The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Time flies, and another day has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Cuie took out a bunch of keys from her house and opened the door. Her house wasn't very big.

The layout of a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment, including the shared area, is only about 100 square meters, which feels a bit cramped.

However, the fact that we can own a house in such a location is entirely due to the demolition of our old family home.

Don't be fooled by the large number of people living in this community; many of them, like her, moved in because their homes were demolished and relocated.

He's almost thirty and an only child, still playing video games in his room, not looking for a job, and he can't even bring a wife home.

She, as a mother, worries about everything.

"Can't you do anything productive all day besides playing video games?!"

“Playing games is my job, how can it not be considered a serious matter?”

Her son is a bit chubby; he's 1.75 meters tall and weighs a whopping 190 pounds.

After taking off the headphones he was wearing, he said, "Mom, I sold the watch you got back the day before yesterday. Guess how much I got for it?"

"how much?"

"85."

"Only 850,000? Didn't you say it could sell for at least a million?"

That's right... she's Liu Fen's very close old friend.

Zhang Cuie was unhappy when she heard the price.

Her son explained, "There's nothing we can do about it. Even though you got the watch, you can't resell it through proper channels without an invoice. The fact that someone would buy it for 850,000 is only because I have such good connections with people."

If you had connections, you wouldn't be stuck at home unable to find a job.

Zhang Cuie wanted to complain about him, but her son said he was about to win over that rich girl classmate.

This guy is something else; he just got 850,000 yuan and immediately used half of it to buy gifts for people.

According to him, as long as he wins over that woman and marries her, that's all that matters.

Then half of their family's property belongs to him.

His efforts today will be rewarded a hundredfold.

Of the things Zhang Cuie got in return, some were sold, and a large portion were given to that woman by her son.

If we stop now after investing so much money, we'll lose a fortune.

Zhang Cuie said, "I don't know what's going on with Liu Fen, but she actually took a Hermes bag out again today. Look at this style, how much is it worth?"

Liu Fen likes to show off, and she often takes pictures of her.

Firstly, to gain her favor, and secondly, mainly to take pictures of her things in advance.

It's good to source the goods from Guangdong.

Her son opened the picture on his phone, took a look, and then sent it directly to his classmate who specializes in counterfeiting luxury goods in Guangdong.

He quickly replied, "This is a Hermès Tanaka Ginza Birkin, the genuine product costs as much as $120 million."

$120?
Zhang Cuie was completely shocked. Why were just a few bags so expensive?
Her son immediately asked the other party if they had a 1:1 high-quality replica.

Guangdong has everything, it's just that prices are higher.

A high-quality replica of the same style, even at a super A grade, costs over 90,000 yuan.

None of this matters. As long as we can replace the genuine product, 90,000 yuan is nothing.

Zhang Cuie was an experienced woman, but she was still very nervous at first.

After succeeding once or twice, one's ambitions gradually grow.

The key issue is that her son was instigating her to do it.

Zhang Cuie waited patiently for the high-quality replicas from Guangdong to arrive first, and these past two days she's been increasingly eager to curry favor with Liu Fen.

Liu Fen wasn't stupid. She had traveled all over the country, carried heavy loads, and worked in state-owned enterprises and public institutions for most of her life.

She only needs to pay a little attention to immediately sense that something is wrong.

However, he remained outwardly calm and brought his daughter's limited edition Hermes bag to the party.

Two days later, Zhang Cuie invited her to play mahjong again at her friend's house.

Liu Fen took Erpiya with her, saying that there was no one to take care of her at home, and as her grandmother, she couldn't abandon her.

Zhang Cuie saw that she was not even three years old, so she had no sense of wariness.

She'd been eyeing that bag the whole time, and she'd definitely stop buying it immediately after she changed out.

I'll never do that again, no matter if her son can get married or not.

She doesn't want to spend her next life in prison.

Erpiya is so cute, she just sits there eating fries without saying a word.

After playing mahjong for a short while, Zhang Cuie said she was going to the kitchen to cook something for them.

He also asked Liu Fen to come and help.

Liu Fen naturally went; otherwise, how could she let people see through her? Erpiya was left in the hall to continue munching on snacks.

When they returned, Erpiya picked up the expensive bag her grandmother had placed on the chair and said, "Grandma, this one is fake now."

"You can't just say things like that!"

Zhang Cuie's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately rebuked Erpiya for speaking recklessly like a child.

"You, Zhang Cuie, know best whether my granddaughter is talking nonsense or not!"

After Liu Fen retorted, Chen An'an immediately led her men upstairs; this time, they had to catch them in the act.

In no time at all, they switched the serial number of the genuine product. How could that be possible if no one cooperated?

All you need to do is find one high-quality replica and one genuine item in this room.

So none of the people present were able to escape.

Because the police can quickly find out who the murderer is by looking at the invoices and the purchase channels.

This is quite exciting; it's the first time she's teamed up with her second sister to solve a case of switching clothes.

It can only be said that once you have money, people's hearts become truly unpredictable.

Having received advance notice, the police immediately sealed off the room and, sure enough, found the genuine bag under the bed.

The person responsible for switching the items was another close friend of Liu Fen.

There were three close sisters in total, and two of them betrayed each other.

Now it's all settled. No matter how they try to justify it, there's a fake bag that can't produce an invoice versus a genuine product that can provide proof of authenticity.

They were swapped.

This is blatant theft, and it's the kind with a very high value.

Zhang Cuie was taken away directly, and her son became an accomplice.

The funny thing is that the two of them quickly confessed, while the son kept shirking responsibility.

They believed that this was all done by his mother alone, and that he was just cooperating.

The perpetrator has been found; the next step is to track down the lost items.

Even Zhang Cuie, her biological mother, could quickly confess, and she kept pushing the responsibility onto her, while her beloved boyfriend...

But he refused to say anything.

The police had never seen such an outrageous simp before. He even got his own mother arrested, and he was still thinking about his girlfriend?

If the lost items can't be recovered, does he think it will take him at least seven or eight years to get out of this case, given the value of the money?

Stealing items worth tens of millions, by the time Zhang Cuie is released, she'll probably be dead.

Upon learning of her son's actions, Zhang Cuie first launched into a tirade of curses, then broke down in tears.

After crying, he immediately revealed the woman's identity.

What a load of bull! She's just a sophisticated green tea b*tch who knows how to dress up.

When the police found her, she firmly denied accepting the gift from Zhang Cuie's son.

She definitely won't vomit up what she's eaten.

If Zhang Cuie goes to jail, that's a matter between her and her son; it has nothing to do with her.

This proves once again that those who fawn over their idols can end up with nothing.

The case was not complicated to begin with; it was a typical case of a crime committed by someone known to the victim.

As the saying goes, wealth can be a powerful motivator.

Human nature cannot withstand the test.

Zhang Cuie herself must have committed a major theft, and her son is an accomplice who cannot escape punishment.

His classmate in Guangdong who sold counterfeit goods could only be dealt with by people in Guangdong.

When Chen Pingsheng returned, Chen An'an was still enthusiastically summarizing her experience.

Erpiya also gave herself a thumbs up for her little bit of cleverness.

That was handled quite well.

Everything was planned in advance, and they even knew to notify the police to wait there.

This prevented Zhang Cuie from taking the genuine bag away.

For someone not even ten years old, this level of wit is quite remarkable.

As for Zhang Cuie's family, no one would pity them.

Because every pitiful person has something hateful about them, and her son is no exception.

As for that woman, handing over the items might get Zhang Cuie and the others a lighter sentence.

If they really refuse to hand it over, then their whole family will be stuck in jail for life.
