Chapter 499: line with translation of chapter title

Yang Qing is very confident.

"Nothing is impossible.

Harmony Record is already exhausted, and many debts will soon mature.

Qi Dezun again offended Hui Feng and the foreigners.

"We have a lot of room to operate."

After Yang Qing said that, Wang Lin and Lin Cong became excited.

This is swallowing Harmony Record, something that has never happened in history.

And they can participate in it.

"Director Yang, tell us, what should we do?"

They clenched their fists, ready to go all out.

Yang Qing set up the Harmony Record company relationship diagram.

"For now, Whampoa Dockyard is our most promising target to exploit, a place we can break through."

"Lin Cong, over the next year, you must continually absorb Whampoa Dockyard's shares without attracting attention."

"The shares absorbed must be held through offshore or shell companies, diversifying holdings, without exceeding the disclosure threshold."

"By the way, absorb some shares of Harmony Record International to set up an ambush."

"Once we have enough chips, we will launch a strong takeover of Harmony Record Whampoa."

"By waging a takeover battle with Harmony Record, we will drag down its entire system."

"Blow up their finances."

"When they shift their focus to Whampoa Dockyard, we will then strike Harmony Record International."

"This requires Hu Lianxi to lay out in Yinglian."

"Before we launch the Whampoa showdown, we must complete the plan to acquire Harmony Record International shares in Yinglian."

"As long as we have enough chips, we can lightning‑fast seize control of Harmony Record."

"Then, using the takeover battle for Whampoa Dockyard, we will seize control of Whampoa Dockyard."

Controlling Whampoa Dockyard and Harmony Record International amounts to indirectly controlling the entire Harmony Record conglomerate.

The plan is excellent and also feasible.

However, there is still a problem here.

"Director Yang, are you sure Hui Feng won't interfere?"

"After all, it's a foreign firm; logically they wouldn't just watch us swallow Harmony Record."

Yang Qing looked toward Wang Lin.

"This will depend on your execution."

Finally it was his turn; Wang Lin straightened his posture.

"Director Yang, tell me what to do, and I will certainly do it."

"Make good use of this land‑grabbing turmoil."

"Let those Chinese merchants supported by HSBC ruthlessly bleed HSBC."

"Land prices are cheap now, but compared to before, they have become much more expensive."

"Comparable plots are none below a hundred million."

"To support Mai Lihao's public housing plan."

"The land sold by the Hong Kong government cannot be lacking."

"Enough to make HSBC bleed."

"By then, facing a half‑dead Harmony Record, I don't believe they would dare fully support Harmony Record."

"If they dare, then give Harmony Record to them."

"Let's see if they can handle Harmony Record's pile of bad debts."

"A thoroughly rotten Harmony Record, and Whampoa Dockyard, which we will have taken a majority of shares to enter the board and sway decisions."

"Let's see how much value remains."

"If we can't get it, we'll smash it to pieces."

Wang Lin immediately understood Yang Qing's meaning.

"I understand, Director Yang; I know what to do."

"It's just a pity about those land parcels."

Yang Qing comforted.

"Not a pity; the truly good land is the large tracts held by Whampoa Dockyard and Kowloon Warehouse."

"Not only cheap, but the area is also large."

Wang Lin reminded.

"Mr. Yang, these are industrial lands; changing their use requires approval from the Hong Kong government."

Yang Qing, however, is not worried about these.

"When you have enough influence, the Hong Kong government will also obey."

"What Harmony Record cannot accomplish, we can."

"Isn't Qi Dezun aiming to become the uncrowned king of Hong Kong Island?"

"That goal, he cannot achieve; Yang Qing will soon realize it."

Those people from the Capital Gate Club, following Yang Qing, have made a lot of money, and their holdings in Hong Kong Island keep growing.

Moreover, with mainland support, their competitiveness is also strong.

It has already begun to affect many aspects of Gangdao.

Although the organization is loose, in ten years its influence will be everywhere.

"Once we have power, everything will become much simpler."

"What we need to do now is expand our power."

After the plan was arranged, everyone went back to their own homes.

Gangdao looks calm on the surface, but underneath it's turbulent.

Jingcheng.

Bang Geng smoothly entered the Lai Steel Plant as he wished and became an honored worker.

Now an adult, his understanding of life has deepened.

A person without external wealth is not rich.

When a worker toils all day and earns little, it's faster to make money by dealing in contraband on the black market.

Ten years later, industrial production was affected, and various coupons gradually reappeared.

Industrial coupons, bicycle coupons—trading them can make money.

The steel plant also has many good things; occasionally pilfering some and taking them to the black market yields money.

Anyway, there are many ways to make money.

The least profitable thing is going to work.

With this realization, when he goes to work he becomes more absent‑minded; if he can slack off, he does, otherwise he just goes through the motions.

Yi Zhonghai saw it but said nothing; he was about to retire and didn't want to bother.

At home his two daughters are very well‑behaved.

No need to make a fuss.

Over the years there have been too many schemes against people, and he too has been frightened.

He no longer plays any tricks.

He fears that if someone brings up old scores, they might pin a random charge on him and target him.

He just wants to stay out of trouble.

He Yuzhu's mental pressure is also growing.

The closer Yi Zhonghai gets to retirement, the greater his pressure becomes.

Should we still carry out the plan?

Over time, He Yuzhu's kind‑hearted nature resurfaced.

He finds it hard to act.

Xu Damao has both sons and daughters, his family is happy, and he gradually forgot about Yi Zhonghai's affair.

With no one urging him, He Yuzhu's desire for revenge has weakened.

But letting Yi Zhonghai go like this, he cannot get past the knot in his own heart.

He knows how vicious Yi Zhonghai's scheming was back then.

For someone like that, death by a thousand cuts would not be excessive.

Unable to decide, he decided to go home and consult his sister.

After all, most of this money is He Yushui's child‑support funds.

In the siheyuan, He Yushui was at home looking after the children.

There are two 【children】 at home, and another one in her belly.

He Yuzhu's adopted son has already been born.

He is called He Jiale.

He is her second son.

The one in her belly belongs to the Liu family.

Since He Yushui gave birth, the second aunt has been coming over to her place more often.

Why, she can't say; she just suddenly found He Yushui pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the eldest brother's wife, she finds her displeasing.

Living under the same roof, conflict between mother‑in‑law and daughter‑in‑law is inevitable.

But she and He Yushui have none.

When she comes, He Yushui is very courteous to her and doesn't order her around.

If there's something tasty, he'll invite her to eat together.

Not like the eldest brother's household, where they hide good things so she can't see them.

The house is only this big—do you think I don't know?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

The eldest brother, in order to get promoted, even hid it from the family and reported Guangfu for relocation to the countryside.

For this, Guang Tian beat him severely.

All I can say is that he deserved it.

How could she not have realized before that the eldest brother is such a worthless person?

That's your younger brother, and you're screwing him over like this.

It broke the family's heart, and also broke her old mother's heart.
