Chapter 789
After Wang Yuanjiu's explanation, Lu Yiming finally found out what was going on.
It turned out that after Wang Qiufen graduated, her family was busy looking for a job for her. At this time, a distant relative of theirs named Shi Ding found them and said that he could arrange for Wang Qiufen to work at Future Capital.
In the following period of time, Shi Ding took two million from the Wang family under various pretexts.
Two million in 2004.
I have to say that the Wang family is really rich.
Lu Yiming even wanted to complain, you are so rich but you still find a shitty job, wouldn’t it be nice to buy a few houses and be a landlady?
Wang Yuanjiu still felt resentful when he mentioned this incident, saying: "At that time, I heard that there was a way to get into Future Capital, so I chose to believe it without thinking too much, and the result was..."
Li Yiwen was in charge of the daily management of Future Capital. Hearing this, he could not help but say, "Future Capital usually recruits employees through formal channels, and must go through layers of approval by the company. Even if there is a backdoor, it is not something that a branch manager can do. And I know all the employees of the Zhonghai branch, and I have never heard of Shi Ding you mentioned."
Wang Yuanjiu had a bitter expression: "I didn't know at the time, and I thought my relatives would definitely not lie to me. Who would have thought he was so evil."
Lu Yiming said seriously: "How did you get cheated? Can you describe the process in detail?"
Wang Yuanjiu recalled, "At first, Shi Ding claimed that he could help my daughter get a job at Future Capital. At that time, Future Capital was very popular, and its benefits were top-notch in China. I often saw similar news in newspapers, so I didn't doubt it. I paid 100,000 yuan after the interview."
The specific process of this matter is that Shi Ding found Wang Yuanjiu's family, claiming that he worked in the investment department of Future Capital, and could use his connections to get Wang Qiufen into Future Capital.
Although they didn't interact much in normal times, Shi Ding quickly gained the trust of Wang Yuanjiu's family because they were relatives.
After Shi Ding received the 100,000 yuan, he found two people to pretend to be the head of the investment division and the director of the human resources department, and "introduced" Wang Yuanjiu and Wang Qiufen's family in person to gain their trust. Then he arranged an interview.
This matter was so outrageous that even Lu Yiming found it unbelievable: "One hundred thousand just for the interview?"
It was not until now that Lu Yiming realized how famous Future Capital was. Some people were willing to pay an interview fee of 100,000 just to come and work for him!
Lu Yiming couldn't help thinking: If I interview one person, I get 100,000. If I interview 100 people a day, that's 10 million. That's more than 300 million a year...
Of course, Lu Yiming would definitely not do such a thing.
The main reason is that the money comes in too slowly.
Just over 300 million a year, what can you do with that?
Wang Yuanjiu cursed: "Shi Ding, this bastard, first said that my daughter's education and work experience were insufficient, and she needed to take exams before she could start working. In two years, he would arrange for her to study abroad in England. I was so happy at the time that I fell for his trick and didn't think much about it. Later, Shi Ding C also cheated me of more than one million yuan by applying for study abroad qualifications, visa fund freezing review, and insurance purchase."
Lu Yiming frowned and asked, "Have you never doubted it?"
Wang Yuanjiu said: "I doubted it, but after Shi Ding took my daughter to Future Capital for half a month, I dispelled my doubts."
Upon hearing that Wang Qiufen had "successfully joined" Future Capital's China Overseas branch, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen were both very surprised, and at the same time had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Other things can be faked, but the office location of Future Capital cannot be faked.
There must be something fishy about the fact that Wang Qiufen was arranged to "work" there.
Li Yiwen said to Lu Yiming: "It is difficult to arrange internships for people in the company without the help of an insider."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly, then stood up and said to Wang Yuanjiu: "Okay, I understand the specific situation. Don't worry, I will definitely help you get your money back."
After leaving Wang Yuanjiu's house, Lu Yiming said to Li Yiwen, "It's a pity that the fraudster has not been caught, otherwise we would know who is the problem inside the company. This case must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise once it is exposed, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of Future Capital."
It has to be said that this was a public relations crisis.
Although the victims were deceived because of their own stupidity, the incident happened in the territory of Future Capital's Zhonghai branch, so Lu Yiming couldn't just find a temporary worker to take the blame. And this was not his style.
"This matter cannot be publicized, but it must be done quickly. I will go talk to Li Qiu."
After returning home, Lu Yiming called Li Qiu and explained the situation.
When Li Qiu heard that there was another job coming, he immediately agreed and said, "Okay, I got it. I'll arrange for someone to follow up right away."
Lu Yiming asked: "How do you plan to check?"
Li Qiu said: "I will arrange for someone to enter the Zhonghai branch of Future Capital under the name of internship. If this kind of thing is done, it will definitely leave some clues."
After listening to this, Lu Yiming felt that there was no problem and immediately said, "Okay, I'll take care of this matter."
Two weeks later, the investigation results came out quickly.
There was a detailed investigation report in front of Lu Yiming.
After reading it, Lu Yiming looked very unhappy.
Li Yiwen asked: "What's wrong?"
Lu Yiming said: "See for yourself."
Li Yiwen looked at the document with doubts.
As a result, after reading the document, he slammed the table and couldn't help cursing: "It's simply lawless!"
Originally, they speculated that there was a traitor in Future Capital, who was colluding with Shi Ding.
As a result, the information obtained by Li Qiu's investigation showed that there was not one, but three traitors!
And they are all executives of Future Capital!
These guys use very intimidating methods to deceive people. First, they arrange jobs through introductions from acquaintances, and the process is very formal. They directly the campus recruitment and internship model to invite people in, intern for a period of time, and then send them on tours in the form of outbound assignments, calling it "investment inspection."
The deceived victims initially thought they had gotten a great bargain. They ate, drank and had fun every day, and when they got to the destination, they could just write an investigation report to get away with it. They could also receive a salary on time every month, which was really great.
The wool comes from the sheep. You are greedy for the high salary in the future, but the scammers want your principal.
And the reasons for fraud are varied.
For example, Shi Ding asked Wang Yuanjiu and his daughter Wang Qiufen for relevant fees on the grounds .
In addition, Shi Ding also forged a fund purchase contract of Future Capital, and persuaded Wang Yuanjiu and his wife to borrow money to raise funds for the purchase on the grounds that purchasing the private equity fund would be beneficial to Wang Qiufen's career, defrauding a total of more than 2 million yuan.
Not one but more than a dozen people were deceived, and the amount involved was more than 30 million!
The reason why Wang Yuanjiu called the police was because a friend to whom he had lent money was at home in urgent need of money, so he had no choice but to redeem the principal. However, Shi Ding was unable to pay and simply ran away. Wang Yuanjiu finally realized that something was wrong.
Wang Yuanjiu couldn't find Shi Ding, so he had to call the police and then planned to sue Future Capital.
In fact, in this case, Future Capital could have completely shirked its responsibility by saying it had no knowledge of the matter. After all, it was Shi Ding who defrauded the money, and Shi Ding was not an employee of Future Capital.
But public opinion will not talk to you about the law, let alone reason. Since the words "Future Capital" are involved in this matter, Future Capital will definitely not be able to stay out of it.
Li Yiwen asked: "What should we do now? Should we keep a low profile?"
Lu Yiming said: "We can't keep a low profile. Let's just call the police. We can't take the blame for this."
In fact, it is very simple to suppress this case. It is nothing more than paying compensation. The total compensation is only more than 30 million, which is just a drizzle for Lu Yiming and can save a lot of trouble.
As long as compensation is paid, the victim will definitely be willing to shut up, and then wait for the storm to pass, and then fire the people involved, and put an end to it all.
However, Lu Yiming knew that the more things were concealed, the more dangerous they would be if they were exposed in the future.
This incident had nothing to do with Future Capital, on the contrary, Future Capital was the victim. If Future Capital paid the money first and then investigated, once the incident was exposed, everyone would definitely assume that it was Future Capital who did it - why would you take the initiative to pay the money if it wasn't you who did it?
This is just like what a certain judge said: Why should you help if you didn't hit someone?
By then, it will be like yellow mud falling into your crotch, and it will be shit if not shit.
How bad would the impact be if an investment company was involved in a fraud case?
But Lu Yiming knew very well that this matter had to be dealt with publicly. Otherwise, if it was suppressed now, it would be exposed later and the damage would be even greater.
The most important thing is that Lu Yiming doesn't want to clean up the mess for those people. After causing such a big mess, Lu Yiming plans to send them to jail himself!
Li Yiwen is Lu Yiming's chief financial officer. He is the boss of the entire Future Capital system. Now there is a traitor among his subordinates, and he is the most uncomfortable.
"Those bastards are really crazy about making money! Aren't the benefits the company gives them high enough? How dare they make this kind of money!?"
Lu Yiming sighed and said helplessly: "It can only be said that people are greedy. How can a salary of several hundred thousand a year compare to the tens of millions of dollars defrauded? Once people have power, it is difficult to maintain their original intentions. Human nature is evil."
Lu Yiming looked at the time and said, "I'm going to the Zhonghai branch."
"Um."
Half an hour later, Lu Yiming appeared at the Future Capital Zhonghai Branch.
The girl at the front desk was startled when she saw Lu Yiming appear. She was originally playing with her fingernails carelessly, but she quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Lu!"
Lu Yiming didn't notice that the girl was slacking off. He asked with a dark face, "Where's Wen Jindou? Is he here? Ask him to come see me."
The girl at the front desk quickly looked through the notebook and said, "Boss Wen is out inspecting a new project today. Do you want to call him back?"
"Give him half an hour. If he doesn't show up in the small meeting room within half an hour, he can leave."
"OK!"
Lu Yiming walked to the small meeting room, pulled up a stool, sat down, and started playing with his phone.
After a while, an elderly woman wearing a leopard print miniskirt, flesh-colored stockings, and black boots passed by Lu Yiming. After seeing Lu Yiming, she asked, "Are you a new employee? I haven't seen you before. What's your last name?"
Lu Yiming raised his head, looked at the heavily made-up woman, frowned and said, "My last name is Lu."
The elderly woman said naturally, "Then I'll call you Xiao Lu. Go downstairs and buy me a cup of coffee. I'm thirsty."
Lu Yiming couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The company's employees are explicitly required to wear work clothes to work, but this is the core area of the company and non-employees are not allowed to enter.
However, Lu Yiming did not reveal his identity, nor did he get angry. Instead, he said lightly, "Okay, what about the front?"
When the middle-aged woman heard that Lu Yiming was asking her for money, she immediately became unhappy and said contemptuously, "I asked you to run errands because I respect you and give you a chance. Don't be ungrateful at such a young age. Others who want to buy me coffee don't have this opportunity! Do you know who I am?"
Lu Yiming said honestly, "I don't know. Can you tell me?"
Seeing that Lu Yiming was young and she had never seen him before, the middle-aged woman thought he was a new intern in the company and said arrogantly, "I am your CEO Qi's biological mother. Do you understand?"
"Mr. Qi? Which Mr. Qi?"
When he heard the word "Qi", the expression on Lu Yiming's face changed.
Because, among the three company insiders investigated by Li Qiu , one had the surname Qi!
The elderly woman put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Qi Delong, he is a senior executive of your company, you must know him, right? Young man, I think you are also a candidate for dismissal. You are so ignorant that you don't even know your own boss."
"Qidelong?"
This person is the traitor in the company!
This is really a case of searching for something everywhere but finally finding it without any effort!
Seeing the surprised expression on Lu Yiming's face, the elderly woman thought that Lu Yiming was frightened, and suddenly became more proud: "Huh, what do you think? Do you know who I am? I'm not showing off to you here. There are so many people in this company who want to treat me to dinner and drinks, but I don't bother to pay attention to them. I just think you are handsome, and I like handsome boys, so I'm giving you a chance to treat me to coffee. Don't be ungrateful."
How could Lu Yiming care about what this woman said now? He asked back: "So, you are not an employee of Future Capital?"
Just now he suspected that this elderly woman was not an employee of the company. Now that this person admitted in person that she was Qi Delong's biological mother, Lu Yiming's anger suddenly burned fiercely.
Did Qi Delong treat the company as his own home? Not only did he do evil things himself, but he also brought everyone in his family to the company to bully others?
Moreover, judging from her tone, this woman has been here for a while, and there is no telling how many people in the company have been bullied by her.
After all, Lu Yiming is too busy with his work, and he owns so many companies. If he has to participate in the management of every company, even if there are forty-eight hours in a day, it will not be enough for him.
Therefore, every company basically has its own complete management team.
But he didn't expect that such a thing would happen in his most important company!
And this is the company where Li Yiwen is the main person in charge! If the people below can do this, then who knows what will happen to other companies!
Lu Yiming was thinking in his heart that after this matter was over, he would have to sort out all the companies under his control and even set up an independent supervisory agency to do these things specifically.
Facing Lu Yiming's questioning, the elderly woman felt very unhappy and said arrogantly: "What does it have to do with you whether I am an employee here or not? You are just a small employee, and it takes so much trouble for me to buy me a cup of coffee. I will go and tell my husband to fire you directly! Don't even think about working here anymore!"
After saying that, the old woman twisted her waist and turned away.
Looking at her back, Lu Yiming's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly.
After a while, the elderly woman came over with a pot-bellied Mediterranean man.
Seeing that Lu Yiming didn't leave, the old woman's eyes flashed with sharpness, and she said loudly to Qi Delong: "This newcomer Lu doesn't know any rules. I asked him to buy me a cup of coffee, but he not only refused, but also questioned me. This is simply unreasonable! Son, help me teach him a lesson."
Qi Delong was furious when he saw someone dare to bully his mother. He looked carefully and found that it was Lu Yiming who was sitting there. He was so scared that he stammered, "Lu... Mr. Lu..."
"Mr. Lu?"
Qi Delong's mother looked at Lu Yiming puzzledly.
Lu Yiming said to Qi Delong coldly: “Your mother asked you to teach me a lesson, what are you waiting for?”
Upon hearing this, Qi Delong almost fell to his knees, and he didn't know how many times he had criticized his mother in his heart. But now that things have come to this, it is definitely useless to blame his mother. He wiped his sweat and said, "Boss Lu, listen to my explanation, there must be a misunderstanding here!"
"Misunderstand?"
Lu Yiming took out the investigation report he got from Li Qiu, threw it over, and asked sternly: "What about this, is it also a misunderstanding?"
Qi Delong hurriedly picked up the document on the ground, and began to tremble all over when he read half of it, muttering, "It's over, it's over, everything is over."
When the elderly woman saw that Lu Yiming dared to treat Qi Delong like this, she immediately realized that something was wrong and asked in a trembling voice: “Son, who is this kid?”
Lu Yiming sneered and said, “Qi Delong, do I have to hang my photo on the wall to let you know that this company belongs to me?”
"ah?"
It was only then that the elderly woman realized that the young man in front of her, who looked too young, was actually her son's boss!
She just ordered her son's boss around and acted bossy?
If things go wrong, my son might even lose his job.
Thinking of this, she quickly put on a smile and said to Lu Yiming: "Um, Mr. Lu, everything that happened just now was just a misunderstanding..."
