Chapter 466: Fight to the DeathTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Lü Yingda? Of course I'm aware of what happened to him!” Hong Weiguo's eyes flashed, then he quickly restrained himself. Naturally, he knew about the telecommunication heavyweight Lü Yingda that Cheng Qifu mentioned. Last season, Lü Yingda had control over close to half of the Heavenly State's population's instant messenger. His annual profit was close to 6 million yuan. Yet, he had suddenly disappeared without a trace and without anyone to stop it. Yet, precisely because he was too insolent, he did not respect anyone in the Resource Chamber of Commerce. He had even gone after the position of old oligarch number five in the Resource Chamber of Commerce.

In the end, more than half of the inner circle members of the Resource Chamber of Commerce submitted a written statement of impeachment and oligarch number five ultimately nodded his head in agreement.

Telecommunication heavyweight Lü Yingda was kicked out of the Resource Chamber of Commerce.

Subsequently, all the inner circle members of the Resource Chamber of Commerce immediately began to encircle and suppress Lü Yingda. You must know that when a person's a.s.sets were worth ten billion yuan, his various social connections and resources were quite scary.

The commercial world was far beyond the imagination of the layman, with people in both the righteous and wicked path with all kinds of goods and materials sold.

As was expected, two years, two years was all it took for a legend like Lü Yingda, with a total a.s.set worth 6 billion yuan, to be brought down. His company declared bankruptcy and he became penniless. He committed suicide and ended his life. His life that was on its path to magnificent success was ended like that.

With someone's experiences being the example of the expected path to follow, Hong Weiguo naturally understood its significance. However, since today's matters were related to Hong Dali, Hong Weiguo humphed coldly. “But so what? Are all of you so sure that you can threaten me after mentioning about Lü Yingda's failure?”

“Threaten you. If you consider it a threat, then let it be.” Qian Guangzhao laughed loudly. “The number of people here is considered pretty large. If they formed a coalition, it's possible for them to kick you out of the Resource Chamber of Commerce.”

“Haha, great!” After hearing Qian Guangzhao's words, Hong Weiguo narrowed his eyes slightly. An instant later, he suddenly burst out laughing. “Since you already said so, then I will cut to the chase!” Hong Weiguo stood on the spot and looked around. He smiled condescendingly and said, “I'm aware that all of you are afraid! All of you are afraid of my Dali's incomparable luck! Regardless of whether I made the trip here today, your plans have already been set in place.”

Speaking till this point, he stretched out his fist and raised his thumb. Under everyone's focused gaze, he slowly turned around before speaking solemnly, “Y'all have guts. Y'all can give it a try, we'll see who's smiling at the end of this!”

After saying his piece, Hong Weiguo turned around and left without ever looking back!

Everyone in the meeting room was speechless in astonishment. Abruptly, everyone realized the significance of Hong Weiguo's words.

It seemed like the rumors were not exaggerated at all. All the members of the Hong Family competed in covering each others' mistakes! Extremely covering!

They had long heard about the incident where Hong Dali generously spent five million yuan and suppressed Cabinet Society's underground influence for a subordinate's lackey. Up till now, they had only discussed how they could limit Hong Dali's freedom. Yet, Hong Weiguo had come here and publicly declared war!

Even though there were thirty inner circle members of the Resource Chamber of Commerce present, all those who heard Hong Weiguo's words still got cold feet.

If they really were to be a fight till death, then things would really be troubling.

Hong Weiguo was a genius, a commerce genius through and through. If he were really kicked out of the Resource Chamber of Commerce, based on the influence from his social connections, the support from Mu Tie and Liu Yihui's interconnection to two other families, and Hong Dali that perplexed everyone, it would bring everyone involved an unfathomable amount of trouble.

That kind of trouble could not be handled by anyone, especially if he focused solely on one person.

n.o.body, definitely n.o.body was willing to become Hong Weiguo's cannon fodder.

Even Qian Guangzhao, whose family had 45 billion yuan, could not flash a smile after hearing Hong Weiguo's words.

The influence possessed by the interconnections from Hong Weiguo, Mu Tie, and Liu Yihui's three families together with Hong Dali's incomparable luck…

“Director Hong!” As Gong Zhiwen, who had been standing aside all along, helplessly watched Hong Weiguo walk into the distance, he suddenly took a few steps forward urgently and caught up to him. “What matter cannot be settled amicably. You see, there's no need for the current impa.s.se. This is really…”

“Hehe, a distinctive stand? What is there left to say?” Hong Weiguo slowly turned around before staring at Gong Zhiwen, saying slowly, “You want to gain from both sides. I'm afraid it's not that easy. Now, I'll give you a chance to choose. Support me or them.”

“Director Hong, I… I…” After all, Gong Zhiwen was still young. He had only taken over his family's business not long ago and yet was faced with such a big decision. It was sufficient to say that once a choice was made, there would be no turning back. Life or death would be decided at that moment!

Actually, Gong Zhiwen had originally planned to not get himself involved in the matter. However, the pressure Hong Dali exerted on others was simply too great.

He was a wastrel indeed, an extremely huge wastrel.

The problem lied with the fact that he possessed extraordinary luck. Everyone present was unable to ignore this fact. When everyone mentioned Hong Dali, the thought in everyone's mind would be—”He's too miraculous!”

Hence, Gong Zhiwen was really put on the spot this time.

If it were according to the winning percentage, the inner circle of members from the Resource Chamber of Commerce would definitely appear to be stronger. However, in Gong Zhiwen's subconsciousness, there was a voice telling him that he definitely could not take Qian Guangzhao's side. He could not describe the exact reason, but that feeling was vividly clear.

While he hesitated, Gong Zhiwen finally recalled a matter that happened in the past.

After he recalled the past incident, he figured that since his day of birth, Gong Zhiwen had never prayed so devotedly, “Hong Dali, this brother's family members' lives are on the line! You can casually take a gamble on the quality of rocks and still reap from the gamble. I definitely believe in this luck of yours!”

Thinking up to this point, Gong Zhiwen's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. Finally, he slowly replied, “Director Hong, I'll leave with you!”

“Haha! Great!” Hong Weiguo laughed heartily and slapped Gong Zhiwen's shoulder hard. “You have foresight! In the future, you are going to be my most loyal ally! I will definitely share the benefits with you!”

At this moment, Qian Guangzhao, who stood outside the meeting room, said darkly, “Hong Weiguo, are you sure?”

“Of course!” Hong Weiguo looked at Qian Guangzhao loftily before laughing. “In my opinion, all of you are just a group of sheep without a shepherd. You definitely can't lay a finger on our Dali! Dali is my son, regardless of whether he is a wastrel or a genius. He is still my son. I will fight anyone who dares to lay a finger on him to death. I, Hong Weiguo, am a man of my word. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try!”

“Alright! Alright!” Qian Guangzhao was so angry he almost laughed bitterly.

The meeting held today was initiated by him. If so many people present were suppressed by Hong Weiguo alone, he knew he would not be any different from them in the future.

“Hong Weiguo, you are capable, even more so ruthless!” Qian Guangzhao gritted his teeth in anger. “Let's see who will emerge victorious this time! Please!”

After finis.h.i.+ng saying his piece, the entire meeting room was in silence momentarily, before instantly erupting in loud complaints. “We are over, we are over. This time we really are on the path to a fight to the death. This time we…” “We don't have a choice. It's too late to say anything now aside from walking down this path.” “Hong Weiguo is too wild. Let's see who will emerge stronger at the end of this!” “Indeed, where did he get the confidence to declare war against more than half of the inner circle members?”

Everyone discussed the incident for a while before quieting into complete silence.

It was due to the fact that everyone was awaiting Hong Weiguo's reply.

“Wait for the outcome from the Chamber of Commerce. Farewell!” Hong Weiguo smiled coldly before patting Gong Zhiwen's shoulder. “Alright, let's go.”

The two of them left at once.

“So arrogant!” Cheng Qifu humphed angrily. “Does he really think he is invincible?”

“Don't say that.” Black Widow w.a.n.g Yingqiu sat down slowly and said lightly, “Hong Weiguo is very impressive.”

Gong Zhiwen waited till they left the meeting room before he finally said dejectedly, “Director Hong, this time I really took a big gamble. It's either life or death! The fact that I left with you means that I offended everyone present in the meeting room. Thinking about it now, it still seems so miraculous to me. It's just a pity that it's too late to regret it now.”

“You regret it?” Hong Weiguo smiled. “Perhaps if you return now, it's not too late.”

“I don't have a choice. There are more than thirty inner circle members. Even though the total influence of my family is still far from that of the Qian Family, but it's still comparable to that of Cheng Qifu and w.a.n.g Yingqiu at more than 20 billion yuan.” Gong Zhiwen laughed bitterly. “If I made a wrong gamble this time, I figure that this large sum of more than 20 billion yuan will be gone. Director Hong, if you were in my place, would you be worried?”

“I'll be worried, haha! Of course I will be worried!” Gong Zhiwen was being honest with himself and Hong Weiguo was happy hearing his words. “I greatly admire you for the fact that you dare to be honest with yourself. Rest a.s.sured, if I reap benefits, you will too.” As Hong Weiguo finished his words, he fished out a jade tobacco pipe that seemed to be of poor workmans.h.i.+p. “Look at this gadget. My family's wastrel tinkered with it. Why don't you guess it's price.”

“This… This…” Gong Zhiwen received the tobacco pipe and looked at it from top to bottom. “This jade is of good quality. However, the problem lies with this workmans.h.i.+p… Director Hong, a kid probably fooled around and made this tobacco pipe, right? This jade is originally worth more than 100,000 yuan, but with this workmans.h.i.+p, it probably can only be sold for its original price of 100,000 yuan.”

“Haha, this was casually made by my Dali.” Hong Weiguo laughed heartily. “Anyway, I don't count on him making anything impressive.”

“Hehe, so it turns out that Young Master Dali made it. That's interesting.” Gong Zhiwen wished to return the jade pipe to Hong Weiguo but was refused. “Er, you can smoke a pipe first then give me a price. You won't complain that I'm dirty, right?”

“No, no. If your, Hong Weiguo's, tobacco pipe, was placed on the market, I figure that people would be competing to s.n.a.t.c.h it up regardless of the price.” Gong Zhiwen did not despise it and lit it at once. After he sucked in a breath, he was momentarily stunned!

He was first stunned, then turned astonished. Then, his hands started trembling before his whole body jumped in surprise. “This… This is! Heavens, this jade, where did your family's Young Master Dali get it from?!”
