Chapter 209: Buying the Electric Light Company

On this day, He Yuzhu brought his personal assistant to bid at the auction of the power company. He knew that Li Ka-shing of the future would definitely appear here today, and he also wanted to see the true face of Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong, when he was young.

In the auction hall, the bright lights could not conceal the tense and solemn atmosphere.

Under the tall dome, everyone's eyes were focused on the auction table illuminated by spotlights.

He Yuzhu was wearing a well-cut, straight suit, and every line seemed to speak of his calmness and confidence.

He stood there quietly, his expression as calm as water, his eyes fixed firmly on the auction table, as if all his hopes and future were carried on it.

His personal assistant stood respectfully by his side, holding documents and notebooks tightly in his hands. The documents were filled with important information and he was ready to provide He Yuzhu with the most accurate information and the most appropriate advice at any time.

His competitor, Li Jiacheng, was also dressed in a suit. His pure black high-end custom suit was worn straight on his body, with every line just right, showing low-key luxury and elegance. The exquisite tie and white shirt complemented each other, highlighting his calm and restrained temperament.

Li Jiacheng sat there like this, with a strong aura but not ostentatious.

Beside him stood a row of assistants also in black suits, all of them full of energy and imposing.

As expected of the richest man in Hong Kong in later generations, Li Ka-shing really had a strong aura at that time.

Compared with him, He Yuzhu is obviously not a little bit inferior.

When the auctioneer walked onto the stage with steady steps and cleared his throat gently, the sound was particularly clear in the silent auction room.

Then, he began to introduce the situation of the Hong Kong Electric Company in detail, from the company's long history to its current operating conditions, from its huge asset scale to its broad market prospects, every detail was narrated by him.

He also explained the auction rules clearly, as if he had established a strict set of rules for the fierce competition that was about to unfold.

He Yuzhu listened carefully to every detail, his focused expression as if he was listening to the guidance of fate.

His brain was working rapidly, and he was secretly calculating his bidding strategy in his mind. Every number and every possibility kept emerging and being deduced in his mind.

Following the auctioneer's powerful "Begin bidding", the scene suddenly fell into silence.

The silence seemed like the calm before a storm, making people feel an invisible pressure.

After a while, someone finally broke the silence and offered 20 billion. He Yuzhu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of thought flashed in his deep eyes.

He was not in a hurry to bid because he knew very well that this was just the beginning and the real competition was yet to come.

He is like a calm hunter, patiently waiting for the best opportunity.

The price continued to rise amid everyone's expectations, and the number quickly exceeded 25 billion like a dancing flame.

At this time, He Yuzhu calmly raised the sign in his hand and bid 26 billion. His bid caused a commotion at the scene, and everyone turned their eyes to him, their eyes full of surprise, curiosity and admiration.

He Yuzhu remained calm, his expression as firm as a sculpture, because he knew that his opponent would not give up easily.

Sure enough, Li Jiacheng's representative quickly offered 27 billion. He Yuzhu raised his sign again without hesitation and offered 28 billion.

The price went back and forth between the two of them, constantly rising.

Every bid was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples and making the atmosphere more tense.

Everyone's heartbeats seemed to speed up with the constantly beating numbers. They watched this fierce competition nervously, as if they were watching a thrilling battle.

When the price reached 29, the atmosphere became more tense.

This is exactly the price that Li Jiacheng paid for the Hong Kong Electric Company in the last century. Everyone is wondering whether the auction will end here.

There was a tension in the air, like a string about to break.

Everyone is waiting for the next bid and the final outcome of this battle.

However, He Yuzhu had no intention of stopping.

He raised his sign again and offered 30 billion. The whole audience was shocked when he announced the price.

The exclamations and discussions of the crowd intertwined like a surging wave. Li Jiacheng's representatives fell into deep thought. They had urgent communication with their assistants in the back, and their nervous expressions seemed to be making a decision concerning life and death.

After a moment, Li Ka-shing's representative shook his head and indicated that he would give up bidding.

The hammer in the auctioneer's hand fell heavily, and the crisp sound was like a horn of victory, announcing that the Hong Kong Electric Company was successfully won by He Yuzhu at a price of 30 billion.

A feeling of victory surged in He Yuzhu's heart, and that joy was like a surging tide, instantly filling his heart.

He also knew that many years later, he would really replace Li Jiacheng as the richest man in Hong Kong.

He stood up and nodded slightly to the people around him. His graceful movements revealed a kingly demeanor.

Then he calmly left the auction house with his personal assistant.

On the way back, He Yuzhu sat quietly in the car, looking at the passing scenery outside the window, thinking about future development plans.

He knew that his action would cause a stir and have a significant impact on Hong Kong's business landscape.

But he was not afraid, because he believed that as long as he stuck to his beliefs and strategies, he would be able to create even more brilliant achievements.

There was a determination gleam in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to a future full of infinite possibilities.

When He Yuzhu actually bought the electric light company for 30 billion yuan, Song Bojian and Shen Jihuan were shocked. They rushed to He Yuzhu's villa to persuade him to give up.

"Zhu Zi, you've almost spent all your 100 billion! Stop it, investing is not fun.

You dare to take over the electric light company that Li Jiacheng doesn't want. Are you crazy? And you have no money left after you spent the 100 billion yuan that the deaf old lady earned from selling antiques and calligraphy. What are you going to do in the future?" Song Bojian hurried over to persuade her.

"Brother Zhuzi, how come you decided on such a big matter so quickly? You didn't even come to me, Brother Song, for advice..." Shen Jihuan said anxiously.

"..." He Yuzhu was speechless.

I thought to myself, I should wait for you two to come up with some ideas for me. Today, the electric light and cigarettes have long been owned by Li Jiacheng.

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, looked at Song Bojian and Shen Jihuan, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry. I know what I am doing. This Xiangjiang Electric Light Company is a piece of fat meat. Although it seems very risky now, I am confident that it will play a huge value in the future."
