Yesterday I heard a friend who is in the textile business playing the song “The Wrong Person” by Elva Hsiao on an infinite single loop, and heard the lyrics singing:
“Knowing that love is not firm
But I still jumped in as hard as I could
I knew I might be in jail if I left again
But I still believed it was just torture
…
But being a human being is already so tiring
I still pretend to want to escape”
…
I thought this friend was broken up in love. Later, when we chatted, I found out that he was worried about the money that he would not get back. After careful inquiry, I found that one of his old customers still owed him more than one million yuan but had not remitted it. However, my friend spent all his money on costs, but the money he earned was delayed. Too late to get into the pocket. This sad love song actually sounded to him the helplessness of life, and the lyrics seemed to have changed into the following:
I know that the promise is not solid
But I still Jump in with all your strength
Knowing that waiting may be a “trap”
But I still believe it is just suffering
…
Do it The business is already so tiring
But you still lied to me that you will pay me back tomorrow! !
……
At first I thought this It’s just an isolated phenomenon, so the editor specially visited several textile companies.
When asked if there were any uncollected debts outside, a textile trading boss named Xu was a little surprised. He said: “I think most people doing business are outside. It is normal to have unpaid money. If you have been doing business for a long time, you will have more or less uncollected money. The phenomenon of customers taking the goods first and then paying is something that has always existed. Everyone is used to it. I acquiesced.” Later, he added: “The situation of failure to collect payment is more common among pure traders.”
Another textile boss also said: “Agree to the debt demands of old customers. It can be said that it is a last resort. Everyone does not like the business of handing over money and delivering goods. However, the reality is that if you do not agree to other people’s debt requirements, you are likely to lose a customer. In order to keep an order, sometimes even though you feel uncomfortable I am willing but can only agree to other people’s requests to take risks. But as a businessman, it is really a headache to keep asking for outstanding debts.”
Boss Bu also said: “Dunning payment It is a slow and difficult thing. Some customers owe money to Boss Bu, but they only pay one-fifth or even less of the money on each repayment date, and then place another order.” Boss Bu In this case, in order to get back the previous arrears, you can only continue to take another order, and you will be trapped in a cycle. It may take half a year, a year, or even longer for all the arrears to be settled.
After visiting, we discovered that the phenomenon of arrears is still common. This phenomenon is another annoying problem for Boss Bu in addition to rising costs and other factors. I thought of those hot words about textiles: picking up goods with money, cash settlement, payment by appointment… I thought that arrears were no longer popular, but now I learned that the behavior of arrears has been deeply ingrained in the minds of many businessmen, and many people I think this is a normal thing, so this phenomenon will not disappear yet. On the other hand, when faced with credit requests from old customers, most cloth bosses will have to agree in order to retain customers. However, it is easy to pay back debts and difficult to pay back, so some people will always fall into the endless loop of the capital chain.
In order to get back the money owed, if the bosses urge the customers to pay back the money every day, they will be afraid of being bored by others. If they don’t push the customers, they will seem to have deliberately forgotten the matter, which is still a lot of effort.
Here I just want to say to those who still owe money to others and have yet to pay it back. It is not easy for everyone to do business. You can’t just think about yourself as a person. Paying back money as soon as possible can lead to a better future. To cooperate. Another month has passed. Everyone should pay back the money as soon as possible. The poor cloth bosses are still waiting for their hard-earned money.
PS: Finally, here is a tip for all cloth bosses who are waiting for the repayment of debts. If your customers turn a blind eye to your reminders, you can try emoticon bombing, such as the following:
If he is still indifferent, you can send him a voice to sing the beginning of the editor The adapted song “The Wrong Person”, I hope that even if he is not moved by you, he will be nagged to death by you and then pay back the money obediently~
