The Era of Hard Work

Without any effort, Bei Xiangrong took a few policemen and joint defense, took down the two people in the reception room, extracted the confiscated certificates and document numbers, and verified it with the Quannan City Fire Brigade. The two Meng Jun found nothing. Man, the documents were never issued, and the books are fake.

The person was pushed away, Lu Dong glanced at Xue Tian, ​​and said, You are very vigilant.

Xue Tian smiled embarrassedly: The main reason is that the company's training has worked. I didn't realize at the beginning that the certificates and documents seemed genuine. Later, when they asked for money, I thought there might be something wrong.

Lu Dong nodded: You can summarize today's incident, and next month's training will be a typical case.

Xue Tian responded immediately: Okay.

This is not the first scam that Lu's Catering has encountered, nor will it be the last.

In the afternoon, Lu Dong got more specific information from the High-tech Zone Bureau.

The case seemed simple, and the means of the two scammers seemed not very sophisticated, but the branch office's interrogation and investigation were shocking.

The two scammers came from different provinces. Before coming to Lu's Catering, they had visited more than a dozen enterprises in Quannan and University City, and all of them were successfully defrauded, including two Ginza supermarkets and Hualian shopping mall.

Seemingly ingenious methods, but successive successes, probably gave the two of them enough confidence to make a big deal with Lu's Catering.

Thinking about it carefully, Lu Dong felt a little unbelievable. After all, it is not difficult to check the phone numbers of the fire brigade, and it is not difficult to call to inquire, but there are still many companies that are fooled.

Of course, thinking about it in another way, the firefighters are all uncles, and no one can afford to mess with them. If you don’t want to be troublesome, just treat it as a bankruptcy.

After waiting for two days, there was more news, and Lu Dong couldn't help being surprised.

These two people not only defrauded in southern Quannan, but also traveled through southern Henan and northern Hebei provinces, and successfully defrauded dozens of enterprises. The main methods of deception were posing as state organs, forging official documents, and selling pirated copies to enterprises and units. Books and CDs.

From the temporary residence of the two, the branch office found more than a dozen official seals and more than 20 fake documents.

I have to say that there may be some idiots who engage in fraud, but those who have succeeded many times are all talented people. These two people have impersonated the staff of many departments such as public security, national taxation, fire protection, and environmental protection.

What is even more surprising is that, after contacting many parties, the sub-bureau found that, except for Lu's Catering, none of the other companies that were deceived reported the crime!

Maybe many companies stop paying attention after they go bankrupt and eliminate disasters.

It is also possible that some companies are later found to be liars, but compared to the little money lost, the series of troubles caused by reporting the case will have a greater impact.

Not only did Lu Dong think of a sentence he once heard someone say, that only novels, movies and television need logic, and reality does not need logic at all.

When I went home in the evening, it happened that Lu Chun was off work, so I ate at my uncle's house.

The brothers inevitably talked about it.

Lu Chun said while eating: These two people are not highly educated. They just graduated from elementary school. They have worked in public security and joint defense before. They are very familiar with the style and routines of some departments. They specialize in this. To put it bluntly, they are self-taught.

Lu Dong told the truth: Every successful liar is a talent.

Lu Chun said: These two guys are really powerful. The amount of fraud is millions of dollars. The money is too easy to come by. They are extravagant and it is difficult to recover the money.

Lu Dong also generally knows that the most difficult thing in a fraud case like this is to recover the money. Many scammers get the money relatively easily, spend it without psychological pressure, and the money comes and goes quickly.

Fang Yan came over at this time with her stomach full, and asked Lu Chun, How is this going? Can it be published in the newspaper?

You are so active. Lu Chun said with a smile: Wait a little longer, it will be soon.

Fang Yan pulled out her chair and sat down: When the report goes out, I can always remind people to avoid being deceived.

But Lu Chun said: Some people, even if you tell them ten times in person, they will still be deceived if they should be deceived. When they hear that there are free things, they lose their minds with excitement.

Lu Dong said, There are quite a few people like this.

By the way, what happened to the martial arts conference you and Wen Yue talked about? Fang Yan asked with concern: The editor-in-chief asked about this specifically.

Lu Dong didn't ask any questions recently, and said, I'll ask Wen Yue later.

Hu Chunlan answered at this moment: Fang Yan, you have to let go of what you should do at work.

The eldest aunt Li Min immediately cheered up: Yes! Yes! The due date is still more than a month away. You go to work with a big belly, and it will be bad if you bump into it.

Fang Yan said with a smile: Mom, Auntie, I will ask for leave in half a month.

Half a month? Li Min frowned.

Fang Yan said: There is no way. The maternity leave is only three months in total. Now that I have taken early leave, the child will lose one month when she comes out. It will be even more troublesome then.

Li Min was silent for a while, and reminded: You have to pay attention.

After dinner, Li Min dragged Hu Chunlan into the room to talk, and could vaguely hear the boy talking.

Lu Dong generally understood that the eldest aunt wanted to have a relationship with her grandson, mainly because Fang Yan and Lu Chun were both civil servants, and they could only have one child. If they violated the policy, if they were really investigated, they would lose their jobs.

For ordinary public officials, the words only one child is good written on the walls of each village are not decorations.

In Zhangwan Village in the east, there was a family last month. In order to fight for their son, even the agricultural tricycle was taken away.

Lu Dong saw his aunt leading his old lady to talk in the house, so he went home alone. It happened that the door of Li Wenyue's house was open, so he went to talk to Li Wenyue.

The two of them each took a Mazza and sat in the yard talking with the night wind blowing.

Lu Dong asked: How about the martial arts conference? Have you found the contact information of the relevant personnel?

I went to the Provincial Martial Arts Association a few times with the people in the county, and through the Martial Arts Association, I got in touch with the heads of Kongtong and Wudang. Li Wenyue roughly said: I didn't expect that these martial arts really existed. According to their own statements, The respective sects are passed on in an orderly manner.

Lu Dong nodded, vaguely remembering that he had seen news reports on this.

Li Wenyue also said: The head of the contact is still not interested in attending such an officially endorsed martial arts conference. The few people I contacted made it clear that they would like to participate, but they also made some requests. .”

Lu Dong knew the crux of the problem as soon as he heard it: Do they want an appearance fee?

Li Wenyue said: Yes, there is an appearance fee, and travel expenses must be reimbursed. The head of Kongtong needs 3,000 yuan for the appearance, and the head of Wudang needs 5,000 yuan. When you come here, you need to take a soft sleeper.

It is normal to ask for appearance fees and reimbursement of travel expenses. In the eyes of Lu Dong, a businessman, it can be said that it is justified.

But why do you always feel that something is not right?

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Dong understood that the majestic Kongtong and Wudang sects only needed 3000 and 5000 appearance fees, which didn't match their great reputation.

It seems that it's really not a good mix.

However, it also shows that these people are not cheating and abducting like some folk masters. Otherwise, it is not difficult to make money in today's society under the banner of Kongtong or Wudang masters.

It is best not to have a character like the Tai Chi master that Wei Guo faced against.

How to screen out?

Lu Dong just thought about it for a while, and he came up with a countermeasure, and said to Li Wenyue: Since we invite people over, we must pay an appearance fee, but this standard should not be set too high, because it is easy to attract people like Wei Guo defeated. That kind of person.

Li Wenyue agreed: Yes, that kind of person has no real skills, only knows how to cheat.

Up to this point, he still remembered that the so-called Tai Chi master in Quannan, when he practiced with his apprentice, he pushed people somersaults with a single push, and when he really got to the ring, he couldn't even hold on for 20 seconds under Wei Guo's hands.

Lu Dong said: As for the appearance fee, you should set a standard.

Hmm... Li Wenyue pondered for a while, and said, I think 5,000 yuan is more appropriate, and it's the price that the head of Wudang wants.

Lu Dong nodded slightly: 5,000 yuan is a lot, half a year's wages for the average person.

Li Wenyue is in charge of this matter, and has obviously thought about it: The rate difference fee can be relaxed appropriately, and those who are willing to come by plane can fly. We will pick you up at the airport when the time comes, and the accommodation will be arranged in the hotel area. The antique building It's just right with the masters.

Lu Dong asked, Can the time be fixed?

We can't make a decision at the moment. Li Wenyue said: Now I have only contacted two masters. I think that at least ten or so masters must come to talk about martial arts, so that it can be called a martial arts conference. There are few people. Words don’t create momentum.”

Lu Dong agreed: The more people there are, the better. Even if you don't have a martial arts competition, you have to show the momentum of Huashan discussing swords.

Both of them laughed.

Li Wenyue has worked for such a long time, and he can see very clearly that such propaganda activities are all based on four or five points of facts, and five or six points of exaggerated propaganda.

It is not a problem to have a thicker skin, two or three parts of the truth, and seven or eight parts of exaggeration.

By the way, there is one more thing. Li Wenyue suppressed a smile and said, Uncle Qi heard that there will be a martial arts conference, so he came here to find me and wants to participate.

Lu Dong was not surprised. It was surprising that Uncle Qi didn't come to this kind of excitement.

Li Wenyue looked at Lu Dong, and couldn't help laughing: Uncle Qi said that he is going to participate as the Supreme Master of the Five Poison Sect, and asked me to give him an official invitation.

Lu Dong thought that with such a talent as Uncle Qi, if he went to the martial arts conference under the name of the leader of the Five Poison Sect, would he be beaten to death by the famous sect?

Shouldn't it? It is said that back then the six major sects encircled and suppressed Guangmingding and killed them, because the journey was too far away, and a group of prawns rushed to the real fire, so they wanted to solve the problem once and for all, otherwise they would go to Guangmingding every now and then. Can you bear it?

Don't do anything in this life, just go on your way.

This time, all the sects came here by train and plane, so it is impossible to be so angry.

Lu Dong was worried, and said: No, I have to tell Uncle Qi, he should represent Weihu Mountain and go to participate in the name of a mountain sculpture.

For a decent person like Uncle Qi, Zuo Shandiao deserves the title.

After chatting until after nine o'clock, Lu Dong returned home, and received a call from Song Na after taking a shower, asking him to go to the mountains with him tomorrow.
