Chapter 857 - 342: The Young Masterâs Methods, the Once-Great Patriarch Grows Old
"Perhaps this kid has come back to help his parents escape. Everyone better keep a close eye on them."
Two or three people jeered from the crowd.
Zhou Can had secretly memorized these three people.
These few might be inherently bad or might have taken bribes from those guys to deliberately stir things up. Of course, it could also be genuine concern about not getting their money back that prompted those words.
"You were the loudest just now! Yes, yes, Iâm talking to you, donât hide!"
Zhou Can shouted, pointing at a sharp-featured man in the crowd.
"So what if I was speaking loudly? Iâm asking for my rightful wages; even if the heavens came down, I wouldnât be afraid." The man, seeing he couldnât hide, simply stepped forward with a stern face.
"Mom, whatâs this guyâs name?"
Zhou Can ignored the manâs bravado and turned to ask his mother.
"His name is Hee Zhiqiang, and heâs been at our factory for about six months. Heâs a new employee."
"Alright, this is the guy sowing discord and making trouble. Make sure heâs paid last when settling wages." Zhou Can understood well that people are driven by self-interest.
Only by gripping these crucial interests can you make them fall in line.
To make an example of one serves to warn a hundred. Itâs the most common method to deal with troublemakers and suppress disturbances.
"Why is that? Am I wrong for asking for my wages?" Hee Zhiqiang stiffened his neck and questioned angrily.
"Everyone, look at how overbearing this young master is! I think heâs trying to scare us into submission with this tactic. We will not compromise!"
Someone stepped forward to support Hee Zhiqiang.
"Yeah, we absolutely must not let this kid control us. We have to get our money today, or else itâs all nonsense."
Another person chimed in support.
Causing a disturbance is rarely achieved by one person alone.
Usually, it takes two or three people working in concert to create momentum, stir othersâ emotions, and achieve disruption.
Itâs these three people again.
Zhou Can understood in his heart that these were the ones deliberately causing trouble and making commotion.
"You two also, step forward! Yes, you two!" Zhou Can pointed at the two who were chiming in.
"Mom, who are these two?"
Zhou Can inquired of his mother.
"The tall one is Wei Min, whoâs been at our factory for not even five months. The other is a supplier named Tang Xiaoli, whoâs been working with us for three years. We owe him about a hundred and ten thousand in payments."
"Note down these two names too, and make sure theyâre in the last batch for payment." Zhou Can said loudly, his face cold and rigid.
Once the arrow is released, thereâs no turning back.
Having dealt with one, adding two more makes no difference.
"Our family factory is in liquidation, and those who settle accounts first will surely get their full payments or wages. As for those who settle last, hmph, that depends on fate! Of course, my parents and I are people of integrity. Debts owed will certainly be paid, but as for when, who knows?"
Zhou Can made it clear he was publicly using words to threaten those three troublemakers, saying itâs unclear when their accounts would be settled.
What caused you to make such a commotion.
"Why is that? Kid, can you make the decisions?"
The supplier Tang Xiaoli became anxious when he heard Zhou Can saying his payment would be settled last.
A hundred and ten thousand isnât a small amount.
At that moment, Zhou Can established authority by dealing with three people at once, subduing the scene somewhat. No one else dared to openly challenge him. This is human nature.
Anyone who stands out means their payments will be last to be settled.
Eventually, they can only watch helplessly as others get their payments or wages cleared, while theirs remains in limbo.
Only a fool would do something detrimental to themselves for the benefit of others.
Tang Xiaoli publicly questioned whether Zhou Can could make decisions, hitting Zhou Canâs weak spot.
After all, heâs just the young master here, pointing fingers but hard to command respect.
"If my son canât make the decisions, then who can?"
A calm and forceful voice rang out.
A man in his fifties, carrying a black bag, strode over.
It was Zhou Canâs father, returning from debt collection.
But judging from his furrowed brow, the debt collection likely hadnât gone well. Borrowing money goes without saying. The more difficult the family situation, the harder it is to borrow money.
Because those you borrow from worry you canât repay, no one is willing to lend.
"Dad!"
Zhou Can saw his father, once as lofty as a mountain, now with a head full of white hair and a heavily hunched back, weighed down by the familyâs crushing debts.
"Boss Zhou is back!"
"Mr. Zhou said that his son can make the decisions, everyone heard it."
Instantly, the crowdâs emotions were stirred, and Zhou Canâs position became stabilized thanks to his fatherâs words.
"Mr. Zhou, your son just assured us all that he would settle all supplier payments within seven days and all wages within three days."
Someone who had worked with them for decades, a true old friend.
If it werenât for the food processing factory reaching the point of bankruptcy, they wouldnât have come to demand payment.
Mr. Zhou looked at his son, cursing internally, this kid still lacks social experience. The debts owed by the family are no small sum; how could he set a fixed date for debt repayment?
This is cutting off his own retreat.
In business, itâs crucial not to make absolute statements or actions; you need to leave a way out for yourself, this is called being shrewd.
"Yes, thatâs right, I said it. A manâs word is his bond, and Iâll do as I promised." Zhou Can asserted boldly.
