Chapter Seventy-Two: The Person Not on the List

  The power went out again in the afternoon, fortunately the laptop was fully charged, I wrote a chapter and uploaded it wirelessly!

  When drinking water, think of its source; when becoming rich, don't forget one's neighbors.

  Although it is easy to say so, how many people can really do it?

  Wuyang Wine, Jimmy invested 500 million US dollars and holds 30% of the shares. Calculated this way, Wuyang Wine's total market value is around 1 billion 666 million 670 thousand US dollars.

  At an exchange rate of 1:8.35 in '95, the total market value of Wu Yang Wine Industry is approximately RMB one billion three hundred ninety-one million one hundred sixty-seven thousand.

  1% of the shares, worth as much as 139.1 million, was distributed among more than 200 people in the winery, with each person getting at least around 50,000. According to the current monthly salary of less than 500 yuan per capita in Huanghe, this is already the total annual salary of several years for the employees of the winery.

  In addition, one percent of the village was given away, which means that Yang Xinhua took out shares worth over 270 million yuan and distributed dividends to the people of Yangjia Village.

  It can be seen that Yang Xinhua is a real rich man who does not forget his neighbors, although the shares seem to be small, but the value is absolutely not low.

  Yang Jie studied economics and management, Yang Xinhua didn't consult with him and gave away 2% of the shares to someone else. He didn't think there was anything wrong with that, after all, Yang Xinhua still had 68% of the shares and absolute control.

  "Dad, didn't you let Guixi distribute the stock allocation for all employees in the factory?" Yang Jie took over the letter paper handed over by Yang Xinhua and quickly scanned it from top to bottom. When he saw that Wang Guixi's share allocation ratio was listed as 0.2%, he looked up at Yang Xinhua and asked.

  "Yes, Wang Gui Xi is very familiar with the situation of all employees in the factory. Plus, he is a fair person and gets along well with everyone. I think he is the best candidate to distribute employee shares." Yang Xin Hua trusts Wang Gui Xi so much that she would entrust such an important matter to him.

  Yang Jie heard this and smiled bitterly, pointing to Wang Gui Xi's name and the allotment ratio, saying: "If I'm not mistaken, perhaps Gui Xi's death is 80 or 90% related to this 0.2%!"

  Yang Jie said affirmatively, Yang Xinhua and Deng Xiancheng also involuntarily shifted their gaze to the place where Yang Jie was pointing.

  Wang Guixi was in charge of distributing shares to all the workers in the factory, and he allocated 0.2% to himself, which means that this share alone is worth 27.8 million yuan, such a large sum of money, it's not surprising that people are envious.

  Deng Xiancheng took the letter from Yang Jie, looked at it and nodded: "Comrade Yang Jie's analysis is reasonable. Although Wang Guixi is generally fair-minded, on the issue of employee stock allocation, he allocated so many shares to himself, which means that the more shares he occupies, the more he invades others' shares and damages their interests."

  Once this payroll is leaked, it's understandable that people will be resentful. Director Yang, can you provide us with a copy of the entire factory's salary table so we can verify and compare? Is every employee's name in the factory on this list?

  "Alright! Little Jie, come to my desk and bring over that red file folder." Yang Xinhua said, instructing Yang Jie to bring over the folder. After he did, she took out a copy of the factory's payroll from two months prior and handed it to Deng Xiancheng.

  Deng Xiancheng took the payroll and hastily left Yang Xinhuas office, presumably to find someone to verify it.

  Yang Xinhua looked at Yang Jie with a gaze full of relief after Deng Xiancheng left. Yang Xinhua, who was not good at speaking, was usually taciturn, but today he was very satisfied with Yang Jie's performance and a faint smile appeared on his cold and serious face.

  "Xiao Jie, you've matured, grown up, and learned to think things through with your brain. Not bad!"

  Yang Jie heard this and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Yang Xinhua's words of praise, on the contrary, seemed to be mocking him. What did it mean to think with one's brain? If he didn't use his brain to think about problems, how could he have been admitted to Yan University, how could he have graduated smoothly?

  "Dad, this matter of share allocation, why didn't you discuss it with me? Your kind intention might just become the main reason for Guixi's misfortune. I'm not saying this to oppose your decision to give shares and dividends to all factory employees and villagers, but the allocation of shares worth tens of millions must be fair, just, and transparent; otherwise, something big will happen." Yang Jie knew that Yang Xinhua was kind-hearted and hadn't thought about any potential problems, so he didn't want to criticize him too much.

  "This thing was indeed a bit rushed, and it's all my fault. Usually, I let Guixi handle big and small things, and this matter is no exception. I thought that before the announcement, I would take care of it, but unexpectedly, Guixi hadn't handed over the form to me yet when he had an accident."

  "If it's really because of this that Guixi was killed, I truly didn't know. In the future, how can I face his wife and children?" Yang Xinhua said with a sigh, his brow furrowed in distress.

  "Alright, Dad, you're also being kind-hearted. The killer may not have killed him just because of this matter. Even if it was because of this, it only shows that the killer's heart is too narrow-minded. Such a person shouldn't be given more money." After comforting Yang Xinhua for a few sentences, Yang Jie said: "Dad, since you're not feeling well and can't move around easily, all the important matters in the factory need to be handled by you. You should take care of the factory's affairs first. As for Deng Da-dui and his team, I'll follow up on it. If anything happens, I'll report back to you immediately."

  Yang Xinhua nodded and reminded him as Yang Jie was about to leave: "Xiao Jie, the murderer is ruthless and cunning, with skills beyond ordinary people. You must be careful, even if you discover something, don't arouse his suspicion, lest you get hurt."

  "Got it!" Yang Jie replied and quickly walked out of the office.

  The criminal police team, under the leadership of Yang Li, is currently visiting each workshop in the factory to ask employees about Wang Guixi's situation and has also found all the employees who worked the night shift yesterday to investigate the situation last night.

  Yang Jie found Deng Xiancheng when he had just finished the autopsy at the rural hospital and was on the phone with the forensic doctor.

  Looking at Deng Xiancheng's serious face, Yang Jie was slightly stunned for a while before getting the recording of Deng Xiancheng's conversation with the forensic doctor from Xiao Liu.

  Forensic experts have made a preliminary conclusion on Wang Guixi's death, Wang Guixi died of excessive blood loss due to being stabbed in the heart with a sharp blade, thirteen knives were almost all stabbed near the chest cavity's dynamic and static vein blood vessels, the murder weapon was a kind of sharp blade with bleeding function.

  As a result, the deceased Wang Guixi was stabbed and would lose a large amount of blood in a very short period of time, leading to death due to excessive bleeding. According to preliminary autopsy results, the other twelve knives that the perpetrator inserted into Wang Guixi's thoracic cavity were all before he died.

  In other words, the murderer stabbed the victim thirteen times in a very short period of time. From the angle of the stab wounds, it can be seen that the murderer was extremely familiar with human anatomy, which is how he managed to avoid the blade getting stuck in the ribcage.

  "Captain Deng, how's the comparison of the list?" Yang Jie already knew the result of the forensic identification, which was the same as his previous speculation. So it could be confirmed that the murderer should be a retired soldier.

  "Director Yang just called and said he would come over later. He attaches great importance to this case, and after learning that Comrade Yang provided us with many clues, he said that when he arrives, he must personally thank you."

  "After cross-checking the list, we found that several employees' names were not on the equity distribution table. I'm arranging for someone to investigate their whereabouts yesterday." Deng Xiancheng said this, and Yang Jie was slightly stunned.

  Yang Hua wanted to see him, and he already knew that, so it wasn't strange. What was strange was what Deng Xiancheng said afterwards.

  Yang Xinhua took out shares and should have distributed them to all the people in the factory. Wang Guixi's share allocation table couldn't possibly be missing a few names.

  "Captain Deng, didn't you miss a piece of paper, so you didn't find the names of several other people?" Yang Jie asked. Captain Deng's expression turned serious and he said: "This is impossible, Wang Guixi's office and home were searched by our county bureau's most experienced forensic experts, it's impossible to miss anything."

  "Whose names are missing from Wang Gui Xi's list?"

  "Zhang Bo, Yuan Qiuhua, Dai Xiaoqiang, Zhao Huiyuan, Ma Dajun and Wang Cheng." Deng Xiancheng opened his notebook and read out the names of these six people one by one.

  After listening to Deng Xiancheng's words, Yang Jie's face suddenly changed. These people were all retired soldiers and not from Yangjiacun Village but a few others from other towns in the winery.

  At first, he heard Yang Xinhua say that these people were rural household registrations and had no job arrangements after retiring from the army. The family burden was heavy and life was relatively poor. Therefore, during a gathering of old soldiers, Yang Xinhua, who understood their situation, recruited them into the winery to be responsible for driving trucks to deliver goods.

  Yang Jie's driving skills were still learned from following Dai Xiaoqiang, so Yang Jie was relatively familiar with several old drivers and knew some of their basic information and personalities.
