Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 35 Review of SDIC
In the conference room of the Investment Department of SDIC, when Bi Sheng saw me coming in, he was so frightened that he almost sat on the floor.

I just smiled and said hello: "Mr. Bi, long time no see! Why are you so surprised to see me? Didn't you know I was coming?"

Bi Sheng immediately regained his composure. In front of so many people, he didn't want to show off too much. He smiled and asked, "Mr. Chen, why are you here today?"

I said "oh" and introduced Hu Chudao next to me: "Director Hu from the Provincial Banking Regulatory Bureau Management Committee, aren't the quarterly financial statements of SDIC about to be released? Come and review them!"

Bi Sheng really couldn't pretend to be calm this time. He frowned and asked, "Why didn't we be notified in advance? Where did this order come from? SDIC is a financial institution directly under the central government, and it's not something your province can just check on. !”

Before I could say anything, Hu Chu said with a serious face: "We are going to review, do I need to inform you?"

I said with a smile: "This is a routine inspection, why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that something will be found?"

Bi Sheng said hurriedly: "What are we afraid of? How do I know if your investigation is really legal?"

Hu Chu casually took out a stack of documents, threw them on the table and said, "Read it yourself!"

An old man next to Bi Sheng put on his eyes, took the documents on the table, and read them for a long time. Then he slowly took off his eyes and said to Bi Sheng, "Let them check!"

Bi Sheng said to the old man with great respect: "Secretary Li, this..."

When Hu Chu heard that it was Secretary Li, he hurriedly came forward to say hello: "I'm so sorry, is it Secretary Li? I don't know, you are still in charge of SDIC. I thought you had retired?"

Secretary Li smiled slightly and said: "Everyone wants me to retire as soon as possible and not block the way of young people, right? I think so too, but the organization trusts me and sends me to take care of this last step. Do you have any objections? ?”

Hu Chu shook his head hurriedly and said: "Looking at what you always said, what opinions can we have?"

Secretary Li hummed and said, "Then you can investigate. Do you need us to avoid it?"

Hu Chu looked at me, and I said with some embarrassment: "It's best to avoid it! After the review, let's just check again!"

Secretary Li was obviously unhappy. He snorted and walked out without saying anything.

Bi Sheng said to the other people in the room: "Everyone, please avoid it for now. People from the province are reviewing it!"

Hu Chu stopped Bi Sheng who was about to leave and said, "Mr. Bi, I have to ask you to summarize all the financial data you want to submit this quarter to me!"

Bi Sheng hummed and said, "Okay, I'll ask them to come over!" Then he looked at me and said, "Mr. Chen, would you like to go out and have a cigarette together?"

I looked at Hu Chu and asked him, and he said impatiently: "Go back quickly, be careful of the impact!"

I nodded.

As soon as we were in the corridor, Bi Sheng looked at the camera, pulled me to the blind spot of the camera, and whispered to me: "What are you going to do? Are you going to completely destroy me?"

I looked at him puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about? Why do you want to destroy you?"

Bi Sheng snorted and said, "My investment company has gone bankrupt. I worked so hard to get to SDIC. Why are you pestering me again?"

I smiled and said: "How can you say that I am entangled with you? I am also happy for you when you join SDIC! It is just a routine matter for the superiors to check your account. Didn't you just come here? What are you afraid of? ? There’s something wrong with SDIC’s account? That has nothing to do with you!”

Bi Sheng was very embarrassed. He wanted to explain, but he didn't dare to explain to me. He asked helplessly: "Can you just go through the motions and give me face? We will do the data. You can just review it! As long as you save face." Just get through with it! Just treat this favor as something I owe you!"

I asked directly: "Still helping Secretary Wang? Do you know his current situation? Do you think you are in deep enough?"

Bi Sheng looked at me in surprise, and then immediately denied it: "Why do you work for Secretary Wang? I was kicked out by them a long time ago. I just found a job for myself! Don't talk nonsense, I just got it." Secretary Li’s approval!”

I yelled, "Really? Then why are you nervous? Secretary Li didn't say anything. Didn't he just let us investigate at will? Just cooperate!"

Bi Sheng was so anxious. He didn't know that I was the reinforcement sent by Secretary Wang, and he didn't know that Hu Chu was also helping me?
After hesitating for a long time, he said: "Let me tell you the truth, that company's accounts cannot withstand scrutiny. You must know this. Most of them are just a formality. I just took office, and I don't want to be discovered as soon as I take office." The financial statements are not normal. I definitely want to make the data more attractive and a little watery. Can you please talk to the superiors and let us get through it if you can?"

I snorted and said: "Our company can withstand scrutiny! No one has any water! This little water of yours may have a huge impact on many retail investors! They are all risking their lives to follow You go forward!"

Bi Sheng sighed and said: "Why can't you change your identity? You are already a rich man, why do you always care so much about retail investors? They are all gamblers, even if we don't guide them, They will also hit the wall and bump into each other like headless flies. Their profit and loss have nothing to do with us! This kind of report, this kind of guidance, mobile APP, Weibo analysis, short-view screen expert analysis, it is everywhere , they don’t necessarily trust anyone, it has nothing to do with us!”

I yelled, "What do you mean you don't care whether they live or die?"

Bi Sheng replied confidently: "Of course! How can a casino owner care about the gamblers who come to gamble on luck? It can't be that if the banker is free, they must buy the free ones, right? If they lose money, blame the banker. If they win money, they won’t give it to the banker! If the banker cares about the winning or losing of each gambler, how can he make money? This is how the world works! If you have no luck, you don’t have to gamble. Since it’s blocked , you have to be willing to admit defeat!"

I smiled and said: "I understand! You think you are making money from those gamblers, people who think they are lucky! Those who are willing to take the bait, right? But you are different, you are taking the fake You sent out the winning numbers and told them that they would win if they bought them. As a result, a group of fools followed your information and bought, losing their pants. When they turned around, you said that you didn't say it, or that all you told them was just The winning numbers may not be certain! They lost money because they were greedy, and they deserved it!" Bi Sheng hummed and said, "Yeah, if they weren't greedy, they wouldn't have bought it! Moreover, it's not necessarily You lose, at least there is a 50, 50 chance!"

I made a sound and said: "You are telling me so many truths, just because you want me to turn a blind eye!"

Bi Sheng was a little surprised and said: "That's what it means. You are also a businessman. I believe you can understand this! In this way, after this time is over, I will give you 10% of the equity of Private State Investment Corporation!"

I wowed and said, "Such a big deal? How much money did you charge? If that's the case, why don't I just ask the person who gave you the money to ask for it directly? Why should I go through you?"

Bi Sheng's eyes lit up and he asked, "Okay, but can you convince the person in the room?"

I curled my lips and said, "I can't convince you. I didn't invite him here, he came uninvited! I'm the superfluous person. I didn't invite him here, but he asked me to come here to assist in the review!"

Bi Sheng thought for a while and said: "I know you must have a way! How much do you want, please give me a price?"

I shook my head and said, "I'm not as short of money as you are. I can't live up to the trust my boss has placed in me!"

Bi Sheng was still trying to win over me, but he saw Hu Chu pushing the door open and looking towards us.

I hurriedly walked over and said, "Here we go, finished smoking!"

The room was filled with smoke. When we started to work, a group of smokers did not open the windows. They were afraid that the wind would mess up the documents and make people unable to open their eyes. At this time, Hu Chu, who originally asked us to go outside to smoke, also started smoking. I woke up because I couldn’t sleep for a day and a night, and no one could bear it.

Bi Sheng followed us nervously the whole time. Even if Hu Chu asked him to go out, he would come in every few minutes, sometimes to deliver documents, and sometimes to ask for help. In the end, we didn't care about him.

Judging from the documents he brought in, the superficial work is indeed very good, the data is very good, the annual income is very high, and the return on investment is also very good. According to the data they provided, SDIC will not only make money A company that uses tricks is still a golden rice bowl that can lay golden eggs!
But Hu Chu and I both noticed a problem, that is, all their data is based on the premise that the money can be returned, but what about the money?Not a penny is in the account, it only takes a certain amount of time to get it back, and the expected value has no practical significance!
As the examination went deeper and deeper, Bi Sheng's face became increasingly ugly. What I was curious about was why Secretary Wang didn't tell him that I was here to cooperate with him!
Until the review came to an end, Bi Sheng couldn't sit still anymore and called Secretary Li.

As soon as the old man came in, he was choked by the cigarette smoke in the room and almost couldn't breathe. He ordered someone to turn on the air conditioner to ventilate the air. At the same time, he blamed us and said: "Even if you don't take care of your own body, you have to think about our comrades. They But I’ve been breathing your second-hand smoke!”

Hu Chu apologized with some embarrassment: "Secretary Li, I'm really sorry. I can't stand staying up late. I don't usually smoke in the office!"

Secretary Li hummed and said: "It's understandable! However, I would like to ask, what are the results of your review? There is only one day left before we have to publish the report. You can't wait until the last day to tell us the problem. , let me rectify it, we are too late!”

Hu Chu frowned and said: "The workload is too heavy, and we review it with caution. Otherwise, if there are any flaws in the data, it will be due to our negligence in our work. As you can see, we have never stopped!"

Secretary Li hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't object to your rigorous work, but you don't have to be so cautious. Our data are all collected from big data and obtained through rigorous investigations. I believe in the work attitude of our comrades." of!"

Hu Chu hummed and said, "That's natural! Before one o'clock in the afternoon, I will check the final data and then upload it. If there is no problem, just submit it!"

Bi Sheng couldn't see any fluctuation in Hu Chu's expression. It seemed that he didn't find anything. He looked at me curiously.

I ignored him and asked Hu Chu: "Do you still need me to check it again? If not, I will withdraw first. I have other things!"

Hu Chu shook his head and said: "You can't leave yet, I still have some questions to ask you!"

Secretary Li and Bi Sheng both looked at me and at Hu Chu at the same time, very puzzled. Why would he ask me questions?
Hu Chu didn't say anything, so they knew that he couldn't say it in front of them and asked them to avoid it.

After the two people walked out, Hu Chu hurriedly asked: "There is really no big problem with this account! I don't need your help at all?"

I curled my lips and said: "That's because you are not a real financial person. Of course you can't see it. If you, a layman, can see it, then their methods are too clumsy! Just wait for me to do this kind of thing Come and do it, just watch the show!"

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Secretary Li came in with a group of people in a hurry. What should Bi Sheng have said to him?
After coming in, Secretary Li was the first to ask, "How are you, Chu Hu? Have you finished the review? Are we going to issue a report here?"

Hu Chu looked at me and I replied: "The data is very nice, but I only have one question that can be answered. Let's end this review!"

Secretary Li looked at me disdainfully and said, "Mr. Chen, I know who you are, but it seems that it's not your turn to speak during our SDIC review!"

Hu Chu smiled and said: "Secretary Li, we invited Mr. Chen back to cooperate with the review. He is naturally qualified to speak. We need to hire some professionals for this large-scale financial review work!"

Bi Sheng said hurriedly: "What kind of professional is he? He didn't study finance!"

I chuckled and said: "Don't forget that I have also worked for various large listed companies. I may not know how to do accounting. I am better than anyone else in checking accounts! I just know that these data of yours are based on the same premise. This is what you call the recovery of funds, but where is the money now? Where is the money invested? In which bank? In which account? I didn’t see a penny, so I made such a beautiful data report. , isn’t this deception?”

Bi Sheng hurriedly explained: "Investment must have a payback cycle. Isn't this normal? If the money is not in the account, naturally the time has not come yet!"

I sneered: "You have invested tens of billions and received so many subsidies from the state. In the past five years, you have not seen a penny of benefits, but you have always claimed that you are the most profitable enterprise in domestic investment. You are really tough." You are trying to drive up the stock price! This is short selling!"
