"Let's all go inside."
Wei Hao's uncle-in-law finally couldn't stand it anymore and invited him into the factory office to sit.
The sparrow may be small, but it has all the vital organs. Accountant, deputy director, workshop director, sales director, all present. However, they were all relatives of Wei Hao's aunt's family, and many only clocked in and never showed up.
Xie Sui sat behind the desk, looking through the factory's accounts, and remained silent for a long time.
Wei Hao said casually, "Brother Xie, are there any problems? Tell me, I'll fix them immediately. My plan is definitely profitable this year, and we'll break even next year. Isn't this speed fast enough?" Su Dan Fiction Network.
Xie Sui sighed, looking at him as if he were an idiot, unsure if he was genuinely ignorant or just taking him for a fool.
"It's good. Let's talk about the production line first. Uncle Lin, how soon can it be ready at the earliest?"
Wei Hao's uncle-in-law's surname was Lin, and his name was Lin Weiguo. He looked troubled. "I'll need to call in many favors. There'll be a lot of expenses involved in greasing the wheels. You see..."
Xie Sui's face turned cold, and he stood up. "Hey, Comrade Lin, I'm giving you an opportunity, don't waste it. I can let Wei Hao use his money to start a factory, so I'm not afraid of you playing dirty tricks.
Spit out everything you've taken from me. If you think you can fool me, Xie Sui, you have no idea what I'm capable of."
Lin Weiguo's eyes flickered. "Xiao Xie, I don't understand what you're talking about. Have I deceived you? The accounts are clear, everything is proper. My wife and I have worked tirelessly for this factory, running ourselves ragged. You can't accuse us like this!"
Wei Hao was stunned. Did Brother Xie mean his uncle-in-law embezzled money?
How could that be?
"Brother Xie, is there a misunderstanding?"
Xie Sui said, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I know in my heart. Mr. Lin, I don't mind telling you that this factory is affiliated with a state-owned enterprise, and I am currently the director of that state-owned enterprise.
Do you understand what that means? It means that if you embezzle my money, you are embezzling state assets, which is a crime and punishable by imprisonment."
Lin Weiguo's expression finally changed. "Who are you kidding? How old are you to be a director?"
"I'm not very capable, and I'm not the director of a large factory, just a director of a pickle factory. But it is indeed a state-owned enterprise, with cooperation from the government.
I'm giving you a chance. I'm taking the production line with me, and you won't get a penny. All of you get out of my factory. I'm giving you three days, or we'll meet in court."
Xie Sui was about to leave, but Lin Weiguo blocked his path. "Xiao Xie, you're young and impetuous. I understand. Can we negotiate this matter?"
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Weiguo said, "I'll help you buy the production line, but you pay for it. Name your price for this factory, and then we'll go our separate ways. What do you say?"
"Not interested." Xie Sui said coldly, "Don't treat me like an idiot. You want to use my money and my technology to pave the way for yourself? Are you dreaming before sunset?"
"Do you have to fall out completely? Don't forget whose territory this is. If you want to cause trouble at my doorstep, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Lin Weiguo finally showed his true colors. Deep down, he wasn't afraid of Xie Sui. As an outsider, without his own connections, Xie Sui couldn't accomplish anything.
Wei Hao anxiously said, "Don't argue, let's talk things through."
Xie Sui also got angry. "You're the one acting unethically. If you turn your back on me, can you afford it? It seems there's nothing more to discuss. We'll meet in court."
Lin Weiguo sneered, "Go to court? You're involved too. Don't forget we're partners. If my hands aren't clean, are yours?"
Xie Sui: "You seem to know quite a bit, but I forgot to tell you, the legal representative of this factory is Wei Hao. He'll be held responsible if anything goes wrong. I'm just an investor, as per the contract we signed. You two, aunt and nephew, can fight it out. If you want to send Wei Hao to jail, feel free to continue."
Lin Weiguo's pupils contracted. Had he planned his escape route from the beginning? Was he so calculating?
Xie Sui was calm and collected, which made Lin Weiguo uneasy. Finally, Wei Hao's aunt intervened, "Everyone, calm down, let's talk. Don't say anything hurtful. Old Lin, what are you saying about falling out? It's such a great karmic connection for our Haozi to cooperate with Xiao Xie!"
Wei Hao was dazed, and his aunt made him sit down. Xie Sui sat opposite them, his face cold, waiting to see what Wei Hao's aunt would say.
Wei Hao's aunt said, "It all comes down to money. Xiao Xie, we admit we've been taking salaries and kickbacks, but it wasn't much, only a few thousand yuan. If you ask us to get you a production line, we can't afford it even if we sell everything. This is leaving us no way to live. You can't be so ruthless!"
Xie Sui was so angry he almost laughed. In the end, he was the heartless one, resorting to moral blackmail!
"Aunt Wei, we're all adults. You need to take responsibility for your actions. Don't you understand such a simple principle? It's not that I'm not giving you a way to live, it's that you're digging your own graves, and I'm just fulfilling your wish.
How about this, I'll take a step back. Whatever price you can get the production line for, I'll pay for it. Return all the embezzled money from the factory, and then withdraw from the factory. This is your last resort."
The two of them looked displeased. Wei Hao's aunt finally said, "I won't hide it from you. The production line costs at least 40,000 yuan, and that's with our connections. The factory didn't earn much either, just a few thousand yuan. I'll give it all to you; consider it our hard work."
"Do you think I've never run a factory before? There's no money left on the books, besides what the factory earned, there's also the initial capital brought in for setting up the factory. There should be a surplus of at least 20,000 yuan. Don't try to fool me. If you don't want to honestly return it to me, we'll meet in court."
"You, don't keep mentioning court, okay? We worked hard for nothing!"
"Otherwise? You had a golden opportunity to make money and instead you tried to cut corners and thought you were clever. It's already generous that I haven't sent you to jail, and you still dare to cry injustice?"
Xie Sui felt he had already been very merciful. Reborn, he had the magnanimity of an old man from his previous life. If he had the mindset of someone his current age, he would definitely bleed these two dry.
Lin Weiguo said coldly, "Do you want to burn all bridges?"
Xie Sui lost his patience and stood up to leave. "There's nothing more to say. Wait for the police to find you."
"Wait, Xiao Xie, we'll give the money. We'll give it back, okay?"
Lin Weiguo was very unconvinced. "Without our support, your factory won't be able to operate in this county. I guarantee you won't make a single penny!"
"Threatening me!"
Xie Sui's eyes narrowed, and he said to Wei Hao, "It's not that I'm not giving you face, it's that they are too ungrateful. That's it. You'll bear the consequences yourselves."
Wei Hao chased after him. "Brother Xie, I really didn't know..."
"I entrusted you to be in charge here, not to tell me you didn't know. You are the legal representative. You should be clear about everything in the factory. What are you thinking about all day?
You're beyond redemption, you've disappointed me too much."
