403 Business Is Like a Battlefield
Ever since the day they found out that they had been schemed against, the two employees hadn’t slept well with the threat of the compensation of 60,000 yuan looming over them!
They didn’t dare to imagine the consequences. If they couldn’t hand over the goods, how would the factory compensate this sum of money? If they closed down because they couldn’t afford the compensation, did that mean that the entire village would have to bear a heavy debt because of their mistake?
With this heavy burden, the two of them felt that they were the sinners of the entire village. In just a few days, they had lost a few pounds.
A few days after the incident, it was announced that the factory had received enough flour to continue producing. Only then did the two of them perk up again.
The business world was like a battlefield. Yu Bing had already experienced it in her previous life. Now that she had the chance, she could teach the employees about this.
“Don’t ever hope that your opponent has a conscience when doing business. The same rice nurtures a hundred different people. However, no matter what others do, we have to remember at all times that we have to be wary of others!”
“This is a lesson for us. Our food factory is still new, but if we want to go far, these things will definitely be unavoidable in the future. Therefore, you guys have to adjust your mentality and be vigilant.”
Feng Cai and the two employees nodded. People were easily blinded by huge benefits. They had discussed it together after the incident. They were too greedy at that time.
For the so-called huge order, they had neglected many fishy details. In fact, when they recalled it again, they discovered many loopholes. At that time, if they had calmed down and thought for a few more minutes, they might have been able to avoid this trap.
In fact, many schemes that had high profits as bait were like this. They were clearly full of loopholes, but people believed them without a doubt.
However, everyone had learned their lesson.
At the end of the meeting, after Yu Bing instructed Feng Cai to go to work tomorrow, she immediately contacted him to set a time for the delivery that day.
As long as the goods were still in their hands, it meant that the risk hadn’t been diverted. In any case, the sooner the goods were delivered, the better.
After work the next day, Feng Cai called the other party to set a time. He didn’t want to have this hot potato for even a moment longer.
After Feng Cai hung up, he said to Yu Bing, “Yu Bing, the steel factory said 3 PM.”
Yu Bing was silent for a moment before arranging, “Load the car at two in the afternoon and set off at two-thirty sharp.”
Zhao Cheng was stunned. He didn’t expect this food factory to really produce all the egg yolk pastries. Most importantly, he had told the finance department that this was just a ruse and the other party would return the deposit later. How was he going to explain this to them now?!
Although he was the person-in-charge of the procurement department, the procurement department needed to submit an application at the meeting and be approved before placing an order. In order to help his father-in-law, he skipped this segment and privately found the finance department to place an order on the grounds that he was helping his relatives in the food factory.
Therefore, although the delivery was in the afternoon, Zhao Cheng knew that he couldn’t accept this batch of goods. Otherwise, not only would he be unable to explain himself to the finance department, but he would also lose his position as the head of the procurement department!
At the steel factory.
Three people arrived at the steel factory 10 minutes early.
Feng Cai walked to the office of the union’s procurement department with familiarity and knocked on the door. “Hello, Mr. Zhao. We’re from Delicious Food Factory and we’re here to send the shopping gift order.”
Zhao Cheng stood up calmly and shook hands with him with a smile. “Long time no see, Little Feng! You guys are very fast. You even delivered the goods in advance.”
Feng Cai also smiled and pretended not to know that he had been schemed against. He went forward and shook hands before turning around to introduce Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng.
Zhao Cheng had naturally asked about Yu Bing in advance when he set up this trap. He had only heard that she was a female intellectual and thought that she was a tough middle-aged woman. He didn’t expect her to look so petite and dainty, as if she had just come of age. He was slightly surprised, but he still greeted the two of them warmly with a smile on his face.
Zhao Cheng instructed a female employee in the office, “Please sit down. It’s rare for you to come to our office, so have some tea first. Xiao Li, help pour a cup of tea.”
Seeing this, Yu Bing also replied politely, “Mr. Zhao, you’re too polite. You’re our biggest customer now, so I should be the one to treat you to tea instead. Our goods are downstairs, so why don’t we let them unload the goods first?”
