After Xu Wen learned that the backend boss of the loan shark company where Liu Lei worked was Shen Feiyu, he became very interested in Brother Hua of this company. He picked up his wine glass and touched it with Liu Lei and said:
"Tell me about your company and that Brother Hua."
"Hey, what's there to say? As for loan shark companies, what attracts people's attention is nothing more than high-interest loans and violent debt collection. Of course, violent debt collection is only a small part, otherwise we people would be exhausted." Liu Lei said nonchalantly.
"What is the name of your company?"
When Liu Lei heard Xu Wen ask this, he showed a confident smile on his face, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xu Wen and said:
"Brother, if you need money urgently, just give me a call, and I promise to release the money within one day."
Xu Wen took the business card and looked at it. It read: Zhongjiang Chengxin Financial Services Co., Ltd., Credit Manager Liu Lei.
"Haha, what kind of manager you are? You just stand up for others and show off your authority." Liu Lei waved his hand and laughed at himself:
"However, if you can really get business, you can also earn some commission."
"Shen Feiyu is engaged in real estate, so he must be short of money. How can he have money to engage in loan sharking?" Xu Wen asked in confusion.
"You don't know this, right?" Liu Lei looked around again before saying:
"They lend money from banks at low interest rates through real estate projects, and then lend it out at high interest rates through honest companies. Most of the loans from our company are to builders or suppliers who work for Jiangkai Real Estate. They lend money at low interest rates." At high interest rates, they advance funds to Jiangkai Real Estate and earn profits for Jiangkai Company."
“Isn’t this pushing up housing prices invisibly?”
"Of course, all the profits were made by Jiangkai Company, and it was the people who bought the houses who ultimately paid the bill."
"Okay Liu Lei, you can figure out all these things." Xu Wen praised.
"That's right. Even though I'm tall and thick, I'm not stupid." Liu Lei said proudly.
"What kind of person is Brother Hua?" Xu Wen changed the topic.
"Brother Hua, he is not an ordinary gangster. He is a top student who graduated from a certain 211 Finance and Economics Institute. After graduating from university, he became the credit department manager of a branch of a large state-owned bank."
"Oh, then why did he come to a loan shark company?" Xu Wen asked puzzledly.
"Hey, listen to me." Liu Lei took a mouthful of vegetables and chewed it.
"My name is Yan Hua from Hua Ge. Ten years ago, he was sentenced to three years in prison for embezzling public funds. When I was studying there, I met Jin Tie, the current security manager of Jiangkai Real Estate. Oh, by the way, I heard that Jin Tie recently Tie Ke fell into it, and Jiang Kai Company removed him."
"Jiangkai Real Estate removed Jintie?" Xu Wen asked.
"Well, I just heard Da Mao talk about it during dinner in the afternoon. Do you also know about gold and iron?" Liu Lei asked.
"I know a little bit, so you can continue talking about Brother Hua."
"Brother Hua joined Jintie after he was released from prison. Under Jintie's introduction, he met Shen Feiyu of Jiangkai Real Estate. After gaining Shen Feiyu's trust, he opened this integrity financial company."
"It seems that this Yan Hua is Shen Feiyu's right-hand man."
"Of course, Brother Hua has a very high status in front of Shen Feiyu. Shen Feiyu has four top generals, and Brother Hua ranks first."
"Oh, there are four more generals? Those four?"
"Brother Hua is first, he is engaged in finance. Jin Tie is second, he does dirty work. Fu Manyun is third, he has outstanding business ability and is also a bitch. Loach is fourth, he is good at inquiring about information and can also do some dirty work."
"Not bad, Liu Lei, you actually know so much." Xu Wen deliberately praised.
"What the heck, we guys are just idle all day, gossiping, but it may not be entirely correct."
"Hey, by the way. Do Wang You and Jin Tie know each other?" Xu Wen started to steer the topic in the direction he was concerned about.
Liu Lei tilted his head and thought for a while and said:
"I'm not sure about this. But I do know that Wang You and Da Mao are very good buddies. Today, Wang You called Da Mao as soon as he had something to do. They have known each other since they were children, and they have a similar relationship to us."
"Does Damao and Jin Tie know each other?"
"We must know each other. We are usually under the control of Brother Hua, but sometimes Jin Tie also asks us to do things."
"What do you do?" Xu Wen asked.
"We all do things to prop up the scene, scare people, or at most violate public security regulations, get into fights or something." Liu Lei replied nonchalantly.
"Aren't you going to do big work?" Xu Wen asked in a low voice.
Liu Lei turned around and looked around, then whispered in Xu Wen's ear:
"Jintie hires outsiders to do the big work, and people within the company don't participate."
Xu Wen wanted to find the intersection between Wang You and Jin Tie. After hearing Liu Lei say that Wang You and Da Mao were close buddies, he asked about Da Mao.
"What's Da Mao's name?"
"Big Mao's name is Mao Yong, and he also went in for gold plating. According to him, he stayed there for a year because of a fight."
"Do Damao and Wang You often get together?"
"Let's put it this way, as long as Da Mao is not with us, he must be with Wang You. Wang You contracts some small projects and often encounters some difficult people. Every time Wang You encounters trouble, Da Mao comes forward.
Set things right for him. Even when nothing happens, Da Mao often goes to Wang You's construction site to shake things up for him."
"I heard that Wang You has recently contracted a big project," Xu Wen said.
"Yes, we heard it from Da Mao. Da Mao said that after his brother Wang You finishes this job, he can be called the real boss. He also said that he has a stake in that project."
"What's going on with his dick?"
"I don't know, that's what he said, but we didn't take it seriously. Da Mao is usually very unreliable in what he says, and we generally don't believe what he says."
"Did you hear anything else about that project?"
"I haven't heard anything else. Da Mao doesn't talk to us much about this."
"Is Da Mao married? Where do you live?"
"Not married, but there was a woman living with him. He lived in Qingnian New Village. One time Da Mao drank too much, so I sent him home. The woman was not pretty, but she looked pretty.
Like a serious woman."
"Does Da Mao have a car?"
"Yes, it's the Passat we're riding in today. It's a company car, and Da Mao drives it all day long."
Xu Wen chatted with Liu Lei until late at night and got a lot of useful information out of him. At present, Xu Wen knew that if there was any connection between Wang You and Jin Tie, it must have been established through Damao. To find out
Da Mao is undoubtedly a good starting point for evidence of the connection between mountain blasting and car accidents.
How can I get close to Da Mao? How can I get the information I need from Da Mao? Follow Da Mao? Hold Da Mao directly and question him? Ask Liu Lei or Da Mao to borrow loan sharks?
