least she finally broke the big stone that had been weighing on her heart for many years with her own hands.

After saying this, Xiao Peiyan felt much more relaxed. She raised her eyes again, hoping that the person in front of her would give her another chance.

Song Yue did not respond immediately, but stared at Xiao Peiyan quietly.

The office fell silent for a moment.

After more than ten seconds, Xiao Peiyan finally heard her speak: "The company will not fire you."

Very good……!

Xiao Peiyan breathed a sigh of relief!

"but."

Then, when she changed the tone, Xiao Peiyan's heart tightened again.

Song Yue: "I reject your proposal to cancel the year-end bonus and raise your salary."

What?

Xiao Peiyan, who thought she was about to hit rock bottom, suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Mr. Song...you..."

Song Yue smiled, easing the atmosphere slightly. "That 4 million yuan in outstanding accounts isn't entirely your fault. No, most of the responsibility lies with Ai Tao. I know how he coerced you privately in order to get you approved. You were forced into it, not voluntarily falsifying the accounts."

This situation can be used as proof of exemption in court, so that Ai Tao will still be the one who bears the final responsibility.

After Song Yue finished speaking, she looked at Ruan Hao deliberately.

As a legal officer, the latter immediately understood what she meant and said hurriedly, "Okay, Mr. Song! I'll prepare a disclaimer for Manager Xiao."

"Yeah." Song Yue nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked Xiao Peiyan, "When Ai Tao threatened you, did you keep any evidence? For example, chat conversations, recordings, etc.?"

It would be better if there is one.

Xiao Peiyan nodded vigorously after hearing this: "Yes, Mr. Song, I have saved them all. If you want them now, I will send them to you."

Song Yue smiled and said, "Don't forget to send it to Xiao Ruan. He will be your lawyer in the future."

Xiao Peiyan has more than ten years of financial experience. In order to maintain financial fairness at work, she has developed a serious habit, which gives people the impression of being cold and unapproachable. When Song Yue reminded her of this, she rarely showed a trace of apology and shame.

"Then Xiao Ruan, I'll leave it to you." She lowered her eyes slightly.

Ruan Hao stood up when he heard it and said, "No, no, this is what I should do."

Everyone can see Manager Xiao's personality and attitude towards work, and they all know clearly that if Ai Tao had not been so autocratic and unpredictable in the company, Manager Xiao would have found another job long ago. Why would he stay here and suffer Ai Tao's anger every day?

Although she didn't know why Manager Xiao hadn't changed jobs, Ruan Hao was determined to sue Ai Tao, the termite, for forcing her to falsify the accounts. She wanted to make him suffer the consequences of the law!

On the seventh day of the instance, prices continued to remain at +5%.

This day was a rest day for the company, but Song Yue did not rest and still came to the office on time.

However, she didn't expect that Secretary He and He Jiuyi were also in the company and arrived earlier than her.

On this day, Song Yue received an email from Secretary He, saying that most of the massage chairs and treadmills had been processed, with a total revenue of 400,000 yuan. A small number were still on the second-hand market, and it was expected that all of them would be sold within a week.

At the same time, good news came from He Jiuyi in the sales department. He had negotiated an order with a customer for a total of 150,000 yuan. The customer paid a deposit of 100,000 yuan directly, and the remaining 50,000 yuan would be paid off before the end of this month.

Compared with Ai Tao's previous behavior of only signing the bill but not collecting the payment, He Jiuyi paid close attention to the collection of money and was determined not to accept a blank check.

On the eighth day of the copy, the mayor announced that prices would continue to rise by 5%, and the actual purchasing power of currency would decline again.

The original 1.2 million in the account continued to depreciate to 1.2 million/(1+5%+5%)=1.09 million.

Getting further and further away from the target of 300W.

The citizens of City M also realized that the money they held had depreciated, and they lamented their pain online.

It’s so hard. My monthly salary is only 3k to begin with, and it keeps getting cut. How am I going to make ends meet?

I was too happy too soon, thinking that selling my stocks and bonds would bring me good luck. But the result! Wow, w ...

Everyone, be content... Have you forgotten about the investor who jumped off a building a few days ago? His 10 million investment was all gone. At least everyone has some money left now, so they can still afford to eat, right?

When someone is sad, there will naturally be someone to comfort them.

But there are always people who don't appreciate it.

[It's not your turn, so of course you can talk without any worries.]

[The person who said that, are you crazy? How do you know I'm not a victim of this financial crisis? I just didn't say it! Do you think everyone is like you, spreading negativity and badmouthing people all the time? I've seen your ID several times!]

[What I say is none of your business! You Pacific police, why are you meddling in so many matters?]

The worse the economic situation is, the more intensified the underlying contradictions will be. Even an insignificant little thing can be quickly amplified by the Internet and spread to everyone's heart.

Once or twice is no big deal, but when it happens seven or eight times, or even every day, and there are no more peaceful discussions on the Internet about the issues at hand, and instead it is filled with ginseng roosters, gender confrontation, and fan circle quarrels, even the best mood will be taken away by the environment.

The current M city is following this path.

Song Yue didn't want to read these messy remarks anymore and left the comment section.

Not long after, she received good news from Ruan Hao from the Legal Department: "Mr. Song, the court has set a hearing date for the case against Shang Qingkuan and his men today! Here's the subpoena, please review it. Also, the materials for the lawsuit against Ai Tao have been collected and will be submitted to the court in the next two days."

Song Yue: [Okay, thank you for your hard work.]

She found that the litigation process in City M was very fast. From submitting materials to acceptance to the opening of the court session, the entire process took only one week, which was surprisingly efficient.

Hearing her thoughts, 099 stepped forward to explain: [This instance only has three months to complete. To ensure a complete cycle, some processes have been timed.]

"You've also adjusted the speed of time for the products piled up in the warehouse, right?"

Otherwise, how could the value of office equipment be depreciated to 0 within 3 months?

099 hummed twice: [Yes, this one has been adjusted too].

On the ninth day of the dungeon, the economic situation in City M deteriorated further.

The number of bankrupt companies is still on the rise, and life is becoming increasingly difficult for both business owners and employees.

However, this situation did not happen in Song Yue's company.

Not only that, it is actually "incompatible" with the outside world.

The sales staff diligently make sales calls every day, and occasionally close a deal. Even if the deal isn't worth much, every little bit counts, and as long as they can sell the product, it's all good.

He Jiuyi has been running around to expand his customer base.

The item Song Yue placed on him has a 7-day freeze period. After the last use, it will not take effect until the fourteenth day of the copy.

She hadn't expected him to sign a big order like last time, but only hoped for a small one. After all, the current economic situation was bad, and all bosses were tightening their belts, and they would not make any extra purchases if they could save money.

Unexpectedly, before leaving get off work that day, Song Yue unexpectedly received He Jiuyi's second transaction order - a total of 300,000!

It’s twice as high as last time!

For a moment, Song Yue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that the prop [Gold Medal Sales] should not be used on him. Even without that little bonus, this kid could still make a name for himself.
