Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1109 [Pledge of Allegiance to the Chaebol]

In the car -
Chairman of LG Group, South Korea
Gu Benmao handed Du Yongxiao a cigarette, lit one for himself, looked at the snow outside and said, "Guess, if Li Jianxi knew that I would come to see you, how would he feel?"

"What? You have to ask him. I gave him the chance, but he didn't seize it."

"Ah, it seems that Samsung still hasn't figured out what it means to be a wise man when facing the times, and they still think they can get away with this."

"To be honest, I really consider Li Jianxi a friend, otherwise I wouldn't have made an appointment to meet him this time. Unfortunately, his father, Li Bingzhe, thinks highly of himself and thinks that I will obey him if he uses a little emotional trick. Unfortunately, he doesn't know what it means that the situation is stronger than the person!"

The Rolls-Royce was speeding on the highway on a snowy night, and there was a danger of the car overturning and killing people at any time even when turning. Gu Benmao held the steering wheel with both hands and stepped on the accelerator, but he did not look at the road ahead. Instead, he turned his head from time to time to look at Du Yongxiao sitting in the passenger seat. Du Yongxiao took out a cigarette and made way for Gu Benmao. Gu Benmao freed one hand and took a cigarette out of the cigarette box. Du Yongxiao slowly lit the lighter and helped him light it.

"So what now? Has our LG dodged a disaster?"

A puff of smoke came out of Gu Benmao's mouth, and these words came out as well.

Du Yongxiao leaned his head against the back of the chair and smiled: "What do you think? From the first time I saw you, I knew you were a smart person. Smart people would not ask such stupid questions."

"What would you do if our LG doesn't submit to you either?"

Gu Benmao also laughed and asked casually.

"What to do? I can guarantee that your LG will go bankrupt completely, and even you, Gu Bonmoo, won't be able to see the sun tomorrow! Of course, it's normal that you can't see the sun on such a snowy day."

Du Yongxiao raised the back of his head, turned his head to look at Gu Benmoo, and said seriously.

Gu Benmao laughed out loud, his laughter was hearty, and Du Yongxiao also laughed.

After a long while, the two stopped laughing, and Gu Benmao said, "I believe you have that kind of ability. Yes, from the first day I met you, I knew that you were a ruthless person and would not give up the fat meat at your fingertips easily."

"You are very good at judging people. For me, anything I set my sights on, I must get. If I can't get it, I will destroy it! If you think I am bragging, it's very simple, just wait and see."

Du Yongxiao flicked the ash directly at his feet and said.

Seeing Du Yongxiao casually flicking off his cigarette ash, Gu Benmao frowned slightly and said, "Besides Samsung Group, what about other conglomerates? Are you going to--"

Du Yongxiao stopped and looked at Gu Bonmoo: "What do you think? What will happen to Hanjin, Lotte, and SK?"

"Are you going to bankrupt them, too?"

Gu Benmao chuckled twice and said, "If you really have this ability, I can only admire you with all my heart."

"You will know soon whether it is true or not." Du Yongxiao nodded lightly.

"Hey, actually, I'm still doubting why I surrendered to you. I still had room to resist."

Gu Benmao glanced at Du Yongxiao, then continued driving while looking straight ahead.

Du Yongxiao smiled: "You know, animals have the ability to protect themselves. So do humans. Maybe you just activated your self-protection system, so you surrender to me."

"Maybe. I hope my choice is the right one. Otherwise, I will become an eternal sinner and be despised by everyone."

Gu Benmao puffed out half a cigarette, which fell accurately into the built-in ashtray of the car. He then said to Du Yongxiao with a wry smile.

"Submission is just a strategy. You have chosen the best strategy for LG. Just wait and see. Not only will you not become a sinner for eternity, but on the contrary, those who sneer and mock you will soon regret it."

"I hope so."

"You won't regret it. Your choice is the greatest contribution you can make to LG!"

Du Yongxiao blew out a smoke ring and said, "Even ten years later, the Korean economy will rewrite a chapter for you and leave a mark in history forever."

Gu Bonmoo put away his bitter face and said, "If that's the case, I'll thank God and even thank you."

"No need to thank me. You deserve it all. Business is always like this, there are wins and losses, just like gambling, winning or losing is a matter of seconds."

"Really?" Gu Benmao glanced at Du Yongxiao while driving.

"So what should I do now? Do I need to hold your thighs tightly and show my loyalty to you?"

"Do you need it? You are able to drive me now, which actually leaves other chaebols far behind. Believe me, you are good enough to drive me here. I, Du Yongxiao, am not the kind of person who will let anyone be my driver or ride in anyone's car!"

"I doubt---"

"You don't have to doubt--"

Before Gu Benmao understood what Du Yongxiao said, three luxury cars chased after them.

Gu Benmao stepped on the brakes and the car slid forward for several meters before it finally stopped.

The three luxury cars also stopped immediately, and the doors opened, revealing a few foreigners.

They saluted towards Gu Bonmoo's car with a respectful attitude.

Gu Benmao knew that the other party was not greeting him, so he looked at Du Yongxiao.

The snow is flying heavily.

The wind was biting.

"It's too late. Thank you for giving me a ride. We'll talk next time."

Du Yongxiao smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Gu Benmoo and say goodbye.

Gu Benmao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look out the car window next to him again!

The door of a luxury car opened.

A man walked out from inside, it was George Soros, the financial tycoon from Wall Street in the United States.

This devil who is feared by all the tycoons in the world is now standing respectfully beside the car, saluting Du Yongxiao.

Gu Benmao was horrified. Only then did he understand what Du Yongxiao meant by reliance.

Gu Benmao took a deep breath, retracted his gaze to look at Du Yongxiao, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Du Yongxiao: "Thank you for giving me a chance."

Du Yongxiao said calmly: "You deserve it."

Du Yongxiao got out of the car, Gu Benmao started the car and continued to drive forward without stopping, while Du Yongxiao walked towards Soros.

Soros, who was waiting, saw Du Yongxiao coming. The powerful man bowed to Du Yongxiao and said, "Mr. Du, everything is ready. I will let you see the whole of South Korea become a river of blood."

Du Yongxiao waved and greeted Soros naturally: "Thank you for coming here in such a heavy snow.

Soros's face was full of respect. This financial tycoon who was the most respected in the world, was now worshipping and fearing Du Yongxiao to the extreme.

Soros got involved from the very beginning when Du Yongxiao planned to develop South Korea. At first, he thought Du Yongxiao was joking. Taking over the top ten chaebols in South Korea was such an unattainable thing.

But the facts completely overturned Soros's imagination.

The situation was actually developing exactly as Du Yongxiao had planned.

Park Chung-hee was assassinated.
Quan Douguang coup,
Until now, the whole of South Korea has fallen into chaos——
Soros couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Du Yongxiao is actually more powerful than ghosts and gods, and he has planned everything!
If Soros had only simple respect for Du Yongxiao before, it was because Du Yongxiao was so wealthy that he was rich enough to rival a country.

but now--
Soros has fully realized the horror of Du Yongxiao!
The kind of terrifying power that can destroy a country in the blink of an eye.

"It is my honor to personally drive you back, Mr. Du."

As he spoke, Soros took two steps forward, opened his umbrella, and placed it over Du Yongxiao's head.

The snow is flying heavily.

This hero was like a follower, like a servant standing beside Du Yongxiao and holding an umbrella for him.

Du Yongxiao did not refuse and followed Soros towards the luxury car in the distance.

Follow Soros into the car and return to the Seoul Hotel, the presidential suite.

At this time, someone was already waiting for him in the living room.

……

Du Yongxiao was slightly surprised when he saw the person coming.

Because he really doesn't like the other person's character.

The other person was thin and wore glasses. When he saw Du Yongxiao coming back, he bowed and saluted hurriedly, "Hello, Mr. Du!"

Du Yongxiao glanced at Jiang Ling'er who was standing next to him.

Jiang Ling'er shook her head slightly at him, meaning that the person had been waiting since he arrived and was unwilling to leave.

Du Yongxiao looked at the person who came again.

Shin Kyuk-ho, chairman of Lotte Group, the largest department store in South Korea, bowed respectfully, even a little humbly, to Du Yongxiao, not daring to straighten his back, waiting for Du Yongxiao's reply.

Du Yongxiao pointed at the sofa and said, "Sit down!"

Du Yongxiao really has no good impression of this Korean chaebol who was involved in many scandals in his previous life.

But it was this guy who happened to have such a strong sense of sensitivity that he came over late at night to pay his "letter of allegiance".

"Mr. Du, these are 50% of the shares of our Lotte Group. If you are willing, please sign according to the provisions of the contract. We at Lotte are willing to submit to you."

South Korea's leading department store tycoon was looking at Du Yongxiao humbly, his eyes full of pleading, as if Du Yongxiao was his last straw.

Jiang Ling'er brought the coffee.

Du Yongxiao gestured to her to go and rest first.

Jiang Ling'er shook her head, meaning that it was okay.

She waited beside Du Yongxiao, waiting for his instructions.

Seeing this, Du Yongxiao showed a helpless smile on his face, and looked at Xin Gehao again and said, "Are you really willing to transfer your shares and let our Du Group control Lotte?"

Shin Kyuk-ho glanced at Du Yong-hyo and forced a smile: "Of course. To me, Mr. Du, you are the savior. Yes, South Korea's economic situation is bad and the political situation is tense. If we want to break out of the current situation, we can only rely on external forces."

Du Yongxiao clapped his hands gently, "The older you are, the wiser you are. As expected of someone who has built such a fortune, you are indeed very smart. But if you do this, will people criticize you for betraying your country? Even more, after tonight, most Korean businessmen will hate you to the core?"

"You can't say that. What does it mean to sell out your country? Is South Korea an independent country? No! It is not! Politically and militarily, it relies on the support of the Americans. Whether it is the economic lifeline or other matters, it is all decided by the Americans. To be precise, South Korea is a colony. It has no meaning of being a country at all!"

Shin Kyuk-ho looked at Du Yong-hyo again, his old eyes sparkling, and he said with a smile: "So I didn't sell out my country at all, because I have no country to sell! As for those who insult me, ridicule me, and look down on me, just wait to jump off the building! Who knows how big the next storm will be? Mr. Du, you can destroy the entire Korean economy with just a flick of your finger!"

Du Yongxiao took a sip of coffee, looked up at Xin Gehao, and smiled: "To be honest, I don't like you! I didn't like you from the beginning."

"Yes, I can feel it, that's why I came here so actively and surrendered to you, because I was afraid that you would not even give me a chance and would just kill me directly." Xin Gehao said respectfully.

Du Yongxiao couldn't help but take a second look at this chaebol. No wonder he was able to stand firm. With such a sense of smell and such shamelessness, even if he wanted to destroy him, he had to consider his face.

"Life is like a game of chess. I didn't expect you to be able to escape from this deadly situation. One for you and one for LG!"

"Uh, LG?" Shin Kyuk-ho was stunned, as if he had not expected that there would be someone who would become a lackey even quicker than himself.

"Yes, LG, like you, has also submitted his pledge of allegiance!" Du Yongxiao looked at Xin Gehao and said seriously, "So my plan has to change, and the dead pieces in this game have to change too."

Xin Gehao hurriedly asked sincerely: "Then can I revive this dead child of mine?"

The smile on Du Yongxiao's face gradually faded: "What do you think?"

"Please show some mercy, Mr. Du! I swear that I will obey you from now on and will never go against you."

Du Yongxiao glanced at the equity transfer agreement presented by Xin Gehao with contempt, "Are you begging me?"

"Yes!" Shin Geuk-ho almost knelt down and said sincerely, "I know Mr. Du has something against me, so I can only show my sincerity to impress you! Yes, I will cooperate with whatever you want me to do!"

Seeing Shin Geuk-ho's frightened look, Du Yongxiao could only sigh. How much he wanted the other party to be tougher so that he could kill him naturally. But the other party was lying on the ground begging for mercy like a dog. What should Du Yongxiao do?
"Okay, I accept your surrender!" Du Yongxiao said, "Starting tomorrow, the Korean Lotte Group will be affiliated to the Du Group!"

"Yes, thank you Mr. Du for your kindness!" Shin Geuk-ho was ecstatic.

He knew clearly that if he didn't come tonight, the Lotte Group would collapse starting from tomorrow, and he, as the chairman, would most likely have to go to the rooftop and jump off the building because of bankruptcy!
Alive!

Very thrilling!
When Shin Kyuk-ho walked out of the room contentedly, Du Yong-hyo looked at Shin Kyuk-ho's back and sneered to himself, "LG and Lotte have surrendered, and now it's up to the other conglomerates. Do they kneel down and beg for mercy, or line up to jump off the building?"

As he spoke, he picked up the coffee cup and rubbed it gently: "After this night, I don't know what South Korea will become. Am I going too far? After all, many people will be buried with these chaebols?"

Jiang Ling'er took a step forward, squatted down, stared at Du Yongxiao and said softly: "Don't blame yourself. You have already given them a chance, haven't you?"

Du Yongxiao looked at Jiang Ling'er: "But all this is still unfair, because I only gave those chaebols a chance, but not the common people--"

look,

sad!
