Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1587: Chapter 1337 ”Fearless” Bai Xiaosheng

The Hawk Family wants to resolve the Kelson crisis in exchange for cooperation with Bai Xiaosheng, which is not the posture of a normal partnership. It’s not the right path. Their intent to coerce is painfully obvious!

Bai Xiaosheng weighed the pros and cons and agreed at the time.

Although his decision was driven by maximizing profits, it was also a small compromise and concession to the Hawk Family.

Looking back now, this move might have made old Hawk and his son smug!

In fact, having witnessed the character of the Hawk father and son, Bai Xiaosheng had anticipated that today’s situation wouldn’t transition smoothly without a hitch and that something might happen.

Yet, even Bai Xiaosheng did not foresee the Hawk Family displaying such ”sincerity” to him!

Claiming there are seven other partners? Does the Hawk Family need external assistance to deal with Kelson!

Saying that if the Hawk Family releases Kelson’s shares, they will be immediately divided by those people?

Utter nonsense!

The truth is likely that the Hawk Family chose a few trusted families and directly transferred the shares to them!

What is this!

Left hand to right hand, a disguised form of coercion!

The level of threat even escalated rather than diminished!

The Hawk Family wants Bai Xiaosheng to know that Kelson’s lifeline is still in their hands!

Yet, they have the audacity to urge Bai Xiaosheng to expedite cooperation!

Implicitly suggesting that if they’re displeased, they would let go, allowing those ”seven families” to devour Kelson.

This is provocation!

Provoking the patience and intelligence of an Eastern business giant!

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly became enraged.

Even Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying showed signs of anger on their faces.

Such despicable tactics, forcibly imposing twisted logic, if argued with the other side, they would claim goodwill has already been extended, and as the Greater China Region Executive Director, you can’t back out of your words.

Want to save Kelson? Come and cooperate with us swiftly!

”Good calculation!”

”Xiaosheng, what should we do now!” Lin Weiwei furrowed her brows and asked.

Lei Ying also looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

”I can give them what they want.” Bai Xiaosheng’s voice was cold as he spoke word by word, ”But they haven’t given me what I want! Then, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Bai Xiaosheng was not made of mud, nor was he a pushover!

”About Kelson...” Lei Ying reminded.

Taking action against the Hawk Family requires precaution against their desperate moves, thus ensuring Kelson’s safety.

”Don’t worry, if they hadn’t taken this step, moving against them would be more troublesome, but since they’ve taken this step themselves,” Bai Xiaosheng coldly snorted, ”I’ll help them on their way!”

”Also let’s show some arrogant families on this side what attitude they should adopt if they want to cooperate with the Greater China Region, with me Bai Xiaosheng!”

If a Hawk Family dares to threaten Bai Xiaosheng with Kelson, there will inevitably be others who want to imitate.

Bai Xiaosheng felt it necessary to use this instance to set an example.

Necessary to establish his image and make people here understand—

Orientals cannot be bullied!

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng truly angered, knowing his nature and temper, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged glances and silently mourned for the Hawk Family.

Digging one’s own grave, no one else can be blamed!

...

The Hawk Family owns an estate on the outskirts of Brussels City. At the center of the estate is a medieval castle, considered a symbol of the Hawk Family’s wealth and glory. But actually, forty years ago, this castle didn’t belong to their family—it was purchased by Milos’s grandfather from a fallen noble, intending to pass it down through generations.

Unfortunately, the Hawk Family only flourished during the era of their great-great-grandfather, peaked with their great-grandfather, saw glory with their grandfather, and old Hawk’s generation was merely about maintaining the estate, with even slight signs of decline; as for the next generation, Andrew...

Even old Hawk feels the future doesn’t look optimistic.

The Hawk Family’s decline possibly began with old Hawk’s lack of long-term vision, coupled with a bit of reckless ambition and ignorant greed.

Currently, old Hawk is in the study discussing with his son Andrew the ”sincerity” they sent to Bai Xiaosheng.

Along with the threat.

The father and son were both excited, eyes glowing.

This situation, as Oriental sayings go, is akin to ”dancing on the head of a Tai Sui.”

However, after some ”analysis,” the father and son believe there’s no need to worry excessively.

”Yesterday, both of us met, and that Bai Xiaosheng is merely so; didn’t he compromise with us?” Andrew sneered, ”I don’t think he dares to offend Mr. Soruns! After all, we’re in Europe, not his East!”

Old Hawk puffed on his cigar, smiling in ease, ”True, as long as Soruns is on our side, what can Bai Xiaosheng do to us! Soruns is the Hawk Family’s talisman!”

”It’s all thanks to you and your foresight at the time. Soruns owes our family a debt of gratitude for his accomplishments today, and it’s only right he repays us!”

Andrew added with a laugh, ”Even if all else fails, and that Bai Xiaosheng defiantly refuses to save Kelson and cuts ties with us, we suffer no major losses. In the East, it’s not just Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region we can cooperate with; there’s Tengyun and others—we don’t need to fear them like a tiger.”

Old Hawk nodded in agreement.

Although angering Bai Xiaosheng to the extreme is not the best strategy, as Andrew mentioned, they are actively contacting other major partners in the East, and there are indeed alternatives to pursue!

”We are businessmen, and so is Bai Xiaosheng. This matter is merely him offering a price, and us countering, ultimately leading to mutual negotiation, slowly progressing.” Old Hawk waved his cigar leisurely with a smile.

To this day, old Hawk still believes Bai Xiaosheng will negotiate with him.

In his opinion, at least for the sake of Mr. Soruns, Bai Xiaosheng should have some patience.

Andrew nodded in agreement.

The father and son chatted more gleefully, confident that whether under Soruns’ protection or alternative routes, they needn’t overly fear Bai Xiaosheng.

Currently, their focus is on garnering the greatest benefit possible!

Should Bai Xiaosheng become displeased afterward, so be it; how could he stretch his hand over here to retaliate against them?

The longevity of their cooperation depends on the contract. Should the other party breach it, they would demand a hefty penalty fee—gaining profit!

”Back in the day, I witnessed Easterners and Westerners negotiating trade rules together; the concessions made by Easterners have ample room for exploitation!”

Old Hawk smiled gleefully, ”Andrew, this time, if we successfully compel Bai Xiaosheng to compromise, we’ll boast about it widely, elevating the Hawk Family’s reputation in Europe to new heights! With that, our family’s fame would greatly rise!”

”Even if we fail, we’d still gain fame! The reputational effect this brings, in my opinion, is no less than expanding into the Eastern market!”

Old Hawk harbored such intentions, hence adopting his son’s suggestion to play games with Bai Xiaosheng.

Despite being short-sighted and greedy, he had his calculations and a pursuit for the family’s reputation.

”Father’s insights are commendable!” Andrew’s eyes were filled with approval.

The father and son were so delighted in their discussion that they burst into laughter.

Right at that moment, the door to old Hawk’s study was suddenly pushed open, and Milos stormed in angrily.

Old Hawk and Andrew were startled.

”Milos, how could you be so rude, don’t you know to knock?” Old Hawk said angrily.

”Sister, I’m discussing something important with father, don’t interrupt us.” Andrew said as well.

Milos, with a stern face, let out a cold snort, ”I heard everything outside just now, you two have gone too far this time! That guy named Bai Xiaosheng is not one to be trifled with.”

Milos stood with the outsider.

Old Hawk’s face turned grim, and Andrew was a bit helpless.

”That guy is dangerous; he... won’t be intimidated by anyone!” Milos said seriously.

From her several interactions, she had concluded that Bai Xiaosheng is not someone who can be easily manipulated.

If he retaliates, it would likely be terrifying.

Milos was worried, in truth, for her father and brother!

”Looks like I’ve spoiled you, Milos. This matter doesn’t require your intervention! Understand? Go back to your room!” Old Hawk sternly waved his cigar and scolded harshly.

He had never treated his daughter so severely before, even Andrew was surprised and couldn’t help but look at his sister, advising, ”Sister, you don’t need to worry. That Bai Xiaosheng is insignificant!”

Milos had never been so scolded by her father.

Moreover, her concern was for her family, and her heart was filled with grievance.

”Fine, I’m leaving!” Milos stomped her foot, turned, and left, but before departing she warned her father and brother, ”Just wait and see since you don’t believe me!”

”That guy is terrifying when he gets angry!”
