Chapter 0281 This All Happened One Hundred and Twenty Days
It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening when I walked out of the Dragon Group's secret base.
The secret base is actually in the downtown area of Longdu, but most people don’t know it, and the entrances and exits are strictly blocked and kept confidential. Only a very small number of people have the right to pass. Cui Ning returned to the ground through the secret passage. The first thing he did was not to think about going home, after all, there was nothing at home that needed to be solved by himself, and what he had to do was to go back to the company to take a look.
When the transfer at Korla Airport, Cui Ning had already contacted Su Ruoqing and Xu Tiantian again, but it was really late. When Cui Ning arrived at the company, Su Ruoqing, Xu Tiantian, He Meng, and several people in the company were sleepy and couldn't open their eyes. However, when several people saw Cui Ning, they still felt uncontrollable excitement.
Cui Ning first hugged Huaxia, He Meng came up and gave Cui Ning a hug. Although Xu Tiantian and Su Ruoqing were a little embarrassed, they also came up and hugged each other. The meeting four months later seemed like a different life.
"I didn't say clearly on the phone, what happened to the company?" Cui Ning looked at the familiar office and faced the familiar employees. He didn't have time to sigh and asked hurriedly.
A few people look at me, I look at you. He Meng said:
"Mr. Cui, you just got off the plane and haven't even returned home. Why don't you go home and rest first? What's going on tomorrow?"
"Tell me, I can't sleep even when I get home. According to the feedback from all aspects, the matter must be quite small. Let's just say it directly. If there is any problem, I will find a way to solve it."
"Mr. Cui, I heard that Dongfang Shuai, that is, the general manager of Qingning Company, is your friend," He Meng said:
"It's about him."
It turned out that in the four months since Cui Ning left, the employees always thought Cui Ning was on a business trip with other colleagues, but half a month later, five colleagues returned to the company one after another and found out that Cui Ning was missing. Then, the fire could not be kept in the paper. Then, many people, including their colleagues, also learned about this.
At first, Qingning Company was still a normal competitive method and continued to compete with Cui Ning for customers. Later, two months later, seeing that Cui Ning showed no sign of returning, Qingning Company began to use various methods more and more, including Cui Ning's close customers whom he cooperated with, all of them were in contact with each other.
In early October, major companies began to make the total budget for 2000, and 2000 was hailed as the millennium. Major brands have made some big moves, as well as new ideas and planning, so it is great good news for brand planning and consulting companies.
During the period when Cui Ning disappeared, China has been very busy and undertaken most of the company's project tasks, including Wan Xinglong, who often comes to participate in some things and is voluntarily helping.
However, the boss and partner of the company require Cui Ning to come out for a meeting and sign the meeting. Without Cui Ning, the other party’s recognition is not high, which has caused many projects to go smoothly.
At this time, Qingning Company didn't know which string was wrong. For Cui Ning's partner customers, they reported a 50% discount on advertising cooperation, not a 50% discount on advertisers' price, but a 50% discount on Cui Ning's partner price. There must be information leakage, including several employees who chose to resign. But the important thing is that customers faced a 50% discount on price, such an unprecedented temptation could not be rejected.
So far, in addition to Hailan, Noèce, Jiuzhongxianzhuang and other clients who were still working in 1999, the project progress and cooperation in 2000 next year have been almost wiped out, and some projects have not been paid due to the lack of Cui Ning's signature.
"Now, in the company's account, except for the normal salary to employees, there is only less than one million, and the salary next month is not enough," He Meng said timidly. "If you don't come back, Mr. Wan said he lent to lend money to pay the salary first, but I didn't dare to agree."
"So that's it," Cui Ning nodded. "Hailan's annual payment of tens of millions of dollars should be normal. Even if I don't sign, they will pay according to the quarter. How come they have not received the payment?"
He Meng replied:
"It is said that Hailan's overseas business was blocked, and the group's financial pressure was also relatively high. Chairman Yu contacted you many times and found you, but couldn't find you. Then he did not pay the payment in the second and third quarters, which combined was about 10 million.
There are more than 20 million yuan that benefit people, more than 8 million yuan of Hengjiweiye's remaining balance, more than 30 million yuan of Noèce's accounts payable, more than 20 million yuan of accounts payable, and the others add up to more than 10 million yuan, and the baby has 50 million yuan. The payables for these four months are almost 150 million yuan, but none of them have been received.
Our employees’ wages and daily expenses are about three million a month, and more than two million a month. When you left, you had about 100 million in cash on the company’s books, and we paid a portion of the advertising fee for the company for more than 80 million. This must be paid in advance.
Then, there is a part of the expenditure, you are some of the dividends you have assigned, and you have to reserve one or two million a month. But I heard that you are missing, they have not paid dividends in the past few months, but sooner or later they have to give them.
I heard that our company was short of funds and settled the annual expenses in advance, but it was only more than 5 million yuan, and then there was not much money in the company’s account.”
"The main reason is that I am incompetent. With next year's cooperation, Hailan said that she would continue to cooperate, and Noëce also said that there is no problem with cooperation," said Huaxia:
"The other customers, including Hengjiweiye, Huiren, Boda and other customers, were all advertised, and Qingning Company directly gave us a 50% discount on the offer. This temptation is too great, so it's all lost."
After saying that, Hua Xia lowered his head, with a very helpless expression.
"As the head of the human resources department, I also have a lot of pressure, and I can't explain to the employees. Qingning Company once again poached people with incredible salary, and a lot of employees of the company left," said Xu Tiantian:
"Actually, the other party gave us a very high salary, but we felt that the more we could not leave, we were just waiting for you, Mr. Cui, to come back."
"You have worked hard these months, I know it, and I will remember any employees who have not left. However, Qingning Company gave us a 50% discount on the quotation, plus the company's operating expenses, it must be a loss," Cui Ning said:
"I wonder what Dongfang Shuai thinks, and the total advertising costs of these companies are 200 million to 300 million in a year. Can he afford to lose?
Also, Noece shouldn’t not pay, what does Mr. Zhuang say?”
Su Ruoqing said:
"I contacted Mr. Zhuang personally, and Mr. Zhuang said that the money would not be less, but your disappearance made him feel insecure. So after paying more than 60 million for a contract of more than 60 million, they still had more than 30 million, saying that they would pay at the end of the year, which is in line with the industry rules, so we have no choice.
As expected, no call was answered.
Cui Ning ignored Dongfang Shuai and called Xiang Yuzhen the second time. I believe that he would not be able to find anyone who came back. Besides, tomorrow is Saturday, so it is okay to harass him now.
