Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

The Samsung Hotel is luxuriously decorated and well-equipped. In this era, its quality is comparable to the Seoul Hotel invested by Yankees.

When Du Yongxiao led everyone into the hotel, Li Jianxi, the president of Samsung Group Chemical Company, quickly greeted——

"Mr. Du, you are here!"

Li Jianxi and Du Yongxiao are also old friends. They have known each other since they were in Thailand, and this time Du Yongxiao visited South Korea, it was also Li Jianxi who took the lead.

"I was invited to come and have a look, sorry for disturbing you!" Du Yongxiao shook hands with Li Jianxi.

"Where is it! You can come and make the Samsung Hotel shine!" Li Jianxi said and shook hands with others.

After introducing everyone, Li Jianxi said to Du Yongxiao: "Today is a big day. In addition to our Samsung Group, there are also Hyundai, Lotte, LG, SK, Hanjin Group, etc. I will be the middleman to help you later. Can you give me some recommendations?”

"Of course!" Du Yongxiao said with a smile, "I came here today just to make friends. There is an old saying in China that there are close friends in the sea, and there are neighbors in the world. The more friends, the better, the more the better, hahaha!"

Seeing Du Yongxiao laughing heartily, Li Jianxi couldn't help but praise him in his heart. He was indeed a hero. He came here today to act as the villain and was laughed at, but he could still talk and laugh like this. It was amazing.

"In that case, come, let me introduce you to Lotte President and Chairman Sing Hao!" Li Jianxi said, leading Du Yongxiao and others towards a certain place.

Li Jianxi knew about Du Yongxiao's grievances with Hyundai Group, so he deliberately avoided it and introduced Du Yongxiao to Lotte first.

Du Yongxiao's understanding of Lotte Group and Singhao and his son was still based on the "father and son having fun" incident in which the father and son played with a female star in the previous life.

It is said that after the female star named Jang Ja-yeon committed suicide, the diary she left behind revealed that the father and son were "kindred spirits" and both liked to play sadistic games. This caused an uproar in South Korea, and Lotte's stock price also fell. Father and son were in a panic.

Now that he has the opportunity to see this magical father and son, Du Yongxiao is full of curiosity.

"Hello, this is Mr. Sing Ho, Chairman of Lotte!"

"President Xin, this is Mr. Du Yongxiao Du from Hong Kong!"

Li Jianxi introduced Du Yongxiao to a skinny old man in a very gentlemanly manner.

The old man was thin, wearing glasses, and polite. He was not as vulgar as Du Yongxiao imagined. On the contrary, he was sanctimonious, with his hands behind his back, looking like a big shot.

After Li Jianxi finished the introduction, Xinghao slowly extended his hand to Du Yongxiao and said: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Du!"

Du Yongxiao glanced at him and then held it more arrogantly: "Nice to meet you, President Xin."

Du Yongxiao's arrogant attitude and slightly contemptuous eyes made Xinghao very angry.

After all, he is also one of the top ten chaebols in the Republic of Korea. No one has ever dared to underestimate him. Even the three-star emperor Lee Byung-cheol and the Blue House leader Park Chung-hee still have a high opinion of him. What's more, a young Chinese like Do Yongxiao?

"Hmph!" Xinghao snorted coldly, "Young people should not be too arrogant. Being too arrogant will easily lead to disadvantages!"

Du Yongxiao smiled, "A person must be virtuous, and only those with virtue will have a position. Otherwise, if the virtue is not worthy of the position, you will be scolded!"

"What did you say? What do you mean?" Xinghao was completely angered by Du Yongxiao.

Doesn't Du Yongxiao scold him for being immoral?

Du Yongxiao shrugged: "I'm sorry, I thought President Xin was exchanging verses with me, so I casually said, if I offend you, please forgive me!"

Li Jianxi rolled his eyes as he watched.

He didn't understand how Du Yongxiao, a calm and reserved young man, could become so arrogant and rude when he saw President Xin?

As for Xinghao's attitude towards Du Yongxiao, he could imagine it. After all, Du Yongxiao, a foreign plutocrat, was not well received by the big guys in South Korea.

Seeing Du Yongxiao like this, Xinghao couldn't say anything more, but he didn't want to say anything more to people like Du Yongxiao, so he left on the pretext of having something to do.

Li Jianxi smiled bitterly. He didn't know what to say when he saw Du Yongxiao. He deliberately built a bridge to introduce friends to Du Yongxiao. Du Yongxiao also said just now that the more friends the better, but he was obviously provoking on purpose. How could he be making friends? Friends, you are clearly making enemies!

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Li Jianxi's face, Du Yongxiao said indifferently: "Even if you want to make friends, you still have to make friends with others. Forget about those with low moral character!"

Li Jianxi smiled bitterly again, "How can there be so many noble gentlemen in this world? We are all villains. We just do some homework well, which is not visible on the surface."

Du Yongxiao stared at Li Jianxi, "You are right!"

There were also many rumors about Li Jianxi in his previous life. It was said that he was more playful than Singhao and his son.

Li Jianxi was stared at by Du Yongxiao like this, and suddenly he felt that the other person's eyes were as sharp as knives, and he was about to see through his heart.

A heart palpitation.

Li Jianxi felt fear for the first time.

He had encountered this kind of fear before when he faced his father Li Bingzhe, but it was only out of fear of his father's authority. Unlike now, Du Yongxiao's eyes were like a superior judge, and he was a prisoner waiting for trial...

Du Yongxiao averted his gaze, and Li Jianxi suddenly felt that the pressure he felt just now disappeared instantly.

He shook his head, wondering if it was just a dream?

Du Yongxiao didn't give him a chance to think, "Is there anything else? Since you have made an enemy, you must at least make a friend!"

Li Jianxi came to his senses and said hurriedly: "There is another one, he is the chairman of Hanjin Group, Zhao Lianghao!"

Du Yongxiao was slightly startled, thinking that this name seemed very familiar, as if this chairman had a daughter who was a traitor. What was her name?

Just when Du Yongxiao was thinking, Li Jianxi had already led him to a square-faced man and introduced him: "Come, let's meet! This is the chairman of Hanjin Group Zhao Lianghao, and this is Mr. Du Yongxiao, the president of Hong Kong Du Group!"

Du Yongxiao shook hands with the square-faced man, "Hello, Chairman Zhao! By the way, do you have a beloved daughter named Zhao Xian'e?"

Zhao Lianghao was stunned. He looked at Du Yongxiao in surprise and said: "Mr. Du seems to be very familiar with our Zhao family. I do have an eldest daughter named Zhao Xian'e, who just turned ten this year!"

Du Yongxiao smiled: "Treat her well, she will give you blessings!"

Bottom blessings!

The last time the great Hanjin Group was brought down by Cho Hyun-ah, the prodigal daughter, the incident that happened was the "nut gate incident" that was talked about by the Korean people and even the international people.

In the previous life, Hanjin Group was an international logistics and transportation group company headquartered in Seoul.

Founded in 1945, Hanjin Group was once one of the largest shipping logistics and transportation companies in South Korea and one of the Fortune Global 500 companies.

Hanjin Group once had a container fleet throughout major ports around the world. After the shipping business went bankrupt, it still has air routes and logistics networks. .

Hanjin Shipping, a subsidiary of Hanjin Group, was once the world's seventh largest shipping group.

Korean Air, acquired in 1969, is the largest airline in South Korea.

On December 5, 2014, Cho Hyun-ah took a Korean Air flight from New York's Kennedy Airport to Incheon. Dissatisfied with the fact that the stewardess did not put nuts on a plate but gave her a whole bag, she was furious and asked the captain to turn the plane back to the boarding gate and kick the crew member off the plane. The flight was delayed for 20 minutes, which became the famous "nut return" incident.

Affected by the "nut gate incident", Hanjin Group's stock plummeted.

Three years later, the South Korean court announced that Hanjin Shipping, a subsidiary of Hanjin, would be bankrupt, and the remaining assets would be gradually auctioned after liquidation. Its original position as the largest in South Korea would also be replaced by Hyundai Shipping.

Suffering a huge blow, Cho Yang-ho, chairman of Hanjin Group, was hospitalized.

At the shareholders' meeting on March 27, 2019, Cho Yang-ho's proposal to re-elect as a director was rejected by the meeting. On April 7, 2019, Cho Yang-ho died of illness in a hospital in Los Angeles, USA, at the age of 70. A spokesperson for the company said he died of worsening lung disease.

But according to insiders, the final cause of death of the chairman of Hanjin Group was anger! His two daughters and one son were all unpromising. The huge Hanjin Group was almost bankrupted by them. He even lost his position as chairman and lost face. It was a joke to live.

At this moment, Zhao Lianghao looked at Du Yongxiao in surprise, not understanding why Du Yongxiao said that.

"Oh, of course I love my daughter very much. She is simply an angel given to me by God! She is so cute. Every time I go home, I have to hug her--Mr. Du, you are still very young, and you probably can't experience the happiness of being a parent."

The original text is available at Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

Du Yongxiao smiled: "No, I have a child, but I don't spoil him! I hope he will be a good child in the future and contribute to society."

"You're right, haha! I don't spoil him either! My daughter is also very well-behaved. She said she wants to be an artist in the future! Hahaha, look at how ambitious she is!" Zhao Lianghao didn't realize that Du Yongxiao had something to say, and Du Yongxiao wouldn't tell him directly that you will be cheated by your daughter in the future, and she will directly cheat you to death, so that you can't even be the president.

"That's good, I really hope that Zhao Xian'e can be an artist happily in the future, and never ask for nuts on the plane-"

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"Nothing, the child's teeth are developing, and eating too many nuts is not good."

"Thank you Mr. Du for your concern, I will remind her, hehe!"

Looking at this silly father, Du Yongxiao didn't want to say anything more.

In general, apart from the fact that his children are not very capable, Zhao Lianghao has a good reputation among all chaebols. Even if he is investigated for embezzling public funds in the future, the reason is "to make his family live a better life."

To be honest, Zhao Lianghao has a very good impression of Du Yongxiao.

Although Samsung convened the chaebol meeting this time, the purpose is to unite against the outside world and deal with Du Yongxiao, a hungry wolf from outside.

Du Yongxiao's personal style made Zhao Lianghao's eyes light up. In addition, Du Yongxiao's huge financial resources and amazing interpersonal relationships, if it were not for his daughter Zhao Xian'e who was only ten years old, he would really be willing to marry Du Yongxiao and marry his daughter to Du Yongxiao.

Maybe it's okay to wait another seven or eight years. By then, Xian'e will be eighteen years old, and Mr. Du will only be in his thirties. As long as he is not married, they will be a good match.

As for why Du Yongxiao has a son and who gave birth to his son, he doesn't consider it at all. As a chaebol, why consider those things? As long as the family is well matched, it's fine.

Du Yongxiao had no idea that President Zhao would like him. He just felt his nose itchy and couldn't help sneezing.

Jiang Ling'er held Du Yongxiao's arm and teased: "You seem to care about her daughter, but you don't care about your son?"

Du Yongxiao smiled and said: "I will definitely do so in the future."

Thinking of Xiao Tangyuan, Du Yongxiao felt guilty.

Jiang Ling'er took him to Thailand after he was born. Now that he is two years old, he has really not fulfilled his obligation as a father.

Recalling what he had just said to Zhao Lianghao, Du Yongxiao felt even more guilty.

Li Jianxi saw clearly from the side and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Du Yongxiao and Zhao Lianghao hit it off immediately.

If Du Yongxiao gets into trouble with Zhao Lianghao again, he really doesn't know what to say.

Next, Li Jianxi introduced Du Yongxiao to Chairman SK, Chairman LG and others.

Du Yongxiao was deeply impressed by the LG Group.

LG was very good at phone communications in its previous life. It was once tied for the top with Samsung Electronics. Unfortunately, in the end, LG made a mistake in its decision-making and fell a big step behind in mobile phones, allowing Samsung to dominate the world and become the world's best-selling company.

Du Yongxiao also used an LG mobile phone in his last life. It felt exquisite, but it was still a bit boring in terms of content manipulation. This was the main reason why LG ultimately lost to Samsung.

The chairman of LG Group is Koo Bonmoo, a thirty-four-year-old man in his prime. Compared with the big guys in front of him, the one in front of him was taller, with a loud voice, and his squinting eyes revealed his entrepreneurial shrewdness.

Du Yongxiao admired this person very much. The reason was very simple. This person was far-sighted, not limited to the family business, and dared to let go of the power of the business to outsiders.

Even before his death, a meeting was held to discuss handing over the management of the company to professional managers rather than to members of their family, but this was ultimately abandoned because the other directors did not approve.

The Korean people also think highly of him. While many chaebols are trying to divert high inheritance taxes, he ordered his family to pay all the inheritance taxes of more than 4 billion yuan.

In addition, Koo Bonmoo is also the most friendly Korean entrepreneur to China. He not only invests and builds factories in the mainland, but also donates immediately during many disasters. Therefore, he is known as a good friend of the Chinese.

"Hello Mr. Du, I didn't expect you to be so young!"

It has been exactly ten years since Koo Benmoo took over power from his father in 1969. He was as young as Du Yongxiao back then. When he saw Du Yongxiao, he couldn't help but think of his former self, and he felt a fondness for him.

"Hello, Chairman Gu! It's not easy to manage such a large group, especially for a young and promising person like you..." Du Yongxiao shook hands with Gu Benmao, and they expressed sympathy in their words.

This scene made Li Jianxi surprised. Why did it feel like Du Yongxiao and Gu Benmoo had known each other for a long time?

even--

Seeing Du Yongxiao and Gu Benmoo happily meeting each other,

Li Jianxi even felt vaguely——

Jealous!
