Chapter 428 Internal Strife within a Wealthy Family 2
People always say that so-and-so has a unique perspective, but there aren't that many people with such unique perspectives; they just know some information in advance.
The so-called stock market gurus, those with a strong sense of the big picture, and those who don't try to save the last penny are simply people who know inside information in advance and leave before others.
Others had no choice but to leave first, such as the large-scale evacuation of Li Gua in 2015.
That was a big game. With the stock index plummeting and Li Gua and others retreating, America planned to emulate how they dealt with Goryeo back then: first shorting the market, then investing in it.
The major conglomerates in Korea may look impressive and powerful, but the people in power are still the same as before. In fact, the real major shareholders were replaced by Americans during the financial crisis.
What they didn't expect was that Great Xia has its own national conditions. After shorting the market, if the money wanted to flow out and be converted into American dollars, an order would be issued to delay the redemption. Just wait and see!
As for the idea of controlling domestic companies like the major conglomerates in Korea, as before, with one order, forget about it.
After that, we started to clean up some people and deal with some things.
For example, Ji Lingbo's two older brothers were purged after that.
Returning to the present, the White Dragon King thought for a moment and said, "Liang Youfeng's ten million is actually hush money. If Liang Youkai comes looking for you again after a while, just don't mention this feng shui arrangement!"
"Hmm!" Fatty Lin nodded and said, "Uncle Nan, Liang Youkai seems a bit petty!"
"right!"
The White Dragon King smiled and said, "If I hadn't seen this, Liang Jiabang wouldn't have entrusted his business to him. He wanted someone who was petty and vindictive!"
"Alright, let me tell you something about the Liang family. These things aren't exactly secrets in the industry after the internal strife and lawsuits within the Liang family!"
"Please speak!" Fatty Lin eagerly filled the White Dragon King's cup with wine.
After taking a sip of wine, the White Dragon King said, "Liang Jiabang has two illegitimate sons. One has returned to his family, and the other has gone overseas; no one knows where he is!"
"The illegitimate child mentioned in that will is the one who emigrated overseas!"
He paused, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I suspect that the ghostly voice you heard in the Liang family's old house in Shatin might have been made by the biological mother of Liang Jiabang's first illegitimate child!"
"Uncle Nan, do you mean the mother of the first illegitimate child is gone?" Fatty Lin asked immediately.
"Um!"
The White Dragon King nodded and said, "Liang Jiabang's first illegitimate son was born to him and his secretary!"
He paused again, chuckled, and said, "It's quite interesting. Many of Hong Kong's wealthy families rose to prominence thanks to the influence of their in-laws, like Li Gua, Jin Gu, and Liang Jiabang, the textile tycoon!"
"Those who rose to power by relying on their fathers-in-law eventually squandered everything on their wives' families!" I thought for a moment and said.
"Don't interrupt!"
Fatty Lin glared at me and said, "Uncle Nan, please continue. What happened between Liang Jiabang and this female secretary later?"
"Liang Youkai was the first to discover Liang Jiabang's affair with his secretary. Not long after, his mother found out and brought people to the company, where they beat the secretary up!" the White Dragon King said.
"It's Liang Youkai's message!" Long Nier said.
"I don't know if he was the one who tipped him off, but what's circulating in the circle is that his mother found out not long after Liang Youkai found out!" said the White Dragon King.
"And then?" I asked.
There's no need to doubt it; he was the one who delivered the message, so there's no need to dwell on it.
"With his wife making a scene, Liang Jiabang had no choice but to send his secretary and son away. He did something that I didn't understand at the time, but I do understand now!" said the White Dragon King.
"What did he do?" I asked.
"He entrusted Liang Youkai to take care of the mother and child!" said the White Dragon King.
"Huh?" I thought I misheard.
"Was that intentional?"
After realizing what was happening, I immediately said...
"In hindsight, it was probably intentional!"
The White Dragon King scoffed.
"And then, how was the care?" I asked.
"According to public reports, not long after, Liang Jiabang, the secretary, committed suicide by burning charcoal one night because he was overwhelmed with shame!" said the White Dragon King.
Holy crap!
Lin the Fat and I both swore at the same time.
"Fatty, do you really believe a woman who was someone's mistress and had a son would commit suicide out of shame?"
After swearing, I turned to look at Fatty Lin and asked.
"I don't believe it!" Fatty Lin shook his head and said, "Hong Kong's wealthy have a habit of keeping concubines. Being a concubine to these wealthy men isn't shameful, especially since she even had a son. How could she possibly commit suicide?"
Clearly, Fatty Lin didn't believe it either.
"Mother died, leaving behind a child. Liang Jiabang, the father, was in a difficult position. At this time, Liang Youkai stepped forward again and persuaded his own mother to agree to let this illegitimate child into the family. Because of this, Liang Jiabang's trust in Liang Youkai increased even more!" The White Dragon King continued.
"The father is awesome, and the son is awesome too!"
Hearing this, I was convinced.
"Why do I have a feeling that Liang Youkai is taking the blame for Liang Jiabang?" Fatty Lin pondered for a moment and said.
"Fatty, do you mean that Liang Jiabang wanted to kill his secretary's mistress, but didn't want to do it himself, so he hinted to his second son, Liang Youkai, to do it as a test?" I asked.
"Hmm!" Fatty Lin nodded.
I thought about it, and it really is possible.
The Liang family's feng shui arrangement, which uses inauspicious elements to cultivate good fortune and allows family members to mitigate misfortune, requires a ruthless son to step forward and fight against his siblings. The fiercer the fight, the more stable the Liang family's wealth and prosperity will be.
"Uncle Nan, is that so?" I asked the White Dragon King.
"Whether that's true or not, I don't know. You can judge for yourselves. I'll continue!" The White Dragon King smiled and said, "Not long after that, Liang Youkai did something else!"
"What did you do?"
Seeing that the White Dragon King didn't continue and seemed to be keeping him in suspense, Fatty Lin immediately stepped in to play the straight man.
"He hired a new female secretary for his father, or rather, a personal secretary!" said the White Dragon King.
"And then?" I asked.
"Then, this secretary got together with Liang Jiabang, and later, she also gave birth to a son for Liang Jiabang!" said the White Dragon King.
"Wow, that's amazing! The son is acting as a pimp for his father!"
Hearing this, Fatty Lin began to sigh again.
"Uncle Nan, Liang Jiabang's will says he wants to leave a share of the inheritance to his illegitimate son. That share of the inheritance wouldn't be for this child, would it?" I asked after thinking for a moment.
"That's right, it's for this child!" The White Dragon King nodded.
