Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

1978, Superman Li was not the richest Chinese person. 1978, Hollywood was still dominated by the Big Eight studios. 1978, Apple had not yet been bitten by the divine. This was the best of times, with technology on the rise and opportunities everywhere. This was the worst of times, where profit reigned supreme and capital was king. This was an era of chaos, where dragons and snakes danced wildly, and heroes emerged. The story begins in a small fishing village in Hong Kong in 1978... A young fisherman named Xia Yu, born on a rainy day, stood atop a mountain and made a solemn vow: "A true man should either eat from the nine cauldrons in life, or be cooked in them in death! In this life, I shall become a tycoon!!!"

Chapter 1211: Buy a big toy and give it to a beautiful person

'...Boss, that's everything that happened that night.'

In Xia Yu's villa, Junpei Hinata, who had been full of energy before Deng Takeshita's arrival, now bowed his head and told Xia Yu everything that had happened.

After listening, Xia Yu gave Junpei Hinata a positive commendation after a moment's thought: 'Very good work.'

'From now on, you will be in charge of directly liaising with Takeuchi. You must report to me immediately on all his requests and circumstances. Do you understand?'

Hiyori obediently replied, 'Yes!'

...

After Hiyori left, Xia Yu told the Luo network to continue to keep a close eye on Hiyori and Takeuchi.

After all, Junpei Hirata is different from Yu Matsumoto. He was forced to join, and Junpei Hirata is also the second largest shareholder of Nomura Securities, so Xia Yu still needs to conduct a period of undercover investigation on Junpei Hirata.

From the time of laying out the Nomura Securities Company before, Xia Yu has asked the people of Luo Wang to keep an eye on Junpei Hirata, and they have not let up until now, and Junpei Hirata has never noticed.

Perhaps after a year or half a year, when he is completely sure that Junpei Hinata has no rebellious thoughts, Xia Yu will lift the surveillance on him.

After that, Xia Yu continued to devote himself to work.

With the current industry, it is simply unrealistic to create a consortium in the island country.

Although Wang Qi and Matsumoto Yu are now working together on a hunting plan for large enterprises in the island country that are not within the scope of the six major consortia, Xia Yu has not been idle either.

His vast memory is his greatest asset, and he must make full use of it to uncover the gold that is still covered in dust!

This gold, given the right cultivation, will be the core pillar of his island consortium in the future!

...

Just as Xia Yu was focusing on the island, another major event occurred in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, on behalf of the Hong Kong government, adjusted the exchange rate policy of the Hong Kong dollar.

From 15 April, the Hong Kong dollar was pegged to the US dollar at an exchange rate of 6.10 Hong Kong dollars per US dollar, and this peg was implemented through a rigorous and stable currency issuance system.

At the same time, the Hong Kong government announced that it would increase its US dollar reserves to ensure the stability of the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate.

Once this policy was announced, there was jubilation throughout Hong Kong, with the capital markets reacting most strongly, with the stock market and futures market soaring.

This policy has unlocked a chain of events in the Hong Kong capital market, and added a thick protective cover, giving the Hong Kong capital market a favourable environment for growth and development.

Many international capitals have made adjustments, using Hong Kong as a pool of funds, which has caused the US dollar foreign exchange holdings of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's foreign exchange management fund to rise continuously.

After learning about this situation, Xia Yu expressed his affirmation and praise for Zhou Shanwen, the director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, through the mouth of Fok Kin-ning, which greatly encouraged the latter.

Because of the implementation of this policy, Xia Yu had wanted to go back to Xiangjiang.

However, Elena, whom he had not seen for a long time, said that she would come to Tokyo, so Xia Yu of course stayed in Tokyo to avoid disappointing his beloved Elena.

Due to the time difference, Elena arrived in Tokyo at a little after 5:40 in the morning.

At this time of year, the sky is still grey at this time of day.

However, Xia Yu was already waiting for Elena at the airport.

'Xia Yu!'

Elena, dressed in a pale gold princess dress and accompanied by two capable female bodyguards, came out of the arrivals gate. After looking around for a moment, she saw Xia Yu, surrounded by people and wearing sunglasses.

She beamed with joy, held her skirt up, and ran happily towards Xia Yu.

Xia Yu hurriedly quickened his pace and sprinted towards Elena, embraced her tightly in his arms, and in an instant, was filled with the warmth and softness of her body.

'Xia Yu, I've missed you so much!'

'Irina, I'm sorry I haven't been to see you in London for so long,'

Xia Yu said apologetically in her ear as he held her close.

Irina was immersed in Xia Yu's embrace and breath, and her tone still revealed her joy: 'It doesn't matter, I know you're very busy, you don't have time to come to London, so I'll come to you, doesn't the result end up being the same?'

Xia Yu was touched, and he tightened his grip on Irina's hand, pulling her even closer into his arms.

Elena's smile grew sweeter as she felt Xia Yu's change in emotions.

After a long while, Elena reluctantly left Xia Yu's embrace.

However, the two's hands remained tightly joined.

Xia Yu then had time to quietly observe Elena, and upon seeing her, Xia Yu couldn't help but frown.

Elena immediately became nervous and hurriedly said, 'Xia Yu, is there something wrong with me?'

Xia Yu stroked Elena's pretty face and said with some concern, 'You've been sitting for more than ten hours on the plane, back and forth. It's been too hard for you, even in first class. Look, you're showing signs of fatigue on your face.'

It turns out that he was just worried about himself!

Elena smiled, shook her head lightly, and said nonchalantly, 'I'm just not awake yet, and I haven't adjusted to the time difference yet. I'll be fine after a good night's rest and some adjustment.'

'That's not the problem!'

Xia Yu shook his head and said, pausing for a moment before speaking decisively.

'I've decided, I want to give you a gift!'

Elena's eyes lit up as she looked expectantly at Xia Yu, curiously asking, 'Xia Yu, what is the gift?'

Xia Yu scratched her delicate nose and said mysteriously, 'You'll find out in a few days, it's definitely going to be a big surprise!'

When Xia Yu said this, Elena's anticipation grew.

Although she couldn't wait to find out, she resisted her curiosity and blinked her beautiful big eyes, whispering, 'I'll look forward to it then, hehe!'

'Haha...'

'Let's go, let's go back first. I have a house in Tokyo. You need to have some breakfast and get some rest.'

Xia Yu was amused by Elena's cute and adorable appearance. After he had laughed, he took Elena's hand and walked towards the outside.

When they arrived at the airport waiting area, a row of black Rolls-Royces were neatly lined up there. After the bodyguard opened the door, Xia Yu and Elena got into the same car.

Then, the motorcade drove away from Tokyo Haneda International Airport.

That day, Xia Yu didn't go anywhere and stayed at home with Elena.

Elena, whose biological clock had not yet adjusted, was not suitable for going out and was prone to physical and mental fatigue.

While Xia Yu stayed at home with Elena to let her rest, Boeing immediately assembled its best team to fly to Tokyo as soon as possible after receiving the news. The team was led by Rudolph Martin, Boeing's executive vice president.

Not only that, they also used the time in the air to discuss and deliberate, literally racing against the clock!

This shows just how much Boeing values Xia Yu.

After arriving in Tokyo, Rudolph Martin and the others rested for the night, and then the next morning, they formally visited Xia Yu's home.

When Rudolph Martin and the others arrived, Xia Yu and Elena were leisurely watering the flowers in the garden.

Seeing the bodyguards lead Rudolph Martin and the others to the front door, he put down the watering can and smiled as he watched the smiling Rudolph Martin and the others quickly approach.

Rudolph Martin had seen the company's photos of Xia Yu before coming, and he had tried his best to imprint Xia Yu's image in his mind on the way, so he recognised Xia Yu at first glance.

'Hello, Mr Xia, I'm Rudolph Martin, Vice President of Boeing. The company has sent me to say hello to you. Here's my business card. It's a pleasure to meet you!'

He said, and immediately handed Xia Yu a business card in both hands, with a warm smile on his face.

After Xia Yu took the business card, he shook Rudolf Martin's hand with his right hand and said with a smile, 'President Martin, welcome!'

Then Rudolf Martin introduced the members he brought one by one to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu greeted them all with a smile.

However, it was obvious that the people Rudolf Martin brought were very humble, showing a high degree of respect for Xia Yu.

'This is my beloved, Elena!'

After they had got to know each other, Xia Yu introduced Elena, who was standing quietly next to him, to Rudolf Martin and the others.

The title that Xia Yu used to introduce Elena to the others filled Elena with joy.

However, as Rudolf Martin and the others were present, she could only maintain her composure and not embarrass Xia Yu.

'Dear Ms. Elena, you are like a princess in a fairy tale, and only Mr. Xia can be worthy of such a noble lady as you!'

Rudolf Martin's very smooth praise made Xia Yu and Elena's impression of him much better.

'Thank you!'

Elena smiled and nodded in thanks, exuding a noble and elegant temperament from the inside out, making Rudolf Martin secretly wonder if this temperament could really be that of a princess from any country...

'President Martin, let's go inside and talk!'

After saying this, Xia Yu took Elena's arm and led Rudolph Martin and the others into the house.

After sitting down, the maid made tea and brewed coffee. After a flurry of activity, they got down to business.

Rudolph Martin took an exquisite atlas from his assistant, handed it to Xia Yu with both hands, and said, 'Mr. Xia, after receiving the news from your subordinate, our company attached the utmost importance to it. We originally planned for the president to come in person, but since he is still in Europe on business discussing an important cooperation, I will lead the team to serve you.'

'This is an atlas of all the current models of our Boeing company. You can take a look, and then we will answer any questions you may have based on your comments.'

'Okay,'

Xia Yu said with a smile, took the catalogue, placed it on his knees and opened it.

What came into view was a table of contents with all the Boeing models, from the Boeing 707 series to the Boeing 767 series.

Xia Yu knew a lot about Boeing aircraft. He owned an airline himself and had previously ordered quite a few Boeing aircraft.

So he had a certain understanding of Boeing's various series.

He skipped directly over the 707 series, 717 series, 727 series and 737 series, and turned to the page corresponding to the Boeing 747 series.

There are also several models of the Boeing 747, namely the oldest Boeing 747-B, followed by the Boeing 747-100, Boeing 747-200, and Boeing 747-300.

Among them, the Boeing 747-200 is the model that Xia Yu's company bought quite a few of.

According to the introduction in the picture album, the Boeing 747-300 is the latest model, an improved version of the Boeing 747-200. Its design and manufacture began on 12 June 1980, and it made its official maiden flight in October 1982.

There are actually quite a few of these tables. The 747-300 model extends the upper passenger cabin by 7.11 metres on the basis of the 747-200 model, adds an additional cabin door, increases the number of upper deck passengers from 32 to 69, adds upper deck portholes, and replaces the original spiral staircase with a straight staircase. The maximum cruise speed has increased from M0.84 to M0.85.

And just last month, on 7 March, it received the FAA type certificate.

Xia Yu then flipped downwards to look at the Boeing 757 series.

To be precise, the Boeing 757 cannot be called a series at the moment, because there is currently only one model.

The Boeing 757 is a twin-engine narrow-body medium-to-long-range transport aircraft manufactured by Boeing. Development began in March 1979, and the first Boeing 757 made its maiden flight in February 1982. It obtained its airworthiness certificate in December of the same year and was put into airline operation.

Finally, there is the Boeing 767 model, which also only has one model, and is also a twin-engine, semi-wide-body medium-to-long-range transport aircraft.

After turning the photo album to the end, Xia Yu turned back to the Boeing 747 series and turned to the Boeing 747-200 model and the Boeing 747-300 model respectively, and asked Elena intimately, 'Elena, which of these two aircraft do you like better?'

Elena was dumbfounded by Xia Yu's sudden question, and looked at Xia Yu, who was looking at her with adoring eyes, with wide eyes, and an incredulous thought rose in her heart.

She couldn't believe it, and subconsciously asked, 'Xa Yu, why are you asking me?'

Xa Yu smiled and said gently, 'This is the gift I told you about two days ago. Of course I want you to like it.'

'I don't want to see you work so hard on the plane again.'

Elena's heart was instantly filled with emotion, and she covered her mouth, her eyes filling with tears.

'Xayu, it's actually not necessary, an airplane is too expensive...'

Before Elena could finish, Xayu interrupted her directly and forcefully, looking at her with a firm gaze and saying softly, 'If I can't let the people I love improve their lives when I make money, then what's the point of making more money?'

Elena could no longer hold back her emotions, and tears of emotion flowed down her face. She threw herself into Xia Yu's arms and murmured, 'Xia Yu, thank you, this is the biggest surprise of my life, I will never forget it.'

Xia Yu stroked Elena's hair lightly, his face full of a smile.

And watching this scene, Rudolf Martin and the others were all heartbroken by this dog food, but they did not dare to show it in the slightest.

Even Rudolf Martin had to put on an expression of envy and blessing.

There was no way he could hold back in the face of Xia Yu's wealth.

After a long while, Elena suppressed her excitement at wanting to kiss Xia Yu, calmed down, and a little embarrassed, took the tissue from Xia Yu's hand to dry her tears.

'I'm sorry, I've lost my temper a bit,'

Elena apologetically said to Rudolph Martin and the others.

Rudolph Martin immediately shook his head and said, 'How could that be, Ms. Elena? It seems to me that your smile is the most beautiful at this time!'

'Thank you!'

'Elena, take a look. Which of these two planes do you like?'

Xia Yu said to Elena with a smile.
