Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"I'm sorry, dear Will! I don't know how things turned out like this? After I checked the information, I locked it directly in the safe. Yes, God, there will definitely be no problem, but -"

In the New York Times editor-in-chief's office, Editor-in-Chief Brown was sweating profusely when faced with an outraged Revere Rothschild.

Outside, the newspaper staff looked towards the office in fear.

They didn't know exactly what had happened, except that their venerable editor-in-chief, Mr. Brown, was out of luck.

Hearing this, Weir grabbed Brom's blue tie, pressed his face against it, and said fiercely with an oppressive attitude: "You don't know? Then do you know how much harm is being done to me now? Yes, God, the whole New York is watching. I laugh."

Facing Weir's gnawing gaze, Brom shivered in fear and his lips trembled: "I, I, I really..."

"Damn it!" Will pushed him away.

Brom stumbled and squatted on the ground.

"Now, you must find out the truth for me, yes! You must!" Weir issued an ultimatum.

"this--"

Brom had no idea how the dirty material was replaced, so he wanted to find out.

Just when Brom didn't know what to do, Weir's personal secretary hurried in from the outside, took a look at the poor Brom squatting on the ground, and then walked quickly to Weir and whispered: "Boss, something happened! Du Yongxiao is buying us. Company stock!”

"What?" Will was shocked.

…

Weir's Goldman Sachs Securities Investment Company is famous on Wall Street.

Because it has a large customer base, the company's profits are booming.

It can be said that Goldman Sachs Securities founded by Weir is definitely a "high-quality stock" on the Wall Street market.

Because of this, Goldman Sachs stock prices have remained high.

But this time, because of the sudden scandal in Weir, it directly affected Goldman Sachs' stock, which plummeted from the opening.

Seeing that something was wrong, the big guys in the stock market began to sell their shares first, hoping to sell at the peak of the stock price.

Those retail investors were stupid at first, but some people took the initiative to take over the orders. Gradually, they took more and more orders, and the more they took, the more they lost.

As a result, those retail investors couldn't stand it anymore and began to cut their flesh.

At this moment, Du Yongxiao came on stage.

As for Du Yongxiao, Weir originally wanted to plot against him this time, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot. Now instead, he is plotted against by Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao bought the Getty Group shares with the US$200 million he raised, and now pledged all these shares to Chase Bank in exchange for a loan!

Du Yongxiao took these loans again and began to acquire Goldman Sachs crazily!

Two hundred million dollars!

Soon he had acquired 30% of the low-priced Goldman Sachs shares.

…

"Du, you were too decisive this time!"

In the Chase Bank President's Office, David Rockefeller poured a glass of whiskey from the wine cabinet and turned around and handed it to Du Yongxiao.

"Goldman Sachs Securities is Weir's heartthrob. He will never allow a powerful force like you to intervene. If my guess is correct, he will contact you soon to regain those shares from you."

"Want to take it back? Yes! Just give me the money!" Du Yongxiao smiled and took the whiskey, "I'm a businessman. As long as the price is right, I can sell anything! Besides, I'm not very interested in Wall Street."

"Really? This is the most counter-intuitive sentence I have ever heard!" Rockefeller directly exposed Du Yongxiao, "As far as I know, anyone who wants to dominate the American financial market does not want to make a name for himself on Wall Street!"

Du Yongxiao shrugged: "Maybe I am an exception, because in my opinion, the financial market is very attractive, but I value the real economy more."

"Why?"

"Because entities can strengthen a country!" Du Yongxiao said lightly, "My country is still very weak, but I believe that by revitalizing the real economy in the future, my country will also become strong."

Rockefeller took a serious look at Du Yongxiao for the first time, nodded and said: "Du, maybe it's time for me to get to know you again. I used to think that you were like many Hong Kong tycoons, other than just making money, you had no feelings for family and country, but now -—— "

Du Yongxiao smiled and raised his whiskey glass: "That's because you have too little contact with me. Yes, I am in Hong Kong and you are in New York. How can we clearly understand each other thousands of miles away? Not to mention -"

"Besides what?"

"What's more, I'm not the only one in Hong Kong who has feelings for family and country like me. It will take several generations of hard work for this giant dragon of our country to take off." After a pause, Du Yongxiao continued: "Mr. Rockefeller, let's get back to business and tell the truth. Yeah, I’ve always had a question I wanted to ask—"

"Excuse me!" Rockefeller made an invitation gesture.

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "Actually, I really want to know, whose side are you on?"

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"It means -" Du Yongxiao shook the whiskey, "If Weir wins this time and exposes the dirty information about me and wants to acquire Phoenix Pharmaceuticals, will you join forces with him?"

Rockefeller smiled and said firmly: "Yes!"

Du Yongxiao shrugged: "I knew it."

"Du, as you just said, I am also a businessman. I don't care about favors in the business world, only about interests. Yes, for the sake of profit, I can betray anyone, including you, a friend who is not a friend." Rockefeller looked at Du Yongxiao said seriously, "But now that you have won, that's why I will stand here and drink with you."

"Then what?" Du Yongxiao asked with a smile, "You invited me over, not just for drinking, right?"

"Of course!" Rockefeller smiled, "You are not interested in Goldman Sachs Securities, but I am very interested! So-"

Rockefeller raised his glass and invited Du Yongxiao: "Can you give me the shares you acquired?"

The Rockefeller family made its fortune from oil, but David Rockefeller was interested in the American financial industry, so he gradually shifted the family's focus from oil to finance.

Facts have proved that his decision was right. By shifting his focus, he led his family to avoid several oil crises.

But U.S. financial markets are even more competitive than the oil market.

One can even describe the U.S. financial market as a "dog fighting ring" where everyone bites and eats. Well-dressed financial people will completely tear off their masks and reveal their wild beasts for the sake of profit.

In this huge and cruel market, the Rothschild family, which was already standing a hundred years ago, will always be the biggest opponent of the Rockefeller family.

Rockefeller tried to seize Goldman Sachs Securities several times, but failed. In the end, he was almost tricked by Weill.

But this time——

Rockefeller acted as an audience and watched a wonderful performance. Du Yongxiao's battle with Weir Rothschild was an eye-opener for him.

But what made him even more jealous were the shares in Du Yongxiao's hands.

As long as he can get it from Du Yongxiao, then Rockefeller will become the largest shareholder of Goldman Sachs Securities.

"How about it, dear Du, can you satisfy my request?" Rockefeller took a sip of whiskey and looked at Du Yongxiao with a smile.

Du Yongxiao smiled, took a sip of whiskey and said, "As you said, our relationship is not that of friends, so -"

Du Yongxiao raised his glass and invited: "I want to wait for the price!"

"Awaiting price?"

"Yes," Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, "If possible, I want to call the boss of Weir! Tell him that you want to buy my shares and ask him if he is interested?"

Rockefeller was stunned for a moment: "Do you really want to do this?"

"What do you think?" Du Yongxiao smiled lightly, "I am a businessman!"
