Chapter 260: Great! It's Factory Manager Ji, we are saved!
The next day, morning.
Getting up early, Ji Jue drove to the factory area. After a lap, he heard a small electric scooter driving towards the factory area. The bald middle-aged man riding the bike had a pale face and dark circles under his eyes, obviously not having rested well all night.
"Master Yan, you're here?"
Ji Jue beckoned to him and smiled: "How did you consider it? I've talked to them, the compensation can be given to..."
Yan Jian interrupted his words and told him: "I want to stay and try first."
Ji Jue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"Then stay, are there any conditions?" Ji Jue told him, "Everything can be discussed. Anyway, whether you go or stay, the contract will be re-signed. Ah, the seniority will be reserved for you, don't worry."
"As for conditions, we'll talk later."
Yan Jian sighed, looked at Ji Jue's calm appearance, his expression became heavier, and he couldn't see any joy or relaxation.
Rather than the high spirits of starting over, it was more like the numbness and calmness of accepting reality—things have come to this, let's just lie flat first.
It's already late stage, at worst it's just death.
Struggling again can be considered a death struggle. At worst, go back to the pit and stay, what else can happen? Bankruptcy? That would be great, I'd be free again and can start over.
Back then, he followed the old factory manager to build this factory with his own hands. Every brick and tile here couldn't be said to be laid by him, but at least there was some affection.
After the high-spirited days passed, the old factory manager passed away, and he had wasted so many years, there must be a result.
Just treat it as having a beginning and an end.
"I'll go check the equipment. Many are already broken, and not many can be turned on." Yan Jian finished smoking and said: "Later you take a look, what needs to be repaired, what needs to be patched, what needs to be replaced, it's not a small amount."
He paused and looked at him: "The factory plans to rebuild, the news of the coastal restart has already spread, you have to be mentally prepared."
"Don't worry."
Ji Jue waved his hand calmly.
Immediately after, five minutes later, he saw...
A surging crowd, coming mightily!
For more than ten years, the entire Coastal Automobile Factory had never been so lively.
One or two cars stopped from the gate to the main road, and more simply took taxis or buses.
Those people from all directions gathered together in high spirits, greeting each other joyfully. On those faces that had weathered the storms, there was joy and happiness at this moment.
When they heard that the Coastal Automobile Factory was preparing to resume production, they had already rushed over day and night.
Now it's just the first wave.
At this moment, many people saw Ji Jue wandering in the factory area and immediately gathered around, handing out cigarettes, shaking hands, and greeting him enthusiastically.
"Factory Manager Ji, you must be Factory Manager Ji, right?"
Their eyes flashed with excitement: "I heard the factory is going to resume production, is it true?"
Ji Jue was also stunned, and for a moment he couldn't help but blush and feel ashamed.
I didn't expect that after so many years, there would still be so many people who would remember such a broken factory and rush back the moment they received the news. The feelings are so deep.
"Yes, yes, that's right."
Moved, Ji Jue was at a loss for a moment: "Everyone, please rest assured, the coast will definitely resume production, and in the future, it will definitely..."
So, the crowd became even more excited, ecstatic, and joy seemed to be transmitted between smiling faces like substance, overflowing with happiness and expectation.
Some people wiped their tears excitedly, almost crying with joy.
Great!
It's really great!
The Coastal Automobile Factory is finally saved!
"Then is it convenient to settle the previous payment?"
The person rushing to the front took out an IOU from his pocket and sent it to Ji Jue's eyes.
"And mine, the final payment hasn't been paid for so many years!"
"Factory Manager Ji, the second phase of the water and electricity project hasn't been paid yet!"
"Mine, mine, look at mine!"
"And me!"
For a time, the crowd surged, almost swallowing Ji Jue. IOUs and contracts flew like snowflakes, rising into the sky, and falling in Ji Jue's dull expression.
Burying him in the innermost part...
Not even having time to struggle.
In the distance, in the corner of the factory building, Yan Jian, who was squatting and smoking, couldn't help but shake his head.
Told you, let you be careful...
For the whole morning, Ji Jue did almost nothing, all he did was entertain creditors.
At the same time, he regretted his naivety.
What are you thinking!
Do you think this is some kind of hot-blooded inspirational morning drama!
Think with your heels, this damn broken factory has been shut down for so many years, it's impossible to have so many die-hards... No, if they could really be so united back then, would it have fallen to this point?
As the saying goes, lovers may abandon you, brothers may betray you, but creditors will never leave you. They said they wouldn't leave, they wouldn't leave. One spit, one nail, we are tied for life.
This is our hot-blooded bond!
In the second dimension, maybe there will be a delicate black-haired beauty blushing and saying to you: It's a deal, you have to pay me back for a lifetime!
In reality, it is countless old faces with smiles, anger, or panic and anxiety that he will default on the debt, blocking the door, lingering and not leaving.
Ji Jue sat in the drafty office, only feeling that his heart was colder and more thorough than the zombie meat frozen for eighty years in the warehouse.
Listless.
At least the creditors were more polite—mainly because if they kept arguing, one sentence after another, it was impossible to explain clearly. Everyone lined up very politely, standing outside, blocking the wind and rain for Ji Jue, swearing to follow.
Then, a few representatives were chosen to come in.
Talk.
Must talk.
Then, Ji Jue finally realized the amazing wisdom and ability of the former factory manager.
Before he couldn't stay and left, in order to maintain production, he almost borrowed from the entire Yacheng, ranging from one or two hundred thousand to one or two thousand...
Together with the final payment that could not be settled, it added up to a terrifying scale of over four hundred million.
This doesn't even count the bank mortgage loans...
Ji Jue did a simple math problem, and then wanted to gasp, but couldn't.
Sweating all over in the cold weather.
This is too damn weird.
Is this guy doing it on purpose?
Either stupid, played by others without knowing it, or bad, breaking the jar and breaking it, finishing the last bit and leaving.
Leaving this mess for Ji Jue.
"It's really not that we are aggressive, really, these years, life is really hard to live."
The accessory factory boss chosen as a representative almost had tears coming down: "Tens of millions of payments, all of which I am padding, the bank is urging for money, employees also need to pay wages, my house and car have been sold, the factory is about to go bankrupt, until now, I don't even dare to eat hot food over thirty yuan, Factory Manager Ji, General Manager Ji, I also have feelings for the coast... but life is really hard to live... please raise your hand."
"Yes, yes." People next to him also felt the same. Some people had red eyes and couldn't speak, some people smoked with their heads down.
Stating facts and reasoning, selling pity and pretending to be poor, threatening with harsh words...
After the whole set of processes was completed, the crying and scolding ended, and everyone's eyes fell on Ji Jue.
Must give an account.
Ji Jue looked at the small mountain piled up in the ashtray in front of him, even though he had always respected tobacco, he couldn't help but want to borrow a fire.
If life could be lived well, who would touch cigarettes and alcohol? This life is really too hard.
"The situation on the coast, everyone, has seen it."
He paused and said slowly: "The situation is just like this."
Seeing others wanting to speak, he raised his hand to signal to wait.
Some people still wanted to cry or say something, and others got up impatiently wanting him to give a definite answer, but stared at by those calm eyes, they couldn't help but pause for a moment.
Ji Jue's palm raised.
Silence.
"Listen to me."
Ji Jue looked at them, looked at the figures peeking outside the door, and sighed.
With the money given by Lu Yingyue, in fact, it would definitely be able to solve this old account, but don't think about rebuilding. That money is for building the factory and maintenance. Using it to pay for the bottomless pit left by the predecessor is too stupid.
Where is the reason to cut a few knives on one's own economy just after starting? Moreover, in so many bad debts, how much water is there, and how much skin needs to be pulled?
"I just took over the coast, and I haven't even taken office yet. The specific accounts need to be counted and counted before they can be determined.
However, if everyone wants an account, I can give an account."
He said bluntly:
"No money."
Boom!
In an instant, the crowd surged, everyone couldn't help but get up, squeeze forward, scolding and begging were endless. In the surging crowd, a bearded middle-aged man squeezed to the front, his hand reached into his arms, clutching something.
But he didn't have time to pull it out.
Ji Jue's eyes had already fallen on his face.
Smiling but not smiling.
Looking at him.
Obviously doing nothing, even if just looking at him, it made the middle-aged man stiff in place, from the inside out... creepy.
When the embers burning in those dark eyes suddenly surged, the coldness like substance swallowed the entire office completely. Anger, grief, mockery, or calculation, everything stopped instantly.
"I can understand everyone's mood and plans. It is reasonable that you cannot accept it now."
Ji Jue said slowly, "Murder pays for life, debt pays for money, this is a matter of course. Even if I break the sky, I can't overturn this truth.
It's just that everyone thinks carefully and considers seriously, can the current coast pay everyone's money? Even if this broken factory is razed to the ground, and the bricks are sold one by one, how much money can it be worth?"
"Don't—"
Someone in the crowd raised his hand in anger, wanting to raise his arms and shout, but before he finished speaking, he choked, coughed violently, breathless, fell to the ground, his face flushed, purple and blue.
"Not good, it's asthma."
Ji Jue was shocked, rushed up, pushed the people around away, and checked the condition of the fallen person: "Everyone, let go, open the window, the person is about to die."
The suffocating person struggled violently, scratching, pulling Ji Jue's sleeve, making a wailing sound.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will save you."
Ji Jue smiled gently and comforted: "The hospital is too far from here, I will give you first aid, don't be afraid, I am a professional."
Saying that, he raised his hand, and slapped a few big mouths.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
But magically, at this moment, after two big slaps, the original suffocating complexion actually looked better, the chest had ups and downs, and a breath was exhaled.
"Effective, really effective!!!"
People next to him didn't even have time to be stunned, and were shocked by reality.
What a powerful first aid method!
Factory Manager Ji, come on! ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
