After some negotiations, the Su family and HSBC reached a settlement.
For the Su family, although those things were lost, it didn't actually have a significant impact on them.
The main reason is that although the items stored inside are family heirlooms, they haven't affected the foundation of the family.
The Su family's businesses are all publicly available. As long as they don't sell them, no one can take them away. The documents and books stored in the safe are basically all backed up. After so many years in business, they naturally have this kind of experience.
Even bank safe deposit boxes aren't always foolproof. Being prepared is always the safest approach.
The old man of the Su family was so assertive before, just to show his attitude.
But he himself was also very clear that compared with the real leaders of HSBC, the Su family was nothing, so he had to be careful and know when to stop.
Both parties reached an agreement that from now on, the Su family would not mention the safe deposit box again. In return, the Su family's development in Hong Kong would receive certain support from HSBC, including loans and various preferential policies.
They were quite confident in the Su family's HSBC business, after all, they knew very well that in this day and age in Hong Kong, going against HSBC in the financial and economic fields was basically tantamount to suicide.
If the Su family wants to continue doing business and survive here, bowing down is inevitable, and it will benefit both sides.
Thus, what was originally a crisis for HSBC was resolved smoothly.
Luo Zixi had no objection to the outcome. She had already obtained what was in the safe, and she couldn't be bothered with anything else.
Now she is preparing for another big event: she has been gradually accumulating Wharf Holdings shares through traders and by distributing them to accounts.
Shen Bi had clearly realized what Luo Zixi was up to, but he had received a warning from the masked man in black robes, instructing him to help Luo Zixi conceal the matter and assist her in acquiring more shares of Wharf Holdings!
Upon receiving this instruction, Chen Bi's heart skipped a beat.
What exactly is this masked, black-robed man up to?
Wharf Holdings' stock price has now fallen to rock bottom, and now is definitely a good time to buy at the bottom. Just how much capital does the other party have?
In fact, he was well aware of the amount of money Luo Zixi had invested.
He also said at the time, "When did this naive young girl come along and dare to meddle in Hong Kong's still underdeveloped stock market? This foolish, rich, and arrogant young girl will probably be swallowed up and left with nothing but ashes in the end."
He later discovered that the other person actually had powerful connections!
And it's the really hard kind...
At this moment, Chen Bi felt that the masked man in black robes was incredibly powerful and might even be the legendary thief who had turned the cherry blossoms upside down.
He dared not offend such a powerful figure; the other party could easily come to his side and take his life with a wave of his hand! He simply could not afford to offend such an invincible being.
Therefore, what he needs to do next is to cooperate with Luo Zixi to acquire more Wharf Holdings shares.
As a result, Luo Zixi's shareholding gradually approached that of Jardine Matheson, the largest shareholder of Wharf Holdings...
Upon seeing this result, Luo Zixi couldn't help but reveal a confident smile.
"Li Ka-shing, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to steal your opportunity this time. We'll probably have to meet in the business world then."
There is also a Li Ka-shing in this world, and in the original storyline, Su Wanwan even joined forces with Li Ka-shing to rebuild the business district of Hong Kong.
However, all of this is no longer a concern for Luo Zixi, who has abundant funds.
If she's going to do something big, she'll do it on a grand scale, making the entire port city her territory!
To prevent so many shady characters from causing trouble behind the scenes in the future, Luo Zixi thought that those inhuman bastards in Hong Kong in later years had made this place a mess, and she felt that they should be punished properly!
Her immediate priority is to gradually penetrate all sectors of the port city, laying a solid foundation so that she can have the final say here in the future!
While doing all this, Luo Zixi did not forget to closely monitor Su Wanwan and the mysterious organization.
They had their eyes on the treasures in the Su family's safe before, but now that Luo Zixi has gotten her hands on them, she doesn't know what these treasures are for. However, it's good that she has them in her own hands!
Even if something is useless to us, we must hold onto it tightly if the enemy values it!
Moreover, Luo Zixi recently discovered that the members of that mysterious organization have begun to be active more frequently.
What the other party really wants to do is self-evident.
However, it seems unlikely that they will be able to find Luo Zixi.
Watching them search aimlessly like headless flies, Luo Zixi couldn't help but feel secretly smug. Let them keep busy for a while.
At this time, Su Wanwan was also in a state of constant anxiety, trapped in her own residence with no chance to go out.
After all, she hadn't been cleared of suspicion yet, and those guys were keeping a close eye on her.
While everything was proceeding smoothly in the port city, some changes were also occurring at Crescent Moon Mountain. The people sent by Luo Qingfeng, Luo Zixi's uncle, had finally retreated after several fruitless visits.
Before leaving, he left behind a letter from Luo Qingfeng:
“Lolo, I know you’re angry with our family, and maybe it’s also because your uncle didn’t come to see you in person.”
