Chapter 670 Financial Consultant
"Teacher Gu, how do you record this subject?"
In the financial office of Xinyoumin Factory, an accountant in his thirties walked up to the head of the finance department, Lao Gu, holding a stack of subpoenas and asked in a low voice.
Old Gu took the subpoena, picked up the old glasses beside him and put them on. After looking for a few times, he cast an inquiring look at the female accountant.
The female accountant nodded slightly, and Lao Gu sighed and shook his head subconsciously.
"Enter the entertainment expenses and file it under the first-level account of operating expenses..."
"Teacher Gu, this month's operating expenses have exceeded the budget. If more is incurred, it will have an impact." The female accountant reminded in a low voice.
"Overage? What about management fees?"
"It was also over the limit, last Friday...did you forget?"
"Yes, yes, look at my brain. I have completely forgotten what happened just a few days ago." Lao Gu tapped his temple with his finger in self-mockery. After thinking for a while, he said to the female accountant: "How about this, put the other receivables on hold first and adjust them next month."
"Teacher Gu, the other accounts receivable that were pending last month haven't been adjusted this month. Isn't it a bit... to include this one now?" the female accountant asked hesitantly.
"Then what do you say? We can't just not record this account, right? Isn't that what we accountants do? Let's just leave it alone for now, and then slowly find a way to adjust it later. I'm old, and my brain isn't very flexible anymore, unless you can come up with a better solution."
The female accountant looked helpless when she heard what Mr. Gu said. She nodded, sighed, and returned to her seat to continue working.
After the female accountant left, Mr. Gu took off his reading glasses, picked up the cup of water on the table and took a sip.
Looking at the several account books on the table, Lao Gu felt exhausted and extremely tired.
Lao Gu has worked as an accountant all his life and used to be the head of the Finance Department of Quanlin Factory.
Lao Gu is not good at socializing. He only knows how to do his job. He has no objection to who is the leader, as long as he does his own job well.
When Zheng Guoyuan was the factory director, he still respected Lao Gu, an old comrade. Lao Gu had strong professional capabilities. He had already held the position of section chief before Zheng Guoyuan came, and he still held the position after Zheng Guoyuan left.
In Lao Gu's opinion, he is an accountant. He just needs to do his own job well and not get involved in other things. He is just an accountant anyway and he is about to reach the age of retirement. Why should he care about so many things?
It was precisely because of Lao Gu's non-confrontational attitude that after Zheng Guoyuan was driven away by Xu Guochu, Lao Gu not only continued to serve as the head of his finance department, but also remained firmly in the position of section chief after the merger of Youmin Factory and Quanlin Factory.
But as time went on, the merged factory became worse and worse under the management of Xu Guochu and Jiang Youxing.
Originally, the merger of the two factories was a good thing. This was something Zheng Guoyuan had always wanted to do but had not been able to do. Now that the two factories have become one, their scale and strength have been significantly enhanced.
But the problem is that the final result is not one plus one, but the result after the merger is worse than before the merger.
Previously, under the leadership of Zheng Guoyuan, Quanlin Factory was thriving. The factory's performance and financial situation were very good, so Lao Gu's job was very easy.
But after the merger, it was no longer like that. Youmin Factory had been relying on Quanlin Factory to survive, but after the merger, Youmin Factory was left, while Quanlin Factory was gone. This made the people in Quanlin Factory very dissatisfied. In addition, without Zheng Guoyuan, neither Xu Guochu nor Jiang Youxing were good at running a business. The two of them were in cahoots, and they were good at dealing with people, but they were blind to running a business.
In just two months, Xinyoumin Factory's output and sales dropped sharply, and its profits were less than half of the same period last year.
And judging from the current trend, the situation is still deteriorating. The off-season is approaching at the end of the year, but the two factory leaders are not in a hurry at all. Instead, they sit back and relax, as if the factory's situation has nothing to do with them.
Every day at work, he was not busy with production or sales. He only knew to hold meetings to enforce discipline. He spoke eloquently and endlessly in meetings, repeating the principles that everyone knew, like a big leader. He disappeared at noon, going to the restaurant to eat and drink under the pretext of entertaining customers.
After eating and drinking well, they would not come back until three in the afternoon. They would return to the office drunkenly, close the door and go to sleep, and would not wake up until the end of the get off work day.
As for the night, it goes without saying that either they are calling friends to continue eating and drinking, or they don’t even know where they have gone, making the whole factory full of smoke.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the equipment that Xu Guochu got when Zheng Guoyuan was still there. This equipment cost Quanlin Factory a lot of money, and the total amount of money was more than buying a new assembly line.
The problem is that the money has been spent, but the equipment is still unusable. After being repaired many times, it is still thrown in the warehouse. According to what the comrades in the machine repair room said privately, the purchased parts are expensive and unsuitable. If they continue to mess with it, the equipment will only be used as scrap metal.
That’s not all. As soon as the two factories merged, the factory office announced the news of building a building.
The money for building the house was accumulated by Quanlin Factory with great difficulty. Zheng Guoyuan originally planned to wait until Quanlin Factory had a foundation next year to use it as funds to expand production and introduce a full set of advanced production lines. But now, Xu Guochu and Jiang Youxing actually set their eyes on this money and directly took out the money to build the house.
When it comes to building houses, the good name is to improve people's living conditions, but in fact the houses have not been built yet, but how to distribute the houses has already been arranged.
Ordinary cadres and employees had no share. The only people eligible to get houses were Xu Guochu and Jiang Youxing and a few of their close confidants. Even the chief financial officer like Lao Gu was not on the list of people to get houses. When the news got out, everyone in the factory was extremely dissatisfied, but they could do nothing about Xu Guochu and Jiang Youxing.
The two of them have now taken control of the entire Xinyoumin Factory, especially some key positions, including the security department.
All the original security department staff were sent to the workshops or warehouses. Now the security department is filled with a group of social personnel hired by Xu Guochu. These people follow Xu Guochu's orders. They fight east when Xu Guochu says east, and rush west when Xu Guochu says west. They are good at fighting ruthlessly and bravely, and they are particularly cruel when beating people. Ordinary employees dare not speak out when they suffer losses.
Lao Gu was feeling restless. As the chief financial officer, he knew the current situation of the factory best.
After a few months, the Quanlin Factory was ruined beyond recognition by Xu Guochu and Jiang Youxing. The monthly entertainment expenses and abnormal expenditures remained high, the production losses were several times higher than before, and the output actually decreased a lot.
In addition, the supply and marketing department has been controlled by Xu Guochu and others, the market is shrinking, and the cost is increasing. Old Gu, an old accountant, can see through all the tricks at a glance, not to mention that Xu Guochu and Jiang Youxing were too lazy to cover up and did something particularly excessive.
If this continues, the factory will be ruined. Lao Gu felt very uncomfortable. Although he and Zheng Guoyuan had a normal relationship at the beginning, and they were just superiors and subordinates, so when Zheng Guoyuan left Quanlin Factory, Lao Gu did not say anything for Zheng Guoyuan, but now thinking back, he was wrong at that time, the factory really couldn't do without Zheng Guoyuan!
Now the factory has fallen into the hands of two bastards Xu Guochu and Jiang Youxing . Old Gu feels very uncomfortable watching the factory being ruined by them.
But what can he do? He is just a small financial section chief, and he will be retired next year.
Due to a lifetime of caution and the special reasons of his job, Lao Gu has developed a character of watching more and talking less. He will not say it even if he feels uncomfortable.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. The young people in the office packed up and left as soon as they got off work. Old Gu still followed his old habit. Before leaving, he carefully checked whether the doors and windows were closed and the safe was safe. He was the last one to leave work.
After leaving the office and walking along the corridor, whenever he met colleagues who greeted him, Lao Gu nodded to them with the same expression as usual.
He came to the bicycle shed, took out the goldfish key ring woven with plastic tape, unlocked the bike, pushed the bike out of the factory gate, and then rode towards home.
On the way home, Lao Gu stopped by the market to buy some vegetables, which he put in the basket on the front of his bicycle and took away.
When I got home, my wife was already cooking. Lao Gu's children are all married and do not live with him and his family. However, grandchildren over every Sunday. This day is the happiest day for Lao Gu.
"Why buy more when we already have vegetables at home?" Seeing that Mr. Gu came back with some vegetables, his wife couldn't help but blame him.
"I passed by and saw that it was fresh, and the price was cheap in the evening, so I bought some. If I don't eat it today, I can eat it tomorrow." Lao Gu said with a smile, and his wife rolled her eyes at him. His wife had been working as an accountant for a long time and liked to calculate these things, but why didn't he think about whether these vegetables could be eaten after being left for another day? Although it was autumn now, Jinling was always hot. The autumn heat was not just a casual remark, so why didn't he think about it?
But his wife didn't say much. She took the dishes and went to the kitchen to busy herself. Lao Gu took off his coat, washed his face first, then took a copy of the Jinling Evening News and started reading. Half an hour later, his wife called Lao Gu to eat, and he put down the newspaper and had dinner with his wife.
While we were eating, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" my wife turned around and called out.
"Is Teacher Gu at home?" a strange voice asked at the door.
"Looking for you." The old wife said to Lao Gu and continued to eat his own food. Lao Gu had almost finished his meal. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and opened the door. When the door opened, he saw three people standing at the door, a middle-aged man in his forties, a man in his thirties, and a female comrade of the same age.
"Are you Mr. Gu?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile when he saw that it was Mr. Gu who opened the door.
"I am, and you are...?" Lao Gu looked at the other party in confusion. He didn't know these three people. How could they know who I was as soon as they met?
"Hello, Teacher Gu..." The middle-aged man glanced into the room and saw that Old Gu's wife was eating. He hesitated and said to Old Gu, "Teacher Gu, can we find a place to chat?"
"you……?"
"Oh, we are from the Discipline Inspection Commission. Don't be nervous. We are here to find out some information from you. I think it is not convenient to talk at home. Is there a quiet place for us to chat?" The middle-aged man took out his work ID from his pocket and showed it to Lao Gu. When Lao Gu saw the work ID with a red seal and a photo in the black artificial leather cover, he was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and it took him a moment to come back to his senses.
