章節 627: Chapter 627: A complete blowout
Dick Keswick could not help but be angry. At this moment, he was like an erupting volcano, venting his anger recklessly, and he was on the verge of going crazy.
God knows the pain and indignation in his heart.
In the past few days, he has not been able to eat or sleep well, and he has lost so much hair that he does not know how many times he has scratched it.
When the news broke that Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were acquiring shares in the Zhilian Group, it already put a lot of pressure on him, and the appearance of Rothschild & Sons Ltd. even more so.
Before he could calm down, he learned that other Chinese shareholders were also getting restless, and that the background of Guangming Fund had not been properly investigated. His head was spinning.
That was not the end of it. Today, Jiuding Securities came directly to the door, wanting to buy the shares in his hands. This was even more of a shock to him. In the end, he suppressed the panic in his heart and temporarily dealt with the people from Jiuding Securities.
Unexpectedly, just when he was physically and mentally exhausted, he heard these news one after the other, which shocked him so much that he almost fainted.
In a short period of time, all kinds of wolves jumped out, but he was defenceless and could only watch as the Hongkong Land Group was slaughtered at will.
The source of this situation is none other than the betrayal of the three family members, the Burton Keskes!
Before, they had gathered everyone together late at night to discuss the situation, and Claude Keske and Rodney Keske had promised not to sell their shares.
But just a few days later, they had secretly sold their shares to their enemies without telling him or Phil Keske.
How could Dick Keske not be angry? How could he not hate?
But the fact was that it had already happened, and no amount of anger could undo it.
So in the face of an angry Dick Kersek, Claude Kersek and the other two looked on with cold faces, allowing him to vent his emotions.
The indifference of the three men made Dick Kersek punch a hole in the air. After finally roaring and laughing miserably, he sat down in his chair, powerless.
Even so, Dick Kessler still stared at Claude Kessler and the other two, mumbling, 'Why did you do this?'
In the end, Rodney Kessler, who was not ruthless enough, could not bear to do it, and sighed, 'Dick, we had to do it. We can't hold onto these assets. It's useless to force it.'
'Look at the situation now, the Chinese have clearly united. Even if Claude and I don't sell our shares, Bright Fund and the Chinese can join forces to fight against us.'
'Even the Rothschild family is getting involved, do you think we can hold back?'
'If we offend the Rothschild family, we won't even be able to go back to the UK!'
Indeed, upon hearing the Rothschild family, Dick Keswick's lips trembled as he asked, 'Bright Fund is the Rothschild family?'
Rodney Keswick looked at Claude Keswick, and saw the latter slowly say, 'No, it belongs to Xia Yu. I sold my shares to Xia Yu, and now it shows that it is Bright Fund, which is already very obvious.'
Upon hearing this, Dick Keswick trembled, staring at Claude Keswick. After a long while, he said to himself with a miserable smile, 'So he was the one behind the scenes. It's normal for you to be afraid of him. How many people in the entire Xiangjiang are not afraid of him...'
'But we are family. You can't hide this from me and Phil. This is betrayal. Do you understand?'
'Bang~'
First he muttered to himself, and then Dick Kersek suddenly sprang up, slapped his palm on the table, and yelled at the three of them, his bloodshot eyes wide.
'Especially you, Burton, if it weren't for you, things wouldn't be so bad!'
Facing Dick Kersek's angry tirade, Burton Kersek could no longer remain silent. He said with a cold face, 'Dick, are you still blaming me? If you want to blame someone, blame the fact that we have different positions. You have your ideas, I have my choices. Why should I stay in Hong Kong with you and wait to die?'
'Tell me, what makes you think you can influence my choices?'
With these words, Burton Keswick stared defiantly at Dick Keswick's bloodshot eyes.
'Hey...'
At that moment, a sigh sounded out, but it was Phil Keswick, who had been silent all along.
Everyone involuntarily looked over.
They saw Phil Keswick pull Dick Keswick, who was sitting next to him, back into his chair and comfort him, saying, 'Dick, now that it's happened, there's no point dwelling on the past. Calm down and think about how to solve the situation we're facing.'
'How can we solve it now? The Bright Foundation belongs to Xia Yu, and he's in cahoots with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. Now that the Land Group is in their hands, they might oust me tomorrow.'
Dick Keswick said with emotion.
'Dick!'
Upon hearing Dick Keswick's complaints, Phil Keswick frowned and shouted.
'It is now clear that Xia Yu and those Chinese are after us again. Our family's largest company, Hongkong Land, is about to be taken away from us, and we cannot hold onto the rest of our family's businesses. We have no choice now, and the best way out is to return to the UK.'
'This time it's the Hongkong Land Group, next time it'll be Jardine Engineering, Jardine Matheson Holdings, Maxim's Group. We can't hold back these wolves. The Burdons have already decided to leave Hong Kong, and the stakes in the other companies they hold will definitely be sold again. We have no choice.'
'Burdon is right. No one has the right to interfere with someone else's choice. Let's go back to the UK.'
'No matter what you choose, I've already decided to go back to my hometown!'
Dick Keswick was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh and said in a dry voice, 'You're right, let's go back, let's go back...'
Hearing him say this, the atmosphere eased considerably. Phil Keswick said, 'So who are you going to sell your shares to? Didn't Jiuding Securities come knocking on your door today?'
'No!'
'I won't sell to Jiuding Securities. If it weren't for that person, our Jardine consortium would still be the largest in the Far East. He is an enemy of our Keske family. He can't possibly want the shares I have in my hands!'
'Anyway, I've decided to leave. I'm not afraid of him anymore. What can he do? The Rothschild family has already intervened, hasn't it? I'll sell my shares to the Rothschild family, and let them deal with him!'
Dick Keswick's eyes flashed with hatred as he said, 'The Rothschild family has already interfered, hasn't it? I'll sell my shares to the Rothschild family and let them deal with him!'
Burton Keswick's face changed colour and he reminded him, 'Dick, don't get us into trouble. The Bright Foundation has a lot of influence in the UK. If you offend him too much, and if he gains even more power in the future, we'll still face a lot of trouble!'
Dick Keswick's face changed slightly, but the hatred in his heart could not be quelled. He was not going to compromise and stubbornly insisted, 'This has nothing to do with you. I will solve my own problems myself.'
After saying this, Dick Keswick angrily left the room, leaving the four of them looking at each other.
'Nephil, what are you going to do? Who are you going to sell the shares to?'
Burton Keswick looked at Phil Keswick and asked with concern.
Phil Kethake looked at Burton Kethake with a half smile and said, 'Mine? Just wait and see who makes a higher offer!'
'Now, I'm going to find a way out for myself, heh...'
With that, Phil Kethake also shook his head and left the room.
This internal family meeting once again ended in discord.
