The ways of the world are indeed like this!

This post was last edited by dearyuer on 2015-7-16 at 14:30. Stories from everyday life – how cruel the world can be! I finally understand why some people will go to extreme lengths to gain that little power! The story is as follows. Recently, the company received a batch of orders from client A. Due to fierce market competition, although the order is secured, the payment terms are very unfavorable. The deposit is extremely high. The company’s products come with complementary parts that need to be purchased. We sent a quote to Factory B, with whom we have collaborated several times and whose reputation and quality are both good, and ultimately entered into a contract with them. And it shifted the cost risks to B—as well as holding their money as collateral. Supplier B has also done a great favor for the boss! Because before concluding a contract with B, the boss consulted many companies. Other companies simply refuse to take on such projects as soon as they hear about the need for a deposit! Later, I heard from person B that B didn’t want to do it either, but since they had worked together a few times before, they felt they had to help out anyway! When the goods from Factory B arrived at the plant, staff were sent to carry out adjustments (we had also met in person and spoken on the phone many times). ). The boss said you go and take care of it. The entire process was spent in the workshop for debugging, over one day. In the evening, the boss said I had something to do, so you should go eat with B. The company has not specified who is responsible for paying for such dinners. That night, B made many calls to N and brought the boss over. Finally, B pays the bill. The next day, another day passed, and the debugging was completed. The boss wasn’t present throughout the whole process. A few days later, the product was completed. Party A sent someone to the site to supervise the inspection and acceptance. (I know them too; we meet up often, and there are also many phone calls. ) The boss drove to pick them up in person, stayed with them throughout the trip, and provided hotel accommodation three times a day. The accommodation is five-star! They speak as if they’re about to bow their heads and kowtow. The story is over!

With customers on one side and suppliers on the other, the treatment is naturally different

Oh, I forgot to write it. Supplier B has also done a great favor for the boss! Because before concluding a contract with B, the boss consulted many companies. Other companies simply refuse to take on such projects as soon as they hear about the need for a deposit! People from team B said that B doesn’t want to do it either, but since they have worked together a few times already, they feel they have to help out if needed! The result... sigh!

Your boss is amazing; no wonder there are fewer people willing to help others these days. Well, it’s the grandfather who borrows the money, while it’s the grandson who comes to collect it.

It’s hard to explain this – whoever pays you is the boss; Who you pay, that’s the grandson. Of course, the term \"grandfather\" and \"grandson\" refers to a traditional understanding; one cannot assume that anyone who owes money is a grandfather.

Otherwise, how could they be bosses? Hey, these days all bosses are raised by their mothers, and they all have the same style. . . . .

Stop using that ‘grandpa’s grandson’ nonsense to justify things! Greater China is the biggest market for Mercedes, Infiniti... and everywhere, it’s the Chinese who hold the upper hand! If B doesn’t take on this order, our boss will have to pay full price to buy goods from someone else! Is such busyness considered minor? Isn’t such hard work worth a word of thanks? Five-star hotels and delicacies are all trivial things. Not even a word of thanks!

Remaining indifferent to the vicissitudes of the world, the heart remains at peace. In the end, life is about one’s mood. Just like fried dough sticks: if they are not subjected to stress, they won’t mature; but if they are constantly under stress, they will become old fried dough sticks. One should also be like steamed buns in life – it’s better to be cautious.

These days, clients keep finding every possible way to deduct money from your project fees, and they act like idiots too; it’s really hard to get paid

Things like this happen often; there are even cooler things than this!
