Hearing that his sister might be in danger, Tang Jie's face became a bit more solemn.
After ending the call with Lin Qingxi, he made another call to Cao Yuan.
"Master Jie..."
"Old Cao, have you heard about the matter of War God Hui?"
"Yes, he's been quite active these two days!"
"Find a way to deal with him!"
"You don't need to tell me that. I'll go and trouble him tonight!"
"Yeah, just don't kill anyone!"
...
Leddy Company.
In the chairman's office.
The four suppliers had all arrived.
Liu Chen was serving tea and water, treating them warmly.
A middle-aged man with a big belly said rather impatiently, "Didn't we agree on twelve o'clock? What time is it now?"
Liu Chen glanced at the wall clock and said with an apologetic smile, "It's eleven fifty. There are still ten minutes left!"
The other suppliers rolled their eyes in speechless exasperation.
For the payment for goods, they could only endure it.
Another five minutes passed.
Li Qiushui arrived at the office with Zhou Chen.
Liu Chen quickly said, "Our chairman is here!"
The people all looked towards the door and then opened their mouths wide at the same time.
This...
He is too young
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "Sorry, I live quite far away and there was a bit of traffic on the way. I've kept you all waiting!"
"It's okay. It's not even the appointed time yet!" The middle-aged man with a big belly who had spoken just now stood up and said with a smile.
The other three suppliers also stood up one after another.
Zhou Chen's gaze swept over the several people and finally lingered for a few more seconds on the face of a middle-aged man who somewhat resembled Sun Dasheng.
Liu Chen began to introduce, "This is Zhou Chen, the new chairman of our company!"
Then he introduced the four suppliers to Zhou Chen.
First, he introduced the middle-aged man with a big belly: "This is the supplier of mobile phone screens, Wang Yongjun, the boss of Fuchang Company!"
Zhou Chen shook hands with him and said, "Hello, Boss Wang!"
Wang Yongjun beamed with smiles: "Hello, Boss Zhou. I didn't expect you to be so young!"
Zhou Chen nodded with a smile: "I'll have to ask you seniors to take good care of me in the future!"
Seeing that Zhou Chen was so polite, Wang Yongjun's smile grew even wider: "The fact that you dared to take over Wang He's mess shows that you're no ordinary person. I hope we can maintain long-term cooperation in the future!"
"We'll talk about that later!" Zhou Chen smiled in a mature and steady manner.
Liu Chen continued to introduce the next one: "This is the battery supplier, Zhou Jinbao, the boss of Jinbao Company!"
Zhou Chen stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "We have the same surname. Maybe we were from the same family in the past!"
Zhou Jinbao shook hands with Zhou Chen and said, "Hahaha, I was just about to say the same thing. Nice to meet you!"
Liu Chen then introduced a tall and thin middle-aged man: "This is the chip supplier, Sun Jiang, the boss of Fengxing Semiconductor Company."
Sun Jiang shook hands with Zhou Chen expressionlessly and quickly withdrew his hand, as if he was reluctant to deal with this young kid who hadn't even grown up completely.
Liu Chen introduced the last supplier: "This is the camera supplier, Wang Cewen, the boss of Shenju Company."
Wang Cewen shook hands with Zhou Chen politely and gently: "Hello, Boss Zhou!"
"Hello, Boss Wang!"
After shaking hands with Wang Cewen, Zhou Chen made a gesture of invitation: "Please have a seat, everyone!"
At this time, Sun Jiang casually said: "There are still many things in my company. Please settle the payment for goods to me as soon as possible, Boss Zhou, so that I can leave!"
As soon as these words came out.
The other three suppliers all glanced at Sun Jiang.
With such a bad attitude, it seems that he doesn't intend to have any further cooperation with Leddy Company.
However, on second thought, it's understandable. Fengxing Semiconductor Company is a big company with more than 2,000 employees. Most of the unbranded mobile phones on the market use their chips.
Leddy mobile phones are the lowest of the unbranded ones, so naturally they look down on cooperating with them.
"Does Boss Sun have a son named Sun Dasheng?"
Zhou Chen wasn't angry because of Sun Jiang's bad attitude. Instead, he asked about his relationship with Sun Dasheng with a smile.
Sun Jiang snorted coldly and said, "Is he worthy of being my son? My son is in Tsinghua University. Sun Dasheng is the son of my cousin!"
Zhou Chen could see that Sun Jiang was of the same ilk as his uncle and didn't have a good impression of him either. So he asked Li Qiushui, "Do you have enough cash to pay Boss Sun's payment for goods?"
"We owe the chip supplier about 650,000 yuan. I have enough cash there!"
"Take Boss Sun to settle the payment for goods!" Zhou Chen said calmly.
"Okay, sure!" Li Qiushui nodded. "Boss Sun, please come with me!"
Sun Jiang was a bit stunned.
They didn't show any courtesy to him at all?
Without his chips, how could they make mobile phones?
"Kid, you can't make mobile phones without the chips from my family!"
Sun Jiang left with a contemptuous remark, his hands clasped behind his back.
Zhou Chen sat in the chairman's chair and said with a smile, "Three bosses, let's talk about the upcoming cooperation first!"
Wang Yongjun rubbed his hands and said in a humble manner, "Boss Zhou, could you settle the payment for goods first?"
The other two bosses were also looking at Zhou Chen eagerly.
Wang Yongjun said awkwardly, "We are small companies. The benefits have been bad in recent years, and the company's capital chain is short. Moreover, this payment for goods has been owed for a long time. Only when we get the payment for goods earlier can we feel at ease!"
Although these words might make Boss Zhou unhappy, they still had to be said.
Zhou Chen picked up the landline phone, looked at the address book on the table, and dialed the extension number of the finance department.
After the phone was connected, a girl's cautious voice came from the other end: "Is... is it the chairman?"
The phone number of the chairman's office was six eights. Anyone would get nervous seeing this number.
"Ask Xu Wenwen to bring up the financial statements of the payments our company owes to the suppliers!"
"Okay, chairman!"
After hanging up the phone.
Zhou Chen looked up at the three people with embarrassed expressions and said, "Have some tea first. After you've settled the payments, we'll talk about the future cooperation!"
About five minutes later, Xu Wenwen arrived at the door of the chairman's office with the documents.
She raised her hand to knock on the door but hesitated for a long time.
This was her first time coming to the chairman's office, and she was extremely nervous.
After taking a deep breath to calm herself down, she finally knocked on the door.
A polite voice of Zhou Chen came from inside: "Please come in!"
Xu Wenwen pushed the door open and walked straight to the desk. Due to being overly nervous, her voice was a bit shaky: "Chairman... this is the detailed list of the payments our company owes to the suppliers!"
Zhou Chen pretended to look through it once and then pushed it to the three suppliers: "Please confirm it. If there's no problem, I'll write you checks!"
The three people only looked at the total amount of payment each of them was owed.
After confirming that there was no mistake, they all nodded and said there was no problem.
Zhou Chen took out the checkbook and filled in the amounts according to the debts of each company.
After getting the checks, the three of them made excuses to go to the washroom to call and check the authenticity of the checks.
After confirming that the checks were okay, they then returned to the chairman's office.
Zhou Chen was sipping his tea and said with a half-smile, "Do you feel at ease now?"
Wang Yongjun said awkwardly, "Boss Zhou, please don't take it to heart. As I said before, we are all small manufacturers. There are really too many suppliers of mobile phone accessories nowadays. We can only struggle to survive in the cracks. These hundreds of thousands may not be a big deal to you, but for us, they are life-saving money!"
Zhou Jinbao and Wang Cewen nodded in strong agreement.
Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "I can understand. It was my oversight. I didn't prioritize your matters. Now that the payments have been settled, can we discuss the future cooperation?"
