Chapter 30 Toy Factory Acquired "Four Thousand Characters"
the next day
Dafeng Toys Factory
Chen Yi, accompanied by a Hang Seng Bank manager Chen yesterday, met the haggard-looking Boss Ma of Dafeng Toy Factory.
After visiting the Dafeng Toy Factory in person, and having a general understanding of the actual situation of the toy factory, Chen Yi went to his office to make tea under the greeting of the energetic Boss Ma.
The office area is small, through the glass, you can see the working conditions of the employees outside at a glance, and the standard manufacturing factory layout.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
"There is no problem in the operation of my factory, the raw materials are complete, and the workers only stop working for a few days, and they can be called back to work at any time..."
Although Chen Yi looked very young, Ma Qingrong did not neglect at all. People from Hang Seng Bank came together, so he had no reason to doubt him.
Now he is almost at the end of his rope. The news of Dafeng Toy Factory’s move has been released for almost half a month. During this period, no one came to ask. During this time, he asked people to borrow money one by one, trying to tide over this difficulty.
However, the people he knows are all the same now. Some people have either lost their fortunes or have been trapped by the stock market.
Qian didn’t see it, but he saw a lot of tragedies instead.
In the past few days, more and more people in Xiangjiang committed suicide by jumping off the building. The newspapers reported every day. Looking at the people I knew before, everyone is in the same situation as him now, or they are already preparing for their funeral, and some even disappeared.
To be honest, Ma Qingrong was scared. The longer the delay, the more scared he became. He was afraid that he would not be able to bear the pressure and would follow in the footsteps of those people.
Although I feel so regretful that I want to die, I wish I could get it over with, but if I can live, no one wants to really die.
It is better to live than to die, even if it is to live on.
But the factory couldn’t be sold, and no one wanted it. When the loan period expired and the money couldn’t be repaid, the bank would take the factory away, and the workers asked him for money. There were more than 100 workers, with an average monthly salary of five or six hundred. Even half a month is more than 30,000 yuan.
He invested all his money in the stock market before, but now he has no money to pay his wages. He has no money, and the bank is unwilling to lend, and his house was mortgaged to buy stocks...
Yesterday he received a call from Manager Chen of Hang Seng Bank, and he was so excited that he didn't fall asleep. Now he has already regarded Chen Yi as a life-saving straw. He is afraid that if Chen Yi is not interested in his factory, his last hope will be lost.
Chen Yi took a sip of tea, and said in a cold tone: "Boss Ma, I heard from Manager Chen that Dafeng Toy Factory still owes a loan from the bank, and the workers also have half a month's wages that need to be paid at the end of the month. I don't know about your factory. How much does Boss Ma offer?"
When Ma Qingrong heard this, his face suddenly changed.
He didn't expect Chen Yi to understand so clearly, he didn't know how to speak for a while, and swallowed the number he had thought up before.
After a long while, Ma Qingrong took a deep breath, retreated and said: "Mr. Chen, since you already understand it so clearly, why don't you make a price."
Chen Yi shook his head and said, "To tell the truth, Boss Ma, before I came here, I had taken a look at a few toy factories at Hang Seng Bank, and they are in the same situation as Boss Ma, because of the recent stock market incidents, there have been difficulties in cash flow. "
"The boy is new here and doesn't have much experience in business, but he also knows the truth of shopping around."
"So, I hope that Boss Ma will give you a real price. When the time comes, I will choose whichever one is more sincere."
Ma Qingrong: "..."
"I'm new here, I have no experience, so I shop around."
At this moment, Ma Qingrong felt like beeping a dog, and felt uncomfortable. The old blood had accumulated in his chest for several days, and he couldn't vomit.
However, Ma Qingrong held back.
'What a ruthless young man', this is Ma Qingrong's evaluation of Chen Yi.
Shop around, this simple truth is not only understood by Chen Yi, he, Ma Qingrong, who has been in business for half his life, also understands this truth.
Understand it, but in this way, he is completely in a passive situation, life and death are all in the opponent's hands.
"Boss Ma, there are many people going bankrupt and jumping from buildings in Xiangjiang every day. If you are willing to sell your toy factory to me, I can help you bear the loan owed by the bank, and I will also pay the wages of the workers."
"After this, Boss Ma, figure out how much compensation you need."
Boss Ma was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Are you sure?"
Chen Yi nodded, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Ma Qingrong struggled for a long time before looking at Chen Yi and saying, "50,000, as long as Mr. Chen takes out 50,000, Dafeng Toy Factory will be yours."
When Chen Yi heard the quotation, displeasure appeared on his face, "Boss Ma, do you really think I'm young and easy to fool?"
"Since this is the case, excuse me for disturbing the boy, please invite someone else!" As soon as Chen Yi put the teacup away, he got up and was about to leave without any hesitation.
"Wait" Seeing that Chen Yi was about to leave, Ma Qingrong became impatient, and quickly got up and grabbed Chen Yi's arm, "Mr. Chen, forty thousand, forty thousand, what do you think?"
Chen Yi's face became more angry, and he said coldly: "Boss Ma, there is no righteousness in buying and selling. Are you planning to buy and sell by force?"
Ma Qingrong, who regarded Chen Yi as a life-saving straw, would not let him go. He held onto his hands tightly and said with a wry smile: "Misunderstanding, Mr. Chen sit down first, let's talk slowly, how much Mr. Chen thinks is suitable, what do you say?" number."
"Boss Ma, you should know that if your factory cannot be sold, at the end of the month, not only will the factory be taken over by the bank, but you will also be responsible for the wages of more than a hundred workers."
"Boss Ma, think about it for yourself. Once you can't pay your wages and more than a hundred workers go to your house, I don't need to say more about what will happen then."
Hearing this, Ma Qingrong's face turned blue and white, gritted his teeth and said, "30,000, Mr. Chen, 30,000 can't be less."
Chen Yi frowned, and said lightly: "20,000, if Boss Ma agrees, you can invite Manager Chen to come in now, and we will sign the contract right away, so that the boy can save some time and not waste time going door to door."
Ma Qingrong's eyes were red, wishing he could eat the little boy in front of him, he roared: "Mr. Chen, 30,000 is already my bottom line, there can be no less."
Chen Yi was not frightened by it, and still said with a blank expression: "Since this is the case, please let me go, Boss Ma, so I can go to a few other houses and have a look. If it doesn't work, I will come to Boss Ma again."
After speaking, Ma Qingrong let go of Chen Yi's arm, and sat down on the sofa, as if his whole body was exhausted.
Seeing this, Chen Yi didn't force him anymore.
One mouthful of spit and one nail, he can't count his words.
20,000, plus the previous bank loan of Dafeng Toy Factory and the previous wages of the workers, although it exceeded his initial budget, the scale of Dafeng Toy Factory is also several times larger than what he originally thought.
Originally, Chen Yi only planned to buy a small factory with 20 or 30 employees, but now it has more than 120 employees. No big problem.
Chen Yi is also a straightforward person, without procrastinating.
Under the witness of Manager Chen of Hang Seng Bank, the contract was signed with Ma Qingrong immediately.
Looking at Ma Qingrong with his parents dead, Manager Chen was a little surprised. They didn't expect Chen Yi to be able to win the Dafeng Toy Factory at such a low price.
Although it is not clear what the two of them talked about, but from Ma Qingrong's face, everything is self-evident.
After signing the contract, Chen Yi looked at Boss Ma and said with a smile, "Boss Ma, let's go to Hang Seng Bank now and transfer the money to you."
Boss Ma nodded, but did not speak.
He really wants to get the money sooner now, so he can feel more at ease.
When the money was transferred, he didn’t go to the headquarters of Hang Seng Bank. There is a branch of Hang Seng Bank in Shau Kei Wan. After receiving the money, Boss Ma didn’t go back to Dafeng Toy Factory, but greeted Manager Chen casually and left.
As for Chen Yi, Boss Ma doesn’t like him at all right now. If it wasn’t because the stock market is falling and everyone panics, he can’t borrow money everywhere, and he is afraid that he will go bankrupt and jump off the building that day. He would never sell the toy factory.
Although the transaction between the two parties is your choice, Chen Yi pinpointed his dead spot and kept the price to the lowest.
If Chen Yi was the same age as him, it would be fine, but it is unbelievable that he is so young. Boss Ma really has no face to stay by such a person who can be his son.
"Manager Chen, let's have dinner together tonight!"
Manager Chen shook his head and said: "Tomorrow, I have to go back to prepare today. Tomorrow, Mr. Chen, you have to go to Hang Seng Bank to handle the loan."
Chen Yi nodded and said, "Okay, see you at noon tomorrow."
Watching Manager Chen leave, Chen Yi couldn't help being excited, and took Mingzai back towards the toy factory.
My first step has finally been taken.
The next step is to create the Rubik's Cube and register a patent by the way. Not only Xiangjiang, but also European and American countries have to register.
Rubik's Cube, also known as Rubik's Cube, was first invented in 1974 by Professor Rubik Erno of the Budapest School of Architecture in Hungary. It is an extreme hand sport.
In 1977, the Rubik's Cube first appeared in a toy store in Hungary. At that time, the Rubik's Cube, together with Burrow's ballpoint pen and safety matches, became several major inventions in Hungary.
After the Rubik's Cube appeared, after a period of promotion, it set off the first upsurge in the early 1980s. It is said that the Rubik's Cube sold more than 400 million at that time, and the Rubik's Cube is still loved by many people until decades later. , is a truly enduring intellectual toy.
Later generations Rubik's Cube, together with Huarong Dao and Independent Diamond Chess, is called the three wonders in the intellectual game world by foreign intelligence experts. Compared with Huarong Dao and Independent Diamond Chess, the popularity of the Rubik's Cube can be called a miracle in the intellectual game world.
Chen Yi remembers that there was a report in his previous life about a little boy in England, Patrick Possett, who wrote a book called "You Can Restore the Rubik's Cube" when the Rubik's Cube became popular at that time (translated by Zhiyuan The Chinese translation is "How to Play Rubik's Cube", which has sold nearly one million copies in total.
Based on the huge business opportunities of the Rubik's Cube, Professor Rubik and his partners jointly developed the second-order and fourth-order Rubik's Cubes, which were also successful later.
Compared with the father of the Rubik's Cube, or the British boy who doesn't know how old, Chen Yi knows more types of Rubik's Cube, not to mention the methods to restore the Rubik's Cube.
Thinking of this, Chen Yi seemed to see a lot of banknotes waving at him.
"Brother Yi, Brother Yi..."
Just as Chen Yi was dreaming of living a life of feasting, drinking, and money in the future, a pair of big hands pulled him back to reality.
"What's the matter? Ming Tsai" Chen Yi was a little dissatisfied.
"Brother Yi, look quickly, there are many people around the factory gate."
Hearing this, Chen Yi looked in the direction of Ming Zai's finger.
Sure enough, a group of people gathered around the gate of his own Dafeng Toys Factory. Seeing this, Chen Yi couldn't help but feel his heart tighten. He didn't have time to continue dreaming about the luxurious life, and rushed towards the crowd.
Seeing Chen Yi's return, Wu Shirong hurriedly pushed away the people around him, and ran to Chen Yi's side, "Xiao Yi, you're finally back."
Chen Yi glanced at the crowd, he was relieved to see that these people didn't seem to be here to make trouble, then he looked at Wu Shirong and asked, "Brother Rong, what's going on?"
Wu Shirong touched the sweat on his forehead and said: "It's like this. Just now everyone heard the news that someone came to buy Dafeng Toy Factory. Everyone was afraid that their wages would not be paid before, so they rushed over..."
Most of the workers in the Dafeng Toy Factory are people who live nearby. Since everyone knows that Boss Ma has lost money investing in the stock market, and he doesn’t let everyone go to work these days, these people are afraid that Boss Ma will run away, so they have been paying special attention to the factory. movement.
When people like Chen Yi came over today, the workers of Dafeng Toy Factory received the news immediately, so they rushed over in a hurry.
Hearing Wu Shirong's explanation, Chen Yi let go of his last worry, and turned his head to look at the crowd. There were dozens of people's heads, obviously not all of them were present.
Everyone knew that Dafeng Toys Factory had changed hands, and seeing Wu Shirong's respectful appearance to Chen Yi just now, the workers of Dafeng Toys Factory had some guesses in their hearts, and they all looked curiously at Chen Yi, a young man who could be their son .
"Since everyone is here today, don't bother me to send someone to notify you."
"That's right, Dafeng Toy Factory has changed owners. Just now, Boss Ma and I have signed a formal transfer contract under the witness of the business manager of Hang Seng Bank."
"Before Dafeng Toys Factory stopped working for a few days because of Boss Ma's personal reasons. Now we are officially informing everyone that everyone must return to work in the factory on time in two days. For those who did not come today, please pass it on to each other..."
"As for everyone's salary, don't worry about it. How much you should be paid in the past, and when you should be paid in the past, will not change in the future."
