Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Boss Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong Industries coughed lightly and said to everyone in the hall with a smile: "When it comes to Hong Kong's economy, we all contribute a lot. Especially this year, Hong Kong's economic growth is entirely driven by our real estate business. Not only does it solve After the economic crisis, it also provided many jobs for the people, so what Li Sheng said is really right. We must all work together to take over Hengchuang Real Estate, and we cannot let the behemoth Du Group collapse, otherwise Hong Kong's economy may be affected. , go back a few years!”

When Qiu Degen heard Boss Li speak, he snorted slightly and turned his head to the side.

Everyone knows that this boss Li has been fighting secretly with Du Yongxiaoming for many years, and Du Yongxiao always takes the lead and seizes the opportunity. Why not take down Hengchuang if you finally seize the opportunity this time?

Now the situation is very clear. Those who are confronting Du Yongxiao want to take advantage of the opportunity to annex Hengchuang. Those who are slightly related to Du Yongxiao may help when the time comes. Then it will evolve into a big game between the two capitals, which will affect everyone. No good.

However, Lee Zhaoheng and Boss Li have made it clear that they are going to cause trouble. As a bank, Qiu Degen must now choose his side. After all, he is also a businessman, an investment banker, and what he pursues is maximizing capital. As for friends, interests are not important. To put it bluntly, business is not about human relationships.

What's more, judging from the current situation, more and more people are defecting from the Du Alliance, and the stock price of Hengchuang Real Estate is getting lower and lower. Du Yongxiao has been retreating steadily, and it seems that he is at the end of his battle and is struggling.

Now Lee Zhaoheng and Li Jiacheng have made their words clear, telling everyone present that whether you, Qiu Degen, participates or not, they are determined to eat this carve-up feast, bring down the Du Group, and let everyone eat soup and meat together.

"Boss Qiu..." Lee Zhaoheng looked at Qiu Degen's face and was about to speak up to smooth things over, but Qiu Degen did not give him this chance.

He interrupted Li Zhaoheng: "Li Sheng, you also know my relationship with Du Yongxiao. After all, we have cooperated before. Now I take the opportunity to win Hengchuang. It's not that I don't want to, but I still have to be principled. As for interests, If you take it too seriously, no matter how much money you make, what's the use?" After saying that, he glanced at the crowd.

At the scene, Li Zhaofu and Du Yongxiao from Far East Securities also had a good relationship. When Qiu Degen looked over, he lowered his head in shame.

Lee Siu-heng did not expect that Qiu Degen would be so stubborn. He was afraid that he would ruin the atmosphere of the scene, especially the momentum that he had finally built up to defeat Du. He immediately said: "Hey, Boss Qiu, if you want to be a benevolent and righteous person, I won't stop you, but I hope You can remain silent and don't destroy our friendship with you. Besides, for us, business is business and favor is favor. Do you want to risk your life to save a dying person? "

Everyone in the hall had different expressions after hearing this, but no one jumped out to refute Li Zhaoheng.

If Du Yongxiao dies, everyone will be happy.

Who could object?

But in terms of face, everyone still has to pretend. After all, they are different from Li Zhaoheng and Li Jiacheng. They are all people who want face.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat solidified. Several tycoons were holding tea cups or holding cigars in their mouths, and they all looked like it had nothing to do with them.

Li Zhaoji and Du Yongxiao, the bosses of Henderson Land Development, also tried their hand at each other and knew that Du Yongxiao was powerful.

He also participated in the alliance that defeated Du this time, but he has never been in the vanguard. Instead, he left all the limelight to Li Zhaoheng and Boss Li. The reason is that he still has a clear understanding of Du Yongxiao. Du Yongxiao There was no way he could be beaten without any preparation and be defeated without any preparation. He was waiting and watching -

In short, if the situation is not right and you can avoid touching this pool of water, then you will definitely not touch it.

His position represents not only himself, but also the thousands of employees who are following him to eat. If he makes a wrong move, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, Li Zhaoji, a major real estate developer in Hong Kong, did not want to speak, but Lee Zhaoheng was not ready to let him go.

"Fourth brother, after all, you are also a well-known figure in the real estate industry. Are you going to take over Hengchuang Real Estate now? Why don't you say a few words at this time?" Li Zhaoheng glanced at Li Zhaoji, who was like an old monk in trance, and asked with a smile.

Li Zhaoji seemed to have been wandering in the world. He suddenly came back to his senses when he heard Li Zhaoheng speak. However, he did not intend to pick up the hot potato handed over by Li Zhaoheng. Instead, he picked up the teacup with a smile and walked to the hall. Everyone in the crowd signaled: "Come, please have tea."

Please tea?

Invite a ghost!

Lee Zhaoheng would not let it go easily, and said with a smile: "Drinking tea, you have a lot of time. Now I only need a word from you, Fourth Brother, so many of us are at your disposal!"

"Uh, listen to my orders? What you say...it seems that I have never been the leader of this alliance from beginning to end, so why should everyone listen to my orders?" Li Zhaoji spread his hands, took a sip of tea, put it down, and said with a smile: "Hey, this is Hong Kong , Hong Kong is very particular about democracy. Since everyone is here, they are all interested in joining the alliance to defeat Du Du, so there is no need to pretend to be a good person. Those who are willing to work together to make a lot of money, just show their hands and vote, and are not willing to take advantage of others' danger. If you don’t do anything, what do you think?”

"Okay! Fourth brother is still quick to talk!" Li Zhaoheng applauded. "Since we want democracy, we must be open and honest! I, Lee Siu-hyung, will be the first to raise my hand!"

Lee Zhaoheng raised his hand.

Li Jiacheng smiled: "Then I will be second!"

He raised his hand and looked at the crowd.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

Three seconds of silence.

"I'm third!"

When everyone took a look, it was Pang Dingyuan, the Hong Kong steel king.

This person also has a very good relationship with Du Yongxiao, and they invested in minerals in Kenya, Africa. Unexpectedly, he would take the initiative to stand up at this time.

You know, even though he joined the anti-Du alliance, he never said a word from the beginning to the end. Everyone thought that he was too concerned about his old relationship with Du Yongxiao to speak out, but they didn't expect it to turn around like this.

Qiu Degen, Li Zhaofu and others had mixed expressions regarding Pang Dingyuan's stand-up.

They are very aware of the close relationship between Pang Dingyuan and Du Yongxiao. They can even say that they were life and death friends in Africa.

Now he actually takes the initiative to overthrow Du, which can't help but shock people.

When Pang Dingyuan saw everyone looking at him, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he laughed and said: "In business, there is no need to pay too much attention! Mother-in-law and mother-in-law are only women's work! Since Hengchuang can't hold on, instead of taking advantage of outsiders, why don't we take advantage of it? Down!"

"Boss Pang is right!"

"Boss Pang still has a high vision!"

Everyone praised him one after another.

Pang Dingyuan blushed and was out of breath, and even clasped his fists in return: "Where! Where!"

Qiu Degen could only snort coldly when he saw this, feeling that Pang Dingyuan was shameless.

Li Zhaofu's eyes lit up, as if he had found an opportunity or an excuse.

Look here again,

The situation immediately turned one-sided. With Pang Dingyuan taking the lead, the others did not hesitate and voted with a show of hands, expressing their willingness to join the alliance to defeat Du Yongxiao, defeat Du Yongxiao, and annex Hengchuang Real Estate.

Soon, only Qiu Degen and Li Zhaofu were left among the thirteen people present.

Li Zhaofu glanced at Qiu Degen, and finally raised his hand and said: "I stand with everyone!"

"Hahaha! Okay, good choice!"

Everyone at the scene applauded him.

Li Zhaofu smiled awkwardly.

Finally, Lee Zhaoheng, Boss Li and others looked at Qiu Degen, the only one who did not raise his hand.

Li Zhaoheng said: "Boss Qiu, as the saying goes, it is important to choose the right friend. If you are not a friend, then you can only be an enemy!" His eyes were cold and stern.

Everyone looked at Qiu Degen together.

Seeing this, Qiu Degen could only sigh: "Okay, I'll follow!"

Since then,

The Dudu Alliance was officially established!

Hengchuang Real Estate has become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Du Group is even more so,

Shaky!

…

Hong Kong, Huo Family.

Surrounded by four police cars, Du Yongxiao's Bentley with license plate No. 1 slowly stopped in front of the Huo family's gate.

Datou Wen and Zhuang Dingxian got out of the car first, observing their surroundings calmly.

"Daddy, why don't you go in with me?" Yan Xiong turned off the car and looked back at Du Yongxiao, who was sitting in the back seat.

Du Yongxiao was about to get out of the car, but as if he was reminded by Yan Xiong, he paused: "Have someone go to HSBC Bank to ask Shen Bi to come over. I want to see him when I come out."

Yan Xiong nodded: "I know!"

Du Yongxiao bent down and walked out of the car. Datou Wen and Zhuang Dingxian immediately stepped forward, protecting him on the left and right.

"Don't be so nervous. No one dares to touch me at the door of Mr. Huo's house even if he eats arsenic." Du Yongxiao smiled: "Besides, I am also the police chief. Anyone who wants to eat arsenic will live longer." , let him give it a try.”

Datou Wen and Zhuang Dingxian looked at each other, then nodded, and watched Du Yongxiao walk into the Huo family's door step by step under the guidance of the Huo family who came up quickly, and then returned to the Bentley car.

"Ah Xiao!"

Under the guidance of the servants of the Huo family, Du Yongxiao had just stepped into the backyard when a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

As the voice sounded, Du Yongxiao's good brother Huo Dashao walked out of the living room quickly. He greeted Du Yongxiao with a smile and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"What, did you guess that I would come?" Du Yongxiao stepped forward and hugged Young Master Huo gently.

"If you don't come, then you don't regard me as a friend!" Young Master Huo complained, "Now, don't say anything else, see my father first! He is in the study -"

Young Master Huo took Du Yongxiao towards the study and said, "Hey! Do you believe me or not?" He turned and glanced at Du Yongxiao who was following him closely.

"Believe it or not?" Du Yongxiao said casually.

"Do you believe I can help you?" Mr. Huo stopped, looked anxious, stared at him seriously and said.

Du Yongxiao reached out and rubbed his temples, then rubbed his face hard: "Believe it! You are my boss, how can I not believe you?"

Young Master Huo suddenly showed a happy smile and said in an arrogant tone: "Don't worry, I have already made an agreement with my father. No matter how powerful that bullshit Dudu Alliance is, I will fully support you!"

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly and said, "When I hear what you say, I feel like I am dead."

Young Master Huo laughed: "It's not that we are doomed, but that we are doomed! Hengchuang's current stock price is about to fall to the floor, but you and I are friends. Even if we go to hell, I will give you a hand -"

Du Yongxiao looked at Young Master Huo's serious look, his heart warmed slightly, and he made an exaggerated expression at Young Master Huo: "Wow! Then I really want to thank you boss!"

Young Master Huo waved his hands nonchalantly: "You two brothers, we have nothing to say!"

While the two were talking, they came to the study room on the second floor. From a distance, they saw that the lights were still on in the study room. Apparently, Mr. Huo was waiting for him.

…

Mr. Huo had a cup of strong, smoking tea in front of him and was reading a newspaper while wearing reading glasses.

When Young Master Huo walked in with Du Yongxiao, he did not raise his head to look at Du Yongxiao, but continued to read the news in the newspaper.

Du Yongxiao didn't speak, he just stood.

Young Master Huo said: "Father, Ah Xiao is here."

Mr. Huo just said a faint "hmm" and continued to read the newspaper.

Young Master Huo looked slightly embarrassed and gestured to Du Yongxiao twice, indicating that he should find a seat and sit down first.

As soon as Du Yongxiao sat down, Mr. Huo folded the newspaper he had finished and looked at Du Yongxiao coldly through his reading glasses.

"Father, I have brought Ah Xiao here. Look -" Mr. Huo saw that Mr. Huo had read the newspaper and was ready to take the initiative to ask for help from Du Yongxiao.

"Shut up." Mr. Huo said.

"Ah?" Mr. Huo was stunned.

"You get out."

"Well?"

"I said, let you out."

"But father--" Mr. Huo still wants to fight for it again.

"go out!"

"yes!"

Mr. Huo looked at his father with some reluctance, and then said to Du Yongxiao: "Take care! Also, please beg my father, he is very soft-hearted."

Du Yongxiao made a gesture of understanding towards him and watched him leave.

Soon, Du Yongxiao and Mr. Huo were the only two people in the study.

Boss Huo didn't even prepare tea for Du Yongxiao, he just said: "Are you here to ask for help?"

Before Du Yongxiao could speak, Mr. Huo interrupted him and said, "I know it's difficult for you to do now. The stock price of Hengchuang has plummeted, which has affected the stability of the Du Group. And Lee Zhaoheng has organized an alliance to overthrow the Du Group, eyeing you and telling you Really, you are in a dangerous situation."

Du Yongxiao nodded and admitted: "It is very dangerous."

"So you came here so late to ask me to help you? You have a good relationship with the young master, and you and I have been friends for many years. Logically, I should help you, but this time -"

Boss Huo took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "The Anti-Du Alliance is too powerful. In addition to Li Zhaoheng and Li Jiacheng, there are also Li Zhaoji and others. I even heard that Pang Dingyuan, Li Zhaofu, and even Qiu Degen have joined. Go in, tsk tsk!”

Boss Huo looked at Du Yongxiao with a strange expression and said: "I really don't know whether I should envy you or say you are unlucky. It is unprecedented, or unique, to be able to let a group of tycoons and tycoons from Hong Kong deal with you alone!"

Du Yongxiao nodded, "Indeed, the opponent is a bit stronger this time."

"Is this too strong?" Mr. Huo was almost amused by Du Yongxiao's words. He took a sip from the tea bowl and said, "I really don't know what to say about you. You are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. After all, you have been in the business world for so many years. Call you arrogant, but I know your character well..."

"Hey!" Mr. Huo sighed, shook his head, looked at Du Yongxiao and said seriously: "Okay, tell me, how much do you want me to support you this time? One hundred million, or two hundred million?"

Du Yongxiao smiled: "Aren't you afraid of wasting your time?"

"Afraid! Of course I'm afraid! But who made you and I fall in love, and that silly boy, the eldest young master, helped you plead for mercy?"

"Are you willing to give up 200 million just because of a chance encounter?" Du Yongxiao asked.

Mr. Huo said seriously: "Sometimes I do something even though I know it's not possible. This is my character!"

Bang bang bang!

Du Yongxiao applauded and praised: "Now I know why, boss, you were able to rise to prominence in the 1950s and achieve today's hegemony! The prohibition that no one dares to touch is just a piece of waste paper in your old eyes!"

Mr. Huo laughed loudly and said with great pride: "For the country and the people, why not go bankrupt? This time I will spend 200 million for you, I accept it!"

"Okay!" Du Yongxiao suddenly stood up and looked at Mr. Huo with burning eyes: "Then now I have a request!"

"Come on, how much do you want? But it can't exceed 200 million!" Mr. Huo picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea with a calm attitude, as if 200 million was not worth mentioning at all.

"My request is -" Du Yongxiao said firmly, "Don't do anything! Especially don't pay to help me!"

puff!

Mr. Huo spit out a mouthful of tea and looked at Du Yongxiao in surprise: "What?"
