Chapter 1624 The mastermind behind the scenes (first update, please subscribe)
Just a rich second generation!

This is not just Zhu Xianhai's evaluation of Wang Songping, but also the evaluation of him by many people.

In the past, Wang Songping had always been a regular customer of Ming Dynasty newspapers and magazines, but most of them were gossip news.

But this time, Wang Songping made headlines in newspapers and magazines and became a news figure because he misappropriated public funds to speculate in stocks, causing the company to lose a huge 20 billion yuan.

20 billion!
This is absolutely an astronomical figure, even far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. However, in this stock market crash, some large companies suffered such heavy losses, which made the people of the empire feel a little better. After all, it is human nature to gloat over misfortunes. Everyone They all like to eat melons.

Of course, this directly caused the stock price of the umbrella company to fall, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among investors. After all, there were many people investing in umbrella companies.

Because the stock market crash caused heavy losses to many investors, some investors even went to the Imperial Council to ask the Council to investigate the stock market crash.On one side are the people who suffered heavy losses due to the stock market crash, but what about the other side?

It was a high-ranking imperial politician who showed no reaction at all.

As usual, many people from all over the world gathered in front of the grand Imperial Council. When people stood in front of this majestic oriental-style palace building like a palace, an old man stood by an office window in the building. He was staring at the people in front of the steps, his brows furrowed.

"Wang Songping, what a fool!"

In the spacious counselor's office, when the old man's words rang out, although his tone seemed calm, Li Zhijian standing aside did not dare to speak at all.

"Misappropriation of public funds! How dare he..."

The old man snorted and then said.

"Doesn't he know that this year is the year when the Advisory Council changes its boundaries? It costs money, 20 billion. How can we fill such a huge shortfall? If there is no money..."

The old man snorted, then frowned even more.

For many years, he has been cooperating with the Umbrella Company. He has helped those people solve a lot of troubles and brought a lot of benefits to the company, and accordingly he also got his own reward-a lot of money.

However, he has never valued money, because in his view, money is just a tool for him to pursue power. He has his own goals and aspirations.But if you want to realize that dream, you cannot do without money.

"President, for this change, we need about 12 billion to maintain the current seats. Local governments also need to spend money. There is a huge gap in this money right now."

Li Zhijian thought for a while and said.

"The Umbrella Company's deficit is so huge this time, it will not only attract the attention of the outside world, but it will definitely not be able to provide funds as in the past. I think we should make plans early and make some preparations in advance."

Director Li's words made the old man fall into silence. He knew very well what would happen if the funds were insufficient.

"Director Li, when I was 20 years old, I graduated from Nanhua University School of Law and became a district prosecutor. I was the youngest prosecutor in the entire Ming Dynasty. From the District Prosecutor's Office, to the Gyeonggi Prosecutor's Office, to the Imperial High Prosecutor's Office, I It took 20 years. In 20 years, I sent 36 counselors, 179 counselors, and 7 chaebols to prison. As for officials, I can’t even remember how many there were. At that time, I Known as the "Wolf of the Imperial Prosecutor's Office"..."

The old man adjusted his glasses, seeming to be recalling his past and the glory of the past.

Then he said again.

"I have dealt with many people over the years. You know, what is the biggest gain?"

"Please tell me sir."

Li Zhijian bowed slightly. "It's very simple. Even if it's just a stone, if you squeeze it, it'll still be oily!"

After saying these words, the old man walked to the window again, pointed out the window and said.

"Look at how overwhelming the public opinion is outside the window. As a counselor, if I can't advocate for the people, how can I be worthy of the people? The people elect us as counselors to let us speak for them..."

After that, he turned to Li Zhijian and said.

"In this stock market crash, some companies squandered funds wantonly, there were speculators, malicious short sellers, and there were also chaebol giants who profited from it, causing heavy losses to the people in the market, and even personal pensions were in the red. If this matter cannot be investigated strictly, How can I live up to the people?"

Looking at the upright CEO, Li Zhijian was a little confused, not sure what he wanted to do. Suddenly, he said as if he had understood.

"What the president said is true, we must advocate for the people!"

What is advocacy for the people!
It’s just an excuse to squeeze out rocks. Even rocks can squeeze out a few drops of oil. How many of these companies are clean?
As long as you search carefully, you will definitely be able to find something. What are those things?
It can be evidence of crime, or it can be money!

In order to avoid going to jail or to continue to enjoy the wealth they have embezzled, those people are definitely willing to use money to settle matters. In this way, they can solve their urgent financial problem.

Of course, this was all done quietly in private.

"President, to handle this matter successfully, a capable prosecutor must come forward."

Li Zhijian thought for a while and then said.

"Guo, Deputy Director of the Southern Branch of the Gyeonggi Procuratorate..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old man shook his head and said.

"That guy is a veteran. Although he is one of ours, there are some things he doesn't know how to do. Moreover, he has no room for improvement. We need young people to take on the important responsibilities."

It seems that the old man has been prepared for all this. In fact, having worked in the prosecutorial system for more than 20 years, he has an extremely deep relationship network in that high-power area. Even now, he takes on many tasks every year. juniors.Those descendants who receive his favor will surely be used by him.

"Isn't it too risky to use young people for such a big thing?"

Although Li Zhijian absolutely obeyed most of the time, the president's decision now made him a little worried.

"Young people are also hungry for power and status. All they need is an opportunity, and they are easier to control than the elderly. Besides, we need our own inspector general."

After saying that, the old man seemed to have remembered something.

"This time is an opportunity. If we can seize the opportunity, maybe in the next few years, our dream will come true..."

After that, the old man stopped talking. After thinking for a moment, he said again.

"If this matter is done well, it will not only solve our funding problem, but also solve those guys in the Senate, humph, those guys who were born with a golden spoon..."
