The World's Richest Man: Start with the Daily Intelligence System

141: Chapter 141 SubstitutionNext, the three of them sat in the car, enjoying the air conditioning, and quietly watched as two Indian men moved a truckload of drones into a warehouse that did not belong to them.

An Xiaoxi nudged Zhang Wei gently. ”Your method is too devious. But how are we going to transfer this batch of drones out of the warehouse? Our NIO can’t fit this truckload of stuff.”

Zhang Wei laughed heartily. ”Who said we had to move them out? I just went to check; the real Warehouse 205 is empty and hasn’t even been rented out. I just need to wait for the property management to start work tomorrow and pay the rental fee. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

Just like that, the two Indian men busied themselves for another hour, and by the time they finished, it was almost dawn. They left the logistics park, exhausted. Zhang Wei took Tang Yi back upstairs, endured the lingering strange smell in the corridor, and restored all the room numbers to their original state. Only then did they return to the car, ready to go home and catch up on some sleep.

Ignoring Tang Yi’s frantic shouting after being tossed out of the car, Zhang Wei started the vehicle and drove onto the road. On the way back, he remembered the one-yuan flash sale for the Rolls-Royce Phantom. He hurriedly asked An Xiaoxi how things went.

”Don’t worry, I made a flash sale plugin; as soon as their company posts it, I’ll snag it immediately. Let me see... alright, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is already in the bag.”

An Xiaoxi tapped on her phone screen, which clearly displayed the message that the one-yuan payment had been successful and the flash sale was won.

”But will they really deliver the car? I have a feeling there’s definitely something fishy going on.”

Zhang Wei said indifferently, ”Believe me, if that woman named Wang Li gives the car, that’s fine, but if she doesn’t, she won’t just fail to save money—she’s going to be in big trouble.”

”I knew you were cooking up something malicious again.” An Xiaoxi knew this guy had many tricks up his sleeve and must have a backup plan. It looked like she would be riding in a luxury car soon, and just thinking about it made her quite happy.

The two of them happily went to have breakfast, then returned home to catch up on sleep.

Compared to the leisure of Zhang Wei and the others, ”I Want to Be Famous” Network Co., Ltd., far away in C City Name, was in complete chaos.

”I really want to pry your brain open to see if it’s full of manure!” Wang Li shrieked, poking a female employee hard on the forehead with her finger.

The female employee was already crying so hard her makeup was ruined, standing there and apologizing incessantly.

The company had originally set up this one-yuan flash sale gimmick for a luxury car to build momentum for their transition into live-streaming business. They never intended to actually give away a luxury car.

The original plan was to arrange for a shill to win once the event started, and then just make a fake car delivery video. With this kind of online lottery, as long as the shill didn’t say anything, no one would ever know it was faked.

But as luck would have it, because of the long overtime hours, the female employee responsible for posting the event forgot to set a scheduled release and instead posted it online immediately after finishing it.

At three in the morning, the company’s shill was still dreaming of being a rich second generation and couldn’t possibly be online. The car was bought directly by an account from City Name.

The secretary on the side asked anxiously, ”President Wang, what should we do now? A lot of people online are questioning why we released the event early, and in the middle of the night at that. Also, how should we reply to the person who won the flash sale?”

”You’re asking me, so who do I ask?” She pointed at the female employee who made the mistake, ”Get out! I’ll deal with you later.”

Wang Li returned to the sofa, fuming. ”Do this: issue a public announcement saying we messed up the time, but considering it was our mistake, we’re increasing the luxury cars to two. When the scheduled time for the event arrives, proceed as planned. Just arrange for the shill to win the car according to the original plan.”

The secretary was a bit troubled. ”The event is fine, but how do we handle the person who won the flash sale last night? Do we really give him a car too?”

Wang Li shrieked, ”Is your brain broken too! I haven’t even driven one yet, why would I give one to him? Just buy a model and mail it over, isn’t that enough? Does he dare to mess with us?”

Wang Li intended to flat-out deny everything; even if the other party sued, it would take at least three to five years. At worst, she would just open a new company, transfer the business over, leave behind a hollow shell to file for bankruptcy, and she would have the other party played completely.

The secretary agreed and went out to handle it.

When An Xiaoxi woke up well-rested, she received a message from them. It read: ”Congratulations, user, you have successfully participated in the one-yuan flash sale event. You have won a Rolls-Royce Phantom model. Please arrange for shipment from the product cabinet as soon as possible.”

”There really was something fishy.” An Xiaoxi ran to the living room and showed the phone to Zhang Wei. She didn’t forget to complain, ”These influencers are truly scammers. Not only did the luxury car turn into a model, but the shipping is also cash on delivery—so stingy.”

Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow. ”Is there really someone who doesn’t fear death? Could you go to the trouble of finding their company’s dirt for me? No matter what, I’m going to let my little princess ride in a luxury car.”

An Xiaoxi also wanted to see the famous scene of ”Princess, please get in the car,” so she happily went to open her laptop and started typing away.

”Beep beep beep.” Looking at the phone, it was a call from Liu Haorui.

”Hello? Old Liu, was that wolf caught yesterday?”

On the other end of the line, Liu Haorui patted his chest and said smugly, ”When your Brother Rui makes a move, a measly wolf is nothing. Old Zhang, you didn’t see the scene back then. That wolf was fierce; the police didn’t even dare to get close, yet it was so agile and quick that it dodged several tranquilizer darts in a row. It still had to be me who subdued it with one hand.”

”Are you sure it wasn’t the wolf that subdued you?” Zhang Wei felt this tall tale was way too outrageous.

”Why would I lie to you? Just wait for the video to be released this afternoon and you can see it for yourself.”

There seemed to be reporters waiting to interview Liu Haorui on the other end. Zhang Wei could only hang up the phone, half-believing him.

An Xiaoxi had also finished her investigation by this time. ”Done. This company’s firewall is like a sieve. Their skill level might not even be as good as a front desk clerk at an internet cafe.”

Zhang Wei leaned over and saw a massive amount of evidence of illegal activities by the ”I Want to Be Famous” Network Co., Ltd. Not to mention tax evasion, they were also involved in illegal money laundering, and the contracts for the influencers under their banner when signing with other companies contained numerous yin-yang contracts.

”Does this company scam even the employees they trained themselves? Where on earth do they get the confidence to pocket a Rolls-Royce Phantom?”

Faced with so much hard evidence, Zhang Wei chose a direct confrontation. He dialed Wang Li’s number directly.

”Is this Wang Li?” Zhang Wei didn’t need to be polite to scum like this.

”Who are you? I don’t buy insurance or houses.” The tone on the other end was very aggressive, with the attitude that even if the King of Heaven came, he’d still be her underling.

Zhang Wei sneered. I hope you can still be this arrogant later.

”I am the owner who successfully won the Rolls-Royce Phantom in the flash sale. Just now, customer service said what I won was a car model. Do you know about this?”

Wang Li was stunned for a moment and looked uncertainly at the Apple phone in her hand. This was her private number; how did this person call here?

However, she didn’t restrain herself at all; instead, she angrily interrogated Zhang Wei, ”You dare to look up my phone number? Do you believe I’ll call the police and have you arrested right now?”

Zhang Wei was dumbfounded; could it be that she was reading from the wrong script?

Looking at the pile of evidence of crimes and illegal activities in front of him, Zhang Wei suddenly had a ridiculous feeling. Who gave this woman the courage? How dare she turn the tables and accuse him?
