Starting from the Beginning, American Tycoon

Is it cool to transmigrate to South America? Zhu Xianhai's answer is: it's very cool.

After all, 19th-century South America is still a place where cowards vie for hegemony, a land ful...

Chapter 1653 Instinct Reaction (Second update, please subscribe)

"How dare they!"

A roar was heard from the main residence of the Wang family in Zhongdu. A woman in her sixties roared in an almost crazy voice.

"How dare they kill my son."

"Ma'am, the Australian police report said that the young master died of a heart attack."

Before he could finish, the woman pushed down the blue and white porcelain vase from the Wanli period on the shelf. With a crisp sound, the antique worth millions turned into pieces.

The servants standing around were all trembling slightly and lowered their heads.

"Heart disease. Ping'er is in good health. How could she have a heart disease?"

The woman's eyes flashed with a fierce look and said.

"It must be someone in the palace who did this. They just can't tolerate Ping'er. What happened to Ping'er? Didn't he just make a few mistakes? He's still a child. Why can't they let him off..."

After that, the woman yelled again.

"I want to go to the palace and ask the emperor for an explanation. Our Wang family has been loyal for generations, and our ancestors were also loyal to the country..."

While speaking, the woman even cried out towards the oil painting hanging on the wall.

"Grandfather, look at this. This is the royal family. This is how the royal family treats our prince. Grandfather, you shed blood for the Ming Dynasty..."

In the portrait, Wang Youling is just looking into the distance. If he were still alive, I wonder what he would think if he saw his descendants behaving like this.

Of course, he couldn't see this either. He could never know that one day one of his descendants would betray the royal family.

Whether or not he did it intentionally, his actions betrayed the royal family.

Just then, the phone rang suddenly. The woman picked up the phone and immediately spoke.

"Sister-in-law, you must make the decision for me. Ping'er died unjustly..."

Before she finished her words, the person on the other end of the phone spoke.

"Madam Wang, my husband has had someone sell the company's shares, and he asked me to inform you."

"What, sister-in-law, how could you do this, sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."

The woman suddenly exploded.

"Mr. Cheng, what do you mean by selling the stocks at this time? Those stocks were left to us by our ancestors. How could you do this..."

But the person on the other end of the phone didn't explain anything and just hung up.

Listening to the blind tone, the woman was suddenly stunned, and she realized the problem - everyone was cutting!

Just like she threw her son out in order to cut ties, and now, everyone is selling their shares in the same way.

Why do they have to cut it off? To put it bluntly, it is for self-protection. They don't want the trouble caused by Ping'er to burn themselves.

"What did Ping'er do to make the palace so relentless? Dean Xu suddenly had an accident, and now Ping'er..."

The woman suddenly felt a cold sweat on her back. In an instant, she seemed to understand something and quickly picked up the phone.

"Hey, Lin'er, the company is going to be ruined. Remember, no matter what, don't save it. We can't save it..."

Anyone in a certain position has a clear understanding of themselves, and this is why they can survive to this day.

Sometimes, it’s not a question of whether to keep it or not, but some things must disappear from this world.

In the next few days, major shareholders of Umbrella Corporation dumped their stocks one after another. As the company's stock price plummeted, tax authorities and prosecutors began to investigate the company and banned its shareholders from selling their stocks.

As for the chaebols, they are bound to have problems once they are investigated. Soon, the tax authorities discovered that the umbrella companies had evaded taxes of up to tens of billions of yuan over the years. Soon, the Imperial Tax Administration issued a fine of up to 80 billion yuan.

Faced with this huge fine, not only did Umbrella Corporation go bankrupt overnight, but in addition to tax evasion, it was also found to have engaged in insider trading and other crimes. Even the drugs it manufactured were involved in a trial fraud scandal. According to the relevant laws of the Empire, once confirmed, it will inevitably face huge claims, and its shareholders will also face unlimited joint and several liability. This means that while Umbrella Corporation goes bankrupt, its major shareholders will also pay an extremely heavy price, and may even go bankrupt. After all, the Empire's drug claims have always been known to be huge.

The once giant collapsed.

When a crane took down the red and white umbrella logo on the Umbrella Corporation building, reporters from TV stations used cameras to record this moment. After all, this company is the same age as the empire. It was founded by Emperor Shizu, but now it has collapsed overnight. How can people not sigh over this?

While reporters were reporting this in various tones, in the coffee shop opposite the company, Zhu Xianhai was quietly watching this scene, drinking coffee from time to time. In fact, he was also saying goodbye to the company he had created.

"Did you plan all this?"

Ma Bangde was so shocked that he could no longer describe his shock. He really couldn't understand how the "Faceless Man" was so powerful that he could not only get rid of Wang Songping, but also cause a chaebol to collapse in an instant.

"It's all just an instinctive reaction."

Zhu Xianhai said directly.

"What?"

"After Wang Songping's death, some people realized that they had to make the cut."

Putting down the coffee cup, Zhu Xianhai looked at Ma Bangde.

"At the same time, the Imperial Taxation Bureau received a report that the Umbrella Company had been evading taxes for many years, and the Imperial Food, Drug, and Firearms Bureau also received a report that its drug test reports were falsified because no one stood up for it... Then, you can see that the huge fines for tax evasion can bankrupt the company, and drug claims will be traced back to its individual shareholders, and once wealthy people may go bankrupt because of this."

After a pause, Zhu Xianhai said.

"So, it's all over."

"It's as good as nothing."

Ma Bangde asked directly.

"Just tell me whether you planned this, including Wang Songping's death!"

"If I say no, will you believe me?"

“I don’t believe it!”

Ma Bangde said directly.

“Only you have such great energy!”

"I said, this is just an instinctive reaction."

"Whose instinctive reaction is that?"

Zhu Xianhai did not continue to explain, because he knew very well whose instinctive reaction it was. It was not just the instinctive reaction of one person, but the instinctive reaction of a group - the bureaucratic group of the empire.

It was this group that was doing the cutting, and it was their way of telling the Emperor that they had nothing to do with it.

So Wang Songping died, and so the Umbrella Corporation ceased to exist.

They must use thunderous means to show their loyalty to the emperor. Of course, only they have the ability to do so.

Suddenly, Mabond said.

"You mean, the mastermind hasn't been found out yet?"

His question made Zhu Xianhai laugh and said.

“So many shady things!”

Then he stood up and left. When he stood up and left, Catherine, who was sitting at the head table, followed him.

As a personal bodyguard, she couldn't help but wonder.

"It's really not you?"

"I said no, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it,"

Catherine's answer made Zhu Xianhai laugh.

"That's good..."
