The sun is shining outside and the temperature is neither cold nor hot. This is the best time of the year.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Guan Yuntian was rarely so free. He was holding a glass of water and looking out the window at the blue sky and white clouds. At this time, the phone on his desk rang. He walked over and picked it up, "Hello, Mr. Guan! I

It’s Lao Zhu from the Petrochemical Branch.”

"Hello, Manager Zhu, are you okay?"

"People from the County Public Security Bureau came here to look for you just now. They just left and may have gone to the group headquarters now."

Upon hearing that the Public Security Bureau was looking for him, Guan Yuntian was startled and immediately asked calmly: "Do you know why they are looking for me?"

"This----, I didn't ask, and they didn't say anything. When they saw you weren't here, they left without saying a word."

"Oh, it's okay, I understand, just go ahead and do your business."

Putting down the phone, Guan Yuntian returned to the chair and sat down. He thought sadly that he had been in society for more than ten years and had never dealt with the public security bureau. They came to visit him. What happened?

Guan Yuntian believes that he has always respected laws and regulations. Looking back on his various experiences in recent years, he has not found any behavior that violates laws and disciplines or disrupts society.

As for dealing with each other, I had a dispute with that gangster Shi Yuanqiang more than half a year ago, but in the end the matter was settled in a civilized way through a wrestling match. The two parties neither got into a fight nor caused any negative social impact. Even if the news spread, it would not be considered a big deal.

Will it affect social security?

Furthermore, some time ago, in order to apply for project support in three functional departments, I invited relevant personnel to have dinner and drinks, and also gave some activity funds, but the amount was not large. According to the policy, it was not enough to break the law!

While Guan Yuntian was thinking wildly, he heard a knock on the door outside, "Please come in!" Guan Yuntian shouted in response.

The door opened, and three uniformed police officers came in. They first identified themselves, "Hello, are you Mr. Guan Yuntian? We are case investigators from the Economic Investigation Brigade of the County Public Security Bureau." As they spoke, the three of them said.

Take out your ID.

"Yes, I am Guan Yuntian, please sit down." Guan Yuntian asked the other party to sit down on the sofa next to the coffee table, and made a cup of tea for everyone, "Can you please find me----?"

"That's right, we are investigating a smuggling case, and there are some things that require your cooperation." said the leading police officer handling the case.

"Should I cooperate in the smuggling case?" An ominous omen flashed through Guan Yuntian's mind.

"Yes, Han Defa, formerly of Defa Refinery, is suspected of smuggling refined oil. We are investigating this case."

"Oh! Han Defa is suspected of smuggling refined oil?" Guan Yuntian sat on the chair and felt a chill behind his back.

"Mr. Guan, we have some questions that we need to verify with you. Please answer them truthfully."

"No problem, I will tell you everything you need to know." Guan Yuntian stood up and added some tea to the cups of the three policemen.

"Has Han Defa ever been the chairman of Defa Refining Company? You were the general manager at that time, right?"

"Yes, but that was in the early days of Defat Refining Company."

"Han Defa will smuggle refined oil products during his tenure. As members of the board of directors, how do you cooperate with his work?"

"Police officers, I have to explain this matter. The original Defa Refining Company is a joint-stock enterprise. According to the articles of association, we belong to the general manager responsibility system under the leadership of the board of directors. Although Han Defa is the chairman, after the board of directors makes a collective decision,

, the business management is my responsibility

Responsibility, as the general manager, I only implement the resolutions of the board of directors, Lao Han has no right to issue orders to my business management." Guan Yuntian said.

"In other words, Han Defa will not participate in the company's operation and management?"

"Even in the board of directors, several of us shareholders can unite and veto unreasonable suggestions from Chairman Han Defa at any time. He has no right to interfere with the company's operation and management."

"Has Han Defa's idea of ​​smuggling refined oil been mentioned in the board of directors?" another police officer asked.

"I mentioned it, but I firmly opposed it at the time because I knew it was illegal. To be precise, Lao Han did not propose the idea at the board of directors at first. He first told me in private that he wanted Defa Company to do it.

In that matter, he said that the business made money quickly. I told him at that time that operating refined oil products without formal procedures was smuggling. When he saw that I was not cooperating, he called the board members to vote. As a result, other shareholders abstained. I objected, but he agreed.

, because the Defa Refinery he represented held 45% of the equity, and we only held 40% at the time, so Lao Han's proposal was passed with a slight advantage." Guan Yuntian recalled.

"Then you followed the board's decision?"

"No. Although the board of directors approved Lao Han's suggestion, I have to do everything possible to stop him. I can't ruin the entire Defa Refining Company by letting the company participate in smuggling. Besides, I have a company much larger than Defa Company.

Changda Group Company, if I get involved with smuggling crimes, it will be equivalent to putting such a large Changda Group in danger, and I will never be so stupid."

"Did you know from the beginning that this behavior was a smuggling crime?" the police officer asked.

"Of course I know. First of all, as a college graduate in the early 1990s, I have this common sense. In addition, three or four years before this incident, our Changda Company used to do the business of importing natural rubber. I am very concerned about the government's

I have a good understanding of import and export policies and regulations, and I will not get involved in a business without formal procedures, no matter how profitable it is."

"Mr. Guan, according to you, when Han Defa had that idea, did you ever dissuade him?"

"I not only tried to persuade him, but also explained the stakes clearly to him, but he turned a deaf ear and couldn't listen to a word. I can confront him about this. To be honest, I have to talk about this matter.

Is there anything I did wrong? I think there is, that is, I didn’t choose to call the police at the time. However, a person said he was going to commit a crime and he hadn’t actually committed it. If I called the police, I’m afraid the law enforcement agencies would also laugh at my nerves.

Allergy, what do you think?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with your logic. What happens next?"

"Subsequently, I thought that Lao Han was an unrighteous person. He did not focus on the normal operation and management of the company, but spent all his time thinking about crooked things. If you partner with such a person, he will lead you into a ditch sooner or later.

So, I tried to find a way to consciously cut off from him in order to keep him away from the company."

"To be specific, how did you cut him off?"

"Is it necessary to elaborate on this?"

"Mr. Guan, on the one hand, these details are helpful for us to understand the case. On the other hand, they are also crucial for clarifying the relationship between you and Lao Han."

Guan Yuntian briefly explained the process of Lao Han registering a new company abroad and exchanging equity for funds due to lack of capital. "That's what happened. The original Defa Refining Company became a holding company under the Changda Group. Han Defa

We no longer have anything to do with our branch."

"Mr. Guan, although this has nothing to do with you, we still want to know what happened when Han Defa registered a new company.

Do you know his purpose of exchanging capital with you for equity?"

"I know a little bit, but I can't control what he wants to do."

"We understand this. Mr. Guan, can you give us a copy of the minutes of your earliest board meeting involving this matter, the equity transfer agreement between you and Lao Han and other documents? We will take it back as evidence."

"Yes, I can also copy it to you, as well as Lao Han's just letter of transfer of all shares to Changda Group and complete withdrawal from the oil refining company."

Guan Yuntian immediately ordered the staff in the company's office to find the relevant documents, make copies and give them to the police handling the case. Before leaving, the case handling officer told Guan Yuntian not to go out far in the near future. Depending on the progress of the case, he might be asked to verify the situation.

Although this sudden incident had nothing to do with Guan Yuntian, it still frightened him. In order to find out how this incident would affect him, Guan Yuntian immediately called Changda Group's permanent legal adviser as soon as the investigators left.

Go to his office.

"Mr. Guan is so anxious to find me, what's the matter?"

"Lawyer Zhao, please sit down first. I want to ask you something." Guan Yuntian told the lawyer the whole story.

"Mr. Guan, there is nothing wrong with the way you handled it." Lawyer Zhao affirmed.

"Under the premise that I knew that Lao Han was using funds to engage in smuggling activities, I also exchanged equity with him so that he could obtain funds. Lawyer Zhao, do you think I should bear any responsibility?"

"First of all, try not to admit that you know the use of Lao Han's replacement funds. There is no proof of the matter between you two. If you insist on each other's opinions, the court is generally unwilling to accept such evidence. In addition, even if you know that Lao Han

As for the purpose of the replacement funds, as long as you do not involve the illegal gains from Lao Han’s smuggling operation, you will at most bear moral responsibility, but it has nothing to do with you legally." Lawyer Zhao explained.

"To tell you the truth, I really know what Lao Han is doing with the replacement funds. I just admitted it in front of the investigators, but I tried my best to dissuade Lao Han from his behavior beforehand, and later smuggled the illegal income from his business with Lao Han.

It doesn’t matter a penny.”

"Then there is no need to worry. Mr. Guan, if Lao Han's smuggling case is finally tried in the future, if you need to appear in court, you are willing to defend yourself in person. You must emphasize that you tried your best to dissuade Lao Han beforehand and talked to Lao Han afterwards.

There is no interest exchange; if you are unwilling to appear in court, I can defend you on your behalf, which is what you have done. We will never accept any accusation from the prosecutor, and we will not even accept our moral responsibility!" Lawyer Zhao gave Guan Yuntian this.

I took reassurance.

"Despite this, I still feel useless. For more than ten years, I have always adhered to the concept of law-abiding management. There has never been any violation of law or discipline in Changda Group. I have never provoked anyone. I didn't expect that the police were called today."

Cross-examination." Although Guan Yuntian was angry, the person who caused this situation was Han Defa. If Lao Han was here, Guan Yuntian would have to teach him a lesson.

"Mr. Guan, don't take this matter too seriously. It's just a police interrogation. Just treat it like a traffic police officer checking your driver's license while driving. It's a routine matter for them and it won't have any adverse effects on you."

"The investigators told me that I should not go far away in the near future, and that they might need to check with me to verify the situation. I am no longer free. What kind of thing is this!"

"Don't take it too seriously. If you really need to go on a business trip, call the police handling the case and ask them if they have anything to do with you recently and what to do. Don't delay your work."
