Chapter 2218: Do You Think It's Over?

"If you really want to talk about this, it's a long story!" Zhou Andong took a deep drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said: "It has to start with Sony wanting to acquire Yuzhou Technology."

"Sony's real goal was actually the DVD standard. Regarding this matter, I expect you might have heard some rumors, for example, that I asked for two billion US dollars."

"That was all true. As a result, many people thought I was crazy. Because of this, two division chiefs sent by the Ministry of Commerce to accompany the Japanese pointed at my nose and cursed."

"Saying that I, Zhou Andong, seriously damaged the friendly relations between China and Japan and affected the overall situation of reform and opening up. That I was just a pure, profit-seeking capitalist sucking the blood of the common people."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong raised his eyes and scanned the circle. He found that not only the cousins, but even the uncles, aunts, and aunts' husbands were listening seriously.

"How about it? Do you also feel that my asking for two billion US dollars was too unrealistic?"

"Indeed, two billion US dollars. I also feel that you, brother-in-law, were a bit like a lion opening its mouth."

The one speaking was Mo Dong, the son of Qiuqiu's youngest aunt. He was fair-skinned, and his speech was soft and shy.

He was about the same age as Jian Mingfan and was also taking the college entrance examination this year. He wore myopia glasses on his nose, and judging by the thickness of the lenses, his myopia was very serious.

Not only that, but his hair was also slightly too long, in the extremely popular "Aaron Kwok" style, which made him look more mature compared to Jian Mingfan.

At this time, youngest uncle-in-law Mo Shuncheng patted his son on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your brother-in-law never intended to sell Yuzhou Technology to Sony."

Everyone looked at Zhou Andong, their eyes filled with inquiry.

A meaningful smile appeared on Zhou Andong's face. Afterward, he gently flicked the ash from the cigarette in his hand and said slowly.

"The Japanese are very cunning. They talked to me under the banner of investment and cooperation. In reality, they were just eyeing the timing of our country being in the midst of reform and opening up, with various regions urgently hoping to attract foreign investment and promote economic development."

"They wanted to take the opportunity to use those short-sighted, profit-driven individual leaders to put pressure on me, so I would obediently hand over Yuzhou Technology."

"In fact, if it were anyone else, the Japanese's plan would have succeeded. Because there really was such a leader in the Ministry of Commerce whose butt was crooked."

"Otherwise, how could those two little division chiefs from the Ministry of Commerce have been as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and even furious, when they heard me say I wanted two billion US dollars?"

"If they didn't have a leader behind them giving instructions, how would they dare to point at my nose and curse so desperately, and even label me?"

After hearing these words from Zhou Andong, Gu Mingxiang and his siblings exchanged glances. Although there was no verbal communication, they knew exactly whose butt was crooked in the Ministry of Commerce.

It was just that at this very moment, the aunts and sisters-in-law of the Jian family were all here. Some words, whether unpleasant or not, couldn't be said in front of them. Not to mention, the two sides were also in-laws.

And Zhang Yuemei, Zhao Ping, and Jian Yufang, upon hearing that someone in the Ministry of Commerce had a crooked butt, all immediately knew who it was.

Zhao Ping sneered in her heart. Regardless of what kind of dissatisfaction you, Chen Quan, have toward Dongzi, these ultimately belong to internal contradictions within the family.

If there are really any demands or thoughts, you can go to the old man's place, and everyone can sit down peacefully and handle it properly through consultation.

However, you, Chen Quan, were so traitorous. In order to suppress Dongzi, you didn't hesitate to sell out the interests of your own people, attempting to hand over Yuzhou Technology to the Japanese. This is absolutely unforgivable and unpardonable.

Although she didn't understand what kind of vital significance the DVD standard had, just seeing Sony so painstakingly trying to get their hands on it was enough to prove the huge value contained within.

And Chen Quan's insane behavior was not just a simple act of hitting and retaliating against Zhou Andong personally; his actions were already equivalent to treason.

The nature of this incident was so vile that it could not be taken lightly. She didn't know if Dongzi had reported this matter to the old man, so she had to find an opportunity to ask later.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ping raised her head, and her gaze fell straight on Gu Minglan. She had a hard time getting along with the other sisters-in-law, older sisters-in-law, and younger sisters-in-law of the Jian family.

Only the relationship with Gu Minglan had always been good. If it weren't for the family banquet at the old man's place on the second day of the Lunar New Year, where Zhang Yuemei and Jian Yufang suddenly turned toward Zhou Andong, she probably wouldn't have come over with them today.

At this very moment, Gu Minglan's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, so cold that people didn't dare to look directly at her. She had always been paying attention to the negotiations between Zhou Andong and Sony.

But what she saw were only the surface. As for the filth hidden behind, if Zhou Andong didn't say it, she naturally wouldn't know.

Now, hearing Zhou Andong say that someone in the Ministry of Commerce had a crooked butt, the name Chen Quan instantly appeared in her mind, without even a second's delay.

At this moment, she was very angry. No one cared whether your butt was crooked or not, Chen Quan. Even if you sold all the domestic enterprises, whatever state-owned, central-owned, or private enterprises, to the Japanese, it would have nothing to do with me.

However, the Yugong Group is my family's industry, the family foundation that my daughter and son-in-law worked hard to save, and my grandson will have to inherit it in the future.

But you actually dared to reach out to the Yugong Group, attempting to hand over Yuzhou Technology to the Japanese. That means you deserve to die.

Chen Quan, regarding this matter, if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, then don't blame me, Gu Minglan, for not caring about family affection and breaking off relations with you.

Gu Minglan thought to herself, and the expression on her face became colder and colder. In the past, no matter what complaints and dissatisfaction she had toward Jian Yulan and Chen Quan, she would choose to turn a blind eye because of the two words "family affection" and not fuss too much.

But this time it was different. Chen Quan had already touched her bottom line, and she couldn't tolerate it no matter what. She had already planned to break off relations with Jian Yulan and Chen Quan.

As for family affection, in her eyes at this moment, it was a joke. Chen Quan didn't care, so what else did she care about? Not to mention, in this world, who could be closer than her own daughter, son-in-law, and grandson?

And Zhang Yuemei and Jian Yufang didn't want to believe that it was Chen Quan whose butt was crooked, but they were allies before and knew Chen Quan very well.

This brother-in-law of theirs, no matter what he did, as long as he could achieve his goal, he wouldn't care what means he used. So, Zhang Yuemei and Jian Yufang couldn't find a reason to deny it even if they racked their brains.

At this moment, both of them were already filled with deep resentment and dissatisfaction toward Chen Quan. Dongzi is the Jian family's son-in-law, and the Yugong Group can be a powerful help to our entire Jian family.

But you, Chen Quan, want to destroy the Yugong Group. Is your brain flooded or were you kicked by a donkey? Is this something a normal person can do?

Everyone's reactions were all in Zhou Andong's eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked into an imperceptible smile.

Chen Quan, my good eldest brother-in-law, do you think it's over? ===== CHAPTER 2219 =====
