Chapter 1350 Protect her
Qin Ming was dumbfounded, staring at Liu Meilan in disbelief, stammering, "Meilan, I heard you made money, but I never imagined you could make so much! I thought Meixiang and I earned quite a bit, and we thought it was enough after asking you to help us invest. But now it seems we don't even make a drop in the ocean!"
Liu Meilan raised an eyebrow slightly. "My business is quite large. Don't be fooled by how much I earn; I spend money faster than I earn it, so I don't have much left."
Qin Ming waved his hand, his surprised expression gradually turning serious. "Meilan, I think they might be after money this time. Instead of investigating aimlessly like this, it would be more efficient to wait for someone to take the bait and then follow the clues."
“Yes, that’s what I think too,” Liu Meilan replied. “Anyway, when you go back, be careful. The other side is in the shadows, while we are in the open. We can stay calm; it’s them who are anxious.”
Qin Ming agreed, "Understood."
After Qin Ming left, Liu Yiwen and Liu Meilan looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Meilan, should we slow down?" Liu Yiwen frowned, very worried about the sudden disturbance.
In the past, he might not have cared, but now that there are children in the family, he has more things to worry about.
Liu Meilan pondered for a moment, "Second brother, we not only can't slow down, we have to speed up. The reason they dare to make trouble is because we are still in the early stages. When our project is fully developed, others will have to think twice before messing with us."
Liu Yiwen sighed, "Fine, I'll listen to you. I'm going back to the company. Although the matter has been suppressed, there's still talk about it."
"Thank you for your hard work, Second Brother," Liu Meilan said with concern. "When you have time, go visit Uncle Wang. He has more information and connections than we do, so he might be able to offer us some help."
Liu Yiwen nodded, "Indeed, they should contribute. After all, we've invested in some projects together with the Shenzhen State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. They've made a lot of money investing with us over the years. Uncle Wang is already the head of the First Secretary position and is expected to be promoted further."
Liu Meilan thought about it carefully, "How about this, you go back to the company first today, and I'll go with you to see Uncle Wang tomorrow."
"Okay!" Liu Yiwen replied.
Liu Yiwen called his father and Fu Chen, telling them to come to the city and not to worry.
Liu Zhengtao had already found out some details through his own channels. "Meilan, my friend didn't find out who instructed someone to bribe Liu Xiangnan, but he found out that some people want to invest in your project, especially investment funds."
Liu Meilan wasn't surprised. "Dad, I thought of that too. Did they say who it was?"
Liu Zhengtao replied, "Yes, I won't say it over the phone, I'll have someone send it to you later."
"Okay, sure." Liu Meilan chuckled. "Dad, don't worry about me, I can handle it."
Liu Zhengtao laughed, "Every penny you and your second brother earn is legal. We're not afraid of being investigated, of course we're not worried. Since others dare to reach out, don't be afraid, cut off their hands."
"Understood," Liu Meilan replied. She would study the list carefully once she received it.
On the phone, Fu Chen said to Liu Meilan, "There's a group of third-generation rich kids who don't know their place, are ignorant and incompetent, have no hope for a career in government, so they come to the financial industry to make money."
"Are these people out of their minds?" Liu Meilan was puzzled. Their Sifang Island regime accepted money from all legitimate sources and entrusted them with investments. "As long as they bring money over, I can invest it for them."
Fu Chen chuckled coldly, "They're used to getting something for nothing! Just because they say 'Dad, I want this,' or 'Grandpa, I want this,' they think they can do whatever they want! They don't even consider whether they have the ability!"
If Liu Meilan hadn't married Fu Chen, and the Liu family hadn't formed a marriage alliance with the Fu family, they might have been constrained in dealing with those powerful and influential descendants.
But the Fu family is located in Beijing, and these people actually tried to rob us secretly. They have some nerve!
Liu Meilan was taken aback, then realized what was going on. "My second brother and I have already discussed it and are preparing to wait and see who will jump out!"
Fu Chen agreed, "At this time, it's indeed better to remain calm and wait! My dad, my grandpa, my eldest uncle, my second uncle, and my brothers are all gathering information from various sources! Anyway, don't worry, this matter will definitely be resolved properly!"
Liu Meilan smiled, "I'm not worried! Grandpa called me too, and told me to wait patiently!"
Fu Chen said in a deep voice, "Some people aren't very capable, but they've got a long reach. I'm afraid they might have the life to make money, but not the life to spend it! They simply don't know their own limitations!"
After hanging up Fu Chen's call, Liu Meilan smiled. She was incredibly grateful that she had married Fu Chen; he hardly had to lift a finger, and the Fu family was able to handle everything.
The brothers and sisters-in-law were very enthusiastic because after investing their savings in Liu Meilan, the profits they received far exceeded those from bank deposits.
Their workplaces are government agencies, which prohibit them from engaging in business. Even if they were allowed to do business secretly, not everyone could make money in commerce through legitimate means.
Many people take unpaid leave to start their own businesses, but very few actually make money. Many return to their jobs dejectedly. Of those who didn't take unpaid leave and went straight into business, a small minority succeeded, but most fared poorly.
Now my sister-in-law is helping with the investment, and all the money is legal and compliant. There's no need for embezzlement or bribery. Isn't that great?
To target Liu Meilan is to smear their purse strings and threaten their finances.
Moreover, they were all cousins and sisters-in-law, a time when the whole family was united, so they also inquired through various connections.
So in just three days, they basically found out the connections between some of the leaders.
Even Chen Jing and Yang Hao actively inquired, as they had many connections in both government and business circles and were more flexible with information.
Chen Jing flew directly to Shenzhen and met Liu Meilan for coffee. "Meilan, Yang Hao and I found out that it's a man surnamed Chu who's behind this. He doesn't want to make money by asking you to help him invest; he's trying to directly acquire shares in your Sifang Fund Securities!"
Liu Meilan was astonished. "Our private equity fund, although not as large as those big securities companies, is still worth over 300 billion! How much money is he planning to invest?"
"Money?" Chen Jing sneered. "They're waiting to get something for nothing, why would they give you money?"
"You think you can get shares just by talking?" Liu Meilan scoffed. "Dream on, are you still half asleep?"
Chen Jing nodded, "You're right, they just want to get a certain percentage of shares without even asking! And then get a certain percentage of the profits every year!"
"What's his background?" Liu Meilan asked.
Chen Jing replied, "It's the son of a certain Buwei (a government official). I only found out about one of them; there are others too! Anyway, it's a group of young people like that."
