Chapter 2147: Send to Prison....

Zou Cheng was willing to invest one million dollars for Ding Xiang to set up the factory. He just needed her to invest 100,000 dollars to buy the raw materials. Zou Cheng would be the one who funded the machinery and the site, but he would leave the business decisions to Ding Xiang and she could do whatever business she wanted.
Ding Xiang started to go from house to house to borrow money. Qian’e had already caused them to incur a lot of losses some time ago and they even had to pump in their own money! Her own family did not have much savings anymore. In order to pay compensation to the customers, Ding Xiang had sold the family’s new house at a low price.
“100,000 dollars is a lot of money. We don’t have that much money. Why can’t we just do a small business?” Zhao Fei said with a frown.
“Do you know how much Boss Zou is investing! One million dollars! Can you even imagine it? One million! I don’t even dare to dream about having one million dollars. He is willing to help us earn money and he just needs us to fork out 100,000 dollars. How can we miss out on such a good opportunity?” Ding Xiang said excitedly.
“He’s a scammer! You shouldn’t believe what he says!” Zhao Fei had a nagging feeling that it was impossible for something to fall into their lap like this. There must be something fishy going on.
Ding Xiang did not care about Zhao Fei’s opinion at all. She always went ahead with whatever she had decided. Ding Xiang gathered all the Zhao family members to discuss the matter of raising money.
“Let’s pool together a total of 100,000 dollars! It’s not really that much money. All of you made so much money back then, so it’s time for you to help our family now!” Ding Xiang said.
“Sister-in-law! You can’t say that. Although we made a lot of money back then, we also lost a lot of money. You can’t just focus on the earnings and forget all about the losses!” Huang Lu said unhappily.
“Moreover, if this is such a profitable business, what does it mean for us if we give you the money? Are we lending you the money or investing in the business? These are two different things!” Ning Dong asked.
Ding Xiang glared fiercely at these two sisters-in-law of hers. She had thought of keeping the profits all for herself this time, but she did not expect the Zhao family members to be so greedy as to want to invest in her business!
“I was the one who taught everyone the skills back then, so I should have a bigger share. How about this, we’ll split the profits 40-60! When the time comes, I’ll give you your share and you can split it among yourselves according to the amount of money you put in! How about that!” Ding Xiang said.
“That won’t do! If we put in the money and you only do the work, we should be the ones getting 60%!” Huang Lu said immediately.
Ding Xiang really had no other option. If the Zhao family members did not fork out the money, she would really not be able to pool together 100,000 dollars. She decided to earn money first and then think about the rest later. When the time came, she could just tweak the accounts. How would the Zhao family members know the exact amount of profits the business made? At that time, the amount they received would be what she was willing to give them.
“Fine! Let’s do that!” Ding Xiang said.
Just like that, the factory was successfully set up. After Zou Cheng made sure that the factory was functioning normally, he left. Through some other people, Xu Ba bought some of the goods that Ding Xiang was selling. From the packaging to the taste, they were exactly the same as the ones sold by Qiao Mei’s factory! There was no difference at all!
“How do you know that she will definitely do this?” Xu Ba asked curiously.
“Ding Xiang is a very domineering person. She has been snatching things from others since she was young and always thinks that she must have what others have. Those rotten people won’t be able to come up with any good ideas. None of them are educated and there’s nothing in their heads, so she will definitely just plagiarize whatever I have in my factory,” Qiao Mei said.
Not long after, Ding Xiang’s factory was reported for selling counterfeit products and was arrested for plagiarizing other brands. The amount of money involved was as high as 10 million dollars! Everyone involved was arrested and Zhao Fei only avoided this disaster because he did not participate in it.
Zhao Fei arrived at Qiao Mei’s house with a heavy package. Coincidentally, Qiao Mei was discussing this matter with Xu Ba at that moment. Xu Kang stood at the door, not knowing if she should tell Qiao Mei.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Xu Kang standing at the door. Xu Kang looked at Xu Ba and appeared to find it difficult to speak up. After all, this was the family’s private matter.
Qiao Mei waved her hand and said, “It’s fine. We’re all on the same side. Just say it.”
“Zhao Fei is here. He’s standing outside the door with something in his hands. He wants to see you,” Xu Kang said.
“Bring him in then,” Qiao Mei said.
