Chapter 816: Against the Sky!
Half a month later, Xu Haoran and Xia Shiming jointly announced that Xu Haoran would enter the position of vice president of Daxia Group, and Xia Yu would also be promoted to vice president to prepare for the next merger.
Although it is not explained, almost everyone knows that this is a signal that the two families have become one, and an unprecedented super empire is about to be formed, even the four major families with a long history and prestige in Shangjing can only be seen in the dust.
In addition, the Daxia Group began to sell off various fixed assets under its name in order to raise funds and pay the balance of the casino license.
After three months of fire sales, sold at a price lower than the market price, Daxia Group raised a total of 55 billion funds, paid the final payment, and obtained the second license issued by Daliang.
On the day the license was issued, reporters from all over the country rushed to hear the news, reported on the scene, and interviewed Xia Shiming, but Xia Shiming pushed Xu Haoran out, saying that he would gradually fade out of the management of Daxia Group, and Xu Haoran would be responsible for the main business of Daxia Group.
For a time, Xu Haoran became the target of all the media for interviews.
Under the countless flashes and the attention of everyone, Xu Haoran was interviewed by reporters and made an impassioned speech.
The second casino on Xingyue Island, Xu Haoran is full of confidence and will definitely succeed, and he did not hesitate to declare war on the Zhao family casino in public, threatening to surpass the Zhao family casino within five years and become a signboard of Xingyue Island!
The audience applauded thunderously.
Xia Yu was by Xu Haoran's side, and he felt that he was about to lose himself.
Only someone like Xu Haoran dares to make such a bold statement and surpass the Zhao family within five years? What an incredible thing it is.
In addition, it should also be noted that the casino has not yet been officially built, and such a large project is impossible to complete without two or three years, that is to say, Xu Haoran must surpass the existence of Zhaojia Casino in two years and at most three years.
Zhao Tianyi of Xingyue Island was watching the live interview in front of the TV, and when he heard Xu Haoran's bold words at the scene, he couldn't help laughing at the moment, and said: "This Xu Haoran is really arrogant, the casino that my Zhao family has been running for decades, and he wants to surpass it in a few years? β
Winning the license with 40 billion yuan is definitely the first big gamble of this century, and the name of Xia Maniac has been verified again.
Xia Shiming has succeeded and failed, so this time it left a suspense for all the people of Da Liang, will he succeed? Can Xu Haoran really surpass the Zhao family and become the symbol of Xingyue Island?
β¦β¦
Won the license and made a bold statement, the next step is the location of the casino, as well as the design and planning, preparation for construction and other work, these Xu Haoran is not good at it, the real estate started Daxia Group is an expert, so the elite team of Xia Yu and Daxia Group is responsible, he is only responsible for putting forward some reference opinions, and the general direction is controlled.
Although the Zhaojia Casino on Xingyue Island is famous, it is by no means the largest in the world, and what Xu Haoran has to do is to shine as much as possible with the casino license in his hand and become a luxury casino that attracts worldwide attention.
In addition to the planning and deployment on the surface, Xu Haoran also has a secret layout.
And in Xu Haoran's view, these hidden methods are the key to victory.
The two major transportation companies of Xingyue Island, Hongyun and Sitong, are actually under Xu Haoran's control, but they have not surfaced yet, once it is time to really play an effect, Zhao Tianyi is too late to react, this is just one of them.
Xu Haoran also strongly supported the Move Forward Party's election in the whole of Daliang, with its focus on Xingyue Island, and the next presidential election.
After Dong Qi lived in Xingyue Island for a long time in Xu Haoran, as long as he had the opportunity, he would definitely come to Xingyue Island to visit Xu Haoran, and his intention was self-evident, as if he was Xu Haoran's protΓ©gΓ©.
And Xu Haoran also plans to support Dong Qi to participate in the election of the next governor of Xingyue Island, calculating the time, just in time for the opening of the casino.
Also, Liu Xi's ambitions are not small, and he also has a secret agreement with Xu Haoran.
These off-board moves, which cannot be seen on the bright side, are the killer features that Xu Haoran relies on to win.
If Zhao Tianyi thought that Xu Haoran would only compete with him with conventional business competition methods, he would definitely suffer a big loss.
Of course, Xu Haoran will not be ambiguous in the head-to-head contest.
The amount of money invested in the casino can be called the largest in the history of Daliang, and compared with the Zhao family casino, I don't know how many times more.
Zhao's casino has been established for a long time, so there are certain limitations, with Zhao Tianxiong's economic strength at that time, as well as the environment at the time, it is destined to be impossible to achieve the extreme, and Xu Haoran is a latecomer, but he can have the advantage of being the last.
The location of the casino is naturally in the sphere of influence that Xu Haoran now controls, so as to avoid being targeted by Zhao Tianyi.
Originally, far away from the most prosperous area, everyone was puzzled, but Xu Haoran was confident.
β¦β¦
A year and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and the day was hotly debated in Parliament, and then all the members cast their votes, and finally the amendment to the Marriage Law was passed by an overwhelming majority.
On the same day, the largest demonstrations broke out in Daliang, and countless defenders of women's rights took to the streets, pulling banners and shouting slogans in protest, saying that polygamy was a step backwards and discrimination against women.
As the initiator of the proposal to revise the marriage law, the Forward Party was pushed to the forefront.
Xu Haoran was not spared, and even more than 10,000 women gathered outside his villa on Xingyue Island to demonstrate that day, and Xu Haoran had to gather a large number of younger brothers to guard the villa.
Fortunately, the demonstrators were also afraid of Xu Haoran's people, and they were able to be rational and restrained, so no large-scale clashes broke out.
Xu Haoran stood by the window on the top floor of the villa, looking at the scene outside, somewhat sinner-like, in order to be able to achieve his goal, but launched such a bill against the trend of the times, Xu Haoran is afraid that he will leave a reputation for eternity, right?
Xia Yu finally waited for this day, walked behind Xu Haoran, hugged Xu Haoran, and said, "Brother Ran." β
Xu Haoran sighed, turned around and said, "What do you say will be written about me in the history books a hundred years later?"
Xia Yu said: "I don't care how the history books are written, but I am very happy. β
Xu Haoran said: "Why. β
Xia Yu said: "Because they will definitely write Xu Haoran for a goblin named Xia Yu to go against the trend of the times." β
Xu Haoran was suddenly relieved in his heart, in the past, there were princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, and now there is Xu Haoran who goes against the sky for women, no matter whether he is infamous or famous, it is not in vain.
β¦β¦
On the second day after the bill was passed, Xu Haoran officially announced that he was engaged to Xia Yu.
Before Xia Shiming, president of Daxia Group, announced that Xu Haoran was the vice president's true intention, and all Daliang people woke up, it turned out that Xu Haoran and the Xia family had already reached a tacit understanding of marriage, and a year and a half ago Xia Shiming announced that Xu Haoran was the vice president for today.
Also on the same day, Daxia Group announced that it would officially change its name to Minghao Group.
This name takes one word from each of Xu Haoran and Xia Shiming's names, and its meaning is self-evident, and at the same time, Xia Yu officially succeeded Xia Shiming's class and became the president of Minghao Group.
Xia Shiming withdrew, and Xia Maniac made a desperate bet, and the casino invested with half of his assets had not yet opened, so he retired and handed over the rest of the stage to Xu Haoran and Xia Yu.
At the end of the engagement banquet on this day, Xu Haoran suddenly received a phone call, a call from Lu Fei, who had not been in touch for a long time.
But when Xu Haoran was about to pick it up, Lu Fei hung up again.
Xu Haoran thought about it and didn't call back.
In the past, it was because of the restrictions of the Marriage Law, but now there is no such restriction, and there can be no worries, but Xu Haoran still didn't go to Lu Fei again.
The time interval is too long, Xu Haoran no longer knows how to get along with Lu Fei, but he still remembers Lu Fei's appearance when he opened a bar.
I still remember the first time I went to work in a bar, I was amazed when I saw Lu Fei, and the child who was gone before he was born.
Maybe without the difficulties of the Lu family, I should be with her, right?
But if there was no difficulty from the Lu family, how could he meet Xia Yu, how could he marry Jin Ling'er, and how could he have Xu Haoran today?
