Through Thick and Thin

Xia Hao stood there blankly, his assistant's panicked words echoed in his mind.

He shook his head in despair, and repeated mechanically: "Impossible...impossible...how could such a large sum of money disappear out of thin air? How could it disappear without the board of directors' knowledge? Impossible...we must be I was tricked by Xiao Zhan..."

The assistant said in a trembling voice: "Master Xia, Mr. Liu and the others have confirmed with the bank again and again, it's true! There is really no money in the account! Now the board of directors is in chaos, and the deputy director still has The Chief Financial Officer and the others have already gone to look for Mr. Xia together, and you still have to give instructions on matters in the company..."

Xia Hao struggled to stabilize his mind, and shouted: "Show me the bank's reply!"

The assistant hurriedly brought the printed electronic reply letter from the bank. Xia Hao grabbed it and looked at it anxiously, only to see the words on the paper: "The bank deposit balance of this account is 0 yuan, and this account is linked to our bank. For account business, the collected amount is 14,704,371,869.34 yuan."

Xia Hao stared at it blankly, and said in astonishment: "Why is the balance zero and there is still more than 140 billion?! What does this mean?!"

The assistant paused, anxious and helpless in his heart, and couldn't help but wonder how Mr. Xia and his son didn't know about this after being the general manager for so many years, so he could only explain at the moment: "Young Master Xia, the company account The money may have been mortgaged and frozen by the bank, or the funds have been transferred to the joint account. The joint account is in the name of Mr. Xia, and Mr. Xia is illegally occupying the company's funds!"

Xia Hao frantically turned on the phone, and the financial software on the screen was full of content pushed by this bank reply letter, "The bank reply letter reveals that Boda Materials' 140 billion yuan in cash is missing, and the major shareholder is suspected of embezzling the property of the listed company", an explosive headline, Floating on the home page of all information.

Xia Hao's hands trembled, as if all his strength had been emptied, and his expression was blank.

It's over, it's over.

As soon as the news that the major shareholder of Boda Materials was suspected of embezzling property of listed companies, transferring assets in violation of regulations, financial fraud, and illegal mortgages came out, the entire market was shaken.

All of a sudden, even the phone calls of the fund managers of major fund companies were almost exploded, and customers with large-cap funds asked whether the stock index funds they purchased were affected.

Throughout the afternoon, Lu Chuiqing's colleagues were discussing this matter. The overwhelming financial news on the Internet was all about this matter, and the stock exchange also sent inquiries to Boda Materials one after another, pressing every step of the way.

140 billion in cash disappeared out of thin air, and no one would believe it, especially those bankers and retail investors who bought Boda materials heavily this year, were overwhelmed by this sudden news, as if a The inconspicuous small flames spread overnight and burned down the houses of various dealers.

Lu Chuiqing felt a little embarrassed, although he had witnessed it once, but after experiencing this incident again, and being closer to the center of the vortex, Lu Chuiqing still couldn't believe it.

Next, the exchange will definitely start investigating the financial fraud of Boda Materials.Now that the company's capital chain has been broken and the cash has evaporated, Xia Yuanbo has long been unable to recover from this situation.

Boda Materials has not yet responded to any inquiries from the exchange, and it is estimated that it is also very anxious.Lu Chuiqing felt that in order to save the reputation of the whole company, which had already fallen to the bottom, Boda Materials would probably launch Xia Yuanbo directly in the future.

As Lu Chuiqing expected, after discussion, the board of directors of Boda Materials decided to issue a company statement and voluntarily announce the results of self-examination, indicating that the company may indeed have the possibility of major shareholders occupying funds.

Xia Hao did not participate in the emergency board meeting this time. After learning about this, he found Mr. Liu without saying a word, and said anxiously: "Mr. Liu! You can't push my dad out!"

Mr. Liu looked like he hadn't rested all day, and his expression was tired and haggard. He looked at Xia Hao who broke into his office, sighed deeply, and said, "Young Master Xia, this is also a forced decision. Now the company is The turmoil is on the cusp, and the stock price will definitely not be able to be kept. The exchange will ask other firms to check our financial reports. It is unknown what will happen next. I have been on the phone all afternoon, and they are all the bosses who bought our company's stocks. They are already furious when they called. At this juncture, don't hide it anymore."

Xia Hao roared: "What is concealment? There is no evidence to prove that my dad embezzled the company's assets! Maybe he was cheated? Maybe we were tricked by Xiao Zhan? You don't want to find out the whole story first, Instead, you are anxiously thinking about pushing my dad out first, how did my dad take care of you back then? Is this how you repay our family!"

"Manager Xia!" Mr. Liu gave a deep voice, and changed his words abruptly. He seemed to want to remind Xia Hao that he is the general manager of the company, and he should also consider what the company should do in the future. No matter whether Mr. Xia misappropriated the company's funds, made financial fraud, or violated regulations, it is illegal! The rest of our board of directors don't know about this matter. We have always believed in Mr. Xia, but Mr. Xia put other Members' trust is at stake!"

Xia Hao was stunned for a while, then he said in a dull voice: "Then what should my dad do..."

"Before doing these things, Mr. Xia has to consider the consequences. The company is not his own, and he has to bear it! Do you want the whole company to be dragged down by Mr. Xia?!" Mr. Liu paused, "And, President Xia has already agreed to our decision, so you don't have to insist, Young Master Xia."

"What did you say?! My dad agreed?!" Xia Hao looked terrified and shouted, "Where is my dad now? Let me see him!"

"Mr. Xia has already gone home." Mr. Liu gave Xia Hao a deep look for the last time, and said meaningfully, "Young Master Xia, you have been worried all day, go back and rest."

Xia Hao didn't have time to think about it, so he left the company and drove all the way home.

Xia Hao pushed open the door, and as soon as he entered, he heard his mother crying on the sofa.The elder sister Xia Xuanrou arrived at some time, and was sitting beside her mother, comforting her in a soft voice, her unadorned face was also full of anxiety and worry.

Before Xia Hao had time to talk to them, he turned around and ran upstairs, went straight to his father's study room, pushed the door open and entered, and saw at a glance that Xia Yuanbo was sitting on the sofa in the study room, and the cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table in front of him were gone. I can't let go.

Xia Yuanbo's face was unshaven, his eye sockets were sunken, thick dark circles hung under his slightly dull eyes, his back was bent, and he seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

"Dad!" Xia Hao shouted uncontrollably, "How can you promise Mr. Liu and the others to issue that statement? They are pushing you into the pit of fire! And why is there no money in the company's account? Dad, what are you doing?" I owe so much money outside?! Tell me clearly!"

"Why are you arguing!" Xia Yuanbo roared in a deep voice, took another puff of cigarette, and his expression became a little dazed for a while, "The company started to have problems with its capital chain two years ago. I raised funds everywhere... Mortgage... ...Borrowing money...is nothing more than knocking down the east wall and paying the west wall."

Xia Hao: "How could it be? The company is fine, how could it be possible...Dad, have you been cheated?! And why didn't you tell me that Xiao Zhan dumped the stock before we broke the contract? This matter It must have something to do with him!"

"I'm telling you there's a fart! You are usually very beautiful, and you think that others take you seriously. If you leave me, who will take you seriously!" Xia Yuanbo was furious, and pointed his finger at Xia Hao. "Xia Hao, you are my son. I'd rather you keep it secret from me and know how to calculate, than you just hide behind my back and eat soft food! Why do I ask the board of directors to come forward and issue a statement? Isn't it just to protect the company? ?All I did was to keep the company going! The company is my painstaking effort, how can I rest assured that most of my life's hard work is in your hands? You are too incompetent! I am so disappointed in you! "

Xia Hao stood stiffly in place, his father's words hovered in his mind, making him feel like he was struck by lightning.

Xia Yuanbo blushed and gasped for breath, finally threw himself heavily on the sofa, and said hoarsely: "Call your mother and sister up, I have something to say to them."

More than half a month later, another accounting firm announced the audit findings of Boda Materials’ financial reports, indicating that Boda Materials was suspected of using fake contracts of its subsidiaries to inflate profits many times, and Shuozheng Accounting Firm failed to give appropriate explanations. According to the audit results, there is suspicion of collusion in fraud.

In the past 20 days, the stock price of Boda Materials has experienced more than ten limit-downs, and now the stock price has dropped from about 20 yuan to about [-] yuan.

Shortly thereafter, Xia Yuanbo, the actual controller of the company, was dismissed from his post and under review for allegedly embezzling property of listed companies in violation of regulations and instigating financial fraud by an accounting firm. Once all the evidence is confirmed, he will be jailed.At the same time, Shuozheng Accounting Firm was suspended for investigation, and Su Rende, an executive of the firm who was in contact with Xia Yuanbo, was also suspended for further criminal investigation.

In mid-December, Xiao Zhan repurchased [-]% of the shares at a price of [-] yuan.Xiao Zhan's repurchase this time is the first time in so many days that the stock price of Boda Materials has shown a red line.

Not long after Xiao Zhan repurchased the stock, Xia Yuanbo was arrested, and Boda Materials began to suspend trading indefinitely.

When the entire short-selling plan is over, after deducting the handling fee and repurchase costs, the net profit is more than 600 million.After the money was actually placed in Xiao Zhan's account, Lu Chuiqing could hardly put the corner of her mouth down as she counted the zeros behind the number.

So far, the serial explosions caused by the huge thunder in the stock market have finally stopped, and the market value of Boda Materials has evaporated by 900 billion.

The Xia family, which had lost its backbone, was defeated overnight and had to bear a lot of foreign debts.And who could have imagined that the upper-class family who spent a lot of money in September to hold a luxurious birthday party for the eldest son of the family could fall to such a state in just a few months?

Everything in the capital market is not a secret. It didn't take long for Xiao Zhan to bet [-] million to short Boda and spread in the circle.

Most of the people were amazed, saying that Mr. Xiao really had a clear view, and he could pick such a good time, place and people; many people were also jealous, but they had no choice but to be jealous. I can only look at the stocks that I am completely locked in and worry about.

But at this moment, Xiao Zhan, the central figure in the vortex, was sitting leisurely by the sofa in the bedroom, watching with great interest Lu Chuiqing, who was looking at the bank account balance details and rolling happily on the bed.
