Chapter Ninety-Six: Waves of Manipulation
Money is an essential thing for everyone, because whether we are going to buy a house, buy a car for our family, or take our wife or lover on vacation, we can't do without money. Since money is so important, but at the same time, money cannot be grown like potatoes, so many people will choose to invest in financial management and try to grow their money. How to choose financial management has become a very critical issue.
When we walk in the market, we will find that there are many companies that have launched a variety of financial products, but how do we choose these various products?
Yesterday, our reporter exposed a fraudulent company that uses wealth management products, they use insurance products as bait, and actually do a similar Ponzi scheme, but because of their declared interests, many people have been deceived, but some people still found out about this scam.
Since yesterday morning, people have come to the door of the Wharton company to protest and demand that the Wharton insurance company return the money they had defrauded. This was a legitimate wish, but then the Wharton called the police and used violence to drive all the protesters away.
We have no way of knowing how the Wharton company colluded with the police, but this kind of collusion with power to defraud is definitely a kind of gross interference in the federal constitution, but also a contempt for human rights, and it is irresponsible to all Brightons, we don't know how many innocent people will be deceived in the future, and how much money that should have been used for their families will be cheated by them.
......
The newsanner's voice echoed in the room, leaving Lin Muqing dumbfounded, and even Zhou Ming, who had always been unfazed, frowned.
"Zhou Ming, it seems that you guessed correctly, the reporter who came yesterday really has a problem!" Lin Muqing, who came back to his senses, said very indignantly, "But what kind of reporter is that, reversing black and white to this point? Forget about the crowd of troublemakers as legitimate protests, the picture above is obviously the insulting graffiti made by those troublemakers, how can it become a tragic situation that we made in his mouth? Is this still Northeast TV, one of Brighton's largest news media?"
"How the TV station creates public opinion depends on what kind of public opinion the forces behind it need, it is obvious that we are the target of them, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy!" Zhou Ming said with a smile.
Zhou Ming was supposed to attend classes at school today, but when he got up in the morning, he received a call from Omar, on the phone, Omar did not have any politeness, and directly told Zhou Ming the news, so Zhou Ming stayed in the hotel, waiting to watch the second period of news, and sure enough, he waited for the news that Omar said, which was about Wharton.
Of course, Lin Muqing understood who Zhou Ming's object was, so she also clenched her pink fist with hatred and said: "Damn these guys, do they think that they can reverse black and white at will if they grasp public opinion? Zhou Ming, I think we can immediately sue Northeast TV for defamation, and then spread the news of our lawsuit against Northeast TV, maybe we can eliminate the impact." β
Zhou Ming nodded: "Prosecution is inevitable, which is why I recorded this news, I will call my lawyer later." β
Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Lin Muqing lost her confidence: "Zhou Ming, do you say that this is really okay?"
"Of course, it can't be that simple. Zhou Ming said, "In fact, from the fact that the police came over without any hindrance yesterday, it is easy to judge that it is not Robert behind this time." β
"Could it be that he really said that his father Christo was moved? This is incredible, after all, this is also a very old Addams family, why are their decisions as hasty as children playing at home?" Lin Muqing said very puzzled.
Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders senselessly: "I can't understand this, maybe their family also has a special story of their own, but it has nothing to do with our main story for the time being, so I won't explain it." β
In the end, Zhou Ming's voice sank: "But no matter who the person behind the manipulation is, I can't just let others slaughter me!"
After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of lawyer Allen, but no one answered for a long time.
This situation made Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing feel a little surprised, because they dialed Allen's mobile phone, which shouldn't be like this, coupled with the previous speculation about Christo, they couldn't help but have a very bad premonition.
"Zhou Ming, it can't be that Allen is also like Tong Gang and Li Cheng, what happened to them, right?" Lin Muqing asked worriedly.
Zhou Ming shook his head, he then dialed Allen's office phone, but still no one answered, and finally Zhou Ming had no choice but to dial the phone of the law firm, and it rang seven times before being connected.
After the phone was connected, Zhou Ming didn't speak for the first time, because the first sentence that came up from there surprised and surprised him: "Hello, this is Taikang Investment Company, who are you looking for?"
Taikang Investment Company?
Zhou Ming searched his memory, but he could not find any trace of this company, could it be that he made a mistake? Zhou Ming was sure that he would not dial the wrong number, so there was only one possibility, that this Taikang investment company had occupied the magpie's nest and squeezed out the entire law firm. As incredible as the idea is, there doesn't seem to be much more than that.
But Allen's law firm is also very famous, how could it be squeezed out by an unknown company?
With such doubts, Zhou Ming asked: "Hello, where is the original law firm here?"
Faced with this question, he replied, "Do you mean the law firm that used to be here? He has gone bankrupt and closed down, and I bought it from my friend for $10,000." β
Although he had expected this result for a long time, when he heard this result, Zhou Ming was dumbfounded, and he didn't even react to the phone when he hung up.
The reason is very simple, a law firm bought by $10,000 You must know that Zhou Ming pays Allen more than $10,000 in legal fees every month, and if something happens, even if it is $100,000 or 200,000, it is very possible, how can this law firm be sold for $10,000? Zhou Ming would not think this because he suspected that the other party was deliberately deceiving himself, but that this kind of practice was really too capricious.
Next to Zhou Ming, Lin Muqing obviously heard what she said on the phone just now, and she asked Zhou Ming: "Could this be a conspiracy of the Addams family?" β
Zhou Ming shook his head: "I don't know, but this method seems to be very unnecessary, and if it is really a means over there, it will make people feel a little naΓ―ve, because Northeast TV is a very large media company, and it is not even a trouble to call this matter a problem; β
As if to prove it, Zhou Ming's words fell, and his mobile phone rang immediately, Zhou Ming connected, and suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I'm Allen, there was a little problem with the law firm, and I was just helping to deal with it." β
"What's the problem? And your phone won't get through. Zhou Ming asked.
"My phone is broken, and my question is about my lawyer's qualifications, because of the situation on the law firm's side, I was also investigated by the bar association. Alan replied.
This answer surprised Allen: "So Allen, you are now disqualified from a lawyer?"
"I was temporarily disqualified as a lawyer, but I don't think it will be long. Allen said.
If Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing were only speculating about whether it would be a conspiracy of the Addams family before, now they can be completely sure.
Allen's side also sensed Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing's emotions, and he then said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, if you need it now, I can recommend another lawyer for you." β
Zhou Ming sighed and said, "For now, it can only be like this." β
After hanging up Allen's phone, Zhou Ming didn't even have time to say anything to Lin Muqing, and his phone immediately rang again, this time from his administrative director, Julie.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, I have now arrived at the Tiantai Building, and I have just asked Mr. Ram about the cleaning situation according to your request, and he said that the cleaning will be completed within today. Julie reported to Zhou Ming.
Lin Muqing gave Zhou Ming a look: Today, he was manipulated by the Addams family wave after wave, and now there is finally a normal thing.
Zhou Ming grinned, and at the same time said to Julie: "If that's the case, I'll give you a day off today, it's a paid vacation, and you will come back to work after the cleaning work is over tomorrow." β
Julie thanked Zhou Ming on the other hand, and their conversation was about to end like this, but Zhou Ming listened to Julie's tone of wanting to say something at the end, so Zhou Ming asked her: "Julie, is there any other problem about the company?" You know me as a person, if so, you don't need to hide it from me, you can say it directly." β
Julie seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, I don't think there will be many people coming to work tomorrow." β
"Why is that?" Zhou Ming was surprised.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, don't you know what's going on outside?" Julie said, "Now on the square at the entrance of the ladder building, a lot of people have gathered, and they are all protesting against our company's fraud, and even on the big screen next door, there is also this morning's news scrolling, and everyone has seen it, which has put them under a lot of pressure, and even their family and friends are looking for them to return the money, so ......"
"So they felt that they couldn't do it anymore, so they asked to resign, right?" Zhou Ming asked.
Julie nodded yes, but even if Julie didn't say it, Zhou Ming could guess the answer.
Zhou Ming thought carefully for a while and asked, "Julie's current employees are still in contact with you, and you can contact them at any time, right?"
Julie replied yes, and Zhou Ming then said to her: "Then Julie please help me tell them that they are all personal witnesses of the news, those on TV are all lies, and what we did is absolutely not illegal, but I also understand their pain, so if they are leaving, I will give each of them two months of salary to thank them for everything they have done for the company when they are in the company, and at the same time, if they want to come back in the future, I am also welcome." β
At the end, Zhou Ming added: "Including Ms. Julie, you." β
With Zhou Ming's last sentence, Julie was silent for a while, and then she could clearly hear her uncontrollable sobbing, she cried and said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, you are really the best one I have met all the bosses, I believe that these are the conspiracy of the villains, you are the greatest businessman, your personality is sacred, your concept is advanced, I can meet you is God's blessing!"
"I am very grateful to Mr. Zhou Ming for your great trust in me, I will follow your company no matter what happens, unless you take the initiative to fire me!" Julie swore an oath.
"Thank you very much. Zhou Ming said.
