Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Du Yongxiao sat in the leisure area, enjoying the free coffee specially prepared by the Peninsula Hotel for VIP guests.

The lobby manager kept calling room 336 nervously.

For him, although the Peninsula Hotel is a big hotel, it is better not to offend a plainclothes agent like Du Yongxiao. Who knows what kind of backer the other party has behind him?

Soon, when Du Yongxiao finished drinking a cup of coffee, the lobby manager wiped his forehead and came over: "Hi Mr. Du, oh no, Agent Du! I made a few more phone calls just now, and Mr. Johnny finally finished his work. See you soon." you!"

"Really? Thank you!" Du Yongxiao got up and extended his hand to the lobby manager.

The other party shook hands with Du Yongxiao hurriedly.

After shaking hands, Du Yongxiao turned around and walked towards the elevator, entered the elevator, turned around and pressed the third floor, nodded and smiled at the lobby manager with his hands behind his back, the elevator door slammed and closed.

"Damn you!" The lobby manager swears, the pressure Du Yongxiao put on him just now is too great.

...

Du Yongxiao came to room 336 on the third floor and knocked on the door politely.

Boom boom boom!

After three beeps, there was a creak, and the door opened.

Poked out a head: "Who are you looking for?"

Du Yongxiao glanced at the other party, he was a Chinese, he should be an interpreter, and said with a smile: "I'm looking for Mr. Johnny, my surname is Du."

"The one who kept making harassing calls just now?" The translator gave Du Yongxiao an uncomfortable look, "Come in!"

Open the door and let Du Yongxiao enter.

A ghost in the room spoke with an American accent: "Dear Charlie, what's the matter?"

"A Hong Kong person, the one who called to harass you just now!" Charlie thought that Du Yongxiao didn't understand English, so he said to Johnny without any scruples.

When Du Yongxiao walked into the guest room, he saw an old white man sitting behind the desk working. He didn't look up when he saw Du Yongxiao, but pointed contemptuously at the sofa next to him.

The translator Charlie said to Du Yongxiao: "Sit down, to make a long story short, my boss is very busy!"

Du Yongxiao looked at Charlie, who was fighting against others, smiled, walked over and sat down.

Charlie poured a cup of coffee for the boss Johnny, and poured another cup for Du Yongxiao symbolically.

After almost two minutes, Johnny stopped his work, glanced up at Du Yongxiao, screwed up the pen in his hand, and said in a slightly arrogant tone: "Who are you——"

"I'm next, Du Yongxiao." Du Yongxiao looked at him. He was in his fifties, with a big beard, curly brown hair, and wrinkles around his eyes. He was a typical Texan.

When Johnny saw that the other party didn't hand over his business card, he couldn't help but despise him. Many famous people in this era have business cards, but the other party obviously didn't.

"Du Yongxiao? We know each other?" Johnny picked up the coffee, leaned back on the chair, and took a sip with disdainful eyes.

"I don't know. But I learned from the newspaper that your Excellency is recruiting partners, so I dared to come here."

"Oh, is it so?"

The translator, Charlie, leaned over and whispered something in Johnny's ear.

"You're a cop?" Johnny frowned.

"I'm an agent, an undercover agent."

Johnny obviously didn't understand the difference between plainclothes detectives in Hong Kong and ordinary police officers. He curled his lips: "In the United States, very few police officers are interested in doing business."

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "In Hong Kong, many policemen like to do business, and they like to do big business."

With that said, Du Yongxiao got up and took out the plan he wrote last night and handed it to the other party, "I wrote this specially for Your Excellency, please read it!"

Charlie took a step forward, took the initiative, and flattered Johnny: "I'll translate for you!" After speaking, he began to read and translate at the same time.

Johnny leaned on the chair and listened arrogantly. At first, he looked contemptuous. To him, a Chinese is a poor guy who can write anything. But gradually his brows frowned, and then slowly Surprised——

Who is Du Yongxiao?

He was an elite in the business world in his last life, so writing this kind of franchise plan is still easy? In the plan, not only the advantages and disadvantages of McDonald's in the international fast food market are analyzed, but also the overall plan of McDonald's to seize the Hong Kong market is analyzed more accurately, even more than Johnny knows!

Listening to this plan, Johnny was even a little dazed, wondering how Du Yongxiao knew so much inside information?

Du Yongxiao not only used very professional vocabulary to evaluate the market value of McDonald's, but also used very commercial methods to deduce that McDonald's will fail to seize the beach.

As a McDonald's executive, although Johnny was surprised by the content of Du Yongxiao's plan, when he saw Du Yongxiao's assessment of the results of McDonald's grabbing Hong Kong, he couldn't help it anymore——

"How is it possible? Under my leadership, this entry into the Hong Kong market will fail?" Johnny snorted, "It's nonsense!"

Du Yongxiao smiled, and said with his hands behind his back: "I wrote the reasons on it, it's up to you to believe it or not!"

Johnny suppressed his anger, and looked at Du Yongxiao with contempt: "Mr. Du, you have two main inferences, one is the boycott of McDonald's by local milk tea shops in Hong Kong, and the other is some damn fees—"

"I'm a businessman. I can understand the first point. After all, if a new thing wants to take root in a strange place, it needs a process of adaptation. As for the second point—"

Before Johnny finished speaking, Du Yongxiao shrugged: "I don't want to talk about this point. If you are curious, you can consult this Mr. Charlie. He is from Hong Kong and should understand!"

Johnny lifted his chin and looked at Charlie.

Charlie swallowed, and was about to explain, but saw the content of the plan, and looked at Du Yongxiao: "What, you want to build a flagship store?"

Johnny also heard it, and looked at Du Yongxiao in astonishment, his eyes were extremely contemptuous: "Friend, is your appetite too big?"

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, "As I said before, when our Hong Kong police do business, the bigger the better!"

Johnny smiled, with a strange expression: "Want to be a flagship store? OK, you need to have that qualification! First, the working capital must reach 30,000; second, you must have experience to open up the market; finally, you must gain my trust —and I don’t like doing business with you Chinese the least!”

After finishing speaking, Johnny leaned back on the chair arrogantly, clasping his fingers together: "So now, which one do you have?"

"Yes, Mr. Du, which one do you have?" Charlie also pretended to be arrogant, "What is your advantage?"

"First of all, I don't have 30,000 yuan, I only have 3,000 yuan! Secondly, I am not very familiar with the Hong Kong market, so I have to develop slowly. Finally, I met you, Mr. Johnny, for the first time. As for trust, let's not talk about it! Du Yongxiao replied, "As for my advantage——"

The corner of Du Yongxiao's mouth curled up: "I'm a poor man!"
