Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Pah!"

The teacup fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

Li Zhaoheng stared at his subordinate Li Tianwang in disbelief, "Are all your words... true?"

Li Tianwang nodded: "Yes, that's right! Du Yongxiao teamed up with Rockefeller of the United States, Howard of the United Kingdom, and the stock market sniper Soros to cut off our retreat! To be precise, they acquired all the overseas assets of our Li Group. This news has now been spread, and soon our Hong Kong listed company's shares will plummet. Soros also came from the United States, and his purpose is very clear, that is, to acquire our Hong Kong assets again! Mr. Li, this time we are finished!"

"Impossible!" Li Zhaoheng swept all the teapots and teacups on the tea table like crazy!

Crackling!

Flowers bloomed all over the ground.

Looking at the furious Li Zhaoheng, Li Tiansheng didn't dare to say anything more.

"How could this happen? I don't believe it! I don't accept it!" Li Zhaoheng said to himself. He raised his head suddenly: "Hurry up and tell Smith and Meng Qingsong to protect our Li's."

Li Tiansheng shook his head and said: "Lisheng, the current situation is no longer something that can be controlled by a few stockbrokers. Du Yongxiao is rich and powerful, and he is bound to swallow up Li's and Cheung Kong Industries. This is not something you and I can control."

"I don't care! I don't care about anything! You are talking nonsense!" Li Zhaoheng stepped forward and grabbed Li Tiansheng's collar, glaring at him and said: "Listen to me clearly, I don't care how powerful the Du family is, I just want you to help me protect Li's! Yes, no matter what, we must protect Li's!"

Li Tiansheng smiled bitterly, "Yes, Lisheng! I will try my best!"

At this moment, only he knew clearly that the chaebol alliance formed by Du Yongxiao was unstoppable, especially when Soros came to Hong Kong. Once the news spread, Li's Group, Cheung Kong Industries, Henderson Land Development and other companies that opposed Du Yongxiao were all in trouble.

Apart from other things, the share price of Cheung Kong Holdings has also started to plummet like Li's, and the "Superman Li" who is famous in Hong Kong for his diligence and wisdom has become an ant on the hot pot, probably even more miserable than Li Zhaoheng.

…

"Quick! Spread the word, as soon as the stock market opens tomorrow, buy back our real estate shares under Cheung Kong Holdings! You know, real estate is my lifeblood, I will never allow it to have any mistakes! Cough cough cough!"

In the office, after saying this, Boss Li Jiacheng began to cough violently.

Song Bingshu, his trusted subordinate, was sweating profusely and said nervously, "But we have no money! All the cash has been frozen by the bank! The rest has been given to Li Zhaoheng, and now we can't even get a penny out!"

"Uh, how could this happen?" Boss Li didn't bother to cough, and jumped up from his chair in surprise, staring with wide eyes, "Why did the bank freeze my assets? Those are all my things, why, what's the reason?"

Song Bingshu smiled bitterly and said, "It's the ICAC that said that our Cheung Kong Group is suspected of commercial bribery and wants to investigate us."

"What?" Boss Li was shocked, "Isn't the ICAC on our side? Isn't that foreigner Bailiqu a mortal enemy of Du Yongxiao? How could this happen? What went wrong?"

Song Bingshu hesitated and said, "It's like this. As far as I know, Du Yongxiao has already subdued the foreigner Bailiqu, and now Bailiqu is serving him. The ICAC investigated us at his instigation."

Boom!

Boss Li seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, his body was shaky, and he reached out to hold the desk.

"Boss, are you okay?" Song Bingshu hurried forward to support him.

"I... I'm fine." Boss Li waved his hands with difficulty, his eyes dim: "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's true, not only us, but also the Li Group, Henderson Land Development, Far East Bank, Far East Securities, etc., all the companies involved in the anti-Du alliance are being investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption!" Song Bingshu said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the stocks of these companies will plummet tomorrow, and Du Yongxiao will swallow them all without hesitation. It is still unknown whether Li's and Cheung Kong Industries can exist in the future!"

Boss Li's lips trembled, his eyes were unfocused, "What did you say, will my company... exist? Why can't it exist? They were all founded by me, just like my own children! No, they can't have any accidents! Cough cough cough!"

Boss Li covered his chest and coughed violently, looking painful.

Song Bingshu patted his back and said, "Boss, don't be sad. Maybe we can turn things around if you are willing--"

"What am I willing to do?" Boss Li asked.

"I am willing to submit to Du Yongxiao. Maybe he is willing to let us go, and Cheung Kong Industry can survive."

"What did you say? Do you mean that I should apologize to him and let him be the major shareholder to control me?" Boss Li asked.

Song Bingshu nodded, "This is the best situation at present. Allow him to stay in Cheung Kong Industry, and... you will be his puppet."

"Impossible! Cough cough cough!" Boss Li was almost angry to death, his appearance was hysterical, and his eyes were spitting flames, "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! How can I be insulted like this just to survive?"

Song Bingshu hesitated: "There is no choice now! In fact, it is not you who is surviving, but whether the entire Cheung Kong Industry can survive, this is the key!"

One sentence reminded the dreamer.

Yes, what does it matter whether I can survive?

The continued existence of Cheung Kong Industry is the key. If Du Yongxiao really swallows it, then he will have nothing.

Close your eyes.

Boss Li was torn between inner and outer feelings.

In a moment——

He opened his eyes, exhaled slowly, looked at Song Bingshu and said, "Is there really no other choice?"

"without!"

"Hey!" Boss Li sighed.

…

This night,

Countless people stayed up all night.

Especially the big guys who stood at the top of the business world and formed the alliance to defeat Du Du were tossing and turning, and even howling all night long.

It is said that overnight, Henderson Real Estate tycoon Li Zhaoji's hair turned gray, and even his wife was shocked when he got up.

In ancient times, Wu Zixu passed through Shaoguan and his head turned white overnight. Today, Li Zhaoji's head turns white all night after hearing the bad news.

Qiu Degen, the boss of Far East Bank, was said to be bedridden because he was seriously ill. People who knew the inside story said that Qiu Degen kept repeating one sentence in his hospital bed: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have heard that last name in the first place." Li, if you’re surnamed Li, retribution is here!”

Far East Securities boss Li Zhaofu fell into the water last night. It is said that he was fishing at night on a luxury yacht. Then he learned that the Du Group was acquiring his own assets overseas and that Soros was coming to Hong Kong. He shouted: "Heaven is going to kill me!" With a pop, he fell into the water.

Fortunately, someone heard the sound of water and jumped into the water to rescue him, and Li Zhaofu was fished out of the sea.

According to people familiar with the matter, the boss was wet all over, breathless and dying.

He was brought back from the brink of death through first aid measures such as artificial respiration.

After being pulled back, the first thing the boss said when he opened his eyes was: "Tell Mr. Du that I'm sorry!"

In addition to these tycoons, there are also many big figures in the Dudu Alliance, and they all tasted the so-called "pain" this night.

…

Hong Kong Island, Hilton Hotel.

In this era of Hong Kong, the Hilton Hotel is the industry's golden signature, even surpassing the long-established Kowloon Peninsula Hotel in terms of scale and facilities.

Jiang Ling'er was dressed coquettishly, with almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, and seductive heavy makeup. She was sitting in a hotel car in a hurry.

"Does it have to be this way?" she asked.

"Yes. Miss Jiang, you have no choice now. Only Mr. Jiang can save you." The speaker was an old woman with heavy makeup and a shrewd look in her eyes. "I know you are a strong woman in Thailand and you are very famous there. , but now that you have lost so much money, how can you go back? In other words, what if you had saved the King of Thailand? He has almost repaid your debt for saving him. For this reason, you have monopolized a lot of business in Thailand. But now, your businesses have been fully acquired by the Du Group. If you don’t have financial assistance, you will have nothing!”

This mamasang knew Jiang Ling'er's situation very well and directly poked her weak point.

"Seriously, you came here to beg me and ask me to help you contact the big boss to help you. Now all I can think of is this young master. He is very rich and generous. As long as you can make him happy , then everything will be easy to talk about," Mamasang said earnestly.

In fact, Mama Sang knew very well that although this young master was somewhat powerful, he could not help Jiang Ling'er much. But who made Jiang Ling'er so arrogant and look down on others before? This made Mama Sang very unhappy. Now it is When it's time to destroy her prestige, let this arrogant woman know what it means to be human and what it means to deal with difficulties.

In addition, Mamasang also has bad intentions and wants to make a fortune from Mr. Jiang by introducing Jiang Ling'er. After all, there are very few top beauties like Jiang Ling'er.

Jiang Ling'er felt anxious and helpless.

She never dreamed that one day she would fall to this level.

It's all that bastard Du Yongxiao!

Yes, it's all because of him!

When Jiang Ling'er thought of Du Yongxiao, her teeth itched with hatred.

This time she contacted Lee Zhaoheng and came from Thailand to seek revenge on Du Yongxiao. She thought she could use Lee Zhaoheng's power to form an alliance to defeat Du and swallow up Du Yongxiao's Du Group. Who would have thought that Du Yongxiao was the most cunning old fox and was copying behind his back? They moved away from their home base and acquired all their foreign assets with huge funds.

You know, in order to fight Du Yongxiao at this time, everyone transferred foreign liquidity to Hong Kong, where they "guarded the emptiness" and directly gave Du Yongxiao an opportunity to take advantage of.

God knows.

How miserable were those who defeated the Du Alliance this time at the hands of Du Yongxiao.

Not to mention others, just Jiang Ling'er herself was almost killed by Du Yongxiao.

Originally, she was a strong woman in Thailand. She once saved the King of Thailand and monopolized Thailand's rubber, rice and other businesses, making a lot of gold and silver. Now, she transferred those company funds to Lee Zhaoheng. , used to help them attack Du Yongxiao. Thailand's defense was weak and was caught off guard by the allied forces formed by Du Yongxiao. Now it is almost being acquired.

When Jiang Ling'er heard the news, she was almost shocked to death.

She never dreamed that things would develop like this. If possible, she would rather that nothing happened, she would stay in Thailand, be her own strong woman, control her own companies and enterprises, and then leave these assets to her son Xiaotangyuan.

But now-——

In order to protect these things that belonged to her, she had to ask someone to find this Mamasang, and introduce her to the wealthy young master of Xiangjiang, hoping that the other party could help her.

She was so mean and coquettish, like a dancer, that even Jiang Ling'er felt disgusted with herself.

But she had no choice.

Yes, she had to endure this in order to protect everything that belonged to her.

"Okay, get out of the car. The others are already here. You and them."

"Huh?"

As Mama-san said, a long white Rolls-Royce car stopped, the door opened, and five or six beautiful girls got out of the car.

Those girls were all very pretty, some were pure, some were charming, just like the young models of the future, and they were equally lovable.

Many men at the entrance of the hotel saw so many beauties, and they looked sideways, swallowing their saliva, wondering which man was so lucky.

"Don't look at them anymore, they are all here to attend the banquet like you, and then get to know that young master Jiang, so don't think that you are the only one, many people are eager to curry favor with young master Jiang." Mama-san reminded Jiang Ling'er not to put on the posture of a strong woman in the past, and let her face the reality that she needs help now.

Jiang Ling'er said no more, hesitated, got out of the car, and joined the five or six girls.

When the girls saw her coming, they immediately showed a vigilant look, after all, Jiang Ling'er was too beautiful, and as a competitor, she was very threatening.

At this moment, Jiang Ling'er's heart was in a mess.

The big bosses and tycoons in Hong Kong were either attacked by Du Yongxiao as part of the anti-Du alliance, or they watched the fire from the other side and did not dare to help them.

Du Yongxiao's deterrence was too great, and no one dared to provoke him. Moreover, now that the wall has fallen, everyone is pushing it. It is good enough that no one will add insult to injury. Who will help?

As for these, Jiang Ling'er has personal experience. Now those big bosses see her as if they see a plague, afraid of causing trouble. Who dares to help? Because of this, Jiang Ling'er would resort to this desperate measure and find this mama-san to save the country in a roundabout way.

Jiang Ling'er lamented that her life was miserable. How could she fall into such a state and suffer such a crime?

While thinking, she had already followed the girls into the hotel banquet hall.

The banquet had already begun. The celebrities from various Hong Kong families were dressed in expensive suits and toasted each other.

Except for Jiang Ling'er, the five or six young models were cramped. They were all from ordinary families. They had never seen such a scene before and felt out of place.

Especially the scrutiny, the comments, the snickers, and the incomprehensible conversations, all made them feel very nervous.

"Hurry up, don't let Mr. Jiang wait." Mama-san urged the girls to speed up and walk towards a nearby VIP room.

"Be careful later, Mr. Jiang has a bad temper, you must be careful about what you say and do--" Mama-san continued to remind everyone, so as to avoid any accidents, and she would have to take the blame.
