Chapter 301: A Stupid Way?

If it wasn't a really important matter, Zhou Ming wouldn't have hurried back from Iraq. However, it seems that things here are even more serious than they were a day ago.

Zhou Ming would not jump to conclusions just because of Tang Ran's words. After all, in Zhou Ming's eyes, Tang Ran was just a silly little girl. Even though she had taken over her father but she still knows nothing. The Tang family is such a heavyweight family with a history of over 150 years and is also the core family of the California consortium. How could it collapse so easily?

What really made Zhou Ming make his judgment was the person standing behind Tang Ran. Needless to say, Lin Muqing, Tong Gang, and Li Cheng were here, as well as Tang Jingsheng, the head of the Tang Clan Ancestral Hall, the most important woman in the clan, Tang Huiyin, and Tang Yi, Tang Wan'er, and Tang Lin were all here, and even Steve Jobs was here. Since these people were here, the bodyguards around them were very conscious of isolating everyone, as if they had created a human barrier in the crowd.

It was also because so many important people were here to greet them that it was obvious what was going on. If nothing had changed drastically, they would not have been so bored as to play such a prank.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Zhou Ming did not rush to say anything, but instead let Lin Muqing take everyone back to the hotel in the car and sit down in the meeting room when they arrived.

In fact, in this meeting room, with his seniority and experience, Zhou Ming only sat in the middle, but everyone's attention was subtly focused on him. No wonder, after all, if they had a solution, Zhou Ming wouldn't have returned in such a hurry.

Zhou Ming then asked everyone, 'Sister Muqing, what's the situation now? When you called me before, didn't you just say that Tang Yu had been arrested by the FBI? How did it turn out that the entire Tang family is now in crisis?'

In response to Zhou Ming's question, Tang Jingsheng volunteered to answer: 'Let me explain. It is true that Tang Yu was the only one investigated by the FBI, but then Tang An called a shareholders' meeting of Tang Bank and demanded a thorough investigation of the bank's recent business recent business for thorough investigation, so as to prevent Tongren Bank from also attracting treason investigations. His proposal was supported by the majority of the bank's shareholders, and they indicated that if it was not implemented, they would initiate the removal process against Tang Ran.'

Zhou Ming stared blankly at Tang Jingsheng and asked, 'What is this Tang An?'

Tang Jingsheng felt a little embarrassed in the face of this question: 'He is also a member of the Tang clan ancestral hall association, owns 10% of the shares of Tang Bank, and also owns an internet technology industry and an insurance company. He is a relatively powerful branch of the family. Usually he relies on his influence over Tang Yin Bank to take care of the children of other families, so his call can still get a lot of support, especially...'

Tang Jingsheng looked at Tang Ran at the end of his speech, looking very hesitant. Zhou Ming understood his meaning at once, so he picked up the conversation and said, 'Especially for Tang Ran, right?'

Tang Jingsheng nodded in agreement. Zhou Ming sighed inwardly. Just as he had expected, although the Tang family had someone like Tang Jingsheng who adhered to the ancestral rules and insisted on electing the most capable clan leader, there were still some people who would think that Tang They felt that Tang Ran had come from the mainland to seize their assets, and therefore harboured resentment towards Tang Ran, who had inherited the property in the end, just as Tang Yu had done in the beginning.

In fact, to be this is a psychological imbalance from their own perspective. They have already regarded the Tang family as their own property, thinking that Tang Ran and her father are just there to enjoy the benefits. They are not aware of how much help they can bring to the family, and more importantly, the development of the family can also lead to their better

(this chapter is not end, please turn the page) development. They cannot see the benefits that the ancestral teachings have brought them, nor can they see that their current industry has been brought to them by these 'unfair' ancestral teachings. They will only blindly resent them.

It is precisely the fact that they have been harbouring such resentment, they were afraid to act rashly in the past because of the family rules weighing on their shoulders, but now that Tang An has given the call to arms, naturally these people have all jumped out.

Of course, if it would be best to just follow the Tang family rules, the problem is that this is in the United States, which symbolises the rule of law and freedom, where everything is subject to the law, regardless of the Tang family rules. Therefore, that as long as the Tang family has every right to bypass the family rules and directly file a lawsuit in court to demand the removal of Tang Ran as chairman.

The consequence of doing so would be to break with the Tang family, because no matter where Tang Ran comes from, she has at least now been recognised by the ancestral hall clan association as the head of the Tang family. To remove her as president now would be no different than fighting against the family to remove the clan leader.

So if if Tong An's actions are supported in accordance with California law, the fact that Tong An dares to do so proves that someone must be able to manipulate this lawsuit, and ultimately force the removal of Tong Ran as the chairman of Tang Bank. In this way Tang Ran's prestige and appeal would have to be maintained by Tang Bank. Now that this is gone, Tang Ran can take a back seat, and what remains is the strength of the family that speaks.

Originally, the family The rules for selecting the heir were meant to prevent this from happening. Tang Jingsheng, in order to uphold the ancestral teachings, must support Tang Ran and fight to the end against the faction led by Tang An. This will cause internal division within the Tang family, and this is the goal of Tang An or the forces behind him. Jingsheng Tang a headache, on the contrary, for Tang An, he can be more reckless.

'I sent someone to investigate who was behind it, but so far I haven't got a clue,' Tang Jingsheng said 'Not to brag, but my intelligence system is very powerful throughout California. But now I have borrowed a lot of special police powers, but there is still no result. So I can conclude that this time, it must be an extraordinary force.'

Zhou Ming expressed great understanding. We must remember that Tang Ran, the patriarch of the Tang clan who relies on Tang Bank to exert influence, currently only owns 30% of the shares in Tang Bank, while Tang An owns 10%.

It is easy to imagine his position in the Tang clan. So to make such an important figure in the Tang family do such a thing, then the power behind him can be imagined. It's not just how strong it is, but it's definitely not going to be simple. If the other party really doesn't want to come forward, then with Tang Jingsheng's energy, naturally it will be impossible to find out.

'So at are there any movements in other consortia or families?' Zhou Ming asked.

Tang Jingsheng shook his head: 'At present, the time since the incident is still too short, and all consortia and families are still in a wait-and-see mode.'

This is not surprising, since if the opponent could plan such a devious trick of splitting up the family, then they shouldn't be so impatient as to jump in before the situation became clear.

Zhou Ming then changed the subject and asked, 'So what was the cause of the whole thing? Was it because Tang Yu was arrested by the FBI?'

Tang Jingsheng nodded and nodded, then looked at Zhou Ming before continuing, 'Because someone reported that Tang Yu supported the Kingston Laboratory of the Skunk Factory and was suspected of smuggling and selling high-tech weapons to Iraq during the Gulf War, Tong Yuk will be investigated on 78 charges including treason, war crimes and smuggling. Tong An also used this as an excuse to suspect that the Tang Bank supported

(this chapter is not end, please turn the page) Tong Yu's war smuggling activities, so he demanded an investigation of the accounts of Tang Yin Bank.'

'Emotions are I've caused trouble again,' Zhou Ming said with a smile. 'I did support the war in Iraq, but Tang Ran wasn't involved. If they want to investigate, let them.'

'At first I thought the same thing at first, but when I asked Tang Ran to cooperate with the accounting firm to check the accounts, I found that many of the Tang family's business had been secretly sold and transferred to the name of an investment bank controlled by Tang An through an overseas company. Only then did I understand that the so-called audit was just an excuse, and his real goal was to split the family!'

At this point Tang Jingsheng let out a heavy sigh: 'How I wish his goal was simply to check the accounts, and simply not to involve the Tang family in the judicial investigation of treason. But the problem is that this is not his goal.'

'So at you don't know who is behind all this, what their objective is, or how things will develop next, do you?' asked Zhou Ming.

'So we are in a rather passive situation,' said Tang Jingsheng.

'Then there one question, how did the FBI find out that Tang Yu was smuggling arms to Iraq?' Zhou Ming asked.

Tang Jingsheng replied, 'I've looked into it, and it was a tip-off from an organisation called the Shark Club to the FBI. This Shark Club was a gang set up by the French, with thousands of members.'

'Then it it's simple. First, we will provide the FBI and the police with evidence of the Shark Club's crimes, so that they can do the same to the Shark Club. We will also let the police destroy their dens and industries and seized their people; then they went after Tang An's businesses, cutting off his funding supply chain at the Tangren Bank and then taking down the companies in his name,' said Zhou Ming.

With Zhou Ming's words words, everyone froze, looking at Zhou Ming in disbelief.

Facing a circle of of stunned faces, Zhou Ming curiously asked, 'Is there a problem?'

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Tang Huiyin stepped forward and said, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, the methods you mentioned are not difficult, but shouldn't the urgent task now be to find the culprit as soon as possible?'

Tang Huiyin's words be met with unanimous approval from everyone else, but Zhou Ming asked in return, 'Can you find him?'

This sentence left everyone Everyone was speechless. Zhou Ming continued, 'I know this is a solution, and I also know that the so-called Hai Shao Hui and Tang An are just puppets put on stage by the other party. the real mastermind is still hiding in the shadows, eating melon seeds and watching the show. Of course, catching this mastermind is the most fundamental solution to the problem. Otherwise, whether it is the Shark Club or Tang An, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.'

Zhou Ming said here suddenly changed his tone and said, 'But the problem is that our enemy is too cunning. It is difficult for us to expose him from the shadows in a short period of time, but we can't do nothing about it. So sorry, we can only take Hai Shark Club and Tang An as scapegoats.'

'Aren't they the puppets puppets? Aren't they relying on someone backing them up? Then we'll just beat them to death and the people behind them backing them up can come out and back them up if they dare. If they don't have the guts, they can just continue to be cowards!' Zhou Ming said.

'But if the people behind the scenes arrange for more Hai Shao Hui and Tang An?' Tang Jingsheng asked.

'One one kills one, two kill a pair, and when we have cut off the hands and feet that stick out, I don't know what he can do. He might as well jump out and fight naked!' Zhou Ming said firmly.
