"No, I said it's okay for you, a big leader, to blackmail people. Why do you still do it?"

Chu Mingchen was not happy to be ripped off by Director Liu. Seeing him treat Master Luo like this, he felt even more reluctant and decided to argue with him.

"Do I take action? I am managing my own employees!" Hearing the thorn in Chu Mingchen's words, Director Liu's tone began to sound bad, "Besides, I asked you to compensate according to the price, so why did you blackmail me? Are you? You don’t have the money to compensate, so you want to be a rogue, right?”

"You must abide by the rules when managing your employees!" Chu Mingchen, who is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, shouted loudly, "You must also set a standard when asking for compensation! You said the compensation is 100 million, just 100 million! Who do you think you are? "

"Who am I? Who do you think I am!" After being scolded all over his face by this young boy, Director Liu immediately lost his temper. His whole face turned red, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke, "I am this lumber." Boss of the factory, why should I tell you about the articles of incorporation? Why should I tell you about the standards? You know nothing! I’m a college student from Tianyang University! So unqualified, right?" Speaking of Tianyang University, Director Liu suddenly had an idea. Now, he looked at the workshop director and said, "That Lao Li, he is the intern brought by Lao Luo, right? Call their teacher. If he doesn't pay, he will go to the teacher! Go to the school! Whoever brought him will be the one to pay!"

After saying that, he glanced at Chu Mingchen provocatively:
"I can't heal you yet!"

"Hey, why are you so unreasonable?" Chu Mingchen was furious. Not to be outdone, he pointed at Director Liu's nose and bullied him, "Whoever you call is not worth a million!"

"Why isn't it worth 100 million? If I say it's worth it, it's worth it! I, the King of Heaven, will come with this amount too!"

"I think you are obsessed with money! You are blackmailing me! I'm calling the police!"

The two of them just talked to each other and had a heated argument.

Fortunately, some workers intervened between the two of them, and the workshop director who came along with them calmed down the commotion, so the matter did not escalate into a big deal.

The workshop director called Ye Fangyu and arranged for the parties involved to go to the conference room to discuss a solution.

People from the two parties sat on both sides of the conference table. Although Chu Mingchen was single and weak, he was still neither humble nor overbearing when facing the seven or eight workers across from him and the eyeing Factory Director Liu.

While waiting for Ye Fangyu, Chu Mingchen asked the security room to retrieve the surveillance video so that everyone could see the whole incident clearly. He also asked the warehouse manager to take out the usual rules and regulations for the safekeeping of valuable furniture and identify the workers one by one. Terms of illegal operation.

The purpose of this is to clarify the division of responsibilities.

In the surveillance video, Chu Mingchen and Lou Xinyue did not touch the screen, but it cannot be denied that Lou Xinyue should not have stayed inside the finished product warehouse without permission. The workers also stopped and caused the screen to fall to the ground in order to avoid Lou Xinyue; But then again, if the workers could fix the screen with ropes as required by the regulations, such an accident might not have happened.

After clarifying this point, Chu Mingchen gained the confidence to negotiate.

When he was thinking about how to speak, he heard Lou Xinyue whispering to herself: "Otherwise, forget it! Isn't it just 100 million? I am also responsible for this. I will tell my dad and I will compensate them. "

In Lou Xinyue's eyes, although the money was not a small amount, it was not worth wasting time arguing with them.

"No!" When Chu Mingchen refused, he still didn't understand the brain circuit of this rich second-generation lady, "You are stupid and willing to be fooled by this. If I didn't see it, then I would definitely have no objection. But today I'm here, no one wants to let me suffer from this cowardice!"

Lou Xinyue still wanted to speak, but she saw Chu Mingchen glare at her, then closed her mouth again and listened quietly to the battle between him and Factory Director Liu.

"Looking at the surveillance video, it is true that we are at fault, but your own management is not good enough. The ratio of responsibility is at least [-]:[-]!"

Factory Director Liu didn't expect that Chu Mingchen's lion opened his mouth so much that half of it was cut off, and his already long face became even longer: "As soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, you will lose 50 yuan in compensation? That's easy to say! Humph, You can’t miss a cent of 100 million, and that’s it, I’m giving you a discount!”

"Don't get me wrong." Chu Mingchen immediately sat up straight. "The 20/[-] I mentioned is just the liability ratio. The specific amount of compensation depends on the actual value of this thing." He said, raising his hand to the screen in the surveillance video. Chin, "The marble of this screen is just ordinary stuff. As for the wood of the Huanghuali base, no matter how fine the carvings are, it's not an antique. I estimate it at [-] because of Master Luo's craftsmanship, and then fold it in half. The most I can compensate you is [-] yuan."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this number, Factory Director Liu jumped up immediately, picked up a tea cup, and walked along the conference table wanting to beat up this young man who uttered such arrogant words:
"This is old wood from when the old Tianyang Timber Factory was built 50 years ago! Two large carts of wood with a diameter of ten centimeters, so hard to match the texture! Authentic gold oil grid water ripples! You Go to the market and ask, who has so many top-notch Hainan Huanghuali! You are making such a joke with me here! How did your teacher teach you! How did your parents teach you!!!"

The lid of the white porcelain tea cup flew out of the cup, wiping Chu Mingchen's curly hair and hitting the filing cabinet behind it, with a "snap" sound and shattered porcelain pieces all over the floor.

Lou Xinyue was so frightened that she hid her head under the conference table. She poked her head out after a while, only to see Chu Mingchen's fists clenched tightly on the table, with bulging veins, as if he was going to swing them up and smash them on the table in the next second. Director Liu's face.

"Chu Mingchen" she hurriedly pulled Chu Mingchen's sleeves.

Chu Mingchen froze for a long time before slowly loosening his fist.

The workshop director and other workers, who did not pay attention to the situation here, hurriedly pulled Director Liu back to his original position and consoled him randomly: "Factory director, director! Calm down, calm down! What do you mean you are arguing with a child? If you spread the word, Laughing at you!"

"Why are you kidding me? If he smashes the screen, he will have to pay for it, but the child will not be compensated? Will the child be lawless?" Factory Director Liu also realized that he was overly excited, but still stubbornly snorted, "Besides, compensation is enough." It’s all over now? What if I can’t deliver the goods?”

"Yes, yes, yes! We know you are worried that you will not be able to deliver the goods by then, and you are in a hurry." The workshop director continued to say good things, "We can wait until their teacher comes to discuss the compensation. It is not right for you to take action. You can handle the delivery." Don’t get angry, there’s still wood left and right, let’s work overtime and finish it, okay?”

"Yes!" Several workers echoed.Master Luo, who had been trying to break up the fight but was speechless, saw that no one was in the mood to look at his mute words, so he had to write the word "cost" on a piece of paper and show it to Chu Mingchen.

Although he only had this apprentice for a few days, he could see that Chu Mingchen was not only a down-to-earth child who was smart and eager to learn, but also a very caring and good child.

After knowing that he was deaf-mute, he not only did not dislike himself, but also always helped him do a lot more work.

What touched him most was that he, a proud man, actually took his deaf son to get a hearing aid.Although he couldn't hear the sound, he could see his son's happy smile after hearing the sound, and the mouth shape of his son calling out the word "Dad" with Chu Mingchen's help. As a father, he was more capable than hearing the sound. Be ten thousand times happier.

Such a good child should not be embarrassed by Factory Director Liu.

Chu Mingchen didn't react when he saw these two words, but Lou Xinyue screamed and directly calmed the elders present:
"That's right! How much the screen is worth doesn't depend on the selling price, it depends on your cost price! This screen must have separate accounting items. The accounts are the clearest! Ask your accountant to bring the account books!"

The workshop director hurriedly went to get the account book.

When everyone saw clearly written on the ledger that the cost of wood was "[-]" and the cost of labor was "[-]", the whole conference room was silent for a moment and then there was an uproar.

Lou Xinyue was naturally impressed by Chu Mingchen's valuation level. Chu Mingchen also praised Lou Xinyue for not studying the "Ancient Building Project Budget" in vain these days, and for knowing how to read the cost accounts.

But what’s more, the workers are still chattering:
"Director, you are wrong. The cost is only 20 yuan. You ask for 100 million yuan. This is too deceptive!"

"Yes! This kind of wood is also spliced. At worst, it is not easy to put together a base. I am a student and don't have much money."

The workshop director was all smiles and didn’t know what to say:

"Director, look"

But no matter how much everyone tried to persuade him, Director Liu would not take a stand.

Seeing this, Lou Xinyue finally started to use her words: "As for the money, it's one hundred thousand. I will transfer it to you today. But if you only want 100 million, then you go to my lawyer." Let’s talk! But let me remind you, we have the right to counter-sue you for blackmail! It’s up to you to choose which one is more serious!”

Seeing that this pretty little girl had been silent just now and spoke so powerfully, the workshop director felt anxious and scared, so he continued to persuade Factory Director Liu.

Factory Manager Liu, who had always shown himself to be a strong person, was pretending to be a bad person. At this moment, he finally let go of his pretense, said "Oh!!!" and stamped his feet twice at the same time, and then told the truth while holding his head.

It turns out that this screen was customized by a big real estate boss.

This big boss invested in an office park in the suburbs of Tianyang City in June last year. The marble was given to him as a groundbreaking gift. The big boss wanted to use this marble to make a screen and place it on the first floor of the office building in the park. hall.After the groundbreaking ceremony, someone sent someone to deliver the marble to Tianyang Timber Factory. The wood and pattern were selected, and a contract was also drawn up. If the material and labor costs were added together, they could be given 6 million.

But there is a clause in the contract that the goods must be delivered before June 6 this year, otherwise they will be compensated according to liquidated damages of 15 million.

This condition is very harsh, but the number of this list is really too large.

At that time, Tianyang Timber Factory could not make much profit from wood cutting and wood transportation, so it wanted to use furniture manufacturing to balance its income and expenses.However, due to the impact of European furniture factories and new furniture factories, there has been no business for several years. In the past two years, it has only relied on custom-made tables and chairs for individual customers who like antique furniture to maintain operations.Without business, wages will not rise, and many skilled masters and young people who need to support their families will leave.Apart from some old people who are passionate about wood carving, those who stay are some disabled people.

After hearing this, Chu Mingchen and Lou Xinyue discovered that among the workers in the conference room, there were not only deaf-mute people like Master Luo, but also several young workers with physical disabilities.

"This order is risky, but I have to take it! 100 million! They have seniors and juniors, so they need money! Tianyang Timber Factory used to be so beautiful! Who doesn't give a thumbs up when mentioning it? But what happened later? ? European-style, pastoral, and panel furniture factories are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. The furniture is cheap and looks good. I like it too!"

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, Factory Manager Liu cursed in the air again, "Who the hell is willing to be taken advantage of and buy such expensive solid wood carved furniture?" He said, and took a photo of himself mockingly. He took a picture of the circle-backed chair he was sitting on, "It's still such an old-fashioned style!"

Although there was a lot of disgust in his words, his rough hands were carefully groping on the smooth jade wood, showing a lot of reluctance.

When Director Liu said this, he sniffed and sat back on the chair, looking at the ceiling: "I thought that after completing this order, everyone would have a good life. But now the screen is destroyed, and the goods cannot be delivered in half a month. , the lumber factory has to pay 100 million in liquidated damages, 100 million! 100 million!"

The hand leaning on the furniture, after gesturing "1" three times, hung down lightly.

Then, Director Liu stood up and walked to Chu Mingchen and apologized sheepishly:

"I really shouldn't embarrass you two children, but I really couldn't turn this corner just now. Please forgive me."

Before Chu Mingchen could speak, he turned back to the room full of workers and said:
"As for the liquidated damages, you don't have to worry about it. If it doesn't work out, I can sell the house and borrow it from relatives to make up for it. As for what will happen to the Tianyang Timber Factory in the future, I can't do anything about it."

After that, he left the conference room.
