Chapter 119: Internal Struggle within the Jiang Family
Jiang Tiantong's announcement of this news was enough to shock everyone.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Zhiming, who was the first to stand up and attack, opened his mouth in surprise.
Not long after, he showed a look of surprise. Although he quickly concealed it, it still couldn't escape Tang Shuo's eyes.
Tang Shuo sighed inwardly upon seeing this. He didn't need to judge Jiang Hongtao's abilities. Everyone who knew his deeds knew that the Jiang family's current prestige was naturally due to his existence.
But even after the death of such a powerful person, his relatives looked at him in such a way that it is really sad.
The other people in the living room also showed surprised expressions, and then whispers were heard.
After a while, the sound gradually weakened.
Jiang Tiantong looked at everyone and was about to ask something when the door of the living room was suddenly pushed open and two men walked in with serious expressions.
The two men looked to be of the same age, but the man walking in front had gray hair on his temples and looked weathered.
The man behind him still has black hair, perhaps because he takes good care of himself.
Tang Shuo had met the man behind him once before, and he had made a special effort to observe him. He was none other than Jiang Tiantong's fourth uncle, Jiang Kaiji.
Tang Shuo could probably guess the identity of the man walking in front. Anyone who could enter the Jiang family's living room at this time must be one of their own. Judging from Jiang Kaiji's ugly attitude towards the other party, this man with gray hair should be Jiang Tiantong's third uncle Jiang Yi.
These two people should be the strong opponents that Jiang Tiantong will face today. Maybe the drama of forcing the emperor to abdicate was instigated by them behind the scenes!
Jiang Yi walked in and said to everyone in a serious tone, "I just came back from out of town and went to pay my respects to my father. I hope I didn't miss any time."
Jiang Yi is the third son of Jiang Hongtao. He has been serving as the vice president of Jiang's Nanhong International Trade for many years.
He spent most of his time out in the field dealing with emergencies at some of the Jiang family's companies, and was also responsible for auditing the financial and system management loopholes of some of the companies. In other words, his job was somewhat similar to that of an inspector.
Jiang Zhiming immediately stood up and replied, "No, we haven't started yet."
Then the rest of the Jiang family spoke in agreement. Naturally, no one would say anything at this time. In fact, after Jiang Hongtao's death, Jiang Yi was the most senior person in the Jiang family.
Jiang Yi nodded, and he and Jiang Kaiji walked to the table and sat down. He said to Jiang Tiantong, "Tiantong, where are you guys at? Keep going."
This Jiang Yi is not simple, Tang Shuo shook his head.
After the other party came in and said only two words, he took the initiative in his own hands. And he happened to be Jiang Tiantong's elder. Jiang Tiantong had no choice but to go along with him.
"Grandpa already told me about his funeral before he passed away." Jiang Tiantong glanced at Jiang Yi and then said, "His funeral doesn't need to be a big one. We can just have a simple farewell."
"Well, let's do as Father wishes." Jiang Yi agreed, and then he said to Jiang Kaiji beside him: "Kaiji, what do you think?"
"Big brother will make the decision on everything," Jiang Kaiji replied.
Then everyone in the reception room echoed their opinions. While everyone was still discussing the issue of holding Jiang Hongtao's funeral, Jiang Zhiming looked at Jiang Xiangyun beside him and nodded suggestively to her.
Jiang Tiantong's mercenary cousin Jiang Xiangyun immediately stood up and said, "This is how we'll handle Grandpa's affairs, but I think we need to renegotiate the distribution of family affairs."
"That's right, I also think it should be revised." Jiang Zhiming chimed in, "Grandpa is gone now. We can't let the Jiang family disband and weaken its reputation."
"Yes, I wanted to mention it when Grandpa was still alive."
“…”
Jiang Tiantong didn't say anything. She had guessed this scene a long time ago, and this was the key point today.
The reason these people are so eager to jump out is simply to divide the assets.
Although the Jiang family is a family business, the company's executives are also selected based on their abilities.
If you don't have the ability, no matter how close the relative is, you can take the dividends, but if you want to work in the Jiang family company, you can only be a clerk.
This was the first order Jiang Tiantong issued after taking over the Jiang family. Although this order was very reasonable, other people in the Jiang family did not think so!
Jiang Yi and Jiang Kaiji looked at each other, and both remained silent, waiting for Jiang Tiantong's answer.
When the chatter died down, Jiang Tiantong finally spoke: "Grandpa made a will before his death, transferring 30% of his shares to me. Adding the shares I hold now, I own 60% of the controlling stake in the Jiang family, so I have the final say in the Jiang family now."
As if wanting everyone in the Jiang family to digest this information, Jiang Tiantong paused and then continued, "Lawyer Liu can prove this. He is outside now. If anyone doesn't believe it, please ask Lawyer Liu to come in."
Wow...
A single stone caused a thousand ripples. Naturally, no one would question the truthfulness of Jiang Tiantong's remarks. Everyone started complaining about the deceased Jiang Hongtao.
The reason they were gathered today was because, although Jiang Tiantong had previously been in charge of the Jiang family, he only held 30% of the shares. They wanted to use their numbers to drive Jiang Tiantong out. He was muttering.
This news caught everyone off guard. They originally thought that Jiang Hongtao's inheritance would be divided equally after his death, but they didn't expect that he would leave it all to Jiang Tiantong alone!
You have to know that Jiang Tiantong is a woman and she will get married sooner or later!
Does that mean that most of the Jiang family’s property will be taken to someone else’s house as a dowry?
Jiang Yi frowned and gritted his teeth in hatred.
He admitted that his niece Jiang Tiantong was capable, but he was not bad either!
He has been running around outside these years without any complaints, and has been working diligently for the Jiang family. But in the end, he has to accept the orders of his own niece. How can he be willing to accept this?
Jiang Zhiming stood up and said to Jiang Tiantong, "If that's the case, then I choose to transfer my shares."
A man in his thirties next to him said, "I'm transferring it too."
"I am also planning to transfer my shares."
“…”
Hearing the voices of agreement around him, Jiang Zhiming felt more confident and looked at Jiang Tiantong with a smug look on his face.
Jiang Tiantong flipped through the documents Jia Ting had prepared on the table and said to Jiang Zhiming, "You personally own 0.005% of the Jiang family's shares. According to the previous family shareholding agreement, I have the right of first refusal. The market value of your shares is approximately 30 million."
"Are you sure you want to transfer it?" Jiang Tiantong asked.
Jiang Tiantong's words exploded like a thunder in Jiang Zhiming's heart.
He has never thought of giving up the shares in his hands. The Jiang family is still in a stage of development. The profits from his shares will only become more and more substantial. Coupled with the annual dividends, anyone with a little bit of brains would not choose to transfer at this time.
But he couldn't back down at this time. If he could force the other party to compromise, or even let his father Jiang Yi take over the Jiang family, then he would be able to rise from the ashes and no longer have to rely on this little dividend to make a living.
After taking a look at the supporters beside him, Jiang Zhiming finally calmed down a bit. These were the supports he had obtained in exchange for the huge profits he had promised them in advance.
Although Jiang Tiantong still controls the Jiang family, with so many people working together, how can Jiang Tiantong get enough liquidity to pay for the equity recovery?
By then, she will definitely make certain concessions!
Jiang Zhiming answered solemnly: "Yes."
Jiang Tiantong nodded and said, "In June of this year, you exploited your position in the company to collude with Hengtai Construction Company, receiving kickbacks of three million yuan, causing a financial loss of ten million yuan to the company."
"Last September, you exploited your position to defraud the company of an 8 million yuan advance payment for a vehicle, causing a direct loss of 3 million yuan to the company."
"Last March, you and Jiang Hua collaborated to create false accounts and defrauded the company of five million in cash, causing a further five million in financial losses."
“…”
"You've been with the company for five years, and you've gained illicit profits totaling 13.5 million yuan, causing losses totaling 46.24 million yuan to the company." Jiang Tiantong raised his head and said, "What do you think should be done?"
