Chapter 2567 1 Drink it all

Everyone knows that Shengtang Group is mainly maintained by Tang Shaoxiong, and the family behind him plays an indispensable role. Without Tang Shaoxiong, Shengtang Group would lose its core competitiveness and steady source of funds.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they objected, they could not change the chairman's determination to resign.

This news quickly spread quietly among the top circles in the country.

A few days later, Tang Shaoxiong received a call from home and was called to Mr. Tang's study.

Mr. Tang asked expressionlessly, "Shaoxiong, you took the initiative to resign from the position of chairman of Shengtang Group? What do you want to do? Do you know what this means?"

Tang Shaoxiong had expected his father to be angry. He was silent for a while before he slowly said, "Please calm down. I know that doing this will likely cause our family to lose financial support and cause many forces that rely on us to become shaken."

"You knew this and you still did this? And you didn't even discuss it with your family in advance."

Old Master Tang slammed the table so hard that Tang Shaoxiong shuddered slightly.

The Tang family is powerful and well-established, but it also needs wealth for support. Whether it is cooperating with other families or recruiting followers, the source of funds must rely on the Shengtang Group.

Tang Shaoxiong, this rebellious son, cut off the source of funds, damaged the family's reputation, and simply shook the foundation of the family.

Tang Shaoxiong said: "Father, I have reasons why I have to resign."

Mr. Tang said gloomily, "Okay, tell me. If you can't tell me well, you will no longer be a member of the Tang family."

Over the years, the Tang family has gathered and controlled countless helpers through the Shengtang Group, who are scattered all over the country.

Being able to achieve this represents countless efforts, and Tang Shaoxiong's approach may very likely ruin everything.

Tang Shaoxiong wiped his sweat and said, "Father, I found a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... Do you remember the economic turmoil plan I reported to you?"

Mr. Tang said, "Of course I remember. That was your own plan. It has nothing to do with the Tang family. You are not allowed to use the Tang family's manpower."

Tang Shaoxiong said, "Don't worry, I will never use the power of the Tang family. I recently got a more explosive news. The economic situation in the Federation is also very bad. I found a huge fortune."

"What's going on?" Mr. Tang asked with a frown.

Tang Shaoxiong said: "The Federation is in an extremely weak state due to the economic cycle. It can be said that their entire society is on the verge of collapse. If they collapse, it will be a global economic depression... If we can help the country turn the tide at this time and make the Federation fall from the altar, then our Tang family will become a great hero in the eyes of more than one billion people!"

Mr. Tang immediately understood the interests involved.

He stared at Tang Shaoxiong and said, "Where did you get the news?"

Tang Shaoxiong said: "I know a friend in the Federation, he is very powerful."

"Who?"

"The founder of the Atomic Fund, Mr. George."

Old Master Tang looked suspicious. Of course he knew who George was and what George had done, but what did this matter have to do with George?

Tang Shaoxiong explained: "Mr. George's wealth has reached the point where he can't spend it all. He pursues fame and wants to go down in history... We have discussed this many times. George is a very good partner. If I can guide the Federation to take action, he will be confident enough to completely short the Federation's economy and profit from it."

This time, Tang Shaoxiong did not hide anything and told Old Man Tang all his plans except for Jia Guotao's arrest.

After hearing this, Mr. Tang remained silent for a long time.

He could see that this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but the prerequisite for seizing the opportunity was that Tang Shaoxiong was telling the truth and George had the ability and willingness to make money with Tang Shaoxiong.

Mr. Tang said with a sullen face: "You should have discussed it with me before doing anything, instead of acting first and asking for permission later, which would have shaken the foundation of the Tang family."

Tang Shaoxiong quickly explained, "Father, I have never betrayed my family. You can see clearly that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... In addition, I have only given up on Shengtang Group on the surface. The senior executives inside still only listen to my orders, including those people all over the country who have gained benefits through Shengtang Group. As long as we continue to deliver benefits, they will still listen to our arrangements."

Elder Tang sneered, "I know that you left for two reasons. First, to avoid your own risks and get the Tang family out of trouble. Second, through your resignation, the market value of Shengtang Group will plummet, which will indirectly cause the domestic economy to fall into greater shocks and provide an opportunity for the Federation to take advantage of."

"Have you ever thought that this is the weakest time for Shengtang Group, and our opponents are likely to take advantage of the situation and make you turn your fake into real, and completely destroy Shengtang Group?"

"If you want to act and let go temporarily, you have to find reliable people. Don't you understand this principle?"

Tang Shaoxiong understood this truth, but he absolutely could not do as his father wanted, because he knew very well that in his father's eyes, the only ones who were truly reliable were his direct descendants, that is, the three brothers of the Tang family.

Tang Shaoying is now in a high position. If he hands over Shengtang Group to Tang Shaohao, Tang Shaoxiong may never get back his wealth and status.

Facing his father's questioning, Tang Shaoxiong grinned and said, "I understand what you said, but don't forget that the key to our success lies in Mr. George on the other side of the ocean. It was Mr. George's idea that I temporarily leave the group. He only trusts me..."

"Besides, I am also doing this for the good of our family. If anything goes wrong, I will bear the risk myself. I cannot let you, my eldest brother, and my third brother get hurt."

Mr. Tang looked at him coldly, and after a long while he said, "Forget it, it has already happened, and it is useless for me to punish you."

Tang Shaoxiong knew that his father hated him to death. If today's events did not have a perfect outcome, he would definitely be blacklisted from his family.

"You are far-sighted and prudent. You must be able to see that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I also want to seize it, take advantage of George's opportunity, and become the hero who destroys the federal hegemony."

Tang Shaoxiong swore solemnly with a sincere look on his face.

Mr. Tang sighed, poured a glass of water for Tang Shaoxiong and said, "Don't be nervous. You are sweating. You know, my requirement for you is to proceed steadily and take the right path. Don't take any detours."

"No matter what you do, you must be patient and leave yourself a way out. You are the son of a wealthy family, and you must not take risks."

Tang Shaoxiong nodded repeatedly.

Mr. Tang said: "The die is cast, you can only keep working on it and get it done... I will use water instead of wine, I wish you success."

"Thank you father."

Tang Shaoxiong clenched his fists. Judging from the old man's attitude, as long as things were done, his position in the family would be secure.

This is the opportunity for him to make a complete comeback after years of hard work.

Thinking of this, Tang Shaoxiong took the cup of water and drank it all.
