Although Hong Jinbao was an accomplice, he was only sentenced to one year and five months in prison, suspended for two years, because he surrendered himself and reported the crime.
Later, with the help of Shi Yizhen, Hong Jinbao took over the Fushun Bakery without much effort.
From a street urchin doing nothing, he transformed himself into a big boss.
Hong Jinbao was actually a good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat, drink, gamble and whore. Under his "hard work", the Fushun Bakery went bankrupt in less than half a year.
Of course, Shi Yizhen’s handiwork was also part of this.
Shi Yizhen did this naturally at Pei Ziheng's instruction.
Hong Jinbao helped Wang Hongcheng harm his mother many times, so how could he let the other party sit back and enjoy the good life?
Wang Hongcheng had some vision and brains. After making his first fortune, he directly bought the site of the Fushun factory.
But ever since Wang Hongcheng went to prison, the business of Fushun Bakery went from bad to worse. Almost all the old customers were secretly poached by Shi Yizhen, and Hong Jinbao himself was incapable of negotiating new customers. Instead, he spent every day eating, drinking and having fun with a bunch of friends, spending money lavishly, and emptied the factory. He owed a lot of debts to banks and creditors, so he had to use the factory to pay off his debts.
For Shen Mingzhu, hearing the news that the Fushun Bakery Factory was going to be auctioned was like finding a pillow when she was sleepy.
The Fushun Cake Factory covers an area of five acres and has a factory area of more than 5,000 square meters, which is more than twice as large as the food factory. It also has very complete workshop production equipment, including a mooncake production line.
Buying the Fushun Bakery Factory was a sure win for Shen Mingzhu.
She raised money and signed up for the auction as soon as possible.
She had just bought a house and didn't even have five hundred dollars in her hand, but she wanted to buy a factory worth more than fifty thousand dollars.
She admires herself very much.
…
The auction date is April 25th and the venue is Fengcheng Intermediate People's Court.
The auction started at 10 o'clock, and Shen Mingzhu arrived at around 9:30.
Maybe it was because it was still early, but there were fewer people in the auction venue than Shen Mingzhu had imagined, with only seven or eight people sitting sparsely.
Some were whispering to each other, while others looked at her and Shen Hongmei with inquiring eyes.
Learning from past experience, Shen Mingzhu deliberately dressed low-key today, wearing a plaid shirt with a loose blue suit on the outside, a pigtail hanging behind her head, and black-framed plain glasses on her face.
She looks like a female employee in her thirties.
Shen Hongmei was dressed similarly to her, the only difference was that she didn't wear glasses.
Shen Mingzhu found an inconspicuous seat in the back row and sat down, looking down at the auction process, while Shen Hongmei looked around with curiosity on her face.
As the time approached ten o'clock, there were many more people in the auction hall than before.
Shen Mingzhu counted silently and concluded that there should be about ten companies participating in the auction.
With two minutes left until ten o'clock, a man and a woman walked in from outside.
Shen Mingzhu glanced at it casually, and her gaze suddenly froze.
The man was not tall and looked to be in his forties. He was wearing a suit and tie, his hair was combed sleekly, and he had a briefcase under his arm, looking like a boss.
The young woman following behind the middle-aged man was Sun Feifei.
After not seeing each other for two years, Sun Feifei has changed a lot. Her hair is permed into the popular big waves, her makeup is very heavy, her collar is very low, and a hint of cleavage is faintly visible.
In this era, such dress is considered quite bold and outrageous.
As expected, Sun Feifei's arrival attracted a lot of attention, especially from men.
Sun Feifei didn't care at all and took a seat in the front row with the middle-aged man.
Shen Mingzhu retracted her gaze, thought for a moment, then turned her head and whispered to Shen Hongmei, "When the auction starts later, you will make your bid."
Shen Hongmei was so nervous that her breathing became rapid. "Let's not do it. What if I mess it up for you?"
Shen Mingzhu comforted him, "Don't be afraid, just listen to my instructions. When I need to bid, I will pinch your little finger and increase the price by one thousand each time."
In her entire life, she had never bought anything that cost more than fifty yuan, but now she had to sit here and buy a factory worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Such a grand scene is enough for her to brag about for the rest of her life.
The reason why Shen Mingzhu asked Shen Hongmei to bid was that she didn't want to attract Sun Feifei's attention.
Several confrontations between her and Sun Feifei ended with Sun Feifei's defeat. In the last confrontation two years ago, Sun Feifei suffered the consequences of her own actions. Not only did she have a criminal record, but she also lost her respectable job.
Given Sun Feifei's personality and character, knowing that she wanted to buy the factory in Fushun, he would definitely interfere.
Fortunately, Sun Feifei didn't notice her.
Shen Mingzhu took out a mask from her bag and put it on. During this period, willow catkins were flying all over the streets, so she wore a mask every day when she went out.
…
At ten o'clock, the auction officially began.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Although there were not many companies participating in the auction, everyone was quite active in bidding. After all, the starting price of 50,000 was much lower than the estimated price of 65,000.
"Boss Shen, aren't we going to make an offer?"
Seeing that everyone in the field participated in the bidding except them, who were silent, Shen Hongmei's mentality was obviously a little unstable.
Shen Mingzhu whispered, "Don't worry, good food is never too late."
There is no point in participating in the bidding now, except to drive up the auction price too quickly.
When the bidding price exceeded 65,000, several groups of people who had been bidding actively before stopped.
When the price was raised to 70,000, there were only two groups of bidders left.
One group is the middle-aged men around Sun Feifei, and the other group is from a local condiment company.
The reason they knew each other was because Shen Mingzhu had previously cooperated with this seasoning company.
The two sides negotiated back and forth, and the price was quickly raised to 75,000.
After a brief thought, the middle-aged man next to Sun Feifei seemed to have given up and did not make any more bids.
Just when everyone thought that the factory would be taken over by the seasoning company, Shen Mingzhu signaled Shen Hongmei to bid.
"Seventy-six thousand."
Perhaps because she was too nervous, Shen Hongmei's voice was trembling and sounded a little funny.
Almost instantly, everyone in the audience turned to look at the two of them.
Shen Mingzhu was still calm, but Shen Hongmei had never seen such a scene before. Her face turned red and she was at a loss.
But soon, Shen Mingzhu lost her composure.
Because Cai Kunda, the owner of the seasoning company, recognized her and said, "Shen Mingzhu, are you deliberately trying to pick a fight?"
Although her armed mother didn't recognize her, Cai Kunda recognized Shen Hongmei beside her.
There was some unpleasantness in the previous cooperation between the two companies, and Cai Kunda mistakenly thought that she was deliberately raising the bidding price.
"Seventy-seven thousand!"
Just as Shen Mingzhu was about to explain something, someone in the field suddenly shouted out a new bid.
It’s Sun Feifei.
Shen Mingzhu looked over and saw the other person sneering at her with ill intent.
