Chapter 304: The Alliance of the Jealous

In the eastern section of Montgomery Street, known as the Wall Street of the West, there is a very grand Fortunes Plaza. The headquarters of the Tang Bank is located here, and together with the Transamerica Pyramid, they are the two most iconic buildings in San Francisco. Unlike the Transamerica Pyramid, which is no longer owned by the Transamerica Group, Wells Fargo Plaza is still owned by the Oriental Bank Corporation.

The Oriental Bank Corporation headquarters is a skyscraper that is 150 metres high. On the 34th floor of the building is the shareholders' meeting room of the Oriental Bank Corporation. It is only 9am people started to enter the meeting room one after the other, and then numerous arguments broke out in the room like a market.

This was not the first day of the Tangren Bank's shareholders' meeting. Since the bank's vice chairman, Tang An, demanded a thorough investigation of the bank's accounts a week ago, every day's meeting has turned the meeting room into a lively market. As soon as the door is pushed open, the noise of a crowd of 10,000 ducks comes rushing in, as if you could be pushed out the door at any moment.

Inside the meeting room was arranged in an auditorium style, with the core members of the family and the board of directors, including Tang Ranshan, Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huining, seated on the podium. Tang An was in the first row below on the right, standing and shouting something, waving his arms from time to time.

'Everyone, I hope everyone understands that the foundation of the Tang Bank is to invest within the limits of the law, whether it is for our investments, our depositors or customers, and even our employees are Americans, then we are a truly American bank, including what we say and use every day is also English.'

Tang An then said, 'Now, one of our directors, Tang Yu, actually used the bank's funds to engage in the smuggling of high-tech weapons to support the Gulf War. This is forcing us to stand against the federal government!'

Tang An opened arms trafficking. Otherwise if the FBI discovers something and starts investigating the bank or taking other procedures, which in turn affects the normal business of the bank and causes the stock price to fall, then everyone's wealth will shrink drastically!'

At this point Tang An deliberately paused before finally asking, 'So are you all willing to give up your wealth to go with Tang Yu to the grave?'

Following Tang An words, the shareholders sitting on his right all yelled and cursed after him, 'Let that Tang Yu die, we are absolutely not willing to lose even a single cent for this! Our investments investments are for the development of the bank, to get our own corresponding income, not to save an abominable war criminal, especially this war criminal also let me lose more than 10,000 U.S. dollars in the oil futures market!'

Some even aimed directly at Tang Ran and the Tang family: 'I see it as a problem of the Tang family. Tang Bank is a modern bank, but it still uses the same old-fashioned family system from the past. This is a very ridiculous and bizarre approach, and it is also for this reason that it has produced a war criminal like Tang Yu! There is also a young chairman in his early twenties. I can't imagine how this disgusting story could have come about.'

Someone else shouted, 'So we are very suspicious of the current ownership of the Tang Bank. I suspect that all of our investments have been sunk to the bottom of the sea by you. Therefore, I question and demand that the Tang family give up the Tang Bank and let more capable people manage it!'

Listening to the the sound of a roar, Tong An's mouth could not help but smile. The shareholders in front of him were basically his people. Even if they weren't before, after this week's meeting, everyone else had been developed into his loyal followers.

This democratic and

(this chapter is not finished, please turn the page) was really good, and it gave him the opportunity to incite so many supporters.

Looking around , a large area behind him was filled with shareholders shouting abuse at him. Although there were also many opposition groups arranged by the Tang Group on the left, they were completely overwhelmed and were of no use at all.

Looking up at Tang Ran and Tang Jingsheng, who were seated on the dais, Tang An hated them with a vengeance, because originally, twenty years ago, his father was the one with the best prospects of becoming the clan chief, but then suddenly, out of nowhere, Tang Jingrong appeared and stole the position from him.

It was also because this reason, it directly led to the change in the order of inheritance, and he was pushed out of the top ten. Because the top ten heirs had all died, it was equivalent to basically losing the right to inherit, basically lost the right to inherit, so even if you try your best later, you can only get a maximum of 10% of the shares, but that inexplicable Tang Ran, went directly to San Francisco and got 30% of the shares, what is the basis for this?

Tang An's heart was filled with rage, hating those guys on the podium. He was seething with hatred, but then he let go.

It doesn't matter, let you gloat for a while longer. I already have support. With my abilities and my ability to rally people, I can bring down the entire Tang Dynasty Bank. Either you dutifully investigate that woman Tang Ran and the entire Tang Dynasty Bank, or you dutifully watch the Tang family split apart.

Oh yes, Even an investigation is not that simple, because I will definitely cause problems with this investigation, and I will definitely pull Tang Ran down from the throne of the patriarch!

Damn family family, what does a young girl in her early twenties know about banks and companies and how to make decisions? She is manipulated by those old guys, so it's better to give it to me.

Tang An thought and laughed maniacally: 'I'd rather be the head of a small family than the tail of a big one. I'd rather wait for the Tang family to collapse and become the chairman of Tang's Bank myself, and the head of my own Tang family line, than have a pitiful 10% of the shares. I deserve more!

At that moment, the chairman came from the stage, and Tang Huiyin said to him, 'Tang An, whether it's your request to thoroughly investigate the company's accounts or any other request, the board of directors has not refused to agree to it. It's just that your request is too excessive for the company to agree to.'

As soon as Tang Huiyin's had barely finished, Tang An immediately retorted, 'What do you mean by "excessive demands"? As a shareholder of the company, don't I have the right to check the company's accounts? Or is there some kind of ulterior motive? I'm just asking you to investigate a little more thoroughly!'

As Tang An asking, the others behind him shouted in unison: 'That's right, as shareholders of the Tang Bank, we have the right to know everything!'

Although it was it was not the first time he had been in a meeting with these people, but in the face of the uproar from the audience, it still gave Tang Jingsheng a headache.

He held up his hand to indicate that everyone should be quiet. Then he said, 'Of course you have the right to know everything, but thorough investigations must be carried out step by step. You cannot just demand to see all the documents immediately. Besides, there are a lot of bank secrets that cannot be disclosed. However, we can all guarantee that Tang Dynasty Bank has never been involved in any smuggling or war-related activities.'

As a response to Tang Jingsheng's answer, the audience booed: 'What a load of crap. Is there anything else that can't be made public? I think evidence of your bribery and crimes, that's why it can't be made public. Maybe there is also a lot of skulduggery in Tang Ran's succession as chairman. Otherwise, what right does a young girl in her early twenties have to run Tang Bank?'

Tang An enjoyed the the hissing, Tang An felt very enjoyable. He looked up at Tang Jingsheng and said, 'As for me, I really want to believe you,

(this chapter is not yet finished, please turn the page), but I'm sorry, we simply don't see any sincerity from you.'

The people around followed by Tang An, who added, 'You're right. Whether you investigate the accounts thoroughly or remove that woman from office, you have to do something. You can't just sit there like idiots and watch. That just makes us doubt your intelligence!'

Tang Jingsheng lightly pounded the table: 'These damn guys!'

There was nothing Tang Ran could do but speak up: 'Please remain calm. I know everyone is very unhappy about Tang Yu's situation, but I want to say that everything happens in an instant, but it takes a long time to solve. And As a mega-bank group with a scale of trillions of dollars, any decision made by the Tang Dynasty Bank is very important and affects the whole. We must be responsible to all investors and our depositors...'

Tang Ran's words were been interrupted by a round of boos from the audience: 'What the fuck are you responsible for? If you're going to be responsible, you have to be responsible to us first. We are all shareholders of the Tangren Bank. We are now demanding a thorough investigation of the bank's accounts. We are now demanding that you get out of the Tangren Bank!'

'Originally, our Tang Bank of Tang had been standing in San Francisco for so many years without incident, but ever since you came here, there have been all kinds of problems. You're a jinx!'

Someone started cursing, and someone else chimed in, 'She's not just a jinx, I think she's actually Daji, sent here to harm Bank of Tang! And what right does she can become the chairman of the board? I also doubt it. Is she having an illicit relationship with someone else? She got there by the back door!'

As the name calling continued, the content became more and more outrageous: 'The back door? I think you're to underestimate our female chairman. I'm afraid she has let people through all kinds of doors, and there have been a lot of people through, more than on the Golden Gate Bridge! And that Tang Yu, who knows what's going on, might just be supporting our female chairman!

Hearing the filthy unbearable words, Tang Ran felt very angry and aggrieved. She had clearly risen to her position through her own strength and the support of Zhou Ming, but how could they see her that way? Did their minds fill with nothing but that kind of thing?

Although Tang Ran knew in her heart knew perfectly well that these people would abuse her like this, but it was because of their jealousy of her, of the fact that she had been able to get a controlling interest in Tang Bank at such a young age, and they hadn't.

For this reason they banded together. First Tang An, then Tang An leading the others, formed an alliance of the jealous. But Tang Ran knew that they were simply hurling abuse for the sake of it, to vent their jealousy, and that each nasty insult showed that they had the quality of being born without a father. However, those insulting words still pierced her heart like steel needles, making her want to cry very much.

However, as the chairman of the Tangren chairman of the Tang Bank, absolutely must not cry, at least not on this occasion, not in front of these scumbags below, otherwise they would only think that they are weak and can be bullied, and they would become even more vicious. As for pity or sympathy, these emotions simply do not exist in them. They will just follow the crowd without any humanity.

So Tang Ran could only clench her silver teeth and suppress the emotions in her heart. After all, she had endured it for so many days and didn't care anymore.

But at this moment, suddenly a loud voice rang out: 'Shut the hell up!'

The voice sounded like an explosion, instantly blowing everyone away. Then everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a medium-built Chinese man holding a loudspeaker walk in.

When she saw him come in, finally flowed out of her eyes. But she didn't cry, she smiled, because this was Zhou Ming.
