Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1063 1049 [The Strong are Respected]

"Mr. Du, how could you do this?" Li Jianxi was shocked and looked at Du Yongxiao in disbelief.

"Third brother, I told you before that he wouldn't be so kind!"

"Yes, see, the fox's tail is exposed!"

Li Mengxi and Li Changxi made sarcastic remarks on the side.

There was a commotion.

"I never knew Mr. Du was so cunning!"

"Yes, they actually want to compete for the management rights of Samsung Electronics."

People were talking a lot.

Li Bingzhe looked calm, as if he was not surprised by what Du Yongxiao said.

"Everyone, please be quiet." Li Bingzhe said suddenly.

The scene fell silent, and everyone looked at the Samsung CEO.

Li Bingzhe looked at Du Yongxiao and smiled slightly, "Mr. Du, I admire you for being able to say such things so calmly. If you want the management rights of our Samsung Electronics, then you need to ask me first. After all, I am the chairman, right?"

Du Yongxiao also laughed and confronted Li Bingzhe: "You are right, so let me ask you now, does President Li think that my request is excessive?"

"What do you think?" Lee Byung-chul joked, "Are you a little naive to think that you can own the management rights of our Samsung Electronics just by paying a little money?"

"Naive? It seems that Samsung Electronics is not doing well right now. Its capital chain is broken. If there is no more financial assistance, I'm afraid it will be disastrous."

"You mean bankruptcy?" Li Bingzhe smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of sarcasm. "Mr. Du, this is South Korea, and our Samsung Group is the largest company in South Korea. Do you think it can go bankrupt?"

Du Yongxiao shrugged: "Continue--"

"Continue? You want me to continue? Haha, instead of me talking to myself here, I guess you still don't believe it, so I should prove it with actual actions!"

Li Bingzhe clapped his hands and said, "Someone come in."

"Yes, President!"

The man in black guarding the meeting room bowed and went out.

Soon three middle-aged men in suits came in from outside.

After the three of them came in, they nodded to Li Bingzhe, and then looked at Du Yongxiao together.

"Come here, Mr. Du, let me introduce you. These three are the heads of Korea Bank. I'll introduce you to them."

Du Yongxiao smiled, "You mean - Samsung Electronics borrowed money from Korea Bank?"

"Yes!" Li Bingzhe smiled, "Although the final contract has not been signed yet, these three have promised me that they can provide sufficient help to our Samsung Electronics."

Li Bingzhe looked at Du Yongxiao arrogantly and said, "I'm sorry, but you made a wrong calculation. You thought you could use the funds to blackmail me and take our management rights. No, now your plan has failed."

Du Yongxiao shrugged again. "Chairman Li, I admire your courage for finding a backer like Daehan Bank in such a short time. But you just said that you have only reached a preliminary agreement and haven't signed the contract yet, right? Since you haven't signed the contract yet, there must be variables."

This time, Li Bingzhe did not speak. Instead, a bald man among the three people from Daehan Bank sneered, "Mr. Du, huh? I don't know what else you have to rely on to say such a thing!"

Du Yongxiao looked at the other party: "Excuse me, who are you——"

"I'm Shin Dong-wook, president of the Seoul branch of Daehan Bank!" The bald man looked at Du Yong-xiao arrogantly and said with disdain, "You can remember my name. Maybe if you need money in the future, you can contact me!"

The last sentence was clearly a mockery of Du Yongxiao: Don't think that your Du Group is so great, there will always be times when you are short of money.

Du Yongxiao nodded, "Shin Dongxu, huh? Very good, I have remembered your name. But you are wrong about one thing——"

"Which point?"

"That's right, we're short of money!" Du Yongxiao took a sip of coffee with a smile, looked at Shen Dongxu and said, "Our Du Group has always been short of everything, but not money!"

"Hahaha!" Shin Dong Wook laughed.

Others also ridiculed Du Yongxiao.

"Mr. Du, you're funny, don't you know? As a financial professional, especially one who runs a bank, I have never seen a company that doesn't lack money!"

"Yeah, this guy is too arrogant!"

"Who does he take himself for?"

Everyone laughed.

Li Bingzhe looked calm as he watched Du Yongxiao become the target of public criticism and being attacked.

Du Yongxiao calmly put down his coffee cup and said, "I don't really like to show off, but the reality is - I really don't lack money! So my favorite thing to do is to shop all over the world! I buy things from the United States! I buy things from Africa, too! Now it's South Korea's turn. I also bought something not long ago -"

"What is that? Is it kimchi from our Republic of Korea? Hahaha!" Shin Dong-wook sneered, feeling like a hero on the scene, chasing after the invader from Hong Kong.

"What did I buy?" Du Yongxiao looked at Yan Xiong beside him with a smile.

Yan Xiong stood up, looked at everyone, and coughed, "It seems to be - Daehan Bank!"

"Ahem, what?" Shen Dongxu didn't hear clearly.

Yan Xiong said loudly: "I mean, we have acquired your Daehan Bank. Do you understand?"

boom!
"What?" Shen Dongxu's head exploded.

The others also looked incredulous.

Even Li Bingzhe, who had been as still as a mountain, couldn't help but flicker his eyes when he heard this, and he looked at Du Yongxiao.

"No, it's impossible! Haha, you must be kidding." Shin Dongxu laughed.

The other two heads of Daehan Bank also laughed.

What is Korea Bank?
It is one of the four largest banks in South Korea, with 37 branches and nearly 10,000 employees.

The most important thing is that this bank is an independent bank supported by the South Korean government. Although it is not controlled by the government, it has a high reputation and connections in the government. Anyone who wants to acquire it must ask the government for advice.

So they would never believe that Du Yongxiao could acquire their bank in one go, unless he was Superman.

As if I could hear their thoughts.

Du Yongxiao took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped the corners of his mouth, saying lightly: "I am not a superman, but I have the ability to make money! I just said that I lack everything except money. It is more than enough to acquire a mere bank of yours!"

"Haha, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have money? You are wrong. Daehan Bank is an independent bank protected by the South Korean government. You want to acquire it, have you asked our government?" Shin Dong-wook sarcastically.

Du Yongxiao smiled and said, "Your government? I remember it well. It seems that your government always asks the US government for advice before doing anything. And it just so happens that I have some connection with the US government--"

Du Yongxiao did not explain clearly.

Does he have more than just some connection with the US government?

The current US President Carter is on close terms with him, and Du Yongxiao is the largest donor to the Democratic Party of the United States.

The reason why Du Yongxiao's business can be so dominant in the United States is related to this.

Seeing Du Yongxiao's confident expression, Shen Dongxu and the others still found it hard to believe. At this moment, a commotion was heard outside.

"what happened?"

Everyone looked out the window suspiciously, hoping to see what was happening outside through the window.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
There was a knock on the door.

Then a sturdy man in a black suit came in, walked up to Lee Byung-chul, bent over and whispered something in Lee Byung-chul's ear. Lee Byung-chul's expression changed, frowned, and said something in a low voice.

Everyone was wondering what happened when Li Bingzhe said in a low voice, "Excuse me, everyone. There are a large number of demonstrators gathered outside the hotel. They are employees of Daehan Bank. They are protesting against the acquisition of their bank by the Du Group. Now the police have blocked the scene and a conflict has occurred between the two sides."

boom!
The scene exploded.

"What? Daehan Bank was really acquired?"

Everyone looked at Du Yongxiao in surprise.

Du Yongxiao smiled, nodded, turned around and said to Yan Xiong: "Wait a minute, write down the protesters and make a list. Anyone who doesn't like our acquisition can resign automatically!"

This is the rhythm of being fired!
"Yes!" Yan Xiong sneered, "Since they oppose the acquisition, let them get out!" After saying that, he looked at Shen Dongxu.

At this time, Shin Dongxu was sweating profusely.

The other two responsible persons following him were also trembling.

They were still showing off their might just now, but they didn't expect that in the blink of an eye even their base camp was uprooted.

There was a moment of silence.

Everyone was quietly digesting this shocking turn of events.

"President Shin Dong-wook, huh?" Du Yong-hyo smiled as he looked at the trembling, distraught bald man. "As I said just now, I've taken note of your name, so you can leave now!"

A pun!
go?
How to go?
Get out of here or get out of the bank?

Shen Dongxu thought about the villa he had just bought and the loan he hadn't paid off yet. His son was still studying in the United States and needed a huge amount of money for a year. His wife loved traveling...

If he loses his job,
It's all over!
Not to mention anything else, his wife would tear him apart and eat him!

Plop!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, President Shin Dong-wook, who had been so arrogant just now, knelt down in front of Du Yong-xiao, looked at him with pleading eyes, and said in a bitter voice: "I'm sorry, Mr. Du! I was wrong!"

Pfft!
Pfft!
Seeing this, the other two bank managers who were with him also knelt down!
"Mr. Du, no, it's the president! We were wrong!"

In Korean companies, the highest rank is the chairman, followed by the president.

Now that Du Yongxiao has acquired Korea Bank, he has deservedly become the chairman.

"Don't call me president!" Du Yongxiao said with a smile, "I'm not used to that title. Also, although I acquired your bank, I'm not the one who manages you, so don't kneel here and beg me, I'm not qualified."

"How could it be?" Shen Dongxu was almost crying. He crawled to Du Yongxiao on his knees and cried bitterly: "You are the owner of Daehan Bank now--"

"How could that be? I just have some money. Like you said, I can't do whatever I want." Du Yongxiao continued to laugh.

"No, no, no! I was wrong. I have a shallow understanding. It turns out that money really can do whatever you want!"

"Yes, it's our fault! Please be magnanimous and forgive us!"

The three of them burst into tears.

The atmosphere at the scene was weird.

They felt very strange watching three grown men kneeling down in front of a Chinese man with tears and snot streaming down their faces without any shame.

"Useless things!"

Li Mengxi looked down on the three people.

"What a waste!"

Li Changxi was disdainful.

"Ah!" Li Bingzhe sighed and looked at Du Yongxiao and said, "Mr. Du Yongxiao, just let them go. They were just pawns in our game from the beginning to the end."

Du Yongxiao nodded, then waved to Shen Dongxu and the other two: "Go down!"

"Thank you, Mr. Du! Woohoo!"

The three of them retreated, choking with sobs.

Too thrilling.

I guess they will never forget it.

Du Yongxiao turned around and looked at Li Bingzhe: "Chairman Li, now, do you think you can still get a loan from Daehan Bank?"

Li Bingzhe smiled, "Mr. Du, your move of cutting off the source of the problem is very powerful, but don't forget that we have four major banks in South Korea. Without Daehan, we still have Woori Bank, Kookmin Bank, and Shinhan Bank. These three banks have a very good relationship with us, Samsung."

Du Yongxiao nodded. "I understand what you mean. So, is this the end of our meeting today?"

Li Bingzhe stood up and took the initiative to walk to Du Yongxiao this time, holding out his hand and saying, "Heroes are born young!"

Du Yongxiao shook hands with him: "Old ginger is still spicy!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

First time fighting,

End.

……

When Du Yongxiao ended the meeting and left the Shilla Hotel, he could see through the bright night lights in front of the hotel that a dense crowd of bank protesters were confronting the South Korean police in front of the hotel. Led by the protesters in the front row holding loudspeakers, they shouted slogans and waved placards rhythmically and did not take any violent actions. The police no longer dispersed them. Outside the hotel, a large number of citizens gathered to watch the excitement.

Yan Xiong and Zhuang Dingxian protected Du Yongxiao and Jiang Ling'er.

In addition, Li Bingzhe also sent people to protect them and let them leave.

When the crowd saw Du Yongxiao and the others coming out, they became agitated, and the leader shouted at them hysterically.

Du Yongxiao got into the car under the escort of the crowd, pointed outside through the car window, and asked Yan Xiong: "What do their slogans and banners say?"

Du Yongxiao had just clashed with Lee Byung-chul on the spot, and both sides had won and lost. The appearance of the demonstrators at this time still made him feel unhappy.

Yan Xiong hurried to find out, and quickly replied: "Nothing, just the same old story, saying that they in Korea cannot sell banks to us Chinese! They are very unfriendly to the Chinese, and have a deep prejudice against them!"

Du Yongxiao sneered when he heard this and said, “Nonsense! These people have been crippled by us before, of course they don’t like Chinese people.”

Especially now they don't even have a little autonomy. Politically they are dependent on the United States, and the Americans' farts are fragrant. Economically they also follow the lead of the United States, and everything is centered on the interests of the United States. Militarily they are even more pitiful, with American soldiers still stationed here, and they have to report any military actions to the Americans first.

So what if they are wary of China?

This is a world where the strong are respected. If you don’t accept it, fight!
Du Yongxiao glanced coldly at the protesters and ordered Yan Xiong again, "Record the names of the protesters. If they don't work out, fire them all!"

"Yes! I'll kill one to warn the rest! These Koreans!" Yan Xiong showed a ferocious expression.
