The commotion outside did not affect Li Mingjun. When he returned to the office, he immediately started making calls according to the phone number found by his secretary.
"Du~
Hello, hello, are you Mr. Li from Beifan Electronics? I am Wumart Li Mingjun! "
"It's rare for Mr. Li to call me. Are you planning to pay us for the goods now?"
"Um...Mr. Li is really sorry, we didn't mean to default on the payment!
It’s like this. The company is encountering some difficulties now, and there is a little inconvenience in capital turnover. I..."
"Mr. Li, we are also in a difficult situation now. Our supply price to your company is already low. It is not an exaggeration to say that the profit is meager. The whole factory relies on this small amount of money to make ends meet.
It was originally agreed that the payment would be made every quarter, but it turns out that it has been almost half a year and they still haven't paid us the payment. We also need to eat, and the employees' children also need to pay tuition fees for school.
Mr. Li, it’s not that I’m making things difficult for you, but the reality is that it’s so difficult.
I won’t say much today. I will just say that the supply will be stopped for now. The payment will be settled within three days and we will talk about other things later.
Okay, I still have something to do, that’s it, I’ll hang up now. "
When Li Mingjun heard that he was in a hurry, he hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Li, Mr. Li, please give me more grace, Mr. Li, I promise that I will do it as soon as possible..."
Toot~
A long blind tone interrupted Li Mingjun's call, and he froze in place holding the phone.
The secretary shouted worriedly: "Mr. Li... are you okay?"
Li Mingjun came to his senses, shook his head and continued to dial out a number: "Hey, this is Boss Peng from Hongfu Electrical and Mechanical. I am Wu..."
"Hey, this is Boss Bai from Yanda Electronics..."
"Hey, this is Boss Zhu from Lingbo Electronics..."
It took just a few minutes to make four calls, but the results he got made Li Mingjun's heart sink infinitely...
He fell down on the chair, looked up at the ceiling, and said with a wry smile: "Even the rhetoric is exactly the same, these people really want to join forces to force the palace!"
The secretary opened his mouth wide, and after a long while he whispered softly: "Mr. Li, we can't ignore it. It's already the end of the quarter in late June, and it happens to be the time when the accessories for this season have been used up and we are preparing to replace them for the next season.
If the problem is not solved immediately, we will have to stop work within ten days. "
"Yes, I know." Li Mingjun responded feebly, with a look of struggle on his face.
After hesitating, he reached out and grabbed the phone again and pulled it out.
After a long while the call was connected, he put on a smiling face and called out cordially: "Hey, is this President Ren? I'm Li Mingjun!"
Ah, yes, yes!
...
That's it, I want to borrow some money from your bank to make some money, just...
ah? Bad reputation?
No, President Ren, those are all rumors, and we have refuted them.
Hey, hey, President Ren, we..."
The only bank where the company had not loaned money rejected him like this, and Li Mingjun was so depressed that he didn't want to talk.
It took a long time before another overseas number was dialed.
This time the call was connected much more slowly.
"Hello. Who is this?"
"Li Ping, it's me!" Li Mingjun looked dejected. Hearing the familiar yet somewhat distorted female voice on the phone, he had mixed feelings for a moment.
"Mingjun? Why are you calling me at this time? The company is not busy."
"Oh...sort of."
"Didn't you say that your company is not peaceful recently? What's going on?"
"It's a bit troublesome. It's a bit long to tell you specifically. In short, our precious son made a mistake and started fighting with Li Xiucheng again. Now not only has his Wumart Supermarket been in crisis, but I have also been implicated.
Haha, I don’t know if I can survive this level now! "
"Huh? So serious?"
Wu Liping's voice on the phone suddenly became high-pitched and shrill, obviously shocked by the news about Li Mingjun.
The tone of his next words became more urgent.
"What's going on! I only heard Yinghao mention it before, saying that you are in trouble now and are dealing with it. I thought the matter was not serious.
Please tell me carefully and I'll see if I can help you. "
"Money! I'm short of liquidity!"
Li Mingjun let out a long sigh, and then said: "What happened was that before Yongxing Supermarket teamed up with Changhong Electronics... Then Yinghao and Xiao Rong did little things behind my back, and they actually found a gang of gangsters... ..Not only was the result exposed, but he was also photographed by reporters when he paid the money later.
Then...now our company's reputation has suffered a huge loss, and the products have also been boycotted by the public. But the loan is due next month, and I have to raise money to repay it, and then the four component suppliers in Yiwu I just called and said that if I don't pay off the debt for two quarters, the supply of spare parts will be cut off, and I will be forced to go to the palace.
Liping, I am really exhausted now, mentally and physically, and there is nothing I can do. "
"Hey, why is the matter so serious? You should have told me earlier, so there would be no way to raise money?"
"There is nothing I can do. I just called the president of the Bank of Shanghai. They said that I have a bad reputation and am unwilling to lend money.
Now the company has gotten to this point, hey! "
“What’s the funding gap?”
"Twenty million!"
"Why so many?"
"That's the amount of loan plus payment!"
"It's too much. I can still think of something with a few million, but I can't spare even 20 million."
Although he had already thought of this result, Li Mingjun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard Wu Liping say this. He was silent for a few seconds before saying: "Otherwise, we will find a way to sell the few pieces of land and real estate we are holding on to." ?”
"Sell? It's not impossible, but Mingjun, in this situation, who do you think will be willing to take over these pieces of land? And what do you think is the appropriate price?"
"But what can we do otherwise? I can't just watch Wumart fall down like this, right?
I can't accept it, Liping. This is a business that I created with my own hands and a lifetime of hard work. I can't help but watch him fall! "
By the end, Li Mingjun's handsome face had become distorted.
"Don't worry, Mingjun. Otherwise, I'll try my best to raise 10 million for you. You can clear the payment first. After all, maintaining production is the most important thing. Then we can find a way to sell the land." It doesn't matter if you go out, even if it's a low sale, part of the funds will help you tide over the difficulties, and part of it will be given to me.
This time, all the funds I got from selling two subsidiaries were invested in Longtai Bank to invest in Taiguo and Jianni. The funds from the land sale were just enough to bring back blood to the group. "
"Then, I'm in trouble for you, Liping. But...how did you get these ten million?"
As soon as this question came up, there was silence on the phone for a long time before Wu Liping's faint voice rang.
"Li Film and Television has seen little improvement due to the influence of the group, and I plan to sell it."
Li Mingjun opened his mouth, but finally said with great emotion: "Thank you, Liping."
"Hey, who asked us to raise a son who doesn't care about himself?"
