This time, it was Lu Zhilian who answered Zhou Xingxing’s question.
"HSBC is definitely keen on this money. They cannot take possession of it openly. But if the money is not returned directly according to the original method of raising funds, they will have a lot of room for manipulation. In fact, I doubt that this
The money has been unable to be transferred out for a long time, and they must have put a certain amount of effort into it."
As the investigation director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Luk Zhilian naturally knows how tempting money is to people.
HSBC Hong Kong Island Branch has been having a tough time these past few years.
Because they suffered several consecutive robberies and even lost hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, the trust of many customers was wiped out. Although they have not incurred losses, their profits have also not met expectations.
Originally, they thought of many ways before they finally managed to win over Z Fund, which they thought was a big customer, and let them open an account in their bank.
As a result, the Z Fund has not yet fully received the money, but something happened to the Z Fund.
Seeing that such a large amount of money was about to be transferred out again, HSBC naturally began to think of ways.
They really have no right or reason to directly embezzle the money.
But if you muddy the water and even help some customers of your own bank to benefit from this fund, then the money will only be transferred from the Z Fund account to another account, but the money will eventually fall into the pockets of their banks.
"These people have dark hearts. I suspect they will forge their own investment documents and then participate in distributing money out of thin air."
"Damn, I wish I knew the executives of HSBC. Then I could ask them to forge an investment and then put the money into their own pockets."
Zhou Xingxing was very excited when he received Lu Zhilian's response.
When he heard Lu Zhilian say that many previous investors of Z Fund had appeared and wanted to share money from their current accounts, he immediately suspected whether the other party was committing fraud.
After all, Hu Zhiyong and most of the senior executives of Z Fund have already joined, and the original accountants Luo Yong and Chen Yongcai are also dead.
These people are either unable to speak, or they have no channels to speak, so even if someone fakes the investment, it may be difficult to be exposed.
"Can it still be done like this?"
Liu Baoqiang, who had not spoken at all, suddenly became curious when he heard Zhou Xingxing's thoughts.
"Theoretically, this can really be done."
Regarding Zhou Xingxing's nonsensical speculation, Lu Zhilian came to a definite answer.
Naturally, it is impossible for all those who are currently participating in the competition for funds in the Z Fund account to have invested in Z Fund before, but they still have the confidence to participate in the competition for this money. In fact, they are using the method Zhou Xingxing guessed, forging or making excuses.
Said that he invested in Z Fund.
On the contrary, their status and strength are sufficient. As long as they open their mouths and provide some evidence or something, someone will naturally help them handle it. Even if it is not handled well, I believe no one on Hong Kong Island has the courage to investigate them.
"It's so lawless. In this case, they took the money. Can your Independent Commission Against Corruption launch a corruption investigation against them?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard that Lu Zhilian actually admitted that this method could be achieved.
"This really doesn't work. Whether they are true or false, at least it makes sense on the surface."
Lu Zhilian showed his inability to do so.
"Ahem, these people are really shameless. As a law enforcer, I can't be indifferent to such a guy who blatantly floutes the law. And since you spent so much money to treat me to a meal, you are still so sincere.
If you invite me, it would be unreasonable if I don't give you face."
Sir Zhang, who was originally disinterested in this matter, heard that many people were thinking about the 100 billion in the Z Fund account, and it seemed that the money might really be misappropriated by others instead of being returned directly.
When he saw it, his heart suddenly moved.
Due to his increasing status recently, many things that he could do before have obviously become less easy.
Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the handling of some black money or the handling of criminals in the past.
When Sir Zhang was still an unknown little policeman, some things he did went too far or were against the rules, even if they involved things that were not allowed by regulations, it would not have much impact on him. As long as he was not caught with evidence,
Then everything is easy to say.
But it's different now.
When he reaches Sir Zhang's position, no matter how flawlessly he does some things, due to his reputation, many times others will blame him even if he did not do it.
Especially because we know that he has outstanding abilities and does not even need to look for evidence for many things, because everyone knows that with Sir Zhang's ability, it is not childish to destroy evidence as long as he is willing.
So many times, as long as they are sure that the matter is of great benefit to him, others will assume that it was Zhang Pin who did it.
And when he has reached this stage, every move has different meanings, and many times he no longer pays attention to evidence.
This time when he heard that everyone was interested in the money in the Z Fund account, Sir Zhang found that this was a good opportunity.
Everyone is watching, which means everyone is suspicious.
And if the money is returned via the original route, there will naturally be nothing to say. This is a matter of course.
But now the money is no longer returned the way it came. It seems that whoever is more capable can take it away.
For Sir Zhang, this is considered ill-gotten wealth.
Especially those guys who can take the money out of the Z Fund account at this time and turn it into their own. Nine out of ten are bad people, and the remaining one is definitely the kind that is so bad that it oozes pus.
Rather than letting such people transfer the money away, it would be better for Sir Zhang to take action and recharge the money.
When the time comes, Sir Zhang will use the recharged ability to protect Hong Kong Island, which will allow the money to play a greater role in disguise.
It's better than having the money taken away by others inexplicably and then having a grand feast.
After Zhang Sir thought about it carefully, he felt that he was too kind and too great.
There is no way, with greater power comes greater responsibility. Instead of letting the money stay in the Z Fund account and attract all kinds of jackals, tigers and leopards, it is better to take it by yourself and use it for the people.
After all, I didn’t see even a bad guy like Benjamin thinking about this money. As a big outside banker, the other party is bound to not be too disciplined in doing things.
If the other party is allowed to stay on Hong Kong Island for a long time, the ordinary citizens of Hong Kong Island will be the unlucky ones in the end.
As a law enforcer on Hong Kong Island, Sir Zhang is naturally obliged to prevent such things from happening.
Sir Zhang was almost moved to tears by his great sentiments.
"Thank you, Sir Zhang. I knew you would not remain indifferent."
Hearing Zhang Pin's words, Lu Zhilian was really moved.
After all, Zhang Pin has made it very clear just now that even if this matter is done well, it will not increase Sir Zhang's reputation and will not bring enough financial benefits.
Therefore, Sir Zhang’s participation in this case is purely for justice in his heart and his job responsibilities.
For such a person who purely pursues ideals and interests, Lu Zhilian's admiration is completely sincere.
After all, except for smart readers, who would have thought that Zhang Pin would actually be carrying a system on his body.
"With Sir Zhang joining, things will be much easier. By the way, I recently heard a news that someone spent a lot of money to invite a lot of dirty rats from over there, probably for the Z Fund.
of."
After Zhang Pin was confirmed to join, Liu Baoqiang, who had been immersed in eating, finally raised his head and expressed his opinion.
The shooting incident at the Jockey Club last time made him and Zhou Xingxing stand out, and the higher-ups were already interested in promoting them.
The reason why he was invited to attend the dinner this time was of course not just for a bite to eat, but also for the long-term future of eating.
It's just that since Zhang Pin didn't nod before, it was naturally inconvenient for him to speak.
"Brother Six, the money you left us is wrong. Didn't you say 30,000 yuan per person? The total here is only 30,000 yuan?"
In a small hotel in Mong Kok, Lai Fu, wearing glasses, was hiding in the corner talking on the phone with Lao Liu.
After confirming that there was a mission, Laifu quickly organized the manpower, and through Lao Liu's relationship, he obtained a visa and came to Hong Kong Island.
Here, Lao Liu has prepared a place for them to live in advance, and also left a sum of money.
The reason why the Dirty Rats are called Dirty Rats is because they have no contact with buyers from the time they step into Hong Kong Island to the time they complete their tasks, and they only communicate with agents by phone.
Both parties are separated from each other, so even if something goes wrong and the culprit is finally wronged, the police will have no evidence. Even if they find the middleman, they can't do anything to the other party. He can definitely say that the money was stolen, let alone
Said the buyer was implicated.
There are several prerequisites for doing this. First of all, you need to prepare the reward for the dirty rat in advance, so that the other party can leave immediately after finishing the work.
And you won’t have to ask the buyer for any favors afterwards.
Of course, the mission objectives must be prepared in advance and accurate information given, otherwise the dirty rats may not understand the instructions or find the wrong target.
Before setting off this time, Laifu and Lao Liu made an agreement. Originally, for a business deal, Zilu Shu could usually get about 50,000 yuan in benefits, and if it was more, it might even be 100,000 yuan.
After all, they basically only do business once in their lives, and if they do it alone, their lives can be lost if they are not careful.
In addition, this method is safe and worry-free, and there is no need to worry about the balance of money, so the price began to gradually rise.
However, Lao Liu told Laifu that this time because there were more people, the risk would normally be smaller, so the benefit fee was directly discounted compared to the past, and was finally determined to be 30,000 yuan per person.
But when Laifu took the people to the hotel where they were staying and got the benefits that Lao Liu had put here in advance, it took a long time to find out that there was a total of 30,000 yuan in the bag.
So he immediately called and confirmed with the other party.
"Oh, Laifu, this is a big business, it's different from the small business in the past.
There are a dozen of you this time, and it’s hundreds of thousands all at once. How can they give it to you all at once?
This 30,000 yuan is a deposit. You know, the remaining money will be given to you after the task is completed.
By the way, you have been hiding in the hotel in the past few days. The boss is an acquaintance of mine.
Then wait for my call, and don't cause trouble during this period, otherwise the transaction will be delayed, and it will not only be as simple as losing money."
On the other end of the phone, a chubby guy with a big mole on his face, the sixth man, was counting the money in a leisurely manner with his beaming wife.
On the small table in front of the two of them, there were dozens of piles of banknotes.
In fact, Laifu and others still had too little experience, so they were deceived by Lao Liu.
The other party used the excuse that because there were many people, the risk was low and therefore the price was low.
But in fact, when the boss contacted him, he heard that the other party wanted as many people as possible, so he immediately doubled the original quotation due to the high risk of the task and the difficulty in personnel placement.
In the past, when Lao Liu helped contact a dirty rat, the price ranged from 100,000 to 300,000. He usually gave the dirty rat a price ranging from 50,000 to 100,000, and he made the rest of the money himself.
This time he took it all and quoted 500,000 yuan per head to the boss who needed dirty rats. Then he killed Laifu's first-hand price and only offered 300,000 yuan per head. So he made 400,000 per person.
Seventy thousand.
This time Laifu brought a total of fifteen people over.
Lao Liu earned more than 7 million in one go.
Even though he has made so much money, this guy Lao Liu still has some crooked ideas.
When the buyer promised to spend 500,000 per head to hire a dirty rat, he knew that this mission must be very risky.
Then this heartless guy thought that maybe all the guys who came to Hong Kong Island this time would die here.
And he already has an income of more than 7 million, including the money he saved before, which is enough for him to immigrate to Europe and the United States and live a good life.
So he simply wasn't even prepared to pay the head fee of 30,000 yuan after the bargaining price.
He only left 30,000 yuan for Laifu and others to use for food expenses, and then kept the more than 400,000 yuan that he originally planned to give to the other party.
Although he has done such a wicked and evil thing, he is still very proud of himself, and he has to be as perfunctory as possible about Laifu's inquiries.
"I know, I will ask them to stay there honestly, and you should also decide on the task early. We only have seven days in total. We must leave some time for everyone to shop, and the risk will be very high if we stay too long."
Laifu didn't know that Lao Liu had already planned to wait for them all to be finished, and then swallow up their prostitution money.
At this moment, he was still imagining that after completing his mission, he would get the money and bring back some Hong Kong Island specialties to his relatives and friends in his hometown.
"By the way, Brother Six, the guns you left us seem to have been used, so if anything happens, wouldn't all the cases involving this gun be blamed on us?
"
Laifu did not dwell too much on the money issue and asked another question.
They all came to Hong Kong Island through immigration, so naturally they couldn't have weapons on them.
As the middleman, Lao Liu received so much money to prepare the hideout address and weapons for Dirty Rat, which was already agreed upon.
But according to the previous rules, the weapons they prepared must be brand new and unused.
In this way, even if he is exposed, the dirty rat will have an excuse to escape.
