Chapter 745 Meeting the Old Man
In the business world, fraud is common, and scammers are countless.
Anyone who does not follow the procedures, puts forward various conditions, and gives various so-called reasons is basically a scammer. These scammers often take advantage of the other party's eagerness for quick success to set up traps and defraud them.
Their methods are not very sophisticated, but they are very tempting to laymen. In addition, they are very measured in their frauds. Some scammers will even cheat you out of a meal, a few cigarettes, or a few bottles of good wine. Just like the scam that Song Yuanchao's friend encountered, the purpose of the scam was to cheat him out of a batch of goods in the name of asking for samples, and then ask for the so-called inspection fee to cheat him out of a few thousand yuan.
The total cost of all these is only about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. What's more, the scammers have already made a plan. They will send the other party away by claiming that the inspection failed. Anyway, there is a cooperation intention agreement, so you will have no reason to argue even if you call the police.
Song Yuanchao immediately pointed out to his friend that this was a scam, and he also told him in detail what the other party would do next, how they would do it, what the ultimate real purpose was, etc.
But the other party simply couldn't listen to these words. At that time, this friend's mind was full of his own imagination, and he made up a lot of things on his own. He took it for granted and gave what he thought was a reasonable explanation for the so-called loopholes pointed out by Song Yuanchao.
This kind of situation is very common when encountering fraud. Many people are deceived in this way. Even during the later process of the fraud, they do not believe the police's persuasion and explanation. They watch him (her) being deceived and only regret it when he (she) wakes up.
Song Yuanchao gave up after his persuasion failed, and never cared about it again. But he heard that his friend's final result was exactly what he expected, and he fell into the trap step by step, and finally realized that he was completely deceived and suffered losses.
So Song Yuanchao understood this principle very well. This is what it means that good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. Even if Song Yuanchao and Jiang Dongliang break things down and explain them clearly, Jiang Dongliang, whose brain is already hot, will not listen at all. Instead, he will think that you are jealous and cannot bear to see him having good thoughts.
This time, after Song Yuanchao tried to persuade Jiang Dongliang for a few words, he realized from Jiang Dongliang's reaction that he would not listen to any objections at all, so he stopped persuading him. He just smiled and found a random reason to reject Jiang Dongliang's good intention of inviting him to make a fortune together.
Seeing Song Yuanchao refuse several times, Jiang Dongliang couldn't help but shake his head with some regret, lamenting that Song Yuanchao was too timid. Why didn't he dare to take a chance on such a good opportunity?
After seeing Jiang Dongliang off, Song Yuanchao smiled bitterly and shook his head, then lit a cigarette and thought about this matter.
In fact, this matter had nothing to do with Song Yuanchao, and he could have completely ignored it. But Jiang Dongliang came to talk to him about this matter today with good intentions, and they were barely friends. In addition, Song Yuanchao knew the seriousness of the matter. There were too many companies and individuals involved, and countless people had been cheated.
After thinking about it, Song Yuanchao felt that he had to do something. At least he couldn't just watch Jiang Dongliang jump into the fire pit. It was not easy for him, a township entrepreneur, to make money. 200,000 yuan in assets was a huge sum of money for people nowadays. Once he was cheated, he and his factory would be completely finished, not to mention that there were many people like Jiang Dongliang.
Picking up the phone, Song Yuanchao took out the address book from his pocket, found a number and dialed it. He told the other party about the matter and expressed his opinion. After hanging up the phone, Song Yuanchao sighed and waited for the development of the matter. He hoped that Jiang Dongliang would not be so unlucky.
After a night's rest, Song Yuanchao went to inspect the factory in Suzhou.
With the smooth progress of the water beverage project, the first phase of the Suzhou factory has been completed and the products began to be put on the market before the New Year.
Now, because the second phase has not yet started, the output is not satisfactory, especially the market for bottled water is still imperfect, and barreled water is the current production direction.
Song Yuanchao's plan is to cover the market within one year, cultivate the water beverage market through the bottled water model, and then gradually change the proportion of the two sides, eventually making bottled water the main sales product.
Although it is a new factory, due to its importance, Song Yuanchao drew capable personnel from the main factory. From the factory director to the workshop directors and ordinary workers, they are all veterans of Si Te. Even the local land acquisition workers must undergo training before they can take up their posts. The system is very strict and its implementation is uncompromising.
After inspecting the new factory and chatting with several cadres in the factory, Song Yuanchao was quite satisfied with their work.
After staying in Gusu for a few days, Song Yuanchao set out to return to Nanjing. When he arrived in Nanjing, the Lantern Festival was approaching. Song Yuanchao went home to settle down and then went directly to Lin Daoyuan.
"You're finally back." Lin Daoyuan said this as soon as he saw Song Yuanchao. This was the first time he had met Song Yuanchao since before the Chinese New Year.
Song Yuanchao took out the gifts he had brought with a grin on his face. These gifts were specially bought in Hong Kong, and most of them were food supplements.
My father-in-law is not young anymore, and so is my mother-in-law. In addition, Lin Daoyuan is busy with work. Although cadres of his level have some exceptions in life, age is not forgiving after all, and he has gradually lost some energy in the past two years.
"Spending money in vain again!" Looking at the things Song Yuanchao brought, Lin Daoyuan said unhappily, "I don't eat these things, why buy them?"
"Haha, Yan Zi asked me to buy it. This isn't old mountain ginseng or anything like that. These are all good things that replenish your vitality. Oh, and Yan Zi also asked an old Chinese doctor in Hong Kong to make a few dietary recipes for me. She asked the aunt at home to make them according to the recipes. You and mom can try them and see the effects."
When he heard that it was a gift from his beloved daughter, Lin Daoyuan's expression eased a lot. He stopped talking about it and instead asked about Lin Yan and the child.
Song Yuanchao told Lin Daoyuan that Lin Yan and the child were doing well there, the fetus in her belly was also doing well, and everything was fine. Lin Daoyuan was very happy at the thought of having a grandson or granddaughter soon, especially since he already had two grandsons and one granddaughter. He hoped that Lin Yan could give birth to a daughter this time.
Having all the children together is a good word, and he is satisfied with this.
After chatting about family matters for a while, Lin Daoyuan asked, "Did you call the relevant department a few days ago?"
"How do you know?" Song Yuanchao was stunned.
"How could I not know? Not long after you made the call, the news reached me." Lin Daoyuan glared at him: "You are just talking nonsense! Is there anything that cannot be reported according to the procedure? You are so capable now!"
"Dad, what you said..." Song Yuanchao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly explained.
He did make a phone call and directly found a cadre he knew. He originally thought that this call would make them pay attention report the matter to their superiors, but he didn't expect that the news would reach Lin Daoyuan's ears in such a short time.
Song Yuanchao was well aware of Lin Daoyuan's temperament and character. He was most opposed to people using his name to gain connections through the back door. In his opinion, Song Yuanchao's behavior was equivalent to putting pressure on the department in the name of his son-in-law. The comrades from the unrelated departments reported the situation to him, and intentionally or unintentionally tried to find out whether it was his intention.
Song Yuanchao told Lin Daoyuan that this matter was not at all what he had imagined, and briefly talked about Jiang Dongliang's situation, especially pointing out that this so-called water-to-oil project was completely inconsistent with scientific laws and was a complete scam.
Moreover, this scam is getting worse and worse, and it seems to be out of control from north to south. More and more people are involved in it. Once the scam is finally exposed, the losses suffered will be very heavy, and the impact on society will not be small.
"That shouldn't be the case. Hasn't Bingcheng already conducted an investigation? The results of the investigation have also proved that this invention is real and effective. How can you say it's a scam?" Lin Daoyuan frowned and asked back. After learning about the situation, he also asked someone to investigate, but the results of the investigation were completely opposite to what Song Yuanchao said.
"Dad, you went to college, so you must have remembered the chemistry you learned back then, right? Do you think you can turn water into oil just by relying on the so-called mother liquid? If that's the case, then turning stone into gold is not a myth, and perpetual motion machines would have been invented long ago."
Lin Daoyuan frowned. Although what Song Yuanchao said made sense, he still felt that this was a little unbelievable. After all, from the information he received, the public security comrades in Bingcheng had already verified this matter, and the result of the verification proved the authenticity of this invention.
In addition, local comrades in Bingcheng now attach great importance to this invention and have adopted a supportive attitude with great fanfare. Even the newspapers have published such news. But Song Yuanchao insists that it is fake and a scam?
"Do you have any evidence?" Lin Daoyuan asked after thinking for a while.
"What kind of evidence do you need? Science is the evidence!" Song Yuanchao said bluntly, "It's easy to expose this scam. Just ask some experts in petroleum or chemistry. Anyone with some professional knowledge knows that this so-called mother liquid is completely unscientific and can't possibly exist."
Lin Daoyuan said nothing, thinking quietly.
Song Yuanchao's words were so certain that Lin Daoyuan's previous thoughts were somewhat shaken. Although he didn't understand these things, Song Yuanchao was right. He was also a person with higher education and understood basic scientific knowledge.
Moreover, it is not difficult to verify this matter. Just like what Song Yuanchao said, find some experts to find out whether it is true or not. In addition, with Lin Daoyuan's identity and status, it is also easy to find such experts . Not to mention ordinary experts, even experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences can be contacted by Lin Daoyuan.
But the question is why has this matter been publicized to such an extent? Judging from the time, this so-called water-to-oil project has been in operation for two years. Has no one raised any objections in these two years? For a moment, Lin Daoyuan seemed to have thought of something. He was thoughtful and looked serious.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. If someone asks you about it again, just pretend you don't know." Lin Daoyuan said this.
"But Dad..." Before he could finish his words, Lin Daoyuan waved his hand and said, "Let me arrange it. Don't get involved. You are such a troublesome brat. You always cause trouble for me when you go on a business trip."
After hearing what Lin Daoyuan said, Song Yuanchao understood what he meant and nodded repeatedly, saying that he understood.
