Chapter 192
Two days later, Su Miao still called the police to report someone suspected of fraud. After all, if such criminals roamed around in society for too long, other innocent people would be deceived.
However, whether he has found out about Wang Dachui in these two days depends on his personal ability.
Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng informed the police of all the information they had, but the other party was well prepared and spoke very carefully, rarely revealing any information about themselves.
All they know at the moment is that the man's surname is Wei, he's in his twenties, from Ning County, he attended university in Beijing, and he claims to work for a charity organization. He was invited to Yongcheng to attend a business meeting. The charity organization has a co-funding committee and is trying to attract investors.
The authenticity of this information is questionable, and it is possible that this person made it up in order to commit fraud. This requires the public security organs to work hard to investigate.
After enduring half a month of military training, they finally returned to normal teaching life, and Su Miao and Ye Jiayin finally no longer had to live on campus.
After half a month of living in the same dormitory, some students have formed their own small groups, but this does not include Su Miao and Ye Jiayin. They maintain a consistent attitude towards all classmates, polite yet distant. Over time, all the undercurrents in the class automatically exclude the two of them.
Ye Jiayin also began to study courses ahead of time under Su Miao's guidance. Before, she only knew that Su Miao had a very good self-study ability and could skip grades and become the top scorer in the high school entrance examination by self-study.
But she didn't expect that she was such a good teacher. She could always use different methods to explain many obscure knowledge points. She finally understood why Wang Xin, who had originally had mediocre grades, could rank among the top under her guidance.
Half a month passed quickly and the National Day holiday came again. Dad Ye had spent more than half a month's long vacation in Nanning and had to return to work after the National Day. So the three of them decided to go out for a trip during the National Day.
Su Ji is closed during the National Day holiday and everyone is on holiday.
Su Yu and Su Hui were going back to Sujia Village, Su Yuanzheng and Su Miao were also going back to stay for one night, and then returning to Ning County to stay for another two days.
When he returned to the village this time, Su Miao felt that the atmosphere in the village was obviously wrong. There was a hint of restlessness, and many people were always gathered together excitedly discussing something.
Su Miao asked his second uncle curiously, "Second uncle, everyone seems very happy. Is there something good going on? Is it about growing watermelons?"
But the second uncle put away his smile, sighed unhappily, and said, "It would be better if they just planted watermelons honestly. They are obsessed with money and think that the God of Wealth has arrived and they are ready to become the masters of the world."
Su Miao and the others were confused. Where did the God of Wealth come from?
Second Aunt patted him and scolded him softly, "How can they understand you when you say that?"
Then he said to the others, "Your second uncle is also very angry. A few days ago, a young man in the village brought back a scientist from the black market. He invented a technology that can turn water into oil. He has just successfully developed it and is looking for a developer.
The young man said that the villagers should pool their money for production, and then they would receive dividends per head! They really couldn't wait to pay, but your second uncle stopped them and asked them to think it over, so they said that your second uncle wanted to take all the dividends for himself!
Second Uncle also cursed, "What a bunch of brainless idiots! The black market is to the south and north of us, and that's where the heavy industry is most developed. If they really had this technology, wouldn't the government invest in it? Would the big bosses invest in it? Would they come to our little village to raise funds?"
Su Miao said with a puzzled look: "No! Such a simple and easy-to-understand principle, the villagers didn't understand it? Are the other uncles also thinking of voting?"
"Your uncles also had the idea, but I persuaded them not to. However, your uncles think they are smart and say that we are old-fashioned and can't keep up with the times. Not only do we have to invest, we have to invest our entire fortune!"
Su Yu also found this a little unbelievable: "Dad, who brought these people back to raise funds? The village committee doesn't care?"
"He's the son of the village director! He went out to study in high school and came back so proud of himself, saying he knows everything about astronomy and geography! What's so great about studying in high school? My Miaomiao not only studied in high school, but also won the top spot in the high school entrance exam!"
Su Miao sorted out the matter and found out that it was the educated son of the village director who brought back a so-called "scientist" who said he had some unknown technology and asked the villagers to raise funds and promised that everyone in the village would get dividends.
"The villagers just believed it? Uncle, don't the scientists have any evidence or certificates for everyone to see?"
Second Uncle slapped his thigh and said, "The bad thing is that guy really has it! Not only does he have the certificate, but there's also a report in the newspaper. He even did the experiment on the spot. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people desperately chasing him and giving him money!"
Several people asked curiously: "What on earth is that?"
"He invented a conversion fluid. He put a little gasoline in water, then added a little conversion fluid, stirred it, and it turned into gasoline. He then set it on fire! And hey! It actually caught fire. He said this conversion base oil was better than regular gasoline, and once it went into production, the whole world would buy it."
Huh? Wait! How come this scam is both outrageous and familiar? It seems like Su Miao had actually seen a report about this in a previous life. A bus driver used this scam to scam people in the north for over a decade.
Not only did he deceive professionals, he also deceived more than 300 township enterprises into investing hundreds of millions of yuan in him, asking him to engage in joint development and treating him as a shining golden god of wealth.
How did this get to the South?
Su Miao said, "Uncle, that wasn't water turning into oil at all. It was just a chemical process that caused water to catch fire. He must have added calcium carbide, lithium aluminum tetrahydride, and some gasoline to the water. It's not obvious to the naked eye, but it produced a large amount of flammable liquid and gas. It will definitely catch fire if it comes into contact with an open flame."
Second Uncle stood up excitedly and said, "You have to be well-read to see the trick. Miaomiao, let's go! Let's expose this scam!"
He paused as soon as he finished speaking, thought for a moment and said, "No, they're all obsessed now, it's not that easy to convince them. You'd better not get involved in this mess. Write down the carbon and let Second Uncle carry it on his back, and I'll go talk to them!"
But before Su Miao could even put pen to paper, his seventh uncle's grandson ran in and said anxiously, "Second uncle! Tenth uncle! They've surrounded my grandfather. Go check it out!"
Second Uncle immediately ran to Seventh Uncle's house, cursing, "These bastards! They're possessed by evil spirits! They're going to cause chaos!"
The others followed behind. It turned out that money can really deceive the mind.
