Su Xinyi didn't think much of it, but offered a suggestion: "Beiping, I know you're wondering if it was done by a competitor."
This remark drew everyone's attention.
No one had thought of this before, but suddenly being pointed out like this made it seem as if a severed thread in their minds had been reconnected.
Hou Baolin: "Damn it, it might really be them."
Wu Di: "That's right, otherwise who would bother Jiang He for no reason?"
Previously, Wu Di and Jiang He had a good relationship, so he spoke with righteous indignation at this time.
Ye Beiping was only slightly surprised when he heard Su Xinyi speak again: "Since they've started resorting to underhanded tactics, we can't just go against them. Why don't we just give up and find other ways to make money?"
The gentle voice, far from being offensive to Ye Beiping, actually made him feel a little ticklish.
But he was still resentful.
Is the business I worked so hard to build up going to be ruined like this?
This is such a disgrace to reborn people.
Tao Qiuyan rarely spoke up at this time, and she said, "I think Xinyi is right. We have enough money to live on in Beiping. There is no need to fight with them to the death."
When she spoke, Hou Baolin and Wu Di, though unconvinced, dared not utter a word.
Even Ye Xiaoxin kept nodding in agreement.
Nothing is more important than personal safety.
In their eyes, Ye Beiping simply doesn't have the ability to compete with his rivals.
They've already started resorting to underhanded tactics; I really don't want Ye Beiping to be ambushed and beaten up when he's alone sometime.
But Ye Beiping sighed repeatedly: "Mom, wife, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that I can't stop now."
"Can't stop?" Su Xinyi was surprised and frowned as she asked, "Why?"
Even Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin were not quite sure why they couldn't stop.
Ye Beiping glanced around the house and saw that there were no outsiders. Hou Baolin and Wu Di were his own people, so even if he told them, they wouldn't spread the word. He could only explain with a headache.
“I don’t even have enough money on hand to pay for the goods in Wencheng right now. And today I ordered 5,000 pieces of clothing from Qiaosi Garment Factory in Hangzhou. I’ve already paid a deposit of 5,000 yuan, and the balance is 35,000 yuan in half a month.”
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped in disbelief, their eyes widening as they stared at Ye Beiping.
"Where's the money?" Tao Qiuyan's voice rose several octaves.
You always hear your son making money, so why are you suddenly saying it's not enough to pay for the goods?
Every few days, they would come and go, collecting thousands of banknotes—this was something Tao Qiuyan witnessed firsthand.
Even Ye Xiaoxin became nervous: "Beiping, what about the money we earned before?"
No one expected Ye Beiping to say he was broke now; this was truly shocking.
Left with no other choice, Ye Beiping had to reveal the details of the chain store business.
“I was planning to open a chain of stores, right? I invested 45,000 yuan for a 90% stake, and Jiang Hai invested 5,000 yuan for a 10% stake. All the spare money was given to Jiang Hai. He went to Shangcheng District today to rent a shop, but who knew he would run into Jiang He and get arrested.”
"As for the money, after we settled the payment for the last batch of goods, the new batch we just received is still sitting in the warehouse and we haven't sold much yet. We currently owe at least 30,000 yuan."
After considering the money he had on hand, Ye Beiping had no choice but to speak up.
"Then... can we return the goods from Qiaosi Garment Factory? We just ordered them today, right? Can we return them first?" Su Xinyi quickly understood and discovered the key point.
The 45,000 yuan was given to Jiang Hai, and this money is definitely untouchable until Jiang Hai is released.
So there's only the 5,000 yuan deposit from Qiaosi Garment Factory.
If I cancel this order of 5,000 pieces of clothing, will I not need to pay the remaining balance of 35,000 yuan?
Ye Beiping shook his head: "It can't be refunded unless you give up the deposit."
"hiss!"
Several gasps of surprise erupted from the audience once again.
Tao Qiuyan, in particular, sat slumped on the sofa with lifeless eyes, her lips trembling incessantly.
The famine costing 30,000 yuan was something Tao Qiuyan, who came from a rural background, could never have imagined.
Ye Xiaoxin's mouth was agape in disbelief.
"Beiping, how about we sell all the goods in the warehouse?" Wu Di suggested at this moment.
Thinking about his brother's debt of 30,000 yuan for famine relief, he became somewhat anxious.
Hou Baolin nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, if we sell all the goods, we can pay it back, right?"
"hehe."
Ye Beiping gave a bitter laugh, threw the lighter in his hand on the coffee table and shook his head: "Things are not that simple. Even if I can give up the 5,000 yuan deposit from Qiaosi Garment Factory and sell all the goods in the warehouse, I don't have much money left."
"Besides, the two districts you're in charge of can't compete with them at all. If they were the ones who did what happened today, we'd probably lose three districts in one fell swoop. How can those goods in the warehouse sell so easily?"
"This..." Wu Di fell into a long silence after hearing this.
Seeing that no one was saying anything, Hou Baolin became anxious.
"Then what can we do? We can't just do nothing, can we?"
No one paid any attention to him.
Ye Beiping chuckled and shook his head, appearing to everyone as if he were at a loss.
But only he knew that things weren't over yet, and it wouldn't be so easy to bring him down.
Although I don't have much money on hand, I still have some funds to pay for the goods, so I can rent the shop first.
If the cost isn't enough to renovate ten stores simultaneously, then reduce it to five stores; that should definitely be enough.
