On the way home, Zhang Ping had mixed feelings.

Speaking of which, it was the first time he had seen a dead man. And died right under his nose.

This made him feel agitated and couldn't calm down for a long time.

By the time he got home, it was late at night.

As soon as he walked to the front of the main building, Li Tie's hurried figure walked out.

"Little master, the head of the family has something important to look for you. ”

Li Tie said with a serious face.

Seeing his anxious appearance, Zhang Ping asked suspiciously, "Uncle Li, what's going on, why are you so anxious?"

It's the middle of the night, could it be that something big is happening?

Li Tie didn't say much, and urged: "You'll know in a while." ”

Zhang Ping frowned slightly, and didn't ask anything more.

Subsequently, he followed Li Tie all the way to the study.

Pushing open the door, I saw Zhang Shixiong's brows tightly locked, and there was no smile on his old face.

Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa, what happened when you called me in a hurry?"

Raising his cloudy old eyes to look at Zhang Ping, Zhang Shixiong said in a serious voice: "Ping'er, I'm afraid our Zhang family is in a big crisis this time." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ping's heart chuckled.

can make Zhang Shixiong, who has always been scheming, look sad, that must be a big deal!

"What's going on?" Zhang Ping hurriedly asked.

I saw Zhang Shixiong sigh heavily.

Looking at him like this, and then thinking of the abnormalities of the past few days, Zhang Ping vaguely guessed something.

"Is there something wrong with the overseas branch?" he asked tentatively.

Zhang Shixiong nodded slowly, and said heavily: "I thought I could suppress this matter, but I didn't expect it to be so big now." ”

"Grandpa, what the hell is going on?" Zhang Ping frowned slightly and asked suspiciously.

Subsequently, Zhang Shixiong told Zhang Ping the truth of the matter.

It turns out that the overseas branch of Zhang's Group has been expanding vigorously in recent years.

Some time ago, the company's branch just spent a lot of money to acquire a piece of land and prepare to build a local luxury residential business area.

But at this time, Chengtong Group, an overseas giant that has been cooperating with the company, suddenly tore up the contract and wanted to withdraw its investment.

On weekdays, their divestment does not affect the overall situation at all. But now it is different, the company's branch has just won the land at a high price, and there is basically no liquidity now. If Chengtong is allowed to withdraw at this time, the overseas branch will go bankrupt directly.

There is no money to build the land that has just been acquired, and it will face huge compensation.

At that time, it will not only be the bankruptcy of the overseas branch, but even the headquarters of the Zhang family will face a huge crisis.

This is a fatal blow to the Zhang family.

After listening to Zhang Shixiong's narration, Zhang Ping couldn't help frowning.

It seems that this thing has really made a big deal.

This was the first time he had heard the word bankruptcy from the old man's mouth.

In his understanding, the Zhang family has always been a big family, and the word bankruptcy will never fall on their heads.

"Isn't it possible to transfer funds from our Zhang family headquarters to fill this hole?" Zhang Ping asked suspiciously.

Zhang Shixiong shook his head, sighed and said, "No." This time, the hole is too big, I'm afraid it will cost tens of billions. If we withdraw funds from the headquarters, then we will have no liquidity, and I am afraid that there will be a big problem!"

"Then let's just divide this big cake and raise money from the major families in Kyoto, so that they can also get a piece of the pie. Zhang Ping proposed: "Although we make less money, it is better than going bankrupt." ”

Zhang Shixiong still shook his head.

"It doesn't work either. ”

"Why?"

Zhang Shixiong stood up and came to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the night of Kyoto, and said lightly: "In Kyoto, only the big families under our Zhang family can afford this money. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, turned his head to look at Zhang Ping, and said with deep meaning: "You must know that it is easy to let them add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow! If they know about this, I am afraid that the first time is not to share the cake, but to step on a few feet fiercely, and knock our Zhang family to the bottom." ”

"They have been eyeing the position of Kyoto's No. 1 family for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ping was also at a loss.

This doesn't work, it doesn't work, it's a dead end.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became oppressive.

After a long time, Zhang Shixiong looked at Zhang Ping and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, I am still too aggressive, I wanted to make the overseas branch bigger and stronger, and give you a strong Zhang family." Now it seems ......"

Speaking of this, the old man shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Ping's heart moved, and he comforted softly: "Grandpa, don't worry, there will always be a way." ”

Zhang Shixiong put his hands behind his back and was silent for a long time.

"Grandpa, what can I do?" asked Zhang Ping.

Zhang Shixiong smiled with relief and said, "I don't need you to worry about it for the time being." ”

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and said bitterly: "If it really doesn't work, then only a strong man will break his wrist and abandon the overseas branch." ”

How to say that Zhang Ping has also been in the company for a period of time, and he knows more or less about the company's operation.

Although Zhang Shixiong said it lightly, the actual situation is probably much more serious than this.

Abandoning overseas branches is not a trivial matter for our family.

This will inevitably lead to a great loss of vitality in the Zhang family's headquarters, and the major families will definitely wait for the opportunity to move, and the Zhang family will be in great trouble.

As the saying goes, the wall falls and everyone pushes it.

The opportunity to bring down the Zhang family, those people will not let it go easily!

"Alright, it's not too early, you go and rest. Zhang Shixiong waved his hand and said, "The matter of the overseas branch will be discussed at the clan meeting tomorrow." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Ping had no choice but to nod.

"Then grandpa, you should rest early. He comforted softly: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will definitely be a way to solve this matter." ”

Zhang Shixiong smiled at him, then turned his back and looked out the window.

Zhang Ping walked towards the outside of the study, and before closing the door, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Shixiong again, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.

In just a few days, he seemed to be much older again, and his body became more and more rickety.

His eyes darkened, Zhang Ping didn't say anything, and gently took the door and left.

Back in his room, he couldn't calm down while lying on the bed.

Recently, this troublesome thing has come one after another, and it is really exhausting for him physically and mentally.

The matter of the seventh master has not been dealt with yet, and now something has happened to the Zhang family again.

Thinking of Old Man Zhang's old appearance, his heart was sour.

For so long, he has been under the protection of the Zhang family, and it is time to do something for the Zhang family.

This Zhang family is not Zhang Shixiong's Zhang family alone, and it is time for him to share some of the burden for the old man.

Thinking about the matter of the overseas branch, Zhang Ping fell into deep thought......
