Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1923: Two Knives Make Things Go Wrong
"The world and technology are all about inheritance. I admit that you have worked hard, but you have only been catching up over the years. There is almost nothing you have truly innovated. This is undeniable."

"This thing you're talking about is the same as the energy field, energy wave, energy pot, and qigong that many people in your country talk about. It's just to make money, and you want us to invest."

"As a manager, we all understand each other. I think you can understand what I mean, so if you want to do this, I can help, but we need to talk about the profit."

"I have been in contact with the synthetic paper project you did in Central Asia. It was a huge scam. Jia Ru and Qu Bo approached me and I also invested in a project. The total value was more than 30 million RMB. They showed me the initial project schedule and I paid a lot of money. Now they have disappeared."

"I checked and found that your company is responsible for this project and is still working on it, so I can say responsibly that you are actually still defrauding people. Since you are defrauding people, why don't we all do it together and don't treat us as fools..."

Ji Donglai was speechless after hearing what Nick said, and he almost got angry. It was not until he mentioned Jia Ru and Qu Bo that Ji Donglai woke up from his dream and thought that these two were harming the country.

It was a very good project. Jia Ru and Qu Bo saw Ji Donglai's success, and then used the problematic drawings of Bay Alliance to do the project. In the process, they made endless simplifications in pursuit of profits. It would have been a disaster if the project was completed.

Now that he has to bear the consequences, Ji Donglai really wants to catch these two scammers and roast them over the fire.

In fact, both Qu Bo and Jia Ru are having a hard time now, especially Qu Bo.

"what……"

In a dark basement, the man with tattoos clamped Qu Bo's flesh with a pair of clamps and then turned on the electricity, causing Qu Bo to convulse instantly.

"Where's Jia Ru?"

On the other side, a man was eating in an electric grill with a cold look in his eyes.

As a die-hard fan of Jia Ru, Qu Bo had reaped many benefits. He was almost killed after being caught by Kan Changshun, but he escaped by chance. He should have succeeded in escaping, but he was caught again.

The other party now even wants to die. He has been tortured for several days and nights and is speechless.

"Brother, I really don't know. After we returned to China, Jia Ru disappeared. That bitch still owes me money. I really wronged you, brother..."

Looking at the fire over there, Qu Bo's eyes began to plead. The other party's chopsticks holding the barbecue stopped in the air and looked back at Qu Bo.

"I don't know if Jia Ru can do it. Where is Jia Ru's huge funds? You are a team and you must know that my boss's patience is limited. You have swindled so much money from Central Asia, you must have an account, and taking it out may save your life."

"Qu Bo, you have to know that some money is hot to handle. My boss has seen all kinds of storms and waves, and you still want to run away after eating it? Jia Ru, that pig, really thinks that his pig brain can outsmart us. You may not even know where you are now..."

The man tilted his head towards the guard, who pressed a switch and a wall slowly opened.

The waves were raging outside, and the sight was endless with water. Qu Bo was blinded by the glaring sunlight and didn't open his eyes for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, he was alert and despair appeared in his eyes. A group of megalodon sharks were swimming back and forth on the water. The man signaled to his men, and they threw a live sheep into the water. In an instant, the water surface turned red, and the goat's limbs flew around for a while before the water surface became calm.

"They can eat goats or humans. Do you know what kind of animal meat is the favorite of carnivores in this world? Human flesh!"

The other party gave Qu Bo a sinister smile, and Qu Bo felt unwell all over.

"I really... I know Jia Ru has an account, which is a large-denomination certificate of deposit. She said at the beginning that her own funds could not be withdrawn, so most of the money was from me."

"You find his parents, and then you can get the money. I swear, I didn't lie about this. Jia Ru said that's where their funds are stored."

"That bitch cheated on everyone, including me, wuwu...Brother, please forgive me. I'm just her lackey, cough cough..."

People's fear of death comes from the heart. Looking at the sharks swimming back and forth, Qu Bo knew that he had followed the wrong boss, and more importantly, he had done the wrong thing.

The man narrowed his eyes and winked at several people in the room. They put Qu Bo down and went to the next area to make a phone call.

Nick finished his chattering when Ji Donglai came over. Ji Donglai poured him a cup of tea made with spring water. The waiter brought cherries, dried apricots and cantaloupe.

"Mr. Nick, I cannot deny that the situation you described does exist in the industry. But please don't question my project, including the synthetic paper project. We have done it without any problems. Now both the product and the market are established."

"It's not the first time that our synthetic paper project has been used to defraud people. We busted one in China, and the agent of that group is still in prison eating steamed bread."

"Jia Ru is a very smart person, but now he's running away! Because they don't have our core technology, they can't do it. Similarly, we can't give our current power generation technology to anyone easily. As for the outside world's doubts, we don't care."

"As long as we succeed, the rumors will be dispelled automatically. You said you want to do this project, and I can see that you are still skeptical. So I suggest you don't do it yet. Let's see how it goes. If it's really suitable, it won't be too late to do it later."

"If you find it difficult to accept this project, then don't do it. Your inner resistance will not turn into action."

"As for saying that the world's most advanced technologies are all in Europe and the United States, that's also a joke. Twenty years ago, I had the same opinion as you, but now... haha! China is now leading the world in 5G, and there are many other technologies, such as high-speed rail."

"We are not overtaking others, but exploring new areas. Before the invention of arc welding, people believed that riveting and forging welding were the best technologies in the world. What happened after the invention of arc welding?"

"Believe in science, but don't be superstitious about scientists and the ownership of science. This is what we should do, Mr. Nick. We allow questions to be raised, but we are not in a hurry to explain. We have done it, just wait and see!"

Leaving Nick with a frown on his face, Ji Donglai walked towards the conference center. Behind him, Nick followed Ji Donglai's figure with his eyes narrowed into a line.
