章節 420: Chapter 420: The 8,000-Square-Meter Mansion
Two days later, Shen Bi reported to Xia Yu that the three companies had been acquired. Xia Yu immediately went to HSBC to complete the handover.
In less than an hour, Xia Yu and HSBC clarified the business details and signed the contracts. The three cash cows—Milk Company, Jardine Automotive Group, and Kinmen Construction Company—were now in Xia Yu's possession.
With the companies in hand, Xia Yu didn't deliberately make a fuss about it. However, given the scale of these companies and the number of employees, he gradually visited each to assert his authority, and inevitably, the news leaked out.
This caused quite a stir!
The entire Hong Kong was shaken. Many people were awed by Xia Yu's grand acquisitions, and figures like Bao Yugang and Li Zhaoji immediately called to congratulate him.
Afterward, Xia Yu felt that many of the big players targeting the Jardine Consortium were now stimulated or intimidated by him. The intensity of the competition suddenly escalated as everyone feared losing their desired companies to others.
Xia Yu simply smiled at this situation and chose to ignore it.
He stopped acquiring companies, choosing instead to act as a middleman and earn intermediary fees.
In a short period, he had absorbed Jardine Insurance Consulting Group, Kowloon Warehouse Group, Niu Nian Company, Jardine Automotive Group, and Kinmen Construction. His strength had expanded rapidly. He needed to slow down and invest time and energy into restructuring these companies; otherwise, controlling them would be pointless.
The first task was to integrate Milk Company and Kinmen Construction with Kowloon Warehouse Group.
This was a massive project. All three were established companies with decades or even a century of history, making their situations very complex and not easy to integrate.
Particularly with Milk Company and Kowloon Warehouse Group, which operated in various industries, it was more complicated compared to Kinmen Construction's singular focus on construction.
Therefore, Xia Yu needed to firmly control all three companies, ensure smooth operations, understand their specific conditions in detail, and create a comprehensive integration plan before completing the final integration.
This was destined to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive task!
However, before that, Xia Yu had a very important task: moving!
Living in a small house was no longer suitable. Moreover, residing in a neighborhood with frequent foot traffic posed security concerns.
For hosting purposes, the small house couldn't accommodate the big shots, and Xia Yu's reputation would suffer.
So, improving living conditions was a must!
While researching Kowloon Warehouse Group, Xia Yu discovered that the group had a newly built luxury mansion that hadn't been sold yet!
Without hesitation, Xia Yu acquired the largest and best property, No. 008, a seaside mansion.
The mansion covered an area of 88,000 square feet, approximately 8,186 square meters, featuring residential areas, a large swimming pool, garden lawns, a large garage, and a rockery fountain—luxurious in every way!
After inspecting the site, Xia Yu was very satisfied. He instructed the staff to clean and equip the mansion with all necessary amenities within three days and to recruit suitable maids, butlers, and gardeners.
Three days later, a convoy of black luxury cars arrived and stopped at the mansion. The doors opened, and Xia Yu and his family stepped out.
What greeted them was a massive, imposing black iron gate standing 4.8 meters high.
On either side of the gate were two stone lions, each standing 1.8 meters tall.
The marble columns of the gate displayed the words "Xia Residence" in elegant dark gold letters.
Seeing Xia Yu's arrival, two security personnel from behind the gate slowly opened it.
Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction and looked at his awestruck younger siblings and parents with a smile, asking, "How do you feel?"
"Big Brother, is this our new home?"
Xia Xiaomei blinked her big eyes, incredulously asking, her eyes full of anticipation and admiration.
"Ah Yu, is this really our new home?"
Hearing his daughter's question, Xia Yu's father came to his senses, swallowed hard, and fixed his gaze on his eldest son with dry lips, asking.
"It says 'Xia Residence.' This is our new home!"
Xia Yu smiled and pointed at the "Xia Residence" inscription on the column.
"Wow, Big Brother, you're amazing! We're moving into a new house!"
Xia Xiaomei cheered and jumped up, her face glowing with excitement and joy.
The older brother, Xia Ming, also flushed with excitement.
As for the youngest, Yan Hong, even though this wasn't his home yet, he joined in the happiness since he would be living here in the future.
"Let's go. The gate is open. We'll first park the car in the garage and then show everyone around."
Xia Yu instructed, letting his family into the car. Following his guidance, the car headed towards the garage.
On the way to the garage, Xia Yu's parents and the younger ones rolled down the car windows, eagerly observing the scenery along the way, full of curiosity.
After parking in the garage, they entered the residential area. They were immediately impressed by the luxurious decorations and the enormous space, followed by gasps of astonishment and laughter.
After arranging the rooms, seeing the younger ones eager to explore outside, Xia Yu took his family on a tour. Xia Yu did all the talking while they expressed their surprise and enthusiasm.
Walking through the mansion, which covered over 8,000 square meters, took a full ten minutes before they returned to the residential area.
Next, Xia Yu gathered all the staff and security personnel for introductions and then had the maid prepare lunch.
After lunch, they went back to move in all the needed items.
With his family settled, Xia Yu finally relaxed. Sitting on the sofa, he took a moment to unwind, then remembered something. He grabbed a key and headed to the study.
In the study, Xia Yu approached the two rows of bookshelves, twisted a spot on the right bookshelf, and pulled it open. The bookshelf, equipped with a sliding track, parted to reveal a door blending with the wall.
Xia Yu found the spot, twisted the metal plate, revealing a keyhole. He inserted the key and opened the door, which led to a staircase going down.
Turning on the light, Xia Yu descended the stairs and soon arrived in the basement.
The basement was divided into five rooms, totaling around 280 square meters. Unfortunately, it was empty with nothing inside.
Standing in one room, looking at the clean walls and empty surroundings, Xia Yu clicked his tongue, shaking his head in disappointment, "Looks like I need to fill this up. An empty basement this large doesn't look right."
"In the future, this will be the Xia family's treasure vault. How can a wealthy family not have heritage? I'll find a way to fill it with antiques. This era is perfect for collecting antiques."
"If I fill it with antiques, in a few decades, its value could easily reach several billion. Hehe!"
After spending some time in the basement, Xia Yu returned to the study, restored everything to its original state, and went back to the living room.
