Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Hong Kong,

International Airport——

A foreigner in a windbreaker walked out of the airport quickly with his assistant.

Outside the airport, a series of Rolls-Royces were waiting.

"Mr. Soros, Mr. Du has prepared a family dinner for you at home."

She was talking about Huang Ying, Du Yongxiao's closest woman. Now she has a very important status. She is not only the president of Ming Pao, but also a famous strong woman in Hong Kong and a female boss in the newspaper industry.

However, compared with these identities, Huang Ying still likes others to call her the woman behind Du Yongxiao.

And Huang Ying also likes to help Du Yongxiao with some private matters, such as coming to pick up Soros at the airport.

In addition to some bodyguards, there are also senior executives of the Du Group following Huang Ying, which shows how much Du Yongxiao attaches importance to Soros's arrival this time.

Soros glanced at the series of Rolls-Royces, attracting passers-by to stop and watch. He shrugged and said, "Dear Du really gave me face by getting so many luxury cars. It must be very impressive to sit in them."

Huang Ying quickly replied in a serious tone, "Mr. Soros, you are a distinguished guest. Mr. Du said that we must welcome you with the greatest pomp and circumstance. This is the greatest courtesy to you!"

Soros nodded, "You Chinese people pay attention to etiquette, I understand this, but as far as I know, Mr. Du has always been low-key and doesn't like to do this kind of thing, but today he arranged it so grandly. I guess it was intentional, right?"

Huang Ying laughed, "Mr. Soros is really extraordinary. Mr. Du can't hide anything from you. Please get in the car!"

"Hahaha! It seems that Mr. Du really wants people to know that I came to Hong Kong from the United States!" Soros said something with a hint of meaning, and then got in the car.

The luxury convoy was as mighty as a long dragon, attracting attention, and slowly left the airport.

Everyone looked sideways——

"Who is this? Such a grand ceremony?"

"It looks like the Du Group is picking someone up!"

"Picking someone up? Guests from the United States? What is the Du Group doing?"

Everyone was talking and began to imagine wildly.

And this news began to spread.

Hong Kong is a small place after all.

In Hong Kong, the poor live in tube buildings, the middle class live in high-rise buildings, and the rich live in the mountains.

Among the mountains.

The Peak is where the real celebrities of Hong Kong live.

In this era, anyone with status is proud to live in the Peak. It is also an honor to be neighbors with those rich people and foreigners.

Living here, you can overlook the entire Hong Kong and Victoria Harbour, and you have a sense of superiority invisibly.

However, the Peak of Victoria Peak in this era is not a place that ordinary people can live in. It is not just about having money. For example, the former Chief Chinese Detective Lei Luo was not qualified to live in such a place. For example, Li Jiacheng, the tycoon of Cheung Kong Industry, although he was rich, was not qualified to live in this era and could only live along the road of Victoria Peak.

The Peak of Victoria Peak is where the Governor of Hong Kong and the foreigners in Bailiqu live.

They like to be high above and crush the Chinese.

Until one person appeared, this situation was broken, that is, Du Yongxiao.

As the first Chinese police chief, Du Yongxiao has an unparalleled status and status. He himself is the first earl of the British Empire appointed by the British royal family. Of course, he is qualified to live on the Peak!

In addition, Du Yongxiao has the temperament of a chaebol and owns the Du Group, which is rich enough to rival a country. So some people say that the Hong Kong in front of us belongs half to the foreigners and half to Du Yongxiao! Even the Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, has to give Du Yongxiao enough face.

Others think this sentence is exaggerated, but only those in the real core circle of Hong Kong know that this sentence is not only not exaggerated at all, but even restrained.

As the era of the four major detectives came to an end, Du Yongxiao began to rectify the Hong Kong police force. Not only did he have connections in both the black and white worlds, he also had unparalleled wealth. Such a Du Yongxiao was honored as the "Emperor of Hong Kong", and he could be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand!

Today, the villa where Du Yongxiao lives is built on the top of Victoria Peak.

Usually, Du Yongxiao would come here to rest and vacation when he had nothing to do, and live in the private official residence allocated by the Hong Kong British government when he had work.

At this time, the luxury convoy carried the foreigner Soros all the way and soon came to a Chinese-style garden villa covering hundreds of acres.

The villa has three floors. Because it is built on the mountain, the scenery of each floor is different.

The convoy entered the gate and there was a road paved with pebbles. On both sides of the road were a row of stone benches, on which were arranged various bonsai of flowers and trees, which were pleasing to the eye.

Turning left on the road, there was a moon gate. Entering the moon gate was the yard on the first floor of the villa.

At this time, Zhuang Dingxian, who was responsible for welcoming Soros, stepped forward quickly to welcome Soros out of the car.

Polite and considerate.

Zhuang Dingxian himself was a civil servant and was very good at treating people, so Du Yongxiao arranged him to come and do the work.

After a conversation, Zhuang Dingxian politely took Soros into the villa garden and said, "Mr. Du is waiting for you inside."

Soros nodded, and under the guidance of Zhuang Dingxian, he walked through rockery and streams, attics and pavilions, and finally came to a study.

Zhuang Dingxian signaled Soros to wait, and knocked on the door three times.

Dong Dong Dong.

"Mr. Du, I have brought the person here."

"Very good, please invite him in quickly!" Du Yongxiao's voice came from the room.

"Yes!"

While Zhuang Dingxian was speaking, he pushed open the door of the study, stepped back and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Soros could come in.

When Soros entered the study, he saw Du Yongxiao coming up to him with a smile and saying, "You are finally here, please sit down quickly!" He invited Soros to sit down at the tea table next to him.

Soros took a look and saw that the tea table was extremely beautiful. It was carved entirely out of jade. The emerald green was so delicate and beautiful that it looked like a very good material.

The outside of the tea table is carved with traditional Chinese figures of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and each figure is lifelike.

Even if Soros doesn't quite understand the story of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", he still thinks these paintings are beautiful.

"We have a saying in China that 'the guest does as he pleases'. Since you are here, you should try our traditional Chinese tea ceremony. But I only learned this recently, and I am not yet proficient at it, but it will make you laugh!" Du Yongxiao Chatting and laughing, he started boiling water and washing cups, all in one smooth motion.

Du Yongxiao met Soros when he was in the United States. Soros was deeply impressed by Du Yongxiao. Now that they met again, he found that Du Yongxiao had become more mature and charming. With Du Yongxiao's sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, Soros couldn't help but marvel, if he were If it's a girl, she might also like him.

Soon, the tea boiled.

Du Yongxiao took a cup and handed it to Soros.

Soros followed Du Yongxiao's example and sipped it gently.

"Yes! Chinese tea is indeed extraordinary." Soros praised.

Du Yongxiao smiled and said: "Since it feels good, then drink a few more drinks."

Soros smiled and put down the tea cup in his hand: "You can drink the tea slowly, we still have to talk about business."

Du Yongxiao also put down his tea cup: "Okay, time is running out now, and we need to have a good talk."

In fact, Du Yongxiao invited Soros to Hong Kong this time to discuss sniping Lee Siu-heng, Li Jiacheng and others.

Ten billion battle!

There are only a few people in the world who can withstand such a huge financial war, and Soros is one of them.

In the last life, at the beginning of the 1997 financial crisis, groundless rumors came out that Hong Kong would abandon the linked exchange rate and that the Hong Kong dollar would depreciate and the RMB could not be guaranteed. The news spread like wildfire, and dark clouds once again enveloped Hong Kong.

The Asian financial crisis is the most serious crisis in Asia since World War II.

The crisis has caused heavy economic losses to various countries and severely damaged their vitality. The crisis is causing shocks to the entire social and political life.

As the saying goes, a fire at the city gate affects the fish in the pond. Hong Kong, this towering tree that once stood firm during the financial crisis, is also shaking violently in the wind this time.

Since the financial turmoil, the international predators headed by Soros have worked together to make huge profits in Hong Kong stocks, foreign exchange and futures.

Hong Kong people wiped away tears as the Asian financial turmoil dealt a heavy blow to Hong Kong. As the world's financial center, Hong Kong's GDP recorded a negative growth of 5% in the second quarter, the unemployment rate reached 5%, and total retail sales from January to April fell by 14% compared with the same period last year. …

Hong Kong's "market driver", "genius financial speculator", "godfather of the financial world" and "speculative market missionary" Soros has many laurels in the storm. Prime Minister Mahathir's angry denunciation seems to be a warning to Soros made a free advertisement, making his image of a "financial tycoon" more popular.

It can be said that in the previous life, Du Yongxiao had great disdain and hatred for Soros, thinking that he was a financial giant. During the 1997 crisis, he also wanted to attack Hong Kong, which brought a lot of pain to the Chinese people.

Du Yongxiao didn't like this guy either. He felt that this guy was despicable and shameless, and his methods were vicious enough.

But in terms of financial warfare, Soros is definitely a talent, even surpassing another financial tycoon Buffett who is on par with him in some aspects.

In terms of strength, behind Buffett are the Rockefeller family and other American plutocrats, while behind Soros is the Jewish consortium.

In the United States, the Jewish consortium and the American Angsa consortium have been fighting back and forth, with both sides winning and losing. The two major political parties in the United States, the Republican and Democratic parties, are also controlled by these two major consortiums.

Specifically, the Republican Party is backed by the Angsa consortium such as Rockefeller, while the Democratic Party is backed by the Jewish consortium headed by Rothschild.

Interests are the key to the confrontation between the two sides.

Although they are a small group of people, they control the world's wealth and can easily paralyze the economy of a small country.

Therefore, on Wall Street in the United States, Soros and Buffett respectively represent the power of the two major financial groups and fight for their respective financial groups.

Du Yongxiao is well aware of this relationship, and the purpose of wooing Soros this time is just to use his technology to teach Hong Kong bosses such as Li Zhaoheng and Li Jiacheng a lesson.

"Now I have fully acquired the foreign assets of Ritchie, Cheung Kong Holdings, Henderson Group and other companies on Wall Street in the United States." Soros said in a fast tone. "If nothing unexpected happens, the battle will be over in three days at most."

Du Yongxiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"No, I'm not working hard at all." Soros said, "It's an honor for me to be able to participate in such a game. After all, tens of billions of wars are not something you can encounter casually. Besides, in my opinion, you are the real master of chess. , it’s ridiculous that your opponents are still kept in the dark. They are waving flags in Hong Kong and want to annex your company. But you, on the other hand, go abroad to acquire their overseas assets and have unknowingly completed your goal. This That’s awesome!”

Soros looked admiring when he said these words.

Yes, he could only admire Du Yongxiao.

Who could have guessed that Du Yongxiao would be so insidious. On the surface, he was dealing with Li Zhaoheng and others, but secretly he went to raid his home base abroad.

Now, with the help of Soros, Du Yongxiaoye has collected all the overseas assets of the Lee Zhaoheng family, the assets of Li Jiacheng's investments in the UK and the United States, and the overseas assets of Li Zhaoji and others!

Not only that, Du Yongxiao also invited Soros from the United States to let him swallow up the assets of his opponents in Hong Kong.

Du Yongxiao is not just dreaming, but he has this kind of strength.

Especially with the support of American Rockefeller and British Howard family behind him, there is no financial pressure.

To be precise, Lee Zhaoheng and the others have raised tens of billions, and Du Yongxiao has raised about the same amount.

The only difference is——

Lee Zhaoheng raised HK$1 billion.

What Du Yongxiao raised was,

Dollars!

It can be said that only financial giants like Soros know how terrifying Du Yongxiao is today.

The two chatted about various situations, and they talked about Du Yongxiao's layout in Africa. Soros said that Du Yongxiao had made a lot of money in Africa. Now most of Africa should be under your control, right?

The reason why Soros mentioned this is because among Du Yongxiao's tens of billions of dollars, apart from the help of Rockefeller and Howard, the largest source of funds is Africa!

When Du Yongxiao deployed in Kenya, Africa, he controlled the economic lifeline of the entire country. Diamond mines, gold mines, and oil continuously brought him wealth.

Then, Du Yongxiao used this wealth to start operating other African countries, such as Ethiopia, Congo, etc.

Like Kenya before them, these countries have also brought huge benefits to Du Yongxiao.

Anyone who knows the details knows that if Du Yongxiao returns to Africa, he will be worthy of his name: "King of Africa."

"Seriously, Mr. Du. I actually don't understand. You have made great achievements in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Africa, so why do you care so much about Hong Kong, a tiny place?" Soros asked, "What's going on outside?" Ruhua, someone like you has a lot to do, isn’t it?”

In fact, Soros has been thinking about this issue for a long time. In his opinion, now that Du Yongxiao has a very high status, especially famous abroad, there is no need to fight with these people in this small place.

Those people are not worthy of fighting Du Yongxiao.

So Soros thinks, why should Du Yongxiao lower his status and insist on being king and hegemony here?

Seeing Soros' question, Du Yongxiao smiled and said: "The reason is very simple -"

Pick up the tea cup and take a sip————

"I am Chinese!"
