Chapter 554: Five hundred and forty-nine The most failed investment_1

"Boss Gu, if something like this happens again in the future, you must take us with you. These are troubled times," Poison Hand said with evident concern to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded. Today’s events had indeed prompted him to become more cautious.

When he got back home, the crisis had been averted.

All six of them had left, and Gu Chen told Ji Pianran to hurry back and get some sleep.

He sat on the sofa alone, carefully recalling the words Liu Dahai had said earlier.

All this shocking news had left Gu Chen reeling for a long time.

He didn’t know which part of it was true and which was false.

But one thing he was sure of was that the matter concerning Wu Dazhu must be true.

He turned on his computer.

Although the internet wasn’t very developed at that time, there were still some websites.

He searched for recent news about Chuan City Bank.

However, there was almost no reporting on Chuan City Bank online.

There was only one piece of news from six months ago about Chuan City Bank.

"Jinfang Airlines bankruptcy announcement... Chuan City Bank heavy investment..."

This single report was the only connection to Chuan City Bank.

Gu Chen opened it and read through it carefully.

The results indeed held some new insights for him.

Not long ago, Chuan City Bank had truly invested tens of millions in the aviation industry.

It was Jinfang Airlines, a local airline in Chuan City.

Gu Chen even searched for the investment background of this Jinfang Airlines.

Those who invested in Jinfang Airlines were not simple entities; they included other banks and many well-known domestic venture capital firms.

The largest investment came from Chuan City Bank.

They poured in a whopping 32.6 million yuan!

The prospects for Jinfang Airlines looked very bright.

But unexpectedly, the boss of Jinfang Airlines suddenly disappeared.

As he vanished, he took all the money with him.

In an instant, Jinfang Airlines became an empty shell.

It collapsed completely.

And with that, Chuan City Bank stood record for the biggest investment failure in Chuan City to date.

"Really, so all of it is true?" Gu Chen stared at the news on the web page.

Was all this a trap set by Wei Tianfu? Did he not only cheat Tiang Fu but also deceive other investors?

If this was really the work of Wei Tianfu, then his tactics were horrifying.

It was as if he intended to completely bankrupt Tian Fu.

Gu Chen shut down the computer.

He tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.

Only when dawn broke did Gu Chen rise from his bed.

He decided to go and talk to Wei Tianfu about Liu Dahai’s visit yesterday.

No matter how you slice it, it was essential to inform Wei Tianfu about the matter.

Of course, it would be even better if he could subtly inquire about the answers he wanted to know.

After cooking breakfast for the eight of them, Gu Chen left first.

Now that both cars had been given to Ji Pianran, he needed some means of transportation.

If he were alone, even a bicycle would be acceptable to him.

But after all, running east and west, if someone needs to take a car, it would not be convenient.

He planned to go and look for a vehicle in the afternoon, considering buying a van just for casual use.

For now, he could only make do with taking the bus to Qiwei Vegetarian and the café.

Every morning, when Gu Chen delivered supplies to these two shops, he felt a sense of ease.

Especially at Qiwei Vegetarian, he felt as if he didn’t have to think about so many things every day, just cooking would suffice.

Unfortunately, those days couldn’t be returned to anytime soon.

At Qiwei Vegetarian, he helped Xiao Fang for a while.

Then he proceeded to Wei Tianfu’s place.

Wei Tianfu was busy with a myriad of tasks, and unluckily, he had just left for a meeting.

It would be almost another hour before he returned.

Gu Chen didn’t have anything else to do, so he decided to wait there.

They said it would be an hour, but in reality, it turned out to be nearly three hours before Wei Tianfu appeared.

When Wei Tianfu returned, he had a pile of documents in his hand.

Those who knew would realize he had been in a meeting, others might think he had gone out to collect scrap.

He was followed by many people who looked like secretaries, no different from Wei Tianfu, all carrying documents.

Upon entering, Wei Tianfu saw Gu Chen in the corridor and directly said to him, "Come inside with me."

He did not appear surprised to see Gu Chen there.

They arrived at Wei Tianfu’s office.

Wei Tianfu placed those documents on the desk.

Then he assigned a heap of tasks to his subordinates.

Gu Chen just sat on the sofa, listening to him assigning tasks for an hour.

Afterward, the people in the office left, leaving only Wei Tianfu and Gu Chen.

"Is something the matter?" Wei Tianfu sat there, organizing the files while asking Gu Chen.

"Nothing urgent, just that last night, I had dinner with Liu Dahai."

He spoke frankly to Wei Tianfu.

As he spoke, he paid attention to any changes in Wei Tianfu’s expression.

But it seemed Wei Tianfu didn’t care much about this matter.

He just asked Gu Chen with concern, "Did you get hurt? He has quite a few thugs with him, so be careful when dealing with them."

Hearing his concern left Gu Chen somewhat surprised.

He had thought Wei Tianfu might ask him a lot of questions, but it was just this one.

"No, I wasn’t hurt, but he did tell me something," Gu Chen continued bluntly.

"He said that you previously invited Wu Dazhu to collaborate on a project which led to Wu Dazhu incurring a debt of over thirty million."

He said this, while Wei Tianfu remained expressionless on the other side.

It was unclear whether it was because of his square face that rarely showed emotion, or because he had already guessed what would be said.

"So you’re concerned about financial issues? If that’s the case, you’re worrying too much.

Before starting the project, all the preparations had been thoroughly done.

The cash flow won’t be a problem, at least not to the point where you cannot pay salaries," Wei Tianfu was indeed a master at conversation, Gu Chen certainly felt he was being intentionally forced to ask directly.

Seeing this, Gu Chen could only ask, "I heard that you pushed him into making that investment, which led to this situation."

"I want to know if there was any compensation given to him afterward?"

His question was very tactful, but almost as if laying all his cards on the table.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tianfu put down the documents he was holding.

Then he looked at Gu Chen very formally.

"Compensation? Of course. This project is the compensation. Once it’s successful, not only will his previous losses be recouped, but he’ll also make a profit."
