Through Thick and Thin

On Monday, in the office of the stock research department of Zhongming Fund, everyone was discussing this matter.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the three independent directors of Boda Materials suddenly issued a joint statement, expressing doubts about the authenticity of the 140 billion yuan deposited in Fenghui Bank in the company's statement, and warning investors of major investment risks.

The three independent directors stated that they have authorized the firm to send inquiries to the bank, but have not yet received a reply.After the announcement, one of the independent directors went on to announce his resignation from the company.

This statement and resignation caused a thousand waves with one stone. Before the market opened in the morning, all major financial and securities websites reprinted and published this statement, which attracted the attention of a large number of stock commentators.

Only then did the market faintly notice that things seemed to be far from being as simple as the previous bond default.

Lu Chuiqing is always ready to keep an eye on the stock price of Boda. He is right. Boda has accumulated too many superimposed debts. The cash flow from upstream to downstream is linked together. If there is a problem in any link, it will be triggered by a hair. whole body.

This time, the 20 billion yuan financing bond was probably because Xia Yuanbo had already sensed the company's cash flow crisis in advance, so he could only increase revenue if he could not reduce expenditure.

Originally thinking that this illusion of prosperity could continue to be maintained, Xia Yuanbo probably did not expect that the old downstream customers suddenly failed to pay on time, and this credit account directly became the trigger for the collapse of the entire capital chain of Boda Materials.

The independent directors of the company have begun to doubt the authenticity of the statement. Although there is no evidence to prove that the company’s deposits in the bank are fake, the keen capital market is still very honest. After the market opened, Boda’s stock price began to fluctuate and decline. .

At around [-]:[-], Boda's stock price limit fell.

Lu Chuiqing breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of water in a good mood, and accidentally looked around at other colleagues in the office who were talking about this matter. Seeing some people with worried faces and some people sighing repeatedly, he realized that he had several A colleague seems to have recommended Boda's stock, but he still can't be too happy.

Lu Chuiqing quickly suppressed her smile, and tapped the keyboard seriously, but her heart was already full of joy.

After finally making it to lunch time, Lu Chuiqing hurried to the company cafeteria, took the meal and sat down, then called Xiao Zhan.

After the call was connected, Lu Chuiqing immediately asked: "Xiao Zhan, I saw the statement of the independent director of Boda, how do you know they will post it today?"

Lu Chuiqing paused, and then said in surprise: "No way? Could it be you..."

"It's not me." Xiao Zhan replied, "It's just that I happened to know the CEO of the company Mr. Zhou was planning to quit. He told me about it."

Lu Chuiqing breathed a sigh of relief, once again lamented in his heart the colleagues in the capital circle with a close network of contacts and interests, and couldn't help but excitedly said: "Then we just need to wait and see how many times their stock prices will hit the limit. .”

Hearing Lu Chuiqing's cautious and dark-hearted voice, Xiao Zhan responded with a low chuckle.

At this moment, in the high-level office of Boda Materials headquarters, it is a completely different scene.

There are people coming and going in the office, the employees are in a hurry, the voices of talking on the phone come and go, and the noise is chaotic.Xia Hao walked out of the elevator in a hurry, everyone didn't even bother to say hello to him, they were busy with their own work.

Xia Yuanbo was not in the company at this time. His office assistant walked quickly with a pile of documents. Seeing this, Xia Hao hurried forward to hold him back, and said anxiously, "Where's my dad?!"

The assistant was too busy to say hello, so he replied directly: "Mr. Xia has gone to Shuozheng's office."

Xia Hao gave a "tsk", stood there for a few seconds, then turned around and went back to his general manager's office.He closed the door, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Mr. Liu, a member of the board of directors.

After waiting for about half a minute, the call was finally connected. Mr. Liu was probably also busy with the sudden statement of inquiry and resignation of the independent director, and his voice sounded very hasty: "Hello, Young Master Xia?"

"Mr. Liu, what happened to that statement?!" Xia Hao said anxiously, "And why did Mr. Zhou resign suddenly?! My dad's phone has been disconnected, why is he going to the office?!"

"Young Master Xia, the rest of our board of directors really didn't know about that statement and Mr. Zhou's resignation in advance, and neither did Mr. Xia." Mr. Liu was sweating profusely, "Mr. The flow has been sorted out, but the more than 100 billion in cash Mr. Xia is not there, we can't check! And the shares pledged by Mr. Xia last year...know much more than we do! Many of them have been frozen!"

When Xia Hao heard this, his whole body turned cold, and he turned pale with shock: "My dad pledged a lot of shares?! Why did he borrow money?! Why didn't he tell us?!"

"We really don't know!" Mr. Liu said, "Mr. Xia didn't tell us anything! Several upstream companies began to urge us to provide new guarantees, and the exchange also sent inquiries 10 minutes ago. Let the company issue a cash certificate and ask us if there is any financial fraud!"

"Let's drag the exchange first! How much does the company owe now?!"

"According to the pledged equity, it is probably..." Mr. Liu swallowed, "More than 30 billion yuan, plus the previously postponed bonds, the total is more than 50 billion yuan."

Xia Hao was in a trance for a while, his hands trembled slightly, and he forced himself to calm down again, and shouted: "Then what should we do now?! Did the bank reply?! Isn't there more than 100 billion in the company's account? Urge the bank to reply Ah! Now there are rumors in the market... what about the company's stock price?! By the way, didn't you approve the investment of several state-owned units not long ago? Hurry up and ask someone to issue a strategic investment statement, saying that they will help us undertake part of the debt! "

Mr. Liu panicked and said, "Young Master Xia, if this is the case, there is a problem with the company's capital chain!"

Xia Hao slammed the table anxiously, and suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Liu! What happened to the shares in Xiao Zhan's hands? Today's stock price has dropped so much, does he have no reaction!"

Mr. Liu was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Don't you know? Mr. Xiao's stocks... were all sold before the company's bonds defaulted."

Xia Hao's eyes widened, his face immediately changed, and he lost his voice: "What? It's already sold? It was sold more than ten days ago?! Why didn't anyone tell me!"

Mr. Liu was also very surprised. Mr. Xia was the first person to know the news at that time. Mr. Xia even notified the other members of the board of directors. He couldn't figure out why Mr. Xia didn't tell Xia Hao: "This... we I thought Mr. Xia had told you a long time ago, I thought you should know..."

Xia Hao couldn't speak, his mind was in a mess, his chest heaved violently for a while, and he shouted uncontrollably: "This matter must have something to do with Xiao Zhan! He has long wanted to short our company! Did he Buying off the independent directors of our company?! Those three independent directors may have issued the statement under his instigation! And the resignation of Mr. Zhou...Maybe he was poached by Xiao Zhan! It all makes sense Otherwise, how could he have sold the stock at the highest price just before the company's bond defaulted?! Go and check him! Go and sue him!"

Mr. Liu quickly comforted him: "Young Master Xia, don't worry, the board of directors has considered this possibility a long time ago, and someone has been arranged to follow up after that, but no evidence has been found to prove that Mr. Xiao or Value Scan is behind the scenes. ...We have contacted Mr. Zhou, and he has already negotiated with another real estate company for the position of CEO, which is not Mr. Xiao's company."

Xia Hao: "Impossible! This is impossible! You can't even imagine how many tricks Xiao Zhan has!"

Mr. Liu hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Young Master Xia, there is one more thing we have to tell you. The board of supervisors has asked us to conduct a self-examination, and the people on the financial side warned us that the company may have been secretly occupied by major shareholders. The situation... Xia Shao, be mentally prepared."

Xia Hao's eyes went dark, and his brain and ears buzzed.He was stunned by the news, and was at a loss for a while, staring at the ground blankly, his mind went blank.

Do major shareholders occupy listed company funds?

His father embezzled public funds?

Could it be...the company really cheated financially?

How is it possible... How is it possible? !This is impossible!The company's money is in the account of Fenghui Bank, and the balance of the last query is still more than 140 billion in cash!Where would Dad have the opportunity to occupy funds!

The top priority is to take out the more than 100 billion yuan, first solve the company's urgent needs, and take back all the equity pledged by Dad. When the company survives this crisis, he will definitely investigate carefully. What happened!

Xia Hao's cell phone rang again, he glanced blankly at the screen, it was his mother calling.He mechanically connected the phone and stuck it to his ear, and his mother's voice mixed with anxiety and sobbing came from his ears.

Xia Hao didn't hear what his mother said in detail, she was probably asking where his father is now and what happened to the company.

Xia Hao hastily hung up the phone and sat on the chair in a daze.He never thought that the company would experience such a major crisis, let alone that his father would do such a desperate thing.

He has always been used to sitting back and enjoying what he gets, and at this time, he is completely at a loss.

Xia Hao kept calling Xia Yuanbo, but no one answered without exception. He also anxiously called Su Weiyu's father Su Rende. He knew that if his father went to the office, he would probably go to Su Rende But to his panic, Su Rende couldn't get through the phone either.

Xia Hao stayed in the office until two o'clock in a daze, not doing anything, his mind was full of his father Xia Yuanbo's illegal pledge of equity and possible embezzlement of the company's funds.

Now the only life-saving straw in his heart is the more than 100 billion deposits deposited by the company in the bank.

A series of panicked footsteps suddenly came from far and near, the assistant didn't even knock on the door, and pushed open the door of Xia Hao's office.

The assistant was out of breath, her hair was messed up, and she panicked, "Young Master Xia, the bank has replied!"

Xia Hao suddenly stood up from his chair: "What did the bank say?! What happened to the money?!"

"It's gone!" The assistant's face was full of panic, his voice trembling, "The money is gone! The bank said that the company's account balance is zero, and there is no penny in the account!"
