Chapter 288: What Does It Have to Do with Me?
“No,” Jiang Tong denied Wu Rong’s words and said in a relaxed tone, “Director Wu, the person I want to mess with isn’t you, but Shao Ying. You’ll at most be implicated… However, I believe that with your means and connections, you should be able to save yourself and get out of danger, Director Wu. You just have to pay a price.”
“Why are you talking about Shao Ying again?” Wu Rong still couldn’t find Jiang Tong’s logical point. She frowned and asked, “No matter what happens between you and Shao Ying, I won’t be implicated, right? What does it have to do with me?” She really couldn’t figure it out at all. Not to mention whether Jiang Tong had the ability to go against Shao Ying. Even if she had the ability to go against Shao Ying, under such circumstances, Wu Rong couldn’t think of how it would be related to her.
The traditional industries were rarely touched by the big families. It was nothing more than the fact that money came slowly and needed to be accumulated over the years. To develop slowly, the big families didn’t need to waste that effort. They just casually engaged in real estate, played finance, or made a name for themselves in the technological industries such as cars and mobile phones. The speed of making money was unimaginable. So not only did Wu Rong not have a direct relationship with Shao Ying, she didn’t even have an indirect relationship! She had only heard some things about Shao Ying!
“You know Huo Lixin, the major shareholder of the Dongfeng Fund, right?” Jiang Tong asked Wu Rong directly.
“Of course, I’ve known Huo Lixin for more than ten years,” Wu Rong said as she looked at Jiang Tong.
“Then you should know that Huo Lixin is the second largest shareholder of the Beichen Fund,” Jiang Tong smiled. Wu Rong was silent for a while before asking, “So what?”
“The Beichen Fund’s major shareholder is Gou Xun,” replied Jiang Tong. Wu Rong nodded and asked, “Yes, and then?”
“Who is Gou Xun? Do you need me to tell you in detail?” Jiang Tong smiled after she finished speaking.
Wu Rong thought for a while. Then, she looked at Jiang Tong and said, “Gou Xun’s sister is Shao Fengshan’s wife, so Shao Fengshan is Gou Xun’s brother-in-law. But so what? What does it have to do with me?”
Shao Fengshan, also known as Third Master Shao. He was forty-nine years old this year. He was one of the core figures of the Shao family’s second generation, the third son of the Shao family’s old master, and the third uncle of Shao Ying! In the financial circle, Shao Fengshan was very famous. The funds under his control, not counting those that had not been established, had a capital totaling more than 100 billion dollars!
“The actual controller of the Beichen Fund is Shao Fengshan. His brother-in-law, Gou Xun, is just his representative, or rather, his money launderer,” Jiang Tong said with a smile.
Wu Rong raised her eyebrows. She did not know much about these things, and it had nothing to do with her. However, she knew that Gou Xun was Shao Fengshan’s brother-in-law and one of the Shao family’s external staff. Therefore, what Jiang Tong said was reasonable and highly likely. The Beichen Fund was a large fund and had invested a lot in the Shao family’s businesses. It would be unreasonable if the actual controller was the major shareholder, Gou Xun. Without the Shao family, Gou Xun would not have been able to make such a big deal!
“Yes, even if what you said is right, so what?” Wu Rong asked again. She was losing her patience. The smile on her face was just a habit. She had started to frown.
“Huo Lixin and Gou Xun have a close relationship. Do you think that Huo Lixin’s relationship with the Shao family should be good as well?” Jiang Tong asked with a smile. Wu Rong did not answer because she knew that Huo Lixin’s relationship with the Shao family was not just good. Huo Lixin had close cooperation with the Shao family, and the Beichen Fund was one of them. The actual controller was Shao Fengshan, while Huo Lixin was the second shareholder! To put it bluntly, Huo Lixin and the Shao family were in direct contact. Any big move made by the Beichen Fund should be discussed directly between Huo Lixin and Shao Fengshan. As an agent, Gou Xun did not have as much say as Huo Lixin.
“Miss Jiang, can you just be direct? I’m getting confused by you,” Wu Rong said as she thought about it. She looked a little reproachful and her expression was very attractive. She didn’t do it on purpose. She did it subconsciously. She was already used to it.
“If something were to happen to Huo Lixin, such as financial problems, online loans, illegal fundraising, and so on, then Director Wu, do you think the Dongfeng Fund that you and Huo Lixin co-funded will have no problems?” Jiang Tong asked Wu Rong.
“… Of course it will.” Wu Rong was silent for a moment. Not only did she not deny it, but she admitted it. There was nothing to deny. Not many people who played with funds were clean. There were all kinds of gray areas and legal operations. Once something happened, it would immediately explode.
