Affected by the economic crisis, Qiu Degen's company suffered from a shortage of funds and serious losses. In order to prevent the company's stock price from continuing to plummet, Qiu Degen arranged for someone to secretly falsify the accounts.
Of course, that's not all; it also involves a power struggle among family brothers.
Zhao Ye had no interest in these matters.
He only arranged for people to collect evidence of Qiu Degen's falsification of accounts and to prepare for shorting Qiu Degen's company, and then he took the initiative to strike.
Even if Zhao Ye hadn't intervened, Qiu Degen's falsification of accounts would have been exposed sooner or later.
This can only mean he brought it on himself.
How can you do illegal and criminal things?
As the saying goes, "The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it," no one should harbor any illusions or think that they can escape the punishment of the law.
Since starting his business, Zhao Ye has always conducted business honestly and uprightly, without resorting to any shady practices. Even if someone investigates, they won't find anything wrong with him.
It wouldn't be difficult for Zhao Ye to investigate Qiu Degen's falsification of accounts, because only a limited number of people were involved in it. With a little coercion and bribery, he could get them to produce evidence voluntarily. Besides, falsified accounts don't stand up to scrutiny; professionals could quickly find the problems. The person who helped Qiu Degen falsify the accounts—wasn't he afraid?
It would be better to quickly take a sum of money and run away abroad to hide.
Just as Wei Xiuqi reached his front door, a man in black approached and said in a low voice, "You must be Wei Xiuqi. Our boss wants to see you!"
Looking at the tall, burly man in black, Wei Xiuqi felt a pang of panic. He hadn't offended any gang leaders recently.
"Hey buddy, who's your boss?"
"Don't ask, you'll know when you get there!" the man in black said coldly.
Wei Xiuqi thought about it and decided it would be better to go and meet them. If he didn't give them face, he would completely offend them, and it would be difficult for him to get along in Hong Kong in the future. He might even be hacked to death in the street one day...
Wei Xiuqi found the thought terrifying.
Before long, Wei Xiuqi followed the black man to a private room in a high-end hotel.
When he entered the private room, his expression was one of utter astonishment.
Zhou Anping?!
How could it be Zhou Anping?
Zhou Anping then said to Wei Xiuqi with a smile, "Mr. Wei, hello, please have a seat. I'm really sorry to invite you in this way, please don't mind."
Wei Xiuqi dared not mind, and quickly waved his hand to say he didn't mind, then walked towards Zhou Anping. However, Wei Xiuqi was quite puzzled inside.
I have no connection with Zhou Anping, so why would he secretly "invite" me to meet him?
The moment Wei Xiuqi sat down, he heard Zhou Anping's mocking laughter: "Mr. Wei, you've struck it rich lately, haven't you? Helping Qiu Degeng falsify accounts, he must have given you quite a bit of money..."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiuqi jumped up, his body trembling with fear.
"Mr. Zhou... no way, I didn't falsify the accounts!" Wei Xiuqi stammered incoherently.
Zhou Anping smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, don't be so nervous. I'm not a policeman, I won't arrest you. You know very well whether you did falsify the accounts or not. Now I'll give you two choices. The first is to hand over the evidence that you helped Qiu Degeng falsify the accounts, and I'll give you some money so you can run away abroad. The other is to wait to go to jail."
After a pause, Zhou Anping stepped forward, patted Wei Xiuqi on the shoulder, and said, "Mr. Wei, I believe you are a smart man and you should know how to choose!"
Wei Xiuqi is now certain that Zhou Anping must have evidence of his falsification of accounts, otherwise he wouldn't have been so certain in his tone.
Wei Xiuqi was terrified and filled with anxiety.
"Once you've gathered the evidence, give me a call. This is my business card; I'll arrange for someone to contact you. Oh, and by the way, whatever you do, don't let Qiu Degeng know about our meeting, or the consequences will be dire, understand?"
Wei Xiuqi subconsciously took the business card, then nodded blankly, clearly agreeing with Zhou Anping's words.
No matter how good your former employer is, it's not as important as your own future.
With a "bang," Zhou Anping and the others walked out of the private room and closed the door.
Wei Xiuqi finally came to his senses and said blankly, "Boss Qiu, I'm sorry, 'every man for himself,' I don't want to go to jail!"
...
...
The next morning, Wei Xiuqi began collecting evidence of helping Qiu Degen falsify accounts.
A few days later, he went to a public phone booth and called Zhou Anping.
"Mr. Zhou, this is Wei Xiuqi. I have compiled all the information you requested..."
"Okay, Mr. Wei, I'll arrange for someone to come and pick up the documents from you right away."
The two then discussed the time and place to meet.
In the afternoon, Zhou Anping obtained evidence that Qiu Degen had falsified accounts.
Wei Xiuqi, with the money, fled with his family to Canada.
...
"Boss, we've obtained the evidence of Qiu Degen's falsification of accounts. Should we begin taking action?" Zhou Anping asked.
"Speed is of the essence in war; we can't let Qiu Degeng react in time. Immediately hand this information anonymously to the police. At the same time, secretly arrange for traders to short Qiu Degeng's company!" Zhao Ye said after a moment's thought.
"OK!"
On the morning of March 1st, just after the Hong Kong stock market opened, Chiu Tak-kwan's Far East Group was suddenly targeted by a massive short-selling attack, shocking investors.
Shortly after, the police announced that they had received an anonymous tip that Qiu Degen was falsifying accounts, and they had obtained relevant evidence of Qiu Degen's falsification of accounts.
The news immediately caused a huge uproar in the stock market.
