The next day, Ye Haoran drove towards the investigated address.
The distance is a bit far, almost outside the border of Magic City.
Next to the rural road, in a factory building, several workers were making signs. Ye Haoran opened the door and walked in.
Several people looked over, and Ye Haoran said loudly: "Master, I want to ask something, is there a factory called Kehua Chemical near here?"
One of the people who looked like a leader stood up and said, "I've never heard of Kehua. Our name is Hehua Chemical. What do you want to do?"
"Oh, that's it. I checked the nearby chemical industry on the Internet and wanted to process some raw materials, so I came over to have a look."
The man waved his hand and said, "Go and look elsewhere. I haven't heard what you said."
"Thank you, master." Ye Haoran pretended to want to leave, but after taking two steps, he came back: "Hey! Master, I think you are also in the chemical industry. Can you help with the processing?"
"We don't take orders. If you want to produce it, go look elsewhere."
Ye Haoran pretended to be confused and asked: "Master, why don't you make money even though you have money?"
The man didn't become suspicious and said directly: "We are just hanging around here. The factory has never been in operation, the machines are all broken, and production cannot be done. You'd better go and ask elsewhere."
"Oh, alright."
Ye Haoran returned to the car, took out the recording device from his pocket and turned it off before driving back.
It takes 4 hours to drive and 4 minutes to do errands.
Now he can confirm that the Lianchuang Group's operating method is to launder money and pour funds.
Using the name of a shell factory to transfer money to upstream raw material suppliers, and then not producing, it is said to be poorly managed, so the customer's money has nowhere to go.
Ye Haoran drove to a few more places, but they were basically the same.
However, these small factories are not large enough. Only one company is larger, and it is an Internet company.
This is also the reason why Ye Haoran put this company last, he wanted to set aside enough time to investigate.
If he reported it now and provided clues to the prosecutor, the problem would be discovered immediately, but this would not achieve the goal.
Standing under an office building, Ye Haoran looked at the dilapidated office building.
Even if Ye Haoran had no money, he would not rent an office in a place like this. It was too shabby. There was no doorman, let alone the need to swipe a card in and out.
You can enter the elevator directly without registering.
Ye Haoran took out his mobile phone and started recording, pressed the found floor, and waited patiently for the elevator to rise.
The elevator door opened slowly, leaving Ye Haoran in a daze.
Not to mention decoration, even repairs are lacking, and some places still smell musty.
Ye Haoran walked inside and heard someone talking.
Followed the sound and walked over.
"Hey, what do you do?"
Ye Haoran turned his head and said with an easy-going smile on his face: "I want to rent an office space. I heard it's cheap here."
"It's cheap. There's no one there anymore. Go check out other floors. We rented this floor."
The man waved his hand impatiently to drive Ye Haoran away.
Ye Haoran shamelessly handed over a box of Huazi and asked, "Brother, what do you do? Can it be used if the place is so broken?"
Seeing that Ye Haoran still had eyesight, the man took Huazi, lit one for himself and said: "Brother, this place is a bit run-down. The best thing is that the price is low. I think you can get into trouble, so I'll take you there." Go in and have a look.”
Ye Haoran followed the man in with a smile.
There were three people inside, sitting around a table, eating and drinking beer.
"This young man wants to rent a venue. I'll introduce it to him. You guys can drink first."
That man accepted a box of Huazi from Ye Haoran. To be precise, he didn't return it to Ye Haoran at all.
As he walked, he said: "We have air conditioning, water and electricity here, but the decoration is too bad. If you can tolerate this, I can save you a lot of money."
While Ye Haoran was dealing with it, he looked around to see if there was anything worthy of attention.
It was registered as an Internet company, but it actually had nothing, not even a computer that could be turned on. It seemed that Lian Chuang was really good at what he did.
If Lianchuang discovers that the situation is not good, he can immediately sever ties with these companies or even sue his own project company.
There are too many names for prosecution, such as shortfalls, corruption, etc.
After walking around and finding nothing, Ye Haoran said hello and left the office building.
Turn off the video on your phone and drive back to the hotel.
In domestic justice, the emphasis is on 'whoever asserts the case must provide evidence'.
Ye Haoran's current reasoning is not wrong, but the chain of evidence cannot form a closed loop, resulting in some shortcomings. The key point lies in the financial statements. Without the financial statements, all the evidence is empty talk.
There must be evidence to prove that these projects have any dealings with Lianchuang.
Apart from within Lianchuang Group, there is only one place where you can get it, and that is Lianchuang Group’s entrusted law firm.
The legal advisor of Lianchuang Group is Chen Wenguang.
Chen Wenguang is the deputy director of Mingtang Law Firm and one of the original partners. It is basically impossible to take it from him.
His own butt is not clean.
Ye Haoran was in a dilemma.
He has only two choices now. The first is to jointly report, summon those who were deceived by Lian Chuang, and then provide clues to the prosecutor.
But in this case, nothing will happen to him. His purpose is to make the first move in the Magic City. Without a reputation, it will be difficult to carry out future work.
The second is to continue investigating until you find out clearly, or get the financial statements.
There are almost no public financial statements of Lianchuang, and the names of several projects cannot be found in them. There must be a shell company controlling it, so it can be hidden at the second level.
This also makes Ye Haoran's work more difficult.
But Ye Haoran likes it very much. As long as the law firm starts business, it will be the day he takes the sword against Lianchuang Group.
The next morning.
Li Na continued to work, taking Mai Fei and Zheng Yueke with her. Fortunately, the driver was a local, otherwise the progress would have been slower.
Ye Haoran was busy sorting out clues and evidence chains.
Suddenly the phone rang, a mobile phone number that Ye Haoran had never seen before.
"Hello, who are you?"
"Hello, this is the legal department of Lianchuang Group. Is this Lawyer Ye?"
Ye Haoran immediately showed a smile and said: "I am."
"We received your lawyer's letter and would like to meet with you to discuss this issue."
"Okay." After Ye Haoran reported the address of his hotel, he hung up the call.
Ye Haoran finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was always a good thing to be able to contact him. Play the cards when you see them. If you don't play your cards, you will never know what cards the other party holds.
Ye Haoran went to the coffee shop in advance and waited for the legal affairs of Lianchuang Group to come to his door.
Legal affairs is a very strange department. They know the law, but they have no litigation ability. Some of them even don't even have a lawyer's license.
Only day-to-day legal-related materials can be processed.
Once litigation is necessary, the company still needs to hire an outside lawyer to litigate.
Half an hour later, Ye Haoran's pot of tea was almost finished, and the other party arrived late.
"Hello, Lawyer Ye, I am Sun Mingyuan, Lianchuang Legal Counsel."
"Please sit down! What would you like to drink?"
Ye Haoran smiled at the other party and said politely.
