In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 554 Three Steps to Break the Stalemate
"If you replaced it with a beautiful young woman in her late teens, I might actually be very happy." Chen Qing's voice was accompanied by the sound of boiling water. After rinsing the teacups in the teapot, Chen Qing casually picked out three teacups and placed them on Yu Dawei opposite him and the two empty seats next to him.

"Huh? What does this mean?"

"Aren't there two others? Come on over, let's make friends." Chen Qing said calmly.

Yu Dawei didn't say anything, but directly gave Chen Qing a thumbs up.

This guy had been acting mysteriously twice, and both times he was in the same state. Yu Dawei didn't delve into it. Since the guy had guessed it, he simply called Lao Duan and asked the two of them to come up.

His second uncle had told him before that when dealing with Chen Qing, you shouldn't flatter him; the more indifferent you are, the better. That way, he'll think you're about the same level as him and won't lose interest after a while, looking at you like you're an idiot.

Yu Dawei remembered this well: smart people need to be coaxed.

Before long, Yu Dawei brought Boss Liang and Duan Dahai up. The three of them sat at the tea table, enjoying tea while recounting the events to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing listened patiently without interrupting, waiting for the three to finish explaining their situation, and also serving them fresh tea along the way.

"That's how it is. In the end, Boss Liang was driven to the brink and jumped into the Songhua River. He was lucky to survive, otherwise... sigh." Duan Dahai sighed as he spoke.

Duan Dahai had long understood the impermanence of life and death, but since they were friends he saw often, it was really frustrating that he committed suicide because of someone else's scheme.

"According to what you've said, this Pres Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. is quite famous in the United States?" Chen Qing's gaze was not on Duan Dahai, but directly on the protagonist, Boss Liang.

"Yes, he gave me a lot of their company's qualifications, photos of the company, and some operating permits in the United States." Boss Liang nodded. He also remembered the material of the paper, which was very different from the material used in China. It was smooth and very thick, and it looked unusual.

"The material has nothing to do with whether it's a big foreign company or not, and business licenses and qualifications don't prove anything either." Chen Qing picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "Our ancestors have lived for thousands of years, and there have always been many talented counterfeiters. If you want to make a fake that is indistinguishable from the real thing, you don't need to go abroad at all; you can do it domestically."

"Do you still have the other company's qualifications and related documents?" Chen Qing asked again.

"Yes, I have a copy of all the relevant qualifications, but it seems that the other party is a fraudulent company now, so even if I have them, it's probably useless." Boss Liang said helplessly.

"No, no, no, we need to know not only what happened but also why. Only by understanding how the other party sets up their schemes step by step can you find clues to break the deadlock." Chen Qing's lips curled up slightly. "I've seen this kind of fraud and embezzlement of funds under the guise of foreign companies before."

"Don't worry, with me here, I might not be able to get the money back, but I'll definitely be able to find the person behind this." Chen Qing stood up. "I'll call President Hou first and see if he can spare some time to help you with this."

"No need to trouble yourself, Brother Chen, I'll just call my second uncle." Yu Dawei had learned how to behave after going through a lot. Since he had asked Chen Qing for help, he naturally had to take the initiative to call his second uncle.

Yu Dawei went to the corridor and called his second uncle. He briefly explained what had happened on his end and promised not to take Chen Qing around, but only to consult with the other party and ask for their advice.

Whatever actions are needed later, Yu Dawei's people will cooperate. Second Uncle didn't refute. After hanging up the phone, he made a special call to Chen Qing and gave him a few instructions, mainly to help Yu Dawei and his brothers to find out who set up the scheme.

Incidentally, before hanging up the phone, the second uncle also shared his speculations with Chen Qing, feeling that the matter was not solely directed at Boss Liang.

Mr. Liang is just a distributor; the people who orchestrated this scheme know better than anyone where the real profits lie.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qing began assigning tasks to Yu Dawei and the other two: "Right now, you guys bring me Presley's relevant information and qualifications. I'll find someone who specializes in forgery to see if we can find out which sect made this."

"There are different factions when it comes to forgery. Some people use more sophisticated methods that look very realistic, but they can't stand up to scrutiny. If you look closely, you'll find the flaws."

"Some forgery methods tend to be vague. They seem clear, but if you look closely, you will find that they are all in a fog. You can see words, but you can't understand them when they are put together."

Upon hearing this, Boss Liang's eyes widened, and he was deeply shocked. In his memory, the qualifications of those people seemed to lean towards the latter.

“You still need to investigate Press more thoroughly. If you know any friends in the US, that would be even better. See if you can scout out the location in the photo and find out what that place is all about.” Chen Qing smiled faintly at the three of them. “The bigger the scheme, the less plausible it becomes.”

"They're probably thinking we're a bunch of country bumpkins who've never been abroad, that we couldn't possibly have gone overseas or know anyone there, let alone travel across continents just to investigate our destination. The more they think that, the more we need to do the opposite! We need to strike right where it hurts!"

Chen Qing tapped his index finger on the table, making a soft sound that completely snapped the three people, who were somewhat confused about how to resolve the matter, back to reality. It was as if they were in a fog and suddenly found a direction in sight.

“I do know someone from abroad who could help me find someone to go and check on Presley’s company,” Yu Dawei immediately thought of his boss, Ye Qian.

However, the other party probably wouldn't care about such a small matter, but Yu Dawei really didn't have any connections with others.

Duan Dahai scratched his head. If he hadn't met Yu Dawei in his life, he probably wouldn't have even left Heilongjiang Province, let alone gone abroad.

He did know a few Russians in the north, but unfortunately, they didn't have any dealings with the Americans.

"Alright, it would be best if you knew someone." Chen Qing leaned back in his chair and squinted slightly. For a moment, the room was quiet.

The three people opposite knew that Chen Qing was considering something, so they all wisely refrained from interrupting.

After a long pause, Chen Qing spoke again: "Nowadays, very few foreigners come to our country, especially to the Northeast. As you said, the Press Company sent a total of seven people for inspection, six of whom were foreigners and one was a translator from our country."

“Yes, two Black men and four White men, one of whom was a young woman.” Boss Liang leaned forward, trying to cooperate.
