Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

modern group,

President's Office————

"Father, I just received a call from Samsung Group President Zheng Juyong, inviting us to gather at the Samsung Hotel near Yongbokgung Palace in three days. Look -"

The person who said this was Zheng Jiu, the second son of Hyundai Group boss Zheng Juyong.

As Zheng Zhouyong's most proud son, Zheng Jiu is different from his eldest brother Zheng Xiu.

Zheng Xiu was fickle and domineering in his work. Because of this, Zheng Xiuhui died in a car accident in his previous life, which also made the fight for the crown prince in the current group intensify.

Many people say that Zheng Xiu's death is related to the second eldest brother Zheng Jiu, because Zheng Jiu was not as cheerful as his elder brother. He is highly respected by everyone in Hyundai Group.

Zheng Jiu is too gloomy, and his behavior and actions are unpredictable. As a father, Zheng Zhouyong once said: "My eldest son is like a tiger, and my second son is like a fox!"

Translated, no one knows whether this statement is a compliment or a derogation to Zheng Jiu.

"Would Samsung be so kind as to invite us over for dinner?" Zheng Zhouyong smiled slightly, with a hint of disdain on his lips.

Zheng Jiudao: "Perhaps they are too happy and forget about it. As you know, the Blue House is now supporting them with a loan of 30 billion. This is not a small amount. If this matter is successful, then the Samsung Group will be able to firmly step on us and Hanjin, Lotte and other large groups have become the true overlord of the Republic of Korea.”

"Overlord? Then we, old friends, must nod!" Zheng Zhouyong finished speaking angrily, then paused and continued to speak, with a hint of complaint in his tone: "We should have endured it in the beginning, if it weren't for that damn traitor Kim Jong-ki If you don't mind, we won't sell the three car production lines in Daegu to someone named Du!"

"Father, Kim Jong-ki is just one of them. Don't forget that there is also Zheng Tai - he is the reason!" Zheng Jiu said casually.

Zheng Zhouyong blew his beard and glared: "What do you mean? Are you blaming me in a roundabout way? Although he was born between me and another woman, he is still your brother and has the same blood, isn't he?"

"Father, calm down, I'm just telling the truth. He was the cause of this accident, and you only provoked that difficult guy Du Yongxiao to help him calm down the trouble." Zheng Jiuliang paused and looked at Zheng Zhouyong: "Let's talk about the topic, Samsung. This invitation is obviously a demonstration, what should we do? Should we go and support it, or should we make excuses not to go?”

After these words were asked, the living room fell silent. The anger and excitement on Zheng Zhouyong's face gradually faded away, and his whole temperament changed. His eyes became a little deeper, and he returned to his true self as the all-powerful Korean car tycoon.

Zheng Zhouyong pondered for a moment, and then said to his son Zheng Jiu: "Of course I want to support you! Everyone is pushing against me, and there are many people who are famous for their right and wrong. Samsung is very popular now, so it is good for us to go and see what is right and wrong! What's more, Samsung this time There may be other purposes for summoning us——"

"Other purposes?" Zheng Jiu rolled his eyes, with a hint of surprise on his gloomy face.

"Do you want us to join forces collectively to deal with that Du Yongxiao?"

Zheng Zhouyong glanced at his son, not sure if it was a compliment or a spur: "Sometimes you are so smart that it makes people feel numb. Your eldest brother is several years older than you, but he is weaker than you in terms of city government and means. More. If I weren't here to take charge, maybe you would stage a show of six flying dragons!"

"Six Flying Dragons" tells the story of King Taejong of Joseon, Lee Bang-won, who plotted to usurp the throne and killed his brother and others in order to seize the throne.

Zheng Jiu was excited when he heard this and did not dare to argue. He could only ask with a smile: "Father, you are really good at telling jokes, but I can't feel the point of laughter this time."

"There is something hidden in my words, don't you understand? I said you are a talent, better than your big brother, but your personality is a little too gloomy. Just like now, you are clearly scared, but you are still smiling. I don't like you like this!"

Zheng Jiu shuddered secretly.

It seems that his father still likes his hot-tempered eldest brother.

Is it true that in carrying on the family line and inheriting rights, "the order of elders and younger ones" is important?

As the second son, no matter how powerful he is, he can't stand out?

What if I rob it by force? As a father, would he still dare to kill himself?

Will he?

Zheng Jiu glanced at his father Zheng Zhouyong.

Zheng Zhouyong was looking at him like a hawk.

Zheng Jiu felt a sudden shock in his heart and tried to pretend that nothing was wrong: "I have been learning from my elder brother, and I hope that you, father, can really like me. If you don't like me now, it only means that I haven't done enough, but It doesn’t matter, time will tell everything, and you will know who can inherit the Hyundai Group by then!”

"Are you that confident?" Zheng Zhouyong pointed at Zheng Jiu's nose, "Let's not talk about defeating your elder brother. Now, do you have the ability to defeat that guy named Du?"

"Beat him?"

"That's right! Let you kill each other. This is the last thing I want to see. Then I will give you a test paper, whether it is you Zheng Jiu, your eldest brother Zheng Xiu, or the rest of your brothers, no matter who it is , As long as I can defeat that Du Yongxiao in this gathering held by Samsung, I will hand over the future power of Hyundai Group to him!"

Zheng Jiu was shocked and looked at his father in disbelief. He didn't expect that his father was bullied by Du and even bet the inheritance rights of the company.

"But...will that person named Du also attend this Samsung conference?"

"What do you think?" Zheng Zhouyong sneered, "That old fox Li Bingzhe has to invite the protagonist to the scene for such a big battle! Without the person named Du, there is no point in showing off his power even if he is three stars. Do you understand?"

"More than that, if my guess is correct, Du is also waiting for this opportunity and wants to use Samsung's conference to attract everyone into the game. As we all know, he is eyeing the major groups in the Republic of Korea and has always wanted to rely on himself. The purpose of taking a stake in power and always calling for a major alliance is not to be the leader.”

"What qualifications does he, a Chinese, have to be the leader of our Korean business community?"

"Just because he is Chinese, we can get together and speak to the outside world unanimously! As for who the leader of the alliance is, Samsung can see it, and we can also see it!" Zheng Zhouyong looked at his son with sharp eyes, "Even the Blue House. You can see it!”

"Is it the Samsung Group? Alliance leader Li Bingzhe?"

"Otherwise, what do you think? Lee Byung-chul is a tycoon. He originally fought hard against the Blue House and was unwilling to be a vassal of the government. Now, since the Blue House has joined forces with him, of course he will make a big deal! It just so happened that he took advantage of Crying Wolf to kill us all The chaebols unite Come and form a big alliance. As long as you become the leader, you can mobilize hundreds of billions of money to fight the Chinese. With a little thought, you can make a lot of money for yourself. Never underestimate his strategy. , and don’t overestimate his character.”

Zheng Jiu woke up from his dream, nodded and said: "That's it, I understand now."

"You understand, Xiba!" Zheng Zhouyong suddenly changed his expression: "Things like the chaebol alliance are extremely confidential, but you looked like you already knew about it just now! To be honest, have you already made a secret deal with Samsung? ? If you support them to become the leader of the alliance, they will support you to inherit the modern era?"

Zheng Jiu quickly shook his head and defended: "No, father! Believe me, I didn't do anything! Don't believe that others have wronged me by talking nonsense!"

"I'm wronging you? I know best who you are! You think you're smart, but you're actually stupid! If you had a clear conscience, you wouldn't be so loud when you informed me of the Samsung party, let alone say so many words. The more you act like that The more it proves that you are guilty! I’ll give you one last chance. Is it true that you have a secret deal with Samsung?”

Under the pressure of his father Zheng Zhouyong, the second son Zheng Jiu, who had always been gloomy and believed that he would not change his color even if the mountain collapsed, had to nod with difficulty, "Yes, yes!"

I thought Zheng Zhouyong would be furious, but he just nodded slightly: "That's right! Wait until the day of the chaebol gathering, and finally there will be something good to watch!"

…

Busan——

Warwick automobile production line under Dushi Group.

As the big boss of this automobile factory, Du Yongxiao is not a hands-off shopkeeper these days.

When Liu He went out to negotiate business, Du Yongxiao had to arrive at the factory site in person and sit in front of the battle.

Jiang Ling'er followed Du Yongxiao, acting as female secretary, accountant, and finance.

"Ling'er, let the workers clean up the factory tomorrow morning. Liu He called and said that he has negotiated business with Thailand. There will be Thai guests coming to the factory tomorrow afternoon to take a look."

Du Yongxiao pushed open the office room and said to Jiang Linger, who was sitting at the table with his head down, looking through the accounts.

Jiang Ling'er hummed, but did not raise her head. Instead, she continued to look through the information in front of her. Du Yongxiao walked over curiously: "What's wrong?"

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

"I looked over it for a long time, and the account showed that our sales of Warwick cars in South Korea were less than 1,000 units, but our external sales exceeded 30,000 units. It's incredible!"

Jiang Linger waited for Du Yongxiao to come over, then raised her head and looked at Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao nodded: "This is the method I gave to Liu He. Koreans tend to stick together and like to talk about patriotism and saving the country. Directly entering into a price war with Hyundai Motor is the lowest level. If you want them to accept our Warwick Motors, we must Start from the outside—"

"So I asked Yan Xiong to go to Japan and Liu He to Thailand and Baodao. I also arranged for people to go there. When people around South Korea start to purchase our Warwick cars, I will have a look. When the time comes, How long can the Koreans hold on?”

"I know, my husband is more powerful and knows this kind of encirclement tactic." Jiang Ling'er smiled and closed the account, then looked at Du Yongxiao, who was in a suit and leather suit in front of him: "You are better suited to wear this outfit. You have been wearing it for several months. I can’t even get used to the casual clothes.”

"I can't help it. I haven't been idle these days. I have been receiving guests visiting the factory. Although I am a hands-off shopkeeper, I still have to accompany them when they eat and drink. By the way, I also went to a nightclub with them and found a dancer. Don't you mind? Bar?"

Jiang Ling'er chuckled and put her arms around Du Yongxiao's neck: "I don't mind, but you have to make it up to me! You can't use your energy on those little goblins."

"There's someone out there! You are the real little goblin!" Du Yongxiao tapped the tip of Jiang Ling'er's nose.

…

Out of the office————

But seeing smoke rising from the factory's cafeteria, Du Yongxiao walked over and said to the person in charge who was busy in the cafeteria: "Excuse me, please help me make some dishes later. I want to have a drink with President Li Mingbai and Professor Kim Jong-ki." One cup!”

"I understand, President!" The person in charge said respectfully to Du Yongxiao.

Although Liu He is the president here, everyone knows that Liu He is actually a "wage earner" like them. The real owner of this car factory is the handsome young Chinese in front of him.

As talents recruited by Do Yong-hyo from Hyundai Group and Samsung Group respectively, Lee Ming-bai and Kim Jong-ki have been working hard these days. They abandoned their families and children for Warwick Motors and devoted themselves to their work.

Sometimes Du Yongxiao feels a little unbearable. He feels that the salary he gives others is really less than what they pay.

But for Li Mingbai and Kim Jong-ki, the salary Du Yongxiao gave them was already three times their original positions!

What's more, for people at their level, the pursuit of money is far less important than the sense of honor and achievement.

In Warwick Company, who would not respectfully call them "President" or "Professor" when meeting them?

Du Yongxiao even asked Liu He to truly delegate power to them. In many cases, they had complete autonomy and could even mobilize tens of billions of won in research and development funds. This was previously unimaginable in Hyundai Group and Samsung Group.

Du Yongxiao actually has a very clear division of labor. From now on, the person in charge of Warwick Motors will be Li Mingbai, and Liu He will still have to return to the United States. Kim Jong-ki is now helping here, but he will take charge of Samsung Electronics in the future. After all, he is the famous father of semiconductors, so he will definitely be overqualified here.

Not long——

The canteen brought meals specially prepared for Du Yongxiao and the others.

If you look closely, you can see a few Chinese-style home-cooked dishes——

Sweet and sour pork ribs, twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, spicy and sour cabbage, etc.

Du Yongxiao had never been used to eating kimchi here in Korea. It was kimchi in the morning, kimchi at noon, and kimchi in the evening. After eating, he felt like he was marinating in a pickle vat, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.

So Du Yongxiao hired a Chinese chef from the Chinese restaurant with a high salary and asked him to help cook.

This chef has good skills and can make ordinary home-cooked dishes with a unique flavor. He is very popular among factory employees and senior executives such as Du Yongxiao.

For this reason, Liu He also specifically increased his salary by 30%.

Du Yongxiao is waiting in the office.

However, Li Mingbai and Kim Jong-ki arrived late.

The two of them were even wearing work clothes when they arrived. They were dirty and looked like they had just come from the workshop.

Du Yongxiao did not dare to neglect these two great heroes. When he saw them arriving, he stood up to greet them personally.

Du Yongxiao's move once again flattered the two of them, and they burst into tears of gratitude, feeling that they were with the wrong person.

In the past, whether they were in Samsung or Hyundai, the president was always aloof and regarded them only as working vassals and never treated them as talents.
