The handover of the national treasures lasted for several days, and by the time everything was finished, it was almost the afternoon of November 2nd.
Gao Ang hasn't gone anywhere these past few days; he's spent all his time in the Forbidden City.
"I knew it! The Forbidden City's structure must be extraordinary. Now I understand..."
"This formation is ingenious... It's a perfect harmony between heaven and man, a natural masterpiece, truly magnificent!"
"What's buried underground? Wow, this is a huge undertaking!"
Under his full power, everything in the Forbidden City was laid bare before him.
Given various circumstances and reasons, Gao Ang did not dare to continue the investigation. After handing over the cultural relics that should be handed over, he left Kyoto with the other treasures that were entirely his own.
He hasn't been working for nothing these past few days; at least he's added his own labels to these previously unclaimed items and given these treasures many certificates.
From this moment on, these items will belong to his personal collection, and he has the right to dispose of them as he sees fit.
It can be bought and sold, given away as a gift, or even used as a chamber pot...
When they returned to Changying Island, Chisui told him some good news: "Our network can now be synchronized with the three major telecom operators."
"Oh? I thought Xia Yu would cause us trouble. It seems he's quite magnanimous."
Gao Ang was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, Xia Yu was at least in a position of power, yet he remained so calm after being slapped in the face like that. He was quite impressive.
Gao Ang couldn't help but silently give him a thumbs up.
"Well, actually he did order those people to go back, but... in the end, a certain general stopped him."
Qian Sui explained the facts to Gao Ang.
Gao Ang was taken aback. "There's such a twist in this story?"
I take back my high opinion of Xia Yu; he's just so-so.
However, Gao Yang felt a bit intimidated, or rather, somewhat resistant, when dealing with generals.
He prefers to work on civilian gadgets and is somewhat resistant to military-grade products.
After settling these Western treasures, Gao Ang asked Qian Sui to do something.
He then called over his senior sister, Du Yibing, to handle the equity matters again.
"Are you two playing me? The share transfer only lasted a few days, and now you're transferring it again? Are you kidding me?"
In Du Yibing's office, this woman was so angry that she was practically ready to unleash her fury, wishing she could throw her coffee at Gao Zheng's head.
"Senior sister, calm down."
Gao Ang awkwardly touched his nose. "They don't need me to be a front man anymore, so let's just return the shares to their rightful owners... I'm also too busy on my end, so this will lighten my burden a bit."
"Reduce the burden my foot! Have you ever attended a shareholders' meeting? You just looked at a few financial statements and managed to get the company delisted? You're really something!"
Du Yibing was furious. When she heard Gao Ang mention some kind of burden, she finally let out all the anger she had been holding in.
Regarding the Anmei Pharmaceutical incident, she was criticized quite a bit.
"It was an accident, purely an accident. But speaking of which, senior sister, if I hadn't looked at the financial report, I might have lost all of President Xia's money."
"Oh, so you mean you, General Gao, are a man of great principle, willing to put aside your own family for the greater good and punish lawbreakers?"
Don't let her beauty fool you; she's got a knack for making sarcastic remarks.
He scolded Gao Ang severely in a few words, but thankfully, he reluctantly agreed to accompany Xia Weiwei to handle the new equity transfer procedures.
"You guys are really something. Last time you went, and this time she's going. Anyway, I'm going to be there too. I'm just a miserable person!"
Du Yibing leaned back in his chair, looking completely distraught.
"Senior sister, I'll give you a way to make a fortune: short sell stocks like Beidahuang, and I guarantee you'll make a killing."
Gao Yang came up with a terrible idea.
"What do you mean? I haven't really dealt with stocks. You're not trying to trick your senior sister, are you? To get revenge for breaking up our relationship back then?"
Gao Ang rolled his eyes. What was all this nonsense? "What's past is past," he waved his hand dismissively, not taking the matter to heart at all. He continued, "These past few days, the stocks I've listed have been doing quite well, haven't they? Maybe it's because they saw 'Gao Ang' on the major shareholder lists of Dong Sheng Health, Dong Xing Power, and Dong An Intelligent. I heard from Qian Sui that those stock speculators have even created some kind of 'Gao Ang' concept. Bei Da Huang has almost doubled in value. Now you're going to short sell, and once you and President Xia have finished the share transfer, and my name is removed from Bei Da Huang's shareholder list... wouldn't you be harvesting the韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting retail investors)?"
Du Yibing's eyes widened. "There's such a way to play? It sounds very simple."
"Mr. Du, don't listen to his nonsense. You might end up in legal trouble."
Xia Weiwei couldn't sit still any longer. She glared at Gao Ang and said, "The Securities Law has regulations on this. What you're doing constitutes insider trading. Be careful, you might get sued."
When it comes to law, that's Du Yibing's forte, but she really hasn't studied much about laws related to the securities market.
"Wait, is this illegal? Let me see."
Gao Ang pretended to take out his phone, fiddled with it for a while, and then said, "It's not a big deal. You're not some big capitalist. Besides, you can make a little money and earn some extra cash. If all else fails, you can use your uncle's or aunt's account, or someone else's account."
At this moment, Qian Sui's voice came through the earpiece, "Sir, don't give bad advice. Senior Sister Du has no way of buying shorted shares."
Why?
"That's how it is in the domestic market. Ordinary retail investors can only buy on margin, which means they can only go long and are prohibited from shorting. Short selling is a regulatory tool used by specific institutions."
This is so awkward! I just explained a whole bunch of arbitrage steps to my senior colleague, and now...
"Senior sister, I think we should avoid shorting."
Gao Ang changed his tune and immediately began to persuade her.
"Why? I think you're right. I didn't mean any harm. It's just a small thing, what's wrong with getting a little extra money for my trouble?"
“We are legal professionals, how can we break the law knowingly? Besides, you haven’t seen the news, have you? A few days ago, Wang Dayue, the former chairman of Kaiying Network, was sentenced to five years in prison for insider trading and stock manipulation. His brother, Lin Dabing, was also arrested for insider trading. I don’t want to be delivering prison food to you in a while.”
"Is it that serious?" Du Yibing was taken aback. She didn't object to making some money, but being arrested and going to jail at the drop of a hat was something she had to weigh the pros and cons of.
After much deliberation, she decided to drop the matter. "You little rascal, you're always giving your senior sister bad advice."
He glared at Gao Feng fiercely. "I almost believed your nonsense! Even the female demon Lao Fang said that the only mistake she made in her more than 20 years on the run was investing in stocks. You still dare to fool me into investing in stocks? Are you asking for a beating?"
"I was just trying to get you some pocket money..." Gao Ang muttered, but was glared at by his senior sister.
He quickly looked away, only then remembering that he still had a few things on him.
He took a box out of his pocket, tossed it on the table, and slid it across the table. "I don't have any money, but this is a small token of my appreciation for my senior sister."
"What's this?"
Du Yibing picked up the ordinary-looking box, examined it from all angles, and it didn't look like anything valuable at all. She shook it a few times, and it felt very light...
"Oh, and this too."
Slapping his forehead, Gao Ang took out another stack of documents from his briefcase. "These are the relevant procedures. I can sign them now and transfer them to you for free."
"The agate and gold brooch used by the new Queen Consort of the Kingdom of Ho?"
"Ah, some friends abroad gave it to me. I had experts from the Palace Museum look at it, and it really is worth some money. Of course, the most important thing is that it's beautiful. With my senior sister's good looks, this brooch can be said to have found the most suitable new owner."
Gao Ang isn't very good at flattery, but placing his senior sister on the same level as a princess shouldn't be wrong, right?
Sure enough, after Du Yibing looked at those documents, her mood immediately brightened and even turned radiant. "16th century? There really was such a princess? Junior brother, this must be very valuable, senior sister can't take it!"
He said he couldn't accept it, but his hand held on tightly, showing no intention of giving it back.
"It's not very expensive, probably around 200,000 gold, which is only a little over 1 million Dongguo currency. It's nothing."
Gao Ang waved his hand dismissively, saying that let alone more than a million, just based on the fact that his senior sister had gotten him out of the county bureau, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to add another zero.
"Ahem, Senior Sister's brooch is really beautiful."
Xia Weiwei spoke words of envy, but her eyes kept lingering on Gao Ang: "Give me one, hurry up!"
"Right, I think it looks great too, and it matches my senior sister perfectly. But, it seems like something's missing..."
After looking at it for a while, Gao Ang felt that a single brooch couldn't bring out his senior's temperament, so he rummaged through his briefcase for a bit longer and finally found a suitable accessory to match.
"Senior sister, take another look at this, do you like it?"
Du Yibing was stunned, and Xia Weiwei was also stunned.
Du Yibing glanced at Xia Weiwei, took the document Gao Ang handed her, and after glancing at it, jumped up immediately. "The Queen of France's royal jade necklace? Such a big pearl? So many rubies and sapphires, and even black gemstones? My God, it's so beautiful!"
"Junior brother, I can't accept this. I want to live a few more years."
This time, Du Yibing refused the gift and pushed the documents back.
"What do you mean? It's just a necklace."
"This is a national treasure of the country. If I wear it around my neck, I'll have to be constantly on guard against any French assassins who might try to kill me. I don't want to live such a stressful life."
This time, Du Yibing didn't hesitate at all and decisively refused the gift, saying, "I really like this brooch, so I won't return it to you."
Gao Ang shrugged. Since she didn't want it, then forget it. Anyway, he didn't have it with him.
As for Xia Weiwei... he completely ignored her. He had already given her so many shares... Although these shares originally belonged to her, they were transferred from his name no matter what.
Having said everything he needed to say, Gao Ang ignored Xia Weiwei's glare, greeted his senior sister, and left Yingsheng Law Firm.
He didn't go far, but waited for Xia Weiwei at the main gate. He had something to tell her, but it wasn't convenient to do it in front of his senior sister.
"What's up?"
Xia Weiwei gathered her hair, turned her head, and asked casually.
She was still a little annoyed by Gao Feng's stinginess earlier.
She's not short of money, but she lacks that sentiment.
“I have something to show you,” Gao Ang said, taking out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handing it over. “You can handle this as you see fit. I don’t know if this is normal practice within your department or Xia Yu’s personal behavior, but I have a feeling something is off.”
"What's the meaning?"
Xia Weiwei took the documents, frowned as she looked at them for a few moments, and then took them seriously, spending quite a while looking at them.
"Aren't you cold? Let's talk in your car."
He wasn't cold, but it felt strange to be standing at the entrance of a building with a beautiful woman, looking at a stack of documents.
The two returned to Xia Weiwei's modified Wrangler. Xia Weiwei closed and locked the car door and continued reading the documents.
This time she looked at it for much longer than before, and she would frown from time to time.
Finally, Xia Weiwei put down the documents, turned her head, looked at Gao Feng, and asked with a serious expression, "Is everything you said true?"
"The information about the bar Xia Yu went to, the bar's legal representative, the relationship between the bar owner and Lamovic, and Lamovic's relationship with those antiquities smugglers are all true. If you want, I can give you the evidence."
The evidence is so simple; it's all in Qian Sui's head. He can pull it out anytime and print out a whole bunch of it.
"If it's convenient, could you give me a copy first?"
Xia Weiwei considered for a moment, then looked up and said.
"Sure, I'll get it sorted out and send it to you later. The old address of the villa, is that alright?"
"Um."
Looking at Xia Weiwei's profile, Gao Ang felt that this woman seemed even more unhappy than he had imagined.
"Do you know this Xia Yu?"
“I don’t know him, but he said he was very close to my father and talked about a lot of my father’s personal matters, such as his hobbies, some of which are only known to our family.” Xia Weiwei was also puzzled by this question. “But I have never heard of him from my father, and I don’t remember my father having any particularly close friends.”
Xia Yu was familiar with Xia Jiancheng, but Xia Jiancheng had never told Xia Weiwei anything about Xia Yu... Gao Ang always felt that Xia Jiancheng was a very complicated guy.
"So what do you plan to do with this document? Your father must have left you some backup plan in Bureau 303, such as helping you take control of Bureau 303 or something?"
Gao Feng asked tentatively.
"Are you watching a movie or reading a novel?" Xia Weiwei rolled her eyes at Gao Gao. "It's not that complicated. Bureau 303 isn't our family's business. The original purpose of Bureau 303 was to guide the development of Dongguo's science and technology industry, while consolidating the stability of Dongguo's existing capital, and dealing with some issues that can't be brought to the table in some gray areas. That's all."
This is interesting; it doesn't quite match the information Gao Ang obtained.
According to Xu Qing and the others, Bureau 303 mainly deals with bionics, with the goal of developing high technology; but when it comes to Xia Weiwei, it involves gray areas... and even the issue of capital stability.
As for which of the two women lied, Gao Ang believed that neither of them did.
It's just that each person is in charge of a different department, or rather, Xia Weiwei has a higher level of authority than Xu Qing.
"Alright then, you can have everything. Use it however you like. Anyway, I think Xia Yu is a problem. Be careful in the future, or you'll end up being sold out and still counting the money for him. Just like this trip to Bingcheng, if I hadn't been tough enough, and those old men had managed to get some of those things for free, I wouldn't care about losing a little. But if they pinned that on you, you'd be going to jail."
Xia Weiwei nodded. "Afterwards, I also felt that something was wrong with this matter. Xu Qing and you have a good relationship. Logically speaking, she should be the one to liaise with you. I also thought that Captain Xia would send someone like me who had just joined the company. I originally thought that he did it because of our past interactions. It seems that this was all his plan."
“I thought he was alright when I first met him, but I didn’t expect this…” Gao Ang shook his head. “I’ve deleted all their contact information. If you have any questions in the future, just contact me privately. I’m too lazy to deal with them anymore.”
After Xia Weiwei left, Gao Ang looked in the direction she had gone and muttered to himself, "I knew it, no rich kid is stupid."
Xia Weiwei didn't say much just now, but Gao Ang had already seen through her ambition.
If you were an ordinary person, would you dare to take the incriminating material against your boss?
Xia Weiwei not only took it, but also discussed it with him.
This is interesting. It shows that she doesn't care much about Xia Yu's status at all. Even if he knows she's investigating him, she's fearless.
Another point is that she did not refuse the transfer of shares.
If it were the Xia Weiwei from before, who was only focused on avenging her father, she might still be staying at the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Perhaps it was because of the Qushui Lake incident that this woman was stimulated and thus awakened?
Her father wasn't stupid; her genes must have been exceptional, plus she had some unique advantages...
"Sigh, it really is true that the rich rely on technology, while the poor rely on mutation."
Returning to Changying Island, Gao Yang felt relieved to be debt-free.
At first, I felt quite pleased with myself for holding so many shares, but later I always felt that they weren't truly mine, and it made me feel uneasy.
Now that the shares have all been returned, and the shares I own are from the empire I built myself, I feel very proud, even a little accomplished.
The companies are all developing rapidly and are on a very good track.
Let's not even talk about the health industry; the whole world relies on it. The batteries are also quite good; the market demand for high-precision batteries has been underestimated. And finally, the seemingly high-end robot has also secured a substantial order from the military…
Everything is getting better.
Meanwhile, the original drug market of Aoli Group is also being gradually eroded by Dongsheng Health.
This is mainly thanks to the national medical insurance program. Foreign drugs are always brought up with patent fees, leaving no room for price negotiation.
Once Dong Sheng Health's pharmaceutical products with similar properties were launched, they immediately engaged in fierce market competition with Aoli Group's asthma drugs and cardiovascular medicines.
The drugs produced at high cost have virtually no actual cost.
The only cost is the cost of the raw materials used to make the drug itself. The research and development cycle and investment costs of other companies are practically zero for them.
Therefore, the same asthma medication from the Aoli Group costs as much as 80 gold coins, while at Dong Sheng Health it only costs 20 Dong Guo Yuan...
The price difference is nearly thirty times...
"No wonder so many people invest in pharmaceutical research and development; it's incredibly lucrative."
It's not just pharmaceutical research and development; even medical devices generate huge profits.
If medical insurance hadn't reduced prices and cut back on the profit margins of pharmaceutical representatives, the prices of drugs and medical devices reaching patients would have been even higher.
After his last road trip was unexpectedly disrupted, the thing that smashed his RV into pieces was brought back to Bureau 303.
At that time, Gao Ang didn't stand on ceremony with them, so he didn't ask for much.
But things are different now; he's fallen out with Xia Yu...
"Director Zhang, there's something I need. Something of mine has been confiscated by Bureau 303. Could you help me find a middleman to put in a good word and get it back for me?"
Gao Ang took out his phone and made a call to Director Zhang of the Health Bureau.
Others are fine too, but Director Zhang is the one with the best relationship with me, and the one with the deepest bond.
"What is it? I can try it."
"Remember that news from Qingshan Province last time about something like a meteorite?"
Gao Feng mentioned him briefly.
"I remember, oh, you mean that white light was a meteorite?"
Director Zhang suddenly realized, "I knew it! Someone was trying to argue with me, saying it was some kind of UFO..."
"Actually, that's not wrong. It could be considered a UFO, but I still need to investigate the specifics, so I'll have to trouble you!"
"No, Mr. Gao, if it were a meteorite, that would be fine, but you're saying it's a UFO... I guess I'm out of ideas!"
Director Zhang spoke frankly and didn't try to show off. "If it's just a broken rock, we all see each other all the time, so we can just give each other face and share it. But if this is really a UFO, then it involves national security, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to get involved."
Gao Ang nodded. "Alright, I won't trouble you. But who do you think would be more reliable for me? The old man? Isn't that unnecessary?"
He was somewhat interested in this UFO-like thing, but more importantly, he didn't want it to end up in Xia Yu's hands.
"No need. Didn't you make the news last time? The general behind you is quite capable. His intervention would definitely be effective."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Ang reluctantly called the general. The general knew what he was about to do the poop just by looking at him with his butt sticking out.
"It's easy to talk to them. I'll talk to their leader later, and they should still give me the noodles."
They didn't make any demands, but Gao Ang still honestly made a promise: "I'll take some time to optimize the robot and see if I can add some light weapons to it."
You have to eat one bite at a time. Even if you could just throw a missile at a robot, Gao Feng couldn't just design it out of thin air.
...
Back at Bureau 303, Xia Yu and Xu Qing received orders from their top superiors: to hand over the items seized in Qingshan Province to Gao Ang intact.
"Captain, why is this kid going back on his word?"
Xu Qing was furious and berated Gao Feng mercilessly. She pulled out her phone to unleash a torrent of abuse, but was told that the other party could not be reached...
"This guy blocked me???!!"
Xu Qing stared at her phone, practically bursting with rage.
Xia Yu rubbed his forehead, feeling that things were a bit tricky, or rather, not developing in the direction he had initially expected.
