Chapter 215 Who Should Be Afraid?
Seeing Yu Xiaohua's reaction, Shen Ci didn't feel much emotional inside. The department that manages the industrial park has been there since the establishment of the industrial park. It has long been a mature system. Even if she doesn't come, it will not affect everyone's normal work.
Besides, monthly salaries are paid as usual and tenants in the industrial park are required to pay rent.
"Please sit down first and let's talk slowly."
Yu Xiaohua nodded, but her eyes couldn't help but look at Shen Ci in front of her. She thought the new boss was a middle-aged strong woman, but she didn't expect her to be so young, almost the same age as her daughter.
Shen Ci slowly looked around the department's office area. The environment was acceptable and the space was not actually very large, but because there were few people on duty, it seemed a bit empty.
"Are these the only employees? They're too few," Shen Ci asked.
Yu Xiaohua couldn't help but smile awkwardly when she heard this, but since Chen Ci was the boss, she couldn't hide anything and could only tell the truth: "Some employees from other places have gone home for the New Year, and some have been gone for several days. The rest of them are either not going home for the New Year, or they are locals in Longcheng."
But there are still several days before the national statutory holiday.
Without waiting for Shen Ci to ask, Yu Xiaohua took the initiative to say: "To be honest, Miss Shen, you haven't shown up yet, and everyone has all kinds of thoughts in their minds. Many people think that you don't plan to take over and are going to sell it again, so your work enthusiasm is indeed lacking."
"Look, the rest of us are doing our job well, because whether you come or not, our monthly salary will be paid as usual, so we should do our own thing well."
Chen Ci was not angry, because there was no point in being angry. The person had already left and returned to his hometown. He couldn't get angry with Yu Xiaohua in front of him.
Her name tag says "Financial Director", but she is not in charge of human resources, so it is not her business.
Even the general manager was not at work.
"Thank you for your hard work. I will give extra rewards to all employees on duty today." Shen Ci said.
Yu Xiaohua smiled when he heard this, but then turned into a sad look.
Seeing this, Chen Ci frowned: "What's wrong? Is there any other problem with the industrial park?"
Yu Xiaohua sighed. "I'm the financial director. It's not my turn to tell you about these things, but since you're here today, I'll let you know."
"Although our industrial park is old, it has a great location and a large area. We currently have over a hundred companies of all sizes renting out. However, every year, some companies default on their rent. This has become increasingly serious since last year, and now there are dozens of companies that have been in arrears for more than six months. We've tried everything we can to get the rent back, but we can't get it."
"Since the news of this place being auctioned off came out last year, these people knew the owner was going to change. Official land auctions are inherently complicated, so they figured if they changed owners, they'd have to settle their old debts. Do you think that's possible?"
"We have a huge hole in our account this year. After deducting the normal maintenance and expenses of the park, we are actually losing money."
"Plus, since you haven't been here in the past few months, our management staff haven't been proactive in collecting debts, which has only emboldened these defaulting tenants."
"Miss Shen, since you have taken the photo of this industrial park, I will tell you the truth. Our place is rotten inside, and there are few reasonable tenants."
Yu Xiaohua observed Chen Ci's expression as he spoke. He thought Chen Ci would be furious after hearing this, but unexpectedly, her expression remained calm from beginning to end, as if she was listening to someone else's story.
This left Yu Xiaohua speechless and not knowing how to continue.
“Miss Shen, you… aren’t you angry?”
Chen Ci actually smiled and shook his head: "There's nothing to be angry about. After all, these people run companies, and they are all legal companies. They can bully you because you are also workers. But since they rented my place, I have plenty of ways to clean up this mess."
After all, they are not real gangsters or bandits. In a society ruled by law, you cannot default on your debts just because you want to.
Even if we take a step back, Shen Ci didn't buy this land to earn a small amount of rent from these tenants. She was attracted by the future potential of this land.
Yu Xiaohua was a little shocked after hearing Shen Ci's words, because the tone was really a bit too... crazy!
But soon, she knew that Shen Ci was not joking.
Shen Ci asked Yu Xiaohua to gather all the employees on duty in the conference room.
The conference room was not big, but it didn't seem crowded when everyone gathered together, because there were only 9 people in total, including Shen Ci.
These people stood side by side in a row, looking at Shen Ci with curiosity.
Chen Ci stood in the middle, looking at these people and said, "I believe everyone already knows my identity, so I won't say any more nonsense. I have just taken over the park and am completely unfamiliar with everything here, so I will do things in my own way. You just need to cooperate with me and obey me."
"I don't know what positions you all hold or what you're usually responsible for. That's not important. What's important is that you do whatever part of the work I'll assign you. You all should work together to complete the work I've assigned you before the New Year. I won't treat you unfairly."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, because Shen Ci was particularly aura-filled when he said these words.
"Immediately sort all tenants' information into separate files. Those who pay their rent on time and have no record of default will be sorted into one file. Those who are in arrears for less than three months will be sorted into another file. And those who are in arrears for three months or more will be sorted into another file."
"Then we informed tenants who were in arrears of rent by email and phone that they must pay their outstanding rent in full before the Spring Festival holiday. Otherwise, the park management department would clean up the premises and dispose of all belongings as garbage, and would initiate legal action against them."
As he said this, someone couldn't help but raise his hand.
Shen Ci looked at the man and motioned for him to speak.
"Boss, we've used this kind of intimidation before. They're like dead pigs that aren't afraid of boiling water. They don't care at all."
"Threatening?" Chen Ci sneered and shook his head: "I never threaten people. As long as they don't pay the rent before the New Year, I will find someone to destroy their nest."
When the company that runs the company is shut down, it is obvious who suffers the greatest losses.
She, Shen Ci, didn't care about the rent, but she would never let anyone bully her, and she would never show mercy when she deserved a lesson.
When the employees heard Shen Ci say this, they looked at each other in fear.
If we really kick them out, won’t we really be unable to get back the rent we owe?
"I know what you're thinking. I only lost a few months' rent. I spent over 220,000 yuan to buy this industrial park. I don't care about that little bit of rent at all. But if I liquidate their company, what will they lose? Should I be afraid, or should they?"
