Chapter 393： Exposure and murder (2

Hearing Xia Yu's tearing words, the old John on the other end of the phone was stunned. Xia Yu's reaction was completely different from his usual behavior and the impression left in his mind.

Before Xia Yu always looked like a smiling tiger. Behind his smiling expression, he didn't know what he was thinking. The city mansion was very deep, and he was just like an old fox.

But now, he is sharp and sharp, acting in the opposite style.

Is this not going to hide anymore, have confidence to fight with me?

A thought flashed through Old John's mind, his entire face was gloomy and terrible.

Since Xia Yu left no room to hit his door and pointed at his nose to curse, then if he didn't work hard, the Jardine Consortium would be defeated in his hands sooner or later.

"Well, you should pray that you can continue to be so arrogant."

Old John said in a cold voice, and in his cold tone, what was hiding was the burning anger in his heart.

"People don't offend me, I don't offend people, hehe, John Keswick, I will not let you down!".

"Beep! Beep! Beep~"

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, the gloomy old John stood on the spot with his brows furrowed, recalling Xia Yu's last sarcasm.

Old John has stayed in Xiangjiang for decades and has a deep understanding of Chinese culture. The hidden meaning of the phrase "people don't offend me, I don't offend people" is still understandable.

In his understanding, starting with the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, it was Xia Yu who attacked his company several times, and they responded passively.

But listening to Xia Yu's meaning, they are unreasonable, these attacks are regarded as revenge?

Only when there is grudges can there be talk of revenge. So, Xia Yu has grudges with them?

What is there that he doesn't know?

Old John frowned, trying to find the source of the problem and see what was going on, which would help him make a decision.

Otherwise, he didn't find it, it was a hidden danger after all. As the owner of a consortium, he did not allow things outside his control to exist inside!

"Where is the problem?"

Old John felt a dull pain in his head, but he kept pushing back what happened during this period, trying to find clues.

"Father, are you okay?"

"Yes, father, sit down first."

Seeing Old John thinking hard, the brothers Henry Keswick and Charles Keswick said with concern.

"Ok!"

Old John subconsciously replied, and slightly lifted his head to sweep across the faces of the two brothers.

It's just that when his gaze swept across Charles Keswick, there was an aura in Old John's mind, and he remembered something, something he had previously overlooked inadvertently.

I still remember that when Xia Yu sniped at the Jardine Air Cargo Terminal Company, he brought Niu Bijian and his son Charles Keswick to negotiate with Xia Yu. At that time, Xia Yu had a problem with his second son, and the performance of his second son Charles wrong.

At that time, he was thinking about asking his second son Charles if he had anything to do with Xia Yu after he went back.

It was just that the talk with Xia Yu collapsed at that time. Old John was very annoyed. After returning, he was busy arranging defenses and counterattacks and ignored this.

Now when I think about it, the more I think about it, the more I feel there is a problem.

Seeing his father staring straight at him, Charles Keswick was very uncomfortable, feeling a little hairy in his heart, and couldn't help but ask timidly:

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Old John asked suddenly, staring straight at Charles Keswick, Henry Keswick and Niu Bijian on the side also looked at Charles subconsciously, but both of them were a little confused and didn't know what Old John was thinking.

Charles Keswick was taken aback for a moment, then his face changed, his expression became stiff, his eyes began to dodge, with a guilty conscience.

Ever since Xia Yu kept sniping on the companies of the Jardine Consortium, Charles Keswick was in a panic, always feeling that this matter had something to do with him.

But because the consequences were too great, he didn't have the courage to take it and couldn't bear the responsibility, so he hypnotized himself and tried to make himself forget.

But now when his father asked, Charles Keswick found weakly that he couldn't perform well under his father's power.

"Let's say, at this time, do you still have to hide it?"

Old John is so sophisticated, and Charles Keswick’s poor performance made him sink. His intuition and reason told him that it was Charles Keswick that had a problem here, but it seemed that this second son seemed to be lucky. , So he sullenly raised his voice and shouted.

"Father, I...I..."

Charles Keswick was taken aback, with a ghost in his heart, he stammered a bit under the influence of Old John.

"There is one thing, but it should...should be okay?"

Charles Keswick lowered his head and said with lack of confidence.

Charles Keswick’s abnormal performance made Old John's heart sink. He knew that his son was always courageous, but he still has the courage to admit it. It is conceivable that what he did was not small.

"Say, don't cause greater loss to the family because of you!"

Old John grinned and said again.

"Charles, my father is asking you if there is any influence, you only know when you say it."

Henry Keswick, the eldest brother, also frowned.

Niu Bijian was the only one to shut up. Although he was the right arm of Old John, he was not a member of the Keswick family after all, so it was inconvenient to interrupt.

"I say."

"When Xia Yu went to London before, I..."

Charles Keswick finally couldn't resist the pressure, and slowly revealed the secret that has been deeply disturbing in his heart.

"After Xia Yu came back, there was no response. I thought he didn't know it was related to me, so I didn't care about it. That's how it happened."

After Charles Keswick finished speaking, he lowered his head anxiously, not daring to look at the gloomy faces of his father and brother.

For a while, the office calmed down, leaving only the heavy breathing of Old John.

Looking at his trembling second son, the anger in Old John's heart was even more intense. He pointed his finger at Charles Keswick and said with a hatred of iron and steel: "You bastard! Good not to learn, specialize in this kind of crooked way. Forget it, if you fail, you should tell me early instead of taking a fluke!"

Hearing his father's scolding, Charles Keswick shrank his neck and lowered his head a little bit. He did not dare to look up, his face was full of guilt and self-blame.

"Charles, you...oh..."

As the eldest brother, Henry Keswick also had a very ugly face, with his fists clenched, even if it was a brother, he couldn't wait to beat him.

This **** brother!

After scolding, Old John's anger still persisted, but he was annoyed to see his second son now, so he simply waved his hand, out of sight, and pointed to the door and said, "Get out of here!"

"Yes!"

Charles Keswick's heart was cold for a moment. He heard the deep disappointment in his father's tone, but now, he could only leave, so he responded in a low voice and left the office.

When Charles Keswick was about to reach the door, Old John suddenly said, "Stop!"

Charles Keswick turned his head abruptly to look at Old John, only to see him say blankly: "Stand up straight at the door, look up!"

Charles Keswick subconsciously obeyed the order, raising his head and chest, but his gaze was still dodge, afraid to meet old John.

It's just that he felt much better, and his father still didn't give up on him after all. This is the best news for him now.

Withdrawing his gaze from the second son, Old John frowned in thought.

Now that the source has been found, Old John will not be as naive as Charles Keswick.

There are indications that Xia Yu had known that Charles Keswick was involved in the attack at that time, and he was still behind the scenes.

It's just that Xia Yu can bear it too much. After returning from London, he has been hiding, like a poisonous snake, constantly looking for opportunities to retaliate.

Old John was angry with Charles Keswick, except in part because Charles was bold, and more importantly, because Charles did not choose to report to him after the incident, but was hiding by himself with a fluke mentality.

If Charles would report to him as soon as things failed, he would definitely take precautions, and there would never be such a situation. The company was attacked time and time again, but they could only respond passively, causing heavy losses!

What's more, if Charles Keswick didn’t do it himself and told him his plans and ideas, Old John would also mobilize more power to perfect the plan and try to be foolproof. Maybe Xia Yu would have been killed long ago. , Xia Yu’s company was also eaten up.

After all, for the Jiuding Newspaper Company, Old John was also in his eyes. It is absolutely false if he is not greedy!

The Jardine Consortium grew stronger in his hands, and it was still in that turbulent and dark age. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no blood on his hands, even if one more Xia Yu is not too much!

Now that everything is clear, there is nothing to say, even if it is not for this tone, Old John will take the initiative to eliminate the danger!

After all, the hatred with Xia Yu can be said to be "fortune and murder", in the eyes of Old John, this is a vengeance!

To save others by oneself, if he were Xia Yu, he would definitely retaliate and fight to the end!

"Only a thousand days is a thief, there is no thousand days to guard against thieves." Old John still knows the truth.

Now that the enemy is so great, Xia Yu is another genius, weaker than them, and dare to calculate and attack them one after another. If he continues to let him go, when Xia Yu's strength exceeds them, there is absolutely no chance of turning over.

"The threat must be eliminated!"

Old John's eyes were full of murderousness, and his heart was cruel.

"Father, what should we do now? Xia Yu will definitely go against us again and again, and can't let it go!"

Henry Keswick said solemnly.

"Yes, Chairman, we don't have any room for reversal."

Niu Bijian also agreed, with the same heavy heart. After all, the previous struggle can be understood as a normal commercial struggle, but after learning about the enmity between them, there is no way to stop it, and he will definitely fight until one party falls.

Unless it is said that Xia Yu took the initiative to stop and wiped out the enmity, and the Keswick family also bowed their heads.

Otherwise, the struggle that follows will be more intense, which is something that can be foreseen now.

"I know!"

Old John said solemnly.

"Since he wants to live with us endlessly, then he will die!"

As soon as Old John said this, the expressions of the three people in the office changed. They didn't expect Old John to be so decisive and immediately decided to kill.

Although they all have this idea in their hearts, they are all worried about the consequences. After all, Xia Yu has amazing energy and can already be said to be standing on the top of Xiangjiang. If he is killed, Xiangjiang will definitely shake the mountain, and Huazi will even more. Even with the strength of the Jardine Consortium, the series of unknown consequences caused by the explosion of hair may not be able to withstand it.

"Father, this consequence?"

Henry Keswick said with a heavy heart, and wanted to know if his father had any plans in this regard.

"as a result of?"

"The consequence of not doing anything is that the entire consortium will be wiped out by him and the Chinese capital. What other consequences are more serious than this?"

Old John asked rhetorically, with a feeling of not being angry at all.

Henry Keswick thought about it again, then he said nothing, and nodded to Old John to show that he knew.

"There is a fundamental difference between a suspect and a prisoner!"

"Now that the Chinese capital is united, we can't take care of it anymore, so we can just kill the chickens and curse monkeys so that they don't dare to make any more ideas!"

Old John thought for a while and explained it a little bit, so that the three of them had a bottom.

"Well, I will arrange tasks for you..."

...

Outside the outside world, after Xia Yu held a press conference, the entire Xiangjiang suddenly exploded, public opinion tumbling, and sentiments were enthusiastic. Not only the four major exchanges, but even the streets and alleys were talking about Xia Yu's acquisition of Wharf.

Many people were very excited and cried.

However, it is true that the series of sniping and acquisition wars launched by Xia Yu during this period is definitely a rare drama in Xiangjiang in decades.

The most important thing is that this drama is completely different from the past. In the past, the British were the protagonists. For example, in the 1960s, the Chinese banks headed by Hang Seng Bank collapsed and were eaten by British capital one after another. .

But this time, it was completely the other way around. The Chinese capital showed its prowess and defeated the Jardine Consortium of the First British Consortium of Hong Kong.

Many people have a feeling of exuberance.

There is quite a taste of serfs turning over and singing!

At this moment, I don't know how many people regard Xia Yu as an idol, and the goal of his life.

Man, be so!

The explosion of public opinion from the outside world has a major impact on the stock market. It is investors and financial institutions. After all, it is them who paid the money.

After Xia Yu announced the acquisition of Wharf, the morale that had fallen sharply because the Jardine Machinery Group was recaptured by Jardine, immediately countered, regained the top of the mountain in one fell swoop, and consolidated its momentum even higher.

This general trend is reflected in the stock market, that is, all the companies attacked by Chinese capital have their stock prices skyrocketing!

Shareholders and institutions that sold stocks because of worry before have regretted it. Some stockholders who almost sold it are even more vociferous.

Of course, Wharf’s stock has also risen a bit, but Xia Yu has already taken this into consideration and responded in advance.

The skyrocketing share price of Wharf is certainly not good for Xia Yu, who wants to privatize, because it means that he needs to spend more money to buy back shares.

So at the moment of the press conference, Jiuding Securities immediately contacted the exchange and applied for suspension and delisting as an absolute majority shareholder There is only one reason-the Wharf as a listed company The public shareholding ratio is less than 25%!

This is a rigid requirement. When the public shares of a listed company are less than 25%, it does not meet the requirements of a listed company and it will be delisted.

Even if Xia Yu does not actively apply, the exchange will require Xia Yu to make a choice to release the stock within a time limit so that the public shares can reach more than 25%; or delist it!

This time, Xia Yu was very conscious and didn't need to worry about the exchange at all, so he took the initiative.

As a result, the Keswick family's calculation of wanting to raise the stock price fell through.

On the other hand, Xia Yu sent someone to the Wharf in advance to request a board meeting as a major shareholder.

He wants to take some more shares and increase his shareholding to more than 66.7%. In this way, the privatization of the company and the stock repurchase are completely his words, allowing the stock to fall into his bag and not to anyone opportunity!
