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

Xia Yu always looked like a smiling tiger before, I don't know what he was thinking behind his smiling expression, the city was very deep, and he was an old fox.

And now, it is unexpectedly sharp, and the style of acting is diametrically opposite.

Is this going to be hidden, confident to fight with me?

A thought flashed through Old John's heart, and his whole face was gloomy and terrible.

Since Xia Yu left no room for him, hit his door, and pointed at his nose and scolded, if he didn't work hard, the Jardine Matheson Consortium would lose in his hands sooner or later.

"Well, you should pray that you can continue to be so arrogant. ”

Old John said in a cold voice, and under the cold tone, there was a burning anger in his heart.

"People don't offend me, I don't offend people, hehe, John Keswick, I won't let you down!".

"Toot!Toot!Toot~"

Hearing the busy sound on the phone, the gloomy old John stood in place with a frown, recalling Xia Yu's last mocking words.

John Sr. has been in Xiangjiang for decades and has a deep understanding of Chinese culture, and the hidden meaning of the phrase "people don't offend me, I don't offend people" can still be understood.

In his understanding, starting from the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, it was obvious that Xia Yu attacked his company several times, and they responded passively.

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

There is a talk of revenge only if there is hatred, so there is a grudge between Xia Yu and them?

What was there in it that he didn't know?

Old John frowned, trying to get to the source of the problem and see what was going on, so that he could make a decision.

Otherwise, if you don't find it, it's a hidden danger after all, as the head of a consortium, he doesn't allow things to be out of control inside!

"What went wrong?"

Old John's head ached faintly when he thought about it, but he kept pushing back what had happened during this time, trying to find clues.

"Father, are you alright?"

"Yes, father, sit down first. ”

Seeing Old John's meditative appearance, the two brothers, Henry Keswick and Charles Keswick, hurriedly said with concern.

"Hmm!"

Old John subconsciously responded, raising his head slightly and sweeping over the faces of the two brothers.

It was only when his gaze swept over Charles Keswick that a flash of inspiration appeared in Old John's mind, and he remembered something, something that he had inadvertently ignored before.

I still remember that when Xia Yu sniped at Jardine Air Cargo Company, he took Niu Bijian and his son Charles Keswick to negotiate with Xia Yu, when Xia Yu's attitude towards his second son was problematic, and his second son Charles's performance was not right.

At that time, he was still thinking about 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 collapsed at that time, and Old John was very annoyed, and after he went back, he was busy arranging defense and counterattack means, ignoring this stubble.

Now that I think about it, the more I think about it, the more I feel that there is something wrong with it.

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

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Old John asked suddenly, staring straight at Charles Keswick, and Henry Keswick and Niu Bijian on the side also subconsciously looked at Charles, but both of them were a little 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, and his eyes began to dodge, obviously looking weak.

Since Xia Yu continued to snipe at the Jardine Matheson Consortium's company, Charles Keswick was apprehensive, and always felt that this matter had something to do with him.

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

But now when his father asked, Charles Keswick found powerlessly that under his father's power, he couldn't behave freely.

"Say, at this time, do you still want to hide it?"

Old John is old, Charles Keswick's inferior performance made his heart sink, and his intuition and reason told him that it should be Charles Keswick who has a problem here, but it seems that this second son seems to be lucky, so he raised his voice with a straight face and shouted.

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

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

"There is one thing, but it should be ...... It shouldn't matter, right?"

Charles Keswick lowered his head and said with little confidence.

Charles Keswick's abnormal performance made Old John's heart sink, he knew that his son had always been bolder, but he didn't have the courage to admit it now, but it was conceivable that what he did was definitely not small.

"Say, don't cause more losses to the family because of you!"

Old John blushed and said again.

"Charles, my father is asking you if it has any impact, and you won't know until you say it. ”

Henry Keswick, who is the eldest brother, also said with a frown.

Only Niu Bijian kept silent, although he was the left arm and right arm of Old John, he was not a member of the Keswick family after all, so it was inconvenient to intervene.

I said. ”

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

Charles Keswick finally couldn't resist the pressure and slowly told the secret buried deep in his heart that had always disturbed him.

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

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

For a moment, the office fell silent, except for the heavy breathing of old John.

Looking at the trembling second son, Old John's heart was even more angry, he pointed his finger at Charles Keswick, and said with hatred: "You bastard!

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

"Charles, you...... Alas......"

As the eldest brother, Henry Keswick's face was also very ugly, his fists were clenched, and even his brother wanted to beat him.

This bastard brother!

After scolding, Old John's anger had not subsided, but he was annoyed when he saw his second son now, so he simply shook his hand, out of sight and out of mind, pointed to the door and said, "You get out of here!"

"Yes!"

Charles Keswick's heart suddenly cooled, and he could hear the deep disappointment in his father's tone, but now, he had no choice but to leave, so he whispered and left the office.

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

Charles Keswick jerked his head back to look at old John, and saw him expressionless and said, "Stand up straight at the door, and look up!"

Charles Keswick subconsciously obeyed the order, raised his head and chest, but his eyes continued to dodge, and he did not dare to look at Old John.

It's just that he feels a lot better, and his father still hasn't given up on him after all, which is the best news for him now.

Withdrawing his gaze from his second son, Old John frowned and pondered.

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

There are all kinds of indications that Xia Yu has long known that Charles Keswick was involved in the attack on him at that time, and he was also the mastermind behind it.

It's just that Xia Yu is too good at forbearance, and he has been hiding since he came back from London, like a poisonous snake, constantly looking for opportunities to take revenge.

Old John was angry with Charles Keswick, in addition to partly because Charles was bold, and more importantly, because Charles did not choose to report to him after the accident, but hid alone with a fluke mentality.

If Charles had reported to him after the matter had failed, he would have definitely taken precautions, and there would never have been such a situation, the company was attacked again and again, and they could only react passively, resulting in heavy losses!

What's more, if Charles Keswick didn't take matters into his own hands and tell him his plans and ideas, Old John would also mobilize more forces to improve the plan and try to be foolproof, maybe Xia Yu would have been killed a long time ago, and Xia Yu's company would have been eaten into his stomach.

After all, for Jiuding Newspaper Company, Old John also sees it in his eyes, and it is absolutely fake to say that he is not greedy!

The Jardine Consortium grew strong in his hands, and it was still in that turbulent and dark era, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has no blood on his hands, even if there is one more Xia Yu, it is not too much!

Now that everything is clear, there is no need to say anything, even if it is not for this breath, Old John must take the initiative to eliminate the danger!

After all, the hatred with Xia Yu can be said to be "murder for money", in the eyes of Old John, this is a mortal enemy!

Treat others with himself, if he is Xia Yu, he will definitely retaliate to the end and be against him to the end!

"There are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves", old John is still clear.

Now that the feud is so big, Xia Yu is another genius, when his strength is weaker than them, he dares to calculate and snipe them one after another, if he continues to let it go, when Xia Yu's strength surpasses them, there will be absolutely no chance to turn over.

"The threat must be eliminated!"

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

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

Henry Keswick said with a solemn face.

"Yes, Chairman, we don't have any room to turn around. ”

Niu Bijian also agreed, his mood was equally heavy, after all, the previous struggle could be understood as a normal business struggle, but after learning about the grudge between them, there was no way to stop it, and he would definitely fight until one side fell.

Unless Xia Yu took the initiative to stop and write off the grudge, and the Keswick family also bowed their heads.

Otherwise, the struggle will be even more intense, which is now foreseeable.

"I know!"

Old John said in a deep voice.

"Since he wants to fight us to the death, then he will die!"

As soon as Old John said this, the faces of the three people in the office changed, they didn't expect Old John to be so decisive, and they directly decided to kill him.

Although they all have this idea in their hearts, they are all worried about the consequences, after all, Xia Yu is now amazingly energetic, and it can be said that he is standing at the top of Xiangjiang, if he is killed, Xiangjiang will definitely shake the mountains, and Huazi will be even more fried, and a series of unknown consequences will not be able to withstand even with the strength of the Jardine Matheson consortium.

"Father, what are the consequences?"

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

"The consequences?"

"The consequence of not doing it is that the entire consortium will be eaten away by him and Huazi, what is more serious than this?"

Old John asked rhetorically, feeling that he was not angry and arrogant.

Henry Keswick thought for a moment, and suddenly fell silent, and nodded to 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, so we just kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, so that they don't dare to make up their minds again!"

Old John thought about it, but explained it a little, so that the three of them had a bottom in their hearts.

"Okay, I'll assign you a task......"

......

Outside, after Xia Yu held a press conference, the entire Xiangjiang suddenly exploded, public opinion rolled, and the crowd was excited, not only the four major exchanges, but even the streets and alleys talked about Xia Yu's acquisition of Wharf.

Many people were thrilled and hooked.

But indeed, the series of sniper 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, such as in the 60s, the Chinese-funded banks led by Hang Seng Bank collectively sank, and they were eaten by British capital one after another, not to mention how aggrieved the Chinese were.

But this time, it was completely reversed, and the Chinese capital showed its strength, beating the Jardine Matheson Foundation, the first British-funded consortium in Xiangjiang, to retreat one after another, throwing away its armor and abandoning its armor, so it was not embarrassed!

Many people have a feeling of raising their eyebrows.

There is quite a smell of serfs turning over and singing!

At this moment, I don't know how many people regard Xia Yu as an idol and the goal of their life.

Husband, it should be so!

Public opinion in the outside world has been bombed, and it is still shareholders and financial institutions that have a big impact on the stock market, after all, they are the ones who pay for it.

After Xia Yu announced the acquisition of Wharf, the morale of Jardine Matheson Machinery Group, which had plummeted because it was recaptured by Jardine Matheson, suddenly counterattacked, recaptured the mountain in one fell swoop, and condensed the momentum higher.

This general trend is reflected in the stock market, that is, all the companies attacked by Chinese capital, and the stock prices have risen wildly!

The shareholders and institutions who sold their stocks because they were worried before have repented of their intestines, and some shareholders who almost sold them are even more dangerous.

Of course, the stock of Wharf Company has also risen a little, but Xia Yu has already taken this into account and responded in advance.

Wharf's stock price has skyrocketed, which is of course a disadvantage for Xia Yu, who wants to go private, because it means that he needs to spend more money to buy back shares.

Therefore, at the moment of the press conference, Jiuding Securities immediately contacted the exchange and applied for suspension and delisting as an absolute major shareholder, for only one reason - the public shareholding ratio of Wharf Company, as a listed company, is less than 25%!

This is a hard and fast 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.

Even if Xia Yu does not take the initiative to apply, the exchange will ask Xia Yu to make a choice, release the shares within a limited time, let the public shares reach more than 25%, or delist!

This time, Xia Yu was very conscious, and he didn't have to worry about the exchange at all, so he took the initiative to put it forward.

As a result, the Keswick family's plan to raise the stock price was frustrated.

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

He wants to take some more equity and increase his equity to more than 66.7%, so that the company's privatization and share repurchase will be completely his word, so that the shares can fall into his bag and not give anyone a chance!
