The Strongest Mad Son-in-law-Chapter 1448 - 1451: Uninvited Guest

"Overall, Hongkong is a city economy where external shocks often outweigh internal challenges. The economic development of Hongkong exhibits a very obvious 'butterfly effect'; any minor change from outside could stir up great waves in Hongkong, as seen from external factors.
Looking at internal factors, Hongkong has developed an economic structure centered on service and real estate industries over many years, which has certain constraints on economic vitality."
Xu Hao raised his hand to point at the data on the big screen and said, "Currently, four major industries support Hongkong's economy, namely financial services, trade and logistics, tourism, professional services, and industrial support services. These four industries have created approximately 1.78 million jobs in Hongkong, serving as the core driving force of Hongkong's economy.
However, Hongkong's premature departure from the real economy has led to a lack of new engines for economic development, and the economic growth rate has been declining in recent years. Nevertheless, Hongkong still possesses great potential, which depends on the companies from the Huaya Continent and other countries."
At this moment, the Patriarch of the Wu Family said, "Young Master Xu, do you mean to make our Hongkong industries rely on the Huaya Continent and foreign companies? Wouldn't that still mean depending on others?"
Xu Hao smiled slightly and said, "But what if those companies are all mine?"
"You... you mean you intend to..." The Patriarch of the Wu Family was instantly stunned, and the others were incredibly shocked. Xu Hao was truly daring to think big.
He actually intends to acquire so many companies?
How is that possible!
Xu Hao smiled and said, "Now that you're all insiders, I can share some things with you. I, Xu Hao, started in Jing'an City. After consolidating the various forces in Jing'an City, I also integrated the forces in Huadu. Although the forces in Tiannan are not entirely consolidated yet, many companies are willing to form a unified strategic partnership with our Xu Liu Group already.
Jiangnan Province and Miaojiang Province are the two provinces that our Xu Liu Group is currently focusing on developing. Without any accidents, within a week, 80% of the retail stores in these two provinces will be controlled by our Xu Liu Group."
"What?! Eighty percent? Young Master Xu, did you perhaps state an extra zero? Isn't it just eight percent?" said the Patriarch of the Wei family hastily.
He simply didn't believe Xu Hao's claim of eighty percent; that was absolutely impossible!
Those are retail stores across two provinces; how could Xu Hao alone seize eighty percent?
Is this a joke!
Xu Hao looked at the others and smiled, "And you? Is there anyone who believes it?"
Li Chengong stood up and said, "Young Master Xu, although I truly believe in your capabilities, and I wouldn't doubt it if you said you wanted to bring all the major forces in Jiangnan Province and Miaojiang Province under your control, retail stores are different from those major forces. They are very scattered, and acquiring eighty percent of them is too difficult. Also, I feel that acquiring those small retail stores and supermarkets would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive, wouldn't it?"
"No, someone is already helping me with it, and they are my enemies. Isn't that quite a coincidence?" Xu Hao smiled.
"Your enemies are helping you acquire those retail stores and supermarkets? This..." Li Chenggong was incredulous. How could this be possible?
Who would be foolish enough to help their enemy do things?
The people of the Wu family and other families also couldn't believe what Xu Hao said. Isn't this too surreal?
Xu Hao smiled, saying, "No need to doubt it; the outcome will be clear in a few days. What you need to do now is stabilize the current situation. There are many companies in the Huaya Continent that have not yet gone public. When they do, they only have a few options: Yanjing, Modu, or Hongkong. As long as you follow my orders, I will ensure that those companies choose to go public in Hongkong.
However, the future is uncertain. What if the family forces in Modu are more obedient? That will require you to strive. Moreover, Hongkong needs to attract more foreign investment, and I will have the group's people negotiate it. One confirmed point is that John Retail of America will heavily invest in Hongkong."
The Patriarch of the Wu Family asked, "Young Master Xu, how can you be so sure that John Retail will invest in Hongkong? In the past, when they conducted a site visit, they said that although Hongkong's economic development was very prosperous, it was too reliant on the service industry, which was unsuitable for their development, so they didn't invest here."
"That was before. In the future, Hongkong's economy will inevitably soar again, just as it did more than a hundred years ago!"
The attendees then engaged in detailed planning over the development issues of Hongkong.
...
After Xiang Shang and his wife left Hongkong, they went to Taiwan.
He carries a curse from the Ancient Egypt Country, which means he cannot leave the Huaya Continent; otherwise, he will surely die.
Taiwan is also an inseparable sacred part of the Huaya, which can block the power of the Ancient Egypt Country's curse.
However, as Xiang Shang took the ship from Hongkong to Taiwan, an uninvited guest silently entered his room.
