"What's the problem?" Lei Weidong asked after taking the document handed over by Jian Huizhen.
"yes……"
Jian Huizhen glanced at Xu Zhiyao and Chen Jingci and said nothing, but Lei Weidong understood what she meant. There were outsiders here, and some things should not be said carelessly.
"It's okay. One of Xu Zhiyao and Chen Jingci is the financial director of Lida Company, and the other has been following this man for several years. They know more about many things than we do. There is no point in hiding it from them."
Lei Weidong waved his hand, indicating to Jian Huizhen not to pay attention to Xu Zhiyao and Chen Jingci. If you have something to say, there is no harm in saying it.
"good!"
Jian Huizhen glanced at Xu Zhiyao and Chen Jingci, nodded, pulled up a chair and sat down, then said, "Based on the inquiry into the transactions of Age Company, we found some suspects.
These people made a lot of profits from stock manipulation through Times Company, and in exchange they provided cover for the smuggling activities of the Lida Trading Group, allowing Lida Company to blatantly smuggle tobacco and export it to domestic sales.
According to statistics, in just three years, Lida Trading Company evaded more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in taxes, which can be said to be a rare smuggling operation in recent years. "
"Tens of billions. It's really a big deal. Who is involved in it? Are there any big tigers?" Lei Weidong lowered his head and casually looked through the documents in his hand.
"There are no big tigers." Jian Huizhen shrugged and shook her head.
"Those involved are all small people, and the one with the highest status is Carina Chung, a commander of the Customs at the port, whose rank is equivalent to a senior superintendent in the police force.
As for the boss behind the scenes, based on the basic account transactions, he should be the eldest prince of South China Tobacco Company. This guy used his father's connections to smuggle cigarettes to make extra money.
This guy has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. Others make money directly in the stock market, but he got a vest and made profits through the vest.
It took us a lot of effort to find out.
I originally thought he was a big, aloof tiger, but after getting so many hidden vests, he turned out to be a little loser, a second-generation rich man. "
"Indeed, in your eyes, these two people are nothing!" Lei Weidong agreed with Jian Huizhen's evaluation.
In terms of status, Jian Huizhen, who is about to be promoted to chief superintendent, is one level higher than the port commander Zhong Jialing, and her power is not on the same level.
Not to mention his net worth.
Not to mention that Lei Weidong gave Jian Huizhen the property and made it easy for her to become a billionaire.
Let’s talk about that cheap father-in-law Long Si
Over the years, Longsi's business in the mainland has been getting bigger and bigger. Especially after arriving at Mao Xiong Heritage, the strength of Longsi Shipyard has grown by leaps and bounds. It has become one of the largest shipyards in the mainland and even Asia. It can not only build A giant ship of 10,000 tons, not even a warship.
The only regret is that Long Si has been overwhelmed by a pear blossom over the past few years. Although he has found many confidantes, including those in their teens and twenties, they have only blossomed but failed to bear fruit, not to mention a son, not even a daughter. Give birth to one.
Jian Huizhen is still the only daughter of Long Si and the sole heir of Long Si Shipbuilding Company. Her status is not comparable to that of a tobacco company.
Different statuses also look at things differently. In the eyes of Xu Zhiyao and Chen Jingci, the eldest prince of South China Tobacco Company is a big tiger. He is so high that it is difficult to defeat him.
But in Jian Huizhen's eyes, both Carina Chung and the eldest prince of South China Tobacco Company are just cowards. It is easy to do it. As long as the evidence is found, there is no need to give face to anyone.
This is also the reason why the movie failed miserably at the box office in its previous life.
"Integrity" will be released during the Spring Festival of 2018.
Because in 2017, the anti-corruption drama "In the Name of XX" became a hit, attracting countless people and anti-corruption became a hot topic.
In order to attract audiences and compete with films such as "The Wandering Earth", the investors of "Integrity" tried their best to promote the film on anti-corruption and take advantage of it.
Said: "On the first day of the new year, let's go and watch the big tiger."
It attracted a lot of people's attention.
As a result, on New Year’s Day, the movie was released!
The audience attracted by the publicity entered the cinema, but the mind-bending plot left everyone confused. More importantly, the big tiger who was taken care of in the last step turned out to be the eldest prince of South China Tobacco Company, a rich second generation.
This is simply selling dog meat on sheep's head.
How could a big prince of South China Tobacco Company become a big tiger?
In the eyes of mainland audiences, not to mention the eldest prince of South China Tobacco Company, even his father, the person in charge of South China Tobacco Company, can only be regarded as a fly. Although he is rich, his status is too low.
In the TV series "In the Name of XX", even Zhao Dehan, who rides an electric car to get off work every day and hides 200 million in his villa, is not as good as the director.
As for his son, he is at most a rich second generation.
For such a person to become a big tiger is simply an insult to the intelligence of the mainland audience, which is acceptable to the Hong Kong audience. In the eyes of the Hong Kong people, money is greater than power, and having money means everything.
A rich man worth billions or even billions is indeed qualified to be a big tiger.
"South China Tobacco Company is the largest tobacco company in Hong Kong, with a market value of tens of billions. It has made enough money, so why does it still engage in smuggling? Could it be a mistake? This prince is a scapegoat.
After hearing Jian Huizhen say that the big boss behind the scenes was the eldest prince of South China Tobacco Company, Chen Jingci couldn't help but ask.
"People's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants. Although South China Tobacco Company is rich, for capitalists, if they can earn 10,000 yuan, they will not earn 8,000 yuan. It is also said that the prince is just a prince. Even the eldest prince must listen to his father, the emperor.
Besides, South China Tobacco Company is a group company. Even the chairman at the helm is only the major shareholder, holding less than 40%. South China Tobacco Company is not his private property. He can use his money but not at will.
As the eldest prince of South China Tobacco Company, even if he is favored by his father, his pocket money will not be too much. Ten million a year is enough. "
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Ten million is not a lot. You can buy a thousand-square-foot mansion in the city center. The mansion I live in now doesn't exceed ten million."
Chen Jingci couldn't help but complain when he heard that the eldest prince of South China Tobacco Company had an annual pocket money of over 10 million, which was more than himself, a commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
"If I had such a high income, I would never break the law, as long as I have enough money."
"If you have less money, you have less money to spend, and if you have more money, you have more money. You think more than 10 million is because you are not in the second-generation rich circle and have no idea about prodigal money." Regarding Chen Jingci's complaints, Lei Weidong explained with a smile .
"Although I have never been in the rich second-generation circle, I still know how chaotic it is. Luxurious cars and beautiful women are just the standard for second-generation agents. But for those with a higher net worth, not only the best car, but also a lot of money will be spent. Price modification.
Ordinary girls don't look down on beautiful women at all, unless they have incredible looks.
They are all after female celebrities. The more famous they are, the more their goals are. In order to catch them, they will give them cars and houses without blinking an eye.
There are also yachts and helicopters. If you play with these, the cost will be high. In addition, the money spent on parties is like running water. Ten million cannot stop it. In the circle, I can only be regarded as a junior.
"The director is right. According to our investigation, the eldest prince of South China Tobacco Company is very famous in the second-generation rich circle. Even though he is just in his early twenties, he not only owns luxury cars and villas, but also a yacht of more than 40 meters and a There are helicopters.
He is very generous with his money, and often spends a lot of money to invite friends to go out on yachts to have fun. The women around him started out as TV stars, and he can change friends faster than he can change clothes.
The cost starts from at least 150 million per year, and sometimes 200 million or even 300 million is not enough.
"That's right." Lei Weidong chuckled, "That bastard wanted to compete with the top rich second generation, but his father was strict and didn't give him much pocket money.
He just wanted to use his family's position in the tobacco business to set up a smuggling company to make extra money for himself. If my estimate is not bad, maybe his father knew that his son was engaged in tobacco smuggling again, but he just didn't interfere. "
"Sir Lei, what you are saying is that South China Tobacco Company is also involved in smuggling, isn't it? South China Tobacco Company is the largest tobacco company in Hong Kong. Doesn't smuggling black cigarettes take away its own business?" Chen Jingci asked in confusion.
"Without the backing of South China Tobacco Company, do you think a rich second generation could support such a large smuggling network? Don't forget that tax evasion exceeds 10 billion in three years. This network is within the control of ordinary people."
Lei Weidong snorted coldly:
“Unlike those who worked hard to transport smuggled cigarettes into Hong Kong from overseas, Lida Trading Group did a trick of converting exports into domestic sales, subcontracting exported cigarettes into the black market, and became the second largest tobacco group in Hong Kong. Made it within a few years.
For such a strong opponent, if South China Tobacco Company does not know that the sun rises from the west, it is not because it is its own son's industry that it turns a blind eye.
Otherwise, it would have been driven out of the market long ago. "
"It seems to make sense!"
Xu Zhiyao and Chen Jingci looked at each other and nodded involuntarily.
One of them is a senior official of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the other is the financial director of a large group. They have separated themselves from the ordinary class and can see further and know the shortcomings of the city of Xiangjiang.
With too many wealthy people, various money-making businesses in Xiangjiang have long been dominated by the tycoons who took the first step, and the class has been solidified. It is difficult for those who come after to get up, and they are suppressed basically as soon as they show up.
If you want to rise to the top, you either have to be outstanding and be favored by a rich man and marry his daughter as your son-in-law, or you can rise through the cracks through the emerging technology industry.
Of course becoming a star is also a way.
It's just that there are only a few who are as good as Xingye and Long Ge. In the eyes of the tycoons, most celebrities are just actors, low-status actors, and the prey of the rich second generation.
The rich mother-in-law of the Lin family's evaluation of Wang Tianxian is the best example.
The Lida Trading Group can make smuggling flourish, but it would be impossible without support from behind.
"Even if we knew that the South China Tobacco Company was behind it, there was nothing we could do." Jian Huizhen shook her head and said, "Let alone the South China Tobacco Company, we couldn't convict those who helped Lida smuggle.
Although we have mastered the channels through which they exchange interests, the money is exchanged through the stock market using legitimate methods, and the most is to arrest the other party for violating securities laws.
To truly bring them to justice, someone needs to come forward and accuse them. "
"Can't you Chen Chaoqun and Xu Zhiyao? They are both internal employees of Lida Company and can come forward to testify." Lei Weidong pointed at Xu Zhiyao and said.
"Theoretically, it's possible, but to bring everyone down, Xu Zhiyao and Chen Chaoqun alone are not enough. It's best to have people from the customs come forward to testify. In that case, we can arrest people and arrest everyone in the same line."
Jian Huizhen suggested.
"Let the people from the customs come out to testify. You mean to ask Carina Chung to testify against Era Investment and lead the clues to the prince of South China Tobacco Company. Is Carina Chung willing to come out as a tainted witness?"
Lei Weidong asked, looking at the desk with his fingers.
"Normally, no, people like Zhong Jialing will not give up until they reach the Yellow River, but we not only found Lida Trading Group and Era Investment, but also found the stock trading codes of the past two years.
Every stock traded by Carina Chung had something to do with Era Investment. She couldn't deny it even if she wanted to. At most, she would be arrested not for harboring smuggling but for violating securities laws.
But the results are the same.
The crime of harboring smuggling and the crime of violating securities laws are similar, and Carina Chung will also have to serve several years in prison.
In this case, why didn't she cooperate with the police, plead guilty, betray her accomplices to reduce her crime, and become a tainted witness for the police.
As for running, it’s unlikely!
Carina Chung is in her forties and has a husband, children and parents. They are all in Xiangjiang. It is easy to run alone, but it is impossible to run with a group of people. "
"In that case, it is your responsibility to convince Carina Chung to come forward as a tainted witness and accuse Age Investment. After taking down Age Investment, you will then target the eldest prince. As for South China Tobacco Company."
Lei Weidong thought for a while, picked up the phone and dialed.

"Coffee or tea?" Looking at Yang Jianhua, Lei Weidong asked
"It's better to have tea. I have to be very alert when I'm with you, otherwise I won't know when I'll be tricked by you." Yang Jianhua snorted coldly.
"It's too late, Sister Yang. We've known each other for several years. When have I tricked you?" Yang Jianhua's words made Lei Weidong a little unhappy.
"You haven't cheated me, but you have cheated others. You cheated that girl Hua Yihan so much. She gave birth to a child out of wedlock and almost made his father angry to death."
"Hua Yihan was an accident, and I also promised her to visit her uncle and aunt in a few days."
Speaking of Hua Yihan, Lei Weidong had a headache. This girl's parents were not simple people. He was a big carrot and kidnapped his daughter. She was also pregnant. Being beaten and scolded at home was a minor matter. The cheap father-in-law probably had that gun. come out.
Although guns are banned in the mainland.
But in Hua Yihan's family, it's normal to have a gun at home.
"Assuming you have a conscience, Xiaohan didn't wait for you for several years in vain." Yang Jianhua's attitude became better when he heard that Lei Weidong was about to come.
"You're such a busy person, why do you have time to see me today?"
"There's something going on. Do you know about South China Tobacco Company?"
"I know, the largest tobacco company in Hong Kong, why are you asking this? Are you going to..."
