() If Shenglong Group’s cash flow had not been cut off, Shenglong International Flower City would not have been sold at such a low price when the overall construction was basically completed. After Lu Xiaobu took over, he would also finish the unfinished water and electricity facilities. Done.
As long as everything goes well, the community will be available for public sale in the form of existing houses in two months, and the funds will be withdrawn within half a year at most. A sudden fire at this time will not only greatly affect the progress, but also be an unlucky thing.
The safety management department needs to investigate the fire, the fire department needs to re-examine the fire protection facilities of the community, and many things have to be overturned. In addition to these, home buyers will inevitably reconsider. If a fire breaks out before they even buy a house, they will have to re-examine it. Is it okay to actually live in it?... .
When Ye Li rushed to Shenglong International Flower Capital with Yuan Lin and Shen Ruoning, Lu Xiaobu was sitting in the sales department hall with red eyes, looking very haggard.
"Yi Zi, have you seen the news?"
We haven't seen each other for a while. Lu Xiaobu has obviously lost a lot of weight. He smiled self-deprecatingly, his eyes were very helpless, "I don't know, there are so many fires in Jiangnan City, why they only reported them here."
Before coming in, Ye Li had already heard about the fire. It was this three-story building that caught fire. "Are there any casualties?"
Lu Xiaobu shook his head, "It's just that all the paper materials in the reference room on the third floor were burned."
The sales department is a temporary building. The first and second floors are miniature models of various types of houses in the community. The third floor is the office area and information room. When all the houses in the community are sold out, this place will be demolished. It will be demolished in the future. As a landscape square, it is not very important...
The scope of the fire was small, but the impact was huge. After the community's certification documents and building sales qualification approval were burned, they had to be applied for again, and it took ten days and a half to complete them all.
"The materials can be replenished, as long as there are no casualties."
Ye Li patted the dejected Lu Xiaobu on the shoulder. The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing. Every staff member had a look of fear and uneasiness on their faces. The sales ladies gathered together with pale faces. There was no one to serve tea.
Lu Xiaobu sighed. "Oh, the loss is not big, but the sales date will be postponed again. Ye Zi, please tell your friend."
Ye Li nodded and looked at the stair handrail that was blackened by the fire, "The fire was quite big yesterday. Why was the stair handrail even burned?"
"Who knows. This fire is very strange. Except for the reference room and the stairs, everything else is fine."
Anyone who encountered this kind of thing would be confused. Lu Xiaobu had just finished the inspection and before he had time to inspect the scene, he followed Ye Li towards the stairs. "The police came just now and said that the fire may be caused by aging wires." of."
"Old wires?"
Shenglong International Flower Town is a newly built community. The sales department was built less than a month ago. Everything should be brand new. How could there be a problem of aging electricity? Is someone cutting corners?
Lu Xiaobu said with a sad face, "I also find it strange. Before the acquisition, I entrusted someone to appraise the quality of the building and consumables in the community. They all met safety standards. The wires used in this building were all national standard products. I have personally inspected and accepted it, and there is absolutely no aging problem.”
That was strange. Ye Li slowly walked up the stairs and gently touched the dark staircase handrail. As soon as he touched it, the handrail peeled off in large pieces.
In addition to the charred wooden handrails, the iron railings exposed at the stairs also showed signs of being burned by high temperatures, and there were even signs of melting in some places. This was definitely not an ordinary fire.
Ye Li frowned and said, "Xiao Bu, take me to the reference room to have a look."
The reference room on the third floor was in a mess at the moment. All the paper materials inside were burned to the ground. There were even cracks in the walls in several places, and the smell of burning was overwhelming.
Lu Xiaobu looked at the fire scene sadly, his eyes were red, "When we rushed over last night, everything had been burned, and it took a lot of effort to put out the fire."
While countless freshly graduated college students were still worrying about finding a job, Lu Xiaobu already had 1.8 billion in cash and launched the largest acquisition in Jiangnan City after the New Year. At that time, this news was even broadcast on Jiangnan Satellite TV
, has become a topic that countless citizens talk about.
Lu Xiaobu spent countless efforts here. It can be said that Shenglong International Flower City is everything to him. He can only succeed but not fail. Seeing that the real estate in the community is about to go on sale, something like this suddenly happened. How could he not let him
Heartbroken.
This was not just a fire in the data room, it was a safety incident that affected sales.
Ye Li leaned down, picked up a burned and deformed iron rod from the ruins, and looked at it carefully, "Xiao Bu, did the security here notice anything unusual last night?"
Lu Xiaobu frowned and thought for a while, "Yes, last night the security guard felt that there seemed to be an explosion here, and there was a slight shaking on the ground. However, after the police came to investigate, he thought it was just his illusion. Wait a minute, I will try again.
Call him up."
After a while, the security guard ran up panting, "Mr. Lu, are you looking for me?"
Lu Xiaobu nodded, "Old Huang, tell me again what you saw last night."
According to the security guard's description, at around 11 o'clock last night, he was patrolling in the community when he suddenly heard a loud noise and the ground seemed to be shaking. Then there was billowing smoke. When he arrived,
A fire has broken out.
"Mr. Lu, I swear to God, there is absolutely not a single lie in what I said."
Security guard Lao Huang is an honest and honest middle-aged man. He was asked countless times about what happened last night. He thought Lu Xiaobu didn't believe him, so he was sweating profusely.
After investigation, the police found no traces of explosion. Everything was intact. It seemed that this was just an ordinary fire.
But Ye Li didn't think so. There were only some paper documents in this data room, so it was impossible to cause such a big fire. There must be something hidden in this, "Old Huang, did you see any suspicious behavior when you were patrolling last night?"
Do people enter the community or leave from here?”
Lao Huang recalled it carefully and shook his head firmly, "No, when it happened. I was nearby and rushed over when I heard the explosion. The glass door downstairs was still locked at that time."
Lu Xiaobu was startled and asked hesitantly, "Zi Zi, are you saying someone deliberately set the fire?"
The sales department was a small building with only one entrance and exit, the lobby. The door was locked. If someone set fire to it, they would definitely not be able to enter and exit openly. Ye Li turned his attention to the window.
The glass of the window was shattered. The aluminum alloy window frame was also deformed due to the fire. This was the only entrance. Lu Xiaobu walked to the window and looked down, "It's so high. Who dares to jump?"
The sales hall is already half the height of a normal room. The windows on the third floor are at least nine meters above the ground. If someone deliberately set a fire, it would be impossible for him to jump in silently without being discovered.
Ye Li didn't think so. There were too many capable people and strangers in this world. Nine meters was nothing. He turned his gaze and looked at the information rack that was burned to ashes. "Xiaobu, what information do you usually put here?"
Are there no more confidential documents?"
"They are just some certification documents for the community, such as property sales certificates. It is of no use to others if they get them." Lu Xiaobu shook his head. These documents had no commercial value. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly exclaimed, "What's the matter?"
There is a proof of investment.”
"What proof of investment?"
Lu Xiaobu took away Lao Huang and said hurriedly, "It is the asset division statement for purchasing the property rights of the community. It records the source of funds for my acquisition."
"Why did you keep that thing?"
"When the funds are withdrawn in the future, we will get a rebate based on the amount of investment." Lu Xiaobu was sweating profusely. "It's over. I have the names of several friends in my 100 million miles. The person who set the fire probably came here for this.
.”
When acquiring Shenglong International Flower Capital, Ye Li took out 1.7 billion in the name of a friend's investment. The remaining 100 million, apart from the start-up capital provided by Lu Xiaobu's family, should be mortgaged from the bank.
However, Lu Xiaobu didn't do that. In order to save the high bank interest and to build connections, he scraped together the money.
"Brothers also need to settle accounts clearly. The property is about to be sold. I have marked out the shares of each investor. The future income will be distributed according to the amount of investment. Others have already signed. Your friend's
I'm about to ask you to sign it on my behalf, who knew this would happen."
Ye Li asked suspiciously, "Is this nothing? Is it very confidential?"
Lu Xiaobu frowned and complained, "The key is that the names of my friends cannot be exposed."
"Why?"
"Uh, um..." Lu Xiaobu hesitated and hesitated for a long time without answering.
"If it's not convenient for you, forget it." Ye Li turned around and was about to go downstairs, but was pulled back by Lu Xiaobu.
"They are all people with some backgrounds. If anyone knows about it, their families will be involved," Lu Xiaobu said in a low voice for fear that Ye Li wouldn't believe it, "Chang Chong is also the investor."
The mayor's son?
Ye Li still vaguely remembered that guy, but how did Lu Xiaobu get involved with him?
Lu Xiaobu coughed lightly, "They paid, and I give them some benefits, so that all kinds of documents can be approved faster."
It turned out that this was what happened. Ye Li looked at him sideways and said, "Xiao Bu, you really look like that. You have started playing this trick so quickly. Are you ready to aspire to be a black-hearted businessman?"
Lu Xiaobu smiled awkwardly, "Yi Zi, there's nothing I can do about it. The building quality of the community is fine, and all the procedures are in place. However, if I don't do this, someone will deliberately make things difficult. In fact, this is also the Holy Dragon."
I can't help but continue the mess left by the group."
If you haven't been in this circle, you will never know what's going on here. Needless to say, Ye Li can also guess that these young men must have contributed a lot of money, and the amount will definitely make their father the target of an anti-corruption investigation.
In this way, the name and the corresponding amount listed in the investment certificate are really a secret that cannot be leaked.
Once this secret is leaked, not only those young masters may be ruined, but even Lu Xiaobu may be imprisoned. Ye Li sighed, "Who is your biggest competitor when acquiring this community?"
The loser in the competition is indeed the most suspicious. Lu Xiaobu was stunned for a moment and said, "It was the Huangfu family. The one who participated in the competition was Huangfu Xuan, but his bid was not higher than mine."
The Huangfu family is not only the richest man in Jiangnan Province, but also famous in the national rich list. Their industries span the country, and real estate is one of them. As Shenglong International Flower City is a profitable project, it is not surprising that they are involved.
Ye Li carefully observed the ruined data room, "This fire should be aimed at this list. Don't worry too much, they may not succeed yet."
After hearing the first half of the words, Lu Xiaobu's face instantly turned pale. When he heard the second half, he suppressed the fear in his heart and asked in confusion, "How do you know they may not have succeeded?"
Ye Li shook the iron rod in his hand, "If they succeed, just burn this place down. There is no need to make such a big noise. If my guess is correct, more than one person entered this data room last night.
.”
Lu Xiaobu was completely stunned and stood there blankly.
Ye Li had every reason to prove that last night, there was not a fire at all, but a battle. Nearly ten hours had passed since the fire, and there was still an extremely active fire element in this data room.
This shows that there was a person with the ability to control flames who appeared here at that time. He had a fierce battle with a powerful person. The flames not only turned all the information into ashes, but even rushed out of the room and followed it.
Corridor burned stair handrail.
In addition, the iron rod in his hand was by no means something that originally existed in the room, but some kind of weapon. The sharp end was melted by the flames, and it took its current form.
The only thing that cannot be confirmed is what the purpose of these two intruders is. Did the Huangfu family use superpowers to steal the investment list? It's too big a fuss.
Ye Li continued to search in the ruins, and suddenly a small pool of blood came into his eyes.
This pool of blood should have been left at the end of the battle, otherwise it would have been evaporated by the flames. In this case, one of the people was injured, and it was most likely the person using superpowers.
"Xiao Bu, no matter what the purpose of the intruder is, just pretend that nothing happened, refund all the money of your friends, and destroy all the evidence. If anyone contacts you during this period, please notify me as soon as possible.
.”
If the investment certificate falls into the hands of others, they will definitely use it to threaten them. Following this clue, they may be able to find these people. If the investment certificate is destroyed by the fire, that would be even better, Lu Xiaobuhua
Spend some money to renovate this place and replenish the materials that need to be repaired. It will have almost no impact.
Lu Xiaobu nodded, hesitated for a while, and then said, "However, there is a shortfall of nearly 70 million, and I can't come up with so much money now."
"I'll take care of it."
Help people to the end, send Buddha to the west, Lu Xiaobu is his best friend, Ye Li can't just watch him get into trouble without lending a helping hand.
