When Chen Ze saw Guo Weidong kneel down and kowtow, he said irritably, "Get up. Why are you doing such a grand ceremony? It makes me feel like an ancient emperor."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Guo Weidong said unexpectedly.
Chen Ze rolled his eyes and said, "You actually put on an act after I said that."
His actions to bring down Lu Jialong were not entirely for Guo Weidong's sake. The main reason was that Lu Jialong was too arrogant and domineering. How could a dignified billionaire be threatened by a small real estate company? Wouldn't he lose face if word got out?
Chen Ze got up and went to the window, looking at the sky, wondering how things were going with Jianghai Real Estate, and whether the Governor's Office had intervened.
Meanwhile, Jianghai Real Estate Company was in a similar situation to what Chen Ze had imagined. The entire company was sealed off by the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department, and the company's boss, Lu Jialong, was taken away for investigation.
Jianghai Real Estate also had two buildings under construction and three plots of land sealed off. One of the completed buildings was also designated as a dangerous building.
A crowd of onlookers gathered at the company entrance, whispering and discussing among themselves.
"I heard that Jianghai Real Estate is suspected of tax evasion, and the amount involved is huge!"
"That's right. They looked so glamorous before, but now they've fallen from grace."
Lu Jialong was escorted out of the company by police officers. He was pale and dejected, and his former arrogance was nowhere to be seen.
In the police car, Lu Jialong wondered who had betrayed him, and if they found out, he would throw them into the sea to feed the fish.
Is it his mistress/secretary?
Or is it one of his trusted confidants and favorites?
Could it be that your wife, who's not exactly known for her beauty, told on you?
Lu Jialong tried to guess who betrayed him, but he couldn't figure it out. He guessed who it was from everyone around him.
To his utter surprise, Chen Ze was behind it all.
The following day, Hong Kong Headline News reported that the court had decided to put Jianghai Real Estate up for auction.
The news of the auction immediately attracted the attention of many real estate tycoons and investors.
On that day, the Kowloon auction site was packed with people, and the atmosphere was tense and exciting.
The bidders were eager to compete and showdown.
Some people are trying to expand their business empire, while others are eyeing the potential value of Jianghai Real Estate and want to take advantage of the opportunity to buy at a bargain price.
The auctioneer stepped onto the stage and began to introduce the relevant information about Jianghai Real Estate and the bidding rules. As his gavel fell, the bidding officially began.
Prices soared, and competition was fierce. Every bid gripped the hearts of everyone present.
After several rounds of bidding, a powerful real estate company successfully won the bid for Jianghai Real Estate for a high price of 500 million yuan, and the auction came to an end amidst the discussions of the crowd.
Shen Xiyu turned her head and looked at Chen Ze with a strange expression: "Boss, didn't you say you were here for an auction? Why aren't you bidding?"
Chen Ze explained helplessly, "These real estate developers are asking for too much. I won't make any money in the short term if I buy it, and I'll also be responsible for reinforcing that dilapidated building. It's simply a losing proposition."
"Sigh!" Shen Xiyu sighed, "We've been running around doing all this, only to end up working for someone else and even losing HK$300,000 in detective fees."
"Forget it, it's bad luck not to mention it."
After leaving the auction house, Chen Ze and his group went to Standard Chartered Bank to exchange their money. Chen Ze exchanged $200 million in RMB and transferred it back to the Gray Wolf Company's account in China.
He used the money for company expenses, and then transferred 335 million RMB, totaling 50 million USD, to his personal account.
Hong Kong Grey Wolf Investment Company has $2 billion left.
In the afternoon, Chen Ze and his group returned to Shenzhen at around 5:30 p.m. As soon as he got home, he heard Wang Siyu making a ruckus in the living room.
She wondered who had upset her this time.
When he walked into the hall, he saw Wang Siyu and Liu Bingjie staring at each other on the sofa, looking like they were about to fight.
Chen Ze walked over and sat down between the two of them, smiling as he asked, "Princess, who made you angry?"
Liu Bingjie pointed at Wang Siyu with an unhappy expression and said, "It's all Siyu's fault. She took me to recharge my gym membership. They offered a 10,000 yuan bonus for every 20,000 yuan I recharged, and guess what happened?"
"What's wrong? It's just a gym membership, what's there to be angry about?"
Wang Siyu chimed in, "That's right, getting angry over 20,000 yuan? My man has plenty of money."
Liu Bingjie punched Chen Ze with her fist: "Hey! You don't know, I deposited 20,000 yuan to cover two months' worth of fees, but the gym went out of business after I only went for one night."
"Did the gym owner run away due to poor management?"
Liu Bingjie said angrily, "It didn't go bankrupt naturally, and the boss didn't run away."
"What do you mean by 'not going bankrupt naturally'? Does it mean it went bankrupt or not? If it doesn't work out, just ask for a refund!"
"But now the gym has been transferred to someone else by the original owner, and it was transferred to a rural person with no job, no income, and no housing."
This is debt transfer! Chen Ze had heard of this tactic in his previous life, which means that the current boss is a professional scapegoat hired by the original boss.
The original owner used membership fees to scam others. They used the most favorable prices to trick customers into recharging, and then the owner would collect enough membership fees.
The boss immediately spent several thousand yuan to find a rural resident on welfare, transferred the company to him, and then canceled the memberships that customers had previously paid. If you want to work out, you have to keep paying.
Even if you sue him in court, it won't do any good, because the shop owner has already closed and transferred ownership. In other words, the shop owner exploited a legal loophole to make money.
Chen Ze frowned deeply, the veins on his forehead bulging slightly, his anger seemingly about to erupt. This blatant fraud was truly infuriating to him!
