What's wrong with me, an online ride-hailing driver, who has a lot of money? Chapter 176 Unambitious Second Shareholders Are Not Good Second Shareholders
Chapter 176 Unambitious Second Shareholders Are Not Good Second Shareholders
After leaving Jiading North District, Yang Chen found a place to park and looked at Mr. Liu’s information.
His name is Liu Changxi, he has a junior high school education, and he had been working as an apprentice at Qianli Driving Company.
But he was unsatisfied with the status quo and often told his colleagues that he would be a big boss in the future. The boss couldn't stand his demagoguery, so he drove him away.
Later, he was deceived into a pyramid scheme and was almost beaten to death.
After being rescued by the police, he stayed honest for a while, went to work in the industry and met a divorced young woman, and the two got married.
But the young woman was not someone who could live her life peacefully, and she divorced him after she got over the novelty.
Later he joined the company of fellow countryman Liu Changgui.
Liu Changgui's company is called Changgui Entrepreneurship Consulting Co., Ltd. In name, it provides advice to those who want to start a business, but in fact it deceives people into joining their company, and then uses the tricks taught by the company to defraud other people's investment. p>
Liu Changxi once worked in an MLM organization, and this kind of job was tailor-made for him. Soon he built a drinking water project, and relied on this project to defraud many people of their investments.
Logically speaking, this group of people is indeed a fraud, using an impossible business plan to deceive people who are not smart enough to invest.
From a legal point of view, this group of people is legal. They have complete procedures, have products, and are really trying to promote them. I really can't find any legal problems.
But anyone with a right mind can see that his plan cannot succeed.
"If we rent water dispensers in office buildings across the country, each water dispenser will only make 1 yuan a day. The total profit nationwide will be at least 10 million."
What the hell is this if not lying to fools?
But some people believe this and actually invest their money.
But even if this model has obvious loopholes, there is nothing anyone can do about it.
After all, no one dares to say that the investment they make will be successful, and investors cannot ask for a return of investment just because it is unsuccessful, unless there is an agreement between the two parties.
Nor can the law punish him just because he failed.
If this is the case, many business leaders will go to jail because they don’t know how many projects they will fail.
Yang Chen had seen the agreement signed by Liu Changxi and the Wuxing girl, and couldn't find fault with him at all. Once the investment failed, or failed to achieve the expected goal, the girl would have to admit that she was unlucky.
To put it bluntly, Liu Changxi and his gang are just taking advantage of loopholes to make money from fools.
Yang Chen called Zhang Xiang, told him Liu Changxi's information in detail, and asked him if he had any way to deal with this kind of liar.
Zhang Xiang's view is the same as Yang Chen's. On the surface, Liu Changxi and others are not breaking the law.
But normal people can see that this is actually a kind of fraud, so Zhang Xiang thinks there is still a chance to find out the flaw.
However, this requires one of your own to test Liu Changxi in person, listen to how Liu Changxi deceives people into investing in him, and then find flaws based on what he said.
If we start purely from aspects such as agreements, there will definitely be nothing we can do against them.
In fact, to put it simply, Zhang Xiang feels that if Liu Changxi wants to trick people into investing, he will definitely give a very certain and clear goal as a temptation during the conversation between the two parties, otherwise no one will easily invest in him.
But when signing the agreement, he deliberately described these affirmative and clear commitments as explanations, so that he could take advantage of legal loopholes and make the defrauded investors suffer.
Now as long as you find someone to contact Liu Changxi and record or film his deception, Zhang Xiang will definitely be able to find a breakthrough with his ability.
Find someone to be deceived by Liu Changxi on purpose?
Hmm?
This method does work.
But who to look for?
This person must be innocent enough. The more innocent he looks, the better.
At this time, Zhao Yun sent a message to Yang Chen.
"Sister Yang, are you free? Come pick me up. I want to go to the hospital to see Teacher Wang. She will go to the hospital for a review today."
Huh?
Isn’t this person here?
Yang Chen: "Okay, I'll go over now."
Half an hour later, Yang Chen met Zhao Yun at the gate of Normal University and took her to Longmei Hospital.
Zhao Yun chatted with Teacher Wang for more than ten minutes, and then quickly came out to find Yang Chen.
"I won't pay you the fare. I'll treat you to a meal. How about it?" Zhao Yun asked.
Yang Chen: "Let me treat you to dinner, I need your help with something."
Zhao Yun: "What's the matter? I've always wanted to help you, but I've never had the chance. Now it's rare that you take the initiative to ask me to help, which is a chance for me. It's always you who helps me, and I feel really bad about it." p>
Yang Chen: "Haha... let's go eat and talk while eating. Just pick whatever you want to eat."
Zhao Yun: "Well, whatever. If you're not picky, let's go find a clean restaurant opposite to eat."
Yang Chen: "Okay! Let's go."
The two of them came to the opposite side, found a relatively clean restaurant and went in.
The waiter brought the menu to Yang Chen and Zhao Yun. When they were looking at the menu, the waiter suggested: "Boss, the store just brought some fresh pure wild grouper. It's super cheap, 100 yuan per pound.
Do you want to try it?"
If you buy wild grouper at the wet market, if the size is better and the quality is better, it will cost more than 100 pounds per pound, or even more expensive.
This restaurant only sells it for 100 per catty, and it’s well-made, so it’s really cheap.
"Beauty, don't lie to us just because we are plainly dressed. Pure wild grouper, ready for 100 yuan per catty?" Yang Chen asked.
The waiter smiled and replied: "Of course. We have special channels, and the purchase price is relatively low. It is absolutely pure wild, and it is the same variety as those in some high-end hotels. For example, the Peninsula Hotel, Baoqing Hotel, and Haicheng Hotel.
”
If Yang Chen remembers correctly, the price of pure wild grouper at Baoqing Hotel is 258 per catty, and the price at Peninsula Hotel is 298 per catty.
If what the waiter said is not a lie, doesn’t it mean that the purchase price of Baoqing Hotel and Peninsula Hotel is too high?
"Beauty, I have tasted what wild grouper tastes like. If you lie to me, I will call the police and arrest you!" Yang Chen threatened.
The waiter replied confidently: "No problem, if it's not pure wild grouper, I'll accept whatever you want."
Yang Chen: "Handsome! Wouldn't it be silly not to take advantage of such a huge advantage? Then have a share."
Waiter: "Okay. Do you want that wave dragon? It's also 100 yuan per catty."
Yang Chen: "It's also purely wild?"
Waiter: "Of course. We don't sell farmed products, all are purely wild, with high nutritional value and delicious meat."
Yang Chen: "Then get one, it's really much cheaper."
The waiter thought it was almost done, so he stopped recommending dishes to Yang Chen and Zhao Yun.
The two of them casually shared a few side dishes, and the meal was already ordered.
After a while, the waiter served the food.
Yang Chen didn't show politeness to Zhao Yun, he just picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
He wanted to try to see if it was farmed or wild. This time, hey, it was really wild.
The taste of wild grouper is obviously more delicious than that of farmed ones, and people who eat it regularly can feel the difference.
The price of vegetables in restaurants is generally 2-3 times the cost price, which means that when restaurants purchase wild grouper, the price is about 30-40 per pound, which is the price of farmed grouper.
I purchased wild grouper at the same price as farmed grouper. What a bargain!
If we could find such suppliers for Baoqing Hotel and Peninsula Hotel, wouldn't it mean that these two hotels would make more money?
As a shareholder, Yang Chen, wouldn’t the dividend at the end of the year be even greater?
Yang Chen usually doesn't interfere in company management, so he just hopes to get more dividends at the end of the year.
When they were almost done eating, Yang Chen and Zhao Yun got down to business.
"Look at this person's information and then chat after reading it." Yang Chen said.
Zhao Yun nodded and read Liu Changxi's information carefully.
Then she asked: "What does Sister Yang want me to do?"
Yang Chen: "I want you to deliberately fall into his trap and secretly photograph and record the communication process between you and him. You have to consciously let him promise you that he can make 10 million a day. Do you understand what I mean?
”
Zhao Yun: "Oh, I understand. Isn't this fishing law enforcement?"
Yang Chen: "Haha... It's not that serious. They are a fraud gang that takes advantage of legal loopholes to deceive fools with impossible business goals. Originally I didn't want to ask, but this person scolded me so badly. If I didn't
Sending him to jail makes me feel uncomfortable!"
Zhao Yun: "He scolded you? OK! Leave this matter to me, and I will definitely handle it beautifully."
Yang Chen nodded and said: "I believe in your ability. Give me an account and I will ask someone to transfer 100,000 yuan to you. You can use this 100,000 yuan as bait."
Zhao Yun nodded and took out her bank card from her bag.
Yang Chen took a photo and sent it to Yu Shishi, asking her to transfer 100,000 yuan to this card tomorrow.
After finishing the meal, Yang Chen came to the cashier to pay and asked in a low voice: "Boss Boss, your grouper and lobster are good. I want to buy a batch to take home and raise for food. Can you give me some advice?"
The landlady smiled and replied: "Handsome man, come over whenever you want to eat, and I'll ask the chef to cook it for you."
Yang Chen: "I live over at the Pearl Tower, which is far away from here. I just came to see a patient today, and happened to have a meal here. I would definitely not come here normally. My brother also owns a restaurant, and usually
It’s farmed grouper. If we can provide customers with wild grouper at farmed prices like you do here, the business will definitely be better. The boss lady can help set up a line, thank you.”
The proprietress was hesitant, and it could be seen from her reaction that the fish probably didn't come from a clean source.
But just now the waiter clearly mentioned Baoqing Hotel and Peninsula Hotel, and Yang Chen couldn't help but want to find out where the source of the goods was.
When paying, Yang Chen deliberately entered a wrong number and gave him an extra 2,000 yuan.
"Oops, I pressed the wrong number." Yang Chen said.
The landlady quickly checked and found out that she was indeed given an extra 2,000 yuan.
She quickly said: "It's okay, add me as a friend and I'll forward it to you."
Yang Chen: "I've already transferred it, so the boss lady can just keep it. However, I still want the boss lady to help me set up a line. Okay?"
The landlady rolled her eyes helplessly and said: "Handsome guy, you are so thoughtful. Okay, I'll give you a number and you can contact me yourself. It's up to you whether he wants to see you and whether he can give you goods."
”
Yang Chen: "Okay! The boss lady is kind-hearted and a good person."
The landlady looked for a number with a smile, Yang Chen quickly wrote it down, and then left with Zhao Yun.
Candid photography and recording require professional equipment, so Yang Chen took Zhao Yun to find Zhang Xiang and asked him to provide him with a set of equipment.
Because I am worried that Zhao Yun will not be able to produce the necessary evidence, and I am also worried that she will make mistakes.
Zhang Xiang also specially taught her some skills and precautions.
After being fully prepared, Yang Chen sent Zhao Yun back to school.
Liu Changxi especially likes to hunt for prey near university towns because he feels that students without social experience are easy to deceive.
What Zhao Yun has to do is to appear in front of him deliberately and become his prey.
However, this kind of thing needs to be allowed to take its course, so that it looks realistic.
Therefore, there is no standard for whether Liu Changxi will take the bait and when he will take the bait. We can only wait slowly.
Yang Chen called the boss who sold cheap grouper and expressed his intention straight to the point.
The boss was very cautious and didn't want to come out to meet Yang Chen directly. He needed Yang Chen to report the hotel address, and he would decide whether to supply the goods after investigating.
You could tell at a glance that something was wrong, so Yang Chen thought about it and decided not to give it up.
Peninsula Hotel is a listed company, and Baoqing Hotel is also planning to go public. If the supplier is unclear and sneaky, sooner or later there will be big trouble.
Therefore, Yang Chen said: "It seems that the boss's goods are not too bright. Forget it, I won't cause trouble for my brother. I'm sorry to bother you."
The other party immediately replied: "Haha... don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with the goods. It's just that the goods are too small and I can't supply too many customers. And the price I gave is too cheap. If I am too high-profile and my peers find out, they will definitely kill me."
It’s very difficult to do business now. You have to follow the market trend. If you want to do business alone, you will definitely touch the interests of others, and they will definitely join forces to do it for you.”
Yang Chen: "Haha... I'll think about it again. If I can accept it, I'll contact you again."
After saying that, Yang Chen hung up the phone.
As long as you are doing serious business, there is absolutely no need to be like this. Yang Chen concluded that his goods came from improper sources.
……
Early on Sunday morning, Li Xiaofei sent a message to Yang Chen.
"Dear brother, I want to have a big dinner with you, but I don't want to go all the way to your house. What do you think I should do?"
Yang Chen couldn't help laughing and replied: "I'm going to get out of the car now and consciously go to the University Town. You go to the Baoqing Hotel in the University Town around 11:30 to order food and wait for me. Order whatever you want, don't follow
Brother, you're polite. Besides, it's getting cold. Brother bought you two sets of clothes a while ago, so I'll take them with you."
Li Xiaofei: Hee hee...Brother, are my cousin and cousin legally allowed to get married?
Yang Chen rolled his eyes and replied: I don’t think my aunt needs to break your legs, I can personally send you to the orthopedics department.
Li Xiaofei: Hehe... This is my blind spot in knowledge. I'm just asking you for advice. Why do you want to break my legs? You're cruel! See you at noon!
Yang Chen smiled and went out to solicit customers.
When it was almost eleven o'clock, Yang Chen picked an order heading towards the university town, and happened to pass by on the way.
Yang Chen: "Please fasten your seat belt, we are leaving for the university town now!"
The two passengers behind, a man and a woman, fastened their seat belts and started chatting.
Female passenger: "Mr. Zhang, you are very profitable as a purchasing manager. You bought one set last year and now you want to buy another one."
Male passenger: "It's okay. As for purchasing, anything you know how to do is more profitable."
Female passenger: "Yes, your Baoqing Hotel is about to go on the market. The daily purchase volume must be very large, and there are many suppliers. It's enough to show a little respect to each company. I really envy Mr. Zhang for finding such a good job, but I just don't have it."
Culture can only be used as an intermediary. It comes and goes, and you may not necessarily be able to close a deal in a month."
Male passenger: "Haha... I think you are quite smart. If you don't want to be an intermediary in the future, you can come to me and try to be an ordinary buyer. I'm here to take you with you."
Female passenger: "That's true! Hehe... Then I'll take it seriously. Thank you Mr. Zhang first. Your Baoqing Hotel is so big, the competition must be fierce. Can I, a halfway monk, get in? I won't give it to Zhang."
It always brings some trouble, right?"
Male passenger: "It will definitely be a bit troublesome, but it's not impossible. My brother-in-law is Li Baoqing, the major shareholder. With his relationship, it's easy for me to arrange for someone to join the purchasing department. Let's talk about it then. You really need to talk about it.
”
Female passenger: "Wow, no wonder Mr. Zhang can hold such an important position. It turns out that the boss of Baoqing Hotel is your brother-in-law. That's it, it's settled. I'll quit after I finish your order and get the promotion."
, go and help Mr. Zhang. Do you think it’s okay?”
The male passenger showed a lewd smile and said: "I don't have to look at you if it's okay. Let's talk about it later."
Haha...
An unspoken plan begins.
It is obviously inappropriate for Li Baoqing's brother-in-law to be the purchasing manager of Baoqing Hotel.
Such an important position must be filled by outsiders.
Yang Chen doesn't know much about the salary system of Baoqing Hotel, but a purchasing manager wouldn't have bought a suite at the end of last year and then be able to buy another suite 10 months later, right?
He'd be damned if he didn't do something illegal.
Yang Chen asked with a smile: "Boss, do you make so much money as a purchasing manager? I bought a house last year, and this year is not over yet, so I can buy a house again. I am an online car-hailing business, and I probably won't be able to afford one in Haicheng in my lifetime.
House."
The male passenger immediately straightened up his back confidently and said, "It's definitely not possible with a decent salary. I only earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, so I definitely can't buy a house. But when it comes to purchasing, the good thing is that the suppliers will try their best to give you benefits.
Do you know what I mean? The most comfortable position in a company is purchasing. The salary is basically the same, the cigarettes and alcohol are basically given away, and the wife is basically free.”
Yang Chen: "Haha... Brother, what you said makes sense. It's a pity that I also suffered the loss of being uneducated, otherwise I would have wanted to find a purchasing job."
Male passenger: "Not every company's procurement is so smooth. It must be a company of similar size, with a large enough purchase volume and enough suppliers. And this also requires methods. If you are not careful, you may get yourself into it."
.So, even if you make purchases, I’m sure you won’t make much money.”
Yang Chen: "Oh? Is there something special about this?"
Male passenger: "Of course! You are more particular. Okay, just drive hard. There is no hope of doing shopping in this life."
Yang Chen: "Haha... That's right. I just feel a little bored. I just want to find some topic to talk about. Then I won't talk anymore. You guys can chat."
Now it is certain that Manager Zhang must have received kickbacks from the supplier.
If the supplier wants to make money, he must also give him a kickback, which shows that there is still a lot of room for compression in the price offered by the supplier, which means that the purchase price of Baoqing Hotel is high, which is harming the company's interests.
As the second shareholder of Baoqing Hotel, Yang Chen must intervene, after all, it is his vital interests that are being violated.
Soon, Yang Chen sent the two people to a real estate in the university town, and then went straight to Baoqing Hotel.
Li Xiaofei has already ordered the food, and Yang Chen will serve it as soon as he arrives.
"Hehe... I don't know what to eat. The waiter recommended me grouper, lobster and so on. I want it. Do you feel bad?" Li Xiaofei asked.
Yang Chen: "That's a good order. I'm just wondering about the taste of the grouper and wavefish here."
After saying that, Yang Chen picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
After taking three bites, Yang Chen frowned.
This taste is obviously wrong, it must be farmed.
Baoqing Hotel does not sell farmed grouper and lobster, what a big problem!
Yang Chen called the waiter in and asked: "Beauty, are your groupers, lobsters, etc. all purely wild?"
Waiter: "Yes, sir. All the aquatic products in our Baoqing Hotel are purely wild and pollution-free. You can eat them with confidence."
Yang Chen took a breath, nodded with a smile, and said: "Okay! I understand. Thank you. Go out and call you if necessary."
The waiter nodded, turned around and went out.
Li Xiaofei saw that Yang Chen's face was not good-looking and asked: "Cousin, what's wrong? Are these things wrong?"
Yang Chen: "These are not wild at all."
Li Xiaofei slammed the table angrily and stood up, saying: "I'll go find them!"
Yang Chen grabbed her and said: "Don't alarm the snake yet, just eat it. I'll discuss it with the shareholders later and decide what to do."
Li Xiaofei nodded, then suddenly understood something again, and asked in surprise: "Cousin, what do you mean? You also have shares in Baoqing Hotel?"
Yang Chen nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes! I had nothing to do, so I bought some shares and accidentally became the second largest shareholder."
Li Xiaofei: "..."
I accidentally became a second shareholder, how can I say this?
"Cousin, you are really amazing. The Peninsula Hotel has your shares, and the Baoqing Hotel also has your shares, so aren't you very rich now?" Li Xiaofei asked...
Yang Chen: "A little bit. So, you have to study hard. After you graduate, you can help your brother manage the company. If you are not good at studying, I will not dare to hand over the company to you to manage."
Li Xiaofei: "Hehe... Please rest assured, my cousin, my boss. My cousin will definitely learn the skills well and I will definitely satisfy my cousin and boss."
Hmm?
Why does this sound so awkward?
Now it is basically certain that Li Baoqing's brother-in-law Zhang Jun tampered with the purchase. Not only did he receive kickbacks, but he also replaced wild groupers with farmed ones, passing them off as good ones.
Farmed grouper costs 30 per catty, while wild and cheap ones cost 80 per catty. The price difference is huge. No wonder this guy can buy two houses so quickly.
Yang Chen even suspected that the grouper, lobster, etc. in the restaurant opposite the hospital were all sold out of Baoqing Hotel. Otherwise, how could the waiter say that the goods were from the same channel as Baoqing Hotel?
The founder of Baoqing Restaurant is Li Baoqing. As mentioned before, this guy’s family history was not glorious in his early years, and he is the kind of person who has whitewashed his family.
Li Baoqing currently holds 35% of the shares, and his wife Zhang Juan holds 16%. The two are persons acting in concert, holding a total of 51% of the shares, and are the controlling shareholders of Baoqing Hotel.
Yang Chen holds 32% of the shares, and the remaining 17% is distributed to 5 other investors.
If Li Baoqing and Zhang Juan were on business, this matter would be easier to solve.
If they protect the calf, then Yang Chen can't be polite to them.
Again, Yang Chen can ignore the daily operations and management of the companies he invests in, but no one can infringe on his interests. If anyone infringes on his interests, even if it is a proposal from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, he will still vote against it.
Zhang Jun bought two houses in less than a year, and his partners must have made a lot of money. 32% of the money belongs to Yang Chen.
Matt, how can you give them a free advantage in vain?
Check!
Must find out!
If Li Baoqing and Zhang Juan follow the rules, then they will act according to the rules.
If they don't follow the rules, then they will be forced to sell their shares and leave!
Baoqing Hotel can be named Li or Yang!
……
After eating, Yang Chen sent Li Xiaofei back to school.
Then he logged into his Beep account and received an order back to the city.
Coincidentally, it was Zhang Jun who brought the female intermediary again.
Yang Chen: "Wow, you two, what a coincidence."
Zhang Jun: "That's right. Brother, aren't you waiting for us?"
Yang Chen: "Haha... My cousin is studying at the University of Finance and Economics. This weekend, I will come over and take her out to have a good meal. The food in the school is not good, and I am afraid that she will starve and lose weight."
Zhang Jun: "Haha...that's it. No matter what, we are destined."
Yang Chen: "Haha... yes, we are destined."
It is indeed fate, otherwise I would have been cheated out of my dividends by you.
At this time, the fish seller called Yang Chen.
Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then pressed the speaker phone.
Yang Chen: "Hello, hello."
Fish seller: "Boss, what do you say? Does your brother's restaurant need grouper and lobster?"
Zhang Jun in the back row was stunned when he heard the voice. Isn't this his brother Chen Chen?
The two brothers have a clear division of labor.
Give an example.
Now Zhang Jun is purchasing 100 wild groupers in the name of Baoqing Hotel. After these fish are purchased at the headquarters, they will be redistributed according to the needs of each store.
At this time, Chen Chen will purchase and deliver 50 farmed groupers, and use these 50 farmed groupers to package 50 wild groupers.
In this way, the groupers assigned to each store are either real or fake.
When the store conducts random inspections, it will specially inspect the pure wild grouper that has been marked.
Chen Chen is responsible for distributing the subcontracted wild grouper to restaurants of all sizes across the city at a price of about 100 yuan.
Assume that the purchase price of wild grouper is 100 yuan per catty and the purchase price of farmed grouper is 30 yuan per catty. There is a price difference of 70 yuan.
70 yuan per catty, what about ten thousand catties?
There is such a big price difference for grouper alone, but what about lobster and other products?
Adding up these price differences, it would not be difficult for Zhang Jun to buy two houses a year.
Yang Chen: "Yes! We are worried that your goods may not come from the right way, and it will be bad if you cause us trouble."
Chen Chen: "Haha... don't worry! Our goods come from the right source, there is absolutely no problem. Why don't you tell me where your brother's restaurant is, and I'll go over there tonight and we can chat in person."
Yang Chen: "Okay! At 11 o'clock in the evening, Dongyuan Restaurant on Binjiang Road. Let's meet and chat."
Yang Chen hung up the phone and said with a smile: "Boy, I'm sorry, I didn't know the call would come. And this call is quite important, so I answered it."
Now it's Zhang Jun's turn to test Yang Chen. After all, this is related to his safety.
