Just when Weng Xiaozhu was about to leave, the two leaders from the construction supervision department kept her here. They felt that Weng Xiaozhu was right. Instead of putting out fires everywhere, it would be better to set up an organization specifically to solve the headache of debt.
When triangular debts were rampant, the city had set up a special agency to deal with them. But because it didn't have much effect, the matter was dropped.
Now that workers are blocking the road, we have to take it seriously. Besides, if we set up a dedicated agency, these two bosses won't have to worry so much.
Otherwise, whenever there is an accident on a construction site, the city’s bigwigs will think of them first.
The two of them discussed it and took Weng Xiaozhu directly to their superiors regardless of whether she was willing or not.
But even if the city leaders agree to set up a dedicated agency, it will take time. Right now, workers are still blocking the road, and this is the most urgent issue that needs to be resolved.
So, in front of those bosses, Weng Xiaozhu called the accountant of Xinjiayuan Company and asked her to go to the commercial bank to withdraw money and then pay the workers' wages.
After Weng Xiaozhu put down the phone, all the leaders present breathed a sigh of relief. Now they were finally relieved that the road blockage would be resolved soon.
Next, they discussed the establishment of a specialized agency. At this point, Weng Xiaozhu, a representative of the company, also expressed his opinion.
What she said was nothing more than what Li Cheng had told her before. She was just a relayer, passing these words to the senior leaders.
Weng Xiaozhu herself was also annoyed by the debt. Fortunately, thanks to Li Cheng's efforts, the New Home Company's funds were still relatively abundant, which saved her a lot of trouble.
In contrast, several other engineering companies were in a lot of trouble. They either owed money to material suppliers or the contractors didn't have enough funds, leaving them in a state of panic and having to borrow money from everywhere to make ends meet.
Borrowing money creates new debts, which in turn leads to new debts for these companies, ultimately creating circular debts, which are even more difficult to handle than triangular debts.
At this time, the New Home Company stood out. Apart from this road blocking incident, it had never had any debt disputes.
This can be said to be a miracle. Without Li Cheng and the branch behind him, this miracle would not have been possible.
After Weng Xiaozhu reported the financial situation of the New Home Company and the problems that had arisen in the city's construction sector in detail to the bosses, these bosses all showed expressions of admiration and surprise on their faces.
"Ms. Weng, I can't believe it! You, a seemingly fragile woman, can actually manage a company in the construction industry so successfully. It's truly remarkable! Compared to those established companies, New Home Company can be said to be a rising star in the private sector."
After the older boss finished speaking, Weng Xiaozhu quickly said, "Thank you for the compliment. New Home Company has not done enough. Our business philosophy is to build our city, build our new home, make our city more beautiful, and provide people with a better living environment. To achieve this goal, we cannot do without the strong support of all leaders and the general public."
Perhaps the ideas Weng Xiaozhu had borrowed from Li Cheng were too novel, and the leaders were stunned after hearing them. After a long while, led by the older leader, they finally burst into applause...
After the applause died down, Weng Xiaozhu quickly spoke, "Right now, the debt problem is very serious, and the wage arrears are the worst. As the general manager of a construction company, I should do my utmost to prevent this from happening, but the road blockage still happened. I will reflect on this and ensure that such problems never occur again."
The bigwigs present all nodded, thinking that Mr. Weng was very capable, knew the current affairs and the overall situation, and had the demeanor of an entrepreneur.
Weng Xiaozhu added, "Actually, before setting up a dedicated agency, the city could also issue a document to relevant units, informing them of the dangers of wage arrears and urging them to do their utmost to guarantee workers' wages. They should definitely have enough money for the New Year."
The oldest and most senior boss nodded after hearing this, then looked around at everyone present and said, "Boss Weng's suggestion is excellent. After this symposium, we can issue a notice requiring construction companies, their supervisory departments, and financial institutions like banks to do their utmost to guarantee workers' wages, so they have enough money to celebrate the New Year and return home..."
At this moment, Weng Xiaozhu's cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Everyone looked at her, even the big boss who was speaking looked at her.
Weng Xiaozhu glanced at the caller ID and said apologetically, "Sorry, it's the company accountant calling."
Everyone present knew that Weng Xiaozhu had asked the company accountant to go to the bank to withdraw money to pay salaries. Now when they heard that it was the accountant calling, they quickly signaled Weng Xiaozhu to answer the phone.
After Weng Xiaozhu answered the phone, she heard the accountant say, "The bank won't let us withdraw the money. They said they have an agreement with you. We can only withdraw the money after the end of the year..."
Weng Xiaozhu asked, "Have you told them about the workers blocking the road?"
The accountant said, "I told them, but they still won't let me withdraw the money."
Weng Xiaozhu said, "I understand," and hung up the phone. But before she could put it down, the phone started vibrating again...
Weng Xiaozhu took a look at the phone number and saw that it was a call from Vice President Xin of the Commercial Bank.
Weng Xiaozhu didn't answer the call, but instead said to the people present: "The bank won't let you withdraw money. They said you can only withdraw money after the end of the year."
The older boss frowned and said, "What kind of rule is this? Why do they have the final say on when you can withdraw your money? Aren't deposits voluntary and withdrawals free?"
Weng Xiaozhu still had a conscience and did not take this opportunity to stab Vice President Xin.
She explained, "That commercial bank also has its own difficulties. They want to keep our company's money until the end of the year, so that their indicators will look better..."
Before Weng Xiaozhu could finish, the older boss was furious. He suddenly slammed the table and shouted, "It's already this hour, and he's still thinking about looking good? Do you think workers blocking the road are good? He simply has no sense of the overall situation."
Weng Xiaozhu was speechless, looking down at her phone.
At this time, the phone vibrated again, and the boss said, "Answer the call and tell him that the money must be given to you. Otherwise, they will be responsible for any consequences."
Weng Xiaozhu quickly said "OK" and pressed the answer button...
