On the way home, Lu Wanqing explained to them the tricks of scammers.
Pretending to ask for directions, pretending to be broke so they can treat you to a meal at a restaurant, and even claiming you've lost your wallet and want to borrow money...
It's nothing more than exploiting people's sympathy to swindle money.
Of course, the money is a minor issue; the real problem is that the three children are so young, making them easy targets for trafficking.
"You must stay close to Grandma and remain vigilant at all times on the road."
Lu Wanqing gave repeated instructions.
Bad people exist in every era, and people in this era are generally simple and honest, which makes them easier to deceive.
Those who do these despicable things are organized, use a variety of scams, and have no moral bottom line, causing those who truly need help to be misunderstood.
Elaine Chao was naturally full of admiration for her. She knew so much; if she hadn't arrived in time, she would have been in serious trouble today.
After sending the children back, Lu Wanqing went out again under the pretext of buying groceries.
These people have come to our doorstep to commit fraud; they must be dealt with.
She found a secluded corner to enter the space, put on old-age makeup, then dressed in gorgeous old-age clothes, and adorned herself with gold jewelry around her neck and wrists.
It was the same alley. When I got to the tailor shop, the old lady came over again.
Using the same excuse, they tried to get Lu Wanqing to lead the way.
"Okay, come with me."
She gripped the miniature stun gun in her pocket and readily agreed.
Because she was dressed as an elderly person, she walked slowly, observing her surroundings as she went.
When they reached a secluded corner, a middle-aged man holding a knife emerged from the darkness.
"Take out all your valuables!" the burly man with a menacing face said fiercely.
If you happen to encounter a real elderly person, you'll definitely be terrified and obediently do as they say.
Lu Wanqing smiled slightly, reached out and pulled the old woman next to her into her arms, pressing a miniature stun gun against her throat.
"Put the knife down, or I'll stun her with electricity."
She spoke with great energy, not at all like an elderly person, and the man was stunned for a moment.
However, he quickly brandished the knife in his hand, a wicked smile on his face, and said:
"I didn't expect you to be so capable. You thought I would care about her? She's just a tool for me to deceive people."
The old woman who was with him got anxious, "Chaozi, you can't just abandon me! I'm your aunt! I've helped you make a lot of this kind of shady money."
"You're unlucky to have fallen into someone else's hands." The man's eyes darted around, looking for an opportunity to escape.
Lu Wanqing knocked the old woman unconscious with an electric shock, then took out a tranquilizer gun from her spatial storage and shot the woman.
The man felt something sting his back, took a few steps, and then suddenly everything went black and he collapsed to the ground.
She stepped forward, pulled out the tranquilizer dart, and then shouted "Robbery!"
Soon, a number of concerned citizens ran out of the alley. Upon seeing Lu Wanqing, they said that the person lying on the ground was a robber who had suddenly fallen ill and fainted. They quickly went to call the police.
Lu Wanqing naturally wouldn't stay long. There were many things she couldn't explain, but the jewelry and money she had stolen from the man were enough for the police to thoroughly investigate them.
A few days later, the newspaper published a report about the arrest of a robbery gang.
After reading the report, Elaine Chao wondered to herself, "Could this be the same group that tried to deceive me that day? It's good that they caught them. I'm always terrified when I take my children to and from school."
Robbing her money is a minor matter; what if she kidnaps her precious children? That would be the death of her.
......
After resolving this potential problem, Lu Wanqing began to organize the wholesale store.
To ensure a stable supply of goods, in addition to signing an agreement with Duan Factory of Huamei Garment Factory, she also found several other factories to provide her with suitable products.
We shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket, lest we see another person like Xu Jin, who is eager for quick success and instant benefits.
Qianjin Garment Factory is completely finished; it is insolvent and has announced a halt to production.
Because of this matter, Fok Ying-tung was frowning every day.
Wanting to know how things were going, Feng Yu secretly sneaked into the study and peeked at his documents, where he saw a proposal to liquidate or sell the Qianjin Garment Factory.
There are several ways to deal with a state-owned enterprise going bankrupt. One way is to go bankrupt and liquidate it, sell off all the valuable assets in the factory, including the land and factory buildings, change the accounts, and then resettle the laid-off workers.
One approach is to sell the factory as a package and privatize it. This is a recently developed way to revitalize state-owned assets, and it has been successfully piloted in some places, but there is no precedent in Beijing.
One advantage of this resale method is that employees can retain their jobs and avoid being laid off.
There were already so many educated youth returning to the city that we couldn't keep up with the demand for work. If another large-scale layoff occurred, things could easily go wrong.
Fok Ying-tung naturally didn't want anything to happen, but there was no precedent for such a resale, and the value was enormous, making it difficult for anyone to afford it.
Feng Yu thought about it again and realized that this was a mess. The main workshop was on fire and all the equipment was burned. Whoever took it over would be in trouble!
Why not let Lu Wanqing suffer such misfortune?
During the meal, she casually mentioned that Lu Wanqing now runs a clothing store in Wangfujing and a wholesale store in Dong'an Market, and is really determined to make her clothing business bigger and stronger!
Her words really worked; after finishing his meal, Fok Ying-tung went back to his study to do his research.
If Lu Wanqing is interested, that would be great. Someone will take her in, and even if they offer more support policies, as long as it doesn't cause a riot among the employees, that's fine.
Soon, Lu Wanqing became a guest of honor of Fok Ying-tung.
He offered very favorable terms: not only would he sell the factory at a low price, but he would also exempt it from taxes for a year.
Lu Wanqing naturally had plans to build a factory in her business empire, but she didn't expect that a ready-made garment factory would come knocking on her door so quickly.
"Senior, I'm interested in this, but where am I supposed to raise three million all at once?!"
Even if she doesn't buy a house in Hong Kong, it will be difficult for her to raise this money in a short time.
"How much can you raise?" Fok Ying-tung had high expectations for her.
As it turned out, Lu Wanqing said that she could only come up with a maximum of 500,000 yuan, and that was after withdrawing funds from the wholesale store.
Wholesale is very profitable. If she does this, it's like killing a goose that lays golden eggs to invest in a risky project.
Huo Yingdong also hesitated; he didn't want Lu Wanqing to take any risks.
Although the problem needs to be solved, I can't let my junior sister get hurt!
Looking at Lu Wanqing, who was even more charming than when she was in school, he was once again troubled.
After several discussions, the results were not ideal. Seeing that the time was right, Lu Wanqing proposed a solution.
"The government is now encouraging self-employed individuals, and banks have launched special loans, some of which are interest-free. If I could get a loan and have enough funds, I would be willing to take over."
Upon hearing this suggestion, Fok Ying-tung waved his hand while sitting in his office chair.
“I’ve thought of this idea, but the loan amount is very small. Each person can only borrow 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, which is a drop in the bucket.”
