"General Manager Sun, what does General Manager Li want to do?"
"Yeah, he said nine o 'clock. Look at the time now. Is he messing with us?"
"General Manager Sun, can General Manager Li come or not? If not, you can open it for General Manager Li! "
"Everyone, don't force General Manager Sun. General Manager Sun's leg injury hasn't healed yet. Let General Manager Sun rest."
…
When Li Dong arrived, the banquet hall was in a mess.
Sun Tao was in a wheelchair and couldn't walk away because he was stuck in the middle of the road.
Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more crowded, Li Dong shouted with a cold expression, "What are you all doing!"
Hearing the voice, everyone quickly turned around. When they saw that it was Li Dong, some of the suppliers who knew Li Dong immediately greeted him with a smile, "Manager Li, you're here."
Li Dong nodded and frowned, "Everyone, go back to your seats. We'll talk later."
Someone wanted to say something but was stopped by someone they knew.
There was no need to stand out at this time. There was no benefit in offending Li Dong.
After all, they were all adults and the elites of society. The crowd quickly dispersed and returned to their seats.
Li Dong signaled Liu Qi to leave and personally pushed Sun Tao to the front.
Seeing Sun Tao's confusion, Li Dong patted him on the shoulder and nodded slightly.
Sun Tao's mood immediately relaxed, and his tense nerves also relaxed.
Because he didn't sleep for the whole night and his injury hadn't healed, Sun Tao almost collapsed on the wheelchair when he relaxed.
Li Dong helped him up. His heart was sour. To be honest, he couldn't compare to Sun Tao in terms of contribution to the supermarket.
Sun Tao had put too much effort into this.
If Far away really collapsed, the one who would be hurt the most would not be Li Dong, but Sun Tao.
Without saying anything else, Li Dong took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the people in the hall.
There were quite a lot of suppliers today. So far away from the six stores, there were close to fifty to sixty suppliers.
Seeing that Li Dong was looking over, the discussion below the stage gradually died down until it was inaudible.
Between the supermarkets and the suppliers, the supermarkets always had the upper hand. If it wasn't for the rumor that Li Dong had touched their payment, these suppliers wouldn't be so aggressive.
However, with the might of a fallen tiger, until the very last moment, no one could guarantee that Far away would be finished.
Far away, if they still had money and survived this crisis, they would be the unlucky ones.
It wasn't that Li Dong was taking revenge on them, but without a big client like Far Away, their losses were not small.
In business, no one was willing to go against money.
Seeing that everyone had quietened down, Li Dong chuckled and said, "I'm sure everyone knows why I've invited everyone here today."
No one responded and no one made a sound.
Li Dong didn't mind and continued, "Right now, there are rumors saying that I, Li Dong, have touched your payment …"
At this point, Li Dong paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping across the audience.
Seeing that someone was about to make a move, Li Dong smiled and pointed at the boss who was about to speak, "CEO Qin, if you have any doubts, just say it!"
The supplier who was pointed out saw everyone looking at him, and his expression was a bit conflicted, but he still said, "General Manager Li said it's a rumor, but how come I heard it's the truth?"
"Oh? I don't know who you heard it from, but if you don't mind, can you tell me? Other than me and CEO Sun, only Director Liu knows if it's the payment. Did CEO Sun or Director Liu tell you? "
Embarrassment flashed across Mr. Qin's face, and he forced a smile and said, "General Manager Li, I think you know better than us whether it's the truth or not."
Seeing that Li Dong didn't say anything, Mr. Qin said again, "We're not forcing General Manager Li to give us an explanation, but after all, it involves tens of millions of yuan. But after all, it involves tens of millions of yuan. Boss Li should at least inform us if he has used it or not, don't you think so? "
"Mr. Qin is right, General Manager Li. It doesn't matter if you have hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan in your business, but for us, one million is an astronomical figure. But for us, even a million is an astronomical figure. If it's really gone, we might not even be able to continue operating the factory. "
After Mr. Qin finished speaking, someone else added.
Li Dong smiled and said lightly, "I said it hasn't been touched, so it hasn't been touched. It's not like you're missing a penny. Forgive me, I don't understand what you're worried about."
As soon as he said this, many people were speechless.
Far away had indeed spent a lot of money, and it was common knowledge in the industry to hold back the payment. Unless they didn't want to cooperate with Far Away anymore, they wouldn't be able to find an excuse.
Everyone was silent.
Mr. Qin, who was the first to speak, looked around and said with clenched teeth, "Manager Li, anyone can make empty promises! Far Away's capital chain is broken, and we all know it. If Far Away still has money, why is the Tong Shan branch in a semi-closed state? "
As soon as he said this, some suppliers who didn't know what was going on were shocked.
The branch was closed!
Far Away was in the middle of a big expansion, and they didn't have enough time. How could it be closed for no reason?
The big suppliers who were calm before couldn't sit still anymore. A middle-aged man in his 40s sitting in the front row frowned and said, "General Manager Li, Far Away's Tong Shan branch really closed?"
Li Dong didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Mr. Qin and said, "General Manager Qin, your information is quite accurate."
This was a tacit agreement. After all, it wasn't a secret, and everyone could find out later.
As soon as he said this, the banquet hall was full of discussions.
Except for the big suppliers, the people in charge of other small factories and companies couldn't sit still anymore.
"It really stopped! Is Far Away really out of money? "
"Of course, if they have money, why would they stop? Far Away still has 700,000 yuan in arrears. Is it possible that we can't get it back? "Someone asked worriedly.
"Not necessarily. Far Away's branches are still making profits. Even if they really run out of money, they will get it back eventually."
"General Manager Wang, you have a big business, so you can wait, but we can't. If we can't get the payment next month, my small factory won't be able to run anymore. "
"…"
The crowd was noisy, but Li Dong didn't stop them. He just stood on the stage and watched the show.
Sun Tao gently pulled on Li Dong's trousers. Li Dong lowered his body and moved closer. Sun Tao said in a low voice, "Quit while you're ahead. If we really change too many suppliers, it will be a big problem."
Ever since Li Dong patted his shoulder, Sun Tao knew what Li Dong wanted to do.
However, some of these suppliers had been working with them for almost a year. Even if they didn't have feelings for each other, at least they were familiar with the process.
If they changed suppliers now, it would take a while for them to get used to it. It wasn't a good thing to add trouble for no reason.
There was no need to be ruthless in business. Harmony was the right way to make money.
Li Dong understood this, but he still felt uncomfortable!
He didn't owe these guys a single cent, but they were like ghosts, afraid that he would run away with the money.
Since that was the case, Li Dong didn't mind kicking them out of Far Away's supply chain!
Li Dong was willing to continue working with those who were steady and didn't kick them when they were down.
But those like Boss Qin who were looking for trouble, Li Dong would definitely kick them out!
Were the other big supermarkets in Ping Chuan better than him?
Li Dong didn't dare to say that he was the best in Ping Chuan, but Far Away's Longhua branch was definitely one of the best in Ping Chuan in terms of scale and profit.
These suppliers had made a lot of money from him, and now they wanted to suck up to others. Li Dong naturally wouldn't agree!
