Chapter 150: Affair Xu Heye and Dong Xinghua both felt...
Xu Heye and Dong Xinghua both felt nervous. Fortunately, they asked more questions at that time, otherwise they would be in real trouble now.
Dong Fuyun continued, "Speaking of which, Boss He and Sister Li are capable people. After the reforms of 1977-1988, they both quit their stable jobs at state-owned enterprises and opened their own clothing store, specializing in manufacturing knockoffs of Hong Kong-made goods. Their craftsmanship was excellent, and their fees were reasonable. Their business flourished, and they eventually built this factory." Dong Fuyun then changed the subject, "But do you know how long it took him to lose it all?"
Xu Heye and Dong Xinghua shook their heads repeatedly.
Dong Fuyun said: "Just half a year."
"In just six months, we've lost everything we've accumulated over the past decade. Our savings, our house, and the factory you visited a few days ago—everything is gone."
"How could this happen?" Logically speaking, Boss He and his wife were able to build such a large business, so they should be very smart and capable people. How could they fall into the quagmire of gambling?
Dong Fuyun said: "In the final analysis, it's all about money."
"Boss He is a man who cares a lot about his reputation. Once he makes money, he wants to publicize it and let the whole world know that he has made money. When he goes out to eat, he also acts generous and has no problem paying the bill. He also..." Dong Fuyun said here and glanced at Xu Heye.
"What's wrong?" Xu Heye gave her uncle a strange look. "Is there anything I can't listen to?"
Dong Fuyun thought about it and realized that although He Ye was a girl, there was no guarantee that there would be no men who would use their beauty to seduce her just because she was rich. She should listen to these tricks more often so that she would be able to distinguish when she encountered similar ones in the future.
"He also frequented those erotic places and kept a mistress." Dong Fuyun paused and continued, "The mistress saw that he was generous and knew that his family also had a factory, so she wanted to squeeze out the original wife and take over."
"But Boss He is a very contradictory person. You could say he has no conscience, but he still has feelings for his first wife.
The couple built such a great foundation together, and his wife gave birth to three children. Although he had extramarital affairs, he never thought of squeezing out his original wife. He may have a conscience, but he is still having an affair.
"The mistress saw that he had no intention of divorcing her and marrying her, so she changed her mind and planned to make money from him.
But Boss He wasn't a sucker. He was willing to spend on food, drinks, and small gifts, but anything more would have been a problem for him. It just so happened that this mistress had a cousin who worked as a thug at a loan shark company, and the two of them hatched a vicious plan against Boss He.
"Is this venomous scheme to lure him into gambling?"
"Yes." Dong Fuyun nodded. "At the beginning, Boss He was very restrained and didn't play big. But he kept winning. What's the point of winning only a few cents every time?
I gradually got bigger and bigger, and I kept winning, only losing once or twice, but every time I lost, I could win back the money. I could win thousands or even tens of thousands playing cards in a day, which was much more than making money from making clothes.
How much can you earn by making one piece of clothing? Twenty, thirty?
Gradually, he became addicted. That was when the loan sharks closed in. He started losing money, and when he lost a lot, he wanted to make it back. Of course, if he kept losing money at this point, he might not go anymore.
But the dealer is so smart. They will still let him win. A win will give him back half of his money. Seeing hope, he naturally wants to win back all his previous losses. Then he will continue to gamble and continue to lose.
He lost more than he won, and when he ran out of money, loan sharks would lend him money. He lost more and more, and borrowed more and more. He became addicted to gambling, and gradually lost all his family property.
Xu Heye remained silent, believing that pornography, gambling and drugs were inseparable.
This is also why the elderly always advise their descendants not to cross the bottom line easily.
If you stand by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
Boss He felt that he was rich and could enjoy himself. He felt that he was spending money to buy sex and let his mistress serve him.
But everyone has selfish desires. Boss He aroused the mistress's greed, but he was unable to satisfy her. Naturally, she would try to get it back from Boss He. So the backlash came.
Xu Heye thought of the seemingly generous Sister Li again: "Does his wife know that he has a mistress?"
Dong Fuyun shook his head: "I don't know about that."
He shrugged. "Maybe, maybe not. Who knows?"
Seeing that Xu Heye and Dong Xinghua felt sympathetic, Dong Fuyun said again: "Heye, second sister, you don't have to sympathize with Boss He's wife. She is not a good person either." Otherwise, he would not have released the news of selling the factory in an attempt to shift the losses to the innocent buyer of the factory when he knew that the factory was mortgaged by Boss He to a loan shark.
Xu Heye nodded: "Of course I understand that she is not a good person."
"It's Boss He who's the most hateful. If he hadn't flaunted his wealth and hadn't had an affair, things wouldn't have gotten to this point." Xu Heye said, looking at the three men present with a serious expression. "Uncle, Uncle Lu, Uncle Huang, there's nothing wrong with you dating and getting married normally, but don't be like Boss He, who got carried away with a little money and thought about going out and having affairs."
"If you do this, don't blame me for kicking you all out of the factory."
The three of them felt a chill on the back of their necks and assured each other repeatedly: "Of course not. We will definitely not do that." They have to work and go to night school. They are so busy every day that they don't even have time to sleep. Who has time to go out and do something dirty?
"That's good. I just wanted to remind you." Xu Heye's expression eased, but he secretly decided in his heart that he had to find a way to empty the money of the three people.
These three people were originally gangsters, hanging out with a bunch of random people all day long, and they still haven't severed their ties with that group. Of course, they can't.
Xu Heye and his team have been running the factory for such a long time without anyone causing trouble, which is also related to the past experiences of Dong Fuyun and his team.
It’s just that everyone was poor in the past, and the poverty was very even, so no one laughed at anyone else.
Now that my uncle and his family are rich, who knows if there are any bad people among them who, knowing that he has made money, will tempt him to do something illegal.
Dong Fuyun brought the topic back to the factory: "This factory won't be cleared up in the short term, let's look at other things first."
Now it depends on how this matter is resolved.
If Boss He could raise the money to redeem the factory, they could still buy it. If he couldn't, and the factory fell into the hands of a loan shark, they might consider buying it. However, in this situation, it wasn't appropriate for outsiders to get involved.
Xu Heye nodded: "Then let's not consider this factory for now, let's look for other factories." She looked at Dong Xinghua: "Aunt, thank you for your concern about this matter."
"Don't worry." She was also a shareholder in the factory, and she had received a considerable amount of dividends from these two distributions alone. If not for her niece, then for herself, she also hoped that the factory would continue to do better and bigger. After all, only when the factory did well could she earn more money.
