Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

7pm——

Lee Byung-cheol, chairman of South Korea's Samsung Group, hosted a banquet for Du Yongxiao and his party at the Shilla Hotel.

As a guide, Li Jianxi certainly would not miss this opportunity to shine. When Du Yongxiao came out of the Seoul Hotel to prepare for the banquet, he himself had been waiting at the door of the hotel for a long time.

Seeing Du Yongxiao coming out, Li Jianxi immediately stepped forward and shook hands with Du Yongxiao cordially: "Mr. Du, let me lead the way to the hotel this time! We are good friends, aren't we?"

Du Yongxiao smiled: "Of course."

The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding.

Now they are on the same page.

Du Yongxiao wanted to invest in Samsung and dig into its foundation.

Li Jianxi wants to use Du Yongxiao's power to save Samsung Electronics and inherit the Samsung Group.

The two of them have their own needs, and of course they are very friendly friends on the surface.

Du Yongxiao and the others got into the car.

Li Jianxi personally drove the car to lead the way.

It took about twenty minutes to arrive at the Shilla Hotel.

This hotel was invested by Samsung Group. In the future, the hotel failed to operate and suffered serious losses, so Li Jianxi handed it over to his daughter Li Fuzhen to take care of it. Originally, it was just to find something for her daughter to do.

Who would have known that Li Fu was such a strong woman that she brought the Shilla Hotel back to life. In comparison, her brother Li Zaiyong, who would inherit the throne in the future, eclipsed him. Under his management, his father’s headquarters, Samsung Chemical, was Almost bankrupt.

This has also led to Li Fuzhen becoming a strong competitor of Li Zaiyong in the future. Many people speculate that Li Jianxi will pass the chairmanship to his super capable daughter.

At this moment, Li Fuzhen made the biggest mistake and fell in love with Im Youzai, a personal bodyguard and driver who used to take her to school. Her eldest brother Li Zaiyong immediately came to help her, expressing his appreciation and support for his sister's free love. concept, encouraging her to boldly pursue happiness.

In this way, the love-minded Li Fuzhen was directly plotted by her biological eldest brother. In order to marry her bodyguard Ren Youzai, she fell out with her father Li Jianxi. In the end, she was directly deprived of her inheritance rights by her father, thus taking advantage of her biological eldest brother.

It can be said that the tiger father has no dog sons.

Lee Jae-yong's strategy of Yang Mian is based on his father Li Jianxi's skill in mathematics.

The convoy stopped.

Li Jianxi got out of the car enthusiastically and opened the door for Du Yongxiao regardless of his identity.

Li Bingzhe, his two sons, and senior executives of Samsung Group were all waiting at the door of the hotel.

Li Bingzhe witnessed this third son's behavior with his own eyes, and there was no emotion on his face.

It seems that Li Jianxi's loss of face has nothing to do with him.

In fact, Li Bingzhe agrees with this.

Today's Samsung Group is the first large company in South Korea. The Lee family and his son are like an imperial family, and many people respect them extremely.

But Li Bingzhe is a veteran. When he founded Samsung Grocery Store, in order to attract Japanese people to patronize and buy their rice, noodles, grains and oils, not to mention opening doors for Japanese people like Li Jianxi, he even shined their shoes himself.

It's just that the people Li Jianxi serves now have changed from Japanese to Chinese.

Li Mengxi and Li Changxi looked at their third brother being so "useless" with contempt in their eyes.

"Uh-huh, what is that? You are so humble and flattering to a Chinese!" Li Mengxi spat.

"Didn't he ask for help!" Li Changxi rubbed his nose angrily, "If people have money, he will provide for them as if they are his uncle! Isn't his main purpose to inherit our Samsung?"

While the two were talking quietly, Li Jianxi came over with Du Yongxiao and the others.

"Father, let me introduce you! This is Mr. Du Yongxiao Du from Hong Kong!"

"Mr. Du, this is my father and the chairman of our Samsung Group!"

Li Jianxi acted as the introducer and introduced him enthusiastically.

Li Bingzhe stepped forward and extended his hand to Du Yongxiao: "Hello, Mr. Du, this is Li Bingzhe! Welcome to Seoul!"

"Hello, President Li! I have long admired your name!"

Du Yongxiao shook hands with Li Bingzhe and looked at each other at the same time.

Li Bingzhe was surprised that Du Yongxiao was so young and handsome. He was even more star-like than many male stars in Korea. Looking at Du Yongxiao's temperament, he is not timid at all when facing a big man like him. On the contrary, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he has a surge of energy.

Du Yongxiao was surprised by how kind and ordinary Li Bingzhe was. He looked like the kind-hearted grandfather next door, and his smile gave people a very warm feeling. Who would have thought that this man, who was so powerful and powerful, would not even spare his own son if he was ruthless? However, he directly asked the other party to go to jail on his behalf, and even disabled his son for this.

"This is my eldest brother Li Mengxi, and my second brother Li Changxi!" Li Jianxi continued to introduce.

Li Mengxi and Li Changxi shook hands with Du Yongxiao respectively in a very unfriendly manner.

Du Yongxiao didn't take these two fools seriously either. How stupid could he be compared to his own brother?

Then came the senior executives of Samsung.

This time Du Yongxiao paid attention. When he introduced Kim Jong-ki, the "godfather of Korean chips", Du Yongxiao looked at him a few more times -——

Same as described in the information -——

He is thin, in his thirties, with gray hair, and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looks a bit serious, stubborn, or dull.

Du Yongxiao smiled at him and said, "Professor Jin, right? I'm very familiar with you. I heard that you were very unhappy at Samsung. I don't know if it's true or not?"

"Uh, how is that possible? I never said that!" Kim Jong-ki said in surprise.

He didn't expect that Du Yongxiao would take the initiative to talk to him, let alone that Du Yongxiao would say such words.

At this time, Li Bingzhe, his son and others were looking at him with different expressions.

"Really? Maybe I heard it wrong. I heard people say that Professor Jin likes to complain, saying that he worries about research and development. His hair has turned white in his thirties, but his salary is always not good in all aspects."

Du Yongxiao's words were clearly digging a hole for Kim Jong-ki. An ordinary person would have laughed it off. Without explaining too much, he could fool him by just saying "Mr. Du, you must have remembered the wrong person."

However, Kim Jong-ki is a scholar, not a scheming person. When he heard this, he immediately blushed and explained: "No, I didn't say these things. I just said that the company is always fastidious in doing research and development, but eating and drinking is very... OK! If you can give me more money, I will definitely speed up the research and development!”

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion on the scene.

Li Bingzhe's kind face instantly turned gloomy.

Li Mengxi, Li Changxi and Li Jianxi looked ugly.

Eat and drink?

Doesn’t this mean that their father and son only know how to eat and drink, but not R\u0026D?

This is a slap in the face in public!

When Kim Jong-ki saw the reaction from those around him, he knew that he was wrong. He hurriedly waved his hands and said to Li Bingzhe: "President, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that the expenses that the group did not need were too large. For example, last time you celebrated your birthday, , it just cost too much money, it’s unnecessary! Ahem, that’s me——”

The more Kim Jong-ki tried to remedy the situation, the worse it got.

Du Yongxiao seems to know why this person will be called the "Korean Chip Godfather" in the future, and can train hundreds of semiconductor talents, but he is always only a professor and cannot become a famous semiconductor tycoon. This emotional intelligence is too urgent!

Sure enough, Li Bingzhe's face was already gloomy and ugly.

If it were Li Bingzhe who was in the entrepreneurial period, he would not necessarily be angry when he heard these words, because he knew that there is a saying that "good steel is used on the steel blade." But now Li Bingzhe, like many founders, has changed his thinking after becoming rich. , especially in terms of consumption concepts, there will be a kind of "I have worked hard all my life, why can't I enjoy it?"

For this reason, last time Li Byung-cheol celebrated his sixty-eighth birthday, he was "extravagant". Not only did he hold a banquet in Silla, he also invited handsome guys and beauties from the Korean entertainment industry to celebrate his birthday. The momentum was so great that even " Chosun Ilbo reported on it for three consecutive days.

Afterwards, although Li Bingzhe himself felt that his birthday was a bit extravagant, especially when Samsung Electronics was still in a financial crisis, it seemed wrong for him to do so, but no one said it, and no one dared to mention it.

Vaguely, Li Bingzhe no longer blamed himself, thinking that it was just this once, just a luxury. Compared with his hard work for so many years, these were just drizzle.

But today, in front of so many people, this stupid Kim Jong-ki criticized himself in person. How could he bear it?

For a moment, Li Bingzhe seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashed, his face calmed down again, and he took the initiative to walk towards Kim Jong-ki.

Kim Jong-ki knew that he was wrong again and again. He was already trembling with fear. He took off his glasses and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Seeing Li Byung-cheol approaching, he was even more frightened.

Li Jianxi and others were waiting for Li Bingxian to be furious. Some people felt sorry for the stupid professor. Of course, some people were gloating and waiting to watch the excitement.

Li Byung-cheol walked up to Kim Jong-ki.

Kim Jong-ki was speechless and wanted to explain, but Li Byung-cheol held his hand: "I'm sorry, Professor Kim! It's all my fault!"

"Well?"

"I shouldn't have misappropriated the company's funds to do my own things, let alone live a lavish birthday! These are all my fault, you reminded me! Now I promise in front of you that I will give priority to Funds are used in chip research and development..."

Li Bingzhe's scene shocked everyone.

"Father, you-"

"Mr. President!"

The guys don't know what to say.

Du Yongxiao looked at Li Bingzhe and felt the strength of the other party for the first time.

this,

It's a powerful enemy!

…

Although it was their first contact, Du Yongxiao and Li Bingzhe had already secretly clashed with each other.

On the surface, Li Bingzhe had a friendly attitude towards Du Yongxiao. Not only did he lead the senior management to personally welcome Du Yongxiao, but he also prepared a sumptuous dinner for Du Yongxiao. In fact, he had begun to be wary of Du Yongxiao. In particular, the smiley-faced knife trick Du Yongxiao had just performed had made Li Bingxian realize the insidiousness of this young man. .

Of course, through this trial, Du Yongxiao also found out the true nature of this seemingly kind old man. He was thoughtful and could admit his mistakes in public without losing face, and win people's hearts at the same time. This shows that this person's blackness has been cultivated to a certain level.

Facing this heroic old man, Du Yongxiao certainly would not have the emotions of "respectable", "admirable", etc. that were mentioned in Korean and foreign media reports.

Du Yongxiao only hoped that through his meeting with him, he could learn more about the methods of dealing with these old foxes who dominated Korea.

Overall, Du Yongxiao was quite satisfied with his performance. In the following meeting with Li Bingzhe, Du Yongxiao briefly introduced the development history and investment advantages of Du Group as usual, and talked about various aspects of Du Group's overseas investments. kind of achievement.

Originally, these were just stage words, but what surprised Li Bingzhe was that Du Yongxiao did not talk about it in a big way as usual, but gave the example of Du Group's investment in Fox-Paramount Film Company in the United States.

Du Yongxiao talked about how the two film companies went from losses to profits, thus surpassing their previous glory and achieving success. Naturally, some investment policies of the Du Group were involved. Through this legendary story, the advantages and strategies of the Du Group in investment were all hinted at, which was very impressive.

Although Lee Byung-hun didn't like Du Yongxiao, the treacherous little fox, he and his three sons, as well as the Samsung Group's delegation, listened with great interest.

After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, Li Bingzhe smiled and said, "Mr. Du is indeed not an ordinary person. He can tell such a boring investment event as a story, and we all listen with great interest. But there seems to be a key point that you did not mention--"

"I would like to hear more about it." Du Yongxiao pretended to be humble and asked for advice, "In this way, we can learn from each other and make progress together, right?"

Li Bingzhe took a sip of coffee and smiled slightly: "That is, the dominance of these two film companies has changed from being controlled by Americans to being controlled by you, right?"

Du Yongxiao shrugged: "That is indeed the case. But why not?"

"Why not? For our Samsung Group, the loss of dominance of any subsidiary represents the incompetence of us managers!" Li Bingzhe spoke loudly, and there was a silence at the scene.

Li Bingzhe stared at Du Yongxiao quietly, like an old tiger, dormant in the grass hunting a fox.

The atmosphere became tense.

Some timid people didn't even dare to breathe.

Li Jianxi couldn't help but jump out at this time.

After all, he brought Du Yongxiao here. If his father Li Bingzhe said this, wouldn't it mean that he was inviting a wolf into the house?

"Father, don't get me wrong. Mr. Du came to Seoul this time to help us. How could he want to take our Samsung Electronics management rights?"

Li Bingzhe didn't answer.

The eldest brother Li Mengxi said: "Third brother, are you still stubborn? Don't you see who he is? How could he be so kind to help us?"

"Yes, third brother, you are obsessed with ghosts, don't you think about who Du Yongxiao is? Fox and Paramount were both taken over by him. These are all lessons from the past!" said the second brother Li Changxi.

"Father, elder brother, second brother--" Li Jianxi didn't know what to say, so he turned his head to look at Du Yongxiao, "Mr. Du, you are not really like that, are you? You will not take our management rights when you invest in Samsung Electronics, right?"

In the public eye--

Du Yongxiao smiled, he took a sip of coffee, looked at Li Jianxi, then looked at Li Bingzhe, and then glanced at everyone at Samsung and said: "I am here to invest, not to do charity--you tell me, do I want the management rights of Samsung or not?"
