I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"Secretary You, I want to thank you on behalf of Zhan Liang."

When Jiang Hao heard that Zhan Liang was counted as an accomplice, he immediately understood that this was a favor from the city out of consideration for his face.

As the two core managers of Totoro, Zhang Qinghe and Zhan Liang, one the CEO and the other the vice president, cannot escape blame.

Even with Zhang Qinghe's personality, there is a high probability that he will let Zhan Liang take the blame.

But in the end, Zhang Qinghe was identified as the principal offender and Zhan Liang as an accomplice, which was indeed a great consideration.

They could even give Zhan Liang a suspended sentence, which was the greatest leniency given to Zhan Liang within a limited scope.

Although a suspended sentence will still keep a criminal record, at least it does not have to be actually executed. It can be said that there is no better solution.

Zhan Liang has a wife and children outside. If he really stays in jail for two years, I'm afraid the situation will be different when he comes out.

"Why thank me? I am also considering the development of Totoro Enterprise. The stock price has fallen so badly. If they take ruthless actions again, it will be a huge loss to our Songjiang City!"

Ever since the news of Totoro's suspected involvement in the crime of opening a casino came out, its stock price on the Nasdaq has begun to plummet.

The market share had been declining, and now with the release of this major news, the stock price fell from 37 million yuan to 21 million yuan.

It can be said that it was like a circuit breaker, and the market value was cut in half.

Fortunately, Jiang Hao has already gotten out, otherwise the drop in the stock price would have been really painful.

I want to wait until the market recovers, but judging from the current performance momentum, I don’t know if it’s possible in this lifetime.

The call was disconnected two days later.

The procedures of the procuratorate and the court were very quick. After all, this was a case that received personal attention from provincial leaders and was related to local economic development.

Zhang Qinghe was finally sentenced to seven years as the principal offender, and was required to return 2700 million yuan in stolen money and pay a fine of 107 million yuan.

All this money was obtained through private online transactions, including rebates from platform anchors who brushed their turnover, which can be considered as money obtained by Totoro through internal means.

Now all the money has been handed over by the prosecution in the form of stolen money.

In the end, Zhan Liang was actually able to obtain a three-year suspended sentence, return 3 million yuan in stolen money and compensation, and be fined 1100 yuan.

Several other senior executives also did not escape punishment.

The same goes for the entire Totoro company, which was fined 6000 million yuan.

Half of the entire working capital of Totoro Company was withdrawn.

This is also the largest amount of money ever fined to a company in Songjiang City and even in Jiangnan Province.

Of course, for the company itself and its senior executives, the main issue is money. After returning the stolen money and making compensation, and with a correct attitude, the sentences are relatively light.

But it’s different for the anchors who cooperate with the platform. They don’t earn much of this money themselves.

However, the amount of money required to be returned and compensated is not small, and they cannot pay most of it on their own.

If the stolen goods cannot be returned or compensation is paid, the court will not let the offender off lightly and will at least impose punishment according to the standard.

The final sentences of the several big anchors who committed the crime were almost the same as the main culprit, CEO Zhang Qinghe, and they were the ones who suffered the most in the whole incident!

……

Jiang Hao originally planned to go home on the 25th of the lunar year, but delayed it until the 28th because of the Totoro incident.

The company just held its annual meeting yesterday, and this is one of the rare years that Jiang Hao took the initiative to attend the annual meeting.

A few bottles of Maotai bearing the Chinese Zodiac signs were given to the employees through a raffle, and the atmosphere was very good.

Compared with the decline of Totoro, Haijing Technology is in its rising period, with a large number of employees and full of vitality.

At the same time, there is no need to say much about the platform's development potential. Now it has reached a period of multi-faceted development.

It was not until today that Jiang Hao finally drove home.

I go back to my hometown in Fuyang every year in this life, and there haven’t been many changes in the past few years.

Only this year, since getting off the highway, Jiang Hao felt that his hometown had become unfamiliar.

There were construction sites all along the way, and many of the houses on the roadside had the word "demolition" painted in red paint.

There are also many places that have already been demolished and are still in ruins.

It is especially difficult to drive in the city, as many roads have been closed and rebuilt.

There are also many roads that originally had three lanes but only have one or two lanes open.

The feeling of large-scale infrastructure is overwhelming.

As expected, the real estate boom finally hit Fuyang City following the shantytown renovation policy introduced after the initial stock market turmoil.

In Nanning District, several 30-story commercial housing buildings have been erected in a blink of an eye.

Some are still under construction, while others appear to have been occupied.

I didn’t check the price of the house I bought in Waterfront Residences, but I guess it should have increased by at least 20% last year.

This year will also see further house price surges.

As for the evolution of the times, Jiang Hao could only watch and get involved in this trend.

Along the way, various construction sites have signs of developers such as Evergrande, Country Garden, Binjiang, and Greentown hanging on them, all announcing the arrival of the real estate era.

"Uncle?"

As soon as the car drove into the community and parked next to his building, he saw the figure of his uncle Jiang Hai.

He was wearing a slightly exaggerated brown fur-collared jacket and black casual pants.

Although I see my uncle every year, this year he has changed the most.

This outfit is really noble, especially it looks like a liquor distributor.

"Xiao Hao? You're finally home!"

"You don't know, your father has been coming to my room every day to talk about you these days."

"I'm worried that you'll be implicated in the Totoro incident."

The news on the Internet about Totoro opening a casino naturally also includes news related to Jiang Hao.

Various news are spread, and the media video account will edit the most popular news.

However, now that the court has entered the process, some official information has begun to circulate and rumors have begun to be debunked.

"Uncle, I'm fine. I'm just cooperating with the record."

It had little to do with him, so Jiang Hao didn't explain too much.

At this time, another young man next to my uncle spoke with an excited and nervous look on his face.

"Uncle Hai, is this Mr. Jiang?"

"Oh! By the way, I forgot to introduce you, Mr. Lu. This is my nephew Jiang Hao, the chairman of Haijing Technology."

"Xiaohao, this is Lu Weibing, the general agent of Wuliangye in Fuyang City."

Hearing the words "Fuyang City Wuliangye General Agent", Jiang Hao couldn't help but feel confused.

Looking at his uncle Jiang Hai again, until Jiang Hai nodded to him again, Jiang Hao finally suppressed the doubts in his heart and shook hands with him.

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

"I don't dare, I don't dare! Mr. Jiang, you can just call me a soldier."

"It's a great honor to meet you today. I have to make some deliveries soon so I won't bother you any more."

After saying that, he waved goodbye to Uncle Hai and himself again.

It was not until Lu Weibing left that Jiang Hao looked at his uncle Jiang Hai again.

Before he could open his mouth, Uncle Hai had already explained it to him further.

"This is Mr. Lu's cousin. Lu Weiming probably stopped doing liquor business in the middle of the year and transferred the general agent position to this younger cousin."

"Most of my work in the past six months has been dealing with this Lu Weibing."

"Although he is a little young, he is very capable!"

"Especially compared to Mr. Lu, he has a stronger control over the liquor business in the city and he also takes good care of me."

Lu Weiming’s cousin?

Jiang Hao hadn't heard Brother Lu talk about this, but judging from the results.

It is likely that he completely gave up the liquor business and gave it to his relatives.

Lu Weiming's current net worth includes some companies and industries invested in with Jiang Hao, and it is indeed easy for him to get tired of the liquor business.

After all, no matter how hard he works, it is impossible for him to get as much profit and dividend as he gets from the growth of Jiang Hao's business in Songjiang.

I had never been interested in the liquor business in the first place, and now I just want to get rid of it completely.
