Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1096 1082 [Emperor’s Mindset]

Deshan's mother kept thanking Du Yongxiao and Jiang Ling'er, saying that she had met noble people and would never forget their kindness in her life.

Du Yongxiao was already accustomed to others calling him "great benefactor", but Jiang Ling'er was a little at a loss.

When she was a pirate queen, she killed people and seized goods. Later, when she became a businessman, she harmed others for her own benefit and never did anything kind.

At this moment, feeling the sincere gratitude from Deok-sun's mother, her heart couldn't help but surge with excitement.

Until Do Young-hyo told Deok-sun's mother that little Deok-sun was a talent and sang very well, and if possible, she would definitely achieve great things in the future. He hoped that Deok-sun's mother would slowly cultivate little Deok-sun's love of music. For this reason, he was willing to give extra subsidies and even pay for puppy Hwan's milk powder. This money would also be returned after Deok-sun became famous.
After hearing this, Deshan’s mother was stunned again. She felt that these were pie in the sky and couldn’t be better.

He also felt embarrassed for taking advantage of Du Yongxiao, so he hesitated and prepared to refuse.

However, Du Yongxiao did not give her a chance, saying that Xiao Deshan had already promised Li Xiuman that she would join Li Xiuman's music company in the future, so it would be best for Xiao Deshan to receive music training now...

Deok-sun's mother was surprised again.

She looked at her daughter and found these things unbelievable.

At this moment, little Deok-sun also begged her mother to let her learn music, saying that she liked singing. She also said that she really promised brother Lee Soo-man that she would cooperate with him in the future and become a big singer.

Looking at her daughter who seemed to be in a dream and the dreamlike reality, Deok-sun's mother finally nodded in agreement.

"As long as Deshan is good, I'm willing to do anything."

These are the exact words of Deok-sun’s mother.

After all, there is no parent in the world who doesn't wish the best for their children.

After saying this, Deshan's mother did something surprising to Du Yongxiao and Jiang Ling'er -
She actually handed Xiao Gouhuan over to Xiao Deshan, and then knelt down on the snow and kowtowed to Du Yongxiao and Jiang Ling'er!
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Deshan's mother said with tears in her eyes, "I didn't expect to meet noble people like you today! We are a poor family and there is nothing we can do. We can only kowtow to you and wish you a long life!"

After Deok-sun's mother finished speaking, she banged her head on the snow three times, "dong dong dong", leaving three holes in the snow, which shows how strong her strength was.

Du Yongxiao did not stop her. Jiang Ling'er had never seen anything like this before, so she quickly reached out to help her: "Mother Deshan, please don't do this! Please get up quickly!"

When she was the pirate queen, some of the captured merchants would kneel before Jiang Ling'er and kowtow to beg for mercy, while others would kneel before her and be terrified. However, Jiang Ling'er remained indifferent at that time, and could even be called cold-blooded.

Now Jiang Ling'er was at a loss for the first time, and felt for the first time how powerful the impact of this "kowtow" was.

Jiang Ling'er was still immersed in the emotions just now until Du Yongxiao took her away from Deshan's house and got into the car.

"So this is what it feels like to be a good person!" Jiang Ling'er said while sitting in the passenger seat.

Du Yongxiao couldn't help but look at Jiang Ling'er: "What did you say?" He didn't hear clearly.

Jiang Ling'er smiled and looked at Du Yongxiao: "I said to be a good person and do good things. I never thought that doing good things would feel like this before-"

"What kind of feeling?"

"It feels so good." Jiang Ling'er pointed to her chest. "It's warm here, even warmer than sitting by a fire in the winter."

Du Yongxiao glanced at Jiang Ling'er and finally understood what she was talking about.

Du Yongxiao can understand -
Jiang Ling'er grew up on a pirate island, and was exposed to murder, robbery and plunder. As a pirate, she had never done any good deeds, and how could she understand the pleasure of doing good deeds?
Help others,

May you have endless blessings and longevity!

"Now that I think about it, I was so stupid and such a failure!" Jiang Ling'er's eyes suddenly dimmed, and even her eye circles began to turn red.

Du Yongxiao asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Why are you saying such things again?"

Jiang Ling'er said sadly: "I had many opportunities to help many people, even save many people, but I didn't. Now that I think about it, I was so vicious and so bad..."

Jiang Ling'er's tears flowed.

Du Yongxiao had to stop the car, take out the handkerchief and hand it to her.

Jiang Ling'er took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, saying, "I was so bad at that time, really so bad! Even when women and babies begged in front of me, I remained indifferent, wuwuwu... At that time, I seemed to be possessed by a demon, no, I was possessed by evil. I knew nothing, understood nothing, and was so cold-blooded, so cruel..."

The more Jiang Ling'er spoke, the louder she cried.

Du Yongxiao put his arms around her, patted her back and comforted her.

Jiang Ling'er cried, "Today... Today I finally understood how bad I was before! I finally understood how hateful and vicious the things I did before were. At that time, I hated you for razing the Pirate Island, but now when I think about it, it was all retribution! Woo woo woo!"

Although Jiang Ling'er has a very good relationship with Du Yongxiao now, deep down she still cares about Du Yongxiao's razing of the Pirate Island.

Many times, she asked herself whether she should continue with Du Yongxiao, and whether she would be betraying everyone on Pirate Island by doing so?
Blame yourself!

Nightmare!

Often entangle her.

Keeps her awake at night.

But now-——
She finally understood.

All along, I have been wrong!

Pirate Island has harmed so many people, it was right for Du Yongxiao to raz it to the ground!

This is God opening his eyes!
Everything is relieved at this moment!

As Jiang Ling'er cried, as she shed tears,

Let go!

Du Yongxiao hugged her tightly in his arms.

she cried.

Crying like a pure little girl.

Outside the car window -
It started snowing again.

It fell to the ground in a rustling sound. Pure white!

……

Time continued to pass, and soon it was October 1979, 10.

These days are simply celebration days for Samsung Group.

Park Chung-hee, the leader of the Blue House, contacted the three major banks in South Korea and formally decided to support the development of Samsung Group's semiconductor plan, and thus agreed to lend 30 billion won to Samsung Electronics by Samsung Group.

As soon as the news came out, the Korean financial community was immediately jubilant.

After all, the Samsung Group has too many influences, and many people in South Korea work for Samsung. If Samsung goes bankrupt due to insufficient funds, many Koreans will lose their jobs.

In fact, this is also the main reason why President Park Chung-hee was really willing to help the Samsung Group, to control the unemployment rate and maintain stable and rapid development of South Korea under his rule.

As for Samsung Group's sacrifice to the Blue House in order to obtain loans, that is secondary.

Although Commander Park is greedy, he is not stupid.

To consolidate their dominance,
To satisfy personal interests,

He can still tell what is important and what is not.

As the ruler of Samsung Group, Lee Byung-chul once again used practical actions to show everyone that he is the most powerful chaebol in the Republic of Korea!
Whether it is the Hyundai Group, which is very close to the Blue House, the Hanjin Group that controls finances, or the Lotte Group that is in charge of people's livelihood, none of them are as sharp as their Samsung Group.

Of course, through the Samsung Electronics capital chain breakdown incident, Lee Byung-chul also saw clearly the abilities of his three sons.

The eldest brother, Li Changxi, has great ambitions but little talent, and is not worthy of being used.

The second son, Li Mengxi, is narrow-minded and cannot be helped.

Only the third brother, Li Jianxi, is worthy of praise for his strategic planning and management abilities.

To this end, Lee Byung-chul made a resolute decision today.

He asked his trusted subordinate Jin Kui to call back the third brother Li Jianxi from Samsung Chemicals, saying that he had important matters to discuss with him.

Three hours later--
Jin Kui, who brought Li Jianxi back from Causeway Bay, sat in the hands-down position with his hands on his knees and his eyes lowered, like an old monk in meditation.

Sitting in the main seat between the two, Lee Byung-chul, the Samsung emperor who had never been fond of the tea ceremony, was holding a cup of fresh tea. He lowered his head and gently moved the lid of the cup, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Du Yongxiao was really thoughtful. He did so many things to try to take over Samsung Electronics. Unfortunately, he failed in the end. He probably never dreamed that Samsung Electronics would be able to come back to life."

Li Bingzhe took a sip of the tea in his cup and looked at Li Jianxi with a half-smile: "You have been with him for so long, so how about it, in your opinion, do I win or he loses this round?"

Li Jianxi's expression froze, his eyes immediately became alert, and he looked at his father tentatively.

"My dear father, what do you mean? Actually, there is nothing between him and me. Even if there is, it was because of your instructions that I interacted with him before! Now that you ask me such a question, doesn't it mean--" Li Jianxi said respectfully.

Li Bingzhe smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Li Jianxi's words: "Don't say anymore, I know what you want to say. You don't have to be too alert. I don't mean to test you, nor do I mean to hold you accountable. My meaning is actually very simple. I just want you to stand by and express your opinion. I didn't expect to scare you like this-"

Li Bingzhe's words were clearly meant to tell Li Jianxi that he was not trying to deceive him.

Li Jianxi was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked directly at Li Bingzhe, saying calmly, "Father, in my opinion, although Du Yongxiao is powerful, he is still the most experienced. Your move of cutting off the source of funds has directly cut off his idea. He originally wanted to use his assistance to grab the management rights of Samsung Electronics, but he didn't expect that you could get help from the Blue House and directly get a loan from the three major banks!"

"Now that we have this money, it will not only help our Samsung Electronics to revive, but also help our Samsung Group to soar! So from any perspective, you are much better than Du Yongxiao! Yes, that's my opinion!"

"You didn't compliment me on purpose?" Li Bingzhe picked up the teacup again and asked softly.

"Yes!" Li Jianxi answered decisively: "And as far as I know, whether it is Hyundai Group, Hanjin Group, or other large groups, they all admire you, father! After all, it is not so easy to enter the Blue House. Everyone knows that President Park Chung-hee has always been harsh on us Samsung, but this time he is willing to take the initiative to help. It can be seen that your charm is irresistible!"

Li Bingzhe stared at Li Jianxi with a smile on his face, making people feel that he seemed very kind and good.

Only his sharp eyes told everyone that he was testing this third child at the moment.

At this moment, there was no other unusual emotion on that face that looked exactly like his youth except for enthusiastic compliments.

Li Bingzhe looked away with a little disappointment and nodded: "Well, you said it very well."

Li Jianxi had been with his father for so long that he could sense his father's emotions. Li Bingzhe's disappointment immediately made Li Jianxi feel something, and he hurriedly spoke again: "Father, I haven't finished speaking yet--"

Li Bingzhe waved his hand: "No need, you are tired too, go back and rest first!"

Li Jianxi opened his mouth, but felt that it would be useless to continue talking, and it would instead cause Li Bingzhe to dislike him. So he slowly stood up, greeted Li Bingzhe and Jin Kui in turn, and slowly walked out of the living room.

After Li Jianxi left, the atmosphere in the living room fell into a brief stagnation. Li Bingzhe suddenly sighed quietly, as if he was no longer the domineering Samsung emperor of the past, but an ordinary old man who worked hard for his future generations.

"It's a headache. I originally thought that the third brother could be entrusted with the business, but as you saw just now, this guy only knows how to flatter me and say things against his will without even blinking an eyelid. How can he be in charge of the overall situation with such a personality?" Li Bingzhe said with a helpless smile.

"If he had just said that Du Yongxiao was at least older than me and more handsome than me, that would be good! Because these are all facts. But he only knows how to praise me and constantly put Du Yongxiao down - is a Du person someone who can be defeated so easily? He founded the Du Empire at a young age, and he is dominant in Asia and even in the United States. How can such a person be a weakling?"

"He only saw that I had him interact with the Du family in order to use the Du family to force the Blue House to help us, but he didn't see the extraordinary interpersonal relationships I had set up for him - he is short-sighted and hopeless."

As Lee Byung-chul's confidant, Kim Kyu is 50 years old this year. He has been working with Lee Byung-chul since he opened Samsung Grocery Store and sold flour. Now of course he understands what Lee Byung-chul is thinking.

So Jin Kui grinned and said, "President, what the Third Young Master said just now is actually correct. You have always been very strict and harsh with the three brothers. They are walking on thin ice and will think about any problem in a complicated way. Just like before, you were just asking who is stronger between you and Du Yongxiao, but he had a thousand thoughts in mind, so he deliberately agreed with you to avoid you getting angry."

"Are you afraid of making me angry? So he made up a bunch of nonsense to fool me?" Li Bingzhe said dissatisfiedly: "Originally, I have decided today to hand over Samsung Group to him in the future, but now it seems that he still needs to work hard!"

Jin Kui smiled slightly: "It is up to you, the president, to decide whether to hand it over or not, but there is one thing I can be sure of -"

"what?"

"The Republic of Korea is in urgent need of boosting morale. Now that Samsung has received strong support from the Blue House, it is time to invite leaders from all walks of life to gather together to discuss major plans!"

Hearing this, Li Bingzhe smiled and put down the teacup--
"That's right. The big guys in the Republic of Korea have been suffering from Du Yongxiao for a long time. Now they can finally hold their heads high and feel proud. It's time for us to get together! Hahaha!"

"Then the time will be set at——"

"Three days later!"
