Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Du Yongxiao remained silent until Yan Xiong finished saying everything he wanted to say. Then he picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, put down the spoon in his hand, looked at Yan Xiong and said, "So, you think I asked you to go to the mainland just to Send you to the frontier? Make you suffer?"

"Isn't it, godfather?" Yan Xiong said bravely, "The mainland is so poor. When my mother and I fled from the mainland to Hong Kong, it was because we didn't have food. Our place is pretty good, not too bad. In the countryside, you can occasionally eat some rice. I heard that many places in the countryside can't even eat rice or steamed buns. People are so hungry that they chew tree bark and eat Guanyin soil..."

Of course Du Yongxiao understood that what Yan Xiong said was true. It was a very difficult time in China, with international suppression and natural disasters in the country. The people were unable to uncover the blame and were hungry, but their hearts were close to their backs. However, that period of history also tempered us. The Chinese people have a hard-working spirit and never give up. For many people of the older generation, that period of history not only contains hardships, but also provides inspiration, as well as the national sentiment that we help each other and overcome difficulties together.

It’s just that now some people are too full to eat. The so-called democratic fighters under the guise of democracy like to criticize that period and put all the blame on the country. But they don’t know that it’s not easy for a country to support you. Otherwise, how could you be allowed to fart casually? ?

Back to reality, Yan Xiong's worries are not wrong. Yan Xiong fled from the mainland, and it is undoubtedly a blow to him to return to the mainland now.

"Godfather, to be honest, I am really loyal to you. It is true that I have done something sorry for you in the past, but those things are in the past. Don't worry about it anymore. As for now, if you think I shouldn't help those Chinese businessmen, I Admit it, I would rather accept other punishments, but..." Yan Xiong looked at Du Yongxiao and said firmly: "But I really don't want to go to the mainland."

Hearing what Yan Xiong said, Jiang Ling'er's reaction was that Yan Xiong was determined not to go to the mainland to work hard.

Jiang Muling's reaction was that Yan Xiong's tone was protective or directed towards the Chinese businessmen. Now it depends on Du Yongxiao's views on monopoly.

Du Yongxiao did not express his position, but Jiang Ling'er laughed out loud: "Inspector Yan, it seems that you are frightened by the mainland and regard it as a scourge. Don't you read the newspaper now? They are planning to implement reform and opening up and allow us, Hong Kong and Macao, to Mr. Du means to let Taiwanese compatriots invest in the mainland together and take the lead, and the investment location is not far from Hong Kong, which is Shenzhen, only across the river from Hong Kong..."

"Uh, why are you coming with me?" Yan Xiong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Linger and then Du Yongxiao in surprise.

"Ling'er is right. I plan to let you go to the mainland with her. I have great hopes for the mainland. If nothing happens, Shenzhen will be transformed in just ten years. We will invest a penny today. The money will be harvested a hundred times, even a thousand times, ten thousand times in time!" Du Yongxiao said to Yan Xiong. "If nothing else, the mainland is in short supply of daily necessities. Even if we invested in a garment factory, a shoe factory, or a food factory, we could make a lot of gold and silver. If we were bolder, we could invest in electronics factories, steel factories, Large technology industrial parks, real estate companies, star hotels, nightclubs, dance halls, etc.”

Du Yongxiao became more and more excited as he talked, imagining the bright future of Shenzhen in his mind, "What's more, the land resources there are abundant, the human resources are sufficient, and the labor is cheap, and the government has given us Hong Kong businessmen strong support in terms of policies, such as tax reductions and electricity bills. Discounts on water bills, etc., these are all opportunities!”

Yan Xiong was originally very resistant to going to the mainland for development, thinking that it would mean going to a poor place to play in the mud with no future. But now that he heard what Du Yongxiao said, his heart became warm and he couldn't help but said: "What if I open a foreign bank?" ? The companies, factories, projects and hotels you mentioned all need money. The mainland is so poor, and the banks there probably won’t be able to help. If we go there and open a bank first, not only will we not have to use the money ourselves, Don't worry, you can also lend money to other companies and make huge profits!" Yan Xiong couldn't help but say.

Du Yongxiao smiled. Of course he knew that investment banks were very profitable. Especially in the last generation, the first foreign-funded bank in Shenzhen was the Nanyang Commercial Bank Shenzhen Branch. It opened in 1982 and was the first foreign-funded bank introduced in China after the founding of the People's Republic of China. On December 1, 1989, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the first stock exchange in New China, was born.

The reason why Du Yongxiao didn't talk about finance just now was to give Yan Xiong a chance to talk. As expected, Yan Xiong fell into the trap and talked eloquently.

Bang bang bang!

Du Yongxiao applauded and praised Yan Xiong: "Inspector Yan is indeed extraordinary. He has a great business acumen. He is very profitable in finance. Haha, why didn't I think of that!"

Yan Xiong didn't expect that Du Yongxiao would praise him to his face. He raised his tail immediately and felt as comfortable as if he had done something to kill a chicken. He was so happy that he said from ear to ear: "Where is it? I have been running with my godfather for so long. I have learned a lot." That’s right, make money, don’t be ashamed, you must always seize the opportunity, hehe!”

Du Yongxiao touched his chin, thought for a while, nodded and said to Yan Xiong: "You are right, there is no shame in making money. Since we want to open a factory and a company there, we also need to build an industrial park, build a hotel, open a nightclub, and open a dance hall. Wait, of course we need to open a bank to support it! The investment is huge, I guess it will be at least one billion US dollars!"

boom!

Yan Xiong's head exploded,

A billion dollars?

Invest in the Mainland?

Just when Yan Xiong was confused, Du Yongxiao continued: "It's a pity that the money I swept from the Qinglong Society has to be invested in the Golden Triangle. I have no choice but to withdraw it from the group. Well, one billion is not a small amount. The minimum investment in the mainland is It has to be doubled, so how much is it? Ten billion? Hey, I don’t know who has the ability to take charge of the mainland and become a ten billion tycoon in the mainland!” Du Yongxiao sighed.

Yan Xiong's head was buzzing and exploding continuously.

Jiang Ling'er assisted and said: "I think A-Xian is pretty good!"

"You mean Zhuang Dingxian?" Du Yongxiao turned to look at Senior Superintendent Zhuang Dingxian who was standing next to him, guarding him.

"Yeah, I think A-yin is pretty good. He can resign and follow me to the mainland. By then, with one billion US dollars, the two of us will be able to use the policies there and work with the people of Shenzhen to build Shenzhen into another Hong Kong. !" Jiang Ling'er vowed.

Du Yongxiao smiled and looked at Zhuang Dingxian: "Axian, what do you think?"

Zhuang Dingxian was about to speak-——

Yan Xiong hurriedly interrupted: "Godfather, no!"

"Ah, why not?" Du Yongxiao looked at Yan Xiong in surprise.

Yan Xiong stood up and said righteously: "First of all, A-yin is now a senior superintendent of the police force. If nothing else happens, he will go to Scotland Yard for training at the end of the year. When he comes back, he will become a superintendent of the NTUC. It can be said that he has a bright future! If he rushes now Resigning will not delay his career? Besides, Ah Yin has always done a good job in the police force. Many people need him to make decisions on many things. If he leaves, it will be a loss for the police force and a loss for the citizens!"

"Secondly, A-yin is still very young and very good-looking. When he and Miss Jiang walk together, it is inevitable that some people will gossip. Of course, I absolutely believe in the character of A-yin and Miss Jiang, but it is inevitable that other people will have random thoughts. This will damage your godfather’s reputation! In short, it’s terrible! It’s not okay for A-Xian and Miss Jiang to go to Shenzhen to work together. We need to think about it in the long term!”

"Finally, although Shenzhen is not a place like a dragon or a tiger, it is also a place of sophisticated people. It needs a mature and prudent person to deal with it. Dealing with people is a very particular thing. Young people will inevitably be young and energetic and cannot handle interpersonal relationships well. relation."

What Yan Xiong said was clear and logical. Du Yongxiao listened carefully and nodded frequently. Even Jiang Ling'er, Jiang Muling, and Zhuang Dingxian had to admit that what Yan Xiong said made sense.

"Then if Ah Xian is not suitable, who can take on the important task?" Du Yongxiao asked.

Yan Xiong said solemnly: "Although I don't want to go to the mainland for some reasons, if you need me, godfather, I am willing to obey your orders!" He looked very embarrassed and entangled.

Du Yongxiao shook his head and said: "Since you call me godfather, I will be responsible for you! If you don't want to go to the mainland, how can I force you?"

Yan Xiong was anxious: "I'm not forcing myself! I'm not forcing myself at all! I want to!" He was afraid that Du Yongxiao would change his mind and not let him go.

Yan Xiong didn't want to go there before, but now he heard that he was going there with a billion dollars. That was different. Wouldn't he be at the level of an emperor when he got there?

Besides, in the future, if it really doubles tenfold, that would be one billion US dollars. Then wouldn’t he be a veritable tens-billion tycoon if he were in charge of a mainland enterprise?

Hahaha!

Thinking of this, Yan Xiong can wake up from his dreams with a smile.

"But -" Du Yongxiao touched his chin, "As you said, the mainland is very poor, and many people don't even have enough to eat..."

"That's why I should go!" Yan Xiong patted his chest and said, "Only people like me who have been hungry know how uncomfortable it is to be hungry! I must save my compatriots in Shenzhen, build factories, start companies, and let They have jobs, income, and can eat white rice and steamed buns!”

As he spoke, Yan Xiong raised his chest and raised his head, staring into the distance, as if communicating with God, "Who makes me a caring person? What's more, I am Chinese, I love my compatriots! I am more patriotic!"

At this moment, Yan Xiong is about to turn into a saint.

Jiang Linger, Jiang Muling and Zhuang Dingxian had different expressions.

Du Yongxiao thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I promise you!"

Yan Xiong was ecstatic, but on the surface he seemed very calm. He looked at Du Yongxiao and said, "Thank you godfather, I will work hard!" and waved his fist.

Du Yongxiao smiled: "Very good, drink the soup! Drink the Laohuo soup while it's hot!"

"Thank you, godfather!" Yan Xiong sat down again, picked up the spoon, took a sip of the soup, and praised: "Good soup!"

…

After finishing the business, the next breakfast was very bland. Du Yongxiao casually chatted with Yan Xiong about his life in the Mainland. After waiting for the servant to serve tea and fruits, Du Yongxiao prepared to leave the table and go back upstairs after drinking tea. After changing clothes, Yan Xiong also quickly stood up and said goodbye.

Du Yongxiao asked Zhuang Dingxian to send Yan Xiong away.

Zhuang Dingxian sent Yan Xiong to the door. Yan Xiong did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned around and took out cigarettes from his arms, popped one out and handed it to Zhuang Dingxian and said, "I'm sorry, A-Xian, for blocking your way of making money this time. Originally, Du Sir, you agreed to go to the mainland, but I stopped you."

Zhuang Dingxian took the cigarette, held it in the corner of his mouth and said: "As long as you know, if you go to the mainland with a billion dollars, you will be half a local emperor after all. It will be much better than me being a police superintendent in Hong Kong!"

Yan Xiong smiled, personally helped Zhuang Dingxian light the cigarette, then patted Zhuang Dingxian on the shoulder and said: "You are still young and have plenty of opportunities. As long as you stay with Mr. Du, you will become prosperous sooner or later! Don't worry, I am optimistic about you. You will definitely have a better future than me in the future." , such a handsome boy!”

Zhuang Dingxian also smiled, "To be honest, if it weren't for Mr. Du who fell in love with you from the beginning, I would definitely fight with you this time!"

Yan Xiong was slightly startled when he heard this, and immediately burst into laughter: "So that's it, this is called a bystander trying to seduce the authorities! It seems that I have been tricked by my godfather again!"

Zhuang Dingxian smiled and said: "Be content, there are very few people in the world who can be tricked by Mr. Du, you can be proud of it!"

Yan Xiong smiled happily: "What I'm saying is that I should be happy! By the way, what will my godfather do about the anti-monopoly I proposed before?"

"You ask me?" Zhuang Dingxian took a puff of cigarette, spit it out, squinted his eyes and said, "I'm not Mr. Du's stomach worm, how do I know?"

"Aren't you a bystander?"

"It's different. This involves Miss Jiang's interests."

"Ms. Jiang is going to Shenzhen with me. The business in Bangkok——"

"I heard that it will be taken care of by Jiang Muling."

"Ah?" Yan Xiong was stunned, "That would be tragic."

"Why?"

"Jiang Muling, that guy who is neither a man nor a woman, has a twisted mentality. He might get worse and those Chinese businessmen will have no way to survive!" Yan Xiong sighed.

"You can't say that," Zhuang Dingxian said while holding a cigarette. "I observed Jiang Muling recently today. He is not the same as before. He is not a pervert as you said. On the contrary, he is very caring and likes to eat dumplings the most. Let’s play together!”

Yan Xiong rolled his eyes, "That's what's scary about him, his hypocrisy! Pretending to be pitiful and using the little glutinous rice balls as a shield!"

Zhuang Dingxian said angrily: "Don't think of people so bad, okay? Not everyone is like you and likes to scheme in everything!"

Yan Xiong curled his lips: "Just watch, you will suffer the consequences if you don't listen to the old man's words!" After that, he walked towards his car.

Zhuang Dingxian followed and replied: "Mr. Du has the final say. No matter how much you and I say, it's useless!"

"Then tell me, how should I reply to those Chinese businessmen now? Tell them whether they still have a monopoly here?" Yan Xiong turned around and got into his BMW and said to Zhuang Dingxian through the car door.

Zhuang Dingxian smiled, holding a cigarette and said: "You are almost becoming a future tens of billions of tycoons and you still worry about this?"

"I told you, I was very thoughtful, and I felt bad watching them suffer!"

"Then you take them to invest in the mainland. If you move trees, you will die, but if you move people, they will live. They should understand this!"

"Uh, that makes sense!" Yan Xiong nodded, "Then I will form a group, and its name will be the Love Investment Group!"
