章節 383: Chapter 383: The Ship King Teaches His Son-in-Law
"How much did the Keswick family spend?"
After settling his emotions, Bao Yugang asked with curiosity. After all, he had been closely following the struggle between Xia Yu and the Yihe Consortium and knew that Yihe Machinery Group's total market value had already entered the top ten of Hong Kong's enterprises.
With such a significant stake in Xia Yu's hands, the selling price would definitely not be low!
"One hundred twelve Hong Kong dollars per share. A total of 1.51 billion Hong Kong dollars, which includes 30% of Yihe Insurance Consulting Group's shares and 1.36 billion in cash. The money I just transferred to you was just received from Yihe Consortium this morning."
Xia Yu confessed with a faint smile. This situation couldn't be hidden, and it would eventually be exposed. Telling Bao Yugang now had no impact.
Bao Yugang shook his head in admiration, unable to find words to describe his feelings at the moment. In the end, he could only give Xia Yu a thumbs-up to express his thoughts.
At Bao Yugang's age, it was rare to see something that could leave him so astounded. But this morning, he had been shocked three times by Xia Yu. It was evident how profound an impact Xia Yu had on him.
After a long while, Bao Yugang expressed his deep feelings: "Mr. Xia, I've admired many people in my life, but only today did I realize that the person I admire the most is you. No other reason, I, Bao Yu Gang, am completely convinced by you!"
"Ha ha, Bao, you flatter me. I'm feeling embarrassed."
Although Xia Yu was very pleased by Bao Yugang's heartfelt words, he didn't show it, but rather responded with humility.
This attitude made Bao Yugang admire him even more. At such a young age, he was accomplished yet modest—truly rare. Indeed, he was a once-in-a-century genius.
"By the way, have you informed Mr. Ho and Mr. Li about this news?"
Bao Yugang suddenly asked.
"Not yet. I just finished the transaction with the Keswick family and came back to the company, and then received your call. I haven't had a chance to tell them about this."
Xia Yu replied. He knew that Bao Yugang was reminding him out of concern.
Bao Yugang nodded slightly and, after a moment's thought, said, "That's fine. With their abilities, they won't be frightened by this news."
"Now that you've acquired Wharf Holdings, overall, selling Yihe Machinery Group's stock to the Keswick family is actually a good thing for us. After all, Yihe Consortium already had limited funds, and now they've spent 1.35 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. Most of this money was definitely borrowed by Yihe."
"If Yihe wants to obstruct our actions again, it will be difficult!"
Xia Yu nodded with a smile. He had already considered this aspect, which is why he didn't rush to inform Li Jiacheng and the others.
Even if the Keswick family announced their victory in the battle for Yihe Machinery Group, it would only be a brief show of arrogance. In the end, they would still be struck by the decisive battle for Wharf Holdings.
A show of arrogance followed by a slap in the face would be even more damaging to Yihe Consortium's morale!
Moreover, as Bao Yugang said, this also helps Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng, and others by depleting Yihe Consortium's funds, which would lower their difficulty and resistance in acquiring their respective targets.
"Meeting you has truly brought the Keswick family bad luck. They're bound to be played to death by you, haha!"
It seemed Bao Yugang was imagining the expression of his old rival, Old John, upon learning this news, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"Dad, something's happened!"
As Xia Yu was chatting with Bao Yugang, Wu Guangzheng hurried in, speaking as he entered.
As soon as he spoke, Wu Guangzheng's expression became strange when he saw Xia Yu still there. His mouth twitched slightly, and his gaze at Xia Yu was peculiar.
Seeing his son-in-law hesitating to speak, Bao Yugang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu thought it was some confidential matter, so he nodded to Bao Yugang, signaling he was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Bao Yugang directly said to Wu Guangzheng, "Speak up. Xia Yu isn't an outsider. What's there to hide?"
With these words, Xia Yu found it inappropriate to leave and swallowed his words back.
Bao Yugang, who understood Wu Guangzheng's intention, knew that Wu Guangzheng's issue was related to Xia Yu, as indicated by Wu Guangzheng's expression.
Xia Yu could sense this too, so he let Wu Guangzheng speak up to avoid leaving a bad impression.
Upon hearing his father-in-law's words, Wu Guangzheng nodded and said, "I just received the news that the Keswick family held a grand press conference, announcing the purchase of all the Yihe Machinery Group shares from Mr. Xia and claiming victory in the battle."
"They also issued a severe warning to us, declaring that our actions would absolutely fail, and Yihe Consortium would retaliate to the end!"
Wu Guangzheng said in one breath and then subconsciously looked at Xia Yu and his father-in-law.
However, upon looking, Wu Guangzheng was puzzled, feeling quite strange.
Because, in his view, this news was extremely serious, and it was all caused by Xia Yu.
To his surprise, he saw that his father-in-law and Xia Yu did not change their expressions. Instead, they were smiling.
Yes, smiling!
But this smile seemed a bit odd!
"What's going on? Has Xia Yu already informed my father about this matter?"
Wu Guangzheng thought to himself.
Seeing his son-in-law's confused expression, obviously overthinking, Bao Yugang laughed and clarified, "Xia Yu has already told me about this matter. There's nothing to worry about. Yihe Consortium won't be happy for long."
Wu Guangzheng was still confused and did not understand.
Seeing that Wu Guangzheng didn't get it, Bao Yugang smiled and looked at Xia Yu, asking if Xia Yu wanted to explain to Wu Guangzheng.
Xia Yu nodded with a smile.
Bao Yugang understood and gave Wu Guangzheng a hint: "Wharf Holdings!"
"Wharf Holdings?"
Wu Guangzheng looked puzzled, repeating the name, unsure why his father-in-law mentioned this company.
Looking at Bao Yugang and Xia Yu, he noticed that his father-in-law was looking at him with an expectant gaze, just like when testing him in the past.
"Is this a test?"
Wu Guangzheng had a thought and fell into deep contemplation.
After a while, just as Bao Yugang was about to feel disappointed, Wu Guangzheng's eyes lit up. He suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "A feint attack? Could it be that Mr. Xia's real target is Wharf Holdings? Yihe Machinery Group was just a decoy?"
Seeing his son-in-law finally understand, Bao Yugang nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right!"
"Wow…"
Upon confirmation from his father-in-law, Wu Guangzheng's eyes widened in shock, taking a deep breath, and looked at the smiling Xia Yu with awe, feeling like a storm was raging inside him, unable to calm down.
Seeing his son-in-law's astonishment, Bao Yugang found it amusing and even wondered if he had looked like this earlier.
"Ring, ring, ring…"
At this moment, the phone on the desk rang urgently.
Bao Yugang gave Xia Yu an apologetic look and walked over to check the number, guessing the purpose of the call.
Thinking this, he answered the phone, "Hello, this is Bao Yugang. Mr. Ho, good morning!"
"Old Bao, something's wrong. Have you seen the news? Yihe Consortium has already acquired the stocks from Mr. Xia. I called their company just now, but the line was busy and I couldn't get through. I don't know what's going on. No matter why Mr. Xia did this, we need to prepare early."
On the other end of the line, Ho Yingdong spoke with a somewhat heavy tone.
"Ha ha!"
Hearing Ho Yingdong's words, Bao Yugang laughed, causing Ho Yingdong to frown in confusion. He couldn't understand why Bao Yugang was laughing at a time like this.
Just as Ho Yingdong was puzzled, Bao Yugang said, "Old Ho, don't worry. This isn't a bad thing."
"Not a bad thing? Is there some secret here?"
Ho Yingdong's mind was quick, and he asked through the phone.
"It's better for Xia Yu to explain this to you. He is right here beside me. If not for my business with him, he would have told you already, and you wouldn't be so worried."
Bao Yugang explained, also making excuses for Xia Yu.
Afterward, Bao Yugang handed the phone to Xia Yu, who had walked over, and said quietly, "It's about Yihe Machinery."
Xia Yu understood, thanked him, and then took the phone.
"Mr. Ho, this is Xia Yu. Good morning! I apologize for not informing everyone in time. It's my fault. I'll make it up with a banquet next time."
Xia Yu took the initiative to apologize, dispelling any possible displeasure from Ho Yingdong.
"It's okay, it's okay. Just tell me what's going on. I'm very curious, like a cat scratching at my heart!"
Ho Yingdong, who had been calmed down, spoke with a relaxed tone, waiting for Xia Yu's explanation.
