Tianma Group, Qi Zhongyuan Office.

Zhao Xiaocheng was reporting to Qi Zhongyuan that the funds raised by Tianma Group for purchasing Shikui's equity were raised. Qi Beiwang sat there impatiently, smoking one by one.

"We have collected deposits from various accounts in our group. The cash flow that can be used is about 20 million. If we want to buy the equity in Shi Kui, there is still a gap of 20 million." Zhao Xiaocheng said.

Qi Beiwang felt a chill. He knew that Tianma Group was tight at the moment, but he didn't expect that the entire group could not even raise 40 million in cash. So he asked: "Didn't Baicheng New Materials just received a loan of 200 million not long ago? Where did the money go?"

Zhao Xiaocheng said, "The 200 million yuan loan was also borrowed from outside. It was given to Donghua Kangmang Economic and Trade Co., Ltd. through the investment company we controlled. After paying the money to Baicheng, it was returned to the other party in the form of financial management through the investment company. In fact, the business lost more than 9 million yuan."

Qi Beiwang was a little unwilling to accept it, "How to solve the problem of that money? Can you owe Shi Kui first?"

Zhao Xiaocheng thought to himself that Qi Beiwang would be too naive to deal with this kind of problem. If it were usual, it would be owed tens of millions. But now everyone knows that the situation in Tianma Group is not good. Although Shi Kui has a good relationship with them, no one will be vague about the matters involving money. However, he thought to himself that he would never show any emotion in front of Qi Zhongyuan.

When Qi Bei saw Qi Zhongyuan, Zhao Xiaocheng refused to answer and said, "What about the other veterans? Our Tianma Group has treated them badly over the years. Uncle Li, Uncle Liu, and Wen Bo, who doesn't take advantage of one or two hundred million yuan, especially Uncle Li. Last year, he asked his nephew to win the bid. This project has made at least 70 to 80 million yuan. This time, when Tianma has difficulties, they can't stand by, right?"

Uncle Li, Uncle Liu, and Wen Bo mentioned are the three elders of Tianma Group, Li Shuyang, Liu Jinghua and Wen Maofeng. These three people conquered the world with Qi Zhongyuan. Now, although they are generally retreating to the second line with Qi Zhongyuan, there are still many middle and senior executives in Tianma Group who are loyal to these three, and they also have a lot of voice in the group.

Zhao Xiaocheng said: "It's safe to put the bag in your pocket, and it's a bit difficult for them to spit it out again."

Qi Beiwang said angrily, "Do we have no way to do anything?"

Qi Zhongyuan sat at the desk from beginning to end, without saying anything. He frowned, obviously falling into deep thought. If Ma Group is in debt today and its cash flow is almost broken, whether it can complete the 650 million yuan financing by the end of the year will be related to whether Tianma Group can overcome the difficulties smoothly. However, in the face of Donghua Bank's disagreement, he has taken risks and increased his voice through the controlling shareholder Hua Bank to obtain a loan, but he is trapped here by this mere 20 million cash.

After thinking for a long time, he picked up the phone at the desk and called Li Shuyang.

"Hey, is it Shu Yang?"

He said across the phone: "It's my elder brother, why do you remember to call me?"

Qi Zhongyuan said, "I have nothing to do today. I suddenly remembered that my brothers hadn't been together for a long time. How about it? When I have time to come to me for a drink of tea, talk about the past, and chat?"

Li Shuyang said, "Brother, I have been studying in Canada recently. Huihui is applying to Victoria University recently. Your brother and sister are here to not accompany your granddaughter."

Qi Zhongyuan responded, and the two chatted for a while before saying, "The group has a little shortage of funds recently. Do you see if you can take out some money and find a way to help the group turn over?"

"How much?"

"Twenty million!"

Li Shuyang's laughter suddenly stopped and said after a long time, "Brother, I'm a little nervous recently. I'm afraid I won't be able to take out 20 million for a while. But there are 2 million here. If you don't think there is less, just call her with my third wife. By the way, it's already snowing here. Brother, you have to take care of yourself there."

When the phone hung up, Qi Zhongyuan called the other two again, but the effect was not ideal. Either they were rude or they were too tight. Qi Beiwang cursed, "A group of ungrateful wolves! If it weren't for their father, they would have frozen to death and starved to death on the streets. Later, the company grew stronger and began to think of ways to make money from the company. When our group arrived at the field today, they had been scattered a lot, hum!"

Qi Zhongyuan couldn't help but sigh that when the four of them started their business, they lived in a small board house of four square meters, made a floor shop, and ate instant noodles. The four brothers worked together to turn the company to such a scale step by step. However, as more and more money, the relationship between the four people became increasingly indifferent. Qi Zhongyuan suddenly remembered a saying in his heart, starting a business and partnership can share the same woes, not the same joys.

He looked up at the words hanging on the office wall. It was Cao Mengde's "Short Songs" bought from the Hong Kong Auction House. The signature was Mr. Jingzhai. "Song of wine is the geometry of life." Qi Zhongyuan likes this poem very much, especially the sentence "Song of wine is the geometry of life". It is written in a heroic and grand manner, but in the current situation, he cannot stand up at all.

Qi Zhongyuan pondered for a long time before saying, "Xiaocheng. Since that money cannot be transferred abroad, can it be used temporarily?"

Zhao Xiaocheng felt nervous, "Chairman, you can't move this money."

Qi Beiwang said in surprise, "What's the money?"

Zhao Xiaocheng glanced at Qi Zhongyuan and received the approval from the other party, and then slowly said, "Two years ago, in order to deal with the future situation of the group, we registered a brand new company that has nothing to do with our group, and controlled a financial management platform in the province. There are p2p online loans, financial management companies, and micro loan companies under this platform. After more than two years of operation, it has raised nearly 500 million yuan. However, a few months ago, this platform company exploded and was seized by the provincial bureau. The corporate legal person was detained and investigated. At present, only one unrelated financial management app is still operating."

Qi Beiwang said in surprise, "Are you talking about Xiaoyao Financial Management?"

"This is just one of them." Zhao Xiaocheng said, "The provincial capital has set up a special task force to investigate this illegal fundraising, but the money has been transferred to hundreds of accounts and has been dormant. We originally wanted to transfer it out through underground money shops, but now the anti-money laundering and foreign exchange management are in great difficulty, so we have not dared to act rashly."

Qi Beiwang said: "But why did I hear that Shi Kui and the others are behind Xiaoyao Financial Management?"

Qi Zhongyuan sneered: "They themselves don't know who they are working for."

Zhao Xiaocheng was worried, "Some of these accounts were monitored. I am afraid that if the money is misappropriated, it will probably be traced back to our source by the Economic Investigation."

Qi Zhongyuan said: "Then be cautious. The PBOC transactions and anti-money laundering platforms can find up to seven or eight transactions. If you are from financial background, you can find ways to make it more concealed."

"Chairman, do we really want to do this?"

Qi Zhongyuan seemed to have made up his mind, "Do we have any other way?" He ordered again, "Beijing, take time to get your passport and visas from several other countries, prepare more for emergencies."

"Dad, what about you?"

Qi Zhongyuan stood up, "If the ship sinks, when have you ever seen the captain abandoned the ship and escape? I asked you to do this to make the worst plan, not to mention that although the situation is difficult now, we are not at the end of the road."

Qi Zhongyuan seemed to have endless passion in his heart. He seemed to have found the feeling of leading the Tianma Group to fight south and north, and said suddenly: "The key battle is at Donghua Bank!"

...

The next morning, as soon as Li Yishu arrived at the office, Xiao Wang from the Economic Investigation Department called, "Captain Li, there is a clue!"

"What clue?"

Xiao Wang said: "Last time we included several accounts that were key monitoring, and transfer transactions of less than 50,000 yuan occurred frequently last night. We transferred funds to several accounts in Xinjiang, Hunan and Guangxi. After four or five transactions, we arrived at a trust company in G Province. It seems that there is something going on."

Li Yishu thought to himself: "These transfers are less than 50,000 yuan, which can avoid the People's Bank of China's anti-money laundering identity identification, and the transfer time is at night. This operation is obviously not in line with common sense."

So he instructed Xiao Wang: "You continue to monitor these funds and learn about the recent projects of this trust company. I will go to Bureau Zhang to report on the work and ask him to coordinate and issue an anti-money laundering cooperation investigation letter to the People's Bank to see if there are similar account operations in Donghua City Bank in the near future."

According to the People's Bank of China, transfers of more than 50,000 yuan need to be carried out in a large-scale payment system. According to the anti-money laundering regulations, each transaction must be identified by the customer. The other party can effectively avoid this identification through a transfer of less than 50,000 yuan. However, for some banks in charge who are less than 50,000 yuan, some people in charge can also report suspicious transactions in the anti-money laundering monitoring system to identify money laundering activities such as illegal fundraising and anti-terrorism financing.

That night, a trust fund entered an investment company under Tianma Group and was paid to a personal account controlled by Shikui through equity transactions.

The next day, Tianma Group issued an announcement on its official website that its subsidiary Donghua Tianma Holdings Co., Ltd. added 4 million shares of Donghua Bank, holding a total of 5.1% of Donghua Bank's equity for the first time, and officially pursuing a stake in Donghua Bank.

This news caused a lot of shock in the Donghua financial circle.

Tianma Group is now in a debt crisis and can even increase its holdings in Donghua Bank under such adversity. This operation shows Qi Zhongyuan's unparalleled determination and courage.

More importantly, according to the Donghua Bank's constitution, Tianma Group will automatically obtain a seat on the board of directors, and correspondingly, Donghua Bank will also add an independent director. In this way, Donghua Bank's board of directors will reach nine members.

Industry analysts believe that Donghua Bank is about to go public, and this operation of Tianma Group will have a great impact on Donghua Bank's power structure and may even affect the power redistribution of Donghua City.

According to internal rumors, Tianma Group plans to nominate Liu Jianguo, vice president and risk control director, as a candidate for director. In contrast, Donghua Bank has hired Professor Luo Zhisen, a famous economist at HKU University, as an independent director. After ten days of convening an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, it will be accepted into the board of directors. Although it will take some time for the Banking Regulatory Bureau to approve the qualifications of office, according to the provisions of the Company Law, after the qualifications of directors are approved by the general meeting of shareholders, they can temporarily perform their duties.

"It's really outrageous!"

When Wang Chong walked into Lin Tianhua's office, Lin Tianhua was getting angry and the documents were scattered all over the floor. This was the first time that Wang Chong had seen Lin Tianhua get so angry after knowing him for so long.

Wang Chong did not make a sound, picked up the documents on the ground one by one, sorted them out and placed them on Lin Tianhua's desk. Lin Tianhua was still angry. Seeing that he was like this, Wang Chong stood sideways.

After a moment, Lin Tianhua calmed down and said coldly: "Is a scene going to happen four years ago?"

Four years ago, Lin Tianhua and Liu Jianguo fought for the president and ended up winning by a slight advantage.

At that time, there were seven members of the board of directors, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) occupied two seats, the Finance Bureau (Donghua Finance Company) occupied two seats, and two directors nominated by the shareholders of the enterprise, as well as an independent director. Lin Tianhua received a vote of two directors of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and one independent director, and Liu Jianguo also received three votes. Later, with the mediation of the city government leaders, Lin Tianhua received one vote from the Finance Bureau and successfully became the president. Now, the board of directors has increased to nine people all at once, and Liu Jianguo became the nominated director of Tianma Group. If the president vote is initiated again, the struggle between various factions will become more and more complicated. No one would have expected the result of the vote.

At that time, Wang Chong was also the manager of the department under the Ministry of Finance of the Three Rural Affairs and Rural Affairs. He had heard of this matter, but he was not aware of it. He also realized the seriousness of the situation when he heard Lin Tianhua say this. He remembered the work "An old horse is in the stable, and his ambition is thousands of miles away" written by Liu Jianguo in the calligraphy exhibition during the National Day holiday, and the words that he implyed that he joined his camp. It was obvious that in recent years, Liu Jianguo did not really retreat to the second line, but was waiting for an opportunity and an opportunity to turn the tables. Moreover, for this matter, he made a long time. Subconsciously, Wang Chong believed that Liu Jianguo was too political and bureaucratic, and liked Lin Tianhua's straightforward work style more. The two were somewhat similar.

"Wang Chong, you are a bystander. How do you view this matter?"

Wang Chong is also a little conflicted now, one is his old leader and the other is his new Bole. This kind of high-level struggle between gods and immortals, he was a little confused in his eyes, so he said, "President Lin, I am a little slight, so I won't speak randomly."

Lin Tianhua said coldly, "It seems that you are still in the dark about some things." Lin Tianhua threw a document to Wang Chong, "You can see it yourself."

Wang Chong took the document and it was a detailed investigation of Zhou Yuntao's overdue loan before National Day. He thought to himself that Lin Tianhua had never given up on the investigation of this matter.

Lin Tianhua said: "I have long felt that Zhou Yuntao's loan has problems. I always feel that there are insiders in the industry who are exploring the situation. After searching, I didn't expect that this matter was actually the work of our President Jianguo. It's really an extreme way."

Wang Chong saw the investigation records of Gai Shujie by the Discipline Inspection Department in the document. Gai Shujie explained that it was President Liu Jianguo instructed him to secretly modify Zhou Yuntao's credit record to normal, which surprised him.

Over the past few months, the incident between Zhou Yuntao and Sheng Hongfei has caused Wang Chong to be directly demoted from the general manager of the general business department of the general manager and become an ordinary branch department manager. He once suspected that someone was secretly messing with him. After thinking about it, he did not expect that it was from Liu Jianguo's instruction. For a moment, Wang Chong felt that Liu Jianguo was a bit disgusting.

But what about Gu Tiande?

Gu Tiande is Lin Tianhua's man. During this time in the East Branch of Chengdong, Gu Tiande suppressed Wang Chong everywhere. The two had been resentful for a long time. Although Wang Chong's ability is better than Gu Tiande, Gu Tiande was loyal to Lin Tianhua. There is no doubt about this. Therefore, no matter how Wang Chong counterattacked, Gu Tiande's seat was always as stable as Mount Tai, which was inseparable from Lin Tianhua's shelter.

Wang Chong asked: "Lin Xing, what should we do?" He used the word "we" specifically when he was speaking, obviously making a choice.

Lin Tianhua said coldly: "Since he lost me once, I naturally have a way to make him lose again. Wang Chong, I want to ask you for a task."

Wang Chonglian said: "Governor Lin is instructed that as long as I can do it, I will not hesitate."

Lin Tianhua wrote three words on the sticky note paper and pushed it to Wang Chong. Wang Chong turned it into the sticky note, with three words on it, one person's name, Luo Zhisen.

Wang Chong immediately understood the purpose of Lin Tianhua calling him over. Luo Zhisen is about to become an independent director of Donghua Bank. If he votes in the future, he will also occupy a vote. Lin Tianhua also knew that Luo Zhisen was Wang Chong's mentor, and his opinions could influence Luo Zhisen's choice on the board of directors. If the board of directors wants to remove the president in the future, the vote in his hand will have a decisive role.

However, Lin Tianhua didn't know that in addition to being an independent director of Donghua Bank, Luo Zhisen was also a special economic adviser of Tianma Group. This identity was very unfavorable to Lin Tianhua.

Wang Chong said, "I can only do my best."

Lin Tianhua said: "It must be done."

Walking out of the office, Wang Chong was hesitating whether to call Luo Zhisen. Before he could make a decision, Wang Chong's cell phone rang. Wang Chong glanced at the number and it turned out to be the phone of his mentor Luo Zhisen.

"Teacher Luo."

Luo Zhisen asked in less standard Mandarin, "Wang Chong, are you in Donghua?"

Wang Chong said: "Where are you at Donghua Bank? Have you come to Donghua City?"

"I came yesterday and lived at Donghua University these two days. Semestera is about to end. I will take an academic leave next semester and be a guest at Donghua University for three months. I will also attend several city forums. By the way, I will become an independent director of your Donghua Bank."

Wang Chong said: "Then I want to congratulate you."

Luo Zhisen said, "When will I have time? I really want to eat the fish restaurant you took me to last time."

"Welcome anytime."

"Then let's go tomorrow. By the way, are you talking about your girlfriend?"

Wang Chong said: "It's being talked about."
