Chapter 241: Thinking about Home in Everything
"Yuliang, you have worked really hard during this period." He Yuzhu said with emotion, "It is all thanks to you that our supermarket has achieved what it has today."
He Yuliang smiled and said, "Brother, this is the result of our family's joint efforts. There is still a long way to go in the future, and we must continue to work hard together."
He Yushui nodded, tears flashing in her eyes: "Yes, Yuliang, we will always support you and make the supermarket better together."
A few days later, He Yuliang gradually became familiar with the details of the new cooperation, but another question kept lingering in his mind - how to get back the money owed. He knew that cash flow was crucial to the operation of the supermarket, and the money owed had always been a hidden danger. After a few days of thinking and planning, he decided to go to the restaurant in person to ask for the money.
This restaurant is located at the other end of the city and is a popular restaurant. A few years ago, the restaurant owner Li Qiang borrowed a large sum of money from He Yuliang due to capital turnover problems. Li Qiang promised to repay the loan on time, but for various reasons, he has been in arrears until now.
Early in the morning, He Yuliang put on simple and capable clothes and drove to the restaurant. The sun shone on his face through the car window, and He Yuliang's expression was serious and determined. He knew that this negotiation must be successful, otherwise it would have a significant impact on the supermarket's capital chain.
In front of the restaurant, there was a lot of traffic and people coming and going. He Yuliang took a deep breath and walked into the restaurant. The environment inside was very lively, diners were chatting and laughing, waiters were busy shuttling back and forth, and the whole restaurant was filled with the aroma of food.
"Hello, how can I help you?" a young waiter asked politely.
"Hello, I'm looking for your boss Li Qiang. Is he here?" He Yuliang replied with a smile.
The waiter nodded and pointed in the direction of the kitchen: "Boss Li is in the kitchen. I'll take you there."
He Yuliang followed the waiter to the kitchen and saw Li Qiang busy directing the chefs to cook. He stepped forward and whispered, "Li Qiang, can we chat for a while?"
Li Qiang looked up and saw He Yuliang, with an awkward smile on his face: "Yuliang, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
He Yuliang nodded and followed Li Qiang to the office. The office was small but tidy, with various honorary certificates and awards hanging on the wall, showing the glorious history of the restaurant.
"Li Qiang, how is business these days?" He Yuliang asked straight to the point after sitting down.
Li Qiang sighed, looking a little tired: "Business is not bad, but capital turnover has been tight. You know, the economic environment has been bad in recent years, and small restaurants like us have also been affected a lot."
He Yuliang smiled slightly: "I understand. Li Qiang, I came here for an important matter. The money we lent you before has been delayed for a long time. We also need funds to expand our business now. I hope you can pay it back as soon as possible."
Li Qiang's smile froze after hearing this. He scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed: "Yuliang, it's not that I don't want to pay it back, you know, the cash flow is really tight during this period. I have been trying to find a way, but I really can't get enough money together."
He Yuliang looked directly into Li Qiang's eyes, his tone firm but gentle: "Li Qiang, I understand your difficulties, but you also know that this money is also very important to us. We are also expanding our business and have a great demand for funds. I hope you can understand our situation and find a way to pay it back as soon as possible."
Li Qiang was silent for a while, with a hint of apology on his face: "Yuliang, I'm really sorry. Money is really tight these days. Give me some time, I will raise funds as soon as possible and try to pay it back as soon as possible."
He Yuliang nodded. Although he was a little disappointed, he remained polite and friendly: "Okay, Li Qiang, I believe you are a trustworthy person. I hope we can solve this problem as soon as possible. We are all friends, and I don't want to affect our relationship because of money."
Li Qiang nodded gratefully: "Yuliang, thank you for your understanding. I will definitely find a way to pay it back as soon as possible. Please bear with me during this period."
He Yuliang stood up and said goodbye, leaving the restaurant. On the way home, he was filled with emotion, knowing that it would not be easy to get back the money owed, but he still decided to stick with it. He understood that as an operator, he not only had to face market competition, but also had to deal with various complex interpersonal relationships.
A few days later, He Yuliang received another call from Li Qiang. On the other end of the phone, Li Qiang's voice sounded a little excited: "Yuliang, I have collected some money. I will pay you back part of it first, and I will make up the rest as soon as possible."
He Yuliang was delighted: "Okay, Li Qiang, thank you for your efforts. Let's meet and talk in detail."
In a quiet cafe, He Yuliang and Li Qiang sat down. Li Qiang handed He Yuliang a thick envelope containing part of the debt. He Yuliang took the envelope and felt a little relieved.
"Yuliang, this is part of the money I can raise at the moment. I will continue to work hard to raise the rest and pay it back as soon as possible." Li Qiang said sincerely.
He Yuliang nodded: "Thank you, Li Qiang. I believe you will pay it back as soon as possible. We are friends, and I will give you more time and space during this period."
Li Qiang said gratefully: "Yuliang, thank you for your understanding and support. I will definitely pay off the debt as soon as possible and will not let you down."
They chatted for a while, He Yuliang learned about Li Qiang's difficulties and plans in detail, and gave him some practical suggestions. The two men re-deepened their trust and friendship.
After returning home, He Yuliang handed the money to his parents and explained the situation in detail. His parents looked at He Yuliang with gratitude, and his mother said: "Yuliang, you are really our good child. You always think about your family."
He Yuliang smiled and said, "Mom, this is what I should do. As long as our family works together, any difficulties can be overcome."
In the following days, He Yuliang continued to be busy with the operation of the supermarket and the expansion of the online store. Every day he thought about how to improve the business and how to satisfy more customers. He knew that only by continuous innovation and hard work can he remain invincible in the fierce market competition.
One night, He Yuliang was processing orders in the office when he suddenly received a call. A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yuliang, this is Li Jianwei. How are you doing recently?"
He Yuliang smiled and said, "Jianwei, long time no see. Everything is fine here. The business of the supermarket and the online store are growing steadily. What about you? What have you been busy with recently?"
Li Jianwei smiled and said, "I'm not bad here either. The company has a new project recently. I want to talk to you and see if there is any possibility of cooperation."
