Wu Bingcheng knew that his eldest brother's family must be able to sell some property, so he went to the hospital ward to find him after work.
When they arrived at the ward, Ming Guizhi started crying without waiting for him to speak.
"Bingcheng, you're here! I heard the bank loan has been approved. Can you lend it to my family first? Your eldest brother needs surgery, and the doctor said it will cost over 200,000 yuan. Unfortunately, your eldest brother didn't listen to my advice and didn't buy insurance. We have to cover all the expenses ourselves."
Wu Bingcheng had to swallow his words when he asked his elder brother to pay the debt.
No matter how much he disliked his elder brother's previous behavior, they were brothers from the same mother after all, and he couldn't force his elder brother to pay back the debt at this time.
If anything happens to my eldest brother, my mother will be sad and upset.
The mother would remove the eldest brother from his position as general manager because of his continuous losses, but she would not disown her son just because he lost so much money.
"Sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you. The bank only approved 300,000 yuan. The raw material suppliers took most of it, and the rest was used to pay the employees. Currently, there is not a penny in the company's account. I have tried every way to raise money, but I still can't get it. I hope that my brother will get better soon and continue to take over the company. I feel that I am not capable enough. If the company goes bankrupt under my leadership, I will let down the ancestors of the Wu family. My brother's medical expenses still need to be solved by you, sister-in-law. I can't stay long. I will return to the company after seeing our mother."
He didn't say a word to Wu Bingwen the whole time.
After confirming that Wu Bingcheng had left, Ming Guizhi returned to Wu Bingwen's bedside. "Bingwen, you should stay in the hospital a little longer! I'm very familiar with the attending doctor, and he'll write your condition off as more serious."
Wu Bingwen sighed, "It can only be done this way. Once I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll be faced with company debts and forced to raise money by my mother and brother. It's better for me to stay here and have some peace and quiet!"
"You're such a fool! Why didn't you just write an IOU to Chu Xuan? Why did you actually go through the process of notarizing it?"
Facing his wife's accusations, Wu Bingwen's face was filled with regret. "I was just trying to trick Mom into selling antiques to help me pay back the debt. Who would have thought that thieves would smash all the antiques? Who would have thought that the money I invested would be wasted again? This year is really unlucky! If I had known that the antiques would all be broken into pieces, I would have sold them for money. You're the one who said that keeping antiques would appreciate in value."
"Why are you blaming me again? I'm doing this for our eldest wife. Don't be ungrateful."
"Now I'm still carrying a debt of 250,000 yuan. What's the point of doing this? I've lost all my face!"
"Are you really going to pay me back?"
"I definitely can't not pay it back. It's been notarized. Unless I have no property under my name in the future, the relevant departments will often remind me to pay it back."
"You really don't have any property to your name now, so you might as well give up! You have no money, and you have your life."
"Do you want to kill me? Don't you understand the laws here? If Chu Xuan sues me, I'll be locked up for years. My life will be completely ruined!"
"Chu Xuan is just a country bumpkin, what does he know about suing or not?"
"It's true that Chu Xuan is a country bumpkin, but do you think Tian Xiaoyun is a vegetarian? Anyway, I can't go to jail. When Chu Xuan comes to collect the debt, you and the children have to help me raise the money."
"Where do I have any money? I'll sell everything I have that's valuable to help you pay off your loan sharks."
Just then, their eldest son, Wu Mingpeng, walked in with a happy look on his face. "Mom and Dad, you don't have to worry about money. When Chu Xuan comes to you urgently for a debt, just tell me and I will definitely raise the money to pay it back for you."
Ming Guizhi looked incredulous. "Son, you've enjoyed all the dividends you've received over the past two years. There's no way the company will receive any dividends this year. Where can you raise that much money?"
Wu Mingpeng said confidently, "If I say I can, I will definitely do it. I will withdraw from the family company. I plan to start my own company and go it alone. The profits will be ours and we won't have to worry about sharing them with my second uncle's family."
Wu Bingwen was skeptical. "Starting a company requires money. Have you already raised the money?"
Wu Mingpeng said with a relaxed expression, "That's right. My friend will lend me 300,000 yuan for working capital. He won't be involved in the company's operations, he just wants the interest and principal."
Wu Bingwen was already afraid of losing money. He was about to ask what he would do if he lost money, but he was afraid that he would come across as a pessimist, so he simply said nothing.
At this moment, Wu Bingcheng was already in his mother's ward.
Old Mrs. Wu has experienced many ups and downs in her life, and the company has gone through many ups and downs, but she has managed to get through it all, and this time is no exception.
If I can't rely on the eldest son, I can still rely on the second son.
She has confidence in her second son.
"Bingcheng, now it's your turn to contribute to the Wu family. Last time the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, I helped your eldest brother save the situation. This time, I will help you get the company out of trouble."
"Mom, I'm glad you can think it through! The company really can't do without you. Putting aside Xiao Xuan's 250,000, the company still has over 200,000 in funding shortfalls. I'm currently trying to find a way to raise the money."
"I've made a list of names and contact information. Call them one by one to borrow money. Also, contact Xiaoyun and explain the current situation. See if she has any good ideas for quickly reviving the company."
"Okay. But, Mom, please don't tell Xiaoyun about borrowing money from Xiaoxuan. I'm worried she'll get sick from it."
"I know."
At eight o'clock in the morning on November 9th, a voice came from the village office loudspeaker, "Chu Xuan, go to the village office to answer the phone! Chu Xuan, go to the village office..."
After hearing this, Chu Xuan rode his bicycle to the village office.
After we got there, the phone rang a short while later.
Chu Xuan answered the call.
"Hello……"
Wu Bingcheng's voice came from the phone, "Xiao Xuan, it's me."
"Dad, are you ready to go back home?"
Wu Bingcheng responded apologetically, "Xiao Xuan, I'm sorry! I have to break my promise. Something big happened at the company. Your uncle has stepped down as general manager, and I'm taking over the company now."
"Could it be that uncle paid for it?"
"That's right. He lost everything. But don't worry about your money. I had him write an IOU and had it notarized. According to the law here, if he refuses to pay back the money, he'll be imprisoned for at least five years. He won't dare not pay it back next year. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. He will definitely be able to pay it back next year."
This was said to comfort Xiaoxuan.
Wu Bingcheng had already made up his mind that if his elder brother was unable to repay the money next year, he would not give his elder brother the dividends after the company was revived, but would deduct some and return them to Xiao Xuan.
With Wu Bingcheng's assurance, Chu Xuan felt relieved. "Okay, Dad, don't tell my mom about this. Is there anything else? Do you want to call my mom?"
"I'll call your mother again in half an hour. Don't worry! I won't mention anything that would make your mother angry."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Xuan rode his bike home and told his mother to go to the village office to wait for a call.
Leave the bicycle behind and walk to Mu Chenze's house.
When we got there, Mu Chenze had just returned from the city and was eating breakfast.
No one else is home.
It makes it easier for them to talk.
"Ze, you might have the ability to predict dreams. Today, my father called me and told me that my uncle lost everything. Luckily, he wrote an IOU and had it notarized in advance. There are laws in that area, so my uncle can't deny it. Have you had any dreams recently?" (End of this chapter)
