"What important matter requires you to come to me in person?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Weinian got down to business.
Lin Xiaoxiao handed him the documents in her hand and said slowly, "A batch of counterfeit tickets has appeared on the market. The counterfeiting methods are so sophisticated that they are almost identical to the versions produced by the printing factory."
As she spoke, she showed him two grain coupons.
Apart from the number and sequence, it is impossible to tell the difference between real and fake with the naked eye.
Chu Weinian and the other elderly people all became solemn.
Forging tickets is no small matter.
If scarce resources are obtained by forging tickets and then sold at high prices on the black market to make a huge profit, this speculative behavior seriously disrupts market order and the order of material circulation.
"We must crack down on this severely." The old man, who was practicing calligraphy, put down his brush and spoke angrily.
"Cough cough cough..." The excitement triggered the cough.
The others tensed up instantly.
"Just focus on getting better, don't worry too much, your health is the most important thing."
"Yes, the production and issuance of tickets is the responsibility of the Ministry of Commerce, so we'll leave it to Weinian to handle."
His health has always been a point of concern and worry for everyone.
The doctor, who was on standby, was called in to examine him and said helplessly, "Comrade, you need to rest now, keep your emotions stable, and don't get too excited."
The old man smiled and said, "Rest now."
The doctor knew him well; he kept saying he was resting, but his mind was never stopping.
Lin Xiaoxiao observed his expression discreetly, thinking that he had only been gone for a year and a half in her previous life.
It seems that his body has almost reached its limit.
She does have medicine in her space, enough to delay the disease for at least five years.
But she did not want to change the course of history.
I'm torn.
The doctor will draw blood from the elderly person, measure their blood pressure, and perform a physical examination.
Chu Weinian then took Lin Xiaoxiao outside the courtyard to discuss the matter of forging tickets.
"The one who committed the counterfeiting was my adoptive father, Lin Dashan. It wasn't a gang operation, the amount involved wasn't large, and it was still under control. The main problem was that the printing press was of unknown origin."
Lin Dashan was quite cautious. He knew that too many counterfeit tickets would attract attention, so he controlled the quantity each time he secretly printed them.
"I'll issue a note here regarding the machine, and have the State Security Bureau and the Public Security Bureau investigate the printing factory. Generally, each machine has a unique serial number, so it shouldn't be difficult to investigate." Chu Weinian was still examining the genuine and counterfeit tickets.
He looked at it again and again, but he still couldn't see much difference.
Lin Xiaoxiao explained to him, "The paper mill provides the printing plant with high-quality paper for its tickets, which is specially designed for the printing plant and can effectively prevent counterfeiting."
"The only difference between these two tickets is the quality of the paper."
Chu Weinian twirled the grain coupons; they did feel different to the touch.
It is obvious that the paper of genuine grain coupons contains special fibers, making it more durable than that of counterfeit ones.
"It's good that you found out about this early." Chu Weinian breathed a sigh of relief.
By the time they discover it, counterfeit tickets will probably already be rampant in the market.
The consequences at that time would be unimaginable.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled.
Lin Dashan somehow got hold of such a large printing press, and whenever he was short of money, he would print some tickets to sell.
It is precisely because ticket printing does not require much value; as long as there are templates and styles, ordinary tickets can be printed very easily.
Tickets that involve national security, such as military tickets or special material tickets, require more advanced printing plants and printing technologies.
Just as Lin Xiaoxiao and Chu Weinian were discussing things in Courtyard No. 1, Lin Dashan went to that secluded alley again, went into that house, and soon several policemen climbed over the wall and arrested him red-handed.
Even the machines that were in operation were taken away.
Lin Heping and Lin Ping'an, who were working at the factory and the railway bureau, were also taken away by the police.
Apart from Lin Wanwan, who is in the military, all other members of the Lin family have been brought to justice.
"Forging tickets and disrupting the market economy?" The Lu family was thunderstruck when they received the news.
Old Master Lu was the first to react, and asked urgently, "Second son, quickly make Lin Wanwan publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with the Lin family."
"Ah... okay, I'll call Yunzhang right away." Lu Hua was thinking about something.
Seeing his unusual behavior, Old Master Lu had a bad feeling. "You don't have much interaction with Lin Dashan, do you?"
“Dad…” Lu Hua swallowed hard and glanced at Old Master Lu.
"Tell me, what did you accept from him?" Old Master Lu understood immediately and became impatient.
"They didn't take much, just a little money."
It was Lin Dashan who took the initiative to give it to Lu Hua, and Lu Hua didn't think much of it at the time.
Grandpa Lu slammed his hand on the table. “Give all the money you received to the police and say it’s Lin Dashan’s dowry money for his daughter.”
The money from making counterfeit tickets will eventually be confiscated.
If you accept money that's not clean, those people from the "tail-cutting society" might keep hounding you.
The right choice is to voluntarily hand it over.
Lu Hua first called Lu Yunzhang, and then went to collect the money.
Looking at the thick wad of banknotes, Lu Hua felt like he had survived a disaster.
What he didn't tell the old man was that Lin Dashan had asked him to do something a while ago, and he had given him at least 50,000 yuan.
He took the money, but hasn't had time to help him yet.
Now that Lin Dashan has been arrested, he certainly won't talk about these private deals.
Lu Hua's eyes flickered.
Fifty thousand yuan is not a small amount, and he plans to keep it for himself.
Courtyard No. 1.
After Lin Xiaoxiao and Chu Weinian finished discussing their business, they noticed that things weren't over yet, so they started chatting.
"Xiao Nian told me about what happened to you guys at the army base yesterday."
"You revealed the matter of forging tickets in an attempt to deal with the Lin family?"
Chu Weinian was able to become the Minister of Commerce, and was highly valued by his superiors, which naturally shows that he was very intelligent.
They immediately guessed Lin Xiaoxiao's motives and purpose.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "No, I am a model young person with a strong sense of social responsibility. I do these things naturally for the sake of the country, society, and people. How could it be for personal gain?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaonian couldn't help but laugh.
He watched Lin Xiaoxiao act silly and thought to himself, "If only she were my daughter."
Unfortunately, the Chu family was dominated by males and had no females; for several generations, they only had sons and not a single daughter.
"If this is confirmed, the Lin family is probably finished."
It's clearly a violation of the law, and according to current laws, the punishment won't be easy.
Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes; the fate of the Lin family was already sealed long ago.
The injustices and abuse the original owner suffered should finally come to an end.
As for Lin Wanwan, the Lu family will most likely protect her.
No rush.
Hearing a faint cough coming from inside, Lin Xiaoxiao said to Chu Weinian, "It's getting cold, Uncle Chu, you should take care of yourself."
Chu Weinian smiled and nodded, seemingly understanding her implication.
Lin Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, began to consider the feasibility of what she was thinking.
