Chapter 184 The Li Family Suffers Losses Again and Again

Domineering!

Really impressive!

Full of confidence!

Hai Mimi and Huang Jieyi's eyes lit up.

This man's domineering and bold demeanor is so incredibly handsome!
They actually dared to openly declare war on the richest family in Hong Kong, the most powerful force on the island!

This courage captivated them.

The Li family mansion.

Li Chao was also watching TV at the same time.

When Li Chao saw Chen Hong declare war on him, he was unusually angry.

"What kind of class do you think you are, daring to challenge me to a war?"

But thinking about what was exposed on TV, Li Chao felt a headache coming on.

"I never expected that Chen Hong would be so clean-cut. With so many companies and so many things, he doesn't have any dirt on him."

How could anyone in this world not be greedy for money?
How could anyone actually do charity?

How could anyone be so clean-handed?

They must have been prepared beforehand, which is why they were so flawless.

"No, this news will definitely damage the reputation of my Li family, and it will affect our stocks and business."

"I will definitely eliminate Chen Hong, this great threat, once and for all, so that I can rest easy."

Li Chao picked up the phone and made calls one by one, demonstrating his extensive network of contacts.

He wanted to use the power of the British government to directly kill Chen Hong.

We must never let him grow up.

Otherwise, the Li family's position would truly be shaken.

He refused to believe that a direct investigation of all of Chen Hong's companies would uncover some dirty secrets.

Which company has a completely clean record?

It doesn't exist, okay?

If you investigate diligently, you will definitely find out.

Even if Chen Hong is highly skilled, he might not be able to find out.

They can also frame others and fabricate evidence.

Anyway, Great Britain will be gone soon.

They don't care about justice or fairness at all.

There's nothing they wouldn't dare to do if it meant making money.

At worst, we can dismember Chen Hong, cut off a large piece of cake, and feed the gluttonous mouths of the foreigners.

How could Chen Hong be so ungrateful?
There is a way to die!

The major newspapers that had previously slandered Chen Hong were now in a panic.

Because Chen Hong really sued them.

They even used their connections in the courts to target them, uncovering a lot of dirt on them.

So one by one they changed their tune and began to speak up for Chen Hong and try to please him.

"The truth comes out! Chen Hong is innocent; the whole thing is a smear campaign and revenge by the Li family" - Wenhui Daily.

"The outrageous rumors about Galaxy Group are all fake; the Li family resorted to underhanded tactics after failing in their business battle" - Sing Tao Daily.

"None of the allegations are true; this newspaper sincerely apologizes to Chen Hong" - Sing Tao Daily.

"On the Entanglements of Interests Behind the Scandal of Chen Hong's Scandal - A Detailed Account of the Feuds and Relationships Between Chen Hong and the Li Family" - Ta Kung Pao.

"A battle between a famous philanthropist and the richest family: the richest man suffers a complete moral defeat, leaving everyone stunned" - Wenhui Daily.

"Detailed Records and Billing Details of the Group's Subsidiaries' Response to Questions" - Galaxy Daily

"The unsavory secrets of Changjiang Real Estate's forced demolitions and high-priced sales: the blood and tears of ordinary people behind the glamorous facade" - Galaxy Daily.

Clearly, Chen Hong has merged the dozens of newspapers he acquired into the Galaxy Daily, giving him his own media outlet and enabling him to speak for himself.

They started exposing all sorts of dirty secrets about Li Chao, allowing the people of Hong Kong to see his true colors from a different perspective.

Instead of being constantly controlled by their own thoughts, foolishly unable to distinguish who the enemy is and who the culprit is.

Although the major newspapers have changed their tune, Chen Hong will not let them off the hook.

Most media outlets are like weather vanes, swaying whichever way the wind blows.

Changing the wind direction is as simple as eating or drinking.

Chen Hong directly acquired and controlled those newspapers that didn't have a strong background.

However, newspapers with strong backing, such as Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, cannot be acquired.

Chen Hong was the direct controller; by controlling the management, he controlled these newspapers.

Chen Hong also directly acquired TVB and ATV, two major television media outlets, and owned his own video news platform.

Chen Hong guessed that Li Chao, affected by this public opinion storm, would definitely try to stir up trouble and reduce the impact of public opinion on him.

as predicted.

Because the facts and evidence were overwhelming and there was no way to deny them, Li Chao simply fabricated an even more sensational news story to suppress the heat and extricate himself from the controversy.

He arranged a scandalous affair between a wealthy friend and a popular female celebrity.

The celebrity was taken to the hospital.

This explosive news fulfills all the elements of a trending topic: celebrity, innocent girl, tycoon, extravagant lifestyle, and hospitalization.

It's safe to say that this news will definitely overshadow the news about Chen Hong and Li Chao.

After all, humanity's love for gossip has surpassed anything from business battles to human lives.

No matter how many people die or how much suffering occurs, nothing is more captivating than a piece of entertainment gossip.

Unfortunately, this news article could not be published.

Chen Hong practically controlled all the media outlets on Hong Kong Island.

Li Chao has been blacklisted.

All news related to him was blocked by Chen Hong and was not allowed to be broadcast.

Treat others in their own way.

Chen Hong treated Li Chao the same way he treated Chen Hong.

This made Li Chao furious.

"Bastard!"

Li Chao smashed a beautiful ceramic jar.

He'd never suffered such humiliation in his entire life. He was always the one silencing others, never the other way around.
It's simply the reverse of Tiangang.

However, he still has confidence.

Once the British authorities take action, they'll crush Chen Hong with a single blow and see how long this monkey can keep jumping around.

But to his surprise, misfortune never comes singly.

A spontaneous boycott of the Li family's businesses broke out on Hong Kong Island.

“Neighbors, Ah Hong has been kind to us. Now that he has been slandered and bullied by the Li family, it is time for us to stand up.”

"The Li family is so shameless, what should we do?"

"We should resolutely boycott Baijia Supermarket and Changjiang Real Estate."

“If we’re going to buy, we should buy from Galaxy Real Estate. Their houses are great, the prices are cheaper, and the service is even better.”

It's not even a million times better than Yangtze River Real Estate, which profits from human suffering.

"That's right, that makes sense!"

"I need to tell all my relatives and friends immediately not to buy Yangtze River Real Estate, but to buy Galaxy Real Estate instead."

"And also, we should boycott Baijia Supermarket and Quchenshi, and not buy any products from Li's family."

“We’ll make the Li family lose everything. Let’s see how they die when they can’t sell their goods. How dare they slander my Ah Hong!”

"Yes, yes! Boycott Baijia Supermarket, boycott Watsons!"

A massive movement was born.

Almost the entire Hong Kong Island is boycotting the Li family's businesses.

This made everyone see Chen Hong's terrifying popular support and appeal.

Even before Chen Hong gave a word, they spontaneously organized a movement to boycott the Li family.

Just to vent Chen Hong's anger.

What a terrifying level of popular support this is!

These foundations were built up by Chen Hong through his daily efforts to solve problems and do good deeds for the people.

Chen Hong has given so many people stable, high-paying jobs, saved so many broken families, and done so many good deeds, including providing relief to orphans, caring for the elderly and widowed, and upholding justice...

There are too many to count.

Whenever Chen Hong's businesses expand, it provides a way for people to make a living and improve their lives.

If this reputation isn't high, then who is?

This situation was completely unexpected by Li Chao.

He knew Chen Hong had a lot of influence, but he didn't expect it to be this much!
The moment the news broke, the stocks of all of Li's businesses plummeted.

Chen Hong had already gathered his neighbors and Hung Hing underlings to short the Li family's stocks.

They harvested the leeks from the Li family and made a fortune.

It's always been the Li family that gets to take from others; when did it become the Li family's turn to take from others?

It is simply contrary to Tiangang.

But Chen Hong did just that, and he even helped everyone get rich.

In less than three hours, the Li family's stock market lost more than 100 billion yuan.

Moreover, the assets are rapidly evaporating.

This was heartbreaking for Li Chao.

But Li Chao remained calm. The stock market is just that—the stock market—and doesn't represent real assets or strength.

Ultimately, the stock market is just a virtual bubble, a tool used to fleece ordinary people.

No matter how much the stock market loses, your real assets will not evaporate.

Once the crisis is overcome and the stock market recovers, everything will be back to normal.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is very ugly.

The authorities that Li Chao contacted finally took action.

They went to Chen Hong's various companies like wolves to check accounts, investigate various documents and personnel.

In the end, they found absolutely nothing.

There are no issues with taxes, embezzlement, illegal or irregular operations, or procedural problems.

Chen Hong's company is truly clean.

Li Chao's attempt to steal a chicken backfired.

On the contrary, Chen Hong's involvement in the investigation, which garnered significant media attention, solidified his innocence.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, those who were still questioning it were completely silenced.

At this moment, the people, families, and officials of Hong Kong Island all felt the significance of the name "Chen Hong".

It's damn clean.

"Truly a great philanthropist" is not enough to describe him; he is practically a saint.

At this moment, Chen Hong's reputation soared, even surpassing Li Chao's.

No one dislikes a good person.

Even bad people like good people.

Not to mention ordinary people, even business owners want to cooperate with Chen Hong.

Chen Hong is really reliable.

With its immense power and clean hands, its rise to prominence is now unstoppable.

It's not something the Li family can suppress.

Li Chao has lost another move in the game.

Chen Hong seized the opportunity to begin rapid expansion.

Not only did Galaxy Real Estate expand rapidly, encroaching on the Li family's territory.

With its low prices and superior quality and service, it completely outclassed Yangtze River Real Estate.

Even after forcing Cheung Kong Property to lower its prices, it was to no avail.

Moreover, Chen Hong officially entered the retail industry, competing with Baijia Supermarket and Quchenshi.

After the previous large-scale factory construction, Chen Hong's accumulated expertise in various commodity production finally came to fruition.

Chen Hong doesn't even need to purchase inventory for most of his products; he produces and sells them directly.

To form a self-closed loop of industrial and supply chains.

This kind of strength is extremely terrifying.

Even if some products are not in production for the time being, Chen Hong can still source them from mainland merchants.
