Chapter 1434: Wu Honglin is dead!

'Second Brother, Xia Yu is highly suspicious. You have been unconscious these past few days and don't know the situation, but news has already spread that it was Xia Yu who harmed you.'

'Where there's smoke, there's fire!'

'Rest assured and recuperate. I will hold things together for the family for now. Don't worry.'

Wu Honglin said with full concern, his words full of sincerity.

However.

Wu Hongyi gave him a flat look, then looked at some of the family members present, and said with all his strength, 'I'm not dead yet, and I'm still the head of the Wu family. I call the shots!'

'Cough cough...'

'Don't forget, I still have 14% of the shares in Huashang Bank, and no one can represent me!'

Hearing this, Wu Honglin clenched his teeth, his heart filled with hatred, but he could not show it, and could only force a forced smile.

The other Wu family members looked at each other, but in the face of Wu Hongyi's gaze, they still did not refute.

Even though Wu Hongyi was younger than them!

But over the years, Wu Hongyi's abilities have conquered them, and he has also established enough prestige, which cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.

'In a critical moment, the only one who can protect everyone is Xia Yu. You...huh...you must not doubt.'

After speaking to the Wu family, Wu Hongyi turned his head with difficulty and looked at Song Huigu, Ye Huanrong, and the others, panting.

After he finished speaking, it was as if he had used up all his strength. Fortunately, his eyes were still open, so as not to worry the others.

'Mr Wu Hongyi was forcibly stimulated with acupuncture by us to wake him up. He is currently weak and needs to rest.'

'I will prescribe some Chinese medicine to benefit the qi and nourish the blood. I also need someone to take me to a nearby Chinese medicine pharmacy to get the medicine.'

At this, Li Chunqiu stroked his white beard and said to the group.

'Okay, thank you, Doctor!'

...

'What did you say?'

'Wu Hongyi was saved by a Chinese medicine practitioner from Xiangjiang?'

'Or was he sent by Xia Yu?'

Within the Rothschild family, after hearing Evelyn Rothschild's description, Jacob Rothschild's brows furrowed, and he asked three questions in quick succession, showing that he was in a very bad mood.

'Yes, this is the situation Wu Honglin reported back.'

'After Wu Hongyi woke up, he emphasised his trust in Xia Yu, and Wu Honglin also immediately lost control of the Wu family.'

'It looks like our plan is going to fail!'

Evelyn Rothschild sighed in disappointment.

'No, we still have a slight chance!'

Jacob Rothschild's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke coldly.

'Continue to think of ways to get rid of Wu Hongyi, while also attacking the Chinese business consortium with all our strength!'

'I don't believe Xia Yu has the strength to protect Xiangjiang and the Chinese business consortium.'

'As for Wu Honglin...after this, his role has been greatly reduced, but it is still possible that he could play a key role. Continue to threaten him and get him to pass on the latest information.'

...

The conversation between Jacob Rothschild and Evelyn Rothschild could not be monitored by the network.

But Xia Yu guessed that the enemy would not let go, and he had long been prepared to deal with it.

And the awakening of Wu Hongyi also relieved Xia Yu of his worries.

He immediately ordered the network to find an opportunity to kill Wu Honglin as soon as possible.

At the same time, Xia Yu assigned Luo Xueyuan, the president of the European region of Jiuding Bank, to go to Huashang Bank to temporarily represent him on the board of directors and run for the position of chairman.

In addition, Luo Xueyuan was also required to act as Xia Yu's representative and liaison, enter Huajin Club, and be responsible for temporarily presiding over the work of Huajin Club.

In Huashang Bank, Luo Xueyuan was able to give full play to his abilities. After all, he had been the president of the European region of Jiuding Bank for many years, and his abilities were beyond doubt. He was also familiar with the situation in Europe.

What's more, the European headquarters of Huashang Bank is also located in the City of London. Jiuding Bank and Huashang Bank have had dealings with each other numerous times, so taking over the work of Huashang Bank is not likely to trigger a crisis of confidence.

However, in the Huajin Club, Luo Xueyuan only served as a tool and a mouthpiece.

The work of Jiuding Bank's European region was soon taken over by a deputy, and Luo Xueyuan directly entered Huashang Bank.

Hua Shang Bank is not a listed company, and all shareholders are in the UK. An extraordinary board meeting was held that evening to re-elect the chairman.

No surprise, Luo Xueyuan was elected unanimously as the new chairman, and also served as the president of Hua Shang Bank.

The election was actually very simple and didn't take much time.

After Luo Xueyuan was successfully elected, he received instructions from Xia Yu, and was confident enough to win people over.

'Thank you, fellow directors, for your trust and support. To show you that you have chosen the right person, I have a proposal to submit to the meeting for discussion.'

What a surprise!

Until now, Luo Xueyuan had never revealed what the proposal was.

'Luo... Chairman, what is the proposal?'

Director Wu Fuxiang asked curiously. He couldn't understand how Luo Xueyuan, who had not yet taken over the work and could not possibly know the situation of Huashang Bank very well, could come up with a proposal that was suitable for the bank.

'Director Wu, don't worry, this proposal is extremely important for our bank, and it can be considered a reassurance for everyone.'

'It was prepared in a hurry, and the proposal is relatively simple, so we'll just have to make do with it.'

After Luo Xueyuan finished speaking, he personally took a stack of documents from his briefcase and distributed them to both sides.

The person who got the proposal first asked in shock after just a moment of looking at it, 'Chairman, is this for real?'

'Are you sure it can be achieved?'

Song Huaigu also hurriedly asked, 'Yes, Jiuding Bank is fine, but after all, it is Mr Xia's bank.'

'But HSBC, Standard Chartered, Bahrain Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland, these four banks are all major British banks, all stronger than Huashang Bank, and they are also the core financial platforms of the Guangming Consortium. Can they really reach comprehensive strategic cooperation with these banks at once?'

'...'

The others also expressed their inner feelings of surprise and excitement.

Although the Chinese Business Consortium has been able to enter the ranks of the first-class consortia in the UK, due to the colour of their skin and their race, the pressure of competition is great, and they have only just barely entered the first-class camp.

But the Bright Consortium is different. This is a giant consortium in the UK and even in Europe, a proper super-first-class hegemonic consortium!

The Bright Consortium started out in the financial sector, and has extremely strong capabilities in the financial sector. Then, relying on its strong financial strength, it has continued to enter other fields and has a strong influence in all walks of life.

If Huashang Bank can reach a comprehensive strategic cooperation with the major banks under the Guangming consortium, then the crisis facing the Huashang consortium can definitely be resolved to a large extent.

In terms of the simplest and most direct effect.

Huashang Bank reaching a strategic partnership with Jiuding Bank, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Bahrain Bank and the Royal Bank of Scotland, and striving for more bank credit lines, can greatly enhance its ability to withstand risks, and also give the members of the Huashang consortium the confidence to reassure their own company's suppliers and prevent financial crises from occurring in each company.

With a strong financial chain to support them, even if the enemy wants to wage a price war, they will have to be prepared for long-term losses and a protracted battle.

'I wouldn't have put this proposal here without being certain.'

'What everyone thinks is impossible is possible for my boss, Mr Xia Yu.'

Luo Xueyuan said with a faint smile, not attributing the credit to himself, but putting Xia Yu in the limelight.

Song Huaigu and the others were silent when they heard this, and then they began to flatter Xia Yu, even though he was not there.

'Indeed, Director Xia is always very powerful.'

'Yes, without Director Xia, the Chinese business consortium could not have grown to its current size.'

'...'

Luo Xueyuan smiled helplessly.

'Okay, directors, let's get back to the topic. What do you think of this proposal?'

'Of course I agree.'

'I agree too!'

'We must support such a good thing!'

'...'

All the directors present expressed their support, and Luo Xueyuan's first proposal after taking office was passed unanimously!

'Good, then I will start working on it tomorrow, and I believe there will be results soon.'

'Everyone, just hold on a little longer, and continue to stabilise the company. We must let our enemies know that the Chinese Business Consortium is not weakening, but is actually stronger than ever!'

...

While Luo Xueyuan and Song Huaigu and the other directors of the Chinese Business Bank were holding an emergency board meeting overnight,

The Luo network had already found the right opportunity to mobilise.

That night, the frustrated Wu Honglin ran to a bar he owned to vent his emotions.

After he went to the toilet, someone from the Luo network who had stayed in the toilet in advance secretly killed him.

It wasn't until the two bodyguards waiting outside the toilet for a long time didn't see Wu Honglin that they pushed open the doors of the cubicles one after the other and discovered the already murdered Wu Honglin!

After the news was passed back to the Wu family, it shook again.

Evelyn Locher also learned of this shocking news shortly afterwards. Realising that something was amiss, he hurried to consult with Jacob Locher on a response.

In the hospital.

Even though it was already past ten o'clock, Wu Hongyi was still lying in the hospital bed, staring blankly at the photo of his wife in his hands, mourning the tragic death of his beloved wife.

At that moment, Li Hongchang, the old butler who had looked after him since childhood, suddenly hurriedly walked in.

'Master, something big has happened.'

'What is it?'

'Second Master Wu Honglin is dead!'

'What? !'

'Wu Honglin is dead?'
