Tokugawa Ryōji was present at the scene and discussed the matter with Tokugawa Kōna as soon as he returned ho.
Tokugawa Kōna nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, it seems Xu Hao has so advantage now, but I am convinced within a month, those people will be dissatisfied with various things and demand assistance from Xu Hao, otherwise they will cause trouble."
After saying this, Tokugawa Kōna paused for a mont and called Xu Hao to inquire about his views.
Xu Hao laughed on the other end of the phone, "Thank you Mr. Tokugawa Kōna, but I've been contemplating this matter for a while. I believe our viewpoints do not align, and it is impossible to reach consensus now, so discussing it doesn't have much aning. However, I can reveal one thing: I won't be blindly rciful to those people."
Seeing Xu Hao's insistence on pursuing his own path, Tokugawa Kōna did not press further.
The industries of Universal Vitality Hall were gradually stripped away by Xu Hao. He ye Zhi Ji had long fled, leaving no trace, not even the Saint of Fist could locate him, indicating he likely anticipated failure.
But at this ti, the Baolu Group issued a seemingly humble but actually very arrogant announcent to Xu Hao:
"It is well-known that Venerable Xu Hao from Huaya is strong in martial arts, we re mortals dare not inquire further. However, Xu Hao has recently insulted our Baolu Automobile Group, damaging our reputation. Isn't this sowhat inappropriate? Could it be that Huaya has produced an automobile company stronger than our Baolu Automobile Group?"
Everyone who saw this announcent knew it was a declaration of war.
Baolu Automobile is one of the world's top ten automotive groups, playing a critical role in the global automotive industry.
In Dongying, Baolu Automobile is indisputably the leading automotive group, commanding over sixty percent of Dongying's automotive market share, with the remainder divided among the second, third, and other small manufacturers.
Yet now, they have issued a challenge to Xu Hao in the automotive field.
After all, everyone knows Huaya's automotive sector started very late, and to date, is still quite weak, with no comparison to Baolu Automobile Group.
"These people are just too detestable. Didn't you just cut through the car's glass at first? There are so many car accidents every year, why don't they say those people are deliberately damaging their reputation?" Qiu er said angrily.
In her anger, she cut off the door of a room with one sword, frightening the newly arrived Hodoka Moyo into trembling all over, not daring to move at all.
Xu Hao chuckled, "These people just can't stand a Huaya person like being so high-profile on Dongying's turf, showing their strong pride in their nationality, though it might be a bit too extre. But, I am not afraid of them."
"Isn't it true that Huaya's automotive industry is indeed not very strong and still has a considerable gap compared to Baolu Automobile Group? I wonder what Venerable Xu Hao will use to compete with them?" Hodoka Moyo asked, voicing her doubts.
"When there's a will, there's a way. Baolu Group's automobile products are indeed strong, but that doesn't an ours from Huaya are fundantally outmatched." Xu Hao said while reviewing the docunts sent by his subordinates.
"But do you know? The automotive industry is the one with the longest industrial chain in all manufacturing sectors, which ans its output value ranks first in manufacturing. However, to manufacture a car that can be used, the technical and economic requirents are very high. Roughly estimated, the parts of a car can reach twenty to thirty thousand, which is a very large number.
But as far as I know, Xu Liu Group has never ventured into the automotive industry. Entering a new sector rashly doesn't seem prudent, and even with the support of our Hodoka Family, it's difficult to compete with Baolu Group. They hold a lot of core technology, and we have no competitiveness whatsoever, only able to produce cheaper and lower-quality products." Hodoka Moyo said worriedly.
She was describing the issues currently faced by the Hodoka Family and those Xu Hao would inevitably encounter in the future.
Without advancing in core technology, you can't compare, no matter how much you say.
After Xu Hao finished reviewing the docunts in his hand, he said, "Why should I compete with them in core technology? Why not buy out their entire group?"
"You... you want to acquire the entire Baolu Automobile Group? Venerable Xu Hao, are you thinking too big? Baolu Automobile Group is a giant enterprise with a market value of hundreds of billions of Mi Coin. If you wanted to acquire them, you'd probably need at least five hundred billion Mi Coin, and they might not even sell to you, considering Baolu Group has always been highly profitable in large quantities." Hodoka Moyo looked at Xu Hao with great astonishnt. She never expected that Xu Hao was eyeing the acquisition of Baolu Automobile Group!
