1021 Countdown to Bankruptcy [Another Chapter: The Mountain Ghost Teases and Laughs - Title Update - 9/?]
The male host and the female host drove two cars and found a second-hand car dealership close to the city center. The male host had previously traded with the owner of the car dealership here.
As soon as the two cars stopped, the owner of the car dealership knew that business was coming. He walked out of the room wearing a cowboy hat and called out the correct name of the male owner.
While looking at the two cars, he asked, "Long time no see. Do you plan to buy anything this time?"
He actually knew that the two men were here to sell cars, but he still "mistakenly" said "buy something."
He has been in this business for many years and knows how to say the right words to compliment different people, and he even introduced a convertible car suitable for young people to drive!
"For only thirteen thousand five hundred dollars, you can take it home, and both boys and girls will love this!"
He stood next to a dark blue convertible, stroking the refurbished paint and feeling quite proud, "I am the only one in the whole city who has such a high-end supply!"
Convertibles are indeed rare. They haven't been around for a long time, and they are mainly sold to people who have indoor garages and don't own just one car.
After all, it would be difficult to drive a car like this on a rainy day, and no one would think that taking to the streets in a four-wheeled bathtub is fun.
If this happened yesterday, the male owner would be interested in the car. Judy would sometimes drive her mother's car and sometimes ride a bicycle.
Her classmates and current colleagues often come to pick her up and drop her off, so she hasn't bought a car yet.
It's really beautiful, but now, they can't afford it.
"No, you misunderstood, we are here to sell cars." The male host forced out some ugly smiles. This was indeed a misunderstanding, but this misunderstanding made him feel slightly better.
In the eyes of these people, he is still a rich man, and his personality and self-esteem have been satisfied.
In fact, he didn't know that the owner of the second-hand car dealership in front of him was the real rich man, richer than him.
But...smart people are like this. They will not let those who buy and sell second-hand cars realize how profitable he is as a car dealership owner. He will not wear a gold necklace with thick gems on his fingers, let alone wear a few A set of clothes costing a thousand dollars.
This will make people selling cars think that the price they are driving is too low, and it will also make people buying cars think that the price offered by the car dealer is too high.
Just this look, which looks a bit slovenly, is more suitable for his current job.
The owner of the car dealership looked like he was in a daze because he said the wrong thing. He was stunned for a moment, his hands snapped together and clasped together, "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, so what are you going to do..."
He looked at the two cars and asked, "Which car should I deal with?"
In fact, he knew early on that what else could he do besides selling cars by driving two cars?
Looking at his wife's somewhat reluctant eyes, the man patted his car and said, "I want to sell my car. How much is it worth?"
…
The car was very quiet on the way back. While waiting for a traffic light, the hostess who was driving suddenly spoke, "Thank you..."
The male host smiled and said, "Nothing, no need to say thank you. My car is more expensive, so we can get more money."
He touched his pocket and found a thin wad of banknotes in exchange for his car. The price was much lower than he expected.
The new car he bought cost nearly 35,000 yuan, but now he sold it for only 6,500 yuan.
He also knew that his car only needed simple renovations to sell for at least more than 10,000 yuan, but he couldn't do it himself.
In the evening, Judy came back from outside. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the maid who had worked in this family for a long time left with her luggage and crying.
She was a little confused and walked into the living room. Her parents were waiting for her in the dining room.
"I haven't cooked for a long time, how about trying my skills?" She took off her apron and sat at the table looking at Judy expectantly.
Judy looked at her father and then her mother in confusion, and sat down slowly, "What's wrong with the maid?"
The male host said casually, "Something happened at home and she needs to leave us for a while. Your mother and I think there is no need to replace her for the time being. She will come back after a while."
Judy also nodded, "That's true. She is very reliable and her hands and feet are clean. Then let me try my mother's craftsmanship. I miss her very much!"
It was a very cozy dinner. Apart from Judy, only the couple knew what happened.
They decided to fire the maid to save money. Even if the price of a maid is cheap, it still costs more than 300 yuan a month.
In the past, this money was like the 1/4 quarter of a quarter coin in the pocket of ordinary people, but now, it has increased in value.
The next day, there was still no ship that could deliver the goods. The man was completely desperate. He had already explained the situation to the other side and was willing to actively compensate according to the terms of the breach of contract.
He tried to use a good attitude to gain the other party's understanding so as not to hold the company responsible. In this way, he only had to pay a liquidated damages.
The hostess was also kicked out by the board of directors. She caused the company to lose a large order and became a joke in the industry. Several orders were temporarily shelved because she might be suspected of falsifying evaluations.
The board of directors told the hostess that if the investigation results prove that she colluded with the appraisal company and tampered with the appraisal results, then the company will hold her accountable for various responsibilities and claim compensation.
Before that, she had to pack her things and get out.
He is said to be a senior partner, but in the final analysis, he is a senior tool person.
Maybe their income is indeed high, but the risks are also high.
Judy, who had been busy outside all day, came back a little earlier than usual. During dinner, she asked her father where the car had gone.
The male host smiled and said that someone had borrowed it. Judy did not continue questioning and went back to the room after eating. She still wanted to think about what kind of power she could use for herself.
A few days later, the goods were successfully loaded onto the ship. Watching them get on the ship, the man squatted in the toilet at the port and cried bitterly.
After he returned to the company to explain the situation, paid liquidated damages and signed a letter of understanding with the contact person sent by the other party, the company fired him.
There was no room for him to be fired simply and directly.
You don’t even need to pay him a penny more in severance pay!
At night, the couple lay in bed, both insomniac, and did not fall asleep until very late.
But at eight o'clock the next morning, they were awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
Judy opened the door, and outside were five well-dressed people. You could tell at a glance what industry they were engaged in.
Someone was carrying a brown calfskin suitcase, and someone was holding a briefcase. Judy was a little overwhelmed and stood by the door.
The first person outside the door handed over his business card, "I am from the legal department of Jinhui Bank..., this is my business card." He introduced himself.
He then introduced his colleagues and then asked if the girl's parents were home.
At this time, the host and hostess had also changed their clothes, and they were particularly haggard. Judy couldn't believe that they had become so... old, just overnight.
"What's wrong?" The male protagonist, who was always positive, optimistic, energetic, and loved to talk about adventures, now looked like a frightened deer.
He is cautious, fearful, and powerless.
You could tell from his voice that he seemed to be scared and trembling.
"We have noticed that you and your wife have just been dismissed from their positions, and the appraisal department has re-assessed your family. We believe that you do not have the ability to pay subsequent loans and return credit loans."
"So we are now negotiating multiple loans..."
Judy's eyes widened and she looked at her parents in disbelief, but the male host just smiled bitterly and ushered the people in, not forgetting to show his kindness.
"I'm so sorry for asking you to make a trip. You can give me the phone number and I can go to the bank..."
The five people just kept smiling. They were used to seeing similar situations, and their hearts were already harder than alloy.
The hostess asked Judy to go to work or go outside for a walk, or go back to the room, but Judy lost her temper.
She did not do so, but stood in the living room.
People at the bank would not just...become soft-hearted just because she has blond hair, is pretty, and has a good figure.
They just get harder.
"I noticed that your savings have fallen below the warning line, and we also know that you have lost your job. If you cannot generate a new job within fifteen days, and the monthly income exceeds 3,500 yuan..."
The lawyer took out a document from the suitcase and handed it over, "Then according to the agreement you signed with the bank, we have the right to freeze all your assets before you may face huge losses."
"Including, but not limited to, real estate, cars, jewelry, antiques, art, etc., including furniture here, everything is included."
"We are here today to count these things and register them. Each of you can choose to keep two sets of underwear, two sets of seasonal clothes, and two sets of winter clothes."
"We won't record these, other than that, everything else will be recorded and put on the card..."
He took out another small tag with a number and a buckle on it.
After showing it for a while, he handed it to the people around him, "So are the three of you clear?"
"If you need to, you can find your lawyer to talk to me now, or you can reject these, but we will immediately apply to the court for some countermeasures."
"So can I get my colleagues started?"
The male host lowered his head and looked at the documents very attentively. The lawyer did not rush him.
When he slowly finished reading the last page, he nodded in silence.
Then the three staff members began to work quickly. They put buckles on everything they could see, wrote numbers on them, and recorded them in their notebooks...
Judy couldn't help but ask, "What if we took some of these things..."
Before she could finish speaking, the lawyer smiled and said, "Then we will charge you with theft, madam. You must not want us to do that, right?"
