Chapter 1142: Downhill Road

Because of Chen Mengqi, Ye Ming has always had a strong impression of Chen Yuanqiao and Jinqiao Group. Especially Chen Yuanqiao, since he held hands with Chen Mengqi, he has always been good to himself and values himself very much. Even after he broke up with Chen Mengqi, he didn't complain about himself, and he was polite every time he met. It was Ye Ming himself, who felt guilty in his heart, and sometimes when he saw Chen Yuanqiao on a certain occasion, he still felt a little guilty in his heart. Therefore, under normal circumstances, he tries to avoid meeting Chen Yuanqiao.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for a year, Chen Yuanqiao was so haggard. It seems that his company is indeed in great trouble and trouble.

So, when Chen Yuanqiao said that he wanted to solve a major problem for him by himself, Ye Ming almost didn't think about it, so he replied: "Mr. Chen, if you have anything embarrassing, just say it bluntly, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help you." ”

Chen Yuanqiao was originally worried: Ye Ming is now promoted and has been separated from his daughter for a long time, so for fear of causing trouble, he may not necessarily agree to help him. But now looking at his demeanor and tone, he is very sincere and enthusiastic, and he can't help but feel very emotional and very gratified.

So, he told Ye Ming about the purpose of coming to him this time.

It turned out that since Gong Zhichao left Xinleng and began to flee at the beginning of last year, Chen Yuanqiao's Jinqiao Group also seemed to have been cursed and began to gradually decline.

In April last year, Chen Yuanqiao suffered his first huge blow.

It turned out that Chen Yuanqiao had invested a huge amount of money in the development of real estate in the provincial capital in recent years. And an important source of these funds is the several investment companies that Gong Zhichao ran for him in Xinleng. Under the control of Gong Zhichao, these investment companies have been operating well, and there are many coal bosses, antimony mine bosses, officials, and civil servants who come to the company to make deposits, and they can provide Chen Yuanqiao with hundreds of millions of working capital for real estate development every year. In addition, Gong Zhichao is also very good at lending, lending part of the deposits collected by investment companies to Xinleng and some bosses in nearby counties and cities who are short of funds, and earning a high interest difference. Therefore, under Gong Zhichao's management, these investment companies have basically become "cash machines" that provide Jinqiao Company with a huge amount of liquidity free of charge.

However, after Gong Zhichao was wanted, some depositors of these investment companies he ran for Chen Yuanqiao learned that he had absconded and were afraid that they would not be able to get their deposits back, so they rushed to the company to withdraw money in advance, resulting in the emergence of the "run" phenomenon that investment companies were most afraid of, and three small companies could not withstand the "run" storm and quickly collapsed.

In order to keep the remaining two larger investment companies, Chen Yuanqiao gritted his teeth and transferred 200 million yuan from Jinqiao Company and put it on the accounts of the two investment companies in Xinleng, each company supplemented 100 million yuan of liquidity, and responded to the needs of those customers who came to withdraw money, and paid as much as they could, and never owed a penny. Even if the withdrawal is made early, pay the interest they are entitled to in full, rather than deducting their interest for one or half a year as per the contract.

Chen Yuanqiao's move finally stabilized the hearts of customers who deposited money in these two larger investment companies. Many large customers saw that the company had sufficient funds, and Chen Yuanqiao was also kind-hearted, so they stopped the run. Some of the clients who had withdrawn the principal and interest in advance deposited their money into the two investment companies.

Just when Chen Yuanqiao thought that he had survived the crisis and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in May, there was bad news: Luo Shaoming, general manager of one of his two investment companies, "Deli Investment Company", suddenly swept away nearly 200 million deposits in the company's account and evaporated in mid-May, causing an uproar.

This "profit investment company" is Chen Yuanqiao's largest source of funds. At the beginning, Ouyang Ming, the deputy director of the No. 1 Branch of the Xinleng County Local Taxation Bureau, borrowed the company's high interest rate and was almost forced to die. And the general manager, Luo Shaoming, Ye Ming also dealt with him. At the beginning, for Ou Yangming's debts, Ye Ming also taught him a lesson.

This Luo Shaoming is indeed very good at financing and running relationships, and he is also deeply trusted by Chen Yuanqiao and Gong Zhichao. However, this guy is mercenary and has a very poor character. When Gong Zhichao was in the new cold, he was jealous, and he didn't dare to make a big deal in the company, but just took some small conspiracies and small means to make a little money in the company's operation. Gong Zhichao was also aware of it, but considering that Luo Shaoming had a strong ability to collect reserves, and he himself had a group of brothers to support, so he turned a blind eye and never pursued his problem.

After Gong Zhichao fled in a hurry, especially after the run in April, Luo Shaoming felt that both Jinqiao Group and Gong Zhichao had begun to decline, and now Gong Zhichao had escaped without a trace, and no one could suppress him in Xinleng. So, he began to play the idea of "Deli Investment Company" to have funds in the account.

Originally, after the run subsided, Chen Yuanqiao ordered Luo Shaoming to transfer the funds in the account to the account of the provincial capital Jinqiao Group as soon as possible. However, Luo Shaoming said that he would put the nearly 200 million yuan in the account of Deli Company for another month on the grounds that there were still some big customers who were not worried about the financial strength of Deli Company, so as to cope with the unexpected situation.

Chen Yuanqiao didn't notice Luo Shaoming's wolf ambitions, and felt that he had some truth in what he said, so he agreed to his request.

Unexpectedly, from May 16, Luo Shaoming's mobile phone was suddenly turned off for several days, and the funds in the account of Deli Company were only more than 10,000 yuan.

As soon as the news of Luo Shaoming's absconding with the money came out, it immediately triggered another run. Chen Yuanqiao's two investment companies collapsed in an instant. In order to maintain the reputation of the Jinqiao Group and not affect the group's financing activities in the provincial capital, Chen Yuanqiao had no choice but to transfer another 300 million yuan from the headquarters of the Jinqiao Group to pay the principal and interest of the investors of the two investment companies that had collapsed in Xinleng County, and at the same time reported the case to the public security organs.

The public security organs issued arrest warrants for Luo Shaoming and the cashier of Deli Company, but more than a year has passed, and no trace of Luo Shaoming and the cashier has been found.

The collapse of Xinleng Investment Company caused Jinqiao Group to lose nearly 500 million yuan. The greater loss is that Jinqiao Group has since lost the largest source of liquidity in Xinleng County, and has also lost the trust of some large customers in Xinleng County who have invested in Jinqiao Group, and suddenly fell into the danger of lack of liquidity.
