Chapter 67: The Vague Truth
Talk about love with Lu Ze in his spare time, occasionally meet friends, old colleagues and old classmates, go to work during the day on weekdays, and Qiaoqiao's remaining half a month handover period passes quickly. She conscientiously completed the one-month handover period agreed in the contract, although she promised that it would be okay even if it was longer, but Li Jinzhou did not deliberately embarrass it again. At the end of the month, Qiao Qiao simply said hello to his colleagues in the department, and finally invited everyone to have a lunch, and in the afternoon Qiao Qiao packed up his things and ended his career in the industry.
Although this period of time is not long, although it is not pleasant and even the psychological pressure is particularly great, but for herself, at least she has experienced it from the perspectives of financial service institutions and industrial enterprises, and her horizons and thinking have been broadened.
Lu Ze didn't want to trap Qiao Qiao at home, and seriously asked her what she wanted to do next, what did Qiao Qiao decide, Lu Ze also did whatever she liked, anyway, after living together, she could at least sleep with her every night, and she would not be able to see her in the morning and evening as before.
Qiao Qiao thought about it and decided to thoroughly conduct due diligence for Lu Ze for the company from beginning to end, solve his matter, and then consider his interests and future work.
Lu Ze leaned on the door of the car and waited for Qiao Qiao as before, reached out to take the cardboard box in her arms and put it in the back seat of the car, Qiao Qiao hugged his arm and sighed: "Let's go have a big dinner and celebrate!" Of course, Lu Ze nodded in agreement.
"Shall I go to your house next?" Qiao Qiao leaned his head over and smiled, Lu Ze smiled and reached out to wrap his hand around Qiao Qiao's waist, bowed his head against her and replied, "Okay." Also, Qiaoqiao, I haven't been working lately anyway, so I'm not afraid of ruining my makeup today, right? Qiao Qiao poked Lu Ze lightly, and then agreed to him, hugged him and leaned up on his head and kissed him. This guy is really obsessed with kissing one in the parking lot.
went to have a big dinner in the evening to celebrate, and then the two of them moved to Lu Ze's house to live. On the one hand, they want to decorate Lu Ze's home, and on the other hand, it is also because most of the paper company materials that are older are in his home, which is easy to handle.
Qiao Qiao, who was idle, watched Lu Ze open his desktop computer and call up the number library of almost all the materials of the entire company over the years, and couldn't help but sigh lightly. Lu Ze turned his head sideways and asked Qiao Qiao, who was sitting next to him, "What's wrong?" β
Qiao Qiao directly reached out to Lu Ze's hand holding the mouse, scrolled through it, and exclaimed: "I have never done such cool due diligence, and you are also very handsome when you are professional." β
Lu Ze couldn't help but smile lightly, tilted his head and kissed Qiao Qiao on the cheek, showing her the results of his tidying up over the years. Qiao Qiao flipped through them one by one, basically all the upstream and downstream contracts, product numbers, financial information, etc., which belonged to the preparation if he wanted to take over the company. The other part is basically about the gray areas that most of the business people have. From taxes to kickbacks, to the descendants of the other party in the company, although everyone does not put it on the surface, these must be things that are deposited.
Qiao Qiao flipped through the performance VAM agreement and compared the audit reports of the past ten years, pondered for a long time, turned his head and asked Lu Ze beside him: "Who picked the original accounting firm?" Or is it agreed upon by both parties? "The auditor's audit results are relied upon to approve the annual performance of the auditors.
Lu Ze raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Qiao, and replied: "After proposing this dividend plan at that time, they could choose any firm I chose, and they had no opinion, so I always felt that there was no problem in this regard." Do you suspect there is a problem with the audit report? β
"Not really, I'm not distrustful of results, especially if it's your chosen firm." Qiao Qiao flipped through the ten reports of the past ten years on the table, and asked Lu Ze about the annual audit fees, so that she could roughly estimate a range of quality, she added: "It's just that the firm is the same as our IPO, they are both profit-making institutions, how much audit fees are charged, how many people are sent to the team to do the work, the possibility of being spot-checked by the regulator, and the balance of income and risk determines the quality of the final result." As long as the audit process is completed, they will certainly have no problem. It's just that if there are financial veterans in the company, as long as the problematic number is broken and stuffed into it to ensure that a single amount is lower than a certain value, the possibility of being spot-checked is very small. Even if it is spot-checked, foolishly saying that it cannot be found for the time being, and giving the auditor a new sample, generally speaking, no one will be more serious. β
"So you think the problem is finances?" Lu Ze screened the list of employees when he heard this, and took out a name for Qiao Qiao, "This person has been in the company for nearly 20 years, and he has been in the financial department, and he was just an ordinary employee at the beginning. I found out that something was wrong with him because he was in contact with Liu Jun too often on his computer, both by email and communication tools, and many of the emails or communications were beyond the scope of his duties. Liu Jun is the second largest shareholder in addition to Lu Ze's father, and the current most important management of the company.
Lu Ze's breakthrough in doing things is different from Qiaoqiao's, but they both belong to their own professions. At this moment, the two men combined, and finally chose to do things diametrically opposed to the prevailing external institutions.
Generally, in the purpose of profit and efficiency, basically doing things is to grasp the big and let go of the small. However, Lu Ze and Qiao Qiao were neither profitable, but also had plenty of time, and they finally teamed up to conduct a massive and meticulous screening of the number of jΓΉ in the opposite direction, like the finest comb, sorting out every detail of the company from beginning to end, from the past to the present.
Without Lu Ze, Qiao Qiao never thought that he would be able to have this kind of convenience and speed of directly entering any part of the enterprise. Lu Ze got the financial-related numbers, and he gave Qiao Qiao a professional judgment.
In fact, this judgment is correct, in addition to the many information that Lu Ze has screened before, they have found nearly ten or so companies that actually have no real trade background from the counterparties whose amounts are as low as thousands to tens of thousands of dollars per transaction. Shun Teng found that these low-amount and high-frequency counterparties eventually pointed to the same company that also does biomedicine, and the legal representative of the company is also surnamed Liu in the industrial and commercial publicity information available for query. Qiao Qiao didn't know him, but Lu Ze knew, this was Liu Jun's son.
This result was not unexpected by Lu Ze, he already knew that even if the term of the agreement was as long as fifteen years, the other party would definitely prepare in advance, and even try to transfer the company's business. Now it is just to confirm this, and hold the other party's information and handle in advance.
When Lu Ze occasionally went to the company, he still seemed so indifferent that he didn't care about the company's operations. However, when he went to the company that day, Qiaoqiao, who was cross-comparing the transaction parties of the two companies, found a company that made her feel cold.
She noticed the company because it had had many suspicious transactions with Liu Jun's son's company, but it had no connection with Lu Ze's company. Qiao Qiao opened the industrial and commercial website with her hand, intending to check the public information, and then the information that entered her made her have a very bad association. This company changed its shareholders and legal representative two years ago, and the new natural person shareholder with 100% shareholding ratio and the legal representative are the same person, surnamed Qi.
This surname is not uncommon, but it is also rare. The problem is, Jojo had the impression of being swept away. The driver who killed Lu Ze's family was surnamed Qi. In the villa that Lu Ze once took her to see, in the car that was already dilapidated in appearance, there were scattered documents from the lawsuit that applied for the enforcement of the perpetrator's estate for compensation, and the defendants were juxtaposed with the perpetrator's first-order heirs. At that time, Lu Ze blamed himself and felt guilty, he couldn't stand why he followed the innocent mother and son all day, thus destroying the car and never touching it again.
But at this moment, this person has the same name and surname as the other party's son, who was still young at the time. If you count the time, two years ago, the son of the perpetrator should have been an adult of eighteen.
Qiaoqiao went to the bathroom and poured a little water on her face, in fact, she didn't need cold water to wake up, she was now suffering from chills and numbness in her spine and even all over her body. Jojo leaned against the glass wall of the bathroom with his eyes closed, all kinds of thoughts were churning in his head, not sure for a while, and vaguely feeling that it might be the truth. The perception of this enterprise these days is slowly stringing together and pointing to a terrible idea.
She remembered that she had been mainly doing US stocks and occasionally Hong Kong stocks in foreign capital, and later promised Li Jinzhou to do business, and she had been unaccustomed to the soil for a long time. In fact, she didn't plan to do business in the first place, because she knew that she didn't fit in.
The drinking table culture, nepotism, kickbacks and bribes, from tax evasion to false accounts, and even the fact that many local real estate companies have a team of thugs are the real gray areas in the process of small businesses growing from scratch, which are completely different from the textbook-like business operations and high-sounding strategic theories in the success books she learned in her major.
She had always known these things, but they stayed in her work and never spilled over into her life. However, Lu Ze has long known that these things have long spread and even profoundly affected his life and even the entire trajectory of his life.
She remembered that at that time, Lawyer Yang used eight simple words to tell the past, and started from scratch. At present, the interests are not all such simple and clear things as black and white under the sun. Since the establishment of Lu Ze's father's company, there have been several equity changes, but Lu Ze's father has always firmly held the final equity ratio of slightly more than two-thirds such as 67 percent. Behind these changes in the shareholding ratio, there may be discord and conflict between many venture partners, but no one knows why. They can't ask Lu Ze's father, let alone other shareholders who won't give them real answers.
I think of the teenager who tried to clear the shares inherited by Lu Ze according to the invested funds, the teenager who threatened the sudden destruction of his family with the company's operation, and the fact that even if they held the agreement for fifteen years over the years, they were still transferring assets through small false transactions.
Maybe the other party didn't expect that someone would really stripped away all the information of this company for more than ten years so meticulously and comprehensively, nor did they expect that Lu Ze could read all the stored numbers of the company anytime and anywhere, and they didn't even think that Lu Ze and Qiao Qiao would pick up this company in the name of Liu Jun's son.
Qiao Qiao wanted to go to Lu Ze's old villa to look through the details of the past lawsuit, these things Lu Ze was locked there, did not bring his new home, and blocked himself day and night. Qiao Qiao even wanted to hide it from Lu Ze, because she was completely unsure of herself, not sure if it was a coincidence, if she remembered the name she occasionally glanced at wrongly, and it was really irresponsible to rashly tell Lu Ze such a guess. But on the other hand, she thought that she had told Lu Ze that no matter what it was, she would discuss it with each other first.
