Chapter 390: The Ship King's Godson-in-law (Two Chapters in One)
"How much did the Keswicks spend?"
After all, he was always paying attention to the battle between Xia Yu and the Jardine Matheson Consortium, and knew that the total market value of the Jardine Machinery Group had rushed into the top ten ranks of Xiangjiang enterprises.
The proportion of equity in Xia Yu's hands is so large, the selling price will definitely not be low!
"A single share of 112 Hong Kong dollars, a total of 1.51 billion Hong Kong dollars were sold, including 30% of the equity of Jardine Insurance Advisors Group, and 1.36 billion in cash, the money I just transferred to you was just taken from the Jardine Consortium in the morning. β
Xia Yu smiled lightly and confessed, this situation cannot be hidden, and sooner or later it will be exposed, and now it has no impact on Bao Yugang.
Bao Yugang shook his head in admiration, he didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at this time, and finally he could only give Xia Yu a thumbs up to express what he thought.
At Bao Yugang's age, there are few things that can make him lose his temper, but a few days in the morning, he was shocked by Xia Yu three times in a row, and you can imagine how deeply Xia Yu touched him.
After a long time, Bao Yugang sighed infinitely: "Xia Sheng, there are many people I admire in my life, but until today, I found that the person I admire the most is you, nothing else, for you, I am completely convinced!"
"Haha, Bao Sheng, you praised it, I'm embarrassed to say it. β
Hearing Bao Yugang's heartfelt words, although Xia Yu was very happy in his heart, he didn't show it, but said modestly.
This kind of performance makes Bao Yugang even more admired, at this age, but he is not arrogant, it is really rare, and he is indeed a peerless ghost talent that is rare in a hundred years.
"By the way, did you tell Lao Huo and Li Zhaoji about this news?"
Bao Yugang asked suddenly.
"Not yet, I had just returned to the company after completing the deal with the Keswick family, and I received a call from you and rushed over, and I didn't have time to tell them about it. β
Xia Yu said that he knew that Bao Yugang was concerned about reminding him.
Bao Yugang bowed slightly, thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, with their ability, they won't be frightened by this news." β
"Now that you have won the Wharf again, in general, it is a good thing for us that you sold the shares of Jardine Machinery Group to the Keswick family, after all, the Jardine Matheson Consortium has not had much money, and now it has consumed 1.35 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, and most of this money must have been borrowed by Jardine Matheson. β
"If Jardine Matheson wants to stop our actions again, it will be difficult!"
Xia Yu nodded with a smile, he also thought of this, which is why he was not in a hurry to tell Li Jiacheng and the others the news.
Even if the Keswick family announced that they had won the battle for the Jardine Machinery Group, it would only be arrogant for a while, and in the end, it would still break the backbone again by the battle for Wharf.
was slapped in the face first, which would be a bigger blow to the morale of the Jardine Matheson Consortium!
In addition, as Bao Yugang said, this also helped Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng and others consume the funds of the Jardine Matheson Consortium, which can reduce the difficulty and resistance of their respective targets.
"When I met you, the Keswick family really reached the blood mold of eight lifetimes, and they will definitely be played to death by you, haha!"
As if thinking of the expression of his old rival Old John after learning the news, Bao Yugang couldn't help but shake his head and smiled.
"Dad, something happened!"
Just as Xia Yu and Bao Yu were chatting, Wu Guangzheng walked in with slightly hurried steps and blurted out.
Just finished speaking, when he saw that Xia Yu was still there, Wu Guangzheng's expression was a little strange, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and his gaze at Xia Yu was a little strange.
Seeing that his son-in-law wanted to speak and stopped, Bao Yugang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu thought it was a confidential matter, nodded to Bao Yugang, and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Bao Yugang said directly to Wu Guangzheng: "Let's say, Xia Yu is not an outsider, what can I say inconveniently." β
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yu was inconvenient to leave, and swallowed the words he wanted to say back into his stomach again.
With Bao Yugang's understanding of Wu Guangzheng, he naturally understood that what Wu Guangzheng was going to say was related to Xia Yu, which could be seen from Wu Guangzheng's eyes.
Presumably Xia Yu can also feel it, so he simply let Wu Guangzheng say it, so as to save Wu Guangzheng from leaving a bad impression in Xia Yu's heart.
Hearing his father-in-law's words, Wu Guangzheng nodded, and then said: "I got the news just now, the Keswick family held a huge press conference to announce the purchase of all the shares of Jardine Machinery Group in Xia Sheng's hands, and won the battle. β
"And also issued a serious warning to us, declaring that our operation will never succeed, and the Jardine Matheson consortium will fight back to the end!"
After saying it in one breath, Wu Guangzheng also subconsciously glanced at Xia Yu and his father-in-law Bao Yugang.
Just looking at this, Wu Guangzheng muttered in his heart and felt very strange.
Because in his mind, this news is definitely very serious, and it is Xia Yu who caused all this.
Thanks to his father-in-law Bao Yugang, he still spent time to help Xia Yu, but Xia Yu betrayed his father-in-law and others, in his opinion, this is a complete betrayal! The situation is very bad.
But what I didn't expect to see now was that my father-in-law Bao Yugang and Xia Yu did not change their faces greatly, but showed a smile.
That's right, it's a smile!
It's just that this smile seems a little weird!
"What's the matter? Could it be that Xia Yu has already told his father-in-law about this?"
Wu Guangzheng thought in his heart.
Seeing that his son-in-law was very troubled and obviously thinking nonsense, Bao Yugang laughed and explained his confusion: "Xia Sheng has already told me about this, there is nothing to worry about, and the Jardine Matheson Consortium will not be happy for long." β
Wu Guangzheng was confused and still very confused.
Seeing that Wu Guangzheng hadn't figured it out, Bao Yugang smiled, looked at Xia Yu, and asked Xia Yu if he wanted to talk to Wu Guangzheng.
Xia Yu nodded with a smile.
Bao Yu just understood, and said a few words to Wu Guangzheng: "Wharf!"
"Wharf?"
Wu Guangzheng looked puzzled, and muttered again, not knowing why his father-in-law mentioned this company.
looked at Bao Yugang and Xia Yu again, and found that his father-in-law was looking at him with expectant eyes, the same eyes that he usually used to train and test him.
"Is this testing me?"
A thought flashed through Wu Guangzheng's heart and fell into deep thought.
After a while, just when Bao Yu was about to be disappointed, Wu Guangzheng's eyes lit up, he raised his head suddenly, and blurted out: "Is Xia Sheng's real target being Wharf? Jardine Machinery Group is just a deception disguise?"
Seeing that his son-in-law finally figured it out, Bao Yugang nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right!"
"Hiss......"
Seeing his father-in-law's confirmation, Wu Guangzheng's eyes widened, he gasped, and looked at Xia Yu with a faint smile like a ghost, his heart was like turning over the river and the sea, and he couldn't calm down at all.
Seeing his son-in-law's shocked appearance, Bao Yugang felt very interesting, and even thought out differently whether he was like this just now.
"Bell bell bell ......"
At that moment, the phone on the desk rang sharply.
Bao Yugang gave Xia Yu an apologetic look, walked over and looked at the number, and guessed the intention of the call.
Thinking about it, he connected the phone: "Hey, I'm Bao Yugang, Lao Huo, good morning!"
"Lao Bao, something happened, did you watch TV, the Jardine Matheson Consortium has taken the shares in Xia Sheng's hands, I called his company just now, it has been busy and has not been opened, I don't know what the situation is, no matter why Xia Sheng wants to do this, we have to prepare early." β
Huo Yingdong's heavy words came from the phone.
"Haha!"
Hearing Huo Yingdong's words, Bao Yugang laughed, which made Huo Yingdong on the other end of the phone frown, I don't know what else to be happy about, when is this, just don't worry, it's still fun!
Just when Huo Yingdong was puzzled, he heard Bao Yugang say: "Old Huo, don't worry, it's not a bad thing. β
"Isn't it a bad thing?
Huo Yingdong's mind turned quickly, and the words passed into Bao Yugang's ears through the microphone.
"It's up to Xia Sheng to tell you about this, he is right next to me now, I just asked him for something, otherwise he would have told you a long time ago, and you wouldn't have to worry about it. β
Bao Yugang explained, and by the way, he kindly excused Xia Yu.
After speaking, Bao Yugang took the microphone and handed it to Xia Yu, who came over, and whispered: "It's about Jardine Machine." β
Xia Yu understood, thanked him, and put the microphone to his ear.
"Huo Sheng, I'm Xia Yu, good morning! I'm sorry, I didn't have time to inform you, it's my fault, next time I will hold a banquet to make amends to everyone. β
Xia Yu took the lead in admitting his mistake and dispelled Huo Yingdong's possible unhappiness.
"It's okay, it's okay, you tell me what's going on, I'm curious, like a cat scratching. β
Huo Yingdong said jokingly, his mood had become calm.
From the time Bao Yu just asked Xia Yu to answer the phone, he knew that this matter was not what Jardine claimed, and there should be an inside story that he didn't know, which made him very curious.
"Here's the thing, the stock was sold to the Keswick family this morning, and it consumed more than a billion of their cash, my target is not Jardine Machinery Group, you can rest assured, the Keswick family will be happy all of a sudden, I will wait until I go back, they will be absolutely dumbfounded!"
Xia Yu explained carefully.
"It's not JEC, what is it?"
Huo Yingdong was shocked by Xia Yu's words, shook his head and put aside the matter of more than one billion cash, and grabbed the key point and asked.
"It's Wharf, I've already taken care of it!"
Xia Yu didn't hide it and said into the microphone.
Then, after listening to the silence on the microphone for a long time, Huo Yingdong's somewhat hoarse but hard-to-shock voice came: "Xia Sheng, admire!"
Xia Yu smiled indifferently, and said again into the microphone: "Huo Sheng, I'm going to rush back later, it's not very convenient, I want to trouble you to tell the others, but apart from us, don't disclose it to the public first, I have to notify the TV station to arrange a press conference first, so as to have the greatest public opinion effect." β
"I understand, then you should be busy first, I'll go and inform them, so that they don't have to worry, haha!"
Huo Yingdong smiled understandingly.
"Let's do this first, say hello to Lao Bao for me!"
The last sound, the sound was very loud, the silence effect of the phone in this era was not good, the sound leakage was serious, and Huo Yingdong deliberately said loudly, which caused Bao Yugang on the side to hear it clearly, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, as if he was amused by Huo Yingdong's bold temperament.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu said goodbye to Bao Yugang: "Bao Sheng, I'll go back and prepare first." β
"Well, your business matters!"
Bao Yugang said understandingly.
"By the way, Bao Sheng, presumably when I announce the news, the Jardine Matheson Consortium will definitely be in chaos, and you will see if there is a chance at that time. β
Xia Yu kindly reminded.
Bao Yugang smiled and said, "Thank you, I won't miss it." β
"I'll give it to you!"
"No, no, I'll just go out by myself. β
Although Xia Yu excused himself several times, Bao Yugang still took Wu Guangzheng and enthusiastically sent Xia Yu downstairs until he was in front of the car in front of the company building.
"That Bao Sheng, Wu Sheng, I'll go first, see you next time!"
shook hands with Bao Yugang again and said goodbye, Xia Yu got into the car, rolled down the window, and waved until the car started and left.
After seeing Xia Yu's car leave, Bao Yugang retracted his gaze and said to Wu Guangzheng, who was still restless beside him: "How is it, how big does it feel that compared with Xia Sheng, how big is the gap?"
Wu Guangzheng came back to his senses, and said with a wry smile on his face: "I can't compare, the gap is too big, bold, amazing, thoughtful, and outstanding, I ...... Far from it!"
Hearing Wu Guangzheng's evaluation, Bao Yugang nodded slightly, patted his son-in-law's shoulder, and sighed: "Xia Sheng is indeed a genius in the sky, and his methods are old and spicy, I may not be able to compare with him, and I don't know how he learned." β
"Maybe I'm really old, I can't understand the world of prodigies! But existence is reasonable, from ancient times to the present, there are always a few people who are destined to leave a dazzling brilliance in an era, even if time passes, it will not fade. β
"This is the case with the ancient Ganluo, LΓΌ Buwei, Zhuge Kongming, etc. β
"It's normal for one to appear in this era now, but many people are destined to be crushed by him!"
"But it's a great blessing for someone like him to be in company, and you must know that rising is not necessarily achieved by hard work alone, and sometimes knowing how to take advantage of the situation, discovering and seizing the opportunity is more effective than hard work. β
"Look at Xia Sheng, how long has it been, and he is about to catch up with the accumulation of half a lifetime of his father and others, and it is only a matter of time before he surpasses us, and you also see the road of his rise, although strong ability is a very critical aspect, but on the other hand, why not because he is good at seizing the opportunity and grasping the situation?"
"He has turned borrowing into an art, which I can't compare to him, and you have seen his handwriting many times, so you should be able to understand it. β
"Think more and learn more from him, it's good for your growth!"
Wu Guangzheng nodded again and again to say that he remembered, and he was very shocked, because for so many years, he had never seen his father-in-law express so many feelings, which showed that his father-in-law was indeed shocked, so he felt it.
Seeing that Wu Guangzheng listened, Bao Yugang nodded with satisfaction.
seemed to be worried that he was talking too much, which hit Wu Guangzheng, and he patted Wu Guangzheng on the shoulder and encouraged: "But don't be presumptuous, put aside Xia Sheng, a ghost, in my opinion, among all the young people of the same generation in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, you can rank first-class, not necessarily worse than others." β
"You are still young, but there is still a lot of room for growth, as a father, I hope that one day, your achievements can surpass me, don't let me down!"
Bao Yugang said earnestly, and his words were full of an elder's ardent expectations and blessings for his children.
Wu Guangzheng's eyes were hot, and he nodded heavily and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will never let you down!"
"Hmm!"
Bao Yugang showed a kind and satisfied smile, patted Wu Guangzheng's shoulder twice again, and then turned around and walked inside.
