Chapter 1361: Overwhelming Power

In recent years, in order to allow for rapid economic development in Hong Kong, the issue of public security has become particularly prominent. However, in this regard, it falls within the scope of government functions, and Xia Yu has mostly offered opinions and let the Hong Kong government do it.

And Su Xingjian did not disappoint Xia Yu.

In recent years, the Hong Kong government has been increasingly strict in managing the law and order issues in Hong Kong, and financial support for the Police Force has also been rolling upwards.

At the same time, Xia Yu will also let some companies donate to the Police Force.

This has enabled the Hong Kong Police Force to make a qualitative leap in terms of both its personnel and equipment.

Consequently, the living and development environment in Hong Kong has been greatly optimised.

No matter how many people there are in the underworld, they can't escape the fact that they are thieves. Faced with the police department, the underworld is naturally in a weak position, unless they dare to rebel!

But obviously, the underworld simply doesn't dare to rebel.

Then they can only be constantly cracked down by the police department, and their strength is constantly reduced.

After entering June, the security measures in Xiangjiang have been taken to the next level.

In particular, the Hong Kong Police Force has formulated a one-and-a-half-month crackdown plan to strengthen patrols in all aspects, causing the Hong Kong underground to be on tenterhooks.

This is the gift Su Xingjian gave to Xia Yu.

Although Xia Yu's wedding was not held in Hong Kong, Hong Kong is the most important transit point, and Su Xingjian wants to ensure that Hong Kong is as safe as possible.

In fact, the leaders of the underground forces in Hong Kong have all received warnings and have instructed their subordinates not to cause trouble in the near future. Major events have been cancelled, and even major transactions have been moved to other places.

There is nothing they can do. For the leaders of the underground forces in Hong Kong, the police department still has to follow the law. Some old hands are not afraid of the police department and can always find someone to take the blame and have the money to post bail.

But if you really provoke the uncrowned king Xia Yu and offend him, you won't know how you'll die.

Therefore, after June, the people of Hong Kong found that the quality of life seemed to have improved again.

Compared to Hong Kong, the Maldives has stricter controls.

The Maldives has directly suspended the development of the tourism industry, and has the strictest measures ever for foreigners entering the country. The Maldives International Airport is even patrolled and guarded around the clock.

Meanwhile, openly, Xia Yu's Aegis Security has mobilised more than 1,000 people to enter the Maldives to cooperate with the Maldives army to maintain social order.

In secret, the Luo network has long since carried out all-round surveillance of the Maldives while also sweeping up dangerous elements hiding in the dark.

From 15 June onwards, private jets gradually began to arrive in Hong Kong, and the occupancy rates of Hong Kong's major luxury hotels began to rise.

...

June 23, 1985.

This day is the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, in the year of the Ox, in the twelfth lunar month, on the day of the Tenth of the Tenth, auspicious for marriage, obtaining a certificate, preparing the bed, praying for an heir, weddings, and consecration...

On this day, early in the morning, the guests at the six-star Marco Polo Hotel on the Paradise Island of the Maldives began to emerge.

This six-star hotel was fully constructed by Jiuding Infrastructure Limited starting in August last year.

Not only this hotel, but many islands in the Maldives, especially Xia Yu's private island, have been fully developed.

Just for today's wedding!

Around the docks of the paradise island and other islands where guests live, there are 60 to 70 RIVA small and medium-sized luxury yachts, which have also been produced at full capacity over the past eight months.

The most dazzling one is the super-large luxury yacht Serenity, which is anchored in the sea outside the island of Serenity.

This super-large luxury yacht is 155 metres long, the largest in the world, and is extremely well equipped, with huge dynamic spaces including floor-to-ceiling windows, an indoor swimming pool, two helipads and a spiral staircase. There is a double-storey beach club, a separate bar, two mini cinemas on the top floor, a gym and a garage!

In addition, the yacht Serenity has 24 guest rooms, can accommodate 48 guests, and is accompanied by a crew of 35, or 70 at full capacity.

This world's largest luxury yacht cost a whopping 38 million US dollars, which is more than the bare-bones cost of Xia Yu's Aeolus Boeing 747-300!

After the wedding, the guests can choose to go diving alone in the sea, hang out on the surface of the sea on small and medium-sized yachts, or just kick back and party on this super luxury yacht.

Time passed, and the guests gradually gathered on the quiet island.

Before the wedding began, the guests gathered in groups of two or three to chat, and the topic of conversation was, without exception, Xia Yu's wedding.

Unfortunately, before they arrived, many people were unsure which family Xia Yu was marrying into.

When they arrived, they were shocked to learn the truth.

It was not just the families, but also the identities of the women!

...

The mainland sent two representatives: Liu Zhihe from the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office and Wang Ping from the Xinhua News Agency.

After presenting their gifts and conveying the blessings from above to Xia Yu, they wasted no time in gathering together to observe the guests.

'President Wang, Mr Xia's unconventional approach to things is just as shocking!'

'The Howards of England, the Sumitomos of Japan, the Mellons of the United States – these are all top families in their respective countries, with immense power and influence.'

'The daughter of a duke, the granddaughter of the head of the Sumitomo family, and the daughter of the head of the Mellon family – any one of these women would be able to take a man to the top, and now they are all willing to marry Xia Yu together.'

'Compared to these three noble ladies, the other two are of much lower status,'

Liu Zhihe said with emotion.

Wang Ping nodded in agreement: 'It can be seen from this that Mr. Xia is indeed extraordinary. He is the strongest banner of the Chinese people in the world, and his strength is definitely not inferior to these old families.'

'It is a blessing for our Chinese nation to have a big shot like Mr. Xia!'

'But I just don't know what Mr. Xia is thinking about the next generation.'

At this, Wang Ping could not help but feel a little worried.

There was only one person with purely Chinese blood, and that was Li Qian, and she had the least status and background...

'President Wang, let's not talk about this. With Mr Xia's abilities, he definitely knows what he is doing.'

'Today, let's just watch and offer our blessings,'

Liu Zhihe quickly whispered.

Wang Ping also realised that he had said something inappropriate and quickly shut up.

...

'Mr Xia, President Reagan has asked me to extend his best wishes to you and your loved one, and to wish you both eternal happiness!'

...

'Mr Xia, President Mitterrand has asked me to apologise to you. He was unable to attend your wedding in person, so please accept his sincere best wishes and eternal happiness to you and your loved one!'

...

'Mr Xia, Prime Minister Margaret has asked me...'

...

This time, Xia Yu did not invite political dignitaries from various countries in order to avoid trouble. After all, no matter which one of them went out, it would be a huge undertaking, with at least two or three hundred people.

Moreover, the sensitive status of political dignitaries can easily be overinterpreted.

Xia Yu did not want to publicise his wedding, as evidenced by the ban on any media attending the wedding and the prohibition on taking photos in the vicinity.

Of course, these people could not be there in person, but they could still find ways to express their good wishes.

Not only were generous gifts prepared, but the closest people were also sent to represent them.

For example, the sons of Reagan, Mitterrand, and Bush Sr. and Jr. were all there.

When the guests arrived and learned that the heads of three of the Big Five had sent their trusted subordinates to offer their blessings, they were so shocked that they could have been described as 'shocked + 999'.

It was also at this moment that Xia Yu's friends, as well as some allies of the Southeast Asian consortium and the Yanhuang Club, deeply realised Xia Yu's immense power. They grew increasingly in awe of Xia Yu, and at the same time strengthened their resolve to cling to his coattails.

True big shot max!
