Four hundred and ninetieth chapters rat crossing the street
No. 15, Changjia Road, Mid-Levels District, Chiang Family Mansion.
The Mid-Levels area of Hong Kong is a high-end residential area, located between Victoria Peak and Central. It has an extremely advantageous geographical location and many buildings directly overlook the busy Victoria Harbour. Therefore, it is favored by Hong Kong's wealthy and wealthy immigrants.
There are many historic villas and mansions in Mid-levels, and the Jiang Family Mansion is one of them. It was built fifty years ago by Mrs. Jiang of the Jiang family who spent all her savings from business to purchase land. It adopts a combination of Chinese and Western styles.
It is quite famous among the many mansions in the mid-level area.
The Chiang family has been ups and downs for decades, and there have been times when they were close to bankruptcy. However, the Chiang family has never thought of selling this valuable ancestral home, because this mansion represents the roots of the Chiang family and is
A symbol of the unity of the tribe.
Only those who occupy the Chiang family's mansion are qualified to rule the entire Chiang family.
Jiang Chenghua moved out of the Jiang family mansion ten years ago. As an independent child, he would rarely come back unless necessary.
Because this luxurious mansion always gave him a depressing and dull feeling, making it difficult for him to breathe.
I don't know how comfortable I feel living outside.
But today he had to come because the owner of this mansion, his father, was furious.
The moment he stepped into the door, Jiang Chenghua couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face.
If there was a regret pill in the world that could be taken, then even if it cost tens of millions, he would be willing to buy one and take it, allowing time to go back to a week ago.
In this way, Jiang Chenghua can prevent a tragedy from happening.
As the big boss of Honghua Catering, he has been under tremendous pressure in the past few days, from all aspects.
Jiang Chenghua really never dreamed that what he thought was a trivial matter that could be easily solved would turn into a storm of public opinion against him. The dog abuse incident became a hot topic in Hong Kong Island, and Honghua Company did not know that it was being disgraced.
So many rotten eggs were sold on Rotten Tomatoes that it was forced to close its doors temporarily.
And he himself has become a street rat, his usual fair-weather friends are hiding away, and the beautiful women who often appear around him have all disappeared, and everyone is afraid to avoid them.
When did he, Jiang Chenghua, fall to this point?
Things happened too fast, and the opponent's method of mobilizing public opinion was simply vicious. He took advantage of the negligence and mistakes of his people and directly nailed Honghua Company to the pillar of shame, making it the target of millions of people's reviles.
Now the fire has been burned on the Jiang family.
Who gave him the surname "Jiang"?
The more Jiang Chenghua thought about it, the more stuffy he felt, and he couldn't help but pull the tie around his neck.
"Master Sun, are you here?"
The white-haired butler was waiting in the foyer. He looked at Jiang Chenghua with a slightly reproachful look and said softly: "The eldest young master is waiting for you in the study. He hasn't eaten today. Don't make him angry again."
Jiang Chenghua has always been unruly, but he is not afraid of being rude to this veteran who has served the Chiang family for fifty years, served Mr. Jiang, Grandpa Jiang Chenghua, and is still serving Jiang Chenghua’s father, Jiang Tai.
"Uncle Jiu, I know I was wrong."
The old butler smiled and said, "It's good that you know you're wrong. Come in quickly."
Jiang Chenghua agreed and hurried towards the study room on the second floor.
When he arrived at the study, Jiang Chenghua knocked on the door and went in. He saw his father sitting behind the desk, with seven or eight people sitting on the left and right, including his two brothers and several senior executives of the Jiang Group.
Everyone's eyes fell on him, some sympathized, some condemned, some hated iron, and some were gloating about his misfortune.
The ones who were gloating about his misfortune were undoubtedly his two brothers who didn’t get along with each other!
Seeing such a formation, Jiang Chenghua really wanted to retreat immediately, but under Jiang Tai's sharp gaze, he had to bite the bullet and say hello: "Dad, are you looking for me?"
Jiang Tai snorted and said: "I know it is difficult for me to invite you, the third young master of the Jiang family, but our Jiang family has reached a moment of life and death. You are also a member of the Jiang family, so you can't stay out of it, right?"
Life or death!
Jiang Chenghua was suddenly shocked. Is the matter so serious?
Although the incident of dog abuse by Honghua employees made him extremely passive, there is still a way to solve it. Anyway, the person who handled the matter has been detained by the police, so they can just plead guilty and pay compensation.
As for public opinion, as long as you admit your mistakes sincerely and spend more money to clear the media, the situation will be over soon, and everyone cannot keep staring at this matter.
Having a little pet will be a big trouble, but the Jiang family can contact them through all kinds of connections. It's just a matter of spending a little money, and they can get through it naturally.
No matter what, it is impossible to shake the foundation of the Jiang family!
"Dad, I'm already thinking of a way to solve this matter. It's just a matter of lowering my head and admitting my mistake."
Jiang Chenghua asked in disbelief: "Are you going to kill a few dogs and ask us, the Jiang family, to pay for it with our lives?"
Jiang Tai's face was as dark as water and he said nothing.
A middle-aged man sitting on his left coughed and said: "Third Young Master, the two factories we invested in mainland China were raided by the tax bureau yesterday, and their financial accounts were seized. We may face heavy fines."
"In addition, the Environmental Protection Bureau is here today and will conduct a major environmental inspection on us!"
Jiang Chenghua was really confused now.
Since the reform and opening up, the mainland's economic development has grown rapidly. Its huge market, rich products and human resources have made the mainland the first choice for Hong Kong entrepreneurs to invest.
The top ten richest people in Xiangjiang all have large investments in the mainland and have earned astronomical amounts of wealth from the mainland. Of course, the Chiang family cannot miss the opportunity to make a fortune and started to follow suit as early as twenty years ago.
A few years ago, the Chiang Group, which reaped the benefits of mainland China's new wave of economic growth, successively invested in the construction of two new large-scale factories in the mainland, which have just recently been put into production and sales.
The two projects captured most of the Jiang family's funds, including a bank loan worth hundreds of millions. They started to make profits right away, and were unexpectedly inspected by the tax bureau.
Jiang Chenghua knows very well that his two large factories in the Mainland are 100% fishy in terms of taxation and environmental protection, and an investigation will definitely reveal the problems.
This is actually a common problem of many Hong Kong-invested enterprises in the mainland, but the local government often turns a blind eye for economic development, and can get by as long as it doesn't go too far.
Moreover, the Jiang Group also pays great attention to communication with local government agencies.
But now something happened!
Intuition told Jiang Chenghua that the investigation of the Jiang Group's investment projects in the mainland was inseparable from his previous dealings with the small film crew.
Although this association was absurd and incredible, Jiang Chenghua did not think of other possibilities. ——
