Chapter 197 Who Loses?
Although the contract is signed in black and white, the other party can just drag their feet, putting it off until tomorrow, and then the day after tomorrow. It may take several years before they pay. When it comes time to settle the bill, it's like an old man peeing, one drop at a time, and it won't be settled even after several years.
But Rutang is not afraid. When she makes a plan, she always has several alternatives and takes all kinds of emergencies into account.
"What evil intentions do you have, little girl?" Yu Yaoyang could tell there was something else behind her words. His wife must have a backup plan.
"Look..." Rutang took out a newspaper from his pocket and was about to show it to him when Xiaoyue and Guining came over one after another.
"Where are you going?" Yu Yaoyang asked his brother.
"My head hurts from reading so much, let's go out and see a movie." Xiaoyue replied.
In fact, he was observant and noticed that Gui Ning liked watching movies very much, but the girl was rather introverted, so he deliberately said that he liked it so that he could drag Gui Ning to watch it.
Yu Yaoyang frowned and was about to say something, but Rutang pulled him and shook his head with a smile.
"Is the money enough? Sister-in-law will give you some funds." Rutang reached into his pocket.
Xiaoyue waved her hands and said, he has money.
Seeing his brother living such a comfortable life, Yu Yaoyang was somewhat envious and said sourly, "I'm busy all day long for the family, but he has nothing to do."
In fact, Yu Yaoyang also wants to take his wife to the movies! It’s a dark movie theater, and we can hold hands. How fun!
"Let them go. If Xiaoyue hadn't always gone to the movies, we wouldn't have any way to make money. Look at this newspaper!" Rutang is now in high spirits and has a lot of fun making money.
She pointed at an inconspicuous corner of the newspaper and showed it to Yu Yaoyang.
"The movie "Red Skirts Are Popular on the Street" is about to be released - what is this?" Yu Yaoyang asked.
"Doesn't our Xiaoyue often watch movies? I was paying attention to the film and television section of the newspaper and happened to see this news. This upcoming movie will definitely have a red skirt. If the clothing factory wants to owe us the 100,000 yuan, we can ask them to pay off the debt with the inventory of materials, and they will definitely agree."
Rutang remembered that this movie was a big hit in her previous life, which boosted the sales of red skirts. From then on, people's wardrobes had more red clothes.
Its popularity is no less than that of Sachiko's shirt.
When they made Sachiko Shirt, she and Yu Yaoyang didn't have much capital, just 5,000 starting capital, so they made little money. But this time it's different, she has confidence.
"With my keen sense of fashion, it will definitely be a hit. Look, the movie has the word red skirt in its title, and the actors are so pretty. People nowadays like to follow trends so much, they will definitely buy into it."
Rutang was calculating the time in his mind. There was still a month or so before the release of the movie "Red Skirts Are Popular on the Street". As long as the clothing factory agreed to use the materials to pay off the debt, the funds were there and there was plenty of time, the project would be secure.
“What if the clothing factory sees that we are making money and then changes their mind? Or, what if another big factory copies us?” Yu Yaoyang has seen through the market through the Sachiko shirt project.
Those shameless people have no innovative spirit and just imitate others in picking peaches. They are so despicable.
"We made the Xingzi shirt when we started. We had little capital and experience, so we could only make a little money. We couldn't make a lot of money. But for the red skirt, they can't take advantage of us. If Director Wu's superior still wants to play rogue, I will teach him a lesson and make him a new man."
Rutang spoke the last four words very softly, but the smile on her face became brighter.
Twenty days later, several houses of Rutang's family were renovated and ready for moving in.
The new housewarming made everyone in the Yu family very happy, and the two elders were discussing what dinner to have in the evening to celebrate.
Director Wu came over and rubbed his hands at the Rutang couple for almost a minute. He really didn't know what to say, so he knelt down.
This kneeling confused both elders.
"If you have something to say, let's talk nicely. Why are you kneeling?" Hao Mei wanted to help him, but Director Wu knelt on the ground, covering his face and crying.
"I'm sorry to my brother Yangzi and my sister-in-law. The higher-ups told me to..."
Director Wu couldn’t say anything after that. It was too hot and too embarrassing.
Yu Yaoyang chuckled and said the following words for him.
"The higher-ups asked you to tell us that we should give us the 100,000 yuan later, right?"
"You know?" Director Wu put down his hands, his face full of surprise.
Yu Yaoyang nodded. Yes, what is there not to know?
As soon as he and his wife signed the contract, he knew that the bill would not be settled easily.
It is impossible for them to default on their debts, but they may drag it out for a long time, even for several years.
"I followed your suggestions and filled the gap, but the higher-ups suddenly changed their minds. The leader came to me and said that the funds were tight and they couldn't come up with 100,000 yuan at once. They could only give you 50,000 yuan first, and the remaining 50,000 yuan will be given to you later."
This "later" can be translated as a distant future.
"Hahaha, he really did pee!" Yu Yaoyang didn't get angry but laughed instead, and exchanged a knowing look with his wife. Rutang also laughed when she thought of the metaphor he had mentioned before about the old man peeing.
Director Wu looked at the two men in confusion. Why were they laughing? Brother Yangzi, are you talking nonsense out of anger?
"We have clearly written it in black and white. We helped you fill the hole and the money should be paid in full at once. Now you are only giving half. You are really not polite." Ru Tang had laughed enough and forced himself to remain serious.
Director Wu lowered his head, his face flushed. He knew that the matter was handled poorly by the higher-ups, but there was nothing he could do as he was a small person and his words were insignificant.
"Well, I won't make it difficult for you. Tell your boss that the remaining 50,000 can be paid with the fabric in your inventory. I want red."
"Ah?!" Director Wu was so surprised when he heard Rutang's words.
"Red fabric? Sister-in-law, are you kidding me?"
Their factory did have a lot of red fabrics, which were purchased by buyers in exchange for kickbacks when the factory was built. But no one wanted the finished clothes, so the fabrics just piled up there.
Nowadays, apart from wearing red clothes at weddings, not many people dare to wear red clothes.
It's too conspicuous and doesn't fit the atmosphere of the times.
Yu Yaoyang had bought a red dress for Rutang before. Rutang was tall and fair-skinned, and she looked great in it. Despite this, when her family sold clothes, no one dared to buy the same style as hers, as everyone was afraid of being different and attracting attention.
"I'm not kidding. I only want red and white materials. If you don't want to pay, you should at least be willing to pay for the materials, right?" Ru Tang asked.
Director Wu nodded his head rapidly, he could make the decision without any approval from above.
"Our factory does have a lot of red unsalable material, which is being eaten by rats even if it is piled up in the warehouse. But sister-in-law, it is not easy to sell clothes made of this material. Are you sure you don't want 50,000 yuan for the goods?"
Director Wu was puzzled. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed that the Rutang family was suffering heavy losses.
