章 423: Chapter 423 Joining Forces

  David studied Hardy and asked, "Are you planning to get involved as well?"

  Hardy smiled, "That's exactly what I'm suggesting. I want to acquire shares in HSBC, but we need to avoid competing against each other. That's why I came to talk to you."

  "But if you see the risks, why are you still interested?"

  "This is a gamble. Losing might cost us hundreds of millions, but winning could bring enormous rewards. Maybe you don't know, but last year I had Wells Fargo enter the Hong Kong market and invest in several industries there, including a shipping company. Many of these enterprises have already begun operations. Owning HSBC shares would greatly benefit my ventures in Asia."

  David thought for a while.

  Although he didn't fully understand why Hardy was willing to take this gamble, he felt a strange confidence in Hardy's ability to win, given Hardy's extraordinary rise to success and the theories he had shared with David in the past.
