Chapter 303: Government Takeover
At the time of the run on Wing Hang Bank and Hang Lung Bank, in the office of Lee Guangyu in the Lee Building, Gan Qin was reporting to Li Guangyu about the situation.
After Li Guangyu listened, he asked Gan Qin, "What about Jianing Group, is there any latest news?"
Gan Qin said, "Li Sheng, until B and ICAC arrived at Jianing Group yesterday, they have not left yet, and the focus is on tracking down the finances of Jianing Group. At the same time, several senior accountants of our accounting firm were also invited by B to assist them in their investigation, and Zhou Sheng also went over there. ”
Li Guangyu knew that this was the Xiangjiang government's determination to investigate the Jianing Group to the end, and mobilized so many elites in Xiangjiang to go over, even if Chen Songqing was meticulous in his finances, he would be found by these people.
Lee Kwang Woo asked, "Is there any other news?"
"Li Sheng, just today came out of the news, a number of banks to the Xiangjiang government to sue Jianing Group, now Jianing Group's shares are worthless, Jianing Group's shares in their loan collateral is no longer enough to obtain that little loan, requiring Jianing Group to make up the difference, or directly repay the loan. Gan Qin said.
Li Guangyu is very clear about the idea of these banks, and they know that it is estimated that it will be difficult to recover the loan now, and they hope that he and others will appeal to the Xiangjiang government, so that the Xiangjiang government can come forward to take over the Jianing Group, and they can recover a little bit of it.
Li Guangyu smiled and asked, "Ganqin, tell me, what banks are there?"
Gan Qin said, "Li Sheng, this Jianing Group is really powerful, and there are more than a dozen banks and financial companies that have come forward. Among the 35xs, there are Wing Hang Bank and Hang Seng Bank, which are now in the run, in addition, Malaysia's U-Ming Bank, Kwong An Bank, Wing On Bank, etc. ”
After hearing this, Li Guangyu said, "Ganqin, you go and order our people to continue to pay attention to these things, and report back any news in time." ”
Gan Qin replied, "Okay, Li Sheng." ”
At the headquarters of Jianing Group, the two departments of B and ICAC jointly and many professionals from Xiangjiang inspected the finances of Jianing Group for a day and a night, and found that many aspects of Jianing Group's finances were problematic. In particular, the company's financial reports released to the outside world are suspected of serious falsification and deception of the exchange and Heung Kong shareholders.
After B and ICAC reported to their respective superiors, more than 30 senior executives, including Chen Songqing, chairman of Jianing Group, director He Guiquan, and chief financial officer, were temporarily imprisoned pending prosecution by the Independent Commission Against Corruption and B.
At the same time, the Hong Kong government announced that it would temporarily take over Jianing Group for follow-up processing.
As soon as the news came out, countless shareholders were angrily scolding Jianing Group, Chen Songqing and others, and even the senior management of the Xiangjiang Exchange became the target of shareholders' anger.
Many of them ate the shares of Jianing Group at a high level, when Jianing's stock fell, they thought that after the sale, they would lose a lot, and they hoped that Jianing Group could rise from the new rise, but now everything is broken. 35xs
They were full of resentment about this, and even shouted in the exchange that the senior management of the exchange had accepted bribes from Jianing Group and jointly deceived shareholders with Jianing Group.
As the senior management of the Xiangjiang Exchange, the group of people listened to these shouting crowds, and their faces were very ugly.
As the chairman of the exchange, Shakui Lawn said: "This incident, our exchange is also an unwarranted disaster, how can we know that Jianing Group's finances will have such problems." Now the shareholders are very excited, Zhang Sheng, please come forward to calm everyone's emotions, so that everyone can calm down. ”
The middle-aged man named by Shakui Lawn is Zhang Yuhua, and he is currently a department manager at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Zhang Yuhua knows very well that these British people must have received a lot of benefits from Jianing Group, otherwise the financial affairs submitted by Jianing Group have passed most of the time without much review, but it is a pity that he is a soft-spoken person here, and it is already very good to be able to mix in this position, and all these high-level executives are held by British.
Zhang Yuhua said, "Mr. Lawn, I will go down and explain to the shareholders to calm their emotions, so as not to affect the normal order of our exchange." ”
Shakui Lawn said, "Zhang Sheng, this matter is hard for you, you can rest assured, your credit will be remembered by our senior management, and the position above the exchange will be considered in the future." ”
Shakui Lawn was very happy after Zhang Yuhua took over the task, this troublesome matter is better to let Zhang Yuhua, who is also Chinese, come forward, and he doesn't want to face these angry shareholders, if they let them know their deal with Jianing Group, they are afraid that they will have the idea of killing themselves.
As for the promise to Zhang Yuhua, when this matter is settled, who knows what will happen in the future. Maybe I wasn't in this position at that time.
After Zhang Yuhua came to the trading hall, he took a loudspeaker and said, "Citizens, everyone be quiet. When we encounter such a thing, our exchange also feels very sad, and at the same time, we are as angry as everyone else, Jianing Group deceived the auditors of our exchange. Just as they defrauded the banks, we are also victims. ”
These shareholders don't buy Zhang Yuhua's account, they don't believe that the exchange will not know about it, are their auditors all rubber stamps, Jianing Group's financial fraud is so serious, they will not notice it at all.
One of the shareholders said, "Mr. Zhang, you are also from Xiangjiang, you grew up here like us, and you explain to us your conscience and peace of mind." You are also one of the senior executives of the exchange, and we don't believe you will be ignorant of the matter between Jianing Group and your exchange. ”
Zhang Yuhua was ugly by this shareholder's words, which made him a little unable to get off the stage.
Zhang Yuhua laughed twice and said, "Please believe in our exchange, we will never collude with listed companies to deceive everyone and deliberately let everyone suffer losses." Our exchange really didn't know about this Jianing incident, otherwise we would have suspended Jianing Group a long time ago. ”
Just as the shareholders were about to retort, a group of people entered the trading floor, showed their credentials to the staff, and said, "We are ICAC enforcement officers, please take us to your chairman Lawn's office, we have something to discuss with him." ”
After a staff member led ICAC personnel to Shakui Lawn's office, the crowd was buzzing again.
One shareholder said, "Mr. Zhang, didn't you say that you are just victims, don't you have nothing to do with Jianing Group? ”
Zhang Yuhua felt that his face had been slapped several times, hot, he had just sworn to the shareholders that there was no problem with the exchange, and as soon as the words fell, the ICAC personnel came to the exchange, and he himself did not believe that there would be nothing wrong with the ICAC coming.
Zhang Yuhua said, "Please be calm, you can't help this, I believe the government will give you an explanation." ”
After Zhang Yuhua finished speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to reply, turned around and left the trading hall and walked towards his office.
It's just that before he entered his office, he saw ICAC walk out of the office with Shakui Lawne, and this time the chairman of the exchange was obviously finished.
