Chapter 551 Innocence
Su Lao Er also laughed.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with Uncle Yan. I won't bother two people with one matter. My mother is thinking of getting a piece of land to build dormitories for these veterans to solve their accommodation problem, and hoping to reunite their families. If they are able, she can also arrange a job for their relatives."
Yan Shi nodded, his eyes filled with even more admiration.
He said, "Your mother is very thoughtful. I've noted this down. I'll have the secretary-general contact you when a suitable place comes up."
"Okay, then on behalf of my mother, I'll thank Uncle Yan first."
Su Lao Er felt relieved, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
After finishing their business, Su Lao Er and the secretary-general left the office.
Yan Shi sighed, returned to his desk, and made a phone call to Xu's father.
I asked him, "Are you aware that your in-laws are investing in stocks in Shanghai?"
"Stock trading?"
Mr. Xu really didn't know. "She runs a health center, and Su Fengtiao owns dozens of general stores. They're both people who don't lack money. Li Banxia doesn't seem like the type to gamble, so why would she be involved in stock trading?"
Yan Shi laughed, "You don't know, do you? Not only did she invest in stocks, she also took out tens of millions in loans and poured it all in. Guess how much she made out of the stock market?"
"Taking out a loan to speculate on stocks? Tens of millions..."
this……
This completely overturned Xu's father's understanding. He really couldn't believe that Li Banxia had such courage and audacity. "She's really bold! Since you said you'd make a killing, it must be more than tens of millions? Could it be... hundreds of millions?"
This was just Xu's father exaggerating.
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard my friend laughing at me on the other end of the phone.
"You're really getting old; you don't even dare to have wild ideas anymore."
Xu's father, "..."
He glared at the microphone, annoyed, and said, "Does she think she can turn over billions?!"
"Oh, right," Yan Shi smiled.
Xu's father frowned and spat at Yan Shi, "I think you're the one who's really dreaming!"
Yan Shi laughed heartily.
He laughed a few times and then stopped. "I'm not lying to you. That old bastard Guo Zaimin took you to the China Banking Regulatory Commission today, and two of his men locked you in the basement. Min'an couldn't reach you by phone, so they came to me. That's how I found out."
He briefly explained what had happened, and then there was a moment of silence on the phone.
Yan Shi glanced at the phone, "Old Xu?"
"...It's actually true!"
Xu's father's voice was full of shock, "This Li Banxia usually doesn't show off, and her health center only helps people with sub-health conditions, not cures diseases. The real money is made by her son's general store. But I've investigated her privately. Although Su Fengtiao doesn't seem very reliable, he's very fair in business and earns his money through hard work..."
Then, she changed the subject, "...So what if they made money? They just luckily seized the dividends of the times and risked their lives to earn some money to make a living. Besides, what era are we living in now? It's not appropriate to call it undermining socialism, is it? What is Guo Zaimin doing? Oh, by convicting people and confiscating their money, they think they are righteous and selfless?"
Yan Shi found it amusing and occasionally chimed in with a word of agreement.
Xu's father, however, became increasingly agitated, spitting angrily, "Should we report this to higher authorities? I can't say for sure about other things, but given Li Banxia's character, there's no way she could be colluding with anyone inside Yu Garden. Why are you testing me right off the bat? Are you also part of Guo Zaimin's group? I'm hanging up, I'm going to make a call..."
"Why!"
Yan Shi hurriedly tried to stop him, "Look at your stubborn temper. If I were on their side, I would have already made the judgment. Why would I need to ask you? I don't trust Li Banxia, but I trust you too! I've already asked my secretary to have someone investigate. We'll have the results soon."
Seeing that Xu's father remained silent, he pressed on, "The sudden removal of the stock market's daily price fluctuation limits and the change of T+0 trading hours were all things that happened overnight. Li Banxia's connections don't reach the higher-ups. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Li Banxia is almost certainly not involved with those people inside Yu Garden. As for inside stories, that's just nonsense."
“…Hmm.” Mr. Xu responded abruptly.
Yan Shi chuckled, "You, you, I called you because I was worried you were confused. Now that you understand, I'm relieved. It was the CBRC that did something wrong. I'll have someone keep an eye on things and make sure your in-laws don't suffer."
"They were in the wrong from the start. Who hires someone to cooperate with an investigation and then locks them up in a basement? This constitutes illegal detention. They knowingly break the law. Who gave them the guts?"
Xu's father said coldly, "This Guo Zaimin claims he knew nothing about it, and that his men wouldn't dare do this without his permission?! He's lying!"
"Alright, calm down. Next time you see them, go and confront them."
The two exchanged a few more words, but Yan Shi had to get busy, so he hung up the phone.
He put down the phone, let out a slow breath, pressed the intercom, and called the secretary-general, "Come in here."
The secretary knocked and entered. Yan Shi tapped the table and said, "Find someone to go to the China Banking Regulatory Commission to cooperate with them in investigating Li Banxia and Yu Garden. When she got money, her first thought was of our veterans. We can't let such a conscientious businesswoman be disheartened."
"Okay, Mayor Yan, don't worry." The secretary nodded knowingly.
With Yan City giving the green light and sending people to investigate together, Guo Zaimin dared not take any hard line.
The questioning was all arranged in his office, with tea and snacks provided. Municipal officials watched from the side, and Guo Zaimin had to think carefully before speaking each word.
When asked about her reasons for buying all of Yu Garden, Li Banxia led people directly to her study. One entire cabinet was filled with newspapers and magazines, as well as her daily notes and analyses of stock-related information from financial news reports, radio, and television.
Yuyuan Mall was highlighted by her in a stock market news program at the end of last year, and it remained a key focus of her attention until May of this year.
She also made numerous annotations on all kinds of products involved in Yu Garden.
The handwriting on these items ranges in color from dark to light, and at a glance, it's clear that they were written down day by day.
Guo Zaimin looked at Li Banxia with admiration.
Li Banxia looked back, "If Director Guo still has any questions, you can go to the telephone company and pull out the call logs for my home phone from when it was installed until now, to see if there are any communication records with Yu Garden. Also, I hired an employee in Shanghai who works at the stock exchange, and he calls every three days to report on the stock market trends..."
"good."
After Guo Zaimin returned, he sent someone to Shanghai to question Yang Shu.
They even brought up the matter of reselling government bonds a couple of years ago. People from the China Banking Regulatory Commission even went to Jinzhou to find Lao Tao and Xiao Zhu, who sold government bonds to Li Banxia back then, and asked them about what happened back then.
Further afield, even when Li Banxia sold gold nuggets and earned his first sum of money from reselling state-issued bonds, these people dug it all up.
Even more so, they knew everything about Li Banxia, from the time of her divorce until now, including all the people she knew and the things she had experienced.
After a month, the group finally determined that the more than 7 billion yuan that Li Banxia had made in the stock market had absolutely nothing to do with the Yuyuan Mall. It was simply that he had seized the opportunity and cashed out swiftly and decisively.
Although it seems like a fantasy, it does actually exist.
Director Guo, accompanied by two of his subordinates, personally went to apologize. "Comrade Li Banxia, I am deeply sorry for our negligence in our work. I'm sorry you've been wronged. As for these two people, I'll listen to your advice on how to deal with them."
