I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

"Chen Xi, you came at the right time. This guy might be sick. We were just checked by ATO a few days ago, and now another group of people come..." When Yuan Shuai saw Chen Xi, he immediately felt confident.

To be honest, his personality is similar to Xiao Ming's. When he encounters difficult things, he gets panicky.

Chen Xi walked quickly to Yuan Shuai, glanced at the documents in the hands of the hook-nosed man in front of him and said, "Sir, you seem to have forgotten the basic legal procedures. In Victoria, Australia, according to the Privacy and Data Protection Act, no organization or individual has the right to obtain, view or take away the private data of others without authorization. Excuse me, which department are you in? Do you have legal procedures and court orders to support your actions today?"

The man with the hooked nose changed his expression slightly. He obviously didn't expect Chen Xi to be so familiar with the legal provisions. But he quickly regained his composure and raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth: "I am George Harrison, an investigator from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), and this is my ID. We have reason to believe that the Real-Car platform is involved in unfair transactions, which affects fair competition in the automobile market and consumer rights. As for the court order, we are in the process of applying for it, but in an emergency, we have the right to conduct a preliminary investigation."

Chen Xi smiled lightly: "Preliminary investigation? According to Article 18 of the Privacy and Data Protection Act, even preliminary investigations must follow the principle of minimum data collection and must notify the subject of the investigation in advance, unless the situation is urgent and the notification will hinder the investigation. Excuse me, where is the urgency? Where is the notification? Or did you decide to take action on your own based on an unverified report?"

George's face became even gloomier. With so many people watching, he had to save face, so he added, "Our investigation is based on multiple reports and preliminary evidence. Some transactions on the Real-Car platform are indeed suspicious. As the platform owner, you have the responsibility to cooperate with us and provide the necessary information to assist in the investigation."

"Of course, we are willing to cooperate with legal and compliant investigations. But before that, please show us your official credentials, the investigation notice, and any relevant legal documents. After confirmation, we will provide the required information through our legal department in accordance with formal procedures. Before that, we cannot let you take any data away at will. Oh, by the way, like Carsales, we only provide a platform for car transactions. The vehicle advertising information on it is edited by the car owners themselves. As for the matters between buyers and sellers, we do not interfere and do not bear legal responsibility. There are terms and conditions on the website and in the contract. You can check it out for yourself."

George was speechless for a moment. He glared at Chen Xi and finally had to take back the certificate and related documents. Although he was unwilling, he had to act according to legal procedures.

"We will continue to follow up on this matter, and hope that you can prepare all relevant materials." George left the Real-Car headquarters with his men after leaving these threatening words.

Yuan Shuai looked at their backs and breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily you came. This time it was a close call."

Chen Xi frowned and asked, "What about that RWC report? And what about that Chinese car dealership he mentioned?"

"How would I know? Just now, this guy came with his men and tried to force his way in. I'm still confused!" Yuan Shuai wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Let's talk inside." Chen Xi looked at the other employees and pointed to the office.

A few minutes later.

"I just looked at the information of the car for sale. There are no bad reviews below, and the owner of the car dealership did not call to inform us." Lin Yu pointed to the computer screen.

It contained information about a used car, which was similar to the document George had just shown him.

"There must be something wrong here. I think these guys came here to mess with us. Logically, they should have gone directly to the appraisal agency, that is, the car dealership.

Moreover, the test report is valid for a period of time after it comes out. In other words, the car owner can falsify the test report after getting it. According to the strictness of Australian laws, most people will not falsify, but there are always people in this world who will take risks under great temptation. "Chen Xi said, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking out the window.

"Are you saying that all this was arranged by someone else? Are the higher-ups trying to crack down on Chinese people from becoming stronger and bigger, or are they the competitors who are causing trouble?" Yuan Shuai also reacted.

They have been checked repeatedly and this time they still don’t have complete documents. Someone must be displeased with them.

"I'm not sure. Let me ask." After saying that, Chen Xi picked up his phone and dialed Oksana's number.

Not far away, in the principal's office of the cram school.

"I just got taught a lesson in China, and now I'm being investigated again when I return to Australia! They ask us why we do all transactions in cash. I fucking like cash transactions, but that's not okay!" A Lin sat on the table, with a cigarette in his hand and a fragrant smell coming out of his mouth.

"Fortunately, it's not the peak period for classes now. If classes are suspended due to the investigation, the subsequent class schedule will have to be rearranged. It's not certain that every student will be notified, and some people don't like to check their emails."

"After all, we are not of the same skin color. Even if we are naturalized, we are still treated differently. They never treat us as their own people. They always think that if our business becomes big, it will threaten white people."

A Wei and Lao Zhang sat there with sad faces and talked.

"Do you really treat us as third-class citizens? We'll take out advertisements in newspapers and hold parades tomorrow to unite all Asians." Alin slammed the table hard with his hand and shouted.

"Come on, have you seen any Western countries where Asians have successfully united to march? They won't pay any attention to us, unless there is one word: 'chaos'! As long as the market and society can guarantee stability, Westerners will not stop their actions against Asians because of public opinion."

"Yes, you have to face the facts. You have been in Australia for so many years, and you have also been to many Western countries. Don't you know what Western politicians are like?"

The two people sitting on the chairs shook their heads helplessly after hearing those unrealistic words that Alin said.

"Then we can't just sit there and wait to die!" Alin waved his fist.

"When faced with this kind of thing, most people will not resist, and tax audits are normal procedures. Although only Chinese companies were checked this time, they were all legal and compliant.

Besides, the previous president of the Australian Chinese Business Association died suddenly. Who do you want to take the lead? As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. The new president must have a good relationship with the Australian authorities. If he causes trouble right after taking office, I'm afraid he will have a hard time in the future..."

"I think what Lao Zhang said makes sense. Judging from the nature of the Australian officials in the past, it won't be long before they stop." Awei touched his chin.

"What do you mean?" Alin looked at the other party in confusion.

"Look... Taking the past trade as an example, the Australians, no, Westerners are the kind of people who change their attitude very quickly. Today he might hit you with a stick, but tomorrow he might treat you like his father.

Simply put, it's all about profit!
Judging from the export of minerals, timber and other resources in previous years, they are clinging to a certain country while going against other countries. When other countries start to fight back and impose sanctions, their resources can no longer be exported, and their own economy declines, so they start to make peace with the other side with a smile.

When the economy recovered, they turned their guns and started attacking again, and they were erratic. Although there was some drama in this, that's the way it was...

The contribution made by Chinese people to Australia's economic development is quite important. If they are suppressed and unable to recover, Australia's economy will definitely be greatly affected.

By then, the authorities will stop and maybe even provide support!
However, this is not a good thing. If we continue to weaken the strength of the Chinese in this way, we will never make great progress.

This is the Australian government's means of checks and balances, hey~" Ah Wei said, and put out the cigarette in his hand.

"I asked you to find a solution, but you're giving me a lecture. Have you gotten used to being a teacher recently?" A-Lin was having a headache. "Then what do you want us to do? Actually, which company in this world doesn't have problems? If they really check, they'll always find some problems for you. I think they're just pretending this time, and they're killing a few unlucky people to make an example of them. If they find all the problems for you, everyone will be in chaos. The Australians don't want the economy to get worse, right?" At this time, Lao Zhang spoke again.

"It makes sense, but not much. I always feel that we are like fish on the chopping board. When people are unhappy with you, they might give you a knife. This feeling makes me unable to sleep." Alin scratched his hair.

"If you're unhappy, then run for president and take on the responsibility yourself, hahahaha!"

"That's right, what's the point of complaining to us!"

"Yes, running for president of the association is a good idea."

After hearing what the two said, Alin touched his chin.

"Ah? You really want to run for president?" Old Zhang exclaimed in surprise.

"Is it not possible? As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will?" A Lin's words made Lao Zhang and A Wei a little unbelievable.

Because Alin is the type of playboy, even a woman can't hold him back, let alone a bunch of chambers of commerce.

How could such a lazy person think of running for president?
"Damn it, I just went back to receive ideological education and transformation, and now I've changed a little. Why are you yelling?" Seeing the two men open their mouths in surprise, Alin glared at them.

Real-Car headquarters.

"Carsales didn't get anything out of me..." Chen Xi said after hanging up the phone.

"Ha, you can also ask about Carsales?" Yuan Shuai didn't know that Oksana worked there.

"Hey, our people are everywhere. Even the toilets in Carsales are cleaned by our people." Chen Xi smiled.

"How do we solve this problem now? I don't think George will give up. He will definitely come back." Lin Yu reminded at this time.

"Back up all the data, then check and process it..." After Chen Xi finished speaking, he called Yuan Shuai to go out.

He will visit the car dealership, the inspection agency, and the buyer to take a look.

Although I don't think I'll get any useful information, I'd still go there.

Ring wood east, an open-air car dealership that doesn’t look like a big place.

Those who drive here usually have very large venues, because Ringwood is located in a remote area, there are not many people at present, and the land is cheap.

The owner of the car dealership obviously has limited financial resources as he runs such a small car dealership in such a cheap place.

"Don't pay attention to those foreigners. If there is a problem with this car, why the hell would I take it back? It's obvious that they don't like us and are deliberately looking for trouble." The boss is a middle-aged uncle. It seems that he has been in Australia for a long time, but he seems to have just started in the used car business.

"I looked at the buyer's information. He was a young foreigner. When he found that there was a problem with the car, how did he communicate with you?" Chen Xi asked.

"Bullshit communication! He disappeared after he bought the car, and then a foreigner from some department came to me aggressively and said a lot of blah blah..." The uncle was smoking a cigarette, his mouth full of Chinese quintessence.

"So what you mean is that the buyer is deliberately making trouble and trying to extort money?" asked Yuan Shuai who was standing aside.

"I found a Chinese repair shop to open the RWC. We all know each other, so there will definitely be no problem. As for the extortion, the foreigner didn't ask me for money! Does he want to take the case directly to court? This kind of thing seems to be settled privately in China. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation." The uncle was a little confused.

"It seems that in Australia, if you collect information directly and then hire a lawyer to sue, the compensation will be very high. Western countries still have very severe penalties for this kind of fraud. I remember that McDonald's and KFC were sued in Da Piaoliang, and the compensation was ridiculously high!" Yuan Shuai also frowned and thought.

"I don't think so..." Chen Xi thought about it and felt that this incident was directed at their Real-Car.

Because George came running over in a threatening manner and asked to check the data as soon as they met, which had nothing to do with whether compensation was paid or not.

And if he wanted compensation, then the target of his attention should be the uncle in front of him. George just casually investigated, as if he had gone through a process, and then pointed his sword at Real-Car, which seemed to be a bit of an attempt to cover up.

"Then how do you plan to deal with the next inquiries from above? They should come again," Yuan Shuai asked.

"What a joke! You bought a car and broke it down, and you put the blame on me. I have to ask him for compensation! The bank is not responsible after the incident occurs, don't you think? Don't worry, they won't be able to find out anything. There are all kinds of birds in the forest. In fact, the RWC has such a long validity period that it has loopholes. This is called guarding against gentlemen but not villains. I have never heard of anyone getting rich by extorting money with this. I've learned something new this time." The uncle looked indifferent.

Chen Xi also nodded. He had been running a used car business for a long time in his previous life, but had never encountered such a situation.

Besides, the car this foreigner bought was not a good one, it was just a second-hand car worth more than 20,000 yuan.

"Why don't we go to the repair shop?" Yuan Shuai asked.

"There's no need. We should go and see this foreigner instead." Chen Xi shook his head.

"Uncle, I see you have a very hot temper. This guy is causing trouble, why don't you go and talk to him?" Yuan Shuai looked puzzled.

"He's still finding fault with me even when I bought a car. If I go to him, he might call the police to arrest me, saying I came to his house to threaten him. I won't be able to explain myself then. I'm not stupid. It's wise to ignore this kind of thing."

What the car dealership owner said made a lot of sense, and the two men nodded in agreement after listening to him.

Some of the foreigners are very troublesome and often do things you can't imagine. (End of this chapter)
