Campus Master Chapter 561-562

Chapter 561

“Buzz~~!”

The roar of the engine rang out continuously, showing how powerful the car’s motor was.

The black BMW x6 sped down the road, Guo Tao’s driving skills were extremely good, and coupled with the high performance of the BMW x6, it made the car so smooth that if you didn’t look outside the car, you simply couldn’t feel that it was moving!

Ji Feng sat in the back seat with his eyes slightly closed, looking as if he was asleep. But in reality, at this moment, he was meditating with his eyes closed, and some impressions about the destination of this trip – Hangzhou – came to his mind.

Hang is not the nearest city to Jiangzhou; there are several other county and prefecture-level cities in the vicinity of Jiangzhou, and all of them are still quite developed, some of them are almost completely industrialised small cities, and the population of just such a small city is less than a tenth of that of a second-tier city in the northern or central regions, but the total output value of the city is similar.

This shows how industrially developed this little county-level city is!

However, as the capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hangzhou has advantages that are hard to match with those smaller cities, both in terms of location and policies, which are extremely obvious!

Perhaps it was for this reason that Xiao Changhe and Lin Shengping had set their sights on Hangzhou.

After all, if they could open up the market in Hangzhou, it would be much easier to form a huge sales network by radiating towards the nearby cities.

Only, Xiao Changhe and Lin Shengping had been deceived this time, but that did not mean that their choice and vision was wrong!

If one were to follow normal thinking, even if it were Ji Feng, he would have made the same choice as Xiao Changhe.

What was unfortunate for Xiao Changhe was that he and Lin Shengping had met a con man whose tactics were not very clever, but very effective, and the other party had taken advantage of their eagerness for success, thus setting a trap.

The journey from Jiangzhou to Hangzhou was almost two hours if one drove fast, which was not that far.

Ji Feng had to have a rough plan of action within these two hours, otherwise, when he arrived in Hangzhou, he was unfamiliar with the city and would definitely be restricted in every way.

It was a must to rendezvous with Xiao Changhe and Lin Shengping after arriving in Hangzhou.

It was imperative to pay off all the money from the bidding and first of all, to free Xiao Changhe from legal responsibility, at least for the time being, not to have any entanglement with the officials.

In addition, Ji Feng will have to take a good look at the director of the pharmaceutical factory, who is able to fool Xiao Changhe and make him pay out money even though he is helpless, this person’s ability is definitely not ordinary, and I believe he is not a simple person, so we should pay attention to him and also be vigilant.

Since the other party dares to cheat so blatantly, they will obviously have something to fall back on, or at least, they have the bottom line, they are not afraid of you to find!

Under such circumstances, Ji Feng would have to be even more vigilant, after all, that was Hangzhou City, not Jiangzhou.

Moreover, this matter from the beginning until the end, it looks very much like a formal operation, the ID card was also handed over by Xiao Changhe on his own initiative, with the other party’s style of action, I believe there will never be any evidence left for you to check. This kind of situation even in Jiangzhou, if from formal channels, Ji Feng is also helpless.

To put it bluntly, this is actually a fraudulent purchase!

It was nothing more than having Xiao Changhe spend a large amount of money on raw stones that were originally useless, things were that simple.

“This is a difficult character ……” Ji Feng couldn’t help but secretly shake his head, this time he might really have to spend money to buy a lesson!

Subsequently, Ji Feng changed no longer think more, because from the current situation to analyze, there is nothing you can do, only wait to see Xiao Changhe, and then ask about the details in detail, before you can think of a solution.

Ji Feng and Guo Tao started their journey at seven o’clock in the morning, and it was just after ten o’clock in the morning when they arrived in Jiangzhe Hangzhou.

When Ji Feng and Guo Tao had just left the toll station, they saw a black Mercedes waiting at the exit just off the highway.

There was also a man standing by the side of the car, but it was the general manager of Changhe Pharmaceutical Company, Lin Shengping.

Ji Feng smiled at once, and could see that these two were really in a hurry. Otherwise, how could Lin Shengping have come directly to the toll station to wait? It was almost as if he was greeting the leader who had come to inspect!

“Guo Tao, stop in front of that black Mercedes, that’s the person we’re looking for!” Ji Feng said with a smile.

“Yes!” Guo Tao immediately answered and parked the car a few meters away from the Mercedes.

Once he saw Ji Feng get out of the car, Lin Shengping hurriedly walked over, shook hands with Ji Feng and said, “Mr. Ji, the boss is waiting for you at the hotel!”

Ji Feng smiled and nodded, saying, “Let’s go, you lead the way in front.”

Lin Shengping immediately said, “Okay, you guys follow me!”

The duo got back into the car and headed straight for the hotel where Xiao Changhe was staying.

The hotel where Xiao Changhe and Lin Shengping were staying was called the West Lake Hotel, a four-star hotel.

When Ji Feng arrived here, Xiao Changhe was frowning tightly, smoking a cigarette and walking back and forth in the hotel room, looking very irritable and restless, completely devoid of the steadiness that he used to have. Obviously, this matter had made him very anxious.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will be relieved to know that Xiao Changhe has reached middle age and has worked hard for one or two decades to achieve the current size of his company. Originally, he had wanted to take advantage of this good momentum of development to take the company one step further and expand to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, he did not expect to step into the trap dug by others and fall headlong.

Xiao Changhe originally wanted to leave his daughter a stable and growing company, but now, all he can leave her is a pile of debts, which makes him extremely frustrated!

Furthermore, Xiao Changhe had never been so ambitious in his life, but he was just about to fight for his life again, but he was now in such a situation, which was a great blow to him.

Under such circumstances, how could he be quiet, where would he still be stable?

“Uncle Xiao!” As soon as Ji Feng pushed the door in, he saw this dishevelled look of Xiao Changhe, the room was filled with smoke, and a pungent smell of smoke almost made it impossible to open one’s eyes.

“Ji Feng, you’re here!” When Xiao Changhe saw Ji Feng, he couldn’t help but blush with an old face and asked with some embarra*sment.

“Uncle Xiao, you’re ……” Ji Feng couldn’t help but shake his head slightly and said, “It’s no big deal, it’s just a deception, no one can guarantee that they will be successful in their lifetime, just a little bump in the road, don’t take it to Don’t take it to heart!”

When Xiao Changhe heard this, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, sighing, “Xiao Feng, Uncle Xiao has never suffered such a big loss in his life, the other party is obviously a fraud, but I still have to bashfully go and give money to others, this is really …… alas! It’s a loser!”

“Boss, it’s all my fault, if I hadn’t strongly suggested to expand the company’s business, we wouldn’t have fallen for the scam ……” Lin Shengping said apologetically from the side.

Xiao Changhe waved his hand and said, “How can I blame you for this, you also have good intentions, it was me who didn’t recognize the other party’s tricks, that’s why ……”

Ji Feng gestured to Guo Tao, who immediately pulled a chair over and sat at the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

“Uncle Xiao, this is not the time to pursue responsibility, I want to know the details of the process after you came to Jiangzhou!” Ji Feng said.

Xiao Changhe shook his head slightly and said, “It’s better to let Shengping speak!”

Ji Feng nodded, with Xiao Changhe’s mental state at this moment, it really wasn’t suitable for him to present the situation either. His gaze looked towards Lin Shengping and said with a smile, “General Lin, tell us about the situation!”

Lin Shengping then nodded slightly and said, “When we first arrived in Hangzhou, the first thing we contacted was a pharmaceutical company called Yuantai Pharmaceutical, at that time we went directly to the Yuantai building, made an appointment with their receptionist and agreed to meet with their sales head the next day.”

“Yuantai Pharmaceuticals …… this I know, a large pharmaceutical group that you can often see on TV commercials!” Ji Feng nodded slightly, this Yuantai Group is still very strong, in various local TV stations and CCTV are often able to see, like what xx oral liquid ah, what what what special effect medicine and so on, advertising is simply overwhelming.

If we could establish a business relationship with this large group, it would indeed take Changhe Pharmaceutical Company to another level.

Nodding slightly, Lin Shengping continued, “The next day my boss and I went to Yuantai Mansion again, this time we were received by a director of the sales department, some employees also called him manager, this person’s name was Zhou Chengxin!”

“Called what? Zhou Chengxin?!” Ji Feng was instantly filled with black lines, “If this kind of person can be called honest, then what else is dishonest?”

“No, it’s called Zhou Chengxin! New as in new old!” Lin Shengping wrote the name quickly on the coffee table before saying, “This man is svelte looking and looks like a cadre of a state-owned enterprise, besides, there are his documents, and when Yuantai’s employees see him, they call him Manager Zhou and also Director Zhou, so we have no reason to doubt his identity!”

“That’s true!” Ji Feng nodded slightly, “You go on.”

“After contacting this Zhou Chengxin, he also came up with some vetting procedures for agents, which included requirements for various aspects such as the company’s registered capital ……” Lin Shengping gave a general overview of these professionalities. “For the most low-level agent, our company is slightly worse in sales channels, but the difference is not much, which started the PR!”

“Then after playing for two days, he took you guys to the original stone trade fair?” Ji Feng asked.

“Yes!” Lin Shengping nodded.

“This Zhou Chengxin’s identity, is he really the manager of Yuantai’s sales department? Can you be sure?” Ji Feng went straight to the point and asked.

 

Chapter 562

Hearing Ji Feng’s question, Lin Shengping was stunned, “This …… either his documents or formalities, as well as his office is also inside the Yuantai building, so we never suspected his identity!”

Ji Feng laughed: “I also just ask so, maybe that Zhou Chengxin is really the sales manager of Yuantai, let’s not talk about that first, what’s the matter with those gross stones?”

“It’s still just some broken stones, we looked at them at the original stone fair and many insiders said that those are all scrap stones that have been deconstructed and have no value for gambling at all.” Lin Shengping said helplessly. That was nearly fifty million dollars that had gone down the drain, leaving just a dozen broken stones!

“So, after what happened, did you guys ever look for that Zhou Chengxin? Find him for a statement?” Ji Feng asked.

“We searched, but Yuantai’s staff said that Zhou Chengxin had gone away on a business trip and didn’t know when he would return.” Lin Shengping said indignantly, this was simply a rogue act. But that was precisely why Lin Shengping and Xiao Changhe had no doubts about the identity of that Zhou Chengxin.

Imagine, even a large group like Yuantai had come out to cover up for Zhou Chengxin, there was no doubt that this Zhou Chengxin was indeed the manager of Yuantai.

“Uncle Xiao, when you were bidding on the gambling stones, apart from using your ID card, you should have been asked to sign it, right? Did you not read what was written on that subscription guarantee and just sign it in such a muddled manner?” Ji Feng asked with a frown.

He had participated in the original stone trade fair once, and although he had only participated in the retail trade at that time, he had made an extremely detailed understanding of some of the processes of the auction. Before the auction, if you wanted to bid and obtain a bid tag, you had to qualify for the auction before you could get a seat number and a bid tag, in the middle of which you needed to sign a subscription agreement and go through some other formalities.

All these formalities require Xiao Changhe’s signature. If Xiao Changhe did not sign, even if someone else got his ID card, there was no way to get the bid plate.

“This ……” Xiao Changhe couldn’t help but shake his head slightly and let out a long sigh, “I don’t know what’s going on, what I signed in the first place was only the letter of intent to cooperate with Yuantai Group, I didn’t sign any subscription agreement at all! ”

“Mr. Ji, actually this matter really can’t be blamed on the boss, when the boss called someone to ask for help yesterday, someone else said something and we only knew what this subscription letter was about!” Lin Shengping said, “A friend of the boss said that many scammers in the jianghu nowadays, want to cheat you out of your signature, especially in cases like the boss’s, the other party will adopt a very common method, just like the letter of intent to cooperate that was signed before!”

“How exactly does it work?!” Ji Feng frowned and asked.

“They will prepare two agreements in advance, using a special glue, the letter of intent to cooperate pasted on top of the subscription letter, in fact, the boss signed, is signed on the subscription letter, but the text on it is the letter of intent to cooperate, it looks flawless …… “Lin Shengping Shaking his head and laughing bitterly, he said, “We only found out yesterday when we heard from the boss’s friend, but anyone who plays with antique calligraphy and paintings will know that there is a technique for faking calligraphy and paintings, just like this!”

“Tsk!”

Ji Feng couldn’t help but let out a sigh of admiration, “To actually use even the technique of faking antique calligraphy and paintings, this is really elaborate and painstaking ……”

“Yes, this really confuses us all, the sales manager of Yuantai, how can he do this!” Lin Shengping said indignantly.

“Did you call the police?” Ji Feng asked again.

In fact, Ji Feng also knew that it was useless to call the police for this kind of thing, after all, Xiao Changhe did not have any evidence to prove that he had been cheated, and there was even a possibility that people might mistakenly think that he did not want to buy it after bidding, and maybe it would be Xiao Changhe who would be investigated by the case.

As expected, Lin Shengping shook his head and said, “The ID card is the boss’s, the subscription agreement is also the boss’s signature, the police people will certainly not accept it, so there is no police ……”

Ji Feng rubbed his chin, nodded and said, “Now it looks like the tens of millions must be given ……”

“There are still two days left, if the payment is not made by then, the organizer of the trade fair will go through legal channels to settle the matter, and by then the boss may have to be ……” Lin Shengping glanced apologetically at Xiao Changhe who was sitting next to him, if it wasn’t for his adventurousness, the boss wouldn’t have been in such big trouble this time.

Ji Feng shook his head and said: “Don’t rush first, things may not be without room for de-escalation …… Let’s do this, I’ll find someone to ask around and see if we can get the other party to return some of the money, the appetite is too big and it won’t do them any good, since their methods are so skilled, I believe it’s the same people who often do this of people, they may not necessarily do things that badly!”

“Uncle Xiao, if the other party can return part of the money, this matter will end for the time being, right?” Ji Feng asked, “First maintain the normal operation of the company, as for the rest of the matter, I will slowly solve it, what do you think?”

For Xiao Changhe, these tens of millions of dollars were his entire fortune, and he might not be able to pay for it with all his money, and he might even owe a debt.

Besides, it is certainly impossible not to pay after the shooting, after all, there are laws there, even if it is a subterfuge, you still have to abide by the law, at least for Ji Feng, he can’t take the initiative to send the handle to other people’s hands.

Xiao Changhe nodded and sighed: “If the other side can refund the money, that’s naturally good, but I’m afraid that the other side will simply ignore us, we went to Yuantai several times, the other side didn’t even put us in their eyes, they just sent some receptionists to send us off ……”

Xiao Changhe was helpless, the encounter in Jiangzhe made him truly understand that his tens of millions of dollars, in the eyes of the other side, is actually just a small harvest of a scam.

Ji Feng nodded and smiled, “Let’s try it first, if it doesn’t work, we’ll think of another way!”

After a moment of careful deliberation, he took out his mobile phone and called his second brother, Ji Shaolei.

“Third son, what’s the matter?” When he answered the phone, Ji Shaolei asked with a smile, “I haven’t seen you over lately, your second aunt has been talking about you a lot!”

Ji Feng laughed, “I’ve been so busy lately that I couldn’t get away, and now I just got free and something happened again.”

“What’s going on?!” Ji Shaolei was stunned.

“Second brother, it’s something on this side of Jiangsu and Zhejiang ……” Ji Feng immediately said Xiao Changhe’s experience quickly, “Second brother, do you have any acquaintances on this side of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, help negotiate, they can leave some of the money, two million. Two million, let’s say, it’s considered making a friend, the rest, let them all return it!”

“The …… side of Jiangsu and Zhejiang?” The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do. You also know that some of our family’s connections are not in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and that area has almost become the He family’s backyard, so it’s hard for us to intervene.”

“The He family?!”

Ji Feng frowned slightly and said, “He Hongwei?!”

“That’s right, He Hongwei is still very powerful over in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the weight of what he says is definitely not something I can compare to, just like when I speak in Jiangzhou, it’s far from something He Hongwei can do ……,” Ji Shaolei said.

Ji Feng nodded, then shook his head and smiled: “After all is said and done, it actually comes down to He Hongwei!”

Ji Shaolei said, “San’er, this fifty million is a lot, but if you find He Hongwei because of this matter, it’s the same as owing him a favor, so you should think it over.”

“I know, then okay, I’ll think about it again!” Ji Feng said.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Feng couldn’t help but deliberate, if he approached He Hongwei, perhaps the matter would be resolved quickly, but there was no doubt, as Second Brother had said, the matter was small, but it was a favor.

He Hongwei’s favor is not that easy to owe!

What’s more, it was still at the juncture of Ji Feng’s cooperation with He Hongwei, and there would definitely be other cooperation in the future, and by then, even if He Hongwei didn’t mention it, Ji Feng would have to make a certain degree of concessions, which wouldn’t be good for the two sides’ cooperation!

“Little Feng, isn’t it very bad?!” Xiao Changhe saw Ji Feng frowning and pondering, thinking that things were difficult, so he couldn’t help but ask in a voice: “If things are difficult, don’t make it difficult, let’s pay the money first, then I’ll go back to Jiangzhou to raise the loan, hopefully we can get through this!”

Ji Feng shook his head slightly and smiled, “It’s not difficult, it’s just that I haven’t figured out which approach to take yet, Uncle Xiao, you don’t have to worry about it, I will definitely solve this matter for you, I will definitely not let those people get away with it after cheating us!”

At the end, Ji Feng’s voice suddenly turned cold, even if he cheated people, his appetite was still so big, cheating 50 million at once!

Even after deducting the taxes and other expenses, the other party would still have more than 40 million in their hands, which for many people would already be considered an astronomical amount!

Xiao Changhe, for example, had worked hard for a decade or two, but his fortune was only twenty to thirty million, and this included some of the medicines in stock.

This is intolerable!

Ji Feng coldly snorted and said, “Uncle Xiao, don’t pay the money first, wait until the deadline to pay, tomorrow, I’ll go visit Zhou Chengxin of Yuantai, I’d like to see, what is this sacred ……”
