Chapter 29: Settlement (2, 3/3 for Xinghua, Taizhou, Jiangsu)
In the evening, in the lake-based Binfeng Western Restaurant, in the face of the freshly served filet mignon, Xiaoqin was sad and didn't know how to go under the knife.
Just as the best and most famous Western restaurants in Shanghai were the Red House, Swan Pavilion and Kai Ling, in Qiantang City, the most famous and old-fashioned Western restaurant in Qiantang City was SITC Western Restaurant. The hotel spent a huge sum of money back in 1984 β a full $300,000 β to bring in a team of professionals from Hong Kong to completely renovate it.
At this time, SITC is divided into three layers, the first floor sells cake ice cream cold drinks, the second floor sells Western food, and the third floor sells Chinese food.
By 1998, with the opening of more and more new restaurants, SITC had passed its peak and was about to decline, which could not be rescued by contracting or transformation, because the style was old, although the taste had not changed, but the feelings were different. Just like the Friendship Hotel and the Overseas Chinese Hotel, which were in full swing in the past, have begun to be unable to compete in the market because of their age.
But for the nostalgic Chang Tianhao, coming to Haifeng to have a few meals is quite commemorative.
"Sister Qin, why don't you eat it? Do you want me to cut it for you?"
"I can't eat it, I'm thinking about it......" Xiaoqin glanced at him, "I'm not as heartless as you, almost 900,000 are gone, and I can still eat so happily." β
"You're nervous about me?"
"You're not nervous, you're not nervous, I'm leaving...... It's not my money!"
Seeing that she was about to stand up, Chang Tianhao hurriedly took her hand: "Don't go, I'm not nervous too?"
"Why are you nervous, I can't see that you're nervous at all! I look at it all, just a little effort, you ate a steak, a banana boat, 2 puddings, 3 squid rolls, 4 curry shrimp, half a cheese bacon, and drank borscht, and just now the waiter asked for fruit salad, and said that you want strawberry ice cream and smoothies......" Xiaoqin said in a low voice, "You...... Are you a pig?"
"Uh...... Have you seen it all?" Chang Tianhao said, "Actually, I belong to a sheep." β
"You're bored and just eating, like a starving ghost reincarnated. β
Chang Tianhao nodded: "Actually, I don't usually eat so much, I'm really nervous today...... Have you ever heard that saying, turn grief and anger into appetite?"
"I haven't heard of it. β
"So you can't get fat. β
"Cut, I don't want to be fat, how ugly is fat?"
Middle-aged greasy, less hair, bigger belly, no more savings...... It was a sad time.
Chang Fuzi thought about the little belly that he would grow on his body in 20 years, and sighed: "People will always be fat, if they are not fat now, they will be fat in the future." But don't worry, you're beautiful when you're thin, and you're beautiful when you're fat...... Yang Guifei is a fat beauty. β
"Believe you, big-headed ghost!"
"I know when you look like this, you probably won't be able to eat when you're nervous, no wonder you're so thin, do you just want to go shopping and buy clothes when you're nervous?"
"It's not ......" Xiaoqin shook her head, "Don't talk about it, what are you going to do with this money...... I'm dying, and you're still in the mood to eat and drink here. β
"I'm not trying to figure out a way, or why would I eat with my head bored? β
"Okay, tell me, what are you going to do?"
"First of all, if it were you, what would you do?"
"Go to Mr. Gao...... He's the boss, and he's your brother, ask what's going on. β
Chang Tianhao shook his head: "I can't say it, that will expose you, and I can't do anything sorry for you." β
"Then I'll go to the finance tomorrow morning and ask why the money hasn't arrived. β
Chang Tianhao also shook his head: "The money has arrived, but it has been transferred away, I guess it may not even be clear about the finances." β
"Then ......" Xiaoqin ran out of questions, "Let Brother Chao come forward and ask Mr. Gao, they are good friends and have been friends for many years...... Brother Chao has also seen the world, and he has been worth tens of millions of dollars, so he should be more experienced. β
Chang Tianhao sighed: He and Brother Chao don't have a deep friendship, and it is impossible to do this matter if he asks or not.
Xiaoqin said helplessly: "Then what do you say? You can't just see the 900,000, right? It's not 90 yuan, 900,000!"
"Have you seen the senior brother's family, is the relationship between husband and wife good?"
"I've met his wife twice, she seems to be a doctor, the busy kind, and she has a son who is in kindergarten...... I can't tell you how it is. She added in a low voice, "But I haven't heard about Mr. Gao and other women, and his wife is quite beautiful." β
"Senior brother is usually very sociable, isn't he gambling money?"
"Haven't heard of it...... However, I know that Mr. Gao occasionally goes to nightclubs to entertain customers, arranged by the office director, I don't know the specifics, I am just a small staff. Xiaoqin was a little embarrassed and said, "I joined the company and pulled me to accompany the guests to eat and sing twice, and then I said that I would get dizzy when I drank and ran away...... As for how they ended up, I don't know. β
Chang Tianhao breathed a sigh of relief: If Gao Yang didn't take care of women outside, didn't have gambling debts, and didn't look like a drug addict, it would probably not be taken away and filled in the hole - there is still a little room for redemption.
"How much does he earn in a year?"
"5-60,000 yuan, and maybe a bonus...... I heard from the finance that the boss may be able to earn 80,000 yuan a year, but I'm not sure if it's specific. Xiaoqin said embarrassedly, "The leader's salary is not something we can inquire about, that is, the finance occasionally talks behind his back, and envy the leader's high salary." β
Chang Tianhao nodded, and the context in his heart gradually became clear: his wife is here, and he is still an intellectual in the system, and he doesn't have too many vices, so he doesn't need to stuff money into Xiaosan, and he doesn't need to repay gambling debts, plus his work income is okay, so he shouldn't run away for the 900,000.
Of course, these possibilities cannot be completely ruled out, in person, who knows what will happen behind the scenes? Like Principal Mi, as a wife, who doesn't know much about her husband's affairs, how can it be possible for a small staff member to completely control the boss's private life.
If Gao Yang didn't run away, then the money might have been misappropriated by him - he was the only one who had the power to embezzle it in the entire new century.
There are usually only two possibilities for misappropriation of customer assets: first, there are holes in the projects invested by oneself and it is necessary to find the wronged ones to make up the positions; second, there is a problem with the company's self-operated market, and there is a problem with the illegal operation, and it is necessary to find the wronged ones to fill the holes.
As for why he is eyeing this 900,000, the reason is easy to explain:
First, the amount of money is relatively large and concentrated, and it is easy to embezzle;
Second, this amount is not a formal domestic futures margin, but a private operation by the business department, in other words, it is not protected if something happens, and it is easy to eat black;
Third, Chang Tianhao has no background at home, and he is also a student, so he has no influence in the industry, so he is relatively easy to deal with.
"It's wrong for Mr. Gao to do this...... He's breaking the law. Xiaoqin whispered, "This ...... This...... 900,000 you go to sue him, he is at least an indefinite period!"
Chang Tianhao shook his head.
There is no way to sue this matter: once it is reported, the New Century Corporation will definitely not recognize the project of foreign futures, and it will inevitably be completely pushed away, and it is great to admit that there is Gao Yang, the "black sheep" - this is much more generous than the temporary workers said in later generations, and he wants money, not to send Gao Yang in.
Taking the legal route?
Don't be stupid! Although he has a contract with the sales department, the content of the contract itself is not protected by law.
Just as there were so many illegal fund-raising cases in later generations, once they were investigated and dealt with, the investors' money was basically lost; even if the public security organs occasionally returned some of them to you with kindness, it would be the principal at most, and you still want to make a profit?
Now Gao Yang just didn't touch his principal - the principal was still in the escrow account, but he just cut off the income, and the income from secret channels.
Therefore, it is useless to sue, even if Gao Yang can be brought down, the money will not be returned.
There is also a sequelae: his participation in the external futures will also be exposed with great fanfare, and his parents know that it is inevitable to have a toss......
"You won't sue him?" Xiaoqin opened her mouth in shock, "900,000?
"That's impossible, my money didn't come from Dafeng, how tense the situation was on Friday......" Chang Tianhao patted his left arm, "You are so nervous as a bystander, it hurts so much to pinch my hand, do you think I'm nervous?"
Xiaoqin smiled embarrassedly: she did pinch Chang Tianhao so tightly for a while on Friday, she didn't feel it at the time, and now she looks shy in retrospectβwhy is it like this?
"I have a solution, let's try it tomorrow......"
"What's the solution?"
Chang Tianhao walked over and leaned into her ear to speak.
"Does that work?"
"If it works, let's try it first. Chang Tianhao looked up to the sky and sighed, "Fortunately, a ...... was settled last Friday."
