Chapter 178 Mastermind of the Agricultural Products Smuggling Case: He Shichang
In a blink of an eye, it was more than three months later.

On October 1980, 10, under the operation of Fang Zhanbo, Xilai and other groups carried out capital increase and stock raising, with a fundraising amount of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars and an additional 10% of the share capital.

To be honest, this value is actually a bit high. Xilai and other groups are not so valuable at all, but Fang Zhanbo's skills are relatively superb. They are all interested in the high-quality clean assets of Xilai and other groups, and they have bought stocks with large sums of money.

With the completion of the additional issuance, the valuation and market value of Xilai and other groups have exceeded 20 billion. As a financial speculator, Fang Zhanbo has already made a lot of money, not to mention that the listing is imminent, and there may be a crop of leeks by then.

Wang Fengyi was firmly opposed to this, because the additional issuance would inevitably further dilute her equity. However, this matter was initiated by Fang Zhanbo, and He Shichang strongly supported it. Even Deng Bo and other leaders of Liansheng also expressed their support. The chairman, even if he objected, was useless.

Besides, she dared not object.

As for the capital increase, in the name of the group, they bought a large piece of land in the Yuen Long area, part of which was contracted farmland, and bought several slaughterhouses, meat processing factories, and juice processing factories in one fell swoop. And invested in the introduction of advanced European equipment.

Just over a month later, the factory has officially started operation, and the sausages, juices and other products produced have successfully opened up the markets in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan by virtue of their high quality and low price, as well as the brand names of Xilai and other groups. It is even exported to Southeast Asia, with a daily shipment of nearly tons.

Of course, because of the high quality and low price, the company's profit is not huge. If the depreciation of equipment and financing costs are included, the group will be in a tie, making most of the peers hate them so much that they can't understand Xilai and others. This is crazy.

How did they know that among the raw materials used by He Shichang, only a small part was purchased locally and entered the customs legally, and most of them were provided by Han Bin.

Pork only sells him 6000 yuan per ton of Han Bin, and oranges only sell him 4000 yuan per ton. By making false accounts, He Shichangguang made a lot of money from this income, and he made it in less than three or two months. Hundreds of millions, but it was Han Bin and Hao Ren themselves, because they were really cheap, so they didn't make any money. After removing the freight and labor expenses, the net profit was hard money.

In this way, in less than half a year, He Shichang gradually became rich and powerful, and became the most outstanding rookie of Heliansheng.

But on the other hand, they finally succeeded in diverting the opponent's attention.

At this time, in the General Administration of Customs, a group of ghosts were having a meeting in front of the projector. Among these ghosts, even the lowest level had at least three stars on their shoulders, and the photo on the projector was He Shichang.

"This man's name is He Shichang. According to information, he is a hall master of Heliansheng, and also the general manager of Xilai and other groups. Just half a year ago, with the arrest of Chaozhou Porridge, the former chairman of Xilai and other groups, this time People became the actual controllers of Xilai and other groups. On the surface, the chairman of the group is still Wang Fengyi, the daughter of Chaozhou porridge, but in fact, almost all positions in the company from the top to the middle are monopolized by gangsters. "

"It was also around the time of the Chaozhou porridge incident that our anti-smuggling task force was formally established. The Tuen Mun smuggling group we had assumed before became cautious. We set up a net, and in the end we only caught three or two kittens. , We once wondered whether the news of the establishment of the task force had been leaked, and our cunning opponent chose to avoid the limelight, but at present, it seems that this is not the case."

"Not long after He Shichang became the general manager of Xilai and other groups, Xilai and other groups successfully entered the food processing industry through acquisitions and other means. At the same time, the group of sea mice became active again. What's more coincident is that , according to our intelligence, this batch of agricultural products did not appear on the market on a large scale."

"The Commercial Investigation Section has focused on the investigation of Xilai and other groups. It is certain that, whether it is meat or fruit, their huge purchases have false accounts. The actual amount of raw materials purchased is far from supporting their daily records in tons. product."

"At present, it seems that the smuggling income has not flowed into the group's account, and it should be He Shichang's personal behavior. However, considering the close relationship between He Shichang himself and Heliansheng, I propose to list He Shichang as the number one key suspect. , At the same time, focus on Helian Lease and explore whether this is the behavior of the society."

This report is indeed well-founded and convincing, and many ghosts nodded in agreement.

Of course, it was not that no one raised doubts, and one of the ghosts asked: "So, is it possible that He Shichang is not the mastermind of the smuggling case, but just a relatively thick shipping channel?"

"Basically, this suspicion can be ruled out. According to the information provided by the anti-mafia group, He Shichang's power has expanded rapidly in the past six months, and he also has a lot of high consumption, which fully demonstrates his deep pockets. We think that he has at least occupied the top spot in the smuggling business." Most of the profit, if he is not the mastermind, unless the mastermind makes no money or only makes some hard money, which is obviously impossible."

"In this way, the case is very clear. Although the evidence is still insufficient, it is enough for us to take compulsory measures against him. What's more, there are colleagues from the Military Intelligence Bureau here. Colonel Wallace, what's your opinion? "

Colonel Wallace from the Military Intelligence Bureau may not be the highest-ranking ghost among the participants, but due to the particularity of this case, he is the one with the most power to speak. After pondering for a while, he said: "I agree. Mr. He Shichang is listed as a key suspect for investigation, but I do not agree to directly take compulsory measures, which is too easy to scare the snake, I suggest that we take a long line and catch big fish."

Everyone nodded upon hearing the words. Most of the participants were middle- and high-level British officials. They don't think like ordinary police officers, and they still have basic political literacy.

No matter how you look at it, He Shichang should be a figure similar to a pawn. At present, it is not known whether the mainland's national security department has been involved in this case, and what role it is playing. Arresting people rashly, of course, can destroy this smuggling Molecules, but they can treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Furthermore, there is only one He Shichang who has surfaced at present, and his identity is still a gangster on Hong Kong Island. Whether such a person is arrested or not is of no help politically. On the contrary, if he can really follow the vine and catch other The mainland big fish behind it may become a political bargaining chip in the future Sino-British negotiations, so the credit will be great.

Therefore, the meeting quickly set the basic tone, that is, to focus on and continue to let go.
