Picked up the devil, but very traditional

On the way, he also explained the situation again.

Their company is engaged in trading. To put it simply, they sell whatever is popular and whatever is in season.

I have my own online store, where I usually sell some of my inventory goods at a low price. They are all daily necessities, and the sales volume is pretty good. But because no one has been taking care of it for a long time, it is now closed.

The incident happened very suddenly, about a month ago, when Boss Huang didn't come to the company, and everyone was a little concerned.

Since he had worked diligently over the years and had rarely been late, I called to ask.

He said he was on a temporary business trip and would need a week to come back.

But a week later, everyone called him again and he said it would take another week.

After repeating this two or three times, he still didn't come back on payday.

The financial officer in charge of payroll is Mr. Huang's sister-in-law. When everyone went to look for her, they found that she was nowhere to be found and she didn't even answer the phone.

Only then did they feel something was wrong.

I kept calling to ask about the situation, but even Boss Huang's call was unanswered.

The remaining ten or so people were all confused and didn't know what to do. They were all warehouse laborers and had never experienced such a situation.

However, the customer service and graphic designer of the online store suggested that they could sell the items in the warehouse to get some money to pay the salaries.

Without asking for any salary, the two of them moved all the computers and screens in the office, and also took away two humidifiers. Their movements were quite skilled, and it didn't seem like it was their first time doing such a thing.

Chen Bing and others did not do so for fear of causing any disputes. They waited for three or five days and finally contacted Boss Huang.

He first asked a few strange questions, then seemed to be relieved and said, "You can sell the things in the warehouse, divide the money and go separate ways. It will definitely be enough for your wages and pensions, ahem...beep~beep~"

The phone was hung up and no one answered when they called again, so Chen Bing and his friends decided to sell the goods.

Of course, he didn't think of his fishing friend at the beginning. After all, there were too many goods in the warehouse, and he would definitely not be able to buy many if he went to a second-hand store.

They first asked a second-hand dealer to come and appraise the price, but they didn't expect to make a lot of money, just enough to make up for their wages.

But they are all honest people who don’t know how to bargain when doing business. The second-hand dealers also saw this and lowered the price very hard.

There were more than 2,000 electric fans in the warehouse. They also looked at the purchase order and calculated that it was worth about 300,000 yuan.

There were also some miscellaneous items, which added up to more than four hundred thousand, and that was the purchase price.

But several second-hand dealers seemed to have colluded with each other and offered lower prices than the others.

The first person offered 60,000, the second offered 55,000, and then less and less, and the last one even said bluntly that he would not accept it, leaving them completely helpless.

Everyone had a family and couldn't afford to delay, so they had originally planned to just sell them. But Chen Bing remembered that one of his fishing friends owned a second-hand shop and might know other second-hand dealers, so he contacted him with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

In the car, Chen Bing had completely calmed down. He now just wanted to sell the things and pay everyone their wages.

"Boss Gu, don't worry. Although those fans are not big-name products, they are of very solid quality. I have brought the purchase order."

Chen Bing is straightforward and honest, and doesn't engage in any pretentious stuff.

Gu En didn't care about the price since he wasn't the one paying for it.

"Don't worry, Uncle Chen. Even though I'm young, I'm still very good at valuation. I will definitely give you a fair price."

"Okay, uncle believes you!" Chen Bing grinned.

Gu En asked, "What strange questions did your boss Huang ask the last time he called? I'm a little curious."

Chen Bing thought for a moment and said, "He asked how many people were left in our company, whether anything had happened recently, whether we had called the police, and so on."

"Oh, maybe he's afraid that you'll report him to the police."

"Hmm...it's possible."

Gu En changed the subject and started chatting, but he was already beginning to feel suspicious and felt that things were not that simple.

Chapter 63 The Woman Behind the Successful Man

The truck drove for more than half an hour and arrived at the corner of Lianjiao City Industrial Zone.

It is called a company here, but in fact it is just a large warehouse with two offices separated by glass.

"Here we are, this is it."

As soon as the car stopped, more than a dozen people came out of the warehouse, looking at Chen Bing expectantly and asking, "Brother Chen, have you called anyone?"

"Here I am!" Chen Bing said with a smile, "Let me introduce you to Boss Gu."

Gu En greeted: "Hello."

"Hello, hello, come in and have a drink of water, it's hot outside."

Everyone welcomed him in warmly. After all, it concerned their two months' salary, so they had to entertain him well no matter what.

Walking into the warehouse, Gu En had a bottle of water and an apple in his hand, and Chen Bing next to him took the opportunity to introduce the products displayed around.

Gu En didn't listen much. He was observing his surroundings, alert for any strange spirits that might appear.

But this warehouse is indeed quite large, and there are many shelves blocking the view. If there is something hiding in the corner, it would be difficult to find it.

Alas~ It’s a pity that Meilu didn’t come, otherwise we would have found it in a moment.

After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Bing had almost finished introducing all the goods in stock, and then everyone looked at Gu En eagerly, waiting for him to make a bid.

But Gu En's mind was wandering and he vaguely sensed something and didn't notice their gazes.

Finally, Chen Bing couldn't help but ask, "Boss Gu, take a look, how much can you sell for these goods?"

Gu En came back to his senses, but his eyes were still on the glass house next to the warehouse door, which should be where the office was located.

I have to find a way to get in and take a look.

"Do you have a target price?" Gu En asked.

Chen Bing looked at the people around him and said hesitantly, "We also know that the inventory will definitely be much cheaper, but we don't know how much cheaper it will be. We don't even know if the price offered by the second-hand dealers in front is fair."

"At first I thought I could just get my salary back, but now I think that's unlikely."

Chen Bing sighed and said, "How about this, 88,000, a lucky number, and we'll sell it to you."

Their heartbeats quickened a little. If Gu En lowered the price to 66,000, they would still sell it.

After all, it has already taken too long, and if it is delayed any further, it will be difficult for them to find a job.

"all right."

Gu En agreed cheerfully, and the others breathed a sigh of relief and laughed excitedly.

But Gu En's next words made the smiles on their faces stop abruptly.

"Eighty-eight thousand for the fan is reasonable, and I can still make a lot of money. I'll give a little more for the other groceries, so fifty thousand... er, let's round it up to a lucky number, sixty-six thousand, how about that?"

These words completely confused Chen Bing and the others. He thought Gu En had misunderstood something, and quickly explained: "Boss Gu, the 88,000 we are talking about refers to all the things in this warehouse. You don't have to..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu En interrupted him and said, "Uncle Chen, I only make money with a clear conscience. If all 88,000 yuan is taken away, I will not feel at ease with the money I have earned."

Although Gu En didn't look at it carefully, he took a quick glance.

The warehouse fan is not a big brand, but it is a military product that has emerged in recent years, the Big Bat brand fan.

And there are many types, including floor fans, cold air fans, circulation fans, and even the recently popular leafless fans. At RMB 88,000, you can definitely make money.

Chen Bing and others were speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, tears welled up in their eyes; they were truly moved.

Gu En struck while the iron was hot and asked, "By the way, how long will it take for this warehouse to expire?"

"About eight months." Chen Bing replied immediately.

"Then put the stuff aside for now. I'll charge you 20,000 yuan for rent... let's round it up to a lucky number, 28,000 yuan."

"No, no, no!" Chen Bing said nervously, "We really can't ask for any more money, otherwise we won't feel at ease."

Gu En didn't force it: "Okay, then Uncle Chen, give me everyone's contact information later. I'll ask you to deliver the goods and I'll pay you the wages."

"This……"

Without waiting for them to say anything, Gu En walked directly to the glass house and said, "I'll go see what else is in there and collect it all."

When I opened the first office, it was empty except for a very long wooden table. It looked like the place where the online store employees used to work.

Gu En said casually: "This table is nice and worth several hundred dollars."

Then go to the next one.

When he put his hand on the door handle, he instantly felt something was wrong.

There is definitely something inside!

Gu En slowly pushed open the door, and what came into view was a standard boss's office.

In the middle was a red solid wood table, covered with a layer of dust, on which were placed tea-making utensils and a Pixiu.

There is a small welcoming pine tree next to the table, and a picture of wealth coming from all directions hangs just above the eyes. It can be said to be very standard.

However, what surprised Gu En was that there were too many lucky charms in the office... weren't they?

In addition to the Pixiu, there are also a fortune cat, a triangular toad and a treasure bowl on the shelf next to it. Near the window, there is also a statue of the God of Wealth.

There are not just one, but nine Gods of Wealth, not one less.

It is common to place fortune-attracting ornaments in the boss’ office, but isn’t it a bit too strange to place so many of them?

Gu En looked around carefully and thought that one of the lucky objects had become infected due to excessive greed.

But after thinking about it, Mr. Huang knew that something was going to happen here, so he called to inquire.

That means...he was the one who brought the infection in!

Finally, Gu En set his sights on the oldest item in the entire office.

Boss chair.

The chair is thick, made of black leather, but it has a heavy patina and it looks like it has been used for a long time.

Gu En didn't even need to get close, just by focusing his eyes, he could feel the strong malice coming from above.

"Uncle Chen!"

Chen Bing was celebrating with his colleagues. When he heard Gu En calling him, he immediately ran over.

"what's up?"
