Chapter 1480 Are they all stupid?

"Minister Yang, why aren't the contractors coming on site? Don't you really know the reason? We haven't paid them the entry fee as per the contract!"

"Why didn't I pay according to the contract? Does the contract clearly stipulate when to pay? Did you say before entering the site?

"Please stop making trouble, Team Leader. They haven't brought in a single car yet. These days, there aren't many other things but a lot of scammers. Li Ye is not here now, and if he doesn't sign, the Zhongxin Company won't agree. We have to use the funds for their intended purpose and we can't bend the law for personal gain."

[Who the hell are you saying is abusing power for personal gain and bending the law? ]

Although the finance manager Lao Yang was half a level lower than Cong Jinhong and was also a "leader" in terms of position, Cong Jinhong was unable to lose her temper in front of Lao Yang after being scolded by him. She could only curse in her heart and swallow her resentment.

Because if he dared to spit at Lao Yang, Lao Yang would have ten thousand ways to disgust her to death.

Therefore, Jin Hong can only seek help from others to get back at his wit's end.

The only people in the entire group who are qualified to deal with Lao Yang are Ma Zhaoxian and Shang Bin.

Cong Jinhong found Shang Bin and complained to Lao Yang: "Secretary Shang, that Lao Yang is too unreasonable. You just made it clear at the meeting that the entire group must support the office building project, but he is secretly disobeying it.

The day before yesterday, I paid Mr. Wang the site entry fee, and he arbitrarily gave me a discount. Yesterday, I went to ask for payment for the steel and cement purchase, but he refused to pay a cent. I told him that this was a project personally led by Secretary Shang, but he still turned a deaf ear to it.

Shang Bin narrowed his eyes and looked at Cong Jinhong.

Cong Jinhong is Shang Bin's direct subordinate, so after the contract was signed, Shang Bin held a meeting and told the heads of major departments that they must support Cong Jinhong's work. But now Cong Jinhong is facing difficulties. Will Shang Bin be furious?

When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. If Shangbin is really angry, Ma Zhaoxian will have to retreat.

But today, Shang Bin stared at Cong Jinhong for a long time before he spoke: "Sister Cong, you have been involved in this office building project from the beginning to the end, so you should know the inside story.

We made a mistake when we bought the land. Later, when Wang Bingxian wanted to undertake our project, he also agreed to provide both labor and materials.

Because I think we can't always make things convenient for others, we also need to make things convenient for ourselves, so I went to great lengths to get the material procurement from Wang Bingxian.

Now that your relative has taken over the material supply, why doesn't he even want to pay a dime for the advance payment? "

“.”

Cong Jinhong was stunned.

This is different from what she expected!

According to Shangbin, not only does he have to advance the money for purchasing steel bars and cement himself, he even has to give a portion to Shangbin!

Didn't you hear Shang Bin say that he had to work so hard to get this big piece of fat meat for you from Jinhong? Did he get it for you in vain?

Jin Hong felt a wave of disgust in her heart. She had known the principle of "not eating alone" before, but now it seemed that the big head was not hers.

And what Shangbin said next made Cong Jinhong even more angry.

"Also, you should pay more attention to the entrance fee. We've signed the contract, but Wang Bingxian hasn't received the money he's supposed to. I can't guarantee it for you and then end up being the bad guy, can I?"

What do you mean? Not only do you want me to advance the money, but you also want a bigger share? And you're putting the entrance fee on me? If I could get the money, would I still come to you?

But Jin Hong didn't even dare to offend Lao Yang, let alone argue with Shang Bin. She could only follow the convention of "actively developing subjective initiative" and find a way to solve the problem herself.

She called her younger brother from Jinqi over and asked him to try to find a material supplier who could buy on credit, even if the price was a little higher!

But Cong Jinqi complained: "Big sister, you don't know, the people in Beijing are really too picky. We are unfamiliar with the place and they won't give us credit. Even if I bring up the Jingnan Group, it won't work. They don't recognize official seals, they only recognize cash.

Moreover, they gave the locals one price and us another, and the difference was more than 10%. If such unscrupulous merchants were in the southwest, I would have dealt with them long ago."

Cong Jinhong sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, you know this is the capital, you can't act recklessly under the emperor's feet. After all, you are the boss now, why are you still so impulsive?

Calculate how much money we have in our account and buy some materials first. I'll go settle the bill with Mr. Yang. Once the materials are in, let's see what he has to say."

Although Jin Hong hated Lao Yang immensely, she had to admit that he kept his word. Yesterday, Lao Yang said that he would pay the money immediately after the materials were inspected and accepted. So, she could advance the money herself! At most, she could raise the invoice price by a few percentage points.

But after Cong Jinhong finished speaking, Cong Jinqi said with a bitter face: "Sister, how can we have any money in our account? In the past two years, there have been more wolves than meat at Southwest Heavy Duty Truck. We haven't eaten much meat to begin with. During the New Year and other festivals, we have to pay tribute to each temple."

Cong Jinhong was immediately furious. Although the market had been bad in recent years, it wasn't like she hadn't made a dime, was it? Her brother's appetite was growing.

But so what?

If you want to get something done, you first need someone to use. My husband is a cowardly loser. Among the short guys, only my younger brother is brave and daring. Who else can I use if not him?

Using outsiders? Aren't you afraid they'll abscond with the money?

At this time, Cong Jinqi suddenly whispered, "Sister, we are not without solutions. I heard that Lao Ou from your company has been lending money out recently, but the interest rate is a bit high."

Cong Jinqi was immediately surprised and asked, "Old Ou put money out? How come I didn't know?"

Lao Ou is a financial staff member of Southwest Heavy Duty Truck. Lending money is actually "loaning", and the interest rate is a bit high. This is private usury!

From Jin Hong's perspective, she had only heard that some lenders from government-owned banks were lending money privately these days, but she had never heard that the finance department in her own unit was so bold.

Cong Jinqi explained in a low voice, "He lends money differently than a bank. He only lends money to your company's normal projects. I heard that before the New Year, the Fifth Factory was repairing equipment, and they allocated a sum of money from him, but in fact, the equipment at the Fifth Factory was not broken at all."

Cong Jinhong immediately understood that this was not lending money, but purely extortion.

You make up a pretext to apply for a formal project, and I will approve the funds for you. I don't care how you spend the money in the end, I just want my share.

This is what we live in in the new society. If it were in the old society, this would be called betrayal and it would not be unfair to just dig a hole and bury them.

Seeing that Cong Jinhong was still hesitant, Cong Jinqi said again: "Sister, we have taken on the task of purchasing materials, but we are being watched by a group of people! If we don't do our job well..."

Cong Jinhong closed her eyes and thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll call Lao Ou later."

"How could you call him? You're the group leader. If you call him directly, he'll think the group is going to punish him because his secret has been exposed!

Let me talk to him first and tell him that the group headquarters is purchasing steel bars from the southwest and asks them to advance the funds first. Once Lao Yang pays, I will pay him back immediately."

“.”

Cong Jinhong stared at her brother coldly for a long time before saying, "Xiao Qi, you're not in cahoots with Lao Ou, are you?"

Cong Jinqi immediately pointed to the sky and cried out: "Sister, I swear to God, I am your brother. If I have hidden something from you, I will be struck by lightning!"

"Alright, alright, you've been doing this to me since we were little, and I haven't seen any thunder from the sky. Please contact Lao Ou as soon as possible. We can turn around in half a month at most."

Cong Jinhong impatiently stopped her brother from swearing and then made a decision.

Shang Bin and her brother both reminded her that material procurement was a big piece of fat meat, and many people were eyeing it! Even if you couldn't eat it yourself, others could.

But Cong Jinhong never thought that since a Beijinger like Wang Bingxian was so picky, why would he give this piece of fat meat to you?

Are they stupid?
