Chapter 374: The Storm Arises

Shunfa Securities, a mid-sized securities company in Hong Kong, owned by the small local Sun family, was led by the most outstanding young generation of the family—Sun Fa.

In the past, at 3 PM, Shunfa Securities would be at its busiest, with the senior executives having almost no time to relax.

But today was different!

Whether it was President Sun Fa or the investment managers and other senior staff, they all temporarily set aside their tasks and gathered in the company's conference room.

In the front of the conference room, a large television was set up, and everyone was focused on the screen, afraid of missing even a second.

"They're here!"

Someone muttered, and then the screen with the logo of Li TV shifted to show an outdoor podium.

Soon, Bao Yugang, looking impressive, appeared on stage. He walked confidently to the center of the podium and took his seat. His son-in-law, Wu Guangzheng, sat firmly on his left, with other senior executives from Global International Group also taking their seats.

"Welcome, friends, to our company's press conference. Thank you for coming!"

"Clap, clap, clap..."

After Bao Yugang finished his thank-you speech, a wave of enthusiastic applause erupted in the room.

"I know everyone is busy, so I won't waste time with small talk. Let's get to the point. I'm here to announce an important news, and then we will open the floor for questions. Thank you!"

After saying this, Bao Yugang's expression became very serious as he slowly spoke.

"I announce that our company now holds a 42% stake in E-Zhong Airlines Service Co., Ltd., officially becoming the largest shareholder!"

"And, we have just made a takeover bid for E-Zhong Airlines Service Co., Ltd.!"

"Wow!"

As soon as Bao Yugang finished speaking, the room erupted in shock. Everyone was stunned.

Not only the reporters on-site but also Sun Fa and others watching on TV were wide-eyed, clearly impacted by this news!

Could it be that shipping tycoon Bao Yugang, after acquiring the E-He Air Cargo Company, is now aiming to take over E-Zhong Airlines Service Co., Ltd.?

Is he determined to move from the seas to the skies?

"Mr. Bao, when did you start preparing for this acquisition…"

"Mr. Bao, what role does Stock God Xia Yu play in this acquisition?"

"Mr. Bao…"

After the initial shock, the scene turned chaotic, with reporters raising their microphones and scrambling for the first interview with Bao Yugang.

Before Bao Yugang's press conference ended, the TV screen switched again to reveal Li Jiacheng.

Then, it switched once more to show Zheng Yutong.

...

After watching a series of press conferences, Shunfa Securities' conference room was surprisingly quiet; even the sound of a pin dropping would have been noticeable.

*Gulp!*

Suddenly, someone swallowed, and the originally small sound became particularly loud in the current quiet environment.

This sudden noise broke the silence.

"This is serious. A group of big shots is attacking the E-He Consortium!"

President Sun Fa uttered with a complex expression, but his fists were unconsciously clenched, and he felt an inexplicable excitement.

It seemed like a surge of blood?

"For decades, have we Chinese ever been so bold? The big shots are impressive!"

"Yes, yes, who would have thought that Hong Kong's top consortium would one day be besieged, and its downfall so apparent!"

Other senior executives immediately started expressing their thoughts, their blood boiling even as they watched TV!

"President, there are many opportunities. The E-He Consortium will definitely collapse. Should we also fish in troubled waters?"

At this moment, an investment manager suddenly spoke.

Sun Fa's gaze sharpened, and everyone immediately fell silent, their eyes fixed on President Sun Fa.

Indeed, as the investment manager said, Xia Yu's continuous competition with the E-He Consortium had already stirred up a muddied stock market.

Now, with eight other Chinese tycoons joining the fray, the already turbulent waters became even more chaotic, with the stock market suddenly full of uncertainties.

Uncertainty means opportunities and profits. As long as one is sharp-eyed and daring, becoming rich overnight is not a dream!

Scanning the faces of all the senior executives, Sun Fa's gaze unconsciously turned to the TV screen, where Xia Yu's figure appeared. He clenched his fists.

"He is young but dominates the financial market and has become a renowned Stock God. His ability is one thing, but his fighting spirit is significant.

I am still young; how can I be outdone by him?

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Taking a risk, there is definitely a chance to make a fortune!

Let's do it!"

Determined, a fierce look flashed in Sun Fa's eyes. He abruptly stood up and decisively said, "Everyone, get moving. Look for opportunities. We must go for a big win and at least take a bite!"

"Understood!"

The senior executives shouted in unison, all energized as they began to act under Sun Fa's leadership.

A similar scene was not only happening at Shunfa Securities but also at other financial institutions.

In the financial industry, everyone is talented, especially those leading financial institutions, who are all elites and understand how significant this opportunity is.

Although there are risks, the potential rewards are much greater than usual. As long as one seizes the opportunity, making a big profit is absolutely possible. They all believe in their abilities!

The seven big shots' press conferences instantly created a Category 12 tornado, stirring up enormous waves in the stock market and business world!

**Macau, Aoyu Group, President's Office.**

The TV screen in front of him continued to change, but He Hongshen sat in his chair, silent. A closer look would reveal that his attention was clearly not on the TV screen; he seemed lost in thought.

He Youguang sat on the sofa beside him, his gaze shifting between the TV and his father, He Hongshen. When he saw Xia Yu's figure on the screen, his face showed a complex expression—shock, relief, admiration… all mixed together.

After a long time, with a sigh, He Hongshen snapped back to reality, mumbling to himself, "Huo Yingdong? Xia Yu? When did they become involved together?"

Hearing He Hongshen's muttering, He Youguang was taken aback, unable to stop his brow from furrowing, his expression even more complex.

He could sense his father's displeasure and gloom, and understood why.

The deep-seated grudge between He Hongshen and Huo Yingdong, stemming from the rivalry in Macau's gambling industry, was not something that could be explained easily.

Moreover, Xia Yu's relationship with the He family was complicated. His sister, He Zhaoqiong, was still infatuated with Xia Yu, and their father, He Hongshen, was also holding onto the idea of binding Xia Yu, not having let go of it.

Now, suddenly seeing Huo Yingdong and Xia Yu working together, with Xia Yu helping Huo Yingdong acquire companies from the E-He Consortium, it was evident that they had a deep mutual interest.

This made the relationships among the three families tangled and complex, causing He Hongshen to be furious.

Even He Youguang felt troubled, sighing for Xia Yu's entanglements and feeling pessimistic about his sister's future.
