However, Takahashi Taro didn't want to pay out of his own pocket, so he contacted the finance department of the Shanghai branch and asked them to come and settle the bill.
The finance department dared not refuse, after all, one was the current boss and the other was the former boss, neither of whom could afford to offend either.
So he obediently took the company's last sum of money and paid the lawyer's fees.
The law firm owner, after receiving the money, wasn't in a hurry to bail the person out. Anyway, it wouldn't be long before the person was released, so he let the young man stay inside for a couple of days.
I'm not discriminating against ordinary people; I'm speaking out for women.
Takahashi Taro, on the other hand, thought it was perfectly normal. He even thought to himself, "These days are indeed difficult. There's a reason why they charge so much money." So, he became even more confident.
Meanwhile, his uncle also found him another job in China, managing to get him in through his own connections.
Then I kept calling him and urging him to come back to China as soon as possible.
Takamoto Taro couldn't wait to meet Yamamoto Jiro, so he told his secretary and quietly returned to Japan alone.
The next day, all the merchants came to ask for discounts and subsidies, but the discount platform could only tell them to wait a little longer.
However, a few hot-tempered merchants simply couldn't wait. They thought, "What the hell? Are you trying to scam us? We've partnered with so many group-buying platforms before, and there's never been a case of delayed subsidies."
So, a heated argument broke out downstairs while they were grabbing the discounts, and eventually, even Uncle Hat showed up.
But the merchants didn't physically assault anyone, and the one who owed money was the one offering discounts. Uncle Hat glanced at Xiao Rizhi with disdain, thinking, "Damn, they have no money but come to Shanghai to act like big shots and open a company. They're really shameless."
Lin Chen also heard the news, after all, Huasuan.com's users are all over the world.
There's even an online organization called "Abacus Heroes" for the users of Huasuan.com.
The character "算" in "算算网" (suàn suàn wǎn yǎn wǎn) means "calculation" or "settlement". The character "盘" (pán) is the same as the character "键" (jiàn) in "keyboard".
So, taking advantage of this wave of popularity, Lin Chen secretly notified several Panda TV streamers to go and join in the fun.
Of course these streamers would be willing to go. It's obvious that Panda TV will provide viewership for this kind of event, and it's a social news story anyway. They're just there to join in the fun, which is also relevant to their profession.
Sure enough, Panda TV featured these streamers' live streams on its homepage.
This sudden surge in popularity of group-buying deals has caused many consumers who were originally planning to take advantage of these deals to abandon their plans.
This company is clearly on its last legs. Who would dare to do group buying now? You might just lose your money. Besides, it's a small, struggling company. They might just disappear and you won't be able to find them.
Consumers who have already snagged the group-buying deal at a discount either rush to use it up or call to request a refund.
But then another problem arose: the merchants refused to serve consumers who were eager to use the discounted group-buying coupons they had just bought!
Since the merchants already owe a large sum of money due to discount coupons, if they continue to use the discount coupons, won't they end up owing even more money?
So, we're sorry, but please go directly for a refund if you purchased the group-buying voucher at a discounted price. We do not accept any more vouchers for use.
This immediately angered consumers, who promptly filed a complaint with the relevant authorities.
The streamers on Panda TV heard about what was happening and rushed over to broadcast. This was featured on the homepage; normally, these small streamers wouldn't get a chance to be featured.
When colleagues from the relevant departments arrived and learned about the situation, they immediately became anxious.
I also stocked up on a lot of discounted group-buying coupons, and you're saying I can't use them anymore?
The merchant tearfully explained, "It really can't be used anymore! The discount coupon company is almost bankrupt, and we can't get our money back! Officials from the relevant departments, you have to help us! Discount coupon company is run by the Japanese! They have no integrity whatsoever!"
Therefore, colleagues from the relevant departments, upon receiving reports from the public, formally opened a case and went to the location of the discount robbery to conduct an investigation.
"Call your manager here."
The receptionist, who had snagged a great deal, ran all over the company looking for him, only to be told that Takahashi Taro wasn't in today and she couldn't reach him by phone.
So, the company's second-in-command came out to greet the colleagues from the relevant departments.
"Uncle Hat, what can I do for you?"
Are you the person in charge of the company?
"Huh? No, I'm not."
Where is your supervisor?
"Um, the previous person in charge was detained, and we can't get in touch with the current person in charge."
When colleagues in the relevant departments heard this, they were shocked. This was clearly the prelude to their escape.
"We received a report that your company owes money to merchants. Is this true?"
"Well... we're already trying to raise the money."
"So there is? The merchants earn their money through hard work and blood. They work very hard. We'll go to your headquarters right now to ask for the money and pay off the debts first."
"Ah, this..."
Just as the second-in-command who was grabbing the discounts was still arguing with his colleagues in the relevant departments, Yamamoto Jiro suddenly returned.
It turns out that the law firm owner, seeing that there was only one day left before the detention period ended, contacted the police, and after some communication, they got the person released.
Yamamoto Jiro was completely unaware that he had been removed from his position and still considered himself the head of the China region.
"Hello, I'm the person in charge of the discount deals in China. How can I help you?"
"What's the matter? Your company owes money to merchants, and you're asking me what's going on? What kind of person are you to be in charge? Come on, let's get this straight."
"..."
So, Yamamoto Jiro, who had just returned, was taken away again.
The second-in-command didn't even have time to tell him that he had been dismissed.
"Name."
"Jiro Yamamoto."
This damn sense of familiarity.
However, this time Uncle Hat didn't suspect anything, because he knew that he was the person in charge of this Japanese company, so it was only reasonable for him to be living a simple life.
"Explain yourself, why are you in arrears with the merchants' money?"
"Report, I just got out of the detention center, and I haven't had time to find out what's going on yet."
"...Then why didn't you say so just now?"
"My brain didn't process it."
"I think I know why your company is going out of business. Fine, we'll go to your company with you again."
So, Uncle Hat had no choice but to bring Yamamoto Jiro to the discount sale again.
However, upon arrival, they were informed that Yamamoto Jiro was no longer the person in charge of the company. The person in charge was named Takahashi Taro, and they did not know where he had gone or could not be contacted at present.
Finally, I asked my secretary, who was on vacation at home, and learned that Takahashi Taro had returned to Japan overnight last night.
The reason she's on vacation at home is because Takahashi Taro gave her quite a hard time before leaving yesterday. Fortunately, he left her some money, so she didn't get it for free.
