Chapter 339
"Everyone look, there's actually Fenghua brand clothing here."
"Impossible, right?"
"How is it impossible? Isn't the actor on this promotional poster Ning Ning Pingping? Haven't you seen the advertisement on the First Television Station? How could you recognize it wrong?"
"It really is. Fenghua brand clothing is actually sold all the way to Singapore?"
In the largest shopping mall in Singapore, Li Ye and the others stopped in front of a clothing sales counter, clicking their tongues in wonder as they looked at the conspicuous model advertisement in front of them.
The Peking University debate team eventually won the crown of this debate competition, and then they had a small bonus.
So everyone finally had a little money in their hands that they could spend freely, and naturally, they couldn't miss out on a pleasant "overseas shopping" experience.
As a result, after just strolling for a while, they saw "Made in China."
Li Ye smiled and said, "Why are you so surprised? Shouldn't you be proud to see your own country's products in a foreign land?"
"Hehe, we are proud! Let's go, let's go in and support domestic goods!"
Qin Qin Yongsheng gave a chuckle, waved his hand, and led the way.
The others followed one after another; everyone was wealthy now, so they had to "show their support" no matter what.
As a result, half a minute later, everyone was a bit dumbfounded.
"Why is it so expensive? Is this the Fenghua brand we wear?"
"How could it not be? Take it down and compare it with what we're wearing, look at the anti-counterfeiting buttons, look at the seven-colored woven labels... it's the real deal."
"But this... why is it several times more expensive than in the mainland?"
Everyone really couldn't understand, because at this time, the vast majority of export products were actually quite a bit cheaper when bought outside with foreign currency.
But the Fenghua brand in front of them was outrageously expensive.
Finally, a classmate asked Li Ye, "Li Ye, do you know why this is?"
Why? Because my trading company earned the price difference!
Pei Pei Wencong, under Li Ye's direction, acquired two foreign trade companies in Hong Kong and opened up sales channels in Nanyang; it was impossible not to make money, right?
"Ahem~"
Li Ye coughed lightly and said indifferently, "This is a market economy, so of course, we follow the market. Since it's marked at such a high price, it's naturally worth that price!"
"As for why it's sold cheaply in the mainland, the advertisements have told you clearly: export-to-domestic sales, the conscience price is higher!"
Everyone was half-believing, but a few minutes later, someone came over and spent money to buy two sets of Fenghua brand, paying cleanly and efficiently, not feeling it was expensive at all.
"It really is, Fenghua brand is truly a conscientious domestic product..."
Several classmates were very moved; they looked at the clothes they were wearing and then converted the exchange rate...
Incredible, incredible, the value of this outfit was no longer what it used to be. When they went back, they had to make a cover to protect it; even an extra wrinkle would make them ache for a long time.
"Alright, alright, everyone hurry up and shop, there's a social gathering for students from various schools tonight!"
Team Leader Zhou looked at his watch and began to urge everyone to hurry up and shop, not to get distracted and waste time.
The venue for the social gathering was at another hotel, which was slightly higher in grade than the hotel where the Peking University debate team was staying; at the very least, it had a swimming pool.
The students from various schools who had been sharp-tongued in the previous debate competition were now all smiles and polite, greeting each other and expressing their mutual goodwill, hoping that their friendship would last forever.
Only that He He Qiusheng, who had a bit of a crooked wind, smiled and said to Li Ye, "It's not the fault of the debate," clearly still a bit unconvinced.
In his view, the Peking University debate team had taken full advantage; the first round was a soft persimmon, and the second round was the most favorable affirmative side, almost placing them in an invincible position.
Li Ye smiled and didn't argue with him.
Debating each other in a competition might eventually lead to friendship, but if you tear each other apart in private, it's very likely to turn into enmity.
Whether there was any inside story to this competition was one thing, but even if there was, it was because of real strength. If your strength is inferior to others, don't expect to be treated completely fairly.
The luck of the draw is strength, and the dominance of the mainland is also strength.
What's more, the debate strength of the Peking University debate team was not inferior to anyone else!
"Li Ye, someone is looking for you!"
Li Ye was chatting with his classmates when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
When he turned his head to look, he was surprised to find Seeing Seeing Wen Rui'an and Pei Pei Wencong had come together.
Seeing Seeing Wen Rui'an walked up to Li Ye and said with a smile, "Little brother, congratulations on winning the crown, and even more thanks for the contribution you've made to Confucian thought..."
Li Ye said, "What kind of contribution is this? If we really want to discuss it, the contribution Mr. Wen made is earlier and greater than ours, and you should be the one receiving our thanks."
"Little brother, you are too polite, too polite," Seeing Seeing Wen Rui'an waved his hand and smiled. "You were busy with the competition this time, but you missed a lot of friends! Next time there's an opportunity, we must have a good chat."
Because Li Ye had to participate in the debate competition, he only attended two cultural exchange activities, which was indeed a pity.
However, Pei Pei Wencong said, "Since we're not having enough fun this time, we can hold one in Hong Kong! That place is more convenient than Singapore. At that time, I hope Mr. Wen and Mr. Li will definitely grace us with your presence."
"Hao~, you stingy guy, how can you be so good? What is your motive for showing courtesy without a cause?"
Seeing Seeing Wen Rui'an looked at Pei Pei Wencong, smiling and scolding him with sarcasm, not knowing if it was true or false.
Li Ye didn't want to see the two of them at odds, so he smiled and smoothed things over, "Mr. Wen, don't take offense. I don't know if Mr. Pei is stingy or not, but Mr. Pei's character is still acceptable, right?"
"Hahaha, that's true. I don't know what kind of luck this guy had; he suddenly became rich without cheating or lying."
"..."
Pei Pei Wencong was very polite and didn't hold it against Seeing Seeing Wen Rui'an, but in his heart, he smiled evilly: "What kind of luck did I have? You can't see the soaring luck right in front of you, can you? I won't tell you, I just won't tell you."
Li Ye had something on his mind, so he pulled Seeing Seeing Wen Rui'an in front of the crowd and introduced this famous person in the world of martial arts novels.
Sure enough, Seeing Seeing Wen Rui'an was very popular among a group of college students.
Some people don't like reading novels, but they like writing poetry!
Even if some students don't like reading novels or writing poetry, Seeing Seeing Wen Rui'an was now the creative manager of Hong Kong's ATV, which could be considered a connection, right?
After Seeing Seeing Wen Rui'an was surrounded by the crowd, Li Ye and Pei Pei Wencong walked to the other side of the swimming pool.
"Old Pei, you suddenly came to Singapore, is it because of the Youth Wu Xia Alliance... or..."
"It's for the matter you entrusted to me," Pei Pei Wencong said directly. "After I received your call, I contacted a suitable detective agency while booking a ticket to rush over. I arrived in Malaysia yesterday morning..."
Li Ye's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Looking at your meaning... you already have news?"
"Yes!"
Pei Pei Wencong said, "It's a coincidence. I went to investigate according to the address you gave me, Mr. Li, and it turned out that the family has been making a big fuss these days. Many things don't need much effort to investigate; just ask around at a small shop on the side of the road and you'll know."
"Making a big fuss?"
Li Ye's heart sank, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Tell me in detail!"
Pei Pei Wencong opened his carry-on bag, took out a notebook, and while flipping through it, said, "The owner of the address you gave me, Mr. Li, is Ms. Fu, who came to Malaysia from Dongshan more than ten years ago..."
"Ms. Fu is the niece of Fu Fu Yinglun, the boss of the Fu family company in Johor. She is now the general manager of the Fu family company and should still have some shares in her hands; she is considered a small shareholder..."
"Just three months ago, Fu Fu Yinglun died, so Fu Fu Yinglun's eldest brother began to fight for power..."
"Fu Fu Yinglun only had one daughter, but he designated a large portion of the shares and property under his name to be inherited by Ms. Fu's adopted son. The Fu family members all expressed doubts and even took it to court..."
"Wait!"
Li Ye suddenly raised his head, interrupted Pei Pei Wencong, and asked in a deep voice, "What adopted son? Which Ms. Fu's adopted son?"
Pei Pei Wencong was stunned and said, "It's that adopted son of Ms. Fu Hearing Fu Guiru! Didn't you ask me to investigate Ms. Fu Hearing Fu Guiru, Mr. Li?"
Li Ye blinked, and mist formed on his forehead.
Pei Pei Wencong was also full of confusion; if he had investigated the wrong target, wouldn't he be embarrassed to death!
Li Ye waved his hand and said, "You continue, tell me about that adopted son."
Pei Pei Wencong flipped through the notebook in his hand and said, "Ms. Fu's adopted son is named Fu Fu Zhiman, eleven years old this year. He studies at the best Chinese school in Johor and has been very spoiled by Fu Fu Yinglun's family since he was a child. His personality is not very good..."
Pei Pei Wencong chattered a lot, even investigating what kind of ice cream Fu Fu Zhiman liked to eat.
However, after he finished speaking, he saw Li Ye looking at him with cold eyes, gritting his teeth and asking, "What about Fu Fu Zhiman's adoptive father, what's the situation?"
Pei Pei Wencong shook his head: "Fu Fu Zhiman has no adoptive father, just Ms. Fu as his adoptive mother."
"..."
Li Ye felt a toothache, so he had to ask again: "What about the husband of that Ms. Fu Hearing Fu Guiru, what's the situation?"
Pei Pei Wencong shook his head even faster: "Ms. Fu Hearing Fu Guiru has no husband."
"What kind of stuff did you investigate? Fu Hearing Fu Guiru has no husband, then her daughter popped out of a crack in a rock?"
Li Ye the Great became directly irritable.
If you say that the kid who likes to "stab" people with his eyes is an adopted son, Li Ye believes it; after all, he is so ugly.
But if you say that the girl named "Xiao Ruo" is also Fu Hearing Fu Guiru's adopted daughter, Li Ye wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.
She looks seven or eight parts like Fu Hearing Fu Guiru; could she be a wild child picked up?
Pei Pei Wencong's cheeks twitched constantly, wanting to laugh but not daring to, and finally looked down at the notebook and said: "Fu Hearing Fu Guiru has a daughter named Fu Fu Yiruo..."
"She was born in the autumn after Fu Hearing Fu Guiru arrived in Johor. No one knows who her father is..."
Li Ye reached out and took Pei Pei Wencong's notebook.
"Give me a pen!"
Pei Pei Wencong quickly took out a fountain pen from his briefcase, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Li Ye.
Li Ye took the fountain pen and glanced at Pei Pei Wencong.
Pei Pei Wencong immediately turned and walked more than ten meters away, ensuring he couldn't see Li Ye's next actions.
Although he was very confused, what happened to this Son of Fortune today?
Based on Pei Pei Wencong's understanding of Li Ye, he could basically be described as steady and immovable as a mountain; even when facing a deal worth hundreds of millions, he was as casual and free as a high roller in a casino.
But at this moment...
Don't look, don't guess, don't look for trouble.
Li Ye held the fountain pen, connecting the pieces of information in the notebook one by one, calculating rapidly in his heart.
Fu Hearing Fu Guiru arrived in Johor in the spring of '67, Fu Fu Yiruo was born in the autumn of '67, which is a difference of nearly nine months.
Ten months of pregnancy, that...
Then Fu Fu Yiruo looks six or seven parts like Li Ye, Li Ye looks six or seven parts like Fu Hearing Fu Guiru, Li Ye also looks several parts like Li Kaijian; a=b=c, the probability of blood relationship is very high.
【Then when she left the island city... what month was it?】
"..."
"Old Pei, come out with me to make a phone call."
"Oh oh, there's our company car outside."
