Chapter 167 The best way to scour wool(1/2)
Gu Yun has now understood the ancient town project.
This project was initiated by Chenxuan, a real estate company under Dingchen Group. It was launched after multiple financings. At the beginning, it claimed to invest 12 billion yuan and completed the construction in five phases.
However, so far, the funds in place are only 750 million yuan. In addition, the local government has provided land acquisition and demolition subsidies for support development and increase employment, as well as more than 200 million yuan in bank loans, and the total investment is only about 1.8 billion yuan.
For a huge tourism real estate project, 1.8 billion yuan is naturally a drop in the bucket. Therefore, in fact, the project has only completed the first phase of development. The existing scenic area is only one fifth of the planned scenic area, and only one fifth of the area, and many details and supporting facilities have not been implemented in place.
It is reasonable that the business opened in such a hurry, and there are fewer tourists.
The main reason why the ancient town project stagnates is that the internal struggle of Dingchen Group has caused its subsidiary Chenxuan Real Estate to face a split crisis, so it has no energy to take care of it anymore.
And this brings another problem.
Generally speaking, even if a project with such a large investment has a very complete management mechanism, the top leaders of the project will have more or less problems, but whether the problem is big or small, generally small problems will be treated as unspoken rules. If the superior turns his eyes and he will be treated as subsidies for the subordinates, he will not be held accountable.
But now, as the manager of the project, Chenxuan Real Estate, is very likely to let go of the will, so the management is simply a rank-level official, and the chance of no major problems is about zero.
It’s not that Gu Yun is pessimistic about human nature, but that he has done too many similar projects and is too clear about the tricks inside.
He had been shopping around the ancient town before, and he specially found a few ancient buildings along the street that looked decent. He looked inside through the cracks in the door and found that it was empty. Not to mention the ground and walls, he didn't even have water and electricity, but just put on a shelf. In his opinion, this little thing is not enough to cost so much money.
This is one of the things that Gu Yun suspected that there was something wrong with the former management.
Let's change the idea, why did the former management team insist on going against Cheng Xueqing in unison? Is it just because of the previous sentence? It should be noted that Cheng Xueqing's background is not simple. She is the founder's granddaughter. Cheng Yu's control over the company is indeed not as strong as before, but he hasn't fallen, at least he is evenly matched with the opponent?
In this case, why do all management teams turn to Cheng Yu's opponents?
I'm afraid the deeper reason is that they have the handle in the other party's hands and dare not refuse to obey, right?
So, Gu Yu thought clearly about where the money went.
Gu Yun guessed that Cheng Xueqing wouldn't be unaware of the tricks here. She probably wanted to review old accounts, but since these old foxes can be greedy, they can at least make the accounts flat on the surface. Ordinary accountants can't see anything. If they want to find out the problem, they naturally have to hire a team of professional auditors to conduct audits - this is also the reason why the four major auditors in China have such a good business, and their professionalism is there.
Unfortunately, if the audit is to be approved by the board of directors, if the board of directors is not controlled by Cheng Xueqing, then she will not be able to do anything - including if she wants to share 10% of the shares to herself by then, if the board of directors does not approve it, she will probably have to transfer it from the 45% shares held by the Cheng family to herself.
Thinking about it, it was quite embarrassing that Cheng Xueqing was sitting in this seat. She had to shoulder the responsibility for her performance, and no one listened to her. If the situation was better, she would probably not think of working with her as a high school student.
However, Cheng Xueqing has chosen the right person.
If Gu Laogou wants to investigate the problems of these management teams, of course there is no need to hire a huge audit team. Speaking of which, his auditors, economic investigation experts, prosecutors and ace lawyers have been in vain for so many years?
Of course, one's own ability is one aspect, and more importantly, one has to hire a "key gentleman" who can tear the hole. Otherwise, it's up to him, not to mention finding out the Year of the Monkey, or whether he can get in touch with the accounts.
And Gu Yun had long thought of this key gentleman.
...
At eight o'clock the next day, just after breakfast, and while there was still some time before I could take Gu Jianxin to the train station, Gu Yun found an excuse to go downstairs, and drove Bentley straight to the "Linjiang Yipin" villa area more than ten kilometers away.
At 8:25, about the same as Gu Yun's expected location, a Mercedes-Benz S350 slowly drove out of the villa area and drove north.
Gu Yun drove and followed.
There are fewer cars around the villa area. When they are about to reach a traffic light intersection, Gu Yunyi accelerates over from the left side of the Mercedes-Benz and then slams the steering wheel to the right.
The Mercedes-Benz driver in the rear immediately activates the brakes, but perhaps it was too sudden, he still couldn't brake and hit the rear light on the right side of the Bentley.
"Bang!"
Old Gou Gu stepped on the brakes and sighed depressedly.
Judging from the sound, the taillights of the car are probably gone, and if they don’t get it right, they will have to be redone.
He was originally good at this angle and speed, which could create a "quick collision" scene at most, and then take the opportunity to get off the car to check and approach the person in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz. Now, it's a complete traffic accident.
You can probably imagine what kind of expression Cheng Xueqing would look like when she returned the car.
Of course, he could also choose not to report the case and secretly repair it before returning the car. But he is so normal, how could he have such a strange idea?
The car belongs to Cheng Xueqing and the insurance belongs to Cheng Xueqing. Now that there is an accident, he has to repair it. Isn’t it reasonable?
After all, it is because the driver of the rear car has poor driving skills, and he is overestimated.
Gu Yun despised the driver of the rear vehicle, and the driver of the rear vehicle was about to get angry now.
Damn, is there anyone who drives like this? You just change lanes without turning on the steering light?
The driver behind the car is a strong young man. If he is a young man, he must be arrogant. If he is not arrogant, can he still be called a young man?
I got off the car in a fierce manner on the spot. When I saw that the bumper on the front of the Mercedes-Benz had fallen, I wanted to ask the driver in front of me to have a "morning exercise". However, after looking closely at the front of the car, I found that the car in front of me was a Bentley, and the license plate number was Beijing A-shaped head. There were two 8 dragging behind me, and I suddenly felt that I should not be too young.
Gu Yunshi Ran got out of the car and rushed to the rear driver and said, "Sorry, the car didn't drive well, I'm responsible."
The driver didn't say anything, and ran to the side of the car and said to a man in his fifties in his suit sitting in the back of the car, "President, you see this, or I'll call you a car first?"
The man in the suit nodded and said a little unhappy, "Hurry up, I'll have some more later."
But at this moment, the door of the rear compartment on the other side of the car was opened, and Gu Yun sat next to the man in a suit with a smile.
"President Xia, it's you?"
The man in suit frowned, instinctively turned sideways, made a defensive posture, and then asked Gu Yun, "What are you?"
He was sure that he didn't know this young man who looked like a high school student, but that didn't matter. The key was that Gu Yun knew him.
The man in suit is Xia Yingming, the president of the Binhai branch of one of the five major banks. He is also a small figure in the Binhai business community. Because most of Gu Yun’s dreams are backgrounded by real history, as long as he is in Binhai at the time of 2000 in his dream, he will come into contact with this President Xia.
Gu Yun has been the subordinate of President Xia and his superior. Of course, he is more of his "good friends". Everyone is rich and has mutual interests, so he is naturally very good at playing.
But now, Mr. Gu is a little regretful that President Xia, who attended various "feasts" with him, can no longer remember his old friend who once "brings the bridge and lines" for him.
"President Xia, don't be nervous. I'll help you sort it out, you will remember mine." Gu Yun said with a smile, "It's just that your driver may not be convenient to listen to some things. You'd better let him stay outside for a while."
Xia Yingming's face changed slightly, but he still waved his hand to the driver outside the car, who was about to "protect his master loyally", indicating that he should be calm first.
After all, I have seen the world and know that the other party will take action if it is not good for him, so there is no need to wait for the driver to come.
"Tell me." Xia Yingming rolled up the car window and said calmly.
"Okay." Gu Yun made a little bit of correction. He said that Xia Yingming had a lot of information, so he didn't know which one to start with.
After careful consideration, he said, "In July 2010, Binhai Mingzhou Development Company borrowed 700 million yuan from the commercial bank. Of course, their qualifications were a little flawed, and the risk control department refused. However, President Xia, you are not careful about the details and gave the green light a call. Then, Boss Yue of Binhai Mingzhou waved his hand and transferred a villa in Qionghai to your younger siblings' name. He also sent 30 million yuan to your ex-wife and niece who was studying abroad. The money was quickly whitewashed through Aomen and transferred to your wife's brother's company. I wonder if you still remember this?"
He paused and added, "Oh, by the way, this account is probably broken now. Boss Yue heard that he has gone abroad?"
After hearing this, Xia Yingming's face turned slightly pale, and he couldn't help but adjust his sitting position.
These things are naturally true, but he doesn't understand why the person who looks like a high school student in front of him knows it? And he knows it in such a detail?
Of course Gu Yun knew, because this was what Boss Yue told him in person!
In Gu Yun's dream, he can be Xia Yingming's good friend, and of course he can be Boss Yue's good friend. After all, Boss Yue is also a well-known figure in Binhai. How could he not know Gu Yun when he was rich?
In addition to Boss Yue, Gu Yun also knows Boss Wang and Boss Li... All kinds of bosses, a group of rich people, you invest in me, I invest in you, and it's a mess that makes each other linger. When you have time, you will naturally have fun together. After having fun, chat about this very ordinary thing.
After Xia Yingming was silent for two seconds, he said eight words in his tone.
"I'm not bad, what do you want?"
After all, it was an old fox. Xia Yingming denied it first because he was afraid that Gu Yun would record it. However, the second sentence asked Gu Yun what he wanted was to hint that he could talk.
Gu Yun smiled. Sometimes the more he deals with smart people, the more he feels more worried.
He said, "President Xia, don't be nervous. I'm not asking you for money or doing something difficult. I just want you to help me."
Xia Yingming pondered for a while, and then said without hesitation, "As long as it is not a matter of violation of the principles, you can talk about it."
"Okay, then I'll say it." Gu Yun said slowly, "Zhushajiao Ancient Town Development Co., Ltd., President Xia, do you know?"
"I know, there are some loans here, but not much," said Xia Yingming.
"That's good."
Gu Yun said, handing Xia Yingming a piece of paper, which was filled with the list of senior executives of the Guzhen Development Company and the list of major suppliers, and then said, "There is something wrong with the Guzhen Development Company. We suspect there is a mouse inside. Please help me see how they are going."
If an executive of a Guzhen company wants to be greedy for money, he cannot directly transfer the money to his account. Naturally, he can come in the name of purchasing, engineering, etc., so the cooperation of suppliers is indispensable.
The so-called "how to get the account" naturally refers to how these suppliers cooperate with executives to get money. As long as they find the transfer path, they will get the evidence.
Xia Yingming glanced at it and quickly said, "Two questions. First, I have limited rights and responsibilities, and at most I can only find the transfer data of our bank. Besides, it is customer privacy, and it is difficult for me to handle it without formal procedures. Second, maybe they are dealing with each other in cash, so how do you check it?"
Gu Yun smiled, "Governor Xia is indeed President Xia, and thinking about the problem is just a sharp pain. Then I will answer this question. First, I didn't want you to check it yourself. I just want you to take the lead and say hello to Captain Wang of the Municipal Economic Investigation Brigade and ask him to help us investigate. He always has this authority, right?"
The bank president and the captain of the city's economic investigation team had a lot of business interactions, and no one believed that they were not familiar with each other.
In addition, the Economic Investigation Team naturally has the authority to retrieve bank data.
Xia Yingming looked at Gu Yun with some surprise, and then said, "Is that all? Then why don't you call the police yourself? You will also investigate if you call the police."
"Different." Gu Yun shook his head, "First, I am not from the Guzhen Company, and the person who reported the case was wrong. Second, I hope that the police can retrieve all the account information of these people from major banks in the city in the afternoon, and I will see the result the day after tomorrow. These things are easy for you and do not violate the principles at all, but if we don't say hello, we will have to wait a month even if we call the police, right?"
Xia Yingming felt that there was nothing to deny about this, so he nodded and said, "It's true."
Gu Yun said again, "Secondly, no matter whether there is any cash bribery or not, I ask Captain Wang to come forward to talk to the bosses of several major suppliers of Guzhen Company. It is okay to scare them and not ask them to say it all. As long as they involve bribing Guzhen Company's general manager Lin Changgeng and Vice President He Yunsheng, they can say a few big mistakes. And I can tell these bosses that I will not cause trouble for them. I believe this is not difficult for Captain Wang."
The crime of bribery against non-civilians is not serious, and confession can be even more lenient. Moreover, when the municipal investigative agency comes forward, ordinary bosses dare not fight at all - if they anger others, can your company still be opened?
Xia Yingming understood a little when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face, and said to Gu Yun, "It seems that these two people have some holidays with you?"
Gu Yun smiled and said, "President Xia is indeed a first-class smart person, so you know what I want to do."
Xia Yingming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If this is the case, there is no need to be such a trouble. The Guzhen Company has a big rat, and the Economic Investigation Team and the Bank naturally have the obligation to assist in the investigation. I will feed back your report information to Captain Wang. If nothing unexpected happens, Captain Wang can give you some clues the day after tomorrow, which is enough to punish these corrupt elements."
The same thing, Xia Yingming said that this height is different, and he suddenly reached the level of anti-corruption and integrity. It has to be said that the leader is the leader.
To be continued...
