I'm back in 1990

Chapter 851: Leeches

As expected, seeing that Huang Xiaochuan was unaware of this matter, Huang Boyi continued, "The main reason is that this matter concerns the company's interests, so I had to come and meet with you to tell you about it."

"Okay, go ahead, I'm listening." Huang Xiaochuan's attitude became serious.

"If her boyfriend were someone else, I wouldn't have come to see you, but her boyfriend is Liang Hongming, the current CFO of Guangda Real Estate."

Upon hearing Huang Boyi's words, Huang Xiaochuan's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them. The president of a real estate group was having an affair with his subordinate? And the CFO no less? What a joke! No wonder Huang Boyi had come all the way to Shanghai to see him.

And the fact that no one told him about this means what? It means the problem is very serious.

Huang Boyi glanced at Huang Xiaochuan's expression and continued, "The most crucial point is that Liang Hongming is only in his early forties, more than ten years younger than President Nan."

At this moment, Gao Song brought in a bottle of red wine. Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand coldly. Gao Song clearly sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so he put down the red wine and quickly left the private room.

"Old Huang, tell me the details of what's going on inside. You must know something, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me." Huang Xiaochuan's voice was devoid of any emotion.

Huang Boyi leaned forward slightly, his face apologetic: "Mr. Huang, as you know, I've been busy with health and haven't been involved in business much. Besides, my abilities are limited. But I do have some shares in the real estate group, and it's nearby, so I sometimes visit the company. Not long ago, I looked at the financial statements and found several transactions, under the guise of project prepayments and strategic investments, transferred to the accounts of several offshore companies registered overseas. The paperwork is complete, and it seems there are no problems."

"And what's more!" Huang Boyi said, his expression turning playful.

He didn't keep them in suspense any longer and said, "One of my sons saw Liang Hongming chatting happily with several people at a bank party in Hong Kong. He told me about it when he got back, and I immediately felt something was off. So I asked around and found out that those people were secretly doing money laundering."

At this point, Huang Boyi looked at Huang Xiaochuan's expression again. Seeing that he was still expressionless, he continued, "Therefore, I asked some people to investigate Liang Hongming. This person has a very impressive resume, rich experience in financial financing, and extremely strong business capabilities. I guess this is why President Nan hired him to serve as the group's financial director."

But I discovered that this man was very ambitious. I believe his motives for approaching President Nan were impure, considering that President Nan is a full seventeen years older than him. Moreover, he is very adept at understanding women's psychology. President Nan has always been single, so naturally, she would trust someone like him implicitly.

Huang Xiaochuan snorted coldly: "Hmph! She trusts me so much that she can ignore basic risk management and even deceive me, the largest shareholder. When she came to Shanghai for the opening ceremony of the Pudong Financial Center a while ago, she didn't tell me that she had a boyfriend."

With economic development, China Real Estate Group has also ushered in a period of explosive growth. As a giant in the real estate industry, Guangda Real Estate Group has an extremely large cash flow, so it must strictly control its funds. Any loophole can cause incalculable losses.

He has known Nan Hui for many years. (Click to read "1990, I'm Back," a powerful work by Siji Jiucai!) This woman is capable and decisive; otherwise, he wouldn't have placed her in such an important position.

"That Liang Hongming is indeed very capable and his methods are very clever. I think he definitely came prepared. I've investigated, and those offshore companies all seem to have clean backgrounds on the surface, but in reality, they've all been disguised. So it's not easy to see the problem just by looking at the financial statements because the time span is too large. That's why this person could have gradually emptied the group's funds." Huang Boyi roughly guessed Liang Hongming's purpose.

Huang Xiaochuan said calmly, "According to your description, this person is like a leech. At first, you don't feel any pain or itching, but by the time you realize it, it's too late."

Huang Boyi nodded and asked, "So what do you plan to do?"

Huang Xiaochuan pondered for a moment, then made a decision: "Don't alert her for now. Nan Hui is probably still in the dark. It's best to keep it that way. If I find out that she's colluding with Liang Hongming..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Then he continued, "That Liang Hongming is easy to deal with. Let him run wild for a few days. I will send people to secretly collect evidence and find out his funding channels before taking action against him. I will make him spit out everything he has taken."

Huang Boyi quickly agreed: "Mr. Huang, what are you saying? This is what I should do. I am, after all, a shareholder of Everbright Real Estate, and I have my own interests involved."

After dinner, after seeing Huang Boyi off, Huang Xiaochuan made several phone calls in the car, some to domestic numbers and some to international numbers.

More than a week later, detailed investigation reports were placed on Huang Xiaochuan's desk.

Liang Hongming's resume is indeed quite impressive. He has worked at several internationally renowned investment banks and accounting firms, is a certified public accountant, and started playing the capital game in the 1990s. He is best at falsifying accounts to transfer assets and making money out of thin air.

However, this person is also extremely capable, and his professional skills have been widely recognized by industry professionals. Otherwise, Nan Hui would not have offered him an annual salary of eight million plus equity incentives to serve as the financial director of Guangda Real Estate Group.

Under the in-depth investigation of professionals, Liang Hongming's true colors were gradually revealed. He was extremely adept at using complex offshore company structures and financial instruments to conceal the flow of his funds. The abnormal funds that Huang Boyi discovered, after changing hands layer by layer, eventually entered the financial derivatives market related to subprime mortgages, and were even heavily leveraged. This guy was truly insatiable.

Furthermore, an interesting phenomenon was discovered during the investigation: after Liang Hongming established a romantic relationship with Nan Hui, his personal and related accounts experienced a significant and abnormal increase.

Huang Xiaochuan sneered, thinking to himself, "This big leech not only wants to drain the blood of the real estate industry, but also wants to gamble big in the financial securities market. Unfortunately, the subprime crisis is about to erupt, and the value of financial derivatives is gradually declining. This guy will definitely try to fill in the margin to ensure that he won't be liquidated. It seems that this is the time when he needs money."

He took out his encrypted phone and made a call to Zhang Sui, who was in the United States.

The content was simple: Zhang Sui was instructed to pay close attention to the subprime derivatives positions held by several offshore companies.
