Chapter 74: Sent by the Swindler Gang
This is nothing but a trap!
The essential requirements for a mortgage contract!
As soon as these two concepts were uttered, the entire hall fell instantly silent.
You could hear a pin drop!
Indeed.
No matter what method Mr. Wu used, at the end of the day, his aim was to buy their million-yuan equipment for just three hundred thousand!
And if the mortgage contract was not properly executed, wouldn't the remaining payment simply vanish into thin air?
No one understood.
So no one dared to speak, much less mock Accountant Mo.
If she gained even more favor as a result, wouldn't she take revenge on them in the future?
As it was, they could already expect some trouble to come their way!
“Lan, hurry and speak!”
Lan Yaoming was sweating nervously.
If there was a problem here, what would he be facing?
Total ruin!
Even if there was a sliver of hope to recover the payment,
he would certainly be caught in endless lawsuits, unable to extricate himself!
The mere passage of time could drain him dry!
He was panicking!
“All right, Director.”
Upon hearing this, Lan immediately stepped forward.
She looked at Wu Ya, her expression calm.
“Mr. Wu, according to proper mortgage procedure, you must provide the actual collateral! After all, a seal and a signature mean nothing by themselves. We don’t even know if your so-called mortgaged factory exists, and even if it does, can the factory truly authorize you to make decisions about mortgaging its assets?”
“So, without seeing the factory’s credentials and authorization, handing over the equipment to you so easily involves far too much risk!”
Hiss—
Lan Yaoming suddenly gasped.
The cold sweat on his body seemed to flood together!
Does the mortgaged factory even exist?
Even if it does, do they truly agree to the mortgage?
Everything depended on Wu Ya’s word!
He had believed it all without question!
Suddenly, his mind cleared.
Thinking it over carefully…
Of course!
If the factory never existed, and Wu Ya simply used a forged seal,
then he’d have sold three production lines for three hundred thousand!
If this was a scam, the remaining payment would be completely lost!
There wouldn’t even be a chance to fight a prolonged debt-collecting lawsuit!
“Mr. Wu, I believe our cashier’s advice is correct! After all, this matter is huge. It’s not just the livelihood of dozens at the factory, it’s my own fortune and life! So, what do you say…”
“Heh, what’s there to consider? This kid obviously brought a fake seal to scam the equipment! So young and so wealthy? I ask you all, having lived half your lives, have you ever seen or heard of such a thing?”
Lan Yaoming’s grave words hadn’t even finished before Accountant Mo cut him off.
Consider further?
Who knows what tricks this kid might pull next!
Lan Yaoming was easily swayed.
If he started entertaining doubts or made direct contact with the mortgaged factory,
Mo’s plan would be foiled!
So now, the most important thing was to seize this moment of collective suspicion,
and provoke Wu Ya with her words!
After all, calling a wealthy man a fraud?
That’s an insult to his character!
As her words fell, and with Lan Yaoming’s shift in attitude…
“Indeed! I’ve lived for decades, and I’ve never seen someone so young with so much money!”
“Accountant Mo is right! At such a young age, even if his family is wealthy, they wouldn’t let him spend so freely, would they? That’s three hundred thousand! To let him fool around, just how rich would they have to be?”
“Yes, that’s true! Accountant Mo is vigilant, no wonder she’s the director’s right hand!”
The room erupted in commotion once more.
Flattery, without restraint.
Those who had berated Accountant Mo moments ago now seized their chance to redeem themselves.
Whether or not this kid was truly wealthy,
Director Lan’s intentions were clear: he didn’t want to do this deal.
That meant he still considered Accountant Mo the most trustworthy.
Naturally, her words were the most pleasing!
So if not now, when would they pivot and curry favor?
“Director, I heard from a friend that a scam ring recently appeared in our Haihe Province! Perhaps this kid is the front man for that ring! Using three hundred thousand to cheat, extracting huge assets for little cost! Then selling them cheaply and vanishing without a trace!”
Seeing herself turn the tables from adversity to dominance,
Accountant Mo’s proud head rose once again.
She looked at Wu Ya, her gaze mocking.
Add fuel to the fire!
Her analysis was thorough and logical.
If this couldn’t provoke him or make Lan Yaoming abandon any thought of cooperation,
her years of rhetorical skill would be wasted!
Hasn’t she practiced day and night?
Without such skill, how else could she win over Yaoming?
Sure enough.
“Mo Xiaoyan’s words make sense! Mr. Wu—no, Wu Ya—we don’t want trouble, nor do we want to offend people like you! So, I’ll return your deposit now. Let’s go our separate ways, and keep our distance!”
After careful thought, Lan Yaoming finally decided to terminate the cooperation.
He even abandoned the honorific for Wu Ya, addressing him by name.
His words effectively branded him as part of a fraud ring!
No sale.
Returning the deposit was better than losing everything!
Difficult times were temporary; once deceived, there was no way back!
“Heh…”
A trace of barely perceptible triumph glimmered in Accountant Mo’s eyes.
This old fool had emptied both mind and body!
Once his assets were at risk, even the slightest danger
would send him into panic, preferring not to proceed.
Is it possible to do business without risk?
Big risks often bring big rewards!
That’s why he always had smooth sailing,
but even at forty, only had a few tens of thousands to his name.
If he’d been bolder, perhaps he’d be a prominent figure in Haihe Province!
With Lan Yaoming’s decision…
“Director, you’re wise! It’s right to promptly terminate the deal!”
“Yes, timely loss prevention is the greatest gain! Our factory must not be ruined by a fraudster!”
“That’s right! Refund him and let him leave; we don’t welcome those with ill intentions!”
A dozen managers joined forces,
their righteous indignation now directed at Wu Ya,
the atmosphere in the hall reaching a fever pitch.
What was meant to be a celebration of their cooperation
had become a denunciation of Wu Ya.
But—
“Hahaha…”
Wu Ya, in the midst of adversity, suddenly burst out laughing.
At his laughter, the room fell silent once more.
All eyes turned toward him,
filled with suspicion.
Was this kid driven mad by the exposure of his scheme?
Or was he dreading the punishment he’d face for failing his mission,
so scared his nerves had snapped?
As the crowd grew uneasy, uncertain,
Wu Ya’s laughter abruptly ceased, and he began to speak…
