114: Give me half a month to get into management.
Lei Zhen, escorted by the worshipful gazes of the crowd, left his seat to smoke in the smoking room.
Seeing no one in the smoking room, Lei Zhen simply pulled out his phone and called Zeng Ke, informing him that Tianxiang Investment Consulting had another 11 branch companies.
Zeng Ke was excited after hearing it: "It's still a fraud group? And there are another 11 companies? Oh my, Lei Zhen, the surprise you've given is too big! You're practically shocking me to death!"
"That's why I'm called Lei Zhen," Lei Zhen laughed heartily. "I now have a general understanding of the company's basic structure and specific fraud methods. I've also obtained the scripts.
Additionally, the company has a self-developed system called Y3. This is a cloud system that contains all of the company's customer data from the past few years, including their fund movements and so on."
"That's great! As long as we get the data from the system, we can close the net," Zeng Ke said excitedly.
Lei Zhen said, "But I'm worried that the server for this system isn't located domestically. If we act rashly, they might destroy all the data immediately."
Zeng Ke thought for a moment: "I understand what you mean, but to get their internal data, you need certain permissions, right?"
"Exactly," Lei Zhen said. "Just as you said before, I need to infiltrate the management."
Zeng Ke said, "But I thought about it later, and it might be a bit too difficult for you. We can't really have you undercover for several months or years, can we?"
Lei Zhen smiled and said, "Director Zeng, you really underestimate me. How about this: give me half a month, and we guarantee to get you the internal data."
"Half a month?" Zeng Ke was a bit surprised: "You can get promoted to management in half a month?"
"Let me try first before saying anything else," Lei Zhen's tone was full of confidence. "I'll do my best."
Zeng Ke hung up the phone, still pondering.
"Half a month to join management? Is that possible?"
Recalling the situation Lei Zhen had reported earlier, Zeng Ke dared not delay and immediately reported the discovery of the fraud den to the Municipal Bureau.
Gu Wenhai was so shocked that he stood up on the spot when he learned that Lei Zhen had discovered a fraud den during his exchange and study period, and that it might be a large group involving billions of yuan.
"It's Lei Zhen again? This kid, I really didn't misjudge him!!"
Gu Wenhai immediately called a meeting with the head of the Economic Crime Investigation Division and promptly established a Special Task Force.
Due to the seriousness of the case, Nie Wenbin, the head of the Economic Investigation Division, also invited Captain Wan Qiang from the Criminal Investigation Department to join the Special Task Force.
When Wan Qiang heard that it was Lei Zhen who had discovered it again, he immediately slammed the table: "I knew this kid was no ordinary person; he's stirring up trouble again!!"
Soon, the Special Task Force clarified all the branch companies of Tianxiang Investment Consulting. Indeed, as Lei Zhen had reported, there were a total of 12, including the head office in Rongcheng.
Moreover, these 12 companies were all located in first-tier cities across the country, with an estimated amount involved of no less than 3 billion yuan.
In other words, this was a large-scale fraud group disguised with a legal facade, but engaged in disgusting activities.
The Jiangcheng City Police Station also notified the Police Stations in the cities where the other 11 companies were located. After discussion, everyone immediately formed a joint investigation alliance.
The other eleven Police Stations also sent undercover agents to their local Tianxiang companies to collect evidence.
Because Tianxiang Investment Consulting's cloud system Y3 was networked nationwide, as long as one person obtained the cloud data from the system, a nationwide crackdown could be launched.
Quitting time arrived quickly, and Lei Zhen went to dinner with Lin Miaozhen.
Lin Miaozhen had also completed the task of adding 2 WeChat contacts, and she only needed 3 more in the afternoon to leave work early.
During dinner, Lei Zhen asked, "Compared to working at the Police Station, how do you feel about it here?"
Lin Miaozhen smiled: "You know, the work atmosphere here is much better than our Police Station, it's just that getting rejected so often on calls is a bit frustrating."
"The sales industry has always been like this," Lei Zhen said. "If everyone could be a civil servant, who would come here to be a swindler."
Lin Miaozhen suddenly asked, "Then do you think they know they're scamming people?"
"How could they not know? You might not have noticed, but the analysis teacher the company specially hired for live broadcasts, Xu Chong, is missing one hand."
"Ah?" Lin Miaozhen was startled: "He's missing a hand? I really didn't notice! What happened to his hand...?"
"He got it chopped off," Lei Zhen said. "I heard someone say that Xu Chong helped a triad boss speculate in stocks back then, and ended up causing him to lose thirty million yuan, so his hand was chopped off."
"There's such a thing?" Lin Miaozhen was very surprised: "And the company still hires him with a high salary?"
"It just goes to show how good this guy is at bluffing, right?" Lei Zhen smiled. "What the company needs isn't someone who can truly analyze stocks, but a fake master who can trick clients.
I also asked, among the clients who pay the company, over 90% lose money. And our so-called VIP, Super VIP, Diamond VIP services are actually all the same; it's just a different name for charging fees.
Do you think these employees don't know? They actually understand very well. During the previous training, Li Mingwei spent half a day brainwashing us, and everyone was already 'cleaned' by then!"
"Alright," Lin Miaozhen smiled. "Don't you think Senior Brother Shen and his Little Apprentice are both deeply immersed in their roles now? Especially Senior Brother Shen, I can't see a single trace of a police officer in him anymore."
As the two spoke of this, they both burst into laughter.
Shen Ao and Zhu Xiaojun had only added one WeChat contact all morning, and they were both a bit down during lunch.
Actually, Zhu Xiaojun had already added two, but to spare his master's feelings, he insisted on only saying he had added one.
Seeing Lei Zhen chatting and laughing with Lin Miaozhen at the restaurant across the way, Shen Ao was practically grinding his back teeth.
Zhu Xiaojun saw it and dared not say anything more, fearing being scolded.
Lunch break was two and a half hours. After eating, Lei Zhen continued to read and listen to recordings, because he needed to grow faster.
The afternoon work started at two o'clock. Lei Zhen had been continuously reading financial books for an hour and a half. Thanks to the Super Memory, he was now fully half an expert in stocks.
Now, when he talked to clients about market trends and such, they would be speechless, and he could completely trick them into submission.
Additionally, Lei Zhen had also mastered advanced sales scripts and techniques.
In fact, the scammers' methods were all variations on a theme. For clients who paid a 6800 yuan membership fee, whether they made money or lost it, they would be recommended a so-called 'more powerful' teacher, forcing them to buy more expensive membership services.
Even if you paid a million yuan, what you got was actually the same stock as a regular member.
And these so-called 'researched and analyzed' stocks were all chosen randomly by the analysis teachers.
Lei Zhen was reading when Xu Feng, passing by the library, saw him.
Xu Feng checked the time; there were still twenty minutes until work started.
He went in and snatched the book from Lei Zhen's hand.
"Big brother, how long have you been reading? If you had been this diligent when you were studying, you wouldn't be here working in sales today. You can't earn all the money in the world, come on, let's go have a smoke."
Lei Zhen looked at the littleFat in front of him: "Alright, do you have cigarettes?"
"Nonsense, of course I do."
