Chapter 777: I Will Never Give Up
The atmosphere in the reception room, which had just relaxed, became tense again.
Before Hua Yingxiong could speak, someone couldn't help but ask.
"What's going on? Has another fleet been plundered by pirates?"
The visitor was sweating profusely with anxiety: "That's not the case, but... we've received news from overseas that several of our fleets have been forcibly stopped at the port."
"It was the overseas branch of the Guan Gong Association that ordered us to stop!"
Hua Yingxiong slapped the armrest of the chair suddenly.
"What a bully, Falcon! Who gave him the guts to attack our fleet?"
The person who came to report the news had a sad face.
"If we really take action, it will be much easier! Then we can complain to the Guan Gong Association headquarters and even ask the Daxia authorities to intervene!"
"But they only restricted our fleet from leaving the port! The reason was that pirates were rampant outside, and they were responsible for the fleet's safety!"
"If we insist on leaving, they won't stop us. But if anything happens to our fleet outside, they won't be responsible!"
The Hua family paid a lot of "protection fees" to the Guan Gong Association every year.
If the rules are followed and the fleet is robbed by pirates, Guan Gong will also have to bear part of the responsibility and can compensate for some of the losses.
But now, the overseas branch is openly cheating.
They forced the Hua family's fleet to sign a waiver agreement.
If the fleet insists on leaving the port, Guan Gong will go to the overseas branch and will not bear any responsibility.
This is the threat of Chi Guoguo!
The implication is that as long as the fleet dares to leave the port, something will definitely happen.
But if we continue to stay at the port, the daily berthing fees are a small matter. The key is that many goods must be delivered on time.
Having violated the delivery agreement, the Hua family still had to pay a huge penalty.
At this time, Falcon's call came to Hua Yingxiong's cell phone.
Hua Yingxiong's face was gloomy and he answered the call in a bad mood.
"Falcon, what do you want?"
Falcon chuckled: "Master Hua, I'm doing this to be responsible for your fleet!"
"If a fleet is robbed, they have to pay a ransom of 50 billion, and then at least tens of billions more to compensate the cargo owners!"
"How can we safely let your fleet leave the port until the pirate issue is resolved?"
Hua Yingxiong laughed out of anger.
"So what you're saying is, if I don't agree to your terms, our Hua family's fleet won't be able to leave the port?"
"Otherwise, we will face continued attacks from pirates and be robbed again?"
Falcon laughed and said, "I didn't say that! I just offered you a solution. It's up to you whether you agree to it or not!"
"After all, we brothers in the overseas branch were also born and raised by our parents. Our lives are also precious!"
"Without sufficient benefits, who would be willing to risk their lives to negotiate with pirates?"
Hua Yingxiong took a deep breath, his face changing from gloomy to bright.
Falcon continued, "Xiuqiong is your granddaughter after all, and she also has the surname Hua! If you transfer the shares to her, you won't lose anything!"
"On the contrary, as long as you agree, I guarantee that your fleet will not encounter any danger overseas!"
"This is a win-win cooperation. Mr. Hua, why do you continue to be so stubborn?"
Without waiting for Falcon to finish speaking, Hua Yingxiong hung up the phone.
He glanced around with a cold gaze.
"What do you think?"
The atmosphere at the scene became lively again, and everyone spoke and expressed their opinions.
"I think what Falcon said makes sense! We won't lose anything if we agree to his terms!"
"That's right. Even if Zhang Ye can solve this problem, who can guarantee it won't happen again? We have to think long-term!"
"Overseas routes are our biggest economic pillar, and we absolutely cannot allow any crisis to occur! I also agree to Falcon's terms..."
A look of disappointment appeared on Hua Yingxiong's face.
Then he looked at Hua Yunfeng who had been silent.
"Yunfeng, tell me what you think!"
Hua Yunfeng shuddered all over.
He is indeed the most respected among the younger generation of the Hua family, but he is still too young after all.
It is usually not his turn to interfere in such important decisions.
Grandpa's sudden question at this time was a major test for him.
After a brief pause, Hua Yunfeng said in a deep voice, "I think our Hua family cannot agree to Falcon!"
As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar all around.
Hua Yingxiong waved his hand to shut everyone up and asked again.
"Tell me your reasons!"
Hua Yunfeng knew that he must have received the old man's approval, otherwise he would not have the chance to continue speaking.
He felt at ease and explained his reasons.
"First, give the shares to Hua Xiuqiong. Once there is a disagreement between the two sides, the Hua family will lose their absolute say in major decisions!"
"Secondly, if Falcon can threaten us once, he can threaten us a second time, a third time..."
"If the Hua family gives in so easily, they may be controlled by others forever!"
"The third point is also the most important one. We, the Hua family, have our own stance and will never be a fence-sitter, wavering!"
As soon as Hua Yunfeng finished speaking, Hua Yingxiong suddenly patted the armrest and stood up.
"You are a bunch of idiots, you can't see things as clearly as my grandson!"
"I, Hua Yingxiong, have always had a strong backbone. I will never bow to Falcon!"
"If you have any objections, pack up and get out now!"
Someone spoke weakly, "I understand that you don't want to be controlled by others, old man, but... we are indeed controlled by others now. The situation is stronger than us!"
Hua Yingxiong sneered repeatedly.
"Whoever dares to block my way and strangle me! Then don't blame me for fighting him to the death!"
