Hearing these words, Xiang Xu could not help but be stunned.
“It’s hard for them …… to go so far as to go against me for a small Shan Xing Consortium, right?”
Xiang Xu said with a bitter smile.
“Of course not, we are all from the same worldly gentry, naturally it is not possible for us to fall out over such a small matter. It’s just that ……”
“Only what?”
Xiang Xu asked.
After a pause, Old Zhao continued, “You should know, Third Young Master, that there is an unwritten rule against such annexations as the Shan Xing Consortium. This rule is that we cannot eliminate the root of the problem, we have to leave them a chance to survive!”
“I know this rule, isn’t it to better conceal the existence of our extra-worldly giants on one hand, and on the other hand, to allow those worldly groups to continue to act as money-making tools for us.”
Without even thinking about it, Xiang Xu said casually and bluntly.
Hearing this, Li Nan couldn’t help but be staggered for a moment.
He thought to himself that the methods of this worldly gentry were really powerful enough, and that they were so comprehensive in their consideration of all aspects.
With such rules in place, I am afraid that for countless years to come, those ordinary people and groups in the secular world would not have any chance of turning over a new leaf.
They would always be nothing but wage earners under the worldly giants!
“What the Third Young Master said is correct, and the original intent of this rule is indeed the same. Moreover, among our Worldly Gentry, there is a jargon for such a rule, called ‘leaving fire’!”
Old Zhao, the butler, continued, “When the Shan Xing Consortium was divided up, the three of us also adhered to the same principle of keeping the fire burning, so after the Consortium was almost annexed, each of us tacitly agreed to call it quits. It was because of the fire left behind back then that the scale of the Shan Xing Consortium that we have today was later created.”
“Since then, the Shan Xing Consortium has been in the hands of the Liu family to develop. But now, if you continue to target the Liu family, you will be breaking the balance that you reached with the other two families and the Liu family. Have you thought about the consequences of this, Third Young Master?”
Old Zhao asked in a slightly lowered voice.
“sh*t, what consequences could there be! I’m not afraid of the Liu family, but as for the other two, what can they do to me?”
Xiang Xu said with a disdainful expression.
“The Liu Family is naturally not enough to be feared. The He family is about the same weight as our Xiang family, they hold a sixth of the shares of the Shan Xing Consortium, just like us, which is also okay. But you must not forget, Third Young Master, that apart from the Liu family and the He family, there is another family that exists ……”
There was something meaningful in Old Zhao’s voice.
Moreover, from his words, it was not difficult to hear that even he was extremely scornful of the existence of that other family.
Not only Old Zhao, but even Xiang Xu, after hearing Old Zhao’s reminder, suddenly realized something and his face couldn’t help but change slightly.
“You mean ……”
Xiang Xu fell into a deep thought.
“That’s right! One-half of the Shan Xing Consortium’s total a*sets are in their hands!”
Without waiting for Xiang Xu to say more, Old Zhao spoke directly.
“Moreover, back then, in the annexation of the Shan Xing Consortium, the other party was also the initiator as well as the finisher, and we and the He family were only going along with the situation. Moreover, according to the provisions of the agreement of our worldly gentry, the group that was annexed was supervised by the largest shareholder and supported to a certain extent by the largest shareholder. In other words, if the Third Young Master were to target the Liu family now, it would be tantamount to making an enemy of the other party who is the largest shareholder!”
“Of course with the other party’s vigour, it is naturally impossible to make an enemy of you, but if such a thing were known to the old master ……”
The old Zhao’s words ended here, but the meaning of his words had been expressed clearly, if Xiang Xu continued to target the Liu family, then the consequences for their Xiang family would definitely not be good, or at least it would affect the relationship between them and that other major shareholder.
This is definitely something that will not be worth the loss for the Xiang family!
At this moment, Li Nan was already surprised in his heart.
Originally, the energy of a single Xiang family was enough to make Li Nan marvel.
To be able to occupy one-sixth of the shares of the Shan Xing Consortium, this alone was enough to make the majority of people or families in this world look beyond their reach.
But now, another major shareholder had emerged!
Moreover, this major shareholder directly occupied one-half of the shares of the entire Shan Xing Consortium!
It was even more than the Xiang family and the He family put together!
Even the Xiang family and the He family, who were both worldly giants, had to be afraid of that major shareholder!
This kind of presence was simply too terrifying!
Even Li Nan couldn’t help but marvel in his heart at what kind of divinity this so-called major shareholder was!
And at this time, after hearing Old Zhao’s persuasion, Xiang Xu’s whole person was also in deep thought.
He was a bit impulsive at times, but he wasn’t stupid!
Although he was desperately throwing money at the shares of Huaxing Entertainment, he actually had other arrangements as well.
After he had pulled his rival to raise the price of Huaxing Entertainment’s shares, then he would finally take over Huaxing Entertainment, and finally after a series of manipulations by those traders who were a hundred times more professional than those on Wall Street, the stock of Huaxing Entertainment would finally be completely speculated!
At that time, Xiang Xu, as the owner of Huaxing Entertainment, will be able to get a much bigger return than his investment!
This requires a large amount of capital to operate, and even if ordinary people have such a mind, they cannot afford to operate such a plate.
Only someone like Xiang Xu, who had the money and guts, would be able to do this!
Previously, Li Nan only thought that Xiang Xu was playing crazy, but in fact, he was not!
In the entire Xiang family, there were many people who were qualified to compete for the position of heir, but the reason why this position of heir fell to Xiang Xu was entirely because of Xiang Xu himself.
Because since childhood, Xiang Xu had already shown his exceptional financial talent!
Moreover, his personality and temperament also gave him great camouflage.
After all, who would have thought that such an outwardly looking, gangly, gentry boy was actually a true financial genius?!
Regarding these matters of Huaxing Entertainment, Xiang Xu actually already had an arrangement in his heart, and was already following the path to get that rival to accompany him into the trap.
But now, after hearing what Old Zhao had said, Xiang Xu was caught in a dilemma.
Because Xiang Xu had just returned to the family not long ago, he had no idea about the matter of the major shareholder of the Shan Xing Consortium.
And now, because of this major shareholder, even Xiang Xu felt a bit difficult to make a decision…
