Jia Lei took Pete into the hotel's banquet hall, this is a medium-sized banquet hall, the protagonist of this birthday banquet Jom is the owner of this hotel, originally with his status birthday party will only be attended by some colleagues, friends or peers, but since someone heard that his good friend Director Rohedder will come to his birthday party every year, many people have come to him to ask for invitations.

"Hello dear Mr. Jom, I'm Jia Lei from Goldstone Bank, and it's a pleasure to come to your birthday party. Thank you for the invitation!" Jia Lei said as he handed out the gift, which was two pearl necklaces and two silk scarves.

The value of the gift is average, and it is just right for people who have just met.

"Oh! I know you, the owner of the new museum. Jom said that one of the most popular gossip figures in Berlin at this time, Master Lei.

"Yes!" Jia Lei said with a smile, and he and Jom parted after a few polite pleasantries.

Jia Lei took Pete around the banquet hall, greeting a few people he had just met while looking for his target, Rohedder, the director of the Trusteeship Bureau.

"The boss is not quite the right guest at this banquet, it stands to reason that Jom is just the owner of a three-star hotel, it is impossible to have so many distinguished guests, the one in front is the director of Berlin's largest energy company, and the one on the right is wearing a red dress is the granddaughter of a mining tycoon, as well as people from the automobile manufacturing and home appliance industries......" Pete whispered to Jia Lei to introduce the guests in the room, these days he has learned about some of the more well-known entrepreneurs and wealthy families in Berlin according to Jia Lei's instructions.

"Of course not, Pete, remember, we're not the only smart people in the world!, but I now know where to go to Rohedder, the head of the trusteeship. Jia Lei said with a smile, and then he looked at the entire banquet hall and walked straight to the densest place in the crowd.

"Pete, let's make a bet, I think Director Rohedder must be there!" Jia Lei said, pointing to the crowd.

"Boss, you're still a minor—gambling isn't good!" Pete reminded in a whisper.

"Hey, you're so disappointed. After Jia Lei finished speaking, he walked into the crowd.

"What happened last week was so barbaric that Chancellor Kohl was tossed eggs, tomatoes and paint by an angry crowd during his visit to the East German city of Halle!" said an angry woman in West Germany, with others nodding.

"Those East Germans still say that we are liars, what have we lied to them? A few rotten factories that are about to go out of business? The government has given the East Germans a thousand reminiscences. Someone said indignantly.

"Isn't it a liar? A company with 130 million marks in cash actually sells only 2 million marks! Even if you don't do anything, the 12,000 employees who distribute the money in the company's account to BB can still get at least more than 10,000 marks each!" Jia Lei said in his heart, this is the most famous fraud case in the privatization of East Germany!

is so famous that when Jia Lei was a writer in his previous life, many books wrote about it! It also aroused readers' suspicions of plagiarism because of the stalk......

Jia Lei, as a melon-eating crowd, watched the whole process in his previous life, and then he was stunned by such a coquettish operation of the Trusteeship Bureau, he had never seen such a stupid person!

Maybe people are not stupid but deliberate, who knows!

It is important to know that the scammer used the 2 million marks to buy BB, the largest heating company in East Germany, or the head of the BB enterprise (the new ZF Industrial Alliance) paid 2 million to the scammer's leather bag company, and CHEMATEC AG, a leather bag company in a residential building, used this money to buy BB.

The liar himself didn't take a penny, and he can be a typical case of a white wolf with empty gloves!

Immediately after acquiring BB, the scammers used BB's existing funds to lend money to two unknown companies, $43 million to a Swiss company and $39 million to a Liechtenstein company.

After that, the BB, which had no liquidity, was completely unable to pay and could not even pay the wages of the workers, and the scammers had enough reason to declare the BB bankrupt and leave 12,000 East German workers unemployed.

The swindler then sold all the real estate of the BB in a hurry, and the office building and factory floor in Berlin were valued at less than 10 million marks by the Trusteeship, while the big swindler Michael Rottmann sold it for a high price of 147 million marks.

In the end, Michael Rottmann fled to a foreign country with the cash of 200 million marks he had fraudulently obtained!

"This kind of behavior of buying a business first - and then destroying the business because of poor management - and then selling the land feels inexplicably familiar? I seem to have seen ...... in my hometown in my previous life," Jia Lei thought to himself.

Hehe...... In this matter, if there is no ghost in the Trusteeship Bureau, Jia Lei can eat the door of the Trusteeship Bureau!

＊＊＊＊

"All we have to do now is to get on the line with Rohedder, the head of the Trusteeship Bureau, as the most valuable and profitable companies in East Germany have already been sold by the Trusteeship Bureau, and it will be too late to do so. Jia Lei said, and Pete immediately took him into the crowd.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Director Rohedder, I've admired your name for a long time! It's really my honor to meet you today!" Jia Lei said as he walked up to Director Rohedder.

Jia Lei's usual dislike of the death of age and height played a big role this time unexpectedly, you must know that Director Rohedder is at least twenty men and women talking to him, if it weren't for the height of Jia Lei's chickens and cranes, Director Rohedder would not have noticed a stranger at all.

"Black-haired, about ten years old, Asian face," Director Rohedder quickly glanced at Jia Lei, and immediately knew that the person in front of him was the Chinese philanthropist and banker Lei from the Berlin social circle.

"I'm also honored to meet you, Master Lei, I wonder what you're looking for me?" asked Director Rohedder.

"I heard that the Trusteeship Bureau has a batch of companies to auction recently, right?" Jia Lei asked straight to the point, and Westerners like to go straight to him, so you're welcome.

"Yes, why is it that your family is also interested in this, Young Master Lei?" asked Director Rohedder.

"Of course, none of the foreign investment banks that come to Berlin here are here for this! I brought Citibank's top investment advisory team with me to buy a few companies that I am interested in. Jia Lei said, Pitt immediately handed over a business card of the chairman of Goldstone Investment Bank.

"I can carry Citibank's top investment advisory team with me, with assets of at least tens of millions of US dollars!" said other guests discussing each other, Jia Lei was very satisfied with Citibank's tiger skin. That more than 100 million was not spent in vain!

"On behalf of the Trusteeship Bureau, I welcome a powerful businessman like you to invest in East Germany, and I am sure that you will get a satisfactory harvest. Director Rohedder said that because of recent political reasons, the government wants to speed up the privatization of East Germany, and the Trusteeship Bureau is worried about where to find so many buyers to buy the tens of thousands of companies in the hands of the Trusteeship.

"I wonder what kind of business Master Lei wants to buy?" asked Director Rohedder.

"My money is a start-up fund given to me by my family, because I am too young to manage a large enterprise, so I want to invest in a rental property such as a shop or apartment building, after all, such a property can be directly handed over to the consultant group to take care of, and I don't have to worry about losing money! Jia Lei deliberately blurred his background and said that as long as there are people, there will be Chinatown and Chinese businessmen anyway.

Moreover, in the Western upper class, some families will give all candidates a start-up fund for fair competition when choosing an heir, and similar things like start-up funds are not uncommon, so others do not continue to ask.

"Start-up funds? I see. This is my secretary, Hans, and you can go to him to ask about the investment or directly to the Depository Office for auction information. Director Rohedder said, and Hans immediately pulled out two business cards and handed them over.

"Pete, give your business card to Mr. Hans. Jia Lei commanded. In his previous life, idiot idol dramas dominated the screen, and Jia Lei knew that people with status would never take business cards from a secretary.

"I still have something to do, we'll get in touch later!" said Director Rohedder, and Jia Lei retreated willingly.

"Boss, aren't we going with Director Rohedder?" asked Pete.

"Pete, what about your brain, didn't the Director tell us what to do?" Jia Lei glanced at him suspiciously.

"By the way, Director Rohedder told us to go to the Trusteeship Bureau to get Mr. Hans for information. Pete said that Jia Lei shook his hand and almost dropped the tiramisu saucer he had just gotten to the ground.

"Pete, I forgot to ask you something, did you ever bribe?" Jia Lei asked suddenly.

"It's illegal for a boss to take bribes, and if I pay bribes in business activities, the federal government will have my financial license revoked!" said Pete in surprise, saying that although commercial bribery is common, it is rarely discussed publicly, and it would be bad if it was discovered.

"I ask you if you have it or not!" Jia Lei could only walk to a remote corner when he saw Pete's bear-like appearance.

"No! because I've been working in the concierge, although I often give gifts and souvenirs to clients, it's all legal. Pitt said, how could Citibank leave such a thing to an ordinary concierge receptionist.

"Didn't you do it in private at work? When you were in school or in private, you never used money to buy anyone?" Jia Lei asked angrily, he didn't expect that Pete was such a slippery person and still a law-abiding citizen.

"Yes, I wanted to go on a date with my girlfriend, so I gave my brother $20 pocket money to go to the movies, and I gave my classmate $10 to lie to me in order to take a leave of absence from my professor......" Pete gave a few trivial examples.

"Oh, yes, I'm afraid I'm supposed to go to Daddy Farr to do it. Jia Lei sighed and said.

"But Daddy Farr is a lawyer, how can he know how to break the law?" asked Pete.

"Pete, do you know why I spent a lot of money to hire Daddy Farr's lawyer?" asked Jia Lei.

"You need Daddy Farr to help you draft contracts, handle formalities and handle lawsuits. Pete said.

"I'll tell you today, the biggest use of lawyers for us rich people is to let them help us get through the loopholes in the law. Jia Lei turned around and said.

"Okay, boss, I understand, I'm going to ask Secretary Hans about the situation. Pete said.

"I have two small gifts here, you can help me bring them to Mr. Hans!" Jia Lei took out two hundred rubles from his hand and handed them over.

"The boss's ruble has depreciated, and it's worth five dollars! Isn't it too little? Although you've always been stingy, who would break the law for five dollars? Farr didn't take the money and looked at Jia Lei and said.

"It's gold! Gold retains its value forever, and it has nothing to do with the number printed on it. Jia Lei gritted his teeth angrily.

Is he so stingy? He is not even willing to pay bribes!
