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 1294: The Mysterious Xia Yu

"Father, I do not recommend that you accept the invitation. If he wants to talk, he can come to the United States. Even if he doesn't come to Philadelphia, he can come to New York or another city.'

'Why does he have to invite you to Hong Kong?'

Woodrow frowned and preemptively questioned.

Richard King Mellon maintained his smile and looked at his third son Leonard again.

Leonard was five years older and had a relatively more mature and stable mindset. He thought for a moment and said, 'Father, I have a doubt. Since Xia Yu dared to extend an invitation to you, it is because in his judgment, you are likely to accept the invitation.'

'Why is he so confident?'

'Does he have the strength and qualifications? Or is there any deep meaning behind the American capital structure and Canada mentioned in his invitation letter?'

Woodrow's face fell a little at this, and he hadn't considered this.

Richard King Mellon's expression of appreciation flickered.

He still didn't answer, but looked at his daughter Cindy and said with a smile, 'Cindy, you've been in contact with Xia Yu for a while, so tell your two brothers about him.'

Cindy gave a smile and nodded slightly, 'Okay.'

Then she pursed her lips slightly and recalled.

The three of them waited quietly.

After a long while, Cindy came back to her senses. Her bright eyes looked at her two serious brothers, and her soft, sweet voice rang out: 'I have been in contact with Xia Yu for a while, and he has made a very deep impression on me. It's the feeling of "you never know how many secrets he's hiding". Although I don't have the deepest understanding of him, I know that he is very capable.'

'Just like his hometown of Xiangjiang, it seems that you can feel the presence of his business empire at any time, as if it were his city.'

'His business is not limited to Hong Kong, but also has a strong influence in the UK, the US, the island countries and the mainland.'

'Although he never told me about his strength, I still remember that once we were chatting, we talked about the class problem in the world. He told us about the structure of the world's consortia. After that, I had a different understanding of the world. This understanding is related to what I was exposed to at home, but the understanding I had since childhood was more fragmented.'

'Through his narration, I felt that in his mind, there was a clear map of the world.'

'I still remember that when he mentioned the Rothschilds, the Morgans, the Rockefellers, and our family, he did so in such a calm and indifferent tone.'

At this, Cindy's mind once again conjured up that scene.

Xia Yu and the five girls were on the observation deck of the Peninsula Hotel, and Xia Yu was telling them about the world in a relaxed and indifferent tone. At that time, Xia Yu's smile was so calm and composed, his gaze was as deep as the starry sky, and the whole person seemed to be enveloped in a mysterious atmosphere.

At that time, she was stunned, and the scene of that night was deeply imprinted in her heart, and it is still as clear as if it were yesterday when she thinks about it.

Leonard and Woodrow both couldn't help but frown at their sister's narration.

Richard King Mellon's expression also became much more serious, and he said to his daughter Cindy, 'Cindy, you didn't tell your father this.'

Cindy blinked her eyes and asked back crisply, 'Dad, you didn't ask me either, and with the family's ability to gather information, I thought you knew.'

Richard King Mellon froze for a moment, and with a helpless smile, he shook his head slightly and sighed.

That's right, after meeting Xia Yu for the first time at a reception, he was the one who told his children about Xia Yu's background, so it's no wonder that his daughter would think that way.

But after hearing his daughter's description, Richard King Mellon realised that he didn't know enough about Xia Yu's power in detail.

Xia Yu was able to rise to the level he knew in just a few years. He was definitely an elite individual with great wisdom and means. With his power, he was also aware of the terrifying power of the major conglomerates. He never doubted that Xia Yu would be ignorant and arrogant.

In that case, if Xia Yu was still able to treat them as top-level conglomerates on an equal footing, then he must have enough backing.

With this judgment, Richard King Mellon associated it with other information and made a decision in his heart.

'Cindy, Daddy shouldn't have wrongly accused you, and I apologise,'

Richard King Mellon said kindly.

Cindy smiled and shook her head, saying, 'Daddy, it's me who didn't tell you in time.'

'I've decided to accept his invitation and go to Xiangjiang.'

As soon as Richard King Mellon said this, the expressions of his three children all changed.

Leonard said worriedly, 'Father, isn't this a bit risky?'

'Yes, Father, after all, the family's influence is weak there, and I've heard that the country in the East is very dangerous,' Woodrow also followed up with a word of persuasion.

Richard King Mellon smiled indifferently and said, 'Don't worry, the family has enough security forces, and there is no reason for him to endanger me, he will only do his best to protect my safety.'

Hearing what their father said, Leonard and Woodrow could only helplessly nod.

'Dad, I want to go with you. I get along well with Xia Yu, and I may be able to help,'

Cindy took the initiative to hold her father's hand at this time, looked at her father with big, expectant eyes, and asked.

Richard King Mellon looked at his daughter kindly, stroked her golden hair, and laughed, 'Okay, you can go with me.'

'And Leonard, Woodrow, you guys come with me too. See the world. Last time you only met Xia Yu once, this time you might have a different understanding.'

After saying this, a flash of light appeared in Richard King Mellon's eyes.

The Mellon financial group was at least one of the top five financial groups in the United States, and like Rockefeller and Morgan, it was the existence of a single family that was a financial group, so its energy was naturally unquestionable.

He had already noticed the gradually different situation in Canada, and the Rockefeller and Morgan financial groups had taken action again, and the United States had followed suit.

Xia Yu had mentioned two key points in the invitation letter, and he was curious as to what Xia Yu's plan was.

He wanted to take this opportunity to let his two sons see Xia Yu's vision for themselves, so as to accelerate their growth.

After all...he didn't know how many years he had left...

Richard King Mellon's heart was full of worry at the thought.

'Father, we won't let you down.'

'Dad, do you need to get in touch with Xia Yu? I have his personal phone number,'

Cindy volunteered.

Richard King Mellon said cheerfully, 'Then you can make the call first, and then I'll talk to him for a while.'

'Okay, I'll call him now,'

said Cindy, getting up and walking towards the phone by the closet.
