Chapter 1121
I dreamed that I would be able to break away from the second-rate families and be promoted to the ranks of the first-rate, or even super-rate, families.
However, by the time the third day came around
Han Weiqiang was sitting at the dining table as usual, reading the newspaper while leisurely eating his breakfast.
At that moment, one of his men rushed in in a hurry.
"Chairman, Chairman."
Before the subordinate could finish his sentence, Han Weiqiang had already lifted his hand up.
He was calm and unhurried, his face full of confidence and a smile.
"Needless to say, I know it must be that our stock has gone up again, isn't it?"
The man under his hand shook his head violently, "No! It's not!"
"I don't know why, but early this morning, our group's stock suddenly plummeted!"
All the retail investors sold off our group's shares en masse.
"Moreover, 40% of our group's shareholders have sold their original shares."
"What are you saying!?"
Han Weiqiang couldn't sit still, his pupils dilated and his entire face was written with surprise and disbelief.
"Also, last night, the eldest son sold the 15% of the group's shares he held as well."
Han Weiqiang's eldest son was a gambler.
Every time he lost, selling something was inevitable, and Han Weiqiang was used to it.
But he had never expected that his son would even dare to sell his shares in the group.
Han Weiqiang's hand had already started to tremble.
Even a child could do the math now.
Their group had already lost 55% of its shares.
If this 55% of shares were acquired by one person.
Then this person would become the new owner of their group!
Han Weiqiang jumped up from his chair in fright and said with a panicked face.
"Quickly, hurry up! Inform the finance department and tell them to make sure they do everything they can to recover the lost shares for me!"
The henchman covered his face.
"The chairman is too late."
"The man who holds 55% of our group's shares has just arrived at the company building."
"He has called an extraordinary shareholders' meeting to hollow you out, Chairman!"
"Who, who is it?"
"Who is so brave as to dare to overthrow me?!"
The man at hand trembled as he uttered the man's name.
"The general manager of Lingxiao Group."
"Xu Muqing!"
......
The Lingxiao Group wanted to make an enemy of all the powerful families in the entire capital region!
This information quickly spread like wildfire in the region.
But all the powerful families with a bit of ranking had received this news.
All of a sudden, people were talking about it, and the entire Lingxiao Group was thrust into the limelight.
In particular, the gentry that had received the hunting order were all rubbing their fists together.
They wanted to make a big show in front of the Council of Elders, to leap from the carp to the dragon's gate, to get rid of the shackles of their own families and become first-class, or even super-class families.
However, it took less than ten days.
All the magnificent families who had been clamouring against the Lingxiao Group had either turned into beggars overnight.
Either they had instantly lost their voices, each following the rules and no longer daring to do anything even half as arrogant and domineering.
The pursuit order issued by the Elders' Council soon became a joke!
At the same time, the Lingxiao Group sent out a message to all the powerful families within the entire region, through certain channels.
Back then, Li Hang's own brother, Li Mu, had taken poison and killed himself under the pressure of a dozen families.
The dozen or so families were told to go to Li Mu's grave and kneel and kowtow in apology within a month!
Once the one-month deadline had passed, if these families did not do as Li Hang had said.
He would make these families lose what was most precious to them!
Declare war!
This was Li Hang declaring war on the Council of Elders!
Chapter 1122
The hall of the centuries-old mansion.
Eight old men sit restlessly, one of the seats already empty.
One old man was pacing back and forth on the green stone tiled floor of the hall.
There was an intense anger on his face, and a sharp light kept flashing inside his eyes.
"Shame."
"This is simply a disgrace to our Regional Council of Elders!"
The old man lashed out and let loose a furious roar at the other eight companions around him.
"A small Ling Xiao Group."
"A door-to-door son-in-law who is not worthy of the stage."
"What qualifications does he have to dare to speak so loudly?"
"Can any of you tell me why the issuance of the pursuit and killing order has not had the slightest effect?"
"Instead, it will still cause such a bad situation now."
A rather obese old man on the side sighed, "Grand Elder, this Lingxiao Group's shell is simply too hard."
"The worst foreman won't go down, I don't know how many magnate families have launched attacks on them."
"But this Lingxiao Group is like a deep, bottomless swamp."
"Everyone steps in with one foot and in less than half a day's work, they immediately sink."
"You know, a dozen second-rate families have gone bankrupt and collapsed!"
The Grand Elder laughed coldly, "Second-rate families are like weeds on the roadside, they can grow again next year after being plucked."
"They're just cannon fodder, as many as it takes."
"What I want to know now is, which one of you has the means to give me the thorn in the Ling Xiao Group's side and pull it out of my eyes!"
"Do you guys know how many people are watching our jokes right now?"
The crowd next to them looked at each other.
At this time, a rather thin, very sinister looking old man on the side said coldly.
"Grand Elder, if I'm not wrong, the biggest backer of this Lingxiao Group should be the Li family."
"It must be that old fox Li Jin behind this."
The First Elder turned his head and said coldly, "Second Elder, do you think I don't know?"
"Li Jin is the most cunning of all the people I've met."
"Over the years, our Elders' Council has gone to great lengths to eradicate him."
"But who among us has managed to do so?"
The Second Elder smiled and said, "If it was before, we would definitely have no way to do anything about Li Jin."
"This fox is more cunning than any of us."
"There is no gap to be found in him."
"But things are different now."
When the second elder said this, several elders next to him turned their heads around.
The Eldest Elder was also staring straight at the Second Elder.
The nine elders here were all nominally good friends though.
More so, they were in a chain of interests, all supporting each other and making progress together.
But in fact, they also had some fights in private.
In particular, there has always been an irreconcilable conflict between the First Elder and the Second Elder.
The First Elder wanted to suppress the Second Elder so that there was no way for their clan to surpass their own.
The Second Elder, on the other hand, was deliberately intent on yanking the Eldest Elder from his position.
Overtly and covertly, both clans were fighting each other.
With a smile on his face, the First Elder looked at the Second Elder and said
"From what you said, it means that you have found a way to deal with the Lingxiao Group?"
The Second Elder smiled confidently, "I already said that just now!"
"In the past, we couldn't do anything about Li Jin, that's because all these years, he was all alone."
"With only bodyguards and butlers around, there was nowhere to strike."
"But now it's different, Li Jin's son who was banished from the family in the first place has returned."
"Li Jin's son is the biggest weapon we have against him!"
