It seemed that he knew Ding Xingli was very busy, and it seemed that he knew that Ding Xingli had something to tell Han Bo privately that Director Guan did not mention the friendship of the landlords and reached a tacit understanding that was not tacit, so he asked Han Bo to "receive Director Ding" on behalf of the Municipal Bureau.

How to receive it, take it to the hotel, and have a meal with him in the evening?

He has never liked to welcome and see off, and Han Bozheng didn't know what to arrange next. Ding Xingli asked with a smile: "Did you drive?"

“There is a car.”

"Send me to the branch."

Han Bo also had a lot of questions and agreed: "Okay, please Director Ding, please."

...

With a driver here, it is not convenient to speak. Ding Xingli just reminisces about the past and even half-jokingly complains that he doesn't make a phone call when he returns home and gathers with him as his friend.

The People's Bank of China, also known as the central bank, does not handle deposit and loan business. Its main functions are to maintain financial stability and promote economic development. For example, anti-money laundering, anti-counterfeiting currency, establishing an integrity system, maintaining bank payment and settlement systems, formulating monetary policies, issuing currencies, controlling deposit and loan interest rates, adjusting deposit reserves, counting bank data (position control), carrying out international financial business, etc., which can be called "banks that manage banks."

Five years ago, when I assisted the People's Bank of China in cracking down on underground money shops, Han Bo went to the People's Bank of China Shenzheng Branch, but the changes have been too big in the past five years. If it weren't for the driver's sub-scheming, I might not have been able to find it if I didn't open the navigation.

The two of them talked and laughed, and arrived at their destination without realizing it.

When he arrived at the dispatching agency of the People's Bank of China, Ding Xingli transformed into the master. After greeting the comrades from the branch who were coming out to greet him, he enthusiastically invited Han Bo to a conference room.

As soon as I sat down and took the teacup from the branch staff, a tall and thin middle-aged man walked in with a smile.

"Old Sun, this is Han Bo and Xiao Han who I mentioned to you, this is Director Sun of the China Banking Regulatory Commission."

The department in front of him is also in charge of banks, but more in supervision of business, responsible for unified supervision of banks, asset management companies, trust investment companies and other deposit-related financial institutions, and supervising financial institutions and their business activities. For example, formulating business rules, access, establishment, change, change, revocation, appointment of senior executives, etc., all of them must be registered with the China Banking Regulatory Commission.

Han Bo originally thought that his old friend wanted to take him to fight against money laundering, but he didn't expect to meet people from the China Banking Regulatory Commission here.

The central bank's dispatching agency is a branch, and the China Banking Regulatory Commission's dispatching agency is a China Banking Regulatory Commission. Han Bo realized that the person in front of him should be a "Beijing official", and immediately stood up and smiled: "Hello Director Sun, welcome Director Sun to Shenzheng."

"Director Han, don't be so polite. The position level is here, so I don't dare to sit in it anymore."

"You are older than me, and you are a leader from the ministries and commissions. You are a senior official."

Younger than expected and more modest than expected, Sun Zhe felt that the person in front of him was interesting, and he held his hand tightly and smiled: "Director Han, as far as I know, you are here in Shenzhen and have a job relationship with the Ministry of Public Security. What leaders come from the ministries and commissions, and what are the officials at the top of the level? Others can say this, but you can't say it."

Thinking about it, I am really half a "Beijing official".

The more Han Bo thought about it, the more funny it became. Just as he was about to ask about their true purpose, Ding Xingli took the meeting room door and pointed to the tall buildings outside the window, saying with emotion: "Han Bo, since the first art auction in Shenzhen was opened in 1992, the Chinese art auction industry has gone through more than a dozen years. The huge role of auctions in promoting the development of the Chinese art market is beyond doubt, especially in recent years, its achievements have been more significant.

A large number of artworks lost overseas have been returned, and artworks that were not valued by people have been properly kept and collected. The number, types and auctions have increased unprecedentedly. There are crowds of people at auctions, and auctions have become a great stage for popularization of artworks, which has directly led to exciting, with a sharp increase in transaction volume and a large number of artworks that have been growing rapidly over the years. Some even predicted that a huge craze for collecting artworks for the whole people is forming."

"It looks quite prosperous." Han Bo nodded slightly, sat down and listened attentively.

"But, behind the art auction's 'hot heat', strange sounds are everywhere. Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi are everywhere. How can there be so many famous calligraphy and paintings? Xu Beihong's horse and Zheng Banqiao's bamboo are sold at a low price of no more than 1,000 yuan. What is it if it is a fake painting?"

Ding Xingli sighed lightly and sat down and said, "Forgery products are prevalent and are contagious like viruses in the art auction industry. How many fakes are there in the market? There are no exact statistics, and there are many different opinions. Some say as much as 90%, some say more than half, and some say one-third. But the word "is said: there are a little more genuine products in large auction houses, small auction houses have poor reputations, and some small and medium-sized auctions have almost no genuine product, and they are all fake."

The People's Bank of China only cares about anti-money laundering, and this seems to be yours.

But these words are basically all about ideas. Han Bo said helplessly: "Buyers often have to swallow bitter fruit when they buy fakes. The "Auction Law" with 'bold lines' cannot hang the 'Sword of Damocles'. Because it stipulates that the authenticity and flaws of the goods are identified by the buyer themselves, and the auctioneer does not have to bear legal liability."

Sun Zhe said: "It is precisely because of the legal gap in this area that the current art auction market is in chaos, and a large number of fakes are flooding the auction market."

"This should be under the management of the cultural department, and the Ministry of Culture should formulate corresponding regulations to regulate the market."

"You think the Ministry of Culture doesn't want to manage it, but the key is how to manage it well. Maybe you have noticed that until today, there is no such industry as gallery in the industrial and commercial registration. The names and business formats of various companies are diverse, which is obviously not in line with the annual transaction volume of gallery of hundreds of billions of yuan."

Ding Xingli changed his tone and said extremely serious: "If you are not in your position, you will not do your own affairs. The cultural department is concerned about the matters of the cultural department. Our People's Bank of China and the China Banking Regulatory Commission are concerned about the serious problems of art trusts and art funds. Not only does it have huge financial risks, but it also ignores the regulation of real estate by the State Council. In the case of repeated demands for tightening monetary funds in the real estate industry, it will transfer funds to the real estate industry in disguise."

It turns out that my worries are redundant, and it turns out that my superiors have long noticed these problems.

Han Bo only has a certain understanding of the money laundering process and couldn't help asking: "Director Ding, the Art Fund transmits funds to real estate, how did they establish this pipeline?"

"Five or six years ago, some financial institutions opened art fund products. In addition to issuing art funds, there are many art platforms, including art museums or equity-staked auction companies in Beijing, Donghai, and Shenzhen. Some funds claimed to be sold out quickly, but were actually subscribed by their employees.

Things that cannot be sold on the fund plate flow into its art gallery. After a while, they get from the art gallery to the auction company and ask for a high price to sell it. Then they use sky-high art as collateral to raise funds from the bank. The money they have raised enters the real estate industry to continue to make profits."

As soon as Ding Xingli finished speaking, Director Sun emphasized: "If there is no art funds or trust transmission, according to the current austerity policy, the state will not allow financial institutions to lend funds directly to the real estate industry."

House prices have soared in recent days. In order to control housing prices, the State Council has successively introduced regulatory policies. Han Bo reacted: "Terror to the wind and fight against the State Council!"

"Some companies that operate art funds even have real estate businesses themselves, so it is easy to organize a fund based on the company's collection."

"It seems unnecessary for financial institutions to set up so many platforms for artworks. They must be linked one by one. Any loss will lead to inability to explain to investors. But once they have the ultimate platform of financial institutions, it is easy to operate in one fell swoop, so this secret chain must be uncovered."

It turns out that what we are going to deal with is the "big dealer". Although the two friends from the financial regulatory authorities did not say it clearly, they could imagine what background those "big dealer" had.

Han Bo was shocked and couldn't help asking: "Director Ding, how many art funds are there now?"

"Nearly 30 art fund companies have issued and established more than 70 art funds, with an initial scale of nearly 10 billion!"

Looking at Han Bo's thoughtful look, Ding Xingli continued: "In the current art market, there are very few companies that can make art funds in a proper manner. If art trusts still need to go through layer-by-layer risk assessment by trusts and banks, then art funds in the form of limited partnerships are more likely to cause problems.

There is no need to issue invoices when buying and selling art in collectors, and the details of signing contracts cannot be transparent and regulated. Funds know that it is too easy to go as long as you are ruthless. And art markets like our China, which are oriented towards investment and speculation, are billions of funds that are big investors and can control the market price."

"The superiors require the chaos in the art market to be rectified?"

"Or how could Director Sun and I come to see you?"

"Director Ding and Director Sun, you two respect me so much. If it is just anti-money laundering, as long as the clues, as long as the units or personnel involved in the case are in Shenzhen, I, Han Bo, will definitely help with it with all my strength. But what you need to do is not just anti-money laundering, but to govern and rectify the entire industry. The laws and regulations in this regard are blank. How much role can I, a policeman, play?"

"Look for breakthroughs and handle several major cases." Ding Xingli patted his shoulder and added: "I am just ordered to take the lead. The participating departments are not just our People's Bank of China. The China Banking Regulatory Commission and your three public security departments, culture, finance, procuratorial, taxation and other relevant departments will participate..."

The real big action is directly responsible for Zhongnanhai.

Participation does not mean charging forward. The main task is to study existing laws and regulations, find breakthroughs based on existing laws and regulations, and guide relevant departments to rectify industry chaos.

But then again, this is what the ministries and commissions should do.

"Director Ding, I can participate, but as the Customs Bureau said, there is a lot of work here, and at this stage I may only be able to take care of both."

"No problem, we can communicate more. You have rich experience in handling cases and believe that there should be no problem in opening a breakthrough. The key is to consider many factors in the research, one is laws and regulations, and the other is to manage both the whole industry and not to control it."

"I understand, I need to master a degree."

"I bring some materials and you can take them back and take them. Director Guan's words make sense. The art market is small or big, mainly concentrated in Beijing, Donghai and Shenzheng. Please pay more attention to the survey work of Shenzheng. I will report to my superiors to see if I can set up a group in Shenzheng."

...

We must focus on cracking down on several "managers" who are calling for the wind and rain in the art market. We must achieve the ultimate goal of rectifying the industry, curbing art money laundering, and curbing the chaos in the flow of art funds into the real estate market by cracking down on "managers". However, the laws and regulations on this aspect are almost blank. The master has no name and can only survey and investigate and research first.

This was not a matter of one day or two, Han Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After talking with the two "Beijing officials", I took a few file bags and was about to call the Bureau of Customs first, but I would go back to the task force to crack down on the criminal gang first, but the Bureau of Customs actually arrived first.

"Comrade Han Bo, how did you talk to Director Ding?"

"The report to the Bureau of Customs was quite harmonious, but Director Ding asked to keep the conversation confidential."

Director Guan is not in the municipal bureau. He is sitting in the office of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee Secretary, looking at Secretary Yang of the Political and Legal Committee, and smiled and said, "I am not asking what I have been talking about, I am talking about both."

"Director Ding agreed, and also wants to ask our Municipal Bureau Economic Investigation Detachment for assistance."

"That's good, I'm relieved. I'm in the municipal party committee and just reported to several municipal party committee leaders. I've revealed it to you to make you mentally prepared. Considering the actual work needs, you need to adjust your position. The municipal party committee and government decided to remove you from the position of deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Municipal Bureau and appoint you as a member of the Party Committee and deputy director of the Municipal Bureau."

Han Bo was surprised if he was wrong: "Control, this is too exaggerated!"

"What an exaggeration? If you hadn't insisted on coming to our municipal bureau for a job, you would have been an assistant to the director. In fact, the Listing-Committee-Organization Department asked you to go to the Criminal Investigation Bureau to serve as the deputy director at that time. Although you didn't work in the Criminal Investigation Bureau for a long time, your achievements and abilities are obvious to all. Now the adjustment can be said to be a natural result."

If someone else is the deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau directly promoted to the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, there will definitely be people gossiping if such adjustments are made. But he is not someone else. Not only is he a deputy inspector, he is also a deputy inspector of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Whether he is on duty as the deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau or directly promoted to the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, he does not occupy the establishment of the Municipal Bureau.

What's more, even if Ding Xingli did not use Shangfang's sword to poach, the Municipal Party Committee would still adjust. It is worth mentioning that several deputy directors of the Municipal "Three Killing Office" were all deputy positions in relevant departments, only he was not. At that time, the appointment only considered his administrative level and deliberately blurred his administrative positions.

In short, the problem that has been hanging around has finally been solved.
Chapter completed!
