“Coward Hong Guanwang, get out here! Don’t think we can’t do anything to you just because you’re hiding inside.”
“Everyone, follow me and let’s rush in. We can’t be punished because there are so many of us. It was Hong Guanwang who refused to pay back the money first.”
The debt collectors were making a lot of noise and commotion.
Zhang Qingyi was even more worried.
She was unaware at first that the factory area Lu Fan planned to acquire was in this situation.
They even thought it was just a regular acquisition.
They were unaware that Hong Guanwang was forced into bankruptcy because he had no money to pay wages and no remaining balance to settle accounts.
Looking at the chaos outside the factory area, I felt it was best to stay out of it.
She also strongly advised Lu Fan not to get involved in any scandalous affairs.
Lü Qiuyi glanced at Zhang Qingyi, then remained silent.
In fact, none of the companies that Lu Fan acquired were completely free of these issues.
Otherwise, why would someone sell a perfectly good company?
There was no need for Lü Qiuyi to tell Zhang Qingyi this, since the two of them had only met briefly today and when the new company moved in, so they weren't exactly familiar with each other.
Fortunately, Zhang Qingyi didn't understand; she had Lu Fan by her side.
Lu Fan corrected her, saying:
“We’re here to acquire the factory area. His debts have absolutely nothing to do with us, and they will never happen to us!”
"Put your mind at ease. Legal matters are your forte, Sister Lü."
Receiving his praise, Lü Qiuyi showed no arrogance, but simply nodded to Zhang Qingyi:
"Don't worry, Hong Guanwang might have the money to pay off this debt once he receives our acquisition payment."
Actually, this was also Lü Qiuyi's way of comforting Zhang Qingyi.
Both she and Lu Fan knew that for a boss like Hong Guanwang, who had ruined his own business and was now facing bankruptcy and having to sell it off, this was a serious matter.
Paying back the money to the bank and those lending companies with higher interest rates is the most cost-effective and in his best interest.
As for the workers?
When Hong Guanwang packs his bags and leaves, where will these people be able to find him?
Just like when Lu Fan acquired the food factory.
The workers' wages were only paid because Wang Mingtang, fearing a major disturbance, had the government intervene and settle the debt.
Now?
Lu Fan suspected that Lingnan City wouldn't care about a private enterprise like Hong Guanwang.
After thinking for a moment, he dialed Hong Guanwang's number:
“Hey, Mr. Hong, the situation outside your factory area is a mess. It’s going to be very difficult for us to get through.”
Hong Guanwang was hiding in the factory area, and after answering the phone, he was extremely grateful.
"God of Wealth, you've finally arrived! Please come in."
He also assured Lu Fan:
"We haven't been paid for several months. Let's all make a fuss. Once you transfer the payment, we'll be able to pay our salaries. We definitely won't leave any trouble for you, the buyer."
Lu Fan neither said he believed it nor he didn't.
He just smiled and said to Hong Guanwang:
"Given the current situation, we can't get in."
Hong Guanwang's heart tightened. After all, money was the most important thing, so he quickly said, "Please go around to the back, I'll come and meet you."
With that, he hung up the phone and prepared to go out the back door to pick someone up.
His secretary, seeing that Hong Guanwang was about to leave at this time, quickly stopped him:
"Mr. Hong, this won't do. It's a huge mess outside right now. If you go out and get caught, you'll be in serious trouble, if not dead."
Hong Guanwang said viciously:
"The God of Wealth has come knocking, why would I be afraid of these little devils? Humph!" With that, he ran towards the back door in three quick steps.
Seeing this, the other employees exchanged glances: "Xiao Liu, do you think we should continue making trouble?"
Xiao Liu is Hong Guanwang's secretary.
She gazed thoughtfully in the direction Hong Guanwang had left, and murmured, "..." "Don't be silly, it seems Hong Guanwang has found someone to take over the company."
"He really doesn't have any money right now, that's why he can't pay our salaries."
"There's no use making a scene now. Let's wait until he gets the money from selling the company and factory before we start making a scene!"
Everyone thought about what Xiaoliu said and realized it made sense.
If Hong Guanwang had money, people could make a scene and get it out of him. But the problem is, even if you make a scene now, you won't have any money.
Why not wait until Hong Guanwang finalizes the acquisition deal with the mysterious buyer and the money is transferred, then we can split the money equally?
At least get your wages back!
So they all sent messages to their relatives and friends who were causing trouble outside: "Alright, everyone stop now, you've had enough for today!"
"Don't scare away the God of Wealth who's come knocking on our door. Whether we get our wages depends on whether Hong Guanwang can close this deal." Before, there was no hope.
Everyone wanted to rush into the factory area, smash and loot, and vent their anger.
But everyone knows that if you don't handle this kind of thing well, you'll end up in jail.
Now that they knew someone was negotiating a takeover, and that their salaries were secured, they all breathed a sigh of relief and encouraged each other:
"Alright, now that we have buyers, we have money. Let's see if Hong Guanwang still dares to swallow it!"
"What is there for him to be afraid of? Just tell Xiao Liu to make sure the money doesn't fall into Hong Guanwang's hands, or he won't be able to come up with it."
