"What kind of help?"
"What? Deducted from my salary?"
"No problem!"
...
These were the responses of the three people before him as soon as Wang Yu spoke.
No one expected that Jin Xiuxian, who looked the most delicate, would directly and without hesitation reply with "No problem," without even inquiring about Wang Yu's conditions.
Her father, Jin Changming, however, still asked with a hint of doubt and hesitation.
As for Brother Hu, he asked why this 80,000 yuan had to be deducted from his salary.
"Nonsense, you're being benevolent and asking me to cover for you. Do you think there's such a good thing?"
Wang Yu said irritably, "Besides, isn't it just a debt? Can't you go after Zhao Guozhu to reclaim it?"
Right! I can still go after Zhao Guozhu to reclaim it!
Brother Hu's eyes immediately lit up. How could he forget about this?
Wait, the young factory manager lent money to Old Jin, and then this money is accounted for under my Hu's name. Doesn't that mean Old Jin owes me, Hu, money?
Then Zhao Guozhu, that grandson, owes Old Jin that... that interest thing, anyway, it's money, doesn't that mean Zhao Guozhu owes me money?
Brother Hu calculated with his not-so-sharp brain. It seemed to make sense.
Damn it, this grandson dares to owe me, Hu, money? No, I must get it back!
In this day and age, no one owes me, Brother Hu, money and gets away with it!
Feeling that he had figured everything out, Brother Hu immediately became agitated, already visualizing his debt collection plan in his mind.
Meanwhile, Wang Yu turned his gaze to Jin Changming, a smile on his face. "It's nothing much, just a very simple request. Since you're in the business of代理 excavators, how about you become an agent for my car factory? I'll give you a fair cooperation opportunity, and I won't owe any funds. What do you say? This request isn't difficult, is it?"
"Ah?"
Both Jin Changming and his daughter were stunned by the smiling Wang Yu. They hadn't expected him to make such a request.
They had already prepared themselves mentally for terms like "borrow nine, return thirteen," especially when lending such a large sum to a stranger.
However, Wang Yu wasn't Huang Shiren, and they weren't Yang Bailao and Xi'er. They could hardly believe Wang Yu's request.
Someone was actually willing to proactively supply them?
"We're just small business owners," Jin Changming asked Wang Yu incredulously.
"I know. But I must inform you that I deal with all suppliers on a cash-on-delivery basis. I won't treat you any differently just because you're small business owners.
However, I can promise to be fair and just with you, and all promises will be kept. Of course, if you're not willing, I won't force you; the loan will still be valid."
Wang Yu said with a smile, then casually placed a hand under his chin, "So, what do you think?"
"This, I'll consider..."
Before Jin Changming could finish speaking, his daughter Jin Xiuxian directly interrupted him, "No problem, we would be delighted if a manufacturer were willing to supply us fairly!"
"Good, you have courage!"
Wang Yu smiled slightly, then extended his hand. "Pleasure doing business with you!"
"Pleasure doing business with you!"
Their palms clasped together, and Wang Yu immediately arranged for someone to withdraw the money for Brother Hu.
The money would naturally go to Brother Hu, letting him show off and be a hero in front of the young lady. As for this sum... 80,000 yuan, not a small amount, but not excessive either.
Wang Yu believed Brother Hu would find a way to get it back, and it would be a good opportunity to cause some trouble for Zhao Guozhu.
Wang Yu thought with delight.
"Uh, Director Wang, may I ask a question?"
Seeing that his mother's surgery fees were secured, Jin Xiuxian was truly relieved. Relaxed, she asked Wang Yu.
"Hm? What question?"
Wang Yu gave Jin Xiuxian a gesture to speak freely, then casually picked up his teacup.
"Please forgive my ignorance, but I've never heard of your car factory's excavators before. What models do you have, and what are the specific configurations and prices?"
Jin Xiuxian's questions were very professional: models, configurations, prices, much like asking about a potential partner's housing, car, and salary during a matchmaking session.
"You're asking about that?" Wang Yu shrugged, continuing to drink his tea without looking up. "Not yet. Our products haven't officially gone into production."
"Oh? So it's just in the initial market planning stage? It's no wonder you'd approach small businesses like us. But I believe with Director Wang's capabilities, even with just one or two experimental models, you'll be able to develop the market with ease."
Jin Xiuxian nodded, speaking as if it were obvious, and even paid Wang Yu a compliment.
"Not exactly. We haven't even gotten around to the experimental models yet," Wang Yu said again.
"Ah?" Jin Xiuxian was slightly stunned, then forced a smile. "Actually, the market research stage is fine too. We can adjust according to market demand at any time, as a small boat is easier to steer."
"Well, we're not even at that stage yet," Wang Yu added, leaving Jin Xiuxian completely bewildered.
"Ah? What stage are you at then?" Jin Xiuxian asked incredulously.
"We're still in the nascent stage."
"What stage is the nascent stage?"
"It's when I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I heard you were agents for excavators just now, so I decided to go for it," Wang Yu said slowly. "But don't worry, in three... well, I've got a lot going on lately, but within a week at most, I'll be able to draw up the design for the first product."
"You don't even have a sketch?" Jin Xiuxian's voice suddenly rose by an octave.
"Hm? What's wrong? Don't worry, I'll be very fast. I'll get everything sorted out quickly." Wang Yu said calmly, continuing to drink his tea.
Brother Hu also nodded along, as if it were natural. That's right, the young factory manager is always fast, he could attest to that... Huh? Does this statement sound a bit odd? Pfft!
"I... forget it!"
Jin Xiuxian slumped back weakly. She suddenly felt exhausted and didn't want to talk to Wang Yu and Brother Hu anymore. Was it really feasible to place their hopes on such unreliable people?
Fortunately, before Jin Xiuxian could worry or fret for long, the 80,000 yuan was delivered.
A thick stack of cash, like a heavy, oversized brick, was placed before them, immediately causing the Jin father and daughter to cry with excitement. The surgery had hope!
"Alright, go and handle the surgery procedures for your mother first. After all, saving a life is urgent. We'll discuss the rest later. If you have any issues, you can contact Brother Hu first. If he can't handle it, he'll come to me."
Wang Yu instructed with a smile, giving Brother Hu a chance to impress the young lady. Whether he could seize it or not was his own business! This was all he could do!
Strange? Why, even though I'm several years younger than Brother Hu, do I have this feeling of an elder looking at a junior?
Wang Yu muttered to himself, then sent Brother Hu and his group away. Just as he was about to rest, he was interrupted by a clamor of noisy shouts.
"Beat Wang Yu to death, you scoundrel!"
"Wang Yu, you shameless fellow, get out here!"
"Let's all go and drag Wang Yu out!"
...
Accompanied by a string of curses, an enraged crowd rushed towards Wang Yu.
