Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 835 All the bustling activity is for profit.
"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment."

The car window rolled down. "What? Has Mr. Jia changed his mind?"

"No... Um, as someone who's in the same profession, could you give me a ride? I'm scared in this desolate wilderness."

"no problem"

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Chen!" Jia Yueting's eyes showed gratitude as he reached for the car door, but couldn't get it open.
Chen Mo leaned back, closed his eyes to rest, and before the car window closed, he uttered, "Go to the one in the back."

The sensible Xiao Jia ran all the way to the van behind, opened the door, and found several burly men huddled inside. He glanced at the steel pipes under their seats and couldn't help but swallow hard. In the end, he gritted his teeth and got on the van, squeezing in among the burly men like a little chick.

The next moment, the black Mercedes and the Wuling Hongguang drove away one after the other.
The river surface shimmered under the moonlight, with ripples spreading out in concentric circles.
Only the puddle on the shore slowly dried in the night breeze.
It was as if nothing had ever happened.

"Transaction canceled. Don't ask why. The money from the other side and Xiaomi will be returned to the original payment method. The 'service fee' is just a waste!"

Xiaomi and Beyond paid a total of 96 billion yuan. As soon as the money arrived in the company's account, he immediately transferred 70 billion yuan out of the company. The remaining 26 billion yuan was used to cover the company's normal operations and to repay overdue payments.

This is where the advantage of Jia Yueting's accounting background became apparent, as he managed to keep almost flawless accounts.

Several years ago, when LeEco went public, industry insiders remarked: "The video website ranked 17th has the best financial indicators in the industry, it's like magic."

Only after dealing with Sun Hongbin will he have the opportunity to continue his journey. Once he reaches a foreign country, the sky's the limit.

Although he didn't notice any obvious signs, he vaguely sensed that he might—no!—been being monitored by Sun's people.

There's still a 30 billion yuan hole to fill, but he's confident he can cover that.

He then called his wife overseas.
"What's wrong? I went to the airport but couldn't pick you up!"

"Don't mention it. Something came up and I can't go right now. The 5 million you have is enough for you and the kids; I have other plans for the rest."

"Jia Yueting, are you crazy? We went through so much trouble to get the money out, and you want to transfer it back?"

"Stop talking nonsense and do as I say! Someone will be coming to deal with you tomorrow or the day after!"

"Only 5 million? Do you know how much it costs here? I have to support three children."
I'll only give you half at most! That's only out of consideration for our past relationship; otherwise, I wouldn't give you a single penny, and there's nothing you can do about it, we're already divorced!

"That's fake."

"It could be true!"

Hearing his wife's cold voice, Jia Yueting flew into a rage, yelling, "You son of a bitch!"

"If you keep cursing me, I'd rather die than give you a single penny."

"Halfway there is! Hurry up!"

After hanging up the phone, Jia Yueting angrily cursed: "Bitches are heartless, actors are ungrateful!"

You really shouldn't marry a celebrity! They'll pamper you when things are good, but they'll abandon you when trouble comes.
He had planned it perfectly. Including the woman's share, it would be 30 billion, which would be just enough to pay Sun Hongbin. He also had 30 billion in his offshore trust treasury, which would be enough for his expenses.

But the woman's sudden change of heart caught him off guard, forcing him to take out a portion of his secret stash to make up the 100 billion.

He had no desire to experience being drowned in a pig cage again.

After 2 days.

When Jia Yueting called his wife again, the amount he had originally agreed to was half of what he had promised, but it turned into a 5 million yuan breakup fee.

"Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"

Do you want a word?

"want!"

From this day forward, we shall have no further connection; let's part amicably.

The woman then sighed, “Old Jia, you have to understand how difficult it is for a single mother to raise a child. I’m doing this for our child’s future. I’ve checked the information these past two days. I’ve given you all the money, and it’s like filling a bottomless pit in no time.”

Anyway, the assets have already been divided, so you can focus on your work over there. I guarantee the child will bear the Jia surname, not the Gan surname!

When his wife ran into trouble, Jia Yueting called his older sister, since his family had helped him a lot in the process of cashing out.

But the stammering and ambiguous words from his sister on the phone completely brought him to his senses.

It turns out that when faced with the temptation of billions, all talk of spouses and family is bullshit.

Wearing a mask and hat, Jia Yueting hung up the phone and looked at Shichahai Lake in front of him. For a moment, he really wanted to jump in and end it all.

Another week has passed, at Sunac headquarters.

"Mr. Sun, the money has been transferred. Here are my identification documents."

Upon seeing the 100 billion yuan arrive, Sun Hongbin finally showed a rare smile, looking at Jia Yueting, who looked much more haggard than he had seen in just a few days.

"It would have been better if we had done this earlier. I never doubted Mr. Jia's ability to make money. You see, I'm still a righteous person. I bought 50 billion yuan worth of LeEco stock, and if I lost it, I didn't even ask you for it."

Sun Hongbin gave a wink, and his subordinate handed him a small package. "You keep your word, I have nothing to say!"

"The jade is returned intact to its rightful owner; Mr. Jia, please accept it safely!"

Looking at his own identification documents inside, Jia Yueting got up to leave.

"Mr. Jia, you still want to leave?" "It's just that there's a meeting at Faraday Future. Since Mr. Sun doesn't trust me, and the money has already been repaid, my meeting has been delayed for more than a week, which has caused quite a bit of trouble. I'll take my leave now!"

"Then I won't keep you any longer, Mr. Jia. Goodbye!"

After all, Sun Hongbin understands Jia Yueting's current predicament better than anyone else; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's surrounded by enemies.

Even if he lets Jia Yueting go, Sun Hongbin is not the only creditor of LeEco.

"Go, keep someone watching him!"

Sun Hongbin also wanted to see whether his fellow villager, whom he had once thought most highly of, would ultimately achieve great success or face a dead end.
At the very moment Jia Yueting stepped into Sunac, Chen Mo received the news.

"I remember Jia Yueting had more than just Sun Hongbin as a creditor. He positioned himself towards those suppliers."

"We need to force him into a corner, on the verge of despair, otherwise how can he possibly turn back from the brink?"

"...Uh...we should still send someone to keep an eye on them. I need someone with all their limbs intact; I don't want them to get crippled by those reckless individuals."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo returned to the conference room from the rooftop garden. "Where were we? Continue?"

Since Jia Yueting released that "Ocean of Flames" internal letter last November, acknowledging funding problems and halting expansion, LeEco's mobile phone, television, and other businesses have involved dozens of suppliers and agents.

Even if the manufacturer stops supplying the goods to stop the bleeding, the accumulated debts are still as high as several billion yuan.

Large suppliers are doing alright; although they've suffered significant losses, they can still weather the storm. But small and medium-sized distributors have been severely ripped off. They were counting on this money to survive, and it's precisely because of LeEco that they face the risk of bankruptcy and debt.

These people were frantic, like ants on a hot pan, searching for Jia Yueting without success. They were even willing to risk everything if they caught him.

On that day, news came from these companies one after another—the whereabouts of Jia Yueting.

They grasped at this like a lifeline, and unexpectedly, they actually caught this big fish.

"Brothers, hold on a minute, let me say a few words. If you think I'm talking nonsense, then you can make your move!"

Facing the encirclement, Jia Yueting stood awkwardly with his feet slightly apart, his head bowed, and one hand outstretched as if to block, still maintaining his boss-like demeanor.

Unfortunately, this time it didn't work. The leader swung his arm and shouted, "Damn it, what are you standing there for? Let's get him!"

The crowd surged forward!

A few minutes later, Jia Yueting sat on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, panting heavily. "Can you listen to me for a moment now?"

"Tell us what you want to say, and we'll hear it."

"If I wanted to run away, I would have gone to America to enjoy a life of luxury like those bastards who absconded with the money long ago. It's been more than half a year since the LeEco crisis, and I'm still in Beijing. What am I doing here?"

"why?"

"It's precisely because I've considered everyone's difficulties that I've been trying to find ways to raise funds during this period."
Why did I insist on staying here to get yelled at first, and now you're beating me up? Because we're all in this together! You think you can get money by blocking this way?

Who's most afraid of me collapsing right now? Besides the banks, it's you guys!

If something happens to me, the debts related to LeEco will be worthless! But as long as I'm still breathing, you have hope.

Can't you even figure this out?

So you should be the ones protecting me!

After Jia Yueting finished speaking, the creditors around him were stunned. They felt something was wrong, but also felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

Suddenly, someone pointed to the ground, at the various documents that had been torn and broken by the crowd in their emotional outburst, and asked, "So, you always have these with you, does that mean you're always trying to run away? How do you explain that?"

Jia Yueting clutched his chest, adopting a self-righteous stance, saying, "I just mortgaged all my assets to the bank and got a loan of 10 billion yuan, hoping to solve everyone's urgent problems. Now, things have changed; you might have to wait a few more days."

The leader who had just shouted quickly helped Jia Yueting up. "Mr. Jia, I'm sorry. I was too hasty. Are you alright?"

Jia Yueting sighed, "It's alright, it's not your fault. It's my fault for not communicating with you beforehand. But rest assured, I will definitely repay you all the money I owe you, with interest. I guarantee it with my reputation. If you're not comfortable with this, you can leave someone to supervise me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was indeed deeply moved and left.

Apart from the two people specifically left behind to ensure Mr. Jia's safety!
One night in late May, at the Grand Canal Park.

The two looked at the motionless human-shaped statue on the bench by the river in the distance and began to mutter to themselves.
"Hey, it's been several hours already. Is this guy thinking of jumping off a cliff?"

"I'm already losing sleep over owing millions, and this guy is said to owe tens or hundreds of billions. If it were me, I would have collapsed long ago."

"That's why people say that he's the kind of person who does great things. His mindset alone is something we can't compare to."

"It's okay if he jumps. I'm a great swimmer. I can make my move after he's had his fill of water."

"What do you think President Jia is thinking right now?"

"Who knows"

Not far away, Jia Yueting's pupils reflected the rippling surface of the lake.
There's no escaping it now; the debt must be repaid. Countless eyes are watching me, both openly and secretly.

Betrayed by family, reduced to being universally hated like a rat in the street, all the savings of decades have vanished in an instant.

At one point, Jia Yueting got up, took off his clothes, and neatly folded them aside.

With a splash, he jumped into the river.
