Cai Guangfa's words completely baffled Wang Baiwan.
Let him find a lawyer to give him the illusion that he should turn himself in.
Back in 2002, contracts were really something that could be signed casually in the country.
Often, aside from some businesses, people's investments may only involve an IOU, without even a proper contract, let alone a lawyer.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Cai Guangfa patted him on the shoulder with a hint of helplessness.
"Millions? In our big business, integrity is paramount. We signed a formal contract; would you understand it without a lawyer present?"
"Well... Mr. Cai, should I make a phone call?"
Wang Baiwan used to be a scoundrel. If he hadn't followed Jia Lindao, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Although he now has a net worth of several million, his true nature is to be ignorant and incompetent.
Jia Lindao did give some instructions before he left, but he didn't mention that a lawyer would be needed to sign the contract.
He apologized and then quickly called Jia Lindao.
"Boss, Mr. Cai said I should bring a lawyer when we sign the contract..."
"A lawyer? Why bring a lawyer?"
"They probably thought I wouldn't understand the contract."
"Oh, Mr. Cai, you're so kind and thoughtful. Just do as I say. Oh, and make sure you get the interest first; we can't afford to lose out on that."
"Don't worry, boss, I know what to do."
After ending the call, Jia Lin felt a surge of satisfaction.
He thought to himself, "This Cai Guangfa is truly a man of integrity."
It's like God is constantly feeding him, afraid he won't get rich.
Jia Lindao decided that he would definitely thank Cai Guangfa properly after the matter was accomplished.
With his instructions, Wang Baiwan didn't hesitate and simply asked Cai Guangfa to find him a lawyer.
The contract, spanning dozens of pages and written in both English and Chinese, with characters in tiny print, instantly gave Wang Baiwan a headache.
After reading just one page, he felt like his brain was turning to mush.
At that moment, he was very glad that he had found a lawyer.
He watched the lawyer diligently reviewing each point while smoking his cigar, feeling like he had hit the jackpot.
What he didn't know was that the lawyer had been bribed by Cai Guangfa.
Of course, the contract is a legitimate one, but some of the clauses are rather unfair.
Apart from some of the terms they agreed on, the most crucial clauses were hidden in the contract.
These clauses are all designed to avoid liability risks.
If Cai Guangfa is unable to repay the money within a month, he will not bear any responsibility whatsoever.
Of course, Cai Guangfa also gave a very domineering clause that Wang Baiwan never expected.
If Jin Datong runs into problems due to poor management and is unable to repay its debts, then Wang Baiwan will become the new boss.
In other words, when Cai Guangfa was unable to repay his debts, he very honestly gave Jin Datong Company to Wang Baiwan.
Upon hearing the lawyer's words, Wang Baiwan's cigar slipped from his mouth and fell to the ground.
His mind wasn't preoccupied with what to do if he lost the money, but rather with how much Jin Datong was worth.
These are also hidden within the terms and conditions.
This is also where Cai Guangfa and Su Wu's treachery lies.
Jindatong is a small company with very few assets; it wouldn't even be worth tens of millions.
For this purpose, Su Wu also invested 50 million yuan in Cai Guangfa.
They then used financial leverage to buy options worth 15 times their value.
The contract calculated these as premium assets, amounting to 750 million Dragon Coins.
In short, under various premium clauses, a double contract riddled with pitfalls ended up in Wang Baiwan's hands.
And these are things that lawyers wouldn't notice unless they looked closely and did an asset investigation.
Moreover, the lawyers were all Cai Guangfa's men, so it was impossible for Wang Baiwan to know the truth.
All of this was at Su Wu's behest.
Although it was a scam, they were acting as if it were real.
Once this dual contract is signed, everything becomes real and will be protected by relevant laws.
Of course, this is not about protecting Jia Lindao, but about protecting Cai Guangfa.
Furthermore, the contract was not signed by an individual, but by two companies.
In other words, the contract was signed by two companies: Xingwang Real Estate and Jindatong Financial Investment.
In other words, after the incident, Zhao Sihai and others will become legitimate shareholders of Jindatong.
They will own a financial investment company in Hong Kong.
After waiting for two full hours, the lawyer finished reviewing the contract terms and said there were no problems.
Wang Baiwan grinned sheepishly. "President Cai, what about the interest rate?"
"Oh, of course we'll deduct it directly as agreed. We'll keep 120 million and you can just transfer 680 million to me."
Cai Guangfa waved his hand and gave a very generous reply.
Seeing how readily he agreed, Wang Baiwan excitedly shook his hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Cai."
"Not at all, we're just following the contract."
"No, I must thank you for making us rich, thank you!"
Wang Baiwan was so excited that he was almost incoherent, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.
He never imagined that a single contract would turn him and Jia Lindao into billionaires.
If they recoup their investment within a month, then all the money will be free.
What if other problems arise?
As a con artist, who would think so much? We'll just have to wait and see.
The moment the transaction was completed, Wang Baiwan shared the good news with Jia Lindao.
Looking at the money in his bank account, Jia Lindao almost burst into manic laughter right there in the bank.
