The end of technology.

After giving the order, Tim Cook hung up the phone directly.Then he got up and made himself a cup of coffee.

The day's work is about to start again.

As for Ning Zi's phone call, it was just a small favor.

……

Xing Wenji was woken up by the alarm clock at ten o'clock in the morning.He sat up as usual, rubbed his face, and stretched fiercely.

Although he is only 40 years old this year, he obviously already feels that his body is not as good as before.

I went to a friend's party last night but played a little late, and today I feel that I don't have enough energy.

Still gotta get up.Because today he has a more important thing to do, and he talked with a friend about opening a high-end restaurant in the Bay Area.He has decided to invest a sum of money in it.

After all, his friend has been working in the catering industry for more than ten years. He has a keen eye and is also a career fanatic, so the chance of making money is naturally high.In fact, if it wasn't for the high-end restaurant opened this time, the various decoration costs are too high, and this friend has some financial problems recently, he would not have asked Xing Wenji to invest together.

Now basically everything is in place, all he needs to do is fill out a check.

I got up, took a shower, and then drove for more than an hour to this restaurant that has been named Joel Robuchon.

Today, my friend specially invited a dish tester to try the dishes, so Xing Wenji not only completed an investment with a high success rate, but also tasted the delicacies made by Michelin chefs for free.

"Hi, Mr. Huang, hello."

"Wait a moment, I'll talk about something here. Let's talk while eating later."

After saying hello to his friends, Xing Wenji found a table and sat down carelessly, and began to look around the decoration of the restaurant.

I have to say that the environment is indeed excellent. I roughly estimated in my heart that Lao Huang didn't lie to him in this regard. The decoration is indeed worth a million dollars.After all, labor here is extremely expensive.

But high-end also makes Xing Wenji feel more fulfilled.

After all, with his net worth, it's really meaningless to make small troubles.

The most important thing is that the business that made money in the past is not popular now. If opening restaurants in the United States can make money, maybe he can grow bigger and stronger with this friend.People regard food as their heaven.

After all, Laomei's money is not as easy to earn as Huaxia people's money.

Apparently his friend still attached great importance to him as a future shareholder, and he didn't make him wait long before he sat down, and then the chef began to bring over carefully prepared dishes.

An hour passed quickly while eating and chatting.

This meal also made Xing Wenji feel more confident. After all, he feels that his taste is picky, but the taste of this meal still makes him quite satisfied.

"How do you feel? Wen Ji?"

"The taste is really good, Lao Huang, you are good at catering, so according to the previous discussion, I will offer 70 US dollars, accounting for 40.00% of the shares. Although this is our first cooperation, I believe this time It will be a pleasure to work together.”

"Okay, that's it. I've prepared the agreement. Are you going to call a lawyer to take a look?"

"I'll just take a look at this kind of small business. We Huaxia people don't believe in that." Xing Wenji said grandly.

This is not an exaggeration. The investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars is indeed not a big deal for Xing Wenji, who has a net worth of tens of millions.

The reason why I pay attention to it is because I want to use this to start and find a more stable livelihood.After all, in this land, it is difficult for him to intervene in a business that can make a lot of money. If he can enter the high-end catering industry and become bigger and stronger, it is a good choice.

But that's for later.

Specific to this order, even if it is a total loss, it will not hurt the bones.

"Fresh, yes, then you read the contract first, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly."

Xing Wenji skimmed through the contract roughly. It doesn't mean that the other party didn't guard against him, but the contract did not cheat him.The equity and dividend distribution models are all written in detail, the only point is that he cannot dictate the daily operation of the restaurant.

Liability for breach of contract means that the money must be in place within the specified time, because the boss here is still anxious to pay the final payment for the restaurant’s decoration as soon as possible, and pay the corresponding brand usage fees. If it takes a long time, there will be late fees.

Fortunately, Xing Wenji had already planned to sign the check today, so naturally he didn't care about it.

So soon the contract was signed, and Xing Wenji signed a check for 70 US dollars again, and then got up to leave.

It's a pity that counting the time difference at this time, it's already early morning in Huaxia, and his father should be asleep, otherwise he can post a video to show his father that he can come to the United States to continue his career after retirement in the future.

Having eaten too much at noon, Xing Wenji planned to go back in the afternoon and have a good sleep again.

The girls at last night's party were young and hot, making people want to linger.

As I get older, I always think about seizing the day and night.

After all, in a few years, it may not be possible to play anymore.

After returning home, he changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed. It didn't take long for Xing Wenji to fall asleep. He didn't know how long he slept, but was awakened by the sudden ringing of the bell.

He opened his eyes and picked up the phone, only to see that the call was from Lao Huang.

Seeing that he is currently an investment partner, the sleepy Xing Wenji did not hang up the phone directly, but lay on the bed, squinted his eyes and swiped to the answering side, and said lazily: "Hello, Mr. Huang, what's the matter?" ?”

"Oh, Wen Ji, I'm at the bank here, and it says that there is a problem with your account, and the check cannot be cashed temporarily."

These words made Xing Wenji wake up in an instant, opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

"Huh? How is it possible? You call the bank manager directly."

Soon the opposite person changed: "Hello..."

"Hey, why can't my check be cashed?" Xing Wenji asked seriously after the opposite party had just greeted him.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Xing, I only show that your personal bank account has been frozen by the judiciary. Of course, this may be temporary. But this situation cannot be changed now."

"what why?"

"I don't know much about Mr. Xing. Of course, you may call the service number of the Ministry of Justice to ask for the specific reason. If it is a misunderstanding, you can even complain to them. These are your rights, but we have no authority to do anything to your account. operate."

"Okay, thank you, please return the phone to the gentleman just now." Xing Wenji calmed down quickly, and said with a suppressed temper.

No way, he realized that this place is not in the country, and his temper tantrum may bring him more trouble.

Soon, the voice of the partner came again on the phone: "Hello..."

"Oh, Mr. Huang, there may be some misunderstanding. Are you in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, you can wait at the bank for a while. I'll call and ask what's going on."

"It's okay. I originally planned to settle some expenses today, and it will be fine in two days. You can deal with this matter as soon as possible. I have something to go back to the store."

"Okay, don't worry, it must be a misunderstanding, and it can be resolved today. I'll hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Xing Wenji, who was completely awake, sat on the bed, and then found the service number of the Ministry of Justice through the official website, but he couldn't get through after calling several times in a row. This time made Xing Wenji feel broken. Hours later, just when he was about to give up, the call finally got through.

"Hi, hello, my bank account with the First National Bank has been blocked, and the bank told me it was because of you. I have always been a law-abiding citizen, and your actions have caused serious distress to my life. I Hope this can be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise I will sue you in court! You know, I am a citizen who lives in the third block of Los Altos!"

This is the wording that Xing Wenji had considered for a long time just half an hour ago.

Strict but not excessive, it fully reflects his anxiety and determination to protect his rights through legal means, and he seems not so easy to bully.To reveal where you live is naturally to make the operator on the opposite side pay attention.

After all, he lived in a well-known rich area in San Francisco.

"Sir, this is the phone number of the Ministry of Justice, not the local police station, so you don't need to tell where you live. If you want to inquire about the reason why the bank card was frozen by the judiciary, maybe you can tell me your name first. Follow the ID on your driver's license."

This made Xing Wenji lose his temper.

"Okay, I'm sorry, I was a little anxious, but please understand that as a law-abiding citizen, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing, so I am naturally anxious. By the way, my ID is XXXXX, and my name is Thomas, Thomas join."

"OK, wait a minute... Oh, unfortunately, Thomas, it seems that you are indeed in trouble. Your account has been reported and accused of involving a large amount of illegal income. God, of course, I can't help you Tell you, but don't worry, because someone will come to your door to find out. Want me to give you some advice? Whether you live in Los Altos or Beverly Hills, you better be honest when dealing with them, honest To be honest, otherwise you might end up in a prison in Florence. Believe me, you won't like the environment too much."

The voice fell, and the other party directly hung up the phone.

Xing Wenji was stunned there.

He suspected that he had called a fake number...

After all, who would accuse him for nothing?

Xing Wenji asked himself, he is a good person who abides by the law and pays taxes honestly.

However, before he recovered from his trance, he heard the doorbell...

Xing Wenji got up from the bed, walked to the living room, looked out the window, there were several men in federal uniforms outside, the only thing that made him lucky was that at least these people didn't have guns...

"Well, it was all a misunderstanding."

Xing Wenji recited it silently in his heart again, then came to the door of the room, opened it, and said calmly, "Everyone, there must be a misunderstanding!"

Chapter 142 If you have enough money

China, the pearl.

At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was slightly bright, and Xing Jianxin had just got up from the bed when his cell phone rang.

"Who is it?" The wife who was still lying on the bed asked dissatisfiedly.

Xing Jianxin put on his glasses, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, glanced at the calling number, and replied, "Calling from the United States."

The wife who was still lying on the side turned her body, and said dissatisfied: "This child, I don't think about jet lag, and I called so early..."

Yes, Xing Jianxin's wife is not the original partner. When the two got married, Xing Wenji had already left the country, so naturally he had no relationship.

But before she finished speaking, Xing Jianxin had already answered the phone, and then a voice of panic and panic reached his ears in an instant: "Dad, it's over, it's over, it's all over, something big happened, the U.S. Department of Justice The people detained me, saying that I was suspected of economic fraud, and they also sealed all our related bank accounts, what should I do now? What should I do?"

The voice on the phone was flustered, but his articulation and thoughts were quite clear, at least he explained clearly what was going on right now.

When Xing Jianxin heard the panicked voice, he felt a little dizzy from the "buzz" on his forehead, but soon the professor who had seen the storm calmed down and said, "Calm down first, how can I usually talk to you?" As you said, you should be calm when it comes to major events, so let’s explain clearly what’s going on. Why did the U.S. Department of Justice suddenly find you?”

Hearing this, the woman who was lying on the bed just now sat up from the bed and looked at Xing Jianxin who was answering the phone with piercing eyes.

"Huh... That's it. The agent just talked to me and talked about the fact that we opened the European Aipu University. He said that it was suspected of fraud because a company reported that its employees used the European Aipu University diploma. And caused losses to him, and then I was found. He said that the money in my account was suspected of being illegally obtained, and it would be very troublesome. If you take the initiative to plead guilty, sign, actively reconcile and pay the fine, you can forgive me. "

This rhetoric instantly made Xing Jianxin unable to deal with it.

Don't American companies have HR departments?

Didn't you verify your qualifications before hiring?

Do you think it’s okay if you don’t recruit this person for the school’s graduation certificate?What the hell is it to recruit people in and say that Wen Ji was found out as a result of diploma fraud?

After he calmed down, Xing Jianxin said: "Don't worry, Aipu University is not in the United States, and it happened many years ago. What does it matter to them?"

"No, Dad, you forgot that the United States has long-arm jurisdiction, and they can take care of everything that involves the United States. And they said that the victim this time is a domestic company in the United States. If the other party makes it clear that they want to file a lawsuit with me, they will hold Greater responsibility. Why not plead guilty and accept punishment to save everyone trouble, and let the prosecutor intercede for me. Otherwise, I may really go to jail."

Hearing that his son might go to prison, Xing Jianxin finally couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Okay, what did the police officer say? You have to ask first, if you plead guilty and accept punishment, you don't have to go to prison. How much are they fined?"

"Yes, Dad, they all said just now that I have no criminal record and good credit, so as long as I plead guilty, I can get a light sentence for me. I only need to do community service for a certain period of time to avoid all penalties. However, the amount of compensation is a bit high, about 2000 million U.S. dollars."

Hearing his son's words, Xing Jianxin almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

$2000 million?Are those people robbers?

This is hundreds of millions of RMB. He took such a big risk and made so much money after doing so many things.After all, income is not pure profit. You need to pay for some papers and signatures.

So Xing Jianxin immediately said: "2000 million US dollars? Are they crazy? Don't reconcile, find a lawyer immediately, the United States is a place where laws are taught, and this has nothing to do with them. I don't believe it can't make sense."

"Dad, a Chinese lawyer I know just left. When he came, he was still saying that my problem was not big, and he would definitely help me solve it. After talking with me, he went to talk to them again, and persuaded me when he came again. Forget about pleading guilty. He also said that it is easy to apply for running a school in the United States, and asked why we have not applied in any state in the United States... Then he said that he can't help me with this case... By the way, he was still secretive when he left I asked me if I offended anyone...God is sorry, I am careful here every day, and I have never offended anyone."

After hearing this, Xing Jianxin immediately said: "Then you accidentally offended who doesn't know?"

"No, my circle is usually so big, how could I offend people here?"

Xing Jianxin believed this sentence. Although his son has some bad habits, he is indeed not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble, so he quickly made a decision: "Well, tell me the name of your lawyer friend just now. Me, let me ask about the situation first."

With that said, Xing Jianxin clamped the phone that answered the call to his ear, picked up another phone on the table, unlocked it, and started recording.

He believed that since the lawyer could ask the question of whether he had offended someone, he should have already grasped some information, but it was just inconvenient to say.

"I always call him Jenny, his phone number is 001-0571-XXX-XXXX, have you written it down?"

Xing Wenji immediately said: "Remember it. I'll call you later?"

"No, my cell phone is confiscated, and I may not be able to wait here all the time. I will call you about how long you will be waiting."

"Okay, then you can call in 10 minutes. Don't worry, I believe Dad can handle it well." After comforting his son, Xing Jianxin hung up the phone decisively.

The woman who sat on the bed and endured for a long time finally took advantage of this gap to ask: "What's going on? What happened to your son again? What does 2000 million dollars mean?"

"Don't be long-winded!" After leaving this sentence, Xing Jianxin walked out of the bedroom and went to the study with two mobile phones.

……

"Thomas, have you made a decision?" the police detective following Xing Wenji asked immediately after watching him hang up the phone.

Although Xing Wenji couldn't understand the Chinese he had been using on the phone just now, Jack Lawton was not nervous.Years of detective experience have given him a wealth of experience, and he can easily tell that this middle-aged man of Chinese origin is a softie.

Not to mention that every phone call made here is recorded.If the desired result cannot be achieved, someone will naturally ask to translate the content of these calls.

As long as people are controlled, all problems can be solved.

And it's not the first time he's dealt with this kind of case.

This kind of immigrant with improper money can always be easily manipulated.If you scare them casually, you will often choose to compromise, unlike some old fritters.
