Chapter 553 What's Under the Iceberg?
In the morning, in the room where Long Ming lived, he heard the sound of the alarm clock and slowly sat up and stretched.
He pressed the button next to it, and the curtains opened automatically. It seemed that it made no difference whether it was opened or not, because there was still no sunlight. She picked up her phone and looked at the time: six o'clock in the morning, just like the time he got up every morning.
"The weather is not bad." Long Ming changed into sportswear, put on sneakers and went out.
At six o'clock, the young people living in the imperial capital are not accompanied by the crow of the rooster, but have to set the alarm clock to get up early and run on the road of their own lives. Buses and subways have become good places for people to catch up on sleep.
At the entrance of the alley, there was a lot of fireworks and the sound of "cracking" was endless.
"Add egg. No coriander."
"okay."
"Master Zhang, have you eaten?"
"I just finished eating, I said, young master." The old man walking the bird in the cage also came out and greeted the neighbors with a smile. Walnuts or a radio were standard items at hand.
They get up early because of the chirping of birds.
As soon as Long Ming came to the food stall, he looked at the various delicacies. He didn't like eating offal, so he had nothing to do with fried liver. He asked for two taels of steamed buns.
"Long Mingyi, where are you?" After Xu Chen's call was answered, she yelled at Long Mingyi.
"What's wrong? Why did you get up so early?" Long Mingyi said, "It's only six forty now."
"My classmate has a morning meeting, and she has gone to work. Her husband hasn't left, so I can't rely on him, right?" Xu Chen said, "I'm looking for you to make a living. Get your room card and come back right away."
Long Ming had to take a taxi back to the hotel. Fortunately, the road was not blocked, so it was faster than running back.
Xu Chen in the lobby was a little hung up. When Long Mingyi came back with the mild steamed buns, she rushed towards the meat buns like a very hungry dog.
"Here, here." Long Mingyi hurriedly threw the bun to her. "Don't bite me."
"Who bit you? You are the dog."
"Didn't anyone feed you yesterday? You're so popular." Long Ming couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I'm still a little full." As he said that, he pretended to burp. "The treatment is not good.
identical".
"Get lost! I drank too much yesterday and didn't eat anything." Xu Chen said, "Since you don't want to eat, give me the room key."
"Why?" Long Mingyi stood up and said, "Come and eat if you want."
Two taels of steamed buns for one share is not enough for two people.
In the restaurant, Long Mingyi and Xu Chen were eating breakfast. Long Mingyi was eating preserved egg and lean meat porridge and Cantonese snacks.
Xu Chen took two mouthfuls of porridge and said after feeling relieved, "I was not idle yesterday. I asked you something."
"Do you remember that classmate of yours?" Long Ming asked.
"Although she has not been involved in this case, she still has some impressions of this case." Xu Chen wiped his mouth and said: "At that time, the company that provided tires was accused of dumping. It was my classmate who was a lawyer."
Long Mingyi and Xu Chen came to this business forum with a purpose. On the contrary, this forum is not that important.
"and after?"
"Let it go." Xu Chen said: "She was not at a high level at the time and didn't know the specific situation."
Long Ming smiled and said, "It would have been nice if she had become a partner a few years earlier."
"There are people everywhere in this world, how can it be so easy? She is considered fast now."
After Long Mingyi and Xu Chen finished eating, they returned to Long Mingyi's room.
"Tell me about the 'nothing left' from above," Long Ming said with a smile: "With your personality, if I let you know about any hidden possibilities, you would keep asking."
"You are like a roundworm in my stomach." Xu Chen said: "This 'nothing is settled' is equivalent to a private reconciliation in disguise, but there is no reconciliation document. She doesn't know the details, she just knows that the two parties have reached an agreement."
Agreement' to compensate for the 'litigation'. This is like a lie. It must have given benefits."
Long Mingyi said: "That means the tires they produce are still sold at a price lower than the cost."
Xu Chen said: "According to the 'case law system', once a case is formed, it can be judged according to this case. This is different from our country. I think they don't want to become a case. Otherwise, many companies will sue.
Yes, you will lose your life if you pay for it.”
Long Mingyi said: "It seems that we need to wait for other news. We know how deep the water is here."
Xu Chen said: "I think the water inside is very deep."
"Women's intuition?"
"Logical intuition." Xu Chen said seriously: "We have only uncovered the tip of the iceberg about Yin Shidan. And his interests have already been transferred abroad."
"Buzz..." Long Mingyi's phone vibrated.
"Hey, Mi Ming."
"Boss." Mi Ming's voice was quite steady: "We have a new discovery."
Long Mingyi hesitated and asked: "What new discovery?"
"Things are more complicated than imagined."
Inside Zhan Dao Capital, Mi Ming stood by the office window with an anxious look on her face. She held the information and didn’t know where to start.
"Simp, a company from China that buys tires from my country, has invested in a five-star hotel in X city on the coast."
"Is there any problem with this?" Long Mingyi said, "What did you find out?"
"The overall decoration of the hotel was won by a decoration company in City X." Mi Ming said: "The overall decoration cost was 220 million. The final decoration cost about 60 million more than the market price."
"It cost an extra 60 million?" Long Mingyi was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
This is an astonishing number!
Generally, the winning bid is the one with the lowest price. But the price given by this decoration company was actually 60 million higher than the market price.
Long Mingyi asked Mi Ming: "Is there a reasonable explanation?"
"Of course there is." Mi Ming said: "Because of some design adjustments, the cost has increased."
"How much can be adjusted?" Long Mingyi said: "It seems that this is not a normal transaction."
Mi Ming said with certainty: "It's very fishy. The decoration company's qualifications and procedures are complete, and no problems were found. The shareholders and legal persons also looked at it, and there is nothing particularly suspicious."
"That's one thread leading to another thread." As soon as Long Ming sat on the sofa, he was also a little nervous.
His nervousness came from an instinctive reaction. The decoration project of a five-star hotel was transferred as a profit, and an additional 60 million was added. What kind of gameplay is this?
Maybe the essence of the world is that a small group of players with power and finance are playing a sandbox game?
Xu Chen picked up the fruit next to her and took a small bite. She also hesitated and couldn't make up her mind.
"Long Mingyi!" Xu Chen said, "Maybe we should just ignore everything."
Xu Chen has a high awareness of risks and has a high ability to control them.
"in spite of?"
"Listen to me." Xu Chen said: "There are many people in the world who are doing dark things, such as drugs, weapons, and loan sharking. Some people even kill people and set fires for power. You can't control them. You can't touch those people.
.”
As soon as Long Ming looked at Xu Chen, she backed down. Although Mi Ming didn't say it explicitly, he also wanted to back out.
Xu Chen said: "Yin Shidan's relationship is too complicated. He is involved in the tire business, but what about the hotel? How many other things are there? He made money in the capital market in the past, and suddenly retired, maybe just for this. He
Hiding in the dark and manipulating things that they don’t even know about. And those people who look like they are being manipulated make money comfortably. Huang Chengcheng is an example. That mysterious teahouse may be just this well-run operation.
The machine, the tip of the iceberg sticking out. As for what’s underneath the iceberg, who knows? It’s like a shark fin, the real shark is under the water.”
