He looked at me and was silent for a while, then finally said: "Someone asked me to do this, and he gave me a sum of money."
"Who? What's your name? Male or female?" I continued to ask.
"A woman, I don't know her name, she just gave me a sum of money and asked me to do this."
"How much did I give you?"
He hesitated for a moment before saying: "One hundred thousand."
It seems that this is really not an ordinary person! How can an ordinary person spend a hundred thousand dollars?
"Are you sure it's a woman?"
"She's a girl. She's pretty good-looking."
"Is he someone from our Yalan Clothing Company?"
"I don't know this anymore. Anyway, I've said everything I need to say. Can you really let me go?"
I was silent for a while and then said to him: "Can you describe her appearance to me?"
"Well... she's quite good-looking. She's a pretty young girl, probably in her twenties. Her eyes are quite big, and she's probably a head shorter than you."
Her description was even more vague to me, and I couldn't describe it at all.
I guess the other party was also prepared, so I didn’t say much to him about the situation.
He is just being used by others, and there is no use for me to find him.
I stood up and said to him: "Okay, I will let you out after going through the process, that's it!"
When I was about to leave, he stopped me: "Brother, I'm sorry! I..."
I smiled at him, waved my hand and said, "Remember, don't do this kind of thing again in the future, it will have a bad impact on your children."
He lowered his head and said "hmm" softly.
After giving the lawyer a few explanations, Gao Sheng and I left the police station together.
When we got back to the car, Gao Sheng asked me: "How is the situation? Did something happen?"
I shook my head, lit a cigarette and said, "She is said to be a woman, in her twenties, but she can't describe what she looks like."
"More than 20 years old, a woman?"
Gao Sheng was stunned for a moment and said, "There is no such person in the management of our company!"
"Are you sure there isn't?"
"I'm sure not," Gao Sheng nodded very firmly, "The youngest woman in our company's middle-level management and above is already twenty-eight years old."
"Oh, by the way, he also said she is quite beautiful."
"That's even more so. Those women in the management..." Gao Sheng suddenly paused, opened his eyes and said, "Could it be Xiao Siya!"
"Why did you think of her?"
"Isn't she just in her twenties and beautiful..."
"What's the reason? Besides, people say she's almost a head shorter than me. Is Xiao Siya a head shorter than me?"
"That's not the case."
"That's right, it's not her. Besides, Xiao Siya is not in her twenties. She is almost twenty-seven or eighty-years-old!"
"Isn't that an insider of the company?"
"This is not necessarily true, and the other party may not be that stupid. If it were me, I would definitely find someone else to do this kind of thing, and I would definitely not come forward."
"Then this will be difficult! I don't know what the situation is now."
"You can analyze it slowly. Don't worry. You can recall which managers were dissatisfied with the company or had objections to the company during this period. Eliminate them one by one."
As soon as I finished speaking, my cell phone rang.
I took out my phone and saw that it was Chen Dajiang who was far away in Italy.
After I connected, Chen Dajiang said to me: "Brother Feng, I am in the factory here now. I have seen their equipment and materials, including the design drawings."
"How was it?" I asked.
"It's pretty good. These equipments all comply with the latest EU standards, as well as materials. These materials are scarce in our country!"
"Take a photo and let me see it."
"Okay, I just talked with the person in charge here, and he said that not only our family came to see it, but there is also a company in our country, which seems to be called Anrui Clothing."
I was silent for a while and asked: "What kind of trading method is that? Bidding or something like that?"
"It's not clear yet. The person in charge here didn't expect that so many people would come to see it. We are still discussing it, but I guess it will be a bidding method."
"Okay, show me those photos first, and then contact me after they come up with something."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, I received a photo from Chen Dajiang not long after.
These devices are all new at first glance, and some are even in better condition than 95% new. Of course, there are also some devices that are older.
I didn’t know much about the equipment, so I turned to Gao Sheng and asked, “Who is in charge of the factory equipment now?”
"Over there in the production department."
"I'll send you some pictures, and you can let the person who manages the equipment take a look at how the equipment looks like."
Gao Sheng asked me while driving: "Is Chen Dajiang already there?"
"Well, I've already gone to the factory to see it, and it turns out that several companies are vying for spots."
“Are there so many people snatching some old equipment?”
I smiled and said: "Equipment is actually not that important. These things can be purchased. The key is their technical information, design drawings and copyright."
"Do they package all of these and sell them together?"
"That's true, but I guess the price is not low."
"Can the company afford so much money to pay for it now?"
"If you can't afford it, just think of a way. I'm going to mortgage my house and car. Let's go to the bank first and talk about how much money we can borrow."
Gao Sheng was silent for a moment and said with a hint of confusion: "Boss, you only bought your house less than half a year ago. Do we have to fight like this?"
"This is not about fighting, it is about doing this. If we don't strive for development, we will be replaced soon... Dajiang also said just now that there is a company called Anrui Clothing in our country that is also competing for quotas."
"Anrui Clothing...why haven't you heard of it?"
"Look, you don't even know your opponent's company."
Gao Sheng said helplessly: "I've never heard of it. Boss, have you heard of it?"
I really didn’t have one, so I immediately took out my phone to check.
The address of this company is actually in Chengdu, its legal person is Mei Dong, and its registered capital is five million.
To be honest, judging from the registered capital, it is not a very big company. Our current registered capital of Yalan Clothing has reached 70 million.
But being able to go to Italy to compete for such a spot is not an ordinary company, and being able to get this news is extraordinary.
So you still can’t underestimate it!
I said to Gao Sheng: "Let Qiangzi go back and investigate the background of this company! We can't let Dajiang work alone there, we also have to help him."
Gao Sheng nodded, and I said to him: "Okay, take me home, I won't go to the company now."
"Then boss, when are you going to return to the company?"
"Let's wait until Dajiang is settled. I haven't signed the acquisition contract for Tongda Logistics yet. I'll come back after these two things are settled."
After a pause, I said to him again: "Remember, the company will first solve the problem of employee reaction. There is no need to worry about internal management problems. Let Qiangzi check it out."
Gao Sheng nodded, and suddenly said to me with a serious look on his face: "Boss, there is something else that I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
"Come on, why are you hesitating? Is there anything else you can't say to me?"
"It's just...hey! I don't know what to say. Maybe I'm overthinking."
I suddenly had a bad premonition and frowned: "About what?"
