Under the watchful eyes of the other four leaders.
The top leader, whose eyes were slightly closed, slowly opened them, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"The Zhao family must take responsibility. All members of the Zhao family in the financial system must be dismissed and investigated. The Zhao family must make up for the social security losses. For ten years, members of the Zhao family are not allowed to enter the financial industry!"
He spoke slowly, his tone calm yet resolute.
The other four leaders exchanged glances and nodded; such a punishment was undeniably severe.
Making up for the losses in social security is a small matter; expelling the Zhao family from the financial industry is the real problem, which is essentially equivalent to removing half of their foundation.
"However, this would have a significant impact on the financial market and would likely affect all sectors," the second-in-command said with some difficulty. The Zhao family members all held important positions in the financial industry, and their complete expulsion would inevitably cause huge turmoil.
"We must be ruthless and make tough decisions. After this painful restructuring, our financial system will be healthier, and now is the perfect time to do so."
The second-in-command was taken aback at first, but since he was in charge of the economy, he quickly recovered and his expression relaxed considerably.
Facing the questioning gazes of the other three leaders, he explained, "Our launch of the Tiangong Kaiwu Plan now will be another major growth point for China's economy. Moreover, these financial irregularities have not yet affected the Tiangong Kaiwu Plan, so it is indeed a good time."
"Otherwise, when the companies participating in the Tiangong Kaiwu Plan are ready to expand their scale, they will inevitably need to take out loans. If these financial irregularities are allowed to affect these companies at that time, there will inevitably be a mess."
The three leaders then realized what was happening, looked at each other, and relaxed.
The Zhao family's ancestral home in Kyoto.
The patriarch, Zhao Wuji, sat in the main seat with a cold expression. Dozens of stools were placed below him, all reserved for the core members of the Zhao family.
However, about half of these seats are currently empty.
"It's time. The family meeting will begin now. Those who are not in the meeting room do not need to wait for them."
Zhao Wuji said in a low voice, "I have already ordered them all to turn themselves in to the Ministry of Supervision."
The rest of the Zhao family members were taken aback. A middle-aged man asked, puzzled, "Uncle, why? Has something happened?"
Zhao Wuji did not answer his question, but continued, "Today, I have gathered everyone at the ancestral home, and in front of our ancestors, I will announce a family rule."
He paused, glanced at the clansmen with a stern gaze, and then said in a low voice, "From now on, all members of the Zhao family are prohibited from engaging in the financial industry for ten years. Those who violate this rule will be expelled from the family."
"All family assets in the financial industry will be handed over to the state for management."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically. The financial industry was the mainstay of the Zhao family, and if they couldn't work in this industry, the Zhao family would definitely decline.
Some observant people have noticed that the family members who are absent today are all important figures in the Zhao family's financial industry.
Before anyone could ask any questions, Zhao Wuji dropped an even more shocking decision: "I have decided to formally resign from my position as head of the Zhao family, effective today."
"Master, what exactly happened?"
"Master, this is unacceptable. Please reconsider your resignation."
"Patriarch, this means the Zhao family is finished!"
At this point, the people below could no longer hold back and began to speak up to persuade him.
"Everyone, stop trying to persuade us. Over the years, I have turned a blind eye to their misconduct in the financial market. I shouldn't have done that, otherwise, such serious consequences would not have occurred."
“Since I have made a mistake, I should resign to take responsibility. You should take this as a warning.”
Zhao Wuji said in a low voice, his face somewhat forlorn, no longer the cold and stern man he had been just moments before.
He glanced at the crowd with their varied expressions and continued, "According to the old rules, the successor to the family head will be recommended by the elders and chosen by a vote."
"Furthermore, the Zhao family is now in a very dangerous situation, and we must seize the next opportunity for development."
"The Tiangong Kaiwu Project will be the next big opportunity. We must seize it. Only by seizing this opportunity can our Zhao family turn things around."
The head of the Zhao family, having held a high position for many years, possessed keen insight and was aware of China's strategic plans surrounding the Tiangong Kaiwu Project.
This will be the next engine of economic growth, and the Zhao family must not miss it again!
Over the course of a thousand years, countless prestigious families have vanished into the annals of history.
The reason why the Zhao family has been able to survive to this day is because they have always chosen the right path during every major social change!
......
Mousse Headquarters.
After a month of intensive learning and training, the first batch of family members have undergone a complete transformation and have been assigned to various departments of the Mousse Group for internships.
Needless to say, their abilities are beyond question, and they quickly stood out among the employees.
As time went on, the Tiangong Kaiwu Plan, spearheaded by the Mousse Group, gradually took hold across various industries, driving the entire country into a construction boom.
The Tiangong Kaiwu Project involved various aspects; just building a base in space alone required astronomical amounts of materials.
These demands have also driven the vigorous development of related companies and upstream and downstream industries throughout China.
In a short time, many industries in China changed from being half-dead and half-alive two years ago to becoming thriving.
Countless workers who lost their jobs due to the economic crisis have returned to work.
Those already employed no longer worry about losing their jobs, as a large number of new job opportunities have emerged, and even the competitive atmosphere has eased.
Zhao Li is an employee of a company. Six months ago, the company was on the verge of collapse, and she was forced to work 996, and later even 007.
Even so, salaries were not paid on time.
But she still didn't dare to quit her job. As a single mother, she was burdened with car loans, mortgages, and the cost of baby formula. These burdens weighed heavily on her, making it impossible for her to rest for even a moment.
Even when faced with harassment from her bald boss, she could only silently endure it.
That day, her bald boss called her into his office. Under the pretext of reporting on his work, he was about to make advances on her again when Zhao Li slapped him across the face and immediately called the police in front of her astonished boss!
Because she already has two jobs with higher salaries than her current one, she no longer needs to swallow her anger!
The same scene has happened to many ordinary people.
Of course, there are also troubles. Many companies are facing a shortage of raw materials, and prices are soaring.
China is not a resource-rich country, so it naturally falls short when faced with large-scale demand.
Therefore, China has specifically formulated export control measures, especially for various resources, which are prohibited from being exported.
At the same time, they embarked on a buying spree, procuring raw materials on a massive scale worldwide.
For a time, resource-rich countries like Australia were overjoyed and intensified their resource extraction efforts, making a fortune.
