Chapter 513: Cleaning Up Harmony Record

Time flies.

Soon it has been 76 years.

During this time, Yang Qing has been handling Harmony Record's affairs.

Many subsidiaries began to have their control strengthened by Yang Qing through Black Tortoise Investment Bank, by means of expanding shares.

Then step by step, they became independent from Harmony Record and began to bear their own profits and losses.

Many people in Gangdao did not expect that Yang Qing did not dump all of Harmony Record's junk companies to reduce its burden.

Instead, he increased investment one by one, strengthening control.

For the management in each subsidiary that could not resolve the company's crisis and achieve profitability, Yang Qing showed no mercy, firing those who should be fired and laying off those who should be laid off.

Then, through the new managers selected by Azure Cloud Business Consulting Company, he operated each subsidiary.

A large number of disobedient Yinglian people were driven out of Harmony Record by Yang Qing.

This group of unemployed Yinglian people organized themselves, began to surround the Hong Fu, and pressured Mai Lihao.

Mai Lihao couldn't care less; Harmony Record's loans have not been repaid at all to this day.

He merely extended the loan per the original contract and paid the interest due at signing.

Even the properties pledged to many banks were taken back by Yang Qing.

There was no way; if the pledged properties were not handed over, Yang Qing would let them go bankrupt.

There is no one so shameless.

A bunch of trash, what are they good for?

Now Harmony Record is a time bomb in Gangdao.

Quality assets have been siphoned off by Yang Qing step by step, and it's almost become an empty shell.

Now the Hong Fu and the major banks fear most that Yang Qing will abandon his post.

At this point, you lot want to kidnap the Hong Fu to trip up Yang Qing?

Isn't this making things difficult for Mai Lihao?

So this group's protest has no effect at all.

Mai Lihao merely had Yang Qing come over; he didn't dare raise his voice, speaking softly and gently in discussion with Yang Qing.

"Yang Qing, look, these people are the meritorious officials who have shared life and death with Harmony Record."

"Just driving them out like this— isn't it inhumane?"

Yang Qing is not at all polite.

"Your Excellency Governor, Harmony Record has become like this precisely because of this group."

Saying this, he produced a large amount of evidence.

"Look, look— these aren't employees; they're practically termites and bandits."

"Not counting the past, since I took over Harmony Record, how long has it been? They've already carved millions off of Harmony Record."

"Not prosecuting them is already giving face to the Hong Fu."

"Governor, if we keep them, Harmony Record will go bankrupt; if we want Harmony Record, this bunch of termites must leave."

"There is no other way."

Mai Lihao picked up the evidence Yang Qing threw over, and veins bulged on his face.

"You all really think that now that Chinese are in charge, you can loot to your heart's content, right?"

Yang Qing is easy to get along with.

"You're after money, yet you don't even do it secretly— you've been caught red-handed."

"How dare you come pressure him?"

"Faced with such ample justification, Mai Lihao really has no face to let Yang Qing continue to take in this trash."

After Yang Qing left, Mai Lihao summoned several representatives and then gave them a beating.

"He made him lose face; not beating them would not relieve his anger."

"You've embezzled so much of others' money— how dare you come protest?"

"Do you think the Hong Fu is your family's business?"

"Damn it, just seeing you makes me angry."

"Shameless trash."

"The evidence was slapped in their faces, crackling painfully."

"Only then did they realize that the things they thought they were doing covertly had been uncovered completely clearly."

"But they still refused to accept it."

"Governor, Harmony Record is ours; how dare that yellow-skinned monkey Yang Qing seize the Harmony Record we painstakingly built?"

"That's our Harmony Record; we take our own things— what right does he have to block us and even drive us out?"

"Governor, such disobedient dogs— if not beaten to death, what's the point of keeping them?"

"They still remain in the world of those above people."

"Regarding Yang Qing taking over Harmony Record, they are fundamentally dissatisfied."

"The He Family, the Zhou Family, and other lackeys— they've dealt with it, but it's not just one."

"And what are they afraid of?"

"How can a pack of Chinese dogs be allowed to ride on their heads?"

Mai Lihao raised his hand and slapped.

"Is your head full of shit?"

"Do you think Gangdao is still as it used to be?"

Yingjiang's gone to lick rabbits, you damn bunch of dog things, still can't see the situation.

If we dare to deal with the Yang Family, you believe it or not, tomorrow Gangdao will be in chaos.

Within a month, we'll have to get out of Gangdao.

What's the Luxurious Territory like now, are you blind?

Dog things.

Just keep causing trouble for me.

Get out right now, if you dare to run around again, I'll arrest you all and take you to the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Perfect, I need to kill someone to establish authority.

Mai Lihao beat and kicked these people out.

Now the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the police are at odds; the police, for self-preservation, are having more and more conflicts with the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

At this critical juncture, you're still causing trouble for me.

They're hardly worth dying.

After walking out of the Governor's Office, Yang Qing's mouth curled into a smile.

A bunch of trash actually thought they could threaten him.

Not handing them over to the police is also because there are too many such people in Harmony Record.

Now he's very impressive, but he can't do whatever he wants.

If we really sent that many Yinglian people to prison, would the Hong Fu even agree first?

Or would they cover for them?

So what if they admit it?

The image of him defecating on the heads of Yinglian people will also be established.

He will then become the target of everyone's anger.

This is extremely detrimental to future development.

It would be better to just expel them, let them live or die on their own, and still give the Yinglian people some face.

Otherwise, we would become the target of Hong Fu's opposition.

It would leave them wanting to lash out but with nowhere to do so.

Why did the Ho family go to develop in the Luxurious Territory? It's not because they weren't screwed over by these Yinglian people.

Only after Yingjiang started licking rabbits did the Ho family's situation improve a bit.

The next day, the reports of Harmony Record's employee abuse came to an abrupt halt.

Hong Fu also came forward to support Harmony Record.

Gangdao is a free port; Gangdao's enterprises, for the sake of enterprise development, have the right to lay off redundant staff with compensation.

As for how much compensation, both sides tacitly agreed not to mention it.

What are you thinking? Isn't your corrupt money the compensation?

If not, let's go see the Court.

That arrogant bunch of former Harmony Record employees, Yinglian people, each one so meek they didn't dare step out the door.

This can be considered tacit acceptance of Yang Qing's handling.

This result caused an uproar among the Gangdao populace.

This group of Yinglian people actually surrendered.

Too fantastical. Yang Qing's image in Gangdao instantly grew much taller.

The original four great families, in front of Yang Qing, seem rather inadequate.

Look at Yang Qing, then look at yourselves.

Each one being tormented by the Yinglian people to the point of ecstasy.

Moreover, many family members died for no apparent reason.

Now they don't even dare to fart.

People fear comparison; once compared, the old four great families look ridiculous and laughable.

They don't even think about what the current international environment is, or what it used to be.

Moreover, how can a bunch of people who do dirty work be compared to someone as clean as Yang Qing?
