When Mother Wu found out that something had happened to her, she had not seen him for a few days. She was extremely worried. She called him a few times, but Wu Tian kept explaining that he was with a friend and would not go back for the time being. Mother Wu was very suspicious. Moreover, Wu Tian was also worried about the factory.
For the past three days, Wu Tian had been in pain but also happy. Geng Miake had prepared meals for him every day and brought them over. She was completely like a girlfriend-to-be. She spoke softly and her body was surrounded by fragrance. Wu Tian, that scoundrel, had enjoyed his time with women. However, Wu Tian could not stand being beaten up one after another every day.
The next day, Liao Yue came to visit Wu Tian, bought some things, and left. They had already bought the tickets and still had to rush back to school. Wu Tian was fine, and Liao Yue left happily. The follow-up matters had already been arranged. Zhang Dashi would be detained for violent hooligans, robbery, rape, and assault. He would probably be detained for several crimes and would not be able to get out of prison for less than 20 years.
Three days later, Wu Tian was finally discharged from the hospital. When he returned to the factory, the wound on his head, the cast on his arm, and the grinding teeth of a wounded soldier gave Mother Wu a shock. Which mother did not love her son? When she saw her precious son's state, she could not help but cry. She first asked about him with concern. After understanding the situation, she could not help but curse those hooligans. Then, she persuaded Wu Tian. Seeing his mother's nervous and distressed look, Wu Tian felt sour. He felt that it was really unfilial to make his mother worry. Therefore, no matter how his mother scolded him, his attitude of admitting his mistakes was still very good. Mother Wu did not pursue the matter further. She still wanted to buy some nutritious food to help her son recover quickly. In the end, she was just worried about her son.
At this time, things in the factory were still going according to plan. The news about the wine cellar in Guzhu Country had already spread like wildfire.
Everyone gathered in the conference room and looked at the sample bottle that Wu Huansheng had brought back. They felt like they were admiring a work of art. Everyone revealed an excited expression. Even the calm Wu Tian felt his blood boiling.
The appearance of the wine bottle was not very complicated. It was round at the bottom and had a swan neck at the top. From afar, it looked like a swan. Wu Tian had plagiarized a wine bottle from a famous brand in the future, and now it was a special wine bottle for his own winery. Just the image of the wine bottle alone was half the winery's success. When everyone had admired it enough and went back to work, the family of three in the office continued their discussion.
Mother Wu still couldn't come back to her senses and said,"Is it really our winery's wine bottle? It was so beautiful. Isn't it a pity to store wine? I think it can be used as a vase!”
The Wu father and son did not know whether to laugh or cry. Why did Wu Tian coax his mother away? Who knew what kind of classic quote the old lady would come up with later?
When the father and son were left in the room, Wu Huansheng asked,""Have you settled everything? There won't be any future troubles, right?"
Wu Tian knew that Wu Huansheng had found out about him. He couldn't hide this from Wu Huansheng. Wu Tian didn't plan to hide it either. He used Liao Kai's connections and Lu Zhanjun's help. How could these people not inform Wu Huansheng?
Wu Tian nodded and said," No problem. Zhang Dashi won't be able to come out for more than ten years. Even if he comes out, his hands and feet are all crippled. He's also a cripple. His family is all ordinary people. They don't usually have a good relationship with him, so no one will come forward. His wife is a loyal person. I asked Sansuo to do it. I didn't ask for the details, but I believe he can do it."”
Wu Huansheng looked deeply at Wu Tian and said,""What did that young man do?”
He was asking about the person who crippled Zhang Dashi. If this person was not dealt with properly, it would be a huge hidden danger.
Wu Huansheng heaved a sigh of relief after Wu Tian explained his arrangements. This matter was neither too big nor too small. It would depend on how it was dealt with. If Zhang Dashi was not crippled, it would not be difficult to deal with him. Wu Huansheng did not expect Wu Tian to be so ruthless. He had ordered someone to break all the tendons in Zhang Dashi's hands and feet. He was worried that this would implicate Wu Tian. As for the life and death of Zhang Dashi and his wife, Wu Huansheng did not care at all. They were not important compared to Wu Tian's safety. It seemed that Wu Tiandao had handled it well.
Wu Huansheng asked about the situation at the factory and knew that everything was going according to the father and son's plan. Now that the wine bottles had been made and the raw materials had been purchased, they could resume production immediately.
Wu Tian thought of the new trademark and asked about the printing process. Wu Tian had originally planned to have the printing factory in the provincial capital print the new trademark. Wu Huansheng felt that it was unnecessary, so he contacted the local printing factory in Qingying City. As for the specific printing results, there had been no results.
Wu Huansheng was also a little worried when Wu Tian asked that question today. Wu Tian's hand was injured and he couldn't drive. Wu Huansheng drove Wu Tian to the printing factory to take a look at the finished product.
On the way there, Wu Tian said," Dad, I think you should change your car. You're a big boss now and a celebrity in Green Camp. It's not a good idea to sit on a 'whore' all day."”
Wu Huansheng shook his head. Although the logo wasn't a very good car, the quality was still good. Besides, the factory hadn't started yet, and there were many places that needed money. He should save as much as he could.”
Wu Tian disagreed." Dad, you're wrong. We Chinese all care about our reputation. A car is just a facade. If you drive a logo, people will still think that you're a small boss. This car is even more unpresentable when you go out to do business. Others didn't know your strength. If you had ten million, you would treat it as if you had a million. Some big bosses would have some doubts about working with you. What would others think if you drove a car worth a million dollars? Regardless of whether you had money or not, we had to let others know that we had money and that we were not short of money. This way, some things would be easier to handle.”
When Wu Huansheng heard Wu Tian's words, his heart wavered. He asked,"Wouldn't that be a little too ostentatious?”
"Dad, what we need now is to show off, not keep a low profile." Wu Tian smiled. "We've acquired Runliang Winery. I don't know how many people are waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves. I reckon that there's a rumor going around that our family has already sold everything. When we're doing well, we'll be fine. However, if the factory is in trouble, someone will jump out and watch us. At that time, it won't be easy for us to borrow some money for emergencies. If we buy a good car now, who would say that? Who would believe that we have no money? I'm afraid no one would believe you even if you go out and say that. This is the effect of being ostentatious.”
Wu Huansheng thought about it and felt that what Wu Tian said made sense. However, when he thought of the money on hand, he said with some doubt,"Xiao Tian, I haven't finished the few projects I contracted. Although I don't need to pay in advance, I don't have much cash on hand. Buying wineries, custom-made wine bottles, buying raw materials, and counting all the mess, I only have 400,000 to 500,000 left. According to what you said, if I change to a good car, I won't have any money left.”
Wu Tian knew that Wu Huansheng was telling the truth. He thought for a moment and said,"It's okay. Dad, change your car first. If you don't have much money, change to an Audi first. No matter what, it's a government car. As for the money, there's plenty of it in the bank. We have such a big factory, how can we not bring out the money?”
When Wu Huansheng heard the word " loan ", he was a little suspicious. In the past few years, Wu Huansheng had taken out many loans. Sometimes, he even took out loans to pay the workers 'salaries. It was easy to earn money, so he had never taken the interest of the loans seriously. It was only after Wu Tian reminded him that he had lost more than 100,000 yuan in interest over the years. Now that he mentioned the loan, Wu Huansheng frowned.
Wu Tian knew Wu Huansheng's concerns and said,""Dad, taking out loans now is different from lending money to workers back then.”
Wu Huansheng nodded and asked,""How is it different? Tell me.”
Wu Tian said,"At that time, your loan was to pay the wages of the migrant workers. This shouldn't have been our problem, but we took it on. It affected our interests." The current situation is that we are in the golden period of development. At this time, the most important thing is to expand production. Don't let the problem of funds affect our plans. The future situation can basically be foreseen. As long as our wine is produced, the sales situation will be good. The difficulty we face is not sales, but production. "If we don't have enough funds as a guarantee and prepare enough raw materials, when the winery is booming, it's very likely that the price of raw materials will rise because of the popularity of the winery. This price difference may far exceed the interest of our loan.”
Hearing Wu Tian's words, Wu Huansheng understood. One was to lend money to others and make himself suffer. The other was to lend money to himself and make others suffer. The choice was too obvious.
The father and son didn't continue discussing this issue. They had already said what they needed to say. The rest was up to Wu Huansheng's choice. However, Wu Huansheng had started from scratch and had already made his choice.
When they arrived at the printing factory, the father and son felt that something was wrong. The factory was in a mess, as if there was another meeting. After stopping the car, Wu Tian asked the security guard of the printing factory and found out what was going on.
It turned out that some time ago, the printing factory had received a few orders through the arrangement of the municipal party committee. Two of them were relatively large. One was to print test papers and materials for the primary and secondary schools in the city, which was handed over by the municipal education bureau. The other was to print the trademark for Runliang Winery. These two jobs were big jobs, especially the trademark of Runliang Winery. They had strict requirements for the quality of the paper printed. They had even signed a special contract for this. The regulations were very strict.
On the side of Runliang Winery, Mother Wu transferred some deposit over. After the printing was done, she would settle the bill in one go. The requirements of the Education Bureau were not strict. The price was high and the quality was low. It was a lucrative job. The only problem was that the payment was slow, not to mention the deposit.
The printing factory had been poorly managed for the past two years. If not for these hard tasks, it would have stopped production long ago. Everyone was very happy that Runliang Winery suddenly had an unexpected windfall. In addition, Mother Wu had revealed that Runliang Winery had to make a lot of gift boxes in addition to the logo. These prints would also be handed over to the printing company in the future. Everyone was motivated and waiting to start work.
However, half a month had passed, and the raw materials had yet to arrive. The workers became anxious and found the workshop director. The workshop director contacted the factory manager and accountant who went to enter the materials, but he could not contact them. After a few days, he still could not contact the factory manager and accountant. Naturally, they could not start work. The workers felt that something was wrong, so they made a fuss in the factory today.
When Wu Tian told Wu Huansheng about this, Wu Huansheng was a little dumbfounded. Back then, Wu Tian had opposed handing the trademark to the printing company in the city for printing, afraid that their quality would not be up to standard. Now, before the printing could be done, the factory manager and accountant had disappeared. The winery was about to start production soon, and everything was ready. Now that there was a problem, Wu Huansheng did not know what to do.
At the thought of this, Wu Huansheng couldn't help but give Liao Kai a call. It was Liao Kai who suggested that Wu Huansheng hand the trademark over to the printing company. There had to be an explanation for the current situation.
The call went through and a hoarse voice could be heard on the other end. There was also a clamor coming from the other end.
"Boss Wu, why are you calling?" Liao Kai asked in a low voice.”
Hearing Liao Kai's words, Wu Huansheng knew that there was someone close to Liao Kai, and it was likely to be his leader. He said,"Chief Liao, I'm at the entrance of the city printing factory now. What's the situation now? Back then, the city promised me that there would be no problem handing it over to the city printing company. That's why I handed it over.”
Liao Kai, who was on the other end of the phone, couldn't help but praise him. As expected of a brother who had been with him for so many years. He understood his intentions too well. He didn't hang up the phone and seemed to be talking to the person beside him. After a while, Liao Kai said,"Boss Wu, I'm currently accompanying Chief Geng to deal with the matters of the printing factory. Someone will bring you in later, and Chief Geng will tell you the details when we meet.”
After hanging up the phone, Wu Huansheng told Wu Tian about the situation. Wu Tian smiled bitterly and said,""Dad, I'm afraid that the owner of the winery and the accountant have absconded with the money. Our deposit is gone.”
Wu Huansheng frowned. If the situation was really as Wu Tian had said, he might not be able to get his money back. Even if he could get it back, it would not be something that could be done in a short period of time. Not to mention this, the most important thing was that it affected the entire plan of the winery. It seemed that he should have listened to Wu Tian back then.
