Chapter 225: Sitting on Wax
The scandals of nearly twenty companies were lined up in the newspapers, which was as embarrassing as a mischievous "bad student" in a class being called out and made to stand at the back as punishment.
These scandals all have details, just like a story, with time, place, people and events. Many Hong Kong citizens believed them instinctively after reading them.
Of course, these are true.
The end of the page also emphasized that the revelations from the above-listed companies are all true and the contributors will provide evidence to the ICAC and the Hong Kong police.
It would be fine if it was just a general smear and frame-up, but the powerful assurance of rescue did make many people panic.
After all, they or the company did do these ugly things. They may not admit it verbally, but they cannot deceive themselves in their hearts.
Now, they may also face official investigations. Isn't this just like waiting in line for food to be delivered?
Hong Kong citizens really love the melon-eating activities during this period, which are exciting and full of climaxes.
Anyone who is not a fool knows who is the big shot behind this.
But most people don't hate Fang Hexuan's behavior at all.
First, they were forced to fight back, and they did it politely.
Second, the scandals he revealed were highly authentic and he was not afraid of official scrutiny.
This kind of person is quick to repay and revenge, has a distinct personality, and has a chivalrous temperament.
In martial arts novels, the heroes usually have no regard for the law and are willful and paranoid.
But although Fang Hexuan's attack was fierce, he always counterattacked passively.
If you don't provoke him, how can he deal with you?
This simple value reflects the true thoughts of many ordinary Hong Kong people.
Although Fang Hexuan is rich, his money is earned honestly and he does not do evil things. Instead, he often donates money to charity.
The most important thing is that his personal image gives him full marks.
In addition to being tall, handsome and tasteful, one of the reasons why many people like him is that he has almost no bad conduct.
After all, the only person who has been revealed to have a girlfriend-to-be from Japan.
Although some nationalists would think that he is pro-Japanese, Fang Hexuan has never officially acknowledged that the Japanese girl is his girlfriend, which adds some points to his reputation.
Most people think that he is venting the anger of the Chinese by playing with Japanese women.
This may sound a bit ridiculous, but it is indeed the mentality of many people.
At the very least, Mr. Fang did not harm Hong Kong women at will, which is a rare quality for a wealthy and young tycoon.
In addition, Fang Hexuan's industry rarely involves the people's livelihood in Hong Kong, so he does not need to be called a vampire.
Another point that Hong Kong people value is that Fang Hexuan is very filial and family-oriented.
In the eyes of most people, his mother Lu Qiaoling's remarriage would definitely hurt the reputation of Mr. Fang, the richest man.
But Fang Hexuan has publicly said many times that he doesn't care at all, and the most important thing is that his mother finds happiness in life.
Moreover, many newspapers have also reported that Fang Hexuan bought a luxury house for his mother, helped his stepfather start a business, and gave his half-brother tens of millions of red envelopes.
These things certainly make many people envious, but at the same time they also deepen the public's very positive impression of the other party's richest man.
In Chinese society, respecting the elderly and loving the young is always a good virtue.
If one can do this, even if this person has a lot of faults, he will still be considered desirable in the eyes of many people.
Fang Hexuan was unhappy and overturned the table, almost wiping out all his friendly competitors in the comics industry. Some businessmen thought this was too overbearing and unethical.
But ordinary citizens really like to see it.
The twenty comic companies that previously thought they were in the same boat and could work together to make Fang Hexuan retreat are now extremely panicked.
Seeing that their own or their company's names were also in the newspaper, everyone gathered together to think of a solution. Some said they would immediately go to Fang, the richest man, to settle the matter and withdraw from the condemnation alliance.
Some still insisted on hiring a lawyer to sue Fang Hexuan for defamation and slander.
However, some people discovered a problem from the newspaper - why there was no revelation about Yulang International.
After this reminder, everyone immediately read from beginning to end and indeed did not see the names of Wong Yuk-long and his company.
Of course, Wong Yuk-long did not come at this time, as he had already realized the seriousness of the problem.
He never expected that Fang Hexuan would attack again with such decisiveness and ruthlessness.
Almost all comic companies were wiped out.
The most infuriating thing is that I was the only one not mentioned in the explosive news.
Wong Yuk-lang was very smart. He realized that Fang Hexuan was definitely putting himself on the spot on purpose.
Just imagine how other people will view him now.
Those who are more polite would say a few sarcastic remarks saying that he was lucky that Fang Hexuan didn't find out any negative information about him.
Those with a more treacherous mind would probably suspect that the entire conflict was jointly planned by him and Fang Hexuan from beginning to end, with the aim of monopolizing the comics share in Hong Kong.
He really got it right.
Some people have already started to suspect that Wong Yuk-long did not attend the talks.
When faced with failure or problems, most people will first blame others.
What's more, it was the man named Huang who instigated everyone from the very beginning.
The more they thought about it, the more frightened and angry they became. It was possible that they had been sold out.
Once this absurd conclusion came out, many people could no longer sit still. They hoped to quickly go together and ask Mr. Fang to show leniency.
After all, the evidence against them has not yet been handed over to the police and the ICAC.
Wong Yuk-long was also feeling a bit frustrated at this time. He just felt extremely aggrieved. It was really an absurd feeling that one was sitting at home and disaster came from the sky.
At the same time, he also felt a wave of fear. This Fang guy only played such a simple trick to defeat the anti-Fang alliance that he had worked so hard to build.
God knows if he has other means to deal with me later.
But the mistake had been made, and Wong Yuk-long was a man who refused to admit his mistake. He could not convince himself to go to Fang Hexuan to admit his mistake and beg for forgiveness.
Moreover, I have offended him so badly, would it be of any use even if I apologize?
If he were Fang Hexuan, would he choose to forgive his enemy?
After thinking about this, Wong Yuk-long felt that he had no way out.
The great devil Fang was in a very good mood at this moment, as he was drinking tea with the boat charter king.
It's a rare occasion for the charter king to come to the Global Building, so he must entertain him personally.
"Ah Xuan, your trick is indeed brilliant, but it does damage your reputation."
"Haha, Uncle Bao, everyone knows that I'm a young man, how can I not be angry?"
"Haha, you sly fellow! But do you really want to catch them all in one fell swoop?"
"Uncle Bao, if Hong Kong's comics industry doesn't undergo a major change, it will have no future in the competition with Japan."
“I don’t really understand these cultural industries, but are comics really that attractive to you?”
"Well, it's good for both the country and ourselves, so why not do it!"
"Haha, I can't see through you any more!"
