Our reporter Zhang Yan and intern reporter Zhang Junya reported: Yesterday, Sinopec responded to the report of high-interest loans by its subsidiary Sichuan Sinopec Sales Co., Ltd. (short for Sichuan Sinopec), but its statements were refuted one by one by lawyers of private enterprises. Moreover, Sinopec did not respond to sensitive issues such as whether Sichuan Sinopec engaged in usury, and whether Huang Bo, deputy director of the Investment Department of Sichuan Sinopec, was the nephew of Huang Jiuchang, chairman and party secretary of Sichuan Sinopec.
Recently, it was reported that Sichuan Petrochemical Construction Investment Co., Ltd., which belonged to Sichuan Sinopec, issued high-interest loans. Among them, Sichuan Jinxin Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (short for Jinxin Real Estate) received a loan with a monthly interest rate of 3%, equivalent to an annual interest rate of 36%. Because Jinxin Real Estate could not repay the debt, without the consent of shareholders, Sichuan Petrochemical Construction Investment Co., Ltd. took over Jinxin Real Estate擅自.
In the response issued by Sinopec yesterday, there was no response to a series of sensitive issues such as whether Sinopec Sichuan provided high-interest loans to Jinxin Company and whether Huang Bo was the nephew of Huang Jiuchang, chairman and party secretary of Sinopec Sichuan. In response, industry insiders expressed that Sinopec's failure to respond to these sensitive issues does not count as a response.
On the same day, the reporter contacted Pu Jie, the lawyer of Liu Ming, the original shareholder of Jinxin Real Estate. Pu Jie said that the statement from Sinopec did not mention key issues such as the amount of the loan and the amount of interest collected, which was clearly an avoidance!
Pu Jie also told the reporter that Huang Bo is indeed the nephew of Huang Jiuchang. According to media reports, Huang Jiuchang, chairman and party secretary of Sichuan Sinopec Sales Co., Ltd., promised to provide loans to Jinxin Company at a monthly interest rate of 3% and authorized his nephew, Huang Bo, deputy director of the investment department of Sinopec Sichuan Sales Co., Ltd. and legal representative of Sichuan Petrochemical Construction Investment Co., Ltd., to handle the matter specifically.
In addition, a document provided by the lawyer showed that six local real estate companies received loans from Sinopec with an annual interest rate of 36%, and attached the phone numbers of the legal representatives of these real estate companies, claiming that Sinopec Sichuan misappropriated about 2 billion yuan of refined oil sales proceeds and bank loans, using the bank accounts of its subordinate companies to issue high-interest loans to more than ten real estate enterprises in Sichuan. Subsequently, the reporter telephoned the legal representatives of several companies. When they learned that the reporter was interviewing them, they all denied receiving loans from Sinopec.
In addition, Sinopec responded that the change of Jinxin Real Estate was the true intention of the original shareholders, legally valid, and there was no concealment or plundering, nor any lending scandal. In response to this response, lawyer Pu Jie refuted each point one by one.
Pu Jie stated that claims such as Liu Ming being investigated by the Tongchuan District Public Security Bureau of Dazhou City were completely fabricated. Regarding the "two resolutions of the shareholders' meeting on August 25" mentioned in Sinopec's response, Pu Jie said that there was absolutely no such thing. There were no such two resolutions of the shareholders' meeting in the industrial and commercial archives. The two resolutions of the shareholders' meeting were not signed by shareholders like Liu Ming, but were forged.

Excerpt from Sinopec's Response
Sichuan Petrochemical Construction Investment Co., Ltd. is its subordinate legal entity enterprise, which independently operates related businesses in the Dazhou area according to relevant national laws and regulations.
In 1993, Jinxin Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (Jinxin Company) was responsible for developing and constructing the "Yinghuang Plaza" and "Xingsheng Garden Dangerous House Reconstruction" projects. During the construction process, due to Jinxin Company's huge losses, the project became a "stalled building" locally.
On December 12, 2007, the Daxian County People's Government signed the "Xingsheng Garden Dangerous House Reconstruction Project Investment Agreement" with Sichuan Petrochemical Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. (now renamed Sichuan Petrochemical Construction Investment Co., Ltd.).
Before the intervention of Sichuan Petrochemical Construction Investment Co., Ltd., Liu Ming personally owed more than 20 million yuan in high-interest loans and used the name of development projects to defraud engineering guarantees and illegally raise funds, suspected of personally defrauding 38.69 million yuan of private funds, and was investigated by the Tongchuan District Public Security Bureau of Dazhou City.
On August 25, 2008, the shareholders' meeting of Jinxin Company decided to transfer all the company's equity to individual Huang Bo for 1000 yuan. On August 28, 2008, Liu Ming and Huang Bo, in accordance with the resolution of the shareholders' meeting, entrusted administrative personnel (such as Li Tao and others) to go to the Daxian County Administration for Industry and Commerce to handle the change registration of the legal representative, shareholders, and equity (the signatures of Liu Ming, Wang Jiayun, Xia Deju, and Huang Bo on relevant documents were all signed by the entrusted personnel). Both parties had no objections. After reviewing the relevant materials and confirming they complied with legal provisions, the Daxian County Administration for Industry and Commerce approved the changes.
In August 2011, Liu Ming reported to the Daxian County Administration for Industry and Commerce of Dazhou City that: "The equity transfer, legal representative, and shareholder changes of Jinxin Company on August 28, 2008, were obtained through forged materials by Huang Bo." The Daxian County Administration for Industry and Commerce conducted an investigation and determined that the change materials submitted by Sichuan Jinxin Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. on August 28, 2008, represented the true intentions of the original shareholders, and Huang Bo did not engage in concealing important facts to fraudulently obtain Jinxin Company. The content of the changes was legally valid, and a letter titled "Investigation and Handling Situation of the Case Suspected of Submitting False Materials to Obtain Change Registration by Sichuan Jinxin Real Estate Development Co., Ltd." was issued. Afterwards, Liu Ming repeatedly distorted facts and defamed Sichuan Petrochemical Construction Investment Co., Ltd. through media and the Internet regarding the issuance of "high-interest loans" and unauthorized changes in equity, attempting to confuse right and wrong and maliciously damage the company's reputation.
