I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 63 The fox shows its tail
Was this just acting?!

A play for me?!
Fang Qingye suddenly thought of something.

However, he remained calm and followed Duan Jianming into the office building.

Fang Qingye met Zhang Chunli and Chen Meimei in a conference room and asked, "Have you found any problems?"

Chen Meimei shook her head.

Zhang Chunli also said, "I don't have any either." Then she smiled and said to Duan Jianming who was following behind, "Mr. Duan, your company's financial accounts are very standardized, even more standardized than those of some large companies."

"That's as we should. We can't cook the books. Besides, accounting standards can also reflect a company's management capabilities," said Duan Jianming.

"Oh, let me see." Fang Qingye became interested.

He picked up an account book at random and began to look through it.

Indeed it is!

Each sale in the mall is accompanied by a deposit card swiping slip or cash receipt, the delivery note has the corresponding order number, and the consignee column also has a personal signature.

Fang Qingye took a few strokes to identify them and found that the handwriting of the signature on each one was different, and the color and thickness of the pen were also different.

Sales to companies are all contracted, and all payments are made through public-to-public bank transfers. Each transfer voucher is neatly printed with the "People's Bank of China watermark"

It’s really neat.

Even the accounts of Pioneer Stamping Co., Ltd. that I looked at yesterday were not so clear and standardized.

It is very rare for an enterprise of this size to have such clear accounts and such regular vouchers.

However, when things are abnormal, there must be something wrong!

Thinking of the unusual cleanliness he had just seen in the factory and the strange smile of Master Wang, the worker who was asking for his salary, Fang Qingye always felt that there was something strange here.

"President Fang, you have worked hard. Let's go to the conference room to thank you and have some watermelon." Duan Jianming greeted at this time.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look again."

Fang Qingye continued to look at various financial documents.

He suddenly discovered that one of the transfer checks was from Shenzhen Tongda Trading Company, transferring 2.8 million yuan to Athena Horticulture Technology Co., Ltd., and the paying bank was the Yannan Branch of China Communications Bank Co., Ltd.

Transferred from Bank of Communications?
Including Bank of Communications, there are five well-known state-owned banks. Now with the addition of a savings bank, there are already six state-owned banks. People are accustomed to calling them CCB and ABC. The full names are rarely used: China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, etc.

The Bank of Communications does not have a branch in Nanxin, it is only in Jinghai City, and most people don’t have much access to it.

Fang Qingye stared at the check from "China Communications Bank Co., Ltd." for a while, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Oh shit!

The fox's tail is finally revealed!

Fang Qingye took out his Nokia phone, took a photo of the check and saved it on his phone.

Seeing Fang Qingye's series of actions, Duan Jianming's expression changed, and he suddenly said, "President Fang, is that enough? Come to my office and sit down. I have something to discuss with you in private."

"Oh?" Fang Qingye showed a playful smile.

"Row."

The two men left the office and came to the room on the third floor with a sign that read "Chairman". After entering, they saw Fang Qingye sitting on the sofa. Duan Jianming locked the door and, without saying anything, took out a bulging plastic bag from the drawer of the boss's desk and placed it on the coffee table in front of Fang Qingye.

Inside were bundles of RMB! Fang Qingye estimated there were about 100,000 yuan.

"Boss Duan, what are you doing?" Fang Qingye asked, pretending not to understand.

"President Fang, you're a smart man. Let's be frank. As long as you pass today's on-site inspection, all of this will be yours."

"Boss Duan, this is a bribe. If I accepted the 100,000 yuan from you, it would be a crime of bribery. According to Article 385 of the Criminal Law, I shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention. I estimate that I will be sentenced to three years in prison." Fang Qingye said.

"President Fang, you're joking. Here, only God and the earth know. You and I know. If you and I don't tell it, who will know?" Duan Jianming said.

"Haha, I'm a timid person. Who knows if there are cameras or recorders in your office?" Fang Qingye said and stood up: "Let's go back. Our inspection ends here today. Goodbye."

After saying that, Fang Qingye left the office and went to the second floor where Zhang Chunli and the others were, and asked Zhang Chunli to make a copy of the check and other bills for the account and take them away.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Chunli couldn't help but ask, "President Fang, there's something wrong with this check. How come I didn't see it?"

"Because we don't have Bank of Communications here, we have very little dealings with them. Let's see what President Xia will say.
"Fang Qingye said, and sent the check he had just taken a photo of as an MMS attachment to Xia He.

Fang Qingye started the car and just drove out of the science and technology park when his cell phone rang. He saw that it was Xia He calling, so he pressed the speakerphone button and Xia He's voice came immediately.

"Assistant Fang, the check you sent me is obviously fake! The full name of Bank of Communications is Bank of Communications Co., Ltd., and there's no "China" in front of it! This Athena Horticulture Technology Co., Ltd. is cooking the books and has serious operational problems!"

"I know, we're back. Let's talk about it when we get to the office." Fang Qingye said and hung up the phone.

Zhang Huachun and Chen Meimei, who were sitting in the back row, were stunned. After a moment, Zhang Chunli spoke up, "President Fang, we're so lucky to have you here today, otherwise we'd have been tricked by that Boss Duan! I can't believe the Bank of Communications doesn't have "China" in its full name, unlike other banks."

Zhang Chunli was still talking to herself.

"You don't know, and the people in their company don't know either, otherwise it would be really indistinguishable from the real thing." Fang Qingye sighed.

He also didn't expect that Boss Duan was so bold as to forge a transfer check!
"President Fang, you are really amazing. Nothing can escape your sharp eyes." Chen Meimei, who seldom says compliments, actually said it with a look of admiration on her face.

Hey.
It's because I worked in an investment bank for more than ten years in my previous life, so I saw and heard so much.

Fang Qingye smiled slightly and said nothing.

Back at the branch, Fang Qingye had just entered his office when Xia He knocked on the door and came in, asking, "Xiao Fang, what's going on?"

Fang Qingye briefly recounted the process of his on-site inspection at Athena Horticulture Technology Co., Ltd., including his initial doubts.

However, he did not tell anyone that Duan Jianming had accepted bribes from him.

We should always leave some room for maneuver. Moreover, after this incident, Duan Jianming and his Athena Gardening Company have been blacklisted by Bank of Oriental, and they will not be able to borrow a penny in the short term.

"Xiao Fang, you're really attentive!" Xia He smiled and added, "It seems our employees still need more training. They don't even know such basic common sense as the full name of the Bank of Communications, which is not China."

"This is normal. Bank of Communications has no branches in Nanxin, and the companies we serve basically don't have any foreign exchange business from Bank of Communications. It's normal that they don't know." Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work. Take a rest first. We will have a meeting in the afternoon."

"What meeting?" Fang Qingye asked.

"It's a loan approval meeting." Xia He said.

"I'm not a member of the loan approval team, why do I need to hold a meeting?" Fang Qingye was very surprised.

"From now on, yes! I have discussed with President Su and decided to let you join the approval team!" Xia He smiled.

This?
Isn't there no specific business?
Fang Qingye suddenly felt cheated.

Athena Horticulture Technology Co., Ltd.'s loan application was rejected by the Bank of East Asia. Two days later, it was reported that a group of people broke into Athena and took away all the valuables inside. It turned out that Boss Duan owed a loan shark and refused to pay it back.
