Chapter 636: Tragic Chang Zheng
Chapter 636 Tragic Chang Zheng
Zhou An asked Zhao Gan to contact Chang Zheng, while he drove straight to the Changqing medicinal material processing factory.
In front of the Changqing Medicinal Materials Processing Factory, Zhou An saw the factory director Chang Zheng, who was not yet forty years old, but the decadence in his eyes was like that of an old man in his eighties or nineties, smoking a cigarette and feeling lonely and exhausted.
Chang Zheng shook hands with Zhou An, and immediately said:
"You are the Mr. Zhou An that Mr. Zhao said, right? Let me tell you about the situation of the factory first. The factory's assembly line machines are worth 4 million yuan, and other supporting measures and raw materials are worth 2 million yuan."
"They are all new machines that have been used for less than four years, and the wear and tear is very small. If you sincerely want me and don't ask for extravagant prices, I will handle all four million for you."
Hearing Chang Zheng's words, Zhou An couldn't help but raise his brows slightly, and said in confusion, "Before I came here, I made a special inquiry. How can your factory sell for five million yuan, and you can sell it for four million yuan at a low price?"
Hearing Zhou An's words, Chang Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly:
"I'm not mistaken. You are indeed different from those businessmen who only know how to bargain hard. I will not hide it from you. I owe all the employees in the factory a full salary of 3.5 million."
"Those old brothers can trust me. They clearly know that the factory is short of funds and will not be able to continue. They still trust me. They have worked for me for nearly a year and have not received half a dime. The holiday is coming soon and I have to settle it. Although I often lose my business, my character cannot be defeated!"
Chang Zheng's words are not loud, but they are powerful.
After the two signed the contract, Zhou An couldn't help but feel a little more admiration in his heart. He looked at Chang Zheng and said, "That's enough man! But according to Mr. Zhao, you are very shrewd in business. It took five years to transform from a rural worker to a After becoming a successful entrepreneur, how did you end up in this kind of world?"
Chang Zheng let out a long sigh: "It's a usury loan. Once I was short of funds and decided to take a risk. I thought I could pay it back, but who knew that I made a wrong step..."
Zhou An immediately understood, "Boss Chang, what are your plans for the future?"
Chang Zheng threw the cigarette **** on the ground, crushed it with his feet, and sighed: "Pay the wages to the old brothers, and then go back to your hometown to farm. I have nothing left after a loan shark."
Zhou An pondered for a moment and said, "Would you like to work under me? I'll hire you as the factory director with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan. I've always been a shopkeeper."
Hearing Zhou An's words, Chang Zheng's eyes flashed with excitement, and his voice trembled: "You, are you really willing to hire me, a loser, to continue to be the factory director?!"
Zhou An smiled lightly and said, "Why not? It's not a problem with your management. I believe you will not repeat the same mistakes."
Chang Zheng burst into tears, and said gratefully: "Thank you Mr. Zhou! Oh no, thank you boss! I would like to invite you to my house for a light meal, if you don't mind..."
Zhou An interrupted Chang Zheng's words, patted Chang Zheng's shoulder and said, "Let's go, I happen to be a little hungry too."
Under the respectful guidance of Chang Zheng, Zhou An came to the home of Chang Zheng's old community.
When I opened the door, I saw a middle-aged woman holding a little girl with twin ponytails, with a simple and down-to-earth appearance.
Chang Zheng introduced: "This is my mother-in-law Wang Fang, and my daughter Chang Jie."
"Baby's father, this is..." Wang Fang hugged her daughter and looked at Zhou An with a puzzled face.
Chang Zheng looked at Zhou An with gratitude and said, "This is our family's benefactor and my future boss. He bought the factory and hired me as the factory manager with an annual salary of 100,000!"
"Thank you so much, benefactor. I'm afraid that Chang Zheng won't be able to think about it. Aside from our mother's suicide, he is going crazy because of the business torture! Your kindness to our family is so great, I, I kowtow to you!" Wang Fang was shocked and frightened. Xi is about to kneel down to Zhou An.
"According to your age, you are my elder. If you kowtow to me, you will shorten my life." Zhou An couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly helped Wang Fang up.
Wang Fang looked at Zhou An with a grateful face and said, "I was the one who was abrupt, please wait a moment, I will give you a whole table of hard dishes, thank you thank you!"
Bang At this moment, the door was kicked open, and a group of strong men holding steel pipes broke into the house, looking at Chang Zheng with a sneer:
"What? I heard that Boss Chang has sold the factory? Then it's time to pay us back the money we owe us!"
"That's right! Boss Chang, we haven't come to trouble you for so long. To be a human being, you still have to know what's good!"
Chang Zheng's face turned red and purple, and he suppressed his anger and said: "I, I have obviously returned the principal to you, and I have also given you the interest ten times higher than the bank, do you insist on forcing me to death? "
A group of strong men sneered:
"Huh? You won't die, so what does that have to do with us!"
"That's right, we only know that debt repayment is justified, according to the contract, you can pay us back the four million we lost!"
Zhou An glanced at the strong men, and said coldly: "Don't you know that the interest of usury is against the king's law? Brother Chang Zheng has paid back the principal, and the interest is not less. You should be satisfied!"
Hearing Zhou An's words, all the strong men sneered:
"Wang Fa? In the XC area, my fists are Wang Fa!"
"If you have the guts, let him try without giving money? I told his family to be ruined!"
"This little girl is really pretty, I scratched her face today to let you know that I am amazing!"
After finishing speaking, the strong man snatched the little loli Chang Jie from Wang Fang's hand, and with a grinning grin, he took out his knife and was about to strike.
Seeing this scene, Chang Zheng's eyes were tearing apart, and Wang Fang was terrified.
At the most critical moment for little Lolita, Zhou An grabbed the right hand of the strong man holding the knife like iron tongs, broke his bones with a click, and beat all the strong men with three punches and two feet so that they couldn't get up.
"Touch your head, touch your head, don't be afraid." Zhou An hugged Chang Jie and patted her small head to comfort her.
"Thank you uncle! Xiaojie is not afraid." The little loli Chang Jie spoke stubbornly, but her big eyes were full of fear.
Zhou An smiled, and handed Chang Jie to Chang Zheng and his wife.
A group of strong men looked at Zhou An and laughed grimly:
"Little bastard, you are really daring! You dare to hurt us, you are finished! Don't think that you can do anything if you can fight, we are the gang of greedy wolves!"
"Our boss is Brother Mazi! Brother Mazi, you know that he is a relative of Wei Hong, and it is easier to kill you than to crush an ant!"
"Oh? Brother Mazi..." Thinking of the guy who was taught by him like a dead dog, Zhou An directly called Wei Hong.
Wei Hong's awe-inspiring voice came from the other side of the phone: "I don't know what orders you have from Dr. Zhou? Wei will definitely do his best!"
Zhou An got straight to the point, and said in a cold voice: "I'm in Fuqiang Community, XC District. The head of a household is Chang Zheng's home. You ask your brother-in-law to come, I have something to see him!"
After Zhou An finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
Seeing Zhou An calling and causing a group of strong men to misunderstand, they looked at Zhou An and sneered again and again.
