Suppressing businesses is their primary tactic; as for what's behind it? They simply don't care.
And what about Gong Changming? His shield was breached after that business deal with Country L went wrong, not to mention that his people were actually quite uncertain about the future.
The more illegal means Gong Changming uses, the more terrifying people become about his character and conduct.
Who would want to work with someone like that?
With the Gong family's centuries-old business empire, even an outsider in the Gong family would be a moderately wealthy household. Who would want to worry about their safety every day?
“He lost a big deal in the L country transaction, and then Gong Changmu stumbled again. In just over a month, he suffered two major setbacks. He couldn’t take it anymore.” After all, the longer one sits in the position of family head, the more effective Gong Changfan’s words become.
Clearly, attempts to sow discord between Gong Changfan and Gong Chengjue were ineffective.
It means that none of Gong Changming's strategies worked, and he only saw his business scope shrinking.
Meanwhile, the voices from the Gong family demanding his expulsion from the family were growing louder...
It's like waiting for the final showdown.
A cornered dog will jump over the wall, a cornered rabbit will bite; the more agitated Gong Changming becomes, the more it proves that he himself lacks confidence.
However, at present, Gong Changfan and Gong Chengjue do not have enough evidence to expel Gong Changming from the Gong family.
Gong Chengjue's words acted like a stabilizing force, calming everyone's hearts and drawing their gazes to him.
He was increasingly displaying the qualities of a family head.
The person the old man chose must be quite good.
Gong Changfan nodded, "Everyone should go back and rest early, don't worry too much."
Only the two of them, uncle and nephew, remained in the living room. Gong Changfan looked at Gong Chengjue and asked, "What are your plans?"
"Gong Changming is short of money," Gong Chengjue said casually.
Gong Changfan frowned slightly, "He has a lot of assets under his name..."
"No, that's not enough. His assets have already deteriorated somewhat because of the L country incident."
Gong Changfan knew about this too, and nodded, "Do you think he'll continue to take big risks for money next?"
Gong Chengjue shook his head. "After suffering two major setbacks, he's panicked again and won't take the risk a third time."
"Why?" If you're short of money, wouldn't you be more likely to take risks?
“Because his collaborators won’t let him act so recklessly.” Gong Chengjue looked at Gong Changfan. “This time, we’re going to force him to take the third risk.”
"How do you force me?" Gong Changfan asked like a well-behaved child.
"For a company, how can it quickly raise money?" Gong Chengjue asked Gong Changfan.
Gong Changfan thought about it seriously for a moment, "Go public?"
Gong Chengjue nodded, "Gong Changming's company is about to go public."
Gong Changfan hummed in agreement. "So?"
“But the accounts are falsified.” Gong Chengjue’s lips curled up slightly. “The accounts of his company that is about to go public are problematic.”
“And he doesn’t have that many assets either.” Gong Chengjue looked at Gong Changfan. “He urgently needs the company to go public.”
"If his shareholders knew he wanted to get something for nothing, and that shareholders are wolves, do you think they would be willing?" Gong Chengjue said, and there was no need for further explanation.
"So, Gong Changming will definitely take another risk for the sake of funds?" Gong Changfan shook his head again. "With his wealth, how could he not even be able to come up with this much money?"
There are also large and small companies that go public.
“He really can’t come up with that much money right now. More importantly, he signed a betting agreement with someone else.” Gong Chengjue gently tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Uncle, if Gong Changming had substantial assets, he wouldn’t have taken the risk of engaging in illicit business.”
"What kind of performance-based agreement?"
"The company's listing date." Gong Chengjue had already investigated everything.
While Gong Changming constantly used shady methods to harass him, Gong Chengjue persisted in seeking a breakthrough through legitimate means.
No matter how much Gong Changming struggled, the giant net covering him was tightening little by little.
Gong Changfan nodded. "In other words, if Gong Changming can't get the company listed on time, he'll suffer huge losses. But given his current net worth and accounts, if the shareholders have any issues, the company might not be able to go public..."
This is truly a situation where there are wolves in front and tigers behind; no matter which choice you make, you're doomed.
Gong Chengjue looked at him, "Otherwise, why do you think he wants to be the head of the family so much?"
For a large conglomerate like the Gong family, patching up one hole with another is not difficult at all. However, ordinary people do not have this right; only the head of the family does.
Gong Changfan couldn't help but feel a little sad, "...him, sigh..." He felt that saying anything would be superfluous.
No reason, no matter what, can conceal the fact that Gong Changming is an extremely evil person.
Will the Gong family retain such character?
"Uncle, don't worry," Gong Chengjue reassured him.
Gong Changfan nodded, then chuckled, "You're comforting me now, kid. I'm the head of the family, okay?"
Gong Chengjue smiled, "Then the patriarch should quickly comfort me."
Gong Changfan "..."
This kid really deserves a beating.
"By the way, how do you plan to explain this to the Zhou family?" Gong Changfan thought of the dinner gathering between the two families tonight.
"What do you mean, how do I explain this? Break up with him," Gong Chengjue said bluntly.
"separate?"
"Since you're a couple, if you don't get along, you should break up." Gong Chengjue asked, puzzled, "Is there a problem?"
Gong Changfan was genuinely stumped by the question, "It seems... there's nothing wrong?"
Why did he feel so bad about Gong Chengjue and Zhou Ruoling being together before?
But Gong Chengjue broke up with her just because they disagreed, as if there really was no problem.
Wait, did he forget something? Sigh, I'm getting old, my brain isn't as sharp as it used to be.
"Miss Zhou is willing?"
"A breakup only requires one party to be willing," Gong Chengjue said.
Gong Changfan looked at him in disbelief, "Chengjue, this is such a scumbag thing to do!!"
"Well, but that makes sense, doesn't it?" Gong Chengjue said seriously.
Gong Changfan thought about it and realized that in modern society, if one party in a relationship no longer wants to be together and initiates a breakup, the other party may not agree, but that doesn't change anything and they might even be seen as clinging to the other person.
There's not much legal protection, and even moral condemnation is scarce.
but……
He looked up at Gong Chengjue, only to see a faint smile in his eyes. Gong Changfan then realized that he had been tricked.
"Do you even respect me, your uncle?!" Gong Changfan felt his position as head of the family was being truly disrespected!
Gong Chengjue stood up. "It's just a small matter, Uncle. You don't need to worry about these things. Miss Zhou and I have already discussed it. We each got what we needed. She's the one who's breaking up with me."
Gong Changfan snorted coldly, "I wonder if Miss Su will be moved by what you've done."
"Touched? Of course not." Gong Chengjue knew Su Ziqing well. "She'll only get angry."
Gong Changfan thought for a moment, "Hmm, it should be."
