Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1098 1084 [King's Style]

"Mr. Du, you are so polite!"

Without waiting for Du Yongxiao to come over, Li Mingbai and Jin Zhongji had already stepped forward and bowed to Du Yongxiao.

"We are all here, so you don't have to be polite!" Du Yongxiao offered his seat and motioned for the two to sit down. "I didn't prepare much, so I just asked the canteen to prepare some small dishes. But this wine--"

Du Yongxiao smiled, walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of Feitian Moutai and said, "It is the best liquor in China. You two can try it."

In that era, mainland China was short of materials. In order to earn foreign exchange, it exported good domestic products abroad, and Moutai was one of them.

However, Moutai is also a luxury product in South Korea. To be precise, all liquors are considered expensive in South Korea, sometimes even more expensive than foreign liquors. Koreans' favorite drink is the inexpensive and high-quality Korean sake, which has a light alcohol content and a bland taste, and is prone to headaches after drinking.

When they saw Moutai, the eyes of Li Mingbai and Kim Jong-ki, who have always been addicted to alcohol, lit up.

Koreans like to drink, it has become a habit.

"It really cost Mr. Du a lot of money!"

"Yes, these dishes all look delicious, especially the white wine. I've drunk it before, and it smells really good!"

"Since you two like it, please take a seat and have a drink!" Du Yongxiao invited again.

The three of them sat down.

They drank and chatted.

"President Li, thank you for your hard work. Huawei Automobile can officially enter the market, and you have made an invaluable contribution!" Du Yongxiao raised his glass and said, "This glass of wine is for you! You will definitely get a share of the dividends at the end of the year!"

Du Yongxiao has always been clear about rewards and punishments in his work and life, and he knows that in addition to spiritual encouragement, material rewards are more important.

As expected, Li Mingbai was extremely excited.

He quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "Mr. Du, you are too polite. This is what I should do! I will drink first to show my respect!"

After Li Mingbai finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass, tilted his head back, and drank it all.

Crisp and neat.

Du Yongxiao applauded and drank the wine in his glass. He refilled it and raised it to Jin Zhongji and said, "Professor Jin, I'm really sorry. I originally wanted to ask you to help with Samsung Electronics, but... It doesn't matter. It's a matter of time. It's a temporary solution for you to help with Huawei Automobile now. Please don't worry!"

"How could that be, Mr. Du, you are too polite!" Although Jin Zhongji is an intellectual and has been in Samsung for so long, although he doesn't know how to flatter, he knows how to handle the relationship with his superiors. He also raised his glass and said, "I am very grateful to be selected by Mr. Du and recruited into the Du Group. Besides, I am doing well in Huawei Automobile now, and many technical problems can be solved together with the team! In short, Mr. Du, you can rest assured, as long as it is about technology, I will never hide anything!"

"Haha, well said!" Du Yongxiao and Jin Zhongji clinked their glasses and drank them all.

The three of them drank a few more glasses of wine. At this time, there was a knock on the door.

It was Jiang Ling'er who came in, looking a little anxious.

"What happened?" Du Yongxiao asked, putting down his wine glass.

Jiang Ling'er hesitated and looked at Li Mingbai and Jin Zhongji.

Du Yongxiao said: "President Li and Professor Jin are not outsiders, so feel free to tell us what you have to say."

Du Yongxiao's words once again warmed the hearts of Li Mingbai and Jin Zhongji. They felt that Du Yongxiao really treated them as his own people and were not on guard at all.

"It's like this." Jiang Ling'er said, "Samsung Group has sent you an invitation letter, inviting you to attend their alliance conference in three days."

"Alliance meeting?" Du Yongxiao knew what Samsung was planning without having to guess.

"They're waiting for your reply now. Do you want to join them?" Jiang Ling'er looked at Du Yongxiao.

Li Mingbai and Jin Zhongji also looked at Du Yongxiao.

Since they have become senior managers, they certainly understand Samsung's intention this time.

"Mr. Du, this is clearly a Hongmen Banquet." Li Mingbai said, "As far as I know, Samsung Group has been strongly supported by the Blue House this time. Not only has it received 30 billion won in support, but it also plans to build Samsung Group into a unique corporate leader in the Republic of Korea."

"Yes, I heard about it too." Kim Jong-ki said, "Although I left Samsung for some time, I still have some friends there. They said that Samsung is now preparing to integrate other Korean conglomerates to form a chaebol alliance. When they become the leader, they can use the integrated funds to develop together and become a giant!"

"Mr. Du, they invited you this time just to show you their power. You are Chinese, and they have to unite against you!" Li Mingbai continued, "In my opinion, you should not participate."

"What President Li said makes sense. If you go, you will only be laughed at by them and become the cornerstone of the chaebol alliance." Kim Jong-ki said bluntly.

Du Yongxiao was not angry after hearing this. He picked up the bottle and poured a glass of wine. He sipped it and said, "Strong liquor tastes better. Do you know why? Because of high-temperature distillation. Anything that wants to achieve perfection and perfection needs to be forged in an extremely harsh environment!"

After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, he looked up at Li Mingbai and Jin Zhongji who were worried about him and said, "I know you are doing this for my own good. But I absolutely cannot be cowardly at this time! Not for myself, but for the Du Group!"

Du Yongxiao's eyes lit up: "The reason why our Du Group can dominate the world and terrify our competitors is not because we are strong, but because we become more courageous and never bow our heads!"

After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said, "Besides, it's still unclear who is the dragon and who is the insect this time..."

"Uh, Mr. Du, what do you mean by this?" Li Mingbai and Jin Zhongji asked in surprise.

Even Jiang Ling'er looked at Du Yongxiao curiously.

Du Yongxiao turned the wine glass and smiled faintly: "Today is October 10rd, right? In three days it will be the 23th, a very good day, I'm looking forward to it!" His eyes were deep and unfathomable!

Others don't know.
But Du Yongxiao knew it.

October 10th in the previous life was the day when South Korean President Park Chung-hee was assassinated. It was also from this day that Jeon Doo-gwang led the members of the Issim Society to launch the "Seoul Spring" military coup, thus rewriting history in one fell swoop and becoming the new generation of king of South Korea!
Du Yongxiao had previously given Quan Douguan a black card that could overdraft 2 billion US dollars.

If Quan Douguan needs anything, he can withdraw it directly from Chase Bank.

Of course, the price of these 2 billion US dollars is not cheap, which is to hand over the equity of the top ten groups in the Republic of Korea to Du Yongxiao!
The top ten conglomerates represent the economic lifeline of the Republic of Korea. As long as Quan Doo-gwang realizes his ambition, Du Yongxiao can directly control the future economic lifeline of South Korea and replace those Americans to become the true "emperor" of the Republic of Korea!
……

At the instruction of the government, the South Korean media reported extensively on the Samsung Group's chaebol meeting.

Whether it is the three traditional TV stations, KBS, SBS, and MCS, or various newspapers and magazines in South Korea, they all actively reported on this conference.

"It is reported that Samsung Group will hold a corporate conference soon. All the giants in the Republic of Korea will attend. It will be a historic gathering!" "Samsung, the economic barometer of South Korea, will hold a conference and announce the establishment of a group alliance during this period. I hope it can help the development of South Korea's economy!"

As the media reported on the event extensively, the whole of South Korea was filled with jubilation. Everyone felt as if it were a holiday. They felt that the South Korean economy was saved and that many giants were about to rise.

People on the streets were talking about this event.
"Hey, Samsung Group has finally made a name for itself this time. Even the Blue House is endorsing them!"

"Yes, if the group alliance is established, then Korean companies will be impregnable in the future, and it will be difficult for foreign capital to invade!"

"The most important thing is the Chinese capital, especially the Du Group, which made a lot of noise before, saying that it wanted to acquire Samsung and Hyundai. Haha, now it seems like a joke!"

"I heard about it too! The Du Group has become a huge joke this time!"

Koreans are very xenophobic. To them, they can be controlled by Americans but not by Chinese.

Although they have been vassal states of China for hundreds of years, they would rather become Americans' godsons than return to the arms of their Chinese father.

They unanimously reject large companies with Chinese roots like the Du Group.

Time flies by quickly——
Three days passed quickly.

On that day, the Samsung Hotel, which served as the main venue for the group conference, was flying colorful flags and beating drums and gongs, making it even more lively than a festival.

Korean media had already heard the news and were blocking the hotel entrance to interview those corporate giants.

In the past, these giants would avoid these media as much as possible, thinking that it was a waste of time.

But today, the red carpet at the entrance has completely become a catwalk.

Samsung boss Lee Byung-chul, Hyundai boss Chung Ju-yung, Lotte boss Shin Kyuk-ho and so on.

All of them expressed their opinions to the media when they entered the hotel.

"The reason why our Samsung Group proposed the group alliance is very simple, which is to integrate resources and use the rich connections, funds and other resources of major groups to help the development of the Korean economy."

"We at Hyundai support the group alliance proposed by Samsung Group. After all, the Republic of Korea needs more conscientious companies to stick to our national business position and not be held hostage by foreign capital!"

"We at Lotte also support this! You know, our business tenet has always been to be based on the nation and to be united in our external relations!"

In addition, big names such as Hanjin Group, LG Group, SK Group, Asiana Group, etc., who arrived a little late, also delivered speeches on the red carpet.

Everyone is not a fool. Since President Park of the Blue House has expressed his support for Samsung, then they should just go with the flow and be good people. The establishment of a group alliance is actually beneficial to them. They can share resources and intelligence, and they can also have good relations with the Blue House. Why not do it?
As for the position of leader, this time Samsung boss Lee Byung-chul will do it, but next time, maybe it will be my turn.

As the saying goes, the throne takes turns, and next year it will be my turn.

If you think about it, you will know that the Blue House will never allow the Samsung Group to continue to occupy the throne of leader. This is a threat to the Blue House.

If the Blue House wants to maintain checks and balances, it must let the bigwigs of the major chaebols take turns to be the boss.

As the "villain" invited to the group meeting this time, Du Yongxiao arrived late accompanied by Jiang Ling'er, Yan Xiong, Zhuang Dingxian and others.

As soon as the black, low-key and luxurious BMW sedan stopped, media reporters swarmed in.

Du Yongxiao, dressed in white, got out of the car.

The weather was a bit cold. He was wearing a black windbreaker and had his hair combed back. He looked like a movie star, extremely handsome.

Du Yongxiao appeared in front of the media holding hands with Jiang Ling'er.

Jiang Ling'er was dressed extremely beautifully, in a dress and a snow-white mink coat, and she was radiant.

"Mr. Du, I'm a reporter from SBS TV. How do you feel about attending this conference?" A male reporter squeezed to the front and raised the microphone to interview Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao smiled faintly at the camera: "To be precise, I am looking forward to it! After all, this grand alliance is unprecedented. As far as I know, if so many large Korean companies unite, they can form a huge resource system, whether in terms of funds, intelligence, or connections. A huge corporate system can be formed. Yes, I can foresee that if this system is successful, a large economic community in the form of a giant will emerge in Korea, which will play a huge role in promoting the future economy of Korea!"

Facing the camera, Du Yongxiao talked freely, not caring at all about the rejecting and mocking looks from the reporters.

Even as Du Yongxiao delivered his speech, some female audiences and female reporters gradually realized that Du Yongxiao was so emotional and rational. Coupled with Du Yongxiao's wealth that rivaled a country and his appearance that was as handsome as Pan An, a feeling of excitement welled up in their hearts, and they became obsessed with Du Yongxiao.

This is Du Yongxiao's personal charm.

Beyond the realm, irresistible.

Many reporters deliberately set traps for Du Yongxiao, but Du Yongxiao cleverly avoided them during the interviews. He even set traps for those reporters in return and almost buried them alive.

Du Yongxiao's move once again made everyone present feel his wise charm.

Not only did the female reporters and female audiences have stars in their eyes, but even the male reporters and male audiences began to admire Du Yongxiao.

Worship the strong!
Inertia remains unchanged in any era, any time, and any place.

When Du Yongxiao finished his speech,
There was no sighing or pessimism as many Koreans had hoped for, but instead there was thunderous applause and cheers.

This reaction stunned the Korean bosses who had entered the venue earlier.

This is not the result they want.

The result of Du Yongxiao's speech made them very frustrated.

"This Du guy should not be underestimated!"

"Yeah, Shiba! He's not here to be a target, he obviously thinks he's a big star!"

Hyundai boss Chung Ju-yung and Lotte boss Shin Kyuk-ho were indignant.

Samsung boss Lee Byung-chul put down the cocktail in his hand and said calmly: "Don't be impatient, the fun has just begun!"
