Chapter 416 The disintegrated Chen family has the last straw
There are only two people left in the office.
Zhuo Zhiyong explained the investigation report in his hand: "Based on the clues provided by Mr. Fang, I investigated Liang Kaifu, Hu Yuhai's father-in-law.
"Four months ago, the antique shop opened by Liang Kaifu sent a 'blue and white cloud and dragon pattern ten-ribbed sunflower petal brush washer' to Xiangjiang for auction.
"There are photos in the information Mr. Fang has, which I got from the auction company.
“It also comes with a professional appraisal certificate.
“Judging from the appraisal certificate, the procedures are complete.
“However, this industry is in deep water, and it is impossible to determine whether this antique brush washer is genuine or not.
"When this brush washer was auctioned in Xiangjiang, two companies bid for it, and it finally sold for a high price of 8 million.
"I checked the two bidding companies based on the auction company's information, and found that one of the companies canceled its bid not long after the auction ended.
"The other company is a pawn shop in Xiangjiang.
"The business of this pawn shop is relatively complicated. It does pawns and mortgages. Mr. Fang can be understood as a gray business.
“According to my experience, this deregistered company should have been specially registered to bid for pen washes.
"And the pawn shop charges a commission to help raise the price.
"From a procedural point of view, this auction was conducted very carefully and there are no procedural problems."
When Fang Xing heard this, he already guessed that the antique auction must be a specific method of bribery.
However, so far, there is no empirical evidence and everything is just speculation.
"Is there any more?" Fang Xing asked.
Zhuo Zhiyong smiled and replied: "If this is all that is found, there is no point in coming to see Mr. Fang."
He paused and then said: "Mr. Fang turned to page 13, and I checked the identity of the legal person based on the canceled company.
"The legal person's identity is very ordinary, a retired employee of Donghai.
"However, unfortunately, this nephew of the company's legal person works at Dingsheng Capital and is the assistant to Feng Yunbin, the executive director of Dingsheng Capital.
"Now that the matter has been investigated, I think Mr. Fang has got the answer he wants.
"However, after reporting the investigation results, I would like to give Mr. Fang some legal advice.
"I don't know, Mr. Fang, do you want to hear it?"
"Tell me about it." Fang Xing was still very satisfied with the investigation report.
“Judging from the investigation results and based on experience, I can confirm that Dingsheng Capital paid bribes to Hu Yuhai through antique auctions.
"However, these are only the clues investigated, and in fact the evidence chain is not complete.
"Unless a higher-level department intervenes in the investigation and obtains evidence, it is impossible to convict based on this report alone.
“One of the key issues is that it cannot be proven that Dingsheng Capital bids for antiques in order to pay bribes.
"It is also impossible to prove that Hu Yuhai's father-in-law auctioned antiques and had direct power transactions with him.
"If you want to convict, several pieces of evidence must be obtained.
"The first one is that antique.
"Second, it also proves that Hu Yuhai and Dingsheng Capital completed the rights transaction."
After Fang Xing listened carefully, he said calmly: "Mr. Zhuo is indeed very capable. I am very satisfied with the results of this investigation. I wonder if Mr. Qiao has negotiated remuneration with you?"
"This is not important, I just want to make friends with Mr. Fang." Zhuo Zhiyong did not mention the money.
"One horse, one horse. Otherwise, wouldn't it be appropriate to give him two million as a friend, Mr. Zhuo?" Fang Xing was very happy and prepared to directly offer him two million as a reward.
Two million people are investigating such a thing, which is actually very high.
Zhuo Zhiyong is very satisfied with this number.
Of course, he also knew that this money was not only remuneration, but also hush money.
As long as he takes the money, this investigation report will be locked up here, and the whole thing must be kept secret.
Zhuo Zhiyong stood up and shook hands: "Mr. Fang is so polite. I'm glad to meet Mr. Fang. If you need any help in the future, just ask."
Fang Xing shook hands with him, then called the finance manager and led Zhuo Zhiyong to settle the bill.
…
After Zhuo Zhiyong left, Fang Xing fell into deep thought.
Strictly speaking, this investigation report has an insufficient chain of evidence.
Because all the clues have no empirical evidence at key points and are all connected by reasoning.
If we follow normal procedures, we can submit this report to the investigation team.
Or you can give it directly to Liu Jian'an.
As Hu Yuhai's opponent, Liu Jian'an knows what to do.
However, if normal procedures were followed, Hu Yuhai would probably collapse.
However, it poses little threat to Dingsheng Capital.
…
at the same time.
Due to the failure to get over the hangover and the fact that Pengcheng Capital had suffered losses for three consecutive years, problems began to arise in the capital chain.
The combination of various factors led to the intensification of internal conflicts in the Chen family.
This time, the 1.5 billion project of Weili Construction was stranded. In order to protect themselves, Pengcheng Capital and Dingsheng Capital directly gave up the company Weli Construction.
This also means that Pengcheng Capital’s investment in Weili Construction over the past three years has been completely wasted.
This loss will be a big hole.
When Willie Construction was still in good condition, this big hole would not be reflected in the financial report.
Now that it has been completely cut with Willie Construction, this big hole has emerged.
In addition to the Chen family, other major shareholders of Pengcheng Capital discovered the problem and began to withdraw their capital.
Chen Lipeng met with the company's major shareholders for several days in a row, trying to save the company, but all ended in failure.
After shareholders began to withdraw their capital, Pengcheng Capital's liquidity dried up and it was no longer even able to invest in new projects.
Without consulting Chen Xingye, Chen Lipeng began to cut off the company's redundant departments and projects with no short-term benefits, and tried his best to reduce expenses.
Pengcheng Capital reduced expenses and shrank cash flow.
Yes, Chen Wenhan's personal studio has no source of funds, causing him to be unable to pay many of his expenses, and companies have even begun to demand debts.
Chen Wenhan originally fell in love with a supercar and took a little star for a test drive. When he was about to buy it, he found that he couldn't pay with his credit card.
He angrily returned to the studio to question his agent, only to learn that Pengcheng Capital had cut off his studio's funding.
…
At night.
Chen Lipeng has just returned to Shengtian Zunpin.
Chen Wenhan angrily went up and asked: "What do you mean? Stop the funds in my studio? You are only the third shareholder, what authority do you have to stop the funds in my account?"
Chen Lipeng ignored him and went directly into the study.
Chen Xingye sat in the study with a gloomy face and asked: "Is it your decision to abolish the company on a large scale?"
"Yes, if you don't do this, the capital chain will be broken. If shareholders withdraw their capital, the capital chain will be broken. If you can't invest in new projects, you won't even have a chance to turn around." Chen Lipeng looked very serious.
Chen Wenhan followed him to the study room and cursed: "It's not because you are useless, so why should you pay for it?"
"Shut up, I never said anything about you before, I just think it's not my business!" Chen Lipeng turned around and angrily scolded Chen Wenhan.
Chen Wenhan felt even more funny and laughed: "Second uncle, I call you uncle, do you really think of yourself as an elder? Can you see it clearly?"
"Don't you know what you have been doing in the past few years? The company always loses money on any project it invests in.
"Now, the only profitable thing in the whole family is my personal studio! What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
Ever since Chen Wenhan gave up studying and became a star, with his persona of a violin prince, many fans did not like this.
Therefore, his personal studio is indeed profitable, and it is one of the few profitable projects invested by Pengcheng Capital in recent years.
Chen Lipeng said with a cold expression:
"Yes, that's right. Your studio has made a profit of 3.57 million since last year.
"Then please explain. You and Zhong Xuanya, the leader of the Chaoyin cultural girl group ANJI, were photographed by the paparazzi. You bought the photos for 2 million, and it was the company's account.
"There is also the little star who played for you last year. I invested 20 million in the online drama. In the end, it was not broadcast, and the company's account went to it.
“Giving little celebrities watches, bags, and luxury goods, 1.5 million goes to the company’s account.
“The supercar I bought at the beginning of the year was 15 million, and it was still the company’s account.
"I won't forget your other daily expenses.
"When will you clear all these accounts and tell me that your studio is profitable!"
Bang!
Chen Xingye slapped his hand on the table and shouted: "That's enough! What does it look like when a family is quarreling like this?"
Chen Lipeng swallowed the breath in his throat and said, "Dad, I've had enough. I've been in charge of the company for fifteen years, but have any of you ever respected me?
"If the company invests in a project that suffers a loss, it is all my responsibility. When it makes a profit, it has nothing to do with me.
"I said a long time ago that you can't go against Fang Xing.
"I have laid out the drinks and drinks, but except for me, no one from the Chen family is willing to come. How can you let us drink this wine?"
Chen Xingye sighed and reassured: "Li Peng, I know you are working hard, haven't I never blamed you? Investment failure is not one person's responsibility.
"Now that our family is encountering difficulties, we should work together to run the company well instead of blaming each other."
Chen Lipeng took a deep breath and said: "I think so too, but does it work just because I think about it?
"I'm working hard for the company and trying every means to reduce expenses.
"But your good grandson is yelling at me because he couldn't get the money out of his credit card to buy a car.
"Dad, are you sure our family is still of the same mind?"
Chen Xingye glared at Chen Wenhan and scolded: "You are no longer young, so you should take responsibility. When can you not buy a car? Has it got to be this time?
"From now on, everyone in the family will have to reduce their expenses.
"Run the company well and keep the Chen family's industry."
Chen Wenhan had never been reprimanded like this before. He was very dissatisfied and was about to refute.
Chen's mother came in from outside, reached out and took her son's arm, and spoke first: "Dad, Wenhan knows he was wrong. The family is indeed encountering some difficulties now, but isn't Wenhan's studio still profitable?
"Since Wenhan's studio can make a profit, it means it has commercial value.
"Wenhan will definitely work hard and support the company."
Chen Xingye nodded and said: "This is best, second brother, you also help Wenhan. Since it can make a profit, it means there is no problem with the operation. Send some people to help Wenhan."
…
Although the internal conflicts within the Chen family did not completely break out due to Chen Xingye's dissuasion, the seeds had been planted.
From a business perspective, Chen Wenhan's personal studio is indeed profitable.
It is indeed easy to make money in the domestic entertainment industry. As long as there are resources, a star can make hundreds of millions.
Moreover, the persona of Chen Wenhan, a violin prince, has no competition in the entertainment industry.
If he hadn't been thinking about making money at all, the studio's profit would have been more than three million.
Although Chen Lipeng openly promised Chen Xingye to help run Chen Wenhan's studio.
However, now there is discord within the Chen family.
Moreover, Chen Lipeng did not think that Chen Wenhan was a seedling that could be cultivated, so he only agreed verbally and did not put any energy into it.
Because Pengcheng Capital cut off the funding supply to Chen Wenhan's personal studio, it was very inconvenient for Chen Wenhan to spend money.
In the past, if he wanted to spend money, he could use the studio or the company's account.
It's no longer possible now, so spend some money to tie up your hands.
Especially last time, he went to test drive a supercar with a little star, but he couldn't get any money out when he swiped his credit card. This was extremely embarrassing for him.
Even in the circles of small celebrities, news has begun to spread that the Chen family is going bankrupt and Chen Wenhan cannot afford a car.
Because of this matter, Chen Wenhan was very upset.
Moreover, Chen's mother had to urge him every day to work hard, build up the studio, make achievements, and slap Chen Lipeng in the face.
Therefore, Chen Wenhan was holding back a fire in his heart and wanted to start a profitable project.
However, now his studio has no funds, so he is limited in whatever projects he wants to pursue.
He is even less willing to work tirelessly to make money by running announcements.
…
This evening.
Chen Wenhan was drinking with a group of friends in the Jinzun Nightclub.
When he was a little drunk, a well-established celebrity agent put his arm around his shoulders and asked: "Mr. Chen, I heard that I recently wanted to buy a supercar but failed."
When Chen Wenhan heard this, his face suddenly darkened, he pushed him away hard, and hummed: "What do you mean?"
The celebrity manager laughed, then reached out to hug his shoulders and said, "Don't be so angry, Mr. Chen. Isn't it because Mr. Chen is so famous now that I want to ask Mr. Chen to help with some of the programs I have?"
Chen Wenhan said coldly: "You want to invite me to those little shows of yours? What do you want?"
The celebrity manager was not angry and asked with a smile: "Where did Mr. Chen make a fortune recently? Please help me with my little brother."
"What's easy to make money now?" Chen Wenhan thought about money and really wanted to build a project that could make money.
"There is gold everywhere in the entertainment industry. For a star like Mr. Chen, who is young, rich, and talented, how many female fans will go crazy for you. You can earn hundreds of millions by just filming a sweet pet drama."
The celebrity agent said.
In recent years, sweet pet online dramas have become very popular. The key is low cost and stable profits.
Just hire two decent-looking traffic stars to play the male and female leads, film it and broadcast it online, fans will lick the screen, and the platform and investors will make money.
When Chen Wenhan first opened his studio, many celebrities sent congratulations on Weibo. He also posted a message on Weibo: I am the domineering president.
Isn't it him who is the male protagonist of a sweet drama like the domineering president?
Chen Wenhan feels that this kind of project can indeed be done. The key is low cost and easy profit.
"My second uncle is in charge of the company now, and I'm worried that he won't invest in me." Chen Wenhan felt very dissatisfied when he thought of investing.
"Isn't it easy to invest? Isn't Mr. Chen friends with many capital bosses? For example, Mr. Feng from Hengsheng and Mr. Li from Baili. With Mr. Chen's reputation, isn't it easy to attract investment?" Star Broker Help
He thinks of a way.
When Chen Wenhan heard this, he immediately woke up from his drunkenness. He felt that this method was feasible and he could go to Feng Yunbin to invest.
only.
When he went to Dingsheng Capital to find Feng Yunbin the next day, Feng Yunbin rolled his eyes and was asked out by the security guard. He was furious.
