Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"What? Are you afraid of riding a horse?"

At the shooting site, the bearded director yelled at the male protagonist, "Oh my God, you are playing Lee Bang-won, Lee Bang-won, he is the king of horses, how can you not ride a horse?"

"Ahem, no, director, it's not that I can't ride a horse, it's that I'm afraid of riding a horse!" The male protagonist is a handsome Korean boy, who hurriedly explained: "When I was a child, I was riding a horse in the playground and fell off the horse's back, and then I was left with sequelae, and I was afraid of seeing horses!"

"Shiba, are you kidding?" The bearded director said angrily, almost dropping the script in his hand It hit the male pig's head, "I know you are afraid of horses, so I prepared a mule for you! This is a mule, and you are afraid of it?" The male pig looked at the mule that was still throwing its hooves in the snow, turned his head and said to the director: "But this mule looks too much like a horse!" "Fuck your mother!" The director was almost angry to death, pointing at the male pig's foot: "Don't think that I can't shoot this play without you!" "Yes, yes, you can find someone to be my stand-in, well, anyway, it's a long shot of riding a horse, anyone is the same." The male pig hurriedly smiled and gave the director advice. The bearded director kicked the other's calf, and the male pig hugged his leg and screamed. "Damn it, do you need to teach me?" The bearded director was furious and began to look around to see who could replace the male pig. This stand-in must have a strong aura, be handsome enough, and most importantly, be able to ride a horse---Then---The bearded director shook his head vigorously. Why are there so many ugly people around him today? There is not even a handsome one. Suddenly——

Everyone looked behind the director, especially the women on the set, who covered their mouths with a crazy look on their faces, and widened their eyes in surprise.

"What's going on? Did I see a ghost?" The bearded director turned around.

Behind him, Du Yongxiao, who had changed into the clothes of the King of Korea, just came out of the dressing room.

In the snow-——

He was like a king who dominated the world. Whether it was his temperament or his momentum, he was unique, making people feel like he had traveled through time from ancient times, so real.

"Oh my God, am I seeing things? Is he an ancient person or a modern person?" A girl covered her mouth and said in surprise.

"I must be dazzled! Otherwise, how could there be such a heroic man in the world?" Another woman wiped her eyes hard.

"Is this a real person? Why does he look so good in ancient costumes? He looks just like our King Taizong!" A man said.

From the moment Du Yongxiao appeared, there was a commotion at the scene.

In the world, only Du Yongxiao and the falling snow were left, and they didn't know what was happening here.

The bearded director stared at Du Yongxiao, who was dressed in ancient costume.

He shook his head to make sure that he was not dazzled or dreaming, and immediately ran towards Du Yongxiao regardless of everything, saying, "Friend, please stay!"

Du Yongxiao changed his clothes and planned to meet up with Li Jianxi, Jiang Ling'er and others to take a few photos casually. Unexpectedly, someone called him from behind. He turned around and saw that it was the bearded director who was filming just now.

"Are you calling me?" Du Yongxiao put his hands behind his back and looked at the bearded director curiously.

The bearded director came forward without saying anything, but circled around Du Yongxiao for a few times, saying, "Resemblance! It's so similar! It's even more heroic than our King Taejong of Korea!"

Du Yongxiao frowned, thinking that the bearded director was sick.

"Friend, do you want to act in a movie, do you want to be a star? I see that you are very beautiful, handsome, and have a good figure... Tsk tsk, you are just a star! If you are willing, I can give you a chance and make you a star, how about it? Are you excited? Are you excited?"

Du Yongxiao looked at the arrogant bearded director, who looked like he was optimistic about you and could make you a star. Du Yongxiao was sure that the other party was really sick.

A person of his status and position would become a star? It's too late to be low-key!

"Sorry, I refuse!"

"Ah?" The bearded director almost fell down, "You refuse?" I suspect he heard it wrong.

You know, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He is the famous Korean director Kim Dong-cheol, an invincible existence who has won the Blue Dragon Award, the largest award in Korea. Any actor he likes, regardless of gender, can be made into an actor or actress.

Many actors usually flatter him, hoping that he can give them opportunities, and those amateurs worship him and treat him as a god.

"Did I hear you right, friend? Do you know who I am? I am Kim Dong-chul, Kim Dong-chul!"

"Who is Kim Dong-chul?"

Du Yongxiao almost choked the bearded director to death with one sentence.

"You don't know me?" Pointing at his nose.

"Why should I know you?" Du Yongxiao asked.

The bearded director Kim Dong-chul was speechless.

When he came to his senses, Kim Dong-chul was about to get angry, but Lee Jianxi came over with his men.

Kim Dong-chul knew Lee Jianxi.

The Samsung chaebol family is famous in South Korea, and they often like to support the development of Korean films. Kim Dong-chul has several dramas invested by Samsung.

It can be said that the Lee family of Samsung Group is Kim Dong-chul's great benefactor and the object of Kim Dong-chul's flattery.

As soon as he saw Lee Jianxi, Kim Dong-chul's eyes lit up, thinking why President Lee was here? Why did he come over? Oh, he must have seen me, my God, I am so honored!

Kim Dong-chul was so happy that he immediately walked up to him: "President, I am glad to see you!"

Imagine myself shaking hands with Li Jianxi cordially, and everyone around me witnessed the scene with their own eyes. Maybe it will be in the newspaper tomorrow.

Li Jianxi walked towards him with a smile.

Just when Jin Dongzhe stretched out his hand to shake hands with him——

Li Jianxi didn't even look at him, brushed past him, and said to Du Yongxiao: "Mr. Du, very good! This suit suits you very well!"

Jin Dongzhe was still standing there awkwardly. He didn't understand why Li Jianxi ignored him? It wasn't until he heard a voice from behind that he turned around and saw Li Jianxi talking enthusiastically with the handsome young man just now, and he looked very familiar.

"Uh, how could this be?" Jin Dongzhe couldn't believe his eyes.

Others around him were also surprised.

Because someone at the scene had recognized the Samsung Group's prince Li Jianxi.

The father and son of the Li family were frequent guests in newspapers and TV, and it was hard not to know each other.

But they were more surprised by the relationship between Li Jianxi and Du Yongxiao.

Why was Li Jianxi so enthusiastic about him?

Even a little flattering?

Who is this young man?

"I just tried it on and it's OK!" Du Yongxiao said with a smile, "Let's go and take some photos, it can also be considered as checking in."

"Uh, check in?" Li Jianxi was still wondering what "check in" meant. At this time, Jin Dongzhe came over with a smile and said flatteringly: "Is it President Li? I'm Dongzhe, Dongzhe. Last time you invested in my movie "Shadow Warrior", I'm very grateful!"

Li Jianxi was originally talking very well with Du Yongxiao, but he was suddenly interrupted. He felt a little unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face. He just glanced at Jin Dongzhe coldly and said: "It turned out to be Director Jin. I saw you filming just now, so I didn't interrupt you."

"Really? So President Li, you saw me? I'm really honored!" Jin Dongzhe drooled and looked like he was trying to please.

Li Jianxi was busy talking to Du Yongxiao. Seeing that Jin Dongzhe was still lingering and nagging, he said coldly, "Director Jin, do you have anything else to say?"

Kim Dongzhe had no idea that the other party was already annoyed, and he said self-righteously, "Oh, it's like this. I recently received a very good script about the Imjin War. I know that President Li has always been interested in movies. Do you have time to sit down and tell you about this story?"

"Time? I don't have time." Li Jianxi interrupted Jin Dongzhe, "Don't you see that I am talking to a distinguished guest?"

Jin Dongzhe then looked at Du Yongxiao again and asked Li Jianxi, "Who is this-"

"He is Mr. Du from Hong Kong... Why am I telling you this?" Li Jianxi was impatient.

Kim Dongzhe realized that something was wrong. President Li seemed to hate him.

Also, who is this Mr. Du? How could he be so important to President Li?

Jin Dongzhe was full of curiosity, but he also knew that now was not the time to ask questions, and Li Jianxi was not someone he could question, so he immediately nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes, yes! Then I won't bother you! Sorry, Mr. Du, I offended you just now!" Jin Dongzhe was also a smart man. Seeing that Du Yongxiao's identity was not simple, he hurriedly apologized for what happened just now.

"It's okay." Du Yongxiao said lightly.

"Then I won't bother you two!" Jin Dongzhe hurriedly bowed and left.

Li Jianxi frowned and asked Du Yongxiao: "Did this guy do anything rude to you?"

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "Nothing, he just wanted to make me a star, but I rejected him, so he got angry--"

"He dared!" Li Jianxi was furious, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, "I think he Jin Dongzhe doesn't want to mix in the film and television industry anymore!"

Du Yongxiao shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about this, let's take pictures quickly, it's a bit cold! To be honest, I hate the weather in Seoul."

...

As Du Yongxiao expected, after the visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace, the real activities in Korea this time began.

At the invitation of Li Jianxi, Du Yongxiao's first stop was to inspect Li Jianxi's own power base, Samsung Chemical.

Samsung Chemical is a large enterprise that Lee Byung-chul personally handed over to his son Lee Jianxi to manage, and its status is second only to Samsung Electronics, Samsung Real Estate and other companies.

Li Jianxi took the initiative to invite Du Yongxiao to inspect the company he managed. The purpose was very simple, that is, to let Du Yongxiao see his management and leadership abilities, so that he could better negotiate with Du Yongxiao when showing his personal charm, and let Du Yongxiao take out money to save Samsung Electronics.

In this way, accompanied by Li Jianxi and senior executives of Samsung Chemical, Du Yongxiao and Jiang Ling'er, Yan Xiong, Zhuang Dingxian and others visited the headquarters of Samsung Chemical near the Han River.

At the company headquarters, Du Yongxiao and others were warmly welcomed by Li Jianxi and other senior leaders.

At the symposium held by Samsung Chemical to welcome Du Yongxiao, Du Yongxiao had in-depth exchanges with senior leaders such as President Li Jianxi.

Du Yongxiao introduced the history, development and future plans of the Du Group, as well as its advantages in foreign investment.

Du Yongxiao told Li Jianxi and others that the Du Group is now large in scale. In addition to the pillar industries of Phoenix Pharmaceuticals and Hengchuang Real Estate, there are also the acquired Hollywood film company Fox-Paramount, as well as the established PolyGram Records Company, Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Company, etc.

In recent years, in addition to continuing to diversify its development, the Du Group has always taken not going public as its business motto. Especially after the Hengchuang Real Estate crisis, Du Yongxiao and the Du Group's top management agreed that "the stock marketization of the company will lead to a lending crisis, which in turn will lead to a break in the capital chain, and ultimately lead to a stock market crash."

Du Yongxiao expressed the hope that Samsung Chemical can learn from the Du Group’s lessons and take protective measures in handling financial loans.

In fact, the words Du Yongxiao said were "clichés" from the previous life, but now they are "genuine insights".

In particular, Li Jianxi and others are not weak. They didn't pay much attention to Du Yongxiao's speech at first, just thinking about it as a formality.

I didn't expect that Du Yongxiao's words would be so "inspiring". They were so insightful that everyone was shocked and felt that they had gained a lot.

For a time, no one dared to underestimate this young man who founded a huge business empire at a young age. I started listening to Du Yongxiao’s lectures very carefully.

To be honest, Du Yongxiao is not very enthusiastic about teaching these people and giving them guidance. He even feels bored. However, Du Yongxiao also knows that he will win three stars in the future. In this case, he should train and win over these people first. It can be regarded as establishing a "teacher-student relationship".

Seeing the smile on Li Jianxi's face, Du Yongxiao also smiled and chatted and laughed with him. This extremely cold and shrewd business tycoon never imagined that Du Yongxiao was quietly setting a trap for him, preparing to poach the old Li family.

At the majestic oval hollow conference table, Du Yongxiao, representing the Hong Kong Du Group, and Li Jianxi, the representative, sat opposite each other. The two sides talked happily and the atmosphere was quite warm.

When the beautiful female staff at Samsung Chemical's headquarters are free, most of them secretly look at the young leader from Hong Kong's Du Group.

"Is it him?"

"Oh my god, he's so handsome!"

“It’s so aura!”

"Wow, I'm fascinated by him, what should I do?"

The female staff screamed.

Rumors have long spread in the company that the Hong Kong representative visiting this time is a famous Hong Kong tycoon, an international rich man who founded a huge business empire at a young age. It is said that in addition to being a business tycoon, he is also the first Chinese police commissioner in Hong Kong and a first-class earl of the British Empire——

By the way, this young man is also the youngest billionaire in the United States, and has been a "long-lasting friend" with the American tycoon Rockefeller!

The news spread like wildfire, and soon there was a storm of admiration throughout Samsung Chemical.

Du Yongxiao!

This super handsome young man from Hong Kong has completely ignited the hearts of female employees in these companies!

His appearance crushed all those Korean male celebrities, Korean business tycoons, and political figures under his feet, becoming a veritable "heart arsonist"!
