Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Du, this castle is almost two hundred years old!"

Castle Howard --

Under the guidance of Howard, Du Yongxiao visited this magnificent castle in the daytime for the first time.

"A long time ago, the well-known Duke of Wellington in the British Empire lived here." Howard raised his chin and glanced at Du Yongxiao with some pride.

Du Yongxiao knew well what the other party's expression meant.

He knows the Duke of Wellington's name. After all, there are not many people in this world who can defeat the genius emperor Napoleon.

Du Yongxiao understood better that the other party would not invite him to visit the castle for no reason.

If there is any "love" between the two, then Howard has almost repaid the life-saving grace, and the rest is pure profit.

really--

When the two walked to the clock tower of the castle, Howard turned to look at Du Yongxiao and said: "To be honest, when you proposed to invest in medical research, I laughed and was skeptical. I think you, a layman, are going inside. Throwing money away is a complete joke."

"But now, I have to say sorry to you. I am short-sighted, or your luck is against the sky!"

After a pause, Howard said, "The Viagra pill you developed works very well!"

Du Yongxiao knew the reason and asked: "My new drug has not been launched yet, how do you know that it works well, Your Excellency?"

"Haha, Du, you and I are both smart people, so you don't need to go around the bush." ​​Howard looked at Du Yongxiao with eagle eyes, "I'm very interested in your new drug, can you sell it to me?"

Du Yongxiao smiled, "I've heard this sentence many times recently. The first time it was Mr. Fred, the boss of Beecham Pharmaceuticals, told me, and my answer was——No!"

"I can give you a lot of money! Yes, you can't spend it all your life, and you can count money in bed."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Howard, to be honest, I'm not short of money now."

"Uh, what?" Howard looked at Du Yongxiao for the first time. According to the news he got, Du Yongxiao was just a Chinese inspector who came to the UK from Hong Kong to train. Even if he was really rich, he wouldn't have much money; For new medicines, the funds should be used similarly, and I only need to spend a huge sum of money to impress him.

"Ten million pounds! How about it?" Howard thought that Du Yongxiao was retreating and deliberately haggling.

"No, no, Mr. Howard, you still don't understand what I mean. I really don't need money. No matter if you offer 10 million pounds, 20 million, or 30 million, I won't sell it! Besides—— In order to make the other party give up, Du Yongxiao thought for a while and said: "What's more, I have reached an agreement with Mr. Rockefeller of the United States, and the two parties will cooperate to develop the American market together!"

Howard was taken aback: "What, you want to cooperate with the super rich in the United States?"

"Yes! So—" Du Yongxiao shrugged, "I'm not short of money!"

Du Yongxiao didn't say that he owns 100 million U.S. dollars and invested in Chase Bank, otherwise Howard would definitely be shocked.

Even so, Howard was a little taken aback.

He knew who Rockefeller was.

Among the top ten richest people in the United States, the Rockefeller family is definitely among the best.

That's not to say, Howard thinks he can't compare with Rockefeller in terms of wealth.

Of course, in terms of status, Rockefeller couldn't compare to him, an old British nobleman.

Taking a deep breath, "I didn't expect you to be so lucky. With the Rockefeller family helping you, wouldn't it be a matter of course to open up the American market?"

"Thank you for the compliment."

"However, I still hope that you can think about it. Maybe we can cooperate, for example, in the way you cooperate—" Howard had to lower his request and said in a tentative tone.

At first, he wanted to swallow Phoenix Pharmaceutical.

"Cooperation? Of course!" Du Yongxiao said with a smile, "The British market is also very important. I originally planned to cooperate with you, but I was afraid that you would not like it. After all, we are a small company."

As soon as Du Yongxiao said this, Howard suddenly had a feeling of being calculated.

Could it be that Du Yongxiao came here with the idea of ​​cooperating with me from the very beginning?

"Since your Excellency has spoken, we will cooperate according to the model I have with Mr. Rockefeller—we, Phoenix Pharmaceutical, will contribute 20% of the equity. As for your Excellency, you need to pay two million pounds to buy it, and you will be responsible for developing the British market in the future. Market responsibilities in European countries - what do you think?"

"Du, your calculations are too precise! I can afford two million pounds. But you only gave me 20% of the shares, and you want to use our Pandora channel to sell your new medicine to the whole of Europe. In this way, I It’s too much of a disadvantage here!”

"Are you at a loss?" Du Yongxiao touched the pit on the edge of the castle, "My mother always said that a loss is a blessing!" After speaking, Du Yongxiao looked at Howard: "If you don't want to suffer a loss, there will be many people queuing up to suffer it Do you want to bet?"

Looking at Du Yongxiao's piercing eyes, Howard felt for the first time that he underestimated Du Yongxiao.

This young man is like a sharp sword, showing his sharpness, making even a tiger like him a little overwhelmed.

But soon Howard smiled contemptuously.

What is his identity?

What is Du Yongxiao's identity?

Being willing to cooperate with him is enough to give him face.

If he accepted such harsh conditions again, wouldn't it be ridiculed if it was spread?

To put it bluntly, although Du Yongxiao was the savior of Howard's daughter Michelle, the sense of aristocratic superiority in Howard's bones made him somewhat look down on Du Yongxiao.

Just when Howard was about to refuse——

The old butler Witt suddenly walked up to the castle.

Following behind the old butler was Du Yongxiao's old friend -- Sheriff Henry.

Sergeant Henry has now become Du Yongxiao and Shangfeng's "mouthpiece", and the higher authorities like to assign him to Du Yongxiao to pass on any matter, such as today.

Compared with the past, old Henry looked very serious today, not as smiling as usual.

Witt, the old butler, maintained his aristocratic butler manner, and led old Henry to Du Yongxiao and Howard. After explaining the situation, he stood aside, raised his chin slightly, and watched what old Henry had to say to Du Yongxiao.

Howard was also very curious. In his impression, Sheriff Old Henry was a very loose person, and he had never been so serious before.

"Du, I'm here to inform you about something very important!" Lao Heng took off his hat and said to Du Yongxiao: "Tomorrow you will be honored at Scotland Yard——"

"Uh, honors?"

"Yes!" Old Henry took a deep breath, "You have been canonized as a baron by Her Majesty the Queen!"

boom!

The scene exploded.

The old butler Witt suspected that he had misheard.

The well-informed Mr. Howard also looked stunned.

"So from now on——" Old Henry held his hat between his fingers and bowed respectfully to Du Yongxiao, "You are the honorable Lord Baron!"
