Chapter 310: I am threatening you

Tang Bank's headquarters building. After Tang An was driven away, the atmosphere in the shareholders' meeting room was very delicate. The jealous people who were just raging suddenly became confused. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

But this situation is not unexpected. After all, Tang An is their core. Whether it is opposing Tang Ran or demanding a thorough investigation of the bank, these suggestions were all instigated by Tang An. They are also used to following Tang An's following Tang An's lead. They would agree with whatever Tang An said, and now that Tang An had suddenly been driven out, they had lost their leader. They were suddenly like a flock of sheep that had lost its leader, at a loss and scattered.

Of course, apart from the fact that Tang An was the leader of all the jealous people, there was also a very important point, and that was that their approach was to gain a little advantage on the basis that their own interests were not harmed. What if their own purpose was achieved? Even if it didn't work, it didn't matter, right?

This is simply being unconcerned. Tang An followed Tang Ran's example and opposed Tang Ran, who she had never liked. Why had this young girl in her early twenties become the chairman of Tang Dynasty Bank? If they make a fuss, they will. Anyway, the law does not hold the masses responsible. Even if they are pursued, they will first find Tang An in trouble. You see, Tang An is a major shareholder with a 10% stake in Tang Dynasty Bank and an important figure in the Tang family. There can never be a problem with him.

But now that Tang An has been driven away, and they are made to face Zhou Ming and the Tang family directly, they refuse to do it. This is like those onlookers who are not afraid of trouble onlookers. You can tell them to make a scene, but if you ask them to face the police, they'll run faster than rabbits.

Zhou Ming had a good grasp of the current atmosphere. He could be seen tapping the table lightly and saying, 'Now that the idle and miscellaneous people have left, it means that our shareholders' meeting can officially begin. But before the meeting, there is something I still need to tell you, and that is about the video. It was indeed me who hired someone to record it, and I was also the one who asked San Francisco TV to broadcast it.'

When Zhou Ming said this, there was an instant uproar at the scene, and everyone was whispering in disbelief.

It wasn't that this event itself was particularly surprising, as many people had actually thought of it, but they couldn't figure out why Zhou Ming would just blurt it out in front of so many people.

Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin looked at Zhou Ming in surprise, and whispered to him why he had said that, as it was obviously not in line with their original script.

But Zhou Ming did not respond to them, but continued, 'I know you will be surprised and confused. That's okay, because next I will also tell you that the purpose of my doing so is to target that idle person who just left. As I said, I want the ten percent of the Tangren Bank's shares in his hands.'

If Zhou Ming's previous words only surprised everyone, then these words completely dumbfounded them.

What is this all about? Why is he saying this here? It doesn't seem to have much to do with today's meeting, does it?

These questions came to everyone's mind at the same time. Zhou Ming continued his astonishing speech: 'I know that you are all dissatisfied with Tang Ran becoming the chairman of Tang Dynasty Bank. You feel that only you are qualified for the job. That's why you keep causing trouble for her, using any absurd and outrageous excuse you can, as long as it's disgusting to others.

'I can understand you. After all, you are all shareholders of Tangren Bank, and you have been here much longer than Tang Ran. I would like to believe that you are doing this more for the future of Tangren Bank.'

Zhou Ming suddenly changed his tone here: 'But that's enough of this, because this kind of thing makes people feel disgusted!'

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene exploded once again, and everyone started discussing it with each other. The centre of attention was Zhou Ming, and no one could figure out how he dared say this in front of so many people. And what do you mean by offensive? You take yourself way too seriously!

'I know you're all very unconvinced. You'll think to yourself, 'Who the hell is this guy to say that? Right?''

Zhou Ming's words made everyone involuntarily nod their heads. Zhou Ming continued, 'I don't know how your relationship with Tang An is, and I don't know if you know that recently all the companies he invested in have been targeted. What I want to tell you is that I did it all, because what he did made me extremely disgusted.'

Zhou Ming smiled at this: 'In fact, I don't have any other meaning in saying all this to you here today. I'm just threatening you . Don't think that just because you're shareholders of Tang Yin Bank and there are so many of you, you can do whatever you like in front of Tang Ran. If you really have an idea, I don't mind fighting you to the bitter end with real guns!'

Arrogant ! So arrogant!

This was the only thought in everyone's mind at the moment, and their looks at Zhou Ming were full of anger. Even those who had originally stood on Tang Jingsheng's side were also dissatisfied with Zhou Ming's words, feeling that the young man had gone too far.

And in in the face of the anger of the whole audience, Zhou Ming was unmoved. He asked in return, 'Do you think I'm overbearing and domineering? I feel that you should first reflect on yourselves. It's only been a month since Tang Ran became the chairman of Tang Dynasty Bank, and in the true sense of the word she hasn't done anything yet. What makes you oppose her? Is it because she's young? Or because she's from the mainland?'

'No But in my opinion, shouldn't the true ability of a new leader be judged by giving her a period of time to prove herself? Not by someone's subjective judgment.'

Zhou Ming pointed his finger at the audience and said, 'Look at the things you've done. Obviously, the Tang Yu incident was an accident. The Tang family and even major wealthy families and consortia across the United States have been smuggling arms for years. Why should an investigation of the accounts of the Tang Bank be carried out just because Tang Yu was arrested? can you be more shameless in taking advantage of the situation?'

Facing Zhou Ming's questioning, many people below shamefully bowed their heads. Indeed, who has not engaged in arms smuggling? For businessmen, there is no such thing as justice. Even the President of the United States can start a war and sell weapons to both sides, so what is there that they cannot do?

Tang Yu Tang Yu's arrest was nothing more than a conspiracy, but they took advantage of the situation. Whether it was a thorough investigation of the accounts or something else, the target was Tang Ran. It was really shameless of them to target a girl in her twenties like this.

'No But I can forgive you, after all you were all incited by Tang An!' Zhou Ming said.

Many people let out a sigh of relief, but some people then reacted, 'What gives you the right to forgive us? what do we need you to forgive? You're really pushing it with this fake apology!

But then Zhou Ming's next sentence immediately captured their full attention: 'The most important thing for us right now is still Tangren Bank. We all hope that Tangren Bank's wealth will continue to grow. No one wants their wealth to shrink every day. I believe that the recent uproar caused by that video has already made you so depressed that you want to kill someone, right?'

The audience many people subconsciously nodded. Zhou Ming continued, 'So today I can tell you here very responsibly that the current decline of Tangren Bank is only temporary. Once we have dealt with the current problems, Tangren Bank will definitely take off even more! will be the luckiest, because you are all shareholders of Tangren Bank, and your wealth will also grow like crazy. All you have to do now is to remain calm and support Tangren!'

These sentence made everyone's eyes light up, and some people even couldn't help but raise their fists. Of course, some people were skeptical: 'What makes you make this promise?'

Zhou Ming smiled and replied to this question: 'Just because I can really come up with 70 billion to buy Tang An's shares, do you believe I will squander this 70 billion, or do you believe I will work hard to expand this 70 billion into 100 billion?'

Zhou Ming 's answer made everyone feel relieved. Some people even began to wonder why Tang An didn't just sell his shares to Zhou Ming quickly. He would only get more unlucky if he held on to them. It was really like standing in a toilet and not pooping!

Looking at the expressions of everyone below, Zhou Ming knew that he had passed the test today. After all, as shareholders of Tang Dynasty Bank, people who hold such a large sum of money in their hands are definitely not idiots. How could they not understand the rules of the Tang family and how Tang Ran came to power?

Okay , even if they don't know any of this, just one point, Tang Yu appears as a traitor, selling weapons to enemy countries, and yet he was released from the FBI, which had solid evidence, so you can see the strength behind the scenes.

Before they followed Tang An, simply because they wanted to control Tang Bank. Now that Zhou Ming is not going to touch them, they are also talking about accumulating even more wealth from Tang Bank. Tang An also clearly looks like he can't beat Zhou Ming. So everyone is here for the money, so why not just go after Tang An? He not his own son, grandson, or anything like that.

After saying all this, Zhou Ming returned the microphone to Tang Ran, who presided over this shareholders' meeting as the chairman of the board.

Of course , thanks to the groundwork laid by Zhou Ming beforehand, Tang Ran's meeting went very well, with no resistance at all and everything going smoothly.

It was only after the meeting had ended and they had returned to the lounge that Tang Jingsheng asked Zhou Ming, very troubled, 'If you had any ideas, why didn't you discuss them with us in advance?'

Zhou Ming understood that Tang Jingsheng was referring to the beginning of the meeting, when he had volunteered to say that the video was his work, and the provocative words he had said to them later.

To be honest In fact, Zhou Ming himself was well aware that it was very risky, but precisely because it was risky, it could not be discussed beforehand, because they might not risk the real risk of splitting the family to try something like this. Not everyone would have the same level of trust in themselves as Tang Ran, Lin Muqing, Su Han and the others.

However Zhou Ming could only think this in his heart, and on the surface, he had to pretend to be dumb and confused: 'Huh? The situation was so urgent at the time, and I didn't think Tang An would just leave. I just wanted to seize such a good opportunity, so there was no time to discuss it with you. I'm sorry.'

As for Zhou Ming's answer, Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin were full of black lines in their minds, and they only felt that their intelligence had been insulted.

You said you came up with it at the last minute, but how is that possible? Are you trying to fool a three-year-old? And if you really came up with it at the last minute, then you're really daring, aren't you? What if what if it really splits up? You, an outsider, can just walk away, but what about us? We still have to keep this family together!

They really wanted to give him a piece of their minds, but in the end they didn't. Firstly, Zhou Ming had already given them face, and secondly, and most importantly, the current situation could only continue to go better with Zhou Ming.

In this situation, Tang Jingsheng could only sigh and say, 'In that case, if there's a similar situation in the future, you must discuss it with us beforehand. After all, breaks are allowed during the general meeting.'

Zhou Ming smiled and said yes, but both parties understood that this was just an expression.
