"How long will your ship be overhauled?" asked Judy's father with a last glimmer of hope.

The manager shook his head. "I don't know. The inspection may take two or three days. If there is no problem, it can be put into use."

Before Judy's father could be happy, the manager said, "but if something goes wrong, no one knows how long it will stop."

"What about other ships? Have they returned to Hong Kong in these two days?"

The manager took out a book from his desk and turned a few pages. "A ship will return to port in four days. It will take about two days to load and unload. It will be almost out of port next week."

Next week, really wait until next week, the ashes are cold!

Judy's father couldn't help swearing. He also knew that the transportation company couldn't be blamed. Such things happen from time to time when encountering reefs, but this time it's too unlucky.

He looked at the manager. The manager immediately realized something, took a step back, raised his hands as if he were resisting something, "we don't refund the deposit..."

Yes, the deposit is not refunded. If you want to order the warehouse, you must have a deposit. No matter whether the party ordering the service continues to perform the contract or not, the money will not be refunded.

And not less, Judy's father realized that the money might have to be carried by himself. He cursed and left the room.

Fortunately, he can recover some losses. He can contact other people who want to transport goods and transfer his ordered positions in a cheap way, so that he can get back at least one or two thousand yuan.

He left here and went to other places to ask, but unfortunately, when others heard what company he came from and what his name was, they said they were powerless to his requirements.

He ran all day. No company could help him. Someone suggested that he go somewhere else.

But the problem is... If he pulls the goods from a warehouse to other places, the transportation cost of land transportation, the labor cost of moving into the warehouse and the rental of the warehouse will be a great expense, and time allows him to do so.

He is now in a state of confusion. Yesterday it seemed that everything was normal, but overnight, everything changed.

He returned to the original shipping company and came to the manager again. He looked at the manager with a strange expression.

Adults, or a successful adult in the eyes of ordinary people, are not so naive and naive.

He gave each other a cigarette, sat on the sofa, bowed his head and smoked.

After a while, he asked, "am I targeted?"

He has cooperated with the communication company for several years and their relationship is also very harmonious. The manager looks at the old friend and doesn't know how to speak.

The federal shipping is controlled by several ship kings. These people can be said to occupy 90% of the shipping market. They have their own territory and do not conflict with each other.

Sometimes they can cooperate with each other. Like all industries, once the interior is closed and a monopoly group is formed, it is difficult for outsiders to enter.

In a sense, these small transportation companies are like middlemen.

They rent cargo ships from the ship king and run their own business, which is what most transportation companies do.

They can't support the expensive production and maintenance costs of cargo ships. It's easier to charter a ship than to buy a cargo ship and bear the huge cost to operate.

Some people may say that if you charter a boat, a lot of money will be made by others.

Yes, that's what I said, but the money for buying a boat by myself is enough. They rent five or even ten boats. Ten boats run together. Maybe they can earn the money for one boat in a short time!

Capital is never stupid. If there is no profit, no considerable profit, and no one needs to tell them that the industry does not make money, they will retire on their own initiative!

Today, the ship king of this area told the following contractors that it is forbidden to pull the goods of XX company within a week, otherwise they will end their cooperation.

In this era of frequent international trade, it's better to kill these transportation companies to end the cooperative relationship!

Just a phone call completely cut off Judy's father's idea.

"I don't know what's going on. Maybe... You offended people you shouldn't offend. In short, don't want to go to sea this week!"

Judy's father returned to the company with some disturbing speculation. He reported these things to the board of directors. The board of directors unexpectedly didn't intervene, but asked him to fulfill the contract as soon as possible.

If the company loses money because of his heavy losses, the company will investigate his personal responsibility, and the company's response is very cold.

We are not fools. We used to do business well. Suddenly, a senior partner's daughter went to target Lynch and the ship king said an embargo. Isn't it obvious?

Judy's father also realized that things were just as he guessed. There was only despair except despair!

When he realized that Lynch was doing it, he had completely lost hope. Maybe it was just a phone call and a statement for Lynch, which easily destroyed his life.

He has no way to angrily accuse Lynch. His daughter made a mistake first. This is just Lynch's counterattack.

In the evening, some haggard male owners drove home. He sat in the car and didn't want to go down.

It seems that sitting in this narrow space can make him feel an unexpected safety. He holds the steering wheel and wants to cry.

After sitting in the car for more than half an hour and smoking several cigarettes, I got out of the car.

When he returned to his study, he immediately opened the safe and saw the contract.

He is a senior partner. In a way, he is a partner of the factory. The two sides are no longer one.

The contract is in his hand.

He still remembers the excitement when he won the order through his own relationship. One side of the agreement is a foreign company, and the other side... Is himself.

He quickly turned to the last page, with 150000 liquidated damages and 3% compound interest every day until the transaction was completed.

According to the current situation, the shipment of the goods will be delayed until next week and then delivered. It will be at least five to six days overdue.

According to the calculation of five days... He wrote and drew on the paper for a while, more than 170000.

Damn!

He sat in his chair as if he were dead.

At dinner in the evening, in order not to worry his family, he took a bath, changed his clothes and pretended to be energetic.

Only when he sat in the restaurant did he find that his wife also had a sad face.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

The hostess opened her mouth. Just as she was about to say something, Judy came out of the room and closed her mouth again.

Judy thought her parents would continue to preach herself. She was ready to leave immediately, but unexpectedly, her parents didn't continue to preach her.

But the atmosphere of this dinner was very depressed. The hosts and hostesses were lowering their heads and thinking about their own affairs. The air was about to solidify.

Judy couldn't stand the atmosphere. She sat for a while after dinner. She thought her parents would say something to her, but no one spoke. She got up and left, and no one shouted at her.

This atmosphere made her very upset. She didn't know what had happened and her heart beat badly.

After dinner, the couple did not watch TV, but directly returned to the room. They lay in bed and looked at the ceiling. No one spoke for a long time.

For about ten minutes, the host said, "tell me first, what bad happened today?"

The hostess also realized something. She sighed, "I'm hosting a project recently, you know."

The man nodded. He knew that his wife worked in a financial company, was also a partner and belonged to the middle and upper class.

"Today, the bank refused to grant us the loan and claimed that our evaluation was wrong. In addition to investigating the responsibility of the evaluation company, it also had to take back the loan that had been issued."

"I wrote the project book myself, and I decided on the specific contents. Now the board of directors thinks I screwed up this big business, and they are going through the procedure."

The hostess sighed again, "at most, I will be fired at the weekend. If they are not willing to bear the losses themselves, they may also investigate my responsibility."

Very frustrated. People in the financial industry know very well that losing money in a financial project is not terrible. No one can ensure that every project makes money.

The terrible thing is that the project was directly destroyed for personal reasons. Some people now suspect that she has a behind the scenes transaction with the evaluation company. With the action of the bank, she is on the red list in this circle.

Ordinary companies will no longer use her. She must face the choice of changing careers and ruin her future.

In fact, at this time, she didn't feel too desperate. After all, her husband still has a very good job. If she can cope with the next investigation, she will have a chance to re-enter the industry.

But at the dinner table, when she saw her husband, she realized that everything was over.

"It's your turn..." she turned to her husband, who said everything that had happened today and told his wife her guess.

"It has absolutely something to do with Lynch. Only he has so much energy to trap us at the same time."

The wife nodded and asked, "if you pay the money, how much money do we have to deal with emergencies?"

The husband turned and sat up. He took some documents from his study. After calculating all their wealth, he was a little decadent. "If they don't investigate our responsibility, there will be less than 50000 yuan left in the end."

"We now have a monthly bill of more than 3000 yuan. With daily expenses, we can only support half a year at most."

The wife was silent for a moment. "You can sell my car first. How much is it worth?"
