Chapter 553: The Lee Family Repurchasing Shares (Part One)
Haber finally took care of all of the aftermath of the incident, and then he immediately came over to look for Xu Cheng.
In a corner of the buffet restaurant in the hotel, Haber began complaining to Xu Cheng nonstop, “I know you did it. Do you know how busy I was? Our king spent 200 million on that cruise and now it’s useless, because all the members said they wouldn’t be attending any future events on that boat and want the king to prepare a new one.”
Xu Cheng sat with his legs crossed as he took a sip of his coffee. “What does that have to do with me? Why are you b-tching to me?”
Haber snorted, “I don’t know what method you used to kill those 200 soldiers, especially those on the bedroom floor, but they were simply brutal. When those guests tried to return to their rooms to sleep that night and saw those bodies on the floor, almost no one dared to go back to their rooms to sleep anymore. In the corridor, inside the rooms, there were dead bodies everywhere. No one knew how they just all died, and this incident will forever be remembered as the Black Night. If I didn’t know that this was done by you, I would be pretty scared too, thinking that the cruise was haunted or something. So, this ship didn’t even recoup its cost yet and it had already met the fate of being scrapped. How can the King not be depressed? He was still hoping that the rich tycoons from all over the world would come on vacation in Dubai, and make this place a heaven for the rich. But now, all the rich people have a fear for Dubai now, then how are we supposed to continue with our plan of inviting more and more investment over? I’ve spent all the hours after getting off the boat going around trying to appease those people that were on board. I’m too exhausted…”
“Blaming me?” Xu Cheng put down his coffee and said, “You told me to do my thing, and I already told you, I’m not that ‘grandiose’. Do you still not get what I mean by that?”
Haber smacked his lips, he just realized what it meant. He began huffing and puffing and complaining again, “So that’s what you facking meant by ‘not that grandiose’? Do things the most brutal and mysterious way and keep everyone in the dark?”
“Pretty much. I thought I just needed to save everyone,” Xu Cheng said.
Haber looked at Xu Cheng seriously and asked, “If I make it public, would I die?”
Xu Cheng looked at him like he was looking at an idiot and said, “Do you think anyone’s going to believe you? Aren’t you afraid that the merciless demon that did the good deed this time would come and find you after you try to expose him?”
Haber shivered. “That’s why I came to ask you. Are you going to kill me because I know too much?”
Xu Cheng: “Guess.”
Haber smacked his lips and said, “Let’s talk about the thing where you won that Bang Nation guy’s company’s shares.”
Xu Cheng: “He’s still not dead?”
Haber: “Pretty close to being dead now. His shares could easily put the Lee Family of the Three-Star Corporation in despair. The guy had been looking for you everywhere, hoping that you could show some mercy.”
Xu Cheng was very curious. “How would I show mercy? Give him back the shares for free in such a lowkey fashion? I don’t want to, I’m not an idiot. You can tell me more about Three-Star’s current situation.”
“The Bang Nation government intends to weaken the Lee Family’s control over Three-Star, but the head of the Lee Family still has the absolute percentage of control in the company. Now, the old head died, and his son hasn’t become capable enough, so the government sees it as the perfect opportunity to weaken the Lee Family’s control. After all, Three-Star is almost in charge of the lifeline of the Bang Nation’s economy, and the government wants it to be in their control. That brat wasn’t boasting last night, Three-Star is indeed a powerful company, but at this moment, every percent counts and losing one could mean losing absolute control of the company. You won 4% of the company’s shares instantly from him, how could they not be nervous? If this thing isn’t taken care of, that brat would probably be beaten to death by his family!”
Xu Cheng said indifferently, “Then just let him die.”
Haber bitterly smiled. “The senior execs at Three-Star directly came to me asking me for this favor, you don’t have to watch their attitude, but I can’t easily offend people since we should welcome all businesses. So, since they came to me to ask me to arrange a meeting for you to talk with them, then as a friend, just do me a favor and meet with them. As for what you want to do after you meet with them, I don’t care. How about that?”
Xu Cheng asked, “They are in Dubai already?”
