Chapter 105 Misfortunes never come singly
"I don't particularly want to do this kind of thing. I thought it was an opportunity. Mr. Xia has a KTV decoration project, which should be at least 1.7-1.8 million yuan. I explained, "They are all friends, and the decoration profit is more than 400,000 yuan.
, enough investment, and if the management is not good, it will close down, and I won’t suffer any losses!”
"I don't object to you considering other purposes, but I firmly do not support you in running the club."
Although Ziyu disagreed, he considered my other purposes and couldn't interfere.
In the afternoon of the next day, I took the initiative to contact Mr. Zhao of the entertainment venue to discuss cooperation in detail.
I said, "Mr. Zhao, I don't care about the decoration. You will be responsible for the decoration. The total decoration should not exceed 300,000 yuan. With an investment of 150,000 yuan, I will be in place immediately."
"Mr. Qian, don't worry. My uncle is in charge. We will bear the excess. All decoration expenses will be reviewed by you and included in the cost. You are responsible for the operation. We will only arrange one financial account." Mr. Zhao said happily.
After signing the cooperation agreement, the renovation was completed in 20 days and the club began business.
I arranged for Dong Lei to be responsible for connecting with Liu Ming.
Unexpectedly, after one month of operation, the company lost more than 70,000 yuan.
I felt incredible and asked Mr. Zhao,
"Why are you losing so much? Isn't the rent 50,000? Why is it now 100,000?"
"Mr. Qian, you didn't read the cooperation agreement carefully! We each bear 50,000 yuan. Think about it, 60 yuan/square meter is more than 2,000 square meters, which is more than 100,000 yuan. Our calculation of 100,000 yuan is already the minimum. If we lose money, we will also lose money.
Half." Mr. Zhao said.
I took a closer look at the cooperation agreement, and sure enough, one of the clauses in the agreement states that Party B shall bear the rent of 50,000 yuan per month.
It is not the case that both parties A and B bear the responsibility jointly. They regret it so much that they can only accept it, admit the loss of 35,000 yuan, and continue to operate.
"Don Lei, the current rent is 100,000, not 50,000. It is normal to lose money in the first month. If you continue, you must find a way to improve your business!"
"Second brother, this Mr. Liu is not authentic! The technicians he brought are not good! They are ugly and lazy. I understand clearly. Mr. Liu gave them a guaranteed salary of 800 yuan/day, and we gave him 30,000 yuan for four technicians.
It only costs 24,000 yuan, plus his salary of 6,000 yuan. We lose money, but he still earns 30,000 yuan. How can we do this? So we lose money!"
I suddenly became furious.
"Ah! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I only got it after my salary was paid yesterday."
"Tell him to get lost! You call Liu Ming and his old cousin over immediately!" I said angrily.
They fired Liu Ming and his cousin and asked Dong Lei to recruit his own team. Dong Lei was unfamiliar with the place and had no ability to run the business. He persisted for half a year and still suffered losses.
Liqun works in exterior wall engineering. He is from Shanghai. He is a card player introduced by Ziyu's cousin. I have played cards with him several times and his branding is good.
After a few friends played cards on Saturday, Liqun said to me.
"Mr. Qian, your club is not easy to run. Rent the second floor to me. I will open a chess and card room. A group of friends play cards every day. They also give money to other places. It's really nice for my wife to have something to do, okay?
?”
"Yes! This place is in a good location and has a parking lot, so it's convenient! I'm addicted to mahjong, so I can come and join in when I have time!"
Shengwu listened with great interest.
"Yes! It's cheaper to rent it to Liqun, and it will be more convenient for us to play cards."
Shengwu is also a poker player, a partner in Ziyu's cousin's company, and works in a bank. His brother is also the leader of the district and county committee.
"It just requires a separate door, making it inconvenient to enter and exit the hall."
"This is not easy. I can just build a steel structure staircase for you next to it."
I had immediate success. I rented the second floor to Liqun, and continued to operate the first and third floors for a year. When the cooperation agreement expired, I had no choice but to close the club.
After calculation, it was a total loss of 740,000.
Xia Xibin's KTV project was also not going well. The construction contract was RMB 1.78 million, and I contracted it to the weekly workers at a 20% discount. Because General Xia's project payment was not paid in time, the project stopped working, and it was still not completed six months after it started.
On this day, Zhou Gong came to the company and said to me.
"Mr. Qian, New Year is coming soon. If Mr. Xia doesn't pay for the project, I have to stop work. The project is 70% complete, and only 400,000 has been paid now! No! It's hard to handle the workers' accounts at the end of the year."
"Yes, Zhou Gong, I understand! Mr. Xia said that he would pay 400,000 yuan last week, and if he doesn't pay, he will stop work. I support it!" I said.
The project was stopped for a week, and Xia Xibin contacted me.
"Mr. Qian, I'm sorry! My brother's investment has not been in place, and the performance theater rental is also losing money. The monthly rent is 180,000. Can you support me, don't stop the work, and insist on completing the construction!"
I will argue with reason.
"No, Mr. Xia, we have delayed two phases. The first phase is 400,000 yuan. You should pay 800,000 yuan now. How can we do the construction without payment? The Chinese New Year is coming soon. You must know that the wages of migrant workers will not be less at the end of the year. Please understand!
"
Another week later, Xia Xibin went to the company to communicate again.
"Mr. Qian, I am really helpless. Now I have found a friend who is willing to advance the funds to complete the KTV project. Look, if you don't want to continue the construction, you will leave."
"This is okay, but it must be settled! I have no objection to contacting Zhou Gong specifically!" I said, and immediately informed Zhou Gong to come to the company.
Zhou Gong arrived at the company soon and accepted Xia Xibin's request.
"I agree, but Mr. Xia, the amount of work done now must be settled and paid before I agree to withdraw, otherwise it won't work!" Zhou Gong said clearly.
"Settlement is okay! The key point is that I really can't come up with the money right now! If I can, I'll pay you to continue the construction? You don't want to pay any more."
“Mr.
Xia Xibin and Zhou Gong thought it right. It's pointless to argue, so they should talk about it first.
The two of them checked the list and went to the site to make an accounting and confirmed that the amount of completed work was 940,000 yuan, 400,000 yuan had been paid, and Xia Xibin still owed 540,000 yuan for the project.
I said: "Mr.
"Mr. Qian, I'm in real trouble right now. Please support me! I can pay for it!" Xia Xibin said, "I have to do everything possible to open my business so I can have money to pay for it!"
“Mr.
“Mr.
The two of them argued in the office for a long time, but there was still no result. I knew that Xia Xibin would definitely not be able to get the funds, so I said:
"Mr. Xia, Zhou Gong, let's do this, 540,000, plus 40,000 as expenses, you pay 200,000, let Zhou Gong take care of the workers, and there is still 380,000 to complete the half-year payment!"
Zhou Gong became anxious,
"Mr. Qian, 200,000 is not enough to cope with it, no!"
I thought about it again and said: "200,000 is not enough. My company will take 100,000. 300,000 is enough for you! I won't deduct the 200,000, and will give it all to you."
"What should I do if Boss Xia doesn't pay me when it's due? I don't care, I just ask you for money!"
Weekly workers are still worried about the later project payment.
Xia Xibin knows that it is easy to deal with me, but it is troublesome to deal with the workers.
"I will definitely only make settlements with Qian's head office. I have a contract with Qian's head office."
"Okay, I'll take it! Don't worry, Zhou Gong!" I said.
I'm not stupid if I think about it. The 100,000 that I took out now was originally the 80,000 that was deducted from the previous 400,000. The profit due for the 940,000 project amount is 235,000. Of course, the 40,000 plus expenses are not for weekly work. The 380,000 owed is 275,000.
If it is the company's profit, Xia Xibin can pay more than 100,000 yuan for half a year, but the weekly labor cost is only 100,000 yuan. It should all be the company's profit. The matter must be solved, and this is the only way to deal with it.
Xia Xibin and Zhou Gong accepted it, and I asked Xia Xibin to write an IOU. Xia Xibin was still arrogant and agreed to pay 180,000 yuan, but owed 400,000 yuan, so it was settled.
I never thought that my cleverness would be mistaken for me!
