Chapter 534: Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting (Part Five)
Hearing that, everyone in the room knew that what he said next would be very exciting.
The entire International Convention Center was completely silent.
Hong Weiguo looked directly into Qian Guangzhao’s eyes, his face full of disdain. He said slowly, “You have been wondering how is it that you invested more money than me, had more talented staff than me, more resources than me, a better foundation than me, and yet, you completely lost to me. In the end, you had to completely withdraw from the search engine business. Now, I will tell you why.
“I was born into the Hong Family. It’s true that we are wealthy. However, from the very beginning, I did not think of myself as a rich young master! When I was in school as a child, and someone provoked me, I would fight back. Back then, I had always concealed my identity. Some students who were in secret societies wanted to bully me. I got stabbed eleven times but I broke the legs of more than ten of those bastards. Do you have the guts to do that? After that incident, no one dared to look me in the eye or talk back to me! Ever since then, I was already the king of the school!
“A real man lives between this sky and this earth. He should be a hero when alive and remain a brave ghost after death!
“If I had not mellowed since we had our Dali over ten years ago, I would take your surname if I don’t skin you now!
“Let me tell you, I live by relying on this strength. Even if I’m a pile of cow dung, I will be a passionate pile of cow dung. Anyone can step on me a few times, but I will not give up. Bury me in the ground and I can fertilize the flowers, throw me into the stove pit and I can cook the rice. If I’m put on the Great Wall, I will be the f**king wolf dung smoke signal! I have treated myself as a poor boy who had nothing to my name since I was a child. I’m not afraid to take up challenges and fight hard! You want to go up against me? Even if you live another two hundred years you’re still not a worthy opponent!”
Liu Yihui was stunned. Mu Tie was stunned as well.
Wen Jianan was stunned, and all the other members of the Chamber were stunned as well.
The previously cocky Qian Guangzhao’s face was now in varying shades of green. He looked terrible.
The Black Widow Wang Yingqiu looked quietly at Hong Weiguo’s silhouette and sighed softly.
After a long time, the entire International Convention Center rang with resounding applause. It was the heartfelt excitement of the members of the Chamber of Commerce who heard Hong Weiguo’s speech. It did not matter if they supported him, hated him, or were simply there to watch the fun.
How did one enlighten the benighted? How did it feel to be suddenly filled with wisdom? These people did not know before, but now they understood.
It reverberated like thunder.
The applause went on for two minutes before gradually stopping.
The entire International Convention Center was once again silent.
Everyone waited for Qian Guangzhao or Hong Weiguo’s reaction. No one dared to breathe too loudly. It seemed that if anything were to interrupt the conversation between both of them, everyone around would certainly get angry.
“That means,” Qian Guangzhao took a ragged breath and said in a low voice, “You do not agree to my request?” He had originally planned to viciously attack Hong Weiguo’s confidence and humiliate him. Unexpectedly, his previous bravado was completely pulverized and dissipated by Hong Weiguo’s words.
Looking at Qian Guangzhao’s resentful and grudging expression, Hong Weiguo sneered and said, “Are you feeling resentful after being scolded by me? Haha, let me tell you this, you have led the easy life as a rich man’s son. Not just to me, even if we asked a common working man, you’re not worth half a dime in their eyes, either! You want me to kneel down in front of you? Dream on!”
After hearing what Hong Weiguo said, several members of the Chamber of Commerce shouted immediately, “Weiguo, way to go! Beautifully said! A person who does not know how to respect another is a pile of shit!””Hahaha, well said. Hong Weiguo, I support you!” “Fight on, don’t bow to evil forces! So what if you have money? Just because you have money, you can ask someone to kneel down to you?”
Many of those present had built their business from scratch. Hong Weiguo’s words resonated with many of them.
The five magnates on the rostrum also nodded. Hong Weiguo was able to develop Sangle to a level where he qualified for the inner circle in just a little more than a decade. He was indeed not a simple character.
Of course, these were Hong Weiguo’s die-hard supporters. There were also others who sighed. “Hong Weiguo really isn’t a bad character. It’s just unfortunate that he gave birth to a son like Hong Dali. If not because of Hong Dali, Qian Guangzhao would not have been able to garner so much support.” “Yes, if Hong Weiguo were to develop his business for another two or three years, Qian Guangzhao would have to seriously reconsider before taking any action regardless of how much he hates Hong Weiguo.”
As they listened to the discussions of the people around them, Liu Yihui and Mu Tie shook their heads helplessly.
Hong Dali was good at everything. Everything he dabbled in became popular. It was precisely because of this that he attracted a lot of hate. Everyone here was bigwigs in their respective industries and fields, but when it came to going up against Hong Dali, none of them had much confidence. Otherwise, how could Qian Guangzhao get so many people on his side?
“Hehehehe, hahahaha, ahhahahahaha!” After listening to Hong Weiguo’s words, Qian Guangzhao suddenly started to laugh.
At the beginning, it was just a quiet laugh, but it got louder and louder, crazier and crazier!
When he was finally done laughing, Qian Guangzhao stared at Hong Weiguo, his face flushed with excitement. “So, you will not accept the mediation condition? Hehehe, Hong Weiguo, I have to admit that your little speech was beautifully said. There’s really not much I can refute. You are right, you are not afraid to take up challenges and fight hard! I cannot be compared to you. It’s also because of this that I have no misgivings about what I’ll do.”
When he finished speaking, he took another deep breath and said loudly, “I announce that the mediation with Hong Weiguo has failed. At the same time, I request to have Hong Weiguo impeached!” As he spoke, he took a document out from his pocket and slammed it on the table. “This is a joint application by 94 members of the inner circle, signed and stamped!”
After Qian Guangzhao spoke, and everyone had seen the document he slammed on the table, the entire International Conference Center was completely silent for a minute before it erupted.
“My God! Qian Guangzhao is really applying to impeach Hong Weiguo right on the spot. This… this… this must be a dream! The mediation failed?!”
“Mad, this guy has gone completely mad! Impeaching a member of the inner circle, nothing like this has happened in more than ten years. It’s impeachment, not just trading insults!”
“Yes. Once impeached, Hong Weiguo will be faced with the encirclement of the entire Chamber of Commerce. Although Sangle is strong…”
“No matter what kind of a genius Hong Weiguo is, how many allies and friends he has on his side, would he last even a month?”
Everyone in the entire International Convention Center was engaged in discussions about the matter. Everyone who had signed the document was looking decidedly pale!
Originally, they thought that the document was only insurance. The mediation condition that Qian Guangzhao had asked for previously was that Hong Weiguo would take action to control Hong Dali’s activities! Today, he actually asked Hong Weiguo to kneel down. If he refused, he wanted him impeached immediately!
The string of prayer beads in Cheng Qifu’s hands, the president of Jin Di Real Estate Company, broke. His face was covered with cold sweat as he muttered, “This guy obviously has no intention of coming to a settlement. He is only interested in the impeachment! Motherf**ker, this man is crazy, really crazy!”
“Jealousy makes people crazy.” Wang Yingqiu sighed. “Qian Guangzhao’s jealousy towards Hong Weiguo has reached such a point.”
She was not wrong. In truth, a woman sometimes saw things at a deeper level, or perhaps from a different point of view as compared to a man.
The other people only took in the fact that Qian Guangzhao lost three billion yuan of his investment because of Hong Weiguo, but Wang Yingqiu knew that Qian Guangzhao was just jealous. He was jealous that Hong Weiguo was better looking than him, more talented than him, developed his business faster than him, and even had a son so powerful.
That was why Qian Guangzhao was jealous. His jealousy was almost driving him crazy.
He was born in the Qian Family, a super big and wealthy family. He had been the apple in his parents’ eyes since young and everything he wanted, he got. After he encountered Hong Weiguo, everything was depressing. He lost in business, in love, and even his son was inferior. How could he not be jealous!
That was why, because of jealousy, Qian Guangzhao had gone completely mad.
“Be ready for what comes after.” After being briefly surprised, Cheng Qifu muttered, “If he really drives Hong Weiguo into a corner, it will not be good for anyone. This bastard, f**k.”
The crowd was rife with discussion, but the five magnates on stage heaved a sigh of relief.
After the uncertainty earlier, things were finally back on track. Their plan started with Hong Weiguo’s impeachment. If something wrong happened here, all their planning would have been in vain.
“Your request is accepted.” Wen Jianan took a breath of relief and said slowly, “Bring the documents up here.”
Immediately, assistants collected the documents from Qian Guangzhao’s table and handed them up. After Wen Jianan looked at it, he said slowly, “An application for the impeachment of an inner circle member has appeared in the Resource Chamber of Commerce. We will thus take a recess of three days while we conduct the impeachment qualification inquiry. At 8 AM on the 21st, all members of the Chamber of Commerce are to gather for the announcement of the results of the inquiry.”
Once he finished speaking, the entire International Conference Center first went briefly silent, before suddenly erupting!
“The impeachment qualification inquiry is starting. God, this time things are really happening!”
“The qualification inquiry. The assets of the applicants requesting impeachment must be at least five times that of the person to be impeached. Just how much support has Qian Guangzhao managed to garner this time?!”
“Damn, I will not have lived in vain having witnessed such a scene! Five times! What kind of terrifying power is that!”
“The assets of each of the members of the inner circle are more than 10 billion each. Ninety-four names would mean a total asset of at least 1.5 billion yuan!”
The crowd was afire with discussions. Qian Guangzhao stared unflinchingly at Hong Weiguo as he stood opposite him. He laughed and said, “Hong Weiguo, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance. I hope you don’t regret it. Once the impeachment qualification inquiry is over, we will finally be free of each other. I can only wish you all the best. Tread carefully, I will not be sending you off. Hahaha!”
