Chapter 342 Centrifugal Forces: Zheng Youling Demands to Establish His Own Business

"You said it?"

Zheng Youling casually wiped the blood from his head.

Zheng Tong felt a pang of pity seeing her eldest son like this, but she remained unmoved, her eyes still filled with barely concealed anger.

At this moment, Zheng Youwei's heart was filled with joy as bright as spring flowers.

He was happy to see Zheng Youling suffer a setback. Zheng Youling was right; it was he who sent the message back, and it was he who brought Zheng Tong over.

She just wanted to diminish Zheng Youling's standing in Zheng Tong's eyes.

He never expected Zheng Youling to be so bold as to sell his ATV shares behind his father's back, even though they owned 30% of ATV.

This is not a minority.

What he couldn't understand was that Zheng Youling's trading partner was Jiayuan Group, their arch-rival, but none of that mattered most.

The most fatal and also the most unexpected thing for him.

Zheng Youling dared to unite all the company's shareholders and make such a major decision on his own, without informing the actual person in charge of the Zheng family.

This behavior is a blatant attempt to seize power.

Throughout history, which monarch wouldn't be furious in the face of such a situation?

Even worse, he killed his own son.

It is clear that this kind of thing is taboo no matter when or where it happens.

His good older brother had the audacity to break this taboo.

“You don’t need to look at your brother. If he hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known you had such audacity. You even dared to sell the company’s shares. What else wouldn’t you dare to do?”

"Dad, calm down first."

Zheng Youling wasn't in a good mood; at least for now, his earlier joy had vanished.

He still patiently tried to explain the matter, but Zheng Tong didn't give him the chance and continued to hurl insults.

"Don't call me Dad anymore. I'll call you Dad from now on. I'm not dead yet, and this company has no place for you to make decisions. Get out of here. From now on, I'm officially removing you from your position as general manager. From now on, your younger brother will handle the company's work."

"Go home and reflect on your mistakes for two months. You can come back to work when you realize your errors."

Zheng Youling's fist, which was clenched behind his back, bulged with two veins.

Winter comes later in Hong Kong Island; September is just the tail end of autumn, yet he felt a bone-chilling cold.

The chill came from his heart.

Zheng Youling suddenly felt like laughing. He felt that all the things he had done for the company over the years were nothing but a joke.

The company doesn't belong to him, not now, and most likely it won't in the future either.

He knew from a young age that his father was biased, but he never complained because he knew that the other child was also his younger brother.

His dislike for Zheng Youwei began in middle school, because Zheng Youwei had already started to show his scheming nature at that time.

But he didn't really care about any of that. What he really minded was his father's indifference and his shameless favoritism.

At this moment, a crazy idea was born in Zheng Youling's mind.

He couldn't just sit and wait to die; he should prepare a way out for himself, one that didn't require the Zheng family.

Zheng Youling's path is his own. He has long been capable of standing on his own. Over the years, he has managed the company well and made it thrive. But so what? He is just doing the work for others.

Why should he use his own efforts to support a good-for-nothing?

At this moment, Zheng Youling seemed to have made up his mind. The strange look in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a calmness, a calmness that saw through everything.

When Zheng Tong had nothing more to say, he took a folder from the president's desk drawer, placed it on the table, and sounded relieved, as if he had been given a break.

“The shares in ATV don’t make much money, but this contract guarantees the Cheng family more than double their current income over the next ten years.”

"I don't think I made a mistake by selling my shares in ATV."

"Also, I embezzled more than 5 billion yuan from the company. This money will be returned to the company's accounts within the next two days. I have other things to do, so I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Zheng Youling left the office alone.

He originally planned to transfer the money he made from the stock market into the Zheng family's account, but now he has changed his mind.

He obtained this money at great risk, and he has done enough for the Zheng family over the years.

He doesn't need any of the Zheng family's shares in the future; he can treat this money as his salary over the years.

Next, he plans to use the money to start his own company, a brand new Zheng family.

After Zheng Tong finished reading the contract, he turned around abruptly, looking at his eldest son's departing figure with a complicated expression, feeling a sense of regret.

The second day, the third day

The share price of Cheung Kong Group is still falling, but it has lost the momentum it showed on the first day of the decline.

However, the stock price still fell by 6% within two days.

Including the first day, Cheung Kong Group's stock price has fallen by a total of 16% in the past few days.

When the decline reached its end, Li Jiayuan, Zheng Youling, and their two families bought back stocks to repay the debts owed to the brokerage firm.

When the three parties reconciled their accounts, Li Jiayuan's side transferred a total of 1 billion yuan. After all, she had invested more than 10 billion yuan in total. Was this return excessive?

Qiu Degen and Zheng Youling are about the same, each with a family fortune of around 500 to 600 million.

Just resell it and make a tenth of the profit. What more could you ask for?

The news that the three companies were making a fortune couldn't be kept secret in the business circle.

The news that Cheung Kong Group had been framed and lost nearly 3 billion Hong Kong dollars has been spreading like wildfire in Hong Kong's business circles.

The specifics are not clear to everyone, but there is one known fact: this matter is related to the Jiayuan Group and the Qiu family.

The reason why the Zheng family was able to remain completely hidden is due to Zheng Youling's personal abilities.

Although it is unknown how he did it, it was his doing that allowed the Zheng family to extricate themselves from the situation.

Anyway, now Li Jiayuan and Qiu Degen are the ones taking the blame.

Without a word, Cheung Kong Group suddenly suffered a loss of over 30 billion, and this news has been circulating in Hong Kong circles in countless versions.

Those prominent families that shook Hong Kong!
The major families on Hong Kong Island knew that Li Jiayuan was not someone to be trifled with, but they never expected that this wolf cub would be so ruthless, biting anyone he could get his hands on, starting with the Chung family.

Then came the Zheng family, and now even the Li family has fallen from grace under his control.

A loss of 3 billion HKD is a huge sum, which is no small amount for any family in Hong Kong.

Now, Li Jiayuan has gained a new title in the business world: Madman.

He's a madman who's only interested in profit. He'll follow you wherever there's a chance to make money. Once he sets his sights on you, you'll either die or suffer a huge loss.

what is this?
This is word of mouth.
