Chapter 49 Gold Mine Scam

After Wen Jiaqi left, Wen Rongsheng frowned and thought for a long time.

He was not worried about Wen Jiaqi. No matter how stupid she was, she was a girl who grew up with money. It was impossible for her to be deceived by a group of men and be willing to elope with others.

Her life safety was not a problem. Even if she was deceived, she would only suffer some emotional trauma and lose some money.

If being deceived could make her smarter, Wen Rongsheng thought it was okay.

He felt that Wen Jiaqi would not say those words for no reason. Since she said them, Liang Yicong must have promised her when she was seeing people off after dinner.

Then the question came, if Liang Yicong's background was true, why was he so eager to promise to tie Wen Jiaqi up? Because of love?

Wen Rongsheng didn't believe it.

But if Liang Yicong's background was fake, then his deception skills were too superb, and his performance at the dinner table was simply flawless.

Wen Rongsheng thought about it, raised his head and asked the other two people in the study: "Do you think what Liang Yicong said is true? Is his gold mine project reliable?"

Yi Huai said: "I'm not sure whether what he said is true or not, but if I have such a project, as long as the funds can support it, I will definitely not absorb funds from outside."

Let alone mining gold, even if the project they are currently doing has reached the profit stage, who would absorb funds in a big way? Investors will not do good deeds and give you money for free. They spend money to get dividends.

Even if you don't have enough funds, it's better to go to a bank than to find an investor. As long as the project is good, the bank will not block the loan. For a good project, paying the loan interest is more cost-effective than paying dividends.

Moreover, if the funds are not sufficient, why can people who invested in Liang Yicong invest last month and get dividends next month?

This must be a cat's peeve!

Wen Rongsheng also found it strange. After a moment's silence, he asked, "Do you think there are really gold mines in Africa?"

"There may be gold mines, but Europe is closer to Africa, and many places are or were their colonies. If there are gold mines, do you think those Europeans will let them go? Even if there are fish that slip through the net, how can you guarantee that the local government will not be jealous after we spend a lot of money to explore the location?"

Obviously, Yi Huai was not very interested in going to Africa to mine. "Hong Kong is too far away from Africa. Instead of thinking about going to Africa to mine gold, you might as well invest your money in the mainland. At least there are coal mines in Jin Province."

Hearing this, Wen Yue interrupted and said, "It's not bad to invest in coal mines in Jin Province."

Who was the richest around 2,000 years ago? Of course, it was the coal boss!

It is 1994, and this industry is booming. It is much more reliable to go to Jin Province to mine coal than to go to Africa to mine.

Although the former is often associated with fat people in novels, people really make money. As for those who make money by mining gold in Africa, they are either the male protagonists of novels or the bosses of pyramid schemes. Anyway, Wen Yue has never seen any real examples in all her years of surfing.

Regarding the matter of investing in gold mines, Wen Yue only made such a suggestion and did not intend to tell Wen Rongsheng the truth immediately.

Liang Yicong has absorbed more than 30 million funds in less than two months since he came to Hong Kong. This is not a small case. If it is exposed, the melon value that can be obtained will definitely be a lot.

Now tell Wen Rongsheng, he will tell Wen Jiaqi, after Wen Jiaqi knows about it, she will go to Liang Yicong to make trouble, maybe even if the news is not released, this matter will spread quickly.

When she exposes the news, the value of eating melons that can be obtained may be greatly reduced.

Anyway, Wen Rongsheng, an old fox, can't be easily fooled by Liang Yicong, and from what he said just now, even if Liang Yicong's background is true, he doesn't plan to mix it with this project, but plans to bypass Liang Yicong and invest in Africa himself.

So she didn't worry at all that Wen Rongsheng would be fooled, reminded him to stop, and quickly pulled Yi Huai away.

Originally, in Wen Yue's mind, the matter of exposing melons should not be delayed, but the next day after finishing work, when she was ready to meet Huang Zhihao at noon and hand over the evidence to him, there was a new development in this melon.

The progress is related to what Wen Jiaqi said last night.

As soon as he got up in the morning, Liang Yicong contacted two second-generation real estate developers, saying that he planned to live in Hong Kong for a long time and was preparing to buy a house, and asked them if they had any suitable recommendations.

These two second-generation developers have invested a lot of money in Liang Yicong's projects, one invested 2 million and the other 3 million. Although both of them received dividends this month, they always felt uneasy when they thought of Liang Yicong as a foreigner who had nothing in Hong Kong except two cars.

Now that they heard that he was going to buy a house, they were greatly relieved and quickly said that if he planned to buy his own property, they could give him a discount. If he was interested in a property developed by another company, they would definitely help as long as they could.

Liang Yicong smiled and thanked them after listening to them, and put forward his own requirements for the house.

"I am going to register a company in Hong Kong, and the address is in Central, so I hope to live not too far from Central. Although my family is in Nanyang, I stayed here for Gigi. After buying the house, I will definitely live with her, so the area cannot be too small, and the main building should preferably have three floors, a swimming pool, and a garden."

Listening to Liang Yicong's requirements, the two not only did not feel troubled, but also became happier the more they listened.

The house price in Hong Kong is not cheap. In a slightly better location, a thousand-foot luxury house will cost four or five million, not to mention that Liang Yicong requires a house near Central, and also requires a villa with a garden and swimming pool.

Such a house will definitely not be available without tens of millions of dollars.

If Liang Yicong could spend tens of millions to buy a villa, would they still worry that he was a liar?

Another well-informed person heard that Liang Yicong and Wen Jiaqi were dating, and when he mentioned Gigi, he specifically asked, "Brother Cong, are you and Miss Wen getting married soon?"

Liang Yicong, who was sitting in front of the French window, adjusted his posture, held a cigarette and brought it to the ashtray, lit the ash and smiled while biting the cigarette, "Yesterday I went to Gigi's house to meet Uncle Wen, and he was very satisfied with me. I plan to propose to Gigi after the company here is established, and take her back to Nanyang to meet my parents to arrange the marriage."

Wen Jiaqi has a great reputation in the second-generation circle. After all, she is the daughter of the richest man, and she is high-profile, so many people know her.

Although the heirs of those big families don't think much of her, the second generation who mixed with Liang Yicong's business envied him for being able to hook up with Wen Jiaqi.

If he had this luck, he wouldn't have bothered to get close to Liang Yicong. If the Wen family leaked some soup, it would be enough for him to squander the rest of his life.

It's a pity that people don't think highly of him.

However, the second generation on the other end of the phone didn't feel disappointed for too long. If he couldn't become the son-in-law of the richest man, he could make money with the son-in-law of the richest man!

Originally, he planned to wait until the investment was recovered this time, and then go back to show off to his family, letting them know that he was not a useless playboy.

But now even the richest man recognizes Liang Yicong and is willing to marry his daughter to him, which shows that his identity and background must be real. Since he is really a wealthy man in Nanyang, Liang Yicong will definitely not deceive them with fake projects.

The second generation on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment and decided to go back and tell his parents about this matter in the next two days, and try to get them to support him with some money so that he can increase his investment.

The two second generations were looking forward to Liang Yicong buying a house in Hong Kong, so they were naturally proactive in doing things. Before noon, each of them called with two houses.

Liang Yicong agreed to everything, set a time to view the house, and then called Wen Jiaqi to ask her out and invite her to lunch.

After getting a positive answer, Liang Yicong did not get up and prepare to go out immediately, but asked his bodyguard for a mobile phone and called... Dongjiang Newspaper?

Yes, that's right.

Liang Yicong called Dongjiang Newspaper and deliberately pinched his throat to tell the person on the other end of the phone that the richest woman's eldest daughter Wen Jiaqi had an appointment with her boyfriend to go house-hunting today, preparing to build a love nest together, and it seemed that good things were about to happen. Then he said an address and hung up the phone in a hurry.

The big news fell from the sky, and the people at Dongjiang Newspaper who received the news were naturally overjoyed.

But after careful consideration, they found that something was not right. The boss of their company was the richest woman's second daughter, and the one who was anonymously exposed today was the richest woman's eldest daughter. Are they sisters? The

person who answered the phone was an intern. Although he vaguely knew that there was competition between the richest man's children, he was not 100% sure. He was afraid that if he went to stake out without permission, he would really take pictures of something that would offend the boss, so he hesitated and decided to ask the master who was taking care of her.

Her master had worked at Dongjiang Newspapers for two months and knew that Wen Yue and Wen Jiaqi had a bad relationship, but his years of experience as a social animal told her that it was best not to act on her own when it came to the boss's family.

So before Wen Yue contacted Huang Zhihao, she received a call from him and was shocked.

When she first learned the news, Wen Yue thought someone was setting a trap for her and hesitated whether to let someone from Dongjiang Newspapers go to stake out. After

listening to the systematic explanation of the cause and effect, Wen Yue understood that someone had indeed set a trap, but the target was not her.

That's not right. She has been very high-profile in recent months. Liang Yicong couldn't have been unaware that Dongjiang Newspapers belonged to her. There are so many newspaper companies in Hong Kong, but he didn't choose any of them. He had to find someone under her. No one would believe him if he said he had no other ideas.

But Liang Yicong's main target is obviously Wen Rongsheng. After failing to trick him into joining the partnership, he wants to use his relationship with Wen Jiaqi to tie himself to the Wen family.

It is a fact that he and Wen Jiaqi are dating. Before his identity is confirmed, although Wen Rongsheng will not admit it, he will definitely not deny it.

For the outside world, he and Wen Jiaqi going in and out to look at houses together is the rhythm of good things to come. Wen Rongsheng neither admits nor denies it, which is equivalent to tacitly admitting it.

With the halo of the future son-in-law of the richest man, how many people can he fool and how much money can he cheat!

He really has a good plan.

Wen Yue thought for a moment and said, "Just let them do their job normally, don't worry about me."

Anyway, Liang Yicong didn't put all his hopes of exposing the relationship on Dongjiang Newspaper. According to the system, he called several newspaper companies before going out to pick up Wen Jiaqi.

After ending the call with Huang Zhihao, Wen Yue changed her mind. She felt that exposing Liang Yicong could be done a few days later.

She didn't do it to watch Wen Jiaqi's good show, but the future son-in-law of the richest man was involved in a fraud incident, which would definitely attract more attention than an unknown person defrauding a rich second-generation with a lot of money. Moreover

, the amount of fraud was as high as hundreds of millions, which was not the same as the fraud of 30 million. More people would pay attention to the former.

With more people paying attention, she could get more melon value.

Of course, there are disadvantages. Even if the relationship between Wen Jiaqi and Liang Yicong is exposed, the Wen family may be involved in a public opinion storm. But the impact will not be too great. After all, Wen Jiaqi cannot represent the Wen family, and she herself is also a victim.

At most, some people will laugh at Wen Rongsheng for making a mistake. After so many years in the business world, he can't even see a fraudster.

But what does Wen Rongsheng being laughed at have to do with her Wen Yue? It is still more important to gain the value of eating melons.

So the time to expose Liang Yicong was decisively postponed.

...

"The richest daughter took her boyfriend to see the new house and built a love nest together. It seems that good things are coming! " "

Three months after the divorce, the richest daughter has good news again. Lin Yongkang was in jail and burst into tears! " "

Wen Jiaqi's new boyfriend was exposed. It is suspected that the Nanyang tycoon has a gold mine under his name! Is it a strong alliance or a trap?》

The day after Wen Jiaqi and Liang Yicong went house hunting together, the news of their relationship was exposed and made the front page of major media.

It was already afternoon when Wen Rongsheng learned about this. The cause was that the second-generation real estate developer who introduced the real estate to Liang Yicong took the newspaper home to ask his parents for support after seeing the news, preparing to increase investment.

The parents of the second-generation real estate developer were very relieved to see that their son finally grew up, but after learning about Liang Yicong's identity and gold mining project, they doubted the authenticity, so they called Wen Rongsheng to inquire about the situation.

Wen Rongsheng was puzzled at first, thinking that Liang Yicong had come to his house, but he and Wen Jiaqi had not even started anything, so why did he come to him?

After perfunctorily dealing with his old friend, Wen Rongsheng quickly asked someone to find a newspaper for him.

Seeing these front-page headlines, Wen Rongsheng almost couldn't breathe. He was so angry that he didn't even open the door and rushed home with the newspaper.

Back at 36 Barker Road, Wen Rongsheng went upstairs and knocked on Wen Jiaqi's door.

Wen Jiaqi stayed out the night before and didn't sleep well. She was making up for it in the room. Hearing the knock on the door, she hurriedly got up from the bed, put on her coat and went to open the door. Wen Jiaqi

was impatient at first, but when she opened the door and saw Wen Rongsheng, she quickly put away the unhappy expression on her face and asked, "Daddy, what are you doing!"

Wen Rongsheng asked with a sullen face, "Did you go to see a house with Liang Yicong yesterday?"

"Yeah, Daddy, how did you know?" Wen Jiaqi smiled and talked about the house-hunting yesterday without waiting for Wen Rongsheng to answer. "We looked at four villas yesterday, one of which is in Taipingshan, not much smaller than our house. Ah Cong said that as long as I am willing, he will buy the villa."

Wen Rongsheng sneered and asked, "Buy it? Does he have money?"

If Wen Rongsheng still had doubts about Liang Yicong's background before seeing these newspapers, then after seeing the newspapers and receiving a call from his old friend, he can basically conclude that Liang Yicong is a liar, and it is very likely that he is a pauper!

"Of course he has money. His family is the hidden richest man in Indonesia. There are not many people in his family who know about it. And he himself has gold mines in Africa. Don't you know all these things, Daddy?"

Wen Jiaqi suddenly remembered something and said, "Dad, you don't know that many people want to join his gold mining project in Africa. This morning alone, he received five or six calls from people who wanted to invest in him."

"Do you know why so many people wanted to invest in him today?"

"Why?"

Wen Rongsheng threw the newspaper to Wen Jiaqi: "Take a good look!"

Wen Jiaqi took the newspaper and quickly browsed the headlines. Seeing the relationship exposure, she couldn't help but cursed: "These paparazzi!" She was also puzzled, "Even if Ah Cong and I were photographed, that is our private matter. What does it have to do with others looking for him to invest?"

Wen Rongsheng couldn't help it anymore, raised his voice and cursed: "He is using you! Idiot!"

If Wen Rongsheng had said this to Wen Jiaqi two days ago, she would definitely believe it, but when they had dinner the night before yesterday, he didn't notice that there was something wrong with Liang Yicong, so he asked her not to develop further with him.

Wen Jiaqi now felt that Wen Rongsheng thought Liang Yicong was not good in this or that because he looked down on her. Naturally, she did not believe what he said and retorted loudly: "You are lying! You said that Ah Cong had problems, but you produced evidence! There is nothing, how can I believe you? Just wait and see, Ah Cong will buy me a big house and take me back to Nanyang to meet his parents!"

After saying all the good and bad words, seeing that Wen Jiaqi still did not listen, Wen Rongsheng simply stopped persuading her and pointed at her and said: "You must break up with him."

"I won't!" Wen Jiaqi said with her neck stiff.

Wen Rongsheng threatened: "Otherwise I will kick you out of the house!"

Wen Jiaqi was speechless.

Although Wen Rongsheng was partial and looked down on her, and the amount of pocket money he gave her every month was not much, Liang Yicong was willing to spend money on her and didn't feel bad about spending hundreds of thousands at a time.

But Wen Jiaqi was not really a love-brained person. She didn't think that Liang Yicong liked her simply because he liked her as a person. He would definitely consider her family background.

Just like her, wasn't she dating Liang Yicong because he was the invisible richest man in Indonesia?

Without the identity of the richest man's daughter, would Liang Yicong still love her? Would his family still agree to let him marry her? Wen Jiaqi was not sure.

So Wen Rongsheng's words hit Wen Jiaqi's weak spot.

But she was unwilling in her heart. She looked at Wen Rongsheng with red eyes and said, "I finally found a boyfriend. How can you force me like this without considering me at all? Daddy, am I really your daughter?"

"It's because you are my daughter that I care about you! If it were someone else..." Wen Rongsheng snorted coldly, and the meaning was self-evident.

Wen Jiaqi: "..."

Wen Rongsheng was too lazy to watch her fighting for a man, so he turned his eyes to Chen Baoqin who came over slower and said, "I will ask the company's publicity department to issue a statement, admitting that Jiaqi and Liang Yicong had dated, but have now broken up. The Wen family will not guarantee whether Liang Yicong's background is true or the projects under his name are reliable. You keep an eye on her these days and don't let her meet Liang Yicong, so as to avoid being photographed."

"Okay, I got it." Chen Baoqin responded quickly.

Wen Rongsheng nodded and walked away, walking past Chen Baoqin. The latter glanced at the tearful Wen Jiaqi, sighed, turned around and chased Wen Rongsheng and asked, "Is Liang Yicong's background real? Didn't he perform well when he came to dinner that night?"

"He can pretend to perform well, but he can't fool people." Wen Rongsheng said, "Think about it yourself, if your business has reached the profit-making stage, will you attract investment indiscriminately? They went to see the house yesterday, and it was in the newspaper today. Before I came back, a partner called me and asked if I was really sure about Liang Yicong. If so, he would let Qian's son invest in Liang Yicong's project. Don't you think this development is coincidental? Isn't it strange?"

"It's a bit strange." Chen Baoqin said thoughtfully, "Then Jiaqi..."

"She has been deceived and is so confused that she doesn't believe anyone." Wen Rongsheng frowned and said, "The deception will be exposed one day. As long as Liang Yicong is exposed, she will be able to get out of it. The premise is that she will not see Liang Yicong again."

Chen Baoqin said quickly, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep a good eye on Jiaqi these days and not let her run around." She also asked Wen Rongsheng if he had lunch at home.

"There is a dinner party." Wen Rongsheng said, and then strode downstairs and took a car to leave.

...

After Wen Rongsheng spoke, the people in the publicity department of Lirong Group naturally did not dare to slack off.

That night, major entertainment newspapers published the news that Wen Jiaqi and Liang Yicong broke up and the Wen family would not guarantee Liang Yicong's background and career.

If the Lirong Group simply denied the relationship between the two, outsiders might think that it was because the matter was not settled and the Wen family did not want to publicize it. But after the Wen family did this, it would be difficult for Liang Yicong to get involved again.

So after seeing the newspaper, he had a rage in the hotel.

He really did not expect the Wen family to be so ruthless.

After calming down after the rage, Liang Yicong called Wen Jiaqi and asked her what was going on in a shocked manner. If the Wen family looked down on him, they could just tell him directly, and he would never pester them after breaking up.

If Liang Yicong's first reaction after calling her was to try to keep her, Wen Jiaqi might become suspicious. She came from a wealthy family and knew very well how they treated relationships.

Most people don't take it seriously, and occasionally there are a few sentimental people, and it is impossible for them to be humiliated after being insulted like this.

So Liang Yicong's words actually dispelled the doubts that just emerged in Wen Jiaqi's heart.

She quickly said that this was not her intention, and she was forced by her father.

Liang Yicong sighed and said, "Your dad really doesn't like me, but it's okay for him to be dissatisfied with me, but why does he want to ruin my reputation? I know you are all wondering why I would accept other people

's investment when the gold mine project can make stable profits." Wen Jiaqi felt strange in her heart and asked, "Why?"

"Because I want to get to know more wealthy people in Hong Kong." Liang Yicong explained with a wry smile, "You also know that although my family is rich, many countries in Southeast Asia are always very harsh on us Chinese. My grandfather has suffered losses, so he dare not expose his wealth, which leads to not many people who know our family outside the province where my family lives."

"Then what?"

"I have always known that Hong Kong is an international metropolis, and I have wanted to come to Hong Kong for development for a long time. However, it is so difficult for me, an unknown person, to do business in Hong Kong. It just so happens that I have a gold mine under my name, so I wanted to use money to pave the way." Liang Yicong sighed, "I thought I could quickly integrate into the group, but I didn't expect everyone to think I was a liar." Wen Jiaqi

was convinced and quickly said, "I don't think you are a liar."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Wen Jiaqi said, "It's a pity that I was locked up at home and couldn't go out, otherwise I would definitely invest in your gold mine..."

"I'm so happy that you are willing to believe me!" Liang Yicong said with satisfaction, and mentioned other investors, "When they see the news, they will probably think I'm a liar and ask me to return my investment. Oh, forget it, as long as you are willing to believe me."

Wen Jiaqi felt heartbroken when she heard this. She thought that if it weren't for her father's interference, he would definitely not have to face all this, and quickly asked herself how she could help him.

Liang Yicong declined at first, but after two attempts he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm new in Hong Kong, so they don't believe me, but you were born in this city. If you are willing to call them and tell them, I believe they will believe me. Of course, if you find it difficult, forget it..."

After hearing the last sentence, Wen Jiaqi no longer hesitated, "I'm willing to help you, and I don't find it difficult!" She regretted the words as soon as they came out of her mouth, and asked, "Acong, what you said is true, right? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"Of course." Liang Yicong smiled, "I love you so much, how could I lie to you."

...

Wen Yue was having lunch when she learned that Wen Jiaqi had called Liang Yicong's investors one by one according to the phone numbers given by Liang Yicong to verbally guarantee him.

In the novel, the president seems to have nothing to do every day except falling in love. He doesn't have to worry about bankruptcy if he doesn't go to the company, and his performance can even be booming.

But the president in reality, such as Wen Yue now, is very busy every day.

She understands why Yi Huai has to stay in the study for two or three hours after dinner even though he has returned home from work.

In the past, Wen Yue thought this was proof of Yi Huai's workaholic nature, but now she thinks it may be because there is too much work and he really can't finish it without overtime.

Having said that, in order to improve work efficiency, Wen Yue has to constrain the system so that she will not be disturbed during work unless it is particularly urgent.

So Wen Yue didn't have time to eat melons until lunch.

After eating the melons, Wen Yue was speechless and felt that it was time to close the net.

The richest man has a huge influence. When they were having dinner a few days ago, the funds Liang Yicong defrauded were only 35 million. The news that he and Wen Jiaqi were about to get married was reported in the newspapers. In just one day, the funds he harvested exceeded 90 million.

Originally, some people wanted to return the money after the Wen family issued a statement, but with the guarantee of Wen Jiaqi, the idiot, those people not only did not get the money, but also several rich second-generations with similarly bad brains made additional investments.

When Wen Yue was eating melons, the funds Liang Yicong harvested just exceeded 100 million.

In addition, in order to gain Wen Jiaqi's trust, Liang Yicong has always been very careful to package his image as a rich second-generation in front of her. Now that he broke the packaging and asked her to come forward to guarantee, it is obvious that he wants to make a big profit and run away quickly.

If the net is not closed now, the person may run away.

Wen Yue thought about it and decisively asked the system to sort out two pieces of evidence, one to be sent to the police station and one to herself, and then she called Huang Zhihao to get the evidence.

So that night, Liang Yicong, who was preparing to run away, was arrested in the hotel.

The next morning, "Dongjiang Entertainment News" carried a front-page news with the title "Surprise! A 'Chen Qiaobai'-style rich man reappears in Hong Kong, defrauding hundreds of millions and planning to run away!", becoming the C position of major newspaper stalls.

"Dongjiang Entertainment Daily" was a little behind, but the title was equally eye-catching - Surprise! The mysterious gold mine was a scam? ! ! The second-generation rich people who are stupid and rich: If even this is fake, what else is real? ! !
