In the courtroom, Jiang Yuanwei openly admitted to what he had done. There was no way to deny it; all the surveillance footage and videos were undeniable evidence. The sight of his father Jiang Shiliang and his mother watching their son break down was useless. Meanwhile, the compensation list provided by Ai Hongcheng was a staggering one meter long, detailing the collection value of all the smashed artifacts, along with their original costs and current market prices. After expert appraisal, it was confirmed that everything on the list was genuine, and the total compensation amount shockingly came to 30.2 billion!
This could be called the largest private compensation case in Shenhua today!
Jiang Shiliang stated that he would sell the company to raise the funds for compensation, but Ai Hongcheng's representative didn't believe the Jiang family. Given the enormous sum involved, they demanded immediate compensation from the Jiang family!
Hearing this, Jiang Shiliang realized that there was no way to resolve this amicably. He could only promise to find a way to gather all the funds within three days!
That afternoon, news of the Jiang family's predicament spread throughout the business circles of Shenhua. The other five major families in the capital were aware of the situation as well, yet none dared to intervene. It wasn't that they didn't want to; they simply didn't have the guts!
The Jiang family had offended the head of the Northern Chamber of Commerce, and anyone who took over the Jiang family would essentially be going against Ai Hongcheng. The five families also suffered considerable business losses due to the Jiang family's troubles!
"Jiancheng, find out what's going on with the Jiang family. What projects do they have, and what are their profits and financial standings?" After seeing the news, Shang Yunyan contacted his secretary, ready to take action!
"Got it, Young Master!" Shang Yunyan's secretary, Shang Jiancheng, was a futuristic robot. With remarkable capabilities, he could connect his brain's chips directly to the current computer network and gather the necessary information!
Within ten minutes of receiving Shang Yunyan's order, Shang Jiancheng sent over the complete information on the Jiang family!
"So fast!" Shang Yunyan gasped at the newly received documents in the conference room at home!
"Ding! Host, your four secretaries are top-tier AI from the future. They can connect their interfaces to today's computer networks and quickly gather and organize the information!"
"Impressive! So they're robots, not ordinary people, right?"
"Yes, these top-tier robots have independent thinking, flesh and blood, and their own unique emotions, making them individual life forms created by future technology. So, would you say they count as humans?"
"Hmm… I guess so. But what do you mean by 'interface'? Is that like a charging port or something?"
"From a current tech perspective, yes. But in reality, it's not exactly that! Don't overthink it. Just focus on your job, make money, and level up. You haven't promoted in ages! The system keys are limited. What are you waiting for? Right now, you can only use the tech key, wish, and lottery functions. Are you satisfied with that?"
"I get it! Don't rush me; I need to move steadily. Otherwise, someone will definitely investigate me!"
The system understood that Shang Yunyan's concerns were not unfounded, so it didn't press him further!
After a few moments of silence, Shang Yunyan opened the Jiang family's data!
The Jiang family's situation was now precarious. They had previously engaged in coal mining, trade, and investment development. But after the recent incident, all their suppliers, banks, and partners had abandoned them. Now, over half of their projects were on hold, leading to massive losses. The remaining projects were also gradually being suspended. To outsiders, the Jiang family seemed destined to collapse and vanish from the world!
But Shang Yunyan knew this was the perfect time to seize a great opportunity. A structured company like the Jiang family was exactly what he needed. Even though he didn't have much money, the Jiang family's situation was dire, and he knew no one would come to their aid. He wasn't in a hurry, as Jiancheng informed him that Ai Hongcheng had given the Jiang family three days to gather the funds. The last hour of the final day would be the best time for Shang Yunyan to step in. Of course, he needed to ensure that no one else like him appeared during that period; otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain!
"Jiancheng, the Jiang family also has an investment company. I checked some of their investment projects, and they look decent. But the companies they've invested in can't just pull out of the Jiang family, so I plan to acquire the Jiang family's investment company in a few days and have you handle it. You can gradually withdraw from the joint venture with Xue'er and Feite."
"Understood, Young Master!"
"By the way, how's the situation with Xie He and Feite?"
