Zhang Yujie, Looking Down on All as He Moves Unhindered
In this situation, regardless of whether Zhang Yuliang can escape, he will be pushed out by the Zhang Family to be a scapegoat, and there is no chance of him turning things around.
"You also think I'd be a scapegoat? To swallow my pride, get a scolding from my family, and then be sent to prison for a short term on whatever charge, to cover up this turmoil in the Zhang Family?" Zhang Yuliang flicked his cigarette ash. "That's the second reason I came to see you. I'm here on behalf of the Zhang Family to discuss this matter."
Song Tianyao immediately became interested, sat up straight, and looked at Zhang Yuliang: "You represent the Zhang Family?"
"The Zhang Family's European Coast Company holds the distribution rights for seven pharmaceutical companies in the United States, Switzerland, the Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, and other countries in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. I want to transfer these distribution rights to Likang. What kind of price can Secretary Song offer me?" Zhang Yuliang said to Song Tianyao.
Song Tianyao was taken aback. "Agency rights? This kind of contract isn't something a fourth young master of the Zhang Family can decide on his own. Even if your eldest brother is out of touch with the times, he still has legal contracts with those companies."
"The Zhang Family spends millions of Hong Kong dollars every year to feed the heads of these seven pharmaceutical companies' Hong Kong offices. Doesn't that count as commercial bribery? Isn't commercial bribery a breach of contract? Doesn't violating the United Nations Embargo Order and smuggling prohibited goods violate international law? These are all reasons why those seven pharmaceutical companies could terminate their contracts." Zhang Yuliang lightly pointed to his chest, his tone full of determination. "I can make those seven pharmaceutical companies' staff or their families involved in such scandals."
Damn it, Zhang Yuliang has gone mad.
When Song Tianyao saw Zhang Yuliang's seemingly calm but actually crazed eyes, this sentence actually came to mind.
How much hatred must Zhang Laosi harbor for this family to do something like this? And what did he just say? These scandals were exposed by family members or employees, and this guy has absolutely deep and close connections with the families or female employees of seven pharmaceutical companies? How long has Zhang Laosi been planning this? When I first discovered Zhang Yuliang's stock index manipulation, I thought that at most, the other three Zhang Family would be pushed out as scapegoats, and Zhang Yuliang taking over the Zhang Family's business would be enough. Now it seems that if Zhang Yuliang really succeeds, it won't just be three members of the Zhang Family being pushed out, but the entire Zhang Family will cease to exist. He can easily transfer the agency rights to his own registered pharmaceutical company, start afresh, and become the head of the Hong Kong pharmaceutical industry himself.
"Even if those companies terminate the Zhang Family's agency rights, it won't necessarily benefit Likang." Song Tianyao uttered a pointless remark amidst his shock.
In fact, if Likang had received this news in advance, and with the help of the Foreign Devil Shek Chi-yik, and given Likang's newly established charitable reputation in Hong Kong and the Chu Family's abundant funds, it would have been easy for them to secure these agency rights. The reason Song Tianyao said this nonsense was because he really didn't know what to say to Zhang Laosi, who was already resorting to any means to overthrow the Zhang Family.
Zhang Yuliang knew that Song Tianyao was just saying that casually, and he continued, "Five million HSBC check. After I finish this, and see the Zhang Family fall apart, I'll immediately return to the United States."
"Young Master Liang, you seem to have overlooked one issue: I am really just a secretary. Ultimately, such an important matter should be decided by the Chu Family." Song Tianyao took two deep breaths, his face showing excitement as he spoke.
Zhang Yuliang smiled at Song Tianyao, "Chu Xiaoxin won't do it, you can make him. He trusts you so much."
"I'll go see Chairman Chu Yaozong tonight, and I'll definitely give you an answer before noon tomorrow. This is something Young Master Shun n't decide on your own." Song Tianyao picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Young Master Liang, your move was truly brilliant."
Zhang Yuliang stood up from across the room, turned, and walked outside. "I'll come see you again tomorrow at noon. I'll make sure the Chu Family thinks things through and calculates things clearly. Five million—what a huge mountain of gold they bought!"
Song Tianyao personally escorted Zhang Yuliang out of the gate of Likang Company, watching as Zhang Yuliang hailed a taxi and left.
After Zhang Yuliang left, Song Tianyao returned to his office and stared blankly at the teacup that Zhang Yuliang hadn't touched.
At this moment, in the next room, Zhang Yuqi, dressed in a black Zhongshan, came out accompanied by Chu Xiaozhong. He sat down in the seat that Zhang Yuliang had previously occupied, and like Song Tianyao, stared silently at the cup of tea in front of him.
"Mr. Yuqi, do you know that this cup of tea was prepared for you?" Song Tianyao looked up at Zhang Yuqi opposite him and asked.
Even Chu Xiaozhong behind him looked at this man, whom Ji Dongpu, He Shanheng and others called a talent fit for a king. He was only thirty years old this year, and at the age of twenty-three, he had already served as the head of the Economic Affairs Department of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Construction. In his spare time, he could also manage the department store business for his ailing father-in-law and make the department store the largest in Guangzhou. After getting off the plane, he came directly to see him and Song Tianyao. Zhang Yuqi, the second young master of the Zhang Family.
"Yuliang wanted to leave himself a way out, but he actually used such a childish method. I'm afraid Brother Chu and Secretary Song will find it laughable." Zhang Yuqi picked up the cup of tea that his younger brother hadn't touched, took a sip, and said casually.
Chapter 146 A Dazzling View of the Jade Zhang Yujie
As Feng Yichang and others were impatiently complaining in the conference room of the European Coast Company, outside the company's main entrance, Zhang Yulin led the way, and Zhang Yujie, wearing a trench coat, walked into the company accompanied by his female assistant A-Yin and bodyguard Cai Jianxiong.
From the moment he entered the conference room, the previously noisy and chaotic room immediately fell silent.
Zhang Yujie walked to the center of the boat-shaped conference table. Cai Jianxiong pulled out a chair for him, and A-Yin took off his overcoat and handed him a cigar. Zhang Yujie took the cigar and slowly lit it over a fire. The thick cigar smoke rose, blurring his cold and wooden face, making him seem both close to the others in the conference room and yet worlds apart.
Feng Yichang and the others stared in astonishment at Zhang Yujie, who had suddenly appeared. Most of them still had a bewildered expression on their faces. During the dinner last night, Zhang Yulin did not mention that Zhang Yujie would be returning to Hong Kong today. If they had known that he would be returning to Hong Kong today, not only would the ship be taken back by the shipowner, but even if the ship and cargo were seized by the Marine Police at sea, they would never have rushed to cause trouble at the European Coast Company.
