Chapter 548: Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting (Part Nineteen)Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tianhai Military District Headquarters.
The Bureau Chief anxiously sat in the main chair, ferociously rubbing his forehead.
Hong Dali only made a casual move and Qian Guangzhao had already been entirely defeated. This was at least one week earlier than they planned.
“This little rascal.” The Bureau Chief had a headache. “I knew he would cause an accident for us, but I didn"t expect it to be so fast. We didn"t even have the time to make any arrangements.”
A person said, “Bureau Chief, what should we do now? Qian Guangzhao has fallen too fast, our plans…”
“I can"t say what plans we shall make now.” The Bureau Chief closed his eyes and thought for a while, before he slowly said, “We need to make new arrangements for Hong Weiguo"s side. The Chamber of Commerce has almost eliminated all of his companies which were losing money. After that, they will be focusing on encircling Qian Guangzhao, so Hong Weiguo will be fine in the short term. But what I am worried about now is s.h.i.+rois.h.i.+ Kazuma"s reaction.”
“That"s right.” The other person also felt quite depressed. “I fear that s.h.i.+rois.h.i.+ Kazuma will be scared and cower back. If he doesn"t dare to make a move, we will have to do it ourselves. Although we can do it, it"s not very safe-proof, after all.”
“Yup, this matter is really difficult to handle.” The Bureau Chief tapped his finger on the conference table and thought for a while. Then, he suddenly said, “Looks like we have to stop our actions on Hong Weiguo"s side for now and see how things progress, there"s no use worrying about it now. What I am worried about instead is Qian Guangzhao.”
“Qian Guangzhao?” His subordinates discussed for a while and someone said, “Bureau Chief, could it be that he will make some sneaky moves?”
“Yes, not maybe, it"s definitely!” The Bureau Chief nodded his head affirmatively. “Qian Guangzhao has the characteristics of an owl-hero. I don"t believe that he will just stand by and let the Chamber of Commerce destroy his company.”
Owls, known for its ferocious nature. Heroes, normally virtuous in nature. An owl-hero, normally tended to be vicious.
Owl-heroes tended to be heartless. Heroes believed in justice and treated others with kindness. Even if the whole world betrayed them, heroes stayed true to their beliefs and always carried out justice.
Owl-heroes were different. They were ruthless and ambitious, they would rather betray the whole world and let the world betray them. Heroes sacrificed themselves for a just cause, while owl-heroes would kill all those that opposed them and forced others to obey them.
Qian Guangzhao was such a person. He wanted to be the center of attention. He could be heartless to others, but he wouldn"t allow others to betray him.
His ambition was very big. Previously, when he impeached Hong Weiguo, partly it was because of jealousy, partly was because he wanted to use this opportunity to enforce the Qian Family"s power and influence so that only the five magnates were above him!
And now, he was unexpectedly kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce. It was impossible for him not to react!
“That"s true. Then, Bureau Chief, give us your orders.” Qian Guangzhao was a target of these people here since the start. Now that he was impeached, they naturally had to start preparing for the next course of action.
“The Qian Family is a prestigious family with hundreds of years of history, they will definitely have bank accounts in other countries.” The Bureau Chief slowly said, “Find out these bank accounts, freeze as many of them as possible. Qian Guangzhao colluded with the Jabanese and also has a close relations.h.i.+p with Merika. By right, we should have just captured him directly, but the consequences of that might be him sacrificing everything to cause big trouble for us too. Before we discover all of his hidden trump cards we mustn"t touch him, we must do everything in secret.”
Upon hearing the Bureau Chief"s words, his subordinates didn"t dare to believe what they heard. A person asked, “Bureau Chief, the Qian Family is only a business family, it shouldn"t be possible for their trump cards to be so powerful, right?”
“This is just a precaution.” The Bureau Chief slowly said, “According to our original plan, after everything succeeded, we just have to let Hong Weiguo deal with him. But now there are changes to the plan. Therefore, we must be careful about this. Being cautious is never wrong.”
“Understood!”
Tianhai City southern part, w.a.n.gxiang Mountain garden villa district.
Being a prestigious family that had existed for several hundreds of years, the Qian Family had naturally bought a villa in Tianhai City to use as a resort.
The most important thing about villas that were worth more than hundreds of millions was the land where they were built. Within the w.a.n.gxiang Mountain garden district lied its most important value. The villas there had good Chinese geomancy, built against the mountain and facing the river. Besides the villas were the garden viewing attraction, two five-star hotels, and the largest botanic garden in Tianhai City. Just this piece of land was already worth hundreds of millions.
Being a prestigious family that was into the energy resources industry, the estate that the Qian Family bought here was definitely the most top-grade tailored villa. Last time, Qian Guangzhao had his eyes on the land here and finally built a villa after choosing from three to five construction projects. The total worth of the villa was about 120 million.
But now, in this villa which could be considered the best in the entire Heavenly State, the atmosphere was almost frozen. Everyone had worried faces, and the air was depressing and gloomy.
“Dad, our Qian Family has also been impeached!?” At this moment, Qian Youjin"s face was filled with fear and shock. He nervously said, “What should we do now, what should we do!?”
The other family members present were also shaking. They were all quite clear of the consequences of being impeached by the Chamber of Commerce.
Even though the Qian Family was large and wealthy, they wouldn"t be able to withstand even half a month of hara.s.sment!
“You rascal, you lose your calm so easily!” Qian Guangzhao suddenly turned around and slapped Qian Youjin. He scolded. “Isn"t it just being impeached? What are you so afraid of? The Qian Family is hundred of years old, what kind of situation haven"t we encountered before?”
“Dad, but…” Qian Youjin was stunned after being slapped by his father. He clasped his face and said, “What should we do, then? I don"t want to become poor, I don"t want to be poor! Even if there is really no other way, why don"t we learn from Hong Weiguo and reorganize our company and just retain the most useless ones…”
“You good-for-nothing piece of s.h.i.+t, how did I have such a useless son like you!” Qian Guangzhao angrily sat down on the sofa and scolded. “Reorganize the company? Are you able to find someone reliable enough to entrust the company to? Who do you think is suitable? If I dare to split the company into a few parts now, I will be left with nothing in less than three days!”
Qian Guangzhao was different from Hong Weiguo, after all. Hong Weiguo had Hong Dali to rely on, so he wasn"t afraid that Mu Tie and Liu Yihui would betray him. After all, they were all very well aware of Hong Dali"s capability, so Hong Weiguo wasn"t afraid to entrust his company to them at all.
But what about Qian Guangzhao? What did he have? The useless Young Master Qian Youjin? If he handed over the company to someone else, he would definitely lose it immediately. He would then end up even worse!
“Then what should we do?” Qian Youjin nervously said, “We can"t just sit here and wait for our death!”
“The more I look at you, the angrier I get!” Qian Guangzhao scolded again and waved his hand. “All of you go out first. Unless I call, no one is allowed to enter!”
“Yes, Master.” Upon hearing Qian Guangzhao"s words, the other family members all retreated. Shortly later, only Qian Guangzhao and his son were left in the living room.
“Youjin, listen carefully!” Qian Guangzhao said in a deep voice, “Our Qian Family is a hundred years old family. Because you weren"t capable enough, there"s a lot of things that I never told you before. But now, it"s time for me to tell you so you can be prepared.”
“I… I…” Qian Youjin was dazed for a while and hurriedly focused his attention to listen carefully.
Very obviously, his father was going to tell him a big secret!
“Being hundreds of years old, we naturally had to be prepared to face all kinds of situations!” Qian Guangzhao slowly said, “Hong Weiguo have loyal allies, I admit I lose to him at that. However, our Qian Family also has a hidden trump card, and that is the resources that we have acc.u.mulated over the years!”
Acc.u.mulation of recourses. For super prestigious families such as the Qian Family, the manpower, finance, connections, and network that they built over this long period of time was definitely very terrifying!
Even though the Qian Family was impeached and was about to be encircled by the Chamber of Commerce, so there would be a lot of connections, finance, and resources that they couldn"t use, even without all these, the other resources that the Qian Family acc.u.mulated were still ma.s.sive!
“Youjin, listen carefully now!” Qian Guangzhao said, “Our Qian Family has a lot of special accords in all the major banks overseas. Now that we are being impeached by the Chamber of Commerce, our fixed a.s.sets are definitely not reclaimable anymore. Therefore, we must forgo them. This is to cut our losses.”
“Now, go and prepare to leave. Throw away all the useless stuff and just bring a small luggage. You shall immediately board the plane to Swizerland, there will be someone picking you up there. Our Qian Family has a special bank account there, there"s about six billion emergency cash left inside.”
“As for the other family members, they are definitely unable to leave in such a short time. Therefore, I will stay behind in Heavenly State to negotiate with the Nation in order to buy time for them! Humph, it isn"t so easy to bring down our Qian Family!”
Having heard Qian Guangzhao"s words, Qian Youjin said in surprise, “Dad, do we still have anything left to be able to talk conditions with the Nation? If you stay behind…”
“Nonsense, of course I still have bargaining chips left! If I didn"t gain anything from the Toyoda Conglomerate, why would I have worked for them? Also, we have been keeping a close relations.h.i.+p with Merika since a long time ago. It"s time to put it to use!” With a malicious smile on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, “I didn"t want to make this move, but since things have already come to this, there"s no point withholding it back anymore!”
“This…” Since Qian Guangzhao still had other bargaining chips to use, Qian Youjin didn"t ask anymore. He decisively nodded and said, “Since that"s the case, I shall go and prepare now. I will be ready to leave in 10 minutes.” Before he left, Qian Youjin took a deep look at Qian Guangzhao. Eyes red, he said, “Dad, be careful, if there is really no other way, just surrender to them. I don"t want something to happen to you…”
“You gutless coward!” Qian Guangzhao angrily jumped to his feet. “Get out of my face! Just seeing your face annoys me!”
