Chapter 94 Find him to restock
"Song Qiao, this was really my oversight. I didn't expect there would be a problem with this batch of goods. It's all Niu Jianshe's fault. I'll have him replenish the goods immediately!"
After hearing this, Jiang Ming sneered inwardly: Song Qiao, just you wait. The next batch of goods will take at least five days to arrive. Once this batch arrives, it will be frozen. You will then have to pay the wages of nine workers on the construction site for nothing. After that, I will trip you up again. If you don't deliver the house on time, I will leave. If you don't pay the penalty, who will?
"Restock? Today or tomorrow?"
Song Qiao, who also studied architecture, knew that even a one-day delay at nine construction sites would result in a huge financial loss, let alone a five-day delay. Moreover, the land was about to freeze, and delays in construction meant that the houses could not be delivered on time next year.
According to the budget schedule, not a single day can be wasted now.
"You're joking, today or tomorrow? It will take at least five days," Jiang Ming said.
To reassure Song Qiao, he turned to Zhao Xiaoya and said, "Go and contact Boss Niu quickly and ask him to restock!"
"No need for her to contact him. I've already arranged for people to go to Niu Jianshe's side. He's out of stock. He said it will take at least three days for the steel and cement of the type we need to arrive. Jiang Ming! You will bear all the losses during these three days!"
Now that things had come to this, Jiang Ming had no choice but to agree: "Wife, I'll take responsibility. It was my fault for not supervising you properly."
Then he added, "We're family, so if I have to take responsibility, won't you take it too?"
Jiang Ming picked up his coat from the bed and walked to the door: "I said you have to bear this alone. Go and raise funds now, and make up for this loss by the end of the month!"
Jiang Ming laughed when he heard this: "Okay! I'll raise the funds and make up for the workers' wages for the three-day delay."
In order to get the remaining money, Jiang Ming had no choice but to agree.
Meanwhile, he calculated in his mind: three days' wages would be at most two million, but if the construction was delayed and the house couldn't be delivered, it would be tens of millions.
Watching Song Qiao return to her office, Jiang Ming chased after her: "Is it just a matter of me making up for the three days of delayed wages, and that's it?"
Song Qiao looked at him and said, "Okay! You go first."
He needs to carefully extract the money from his hands, little by little; there's no rush.
"Thank you, honey!"
Seeing Jiang Ming's obsequious manner, Song Qiao sneered inwardly, thinking: Jiang Ming, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?
Upon hearing Song Qiao's agreement, Jiang Ming picked up a pen ingratiatingly: "Wife, words are not enough; you must personally approve it."
Song Qiao looked at him coldly: "I said I wouldn't pursue it, and that's it. Are you still going on and on?"
The interpretation rests with Song Qiao; we'll deal with the rest later.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming became even more worried about leaving and gave Zhao Xiaoya a wink.
She immediately took the folder: "Chairman Song, since President Jiang is worried, why don't you sign it to put his mind at ease? He needs to raise the money."
Song Qiao sneered: "Secretary Zhao, you really are a good secretary. You're not as sincere to your old master as you are to your new one."
Song Qiao was calling her a dog. When Zhao Xiaoya heard this, she gritted her teeth and swallowed the insult.
But for Jiang Ming's sake, she had no choice but to swallow her anger and stand in front of Song Qiao's desk like a maid: "I will heed Chairman Song's instructions and will definitely listen to my new master from now on."
Song Qiao glanced at Zhao Xiaoya and thought: Looks like you're quite good at enduring things? Then keep enduring them. I'm going to make you pay for everything you did in the previous life.
Song Qiao picked up a pen, glanced at the folder, and signed her name: "Get out of here. Don't let me see you, Jiang Ming, using such inferior steel and substandard cement again. Otherwise, there won't be a next time."
In order to find out where Jiang Ming hid his money, Song Qiao endured it.
Having signed the document, Jiang Ming had achieved his goal. He nodded in agreement, took the signed document, and left.
He laughed at the doorway: "Song Qiao, just you wait, you're in for a rough time."
His goal was to delay the construction, prevent the houses from being delivered, and force the business to close down next year, let alone go public.
After Jiang Ming left, Zhao Xiaoya hurriedly looked at Song Qiao and asked, "Chairman Song, a batch of fresh coffee beans imported from Brazil recently arrived. I'll grind them for you and make you a cup of freshly ground coffee."
"Go!"
Song Qiao just told her to leave because she needed to call Xu Tao. Only he could replenish the delayed steel and cement at this time.
Watching Zhao Xiaoya leave the room, Song Qiao picked up her phone and dialed Xu Tao's number.
"Hello! Uncle Xu, this is Qiao Qiao."
"Qiaoqiao, you ran into your brother Xu Chao last night, didn't you?"
When the call connected, Xu Tao asked about this matter.
"Yes! I called him today too. I sent him the sample and hope to get the results as soon as possible."
"Are you referring to the batch of substandard building materials that Jiang Ming bought?"
"Yes! This is the evidence I obtained. We'll settle the score later."
"Okay! When I get home, I'll remind him again to get back to you as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Song Qiao said, "Uncle Xu, I'm calling you today because I have something else to ask of you."
Xu Tao asked on the phone, "What's wrong? Tell me, and I'll definitely help if I can."
Song Qiao also knew that his father had been kind to Xu Tao. Back when Xu Tao founded his building materials company, without his father, Xu Tao would not be where he is today. In addition to providing financial assistance, Song Jianguo also used his father's raw materials for all the construction sites.
This was undoubtedly a way to help him expand his business, and sure enough, Xu Tao's building materials company had the largest market share in Jiangcheng.
The materials Xu Tao supplied back then always met the standards and were of high quality, which was the foundation for his business to grow bigger and bigger.
Upon hearing Song Qiao's words, Xu Tao quickly asked, "You asked your uncle to help you earlier, what did he help you with?"
"Jiang Ming purchased a batch of substandard steel from Niu Jianshe, only to discover it was substandard when he needed it. He kept it under wraps and didn't say anything. Now that I've found out, it's too late to return it. The construction site urgently needs this material. I'd like to ask if you could provide us with some replacements?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tao quickly replied, "The goods I supply are all shipped on a first-come, first-served basis; I don't have any spares."
After saying that, Xu Tao considered for a moment and asked, "How many do you need?"
"Of the nine construction sites, only one was free of substandard steel and cement. The other eight all had them. We urgently need 20 tons of steel bars. If we have 20 tons, we won't have to stop work on the site."
Xu Tao runs a building materials business, so he naturally knows how much loss there is if the construction period is delayed by even one day. If the ring beam is being installed on a building and the work is stopped halfway through, the quality will not be as sturdy as if it were installed as a single piece.
"Qiaoqiao, how about this? I have several colleagues in the building materials business in other cities. I'll get some from them for you. As for whether twenty tons will be enough, I can't guarantee!"
Song Qiao understood Xu Tao; as long as he agreed to help, she would do her best.
"Thank you, Uncle Xu!"
I had just finished a call with Xu Tao when Ms. Zhang, Jiang Xiaoran's kindergarten teacher, called again.
Song Qiao glanced at the screen and answered, "Hello! Teacher Zhang, is there something you need?"
“Jiang Xiaoran’s mother, please come to the hospital quickly, your Jiang Xiaoran has caused trouble again.”
