Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.
As chairman of a listed company, there is a risk of being called in for questioning, if only because of this, Yuji Qi is not so alarmed.
Things must be more serious than imagined.
The first thing you need to do is to ask your sister, Xingchen Qi, to comfort her, and to ask for leave. The exposure of the trumpet gave Red Sun a wave of heat, director Zheng was happy, and immediately promised: "You can leave at will, as long as you can come back within half a month, I will shoot the supporting roles and the main actress' scenes first."
But the prophecy came true, this time, Xingchen Qi really went away for a whole half month.
The situation at home was so urgent that he couldn't pack his things and left for the airport in a hurry. By the time he arrived home, it was almost dawn, and the large living room was empty, with only Yuji Qi nestled in a corner of the sofa with a shawl. His eyes were closed, but his eyebrows were knitted together, and his expression was very restless even when he was asleep.
Xingchen Qi took off his jacket, and gently draped it over his sister. I just took out my cell phone to contact my elder brother, when my arm was held by a cold hand.
"Star, you're back, why didn't you call your sister."
Xingchen Qi took her hand in his, "I just arrived, you've been waiting here all night?"
"Well," Yuji Qi sat up, fixing his loose hair, "I can't sleep until you and big brother come back."
Big Brother ...... Xingchen Qi frowned, "Big brother was also called away?"
"No, he went to inquire about Dad's side of the story. In fact, if it weren't for the delay in hearing back from big brother, I wouldn't be able to toss you back."
Yuji Qi has a little bit of exposure to the company's business, but does not understand the upper level. Without the two pillars of the family, she had to call her brother back so that she wouldn't be left without a backbone.
Seeing that my sister looks bad, Xingchen Qi patted her back and got up to receive a cup of hot water, "Don't say that, I am also a Qi family, tell me about Dad's situation."
Yuji Qi took the water, holding it in his hand, "a few days ago, some investors and the Securities and Exchange Commission reaction Qi malicious long and short, release false news, our family heard the letter immediately after the preparation of information to respond to the inspection. Which know the Securities and Exchange Commission came, did not check at all, directly to Dad took away ...... Together with the Ministry of Public Security law enforcement officers who came along."
Public Security Department ......
Has a case been filed?
Shorting is the act of a stock holder who expects the market to fall in the future, sells the stocks he now holds in his hands, and then buys them after the market has fallen, earning a profit from the difference in price. Malicious shorting generally refers to the manipulation of the market by fabricating and disseminating false information to expand bearish expectations.
The only difference between shorting and malicious shorting is the word "malicious", and whether it constitutes malicious shorting requires a determination of the shorters' purpose.
But how to determine the purpose of the short-seller? There is evidence that can be judged, and in the case where no evidence can be found for anything, it only depends on what the investigators think.
Xingchen Qi asked again, "What time was Dad taken away?"
"Last night at five o'clock, near the end of the day." Almost twelve hours have passed since then.
Generally go through a questioning, an hour or two can be released, Qi Laozi froze was locked up for a whole night, apparently the other side has considered Qi suspected of malicious shorting.
Xingchen Qi heart immediately seized up - Qi old man is already old, since the fire nerve weakness is very strong, always sleep poorly at night, not to mention in the cold questioning room, that must be how uncomfortable?
No wonder Yunxiao Qi went out overnight to find out the news.
With Yunxiao Qi's ability, it is not a problem to ask about the situation on the SFC side, Xingchen Qi helped Yuji Qi: "Sister, you go back to your room to sleep for a while, I will contact the Public Security Bureau to understand the current situation."
Yuji Qi shook his head: "I can't sleep until Dad comes back."
"If Dad has nothing to do, but made you sick, the loss is not worth the gain."
"It's okay," Yuji Qi stepped aside, "you contact the Public Security Bureau, I'll contact my friends at the SZSE to try."
Since this was the case, Xingchen Qi did not force her to rest and the two of them split up to make phone calls. Strangely enough, however, Director Jiang, who had been answering his calls in seconds, was having trouble getting through on her cell phone.
Dialed a few more times, but still can't get through.
Maybe it's too early to be sleeping, Xingchen Qi rubbed Solar Plexus.
.
Like Xingchen Qi, Yuji Qi's phone was also switched off. Without any information, the two of them could only go back to the sofa and sit there, anxiously waiting for news from their big brother.
At 10:00 am, Yunxiao Qi finally came back. Xingchen Qi and Yuji Qi looked behind him in unison -
There is no Qi Laozi.
"Brother," Xingchen Qi's heart sank, "Dad is still locked up?"
"Stars, why are you back," Yunxiao Qi's face was slightly tired, "Did Yu Ji ask you to come back?"
"Luckily my sister told me, either I don't know it yet ...... Brother, what's the situation on Dad's side?"
"It's hard to say," Yunxiao Qi took off his suit and took a deep breath, "I said I wanted to go in to see Dad, but the staff in charge of the contact kept finding all kinds of reasons to keep me out. When I tried to ask what was going on, the other party kept finding excuses, and I didn't see Dad until I got back."
As the industry leader and the largest enterprise in H Province, every year Qi's Group has to support a lot of manpower and material resources for the construction of H Province, and also donated money to build several schools, and there are buildings named after Qi's in the airport, square, etc. in H City now. It can be said that over the years, Qi's and the local authorities have maintained good relations, if there is a need to help, as long as they do not break the law, the authorities are willing to lend a helping hand.
But now, but even want to look at Qi Laozi can not do, really bizarre and inexplicable.
Yuji Qi pale at the words, Xingchen Qi thought for a moment and stood up with a bang.
Seeing his movements, Yuji Qi asked, "Stars, where are you going?"
"There is something fishy inside this matter, I will go to the Public Security Bureau."
He was going to ask the director's uncle and find Changlin Xu in a hurry. The two events happened very close to each other, so maybe they are related.
Yunxiao Qi, however, said, "Don't go out yet."
Xingchen Qi's feet stopped.
"The photos of Dad being taken away have gone out, and since last night there have been people speculating in the media and public platforms about Qi's Group being investigated. When I came back just now, I was followed by a large number of reporters, who should still be guarding outside now, so you can wait before you go."
Xingchen Qi can only stop for now, while calling Director Jiang and observing the trend on TV, Weibo, Zhihu, headlines and other media and public platforms. As Yunxiao Qi said, photos of Qi's father being taken away are now flying around, and some people are already badmouthing Qi, posting comments like "Qi is going to be finished".
Even some of the big financial bloggers and respondents have begun to express their disapproval of Qi's Group's current status.
Being in the entertainment industry, Xingchen Qi could see at a glance that there were traces of water forces involved, either it was not possible to make this matter known to everyone in just one night.
Unfortunately, they can't do anything about it now, because they can't guess who is buying the water army.
After so many years of fighting in the market, the Qi family has made countless enemies. The opportunity to bring down the Qi family is right in front of us, the wall is falling down, the stakeholders who do not want to come to share a piece of the pie?
Trying to find the one that initially instigated from so many people is akin to a pipe dream.
Xingchen Qi rubbed his dry eyes, "I asked Anran to find the media to shut up, and then inquire to find out which company has recently taken over the hype business."
"No, I've tried all of these," Yunxiao Qi said lightly, "the media does not charge hush money, the hype of the company to find out, but the promotion has been done, can not be recovered."
Yuji Qi headache: "What is the purpose of these things they do? We Qi family to sit upright, did not do something illegal is not done, wait for Dad to investigate after the truth is revealed, is not a waste of effort?"
"It's not a waste of effort," Yunxiao Qi said, "Qi's Group stock dropped six points at the opening bell this morning and is still falling, so I guess it won't take until the noon close to reach a halt."
At the words Xingchen Qi and Yuji Qi were silent for a moment, neither of them said anything.
They have a hunch that this time the robbery may not be so good.
.
In the afternoon, after half of the reporters had left the door, Xingchen Qi slipped into the garage and chose the most discreet car, turning left and right for more than an hour before shaking off the flies following him and arriving at City Bureau.
Stepping into the door of the director's office, Jiang Bureau froze, "Xingchen, aren't you in the field?"
The last time we met, the other party enthusiastically called him "big nephew", but now it has become "Xingchen", Xingchen Qi immediately understood the reason why the phone could not be connected - not The reason for this is not sleep nor signal, but to see the Qi family is now in a bad situation, afraid to fold their own head, choose to stay away from the Qi family to save their lives.
Xingchen Qi could not help but sneer, but only a silent laugh, and then returned to a normal expression, and sat himself down opposite Director Jiang.
"Star, you-"
"Don't be afraid, I won't ask for news about my father," Xingchen Qi said, "I know it's not convenient to say, we are uncles and nephews, I won't give you a hard time. I came here today to ask Changlin Xu, have you found him for me?"
"Aigoo," Director Jiang slapped his head, "look at my brain, too busy last night to forget, I'll think of a way for you later."
Xingchen Qi knew that if it was not finalized now, "later" might have to wait until the next life. He immediately sank his face, "Uncle, this little favor you are not willing to help?"
Seeing his sudden flip-flop, Director Jiang's expression froze and his heart began to mutter.
--This kid doesn't know what's going on at home, and he dares to turn the other cheek?
--Hardly ...... The Qi family is sure that they can get Qi Laozi back?
Seeing his eyes slipping and turning, Xingchen Qi knew his trick had worked, and his tone eased down, "Uncle, I said I wouldn't make things difficult for you, as long as you find an excuse to call him to the police station on the line, when I will pretend to meet by chance, never implicate you."
"So... ......"
Director Jiang gritted his teeth and finally decided to go along with the slope, "Then I'll help you once more, you can go out and don't talk nonsense."
"I know, it's not good for me to talk nonsense." Xingchen Qi said.
The issue was agreed upon, and Xingchen Qi was not too much of an eyesore, so he hurriedly found an excuse to leave. On the way home, he looked at the market, Yunxiao Qi was right, Qi's Group has really become a straight line.
And is more than 300,000 lots of sealed orders pressed, it is estimated that tomorrow as usual can not get up.
But as long as there is an attractive low price, there will always be people who will buy. Down for a period of time, institutions and retail investors feel the psychological price level, will enter the bottom. After understanding some financial knowledge, he was not particularly worried about Qijia's stock.
Which knows, this time he completely thought wrong.
That night, the news that Qi's Group produced substandard product quality, several branches suspected of false bidding, and falsified financial reports suddenly spread all over the Internet overnight.
.
When you walk by the river, there are times when you don't get your shoes wet. Qi's Group has been operating for so many years, there will always be which part of the mistake, resulting in product quality is not up to standard, there will also be inevitably financial report omissions, mistakes. For these problems, Qi's after the incident has been rectified as soon as possible, but now put forward, true and false news mixed together, it is inevitable that the majority of investors will be suspicious.
In addition to the absence of the Qi master, even if the Qi family official response to "the incident is under investigation, due to the large volume of the company, the need to spend more time", but also caused panic among investors.
Investors' panic increased the bearish side of the market, and the bearish side of the market expanded investors' panic, and in a vicious circle, investors sold off a lot and Qi's Group shares continued to fall.
What's even more frightening is that after Yunxiao Qi finally paid for all the negative news to be sealed, the tax authorities suddenly received an anonymous report.
The tax issue was a big one, and the Tax Bureau drove a car to Qi's Group's doorstep the moment they received the report. The chairman had already been taken away by the CBRC to cooperate with the investigation, so they took away Yunxiao Qi, another person in charge of the Qi family.
The tax authority's big scene is impossible to keep people's attention, faster than Xiaoming Qi, almost the same time, Yunxiao Qi was taken away graphic on the headlines of various financial news.
Business empires take a long time to build, but collapse in just one season.
