Chapter 268: Poor Sun Tao
Li Dong's sentence "Money is not a problem" is extremely bright and generous.
But not long after the words fell, someone turned around and slapped her in the face.
Liu Hongmei, the chief financial officer, didn't come to Li Dong's office many times, but every time he came, it was not a good thing, either overspending or short of money.
It was the same this time, as soon as Liu Hongmei came, Li Dong was mentally prepared.
But when Liu Hongmei finished speaking, Li Dong was still a little stunned.
After a while, Li Dong said with a strange expression: "Why don't I know about this?"
Liu Hongmei looked up at him, and said with a blank expression: "You haven't asked about this matter, so naturally we can't bring it up with you."
Li Dong coughed dryly, and said again: "Then Mr. Sun didn't say anything himself?"
"It's probably embarrassing to say, after all, Yuanfang is short of money now." Liu Hongmei adjusted her glasses, and added: "Besides, without your signature, the money can't be distributed."
Li Dong thought about it for a while, as if he had never heard of it.
Thinking of this, Li Dong's expression became even weirder, and he asked, "Is this what you asked, or did President Sun ask you to ask?"
"Myself, Mr. Sun usually doesn't ask about finances. And this matter involves himself, so he won't mention it. Mr. Li, the reason I'm looking for you is also for financial justice. Don't think too much about it."
"I didn't think much of it."
Li Dong was speechless, shook his head and said: "You know, I don't care much about these things, you should have told me earlier."
Liu Hongmei chuckled lightly and didn't reply, what should she say about this matter?
If it wasn't for the Chinese New Year, the company would be on holiday soon, and Li Dong didn't mention it, so she wouldn't get involved.
The thing is actually very simple.
Sun Tao, the newly promoted billionaire last night, a distant shareholder, is so poor that he is about to lose his trousers recently.
At the beginning, he and Li Dong made an agreement that the general manager would not get a salary, but only get an annual dividend.
Although Yuanfang made a lot of money last year, it had to invest in new stores at that time, and when it was settled at the end of the year, it had negative equity on its books and no revenue.
So last year,
Sun Tao has almost zero income.
The only dividend was in the first month of the Dongping store’s opening. In that month, Sun Tao distributed 86,000, which was also the only time he got money.
Waiting for the second year, that is, 2005 in the Gregorian calendar, Yuanfang spends all year round.
As of the end of December, Yuanfang's profit was about 180 million yuan, but the expenses were more than three times, and it was naturally negative equity on the books.
Li Dong didn't care much about these things, he sent money directly from the company when he was short of money, and didn't think much about Sun Tao.
In his opinion, Sun Tao should not be short of money.
If calculated, there are not a few dividends for this year. Even if the company has investment, it should not be a problem for Sun Tao to spend tens of millions.
But Li Dong neglected one thing, without his consent, who would dare to pay the company.
Sun Tao has no fixed salary, only dividends, but the dividends are usually one cent a year. Last year, I didn't talk about it. This year is the end of the year, and Li Dong hasn't said anything. Who dares to mention this matter.
Sun Tao wanted to mention it, but Lao Sun was ashamed and didn't have the nerve to tell Li Dong.
He doesn't even say it himself, and since he's still the general manager, it's even harder for others to say it.
All in all, from the establishment of Yuanfang to the present, Mr. Sun, who is a billionaire, has a total income of 86,000 yuan.
And Sun Tao also said before that he owed a friend 800,000 yuan, Pingchuan's house was mortgaged, and he owed a sum of money to the bank.
86,000, not even enough to pay back the bank, let alone pay back friends.
In addition, there is still food and drink in Pingchuan. Although the company reimburses Sun Tao for part of it every month, Sun Tao, as the boss, spends a lot of private expenses in order to maintain a bright appearance.
Just a few sets of suits cost tens of thousands, and by now, my pockets have long been empty.
That's why Li Dong felt weird when he heard Liu Hongmei say these things. The dignified general manager's life is not as good as that of a store manager, and his life is too miserable.
But Li Dong can't really be blamed for this matter, after all, he has no such experience.
Of course, Li Dong didn't think about it from the beginning to the end. Who told Sun Tao not to tell him, there are so many things going on in the company, it's only a ghost that he can remember.
Shaking his head, Li Dong smiled and said: "How about this, you will call Mr. Sun two million in the future, and pay back the debt at least. He is the boss who still owes the money and doesn't pay it back. How shameful it is to spread it. How can I be harsh on him?"
Liu Hongmei laughed and said, "I'm also to blame for this, I haven't mentioned it to you before."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, and pay Mr. Sun another salary in the future. Every month... 50,000 yuan per month, it should be enough."
Fifty thousand a month is not too little, but it is not too much for the general manager.
But Sun Tao has shares, this money is extra, and should be enough.
Why didn't Li Dong pay him a salary before? At that time, he didn't know Sun Tao well. Who knows how capable he is.
If he doesn't do well and loses money, then Sun Tao won't even try to get a dime, which is normal.
Now there is no need for it, even the shares are given, and there is still a little salary.
Liu Hongmei responded, and Li Dong waved his hands and said, "Go ahead and call Mr. Sun over..."
"Forget it, let me go to his office."
Li Dong changed his mind halfway through his speech, got up and walked to Sun Tao's office.
...
As soon as Sun Tao was sent to report to the HR director, Li Dong entered the door.
Li Dong entered the door without saying a word, walked around the office, then looked Sun Tao up and down, and then said with a smile: "Brother Sun, I have finished the equity transfer document, you can sign it later, and then go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau Register over there, don't forget."
Sun Tao nodded, it was agreed last night.
What should be said was said yesterday, and there is no need to be polite today.
After talking about it, Li Dong said curiously: "Brother Sun, I want to ask you something."
"you say."
"I said you have been single for so long, is it because you have no money in your pocket?"
Sun Tao's face turned bitter, and he knew what Li Dong meant, and said awkwardly: "It's okay, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking. My friend also knows that I'm short on money recently, so I'm not in a hurry. But if you don't tell me this time, I would have planned to Let me tell you, people are poor and short-sighted, and I will lose face if I don’t pay back the money.”
"You can't blame me. You are the one who wants to save face and suffer." Li Dong joked, and then said: "I will let Director Hongmei handle the money. I will give you two million first, and then I will talk about it if it is not enough. .”
"You also know that the company has spent a lot this year, so the dividends must not be fully paid..."
Before Li Dong finished speaking, Sun Tao hurriedly said: "I know the company's accounts. It's more than two million, and one million is actually almost enough. To be honest, the company has been established until now, and you haven't even spent money on it." I don't have the face to ask for a few dollars."
This is why Sun Tao has always been embarrassed to withdraw money.
Li Dong, the boss, besides doing business, has spent no more than two million yuan in the past year.
The car is for official business, so the money can't be counted as Li Dong's spending. He didn't really spend it much, so he bought a house in Pingchuan.
In addition, Wang Jia spent some money last time, and gave Qin Yuhan some money, and then Li Dong almost didn't spend any money.
As for the establishment of scholarships and donations, although Li Dong's selfishness is involved in these, they should be considered as company expenses, not Li Dong's head.
Even the big boss is so economical, of course Sun Tao is more economical.
What's more, the non-payment of dividends is also for investment. Money makes money, and Sun Tao doesn't blame Li Dong.
If it weren't for the fact that he was really nervous, Sun Tao wouldn't bother to mention this matter.
Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and didn't say any more. After finishing his business, Li Dong looked at his phone and said, "It's almost time. I have to pick up Yuhan when she comes back later. You come to my office. Let's Finish the agreement in the morning."
Sun Tao nodded, tidied himself up and said, "Yuhan is coming back at this time?"
He was very familiar with Yang Yun, so he naturally knew about Qin Yuhan.
Li Dong shook his head and said, "Isn't it because she couldn't stay idle and set up a dessert shop in the capital, which has been delayed until now?"
Sun Tao laughed and said: "Both of you can't be idle, so forget it. Isn't Yuhan in school? Opening a shop delays her studies. I think it's better to persuade her to earn money anytime."
"Who said it wasn't?"
Li Dong sighed, but it's useless to persuade him, it's better to let Qin Yuhan hit the wall and turn around.
That girl has a stubborn temper. Although she looks like a lady now, she is actually a temperament that does not bump into the south wall and does not look back.
Hearing Li Dong's tone, Sun Tao didn't try to persuade him any more.
After a busy morning, Li Dong and Sun Tao went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to make some changes, and then drove to the airport.
...
As the end of the year approaches, the usually deserted airport is also busy.
Li Dong waited for more than twenty minutes before Qin Yuhan walked over from a distance with a smile on his face.
Li Dong stepped forward to give him a hug, took the suitcase, and then asked, "What did you bring? It's so heavy?"
"Some specialties in the capital, I will share half of them later, and you can take them back and give them to your uncles and aunts to taste."
Qin Yuhan asked while walking, "When are you going back to Dongping?"
Today is already the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month. This year, the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month will be the New Year's Eve, and there are still five days left.
Li Dong thought for a while and said, "Let's go back in two days, twenty-six seven."
After finishing speaking, Li Dong asked: "Didn't you say yesterday that you would go to Dongping with me? Did you forget?"
Qin Yuhan blushed slightly, and shyly said: "Forget it, you didn't tell your uncle and aunt about this, I won't go this year, and next time I have time, I will go to see my uncle and aunt."
She also said this on impulse yesterday.
Thinking about it now, Qin Yuhan felt a little regretful.
She has no name and no role now, what is going on with Li Dong going to Dongping.
What's more, she is still in school this year and hasn't graduated from her sophomore year. If she goes to the Li family so early, she might be looked down upon by the Li family.
Li Dong smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? It's not that my parents don't know you. Last time they said they would take you back sometime to have a look. I think this year is just right."
While talking, Li Dong opened the trunk and stuffed the luggage in.
After getting into the car, Qin Yuhan said, "Let me think about it again, and I'll tell you later."
Li Dong didn't persuade him any more, and drove to Qin's house.
