Chapter 338: Borrowing Chickens to Lay Eggs
"It's tail number 3871, go to the Rico Building, right?"
"Yes."
A middle-aged man pulled out the co-pilot's seat and sat up.
The man is tall and burly, not much shorter than Song Ci, and his voice is even louder, full of neutrality, and he wears a black suit, which is worth a lot of money, but unfortunately it is full of folds, making him a little sloppy.
This is a very handsome middle-aged uncle, even if he is bald, he is still full of masculine charm.
With a box of cigarettes and a lighter in his hand, he asked as soon as he got into the car, "Can I smoke?" ”
"Yes." Song Ci then opened the window through a crack.
The middle-aged man immediately couldn't wait to order one.
Seeing him like this, Song Ci smiled: "Don't you smoke it at home?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled, touched his bald head, and then said, "My wife is strict, so I can only smoke one or two outside." ”
After speaking, he said, "Do you want one?" ”
"No, I'll quit smoking." Song Ci said.
"Is my wife strict?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." Song Ci followed his words.
The middle-aged man smiled even more happily.
Then persuaded Song Ci: "It's good not to smoke, I can't do it, I have a lot to worry about, if I don't smoke one or two, I don't have the energy to do things." ”
"That's true, I'm an online car-hailing person, and I don't have much to worry about, unlike a big boss like you, who must have a lot to worry about." Song Ci said with a smile.
"Oh, how did you see that?"
The middle-aged man was a little surprised when he heard this, and seemed to be interested in Song Ci, and began to look at Song Ci carefully.
"Your suit, the price is expensive, and it should have just been bought, if it is an ordinary person, it must be very cherished, but after you get in the car, your attitude is casual, you don't care, in addition, you smoke the Yellow Crane Tower, lighter or zippo 80th anniversary model, it can be seen that your identity is not ordinary."
"How can you tell if my suit is new?" The middle-aged man asked with some surprise.
"There is still a difference between clothes that have not been dry cleaned and those that have been dry cleaned, especially the cuffs and collars, after the second ironing, they are not as regular as when they were first bought."
"Awesome, I don't think you look like a ride-hailing business." The middle-aged man admired the authenticity.
"What do you think I should do?"
"Soldier? Just discharged from the military? The middle-aged man looked Song Ci up and down, and then asked tentatively.
Song Ci knew why he said this, because Song Ci learned martial arts with his grandfather since he was a child, and later went to the police academy, even after graduating for many years, his sitting and standing posture is still different from ordinary people, with a straight waist, his head held high, and there is no such soft stepping feeling.
"Sort of." Song Ci said perfunctorily.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was very happy, and he looked like he had been guessed by me.
"It's not a matter for you to run an online car-hailing service, do you want to come to my company? It's definitely much better than if you run a ride-hailing service. ”
"Boss, you don't know what I'm capable of, so let me go to your company?"
"It's always good to drive, right? It just so happens that my driver is ready to resign because of something at home, and I want to recruit another one, but the driver is easy to recruit, but it is not easy to recruit trustworthy, you are a soldier who is a retired soldier, and you must be trustworthy. ”
The middle-aged man actually made a lot of sense, don't look at the driver as just a driver, but he often goes in and out with the boss, so character is the most important.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Song Ci asked with some curiosity.
"Guess what?" The middle-aged man looked like he was taking a teaching.
"I guess you're either making medical devices or doing the Internet." Song Ci said without thinking about it.
"Can you guess that? How do you see that? The middle-aged man was surprised.
Song Ci didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Because in the Like Building, there are not medical equipment or the Internet, and there are the most companies in these two industries." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he burst out laughing.
"It seems easy to say it, but you can think of this in an instant, which means that you have a high IQ and careful logical thinking, and I am more optimistic about you, how about it, do you want to consider coming to my company?"
"You haven't told me what your company does?"
"Our company is a gamer, have you ever played Chicken Run? That's what our company does, in addition, there is also the Ultraman series, in Jiangzhou City, at present, our family is the largest mobile game company...... "The middle-aged man is quite proud.
As he spoke, he took out a business card from his clothes and handed it to Song Ci.
Happy Valley Animation Information Technology Co., Ltd
Wei Mingyu (Chairman)
138XXXXXXXX
The information on the business card is simple, but the business card is very textured and gives people a sense of superiority.
"It's amazing, it's really a big boss, no wonder it's busy." Song Ci was amazed.
"It's just a fluke." Wei Mingyu was humble at this time.
I don't know if it's because he's talkative, or if he wants to show off in front of Song Ci, so he took the initiative to talk about some things about himself.
learned from him that Wei Mingyu turned out to be a programmer.
After Song Ci heard this, he subconsciously glanced at his bald head.
Wei Mingyu also noticed it, and didn't care, but showed a knowing smile.
After graduating from university, Wei Mingyu joined a foreign-funded company with several classmates.
The foreign company also makes games, but sells them to Hong Kong and North America.
And he also sat in the position of technical director in this company.
But later, the company withdrew its investment, and everyone naturally lost their jobs, and many people either changed careers to other industries or went to other provinces.
Because Hezhou at that time was still a game desert, no one did this at all.
And Wei Mingyu saw this opportunity, brought in a group of people, and did it himself.
"At that time, we wanted technology and technology, and we wanted talents, the only thing we lacked was money, no one invested in us, and ...... salaries could not be paid.
"And then you got the investment?" Song Ci asked.
"No, but one of us mortgaged his property to the bank and applied for a loan, which allowed us to tide over the storm." Wei Mingyu said with emotion.
"Wow, this one is quite bold, it's up to you, otherwise the house will be gone." Song Ci was a little surprised.
Wei Mingyu nodded, took the last puff of his cigarette, and flicked the cigarette butt out the car window.
"Then he must trust you very much, so he will give it a go, and now he must be making a lot of money." Song Ci continued.
"yes, he's made a lot of money." Wei Mingyu said faintly.
Then he turned his head to look out the window, as if he had lost interest in the conversation.
Seeing this, Song Ci stopped talking, but just glanced at the rearview mirror.
Until he arrived at the Like Building, Wei Mingyu got out of the car and never mentioned that Song Ci was his driver.
Watching the others leave, Song Ci asked the back seat, "So what he said is true?" ”
"Most of them are true."
On the empty seat behind the car, a faint voice sounded, of course, this voice can only be heard by Song Ci.
"What part is false?" Song Ci asked with some curiosity.
"I didn't make any money at all, and I posted millions upside down, how can I be willing? If it weren't for me, how could he be successful now? Ingratitude ......"
This person's name is Wu Haiping, and he is the person who mortgaged the property in Wei Mingyu's mouth.
"He doesn't even want to admit a word of his friend."
"At that time in that foreign-funded company, he was the technical director, I was the planning director, our group provided game solutions, his group realized, came and went, the two of us naturally became friends, at that time we had just graduated from college, enthusiastic, and because of the love of games, so we all devoted our minds to making games......"
"But with the collapse of foreign-funded companies, these people are all facing unemployment, my family is a local, the conditions are not bad, in addition to having a house, there is also a façade, it is a bit of capital, so I want everyone to come and work with me."
"Making games must be inseparable from technology, so I found Wei Mingyu, but Wei Mingyu actually wanted to use the engine in his hand to negotiate with me and ask for 40% of the shares."
"Do you know the engine?"
"It's not very clear." Song Ci is honest and authentic.
"In the past, game engines were not as open to the outside world as they are now, and they were used directly, and many game companies would develop their own exclusive game engines, and Wei Mingyu's so-called engine was actually developed by the foreign-funded company where we were before, and after the foreign capital withdrew, he quietly copied all the code and monopolized the engine ......"
"His approach is not authentic, but I don't have too many choices, on the one hand, if I develop the engine myself, not only the cost will increase a lot, but also the time is too long, which will inevitably increase the operating costs, and I have cooperated with Wei Mingyu for many years, so I don't need time to run in, and I can start the project directly, so I agreed to his conditions......"
"In order to support the company until the completion of the first project, I first sold the façade house, and then mortgaged the house, which can be said to have put all the bets on this project, for which my wife quarreled with me a lot......"
"But I didn't expect that I gave him 40% of the shares, and he was still not satisfied, and began to meddle in the management of the company, from personnel recruitment to personnel appointment, step by step to eat away at ......"
"Because he has mastered the company's technology, the project is inseparable from him, and I can only swallow my anger, thinking that after the first project is completed and the money is made, I will immediately kick him out of the company......"
"But after our project was launched, it didn't become as popular as I expected, at that time we were too naïve, thinking that as long as we made a good game, we could make a lot of money, but we ignored the importance of the platform, and the wine was afraid of deep alleys, at that time, there were no decent mobile game download platforms in China, unless we cooperated with mobile phone manufacturers, there was almost no other way to ......"
"The company almost completely broke the capital chain, and I still had a loan to repay, so Wei Mingyu found me again and wanted to buy all the shares in my hand with one million, I was exhausted at the time, I had no choice, and my health was not good, so I agreed, because I had a lesson from the past, so I kept an eye on it and kept the game copyright ......"
"But I didn't expect that just a month after I left the company, the company launched a new game, and found an application platform that cooperated with mobile phone manufacturers, and after a month of launch, I made more than 30 million ...... after removing the share."
Wu Haiping's face was full of anger, and his entire soul seemed to be distorted.
"How is it possible to develop a new game in a month? The game we developed before, it took almost two years, he was a thief, he was a thief, he changed the original game, changed a few characters, changed the name, and directly launched it as a new game, and that channel was also negotiated a long time ago, he deliberately pressed on, from the time he intervened in the management, I'm afraid he was already planning......"
"His trick of borrowing chickens to lay eggs is really clever, it is a vampire vine, sucking my blood, and strengthening himself......" Wu Haiping looked angry.
"How to say it, although he does it by means, but business things are like this, this matter, even if you sue him, I'm afraid he won't have a problem, if your wish is to let me help you take revenge, then don't talk about it......"
"No, no, I also know that I can't do anything about him, the thing I regret the most is actually sorry for my wife and children, if it weren't for me, they would at least live without worry now, and they wouldn't be renting a house outside like they are now......" Wu Haiping's face was full of remorse.
"So, how do you want me to help you?" Song Ci asked.
"Can you bring a few words to my wife?" Wu Haiping asked tentatively.
"Of course she can, but she won't necessarily believe me." Song Ci said.
"It's okay, you just need to help me tell her." Wu Haiping hurriedly said.
"Really? So what do you want me to tell her? And how do I get in touch with your wife. Song Ci asked.
When Wu Haiping heard this, he hurriedly told Song Ci what he wanted to say, and then told Song Ci his wife's phone number.
So Song Ci did not hesitate, and directly used his mobile phone to send a text message to Wu Haiping's wife.
Wu Haiping's words were very simple, that is, to tell his wife to ask her to find a person named Zhu Daqing, borrow him 200,000 yuan, and let her go to Zhu Daqing and ask him to repay the money.
As for who Zhu Daqing was, Wu Haiping didn't say, but listening to the meaning of his words, his wife knew this person.
After Song Ci finished sending the message, Wu Haiping left with great gratitude.
As soon as he left, Song Ci immediately dialed Yun Wanli's phone.
"Why did you remember to call me?" Yun Wanli was a little surprised.
"You say, if a game company breaks the law, what is it most likely to commit?" Song Ci asked.
"What's that?" Yun Wanli was confused.
"Answer my question first."
"Copyright disputes? Tax evasion? Yun Wanli said two reasons in a row.
"So you say, would anyone kill someone for this?" Song Ci asked.
"Probably not, but it's not good to say, okay, don't sell it, what the hell is going on?" Yun Wanli asked curiously.
So Song Ci told Yun Wanli about what happened in the car today.
"Do you suspect that Wu Haiping was killed? But in that case, why didn't he tell you the truth? And why do you have such suspicions? ”
"No, I'm not suspicious because of Wu Haiping, but because Wei Mingyu's abnormal behavior makes me suspicious, when he mentioned Wu Haiping, he began to avoid talking about it, and was a little flustered and nervous, and the hand holding the cigarette butt subconsciously began to ...... hard"
"Of course, it is also possible that he has done something wrong, but Wu Haiping has avoided talking about his own death from beginning to end, which makes me feel that there must be other things in this, and it is not as simple as the two said......
Then Wu Haiping asked me to send a message to her wife, saying that it was 200,000 in arrears, which I don't believe very much, 200,000 is not a small amount, and there is no IOU? Anyway, it's suspicious......"
"It's a little suspicious." Yun Wanli said seriously on the other end of the phone.
"yes, you think so, too."
"I still think that you haven't finished speaking, let's talk about your guess?" Yun Wanli is authentic word by word.
"Money laundering."
"Damn, this is a big case." Yun Wanli immediately came to the spirit.
