Chapter 176: So That's It



Happy times are always short, and funny newspapers will always be finished.

Si Mingyu edited a message and sent it to the managers of various companies of Dongya Mingyu Hongming Industry and Dongya Mingyu Group. If anyone asked about this matter, they should ignore it. If the other party had any inappropriate behavior, they should sue them. The legal team cannot always be idle.

After all, this is Si Mingyu's personal matter. If he doesn't speak, the group company really doesn't know how to deal with it.

"How are you going to deal with it next?" Zhang Ningxi asked him.

This incident has no real impact, but it is indeed disgusting.

"Wait until the results of the investigation into He Maochang and the other four families come out. No matter who is responsible for this, I will deal with them first."

Si Mingyu reached out and embraced his wife. Zhang Ningxi was 1.73 meters tall, but she weighed only a little over 110 kilograms, so holding her was effortless. The most important thing was her waist; once he put his hands on her, he didn't want to let go. He was already used to holding his wife while talking.

"What if it turns out in the end that these four companies weren't responsible?" Zhang Ningxi held down Si Mingyu's restless hands.

"I'm not a police officer and I don't need evidence. If it turns out it's not those four families, then they're out of luck."

In fact, with the cooperation of several private detective agencies, who were willing to spend money, the results of the investigation were quickly reported. Combined with the help of David Lu, president of China Trust Bank, who investigated the financial status of the four companies, the truth of the matter finally came to light.

The Ho family's main business is real estate, but it's not a good industry in Hong Kong due to the fierce competition. Of course, a company with such a high market capitalization must have its own way of survival, unless something unexpected happened that forced Ho Maochang to lose face and make such a scene.

This change originated from his third son, He Yaocheng, who is also He Mengni's father.

The cause of the incident is very simple, one word: gambling.

Putting aside Hong Kong's traditional Jockey Club horse racing, it's easy to drive or take a boat to the nearby Ho Chi Minh City to spend the weekend and play a few hands.

But gambling is gambling, and there is no such thing as a little gambling for fun. Once you get involved, it is only a matter of time before something goes wrong.

He Yaocheng has this hobby all the time. He spends more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars on horse racing and Mark Six lottery every month, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of wins and losses he usually makes on a trip to the casino in Macau.

Of course, it is impossible for He Yaocheng to only lose and never win. Losing four or five million at most a year is not too much pressure for him.

But it is not the lack of good things that is worrying, but the lack of good people. He Yaocheng met a third-rate female star from Hong Kong in the casino. The two had similar interests and hit it off immediately. They lived together that day.

Can two gamblers be together? They exchange horse racing tips, Mark Six lottery tips, or go to the casino together and lose money together.

When he lost a lot, he wanted to make it back. Naturally, the stakes grew, and the losses only grew. What to do when he ran out of money? He Yaocheng mortgaged his assets, embezzled company funds, or borrowed from others.

As the third young master of the He family, He Yaocheng would definitely be able to borrow a few million yuan. Besides, he would probably win some money, and with that he could pay off the due debts or borrow new money to pay off old ones.

When it finally couldn't hold on any longer, it had already owed more than 200 million yuan in debt.

Rich people are just like ordinary people. If they become addicted to gambling, they will lose everything and there is no good outcome.

He Maochang was very angry after knowing this, but debts must be repaid. The people who lent money to He Yaocheng were not ordinary people. It would be okay if there were only one or two of them, but He Maochang would not dare to default on his debt if dozens or hundreds of them came to his door.

It’s not that the He family can’t pay back the money, but the problem is that a company with a market value of 5 billion may not be able to come up with more than 200 million in cash without affecting operations. Besides, how can the money of a listed company be used to pay off gambling debts?

There are only two options left. One is for He Maochang to borrow money to repay the debt, and the other is to sell the company shares in his hands to cash in.

But He Yaocheng's borrowing has already had a huge impact. He Maochang needs collateral to borrow again, but he can't afford it now.

If you want to sell shares, it's definitely best to sell when the stock price is high, but how do you raise the stock price? Generally, if a listed company has good news, its stock price will rise, but this news is not always available when you want it.

He Yaocheng's sudden outburst was too sudden.

So He Maochang came up with an idea, to scam Si Mingyu.

He was also a gangster in his youth. Although he became rich and cleaned himself up later, sometimes his way of solving problems is indeed different from that of ordinary people. Of course, this was also something they had planned in advance and was well-targeted.

First of all, Si Mingyu was young and came from the mainland. It was inevitable that he would be arrogant after suddenly gaining such a huge fortune. If he sent He Mengni to his door at this time, as long as she had the slightest idea, as long as she could find a handle in her words, the topic would be exposed. They went there with recorders.

Secondly, the media reports a few days ago that Si Mingyu was the heir to "Xiangjiang Hongming Industrial" are still hot, so it's best to hit the mark. Then, they can say that the other company has plans to acquire shares, invest, or support the Ho Group. In short, any claim is acceptable, and the stock price will definitely soar.

By then, with this news, not to mention He Yaocheng owing someone 200 million, even 2 billion wouldn't be a big deal. By then, even if He Mengni was only engaged to the other party, the other party's son-in-law would pay you back in a few minutes.

If things go smoothly, it doesn't matter whether Si Mingyu marries He Mengni or not. It would be worth it to get a huge breakup fee. He Maochang doesn't think that a mainland boy in his twenties can beat him.

Of course, if this really happens, it would be like marrying into a wealthy family for He Mengni. She would agree to this kind of thing one hundred percent.

As for the impact on He Mengni's reputation after the incident, that's not a big deal. Compared to ordinary people, the He family is wealthy, but compared to Si Mingyu, they're just ordinary people. So, is it shameful for ordinary people to be "broken off" by a wealthy family? People will only criticize those who have become rich and forget their roots and disown their words.

Of course, you have to ensure your own safety when committing fraud.

All of these statements were made by He Maochang's family. The three witnesses he found only gave verbal testimony, and nothing could be verified. Furthermore, the news was leaked through the tabloids, and the He family hadn't expressed any opinion. Even if Si Mingyu was forced to sue them, he wouldn't be able to do so.

Moreover, many shareholders were also considering that if the He family produced any evidence, Si Mingyu would have to pay some "compensation" to the other party even if he denied it. Although this was not required by law, it was inevitable from a social perspective.

Is there a chance that He's company's stock will rise in value by then? Should I buy some?

After all, stock investors have all kinds of strange ideas. For the He family, as long as the stock price goes up, their goal is achieved.
