Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1108 1094 [Broken Favors]

Jeon Doo-gwang launched the astonishing "Double Twelve Coup", shocking the entire Republic of Korea.

Both the upper class and the common people were stunned by this sudden coup.

The respected Commander Park had just been assassinated when a coup d'etat led by Jeon Doo-gwang took place. The problem is that the coup was successful.

The interim government that originally brought democracy and freedom to everyone declared its collapse at this moment, and the short-lived "Seoul Spring" ended, only two months later.

In particular, this coup has had a huge impact on South Korea's current economy. Whether it is Samsung, LG, or other large conglomerates, their stocks have plummeted.

Samsung Electronics, which was already in trouble, is struggling even more.

Previously, the Blue House promised to help Samsung Electronics borrow 30 billion won from the three major banks to support Samsung Electronics' development in the semiconductor business. Now, everything has become a mirage.

If this is not tragic enough, then the subsequent actions of Soros, the financial tycoon of Wall Street in the United States, directly forced Samsung, LG and other large conglomerates into a dead end.

Soros actually openly shorted the South Korean economy, especially targeting large conglomerates such as Samsung and LG, and called on the public to sell their stocks.

The Korean people are patriotic, but they cannot watch the money they invested in the stock market go to waste.

As a result, the share prices of major conglomerates such as Samsung, LG, Hanjin, and Lotte plummeted.

That’s not all. Soros also targeted the foreign investments of these Korean conglomerates and called on some financial snipers to short sell. As a result, large companies such as Samsung, LG, Hanjin, and Lotte were suffering both internally and externally, and would go bankrupt and liquidate if they were not careful.

Describe in one sentence.

The situation is dire.
The thin line between life and death.

The weather in Seoul has been extremely bad these days.

There was continuous heavy snowfall for three days.

For the sake of Samsung Group and Samsung Electronics, Lee Byung-chul, the emperor of Samsung, had to swallow his pride and asked his third son Lee Gun-hee to invite Du Yong-hyo out to discuss how to help Samsung out of its difficulties.

At this moment, Seoul Bridge——
Although Yan Xiong had his men holding umbrellas to block the heavy snow, he leaned forward to see and hear clearly what Du Yongxiao and Li Jianxi were discussing tonight. Half of his shoulders were covered with snow, and snowflakes occasionally drifted into his neck. However, he still didn't feel cold. He looked at the two people who were looking at each other. He couldn't figure out whether the heads of these people in Samsung Group were kicked by a donkey? How dare they bargain with their godfather Du Yongxiao at this time? If it were anyone else, they would have knelt in the snow and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

For Yan Xiong, at this moment he was full of admiration for his godfather Du Yongxiao.

From the very beginning, when Du Yongxiao told him the strategy of acquiring the top ten chaebols in South Korea, Yan Xiong was a little bit unconvinced. To be precise, he agreed with him on the surface, but in his heart he did not think that Du Yongxiao could do it.

But now, Du Yongxiao not only predicted that there would be a coup in South Korea, but also used this coup to let Soros directly short the South Korean economy.

This move killed people without leaving any blood, and directly brought down the big chaebols in South Korea from the clouds to the dust.

In this regard, Yan Xiong admired Du Yongxiao on the one hand, but was terrified on the other.

If you think about it carefully, Yan Xiong once opposed Du Yongxiao and regarded Du Yongxiao as his lifelong rival. He believed that Du Yongxiao was cunning and ruthless and was a rare opponent. Now think about it, how ridiculous that was.

If Du Yongxiao at that time was as capable as he is now, then wouldn't he have been plotting against me all along?

Fortunately, Yan Xiong was weak-kneed and a man of insight became a hero. After failing several times, he accepted his fate and worshipped Du Yongxiao as his "godfather", thus starting a new life after he was 45 years old. He went from a Chinese detective to a prisoner, then from a prisoner to a director of the Du Group, and from a director to a world-class entertainment tycoon...

Even Yan Xiong often asked himself in his dreams, where did his life really begin and what is the end point?
Yan Xiong took a cigarette out of the cigarette box, lit it and put it in his mouth, looking at the many men in black dozens of steps away.

These people are the bodyguards brought by Li Jianxi, making it look like a gang gathering.

Yan Xiong shook his head, thinking that these Koreans were too narrow-minded. To be more precise, they had never seen the world. They brought so many people here and dressed like this. Are they afraid that Mr. Du will eat them?
But after thinking about it carefully, Yan Xiong immediately understood Li Jianxi's situation.

Du Yongxiao is really terrible.

The plan is perfect!

Comparable to ghosts and gods!

Facing such an opponent, if he were Li Jianxi, he would probably have to bring more people to calm down the opponent.

The reason is very simple. Li Jianxi is full of fear of Du Yongxiao.

Looking at those men in black, they usually show off their power one by one. After all, it is an honor to be able to serve as the vanguard of the Samsung Prince.

But at this moment, they all looked weak and some even disregarded the rules. When they stopped to guard in the snow, they took out cigarettes and started smoking like Yan Xiong.

Yan Xiong shook his head again. From the spirit of these people, one could tell how difficult the current predicament of their master, Samsung Group, was.

Maybe they haven't paid salaries for several months.

Yan Xiong was very confident that with a disorganized team like this, even if Li Jianxi turned hostile and took action, he and Zhuang Dingxian could handle this group of guys.

Seoul Bridge Roadside——
Du Yongxiao looked calmly at Li Jianxi who was smiling and inviting him. He paused for a moment before speaking: "Now, what is your and your father's decision? If the answer satisfies me, I will also give you a satisfactory answer.

"Let's talk about this in the car. After all, you and I are friends, and I'm not used to negotiating with you like this." Li Jianxi continued to speak to Du Yongxiao with a smile, but his eyes and forehead were filled with sorrow.

Du Yongxiao lowered his head, took out a cigarette, lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke, then slightly raised his head to look at the snow and the night sky above him, and finally looked at Li Jianxi: "President Li, I know you are a smart person, you will understand what I mean, why bother to act like friends? If we can't reach an agreement, are we friends or enemies?

Li Jianxi's smiling face changed slightly. He looked at Du Yongxiao stupidly, unable to believe that these words came out of his mouth.

After all, it was he who took the initiative to invite Du Yongxiao to Korea to investigate business. At that time, the two of them were brothers and could not be better. Now he suddenly changed his attitude, which was a little difficult for him to accept.

After being stunned for a long time, Li Jianxi took out the folded towel inserted in the left pocket of his suit, wiped his cheeks and mouth corners, and said: "Ah Xiao, you are not really like this, are you? We used to be very good. I remember that when we first met in Thailand, we hit it off right away. You also praised my daughter Li Fuzhen for being lively and cute, and even wanted to adopt her as your goddaughter. I almost agreed at that time."

"Of course, we did have some unpleasant experiences afterwards, but that was just a misunderstanding. Didn't we make peace afterwards? Tonight, I just want you to still treat me as a friend, and we can still talk about anything like before! How about getting in the car? It's very windy here..."

Given Lee Jianxi's status as the crown prince of Samsung, he would never have said such "grovelling" words in the past. He always acted high and mighty in public, and even more unattainable in front of the Korean people.

Yan Xiong thought that Du Yongxiao looked cold on the surface, but he was actually a very emotional person. He should have taken a step back and chosen to get in the car with Li Jianxi to discuss the matter. Unexpectedly, Du Yongxiao smiled and said to Li Jianxi firmly, "Are you afraid of the strong snowstorm or are you afraid that others will see you begging for mercy from me? No, is it you Samsung that is begging for mercy from me?"

Yan Xiong was holding a black umbrella to shield Du Yongxiao from the wind and snow. Hearing Du Yongxiao's last two sarcastic words, he couldn't help but say, "President Li, let me say one more thing. A real man can bend and stretch! My godfather is actually a very good person. All he needs is for Samsung to be sincere enough..." "Am I not sincere enough now?"

Before Yan Xiong could finish, Li Jianxi said angrily.

Yan Xiong shook his head and stopped talking.

Deep down, he originally wanted to help Li Jianxi. In order to win him over, the prince often entertained him with delicious food and drinks, and even sent many hard-to-get Korean female celebrities to Yan Xiong in person.

Li Jianxi stared at Du Yongxiao and took a deep breath. "Let's get straight to the point. What do you want? Samsung Electronics? Sure. We will transfer 50% of the shares to you and make you the actual owner! Are you satisfied now?"

Du Yongxiao put away his smile, paused for a few seconds, and then resumed his usual calm tone when talking to Li Jianxi: "Since you said so, then I will put forward my conditions - I don't want the management rights of Samsung Electronics, but the entire Samsung Group!"

Li Jianxi's pupils shrank sharply, his expression was shocked, and he stared at Du Yongxiao's eyes in disbelief: "Did I hear wrong?! You don't want Samsung Electronics, but the entire Samsung Group?!"

The snow is flying heavily.

The atmosphere at the scene froze.

Not only Li Jianxi himself, but also the people he brought with him focused their attention on Du Yongxiao's face, with shock in their eyes.

What is Samsung Group?
The largest conglomerate in the entire Republic of Korea!
Samsung boss Lee Byung-chul is even known as the Emperor of Samsung!
The entire Samsung Group is so huge that it is unimaginable. Many Korean people are proud to work for the Samsung Group throughout their lives.

But Du Yongxiao actually wants to take over such a big group?
Li Jianxi and others looked at Du Yongxiao nervously, expecting him to give a negative answer.

As long as Du Yongxiao changes his words, everything can be turned around.

Time almost froze at this moment, and everyone stared at Du Yongxiao.

At this time, a strong wind blew.

He rolled up the snow on the ground and rushed towards Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao seemed invisible in the wind and snow, and only his figure could be vaguely seen.

He stood still.

Let the wind and snow blow away, then look at him nodding his head slightly, exhaling and saying his answer: "Yes."

Li Jianxi's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and a huge feeling of powerlessness came over him, enveloping him.

He began to doubt whether it was right or wrong to invite Du Yongxiao over tonight?
Can he complete the task given to him by his father Lee Byung-chul?

He even suspected that Du Yongxiao was a lunatic, otherwise how could he propose such a shocking condition?
Li Jianxi first looked at Du Yongxiao blankly, then walked step by step to Du Yongxiao. The secretary wanted to follow behind with an umbrella, but Li Jianxi raised his hand and knocked the umbrella away. Li Jianxi then stood opposite Du Yongxiao in the heavy snow, staring into Du Yongxiao's eyes. Du Yongxiao looked back at him firmly.

Li Jianxi grabbed the folded towel he had used to wipe his cheeks and mouth, rolled it up into a ball, and threw it to the ground. He then turned and walked towards the car, shouting as he walked: "From now on, you and I are no longer friends! Du Yongxiao, I am done with you!"

Du Yongxiao said nothing and turned to Yan Xiong who was holding an umbrella for him: "Tell Soros to step up the shorting of Samsung! Since he is not a friend, I don't have to show mercy! If I can't get what I want, then I will destroy it!"

"Yes, godfather!" Yan Xiong said hurriedly, "Then I'll take you back first!"

"No need!" Du Yongxiao said. "Someone will come to pick me up."

"Huh?" Before Yan Xiong could figure out what was going on, he saw a black Rolls-Royce sedan appear in the distance.

Yan Xiong shrank his neck, wiped away the snowflakes that fell on his neck with his hand, and then pointed towards the new car.

Zhuang Dingxian, who accompanied him and was responsible for protecting Du Yongxiao, immediately turned around and focused his attention on the car.

Du Yongxiao said: "Don't be nervous, we are friends."

"Friend?" Yan Xiong was stunned for some reason. He just lost a friend, and now another one comes? Godfather has so many friends.

"You guys go first, I'll take my friend's car back."

As he spoke, Du Yongxiao left the bridge railing and walked towards the Rolls-Royce in the distance.

He walked slowly but steadily. The snow and wind seemed to have no effect on him at all. It was like strolling in a garden. Everything was under his control.

Before he reached the car, it stopped and a man came out to open the door for him.

Du Yongxiao glanced at the "friend" in the car, smiled slightly, and sat in.

……

inside the carriage.

Li Jianxi rubbed his cheeks vigorously with his hands until his cold and numb cheeks began to feel hot. The male secretary came in and said to Li Jianxi, "Mr. President, don't get angry. This kind of person is greedy and has no sense of friendship. Even if we don't ask him for help, we can definitely get through this difficult time at Samsung."

"Can we really get through it? You know how big the storm is this time. Do you think it's fun to say such words to comfort me?" Li Jianxi looked up with a dull look in his eyes and an expressionless face.

"Ahem, I just--" The male secretary was stunned, not knowing what to say.

After all, what Li Jianxi said is true. Samsung is now really at a critical juncture of survival.

If there is another fire outside, it is very likely that this huge empire will collapse.

Just when he was embarrassed, Li Jianxi spoke again: "Why, did I say something wrong?"

"No... no." The male secretary smiled and apologized quickly, "I was too talkative."

Li Jianxi snorted coldly, "You think too simply that you want us, Samsung, to surrender, Du Yongxiao! I wonder which consortium will obey you--" After that, he ordered, "Drive."

The car sped away, and the rolled up snow flew all over the sky, turning into a silver dragon that sailed away.
