"That's true." Even though he knew Karen probably wouldn't believe it, the assistant still gave her a definite answer.
"Okay, let's just assume what you said is true..." Karen nodded, then suddenly darkened her face, "So what?"
"If the president really trusts me, then the next thing will be much easier to handle." The assistant was stunned for a moment, and then laughed easily.
"For example?" Karen asked with an incomprehensible look.
She couldn't say whether she believed this assistant or not, but she was certain that there was something wrong with him.
However, she didn't pay much attention to these business matters, and the current situation was so chaotic that there was no one around her to help her. Therefore, even if she knew that he had a problem, she could only choose to take a risky gamble.
"For example, this." The assistant picked up the document that had just been handed over to Karen on the table, opened it, turned to a certain page and pointed it to Karen, and said, "This is the financial statement of several subsidiaries of Shaw Brothers this quarter.
."
"What's the problem?" Karen took it and took a look. Judging from the data on the report, everything was normal.
"Before President Shao's accident, the president asked the financial department to calculate all the data. This is the calculated report sent by the financial director two days ago, including the report of Shaw's existing assets, all of which are attached." The assistant pulled out another report from the table.
A report was opened and handed to Karen. This was the one Karen had read before the assistant came in.
"I've also read this." The implication was that there was nothing unusual about it.
And this is indeed the case. Although Karen has not read all of it, judging from the previous recalculated data, there is indeed nothing wrong with it.
"Yes, there is nothing wrong with these data, but if the president puts the three reports together and compares them..."
Before the assistant finished speaking, Karen had already understood.
The so-called three statements refer to the financial statements of Shaw's subsidiaries that the assistant just sent over, as well as the quarterly financial statements of Shaw Group that Karen previously requested the financial department to recalculate, and the total assets statement of all Shaw's industries.
.
According to what the assistant said, Karen put the three reports together for comparison and quickly discovered the problem...
"What's going on?" Karen couldn't believe what she saw. The income status of those subsidiaries was not reflected in the group's statements!
In other words, those subsidiaries are like a funnel, you can only get in but not get out!
Shaw Group will provide financial support to its subsidiaries every year based on their operating conditions and plans. Correspondingly, part of the annual income of the subsidiaries will belong to Shaw.
But the current situation is that Shaw Group still gives money to these subsidiaries, but the subsidiaries attribute all the income to themselves. No wonder there will be losses in the quarterly statements. This way, you can only get out but not get in. If there is no loss
That's the weird thing.
"Humph!" Karen closed the document heavily, her expression changing.
It's impossible for the financial director not to know about such a big thing, not to mention that these data have always been confirmed by him before being archived. So, there must be something wrong with the financial director. I just don't know...
"Besides you, how many people know about this?" Karen glanced at the documents on the table and asked her assistant.
"This..." the assistant hesitated, and after taking a look at Karen's face, he said hesitantly, "The financial statements of the subsidiary were not sent by them themselves, nor did they go through the hands of the financial director. They were passed by me...
Got it by other means."
Karen was stunned for a moment. Although she thought there was something fishy involved, she didn't expect the truth to be like this.
"In addition, these problematic subsidiaries all have a common feature, that is, they are owned by several major shareholders of the board of directors. For example, this one is owned by Director Huang who proposed to convene the board of directors today." The assistant pointed to the document.
On a certain page, he continued to explain to Karen.
"So sure?" Karen glanced at the document, then raised her eyes and looked at the assistant with an inexplicable expression.
She knew that this was not a secret matter. If she really didn't believe it, she could just check it out. I believe she would get the result in less than ten minutes.
But what she didn't understand was that these people were not fools. How could they not even make a fake account and just make such a big mistake to use as evidence for her?
"What?" Of course the assistant didn't know what Karen was thinking about Karen, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Only when he came back to his senses did he remember that there were more important things that he hadn't explained.
"At the afternoon board meeting, the major shareholders will be present. The president will bring these documents with him. I believe they will know how to do it even without the president saying anything."
Karen nodded and said nothing more.
Rather than passively defending, it is better to take the initiative. Although this is indeed a way, Karen always feels that it seems a bit too easy. If nothing else, this subsidiary's quarterly financial statement alone should not appear here.
.Even if it happens, it won’t be now.
However, it happened to appear. And precisely because of its appearance, she was able to successfully solve the predicament at hand. It was as if someone knew that she had this need and specifically found this report for her.
Although this report was sent by an assistant, Karen believed that he was not the one who actually found this report. Otherwise, his position would not be just assistant to the president.
Although she had doubts in her heart and wanted to know what was going on, she also knew that based on the current situation, even if she really asked, he would definitely not tell her the truth. Otherwise,
He wouldn't bring up those old things just to make her believe that this was his fault.
To Karen's surprise, during the afternoon board meeting, the situation developed just as the assistant expected. A group of shareholders, led by Director Huang, attacked her from the beginning, accusing her of insufficient ability to solve Shaw's current situation.
In view of the difficult situation, it is proposed to select another qualified person to take the position of president of Shaw Brothers.
However, when she took out those few documents, everyone was immediately speechless. Without her even needing to come forward, other shareholders immediately jumped out to question several shareholders headed by Director Huang, asking them to explain the development of the matter.
In the end, even the police were dispatched.
When the police arrived at the scene, they took away the financial director of Shaw Brothers who was sitting next to him without saying a word. He was charged with falsifying accounts and embezzling public funds.
After witnessing the arrest of the financial director, those shareholders who were already harboring ulterior motives no longer dared to speak nonsense.
At this point, the Shaw Brothers crisis has been temporarily resolved.
The reason why I say temporarily is because Shaw Group still has many other problems, but this one is relatively difficult. Correspondingly, as long as this problem is solved, the others will be solved. It just takes time.
It's just a question.
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to go to Shaw Brothers at this time?" In the president's office of SGB Group, Yang Zi looked at Ke Ziqi who came in with Luo Tianya and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
After a pause, Yang Zi turned back to Luo Tianya and said, "You too, didn't I tell you to rest at home for two more days?"
Although the words were reproachful, his tone was full of concern.
After Mr. Luo passed away, Yang Zi saw that Luo Tianya had been in low spirits, so he asked her to rest at home.
"Why, you don't want to see me?" Luo Tianya raised her eyebrows and pretended to turn around and leave.
"No way, I wish I could see you twenty-four hours a day." Yang Zi quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold Luo Tianya, and confessed his love.
"Oh, I'm telling you, why don't you find a place where no one is around to show your affection? Do you really think I'm transparent or do you think I don't exist? I'm so embarrassed for you." See you two days ago, you looked sweet.
With such a sweet look, Ke Ziqi was happy for Luo Tianya, but he couldn't help teasing the two of them.
"Are you envious?" Yang Zi put his arms around Luo Tianya and said slightly provocatively. Although Ke Ziqi already has Karen, who knows if he has really given up on Luo Tianya?
"Yes, I'm envious." Ke Ziqi nodded and admitted with a serious look.
"What?" Yang Zi didn't expect Ke Ziqi to actually admit it, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Luo Tianya beside him also looked thoughtful.
"What's wrong with Karen?" Luo Tianya took away Yang Zi's hand, walked up to Ke Ziqi, and asked directly. The only person who can make Ke Ziqi show such an expression now is Karen.
Alright.
"I'm sorry, I..." Upon hearing Karen's name, Yang Zi immediately realized that he had misunderstood Ke Ziqi.
"It's nothing, everything has been solved." Ke Ziqi interrupted Yang Zi and replied.
"I said it was such a coincidence that even the police were alerted. It turned out to be you." Obviously, Yang Zi also heard about the Shaw Brothers and guessed that Ke Ziqi was secretly helping Karen.
That's right, the problems with the subsidiaries of Shaw Group were not discovered by Karen's assistant, but by Ke Ziqi who used his own power. The report was also handed over to the assistant by Ke Ziqi, and then asked him to
It was handed over to Karen. As for the police who arrested the financial director, it was naturally Ke Ziqi who called them.
It's not that he is powerful enough to instigate the police, but that the financial director himself has a problem. All he does is fulfill the responsibilities of a good citizen, discover crimes and report crimes.
"Pfft, you can be a little more unscrupulous." After hearing Yang Zi's explanation, Luo Tianya couldn't help laughing.
Ke Ziqi spread his hands and looked at Luo Tianya innocently: "I am a good person."
Luo Tianya didn't say anything, but the smile at the corner of her mouth grew a little thicker.
Seeing Luo Tianya laughing heartily, Yang Zi felt happy and at the same time couldn't help but feel jealous, like Ke Ziqi.
Because it was Ke Ziqi who made her smile like this, not Yang Zi.
"Tell me, President Ke Da, why are you here?" Yang Zi rolled his eyes at Ke Ziqi angrily, turned back to his desk and sat down.
