"What?" Duanmu was confused by what he said, "He gave you money? When? How much?"
"There is an envelope in the wine box that I didn't see just now. There is money in it. I don't know the exact amount."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
"10,000." Dong Qiangqiang counted the money and laughed at himself, "I also admire myself very much. I traveled across the ocean and studied hard, and in the end I became an international escort. I can be considered the end of it."
"What are you going to do with it? I mean the money."
"I'll definitely give it back." Dong Qiangqiang replied without hesitation, "I felt guilty for taking money from someone for no reason, not to mention that the other person was an old man. Who knows if the money is stolen money, but I don't have the contact information of the other person, so this matter is still It has to fall on Anderson. Annoying!"
"You're almost vomiting blood. It's not for nothing." Duanmu teased.
"You just said that Anderson wanted to give him to us." Dong Qiangqiang threw the money recovery envelope aside, "How did you tell?"
"Do you still remember what I told you before you went to Hamburg?"
Dong Qiangqiang rubbed his temples and recalled: "You said that if it were you, you would not go to Hamburg. You also asked me not to sign documents or make any promises. It would be best if I could also record."
"Yes, but do you know why I said that?"
"Tell me to be careful?"
"No, it's because Anderson came to me specifically before."
"Why is he looking for you?" Dong Qiangqiang found that Duanmu now liked to talk half-heartedly.
"same as you."
"Drinking with Lao Maozi?"
"If we meet, I guess so."
"You didn't go?"
"I refused."
"reason?"
"I don't want to have anything to do with people like him, so as not to get into unnecessary trouble." Duanmu confessed, "And I was about to go to the United States for a business trip. I really couldn't leave, and Anderson refused to say anything. Why are we meeting? I don’t want to waste time on him. Of course, I didn’t tell you this because I didn’t want you to go either.”
"Then why didn't you object or speak up when I called you this afternoon?" Dong Qiangqiang was a little unhappy, "You should have guessed it when I told you I was going to Jinhuan, right?"
"Yes, I guessed it at the time. But I think if we both offend him at the same time, it might be detrimental to the future. It would be better for one to be the bad guy and the other to be the bad guy. And you have always been cautious by nature, so I am not too worried about you going to the appointment. .”
"Okay, you didn't see him, but I did, and the final result is still the same." Dong Qiangqiang also saw him, and he vomited his wine. Duanmu's explanation was not completely unreasonable. He didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, so he changed his words, " Putting this matter aside, you haven’t answered my question yet, why do you think Anderson is going to leave the other party to us?”
"Anderson has asked us to meet with Sergeira again and again. Nine times out of ten, it has something to do with what we are doing now. Otherwise, he would not want to find two poor people who came from a socialist country simply because of his good intentions. Sponsoring international students, right? I mean Sergeyla."
"So what you're saying is," Dong Qiangqiang finally understood Duanmu's worries, "Xie is interested in our short-selling business?"
"Yes." Duanmu nodded on the other end of the phone, but Dong Qiangqiang couldn't see it.
"But why would someone with a big business fall in love with a small and broken company like ours?" Dong Qiangqiang didn't understand. "There are so many speculative companies that are bigger than us. It's totally fine for him to do it himself." .”
"It's an investment company..." Duanmu corrected softly.
"And even if Anderson wanted to match us up, this grandson didn't show up at all today, and the man named Xie never asked me about cicada hunting from the beginning to the end. He didn't care about our performance, fund size, or which stocks we shorted. He doesn't care about our backgrounds. He drinks wine when we come up and stuffs money with him after everything is done. He doesn't seem to be interested in our business. If you are really interested, you should ask about these things, right?"
After hearing this, Duanmu just replied calmly, making Dong Qiangqiang choked up. For a long time, he couldn't find anything to refute.
"Think about it, if he wasn't interested, why would he want to fight you for a drink? After everything was done, he gave you drinks and money. Is this normal?"
"..."
"I have met all kinds of investors in order to raise money for Qi Chan, but Russian, Arab and African investors are completely different from American and European investors. To be honest, I don't dare to ask for money from those people at all."
"Are you worried that these people's money comes from improper sources?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
"That's for sure. If their money is stolen money, then our fund will be helping them launder money. Even if we jump into the Yellow River, we won't be able to wash it out." Duanmu said worriedly, "The London police have been helping them launder their money." Investigate him, and Interpol is also investigating him. Although these people can't catch Sergei, they may not be able to catch us."
The train rumbled into the small passing station. Dong Qiangqiang looked thoughtfully at the cheerful passengers going up and down, listening to Duanmu continue on the phone: "Do you know what I am most worried about now? It's that Anderson is Sher Gellar’s white gloves, the money he invested in us last time was actually Sergeira’s.”
Dong Qiangqiang felt that he had sobered up in an instant. Although he was a little panicked, he immediately thought that since Duanmu said this, he must have considered possible solutions.
"If this is really what you said, what should we do now?"
"I don't know." Duanmu's voice sounded very depressed. "Even if it is really stolen money, we have nothing to do now. The money has been spent. We can only pray that the money belongs to Anderson and not Sergei. If the police really When this person comes to our door, we can only tell the truth. At least we can provide clear evidence, such as investment institutions and investors we have contacted before, which can prove that we were indeed financing at that time, and we did not know what the other party was offering. It’s dirty money.”
Dong Qiangqiang knew that Duanmu was telling the truth, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. He murmured after a while: "Did you think of this the last time we went to Frankfurt to confront Anderson?"
"No, I thought of this because of Anderson's recent erratic behavior."
"Is that why you are anxious to find money from other institutions to replace Anderson's shares?"
"Part of the reason is yes, but if we want to grow bigger, we do need financing."
"Then I will contact Anderson as soon as possible and return the money and wine to him." Dong Qiangqiang promised, "To avoid a long night and many dreams."
When Dong Qiangqiang got out of the taxi top-heavy and stood downstairs of his home, the night was already deep and the dim street lights had long been extinguished. He looked up and saw orange lights coming from his room upstairs. Lu Shan was probably still studying.
Lu Shan is a good boy, Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself as he walked into Lao Bai's house and fell asleep without taking off his shoes.
