As Husband Yong got older, he had the habit of going to bed early. He was woken up by bodyguard Ah Quan just after ten o'clock before he fell asleep.

"Uncle Yong, this is Xu Shixun." Ah Quan whispered.

Hu Yong reacted for a moment, sat up and said, "Give me the phone."

After picking up the phone, the two of them did not exchange greetings. Xu Shixun on the other end of the phone told the story of how he and Ye Fang turned against each other. Finally, he hoped that Hu Yong could send a capable person over, whether it was to scare or threaten, in short, as long as Ye Fang takes the initiative You can just quit. As for the price, Hu Yong can set it as he pleases.

After hearing Xu Shixun's description, Hu Xiyong was gloomy for a moment. Ye Fang came to Xiangjiang, and this guy didn't even say he came to see me, but he went to provoke the Xu family? What happened in the middle! Hu Shiyong and Xu Shixun had a honeymoon period many years ago. The Xu family once acted as the financial backers behind 14K and gave Hu Hu Yong a lot of financial support, because Hu Hu Yong owed Xu Shixun a favor.

But for Hu Xiuyong, it was simply impossible for him to deal with Ye Fang. However, it was inappropriate for him to rashly agree to Xu Shixun before he understood the reason. Naturally, he could not refuse.

Finally, Hu Yong sighed and said, "I can go and meet this person. After meeting him, no matter whether things succeed or fail, we will be clean between you and me."

"You want to go out in person? That's great, okay! It's all up to you!" Xu Shixun was very happy when he heard that Hu Yong was going to go out in person. He originally thought that Hu Yong would send some leader of the society to scare Ye Fang, but he didn't expect that He actually wanted to take action himself. As long as Hu Yong goes, the matter will basically be settled. Xu Shixun does not believe that Ye Fang will not give Hu Yong face.

deep water bay.

When Lu Jiaming and Ye Fang reported on the recent trading situation and were about to leave, Lu Jiuge came in and reported that someone was visiting outside but did not give his name. He was an old man.

"It's so late, who could it be?" Ye Fang nodded and said, "Invite him in. There will be no peace tonight. Let everyone be more energetic."

When Hu Xiuyong came in, Ye Fang was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked over quickly, saying with a smile, "Just give me a call and I'll come over. It's so late at night that I need you to make a trip."

"You didn't even tell me when you came back. Why, are you so afraid of dealing with a bad old man like me?" Hu Xiuyong patiently chatted with Ye Fang, raised his head and glanced at Lu Jiaming who was standing, and asked, " Who is this little friend?"

"My name is Lu Jiaming, hello, old gentleman." Lu Jiaming didn't know Hu Yong at all, and when he saw Ye Fang, he didn't introduce him, so he just greeted him politely.

Beard Yong nodded and muttered "Okay, okay." Then he sat on the sofa with Ye Fang's support. Seeing this, Lu Jiaming was about to resign and leave but was stopped by Beard Yong. "Don't leave in a hurry. Sit down and chat with the old man and me."

Hearing what Hu Xiuyong said, Ye Fang was slightly startled. He didn't know what Xiu Xiuyong meant by leaving Lu Jiaming, so he winked at Lu Jiaming, and then Lu Jiaming sat down beside him politely. Lu Jiaming could tell that Hu Xiyong and Ye Fang were very familiar with each other. The two people talked more like they had been friends for years. Ye Fang's words were very casual but always maintained due respect. This made Lu Jiaming want to know what was happening in front of him. Who is the old man?

"Old man, you must have something to do when you come so late. If you have anything, please give me instructions." After the two exchanged greetings, Ye Fang asked directly.

Beard Yong sighed lightly and said directly, "There was a period of unresolved cause and effect when I was young, and now it comes to your door. I came here today to give an explanation to the other party, not to put pressure on you. You have your own considerations." I will respect it, can you understand what I mean?"

"Uncle Yong, I understand, please tell me." Ye Fang probably guessed the purpose of Hu Yong's visit from what he just said.

Then Hu Shiyong told Ye Fang about Xu Shixun's request to him. Ye Fang smiled and nodded, thinking that it was really about Xu Shixun's affairs.

"Old man, if I say no, will it affect your status in the world?" Ye Fang asked back.

Beard Yong smiled and said, "I just said that my visit late at night today is just to give the other party an explanation. You can say no. At my age, I have already seen through the false name. I am now settling the cause and effect of the past." "

Ye Fang nodded solemnly and said, "Then I'll be relieved."

Afterwards, Hu Xiuyong chatted with Ye Fang about some trivial Jianghu matters. Lu Jiaming heard the clouds and fog swirling around him. After about 10 minutes, Xiu Huiyong said goodbye. What surprised Lu Jiaming was that this time, for the first time, Ye Fang kept sending Hu Yong to the car, which could be said to have given Hu Yong enough face.

"Boss, did you reject him just now? How can I tell?" Lu Jiaming asked.

Ye Fang nodded and said, "You don't have to say it clearly, just point it out."

Lu Jiaming thoughtfully recalled the conversation between Ye Fang and Ye Fang just now, and then asked, "Boss, who is this old man?"

"He." Ye Fang smiled and said, "Hushi Yong, have you heard of him? The only remaining veteran figure in 14K."

"Huzi Yong?! He is Huzi Yong!" Lu Jiaming heard the legends about him in the streets and alleys when he was a child. He thought that he was already dead, but he didn't expect that he would appear in front of him today, and I also chatted with myself for a few days.

"Let's go, you can stay at my place tonight. I'll have someone take you to the company tomorrow morning." Ye Fang knew that tonight would still be uneasy. Although Lu Jiaming was not a critical step, it would be very troublesome if Xu Shixun took the risk. . At this time, Ye Fang still had many things for Lu Jiaming to handle, so he might as well just let him live in his place.

"Okay, boss." Lu Jiaming bowed and replied.

Beard Yong, who left Ye Fang's Deepwater Bay villa at this time, did not show any displeasure on his face, but said, "How did this Xu Shixun offend Ye Fang? Why did Ye Fang insist on killing the Xu family?"

"Uncle Yong, what's going on with Xu Shixun?" bodyguard Ah Quan asked.

"You can do whatever you want to do, and ask all the people in Liangjiang 14K not to accept this order from Xu Shixun. Anyone who dares to accept it privately will be taken care of by the family law!" Hu Xiuyong said solemnly.

"Yes."

"Any association in Liangjiang that dares to accept the Xu family's order means that it is the enemy of 14K!" Hu Ziyong said.

"Yes, I will convey it immediately."

Soon Xu Shixun received a call from his bodyguard A Quan. Xu Shixun was so angry that he froze in place for a long time and was speechless. Ye Fang didn't even sell Husband Yong's face? !

Xu Shixun was so angry that he picked up the phone again and called Xin Ngee'an's housekeeper Lin Kexia directly. When Lin Kexia learned that Xu Shixun asked Xin Ngee'an to come forward to deal with Ye Fang, his first reaction was not to consider whether to agree to Xu Shixun's request, but to directly say something He said excitedly, "Ye Fang has returned to Xiangjiang? I have to tell the boss about this. Oh, by the way! Boss Xu, we Xin Ngee'an can't help you with this. I believe that no one in all the societies in Liangjiang dares to help you." , because whoever dares to deal with Ye Fang is an enemy of Xin Yi’an!”

After saying that, Link Xia hung up Xu Shixun's call. Xu Shixun looked confused again and yelled, "What is going on? Who is this Ye Fang? Neither 14K nor Xin Ngee An dare to provoke him!"

"Is Ye Fang also a boss of some society?" Thinking of this, Xu Shixun suddenly thought of someone who might know the details of Ye Fang, that is the chief superintendent of O Ji, Zeng Weixiong.

Thinking of this, Xu Shixun didn't care whether Zeng Weixiong was sleeping or not, so he took out his phone and dialed. Zeng Weixiong who was accustomed to going to bed early on the phone was immediately woken up by Xu Shixun.

For the boss of a wealthy family like Xu Shixun, Zeng Weixiong is absolutely unwilling to offend. After all, the Xu family's enterprises use charity donations to improve funds for police prisons or other facilities every year, so internal senior officials are not willing to offend these. The wealthy chaebols are also extremely polite.

After the two exchanged a few words, Xu Shixun asked Zeng Weixiong for news about Ye Fang. As soon as he heard Ye Fang's name, Zeng Weixiong immediately became energetic and asked directly, "Is he back?"

When Xu Shixun heard what Zeng Weixiong said, he thought to himself, how could he be talking like Link Xia?

Zeng Weixiong patiently listened to the conflict between Xu Shixun and Ye Fang. He also understood in his heart that Xu Shixun was here to find out the details of Ye Fang with him, but his intuition told Zeng Weixiong that he should not get involved in this matter. On the one hand, it was because his official status was not suitable for him to get involved in business struggles and he would easily be targeted by ICAC. On the other hand, it was also because he did not know what the dispute between Ye Fang and the Xu family was. Fang knew that he would never launch a war against the Xu family for no reason.

"Dr. Xu, I really can't reveal too much about Ye Fang's background. I just want to tell you that it's better to resolve enemies than to end them, especially with Ye Fang. I still know Ye Fang, and he will never do it without reason. To deal with the Xu family, I advise you that instead of wasting your time on these meaningless things, you should have a frank chat with Ye Fang, maybe you can find a way to break the situation."

Zeng Weixiong's words made Xu Shixun deep in thought. Neither the black nor the black forces supported him in starting a war with Ye Fang. Was he really going in the wrong direction? Xu Shixun thought to himself.

"The problem is that there is really no one who can talk to me in the middle." Xu Shixun felt that his head was getting big when he thought that there would be another day of trading tomorrow.

"You can find a reason to apply for a one-day trading suspension. Plus two days on the weekend, it will be enough for you to deal with. I will also find time to visit Ye Fang in these two days and help you find out the news." Zeng Weixiong said directly .

Hearing what Zeng Weixiong said, Xu Shixun thanked him repeatedly. After hanging up the phone, Xu Shixun thought that he had not thought of this method to temporarily suspend trading, but it was a bit embarrassing for Xu Shixun. Once he applies for a trading suspension, it will inevitably arouse a lot of speculation from all parties. It is really not a wise idea for Xu's company, but the current situation does not allow him to worry too much about his own face.

"Master, where are we going now?" the driver asked.

"Go home and ask the young master's assistant to see me." Xu Shixun said solemnly.

The next day, China State Construction Enterprise Group's temporary trading suspension application was not approved by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Although it was a temporary application, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange considered that the subsequent impact of China State Construction Engineering Group's suspension would be too great, and the market would be closed with only one day left. Comprehensive Due to various factors, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange did not approve China State Construction Engineering Corporation's application for a trading suspension.

Xu Shixun had no choice but to mobilize funds for share repurchase, but Ye Fang still used large funds to fiercely raise funds. The two sides fought extremely fiercely. The share price of China State Construction Engineering Corporation only rose by 30.00% throughout the day, but both parties invested more than 100 billion. In the end, Ye Fang increased its holdings to less than 5.00% of the shares of Xu's enterprise. Xu Shixun's side was almost the same as Ye Fang's. It's the same situation.

This is just a drop in the bucket for Ye Fang, but for Xu Shixun, the capital chain has begun to tighten. After all, the stock market requires real money investment. Taking out 50 billion in cash at one time is already the limit for Xu Shixun. To mobilize cash, you need to continue to mortgage it with real estate or shares.

Faced with Ye Fang's menacing attack, Xu Shixun felt unprecedented pressure. As a last resort, Xu Shixun asked Xiangjiang's "four major families" for help.

The "four major families" in Hong Kong are the Li Ka-shing family, the Lee Shau Kee family, the Cheng Yu Tung family, and the Kwok Desheng family. These four families all started their careers in the real estate industry and basically monopolize 70.00% of the real estate business in Hong Kong. Xu Shixun also started his career in the real estate industry, and has since extended his career to other industries. He is known as the new wealthy family closest to the four major families.

The four major families all hold a certain number of shares in Xu's China Construction Enterprise Group. This mutual shareholding represents a kind of recognition and trust. Xu Shixun's cash flow was almost exhausted in one day. This surprised the four major families. However, Xu Shixun relied on his own lobbying to persuade the four major families to agree to increase their stake in Xu's China Construction Enterprise Group.

But the current situation is that there are very few shares held by retail investors of China State Construction Enterprise Group in the market, and they have basically been collected into the hands of various institutions. Even because of market rumors that China State Construction Enterprise Group will be acquired by Zhongrui Capital, many people have begun to He is reluctant to sell his shares, which will undoubtedly make it more difficult for the four major families to acquire Xu's shares.

Just when Xu Shixun and the four major families had just reached an agreement, Zhongrui Capital sent out a blockbuster news to the market. The content of the news was probably that Zhongrui Capital was preparing to spend HK$500 billion to acquire China Construction Enterprise Group. Anyone who wanted to transfer its holdings would Zhongrui Capital is willing to acquire shares of China Construction Enterprise Group at a high premium from institutions and individuals.

The official news content is enough to shock all walks of life in Hong Kong, and the private announcements are full of threats. Zhongrui Capital has told various capitals in Hong Kong through various channels that if anyone helps the Xu Shixun family increase their holdings of China Construction Enterprise Group, they will It means declaring war on Zhongrui Capital!

This blockbuster news directly shocked Liangjiang. That night, the four major families received a letter from Zhongrui Capital at the same time. The content of the letterhead showed that if the four major families increase their holdings of the Xu Group's shares on Monday, Zhongrui Capital will not hesitate to spend 500 billion. The Hong Kong dollar simultaneously drives up the stock prices of the core listed companies of the four major families!

"Ye Fang, are you crazy?" Xu Shixun shouted after learning the news.

At the same time, Ye Fang received a call from Haojiang He Chaoqiong.
