August 21st, 2014, the afternoon after Sangle's CEO Hong Weiguo was impeached by the Chamber of Commerce, 1 PM.
Shanghai Tianhai City, Hong Weiguo's wife, Lan Ruoxi, was staying at the Li Jing Hotel.
Hong Weiguo sat in front of his laptop and sighed deeply.
"What's wrong with me? Didn't I already make arrangements? Why am I still so worried? "Hong Weiguo shook his head and smiled. He took another deep breath and slowly clicked on a video call request with his father. Being impeached by the Chamber of Commerce was such a big matter, he naturally had to tell his father about it.
After about five minutes, the video call was connected.
Hong Weiguo was about to speak, but Hong Tu didn't ask what happened. Instead, he asked, "Weiguo, why are you so dispirited? Are you still the pride of our Hong Family? "
"Father, I … Have I changed in any way?" Hearing his father's question, Hong Weiguo was shocked. "You can tell?"
"Something big has happened, right?" Hong Tu touched his beard. He didn't look worried at all. He just slowly said, "I think it's nothing more than being impeached by the Chamber of Commerce. Why are you so worried over such a small matter?"
"Is being impeached a small matter?" Hong Weiguo was stunned. After being in a daze for a while, Hong Weiguo anxiously said, "The Chamber of Commerce's impeachment will be followed by a full-scale encirclement and suppression. Once they take action, it will definitely be a thunderbolt. It's impossible for any company not to have any problems. When the time comes, the authorities will investigate and all the big companies will join forces to attack. No matter how resourceful I am, I will definitely be exhausted. When that time comes, even if there is a turn for the better, there will definitely be heavy losses … "
This was what Hong Weiguo was really worried about. Facing the encirclement of the Chamber of Commerce, even if his arrangements were successful, no matter what, the losses would definitely be huge!
"Weiguo." Hong Tu shook his head but didn't talk about being impeached by the Chamber of Commerce. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Our Hong Family, from top to bottom, have you seen anyone who has suffered a setback? Have we seen anyone like you who is hesitant to move forward? "
After hearing Hong Tu's words, Hong Weiguo thought carefully, then shook his head and said, "No, there really isn't."
"Weiguo, you have always been the pride of our Hong family." Hong Tu didn't seem to be angry at all. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Back then, when you were still in school, you could become the emperor of the whole school without using any family connections. Back then, you were so high-spirited and full of mettle. You took the 50 million starting capital given to you by your family and set up Sangle Company. In two years, your assets increased to 1.5 billion. How impressive is that? The Qian Family saw the huge potential of the search engine and invested three billion yuan to snatch this piece of cake from you. You defeated the Qian Family's plan completely with just a few moves, causing the Qian Family to not dare to touch the Internet for the past ten years. How domineering are you? "
"But now? Look at you. You're so hesitant and worried about your gains and losses. " Hong Tu sighed. "Back then, the younger generation in our family looked down on Dali, that little rascal, and ostracized him everywhere. During the family meeting, you didn't hesitate to make the entire family your enemy to protect Dali's position in the family. At that time, how decisive and brave were you?"
"Yes, I … What's wrong with me?" Hong Weiguo violently wiped his hair and muttered, "What's wrong with me?"
"Weiguo, I know that you're under a lot of pressure." Hong Tu's voice was very kind. "You're my son. I watched you grow up bit by bit. I knew that you would definitely become my pride. It's normal for people to encounter some setbacks in life. In the past few years, your career has been too smooth. I knew from the start that this wasn't a good thing. It's easy to get used to small things, but once you encounter setbacks in big things, it's easy to become discouraged.
"Actually, people have seven emotions and six desires. Your career is getting bigger and bigger, especially during this period of time, Dali has become more outstanding. It's normal for your heart to be a little lax. After all, there's only one person in the world who's as heartless as Dali. You're different. No matter how much of a genius you are, you're just an ordinary person. It's okay for you to suffer some setbacks and take things too hard. There's an old saying in Heavenly State, 'Wealth comes from danger.' The impeachment this time might be a turning point. "
"Turning point?" Hong Weiguo muttered, his eyes getting brighter. "Father, you mean …"
"Hehe, looks like you've thought of something." Hong Tu laughed loudly, his beard and eyebrows trembling. "You're indeed the most talented person in the Hong Family. You've understood it so quickly.
"The Resource Chamber of Commerce started a hundred years ago. At that time, the world was in the midst of war. The world was in turmoil. Heavenly State had a vast land and abundant resources. Countries like Europe, America, and Jaban State. When the government decided to organize the Resource Chamber of Commerce, its intention was to unite all the tycoons in the country and tie everyone together. Once anyone was found to have committed treason, they would be impeached immediately and crushed to death instantly to prevent too much of an impact.
"However, things always change. It's impossible to say that the Resource Chamber of Commerce hasn't changed after so many years. So … "Hong Tu looked at Hong Weiguo." Wealth comes from danger. My proudest son, I think you know what to do now. "
"I understand, I understand!" Hong Weiguo's eyes got brighter and brighter. His spirits were lifted again, and even stronger than before. "Father, I know what to do now!"
"Hahaha, that's the pride of the Hong Family! Go, no matter what happens, the Hong Family will back you up. Don't worry. "Hong Tu laughed." Life is bold. At most, you can start all over again! "
"OK, I'll make the arrangements now!"
…
9 PM that night.
"Weiguo, why did you call us here so late at night?" As soon as Liu Yihui and Mu Tie sneakily entered the room, Liu Yihui asked, "Could it be that some other variable has occurred?"
Looking at the two people in front of him, Hong Weiguo smiled and said, "Take a seat. I called you here today because I thought about it carefully and came up with a new plan."
"Yes, go ahead." Mu Tie said in a deep voice, "We'll do our best to help."
"I trust both of your characters. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you here." Hong Weiguo said slowly, "This time, we can't just sit around and wait for death. That's not my style!" As Hong Weiguo spoke, he reached out and pressed Liu Yihui's and Mu Tie's shoulders. He pressed very hard. It was obvious that he had made a huge decision!
"Weiguo, you …" Liu Yihui was puzzled. "Your plan is …"
Hong Weiguo adjusted his train of thought and said slowly, "After a few hours of careful consideration, I've decided to split Sangle into four pieces. Old Liu, you and Old Tie will each take one piece!"
"Weiguo, are you serious?!" Mu Tie was shocked. "How can that be? Old Liu and I are going to split such a big piece of cake for no reason. This … "
"Don't be anxious. Listen to me." Hong Weiguo pulled the two of them to sit down. "The Chamber of Commerce's encirclement will definitely be swift and decisive. I won't go into the details. The key is that if I sit here and wait for death, no matter what happens in the end, my company will definitely suffer losses. Qian Guangzhao will be the one to be proud! We definitely can't let him get away with this! "
"But according to our previous arrangement." Liu Yihui thought for a while and said, "As long as we hold on for a few days, there should be a turn for the better …"
"That's not worth it." Hong Weiguo smiled. "If we leave the Chamber of Commerce's side alone, Sangle will definitely suffer heavy losses. This is definitely not an outcome we want to see. This time, I'll split Sangle into four pieces. Our Hong Family will take 25%, the two of you will take 30% each, and the remaining 15% will be all of Sangle's useless businesses. It's a pity to throw them away. Some of them barely break even, while some of them have been incurring losses for years. This part will be under my name! "
"After splitting Sangle into four pieces, the two of you will go back and look for Wen Jianan. Then, contact the media and release announcements. This 60% will definitely be protected. After all, the Chamber of Commerce didn't say that assets cannot be transferred. The two of you haven't been impeached. Even if Qian Guangzhao wants to do something to you, he can't do anything. With the Hong Family's connections, the Chamber of Commerce definitely won't dare to go overboard with the portion transferred to our Hong Family. After all, this portion isn't that much.
"Therefore, when the time comes, the Chamber of Commerce can only attack the useless portion under my name! Whether or not this portion is taken has no effect on Sangle! Let him do whatever he wants. I even have to thank Qian Guangzhao for helping me remove this tumor that I haven't been able to get rid of! "
After Hong Weiguo finished speaking, Mu Tie's and Liu Yihui's eyes instantly lit up.
Good idea, this is definitely a good idea!
This way, Sangle's foundation wouldn't be damaged. Those loss-making businesses could be eliminated directly. And because of Hong Dali's side, Liu Yihui and Mu Tie definitely wouldn't betray him — others might not know how powerful Hong Dali was, but Mu Tie and Liu Yihui definitely knew!
Old Master Liu, who had late-stage stomach cancer, could already kick a shuttlecock now …
"Yup, let's do that!" Liu Yihui clapped his hands fiercely. "Old Tie and I will only be in name. The real money we earn will be directly transferred to Hong Dali's name. Anyway, once the businesses are in our hands, they won't be able to decide who we give the money to!"
Mu Tie also said, "Yup, transfer it to Hong Dali's name. Hehe, even if Qian Guangzhao dies of anxiety, he can't do anything about it! This time, Old Liu and I will be your employees! "
"Yes, that's it!" Hong Weiguo laughed loudly. "This time, I, Hong Weiguo, will fight with Qian Guangzhao fair and square. I'll show him that he has done me a huge favor — with the remaining businesses under my name, I won't say much, but I'll lose at least two to three hundred million every year. This tumor will be completely removed, haha!"
"Hahahaha, Old Hong, your fighting spirit is finally back. And it's even stronger than before, hahaha!"
"And after that, when our arrangement is successful, we'll teach Qian Guangzhao a lesson!"
