Chapter 850: Admit Your Mistakes
In other words, not only Zhou Qi and the Li family, but also the Bao family, the Zheng family and others are against the Huo family.
Faced with such a powerful united front and a takeover offer, how could the Huo family’s current financial resources withstand it?
"Why do you want to do this?"
Huo Yongnian asked blankly: "Is it worth sacrificing years of friendship for a young man?"
Li Zihong snorted coldly and asked, "Don't you think this is ridiculous? To threaten the economy of Hong Kong City for personal gain, if your conspiracy had not been exposed, what would the consequences be? I don't think I need to say more, right?
You thought your actions were unnoticed, but in fact they have already been exposed. What's the point of pretending now?"
Hearing this, Huo Yongnian felt as if all the strength in his body was drained away in an instant. His head felt dizzy and he finally fell weakly into the chair.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Huo Xuesheng rushed over and looked at his father's pale and haggard face. He angrily shouted to Li Zihong and others, "Don't go too far!"
When he was about to continue protesting, Huo Yongnian raised his hand to stop him.
After adjusting his posture, before he could speak, Huo Yongwei next to him said first: "Now, we just want to hear the truth."
Huo Yongnian's gaze slowly moved in his direction, and after a long silence, he nodded heavily.
"Okay, I say."
His brows were knitted tightly, his fingers pressed hard between his brows, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, I was indeed involved in the turmoil in Hong Kong City before."
As soon as these words came out, the members of the Huo family could no longer sit still.
Although they had heard about this matter before, they were still shocked when they heard Huo Yongnian admit it with their own ears.
"Why? Why would you do this? Even if we are not involved in the business world, we know the principle of exhausting the resources. Doing this will ruin the economy of Hong Kong City and will not benefit anyone."
Someone questioned, and then others joined in, and the accusatory voices echoed in the room.
Huo Yongnian raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet:
"That's enough. I admit I'm greedy. But if I don't agree to their terms, do you know how they will treat us? We can't afford to mess with those lunatics."
He still feels a lingering fear when he recalls the crazy behavior of Pierce and the plump woman.
After the failure, they even spared no effort on their own people. The thought of that bloody scene made his heart beat faster.
Zhou Qi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tell me, where did those people come from?"
Huo Yongnian glanced at him and shook his head slightly: "They are an overseas organization called the United Fund.
I don’t know the specific situation, but I know that they had successfully harvested a lot of wealth before attacking the port city.”
"I don't know why they came to me."
He continued: “Maybe because our Huo family has more connections overseas, they can put pressure on us.
On one side are benefits, and on the other side are huge risks. If it were you, you would make the same choice. "
** snorted disdainfully: "You think everyone will be like you."
Huo Yongnian gnashed his teeth and said, "I didn't attack Gangcheng, I just took advantage of the situation to earn my share.
How many people have made profits from bearish trading during this storm? Am I the only one, Huo Yongnian? "
At this point, he pointed at Li Zihong and said, "Don't think I don't know that your Li family has also made a lot of money from this. What qualifications do you have to blame me now?
The difference between us is that one is successful and the other is a failure.”
At this time, Li Zhaoji stood up: "The key lies in the joint rescue of the market. Although it is understandable to gain benefits from the turmoil in the stock market, what happens next?
The stock market fluctuated abnormally, and stockholders fell into despair. When the Hong Kong government proposed a joint rescue, the Li family responded positively, but you tried to obstruct it. You are seeking personal gain and trying to drain the blood of Hong Kong City. "
"When the joint rescue plan reached an impasse, who was the first to protect the market at all costs? Without that action, it would be unknown whether the joint rescue plan could succeed.
You hold a grudge against Xiao Zhou for this and keep making things difficult for him. If this isn't revenge, what is it?
During the joint rescue process, we were always suppressed by the other side. Who leaked the information? Do you think we didn’t notice your little tricks?
We are all involved in protecting the Hong Kong market, but why are you only targeting Xiao Zhou and not us?
Do you think we would allow this to happen, allowing people like you to continue to plot in secret and disappoint Xiao Zhou? "
"Don't always act like you're helpless. Be brave enough to take responsibility for your actions. If you make a mistake, you must admit it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out.
Zhou Qi began to applaud, attracting everyone's attention. He smiled and said, "Uncle Li is so right. It's really hard not to applaud!"
Huo Yongnian sneered and said with a hint of sarcasm: "When did I ever attack him? You are clearly making up groundless arguments."
"Mr. Huo, things have developed to this point, what else do you want to hide?"
Li Jianan shook his head and sighed: "Can you say you had no idea about what your precious son did in the mainland?
If it weren't for Zhou Qi's wisdom and my planning to solve the problem, do you know how serious the consequences would be? You can still be so calm, you are really amazing. "
Hearing this, Huo Yongnian's gaze suddenly turned to Huo Xuesheng, his eyes full of questioning.
Facing his father's gaze, Huo Xuesheng stammered, "I, I didn't do anything, it's just..."
"Just what?"
Huo Yongnian slapped him in anger: "What did you do? Tell me the truth!"
It was not until this moment that Huo Yongnian realized the seriousness of the matter.
In fact, he didn't care about these things before. Even if he knew that Huo Xuesheng might have done something inappropriate, he didn't take it to heart. But now, he has to re-examine all of this.
Huo Xuesheng, who was covering his face, was about to open his mouth to explain, but Zhou Qi's voice interrupted him: "Your son has caused me a lot of trouble in the mainland.
I warned him in Haishi, but he didn't take my words seriously at all, and even thought I was someone he could manipulate at will."
"And then they turned around and made trouble for me in Beijing, trying to directly shut down my company. Since the Huo family is pressing me step by step, why should I hold back?"
Having said that, Zhou Qi extended his hand to Li Jiaxin, and after getting her tacit consent, he took the stack of documents.
"Mr. Huo, I think you should be familiar with these documents, right? You want to transfer a large amount of funds to the mainland. Have you foreseen that the situation in Hong Kong is not favorable to you?
The Huo family's future development space is limited, so they are leaving a way out for themselves in advance? I also want to ask, have you discussed these plans with the shareholders present here?"
“When you were planning all this, did you take other members of the family into consideration?
If the situation changes and you plan to develop inland alone, what will happen to the rest of the Huo family?"
