Chapter 281 Chapter 281 Countdown to the End
Chapter 281
The clothing store was not open yet in the morning, but people were already lining up.
Most of these people were holding newspapers and flyers in their hands. It was obvious that Jiang Meishu's previous advertising had taken effect.
When Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan arrived and saw this scene, they were a little surprised. "Why are there so many people?"
Because it was a clothing store opening, they didn't make it as big as a factory, so they just opened it at 8 o'clock and put up a flower basket.
But I didn't expect that there were so many people waiting at the door before the flower basket was even put up.
"Look at the newspapers and flyers they are holding. They should be here according to the dates on them."
They said it would open at 8:08 am on February 28th, but now at 7 am, there is already a line.
So these people came at six o'clock?
After realizing this, Jiang Meishu was a little shocked. "Why are they here so early?"
There's no need to buy clothes so early.
Jiang Meilan looked at the children being led by their parents and understood a little. "The children have to come, and the parents have no choice."
Most of the people queuing up look quite respectable. Well, if they were not respectable enough and did not care enough about their children, they would not line up in the children's clothing store so early in the morning.
Jiang Meishu has never been a mother, so she can't understand this mentality, but as long as the business can make money, it's good enough.
She went to open the door, and Jiang Meilan and Shen Yinping went to greet the new customers. Yes, Shen Yinping was called over by Jiang Meilan again.
After she trained several people in the Hongtai call center, Jiang Meilan felt that it was a pity that Shen Yinping was still staying in Hongtai as a call center team leader.
So he called her to the clothing store and planned to train her to be the store manager.
Shen Yinping has excellent eloquence. These people were originally a little unhappy because they had waited for too long, but after being comforted by her, they immediately went in obediently to choose clothes.
The clothes in Angel's clothing store are even more beautiful than those in the promotional paper.
For a moment, no one cared about why the store opened so late, and everyone was busy choosing clothes for their children.
Of course, most of the time it is the children who make the choices, and adults can only serve as a reference.
Jiang Meishu was squeezed to the point where she had no place to stand, so she simply stood at the outside. She could do this kind of front-line sales, but she was not good at it.
Simply give the position to Shen Yinping.
This is Shen Yinping's absolute home court.
Sure enough, Shen Yinping never stopped talking on the first day of opening. She even had to squeeze in time to go to the bathroom. When eating, she held the food in her hands and introduced clothes to customers while eating.
Just on the first day, Shen Yinping sold clothes worth a few dollars each, and she alone sold them for 3,800 yuan.
This shocked Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan when they were calculating the accounts. "The turnover of this children's clothing store is higher than our stall."
During the day, we can only sell this amount during the Chinese New Year.
At other times, the sales were basically between 800 and 1,000 yuan, but this children's clothing store had just opened for business on the first day and its sales had reached 3,800 yuan.
Remember, this is just retail.
Angel Children's Wear will continue to go the wholesale route in the later period, as their model integrates wholesale and retail.
Jiang Meishu looked at the sales figures and was stunned. "So, can we open a branch within three months?"
Jiang Meilan, "I don't dare to think about it."
Jiang Meishu was right.
One Angel children's clothing store in Guangzhou is not enough. After its reputation spread, it is almost full every day.
This went on for a week, and Jiang Meishu felt that something was not right, so she immediately asked the decoration master to start arranging the Angel Children's Wear store inside Pengcheng Xiaodongmen.
Because she was one of them, she directly gave the shop that was originally reserved for the internal staff to Jiang Meilan.
It's also given to myself
Master Xiao is indeed a professional. He completed the renovation in one week and moved all the goods in one week.
In April, when spring comes and flowers bloom, Angel Clothing's branch opens.
Due to the previous advertising effect, Angel Clothing opened in Xiaodongmen and was still very popular.
Jiang Meishu only paid attention to it for a week before shifting her focus because Qiao Jiahui came to see her and said, "Sister-in-law, the wealthy family is about to fail."
Jiang Meishu suddenly perked up, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Jiahui's eyes lit up. "I heard that Li Chengdong can no longer hide the truth. The Li family is about to know the news."
Jiang Meishu was a little confused. "Didn't he keep it a secret? Why did he suddenly stop hiding it?"
Before, Qiao Jiahui had specially helped Li Chengdong to cover up the matter, just to prevent the Li family from getting the news first.
This gives us a year's buffer time.
Qiao Jiahui, "Because the loan he had from the bank was coming due, the outstanding balance in his name was about to explode."
"In order to hide the true situation of Fugui Garden from the Li family, he has been investing with loans. He also used part of the loans as income for Fugui Garden and transferred it to the Li family's bank account as money he earned for the Li family."
"But it's fake. His bank loan matured at the end of May. Meanwhile, he was going to transfer money to the Li family's account again in early June."
"But he hasn't sold a single house and is still investing in construction."
"It means he's completely wiped out, facing attacks from both sides. Just wait and see." Qiao Jiahui sneered, like a victor. "When his entire plan is exposed, he'll be forced to disclose the news to the Li family. That's when he'll truly face his demise."
Jiang Meishu didn't gloat over the misfortune. She calmly pondered, "If the Li family knew about this, would they reclaim the Fugui Garden and reinvest in its construction?"
Qiao Jiahui shook his head. "It's difficult. The Li family is very conceited. After their investment fails, they will have professional appraisers to evaluate the feasibility of this project."
"If the appraisers also feel that the project is no longer viable for investment, then they will abandon the project."
"And you have to know that Li Chengt spent tens of millions on the Dongguang land purchase. Later, in order to maintain the current false prosperity, he didn't have any income this year. Not only did he even take out a bank loan. We don't know the exact amount he borrowed."
"But what is certain is that this loan is definitely not small."
"It might even be the straw that breaks the camel's back."
Jiang Meishu paced around the office for a while, "Do you know when the Li family can come?"
Qiao Jiahui shook his head. "It's hard to say now. It depends on when the Li family arrives, and how long Li Chengdong can survive."
"Then let's add fuel to the fire." Jiang Meishu smiled. "Li Chengdong is borrowing money from the bank. The bank is not a philanthropist and will not give him a large loan for no reason. He must have used something as collateral."
"What will he pledge?"
Qiao Jiahui almost blurted out, "House."
"No, it's a wealthy home!"
"He mortgaged the entire land of Fugui Home." This was what Qiao Jiahui had thought of before, but now that he thought of it, he was a little terrified. "Is he crazy?"
"How dare he mortgage his foundation?"
"Given the current situation at Fugui Garden, it's impossible to sell the house. His mortgage is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. Does he want Fugui Garden to die faster?"
Jiang Meishu, "Maybe."
She curled her fingers and tapped the table. The rhythmic tapping sounded like a head-harvesting song.
When Jiang Meishu opened her eyes, she was cold and said, "Find out the details of Li Chengdong's bank loans and get his loan documents. Make a copy of the documents and disclose it to the Li family."
When Qiao Jiahui heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, "Sister-in-law, you want him to die."
All he had been thinking about was letting go and waiting.
But Jiang Meishu is not like that. She is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
"How could that be?"
Jiang Meishu smiled, a look of determination on her soft face. "Business is all about deception and betrayal. If you don't even understand this, what's the point of doing business?"
"Within three days."
Jiang Meishu gave the order directly, "Leak the news."
"Jiahui, you take the lead." She glanced at Secretary Xu, "Do you know anyone in the Li family? Do you know who Li Chengdong's mortal enemy is?"
Secretary Xu had a complicated expression on his face. He had seen tall buildings rise and fall, and now it was happening.
In response to Jiang Meishu's words, Secretary Xu naturally nodded and said yes.
After receiving the task, Secretary Xu did not rush to work, but went outside to smoke a cigarette.
Qiao Jiahui came over and handed over another one, "Didn't expect that?"
Secretary Xu nodded, "I didn't expect it." The smoke rings were straight, reddening his eyebrows and eyes. The smoke dissipated, revealing his true face.
"I didn't expect that I would be the one to deal the final blow to Li Chengdong."
Qiao Jiahui, "Are you unhappy?"
Secretary Xu shook his head and nodded, "I think both."
He threw away the cigarette and stomped it out under his feet. He smiled, "But I'm more excited."
excited.
He was the one who ended Li Chengdong's last level.
Of course, he was just the last knife.
But despite this, Secretary Xu was satisfied.
This is the biggest grievance that workers get satisfied after falling out with their bosses.
*
This is the third repayment letter Li Chengdong has received from the bank this month, and each one has a date written on it.
That was the date of his beheading.
This tremendous mental pressure made Li Chengdong almost want to escape, to destroy the world, to explode the earth.
But it's no use, these can't change the facts he is about to face.
Li Chengdong smashed everything in the office. His new secretary had already taken advantage of his temper and ran out.
I happened to meet Lu Shi who came to visit Li Chengdong.
Seeing the new secretary's flustered look, Lu Shi's eyes flashed with understanding, "Is Master Li losing his temper again?"
The new secretary nodded, lowered her brows and listened attentively, "Yes, I'm going to order some office supplies for Mr. Li."
This is the 103rd set he has ordered in the first year since he took office.
Fortunately, the boss is rich, otherwise, how could an ordinary small company withstand such losses?
Lu Shi's face turned cold, "No need to order, you can go down."
The new secretary didn’t understand. The office had been smashed and they couldn’t order office supplies. What should they do next?
He suddenly realized something and his face turned pale.
He has only been a secretary for a year, is he going to step down?
Inside the office.
Lu Shi pushed open the door, revealing a mess inside. The desk had fallen to the ground, the chair was upside down, and documents were thrown everywhere.
Even the decorative vase was broken into pieces.
It's not hard to imagine what happened here before.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Chengdong casually threw a cup at Lu Shi, who dodged it. He tilted his head and asked, "I want to see you. Are you still alive?"
When Li Chengdong heard this, his expression immediately turned cold. He sneered, "Are you here to laugh at me too?"
Lu Shi shook his head, picked up the repayment book on the ground, and looked at the date. "How much do I have to pay before the end of the month?"
The repayment notes are one by one, and each one represents a different repayment and a different repayment date.
Li Chengdong felt dejected upon hearing this. He leaned against the wall, his face haggard. "Before the end of May, there were three payments: five million, six million, and four million."
"That adds up to sixteen million."
"There was another payment in July, for 12 million."
"There's another 15 million at the end of the year."
When Lu Shi heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank. "You only spent 33 million to buy the land. How can you borrow so much?"
Li Chengdong was desperate. He lay on the ground and said, "Building a house requires money. The Li family asks me for money for the project every day."
"Those people are blood-sucking leeches. They don't care whether the house makes money or not, as long as they get paid into the bank every month."
"Part of the money went into the Li family's pockets as profit, part went into the construction project and workers' wages, and the rest was the interest I paid back."
"The bank interest rate I borrowed from is 10%. Ten million is equivalent to one million in interest. So even though I borrowed a lot, I didn't actually get much money."
"Those leeches! I wasn't even planning to pay them in the first place. But that bastard Li Si kept chasing me around asking for profit, and I had to give him the money."
He lay there, staring blankly at the ceiling. "If I don't give it to them, they'll know the matter of the wealthy family has been exposed."
During this year, he was the rising star of the Li family and transferred 17 million in profits to them.
This is even hotter than the Hong Kong property market.
nonsense?
The money from loans is of course very popular, and it is pie in the sky.
Li Chengdong's reputation also spread among the Li family. He made money and became the future heir of the Li family. He had personal abilities and could continue to bring income to the Li family.
He will be able to receive more investments and projects from the Li family.
Li Chengdong was in high spirits for a year, but in the end he found out that fake is fake and the borrowed money must be repaid.
Now these debt collection notices have become his death notices.
After listening to this, Lu Shi closed his eyes and said, "Li Chengdong, you are courting death. Do you know that?"
"I advised you a year ago not to take out a mortgage, but you insisted on taking out a mortgage."
"You haven't finished yet. If these debts are not paid, the wealthy family will be taken back."
"The nearly 50 million yuan you invested in the Li family will all go down the drain."
Li Chengdong lay on the ground without saying a word. "Yeah, it was skipping stones. What happened?"
"I did it?"
"What's wrong?"
Lu Shi took a deep breath and splashed a cup of water in his face. "Fugui Garden has been open for a year and has sold 32 houses. There are still about 2,800 houses vacant."
"When the house couldn't be sold, I told you that you couldn't get a loan, but you insisted on taking one. Now look what's going on. How are you going to end this?"
Li Chengdong was splashed with water in the face, but he seemed not to feel it.
"have no idea."
"Anyway, I don't have any money, but I have a life. I'm going to see if my life is worth this much money."
Lu Shi was furious. "What? You're capable of causing trouble, but not solving it?"
"I tell you, within three days, the Li family of Xiangjiang will know everything about the wealthy family in Pengcheng."
Li Chengdong suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce gleam in his eyes, "Tell me, did you say that?"
He pinched Lu Shi's neck and looked like he was going crazy.
Lu Shi was strangled and couldn't breathe. He pressed Li Chengdong against the door with his backhand, "Are you an idiot? Do I need to tell you?"
"Three days later, Li Si asked for money, but you didn't have any to give. Do I need to tell you? Can you still keep the situation of the wealthy family secret?"
Li Chengdong loosened his grip in vain. He stood there dejectedly, his shoulders hunched. "That will happen in three days."
"I can still be happy for three days." He put his arm around Lu Shi's shoulder, acting like a good brother. "Let's go. While there's still some money in the account, I'll take you to Paradise on Earth. There are some new pretty girls there who are really good at comforting people. Oh, and there seems to be a slot machine or something. You can win money with it."
He looked expectant, "Do you think I can win tens of millions using the slot machines?"
“Repay all these loans?”
Lu Shi stared at him, unable to utter a word.
At this moment, he understood one thing clearly: Li Chengdong was ruined.
He is completely ruined.
He didn't say anything, but Li Chengdong started to lose his temper. "Are you looking down on me? Are you making fun of me? Do you think I'm no good at business? What? I just play a slot machine, and you think I'm no good, right?"
"Lu Shi, I'm telling you, I'm going to play right now, I'm going to win money right now, just look at how I win the money to replace these loans!"
Lu Shi couldn't stand it any longer and suddenly yelled, "Li Chengdong, what kind of slot machine do you think can help you make up for the deficit of more than 50 million?"
"you tell me?"
He grabbed Li Chengdong's shoulders and shook him violently. "Tell me, what kind of slot machine is acceptable?"
"That kind of coin-spitting machine, even if you let it spit out 50 million for its entire life, it still wouldn't be able to spit out 50 million."
Li Chengdong seemed to be shaken awake, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Tell me, what should I do? How can I fill such a huge gap?"
Lu Shi didn't know, he just said disappointedly, "Li Chengdong, confess."
"Confess to the Li family. The sooner the better."
If I had confessed earlier, perhaps this would not have happened.
Li Chengdong stiffened his neck and said, "I won't!"
The situation remained deadlocked until the telephone on the ground suddenly rang.
Li Chengdong didn't move, so Lu Shi went to answer the phone. After he finished the call, his face froze, "Li Chengdong, it's for you."
Li Chengdong answered the phone. He was a little angry and said fiercely, "Hello? Who is it?"
He has a very bad temper.
There was a pause on the other end of the line, and then a powerful voice rang out, "Li Chengdong, what exactly is the situation at Fugui Homeland?"
"Don't hide it from me anymore, tell me!"
"If you keep it from me, I'll shoot you dead!"
