107: Chapter 106 Almost Missed Out on 30 Million, Conspiracy

"Lin Feng, do you remember selling a domain name a while back?"

"A domain name..."

Lin Feng had sold many domain names, and he didn't know which one she was referring to.

"JD, have you forgotten?"

Lin Feng suddenly realized; no wonder he felt this courier company was somewhat familiar.

It turned out he had traded a domain name with them in the early days.

Back then, his business hadn't really taken off, and he had only sold that domain for a hundred or two hundred thousand.

However, for him at that time, it was already a huge sum of money.

"Was it you who was chatting with me online back then?"

"Yeah, we even have each other on QQ."

She opened her mobile QQ, and Lin Feng's profile picture appeared in her contact list.

Her screen name was quite unique, called Baixiaosheng.

Lin Feng remembered instantly.

All his confusion was cleared up.

"Hehe, we really do have a connection."

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief; as long as she wasn't a crazed fan, it was fine.

He really felt now that he had been putting too much strain on his kidneys lately.

"Lin Feng, I'm also a graduate of Shen University."

"Sigh, if I were a few years younger and met you, how great it would be to work for you."

"You can join now, too; your company is already going under."

"Our boss said he's clearing out this place; he wants to try his luck somewhere else."

"So are you going with him? Still doing courier work?"

"No, he said he wants to do e-commerce."

Lin Feng chuckled inwardly; this boss was stubborn.

In this era of e-commerce, Ma from Hangzhou is a god, and below him is JD, followed by Pinduoduo later on.

Even that guy from Shenzhen was beaten until he lost his armor and fled.

Wait...

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something.

JD... Jida... JD...

Lin Feng's brain buzzed, and his pupils contracted violently.

He was indeed short on money back then, and the system intelligence had only given a price of a hundred or two hundred thousand.

But nothing is absolute; this domain name should have been highly compatible with JD.

Back then, someone from JD had approached him to buy a different domain name.

Lin Feng vaguely remembered that the domain name JD would be acquired by JD in a few years, and the price would be very high.

Could it be that he had missed out on it?

Lin Feng looked up again, and a piece of intelligence that shocked him appeared above Huo Xiaoxiao's head.

The content of the intelligence was completely consistent with his own vague memory.

[Holding a domain name worth 30 million without knowing it; currently, the domain name is idle, Jida Express is about to go bankrupt, the domain name will be abandoned, and after changing hands several times, it will be acquired by JD for 30 million in 2013.]

Lin Feng swallowed hard; he had been feeling so smug before.

If he found out two years later that JD had bought this domain for 30 million, he would regret it to death.

In any era, no matter how big a shot you are, even if you are the richest person in China, you couldn't ignore 30 million.

Lin Feng felt a lingering fear; he had relied too much on his cheat, to the point of becoming a bit arrogant.

In the future, when encountering such situations, he would have to accurately confirm the value to be safe.

"Lin Feng? Lin Feng?"

"Oh... I was just thinking about something, sorry."

"It's okay, it's really nice to meet you."

"By the way, your courier company is shutting down, are you still using the domain name?"

"No, it's just sitting idle. God knows what the boss is thinking."

"Aren't you planning to resign?"

"Forget it, the boss isn't having an easy time either, and he owes me three months' salary. I can't just run away; I can't just give up the money, right?"

Asking about the domain name now seemed too abrupt.

It would easily make people suspicious and wouldn't be worth it.

But looking at 30 million and not taking it was really messed up; it would be a disgrace to the title of a cheater.

He had to find a seemingly appropriate reason.

[A simple girl owed three months' salary. To avoid the aftermath of the courier company's bankruptcy, the legal representative of Jida Express will be changed to Huo Xiaoxiao. After the bankruptcy, the courier company will have a large number of lost and damaged packages, involving an amount of 500,000. After becoming the legal representative, Huo Xiaoxiao will bear all the debts, and she is unaware of this.]

Damn...

This boss is truly heartless.

Not only does he want to withhold wages, but he also wants to make the employee take the fall.

So the 100,000 he spent hiring an outsourcing company to deliver the goods seems to be fake.

"Lin Feng, I have to go to work now. If there's a chance in the future, I really hope I can come work at your company."

"That works. We have each other on QQ anyway, let's keep in touch."

Huo Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Lin Feng, feeling like she hadn't said enough, and walked toward the door.

[Within two days, she will be deeply mired in a debt crisis. A vibrant, motivated young person will be crushed. If she can't pay, she will face imprisonment, and the rest of her life will be completely ruined. The key to solving the problem is simple: as long as you pay the compensation, she can escape the pit without risk.]

[A girl who knows how to repay kindness, understands gratitude, and has correct values. By providing help and saving her from danger, you can gain a girl with 100 loyalty who would unconditionally gift you the domain even if she knew its true value.]

Interesting...

Cleverness may overreach itself; people who play schemes and tricks are indeed unworthy of heaven-sent wealth.

This way, he could logically take over the domain name and also gain an excellent employee.

Lin Feng even thought about testing the waters in the courier industry.

In this day and age, sending a package still requires calling a courier; if he could lay the groundwork for internet-based courier services early...

The corners of his mouth curled up, his heart surging with excitement.

It looks like he'll have to keep up the charade here for a few more days.

Huo Xiaoxiao entered the stairwell, and the phone in her pocket rang.

"Hello, Boss, sorry, I was upstairs saying hello to other tenants, I'll be down right away."

"Xiao Huo, it's fine. The company is about to close, and I'm quite gratified that you can still stay to help."

"Boss, don't say that. I believe we can definitely get through this difficult time."

"Xiao Huo, because I want to register a new company, there are still some problems with this courier company that need to be handled, but I can't wait anymore."

"How about this, can I temporarily transfer the legal representation to you?"

"Ah... transfer the legal representation to me? This... this isn't appropriate, is it?"

"Hey, don't overthink it. I trust you a lot, and since the company is closing anyway, there won't be any money-related entanglements. It'll be fine."

"Boss, but..."

"Xiao Huo, do you have any concerns?"

"I... no concerns, I was just worried if it would have any impact on you."

"It won't have any impact on me. Then it's settled. Bring your ID card, and come with me to the Administration for Industry and Commerce this afternoon."

"Mm, okay."

Huo Xiaoxiao hung up the phone and thought about it; it seemed that there really wouldn't be any problems.

Besides, there were still seventy or eighty thousand in the public account; if anyone should be worried, it should be the boss.

Thinking of this, her worries vanished, and she walked quickly toward the company floor.

Inside the office, Ding Jianping put down the phone, let out a breath of stale air, his eyes full of joy.

Tonight, he would disappear, and by then, Huo Xiaoxiao would bear all the responsibility.

As for whether she lived or died, what did that have to do with him?

"Boss, what about the packages shipped down?"

"Get a truck, just throw them away."

"Boss, since you're making Huo Xiaoxiao take the blame, there's no need to throw away these packages."

"Hehe, if I left the packages here, do you think she would agree to change the legal representative?"

"Do you expect me to wait for those customers to come and pick up their packages? Doesn't that cost money?"

"We'll take the valuable things in the packages, and let Huo Xiaoxiao bear the rest."
