Lu Fan asked a few more questions, but Lu Sanjiu refused to say anything, as if he had some unspeakable secret.
A few million is nothing to Lu Fan.
Sometimes it doesn't even cost him as much as a single meal.
If something really happened to Uncle Lu, Lu Fan certainly wouldn't ignore it.
He just wanted to know the whole story.
To prevent Uncle Lu from unknowingly falling into a trap set by some persona.
After some persuasion, Uncle Lu finally agreed to tell the whole story.
Actually, he didn't have any urgent need for money. It was just that when the company was purchasing building materials, he paid the final payment but the goods were delayed.
Logically speaking, it's only natural to exchange money for goods.
However, sometimes it's unavoidable that the other party's goods delivery might be delayed. Sometimes, everyone will be understanding and give each other an extension.
Uncle Lu used to be a contractor with a good reputation. He would usually give a deposit, and then pay about half of the money in the first installment.
He continued to operate under the same policy after taking over Fanyue Real Estate Company.
The other party took the money but delayed delivering the goods. When Uncle Lu went to confront them, the other party repeatedly made excuses, which made Uncle Lu realize something was wrong.
Now that the second phase of the residential buildings is about to be built, but the materials haven't all arrived yet, Uncle Lu is getting anxious.
When I pressed them again and tried to contact them again, they only said they wanted to raise the price.
Uncle Lu had no choice but to purchase from other manufacturers.
We can only accept our bad luck and the loss of that deposit and the first installment of material costs.
However, he hadn't been working for Lu Fan for long, and he didn't have much money on hand. He obviously didn't have enough money to buy materials, so he thought of asking Lu Fan for some money to cover the shortfall.
Lu Fan, however, had many other thoughts:
"You're being foolish! Third Uncle, you can't let them keep owing you things like this!"
"Have you forgotten what happened when we took over the printing factory? Their previous factory manager ran off with the money. What if you encounter a similar situation again in the future? Are you going to accept the loss every time?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Lu was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time:
"This...this can't be right."
But this wasn't just hearsay; Uncle Lu knew exactly how the printing factory came to be.
Logically speaking, they should be more cautious and careful in dealing with this matter.
Unexpectedly, he subconsciously agreed to their request, asking them to take the prepayment first and then continue receiving the goods gradually.
At first, the other party was somewhat responsive, saying that they would deliver the goods once the logistics company arrived.
After managing to appease Uncle Lu, he went back to his carefree life. But after dragging it out for a long time, Uncle Lu refused to listen anymore and insisted that the goods be delivered!
But at this moment, the other party's attitude underwent a stunning 180-degree change.
They were shamelessly planning to owe us the goods, not only refusing to deliver them, but also telling Uncle Lu to sue them if he dared.
If the other party is determined to be a deadbeat, what's the point of suing them?
Unable to get this money back, Uncle Lu was truly at his wit's end.
“Nephew, I know it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have let that bastard take the money while the goods were still owed! But I really have no other choice now.”
Uncle Lu was filled with self-pity and regret.
It wouldn't matter if it harmed himself, but Fanyue Real Estate Company belongs to Lu Fan.
He absolutely refused to let his nephew be harmed!
Just as Uncle Lu was feeling frustrated and distressed, Lu Fan had already come up with an idea:
"Leave this to me. Just tell me which company it is."
Uncle Lu quickly stopped him, saying:
"Oh! Nephew, isn't this inappropriate? You're so busy, why do you have to meddle in my trivial matters?"
"Besides, if you want to sue, then sue. Our company has a legal department, just ask them to sue. Don't get upset."
But no matter how much they tried to persuade him, they couldn't stop him.
Lu Fan said to his third uncle:
"This is no trivial matter. If we can't even get this batch of goods back, people will think we're easy to bully."
Lu Fan has never defaulted on any payments, but his business has run into a deadbeat. If this isn't dealt with, what will become of him?
Uncle Lu had no choice but to give the name of the company. As for Lu Fan, he certainly wouldn't go by himself.
The son of a wealthy family should be disciplined; such matters should naturally be left to professionals.
After seeing off Uncle Lu, Lu Fan dialed Li Tian's number.
"Brother Li, the tech company is gradually getting bigger, and I have a job for you. Consider it your last job before you retire from this business," Lu Fan joked over the phone.
Given his relationship with Li Tian, it would be an easy task for him to get Li Tian and his people to go to the company that owed him materials.
Li Tian, along with a few brothers and Uncle Lu, arrived at the other party's company in a leisurely manner, as if they were having a picnic.
There weren't many of them, less than ten in total. "Hongxing Building Materials Co., Ltd., this is it."
