In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 142 The evidence is conclusive
With a fund of HK$100 million, even if HK$10 million is used to buy land for the company and another HK$10 million is used as the company's reserve fund, there will still be HK$80 million left.

In other words, each of them can share a dividend of 40 million Hong Kong dollars.

Forty million, even for Lin Haoran, it is not a small amount.

Moreover, with the explosion in orders this month, it is obvious that the profits in July will be even greater.

For Lin Haoran, it is indeed a waste for the money to remain in the company's account for a long time.

The bulk of the company's expenses are the purchase of production materials, employee wages and transportation costs. As for rent and some other expenses, they are just small amounts for today's Aigo Company.

The transportation costs have actually already been imposed on the dealers, which has greatly increased the profits from exports to America.

As for production materials, with the current production scale of Aigo, many manufacturers in Hong Kong are willing to supply the goods first and recover the costs later.

Therefore, in fact, the operating cost pressure of Aigo is not as high as imagined.

As the production of Aimego Company increased, it also had the final say in negotiating the price of materials, which reduced costs slightly and further increased profits.

After chatting with Liu Luanxiong for a while, he hurried to do other things.

Although the company now has a lot more middle and senior management, Liu Luanxiong's workload has been greatly reduced. It doesn't really matter if he is away from the company for a few days.

However, the company expanded too fast, and he was not confident enough to leave many things to his subordinates, so he had to keep a close eye on them most of the time.

Lin Haoran first went to the finance department to learn about the latest situation, then walked around the floors of the building. After that, he also inspected the newly rented industrial building opposite.

Every floor of the two buildings is now in the busiest working state. June to September are definitely the months with the highest demand for fans, especially in July and August.

Nearly two hours had passed since the inspection.

There has been no call from Qingzhou Yingni Company, and it is obvious that they have not yet finished checking the accounts.

However, Lin Haoran had no plans to stay in Aigo Company. He couldn't help much here. He came here just to understand the situation here and get dividends from Aigo Company.

So, he took the two brothers Li Weiguo and Li Weidong back to Qingzhou Yingni Company.

Half an hour later, Lin Haoran had returned to the chairman's office of Qingzhou Yingni.

"Boss, the three of us checked these account books twice and didn't find any problems. If I have to find the most suspicious part, I think there are questions about the salary expenditure of Qingzhou Yingni Company. After comparing the payrolls for the past six months of this year, I think there were significant discrepancies in Qingzhou Yingni's last month. It's just that we don't have the personnel list of Qingzhou Yingni Company, and we don't know whether there are major employee changes, so we can't be sure." When the financial director of Wan'an Group saw Lin Haoran coming back, he reported his audit in detail.

Lin Haoran nodded and said, "Wait a moment, I'll ask the director of the Human Resources Department to bring up the company's employee change information for the past few months."

After that, he called the Human Resources office.

The director of the human resources department is currently a Chinese who was newly hired a few months ago. He is very loyal and it is impossible for him to be in cahoots with the financial director.

About ten minutes later, the director of human resources came up with the information.

"Boss, here are the personnel changes in the company in the past few months. It includes when they joined and when they left. It even includes their working hours each month." After handing the information to Lin Haoran, the director of the Human Resources Department explained respectfully.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You go back first. I will call you if there is anything." Lin Haoran replied with a smile.

There is definitely something wrong with CFO Maka. If he is not falsifying internal accounts, then he is accepting bribes from outside.

There are not many opportunities to accept bribes from outside, so Lin Haoran is more inclined to believe that he falsified the accounts from within.

After getting the personnel list, the three of them started to check it again.

"Boss, there is indeed a problem. I found that the salary of the grassroots employees of Qingzhou Yingni Company was slightly higher last month compared to May. Some were several dozen higher, and some were even more than a hundred higher.

Moreover, the total number of people who received wages was also incorrect. In June, the Xiangjiang plant of Qingzhou Yingni Company should have paid wages to 6 people, but actually paid wages to 1236 people.

62 of them had actually resigned in May or earlier, so they should not have received any salary in June. However, our financial salary expenditure included these people's salaries. According to preliminary calculations, the difference was about HK$5. "Half an hour later, the three of them had almost finished calculating the data.

The expenditure of HK$36 is obviously not very significant for Qingzhou Yingni Company. The various expenses of Qingzhou Yingni Company in a month exceed HK$ million.

The financial director obviously intended to cover up his crime by embezzling a small amount of money.

"Calculate it carefully again!" Lin Haoran said seriously.

We can't make a conclusion about this matter casually, we have to be sure of it.

More than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars is just a small sum of money for Lin Haoran, but for ordinary people, it is definitely a lot of money.

He absolutely would not allow such pests to exist in his company.

He embezzled more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars a month. If he continues to do this in the future, he will be able to embezzle several million Hong Kong dollars a year.

If this goes on for a long time, it will be sucking Lin Haoran's blood.

This matter is indeed not small.

Lin Haoran didn't know why the financial director was so bold, but since he did it, he would naturally receive the punishment he deserved.

If Lin Haoran had not identified that there was something wrong with him through his loyalty, it is possible that he would have never been discovered.

After all, Maca is the financial director of Qingzhou Yingni Company. He is in charge of the company's finances and has rich financial knowledge, which he is best at.

However, in order to ensure that the calculation was correct, Lin Haoran asked them to calculate it again.

With the previous ideas, they obviously calculated much faster. With the concerted efforts of the three, they calculated the result again after just over ten minutes.

"Boss, after our calculations, we confirmed that there is indeed a difference of more than 6. Obviously, there is a problem with the salary expenditure in June. We calculated it again in May and found no problem." The financial director of Wan'an Group handed the calculated result to Lin Haoran.

The welfare benefits of British-owned companies are considered very good in Hong Kong, and the salary payment date is always earlier than that of Chinese-owned companies.

For example, the monthly salary of Qingzhou Yingni Company will be paid on the fifth of the next month.

Many illegal processing factories would like to delay the payment of wages to the end of next month.

Moreover, in that era, as the banking system was not advanced enough, wages were basically paid in cash.

There is indeed a lot of room for maneuverability here.

Lin Haoran nodded. No wonder the financial director suddenly wanted to buy a house in Tsim Sha Tsui.

He got more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars in funds at once, which was enough for him to buy a house in Tsim Sha Tsui.

It’s no wonder that Burton didn’t know about this. If it weren’t for the careful calculation of the payroll and employee work time list, no one would have discovered this.

After all, various expenses of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars a month, such as raw material costs, market expansion costs, transportation costs, salaries for Filipino maids, etc., constitute the cost expenditure of the entire company. The difference of more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars is really not a big difference.

It is normal for a company's expenses to have highs or lows each month.

"Thank you for your hard work today. I will reimburse you for your travel expenses when I get back as a subsidy for you." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

For Lin Haoran, both companies are currently going through the privatization process. Both are his own companies and he can do whatever he wants with them.

"Thank you, boss. We'll go back first." The three of them left Qingzhou Yingni Company and went back to Wan'an Group.

Lin Haoran lay in the chair, looking at the data in front of him.

Now that it has been confirmed that there is indeed something wrong with the financial director, Mr. Maca, we naturally have to do what needs to be done.

Of course, he didn't need to go there in person.

He called Burton directly and asked him to come to the office.

Not long after, Burton came to Lin Haoran's office.

"Boss, do you have something to talk to me about?" Burton asked puzzledly, looking at the account books on the table.

Lin Haoran repeated what had just happened to Burton.

After listening, Burton also realized the seriousness of the matter.

With the specific data, it is actually very easy to check. Just by comparing the salaries of dozens of employees out of thin air, we can know the result.

The expenditure of empty salaries is a serious matter.

Burton became increasingly surprised at his boss.

Even he didn't know about this matter. How did the boss know that there was something wrong with the Financial Director Mr. Maka?

All the signs since Lin Haoran came here today showed that he came here specifically for the Financial Director, as if he already knew that there was something wrong with him.

However, although he was shocked by this matter, Burton naturally knew that these things were not appropriate to ask.

"Boss, leave this matter to me. I will handle it properly for you and tell you the result tomorrow." Burton said respectfully.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I believe you won't let me down. In addition, the position of financial director will be vacant for the time being. The company's financial affairs will be temporarily in the charge of the deputy director, and I will be responsible for selecting the new financial director." Lin Haoran continued.

The position of financial director is very important.

He already had a candidate in mind for the new financial director, but he didn’t know if he could invite him.

After Lin Haoran left, Burton also began his actions.

Corruption, misappropriation of public funds and falsification of accounts will not be tolerated no matter where they occur.

He embezzled more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and not only must the funds be recovered, but he must also spend several years in jail.

However, this is all the CFO's own fault.

That day, Burton collected evidence and called the police directly.

With irrefutable evidence, Maka was taken away directly by the police.

Next, the company’s lost funds will be recovered from Maca.

That evening, Lin Haoran received a call from Burton, who reported to him on the handling of the matter and the most likely punishment that Marca would receive next.

Lin Haoran was still very satisfied with Burton's efficiency.

However, at this moment he has a more important thing to do, which is to find Maca's successor.
