Chapter 888: Breaking News
While the Internet was raging over the high ticket prices for Gu Xiaobai's concert, in a hotel suite in Jakarta, Li Zhixun licked his lips, took a deep breath, and pressed the confirm button.
In the blink of an eye, all the money in his account was turned into Bitcoins and transferred to his Bitcoin wallet.
Due to the entry of a lot of funds, the price of Bitcoin rose slightly, made a small spike, and then disappeared.
Now, the HSL employees who are still cheering for the Korean Wave concert don't know that while they are guiding public opinion on the Internet and making headlines, their boss Li Zhixun is already preparing to take the money and abscond.
Before coming to Jakarta, Li Zhixun had already cashed out some of the HSL company shares that he could liquidate, and exchanged all of them for Bitcoin.
And just now, part of the money for two tours in Southeast Asia finally entered a loophole in his long-awaited financial link.
He had discovered this loophole a long time ago, but he never reported it or fixed it because he often used this loophole to secretly give himself small subsidies.
In this link, he can bypass the monitoring of the company's financial personnel and directly control the funds.
And now, all of this has become a set of numbers in his Bitcoin wallet.
After the operation was completed, Li Zhixun got dressed, picked up his luggage, and looked at his phone.
Seeing the numbers displayed on his Bitcoin wallet, he felt a little relieved.
Although HSL is one of the so-called three major entertainment companies in South Korea, it can only rank last among the three. It is overtaken by many companies behind it. Its market value is only RMB 1.2 billion, and its annual operating income is less than 1 billion.
, the annual profit is only tens of millions.
This is also one of the reasons why Park Xinchang, the former chairman of SP Company, decisively gave up continuing to compete with Gu Xiaobai for the market in Southeast Asia.
Because... in just two or three months of competing with Gu Xiaobai, they invested almost the entire year's profits, but they had no results at all. They really didn't dare to burn any more money.
But now, Li Zhixun is in a hurry to cash out all the shares of HSL Company and dare not sell them all for fear of attracting other people's attention, so he has cashed out less than 10 million.
The total box office of the two Korean pop concerts in Indonesia and Malaysia was about 65 million. After deducting taxes, about 30% of the initial expenses for venue security, and other costs that have been spent, he only got about 2,000.
More than ten thousand yuan.
This is all the money he got from this operation.
Bitcoin worth 33 million yuan should make him live more comfortably in the second half of his life...
After all, this is money that most people will never earn in their lifetime.
but……
Li Zhixun was a little unwilling again.
His real estate and other assets in South Korea were never realized in time.
With this money, which is less than five million US dollars, I’m afraid I can’t go to a too developed country to spend a lot of time...
If he had more time, he could get more, but it was too dangerous.
Must leave.
He took a deep breath and opened the door. Just as he was about to go out, he saw an Indonesian policeman standing at the door.
After seeing him, the policeman quickly asked: "Sir, do you want to go out? We are responsible for protecting your safety..."
Li Zhixun: "..."
What the hell, why are there police at the door!
Of course he didn't know, it was all his own doing.
He was acting domineering at Jakarta Airport, which made local officials worried. What if he acted too harshly and got beaten?
So he sent guards to at least prevent him from being hacked to death.
Damn it, I want to take the money and abscond now, what are you doing with me?
"I need to go out for something, and I don't need you to follow me." Li Zhixun said.
"Sir, our mission is to protect your safety in Jakarta. There are a lot of foreigners in Jakarta now..." The police followed reluctantly.
"I don't need your protection, I need to handle some corporate secrets..."
"Then let's follow from a distance..." The police still followed behind.
Li Zhixun's expression immediately changed and he roared angrily.
The policeman was yelled at and was a little confused. He looked confused and didn't know what mistake he had made. He knew a little Korean, but it wasn't very good. Li Zhixun's translator was not around, so he just apologized repeatedly.
Li Zhixun was anxious. He was stunned by the policeman's yelling and quickly got into the elevator. As soon as he pressed the button to go downstairs, he heard his cell phone ringing.
The caller was from a middle-level person in charge of finance. Inside, the middle-level person's voice was very nervous: "President, it's not good..."
"What's wrong?" Li Zhixun was extremely nervous, but he still tried his best to make his voice not sound so nervous.
"The funds in our account are missing!" On the opposite side, the middle-level staff almost burst into tears.
Li Zhixun's heart skipped a beat.
what happened?
Why was it discovered so quickly?
It shouldn’t be!
Of course he didn't know that this was because a large number of tourists were pouring into Indonesia, which caused Indonesian cities to be unable to load, so many Korean fans canceled their tickets.
Refunding a check will activate the compensation mechanism, which requires process review to return the money to the buyer's account.
But this time, many people discovered that they had received the message "Your refund application has been approved and the money will be returned to your payment channel", but they did not receive the money.
HSL's hotline is almost overwhelmed.
Because there was a problem with the process, the financial staff checked it and found that one of the processes was stuck. They immediately reported it to the middle-level person in charge of finance, and then the call came to Li Zhixun.
"Don't be nervous, I'll go investigate what's going on." Li Zhixun's only idea now is to appease the financial officer and buy himself some time.
"I checked the transaction records and found that all the money was exchanged for Bitcoin. President, have we been attacked by hackers... Wuwuwuwu, what should I do, what should I do..."
This amount of money can really scare the financial staff out of their wits.
Li Zhixun comforted the financial staff while anxiously looking at the numbers on the elevator.
The numbers are going down, down...
In endless anxiety, Li Zhixun finally saw the number dropped to 1.
The door is open.
There were several policemen standing at the door.
"Didn't I say it? I don't need protection!" Li Zhixun became angry and roared.
"Mr. Li Zhixun, I am Barry, Commissioner of the Corruption Eradication Commission, and this is Agent Heller from the Interpol Anti-Money Laundering Department. We have received a tip that you are suspected of laundering money for a pirate organization. Please come with me...
"
At that moment, Li Zhixun felt his head buzzing and his whole body lost all strength.
Who, who betrayed me!
Why, why did these police come to the door so quickly!
This shouldn't be the case!
20 minutes later, a domestic charter flight landed at Jakarta International Airport.
Some passengers on the plane turned on their mobile phones, and the ding-ding-dong-dong sound sounded.
"Breaking news! HSL President Lee Ji-hoon was arrested by the Indonesian police for allegedly laundering nearly 10 million US dollars for a pirate organization! The 80,000-person 'Korean Wave Concert' was forced to be cancelled!"
On the plane, a passenger who finally put on his shoes suddenly shouted: "How is it possible? How can the concert be cancelled?"
Chapter completed!
