Chapter 244 - 244 Unexpected Surprise

244 Unexpected Surprise

When Yu Bing saw Mr. Bai’s troubled expression, she understood the other party’s difficulties. If she didn’t show him something convincing, it would be a little difficult to get approval for the production line.

Hence, Yu Bing returned to the factory first and looked for Wen Qin to settle all the debts.

After Wen Qin worked for a while, she was already proficient in many things. As soon as Yu Bing asked for the data, she took out the account book and reported, “Because our orders for the past two months have stabilized, the factory has always had orders for production. Therefore, the progress of our repayment with the various supply units, machinery plants, and banks is far faster than that of the previous agreement. Currently, the farm is in debt…”

As she listened to Wen Qin report her debt, Yu Bing felt a headache coming on. She still owed a total of 22,098 yuan, and the amount they currently had was only 10,820 yuan. Of which, 6,000 yuan was to be used to buy machines. The remaining 1,000 yuan was used for the daily cash flow in the factory, which meant that the actual amount available was only 3,820 yuan.

As Yu Bing looked at the specific amount of debt on the paper, she thought for a long time and said, “We’ll pay off all the debts first. There are still more than two years to go before we have to pay off the bank’s 4,000 yuan. Let’s put it aside for now. We’ll also put aside the 588 yuan payment for the city’s machinery factory. The fertilizer factory, pesticide factory, and farm don’t owe much. We’ll pay off the total debt for them, which is 2,562 yuan. Wen Qin, add all the arrears for the raw materials supply unit that will be settled at the end of every month and see how much they cost in total.”

After Wen Qin calculated it, she came up with a number quickly. “3,267 yuan.”

Yu Bing frowned. “After deducting the 2,562 yuan that needs to be returned, there’s still 1,258 yuan left. Even if the rest can be deducted from the debt that can be delayed for the time being, the remaining debt can’t be repaid no matter what.”

When Wen Qin saw Yu Bing’s troubled expression, she was very helpless as well. Although she was born into a family of businessmen, she didn’t know much about business at all. If she was asked to do accounting, she could handle it in minutes, but in terms of coming up with ideas, there was really nothing she could do.

When Xiao Sheng entered the office, he saw Yu Bing’s troubled expression and teased with a smile, “It’s rare to see Miss Yu being stumped.”

Yu Bing glared at Xiao Sheng. “Stop gloating!”

Xiao Sheng knew Yu Bing’s plan, so he asked directly, “Why did Mr. Bai reject you? Tell me. Perhaps I can give you a good idea.”

After hearing Yu Bing’s recount, Xiao Sheng raised his hand and knocked Yu Bing’s forehead. Although it didn’t hurt, Yu Bing still touched her forehead and hit Xiao Sheng’s arm fiercely. “It hurts!”

Wen Qin chuckled. She realized that Yu Bing’s usual maturity and calmness would disappear occasionally when she encountered Xiao Sheng. Every time this happened, she felt that she shouldn’t be in the room.

Yu Bing’s little strength was like a mere tickle for Xiao Sheng, who smiled and said, “Aren’t you quite smart? Why can’t you think of it? Aren’t the chickens, ducks, fish, and fruit trees in our village potential sources of money?”

Yu Bing clapped her hands and came to a realization. “That’s right! How could I have forgotten?! Mr. Bai got me all confused. Moreover, we’ve already paid off a portion of the money. Logically speaking, our current assets are more than our debt. Even if the food factory really closes down, we can completely pay off our debts after we sell our assets!”

Yu Bing borrowed Xiao Sheng’s bicycle and rushed to the county city. Zeng Li missed her again. Looking at the locked office, Zeng Li shook his head helplessly. “She’s working way too hard!”

Yu Bing tried to convince Mr. Bai again. As she looked at the signature and seal on the note that approved the purchase of the production equipment, Yu Bing’s desire to go all out ignited.

Two days later, everything in Zeng Li’s order was manufactured. On the seventh day, three 3,000 bottles of spicy products were completed on time. Zhang Chao, with another underling, was in charge of the transportation.

Yu Bing planned to follow them to S City to look at the production line. Although City H was the capital of the provincial city, it was still a little inferior to S City, which had trade with foreign countries and more advanced manufacturing technologies.

Xiao Sheng planned to go to the big hospital in S City to get a consultation for Xiao Li. This time, he would go out in the name of purchasing machinery and equipment with Yu Bing.

Zeng Li had originally planned to take the train, but after knowing that Yu Bing was also going to S City, he decisively chose to take the truck with them.
