Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 88 Business Wizards
"How to start?"

Even if it is clear that Wu Xiuzhu is weird, but now that Wu Xiuzhu is dead, and Gao Chunhua and others have conducted a lot of investigations on her, where should we start?

After thinking for a long time, Lu Ming finally said: "I think, if there is really some kind of 'supernatural power' in Binhai Mansion, and Wu Xiuzhu's obviously abnormal paranoia towards Binhai Mansion, its root may be related to this Wu Qingfu, the designer and original owner of the building, who is also Wu Xiuzhu's father, cannot be separated from it."

Lu Ming's statement was approved by Zhang Dingshan and others.

Zhang Dingshan said: "Don't be in a hurry to go to Binhai Building in Yangyuan City. Qing Liang, go and collect information about Wu Qingfu. The more complete the better."

"Yes."

This meeting is thus concluded.On the second day, Lu Qingliang, who had obviously been busy all night and hadn't slept all night, came to the meeting room with a thick stack of documents.

"All the information about Wu Qingfu that can be found so far is here. If you want more, you have to visit those who know Wu Qingfu on the spot."

"Let's take a look first."

Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Ming sat down again and began to look through the materials.

As a well-known rich man decades ago, Wu Qingfu's information is not small.And Lu Qingliang's collection task was also carried out very competently.The information placed in front of several people at this moment almost covered Wu Qingfu's entire life.

From his birth, to his childhood, youth, youth, until he got married and started a business, the architectural design firm has accumulated tens of thousands of wealth, entered the real estate industry, built coastal buildings, and later entered into shopping malls, and the assets have increased. More and more, and finally buried the entire business empire because of a seemingly risky business decision, went bankrupt, and then died of a sudden illness, which is very detailed.

But... Lu Ming couldn't find anything weird in this thick stack of documents.

The same goes for Zhang Dingshan and the others.

No matter where you look at it, you can only draw one conclusion, that is, Wu Qingfu is a very normal businessman.He is full of pioneering and enterprising spirit, his style of acting is bold and can even be called adventurous, and he has great business talent.

Because of his overly bold and even adventurous style of acting, he became rich in one day and made his way into a huge family business.In the end, because of this style of acting, he made a wrong step at the most critical step and fell from the top of the mountain into the quagmire.

"It seems that there is nothing strange about this Wu Qingfu."

He Wei came to a conclusion.

For someone like Wu Qingfu who lives in the spotlight, it is almost impossible to keep his life story a secret.I don't know how many people, such as his competitors, learners, subordinates, friends, relatives, those in need, etc., will study every step of his life experience carefully.

However, with the capabilities of the Operations Department of the Planetary Security Bureau, the information collected must be the most comprehensive.

From this information, several members of the second action team did not find any value in further investigating Wu Qingfu.

If there is anything weird to say, then, when Wu Qingfu completed the Binhai Building and continued to expand his business territory, he made a few things that looked like suicide at the time, but in the end he won the victory in a very dramatic way. The risky decision to win in the end may be barely eccentric.

For example, one time, the "Fuqing Group" under Wu Qingfu ushered in a major strategic opportunity.In order to seize this strategic opportunity, Wu Qingfu made a decision to make a layout at an incredible speed, expand business rapidly, and seize territory.

This is completely beyond the expectations of competitors.After all, according to the size of the company at that time, such a rapid expansion could not be supported by the financial strength of Fuqing Group.

Unprepared, Fuqing Group's business has developed rapidly, and in a short period of time, its competitors have suffered a crushing defeat.

But competitors are in no hurry.Because they knew that the Fuqing Group couldn't last long.When their capital chain is broken, it will be time for their own side to regain lost ground.

However, no matter how you look at it, the break of Fuqing Group's capital chain is a high probability event.

Sure enough, soon after, Fuqing Group faced a serious financial crisis.For this reason, Wu Qingfu decided to sell a certain commercial real estate.

Whether this commercial real estate can be sold as soon as possible, cash can be withdrawn, and how much cash can be withdrawn is largely related to the life and death of Fuqing Group.

Generally speaking, under such circumstances, the assets sold will encounter more serious price reductions.During the negotiation, Fuqing Group will also face great passiveness.

After all, it is one's own side, not the other side's, that is in dire need of funds.The other party can sit there with leisure and procrastinate casually for a few days, so that he has to make a bigger concession.

At that time, the judgment of the outside world was also that even if the transaction could be successfully completed, the funds returned by Fuqing Group would not be enough to support the investment in rapid business expansion in the early stage.

At that time, many people were ready to eat the bodies of Fuqing Group.Many partners are either waiting and watching, or canceling the cooperation.

No matter how you look at it, this is a typical stupid mistake of expanding too fast and eventually leading to the collapse of the group.

But the strange thing is that during the negotiation on the sale of this commercial real estate, Wu Qingfu showed an extremely tough attitude. Not only did he not lower the price at all, but he quoted a price higher than the normal price without making any concessions.

If it can be sold at this price, then Fuqing Group will be brought back to life immediately.

But even if you think about it with your ass, it is impossible to get the other party's consent for this price.

Now that your capital chain is about to break, you are in urgent need of funds. You are the one who is in a hurry, not me. Why should I buy your assets at such a high price?
The outside world is also generally not optimistic.Many people believe that the bankruptcy of Fuqing Group due to a broken capital chain is a foregone conclusion.

But the final result was that after several negotiations, the opponent bought the commercial real estate at an obviously unreasonably high price according to the price Wu Qingfu offered.As a result, Fuqing Group came back to life, its business has also achieved substantial development, and the scale of the group has risen to a higher level, which has also surprised the outside world.

Another example of an acquisition.

This acquisition case is also very critical, and it is also related to the life and death of Fuqing Group to a certain extent.

It was a company that occupied an important position in the supply chain of Fuqing Group. Due to some accidents, its controller planned to sell it.

Because of the special nature of the business, if the company is acquired by a competitor, Fuqing Group will not be able to rebuild its own supply chain for at least a few years, and its business will be greatly restricted, and it will eventually suffer a crushing defeat in the competition.At the same time, if the company is acquired by Fuqing Group, rival companies will also face such restrictions.

The person in charge of the company thinks that rare goods can be lived in, and just wait for Fuqing Group and competitors to raise prices.But what is surprising is that Wu Qingfu only quoted a relatively common price, and refused to raise the price with a firm attitude, as if he was sure that the company's controller would sell the company to himself.

According to common sense, it is impossible for Fuqing Group's competitors not to seize this opportunity.But the strange thing is that competitors have inexplicably withdrawn from the acquisition.As a result, this company, which occupies an important position in the supply chain of Fuqing Group, had to fall under Wu Qingfu's control.

There are several similar cases, and every time, Wu Qingfu won the final victory unexpectedly.Fuqing Group thus ushered in a huge development.

Even Wu Qingfu's last decision was full of this unexpected style.

At that time, he seemed to be equally sure that one of his business lines could be sold at a higher price, so as to withdraw funds, prop up the fast-growing business, and take the company to a higher level.

All his arrangements seem to be arranged around this core.

But this time, he failed.

The negotiating opponent rejected the high price he quoted and rejected the deal.

Caught off guard, the capital chain was broken, and the huge group company collapsed overnight.He himself went bankrupt, turned from a rich man to a negative man, and died of a sudden illness shortly afterwards.

This is the end of Wu Qingfu's legendary story.

However, whether these events can be counted as "weird" is debatable.

These incidents seem to be full of legends from the outside world, but under the powerful investigation capabilities of the Operations Department, the truth is unremarkable.

The first case of selling commercial real estate at a high price, according to the data, Wu Qingfu saw the hidden strategic intentions of the negotiating opponents, saw their urgent need to expand in related fields, and urgently needed to acquire this commercial real estate under his own.

I am anxious to sell this commercial real estate to get back the funds. Don't you need to acquire it urgently to complete the strategic layout and seize the opportunity?

Since everyone is in a hurry, let's see who can hold their breath.

As a result, it was obvious that Wu Qingfu calmed down and got the most benefits.

In the second acquisition case, according to the data, the real reason was that Wu Qingfu saw that the competitor had intended to give up the relevant business and made a strategic shift.The so-called price hike is actually just an attempt to make one's own side spend more money to avoid competition in another business.

As a result, Wu Qingfu calmed down again, insisted on his own price, and finally completed the acquisition at a very reasonable price.

The other legendary business decisions all revealed the truth under the investigation of the second action team.And every truth is unremarkable, and nothing strange can be seen.

Perhaps, the only thing that can be regarded as strange is why Wu Qingfu's business vision is so accurate?
But there are not many people who also have such a superb business vision in the human world.The so-called business wizards exist in every field.

On the whole, Wu Qingfu is just a relatively good businessman.

And so the last bit of his eccentricity faded from its veil of mystery.
