Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Tsuen Wan private villa——

After Du Yongxiao hung up the phone, he sat on the sofa and looked at Yan Xiong, who was studying the competition with the "Horse Book" out of boredom: "That Mr. Zha is so prestigious that he even invited Uncle Shao. I remember it well, Uncle Shao He is not the kind of person who is willing to help others easily. In the past, when I asked him to do something, he would push back and hold back, which was very unpleasant. This time, he even risked his life for the sake of retribution. "

"Dad, you didn't know this! It is said that many of the copyrights of the martial arts movies that were shot by Shaw Brothers were bought from Cha Liangyong. In addition, Cha Liangyong was also a wonderful man. After earning the copyright fees, he invested in Shaw Brothers In his movies, he made a lot of money. It can be said that the relationship between Cha Sheng and Shaw Brothers is very strong. You are in me and I am in you. It is not comparable to ordinary businessmen." He put down the Sutra, put the ball-point pen for making circles in the book, and said to Du Yongxiao in a very serious manner.

Du Yongxiao straightened his clothes in the dressing mirror and said, "No wonder Mr. Cha can work for Uncle Shao Liu. It turns out that the relationship between the two is so good! But I underestimated Mr. Cha, thinking that he was just a speculative scholar who knew how to write martial arts novels. , turned out to be a literary tycoon and a tycoon in the newspaper industry.”

"Tycoons can barely be counted, but tycoons can't be mentioned." Yan Xiong stood up and walked to Du Yongxiao. Looking at the high-spirited Du Yongxiao in the mirror, he admired: "In my eyes, there is only one and a half tycoons in Hong Kong——"

"Which one and a half?" Du Yongxiao asked suspiciously.

Yan Xiong pinched his chin and said seriously: "The other half is of course Huo Ying Dong Huo! He was able to take advantage of the fire. In the 1950s, he was proud of Xiangjiang, broke through the blockade of ghosts, and sailed across the world with one ship. I admire him very much! "

Du Yongxiao nodded, "Indeed! It's really difficult to achieve what he is! Li Jiacheng may be smart, but he is just a pure businessman. Li Zhaoji may be ruthless, but he is only limited to real estate. The chartering king, Zheng Yutong and others are also Very sharp, but a little less grand than Mr. Huo..."

Du Yongxiao rated them one by one.

Yan Xiong chuckled: "My godfather, you have a good opinion. These people are all heroes, but with Mr. Huo here, I can keep them under control."

"Then who is the one you are talking about?" Du Yongxiao turned around and asked.

Yan Xiong pointed to the mirror: "Hey, that's him!"

Du Yongxiao looked back and saw himself in the mirror. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you patting the horse again?"

Yan Xiong said hurriedly: "This is not flattery, this is from the bottom of my heart!"

Then he said: "No matter how powerful those people you just mentioned are, they are all a lot older. In terms of decisiveness in killing, in terms of aura, and in terms of intimidating power, they are all inferior to you! If nothing else, just your bloody Kill everyone with your hands and the nickname "Jing Street Tiger"!

Du Yongxiao couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Are you talking about me being too cruel? I have a murderous nature?"

"No! Heroes emerge in troubled times! And godfather, you are a well-deserved hero in troubled times! In many cases, perfect results can only be achieved through bloody means!" Yan Xiong's words were sonorous and powerful, and it can be seen that they came from the heart.

Du Yongxiao raised his eyebrows and said: "Times have changed! Now that the situation is stable, bloody methods are no longer needed, so everyone must abide by the law in everything they do. Come on, come with me. I want to act in accordance with the law!"

…

The prosperous area of ​​Wan Chai——

Huangji Restaurant.

Many years ago, this was not Wong Kee Restaurant, but Wong Kee Fish Ball Shop.

Huang Ying's father, Comrade Lao Huang, sells fish balls in a small shop. Huang Ying's younger brother helps run takeaways. The family is not rich, but it is very difficult.

Ever since Huang Ying followed Du Yongxiao and became Du Yongxiao's underground lover, earth-shaking changes have taken place inside and outside the Huang family.

First, Huang Ying served as Du Yongxiao, the personal secretary of the Commissioner of Police, with an annual salary of 130,000. However, later in order to avoid suspicion and prevent anyone from gossiping in the police station, mainly because Huang Ying was too beautiful, Du Yongxiao asked Huang Ying to resign her position as a female secretary and become a female secretary. Inspector is also the first Chinese female inspector in the history of Hong Kong.

Today, Huang Ying can be considered a powerful figure in the police force. She is in charge of the disciplinary department within the police. Many senior inspectors and senior superintendents have the handle in her hands, so no one dares to underestimate her as a woman.

Huang Ying's younger brother even joined Hengchuang Real Estate Company as the head of the materials department, mainly responsible for purchasing construction raw materials, which was a very lucrative position.

Of course, the richness mentioned here means that some people treat guests to eat and drink, and some people stuff money into them. Huang Ying's younger brother is quite sensible. He can eat and drink, but he always refuses to give money. He doesn't want to bring any hidden danger to his sister.

Therefore, Huang Ying's younger brother has a very good reputation in the company, even though he is a "parachute".

As for Mr. Huang, Du Yongxiao originally wanted to help him find a leisurely job to support his retirement, or simply do nothing to support his retirement.

However, the elderly people who came from this era are not willing to accept old age, and they are not willing to stay at home to eat and drink and wait to die.

So Du Yongxiao simply expanded his small store, bought all the surrounding stores, and gave them to Huang.

Father Huang knew that Du Yongxiao did this all because of his daughter.

His daughter had bought these things in exchange for her youth, so she didn't refuse them.

In this way, the originally small fish ball shop, which could accommodate at most three people, turned into "Huang Kee Restaurant" in the blink of an eye.

The splendid decoration of this restaurant was invested by Du Yongxiao after all, so he couldn't lose face.

From a distance, it's almost smaller than the famous Taibai Seafood Restaurant.

Old Huang is a businessman. He hired a chef who specializes in rich and noble dishes and private dishes, and does business with rich people.

In addition, Du Yongxiao's reputation is here, and many people come here to curry favor with Du Yongxiao. Gradually, it has become a gathering place for those rich people.

Old Huang made a lot of money from the restaurant, and he has a life to rely on in the second half of his life.

As for Du Yongxiao, he rarely comes here to eat. The reason is very simple. Old Huang is his cheap "father-in-law" anyway, how can he let him serve?

But today is an exception.

Du Yongxiao brought Yan Xiong here, and found a private room to drink a few glasses with Old Huang, Huang Ying's younger brother, and the restaurant manager.

Du Yongxiao's arrival made Old Huang, the cheap father-in-law, very excited.

Because he had always boasted to people that his daughter's boyfriend was Du Yongxiao, many people didn't believe it.

Especially the senior managers he hired in the restaurant, they had only heard of him, but had never seen Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao had not come, so everyone often teased Huang Laodi, saying that he was bragging. He probably just knew Du Yongxiao, and Du Yongxiao was not so close to him.

Today Du Yongxiao really came, and those people were stunned.

When Du Yongxiao toasted them, these people stood up and even spilled their drinks, and kept saying, "You're welcome! You're welcome!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Huang Laodi was really proud and satisfied, especially his vanity was fully satisfied.

For those restaurant executives, they never thought that one day they could drink with the famous police chief and super tycoon, and be toasted by him. They were so excited that they were incoherent and fidgety, and felt that they could brag about this incident today for the rest of their lives.

"I drank with Du Yongxiao, do you believe it?"

"Du Yongxiao toasted me, do you believe it?"

Du Yongxiao seemed approachable, but he actually had a strong aura, so everyone was very restrained in their excitement during the banquet, even Huang Laodi himself was the same. He could not act like a father-in-law to this cheap son-in-law, but instead poured tea and water for Du Yongxiao in person, like a servant.

Seeing Huang Laodi like this, this was also the reason why Du Yongxiao was unwilling to come here for dinner.

After a simple meal, Du Yongxiao found time to meet Huang Ying alone.

Since Huang Ying became a female inspector, she has been busier than Du Yongxiao, a busy man.

To put it more clearly, Huang Ying is now in charge of discipline within the police, and many illegal and disorderly matters are under her jurisdiction.

Although she is at the level of inspector on the surface, everyone knows that she has a close relationship with Du Yongxiao in private, and any incident will be reported directly to the Police Department.

For this reason, many senior police officers dared not look down on her, and those of lower ranks than her tried their best to curry favor with her.

Even though Huang Ying was a female comrade, she could not avoid being invited to dinner, so there must be a banquet every night, which made Huang Ying come back very late during this period.

…

At this time——

In Huang Ying's boudoir——

"It's rare that you come to dinner, my father has been looking forward to this day for a long time! But no one comes to see me for no reason, what do you want to see me for?" Huang Ying lifted her hair on her forehead with her hand, stood in front of the window and looked at Zhuang Dingxian standing next to Du Yongxiao's Bentley car on the street in the distance, and then looked at Du Yongxiao standing next to her with a slightly drunk posture, and asked softly.

Du Yongxiao turned his head and looked at Huang Ying for a while, then retracted his gaze and continued to look at the empty street: "Being a female inspector is indeed different from before."

"What's different?" Huang Ying looked at Du Yongxiao.

"I've matured, and my tone of voice has become stronger."

"Didn't you think I was too gentle before? Besides, if I don't speak a little more firmly in my position, I can't suppress those big men!"

Huang Ying said, and handed a glass of water to Du Yongxiao: "Drink a glass of water first. No matter how tough I am, I will always be a little woman who helps you pour tea and water in front of you."

Du Yongxiao took the water cup, smiled at Huang Ying, and looked at Huang Ying's bedroom: "Are you a little woman? The decoration of this bedroom doesn't look like it. There is even a portrait of the Queen of England hanging. What, do you want to be the Queen too?"

Huang Ying's bedroom is very monotonous. A bookcase, a wardrobe, a desk, a single bed, a bedside table, and a pot of green plants on the windowsill are all this bedroom has.

In addition, there is a bust of the Queen of England hanging on the wall on one side of the bedroom, and a calligraphy and painting with the words: "Eliminate evil and promote good".

No wonder Du Yongxiao said that she doesn't look like a little woman. Which girl's bedroom would be decorated like this? It's more like saying this is the police interrogation room.

"You know, I wanted to be a police officer when I was very young! It's especially difficult to be an excellent policewoman in Hong Kong, so I decorated my bedroom like this to remind myself to seize opportunities and seize the present moment." Huang Ying rolled her eyes at Du Yongxiao and continued, "Besides, you are the Commissioner of Police. You should praise me for seeing my bedroom like this!"

"I know you love the profession of police, so if one day I ask you to give it up, are you willing?" Du Yongxiao took a sip of water and asked.

Huang Ying shrugged, walked back to the desk, pulled out a chair and sat down, and continued to record the work that needed to be handled tomorrow in the notebook, saying, "Are you kidding me, or are you testing me? Give up being a police officer, what are you going to do, open a restaurant with my dad, and be a waitress?"

"Besides being a police officer, there are many things you can do, but I don't know if you are willing?" Du Yongxiao touched his nose and asked again.

Huang Ying's writing pen paused, she turned around, sat on the chair and looked at Du Yongxiao: "What exactly do you want to say? I don't want to be a policeman, how can you support me?"

"I just hope you can help me again." Du Yongxiao slowly drank the warm tea: "Quit your job as a female inspector and help me run the newspaper."

"Huh?" Huang Ying was stunned, turning the pen in her hand, and asked in confusion: "Running a newspaper? You mean "Oriental Daily"?"

Du Yongxiao invested in Oriental Daily. When the Ma brothers founded it, they were blackmailed by Du Yongxiao and got some equity in the newspaper.

Du Yongxiao didn't answer her. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and looked at the bedroom environment, as if he was lost in thought.

Huang Ying stood up and opened the bedroom door, turned around and took an empty cup from outside to use as an ashtray and placed it on the windowsill next to Du Yongxiao. She waved her finger in front of Du Yongxiao's eyes: "Hello?"

"You should have heard about which newspaper has been at odds with me recently." Du Yongxiao flicked the ashes into the water glass and said to Huang Ying.

Huang Ying looked at Du Yongxiao's face: "Is it Ming Pao?"

"You guessed it! It's Ming Pao!" Du Yongxiao held a cigarette between his fingers and said with a half-smile: "This newspaper has been jumping very high recently. They thought that I, Du Yongxiao, was a vegetarian, and they collectively attacked me. Now, I'm here for them. If you act like this, this newspaper will go bankrupt soon. The only chance they have of redemption is to sell their equity to me, and I plan to hand it over to you."

"Leave it to me? Can I do it? I have only been a policeman, never ran a newspaper..." Huang Ying was stunned for a moment: "If I mess it up then, it will be really embarrassing."

"You have been my female secretary, so of course you have no problem with writing. You have also been a female inspector of the disciplinary department, and you are also very experienced in handling discipline. Then you will treat the newspaper office as a small police force and manage it according to the police force. Just use the model to manage it!" Du Yongxiao said to Huang Ying.

Huang Ying frowned: "But..."

"No buts! In my mind, you are the best candidate. Do you know why?" Du Yongxiao smiled at Huang Ying.

"Why?" Huang Ying was puzzled.

"Because you are my woman!" Du Yongxiao stretched out his hand to pull Huang Ying into his arms, looked into her eyes and said: "Only my woman will not betray me! Only my woman deserves to have such a name as a newspaper tycoon. head."

"Newspaper tycoon?"

"Yes!" Du Yongxiao stroked Huang Ying's cheek and looked at her affectionately, "In the future, you will be the number one female tycoon in Hong Kong!"

Huang Ying was a little fascinated by Du Yongxiao's eyes, "Why do you trust me so much?"

"I said it, because you are my woman!" Du Yongxiao said, "You know, in fact, what I have always been most afraid of is the machine of public opinion. They are so terrifying. The pen of a scholar can kill people, and it can also kill people. !”

Du Yongxiao said word by word: "So I have planned for a long time, that is, to ascend the literary world! Only when I can control the entire public opinion in Hong Kong will I truly be able to say what I say! And now, winning Ming Pao is my final step. step!"

After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, he looked at Huang Ying, "Are you willing to help me?"

Huang Ying didn't even think about it and uttered two words: "Yes!"

Du Yongxiao smiled and held Huang Ying in his arms, "If you help me, you will have to resign from the position of female inspector. This is your dream."

"I'm willing to give up my dreams for your dreams."

Du Yongxiao nodded, "If you tell me this, how can I reward you?"

Huang Ying's eyes were as charming as silk: "What do you think?"

Du Yongxiao smiled, "No need to guess, just do it!"

After saying that, he picked up Huang Ying directly.
