Three hundred boxes of egg rolls, half of which would cost over nine hundred yuan. He Shan didn't have that much money on her. She did have it in her salary card, but it was kept by He Wenlin.
When He Shan came back that evening, she said to He Wenlin, "Linlin, I remember that half of the deposit for the order is due. You can just take my bank card and withdraw it. I'll tell you the password."
“There’s no need to rush,” He Wenlin said. “This time, you don’t need to pay half the deposit. When the goods are delivered, I will get the full payment directly from your sister. But if you want to take more goods, you will need to pay half the money first.”
With so many relatives and friends, some saying they'll buy on credit, others saying they'll settle the payment after the goods are sold, He Wenlin will have to put in far too much money.
It's easy to incur debt, but difficult to collect it.
So let's set rules from the beginning that must be followed!
He Wenlin refused to accept half of He Shan's money this time mainly because He Ling and He Shan are good people and trustworthy.
Another point is that I have to pay He Shan's salary, so I'm not afraid of them defaulting on their payments.
Mr. and Mrs. He returned home around 9 p.m.
Both of them looked disheveled.
"The cleaning is all done. The four walls of the two rooms on the east side are tiled, and the room by the front door on the west side has not only tiled walls but also floor tiles. The security door is also installed. The only thing missing is the telephone, which will be installed the day after tomorrow. If anything happens, just call Bai Zhengyi's house. This is his phone number." He's father took out a piece of paper with a string of numbers written on it.
He Wenlin copied the number into the store's phone book, and also copied it into her own phone book.
This era is just so inconvenient.
“Song Bo found out today that we’re not renewing the lease, and he threw a tantrum here. I’m worried he might do something bad, so we’ll all be careful lately,” He Wenlin reminded him.
Lin Fei said angrily, "That bastard doesn't want to return the deposit. Linlin said that if he doesn't return the deposit, she won't settle his water and electricity bills. He got so angry that he wanted to hit us."
Upon hearing this, the He family's expressions changed drastically.
"That bastard, I'm going to find him!" Father He was very agitated and immediately got up to go out and settle accounts with Song Bo.
Grandma He stopped her, saying, "Don't be impulsive."
After saying that, he asked He Wenlin, "Did he hit you?"
He Wenlin shook her head: "No, there are too many people in our store. Even if he wanted to fight, he wouldn't have the chance. Dad, don't be impulsive. Fighting is pointless. We can 'repay' him in another way."
Everyone stared at her: "What's your plan?"
"Don't worry about that. Just move the factory there tomorrow. Lingling ordered 300 boxes of goods today. We've been under a lot of production pressure lately. Mom, please hire a few more people from there as soon as possible. All the machines must be running."
Grandma He was surprised: "Lingling is selling egg rolls too? Her glutinous rice was selling so well."
"The glutinous rice business is doing alright. Business is good in the morning and evening, but it doesn't sell well at noon and in the afternoon, so she's thinking of selling some in the afternoon," He Wenlin said. "The goods need to be delivered on the 30th. Others will definitely increase their orders for the holiday. We're having a promotion at Lianhua Supermarket, and we need to prepare 200 boxes every day. We need to start planning and making arrangements now."
"Won't we run out of machines?" Aunt He said. "Twenty-four machines running 24 hours a day can produce more than 400 boxes, but we now need to produce nearly 360 or 370 pieces every day."
“I have already ordered six more units. Once the factory moves over, Mr. Meng, they will be delivered.”
"That's good." Aunt He was relieved.
"Mr. He, you're all back."
Zhang Xiaoqing actually came.
Having just heard Lin Fei say that her husband was going to beat up Lin Fei and He Wenlin in the store, the He family members weren't giving Zhang Xiaoqing a friendly look.
"What are you doing here? Just like your husband, trying to beat someone up?" Mrs. He said irritably.
"Madam, I'm so sorry, but my husband has a sharp tongue and a bad temper. Please don't take it to heart. I've already talked to him about raising the rent. From now on, we'll still rent to you at the original price. What do you think? Moving will be a hassle for you, right?"
Mrs. He: "We dare not rent it. Who knows if they will raise the rent again in a couple of days? You have no credibility at all."
"I think you're up to no good, like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken," Mr. He said irritably. "What are you plotting now?"
Zhang Xiaoqing: "It's nothing..."
"What else could it be?" He Wenlin's lips curled into a mocking smile. "They probably think that even if they rented the whole floor for 300 a month, it wouldn't be as cost-effective as renting it to us."
The He family didn't understand what He Wenlin meant.
But Zhang Xiaoqing's expression changed upon hearing this.
She hadn't expected He Wenlin to be so clever; she had actually guessed it!
He Wenlin explained, "We installed air conditioning because we use it for production, so we consume a lot of electricity. Our electricity cost is one yuan per kilowatt-hour. Even if we don't say half, she will make at least forty percent of it."
Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood.
Suddenly, I felt that Song Bo and Zhang Xiaoqing were too greedy!
Lin Fei, being outspoken, blurted out, "You guys are really ripping us off! You're not satisfied with just making enough for rent and electricity; you want to raise the rent to an exorbitant level! Do you think we're easy targets?!"
"We pay so much in electricity bills every month, and you're still not satisfied? You're raising the rent so much too. Get out of here. The lease is up, we're not renting anymore. Stop talking nonsense and stop interfering with our business." Mrs. He was furious and directly ordered them to leave. "Do you think we print money?"
Having her thoughts exposed by He Wenlin, Zhang Xiaoqing felt embarrassed and slunk back home.
