Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 233 New Scam
Pingyang County, a certain intersection.

Zhao Wenmu pedaled his bicycle leisurely towards home, Shihou followed closely behind.

After reaching a cooperation with the textile factory, Jingyun Factory is about to reach a new level. Zhao Wenmu is in a very happy mood, humming a little tune and shaking his head along the way.

But I saw a group of people gathered together from a distance, and I didn't know what they were discussing.

Zhao Wenmu suddenly became interested in watching the excitement.

In traditional arts, everyone has a gossip heart.

The two stopped their bicycles and stood around the crowd to watch.

"After the collapse of our country's dynasties, how many assets and precious cultural relics were transferred overseas!"

"Now the country urgently needs to unfreeze these funds to maintain the expenditure of the poverty alleviation fund!"

One of them was a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, wide-rimmed glasses, and a pen pinned to his chest. He looked like a state official.

Holding a document in his hand, he continued aloud:

"Now the government entrusts us to find a group of people with lofty ideals to participate in this cause together!"

"This is the corresponding certificate."

The middle-aged man took out a few small notebooks from his briefcase and handed them to the young man beside him along with the documents in his hand.

Young people show these things to those around them.

Zhao Wenmu stepped forward and took a look.

Hey, the background is really not small!

One of the documents is the "Agreement between the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the United States of America on Settlement of Asset Claims", which is a genuine document.

According to this agreement, the assets of mainland Chinese residents and units frozen by the U.S. government will be unfrozen by the U.S. government on October 1979, 10.

It is precisely because of this agreement that a lot of scams have emerged.

Many scammers swindle under the guise of "asset thawing" and fabricate the guise of being able to cash out huge national assets in those years.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man continued:

"You only need to pay a certain amount of unfreezing funds. After the assets are unfrozen, the country will return the principal and pay a reward!"

"The rise and fall of the country is everyone's responsibility! Opportunities are limited, everyone hurry up!"

Then the middle-aged man introduced in detail the assets under his responsibility.

"This is the proof of the bank deposits of Bai Shaoqian, younger brother of Kuomintang important member Bai Chongxi, and Feng Jinxiang, younger brother of Feng Yuxiang, in Bank of America, including US$1740 million and 4220 gold bars!"

"As long as you invest 20 yuan, you can get 200 US dollars in the future."

"Invest 200 yuan, and you can get 2000 US dollars and a gold bar in the future!"

The young people showed everyone a list of assets.

It can be seen that the liars have also carefully prepared, this piece of kraft paper is full of dense English, and there is a big seal in the upper right corner.

Zhao Wenmu suddenly became interested, and he read it carefully.

Unexpectedly, the English above is not a fool. It actually records that the depositors Shaoqian Bai and Jinxiang Feng deposited 1740 million yuan in the National Bank of New York.

Okay, very attentive!
Zhao Wenmu secretly sighed.

Then the young man showed a letter of appointment issued by the National Assets Unfreezing Supreme Administration, showing that the middle-aged man, Hu Guangbin, was the top person in charge of the Greater China region.

The bright red seal made the crowd more convinced.

"This is a gold bar sample!"

"Through our unremitting efforts, some deposits and gold bars have been unfrozen and returned to China. Here are some samples!"

The young man opened a suitcase, which contained some dollar bills and gold bars.

He blocked everyone with one hand, and only allowed everyone to watch from a distance, and no one could touch it.

"Gold bars! Really gold bars!"

"Huang Cancan is so beautiful!"

The crowd at the scene had never seen this thing before, and they were amazed for a while.

Then the two showed a series of documents with scary names, such as the United Nations China-US Affairs Coordination Group, the Supreme Poverty Alleviation Administration, and so on.

And more images of assets to be unfrozen.

Looking at the dazzling array of gold, dollars, emeralds, and jades above, the desire in the eyes of the big guys seems to have condensed into substance.

Seeing that the fire is almost ready, the middle-aged man said:
"Time is limited, we have to go to Quancheng City next, and we are just passing by here, thinking of giving everyone some opportunities!"

"There are only ten places in total. Comrades who want to devote themselves to the great cause of unfreezing national assets, act now!"

The young man immediately took out a small stack of palm-sized cards from his briefcase.

"Special ID card" was written on it impressively.

"Only those who participated in our special operations team will be issued such a certificate. From now on, they will be comrades, and more projects can be given priority in the future!"

Many people are eager to move immediately, for fear of being preempted by others.

Zhao Wenmu withdrew from the crowd.

As a result, the middle-aged man who called himself Hu Guangbin stopped him.

"Young man, young man, I think you have a dignified appearance and an extraordinary temperament. Don't you want to participate in our cause?"

"I can accept you as the general manager of Pingyang County!"

Others cast envious glances.

Zhao Wenmu gave him a cold look.

"I have no enmity with you."

"Why do you take me for a fool?"

As soon as these words came out, both the middle-aged man and the young man were stunned for a long time.

"Haha, what are you kidding?"

The middle-aged man laughed, but the young man was quite arrogant and unhappy.

"Committee Hu thinks highly of you, don't know what's good or bad!"

Zhao Wenmu glanced at the middle-aged man from head to toe, his eyes were full of provocation.

Having been refuted in front of so many people, the middle-aged man chuckled:
"Young people, it's normal not to have a long-term vision."

As if giving up this opportunity is really Zhao Wenmu's loss.

"Xiaoshi, let's go."

Zhao Wenmu waved his hand, motioning for Shihou to follow.

Shi Hou spat at the young man with a "bah".

The two left Shi Shiran.

After Zhao Wenmu's tossing, the atmosphere that the duo of liars had finally brewed suddenly disappeared.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of stupid and greedy people in any age.

A total of ten participation places were quickly snapped up.

The two scammers pretended to record the victim's family information, payment amount, etc., and then took out an official seal and printed it on the "special ID card".

Then distribute it to everyone.

The ten people who received their ID cards were elated.

The person who didn't receive it looked disappointed, and kept asking when the two would come again.

"How about this, Xiao Li, after you go back, you can apply to your superiors and dispatch some places urgently!"

The middle-aged man pretended to say.

"Leader, I'm afraid this is against the rules. Pingyang County's quota of 10 is already exceeded!"

The young man said embarrassingly.

"There are always more ways than difficulties!"

"The masses are so active, you find a way to solve it!"

Hu Guangbin scolded with a straight face, obviously dissatisfied with the work attitude of his subordinates.

The young man looked depressed and helpless.

After a while, he reluctantly said:
"How about this, whoever wants to participate can first hand over the money to me."

"In this way, when I apply to my superiors, I will say that I have agreed to everyone, and I will never break my promise."
