章節 695: Chapter 695: The Way of Kings and the Way of Tyrants
Li Zhaoji's mental arithmetic was strong, and he instantly did some calculations in his mind.
He would never really be as ignorant as he said he was; his subordinates had long ago told him the approximate value of the company, and Xia Yu's valuation of 80 million Hong Kong dollars was also about right.
HK$28 million, which is equivalent to a premium of about 22%, is within the normal range of acquisition premiums.
No matter how much is at stake, it is only a matter of a few hundred thousand, and with his and Xia Yu's current wealth, there is no point in arguing.
Besides, when Xia Yu took the lead in hunting Jardine Matheson Group before, he also benefited a lot from Xia Yu.
Therefore, he said firmly, 'This price is fair, just do as you say!'
'Firm!'
'I didn't bring anyone with me this time, so when is a good time to sign the contract?'
Xia Yu praised, and then asked.
'There's no better day than today. Let's do it now. This is my company, so there's no need for you to go through the trouble of doing it on your side. I'll have someone draw up a contract, and we'll have some tea and chat first.'
Li Zhaoji waved his hand and said, then called over a subordinate and gave him some instructions, and the subordinate immediately went out to draw up the contract.
After the matter was settled, the two of them began to laugh and chat again.
As they chatted, the conversation turned to the Zhao family.
Li Zhaoji looked curious and asked, 'Xia Sheng, may I ask?'
Xia Yu knew what Li Zhaoji wanted to ask, and he also needed to spread the reason, so as to occupy the moral high ground. He nodded with a smile, "Of course, you want to ask me why I targeted the Zhao family, right?'
Li Zhaoji didn't expect Xia Yu to volunteer the answer, and he froze for a moment before nodding immediately, "Yes.'
'Actually, the reason is a bit embarrassing,'
Xia Yu said after a moment's thought.
Then, with Li Zhaoji listening, Xia Yu continued with a cold face, 'A friend of mine came to see me, the daughter of an English duke. Last night, she happened to bring my girlfriend along to accompany her on a tour, and almost got offended by the Zhao family's idle young man. If I hadn't appeared in time, my friend and my girlfriend could have gotten into trouble.'
On hearing this, Li Zhaoji's expression became serious.
Women are men's forbidden corruption, and when it comes to Xia Yu's woman, things are no small matter.
Then Xia Yu laughed at himself and said, 'And ever since I was young, there have been many people who wanted to beat me up, but there hasn't been a single one who wanted to be my father. It's a bit special to be scolded in the nose.'
'I also know what the situation is like for the children of big families, so I gave him a chance, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to cherish it.'
'If I don't react, I'll really be seen as a coward. I can't explain it to my friends, and I can't explain it to her father.'
'The Grand Duke of England, Li Sheng, you also know what his status and strength are.'
Li Zhaoji nodded and said with the same hatred, 'Xia Sheng, if it were me, I would react no less than you.'
'If you don't teach your children, it's your fault, the Zhao family deserves it! I support you in seeking justice!'
As he said this, Li Zhaoji crossed out the Zhao family in his heart.
The Zhao family's spoiled brat wanted to assault Xia Yu's woman, and he even cursed and pointed at Xia Yu, almost getting the duke's daughter into trouble.
If the duke's daughter got into trouble, there was no need to think that Xia Yu would definitely have to bear the consequences.
Don't forget that Hong Kong is still ruled by the British. A British duke has absolutely deep ties with the British royal family and government, and his say has far more weight than that of the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Murray MacLehose.
If the British government forces Governor Murray to suppress Xia Yu, Murray will definitely do it, and Xia Yu will face huge trouble.
Each of these reasons is inexcusable, not to mention the fact that the three are piling on top of each other.
As for the specific circumstances and causes at the time, Li Zhaoji simply ignored them. For an adult, these are not important; what matters is what happened.
In short, after hearing Xia Yu's explanation, Li Zhaoji knew that Xia Yu was completely justified and that no one was in a position to gossip.
Moreover, the Zhao family was not as powerful as Xia Yu, and they deserved to be punished by Xia Yu.
Li Zhaoji also knew very well that if Zhao Congyan and the others knew the reason behind it, they would be so angry that they would spit blood, but this was the consequence of losing control over future generations, and they must bear it.
At this moment, he had already made up his mind. He would go back and use this case to teach his children a good lesson, and strengthen their discipline, so that they would not end up like the spoiled brat from the Zhao family and get into trouble one day.
He could handle minor trouble, but he was afraid of getting into big trouble that he would also have trouble handling, and that would be frustrating.
Knowing the reason, Li Zhaoji tactfully changed the subject and talked about other business matters.
Xia Yu also naturally started chatting.
Soon, the subordinate came in again with the contract that had been prepared.
Xia Yu confirmed that it was correct after reading it and signed it directly.
Li Zhaoji gave Xia Yu all the materials.
'Mr Li, I will have someone transfer the money to your company's account as soon as I get back.'
'It doesn't matter if it's a bit late. You are the God of Wealth, am I afraid that you will run away?'
Li Zhaoji shook hands with Xia Yu and said with a smile.
'I'd like to run away, haha!'
Xia Yu joked.
Li Zhaoji laughed along.
'Mr Li, I have something to do, so I'll go first. Let's get together next time!'
'Sure, anytime!'
'Bye!'
Li Zhaoji saw Xia Yu to his car and watched him leave.
'The Zhao family? Who would have thought that Zhao Congyan, who was so wise for so long, would stumble over this issue?'
'It's the father's fault for not teaching his son...'
Li Zhaoji shook his head again in lament, before turning back to the company.
In the car, Xia Yu looked at the file bag in his hands, and as he recalled the conversation he had just had with Li Zhaoji, a smile crept onto the corner of his mouth.
He had obtained the shares, and had even spread the word through Li Zhaoji's mouth. Both of the objectives he had set before coming here had been achieved.
In fact, with Xia Yu's strength, without any explanation, he could dominate and eliminate the Zhao family, and no one on Hong Kong Island would dare say anything openly.
But there would definitely be a lot of gossip about him behind closed doors, which would be a big disadvantage.
Originally, he was in the right, but because the details were not handled properly, in the end, the major Chinese families in Hong Kong were sitting on pins and needles, and they would definitely cause him trouble by boycotting him.
These troubles, which threatened his foundation, could have been avoided, and at most would have just taken a little time.
In short, the road to business supremacy requires both the kingly and the tyrannical approaches, and he will use whichever is most beneficial to him.
A wise man chooses the right path!
Meanwhile, while Xia Yu and Zhao Congyan were each running about, what was happening in the stock market was getting more and more serious. Many stock investors were gossiping about it, and even many people who didn't originally speculate in stocks came to join the fun.
This news finally reached the ears of the other party involved in last night's incident.
Guo Jianglin, still unsure, woke up from his sleep at home and hurried to the stock exchange. Looking at the information on the trading board and listening to the discussions of the surrounding investors, he felt like the sky was about to collapse.
'It's over, revenge has come so quickly!'
'The two companies of the Zhao family have evaporated more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars, how much is that? It would be enough to bury me if it was all in paper money!'
'If the Chao family can't hold on, what am I going to do if the stock god remembers me, a nobody?'
'It's going to be the end!'
Guo Jianglin, a man in his thirties, was now full of worry, muttering to himself and looking completely like a complaining wife.
The more he thought about it, the more panic he felt.
Subconsciously, he wanted to go out and hide.
'My life is more important, I'd better run. I'll hide outside for a year or six months. Big shots have a million things to deal with every day. After such a long time, the stock god will definitely forget about me. If there are no problems, I'll come back. If there are still problems, I'll just emigrate and never come back.'
'Right now, the stock god is busy dealing with the Zhao family, so he probably hasn't had time to think about me yet,'
Guo Jianglin felt a sense of foreboding at this thought, and left the stock exchange in a hurry, heading home.
Unfortunately, he was only partly right; Xia Yu really did not have the time to deal with him for the time being.
At Xia Yu's level, he really did not bother wasting time on him.
But that does not mean that no one else is eyeing him!
