Chapter 85 The Audit Commission
Gao Wenju was short and fat, with big eyes and a very fair complexion.
There was a sense of indifference on his face, as if he was on top.
Fortunately, a pair of highly myopic glasses on the nose shelf looked quite sven to some extent, diluting this unpleasant aura.
Pang Jindong didn't even get up, just pointed to the chair opposite him and said to Gao Wenju: "Please take a seat!"
Gao Wenju walked to Pang Jindong's desk and originally wanted to shake hands with Pang Jindong based on politeness, but Pang Jindong did not reflect this meaning at all.
Moreover, Pang Jindong lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.
Seeing this, Gao Wenju did not bother himself, and sat on the chair with his ass, moving very hard, showing his dissatisfaction.
Zhou Xinnong looked at the secretary general and the deputy director, none of whom he could afford to provoke.
He didn't know what to say, so he could only stand there with an awkward smile.
Gao Wenju smiled coldly and said, "Secretary General Pang is very busy, we have been auditing here for three days, and we haven't seen your people until today!"
"Deputy Director Gao, you have said a little too much...... "When Pang Jindong said this, he deliberately emphasized the word "deputy".
Despite the smile on his face, Pang Jindong's tone was very unkind: "I am the secretary general of the Southeast Asian Chinese Association, in other words, I am the boss here, how I am willing to work, how to work, it seems that it is not your turn to ask!"
In the face of Pang Jindong's dismissal at the beginning, Gao Wenju was not to be outdone: "Under normal circumstances, of course, it is not our turn to ask, we are very busy, and we are not in the mood to ask your association at all." But when you use state funds, it's a different story, and we have a responsibility to monitor your work ethos and integrity. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, your Audit Office is only responsible for reviewing the use of funds, and the so-called work ethos and integrity are not within your scope of work. If you think we have problems in these areas, you can refer the matter to the Discipline Inspection or Supervision Bureau. Pang Jindong's words proved that he was not legally illiterate, and Gao Wenju did not expect Pang Jindong to be legally illiterate.
"So, let's talk about how you're using your funds. Gao Wenju was very indignant at Pang Jindong's attitude, and several wayfinding stones thrown one after another hit the rock, jumped back and knocked on his forehead.
Gao Wenju clearly understood that Pang Jindong would never be lightly subdued, so he no longer dwelled on useless things, and cut the conversation to the point directly: "We all know that at the beginning of the establishment of the association, the state allocated a huge amount of money for the association to carry out its work. And we are now discovering that your association is very problematic with the use of this fund. ”
"Oh, so you have found corruption in our association?" Pang Jindong smiled indifferently and expressed his happiness: "Then I want to thank you for helping us correct it!"
"The problem of corruption has not been found...... and no strong evidence has been found that can knock down Pang Jindong, Gao Wenju seems to feel very regretful, so he wants to grasp something that can be unfavorable to Pang Jindong: "But we have also found a problem, that is, the Southeast Asian Chinese Foundation established by your association is operated by Xiaodong Fund Management Company, and this fund company is an enterprise under the name of Secretary General Pang. ”
"That's right!" Pang Jindong nodded and admitted calmly: "Is there a problem?"
"The problem is that any other person may have the question of whether there will be a transfer of benefits. ”
"This sentence of Deputy Director Gao perfectly explained to me what it means to be 'if you want to add sin, there is no excuse for trouble'. Pang Jindong sneered, and his tone suddenly became a little emotional: "What you are discussing with me now is just a possibility, if the possibility of a crime will also make you suffer a lot, our society will be too peaceful a long time ago." But the reality is that there are a large number of crimes in our society that are not punished in time, and you are here to discuss with me an unbounded possibility. ”
"I'm sorry, Secretary General Pang, maybe my words will make you feel uncomfortable, but this possibility is not really out of bounds. We must be clear about why you would choose to have your own fund company and not other fund companies manage the Southeast Asian Chinese Foundation. As far as I know, there are dozens of fund companies in China, regardless of capital strength, market experience or channels, I am afraid that more than one of them is the winner of Xiaodong Fund Management Company. ”
"This reason is very simple, because Xiaodong Fund Management Company is a company under my name, so I know this company very well. Because I know this company very well, I can proudly say that Xiaodong is a very good fund management company. It is precisely because of my personal understanding and the company's own excellence that it is a very good choice to hand over the Southeast Asian Chinese Fund to Xiaodong Fund Management Company. ”
"Since you have experience in managing a fund company, you can run the Southeast Asian Chinese Foundation by yourself?"
"Why should I run it myself?" After a pause, Pang Jindong further added: "Establishing a foundation means setting up office locations, recruiting corresponding staff, opening a large number of accounts, researching and selecting investment channels, etc., etc., and of course, including a lot of administrative approvals, which is very much and very complicated." Leaving this qiē to Xiaodong Fund Management Company can have the effect of doing twice the result with half the effort, not only our association can save worry and effort, but also complete all the above work with the highest efficiency and the most scientific, and this qiē only needs to pay a management fee that is not too much to the fund company. ”
Pang Jindong's explanation is very reasonable, but Gao Wenju refuses to give up lightly, and still pursues it relentlessly: "The problem is that you let the company under your name earn this management fee." If it weren't for selfishness, I'm afraid it would be difficult to convince the public. ”
"Even if it's out of selfishness, what?" Pang Jindong felt that his patience was about to run out, and told Gao Wenju very unceremoniously: "According to my understanding, there are no clear and strict regulations on similar things in China, so it is understandable for me to do this." What you need to do is enforce the law, not create it yourself. If, one day, it is illegal for me to do so, then you are welcome to come back then! But now, if there is nothing else, please do it!"
Pang Jindong is not wrong, although this matter is a bit unruly, it is not illegal.
But after all, China is not a society under the rule of law, and the consequences of this approach can be big or small, from the possibility of "can be big", if there is really a problem, Pang Jindong may be held accountable for this;
From the possibility of "small", in the absence of any problems, all parties will acquiesce to Pang Jindong's approach.
In other words, this qiē depends on whether the Audit Commission wants to be more serious, and Gao Wenju's attitude at this time is obvious, that is, he will not let Pang Jindong go lightly.
However, Pang Jindong actually gave Gao Wen an eviction order at this time, and Zhou Xinnong, who was present, almost turned his back on him when he heard it, thinking: "The secretary general must have been stimulated these days and is going crazy!"
This sentence had a greater impact on Gao Wenju, who looked at Pang Jindong, his face constantly changing colors.
After a long time, he asked in an almost trembling voice: "Secretary General Pang, do you know what your actions mean?"
"Of course I know, and I ask you, do you know what what you are doing?"
Gao Wenju was stunned for a moment, and replied stumblingly: "Dang...... Of course you know......"
"Since you know, then you should understand that the Southeast Asian Chinese Association is not my Pang Jindong alone. ”
Gao Wenju was stunned by Pang Jindong's brainless words: "What do you mean?"
"The establishment of a foundation requires a long process of preparation and approval, but the Southeast Asian Chinese Foundation was established in the shortest possible time, and the approval took only a few days, which is almost unprecedented in the past......" Speaking of this, Pang Jindong smiled strangely, and then continued: "And you also know that the state has invested a lot of money in the association, may I ask when in your career, when have you ever seen the state invest so much in a civil society?"
Pang Jindong's description of the establishment process of the Southeast Asian Chinese Fund is very simple, ignoring his own role in it, and Zhou Xinnong is very clear about the significance of this role.
The establishment of a foundation is not as easy as it sounds, and it involves a lot of work in all aspects, and it takes a lot of time and energy just to plan the structure and work system of the foundation.
However, Pang Jindong was alone and completed all these tasks in the shortest possible time.
If this speed is surprising, then the quality is even more surprising, and it turns out that Pang Jindong's plan is very scientific and reasonable.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Xinnong deeply admired the young secretary general, and realized for the first time that a person's talent should not be measured by age.
It's just that Gao Wenju has another understanding of Pang Jindong's words, and his understanding is closest to Pang Jindong's original intention.
Pang Jindong's purpose in saying this is not to prove his talent, but to hint at Gao Wenju like a classic line in a classic TV series: "There are people above me!"
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that if it weren't for the high-level escort in secret, the work of the association would not have been so smooth sailing.
At this time, in Gao Wenju's opinion, Pang Jindong almost raised his finger up, and then the roof collapsed.
"Hmph, there are people above you, and there are people above me!" Gao Wenju thought so in his heart, and told Pang Jindong unceremoniously: "Since it has come to this point, I can frankly tell Secretary General Pang that we came to your association to do audits, and it is not because we have nothing to do when we are full......
Hearing Gao Wenju's words, Pang Jindong was suddenly shocked.
The hint of "there is someone above me" just now is actually a wayfinding stone thrown by Pang Jindong, the purpose of which is to draw out Gao Wenju's true intention.
As a result, Gao Wenju's words proved some of the things that Pang Jindong was worried about.
After knowing that the Audit Office was going to come to him to check the accounts, Pang Jindong immediately went to visit General Jin Zhenyu to find out if there was any implicit intention in this matter.
But what made Pang Jindong very disappointed was that the guard of the courtyard said that Jin Zhenyu went to the field to inspect the work, and he didn't know where he went, and he didn't know how much time it would take, let alone when he would be back.
Jin Zhenyu may have really left, or he may have found an excuse not to see Pang Jindong, so Pang Jindong had no choice but to ask Shi Chen.
Shi Chen didn't know much about what happened at the top, and after knowing about it, he was just as confused as Pang Jindong, and couldn't give any valuable help.
Pang Jindong thought about it, and finally decided to respond to all changes with no change, and he did not come forward for the time being, and sat back to see what tricks the Audit Commission could do in the association.
"Since you can say that, it means that no matter whether there is a problem with our association, you have to find out the problem......" Pang Jindong slowly stood up and sneered and told Gao Wenju: "Then there is no need for us to talk about it, do you say?"
"That's right! Since Secretary General Pang has this attitude, it is superfluous to say anything more!" On the matter of ending the meaningless dialogue, Gao Wenju and Pang Jindong thought of going together.
He stood up "Huo" and replied to Pang Jindong without showing weakness: "I'll give you three days to explain the issue of the Southeast Asian Chinese Foundation, otherwise ......"
Gao Wenju stopped when he said this, and the threat was self-evident.
But Pang Jindong didn't care, and asked with a sneer: "Otherwise, what?"
"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" Gao Wenju turned around and left, and Pang Jindong's voice instructed Zhou Xinnong behind him: "Send off!"
After Zhou Xinnong sent Gao Wenju away, he returned to Pang Jindong's office and looked at Pang Jindong with a wry smile on his face.
Although Zhou Xinnong didn't say anything, Pang Jindong could still see his thoughts: "Do you think my attitude towards them is a bit excessive?"
"It's not a bit excessive, but it's too much!" Zhou Xinnong sighed and decided to be a loyal minister who dared to speak out: "Secretary-General, I think that no matter what you do, you must first learn to be a man!"
Pang Jindong smiled when he heard this, but it was not a sneer, but an indifferent smile: "What does Chairman Zhou mean, is it that I have a problem with being a person?"
The phrase "be a man first, then do things" is widely circulated in the current society, and Pang Jindong can often hear it, and it has always been a proverb.
If Zhou Xinnong can put forward a pertinent proposal on the aspect of being a person, Pang Jindong will definitely adopt it as long as he thinks it makes sense.
