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

"Uncle Liu, why are you back?" Liu Fu, who had just closed the door, was stopped by someone.

"It turned out to be Chen Xi. I came back to check the situation."

"Why don't you go in and sit?"

"Wait a little longer. Wait a little longer. He's obviously busy inside. It's not appropriate to go in now."

"What's he busy with?"

"Shh~Keep your voice down."

Looking at Liu Fu's booing action, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel puzzled.

A few seconds later, the office door was opened, and Xiao Ming came out with a red face, followed by Bao Yu,

Chen Xi and Liu Fu looked at each other and smiled a smile that all men understand.

"It's not what you think. I was just listening to Xiaoyu's work report!" Xiao Ming waved his hands repeatedly.

"Well, reporting work, I understand!"

"Yeah, we understand."

The two men were naturally a little skeptical.

Seeing that his explanation was hopeless, Xiao Ming was too lazy to say anything more.

A few minutes later, Liu Fu sat on the sofa and took the tea handed to him by Bao Yu: "Recently, I have expanded my business to New Zealand. The housing prices in Auckland are also rising rapidly! It is not worse than Australia at all. I came back to Melbourne this time to lead you to develop a new project. I originally planned to do it alone, but I think this project is very attractive to young people..."

"What is it?" Xiao Ming asked impatiently.

"You all know that guns are banned in the country. Some bosses like to shoot, but the equipment in those shooting ranges is too old and there are too many rules, so they can't have enough fun. So these people go abroad and spend a lot of money to experience it. Currently, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is preparing to set up shooting ranges and hunting grounds in various states to attract wealthy people from all over the world to play..." Liu Fu said slowly.

"Aren't private individuals in Australia not allowed to own guns?" Xiao Ming looked confused.

"You are both right and wrong. Let me give you a brief introduction to Australia's gun laws. In 1927, New South Wales passed the first Gun Act, requiring guns to be registered and clearly stated for use (such as hunting or ranch work), marking the beginning of modern gun control. Victoria and other states enacted similar laws after 1958, but the standards were more relaxed, allowing the legal purchase of shotguns and rifles.

During this period, private gun ownership was legal but poorly regulated, gun trading was free, storage regulations were vague, and the problem of illegal use of guns gradually emerged. Later, the Port Arthur massacre occurred, which directly prompted the Australian federal government and the states to jointly implement comprehensive gun control. The "National Gun Agreement" was also formulated at this time. At the beginning, semi-automatic weapons were banned, and then gun ownership required strict background checks, safety training, and providing real reasons, such as hunting association membership or farm work needs.

Do you know why you never see anyone holding a gun in Australia? That's because there is no need! Australia requires that guns and ammunition be stored separately, and guns and ammunition must be locked in separate cabinets, and the safes must be certified by the police.

Let me give you an example. If a gangster breaks into your house with a knife and threatens your personal safety, even if you have a gun, you still need to open the safe to get the bullets, which is a very time-consuming process. Well, if you get the bullets and load them, you shoot at the robber and kill him. Then congratulations, you may have to spend the rest of your life in prison!
Because the right of self-defense in Australia is to strictly limit lethal force, and to give priority to retreating or calling the police, and prohibit the active use of guns for self-defense. So shooting and killing an intruder is a more serious crime than invading someone's home. If this were to happen in the United States... it would probably be fine..."

Hearing Liu Fu's words, Chen Xi nodded.

There has always been an infestation of wild ducks and rabbits in Australia. In the past, the government would mobilize residents from all over the country to hunt, and some even offered rewards.

The shooting range and hunting ground Liu Fu mentioned are almost the same. After all, there are few Australians and the number of customers is limited. If the Chinese Chamber of Commerce cooperates with the local foreigners, then business will come!
As for the right of self-defense in Australia, it sounds a bit strange, but in fact it works very well. Because if you carry a gun for self-defense, you will go to jail, so it is better not to carry a gun. Compared with the situation in the United States, this regulation of the Australian government has increased social security.

According to Chen Xi's idea, he thinks that if a country is not invaded, it is best to ban guns. Because people are impulsive sometimes, and if everyone carries guns, it will be more chaotic.

"Target shooting is great! I've wanted to play with guns for a long time, but I can usually only play with them in games." Xiao Ming slapped his thigh excitedly. He usually likes to play Battlefield the most, but he can only satisfy his desire in games.

Chen Xi had been to a shooting range before and he also liked shooting, so naturally he was very interested in it.

But the shooting ranges in Australia were not very good before, and the service attitude was very poor. Foreigners would often refuse to see Asians coming to play.

Because teaching is too tiring and there is too much to do, plus Australians are lazy, the business of this shooting range is getting worse and worse.

"The specific situation depends on what the official says. The economy of Australia has not been very good recently, so they want to start some new projects to increase revenue. If it were in the past, this project would basically not be given to Chinese to participate..." Liu Fu thought for a while and said again.

Indeed, this project is actually to attract Asians to play. According to Chen Xi, Australians love sports, especially swimming and fishing, but they are not very interested in things like guns.

"This is..." After saying this, Liu Fu suddenly remembered the indecent scene he had just seen in the office, so he pointed at the girl in front of him and asked.

"Hello uncle, I am Brother Ming's girlfriend - Bao Yu." Bao Yu said with a sweet smile.

"Okay, okay, Abalone is good! Well... some things can be done at home. It doesn't have a good impact in the company. After all, you are the boss... ahem..." Liu Fu said hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, Bao Yu and Xiao Ming's faces suddenly turned red.

It seems that this matter really cannot be explained!

China, Yuezhou City.

"Dad, why are you suddenly giving me so much money again? I haven't spent all the money from last time!" Xu Yun looked at her father at a loss.

Although she really wants money, she still has to put on a good show.

This time, the Xu family gave her 100 million yuan at once. Such a huge sum of money made Xu Yun's brain a little confused.

She had overheard that Hengxiao Group had financial problems. Now her father suddenly gave her so much money. Is this news true or false?
"Spend it all if you haven't spent it all. Your dad and I have plenty of money!" Xu Jia stood in front of the window with a cigar in his mouth and his hands on his hips, acting like a nouveau riche.

"Dad, you are so nice to me!" Xu Yun kissed her father on the face.

"Of course not. You are my daughter. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?"

"But will they have any objections to this? You always give me money..."

"Boys should exercise more. What objections do they have? Humph!" The Xu family naturally understood who their daughter was referring to. They were his two sons.

Looking at his daughter hugging his arm and acting coquettishly, Xu Jia waved his hand and said, "You go first. I have a meeting to attend later."

Hearing this, Xu Yun could only leave reluctantly.

About half an hour after the others left, the door suddenly opened again. The eldest son of the Xu family, Xu Jian, walked in.

"Dad, did you give Xu Yun money again? It seems like he gave her 100 million this time. Aren't you worried about Heng Xiao's current situation?" Xu Jian said with a frown.

"Do you think I'm a little biased? You think my approach is to raise the son poorly and the daughter well, right?" Xu Jia pointed at the sofa while smoking a cigar, motioning the other party to sit down.

"No...no..."

"What do you mean by no money? Don't I know what you're thinking? Of course I have a purpose for giving her money. Xu Yun likes to spend money lavishly. If one day she runs out of money, what will people outside think? They will think that my Xu family is broke, and Heng Xiao is broke. Those guys in the bank only lend money to rich people. If you make yourself a poor ghost, how can you raise funds?"

"I know...I know..."

"Don't always be jealous of Xu Yun and think that I am biased as a father. Let me tell you, I only gave her a few hundred million, but Heng Xiao Group will be left to you in the future. Do you want to choose a few hundred million or the group?"

"..."

Xu Jian didn't know what to say after hearing that.

That would definitely be the group. Although Evergrande is having difficulties now, he believes that it will be able to overcome the difficulties in the future.

Not far away from the Xu father and son, Chen Yifeng was standing in the auction house with a sullen face.

In this life, Chen Yifeng did not cheat anything from Chen Caiyue. Instead, due to the rise of Xinde, Huade's business was in trouble. In addition, Chen Xi's various outrageous operations made him fail to reach the heights of his previous life.

According to the situation in his previous life, Chen Yifeng's cash flow at this time would have reached a terrifying level, not like it is now.

"Why is the auction house doing so bad business lately?"

"Old Chen, now there are online auction houses on the market, so our business has been impacted."

Sun Chen explained.

"I know this. The online auction house is just a gimmick. Who dares to spend hundreds of millions to buy things on it? Are those things authentic? What if something goes wrong? Can we find the person in charge of the company?" Chen Yifeng sneered.

"But that's the thing. Those are just your thoughts. Customers don't think that way. I'll show you the comments online and you'll understand." Sun Cheng said and took out his cell phone.

One person commented that it is possible to buy fakes at offline auction houses nowadays. Because antiques are authenticated by humans, there are cases where the auction houses are passing off fakes as real ones. Even the world's famous auction houses have had examples of fakes. Anyway, they are not authentic, so it is better to buy from wherever you want.

Then, someone listed the domestic auction law. One of the clauses is the right of liability exemption, which means that if the auctioneer declares before the auction that he cannot guarantee the authenticity or quality of the auctioned items, he will not bear the warranty liability for defects.

Most auction houses will specify similar clauses in the "Bidding Agreement" such as "The authenticity and quality of the auction items are determined by the bidders themselves, and the auctioneer does not provide any guarantee." But most people don't pay attention to that fine print.

In other words, most auction houses generally follow the principle of no authenticity guarantee, no returns.

In fact, even if the auction house guarantees that it is authentic and issues a relevant authentication certificate, it cannot guarantee that it is 100% authentic. This is because the imitation technology of the counterfeit is hard to say. Some high-quality imitations have reached the level of being indistinguishable from the real thing, and even the authentication agencies may not be able to tell the difference.

"This is bullshit. I don't believe there are so many fools who would spend a lot of money on an online auction!" Chen Yifeng still didn't believe it. He was such a stubborn person.

"According to what I heard, there are quite a lot of people participating! Look, I have also registered an account, and I can see the transaction volume and auction status on it." Sun Chen opened a software.

There are many products in the software, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and modern works.

Chen Yifeng glanced at it and laughed, "Humph, you see, this painting is obviously painted by a modern artist. I've heard of the painter's name, he seems to be a teacher at an art academy. This painting is just average, but it's been sold for more than 100,000 yuan. There must be something wrong with it!"

Sun Chen rolled his eyes after hearing this.

Your own paintings have sold millions, but you start criticizing other people's paintings when they only sell for tens of thousands. This is really hypocritical.

"I heard that this online auction was organized by Yang Dingtian. That guy's money seems to have come from unknown sources. I think there is probably something fishy going on here."

"You mean he's washing rice through online auctions?"

"It doesn't seem that simple. Look at the slogan on this software." Chen Yifeng pointed to the several advertisements that kept scrolling on the App's homepage.

"Hidden treasures can be cashed in seconds! Daily income is 1.2%, and the rare pieces returned from overseas are waiting for the right person! User "Qinghua Jushi" withdrew 188888 yuan yesterday"

"National support for cultural industry projects! The property rights of famous paintings and calligraphy are split, starting from 100 yuan, with an annualized return of 36% guaranteed! Strategic cooperation with the Palace Museum Cultural Relics Exchange Association!"

“Last 36 hours! Shares of Zhang Daqian’s fake “Dunhuang Flying Apsaras” are being snapped up, with a historical annualized increase of over 200%!”

“A collection and financial management app used by billionaires! Scan the QR code to join the elite circle and unlock Sotheby’s private collections!”

"You have been listed as a V8 cultural inheritor! The exclusive subscription channel for the fragment of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" inscribed by Emperor Qianlong is now open!"

"A must-have APP for family inheritance! My grandson earned money for his study abroad by sharing Qi Baishi's "Funny Shrimp Picture". Click to view the guide!"

“Invite your friends to become certified collectors and get a cash voucher worth 8888 yuan! Three-level distribution will share the team’s profits, with no upper limit!”

Looking at these familiar yet unfamiliar slogans, Sun Chen seemed to understand something.

"Hehe, I guess this is a Ponzi scheme. The investment company businesses that Yang Dingtian is running are probably also based on this..." Chen Yifeng sneered.

"Then let's collect evidence first, and then call the police to arrest them!" Sun Chen quickly agreed.

"Let's not talk about this for now. What's the current situation with the auction house's security? Chen Lihua actually quit. I treated him so well..."

"Well... the security of the auction house is now handled by other companies... everything is the same as before... Lihua may feel bored staying here..." Sun Chen said hesitantly.

He didn't dare tell Chen Yifeng the truth. Chen Lihua had already gone to Chen Xi's side, and the security of the auction house was now handled by Chen Xi's company.

But he didn't lie. The security work was indeed no different from before, because the person in charge was still Chen Lihua.

"Oh, as long as it's safe, that's all." Chen Yifeng, who had a lot to do, didn't ask too many questions. (End of this chapter)
