"Z Fund was affected by the good news of ZF Care Fund's investment."
“The subscription started on the first day and attracted enthusiastic responses from a large number of investors.”
….
Lu Zhilian watched the news on TV gloomily in his office. Fund Z started a new round of subscriptions, this time with a wider scope.
Lu Zhilian was looking for information about Z Fund, and they were going to find Luo Deyong.
Not much time left to market...
At the same time, with such strong support from the government, it is impossible for Xu Huaijing to be the only one. Xu Huaijing cannot be so exaggerated. Who did Hu Zhiyong bribe?
Lu Zhilian was still reading the information. When Hada, Ma Yaozu and Xiliang were ready, they would go out to find Luo Deyong.
There was a knock on the door of Lu Zhilian’s office...
Lu Zhilian looked up, thinking it was Hada and the others who were ready, but when he saw it was Yu Hongsheng above him, Lu Zhilian felt a little bad in his heart.
Yu Hongsheng saw that Lu Zhilian was still working. He knew that Lu Zhilian didn't even sleep well because of this matter.
"The commissioner held an impromptu meeting and talked (talked) while walking..."
"Yes, sir."
Yu Hongsheng wanted Lu Zhilian to know how troublesome his affair was, so he whispered to Lu Zhilian while walking,
"Mrs. Fan (Fan Luo Peifang) is looking for you. I heard that someone from the policy team attaches great importance to your reported case..."
"Policy team?"
"Um."
Lu Zhilian's eyes were filled with gloom. The policy team specialized in providing advice to the Administrative Affairs Department and the Financial Department of the Third Department, which also played a supporting role...
They are more like the spokespersons of the two highest powers.
Financial Secretary...the person called over there? I want to stop my actions.
Yu Hongsheng looked at Lu Zhilian's expression. Lu Zhilian just thought without speaking. Yu Hongsheng put his hand on Lu Zhilian's shoulder. He leaned his head over and whispered in Lu Zhilian's ear,
"If there is a problem with Z Fund..."
"The government of Xiangjiang just invested 15 billion in care funds, and the next second the Z fund was investigated and people were arrested. This makes the government of Xiangjiang very shameless."
"Affects reputation, affects prestige..."
"In this way, no one will believe anything about the government in the future. It will be a huge blow to the government and will be very detrimental to social security and social management."
"so…"
"They want to put things on hold and let things wait, or they want to do things secretly."
Lu Zhilian understood these things, but he didn't want to understand them. He was just performing his duties. He felt that he was not wrong. He turned to Yu Hongsheng and said,
"Prestige, reputation..."
"Is it worth millions of dollars?"
"If it doesn't explode now, it will explode in the future, and the money is the hard-earned money of the citizens. If this money is gone, Xiangjiang will be sucked dry~"
"Sir Yu, do you understand?"
Yu Hongsheng looked around and saw no one. He still wanted to dissuade Lu Zhilian. He said to Lu Zhilian,
"I don't know how the superiors came to an agreement with Z Fund, and what conditions were given to promote Z Fund on this platform. I don't know how everything works."
"But, I found someone and found out something."
When Yu Hongsheng said this, he stopped. It was extremely serious for him to inquire about information from the top. He said to Lu Zhilian,
"The money has not yet been received by Z Fund. It is in a custody account and has to wait for 6 months."
"I'll give you 6 months to check."
Yu Hongsheng saw Lu Zhilian's face gradually getting better. Seeing that there was some communication, he said to Lu Zhilian,
"Stop for a moment now..."
"I'm not telling you to stop, but I'm telling you not to be so public and not to let the news out. If in the end there is no problem with the Z Fund, you will have to bear a lot of responsibility."
"How about some? Is that okay?"
"I... believe that half a year is enough for you to investigate, but... William (Lu Zhilian's English name), you must be careful in what you do and don't be too arrogant."
"Once things get out there, there's no turning around."
Lu Zhilian nodded at this time. He had been listening to Yu Hongsheng's words expressionlessly just now. He felt that he would investigate the Z Fund no matter what.
At this time, it concerns the entire economy of Hong Kong and the citizens of Hong Kong...
In his heart, citizens are more important than reputation and prestige.
Yu Hongsheng and Lu Zhilian walked into the conference room. Yu Hongsheng and Lu Zhilian both called Fan Luo Peifang,
"Mrs. Fan."
"Mrs. Fan."
Fan Luo Peifang looked at Yu Hongsheng. Her eyes asked Yu Hongsheng how Lu Zhilian was doing. Yu Hongsheng and Fan Luo Peifang nodded slightly.
Fan Luo Peifang knew that things were going to be bad when Yu Hongsheng submitted it, and it involved a lot of things.
Zhang Yaoting from the policy team was still on the phone. He watched Yu Hongsheng and Lu Zhilian come in. He took a look and was still on the phone.
"Understood, okay, bye."
Zhang Yaoting hung up the phone and sat across from Yu Hongsheng and Lu Zhilian with a smile. He said to them,
"Sorry, the Director of the Security Bureau just spoke to me on the phone..."
Fan Luo Peifang smiled and said to Zhang Yaoting,
"It doesn't matter..."
Zhang Yaoting put away the phone, looked at Lu Zhilian and said,
"Let's get down to business..."
"Sir Lu, the higher-ups take the incident you reported very seriously."
"You want to check the Z fund, right?"
Lu Zhilian nodded in agreement. He would never give up on the citizens of Hong Kong because of pressure.
There is a lot of money in the Z Fund. If the Z Fund continues, I don’t know how many people will step into it. Lu Zhilian clearly knows that the Z Fund is a Madoff scam.
"yes."
"We have checked the operations of Z Fund in the United States and its transparency is quite low."
"We know that he used some higher-than-reasonable interest rates to attract new investment. He then used it to pay interest to some old customers."
Lu Zhilian didn't know about the operation of Z Fund. The transparency was quite low and it was far abroad.
He just said it, wanting Fan Luo Peifang and Zhang Yaoting to know that he, Lu Zhilian, was suspecting something. He thought Zhang Yaoting and Fan Luo Peifang should understand what he was talking about.
Lu Zhilian almost shouted loudly to Fan Luo Peifang and Zhang Yaoting that Z Fund was a Madoff fraud.
Lu Zhilian saw a troubled expression on Zhang Yaoting's face. Zhang Yaoting must have been suppressed by Lu Minghua and had to stop himself, but Lu Zhilian would not back down.
Lu Zhilian nodded slightly and said to Zhang Yaoting,
“Relying on investment profits may be fraudulent.”
"If this is the case, Fund Z may collapse at any time."
Fan Luo Peifang crossed her arms and crossed her chest, showing a very interested look.
If Lu Zhilian had real evidence, she felt that Lu Zhilian had to investigate further. There were too many things involved in the Z Fund.
Zhang Yaoting pursed his lips. He saw that all the information was in front of him. If he turned a blind eye, he would be responsible for what happened.
He tried his best to stop it, and he might be beaten by others: helping the Z Fund to stand up. He has nothing to do with the Z Fund. He is just following the instructions from his superiors.
Zhang Yaoting decided to put some pressure on Lu Zhilian. He said to Lu Zhilian,
"If you check Z Fund, do you know what it represents?"
Lu Zhilian knew very well what Zhang Yaoting was implying. When he came, Yu Hongsheng had already told him that he knew what Z Fund represented.
Lu Zhilian didn't hesitate at all. He didn't give Zhang Yaoting any face. He said to Zhang Yaoting,
"It represents corruption and fraud and endangers public interests." (End of Chapter)
