Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"Privately, let's settle it privately!"

Master Chen spoke before Xu Wanning.

He is already very old. If he were to be taken away by the police and locked up in a dark room, he would have no face to live for the rest of his life!

As for the compensation, he would negotiate it with Xu Wanning after the police left!

Xu Wanning had no intention of sending the two men to jail today. After all, this matter could be big or small. Although the amount involved was relatively large, the current law was not yet so sound. Even if the two men were locked up in a small dark room, it would not meet the standard for sentencing. It would be a waste of time and no one would bear her losses.

After sending the police away, Xu Wanning sat on a stool leisurely. She didn't even look at the father and son. She just said, "Just round up the amount and compensate me 7,500 yuan. As for the follow-up matters, I won't let you worry about it."

She was worried that if the father and son intervened again, things would become more complicated.

Now, Xu Wanning no longer trusts these two people at all.

Master Chen and Chen Jianbin looked at each other, then they pulled out a stool and sat next to Xu Wanning.

"Boss Xu, I admit that Jianbin and I were wrong. We have deeply realized our mistakes and are willing to bear the corresponding losses. It's just that the compensation, do you think... can it be slightly less?"

"After all, the price of a piece of clothing is calculated based on the selling price. The cost is not worth the money at all! How about this, we admit the fine of three thousand, not four thousand yuan, what do you think?"

Four thousand yuan, which directly cut the compensation Xu Wanning asked for in half. I don’t know how this person had the nerve to ask for that!

Xu Wanning didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

But the more she did this, the more unsure Master Chen felt.

After a long while, he said awkwardly: "Can it be done or not? Give me a definite answer!"

"Want a definite answer?" Xu Wanning said expressionlessly, "Only two words, no!"

"I'll give you three days. Within three days, I want to receive 7,500 yuan in compensation. If you get one cent less, I will refuse to settle the matter privately. You can go back to the fence!"

Master Chen was anxious. He was not good at speaking, and now he was particularly emotional: "Didn't I tell you? I didn't say I wouldn't pay you, I just paid less!"

"How much is the cost of a piece of clothing? Don't think we don't know! Why are you asking us for compensation based on the selling price?"

Xu Wanning rolled her eyes in annoyance.

The feeling of playing the lute to a cow is often so helpless.

Yes, the cost price of a piece of clothing is generally around 70 or 80 yuan.

Because the price of fabric is low, the cost is lowered. The other part is the commission of Chen’s father and son, commonly known as labor fee.

As a boss, Xu Wanning is already very generous and the commission he gives is not low at all.

But the cost cannot be judged from these two aspects alone, there are many other factors that need to be considered comprehensively.

For example, rent.

Although the clothing store is a house under Xu Wanning's name, she chose a house with a good location and environment to open the clothing store and became her own landlord. The cost of rent was omitted, but if you really do business, it is impossible not to take this aspect into consideration.

There is also meal allowance.

Xu Wanning handed the task of cooking three meals a day to Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen reported the bill to Lin's mother every ten days. It was about one hundred yuan each time, which came to three hundred yuan a month.

Three hundred yuan was already a huge living expense in the early 1980s. Even if four or five people ate delicious food every day, they could not spend so much money.

You have to know that for someone at Xu's father's level, the monthly salary was only more than two hundred and less than three hundred yuan. More than two hundred yuan was already a high salary in the 1980s.

Sometimes, on Saturdays and weekends, Lin's mother had to work overtime to make clothes and was too late to go home to cook for the children, so the four children would follow her to the garment store to eat.

Although there were four more people, they were all children and their appetites were not big, so it was just a matter of adding a few pairs of chopsticks. Aunt Chen would only add one or two dishes very occasionally.

Even so, every time the children came, she would ask Lin's mother for extra money. Three or five dollars at a time was really a lot.

Mother Lin thought that the arrival of the children did add burden to Aunt Chen's work, and three or five yuan was nothing to her nowadays, so she gave them every time, and everything was fine.

Xu Wanning was not unaware of these things, but to her, these were all trivial matters that could not be made public. The money was also small, so there was no need to hold on to it. When doing business, one had to look at the long term. So even though she knew that the appetites of the Chen family of three had been whetted, Xu Wanning never took it to heart.

If the Chen family had not gone too far this time and touched Xu Wanning's bottom line, she would not have asked Aunt Chen to prepare the account books.

So, to sum up, the cost of a piece of clothing needs to take into account many factors, not just the cost of fabric and labor costs.

As for how much a piece of clothing sells for and whether it can be sold, these are things that the boss Xu Wanning should worry about. It is not the Chen family's turn to interfere.

Moreover, the loss had already occurred. In order to maintain the reputation of the clothing store, Xu Wanning had to give in and pay compensation. The compensation money couldn't come from her personal pocket, right? The person who made the mistake must bear the loss.

Not to mention that the Chen family paid 7,500 yuan in compensation, it is not certain whether it is enough for Xu Wanning to compensate the customers!

But she didn't say this to the Chen family. She was too lazy to talk nonsense with this family.

"Before the police left, they gave you two options: either you follow my plan and pay compensation privately, or you go sit on the fence. There is no third solution!"

Master Chen was extremely angry, but now the evidence was solid, and Xu Wanning's attitude was so firm that even though he was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to accept the compensation of more than 7,000 yuan.

After talking about the Chen family’s father and son, Xu Wanning called Aunt Chen over.

"Have you sorted out the account books?"

Aunt Chen looked embarrassed and whispered, "I have never had the habit of keeping accounts, and it's been so long that I can't remember many accounts clearly."

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember clearly. Let's just count the most recent ones and go by the most recent one."

After saying that, Xu Wanning went straight to the kitchen, took out all the ingredients that Aunt Chen had just bought in the morning, and filled the table with them.

“Is this your food for the week?”
