Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Hearing Xia Yu's face-breaking words, Old John on the other end of the phone was stunned. Xia Yu's reaction was completely different from his usual behavior and the impression left in Old John's mind.

Previously, Xia Yu always looked like a tiger with a smile on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking behind his smiling expression. The city was very deep, and he was like an old fox.

But now, he is showing his sharp-edgedness, and his style of conduct is diametrically opposite.

This is not going to hide, have the confidence to fight with me?

A thought flashed through old John's mind, and his whole face was gloomy and terrifying.

Since Xia Yu had no room to spare, hit his door, and pointed at his nose, then if he didn't work hard, the Jardine Consortium would sooner or later be defeated by him.

"Okay, you should pray that you can keep being so arrogant."

Old John said in a cold voice. Under the cold tone, hidden the burning anger in his heart.

"People don't make me, I don't make people, hehe, John Keswick, I will not let you down!".

"Beep! Beep! Beep~"

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, the gloomy old John stood on the spot with his brows furrowed, recalling Xia Yu's last sarcastic words.

Old John has stayed in Hong Kong for decades, and has a deep understanding of Chinese culture. The hidden meaning of the sentence "people don't offend me, I don't offend others" can still be understood.

From what he knew, starting from the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, it was clearly Xia Yu who attacked his company several times, and they responded passively.

But listening to Xia Yu's meaning, they are unreasonable, these attacks are revenge?

If there is hatred, there is a talk of revenge. So, does Xia Yu have hatred with them?

What is there that he doesn't know?

Old John frowned, trying to find the source of the problem and see what was going on, which would help him make a decision.

Otherwise, it will be a hidden danger after all. As the owner of a consortium, he does not allow things that are out of his control to exist inside!

"Where is the problem?"

Old John's head throbbed at the thought,

But I still keep pushing back what happened during this time, trying to find clues.

"Father, are you alright?"

"Yes, father, sit down first."

Seeing the way Old John was thinking hard, the brothers Henry Keswick and Charles Keswick hurriedly said with concern.

"Um!"

Old John responded subconsciously, raised his head slightly and swept across the faces of the two brothers.

It was just that when his eyes swept across Charles Keswick, a flash of light appeared in Old John's mind, and he remembered something, something he had inadvertently ignored before.

I still remember when Xia Yu attacked the Yihe Air Cargo Terminal Company, he took Niu Bijian and his son Charles Keswick to negotiate with Xia Yu. At that time, Xia Yu had a problem with the second son's attitude, and the performance of the second son Charles also changed. wrong.

At that time, he was still thinking of asking his second son Charles if he had anything to do with Xia Yu after he went back.

It's just that the conversation with Xia Yu broke down at that time, and Old John was very annoyed. After returning, he was busy arranging defenses and counterattacks, ignoring this.

When I think about it now, the more I think about it, the more I feel that there is a problem in it.

Seeing his father staring straight at him, Charles Keswick was very uncomfortable, feeling a little hairy in his heart, and couldn't help but ask timidly:

"Father, what's the matter with you?"

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Old John asked suddenly, staring straight at Charles Keswick. Henry Keswick and Niu Bijian on the side also looked at Charles subconsciously, but they were both confused and didn't know what Old John was thinking.

Charles Keswick was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, his expression became stiff, his eyes began to dodge, and he was obviously guilty.

Ever since Xia Yu kept sniping at the Jardine Consortium's company, Charles Keswick felt panic and always felt that it had something to do with him.

But because the consequences here are too great, he simply doesn't have the courage to take on this responsibility, so he has been hypnotizing himself and trying to make himself forget it.

But now, when his father asked, Charles Keswick found helplessly that under his father's power, he couldn't express himself at all.

"Tell me, at this time, are you still hiding it?"

Old John was an old man, and Charles Keswick's inferior performance made his heart sink. Intuition and reason told him that there should be something wrong with Charles Keswick, but it seemed that this second son was still lucky. , so he raised his volume and shouted with a stern face.

"Father, I...I..."

Charles Keswick was taken aback, and he stammered a little under the influence of Old John.

"There's one thing, it's just... It shouldn't matter, right?"

Charles Keswick lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Charles Keswick's abnormal performance made old John's heart sink. He knew that his son had always been more courageous, but he didn't have the courage to admit it now.

"Say, don't cause greater losses to the family because of your reasons!"

Old John grinned and said again.

"Charles, your father is asking you if it has any influence. You won't know until you say it."

Henry Keswick, the eldest brother, also frowned and said.

Only Niu Bijian kept his mouth shut. Although he was the right arm of Old John, he was not a member of the Keswick family after all, so it was inconvenient to interrupt.

"I say."

"When Xia Yu went to London before, I..."

Charles Keswick finally couldn't stand the pressure, and slowly said the secret that had always been uneasy in his heart.

"After Xia Yu came back, there was no reaction. I thought he didn't know it had anything to do with me, so I didn't care. That's how it is."

After Charles Keswick finished speaking, he lowered his head uneasily, not daring to look at the gloomy faces of his father and brother.

For a while, the office was quiet, except for the sound of Old John's heavy breathing.

Looking at the trembling second son, Old John's heart was even more angry. He pointed at Charles Keswick, and said with hatred: "You bastard! It's good not to learn, specialize in this kind of crooked way, do it. Even if you fail, you should have told me earlier, instead of taking chances!"

Hearing his father's scolding, Charles Keswick shrank his neck and lowered his head a bit. He didn't dare to raise his head at all, his face was full of guilt and self-blame.

"Charles, you... alas..."

Henry Keswick, the eldest brother, also had a very ugly face and clenched his fists. Even his brother, he wanted to beat him up.

This bastard brother!

After scolding for a while, Old John's anger has not subsided, but he is annoyed when he sees his second son now.

"Yes!"

Charles Keswick's heart froze for a moment, he could hear the deep disappointment in his father's tone, but now, he could only leave, so he answered in a low voice and left the office.

When Charles Keswick was about to reach the door, old John suddenly said, "Stop!"

Charles Keswick turned his head sharply back to Old John, and saw him say with a blank face, "Stand up straight at the door, and look up!"

Charles Keswick obeyed the order subconsciously, raised his head, but kept his eyes dodging, not daring to look at Old John.

It's just that he felt a lot better. After all, his father still didn't give up on him. This is the best news for him now.

Taking his eyes back from his second son, Old John frowned and pondered.

Now that the source has been found, old John will not be as naive as Charles Keswick.

There are various indications that Xia Yu had long known that Charles Keswick was involved in attacking him at the time, and was still the mastermind behind it.

It's just that Xia Yu is too tolerant, and has been hiding since returning from London, like a poisonous snake, constantly looking for opportunities to retaliate.

Old John was annoyed at Charles Keswick, not only partly because Charles was reckless, but more importantly because Charles did not choose to report to him after something happened, but hid it by himself with a fluke.

If Charles reports to him after the failure, he will definitely take precautions, and the current situation will never happen. The company is attacked again and again, but they can only respond passively, resulting in heavy losses!

What's more, if Charles Keswick didn't do it himself and told him his plans and ideas, Old John would mobilize more power to perfect the plan and try his best to be foolproof, maybe Xia Yu would have been killed long ago. , Xia Yu's company also got into the stomach.

After all, for Jiuding Newspaper Company, Old John also sees it, and it is absolutely false to say that he is not jealous!

The Jardine Consortium has grown in his hands, and it was still in that turbulent and dark age. It was absolutely impossible to say that his hands were not stained with blood, even if there was one more Xia Yu!

Now that everything is clear, there is nothing to say. Even if it is not for this tone, Old John will take the initiative to eliminate the danger!

After all, the hatred with Xia Yu can be said to be "making money and killing one's life". In Old John's view, this is a deadly hatred!

Save others by himself, if he is Xia Yu, he will definitely take revenge and fight to the end!

"Only a thief can be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days." Old John was still clear.

Now that the hatred is so big, Xia Yu is a genius again. When his strength is weaker than them, he dares to plan and snipe them one after another. If he continues to let it go, when Xia Yu's strength surpasses them, there is absolutely no chance of turning over.

"The threat must be eliminated!"

Old John's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said ruthlessly in his heart.

"Father, what should we do now? Xia Yu will definitely fight against us again and again, we can't let it go!"

Henry Keswick said solemnly.

"Yeah, Chairman, we don't have any wiggle room."

Niu Bijian also agreed, with an equally heavy heart. After all, the previous struggle can be understood as a normal business struggle, but after learning about the enmity between them, there is no way to stop it, and it will definitely fight until one side falls.

Unless it is said that Xia Yu took the initiative to withdraw his hands, write off the grudge, and the Keswick family bowed their heads.

Otherwise, the struggle in the future will be more intense, which is something that can be foreseen now.

"I know!"

Old John said solemnly.

"Since he wants to be with us forever, let him die!"

As soon as Old John said this, the expressions of the three people in the office changed. They did not expect Old John to be so decisive and decided to kill him.

Although they all have this idea in their hearts, they are all worried about the consequences. After all, Xia Yu has amazing energy now, and it can be said that he is standing at the top of Xiangjiang. If he is killed, Xiangjiang will definitely be shaken, and Huazi will definitely be shaken. A series of unknown consequences caused by the fried hair, even with the strength of the Jardine Consortium, may not be able to withstand it.

"Father, what is the consequence?"

Henry Keswick said with a heavy heart, wanting to know if his father had any plans in this regard.

"as a result of?"

"The consequence of not doing anything is that the entire consortium will be devoured by him and the Chinese capital. What else could be more serious than this?"

Old John asked rhetorically, with a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

Henry Keswick thought about it for a second, and suddenly he kept silent, nodding at Old John, indicating that he knew.

"There is an essential difference between a suspect and a prisoner!"

"Now that the Chinese capital is united, we can't take care of it anymore. Let's just kill the chickens and warn the monkeys, so that they don't dare to make up their minds!"

Old John thought about it for a while, and explained it a little bit, so that the three of them had a bottom line.

"Okay, I'll arrange a task for you..."

...

Outside, after Xia Yu held a press conference, the whole Xiangjiang suddenly exploded, the public opinion was tumbling, and the crowd was enthusiastic. Not only the four major exchanges, but even the streets, were talking about Xia Yu's acquisition of Wharf.

Many people were excited and hooked.

But it is true that the series of sniping and acquisition battles launched by Xia Yu during this period is definitely a rare drama in Xiangjiang for decades.

The most important thing is that this drama is completely different from the past. In the past, the British were the protagonists. For example, in the 1960s, the Chinese banks headed by Hang Seng Bank fell collectively and were eaten by the British one after another. .

But this time, it was completely the other way around. The Chinese capital showed its glory, and the Jardine Consortium, the No. 1 British-funded consortium in Hong Kong, was defeated one after another, throwing away its armor and armor.

Many people have a feeling of exaltation.

There is quite a taste of a serf turning over and singing!

At this moment, I don't know how many people regard Xia Yu as an idol and a goal to strive for all their lives.

Sir, be it!

Outside public opinion is bombed, and it is investors and financial institutions who have the greatest impact on the stock market. After all, they are the ones who pay.

After Xia Yu announced the acquisition of Wharf, the morale of the former Jardine Machine Group, which had been slumped by Jardine, immediately counterattacked, regained the mountain top in one fell swoop, and condensed the momentum even higher.

This general trend is reflected in the stock market, that is, all companies attacked by Chinese capital, the stock price skyrockets!

Investors and institutions who sold their stocks because of worry before, regretted their bowels, and some investors who almost sold, even shouted for danger.

Of course, the stock of Wharf has also risen a bit, but Xia Yu has long considered this and responded in advance.

The skyrocketing share price of Wharf is of course unfavorable for Xia Yu, who wants to privatize, because it means that he needs to spend more money to buy back shares.

Therefore, at the moment when the press conference was held, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. immediately contacted the exchange and applied for a trading suspension and delisting as an absolute majority shareholder. There was only one reason—the public shareholding ratio of Wharf Co., Ltd. as a listed company was lower than 25%!

This is a rigid rule. When the public shares of a listed company are less than 25%, it does not meet the requirements of listed companies and will be delisted before processing.

Even if Xia Yu doesn't take the initiative to apply, the exchange will require Xia Yu to make a choice to release the stock within a time limit, so that the public stock reaches more than 25%; or delist it!

This time, Xia Yu was very conscious and did not need to worry about the exchange at all, so he took the initiative.

As a result, the Keswick family's abacus to raise the stock price was directly defeated.

On the other hand, Xia Yu sent someone to go to the Wharf one step ahead of schedule and, as a major shareholder, requested a board meeting.

He wants to take some more equity and increase the equity to more than 66.7%. In this way, the privatization of the company and the share repurchase are completely his own words, so that the shares will fall into his bag and not be given to anyone. Chance!
