Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Great investment.

"Bang!"

Looking at the newspaper on the table, Zhong Zhengwen slapped the desk hard: "Damn Qin Lan! Damn Lin Baicheng! How dare you fool me!"

On Zhong Zhengwen's desk, there are several newspapers, including those from the four major newspapers in Hong Kong. The front page of each newspaper is a report on the financial fraud of Jia Ning Group. It can be seen that the impact of this incident is How big.

After reading the news in the newspaper, Zhong Zhengwen still doesn't understand. He was fooled by Lin Baicheng. The other party's promise to give him a billion Hong Kong dollar loan was just to hold him back.

As an insider and participant, Zhong Zhengwen knew very well that the newspaper reports were true, so the evidence in his hand would not be of much use.

This is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is that the evidence of financial fraud of Jia Ning Group was suddenly exposed. He was not prepared. As a participant, he will definitely be implicated, so he will not have many choices.

"Damn Chen Songqing, it's okay. Why did you offend that guy Lin Baicheng!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Zhengwen complained about Chen Songqing. If Chen Songqing had not offended Lin Baicheng, then Lin Baicheng would not have asked Hutchison Whampoa to sell the shares of Jiani Group, let alone investigate Jiani Group. In this way, Jiani Group's financial fraud would not have been exposed so quickly. .

"Dingling bell~~~"

The phone on the table rang, and Zhong Zhengwen was afraid to answer it now. He was worried that it was a call from the bank or creditor.

In Zhong Zhengwen's business, the lending banks and creditors know very well what the company does, and they know that the company has deep cooperation with Jiani Group. Yida Investment even holds hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in Jiani Group shares. Once something happens to Jiani Group , the company will inevitably be implicated and suffer heavy losses.

As long as the lending banks and creditors are smart enough, they will worry that Zhong Zhengwen cannot repay the money and call for debts in advance.

"call!"

The phone rang for a while, and after Zhong Zhengwen exhaled, he picked up the phone. Because he knows that if the call comes from the bank or creditor, it will be useless if he doesn't answer it now, and even worse situation will occur, because that will force the other party to come to collect the debt.

"Third brother, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

What made Zhong Zhengwen relieved was that the call was from his eldest brother Zhong Zhengsheng, the current head of the Zhong family.

"It's brother, I have something going on here."

Zhong Zhengwen then replied, and then said: "Brother, what do you want from me?"

Zhong Zhengsheng did not go into details, but said in a deep voice: "Third brother, something happened to Jianing Group, do you know about this?"

"I just read the newspaper." Zhong Zhengwen said.

Zhong Zhengsheng listened and asked: "Is the financial fraud of Jianing Group true or false? Are the reports in the newspapers true?"

"it is true!"

After Zhong Zhengwen was silent for a moment, he still gave a true answer. There was no way to hide this matter. His elder brother would know the truth sooner or later. There was no point in lying now, not to mention that he wasn't going to lie to his eldest brother about it.

"Then how deeply involved are you with the Jianing Group?" Zhong Zhengsheng's voice was trembling.

There was another moment of silence, and then Zhong Zhengwen said: "I am the major shareholder of Jianing Group."

"So, you have known about the financial fraud of Jia Ning Group before? And you were also a participant?"

Zhong Zhengsheng was not stupid. Hearing this, he didn't know that his third brother was not implicated, but was a deep participant.

"Um!"

Zhong Zhengwen couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what do you think I should do now?"

"You come back to the old house, I will contact the second sister and the fourth brother, and ask them to come to the old house together, and we will discuss it together."

Zhong Zhengsheng thought for a while and said, after all, they are brothers, and there is no hatred of conflicts of interest. At this time, he must find a way to help his brother.

"Okay, I'll go back right now."

Zhong Zhengwen said, putting down the phone, asking the company manager to explain, and then hurriedly left the company.

When Zhong Zhengwen arrived at the company in the morning, it was early eight o'clock. Because he had made an appointment with Qin Lan and the others yesterday to continue inventorying the assets required for the loan at nine o'clock in the morning, so he came to the company early to work. Who would have thought that when he arrived at the company and read the newspaper, this Only then did he realize that something big had happened and that he had been fooled by the other party. Lin Baicheng already had evidence of Jianing Group's financial fraud and did not need the evidence he had of Chen Songqing's early illegal operations.

It was only half past eight when Zhong Zhengwen left the company. When he returned to his old home, it was not yet nine o'clock.

Several brothers and sisters of the Zhong family have divided their property among themselves, and the old house has been given to the eldest family. Now the eldest brother Zhong Zhengsheng and his family live here.

Not long after Zhong Zhengwen arrived, the second oldest Zhong Yi and the fourth oldest Zhong Zhengwu arrived one after another.

There was no politeness between the brothers and sisters, and they talked about business directly.

Zhong Zhengsheng said: "Third brother, please tell us the truth now, how deep is your involvement with Jianing Group? Are you involved in the financial fraud? How many assets are you associated with Jianing Group?"

"I supported Chen Songqing when he started his own business in his early years, and he later brought me generous returns. When the Jianing Group was established, I also supported it, and became the major shareholder of the Jianing Group."

"The reason why Jianing Group has been able to develop rapidly in a short period of time is that financial fraud is the biggest help. I knew about it from the beginning, but I kept it in mind. I did not personally participate, but asked me to The manager of the company under my name is responsible for the follow-up, so I am not a direct participant."

"As for assets, the company under my name is too deeply involved with the Jia Ning Group."

"I won't go into details. You just need to know that I currently hold 10% of the shares of Jiani Group, and my Yida Investment has taken on a loan of HK$900 million due to its cooperation with Jiani Group."

Zhong Zhengwen told him the general situation. Now, he has nothing to hide from his close relatives.

"Third brother, you are too brave."

Zhong Zhengsheng couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this, but now is not the time to blame the other party. He said: "Isn't the company under your name already insolvent?"

"That's not enough."

Zhong Zhengwen shook his head: "The loans taken by my company are also used for investment. The cooperation with Jianing Group is also an investment in real estate. After investment, it is also an asset. However, although it is not insolvent, it is not far away. The debt ratio is now nearly 90%.”

The fourth child Zhong Zhengwu couldn't help but said: "With such a high debt ratio and so many loans, don't you think there is a problem?"

"I didn't think much about it at first. Later, as we cooperated more and more with Jianing Group, I realized that the company had too many loans. But at that time, I couldn't stop myself and could only talk to Chen Songqing. If we continue to cooperate, we hope that land prices and the property market will continue to rise.”

Zhong Zhengwen smiled helplessly. He was not stupid. It wasn't that he couldn't see the problem, but when he saw the problem, he found that he couldn't stop. Once it stops, it will face more problems, causing the company to collapse faster.

Zhong Yi pointed to the core: "In the final analysis, you are still too greedy."

Zhong Zhengwen was speechless. The reason why he got to this point was indeed because of greed.

"Let's not talk about the past."

Zhong Zhengsheng said aloud: "Let's help Lao San think about how to survive this crisis."

Zhong Yi asked: "Lao San, how serious is the financial fraud of Jia Ning Group? Is it just affecting the company's stock price, or is the company going bankrupt if it fails?"

Hearing this, Zhong Zhengwen said: "If nothing unexpected happens, the possibility of Jianing Group going bankrupt this time will be relatively high."

Without waiting to be asked, Zhong Zhengwen took the initiative to explain: "First of all, the financial fraud of Jianing Group is very serious. The company's net assets may only be one or two billion Hong Kong dollars, or even not that much. The key is that this time Jianing Group's financial fraud After being exposed, if nothing else happens, the person behind it is Lin Baicheng, and he will never let go of this opportunity to keep the Jianing Group alive."

"really."

Zhong Zhengsheng was not surprised: "When I saw the financial fraud report of Jianing Group, the first thing I thought of was Lin Baicheng, the richest man in Hong Kong. Lin Baicheng had a conflict with Chen Songqing a while ago and wanted to suppress Chen Songqing and Jianing Group. Then something happened to the Jiani Group, and it would be too coincidental to say it had nothing to do with Lin Baicheng."

"Brother is right, Lin Baicheng did this."

Zhong Zhengwen said: "Actually, the day before yesterday, I discovered that Lin Baicheng's people were investigating Chen Songqing. At that time, I wanted to use Chen Songqing's evidence of violations in exchange for loan support from Lin Baicheng. Unexpectedly, Lin Baicheng agreed to me openly and sent people to me. They were negotiating a loan, but they secretly found evidence from other places and then exposed the evidence, which caught me off guard."

"What's going on? Please tell me in detail." Zhong Zhengsheng said quickly.

Zhong Zhengwen immediately explained the details.

"You are confused!"

After hearing this, Zhong Zhengsheng pointed to Zhong Zhengwen: "At that time, you actually want to borrow as much as one billion Hong Kong dollars from Lin Baicheng. If you offer a lower price, they might still agree. Also, since you know Lin Baicheng The investigation is under way, then you should take the opportunity to leave, hand over the evidence to Lin Baicheng, sell a favor, and sell the shares of Jianning Group in your hand, so that you can still have a lot of money left."

"It's okay now. You were tricked by someone, and you didn't leave any favors behind. You might have offended someone."

"Also, the share price of Jianning Group will inevitably plummet today. If Chen Songqing is unable to stabilize the situation later, Needless to say, the share price of Jianning Group will be worthless."

"Third brother, you are too greedy."

Zhong Zhengwen was still too greedy and made the worst choice, leading him to this point.

"Getting a loan from Lin Baicheng is my last chance. If I don't give it a try, I won't be willing to do anything."

Zhong Zhengwen also admitted that he was greedy, but if he was given another chance, he might still make the same choice.

As long as he gets a loan from Lin Baicheng, not only will all his company's problems be solved, but it will also be able to move to the next level. And if he didn't take a gamble, his company might go bankrupt and he might lose 90% or more of his wealth. He wanted to take a gamble more than becoming poor.

Zhong Yi said: "Now is not the time to blame Lao San. Let's think about how to help him get through this difficulty."

Zhong Zhengwu said: "Third brother must cut ties with Chen Songqing and Jianing Group."

"It's too late to sever ties now."

Zhong Zhengsheng shook his head and said to Zhong Zhengwen: "Lao San, you have some illegal evidence of Chen Songqing, right?"

Zhong Zhengwen nodded: "Well, there are some."

"Okay, give it to me."

Zhong Zhengsheng said: "I'm looking for someone to help pull the strings and try to find a way to meet Lin Baicheng. Give him these evidences and ask him not to hold on to you. After all, the person who offended him is Chen Songqing. Someone can help to be a middleman. He It’s still possible to agree.”

"As for you, Third Brother, take everything you can and leave Xiangjiang immediately to avoid the limelight. If the worst happens, it will be nothing more than not coming back to Xiangjiang in the future."

"As long as we deal with Lin Baicheng's side, even if he is wanted by the Hong Kong government, it won't be a big problem."

Sometimes the Hong Kong government's wanted orders are not necessarily useful. For example, Ma Xiru, the founder of Oriental Newspaper, was wanted for selling white powder. He went to Bay Island and is still living a comfortable life.

But for offending the richest man in Hong Kong like Lin Baicheng, as long as Lin Baicheng is willing to pay a certain price, he may be extradited back even if he escapes to other countries, so Lin Baicheng needs to be settled first.

"Do you want me to leave Xiangjiang?"

Zhong Zhengwen was a little hesitant. In Xiangjiang, he was a billionaire and a capital tycoon, but if he left Xiangjiang, even if he was not a loser, his wealth would be greatly reduced and his social status would be greatly reduced, not to mention living in a strange area.

"Third brother, listen to big brother."

Seeing this, Zhong Yi said: "You leave Xiangjiang first and wait and see. If nothing happens, come back. You don't want to be imprisoned in Stanley in the end, right?"

"I listen to big brother."

Zhong Zhengwen was shocked and immediately agreed. It would be absolutely unacceptable for a rich man like him to go to jail.

Seeing this, Zhong Zhengsheng said with relief: "Lao San, don't worry, we will try our best to pour dirty water on Chen Songqing and let Chen Songqing bear all the responsibilities."

"Eldest brother, second sister, fourth child, I leave my affairs to you."

Zhong Zhengwen knew that this was the only way to go and hoped that everything would go well and that Chen Songqing would be responsible for everything.

"Why are you being polite to us? We are relatives."

"Yes, third brother."

"Lao San, even if you leave Xiangjiang, we will still find time to visit you."

After the Zhong brothers discussed it, Zhong Zhengwen didn't waste any time and left the old house immediately, ready to go back and pack up before leaving.

But just when Zhong Zhengwen left his old house, Lin Baicheng took people to the Hong Kong Government and met with the Governor of Hong Kong, Maliho. Because of Lin Baicheng's identity and his friendship with Maliho, although he decided to come to the Hong Kong government on a temporary basis, he still met Maliho for the first time.
