Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

"That's a good idea!"

Officer Wu slapped his forehead and spoke somewhat excitedly.

At the same time, he sized up Lu Yuan and felt that the person in front of him was indeed not simple. Such ideas and plans could not possibly have come up on the spot.

Perhaps he already had some ideas when he made this plan.

When Lu Yuan gave this explanation, Qi Qiang, who was initially a little embarrassed, was stunned. Looking at the person in front of him, he subconsciously retorted.

"I also think this method is pretty good, but there's another problem: where will we get this kind of money?"

After he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.

They say it would take at least several hundred thousand to raise the money, and even if the police station were willing to help, they simply couldn't raise that much money.

Boss Niu was dumbfounded and could only look at Lu Yuan.

Qi Qiang suddenly realized that Lu Yuan discovered this because of his reminder, which made him a little anxious.

"Don't you have a friend who needs to buy some goods?"

"You're such a swindler."

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at him.

Wei Jianjun's money is no big deal, so why should he come here and take such a big risk? Are you out of your mind?

After he finished speaking, he pondered for a while before speaking.

"I'll do it."

"You're here?"

Qi Qiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then quickly spoke up.

"You're just a shop owner, do you really have that much money?"

"Whom are you looking down on?"

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at her and led his men directly to the bank to withdraw money.

I've been keeping the shop open these past few days, and after deducting some expenses, I still have about 500,000 yuan left.

When he came over carrying the suitcase, Qi Qiang was completely speechless.

He felt that he could no longer compete with Lu Yuan in anything, and that he himself would be defeated by Lu Yuan.

Upon seeing this, Boss Niu quickly stood up, grabbed Lu Yuan's hand, and spoke to Lu Yuan in a sincere and earnest tone, without any politeness.

"Boss Lu, if you can really help me with this, then you'll be my friend from now on. No matter what others think, I'll definitely treat you like a brother."

"Don't worry, Boss Niu. The reason I'm reminding you is because I don't want you to be scammed. With me here, this will definitely succeed."

Lu Yuan didn't tell his parents about this, mainly because he was afraid they would worry.

Officer Wu looked at Lu Yuan and gave him a thumbs up in admiration.

"Boss Lu is a really loyal friend. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do. Don't worry this time, we've got your backing. No matter what happens, don't be afraid!"

"We will definitely protect your safety."

Officer Wu knew that all he could do was clean up the mess and keep the guy in check to prevent them from escaping, but the key to this whole situation was finding that person.

Qi Qiang nodded repeatedly.

"This time, I will definitely stay calm."

"Let's go, don't waste time."

Lu Yuan said to Qi Qiang.

The group then got into a taxi to head over, while a police car followed at a distance.

Lu Yuan glanced at Qi Qiang, who seemed unsure of what to say, and spoke in a flat tone.

Tell me about that person.

"That man's name is Zhang Meng, and he's Chinese. He was a really nice guy when I was studying abroad. I never expected things to turn out like this."

Qi Qiang was filled with regret. He realized that knowing this person had not only failed to help him, but had also led him into such a huge mess.

If he had a choice, he definitely wouldn't have dragged Boss Niu along.

"Actually, this isn't your fault. After all, he was after your identity from the beginning and just wanted to trick you."

During this time, Lu Yuan also figured it out. Since the other party took the initiative to get to know Qi Qiang, it meant that they had planned it from the beginning. No matter how capable or resourceful Qi Qiang was, what could he do besides suffer losses when facing someone who was targeting him like this?

Qi Qiang nodded, watching the scenery outside gradually flash by, but he didn't know what to say.

"By the way, how did you determine he was a fraud?"

"It's very simple. If his imported goods are not from legitimate channels, they are either smuggled or counterfeit."

Lu Yuan understood this matter much more clearly than they had guessed.

"It's obviously unlikely that they would smuggle some imported snacks, so it's probably counterfeit. Such a counterfeit factory must be quite large, and they might not be able to do it. So, the only outcome left is to cheat people out of their money."

Lu Yuan was just saying this to them, but in reality, no matter what the answer was, it would ultimately be invalid.

So Lu Yuan was essentially comparing the process to the result, which didn't really make any sense.

Upon hearing his assessment, Qi Qiang was stunned and completely at a loss for words.

Lu Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile, "If those people were selling counterfeit goods, I might actually admire them."

Don't be fooled by the simplicity of counterfeiting; in reality, making a fake is much harder than making a genuine one.

He remembered seeing a news report about an old man who spent most of the night and 110 yuan to produce a counterfeit 100-yuan note.

For every counterfeit 100-yuan bill produced, the seller loses 10 yuan.

It is clear that forgery is never a simple matter.

Qi Qiang had calmed down considerably. He stopped the car, looked outside, and said...

"arrive."

What surprised Lu Yuan was that he thought the swindlers would at least be hiding in some alley, but it turned out to be a villa.

This place isn't the most expensive in Shanghai, but it's not cheap either, no wonder they feel cheated.

Qi Qiang rang the doorbell, and a man opened the door and came out shortly afterward.

"Why are you here again? Didn't you say the goods wouldn't arrive for another week?"

Zhang Meng's expression was unreadable, but his gaze kept lingering on Lu Yuan, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Qi Qiang hesitated for a moment, looked at the person in front of him, coughed lightly, and then spoke.

"This is a friend of mine who also wants to buy some goods, so I brought him over to take a look."

"That's all the stock we have in such a short time..."

Zhang Meng paused for a moment upon hearing this, a look of unease appearing on his face.

Who knew that Qi Qiang was quite savvy. With his back to Lu Yuan, he gestured to Zhang Meng, making a five with one hand and a zero with the other.

It means 500,000.

The man was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene. He seemed not to have expected this. When he looked at Lu Yuan again, his face became more enthusiastic, and he quickly made way for him.

He took the initiative to reach out his hand to Lu Yuan.

"Since he's Qi Qiang's friend, he's also my friend. We're all friends, so why talk about money? Come in and talk about anything. Business is easy to discuss. When you're out and about, having friends is more important."
