Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

After hanging up the phone, Tao Wei threw his mobile phone away. At this crucial moment for profit distribution, not only could the trading company not withdraw the money, but his account with Polar Bear was also frozen. Wasn't this ridiculous?
His main source of income now comes from polar bears, which is also his biggest and strongest source of confidence. Now, his biggest base seems to be in jeopardy and very insecure!

"Brother Tao, what's wrong? Should we ask your polar bear friend to investigate? Getting angry won't help; finding the root of the problem is the best way to solve it!"

Dong Yong's intuition told him that this matter might be related to He Yuzhu, who also had connections with Polar Bear, and whose partner seemed to be Elena, the youngest princess of the Vinogradov family...

It has to be said that He Yuzhu was incredibly lucky. Vladimir stood him up, but he found a better partner, Elena from the Vinogradov family. Who else could come across such a great opportunity?

An opportunity that others might only see once in a thousand years, He Yuzhu could encounter in the blink of an eye. And the woman who went with him was actually Elena's best friend. How low are the odds of that?

"It's already under investigation. That bastard Vlamikl, he divorced such a good wife just like that, and now look what's happened! His revenge has finally come!"

"The Vinogradov family are idiots too. Vladimir didn't offend you, not me, Tao Wei. Why are you freezing my accounts? Is there no law anymore?"

Tao Wei, like a crazed leopard, kicked Dong Yong's sofa wildly. Polar Bear was his base of operations. If something went wrong, he would only have a few million from Hong Kong Island Investment Company and ten million US dollars from Swiss Bank. He suddenly felt insecure. Polar Bear had more than twenty million US dollars in assets of his!

A large portion of these funds came from the family's savings in the polar bear farm, while some came from the money he earned there. The problem now is that the foreign trade company has no working capital!
The foreign trade company earned him over two million US dollars in just a few months, even with Elena squeezing out his market share. In comparison, He Yuzhu earned far more. Where did a cook get such a great opportunity? I'm the lucky one, okay?

"Brother Tao, I've gotten a vague understanding of the situation in Polar Bear over this period of time. Now, the seven major families control Polar Bear's economy; it's not the Polar Bear of the past!"

"Therefore, the Vinogradov family has more reasons to freeze your accounts. They may not listen to what you say, do you understand what I mean?"

Dong Yong looked meaningfully at the furious Tao Wei. At this point, you're still angry. Shouldn't you be using your connections to find a way to smooth things over and withdraw the funds?
If He Yuzhu really did use underhanded tactics, then Polar Bear's assets will probably not be recovered at all. I wonder if this young master has any other funds elsewhere!

If it's just Hong Kong Island, then Tao Wei has lost his usefulness, and it would be too easy for He Yuzhu to take him over. Next, we'll see if He Qian will launch an attack on Tao Wei's investment company! An attack by an investment company can be described as simple and brutal. If you invest in a company, the other party can destroy that company, making your shares vanish. Isn't that brutal?
"I'll give it a try. I originally intended to hand it all over to Vlamikl, but human relationships are like paper—the more you use them, the thinner they become, and in the end, they might just disappear!"

Tao Wei couldn't let go of the matter of Polar Bear, so he made an international call to Polar Bear, hoping to understand and resolve the issue of Polar Bear's frozen account!
Dong Yong seemed to be deep in thought, hoping that it wasn't He Yuzhu who launched the attack; otherwise, he would have no choice but to talk to He Yuzhu about the situation in private.
At the very least, he couldn't let himself be implicated at this time. He truly lacked confidence in facing He Yuzhu's attacks. The Dong family's last strength couldn't be squandered because of Tao Wei's stupidity!

Unfortunately, Tao Wei didn't seem to get good news. The reply was still that Vladimir had offended the Vinogradov family's little princess and there was no way to resolve the situation!
"Vladimir offended the Vinogradov family's little princess, so why is my account frozen? Could you please help me communicate with Vladimir of the Vinogradov family and unfreeze my personal account?"

“After this, we have no further relationship. You need to figure something out. The company account will be handed over to Vladimir, but my personal account must be unblocked!”

Tao Wei finally said those words. The favor his grandfather had received back then had been used up, and from then on, he had no further connection with the other party.

If he wants to use this relationship again in the future, he must offer corresponding leverage; otherwise, people may not even pay attention to him, a scion of a declining family in China. That's reality!
Tao Wei helplessly put down his mobile phone, slumped on the sofa, his eyes lifeless, where was the confidence of a family scion?
"Brother Tao, what did they say? Do you think it's possible that He Yuzhu is behind this? He Yuzhu and Elena are business partners; such a large trading company is no joke, and the profits generated are not something an ordinary person can refuse!"

Dong Yong thought about it. Tao Wei was indeed despicable, but his downfall would not benefit him, especially with Zhao Long entering the scene. He didn't want to have any connection with Zhao Long. Now that Tao Wei was blocking the way, Zhao Long wouldn't bother him.

However, once Tao Wei is no longer of any use, Zhao Long might contact him to confront He Yuzhu. At that point, should he refuse or agree? He won't have the guts to refuse, and agreeing would also be a failure, since Zhao Long isn't a direct descendant of the Zhao family!
To put it more bluntly, Zhao Long is not qualified to represent the Zhao family. If it were Zhao Hai, he would be willing to risk his entire fortune. After all, Zhao Hai is the heir apparent of the Zhao family. Their statuses are different, so the resources they would have to contribute would naturally be different!
"Probably not. The Vinogradov family wouldn't freeze my personal account just because of He Yuzhu. How could such a large bank break its promise to its depositors?"

"He Yuzhu alone is not enough to make the Vinogradov family take risks. Even if there are trading companies that make money for the Vinogradov family, it's still not possible. To put it bluntly, He Yuzhu is not qualified. Do you understand?"

Tao Wei naively believed that He Yuzhu was not qualified to challenge the Vinogradov family, but he did not expect that He Yuzhu and Elena had an extraordinary relationship. Elena was the only direct descendant princess of the Vinogradov family and the future heir of the family!
He Yuzhu himself was unaware that the pregnant Elena had become a key protected figure in the Vinogradov family. If the baby was a boy, the son would be the Vinogradov family's heir in the future.
Elena will also become the head of the Vinogradov family, holding a high position of power. A mere stomp of her foot could cause a financial earthquake in the hands of the Russian bear. This is the power of the Vinogradov family, and the real reason why they could freeze Tao Wei's accounts with a single word! (End of Chapter)
