Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"What do you think, Mr. Du? Do you still need to think about it, or do you want to refuse to answer my question?"

When Acne saw that Du Yongxiao didn't say anything, he thought he was afraid, so he pressed on.

Others gloated and laughed at the joke, and some female students clasped their fists to their chests, fearing that Du Yongxiao would make a mistake.

The atmosphere in the meeting suddenly became tense.

The school leader who was sitting not far from Du Yongxiao whispered to Du Yongxiao: "Mr. Du, do you want to kick him out? After all, you are our VIP guest!" His expression was half-smile.

Du Yongxiao smiled and said in Korean: "It doesn't matter, I can answer this question." Kicking him out of the meeting would undoubtedly be his failure.

At the signal of the school leader, the atmosphere on the scene became more tense, and everyone looked at the boy with acne.

Acne looked fearless and unstoppable, and kept questioning Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao smiled and pointed at the acne-stricken male student, saying, "My classmate, you just asked me why I acquired Korea Bank and why I wanted to get involved in Samsung Electronics. The reason is very simple. These are all business operations. I have said many times just now that I am a businessman, not a politician. As a businessman, the first thing I consider is the issue of profit and growth."

"The reason why I acquired Korea Bank is because it is an excellent bank. Looking back at its development over the years, its profit margin has basically reached the passing line, and even exceeded the passing line of many banks. In the words of our industry, this is a high-quality stock. So I want to acquire it. This is a strong combination. Do you understand?"

"As for Samsung Electronics The sub-question, I believe everyone has heard someone say recently that the company has encountered difficulties in funding and is actively seeking help. In South Korea, peers are enemies. When everyone competes together, it is inevitable that they will fight against each other, so they have been actively looking for external funds for assistance. And our Du Group happens to be the best and most powerful among the external funds. I believe that if Samsung Electronics is willing to accept our assistance, then the future will be a win-win result for both parties. "

"In summary, my relationship with Daehan Bank and Samsung Electronics is a fair and open alliance of strong forces and a win-win relationship for both parties. Does anyone object to this?" Du Yongxiao glanced down with a smile.

No one said anything.

Du Yongxiao's words were meticulous and there was no flaw to be found.

"No one objects. Because what I said are all facts. Yes, I was just stating the facts and proving them. Now I want to answer your second question, why are there so many demonstrators blocking the door of my hotel. "

Du Yongxiao smiled meaningfully and looked at the acne boy.

For some reason, the acne boy suddenly felt an ominous feeling.

Everyone looked at Du Yongxiao and was gradually convinced by his charm of rhetoric. They felt that he was a pure person, or a pure businessman. There was nothing sinister or dark in his heart. He was completely different from what was promoted outside. We all misunderstood him.

Du Yongxiao said again: "I always thought that South Korea was a country of etiquette and Seoul was a city of hospitality. After all, South Korea used to belong to the Chinese cultural circle and was deeply influenced by Confucianism. The saying "It is a great pleasure to have friends from afar" should be very applicable here. But--"

Du Yongxiao shook his head: "Some people with ulterior motives and unpredictable hearts like to spread rumors and make trouble, portraying me as a mercenary businessman who robbed your high-quality assets and large enterprises in South Korea! So here I want to ask, if I don't acquire Daehan Bank and don't help Samsung Electronics, will these two companies go bankrupt? Will there be thousands of people who will be laid off and unemployed at that time? I took out money to help those companies, but I was considered a profiteer. How embarrassing is it?"

Du Yongxiao spoke loudly, accusing South Korea of ​​being unkind and unrighteous.

The students from Hong Kong and Taiwan were the first to applaud.

The Korean students looked at each other in bewilderment.

Du Yongxiao's words left them with no way to refute.

The Bank of Korea was still okay. Although it was said that it had a lot of foreign debts because the loan was not returned, it would not be destroyed immediately.

It was a fact that Samsung Electronics was about to collapse, especially recently, Samsung Group boss Lee Byung-chul even took the initiative to go to the Blue House to seek help.

You know, among the many chaebols in South Korea, Lee Byung-chul was the most noble one.

No matter who was the president of the Blue House, he had never been there in person. It was always those presidents who came to visit him and ask for help.

But this time, for Samsung Electronics, Lee Byung-chul was willing to put down his status and lower his face to ask the president, which shows how critical Samsung Electronics was.

"What, did I say it wrong?" Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, "South Korea is really not a country of etiquette, otherwise why didn't you even have a little applause after I finished speaking?"

Embarrassing!

The university executives, professors, and students at the scene were very embarrassed.

Pa Pa Pa!

The school principal took the lead in applauding.

Then, warm applause broke out in the auditorium.

After the applause subsided, Du Yongxiao continued: "We Chinese have an old saying that those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters." After saying that, he looked at the acne boy and said, "There are many people like you who have evil intentions and want to destroy the relationship between our two major ethnic groups. Some people even regard us Chinese businessmen as a scourge. But I believe that there are still many kind friends in South Korea, because we all live on the same planet and belong to the same cultural circle. Our ancestors once sat together to discuss poetry and prose, and talked by candlelight at night - since they can do so, why can't we?"

Du Yongxiao's questioning caused the scene to be completely silent.

The boy with acne looked even more ashamed.

At this moment, he has completely acted as a negative example for destroying the friendship between the two countries and hurting national sentiments.

Du Yongxiao continued: "Of course, it's the same sentence. I believe you still have many kind-hearted friends in Korea, such as those who are applauding me now -"

"ah?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all applauded. At the same time, good-natured laughter erupted in the venue. More people were whispering to each other, talking about what Du Yongxiao just said about South Korea's historical status in the Chinese circle, and the role of Confucianism in South Korea. spread.

"To be honest, there was a time when your Confucianism was even more developed than our orthodox Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. You have produced many great thinkers, philosophers, and even medical scientists, such as Li Huang The double wall in North Korean intellectual circles, the two great Confucians Lee Hui. He is a household name in South Korea. In order to commemorate this thinker, your Korean government even printed his face on the 5,000-yuan won. There is also the Kingdom of Joseon, which wrote the masterpiece "Donguibogam". The famous medical scientist Xu Jun——"

Du Yongxiao kept giving examples to help these Korean students find a sense of identity and a sense of belonging.

In fact, Du Yongxiao was not exaggerating or deliberately praising South Korea.

What he said are all historical facts. Since Li Chenggui established the Joseon Dynasty, he has begun to promote Confucianism, such as establishing Sungkyunkwan in Seoul, establishing rural schools in various counties and counties, allowing private schools represented by academies to flourish, and cultivating Confucian talents. ; Select talents through the imperial examination system, enrich the ranks of civil servants, and add fresh blood into the bureaucratic class; the studious monarchs learn Confucian classics and history through scripture feasts and other measures.

The government formulated the township covenant law, which made the township covenant spread rapidly with the authority of the government's legal system. In its external relations with the Ming Dynasty, peaceful and mutually respectful diplomatic relations were also established based on the principle of ritualism. The Confucian ruling system was established in Korea. Until the end of the Joseon Dynasty, Confucianism still occupied an unshakable position in the country.

Now that Du Yongxiao had diverted the topic, those Korean college students had long forgotten that they were all studying business and politics before. Now they all went back to the old days and started talking about Confucianism, orthodox Chinese civilization, and so on.

"The book "Donguibogam" is the pride of us Koreans. We even think it is comparable to the "Compendium of Materia Medica" written by Li Shizhen, a famous medical scientist in your country." "A Korean student raised his hand, and Du Yongxiao nodded to him. He stood up, took the microphone and said.

"In addition, we in South Korea also have the famous "The Legend of Chunxiang". In my opinion, it can compete with your Chinese four masterpieces "A Dream of Red Mansions". What do you think?"

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly and did not use any skills to answer this kind of question: "You are right! Every country has its unique charm and excellent culture. The rich knowledge contained in "Donguibojian" also makes us It's an eye-opener, especially in the application of acupuncture, which can be compared with our " "Acupuncture". As for your country's "Chun Xiang Zhuan", I never tire of it. I am familiar with the stories in it, and I even know them by heart. Therefore, our two countries' cultures have many things in common, and there is also a lot to learn from each other. We should have friendly exchanges and share what we have. ”

Du Yongxiao's words not only praised Korean culture, but also praised his own culture.

The students in the venue could not sit still, and some students raised their hands to speak again, asking Du Yongxiao about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and who was Du Yongxiao's favorite character in it?

Du Yongxiao laughed: "Needless to say, of course it was Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Kongming who burst into tears as soon as the "Shi Shi Biao" came out! Of course, some people I know also prefer Cao Cao, or Liu Bei, Guan Yu - in short, a hundred I have a hundred Hamlets in my heart, don’t I?”

"So regarding our Korean God of War Yi Sun-shin, we think he is one of the top ten famous generals in Asia, even surpassing many of your Chinese generals, such as Li Jing, Yue Fei, etc., whom you think of as the God of War, what do you think about this, Mr. Du? ?” Another male student raised the issue of arrogance.

Du Yongxiao was originally unwilling to answer such stupid questions about not knowing how much he weighed, let alone praise their bad feet. However, looking at the expectant looks in the eyes of these Korean college students, Du Yongxiao felt that it was still necessary to wake them up.

"Your questions are very constructive. Yi Sun-shin is a famous general in North Korea. I don't deny this. But whether he is the best, in fact, it is useless for you to say, but it is useless for me to say. Because there is no comparability at all. . Just like this classmate mentioned just now Li Jing is from the Tang Dynasty, Yue Fei is from the Song Dynasty, or the Southern Song Dynasty to be precise, and Li Shunchen is from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. These are several dynasties apart, how can we compare them? Come and have a fight?"

"Hahaha!"

The scene burst into laughter. I thought what Du Yongxiao said was very humorous.

"In addition, Yi Sun-shin mainly fights naval battles, while Li Jing is good at cavalry pursuits, and Yue Fei is good at sniper cavalry. The three of them have their own strengths in the field of warfare. How can this be compared? Are they allowed to all go to sea to become pirate kings? ?”

"Hahaha!"

The scene burst into laughter again.

Du Yongxiao looked at the crowd and said: "Finally, what I want to say is that any national hero is worthy of respect, but it cannot be exaggerated, because exaggerating will not only be unhelpful to his historical image, but also make everyone think that he is too fictional. In this way Once this happens, more people will question him and deny him. This is what the saying goes, good intentions lead to bad things!”

After Du Yongxiao said this, the scene fell silent.

Those who had laughed before began to think seriously.

They are all college students in Seoul, the best talents in South Korea, not those mindless country fools. Du Yongxiao made them understand the pros and cons with such a gentle touch.

Yes, they exaggerated their national hero. So what will future generations think? Will they question whether he is real? Is it a real person?

The scene became increasingly silent.

Students are thinking fast.

Human psychology is so strange. Once they accept you from the bottom of their hearts, they will often become tolerant and accept any questions or suggestions you have with an open mind.

"History is always moving forward! Although those historical figures are outstanding, they also have historical limitations. For example, if we call them out and face aircraft and artillery now, can they defeat them? The answer must be no, no! Because Technology is everything and productivity! The reason why we at Dushi Group want to invest in Samsung Electronics is because of its strong technological innovation capabilities! I hope everyone can support our investment in Samsung and win-win cooperation between us! Samsung belongs to South Korea! It also belongs to the whole world, this is the truly powerful Samsung!”

At the end, Du Yongxiao brainwashed these arrogant Koreans and ended today's speech with the words "Samsung's world, Samsung of the world".

When Du Yongxiao finished his speech, waves of applause erupted in the auditorium. The students in Seoul had seen all kinds of politicians and business tycoons, but no speech could leave such a deep impression on them. Everyone spontaneously Stand and applaud.

Many people in the school leadership stood up with livid faces. If they knew that Du Yongxiao could turn things around and get such support from the students here, they would definitely not take the initiative to invite Du Yongxiao over.

When Du Yongxiao walked off the podium, Jiang Ling'er smiled at him, and Yan Xiong secretly gave him a thumbs up. Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, walked past them, shook hands and talked with the principals and trustees in Seoul.

Du Yongxiao’s speech can be described as -——

Smiling proudly!
