If it weren't for the real big thing, Zhou Ming wouldn't have rushed back from Iraq in a hurry, but now it seems that the matter here is more serious than a day ago.

Zhou Ming would not conclude what happened because of Tang Ran's words, after all, in Zhou Ming's eyes, Tang Ran is a cute little girl, even if she has taken over her father's banner and become the patriarch of the Tang family, but she still doesn't understand anything, the Tang family is such a heavyweight family with a history of more than 150 years, and it is the core family of the California consortium, how can it be so easy to collapse?

What really made Zhou Ming make a judgment was the person standing behind Tang Ran, Lin Muqing, Tong Gang and Li Cheng needless to say here, as well as Tang Jingsheng, the head of the ancestral hall of the Tang family, Tang Huiyin, the most important woman in the clan association, as well as Tang Yi, Tang Wan'er and Tang Lin, and even Jobs were here. Since these people are here, the bodyguards around them are very conscious of isolating everyone, as if a humanoid barrier has been established in the crowd.

It is also because so many important people are here to pick themselves up, then the meaning is obvious, if it weren't for the huge changes, they wouldn't be so boring to do such a prank.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Zhou Ming did not rush to say anything, but first asked Lin Muqing to take everyone to the car and go back to the hotel, and sat down in the conference room.

In fact, in this conference room, with Zhou Ming's seniority and qualifications, he only sat in the middle position, but everyone's eyes were faintly centered on Zhou Ming, which is no wonder, after all, if they could find a way, Zhou Ming would not come back in such a hurry.

Zhou Ming then asked everyone: "Sister Muqing, what is the situation now? You called me before, didn't you just say that Tang Yu was arrested by the FBI? Why is it that now there is a crisis in the entire Tang family?"

For Zhou Ming's question, Tang Jingsheng took the initiative to stand up and answer: "Let's talk about me, it was indeed only Tang Yu who was investigated by the FBI before, but then Tang An initiated the shareholders' meeting of Tang Bank to require a thorough investigation of the bank's recent business, so as not to let Tang Bank also provoke a treason investigation, his suggestion was supported by the majority of the bank's shareholders, and said that if it is not implemented, they will initiate a recall procedure against Tang Ran." ”

Zhou Ming looked at Tang Jingsheng stunned and asked, "What is this Tang An?"

Tang Jingsheng felt a little embarrassed in the face of this question: "He is also a member of the ancestral hall of the Tang family, owns 10% of the shares of Tang Bank, and also owns the network technology industry and insurance company, which is a relatively strong branch of the family. Usually relying on his influence on the Tang Bank, he has taken care of a lot of favors for the children of other families, so his call can still be supported by many people, especially ......"

Tang Jingsheng glanced at Tang Ran at the end, looking very hesitant, Zhou Ming understood what he meant at a glance, so Zhou Ming took over and said, "Especially for Tang Ran, right?"

Tang Jingsheng nodded yes, Zhou Ming sighed in his heart Sure enough, although the Tang family has Tang Jingsheng who adheres to the rules of the ancestral discipline and insists on selecting the most capable patriarch for the family, there are still some people who think that Tang Ran and they came from China to rob their assets, so they are full of resentment towards Tang Ran, who inherited the property in the end, just like Tang Yu at the beginning.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is an imbalance in the heart from their own point of view, they have regarded the Tang family as their own property, thinking that Tang Ran and her father are just here to enjoy their success, and they don't know how much help they can bring to the family, and more importantly, the development of the family can also drive their better development, they can't see the benefits that Zuxun brings to themselves, and they can't see that their current industry is brought to them by such an "unfair" Zuxun, so they will only blindly resent.

It is precisely because of the backlog of resentment in my heart that in the past, I didn't dare to make a mistake because of the family rules on my head, but now with Tang An's raised arms, naturally these people jumped out.

Of course, it would be nice if it was just according to the rules of the Tang family, but the problem is that this is the United States, which symbolizes the rule of law and freedom, where everything must abide by the law, no matter what the rules of the Tang family are, the law must be the criterion. Therefore, as long as Tang An has the right to circumvent the family rules and directly file a lawsuit with the court, demanding the removal of Tang Ran as chairman.

The consequence of this is to break with the Tang family, because no matter where Tang Ran is from, at least she is now recognized by the ancestral hall clan association, and she is the patriarch of the Tang family, and removing her as president now is tantamount to fighting against the family to remove the patriarch.

Then, if Tang An's actions are supported according to California law, the fact that Tang An dares to do so proves that someone must be able to manipulate this lawsuit, and finally forcibly dismiss Tang Ran from the position of chairman of Tang Bank. In this way, Tang Ran's prestige and appeal originally had to be maintained by Tang Bank, but now that this is the only thing removed, Tang Ran can stand aside, and the rest is the strength of the family to speak.

Originally, the rules for the family to choose an heir were to avoid this happening, and Tang Jingsheng, in order to maintain the ancestral training, must support Tang Ran and fight with Tang An's faction to the end, then this will cause internal division of the Tang family, and this is the purpose of Tang An or the forces behind him. This gave Tang Jingsheng a headache, on the contrary, for Tang An, he could be more unscrupulous.

"I sent someone to find out who was behind them, but so far I don't have a clue. Tang Jingsheng said, "It's not that I'm boasting, my intelligence system is very powerful in the whole of California, but now I have borrowed a lot of special authority from the police, but there is still no result, so I can conclude that this time it must be an extraordinary force." ”

Zhou Ming expressed his understanding of this, you must know that Tang Ran, the patriarch who relies on Tang Bank to shape his influence, currently only accounts for 30% of the shares of Tang Bank, and Tang An has 10%, so it is conceivable that his status in the Tang family is conceivable.

So to instruct such an important figure of the Tang family to do this kind of thing, the power behind it can be imagined, not to mention how strong, but it will definitely not be simple, if the other party really doesn't want to come forward, then with Tang Jingsheng's energy, it is naturally impossible to find out.

"So is there any movement from other consortia or families now?" Zhou Ming asked.

Tang Jingsheng shook his head: "At present, the time for things to happen is too short, and all consortia and families are still in a wait-and-see state. ”

This is not surprising, since the opponent can plot such a divisive trick, then it is not so impatient to jump out when the situation is not clear.

Zhou Ming asked another question: "Then what is the cause of the whole thing? Is it because Tang Yu was arrested by the FBI?"

Tang Jingsheng nodded and replied yes, he also glanced at Zhou Ming before continuing: "Because someone reported that Tang Yu supported the Kingston laboratory of Skunk Works, suspected of smuggling and selling high-tech weapons to Iraq during the Gulf War, Tang Yu will be investigated on seventy-eight charges including treason, war crimes and smuggling." Tang An also used this as an excuse to suspect that Tang Ren Bank supported Tang Yu's war smuggling, so he asked for an investigation of Tang Bank's accounts. ”

"Feelings, this is still a problem for me. Zhou Ming said with a smile, "I did support the war in Iraq, but Tang Ran did not participate, and if they wanted to investigate, let them investigate." ”

"I thought the same way at the beginning, but when I asked Tang Ran to cooperate with the accounting company to audit the accounts, I found that many Tang family business shares were secretly sold and transferred to the name of an investment bank controlled by Tang An through an overseas company.

Speaking of this, Tang Jingsheng sighed heavily: "How can I not want his purpose to be just to check the accounts, and simply not want the Tang family not to be involved in the judicial investigation of treason? ”

"So now you don't know who is behind all this, you don't know what the other party's purpose is, and you don't know how things will develop next, right?" Zhou Ming asked.

"So we're in a pretty passive position right now. Tang Jingsheng said.

"Then there is another question, how did the FBI find out that Tang Yu smuggled arms to Iraq?" Zhou Ming asked.

Tang Jingsheng replied: "I have checked, this is a clue provided to the FBI by an organization called the Sea Shark Society, this Sea Shark Society is a gangster organization established by the French, with as many as 1,000 members. ”

"Then it's simple, first of all, let's provide the FBI and the police with evidence of the Sea Shark Club's crimes, and return the favor to the other side, and let the police destroy their dens and industries, and arrest their people, and then deal with Tang An's industry, cut off his capital supply chain on the side of Tang Bank, and then destroy the company under his name. Zhou Ming said.

With Zhou Ming's words, everyone was stunned, and looked at Zhou Ming with some incredulity.

Facing the stunned surroundings, Zhou Ming asked curiously, "Is there any problem?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Tang Huiyin stood up and said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, these methods you said are not difficult to do, but isn't the top priority now to find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible?"

Tang Huiyin's words were unanimously agreed by everyone else, but Zhou Ming asked rhetorically: "Can you find it?"

This sentence made everyone speechless, Zhou Ming continued: "I know that this is a method, and I also know that the sea shark will and Tang An are just puppets placed in front of the stage by the other party, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is still hiding in the dark eating melon seeds and watching the show, of course, catching this behind-the-scenes mastermind is the most fundamental way to solve the problem, otherwise whether it is the sea shark club or Tang An, it will be a symptom rather than a cure." ”

Zhou Ming said this, and suddenly changed his words and said: "But now the problem is that our enemy is too cunning, and it will be difficult for us to find him out of the shadows in a short time, but we don't do anything, so I'm sorry, we can only take the Sea Shark Society and Tang An to fight." ”

"Aren't they puppets in front of the stage? Aren't they relying on someone behind them to help them back? Then we will kill them, and the person behind them will come out to support them if they have the ability, and if they don't have the guts of this dog, they will continue to be his shrunken turtle!" Zhou Ming said.

"But what if the mastermind behind the scenes arranges more sea sharks to meet Tang An?" asked Tang Jingsheng.

"One killed one, two killed a pair, and when he cut off his outstretched hands and feet, I see what else he can do, do you want to jump out and go into battle shirtless!" Zhou Ming said firmly.
