"Duan Kunze." Jiang Shiyue's expression returned to its usual calmness, and his tone was distant, as if he were a stranger. "To do business, you must first learn to be a human being."
Duan Kunze's eyelashes trembled, but he didn't say anything.
"I believe a qualified businessman should at least have basic integrity and seek a win-win situation."
"Do you think I'm just a nerd and I don't know you're cheating me without the financial statements?"
"Your industry should have a gross profit margin of about 40%. That means a turnover of 100,000 yuan would yield a gross profit of 40,000 yuan. After deducting 10% of the operating costs of 10,000 yuan, that leaves about 30,000 yuan. According to what you said, Dongsheng and the local government will each split the profits half, so you should make at least 15,000 yuan."
"You bullied me because I was studying in a foreign land. I can't do anything to you, the powerful Prince of Dongsheng. But God sees what we do, and you will be punished. Even if God doesn't punish you, I will make you regret it!"
For the first time, Jiang Shiyue felt incredibly grateful that she had worked in the investment industry in her previous life. Before investing, she not only reviewed the due diligence reports submitted by the team, but also frequently visited and inspected the companies. While she wasn't an expert in many industries, she did have a basic understanding.
This includes the retail industry.
But, there are some things that we can’t do anything about even if we know about them.
For example, there is no legal profession now, and many laws and regulations are not yet perfect. Even if Jiang Shiyue has a contract signed by Duan Kunze, she is not sure of winning the lawsuit against him.
Duan Kunze avoided Jiang Shiyue's gaze and played dumb. "You're talking about pre-tax profit. Of course, even if we calculate it according to your statement, if Dongsheng makes a profit of 15,000, I'll give you 1,500." He pointed at the large unity tied with thin paper strips in front of Jiang Shiyue, "Giving you 10,000 is not too much, right? I'll be sad if you say that."
Even though Jiang Shiyue had adjusted her mentality, she couldn't help but laugh at Duan Kunze's almost shameless words.
"Duan Kunze, the figures in the newspaper are for daily sales, right? Giving me 1,500 a day means 15,000 in ten days. Also, as far as I know, Dongsheng's sales have been rising steadily since its opening, meaning they've been exceeding 100,000 since the second day. Your 10,000..." Jiang Shiyue ran her thumb over the edge of the large unity on the table, "isn't nearly enough."
Duan Kunze didn't know whether he hadn't expected Jiang Shiyue to be so knowledgeable or if he really had something to hide. He was silent for a long time before speaking with a bitter face, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Yes, the financial statements are indeed quite impressive at first glance. However, we just launched the "Three Guarantees" service, and the cost is higher than that of ordinary department stores. It's really not as profitable as you think.
Besides, I admit that there is a personal reason that is a little difficult to talk about. I didn't tell them about your existence in order to have a say in our family. So..."
Duan Kunze still couldn't finish the rest of the sentence. He smiled apologetically at Jiang Shiyue and said, "I'm sorry."
"So you not only stole my credit, but also took the money I deserved." Jiang Shiyue picked up the ten thousand yuan on the table after Duan Kunze finished speaking, "Duan Kunze, this ten thousand is just interest. You will come to me for help soon."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
It's a waste of time to talk to a villain who is determined to destroy your bridges after crossing them.
Duan Kunze frowned and stood up, asking, "What do you mean? Are you going to help Yong'an?"
Jiang Shiyue turned around and smiled at him: "I don't think I need to report my whereabouts to you. You dare to slander me like this just because I'm not on the Dongsheng employee list. Haven't you ever considered that I might go to Yong'an?"
"You should know me from the time we've been together. I really do have a secret."
Jiang Shiyue didn't even bother to glance at Duan Kunze, and turned away.
Duan Kunze knew Jiang Shiyue was a vengeful person. The Yong'an undercover agent had only framed her, and yet she had helped Dongsheng. Now that he had offended her, he wasn't afraid if she actually went to Yong'an, but just in case, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you another ten thousand."
Jiang Shiyue shook her head. "We agreed that I want one-tenth of Dongsheng's profit for a quarter, based on the financial statements. Of course, I'm referring to the actual financial statements. Otherwise, when you come to ask me for help again, it won't be this amount."
She left after she finished speaking, and never looked back no matter how Duan Kunze called out to her.
Jiang Shiyue came out of Dongsheng's gate with a very bad look on his face.
What is this? A honey trap or a scam?
She pinched her waist, gritted her teeth, and turned around twice. She squinted her eyes and saw Yong'an across from her. She turned back to look at Dongsheng and strode towards Yong'an, muttering to herself, "Duan Kunze, you were unkind first, so don't blame me for being unjust!"
***
When Jiang Shiyue returned to the rental house, she saw Chen Shanhe waiting downstairs.
A smile instantly appeared on his face, and his steps became lighter.
"Why did you run away from the hospital?" Jiang Shiyue circled around Chen Shanhe, "Did the doctor allow you to be discharged?"
Military hospitals are different from local hospitals in that they also follow rules and regulations. You can't just come and go as you please.
Chen Shanhe opened his arm and hugged Jiang Shiyue. Instead of answering, he asked, "Where have you been? Did something unhappy happen?"
From a distance I could see her with a tense face.
Jiang Shiyue buried her head in Chen Shanhe's arms, her voice a little muffled, "Well, your bad luck came true."
Chen Shanhe: “…”
What's that phrase she always says?
You can sit at home and something bad may happen to you.
Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to argue with Jiang Shiyue, so he asked softly, "What did I say? Did someone bully you?"
Jiang Shiyue nodded and shook her head. "Last time you told me to be careful with Duan Kunze and to keep some things in reserve. Did you guess what would happen?"
Chen Shanhe reacted quickly. With his plastered hand, he struggled to touch the long hair draped over Jiang Shiyue's back. "Did he cheat you?"
Jiang Shiyue nodded, "He crossed the river to demolish the house and cheated me out of money."
Without saying a word, Chen Shanhe pulled Jiang Shiyue back and said, "Come on, I'll get it back for you!"
It feels so good to be pampered unconditionally!
Jiang Shiyue was very pleased and her mood improved immediately, but she stood there and refused to move. "No need. I'll wait for him to come back and beg me. I listened to what you said, and I'm keeping a backup plan!"
Can she just steal her money if she wants?!
only……
She thought that she and Duan Kunze were more or less friends.
Unexpectedly, while he was still useful, Duan Kunze stabbed him.
Besides being angry, I'm also a little sad.
Chen Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief, changed direction and walked with his arms around her, "That's good. Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."
On the way, Jiang Shiyue told Chen Shanhe about the news about Dongsheng that she saw in the newspaper and Duan Kunze's cheating.
"Capitalists don't have much conscience, and you're a female college student from outside the city, with no one to rely on in Huacheng. That's why Duan Kunze dares to bully you like this." Chen Shanhe and Jiang Shiyue interlocked their fingers and patted her hand soothingly.
