That Li Zhongquan was interrogated by the police, and he quickly confessed to everything. It turned out that the situation of the Zhou family was very bad recently, which made everyone panic. Li Zhongquan's wife and son entrusted him with the relationship, and they are all working in the company under the Zhou Group, and Li Zhongquan's son is still working in the health care product company where the accident occurred, Li Zhongquan was worried that his son would also be implicated, so he asked his wife to take his son to travel abroad, and it was not too late to come back when the matter here had a result.

Because I don't know how long I have to hide when I go out this time, if I travel to Europe and the United States and other countries, I am afraid that the cost will be a little unbearable for Li Zhongquan, so he chose Thailand, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian tourist routes. Who knew that the mother and son arrived in Thailand, and shortly after they got off the plane, they were immediately kidnapped. Immediately afterwards, the mother and son's fingers were chopped off by each of them and mailed directly to Li Zhongquan's hands, and along with the fingers, there was also a CD, which clearly recorded the scene of Li Zhongquan's wife and son being cut off their fingers.

Then the kidnappers made their demands...... No matter what method Li Zhongquan used, he must kill Zhou Zhengxiang within three days, otherwise his wife and son will be broken into pieces by them and thrown into the sea to feed the fish. If Li Zhongquan kills Zhou Zhengxiang within the specified time, as long as he can escape to the nearest port to Dangyang by himself, they will be responsible for smuggling him out of the country and reuniting with his wife and children in Thailand.

To be honest, Li Zhongquan has been with Zhou Zhengxiang for most of his life, and Zhou Zhengxiang is really good to him. If he just asked Li Zhongquan to betray Zhou Zhengxiang with some news or something, he wouldn't be too embarrassed, but now those kidnappers let him kill Zhou Zhengxiang with his own hands, which made it difficult for him to do it, even if the other party threatened him with his relatives, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

However, when the kidnappers came up with evidence that Li Zhongquan had embezzled 1.8 million yuan from the Zhou Group three years ago because of his position, and said that if Zhou Zhengxiang had not died three days later, this evidence would have been sent to Zhou Zhengxiang immediately, Li Zhongquan completely collapsed. If he took his wife and son for Zhou Zhengxiang, but in the end, Zhou Zhengxiang spit on him...... Wouldn't his current insistence become a joke?

So Li Zhongquan gritted his teeth and finally had to make this difficult decision...... After analyzing the evidence obtained by the police, it was concluded that it was a killer organization in Southeast Asia that kidnapped Li Zhongquan's wife and son and forced Li Zhongquan to kill people, and that the killers who shot and wounded Zhou Zhengxiang before were likely members of this organization.

In fact, it is true that the killer organization "Shadow", which often operates in Southeast Asia, is the first killer organization to take over the task of assassinating Zhou Zhengxiang on the black market killer network, but because Zhou Zhengxiang's protection measures are very good, they finally found an opportunity to assassinate Zhou Zhengxiang, and in the end, although Zhou Zhengxiang was injured, he did not complete the task. After that, the police's level of protection for Zhou Zhengxiang increased, and Zhou Zhengxiang was seriously injured and could not leave the hospital at all, so that the killer organization had no chance to take action. However, the time limit for the completion of the task they received was almost up, and if the task could not be completed beyond the pre-agreed time limit, not only would the killer organization not get a penny of the county bounty, but also the mission deposit they had given to the black market killer network would also be lost. In desperation, this killer organization hit the people around Zhou Zhengxiang with the idea. As a result, at this time, it happened that Li Zhongquan sent his wife and children to Thailand, and they naturally would not let go of such a great opportunity...... After Zhou Ziwei learned the truth of the matter, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Zhou Zixu was behind this matter. Although he has no family affection for the Zhou family, he can't deny that the blood flowing in his body is constantly connected with Zhou Zixu. Although he mentally only admits that his parents and sister who are still living in Zhongdu are his relatives, but physically, he is indeed the brother of Zhou Zixu.

Therefore, Zhou Ziwei instinctively didn't want Zhou Zixu to be a ruthless person who could slaughter his own father, and now that he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Zhou Zixu, he was naturally very happy.

Now that Zhou Zhengxiang is dead, Zhou Zixu's risk factor has increased greatly, and Zhou Ziwei will become the absolute controlling person of the Zhou Group after Zhou Zhengxiang, and the chairman of the group who deserves his name in essence.

Zhou Ziwei didn't want to worry about his life every day in the future, and he didn't want his "younger brother" to be killed after Zhou Zhengxiang. And...... If the Zhou Group wants to get out of the predicament and get out of the downturn, it is not enough for Zhou Ziwei to inject a promising project into the group company.

As long as the shadow of the assassination county reward is still there, then the entire company from top to bottom will inevitably be in danger, the workers have no intention of working, and the managers have no heart to manage, so how much money such a company invests is absolutely in the water. So...... Three days later, after Zhou Zhengxiang's funeral was held in a low-key manner, all the shareholders of the group company were invited to the largest villa of the Zhou family in Dangyang to hold the first general meeting of shareholders after Zhou Zhengxiang's death.

Although Zhou Ziwei is just a waste material with more than enough success and more than failure in the eyes of everyone, but because he holds 51% of the shares of Zhou's Group in his hands, he already has an absolute controlling stake in Zhou's Group, so whether those small shareholders are willing or not, Zhou Ziwei has naturally become the most powerful person in Zhou's Group.

Although in a relatively formal large group company like theirs, it does not mean that as long as you have an absolute controlling stake, you will necessarily become the chairman of the board of directors of the group company, and the appointment of the chairman of the board of directors still needs to be elected through negotiation by all shareholders. However, now Zhou Ziwei has a monopoly of 51 percent of the shares, Zhou Zixu also holds 23 percent of the shares, and the other small shareholders hold only 8 percent of the shares, and most of them only have 3 or 5 percent of the shares. Therefore, to elect the chairman, it can only be between Zhou Ziwei and Zhou Zixu, and Zhou Zixu saw that Zhou Ziwei came strongly, and it seemed that the position of chairman was inevitable, although Zhou Zixu also felt that his brother was not that material, but in front of outsiders, he would not dismantle Zhou Ziwei's platform anyway, so he was the first to agree with Zhou Ziwei as the chairman of the group company.

Seeing that Zhou Zixu also expressed his position, the other small shareholders naturally had nothing to say, so the board of directors passed the resolution to appoint Zhou Ziwei as the new chairman of the Zhou Group in a harmonious atmosphere. But...... To say that Zhou Ziwei can successfully become the chairman, in fact, Zhou Zixu's support is still secondary, mainly because Zhou's Group is now on the verge of bankruptcy, and there seems to be little possibility of returning to heaven, so those small shareholders basically have no illusions about the shares they hold, and once the company really goes bankrupt, the first unlucky person must be the chairman of the company, so ...... Since Zhou Ziwei wants to fight for this position, let him fight for it, there will be times when he regrets it!

Several small shareholders almost all reported this kind of thinking, so they didn't care about letting a scrap material serve as the chairman, otherwise if the Zhou Group was still thriving, they would definitely say that they would not agree to anything. As for whether Zhou Zixu also reported the same thoughts as them...... Then only Zhou Zixu knows it in his heart...... Zhou Ziwei officially ascended the throne of the chairman of the Zhou Group, and immediately announced his first decision after taking office - all the personnel of the group company from top to bottom will be given a paid holiday for one month, and whether they will go to work after one month will be notified separately. During the holiday, the company's financial accounts are all frozen, so as to avoid someone trying to take advantage of the fire. All issues will be dealt with when the company is back up and running...... And Luan Yuqing was also officially appointed as the assistant to the chairman of the Zhou Group, assisting Zhou Ziwei in managing the entire Zhou Group, and even in Zhou Ziwei's absence, she can replace Zhou Ziwei to handle some work that is not particularly important.

Zhou Ziwei's decision surprised the directors who attended the meeting, they saw that Zhou Ziwei was so keen on the chairman's position, and thought that he, the new official, would definitely make some big moves after taking office, and toss a few handfuls to show his courage! But he never imagined that Zhou Ziwei would let the whole company amplify the fake on the first day of his tenure...... Fortunately, these shareholders have lost confidence in Zhou's anyway, and they don't expect how many of their shares will be left, and before that, Zhou's three pharmaceutical companies and a health care product company have been ordered to suspend business for rectification and investigation, so although Zhou Ziwei's decision seems a little inexplicable, it has not been resisted too much by those directors. As for Zhou Ziwei's appointment of Luan Yuqing, there is no hindrance, a chairman has just taken office, and it is normal to promote one or two henchmen to the top.

Although the henchman appointed by Zhou Ziwei looks too young and beautiful, and his power seems to be slightly greater, no one cares about him anymore. Zhou Ziwei's absurdity and lustfulness, which is well-known far and wide, and it is naturally not uncommon for him to support a beautiful woman to take the position. And this assistant Luan looks decently behaved and dignified, and he doesn't look like a nightclub lady that Zhou Ziwei soaked in from a nightclub, which has already surprised them. Otherwise, if Zhou Ziwei really insists on getting a pheasant to be an executive of the group company, then they really have no choice!

After the end of the board of directors and the departure of all Dong Dong under the escort of the police, Zhou Zixu walked to Zhou Ziwei's side and sat down silently, and only after a while did he sigh softly and said, "Brother...... I have no problem with you wanting to be the chairman, but ...... I hope you can treat this company well for the sake of your dead mother, after all...... Although the name of this company is Zhou's, it was actually founded by our mother back then, and I think my mother would not want to see the company she put in so much effort destroyed in our hands! ”

Zhou Ziwei smiled slightly when he heard this, turned around and went to the wine cabinet to take out a bottle of red wine, opened it and poured two glasses, then brought it to the sofa, handed one of the glasses to Zhou Zixu, he raised the glass himself and took a sip before he spoke: "You don't think that I am taking revenge on my father, so I specially fought for the position of chairman, and then I can bring the Zhou Group to the point of bankruptcy, right?" ”

Zhou Zixu didn't answer, just looked at Zhou Ziwei quietly with a wine glass, but that look was already tantamount to acquiescence.

Zhou Ziwei shook his head lightly and said, "If you are now the chairman of the company and let you manage it...... How sure are you that you can get the Zhou Group out of the predicament and out of the crisis of bankruptcy? ”

This time, Zhou Zixu frowned and thought about it, and only after a while did he shake his head with a wry smile and said, "No...... I'm not sure! But...... Even if I know it's impossible, I will still do my best to fight, even if the final result still hasn't changed, but ...... At least I can be ashamed! ”

"That's it......" Zhou Ziwei raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup dry, and then said: "Since even if I become the chairman of the board of directors in a normal way, the Zhou Group still can't escape the fate of bankruptcy, so why do you think I have to be a villain in vain and destroy the Zhou Group with my own hands?" ”

Zhou Zixu was stunned for a moment, yes...... Now even if his brother tries to do good, he still can't change the fate of the Zhou Group, so why does he have to do it as if he wants to destroy the Zhou Group with his own hands?

Zhou Ziwei put down his wine glass and said lightly: "Although our Zhou Group has a department store and a trading company in addition to a pharmaceutical factory and a health care product company, there is also a department store and a trading company that can operate normally, and there will be some profits for the time being, but ...... How much motivation do you think Zhou's employees will have when the Zhou Group may go bankrupt at any time? How much more integrity will there be with our customers? In our current situation, those former partners and customers can only fall into the ground, and will only rack their brains on how to dig out a brick and get a piece of the pie from the building of the Zhou family. So I think that in this case, letting the company continue to operate will only make Zhou's situation worse and worse, and on the contrary, it is necessary to decisively freeze everything in order to maintain Zhou's existing interests, so I can only make such a decision. ”

Zhou Zixu felt that there seemed to be some truth when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately shook his head and said, "But even if this can maintain the interests of the Zhou family for the time being, what about a month later?" If nothing changes, then the outcome will not be the same? Do you want to wait a month and then freeze again? In that case, I'm afraid it will only get worse and worse! ”

"One month should be enough time to change something!" Zhou Ziwei smiled lightly and said, "Trust me...... The Zhou family will stand up again! ”

Zhou Zixu looked at Zhou Ziwei's confident smile with some astonishment, and he was very dazed...... This...... Or is it his waste brother who only knows how to spend all day drinking, eating, drinking and gambling?

…………………………………………………… The two large boxes of jadeite scraps mailed from Tengchong were finally sent, and after Zhou Ziwei collected them, he rearranged them, picked out more than 100 pieces of the most valuable scraps, and stored them separately in the bank's vault. And the others were pulled into the courtyard of the Zhou family's mansion.

Zhou Zhengxiang only distributed the Zhou equity in his hands before his death, and the property owned by him was not specially distributed in a will, so although Zhou Ziwei has nothing to do with Zhou Zhengxiang in terms of blood, he is still Zhou Zhengxiang's eldest son in law and has the same property inheritance rights as Zhou Zhengxiang, so he ...... Zhou Ziwei also has a copy of several properties in this week. Among them, the largest mansion of the Zhou family was inherited by his eldest son, and although the rest of the properties are relatively small, but together, the total value is far more than twice that of this big mansion, and those properties are owned by Zhou Zixu and Zhou Zhengxiang's wife Lin Zijia, who only married a few years ago.

So...... Now this big mansion is already Zhou Ziwei's private property, but because it is an extraordinary period, the people of the Zhou family need to live together and accept the protection of the police, so Zhou Ziwei naturally will not kick them out of "his own home", but Zhou Ziwei himself still lives in a two-story villa in the New Century Community.

However, these two large boxes of jade scraps are really inappropriate to be placed in a small villa, although the community has repeatedly publicized and advocated how advanced and comprehensive the security measures of this community are, but Zhou Ziwei has met the killer who comes and goes here more than once, and he can't avoid watching these two boxes of treasures at home, so he has no choice but to pull these things to the mansion and seal them first. After all, it's much safer to have 24-hour police protection there, so it's much safer than here.

With the backing of this batch of jadeite scraps, even if the Zhou Group is really completely bankrupt and bankrupt, Zhou Ziwei can completely use this batch of jadeite to rebuild a Zhou Group that is not weaker than the original heyday. It's just that if you do it like that, you don't have to say how much money it will cost, and the time wasted is what makes Zhou Ziwei feel distressed the most. After all, to create a company as large as the Zhou Group, it takes more time than a year and a half to complete, and it will take a lot of time just for infrastructure construction. So...... Zhou Ziwei will not give up the current Zhou Group no matter what.

After doing all this...... Zhou Ziwei finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare for his counterattack......
