The Strongest Mad Son-in-law-Chapter 1447 - 1450: Planning Hongkong

Xiang Shang continued, "When we entered, we were in our senior year. After graduating, we parted ways, but we kept in touch. In the third year, Hachi from America died at home, with pus flowing from his head and ulcers on his feet. Less than three days later, I received news that Starr from Canada also died in the same way. At that time, I felt very uneasy about the situation.
Uzi from Tianzhu guessed the same as I did. The cause of their deaths might be due to entering the First Pyramid of Egypt. He immediately went to hide in the First Temple of Tianzhu Country. However, he didn't reveal his purpose there, only saying he was a faithful believer and even invited a highly respected monk from the First Temple of Tianzhu to live with him. Ostensibly he was there to seek knowledge, but despite all the precautions Uzi took, he still died.
When I learned of this, I was in a constant state of fear, worried that I might die the same way at any moment. But to my surprise, nothing has happened to me so far. However, I abandoned the idea of going abroad. I speculate that perhaps the power from Ancient Egypt cannot reach us here in Huaya."
Once Xiang Shang finished recounting everything, silence filled the room.
Xu Hao found that there was not much information about Ancient Egypt in the Inherited Memories. It only mentioned that it was a mysterious place with a different kind of power, referred to as the power of curses.
If cursed by the Curse Technique, one would suffer from various strange illnesses, or even die mysteriously, as Xiang Shang mentioned.
Xu Hao spoke, "What you said is not impossible. There are indeed mysterious aspects to Ancient Egypt, but their power cannot penetrate here to harm us."
"Why can't their power penetrate Huaya?" Qin Yao asked.
"Because Huaya is protected by powerful forces. This power seems special and can only be regarded as mysterious energy, but it cannot prevent foreign invasions with conventional weaponry," Xu Hao explained.
He looked at Xiang Shang, whose face was hopeful, and said, "In light of the information you've provided, I'll let you go, but you can no longer reside in Hongkong. Go to Taiwan."
Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, Xiang Shang was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Young Master Xu, for your great kindness. Xiang Shang will never forget it!"
After saying this, he immediately left.
Qin Yao pursed her lips and said, "I always thought he was very spirited because he kept mocking us, but it turns out he's just a coward."
Xu Hao laughed, "If one can survive, who would choose to die? I don't want to die either."
"Does the secret he mentioned have any value?" Qin Yao asked.
"It's still valuable. The fact that there are living people from Ancient Egypt in the tomb of the First Pyramid, isn't that explosive news? Once I'm done with current affairs, I need to visit there. I hope this information hasn't been leaked," Xu Hao said.
Qin Yao nodded slightly, but inside, she harbored a thought that she couldn't reveal to Xu Hao just yet.
When Xu Hao spread the news that he had unified the Top Ten Families of Hongkong, it caused a tremendous stir.
This is Hongkong, one of the Four Asian Tigers. Each of these prominent families has considerable power and is very proud, given that their development predates that of Huaya Continent by a long time.
Yet now, Xu Hao from Huaya Continent has managed to subdue all the Top Ten Families here!
Once the Top Ten Families are subdued, the smaller forces will have no choice but to obey Xu Hao's commands since they largely rely on the Top Ten Families for survival.
Now in Hongkong's business world, everything is decided by Xu Hao!
The next day, inside a lavish villa's hall on Jiuwan Island, Hongkong, Xu Hao gathered all the family heads of the Top Ten Families to discuss the future development direction of Hongkong.
When everyone was present, Xu Hao said, "As one of the Four Asian Tigers, Hongkong developed from a small fishing village into the Far East's international financial, trade, maritime, tourism, and information center, achieving remarkable economic feats.
Hongkong's economic characteristics lie in free competition and self-regulation. Laissez-faire is Hongkong's most significant economic trait. The market regulation relies entirely on the invisible hand of the market mechanism, playing a major role in the economic development and coordination of the entire society here.
To maintain close economic ties with the outside world, Hongkong practices a policy of free trade, free industrial development, free enterprise, free business, free pricing, and free flow of foreign exchange and gold. In Hongkong, goods can be freely imported and exported without import-export control, with tax applied only to some items like tobacco and alcohol, while others are duty-free. This has played a huge role in Hongkong's economic development.
However, everything has its pros and cons. Hongkong's highly open outward-looking economy is highly susceptible to changes and influences from external environments, which is the main issue of Hongkong's economy."
