Chapter 924 An actor who doesn’t want to be a liar is not a good lawyer
We smiled at each other, and the other side started to take the bait.
Sure enough, Xu Shimo laughed a little exaggeratedly: "Lao Lin, I called you today because I have good news to tell you."
He Xuming pushed up his glasses, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips. "Oh? I still haven't gotten my money back. I hope this is the good news you're talking about."
The voice on the other end paused, then he laughed dryly and said, "Look at what you said. It's not that we can't get the money back. It's just that the project has temporarily encountered some difficulties.
But I have a better project on hand, this time with higher returns and a shorter payback period. You see, when something good like this comes up, I think of you first."
He Xuming replied dimly, "Oh, that's good, but you know, all my money is invested in it, even the bank loan money is in it."
The voice on the other end paused, then continued, "Isn't your niece quite rich? You can borrow some from her first. You're her uncle, how can she not lend you money?"
Xu Shimo couldn't just say that he knew I gave my uncle 500,000 yuan. If he let it slip, it would be obvious that it was my aunt who told him.
He was still a little cautious, but not much. I thought he would call me at least two days later, but I didn't expect him to be so impatient.
The other party's words hit He Xuming's heart. He narrowed his eyes and said, "How can I do that? She knows I'm in trouble now and just gave me 500,000 yuan for emergency. How can I have the nerve to ask her for a loan?"
The other party immediately interjected without hesitation, "Then introduce her to me and I'll tell her about this new project. Your niece is so kind to you. Why don't you take her along with you when there's a chance to make a fortune?"
"She currently has about 20 million yuan in her current account, and 30% of it is equivalent to the amount of her beauty card for a year.
Her husband is worth tens of billions, and she wouldn't be interested in your small projects."
Xu Shimo was a little anxious. "You wouldn't think money is too much if you have it. Besides, the return rate of this new project is 40%, which is unprecedented. In addition, I will give you a 10% referral fee."
He Xuming pretended to be moved and hesitated: "However, I have already told her that I have not received a single cent of the money I invested in you. She is not stupid, so how could she invest again?
Forget it, I can’t earn this kind of money, I’m dead."
"Hey, hey~ Don't hang up, 15%! How about 15% referral fee?" The other party started to raise the price.
He Xuming sighed, "It's not a question of how much money I have, but the money I invested hasn't come back. How can I convince her that she can make money by investing with me?"
There was silence on the other end of the line. He Xuming didn't push. Ten seconds later, the voice rang out again, "How do you know she has over 20 million in current accounts? Is she just bragging?"
An actor who doesn't want to be a liar is not a good lawyer.
He Xuming's acting was on point, and he looked like he was eager to defend himself, "What you said, she didn't tell me how much money she had. I accidentally saw the balance on her phone when she transferred money to me.
I looked carefully at the time, and there were exactly eight digits, two commas in the middle, and a decimal point at the end. I couldn’t have made a mistake.”
This statement is very convincing and sounds very credible.
Sure enough, the other party must have believed it. Xu Shimo suddenly said in a familiar tone: "Brother, actually, I called you today and I have another good news.
Although the repayment period for the money I invested previously is a bit longer and slower, the return on investment remains the same. I just received a notice that I can withdraw part of the cash!
He Xuming immediately put on a surprised tone and continued to act cooperatively: "Really, how much can I get back?"
"30%!" Xu Shimo said confidently, "Maybe it will be credited to your account soon."
"30%?" He Xuming's voice turned cold again. "Isn't this the rate of return we were promised? According to what you said, I still haven't got my principal back. Let's wait and see. I'm hanging up now."
"No, no, no!" Xu Shimo said anxiously, "How about this, if you can introduce your niece to invest here, in addition to the normal returns, I will also give you an additional 10% commission!
If it's 20 million, then that's 2 million, which is equivalent to your entire capital." Xu Shimo continued to tempt him.
We smiled at each other, and the fish started to bite.
He Xuming was silent for a moment. "No, my niece is very good to me. I can't let her do such a high-risk thing. If she does something like what happened to me this time, it would harm her."
"15%!" Xu Shimo immediately increased the offer, "No! 20%! It really can't be any more."
He Xuming suddenly sneered, "Last time I invested, you took a lot of commissions, didn't you? Judging from your generosity, it must be more than 20%!"
"You, you didn't tell me that~~" The other party felt a little guilty, and then said confidently, "Besides, I've transferred the commission back to your wife. You two don't need to be so clear about it."
My uncle was stunned when he heard this. He moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but I quietly made a 'hush' gesture to him.
Only then did his uncle manage to calm down. He Xuming glanced at his uncle and deliberately asked, "Really? How much did you give her? I'll have to ask her later."
"Three hundred thousand or three hundred thousand. If you don't believe me, go ask yourself." Xu Shimo said the last sentence with confidence.
“Okay, I’ll ask about this. How about this, when I receive the money, I’ll let my niece invest.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to let her invest money, so I'll just hang up."
"Wait, then I'll let them transfer the money to your wife's card..." It seems that my aunt is not confident in transferring the money to my uncle.
At this time, my uncle's face looked very ugly.
He Xuming continued, "That's fine. When my wife comes to City A, I'll show my niece that she really has received the money in her account. Then I'll talk to her about investing. She'll be here in a few days anyway."
There was silence on the other end again. "Hey, sorry, I forgot which account the money came from, and which account it should be returned to. I still have to transfer the money back to you.
Remember to tell your niece when the money arrives."
"Okay, I'll remember this." He Xuming hung up the phone with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Lin, the other party must think you're easy to fool, so these words are full of loopholes. I suspect your wife is right next to you."
My uncle slumped down on the stool, somewhat dejectedly. "Do you really think she's colluding with outsiders to trick me? Why?"
I think my uncle looks so pitiful. Maybe it’s time to tell him the truth.
