Chapter 9: Confusing
As soon as she went to work the next afternoon, Han Mei called and said that the account information of Shin Shin Company had been obtained.
"Then you wait, I'll go to you and get it." Li Ji said.
"How can I work for your boss Li's driver, I'm now at the 'Starbucks' across the road from you, you can come here."
Li Ji put down the phone and hurriedly went downstairs. When I went to Starbucks, Han Mei was really sitting there.
"Sit down, I'm in for a treat today." Han Mei pouted Nunu on the table, "That's right, the latte you like." ”
"Why are you embarrassed to do something for me and let you break the bank?" Li Ji sat down and picked up his coffee.
"Don't be hypocritical with me," Han Mei glanced at Li Ji, "How much can a cup of coffee cost?" You remember, you owe me a big favor, and you will have to pay it back when the time comes. ”
"Yet, definitely back!" Li Ji said busily.
"However, I can't be cheap for you," Han Mei paused and squinted at Li Ji, "When I think about it one day, I will come to you again, but I am not allowed to repay the debt." ”
"Okay, okay, ready to wait!"
Han Mei finished her coffee, took out a file bag from her bag, and handed it to Li Ji: "Everything is inside, you can see for yourself." ”
Li Ji took out a few pages and looked at them, and it was really the account flow of Xinxin New Materials Company, and he looked at Han Mei gratefully: "You have helped me a lot, thank you, thank you!" ”
"You're here again," Han Mei glanced at Li Ji, "Between us, do you need to be so polite?" ”
"I went to the city government to do some errands, and I happened to pass by," Han Mei stood up, "I won't kill you today, keep the account first." ”
"No problem, keep the account, keep the account!" Li Ji blurted out.
"Oh, it's very pleasant," Han Mei glanced at Li Ji, pushed open the door, walked out, and looked back with a smile, "I'll go first, you can take your time." ”
Li Ji stood at the door, watching Han Mei get in the car and leave, only then did he come back and sit down again, drinking coffee while looking through the accounts of Shin Shin Company.
A thick stack of ledger pages, forty or fifty pages. It started at the beginning of last year and lasted until June this year.
However, on most pages, except for a few current deposit interest-bearing businesses initiated by banks, the rest are almost blank, not at all like a bank account of a normal business.
The balance of corporate deposits in the account was only more than 1,100 yuan for a long time. But in August last year, 100 million yuan was suddenly transferred from CCB within two days, and all this 100 million yuan was withdrawn in the form of cash checks in one day.
The coffee on the table was already cold. Li Ji's eyes stared at the lines of numbers, and he couldn't move away for a long time.
He took the pages in his hand, pondered for a long time, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Han Mei's number.
"Senior Brother Li, what's the matter? On the way back! After only a few rings, Han Mei picked up the phone.
"Han Mei, I'm really sorry, I have to ask you for a favor....." Li Ji hesitated.
"Hey, you're here again," Han Mei laughed, "There's something to say." ”
"You can help me find out what happened to those withdrawals."
Han Mei snorted, seemed to hesitate, and after a while, said, "Okay, I'll go back and have a look." ”
Li Ji put down the phone, drank his coffee, and returned to the office with his file bag. He opened the drawer, put the file bag inside, and locked it carefully. Then, picking up the briefcase, he walked out of the room.
"Let's go, let's go to Shin Shin again!" Li Ji stood at the door and shouted at Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhu.
The three of them went downstairs and stood at the intersection to catch a car. Xiao Zhang suddenly said: "Mr. Li, I forgot something, go back and get it!" ”
"Well, hurry up!" Li Ji stared at the other side of the road and replied casually.
"This Xiao Zhang, why has he been babbling lately?" Looking at Xiao Zhang's back, Xiao Zhu muttered.
Soon a taxi came, and Li Ji and Xiao Zhu got into the car first. After waiting for another four or five minutes, I saw Xiao Zhang running out of the office building in a hurry.
The weather was fine. The sun was shining brightly on the windowpanes as the sun set in the west. Li Ji rolled down the window and leaned his head over, letting the oncoming wind blow his hair around.
These days, he has always had an indescribable feeling of confusion in his heart. It seemed as if there was a thick fog that enveloped him heavily, and the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.
How did your personal seal get on that guarantee document?
After so many years in the bank, Li Ji has always been very careful with his personal seal. When not in use, keep it in that small safe in the office. No one can take it out but himself.
Li Ji thought about it, but he never understood.
The car passed by the Marriott Hotel. Li Ji suddenly remembered that before the National Day last year, Wan Cheng suddenly asked himself to have dinner at the Marriott Hotel.
Wan Cheng and Li Ji were high school classmates. Wan Cheng's family is in Xiguan Village on the outskirts of the city, and his father is the director of the village committee. Wan Cheng doesn't like to study, and he almost sits at the bottom of the class in the back exam, but he takes a few little brothers around the campus all day long, and no one dares to provoke him.
But Wancheng is very good to Li Ji. This is not because Li Ji has good academic performance and is willing to let Wan Cheng copy his homework, but because Li Jiqiu plays well.
In addition to fighting, Wan Cheng doesn't seem to have any other hobbies, but he is obsessed with playing football. As a central defender, although Li Ji is not tall or strong, he is fast, delicate in footwork, and has outstanding awareness, and is one of the best in the school.
Wancheng often asked Li Ji to play football together, and sometimes pestered Li Ji to help others play games outside the school. Most of the time, after playing football, Wan Cheng would invite Li Ji to have a meal at the small restaurant on the east side of the school gate, and occasionally bring his sister Wan Min. It was at that time that Li Ji met Wan Min.
Wan Min is one level lower than Li Ji, tall and thin, with a ponytail, speaking softly, blushing at every turn.
At that time, Wan Min didn't seem to like her brother very much, and she never greeted Wan Cheng when she met on campus, but every time Wan Cheng invited Li Ji to dinner, Wan Min was willing to follow. Sitting next to him, listening to Li Ji and Wan Cheng talking bare-chested, pursing their lips and just laughing.
Wan Cheng dropped out of school before finishing his third year of high school. Later, Li Ji went to college. During this period, the two almost lost contact. It wasn't until Li Ji graduated and was assigned to CCB that he once went out to socialize with the director, and unexpectedly met Wan Cheng. At this time, Wan Cheng was already the vice president of Marriott Trading Company.
After that, the two reconnected with their old relationship, and gradually resumed their high school relationship, often playing football and drinking together.
The task of lira deposits in the Li Ji savings bank is very heavy. Li Ji is a newcomer, and he has no social connections in the city, so he always drags his feet in the office, and he basically can't get his monthly performance salary. Wan Cheng knew, and without saying a word, he directly asked the company's financial staff to open an account at the savings bank and transferred the deposit.
At that time, Wan Min had graduated from secondary school and entered the tax bureau. I haven't seen her for a few years, Wan Min is so delicate and generous, she is not the reserved little girl she was back then.
Wan cost deliberately matched his sister and Li Ji. But Li Ji was already with Liao Ying at that time, not to mention that Li Ji had always regarded Wan Min as his sister and never had any excessive thoughts.
Wan Cheng was very sorry and said to Li Ji: "It's a pity that you don't be my brother-in-law." After that, Wan Min's eyes were a little different when he looked at Li Ji, and he always seemed to have a little indescribable shame and resentment.
In those years, Wan Cheng helped Li Ji a lot. Most of Li Ji's performance at the beginning relied on Wancheng to help Zhang Luo's business. Li Ji was able to become the deputy general manager of the credit department of the listed bank, and Wan Cheng can be said to have made great contributions.
In recent years, as the Marriott Group has grown in size, Wancheng's position has also risen higher and higher. Wan Daming retired, and Wan Cheng sat in the position of chairman of Marriott Group.
A new broom sweeps clean.
After Wan Cheng took office, he was anxious to make achievements and prove himself to his father, so he implemented a business strategy of vigorous expansion throughout the group.
Marriott Group has also rapidly shifted from physical trading to financial investment, and its original real estate business has expanded extremely in a short period of time. Marriott Real Estate has taken land everywhere and expanded wildly, almost to the point of recklessness.
Li Ji deals with enterprises all day long and has seen a lot. It is not uncommon for large group enterprises to fall into trouble overnight or even go bankrupt and liquidate because of the temporary rupture of the capital chain.
To this end, Li Ji reminded Wancheng many times that in the business of Marriott Group, he should pay more attention to controlling risks as much as possible and reasonably limiting the scale of credit. This made Wan Cheng, who was swearing and was charging up, very unhappy.
Li Ji guessed that this was probably an important reason why Marriott Group's business was transferred from his own hands to Wang Wensheng's side.
Li Ji was going to accompany Liao Ying to the street that day, but he hadn't met Wan Cheng for a long time, so he was embarrassed to refuse, for fear that he would think crookedly, not to mention that Wan Cheng also sent a driver to wait downstairs.
Because he was in a hurry, Li Ji stuffed his personal seal into his briefcase and went directly to the Marriott Hotel.
As soon as they met, Wan Chengcheng apologized repeatedly, saying that he was only busy with the company's affairs and snubbed his old classmates.
It was just the two of them that night. After a few glasses of wine, the two suddenly returned to their middle school days. While pulling and drinking, the two bottles of Moutai drank upside down.
Still unsatisfied, the two drank another case of beer.
That night, Li Ji was drunk, and Wan Cheng asked someone to open a room for him in the Marriott Hotel, and it seemed that he was still sitting and talking.
However, Li Ji didn't remember it at all. When Wan Cheng left, he didn't know.
When Li Ji woke up, it was already the next morning. When I was leaving, I picked up my briefcase and found that it seemed to have been opened. I didn't care about it at the time, but now that I think about it, I have a lot of doubts.
But how could Wancheng harm me?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. Li Ji shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to drive this terrible thought out of his mind.
"Head, it's here!" Xiao Zhu's shout woke Li Ji up, and he jerked his head up to find that the car had stopped on the side of the road.
The red sunset fell on the barren grass and ruins, and there was an indescribable depression. Li Ji got out of the car, stood on the side of the road, and looked around.
There are fields and barren grasses everywhere, and some tall and low buildings and houses can only be seen from a distance.
Previously, this area was all crop fields. Three years ago, the new mayor drew on the experience of other places to designate the area as a development zone. Leveling the land, attracting investment, and laying the foundation stone ceremony were once prosperous.
But just two years later, with the change of mayor, the place immediately became crowded, and many previous projects were halted. Today, it has long since returned to its original appearance, like a wasteland.
The area of Shin Shin Company's land is not small, but it can be valued at 180 million, which is really much.
Before coming, Li Ji roughly calculated that this land is currently worth up to 40 million according to the situation of the location of Xinxin Company. Even a year ago, it would not have exceeded 50 million.
A gust of wind blew and made the branches of the barren grass and trees rattle. "Let's go, go over and have a look!" Li Ji said, picking up knee-high shrubs and weeds, and walked forward.
The gate is still the same as when I came a few days ago. The three of them circled around the factory. The courtyard wall is almost not intact, there are gaps here and there, and there are even more grass and small trees around it, which have obviously been abandoned for a long time.
Li Ji looked back at Xiao Zhang and couldn't help asking, "With such a large loan, didn't you come to the field to take a good look at the collateral?" ”
Xiao Zhang's face was embarrassed, his face turned red, and after a while, he lowered his head and said: "Mr. Cui said that for a company like Marriott Group, mortgage is just a formality, and it goes through the motions......"
"Hey," Li Ji sighed, "Xiao Zhang, that's what your account manager has done all these years?" ”
Xiao Zhang stopped talking, grabbed the briefcase with both hands, and stared at the tips of his shoes.
"Forget it, let's go back." Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Li Ji's heart also became heavy.
The three of them walked silently, and no one spoke. The shadows of the setting sun stretched very long, overlapping and separating on the ground.
As soon as I walked to the side of the road, I suddenly heard a screeching sound of brakes. The three of them couldn't help but look up and saw a white van parked at the intersection.
As soon as the door opened, several tall and strong men jumped out of the car, each holding a stick in their hands.
Li Ji took two more steps forward and stopped abruptly.
"Stop, I'm here to steal from the factory!"
A man with a meaty face and a gold chain the size of a little finger around his neck rushed up to him and shouted.
Li Ji was stunned.
As he spoke, the men rushed up and surrounded the three of them.
"Nonsense, who stole something?" Xiao Zhu was a little angry, rushed forward, and glared at the "golden chain": "We are from the bank, come to the factory to have a look!" ”
"Bank's? Who to fool! "Golden Chain" sneered, "It's to see that there is no one in the factory, let's steal something!" ”
"You see this factory is like this, what is there to steal?" Li Ji was.
"They're sneaky here, and they're definitely not doing good things!" A muscular man in the back came over.
"Don't talk to them, I'll arrest them!" The face of the "Golden Chain" changed.
Several people rushed forward, and without saying anything, they put the three of them up, dragged them onto the van.
