"Why should I help you?" President Hao didn't care about being subtle anymore and said to Lu Feng, "If I'm happy, everything is easy to handle, understand?"
Lu Feng shook his head blankly and said, "No... I don't really understand."
"Look at you, here's what I'll do, you do it!" Mr. Hao said helplessly, "After dinner, let's go to karaoke, find some girls, have some fun. If you think this will work out, listen to me, you'll find a way to get another five million in funding."
"Five million more?" Feng Zhiyao exclaimed, "We're here to collect a debt, not to give away money."
"Why are you talking so much as an assistant? You've been chattering away all night. Eat your food and get out!" President Hao scolded Feng Zhiyao.
Feng Zhiyao's face instantly turned ugly. Even Brother Feng had never reprimanded him like that. Being spoken to like that by a junior manager made him want to explode.
"He's just a kid, he doesn't know any better, please don't take offense." Lu Feng asked President Hao, "What's the deal with the five million?"
"Brother, let me tell you, I usually don't tell anyone about this, but I think you're a bit naive. Our company is a bit short on funds, and your account with Benxi Steel Group has actually been merged into one. There are three things to do at home, so we should start with the most urgent. Last time I was in a meeting, the leader said, 'Focus on the big things and let go of the small ones!'" General Manager Hao looked at Lu Feng with a mysterious expression.
"What does 'focusing on the big and letting go of the small' have to do with this five million?" Lu Feng asked, puzzled.
“You young man, you have to be frank. ‘Focusing on the big debts and letting go of the small ones’ means paying off the larger debts first. The smaller debts are not prioritized. You currently have 18 million in debt, so your priority is not high. If you lend him another 5 million, that makes 23 million, which is a large sum of money. Once the finance department reports it and the leader signs it off, the money will be in your account immediately. Do you understand?” President Hao raised his glass and said, “I really don’t tell this to just anyone.”
“If the other party doesn’t pay back the money, I’ll lend it to him again. If he still doesn’t pay back, I’ll lend it to him again. I’ll make him owe me a billion dollars, and that will scare him into paying back the money immediately. Is that the logic?” Lu Feng asked.
"almost!"
Feng Zhiyao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Would anyone believe such nonsense?
Believe it or not, some people actually believe it, and quite a few at that. Because many companies are burdened with debt, they tend to focus on the big picture and let go of the small ones, provided that the borrower is an upstream company that is holding the company by the throat, so that the company dares not default on its debts.
"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?" President Hao asked.
“Don’t take it to heart.” Lu Feng thought about it seriously for a moment and said, “This matter is quite important, and I need to talk to the other shareholders of the company.”
"You talk, let's drink this glass of wine and head to the 'Golden Powder Mansion'!" President Hao said, raising his glass.
Lu Feng pressed his glass down, clinked it with President Hao's, drank it all in one gulp, and asked the waiter to settle the bill. Including the private room fee, it only cost a little over 500 yuan, plus a bottle of Moutai for a little over 200 yuan.
President Hao walked in front, with Lu Feng following behind. Feng Zhiyao whispered, "Brother Feng, can this guy get things done? He's obviously just here to rip us off!"
"That's how it is when you're collecting debts. You can run into all sorts of weirdos and monsters. First, find out their background, and don't spend too much money on them. Once they get a taste of the benefits, the debt will be indefinitely delayed." Lu Feng said in a low voice, striding forward to follow President Hao and offering him a cigarette.
The hardest thing in the world is collecting debts. It can drive a person crazy. If you have a good heart, it's okay, but many people with bad intentions will extort money, make all sorts of disgusting demands, and in the end, they'll take advantage of you and still not pay you back.
I hailed two taxis and headed straight to Jin Fen Ren Jia. Karaoke is considered the predecessor of KTV. In places with more business activities and higher consumption, many karaoke rooms have been transformed into private rooms.
Because we need to provide some private services, those booths and group dancing areas are considered low-end. Tonight we're going to a business karaoke place!
"Good morning, leader!"
A dozen or so women and young men called out in unison at the door. Mr. Hao put his hands behind his back, stuck out his belly, nodded slightly, and walked inside.
"Boss, do you have a reservation?" a supervisor asked as he walked over.
"No, book my most expensive private room, bring out some imported liquor, and call a few foreign men," President Hao said with great arrogance.
Upon hearing this, the supervisor's face immediately lit up with a smile. He had met a big spender and hurriedly said, "Please come in!"
Seeing that he looked determined to spend his fill tonight and wouldn't turn back, Feng Zhiyao whispered, "Brother Feng, we haven't even finished the business yet, and you're already spending money?"
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's play first!"
