Chapter 1474
Su Chengfeng understood very well in his heart.
At present, the only person who can stop that mysterious expert is his granddaughter, Su Zhiyu.
He said to Su Anshun and Old He, "If Zhiyu is willing to put in a good word for me, she will definitely be able to make that person give up or delay the idea of hunting me down..."
Su Anshun nodded repeatedly and said, "I imagine that mysterious person must have deep feelings for the eldest young lady, otherwise he wouldn't have chased her from Japan to Jin Ling to protect her. If the eldest young lady can really put in a good word for you, perhaps she can really turn a big problem into a small one, and a small one into nothing..."
Su Chengfeng sighed and said, "I can't beat him and I can't hide from him; the only way left is to beg for mercy..."
Old He couldn't help but ask, "Master, I also know Miss Zhiyu's personality relatively well; I'm afraid she won't be so easy to talk to about this matter, right?"
"Indeed..." Su Chengfeng said with great depression, "This girl has a huge appetite. Regarding the press conference before, in order to make her shut up, I gave her the entire ocean shipping group. If I have to beg her again this time, I don't know what kind of demands she will make..."
Speaking of this, Su Chengfeng muttered with a cold expression, "The reason I gave her the ocean shipping group was to see if she could revitalize that business. If she can't revitalize it, it makes no difference whether it dies in her hands or mine. But if she can revitalize it, I will sooner or later take this business back with interest. But if she still wants my other businesses, I absolutely cannot cut any more flesh..."
Su Anshun said, "Master, why don't you make a phone call first to sound out the eldest young lady?"
"Hmm!" Su Chengfeng nodded and said, "I will call her right now. Oh, by the way, Anshun, I asked you to secretly keep an eye on her recent actions; do you know what she has been doing these past two days?"
Su Anshun hurriedly said, "Master, the eldest young lady went to the Buckingham Hotel today."
"What?!" Su Chengfeng frowned and asked sternly, "What? Could it be that she is going to talk about cooperation with the Ye family?"
Su Anshun explained, "It's not talking about cooperation with the Ye family, but with Ito Takehiko. You know, Ito Takehiko is currently staying at the Buckingham."
Su Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "I almost forgot about this. Shoudao went missing at the Buckingham just because he wanted to find an opportunity to see Ito Takehiko. Now that Zhiyu has run over to see him, will Ito Takehiko pay any attention to her?"
Su Anshun nodded and said, "According to the news sent back by my people, after the eldest young lady went to the Buckingham, she was picked up in the hotel lobby by Ito Takehiko's sister, Ito Emi."
"What?!" Su Chengfeng asked in surprise, "Ito Takehiko agreed to see her?"
Su Anshun then said, "My people followed her and saw that the eldest young lady did indeed enter Ito Takehiko's room."
Su Chengfeng couldn't help but be somewhat stunned, and then couldn't help but sigh, "Ever since the three major families in Tokyo fought and the Ito family won it all, even when our ocean shipping group was not punished, Ito Takehiko was unwilling to cooperate with us. Shoudao, as the eldest son of the Su family and the successor of the Su family in the eyes of outsiders, couldn't even get Ito Takehiko to meet him once. I didn't expect Zhiyu to actually do it!"
Su Anshun nodded and said, "The eldest young lady is naturally intelligent, and her eloquence is by no means comparable to that of ordinary young people. Moreover, she now completely owns the Su family's ocean shipping group. Perhaps Ito Takehiko can reach a cooperation with her under her persuasion."
Su Chengfeng said with some joy, "If that's really the case, the ocean shipping business might be revitalized. It seems Zhiyu really has some skill."
As he spoke, he immediately picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Su Zhiyu. The content of the message was: "Zhiyu, please call your grandfather back when it is convenient."
Seeing this message, Su Zhiyu immediately told Ye Chen and asked him at the same time, "Mr. Ye, should I call him back now?"
Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Call him back, let's see what he says."
Su Zhiyu hurriedly dialed Su Chengfeng's number.
The call was connected quickly.
Su Chengfeng asked with feigned concern on the other end of the phone, "Zhiyu, how have you been these past few days? Have you encountered any problems that you need grandfather's help with?"
Su Zhiyu said in a lukewarm tone, "I've been fine recently, trying to find a way to revitalize the ocean shipping business. I appreciate your good intentions, but there's no need for help."
Su Chengfeng sighed and said with immense guilt, "Grandfather hasn't been able to eat or sleep these past two days. Not only do I feel full of guilt towards you and your mother, but I have also been thinking about how to compensate you two. It just so happens that Anshun talked to me about the Maldives today, so I thought about giving you the island that our Su family reserved in the Maldives, so that you and your mother can go there to rest and relax."
Although islands in the Maldives are expensive, they are not extremely valuable. The island developed by the Su family only cost tens of millions of US dollars to purchase the usage rights for one hundred years from the Maldivian government. However, what is truly expensive is the development and construction of the island.
An island not only needs a complete set of architectural solutions but also needs to be equipped with a large amount of luxury decoration, and must have a complete set of hardware facilities such as a pier, helipad, and satellite communications, and even have the ability to generate electricity independently and desalinate seawater.
Therefore, after the full set of construction, the Su family invested nearly 3 billion RMB one after another.
Originally, Su Chengfeng regarded that island as his earthly paradise for enjoying his old age in the future, so he spared no cost for it.
If he really had to give it to Su Zhiyu, he would naturally be extremely reluctant.
However, he was just saying it to gain some favor in his granddaughter's heart first.
According to his understanding of Su Zhiyu, he felt that it was impossible for Su Zhiyu to want his island.
First of all, Su Zhiyu must be putting all her heart into the ocean shipping business now; she definitely wouldn't be interested in going to the Maldives.
Secondly, her mother, Du Haiqing, probably hates him to the core now; Du Haiqing definitely wouldn't agree to go to his island for vacation and relaxation.
Sure enough.
As soon as Su Zhiyu heard him say these words, she couldn't help but frown.
She is not stupid either.
She knew that there was at least ninety percent hypocrisy in her grandfather's words.
Besides, she wasn't interested in some damn Maldivian island at all!
Su Zhiyu was just about to refuse when she saw Ye Chen wink at her, signaling her to agree.
So, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Then thank you so much, Grandfather. Please trouble Grandfather to have Steward Su bring the island's property rights documents to Jin Ling another day. Once the property rights are transferred to my name, I will find time to take my mother there to relax."
As soon as Su Chengfeng heard this, he immediately felt a strong pain in his heart.
He thought to himself, "I was just being polite, why did you actually agree? You are young, what do you need an island for retirement for? If you take it away, what will I do in the future? I can't just develop another one from scratch, can I?"
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Zhiyu, the island's property rights documents need to be transferred locally in the Maldives, which is relatively troublesome. However, you and your mother can go there to rest first."
Su Zhiyu went with the flow and said, "That's just right, I'll handle the property transfer while I'm there."
As she spoke, Su Zhiyu added, "Grandfather, you also know that my mother definitely has some opinions about you. If that island were in your name, she definitely wouldn't go, but it would be different if it were in my name."
Su Chengfeng could only say sullenly, "You are right, it was grandfather who didn't consider it carefully. Since that's the case, whenever you have time to go, I will let Anshun go too, to handle the procedures..."
As he spoke, Su Chengfeng hurriedly added, "By the way, Zhiyu, grandfather has something else I would like to ask for your help with this time..."
Su Zhiyu said, "Go ahead."
Su Chengfeng hurriedly said, "It's like this, that benefactor of yours called me just now. He might have some misunderstanding about me, and the conversation on the phone didn't seem very pleasant, so grandfather would like to ask you to help mediate with him, so that we can mind our own business in the future. Do you think that's okay?"
