Chapter 236 Moldy White Cloth
Chapter 236 Moldy White Cloth
In the blink of an eye, Bosong had been away from Yangcheng for more than half a year.
Because of the power plant business, Bo Xun often travels between Yangcheng and Jincheng.
Nanchun takes care of all the affairs of the Bai Company.
Of course, the business with foreigners was still handled by Wang Zijin and Xu Shuisheng. Nanchun knew Bai Song's intention, he was afraid that he would find out that the Bai family was doing business in funerary objects.
One day, Xu Shuisheng told him that there was a problem with a batch of goods coming from the West.
Nanchun followed him to the dock warehouse.
When Nanchun saw Bai Fugui again, she felt sick.
Be it the pranks played in youth or the quarrels and fights.
He could regard it as a mistake made due to his youthful ignorance and impetuosity.
But in his previous life, when he and his mother were seriously ill, Bai Fugui repeatedly came to provoke and humiliate them. He also spread rumors that he and his mother had contracted a contagious disease.
That wasn't enough, they dragged him into the dungeon and tortured and humiliated him in every way.
This person is a complete bad person.
Bai Fugui looked down on Nanchun from the bottom of his heart.
Even though he is now the second young lady of the Bai family, he is still in charge of the Bai Trading Company.
"Where is the goods?" Nanchun asked.
"Second Young Madam, the goods are here. It was our negligence. It looks normal at first glance, but after opening it, there are many mold spots inside. Some parts have even rotted." Xu Shuisheng hurriedly opened it and pointed it out to Nanchun.
Nanchun walked over to take a look and saw that there were indeed many mold spots on the white cloth. A strong musty smell hit his nose. He reached out and touched it. Not only that, the quality of this batch of white cloth was far inferior to the previous ones.
This is obviously a defective product that has been stored for a long time and improperly.
"Have you given them the balance?" Nanchun asked.
"Not yet. I was going to give it to him today. After I found out there was a problem with the goods, I found an excuse and sent him away without giving him the money," said Xu Shuisheng.
"That's good. I won't have to pay the balance." Nanchun said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Bai Fugui angrily said, "Isn't this inappropriate? When doing business with foreigners, the eldest master always pays them upon delivery of the goods. He has never delayed paying the balance. By doing this, you've made our company lose its credibility with foreigners. Who would want to do business with us in the future?"
Nan Chun frowned and said, "If they follow the contract, I won't give them a penny less."
"Isn't it just a few moldy spots? Even if it's washed and colored, it can still be used. Second Young Madam, you have never done business with foreigners, so you don't know the ins and outs of this. Don't be so petty because of such a small matter and ruin the overall situation. It's not easy to get some goods from foreigners nowadays." Bai Fugui said sarcastically.
Nan Chun snorted coldly and said, "You spend money to buy something, but when you get a defective product, not only do you have to swallow your anger, but you also have to consider the seller's feelings at every turn? What kind of logic is this?"
"This is how it is when dealing with foreigners! After traveling thousands of miles and crossing the ocean, how can there not be any losses? People from a small family are indeed not suitable for doing big business!" Bai Fugui said disdainfully.
"Bai Fugui, I really didn't know that you could be so considerate sometimes? Since you think these things are good, why don't you spend money to buy them and take them home to use?" Nanchun said with a smile.
Bai Fugui's face flushed red after being rebuked by Nanchun. He said angrily, "If you do this, you will definitely offend the foreigners! Can you, as a man's wife, bear the consequences?"
"Bai Fugui! How can you talk to the Second Young Madam like that?" Xu Shuisheng scolded.
"Brother Sheng, when has the eldest young master ever pursued such a matter in the past? It's just that someone is taking advantage of a feather and making a big deal out of nothing!" Bai Fugui said dissatisfiedly.
When Nanchun looked at the account book, he discovered that one of the items was loss.
It's normal for goods to be damaged after traveling a long distance, but the damage to foreign goods accounted for 80% to 90% of all losses.
Nan Chun snorted coldly: "It is because we have let them off lightly time and time again that these people have become more aggressive and only use defective products, or even garbage, to fool us.
Money thrown into the water still makes a sound! I'm not going to do this business anymore, but I'm going to make it clear to them! If you're not satisfied, you can go talk to the young master!"
After returning from the dock warehouse, Nanchun asked Xu Fei to invite David, the foreign supplier, over.
David thought Nanchun invited him to pay the balance.
When we arrived at the place, we saw Nanchun with a gloomy face and a white cloth spread out on the table.
David looked at the moldy white cloth and smiled unnaturally: "Mr. Nan, it's time to pay the balance."
Nan Chun said coldly: "This is not the product we want, how can I give you the balance?"
David said, "Isn't this business managed by Mr. Wang? I want to talk to him."
Nan Chun said with a sullen face, "I can handle that! If you don't exchange the goods, I will definitely not pay the balance. Not only that, you have to return the deposit."
David got anxious when he heard this. "What you're doing is against the rules! The contract also states that payment is upon delivery. Now that the goods have arrived, aren't you being shameless by holding back on payment? Business should be based on integrity!"
"Business requires honesty! The contract clearly states the quality requirements for the cloth. If the goods you give us are not right, we have the right not to pay." Nanchun's attitude was very tough.
Seeing that he couldn't communicate with Nanchun, David said, "I want to talk to Mr. Wang!"
Nanchun said with a dark face: "Shuisheng, show him away!"
David thought Nanchun was just complaining, and once Mr. Wang explained the pros and cons to him, he would obediently hand over the money.
But after waiting for several days, Nanchun sent no one to deliver the money. He tried to contact Wang Zijin, but was unsuccessful.
Now it was his turn to be anxious.
One day, David finally blocked Wang Zijin at the door of Bai's Trading Company.
"Mr. Wang, you haven't paid me the balance for that batch of cloth yet."
Wang Zijin said with an embarrassed look on his face, "David, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. The business is now under the control of the Second Young Madam. I have the will but I can't! Besides, you guys are going too far this time.
In the past, there were occasional defective items in our shipments, and we never said anything. This time, seven or eight out of ten are defective. Even though we're being taken advantage of, we can't be fools, right?
David rolled his eyes and said, "The goods have arrived at your warehouse now. Maybe you replaced our good goods with defective ones and are using this as a pretext to evade payment!"
Wang Zijin didn't know how to refute for a moment. It was indeed their mistake that they did not inspect the goods on the spot when they were delivered.
David saw this and knew he had hit the nail on the head. He pulled Wang Zijin to the door of Bai's Trading Company and started yelling.
"The Bai Company is dishonest. They accepted my goods but refused to pay for them! They even slandered me by selling defective goods, intending to renege on their debt!"
