small business

Chapter 20 The only thing that can be done

Things were still going in the worst direction that Ms. Han expected.

Even worse than expected.

Ismail and his younger brother, when Fei Guochen arrived in Istanbul, there was no possibility of waking up.

Despite best efforts, a rescue helicopter was called in.

If the explosion did not receive timely treatment at the first moment of the explosion, it would definitely be fatal to those who were already seriously injured.

What's more, Ismail and his younger brother are the two closest to the smelting furnace.

Five people were sent, and the two most important people died.

The remaining family members felt that it was impossible for a factory as small as the copper bar to be responsible to the end.

Turkey's public medical care is free, but this kind of helicopter dispatch is definitely not within the scope of free.

When Fei Guochen arrived, Lin Congyi was already "controlled" by the seriously injured family members.

These people didn't agree to let Fei Guochen and Lin Congyi go back to see the situation until they realized that the copper bar factory was just a supporting facility for the lock factory.

The factory is small and easy to leave.

If the factory is big, monks can walk away, but monks can't walk out of the temple.

Among other things, the equipment in more than a dozen containers in the factory is definitely not something that can be transported away.

When Fei Guochen and Lin Zumin arrived in Mardin.

The copper rod factory where the explosion occurred has been sealed off.

It doesn't seem to be a very formal kind of being blocked.

For a while, it was unclear whether it was sealed by the government or taken over by unknown armed forces.

The shells of bullets and shells can be used to turn copper.

Conversely, there are many things that copper rods can do.

Fei Guochen and Lin Zumin wanted to go inside to see what was going on and analyze the possible cause of the explosion.

In the end it didn't work out.

For the factory in Turkey, since its establishment, Fei Guochen was only in charge of technology.

The rest, starting with the site selection, was Ismail's responsibility.

Although Fei Guochen and Lin Zumin take turns to stay in Mardin for a period of time every year, they are both good at technical research.

Plus the language barrier.

Ismail is in charge of all the dealings with the outside world.

Then there are two foremen.

Ismail's younger brother is in charge of the workers in Turkey, and Lin Congyi is in charge of the workers in China.

The copper bar factory was sealed up and no one dared to make trouble.

The situation quickly developed to the lock factory.

The lock factory in Turkey has been in operation for seven years and has been in safe production for seven years.

Because of the high quality and low price, no matter how the output increases, the supply has always been in short supply.

It is a typical seller's market.

Because it is easy to sell, those who are afraid that they will not be able to buy it will directly pay the full amount in advance after signing the contract.

This point is unlikely to happen in domestic lock factories.

The output of domestic locks has always been higher than the sales volume, which is a typical buyer's market.

Even if a customer with the best relationship comes to you to buy, it will take a long billing period.

In short, it is to get the goods first and pay later.

As for when the money will be paid, of course it is a day if it can be delayed, and a sum of money if it can be delayed.

People who run factories, if the sales of the factory are very good, often say that they have no money, most of which are related to accounts receivable.

The issue of the billing period has been with Fei Guochen since the first day he worked alone.

It is a big heart disease in his heart.

In the first year of working alone, Fei Guochen was very lucky to accept a large order of 10 yuan.

In that era when [-]-yuan households were relatively rare.

The contract of 10 yuan feels bigger than the current order of 2000 million.

Holding such a contract, Fei Guochen led a large group of workers with his own skills, and worked for several months.

Those workers followed him because they trusted Fei Guochen's skills and character.

They are all waiting to take the money and improve their lives.

The buyer is a large state-owned factory, which is why Fei Guochen dared to start working after taking the contract.

Unexpectedly, after the goods were delivered, the other party said that they were not profitable and had no money at all.

Fei Guochen went straight to the factory and stayed there for three months.

A person who is only interested in technology will ask for money from the leader every now and then.

For Fei Guochen, this was a very difficult matter.

However, if he does not ask for the money owed to him by the buyer, it will lead to arrears of wages to the workers.

No matter how difficult it is, bite the bullet and do it.

After a long time, Fei Guochen touched the factory all over again.

In the end, even the security guards in the warehouse came for it again.

Make sure that the big factory really has no money.

But Fei Guochen went back just like that.

For the livelihood, but also for the trust of the workers.

So he went to discuss with the factory manager who signed the contract with him at that time, and asked if he could give him the batch of bakelite powder in the warehouse to offset the payment for the goods.

That batch of bakelite powder has been piling up for a long time, and it has never been used.

For this state-owned factory, it is actually somewhat redundant.

In the eyes of the warehouse security guard, it is considered as garbage.

The factory manager didn't mean to default on the debt, but when Fei Guochen said he was willing to pay off the debt with property, he agreed.

Bakelite powder is useless for copper smelting and lock making.

However, plastics were not widely used at that time.

Bakelite is impermeable, non-deformable, easy to process, and has insulating properties, making it the best material for the emerging electrical industry.

At that time, Fei Guochen could only be regarded as a workshop, and there were several factories next to the factory that made electric gates and light switches.

With the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Fei Guochen tried to sell this bakelite horse to an electrical factory.

This sale directly sold twice the price of the original contract.

Joyfully sent the long-overdue wages to the workers plus an extra big red envelope.

Another year of full pork was happily passed.

At that time, Fei Guochen had just entered the shopping mall, and with the matter of arrears, it was perfectly resolved by him in the end, so he naively thought that the last arrears was just a special phenomenon.

In the second year, Fei Guochen directly set up his own factory.

Then, fortunately, a second big order was received.

The contract amount directly changed from the first 20 to [-].

When he delivered the freight, the other party said that he had no money.

This time, the factory manager even started to avoid him.

As a result, Fei Guochen could only watch in the financial office all day long.

At first, everyone in the financial office hated him.

Who would like to sit in his office with a debt collector who visits every day.

When Fei Guochen saw the look of disgust, he acted as if he didn't see it.

He observed slowly and found that the financial office of this factory was all just pregnant or had children at home.

So I asked someone to buy a lot of big white rabbit toffee from Shanghai.

He will give it to any financial item that he doesn't like.

In the end, I sent all the finances once, and I was short of directly merging with the finances.

In that era when eating meat was considered a big deal, white rabbit toffee was naturally a rare delicacy.

In the end, even the chief financial officer was bought by the little white rabbit toffee. When he saw Fei Guochen, he said that her daughter liked it very much, and joked that he wanted to marry his daughter to Fei Guochen.

The factory for the second order, before signing the contract, Fei Guochen did an investigation.

The sales volume of this factory is very good, and there is no possibility of making ends meet.

However, they are also owed by many people.

When the money comes, it is within the scope of the financial supervisor's responsibility to call whoever is called first and then whoever is called later.

Not long after, the factory received a sum of money, and the financial director and no one said anything, so he notified Fei Guochen immediately and asked him to go to the factory manager.

The factory manager thought that there was no money in the factory, so he said boldly that as long as the finance department could lend money, he would pay Fei Guochen first.

Then, Fei Guochen once again completed the collection task beautifully.

For the first two orders, the money finally arrived.

But it is not easy to get it every time.

It is obvious that someone owes you money, but you still have to ask and coax them.

Compared with the difficulty of production and the need for accounts, it is not worth mentioning at all.

This kind of life is not what Fei Guochen wants.

He simply has no time to specialize in technology.

That's why, Fei Guochen is obviously a master of technology, and he still wants to find a chief engineer.

This situation has been maintained until the third year of the establishment of the Turkish lock factory.

Ismail is a good hand in sales.

In three years, not only has the market been expanded, but the supply has exceeded demand.

Buyers have booked in full.

Correspondingly, the cost of breach of contract has also increased several times.

For those domestic orders, there was no deposit, or very little.

Do it or not, the loss will not be too great.

Ms. Han did a lot of calculations overnight.

If the order signed out by the Turkish lock factory with full payment in advance cannot be delivered on time.

The loss would be very traumatic.

Afraid of what to come.

Fei Guochen and his party had just arrived in Mardin when the lock factory there was smashed and looted.

To open a factory in a place like Mardin, of course, everything needs to be done.

With Ismail here before, Fei Guochen didn't need to worry about these things at all.

Don't worry about the bill period, don't worry about sales.

This is why Fei Guochen gradually shifted the focus of production to Turkey.

He even gave Ismail most of the profits, just so that he could research technology with peace of mind.

Now that such an accident happened, Ismail's family, in turn, were the first to think that there was something wrong with Lin Congyi.

The reason was of course [Why wasn't Lin Congyi the one who died? ], and [Why are China's technology and management all okay? 】.

Fei Guochen couldn't go to the scene of the explosion, and neither could Ismail's family.

The family lost two men in charge at once.

Fei Guochen could understand their feelings.

But if they wanted to attack Lin Congyi, Fei Guochen and Lin Zumin would definitely stop them.

The situation is slowly fermenting.

In the end, the personal safety of all Chinese workers became a problem.

Fei Guochen couldn't accept this.

Fei Guochen and Ms. Han talk on the phone every day.

All the content on the phone is also to report good news but not bad news.

Until Fei Yiban received a call from Fei Guochen, asking if he could arrange a charter flight.

"That must be done." Fei Yiban smugly said, "Didn't I tell you that there are few people who are more familiar with this kind of spending a lot of money than me."

"That's fine." Fei Guochen said, "Then dad will tell you after confirming the number of people."

What is there to be sure of?
There were only two of them when they went out, and when they came back, even if Lin Congyi gave birth to one child a year outside, there would only be ten of them if he died.

It only took ten minutes for Fei Yi to help Fei Guochen book a business jet with a capacity of 19 people.

Apart from the captain and the flight attendant, Lin Congyi would have no problem giving birth to a few more.

After finalizing the business jet, when Fei Yiban asked for money to pay the deposit, he said in a sour voice: "Yes, Director Fei, your son has such an extravagant life style, and he is not willing to order a business jet when he returns to China. .”

At the same time as sending, Fei Yiban also received a voice message from [Factory Director Fei]: "Father and Lin Gong will not go back for the time being. Lin Congyi plus the former domestic workers and managers, a total of 135 people."

Fei Yiban listened to this voice back and forth several times.

Only then did he confirm that the charter flight he understood was completely different from the charter flight that Director Fei wanted.

Fei Yiban hurriedly made a phone call: "What's going on? Why are you making it look like you're evacuating overseas Chinese?"

"It makes sense!" Fei Guochen said, "Dad is so busy and confused. Why did he think of you first when it comes to chartering a flight? Dad quickly called the embassy."

"Are you really withdrawing?" Fei Yiban had just joked before, "Did something happen?"

"It's nothing." Fei Guochen said, "Don't tell your mother just yet."

"It's okay, why can't you tell my mother?" Fei Yiban didn't want to believe such nonsense, "Why didn't you come back with the workers? I'll go and tell my mother right away."

In the end, his tone became a little childish because of his anxiety.

It's like a little boy has to tell his mother about everything he encounters.

"Yiyi, you are already a big man." Fei Guochen regretted calling Fei Yiban in a hurry.

It may be because Fei Yiban was too quick to contact the rescue helicopter before, which relieved a lot of his burden.

This made Fei Guochen subconsciously rely on his unreliable son.

"If you don't tell me the truth, or you still treat me like a child, then I can only tell my mother." Fei Yiban said firmly, "You tell me everything, so I can decide whether to help you."

Fei Guochen thought for a while, and it was impossible to hide such a big matter from Han Yuxin about withdrawing all the Chinese workers and management.

If I don't say it now, I will definitely say it when someone arrives.

Originally, he just needed time to think about it, how to say it would be better.

Since it was only half a day early and half a day late, Fei Guochen didn't hide it anymore.

He told Fei Yiban about the general situation.

After the Chinese workers withdraw, the Turkish workers still need to deal with the aftermath.

Fei Guochen couldn't just walk away like this.

Fei Yiban said that he was going to go there, and Fei Guochen asked, "Will your mother follow you when you come?"

"..." Fei Yiban didn't want to be persuaded by the same reason twice.

Fei Guochen also assured: "Don't worry, father and Lin Gong are here, there is no problem with personal safety, otherwise Lin Gong's son would not just go back, don't you think so?"

"Then..." Fei Yiban was silent for a while before saying, "Leave the charter flight to me, and you can concentrate on dealing with the aftermath. I'll get in touch with Brother Congyi directly."

There is definitely no airline that can fly directly to that corner.

In this sense, chartering civil aviation aircraft is much more troublesome than chartering private jets.

Whether it's calling or asking for help, it's hard to explain clearly in a few sentences.

Fei Yiban is usually the person who is most afraid of trouble, but now he regards this kind of trouble as the only part he can do.
