Chapter 1096: Confession and Leniency with Reservations
One person has a large draft beer, holding a glass and drinking, the atmosphere is better.
Yuan Jianguo asked, "Mr. Chen, Guigeng this year?"
Chen Wen replied: "One year shorter." β
Yuan Jianguo sighed: "When I was 19 years old, I was still in the countryside and worked as a hoe for a few jobs a day. Mr. Chen is young and promising, also 19 years old, and he is already a billionaire. β
Chen Wen said: "It's just luck to become a small group of people who got rich first." β
Yuan Jianguo laughed and said: "The great old man said that some people should be allowed to get rich first, and the first rich will lead the latter to become rich." Mr. Chen has become rich first, and he should respond to the call, have the courage to take responsibility, and be a pioneer model of the times. β
Chen Wen thought to himself, it's not good, this high hat is worn, but it is not easy to go down the steps.
He hurriedly said: "Governor Yuan is arrogant and dry, and he is the mainstay of the banking industry. I was still young, I couldn't understand many things, I couldn't understand many policies, and I was often trembling and afraid to speak out loud. I'm timid now, you see, this is the driver I hired, in fact, it's a bodyguard, I'm afraid of being robbed every day. β
Yuan Jianguo smiled slightly and changed the subject: "I once asked a colleague in the Shanghai branch in China that Mr. Chen opened an account in the Shanghai market, but he doesn't seem to be from the Shanghai market?"
Chen Wenming confessed that the other party was listening to his family history, anyway, this matter is not a secret, even if he wants to hide it, I am afraid he can't hide it, so he honestly admitted: "I am from Hongcheng, Jiangxi Province, and my parents are from the construction group. β
Yuan Jianguo immediately answered: "I heard that Mr. Chen's parents are participating in the aid construction in Africa?"
Chen Wen immediately understood, these people really spent energy to find out the details of his family. Now that the details have been found out by the Bank of China, Chen Wen does not need to hide it, and said calmly: "My father is Chen Hu, my mother is Xie Youfang, they are railway engineers of the construction group, and I don't know whether their organizational relationship is a railway or a railway construction. They are currently in Uganda to help build the East African Railway. β
Yuan Jianguo picked up the beer glass, took the initiative to touch another glass with Chen Wen, drank it, and asked: "Mr. Chen is young and promising, and he has earned such a rich net worth, it should have nothing to do with Chen, right?"
As soon as Chen Wen heard this question, he tasted something, today's meal was not like he thought that the Bank of China was patting his horse, but there were some other things in it, and these people even knew the level of Chen Wen's father.
Beginning to think about it in his heart, Chen Wen took out most of the packs of Italian cigarettes he brought back from the Grand Casino in Milan from his handbag, gave them to Yuan Jianguo and Zhang Zhiqiang, and took out Italian matches and lit cigarettes each.
Pretending to be busy with these things, Chen Wen thought quickly in his mind, what was the reason for Yuan Jianguo's seemingly small talk, but actually with censorship.
The other party said the title of "Chen Office", and this detail says too much.
Father Chen's dismissal from the deputy department is only known to a small internal scope for the time being. The banking system is separated from the railway department by a few mountains, and it is not impossible to investigate, but it is very troublesome.
However, the Bank of China may not know that Chen Hu mentioned the right place, and Yuan Jianguo called "Chen Deputy Office" as "Chen Department", which is also a routine in the circle, and the adverb is often ignored.
Regardless of whether they know whether Chen Hu is the deputy department or the main department, since Yuan Jianguo called out the Chen department, it means that the Bank of China's investigation of Chen Wen has found Chen Wen's parents. Chen Wen can be sure that the resumes of his parents are likely to have been checked by the Bank of China.
That's where it gets interesting.
Chen Wen felt that Yuan Jianguo was only the president of the Paris branch of the Bank of China, and he had neither the authority nor the need to interrogate Chen Wen's source of funds, so what he just said was to ask for others.
For whom do you ask?
Certainly some people who want to know the answer to this.
Chen Wen thought about it for a while, and immediately understood the mystery in it.
Today, Chen Wen deposited 20.35 million US dollars into the Bank of China, and this huge amount of foreign exchange alarmed the Paris branch of the Bank of China, and they not only wanted this money to become patriotic foreign exchange, but also hoped that this foreign exchange was clean.
Chen Wen had to prove that his income was legal and that his parents were not involved in it in order to win BOC's trust.
Only by gaining the trust of his own national bank can he get their support and cooperation, and he can use these cooperation to complete the next series of financial operations.
Therefore, Yuan Jianguo took Chen Wen's father to talk about things, which is a very knowledgeable beating and reminder. If Chen Wen said "Of course my dad has nothing to do with this, my money is all earned by my ability", although this is true, it is impossible to win the trust of the Bank of China.
Thinking about this, Chen Wen didn't have to worry about it, and explained honestly with reservations!
Chen Wen took another puff of Chinese cigarette and said with a smile: "Since President Yuan asked me on his behalf, then I will confess and be lenient!"
Yuan Jianguo showed a bright smile and nodded with an approving expression.
Chen Wen said: "To put it simply, my path to wealth is two parts. The first step, in January this year, I sold my job in Hongcheng Railway No. 2 Primary School, borrowed money from a group of friends, scraped together tens of thousands of yuan, and came to Shanghai, leaving only the money to eat steamed buns, and the rest of the funds were all used to buy stock subscription warrants, and from the end of June to the beginning of July, all of them were sold, making a profit of 10 million Chinese dollars. β
Speaking of this, Chen Wen deliberately stopped and glanced at the expressions of several people.
Yuan Jianguo is smiling and approving, Zhang Zhiqiang is envious gaze, wish
Jie is an expression of adoration, and Simone doesn't understand Chinese and is eating and drinking stupidly.
Chen Wen continued: "After making a fortune, I devoted myself to improving my cultural knowledge, and worked hard to set up a study abroad place, and came to Paris to study at the University of Versailles. By chance, I befriended the sons of a group of directors of European consortiums, some of them were my alumni, and some of them were alumni's hair young, alas, the decadent ideas of capitalism corrupted me, and I failed to stand the test, and I was dragged into the water by those few gentlemen of the same age, and I was infected with the bad problem of gambling money.
Luckily, I won three of my bets, one of which was 2 million US dollars, against the sons of two Japanese conglomerates. won more than 5 million US dollars in one game, and the opponent was the American business tycoon Trump. The third game, it was yesterday, won 14 million US dollars, and the opponent was three Japanese giants, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries director Shinji Ohno, Sumitomo Co., Ltd. Gongzi Maekawa Nobuyoshi, and another named Morita Takato, I don't know which wealthy son he is, it seems that he has more money than Ohno and Maekawa combined.
Together with the 14 million US dollars won, plus the principal of my bet was returned, 20.35 million, which was just deposited into your bank this afternoon. Oh yes, yesterday I gambled with Saudi Prince Salah for a morning and won him millions of dollars, and I deposited the money in CrΓ©dit Agricole.
President Yuan, my experience of making a fortune is like this, every money is traceable, and all of it is earned by me by risking my ability. Although there was an element of speculation in the case of call warrants in the Shanghai market, the environment of domestic securities at that time was like that, and the buying and selling of call warrants was reasonable and legal. The gambling game here in Europe, gambling is legal in these countries, and every victory I have won has been won by my own ability.
I confess to you and assure the organization that this is how my income came from, that it has nothing to do with my father and mother, they did not play any role in it, and they still do not know how much money I make. I lied to them, saying that I had earned 3 million Huaxia coins through the subscription warrant, and I was afraid that the number would be too high and would scare them. That's all. β
Yuan Jianguo laughed, laughed for a while, and praised: "Mr. Chen, your experience is simply an entrepreneurial legend! Well, the situation you said is consistent with most of the information we have, and your self-description just now completes a small part of what we are missing." Thank you, Mr. Chen, on behalf of BOC, I would like to express my gratitude and congratulations to you!"
Chen Wen smiled slightly, picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses with Yuan Jianguo, Zhang Ziqiang and Zhu Jie hurriedly raised their glasses to accompany him.
The atmosphere was back in harmony and more congenial than it had been at the beginning of the dinner.
Chen Wen knew that he had passed the test, and what he said just now was basically all the truth, but he did a little beautification and processing in the key links, and at the same time concealed the matter of Uncle Xiaohuang and pirated tapes.
The latter two things, he doesn't say, no one knows. Su Qianqian, Su Kangkang, Xu Meiyun and Tang Jin knew about it, but they would not expose Chen Wen.
