Chapter 30: A Solution Has Been Come Up with
"No... just complaining won't work... you need to show something concrete..."
After being enlightened, Boss Lin forcibly suppressed his emotions.
Just then, the designated driver arrived.
The guests in the restaurant also glanced at Jiang Heng from time to time.
"Shall we talk in the car?" Jiang Heng tilted his head and nodded towards the door.
"Okay..." After paying the bill, Boss Lin and Jiang Heng got into his beat-up little car together.
In the back seat of the car.
The designated driver ensured a smooth ride.
Boss Lin, however, stretched out his palm and explained his specific situation to Jiang Heng.
"I currently have three confirmed orders."
He clasped his hands together and extended one finger.
"The first project is to build a fence for a newly built residential area."
The amount isn't very large, but the deposit has already been received, and I estimate that all the accounts will be settled by the beginning of next month.
He then extended a second finger.
"The second client is a state-owned enterprise. Payment is absolutely guaranteed, but the cycle is a bit long, possibly around two months."
As for the third one…
Boss Lin pointed in the direction of the construction site, "That's Manager Sun's business. He probably needs two more batches of goods worth several hundred thousand."
After saying all this, he thought of his shop again.
"Also, you've seen the location of my shop."
The South City Market itself has good foot traffic, and my shop's location is also good.
I have a mix of old clients and small orders, which I receive almost every day.
I was thinking of expanding the shop after my mother's condition stabilized...
The more Mr. Lin spoke, the clearer his mind became, as if he had explained his life plan and the advantages of his store to Jiang Heng one by one.
[Pavilion Master Lin presents the "Linping Weapon Refining Pavilion Development Plan Map," slightly reducing the "risk of long-term contracts with substantial donations."]
Jiang Heng listened attentively and then looked at the prompts on the panel.
Since the panel approves, it proves that the company also approves of his explanation.
Unfortunately, it only decreased slightly.
"It seems... we still need some 'hard evidence' like collateral..."
Jiang Heng thought to himself, and seeing that Boss Lin couldn't say anything else, he didn't press him, and just nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
When I get back to the company, I will tell the company everything you said.
Jiang Heng paused as he spoke, "But let's get this straight up."
First, I can't make decisions about the company, so you should be prepared.
Secondly, and most importantly, we ultimately cannot avoid the issue of 'collateral'.
If you take out a lot of credit this time, that house won't be enough. You need to think about whether you have any other collateral.
"I understand! I know all the道理 (principles/reasons)!" Boss Lin nodded vigorously, his eyes reddening. "But whether it works out or not, Manager Jiang! I'll remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"
……
Jiang Heng got off the bus midway because Little Coal Ball was about to produce spirit stones, and he had to go home.
Mr. Lin insisted on having a designated driver deliver the goods, but Jiang Heng refused.
It's 3 PM right now.
At the bottom of the apartment building.
Jiang Heng looked up at his rented room upstairs. This was the first time he had returned home during "working hours".
"Today's business was handled even worse than when I usually 'slack off'..."
Jiang Heng shook his head. Although it was a joke, his mind was full of thoughts about the "long-term contract mission".
That's 100 contribution points and ten taels of silver.
"I wonder if Boss Lin can find a way to 'break the deadlock' and come up with more collateral this afternoon."
As Jiang Heng recalled Boss Lin's tired face, he went upstairs and opened his own apartment door.
Jiang Heng had just stepped into the house.
"Meow~" Little Coal Ball pounced on Jiang Heng's trouser leg.
"Your father is back."
When Jiang Heng saw the little coal ball, he temporarily suppressed his soft heart, bent down and picked it up, and rubbed it a few times.
Until the little coal ball began to rebel.
Jiang Hengcai then began to check if the cat had enough food and water, and also scooped up its litter box.
Before we knew it, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.
[The Yin Sha Black Wind Cat devoured vital energy for many days, exhaling a 'Mysterious Yin' wind, which transformed into a 'Low-Grade Yin Attribute Spirit Stone'.]
The prompt appeared.
Jiang Heng suddenly saw a grayish-white stone appear out of thin air in the little coal ball's nest.
Using his Yin-attribute perception, Jiang Heng could also see a faint black smoke emanating from its surroundings.
"Meow~" Little Coal Ball saw the stone that appeared in its nest, but it didn't feel anything strange. It just felt like a toy.
"In this world, perhaps I'm the only one who's actually doing the 'beta testing'..."
However, my "inventory" can only accept items "obtained from the panel".
Jiang Heng weighed the Yin Spirit Stone in his hand. Since he didn't have any Yin-attribute cultivation techniques at the moment, he put it into his 'Inventory' first.
……
Evening, at Iron King Gym.
Jiang Heng, as usual, worked out in the gym, and then chatted with "Master of Skill Transmission, Ah Hu" for a while.
It's only during chatting and exercising.
Jiang Heng sometimes drifted off, still thinking about what to do about Boss Lin's situation.
Because relying solely on what Boss Lin said in the car is clearly not enough.
If you try to negotiate a long-term contract with Manager Zhang with just empty words, it probably won't work.
Manager Zhang will definitely think he's unreliable.
However, although Jiang Heng had told Boss Lin that he would talk to the company, in order not to leave a bad impression on the sect, he did not mention it at all.
"If we're going to talk, let's wait for Boss Lin to come up with the collateral price first, and then I'll go straight for the negotiations with the confidence to 'go all out'."
Jiang Heng thought to himself that by the time he finished lifting weights, it was already midnight.
on the way home.
Jiang Heng thought for a moment and set a new alarm for 8 a.m.
Since we've started doing business, I don't need to get up so early anymore.
……
The next day, at seven o'clock.
Jiang Heng was awakened by a cell phone ringing.
Just by looking at the three words "Boss Lin" on the screen.
Jiang Heng was wide awake.
"Feed?" The moment Jiang Heng got up, his fatigue quickly dissipated after circulating his spiritual energy slightly.
"Manager Jiang!" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse. "Are you free today? Could you come to my shop?"
"What?" Jiang Heng's heart skipped a beat. "You've come up with a plan?"
"Yes!" Boss Lin took a deep breath, and said with a hint of desperation, "I have a way to increase the collateral!"
But I don't know if it will work, so I wanted to talk to you about it in person.
"Or, you can tell me a place, and I'll come find you."
[When 'Pavilion Master Lin' mentioned 'the Dharma Gate,' it seems there's a turning point. Quickly go to 'Xuan Tie Nan Li Market' to investigate.]
"There really is a way..."
Jiang Heng perked up after seeing the notification on the panel: "I'll come find you."
Perfect timing, I still need to check out the market over there.
Jiang Heng checked the time. "I'll be there in about an hour."
……
At the entrance of Pinglin Steel Shop in Nancheng Market.
When Jiang Heng arrived, he saw that Boss Lin, who was usually quite refined, was now unshaven, looking like he had stayed up all night.
There were still some fresh oil stains on his white shirt, probably from eating breakfast in such a hurry that he accidentally got them on.
"Look at you." Jiang Heng sensed something was wrong with him when he saw his state. "Your clothes are all dirty. Be careful that when customers come in, they don't think your boss is unreliable or untrustworthy."
