In mid-December, the weather by the sea became colder.

Some oil wells with small output have entered a period of suspension, and production activities such as three oil production have stopped. In addition to the slightest desolation near the oil field, there are many leisurely workers and families who go out for a walk.

Su Cheng also invited four Saudis, including Shu Lan, Shu Hao, Xiaopang, Qin Yun, and Xingfu, Nasr, who had been drunk for half a month, to participate in the wilderness barbecue.

A worn-out pickup truck pulled two tanks of liquefied gas produced by the oil field and a group of iron mesh and iron frames hand-made by workers. Then find a place with a half slope and a leeward, which is an excellent outdoor barbecue stall.

Chef Fan, who once served steak to Sucheng for a long time, has been promoted to the head of the logistics department and was invited to participate in the barbecue. He also brought his nephew to help, but in fact he was here to host the barbecue.

However, when I really set up a situation at the place, I couldn't use Chef Fan's nephew. Several foreign factory employees who had learned the news from nowhere actively asked for help with food, tobacco and alcohol.

The handmade barbecue grill is very long and requires more than 10 people to make food. Chef Fan’s nephew is too busy alone, so he did not firmly stop the helpers from appearing.

When Su Cheng came to his senses, three helpers had already appeared on the barbecue grill. Another Chief Liu and Director Bai were holding Su Cheng on the left and right, handing him cigarettes and wine, and he was left and right. It seemed that he was a delicious steak or a chicken wing with a meat stick.

At the same time, Naser and others honestly drank the fine wines brought by their helpers. There were Moutai and Wuliangye, Yanghe Daqu and Fenjiu, and two bottles of Yantai red wine.

Su Cheng was too lazy to stop him. Among all the people who gave gifts and asked for it, the best way to deal with is to make a request first and then give a gift, and the second way to give a gift, and the most difficult thing to deal with is to only give gifts and not ask for it, just like the few people in front of him.

He didn't want to destroy the good barbecue atmosphere, so he agreed to help from several people and asked Shulan to calculate the price of food and wine and give it back to the other party.

This was a bit beyond their expectations. Section Chief Liu smiled and said, "We have been doing market support for several years. This is the first time we have encountered a gift with money."

"Oh? Why?" Su Cheng bit the chicken wings and chatted without a word. This was not the first time Section Chief Liu and Director Bai met. They were both from Shanxi Coal Mine, but one was the section chief of a state-owned enterprise and the other was the private boss.

In 1989, the coal boss invested a lot and made little profits. At the same time, the coal as raw materials were sold on credit sales, with a collection period of more than 90 days. There was still one year longer. Due to fierce competition, they were unable to change the situation of credit sales, so they could only use credit purchases to maintain their operations.

This is actually a typical structure of triangle bond generation. But this time, Jichai refused to sell the credit according to Sucheng's requirements. Even though he knew that the triangle bond was about to explode, he still paid the credit to these companies, which was a huge financial risk. If Sucheng didn't know, it would be fine. If Sucheng didn't know, it would be fine. In the case of certainty, he would rather not do business than sell the credit.

So things became strange.

The purchaser came to Jichai and asked Su Cheng and Chen Zunian to sell the goods to them.

Such a scenario is not visible in normal business years.

Section Chief Liu and Director Bai used to collect debts nationwide, but this time he begged to create debts for himself was the first time. Seeing Su Cheng's tone relaxed, Section Chief Liu said powerlessly: "We used to give gifts, and at most people asked us to bring the gifts back. Haha, the factory directors of state-owned enterprises are not all rich, and there is no need to spend money to buy cigarettes and bars."

"That's true. I am the chairman of a private company. The money I spent in the factory is the money I spent. The money I collected from the factory is the money I received. So, there is no way to trade cash."

Seeing that Su Cheng took the initiative to talk about this, Section Chief Liu smiled and said, "Dr. Su, we will buy 4 generators at a time, and we will only need to postpone payment for 90 days, and we will pay after the New Year!"

They are all coal mines and must use generators. In this regard, Jinan Power Machinery Factory is the leader. Its performance is far higher than that of other domestic diesel engines, and its price is far lower than that of imported diesel engines. On some highly competitive models, Jichai can even achieve a price difference of 20% lower than similar products. If it is not for cash payment, iron and other products can be used to wash the domestic diesel engine market.

However, Sucheng has no interest in extensive occupation of the domestic diesel engine market, especially in the hardest hit areas of triangle bonds. Now buy them on credit. Once the triangle bonds break out, it will be good to be able to recover the money within three to five years. With the current inflation rate, 5-year repayment is equivalent to only getting 20% ​​of the sales payment. This is still a good situation. If you are not lucky, the bad debts and bad debts that will be generated can only be angry.

In addition, Jinan Power Machinery Factory does not supply the national production capacity, and Sucheng is not prepared to allow them to supply the national supply. If even the share of low-end diesel engines is unwilling to give up, local protection will leave the expanded diesel engines with no way out.

Su Cheng pretended to be considerate and said, "We don't have enough funds, either wait until the year is over."

The end of the year is the most difficult time for various companies, especially those with poor operating conditions or owed more debts. Because they have to pay more salaries at the end of the year, they also have to pay suppliers and sellers, and banks have suspended loans or even collected payments in advance.

Section Chief Liu and Director Bai had no choice but to agree unhappily.

Nasr had been anxious, holding the beef skewers in one hand and the beer in the other yelled: "Mr. Su, you haven't come to eat meat yet, it's hard."

His translation is also a wonderful person, and he also shouted in unskilled Chinese: "Eat Mr. Su quickly, it's hard."

Shu Lan laughed out loud with a "puff".

Xiaopang put down the beer, shook his head and said, "No matter whether the master becomes hard or not, I don't want to eat it."

After hearing his words, Su Cheng's face turned green. People in the 1980s were too pure and it was difficult to understand the various ways to harden them.

After playing until evening, Nasr and his Saudi colleagues got drunk again. For them, China is a drinking place, no matter how much wine they drink, they will not be arrested, nor will they buy alcohol. Moreover, the alcohol is only one-tenth of the Saudi black market, even imported whiskey.

Sucheng and Xiaopang brought the Saudis into the car together, while Nasr was still talking drunkenly: "1 dollar wine. $1 dollar wine."

His translator can still stand, and he is stupid and adds a sentence himself: "We have been cheated of a lot of money."

Xiaopang said with some envy: "I really want to go to Saudi Arabia to sell wine."

"If you are arrested, you are likely to be submerged in formalin." Qin Yun put his hands on his hips from behind, and his mouth was full of alcohol.

Su Cheng retreated. Wine is a powerful weapon. If a tiger on Jingyanggang drinks eighteen bowls of wine, it can tear a dozen Wu Song into pieces as side dishes. If a drunk woman loses her temper, she can cut off the tiger on Jingyanggang with bare hands, make 18 pairs of lace tiger-skin underwear, put it on her head and rob Louis Vuitton.

Chef Fan's nephew and the helpers drove back to the city without drinking, until the family yard. They were blocked by a group of people.

"Which company are you?" Jichai sold more than 2,000 diesel engines last year. This year's sales volume exceeded 3,500 units. Among them, the more expensive models exceeded 200,000 yuan. For companies, even if they only buy one diesel engine, it is worth the debt. Including family resident courtyards, office buildings and factory areas, there are people from different companies everywhere. Those who can find barbecue hillsides are flexible strongmen. Those who can stay in Jichai day after day are tough strongmen.

"We are Shengxing Infrastructure Company." A small man squeezed out of the crowd.

"We are from Wanyang Steel Structure." The people in front also rushed to speak.

"Hello everyone." Su Cheng reached out and greeted, "I'm going to get off work. If you have any trouble, please find the deputy factory manager on duty."

If you owe debts, it is naturally not so easy, but it is different for these people to owe debts.

Several people made way or greeted Sucheng from a distance. Sucheng also responded one by one.

However, the Wanyang steel structure man in front stopped him and said, "Dong Su. My name is Ni Zhuanghua. We are not buying machines, we are reporting something."

"Report? What's the matter?"

Ni Zhuanghua is a slightly hunched man with thick back. He squeezed the people on both sides and said, "Our Wanyang Steel Structure is supplied to COSCO Shipping. We heard that Dahua Industrial paid COSCO Shipping on a 30-day period. There is no default, right?"

"Well." Su Cheng naturally didn't want his supplier to collapse. The construction of offshore drilling platforms alone was enough for their expenses.

Ni Zhuanghua seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said happily: "That's great. To be honest, our factory can't hold on anymore."

There were "shuffing" sounds around, saying, "Our factory can't hold on anymore."

"We are different. We are collecting debts. Do you understand? We are collecting debts. It is not owed by Dahua Industrial, but Dahua Industrial's supplier owes us money." Ni Zhuanghua blocked the others to avoid interfering with the conversation.

Sheng Xing's little man thoughtfully and said, "Your method is good. You just need to find a superior factory, experience and learn."

People of all kinds nodded. They are now on credit, but they still collect debts most of the time.

"No matter what, you should still contact COSCO Shipping. If COSCO Shipping owes your funds, I can't help." Su Cheng frowned slightly.

"If we collapse, the progress of the offshore drilling platform will also be affected." Ni Zhuanghua looked at Sucheng and said, "We can survive with just one sum of money."

"How long have they owed your supply?"

“One month.”

"How long do you agree to pay?"

"This... a month." Ni Zhuanghua then quickly explained, "But the amount they wanted was too large. In the past, it was 3 million in a month, but now it is 6 million. With our own materials, we Wanyang is a small company and we really can't hold on."

"Then you can reduce the supply."

"They refuse. Moreover, if we reduce the supply, they say they will find other suppliers... We, as long as we pay an extra 3 million, we can persist. I really have no choice but to look for you." Ni Zhuanghua's debt collection level is very weak.

But Sucheng thought about it. This is obviously a means that COSCO Shipping wants to make more profits. From their perspective, there is nothing wrong. Isn’t it just to give workers more bonuses and benefits? Or pay more profits and taxes, proving that the merger with COSCO Shipping as the main body is correct...

However, Sucheng thought of the supply chain problem. COSCO Shipping is making profits with the power granted by Dahua Industrial, which not only loses profits, but more importantly increases systemic risks and reduces overall security.

If Wan Yang really collapses and a group of small companies like them collapse, it will be difficult for COSCO Shipping to successfully complete offshore drilling platforms. No matter what era, the supplier of a large company is always composed of a group of small companies.

"Okay, I will talk to COSCO Shipping, but I can't guarantee you." Su Cheng nodded slightly.

The debt collection group was sensational, and I wanted to run around and tell him: "This is really OK!"
