"You heard it too, the police are here, I have to go to jail. Let me tell you in advance, if I don't get out by Saturday night, when the stock opens next Monday, I believe you will see a big green bar on the Beike stock chart. I'll be waiting for you in jail!" Lu Feng said and hung up the phone.
Lu Feng stood up and put his hands behind his back. Two policemen came over and handcuffed him.
"You are now accused of rape. As you are a foreign national, in order to prevent your escape, we are summoning you in accordance with the law. We hope you will cooperate with the investigation. Let's go!" The lead police officer showed Lu Feng a summons and then he was taken away.
When the company saw that the boss had been taken away, everyone was in a panic. Manager Li stood in his office watching anxiously, while Lu Feng remained calm and composed, seemingly unfazed by the situation.
"What exactly does President Lu do? It seems like he's more stable in his mood while he's in jail than when I'm at work," an assistant across from me asked.
"How would I know? Hurry up and get to work. Contact someone to apply for bail!" Manager Li hurriedly followed Lu Feng's instructions, first contacting Sean to ask him to find some connections, and then calling John, since he was a local and Schroders Group was also a local company.
George sat in his seat, feeling extremely uneasy. He had originally thought that this move would directly bring down Lu Feng, but who would have thought that Lu Feng would have evidence of his financial fraud?
"Is he bluffing me?" George wondered to himself.
Beko was a poorly performing company in the early stages and was not well-regarded in the stock market. It had been falsifying its accounts for several years. If this were exposed, George's situation would be no better than Lu Feng's.
The two sides are fighting so fiercely, they mustn't both suffer heavy losses and end up letting someone else benefit.
The news of Lu Feng's detention spread like wildfire. In just a few days, George's methods made the entire London business community take notice. From now on, anyone who says he's brainless is just insulting others. This series of dazzling methods is not something a brainless person could pull off.
At the dinner, Stephen drank his wine and told everyone that the situation was settled. Even with the Schroders Group backing him up, a mere foreign company couldn't cause any big waves, while the exorbitant profits of direct selling were truly on full display.
George didn't tell Stephen any of this. Although they were friends, he would be out of his mind to tell his friend about the financial fraud. He had to weigh the pros and cons.
Neither George nor Lu Feng slept well that night.
Sean helped make some connections, while John contacted the police station. In any case, Lu Feng couldn't be locked up at this crucial moment; John had placed too much pressure on Lu Feng.
The following day, Jiafeng issued a clarification message in the media, and also launched an event within the agent team, firstly to bring everyone together to explain some things, and secondly to train some new lecturers.
Around 10 a.m., Beko's new company activities continued. George did not go to the company this time; his insomnia all night had made him look quite haggard.
The phone on his desk rang. George answered it, and it was the general manager of the Walmart branch. After deliberation, they decided to sue Jiafeng Electronics for unfair competition and selling substandard products, and they hoped Beko would cooperate.
“If I don’t cooperate, will you still proceed?” George asked.
"Of course, these actions have seriously damaged our interests. As retailers, we are entitled to make some decisions for our customers. We can guarantee the best, which direct selling cannot provide. They are scammers!" The person on the other end of the phone ruthlessly categorized direct selling as a fraud.
"I'm sorry, I may not be able to cooperate with you. Good luck!" George hung up the phone.
After a whole night of deliberation, George had made his decision. If he were to fight Lu Feng to the death, and if Jia Feng really had evidence of financial fraud, then he would truly have nothing.
He was interested in direct selling because he wanted to make more money. But he didn't want to risk losing all his savings for a little money.
There was a knock on the office door, and Stephen walked in. Seeing George's haggard face, he said incredulously, "Did you celebrate with a few girls last night? Going to the new company, huh? We should be keeping an eye on the new company's progress; these next few days are a crucial window of opportunity!"
George looked up at him, remained silent for a while, and then said, "I don't want to do it anymore. I don't know if I can succeed by trying, but what I've felt these past two days is that trying is really tiring. I'm quitting and going home to sleep."
