Chapter 424 Ouyang Jing surrenders
After the meeting, Li Dakang and Ouyang Jing went through the divorce procedures at their home.
After getting the divorce certificate, Li Dakang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had to worry about becoming a naked official. Of course, given his current situation, he had no chance of becoming the provincial governor.
It is impossible for the government to allow an ex-wife and daughter to go abroad, and it is impossible for someone who has no close relatives in the country to serve as the head of a province.
"Li Dakang, the thing I regret most in my life is marrying you. There is no happiness but only pain when being with you. You are an emotionless official-crazy person." After saying that, Ouyang Jing pushed the door and left without waiting for Li Dakang to speak.
"Don't I have any feelings?" Li Dakang murmured to himself.
……
The next day, the Handong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government officially issued an announcement on the issue of bank loan rebates.
Once the announcement was made, it was like a bombshell dropped into a calm lake, instantly causing an uproar.
After seeing this announcement, many bank practitioners were stunned and became uneasy, especially the bank management.
It was under such circumstances that Ouyang Jing came to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate accompanied by Wang Dalu.
The person who met her was Zhong Xiaoai.
When Zhong Xiaoai heard that Ouyang Jing came to pay the funds for illegal activities, she was also very excited. She finally saw hope for solving the case.
After Ouyang Jing paid the funds involved in illegal activities, he began to confess the problems.
As Ouyang Jing continued to narrate, Zhong Xiaoai became more and more excited, simply because she got the information she wanted.
"You just said that the money you loaned out came from Handong Oil and Gas Group?" Zhong Xiaoai's voice trembled slightly with excitement.
Handong Oil and Gas Group is one of the Fortune Global 500 companies and one of the most important provincial state-owned enterprises in Handong. Its CEO is Liu Xinjian, the former secretary of Zhao Lichun.
Ouyang Jing nodded gently and began to explain in detail: "Yes, part of the funds did come from Handong Oil and Gas Group.
Their company has had a huge amount of funds of over 1 billion yuan on its books for a long time. If it had just kept the funds in its own account, the interest it could have earned would have been very limited.
So some people came up with the idea of using this money to lend it to companies in urgent need of cash through our Jingzhou City Bank.
In our industry, this practice is often referred to as 'bridge funding'.
With this operation method, Handong Oil and Gas Group has earned 700 to 800 million yuan in interest income in recent years.”
Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai suppressed her excitement and asked, "Do you know where the interest goes?"
She stared at Ouyang Jing closely, not missing any slight change in expression on her face.
Ouyang Jing did not directly state the result, but elaborated on the operation mode here: "Since Handong Oil and Gas Group is a state-owned enterprise, it cannot directly participate in the lending business.
Usually, Handong Oil and Gas Group deposits the money into our bank, and our bank will lend it to Shanshui Group at the lowest interest rate within the prescribed range.
There is one advantage to doing this: on the surface, there is no violation of any regulations by Handong Oil and Gas Group and our bank.
Handong Oil and Gas Group normally receives interest from the bank, and our bank normally receives interest from Shanshui Group.
These are just the situations on the books. Handong Group has normal deposits and our bank makes normal loans, but the real situation is that Shanshui Group uses this money to lend to some companies at high interest rates, such as Cai Chenggong's Dafeng Factory.
The interest on this money will eventually be shared by the participants. Our bank can get a rebate of about 1%, and then dividends will be distributed according to the level of position.
The majority of the profits were divided up by Shanshui Group. I don’t know how they divided it specifically, but I know Liu Xinjian must have participated in the dividend distribution.”
Although she failed to get the specific dividend list, Zhong Xiaoai was already very satisfied with Liu Xinjian.
"Ouyang Jing, you have taken the initiative to surrender the illegal funds and truthfully confessed the relevant circumstances. This positive attitude is in full compliance with the spirit of the regulations in our announcement.
Therefore, according to relevant laws and regulations, you will be given the opportunity to receive a lighter punishment or even be exempted from punishment. As for your final punishment result, I will inform you in time after I report to my superiors. "Zhong Xiaoai said to Ouyang Jing with a smile.
Hearing this, Ouyang Jing nodded with relief: "I understand."
After explaining all the problems thoroughly, she felt that the huge rock pressing on her heart had finally fallen, and she felt much more relaxed.
Lu Yike on the side reminded him, "However, during this period of time, you cannot leave Jingzhou for the time being."
Seeing that Ouyang Jing was a little confused, she continued to explain: "Because the case is still under further investigation, you need to be ready at any time to accept our questions and fully cooperate with the investigation."
"Okay, I understand." Ouyang Jing nodded and agreed. Then she said goodbye and left.
Looking at Ouyang Jing's departing back, Zhong Xiaoai and Lu Yike looked at each other and smiled excitedly. Then they went directly to Ji Changming's office and reported to him the content of their conversation with Ouyang Jing.
After listening to Zhong Xiaoai's narration, Ji Changming frowned slightly and began to fall into deep thought.
His brain began to work at high speed, quickly analyzing the current situation and various possible situations.
Lu Tao was transferred and Zhong Xiaoai was parachuted into Handong, which meant that Ding Yizhen's case was not over.
Zhong Xiaoai's purpose was very clear. He stared at Shanshui Group and saw its attitude of not giving up until it achieved its goal. He knew that it was aimed at the Zhao family.
The situation of Zhao Lichun's two direct subordinates, Qian Huimin and Li Dakang, is not optimistic.
The deputy mayor under Li Dakang fled, and not long after the "116 Incident" at Dafeng Factory, Qian Huimin and the Zhao family became more deeply involved.
Now Li Dakang’s ex-wife has voluntarily handed over the proceeds of her violations of discipline and law, and has also confessed the identity of Zhao Lichun’s former secretary Liu Xinjian.
Is this Li Dakang's plan? Is it a powerful attack against the "Qian Clan"? Or is there some other unknown secret behind it?
Countless questions swirled in Ji Changming's mind, making him confused, but he knew one thing, that is, whatever Qi Tongwei said was what he should do and he should follow his pace.
"Ouyang Jing's identity is sensitive and needs to be treated with caution. You two come with me to report to Secretary Qi." Ji Changming did not give any instructions or suggestions and chose to go directly to Qi Tongwei.
Zhong Xiaoai and Lu Yi looked at each other and couldn't help but mutter to themselves: Old fox.
Ji Changming then called the provincial party committee secretariat and met with several people an hour later after receiving Qi Tongwei's instructions.
Qi Tongwei can be said to be quite familiar with the case in Handong. Although he and Gao Yuliang were replaced by Hou Liangping and Qian Huimin, and there was one more person, Zhao Xiaohui, the core things are still the same, with almost no changes.
He also knew who was suspected of corruption, but he just couldn't say it directly.
Therefore, when Ji Changming reported to him that Liu Xinjian was involved, he did not feel excited at all. Of course, on the surface he still encouraged and praised Zhong Xiaoai and others.
Before Qi Tongwei could express his opinion, Zhong Xiaoai asked anxiously, "Secretary Qi, can we summon Liu Xinjian directly?"
Qi Tongwei waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry, first collect more evidence secretly. This matter involves too much, we must strike at once, and Ouyang Jing's confession alone is not enough to detain Liu Xinjian."
"This……"
Zhong Xiaoai wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Qi Tongwei, "Now that we know that Shanshui Group and Handong Oil and Gas Group are directly involved, the problem will be much easier to solve.
Cai Chenggong should know a lot, and you can learn some ideas from him.
In addition, we have found Ding Yizhen's whereabouts, he is in San Francisco. As long as we bring him back, all the problems will be solved."
"Yes, Secretary Qi. Then what should we do with Ouyang Jing?" Ji Changming quickly agreed.
"Ouyang Jing? Li Dakang's ex-wife!" Qi Tongwei was silent for a moment, then said, "In order to encourage more people to come forward, your procuratorate should not prosecute her, and then let the Discipline Inspection Commission handle the matter."
