"Zhejiang Wenzhou, Zhejiang Wenzhou, the largest leather factory, Jiangnan Leather Factory has gone bankrupt! The bastard boss Huang He gambled and gambled, owing 350 million yuan, and ran away with his sister-in-law. We have no choice but to use our wallets to offset our wages. The original price was over three hundred, over two hundred, and over one hundred yuan for the wallets, all for twenty yuan, all for twenty yuan! Huang He, you bastard, you are not human, we worked hard for you for more than half a year, you didn't pay us wages, give me back my hard-earned money, give me back my hard-earned money!"
The familiar tune seemed to echo in his mind. Sitting in his spacious 240-square-meter rosewood office, Huang He touched his chin, lost for words.
"I actually became Huang He, and I really have to run away!"
Huang He was indeed named Huang He, but this Huang He was not that Huang He.
The original Huang He was a miserable marketing planner for a general agent in China in 2021. The current Huang He has become the chairman of Jiangnan Leather Factory, with fixed assets claimed to be over 100 million yuan... not counting the 350 million yuan in foreign debt that Huang He still owed.
In his previous life, Huang He deeply hated the internet memes and jokes about Jiangnan Leather Factory because they led to him, with the same name, enduring a lot of teasing, with people constantly asking about his sister-in-law.
Heaven knows, Huang He didn't even have a girlfriend, let alone a sister-in-law!
"Huang He, pay up!"
"Huang He, pay up!"
"Huang He, return all our money to us!!"
"Brother-in-law, what should we do?" a slightly panicked voice sounded in Huang He's ear. Huang He looked over and unconsciously swallowed.
What a charming woman. Although she was only wearing a simple OL uniform and light makeup, she exuded a charm all over. Especially under the overly tight uniform, her perfect S-shaped devilish figure was revealed.
"Gulp!" Huang He swallowed and instinctively asked, "What did you call me?"
"Brother-in-law!" the beauty said panicked, "Brother-in-law, don't scare me, are you scared silly!"
"That's good, that's good!" Huang He finally understood why the Huang He of his previous life wanted to run away with his sister-in-law. Because he himself now wanted to embrace his charming sister-in-law and run away. Staying in this Jiangnan Leather Factory was a dead end, and escape was the only way to survive!
"Brother-in-law, hurry up and think of a solution!" his sister-in-law said.
"Okay, go and tell the security guard that I will come down in ten minutes to talk with the workers." Huang He nodded. His sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went out.
"Let me think... let me think!" Huang He rubbed his head, contemplating a way out of this predicament.
At this moment, a lot of Huang He's memories flooded into his head. Based on these memories, Huang He pieced together the life of the original owner of this body.
This Huang He was also considered a semi-second-generation rich heir.
His childhood was difficult, but starting from '88, his parents began operating a leather business, and their family situation gradually improved. By 1998, Huang He reached the peak of his life. Under his parents' management, Jiangnan Leather Factory had assets of over 100 million yuan, and he became a bona fide second-generation heir.
However, the year 2000 became a turning point. In this year, his wife, whom he had married only a year ago, passed away from acute leukemia. To make matters worse, his parents also died in a car accident.
Thus, the entire Jiangnan Leather Factory fell into the hands of Huang He, who was only 23 years old at the time.
Huang He, at that time, was still ambitious and planned to do great things. He was not satisfied with the wallet product line established by his parents and successively launched three different production lines for leather shoes, belts, and bags. He also took out a loan of 350 million yuan to expand production, recruit more staff, and establish his own brand, Jiangnan Leather Goods, intending to make a big splash. xxs1
Actually, Huang He's actions were not wrong. After all, China was about to join the WTO, and orders from all over the world would pour in. Jiangnan Leather Factory might even soar and become the Chanel of China.
But Huang He did not live to see the day China joined the WTO. By the end of 2000, almost all the products manufactured by Jiangnan Leather Factory were in a state of unsalable inventory, with market reviews being overwhelmingly negative. Many cooperating distributors also stopped their collaborations.
More importantly, Jiangnan Leather Factory's main business was OEM for some well-known brands. However, because Jiangnan Leather Factory intended to develop its own brand, the brands that had commissioned them also withdrew their orders, as they could not nurture a competitor for themselves.
As a result, Jiangnan Leather Factory fell into a desperate situation, with no orders for six consecutive months. However, products continued to be manufactured endlessly, piling up in warehouses. To this day, the workers have not received their wages for over three months.
Even more critical, the bank was now pressuring Huang He to repay the loan, but Huang He's bank account had less than 100,000 yuan in cash remaining.
So, to put it bluntly, Huang He was doomed. There was no other way out except to run.
"Run quickly! Take this 100,000 yuan and your sister-in-law and run!" a tempting voice echoed in his head. Huang He almost lost control and ran away.
"No, I can't repeat this life. Should I go back to selling Gundam lucky bags in Taobao stores like in my past life? At the very least, this world must not have that damned 'Jiangnan Leather Factory has gone bankrupt' anymore!" Huang He stood up, clenching his fists. He was unwilling to repeat the fate of being a joke in a viral song.
"Calm down, there are two biggest problems now. One is the workers below, plus their three months of unpaid wages, totaling about 5 million yuan."
"The other is the bank loan. According to the agreement, I must repay 40 million yuan to the bank tomorrow, otherwise it will be a loan default, and the bank has the right to seize all my collateral!"
"As long as these two problems are solved, my Jiangnan Leather Factory can continue to survive!" Thinking of this, Huang He felt it was better not to be calm.
Because solving these two problems together would require 45 million yuan, and there was less than a day left.
As for borrowing money, everyone in Wenzhou now knew about Huang He's and Jiangnan Leather Factory's situation. No one would be willing to lend money to Huang He for it to be thrown into the water.
Huang He thought for less than a minute before his head started to ache severely. It was better to run than to die.
"Brother-in-law, it's been ten minutes!" the sound of his sister-in-law's high heels clicking was very rapid and crisp.
"I know, leave everything to your brother-in-law!" Huang He took a deep breath, pushed open the office door, and strode out.
However, his sister-in-law's face turned red because her small hand was now being held by her brother-in-law.
Brother-in-law... annoying...
