Chapter 469: A Cut on the Aorta
"What happened?" Tang Zhongying asked with a frown.
"This afternoon, many customers reported our gold shop, from different gold shops, saying that our gold had changed color!" The person on the other end of the phone said, "We responded in the usual way, comforted the customers, and promised to help the customers maintain it!"
"But this time the customers are different. They came prepared. They brought the inspection report and demanded compensation from our gold shop!"
"The worst thing is that they have reporters behind them. Compensation is a small matter, but it will be troublesome if this matter is exposed."
"What's even worse is that the Market Supervision Administration, the precious metals management department and the quality inspection department all came to our door."
"We've been busy all afternoon."
"We communicated with our customers, reporters, and relevant departments, and tried hard to suppress this matter..."
"Stop talking nonsense. What's the result?" Tang Zhongying asked.
There was silence on the other end. After a moment, the man said in frustration, "Boss Tang, we can no longer cover up this matter. Not only will we face a huge fine, but we will also have to close our gold shop tomorrow. The news department will also report this to the whole city."
"Such a big thing, why didn't you report it to the higher-ups earlier?"
Tang Zhongying's body trembled and he asked angrily.
"Hey, didn't you just come out from inside?" said the subordinate.
"You guys..."
Tang Zhongying felt dizzy.
At present, Yunmeng Golden Tower is his and the Lu family’s greatest reliance.
Moreover, it is the only thing that the Lu family can rely on.
The trouble with this gold shop was like a knife cutting into their aorta.
Lu Xianhe asked, "Brother Tang, what's wrong? Why do you look so bad?"
Tang Zhongying asked: "Could it be that you didn't receive the news either?"
"what news?"
"Something happened at the gold shop!"
"Ah? Yunmeng Golden Tower?" Lu Xianhe was shocked.
"What else, how many gold shops do you have?" Tang Zhongying asked.
At this point, the two of them lost interest in attending the cocktail party and left the scene in a hurry.
"Mr. Jiang, what happened to them? Why did they leave suddenly?" Lei Long asked.
"They went to put out the fire!" Jiang Ning smiled slightly.
"Fire? Where is the fire?" Lei Long asked, "Is it their home?"
Jiang Ning did not answer Lei Long's question. Instead, he had a meaningful smile on his face: "The fire is so big, they can't put it out. Hopefully, you'll be fine!"
The next day, the news of Yunmeng Golden Tower spread throughout Haicheng and even Jiangnan Province.
Various media channels, big and small, rushed to report on it.
The gold ornaments sold by Yunmeng Jinlou are fake. They use various fake gold, black gold, and gold-plated silver to make fake goods in order to defraud customers of their money.
Once discovered, we will help customers clean the stains on the grounds that the metal has oxidized and needs to be re-maintained.
Today, Yunmeng Jinlou not only faces a huge fine, but Yunmeng Jinlou is also the most famous gold shop in Haicheng. Almost half of the people who buy gold and silver jewelry will choose Yunmeng Jinlou.
This piece of news caused a huge uproar. All customers who had bought gold jewelry in the gold shop went to have their gold jewelry tested by testing agencies, and then took the test reports to Yunmeng Jinlou to claim compensation.
Tang family.
"This kid is finished! We are going bankrupt!"
Lu Xianhe howled in a crying voice.
"Old Lu, can you calm down?" Tang Zhongying shouted.
"Calm down? How do you want me to be calm?" Lu Xianhe said, "It seems that your Tang family is rich and powerful, and can afford the compensation. What can I use to compensate? Should I use my life to compensate?"
Tang Zhongying was also very depressed.
His Pingjiang project is still a mess that is difficult to clean up, and such a big thing has happened here.
He is also extremely depressed now.
Tang Yushan stood aside with her head down and said nothing.
"How did it become like this?" Tang Zhongying asked Tang Yushan, "Have you found out what happened?"
"No!" Tang Yushan shook her head.
"You!" Tang Zhongying pointed at Tang Yushan and said, "I was in the detention center for three to five days, and the Tang family was handed over to you. Look, you caused such a big incident. How can I rest assured that you will be my successor?"
Tang Yushan lowered her head and still dared not say a word.
A hint of coldness flashed across Tang Zhongying's eyes: "Needless to say, this matter must have been done by Jiang Ning."
"Ah?" Lu Xianhe asked, "Jiang Ning has such great ability?"
"This has nothing to do with ability. Jiang Ning must have accidentally discovered that our gold shop was counterfeiting, so he took advantage of this to mess with us!" Tang Zhongying said.
Tang Yushan said: "If it really doesn't work, I'll go and apologize to Jiang Ning. I did scold him pretty harshly yesterday!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhongying was so angry that he almost jumped up.
"Are you mentally retarded?" Tang Zhongying said, "Let's not talk about how much weight an apology carries. Just talking about this matter, it has been going on for more than one or two days. The incident broke out today, which means Jiang Ning had planned it for a while. What does it have to do with whether you scolded him yesterday or not? Even if you didn't scold him, what happened today would still have happened."
"It's no use apologizing, he's determined to kill us!" Lu Xianhe said with a frustrated look on his face, "I really regret offending such a plague god now."
"What's the point of saying this now?" Tang Zhongying said.
If we talk about regrets, he regrets more than anyone else.
Because of going against Jiang Ning, the family business suffered a severe blow, his son was put in jail, and now he has to face a huge amount of compensation.
The once prosperous Tang Group is now in tatters.
If I hadn't gone against Jiang Ning, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
However, there is no medicine for regret. As the richest man, Tang Zhongying's psychological quality is indeed very strong.
"Old Lu, don't worry. Jiang Ning is not a god. His kung fu is just so-so!" Tang Zhongying said, "I have a way to resolve it right now."
"any solution?"
"Sacrifice the chariot to save the king, cut off the arm to survive!" Tang Zhongying said: "One of you and me must sacrifice to save the other."
"What do you mean?" Lu Xianhe asked.
"The news of the gold shop's fraud has already spread, and it cannot be reversed. We will face huge compensation. If we pay the compensation, it will be a serious injury to me, and it will be fatal to your Lu family." Tang Zhongying said, "We can only try to be ruthless now!"
"How?"
"In this way, you should quickly transfer the family funds through commercial operations, and as the legal representative of the gold shop company, you should take all the blame and announce that you will make full compensation according to the instructions of the superiors." Tang Zhongying said: "After the compensation comes, your Lu family will definitely not be able to pay it back, so just declare bankruptcy immediately!"
"Then, no matter how much compensation you blocked for our Tang family, I will let you earn back that money, or even more, in future business cooperation.
Besides, you can still get the money you transferred back for use.”
By doing so, the Tang Group will not suffer any reputational or financial losses.
After the Lu family declared bankruptcy, they were like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and no one could do anything to them.
But he will no longer be able to survive in the Haicheng business community.
However, with Tang Zhongying's support, he won't be too far behind.
"What do you think of this method?" Tang Zhongying asked.
