Tianma Group, Qi Zhongyuan Office.

Zhao Xiaocheng was reporting to Qi Zhongyuan on the fundraising of Tianma Group's purchase of Shi Kui's equity, and Qi Beiwang sat there impatiently, smoking one cigarette after another.

"We have collected the deposits of various accounts in our group, and the cash flow that can be used now is about 20 million, and there is still a gap of 20 million to buy the equity in Shi Kui's hands. Zhao Xiaocheng said.

Qi Beiwang felt a chill in his heart, he knew that Tianma Group was now short of cash flow, but he didn't expect that the entire group couldn't even make up 40 million cash, so he asked: "Didn't Baicheng New Materials just receive a loan of 200 million yuan not long ago? Where did all this money go?"

Zhao Xiaocheng said, "The 200 million loan was also borrowed from outside, and it was given to Donghua Kangmang Economic and Trade Co., Ltd. through the investment company controlled by us, and after the money was paid to Baicheng, it was returned to the other party in the form of financial management through the investment company, and the business lost more than 9 million." ”

Qi Beiwang was a little unwilling and said, "How to solve the matter of the money, can you owe Shi Kui first?"

Zhao Xiaocheng said in his heart that Qi Beiwang was too naïve to deal with this kind of problem, if it was usual, these tens of millions of debts would be owed, but now everyone knows that the situation of Tianma Group is not good, although Shi Kui has a good relationship with them, but when it comes to money, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, no one will be ambiguous. However, this kind of thought he just thought in his heart, and he would never show the slightest emotion in front of Qi Zhongyuan.

Qi Beiwang saw that Qi Zhongyuan and Zhao Xiaocheng did not answer, and said: "What about the other elders, our Tianma Group has not treated them badly over the years, Uncle Li, Uncle Liu, and Wen Bo, which person does not take advantage of one or two hundred million in his hands, especially Uncle Li, last year Jingyang Chemical Plant was expanded, he let his nephew go to win the bid, this project has made seventy or eighty million dollars, this time Tianma has difficulties, they can't stand idly by, right?"

The Uncle Li, Uncle Liu, and Wen Bo in his mouth are the three elders of the Tianma Group, Li Shuyang, Liu Jinghua, and Wen Maofeng, these three people fought the world with Qi Zhongyuan back then, and now they are generally relegated to the second line with Qi Zhongyuan, but there are still many middle and high-level people in the Tianma Group who are loyal to these three people, and they also have a lot of say in the group.

Zhao Xiaocheng said: "The bag is safe, the bag is safe, the money has already entered their pockets, let them spit it out again, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." ”

Qi Beiwang said angrily, "Don't we have a little way?"

Qi Zhongyuan sat at the desk from beginning to end, did not speak, his brows furrowed, obviously in deep thought. If the Ma Group is heavily indebted today and its cash flow is almost broken, whether it can complete the financing of 650 million yuan before the end of the year will be related to whether Tianma Group can successfully tide over the difficulties. However, now in the face of Donghua Bank's discooperation, he took a risky move to increase his voice and get a loan by controlling Donghua Bank, but he was trapped here by this meagre 20 million cash.

After thinking for a long time, he picked up the phone in front of the desk and dialed Li Shuyang's phone.

"Hey, is it Shu Yang?"

On the other side of the phone, he said, "It's the eldest brother, why did you remember to call the younger brother?"

Qi Zhongyuan said, "There is nothing to do today, and I suddenly remembered that the previous brothers hadn't been together for a long time, how about it, come to me for tea, catch up with the past, and chat?"

Li Shuyang said, "Big brother, I have been studying in Canada recently, and Huihui has recently applied to Victoria University, and I will not accompany my granddaughter with your brother and sister." ”

Qi Zhongyuan responded, and the two chatted for a while before saying: "Recently, the group's funds here are a little tight, do you see if you can come up with some money here and find a way to help the group turn around?"

"How much?"

"Twenty million!"

Li Shuyang's laughter suddenly stopped, and he said after a long time: "Big brother, I've been a little nervous recently, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out 20 million for a while, but here are 2 million, if you are not too little, just call her directly at my third and daughter-in-law." By the way, it's snowing here, so you need to take care of yourself over there, brother. ”

The phone hung up, Qi Zhongyuan called the other two again, the effect was not ideal, either to shirk something, or to say that the hand was too tight, Qi Beiwang scolded, "A group of white-eyed wolves! If it weren't for my father, several of them would have frozen to death and starved to death on the streets." Later, when the company grew, they began to think of ways to make money from the company.

Qi Zhongyuan couldn't help but sigh, when the four of them started their business, they lived in a small board house of four square meters, laid the floor, ate instant noodles, and the four brothers worked together to make the company such a scale step by step. However, as the money increased, the relationship between the four became more and more indifferent. Qi Zhongyuan suddenly remembered a sentence in his heart, entrepreneurial partnership, can share suffering, not happiness.

He looked up at the words hanging on the wall of his office, which was a song by Cao Mengde that he bought from a Hong Kong auction house, signed by Mr. Jing Zhai. "When you sing about wine, life is geometric. Qi Zhongyuan likes this poem very much, especially the sentence "When you sing about wine, life is geometric", it is written heroically, but in the current situation, he is not heroic at all.

Qi Zhongyuan pondered for a long time before he said, "Xiaocheng." Since that money can't be transferred abroad, can it be temporarily transferred to use it?"

Zhao Xiaocheng's heart tightened, "Chairman, this money can't be moved." ”

Qi Beiwang was surprised, "What money?"

Zhao Xiaocheng glanced at Qi Zhongyuan, and after getting the other party's approval, he said slowly, "Two years ago, in order to cope with the future situation of the group, we registered a brand new company that has nothing to do with our group, and controlled a financial platform in the province, under which there are P2P online loans, wealth management companies, and small loan companies, and after more than two years of operation, the scale has reached nearly 500 million. It's just that a few months ago, this platform company exploded and was seized by the provincial bureau, and the corporate legal person was criminally detained and has been placed on file for investigation. ”

Qi Beiwang exclaimed, "You're talking about Easy Finance?"

"It's just one of them. Zhao Xiaocheng said, "The provincial capital set up a special team to investigate this illegal fundraising, but the money has been transferred to hundreds of accounts by us and dormant, originally wanted to transfer it out through the underground 'money bank', but now the anti-money laundering and foreign exchange management side is investigating very strongly, and we don't dare to act rashly." ”

Qi Beiwang said: "But how did I hear that Shi Kui is behind Xiaoyao Finance, and they are operating?"

Qi Zhongyuan sneered: "They themselves don't know who they are working for. ”

Zhao Xiaocheng was worried, "Some of these accounts are monitored, and I am afraid that if we embezzle this money, I am afraid that it will be traced back to our source by investigation." ”

Qi Zhongyuan said: "Then be cautious, the People's Bank of China transaction and anti-money laundering platform can find up to seven or eight transactions in the bank, you are from a financial background, find a way to hide it." ”

"Chairman, are we really going to do this?"

Qi Zhongyuan seemed to have made up his mind, "Do we have any other way?" he instructed again, "Beiwang, you take the time to get your passport again, visas for several other countries, and prepare a few more in case you need them." ”

"Dad, what about you?"

Qi Zhongyuan stood up, "If the ship sinks, when have you ever seen the captain abandon the ship and escape? I let you do this to prepare for the worst, not to mention, although we are in a difficult situation now, we have not reached the point of exhaustion." ”

Qi Zhongyuan seemed to have endless pride in his chest, he seemed to have found the feeling when he led the Tianma Group to the south and the north, and said loudly: "The key battle is in Donghua Bank!"

……

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Yishu arrived at the office, Xiao Wang from the Economic Investigation Department called, "Team Li, there are clues!"

"What clues?"

Xiao Wang said: "Last time, we included several accounts in the key monitoring, and there were frequent transfer transactions of less than 50,000 yuan last night, which were transferred to several accounts in Xinjiang, Hunan, and Guangxi, and after four or five transactions, they went to a trust company in Province G. It looks like there's going to be a move. ”

Li Yishu thought secretly: "These transfers are all less than 50,000 yuan, which can avoid the anti-money laundering identification of the People's Bank of China, and the transfer time is at night, which is obviously unreasonable." ”

So he instructed Xiao Wang: "You continue to monitor these funds, and learn about the recent projects of this trust company." I will now go to Zhang Ju to report to the bureau and ask him to coordinate the issuance of an anti-money laundering investigation letter to the People's Bank of China to see if there are any similar account operations in Donghua City Bank in the near future. “

According to the regulations of the People's Bank of China, transfers of more than 50,000 yuan need to go through the large-value payment system, and according to the anti-money laundering regulations, each transaction must be identified by the customer, and the other party can effectively circumvent this identification through the transfer of less than 50,000 yuan. However, for those with less than 50,000 yuan, some banks in charge can also report suspicious transactions in the anti-money laundering monitoring system, so as to screen for illegal fundraising, counter-terrorism financing and other money laundering activities.

That night, a trust fund entered an investment company under the Tianma Group and was paid in the form of an equity transaction to a personal account controlled by Shi Kui.

The next day, Tianma Group announced on its official website that its subordinate Donghua Tianma Holdings Co., Ltd. held 4 million new shares of Donghua Bank, holding a total of 5.1% of Donghua Bank for the first time, and officially raising the Donghua Bank.

This news caused a lot of shock in the financial circle of Donghua City.

Tianma Group is now in a debt crisis, and it can still increase its stake in Donghua Bank in such adversity, which shows Qi Zhongyuan's unparalleled determination and courage.

What's more, according to the bank's bylaws, Tianma Group will automatically get a seat on the board, and in turn, Donghua Bank will also add an independent director, bringing the total number of directors to nine.

Industry analysts believe that now that Donghua Bank is about to be listed, this operation of Tianma Group will have a great impact on the power structure of Donghua Bank, and even affect the redistribution of power in Donghua City.

According to internal rumors, Tianma Group plans to nominate Liu Jianguo, vice president and director of risk control, as a director candidate, and correspondingly, Donghua Bank has hired Professor Law Zhisen, a famous economist from HKU University, as an independent director. After the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders is held ten days later, it will be approved and then enter the board of directors. Although it takes some time for the CBRC to approve the qualifications, according to the Company Law, directors can temporarily perform their duties after being approved by the general meeting of shareholders.

"How unreasonable!"

When Wang Chong walked into Lin Tianhua's office, Lin Tianhua was angry, and documents were scattered all over the ground. Wang Chong has known Lin Tianhua for so long, and this is the first time he has seen him so angry.

Wang Chong didn't make a sound, picked up the documents on the ground one by one, sorted them out and put them on Lin Tianhua's desk. Lin Tianhua was still angry, and when Wang Chong saw him like this, he also stood sideways to one side.

After a while, Lin Tianhua calmed down and said coldly: "Do you want to repeat the scene four years ago?"

Four years ago, Lin Tianhua and Liu Jianguo competed for the presidency, and in the end Lin Tianhua won by a narrow margin.

At that time, the board of directors consisted of seven members, with two seats occupied by the SASAC (state-owned assets operation center), two seats occupied by the Finance Bureau (Donghua Finance Company), two directors nominated by the company's shareholders, and one independent director. Lin Tianhua received two directors and an independent director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and Liu Jianguo also received three votes. Now, the board of directors has suddenly increased to nine, and Liu Jianguo has become the nominee director of Tianma Group.

At that time, Wang Chong was still the department manager of the Ministry of Agriculture, Agriculture and Finance, and he had heard about this matter, but he didn't know anything about it. Hearing Lin Tianhua say this, he also realized the seriousness of the situation. He remembered that during the National Day, Liu Jianguo wrote in the calligraphy exhibition a pair of works of "Lao Ji Fu Fang, Aiming for a Thousand Miles", as well as the words that implied that he had joined his camp, it was obvious that Liu Jianguo had not really taken a back seat in the past few years, but was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to turn the tables. Moreover, for this matter, he laid out for a long time. Subconsciously, Wang Chong thinks that Liu Jianguo is too political and bureaucratic, and he likes Lin Tianhua's straightforward work style more, which is somewhat similar to the two.

"Wang Chong, you are a bystander, what do you think of this matter?"

Wang Chong is also a little contradictory now, one is his old leader, the other is his new Bole, this kind of high-level struggle of the gods fighting, he is an ordinary middle-level eye, there is a little cloud, so he said: "President Lin, I am soft-spoken, so I won't speak randomly." ”

Lin Tianhua said coldly, "It seems that there are some things that you are still in the dark. Lin Tianhua threw a document to Wang Chong, "You can read it yourself." ”

Wang Chong took the document, it was a detailed investigation of Zhou Yuntao's overdue loan before the National Day, and he thought to himself that Lin Tianhua had never given up the investigation of this matter.

Lin Tianhua said: "I have long felt that there is a problem with Zhou Yuntao's loan, and I always feel that there are ghosts in the industry who are eating inside and out, and I checked and checked, but I didn't expect that this matter was actually the handiwork of the president of our founding bank, and it was really everything." ”

Wang Chong saw that there was a record of the investigation of Gai Shujie by the Ministry of Discipline Inspection in the document, and Gai Shujie confessed that it was President Liu Jianguo who instructed him to secretly modify Zhou Yuntao's credit record to normal, which surprised him.

In the past few months, the matter of Zhou Yuntao and Sheng Hongfei has made Wang Chong directly demoted from the general manager of the head office business department to the manager of the ordinary branch department. For a while, Wang Chong felt that Liu Jianguo was a little hateful.

But what about Gu Tiande?

Gu Tiande is Lin Tianhua's person, during this time in the Chengdong Branch, Gu Tiande suppressed Wang Chong everywhere, and the two have a long-standing grudge, although Wang Chong's ability surpasses Gu Tiande, but Gu Tiande is loyal to Lin Tianhua, there is no doubt about this, so no matter how Wang Chong fights back, Gu Tiande's seat is always as stable as Mount Tai, which is inseparable from Lin Tianhua's protection.

Wang Chong asked, "Lin Xing, what should we do?" When he used the word "we" in his wording, he deliberately used the word "we", obviously making a choice.

Lin Tianhua said coldly: "Since he lost to me once, I naturally have a way to make him lose again." Wang Chong, I want to ask you for a task. ”

Wang Chong said: "Although President Lin commanded, as long as I can do it, I will not give up." ”

Lin Tianhua wrote three words on the sticky note paper and pushed it to Wang Chong, and Wang Chong turned out to be a sticky note, with three words written on it, a person's name, Luo Zhisen.

Wang Chong understood the purpose of Lin Tianhua's call, Luo Zhisen is about to become an independent director of Donghua Bank, and if he votes in the future, he will also occupy one vote. Lin Tianhua also knew that Luo Zhisen was Wang Chong's mentor, and his opinion could influence Luo Zhisen's choice on the board of directors. If the board of directors were to remove the president in the future, the vote in his hand would be decisive.

However, Lin Tianhua did not know that in addition to being an independent director of Tung Hua Bank, Luo Zhisen was also a special economic adviser of Tianma Group, which was very unfavorable to Lin Tianhua.

Wang Chong said, "I can only do my best." ”

Lin Tianhua said: "It must be done." ”

Walking out of the office, Wang Chong was hesitating whether to call Luo Zhisen, and before he could make a decision, Wang Chong's mobile phone rang, Wang Chong glanced at the number, and it turned out to be the phone number of his mentor Luo Zhisen.

"Teacher Luo. ”

Luo Zhisen asked in non-standard Mandarin, "Wang Chong, are you in Donghua?"

Wang Chong said: "What about Donghua Bank, have you come to Donghua City?"

"I came yesterday, it's coming to an end, next semester I will take a sabbatical vacation, be a guest at Donghua University for three months, and participate in several city forums, by the way, I will soon become an independent director of your Donghua Bank. ”

Wang Chong said: "Then congratulations to you." ”

Luo Zhisen said, "When you are free, I really want to eat the fish restaurant you took me to last time." ”

"I'm here for you. ”

"Then tomorrow. By the way, did you talk about girlfriends?"

Wang Chong said: "We are talking." ”

"Then bring it with you. ”
