Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1112 1098 [Life and Death Are Unpredictable]

In the previous life, Seoul’s bid to host the Olympic Games was an important step in the South Korean government’s “peaceful reunification foreign policy”.

In fact, in order to improve its international image and international status, South Korea began to formulate this policy in 1973 and advocated "open door". One of the measures was to actively carry out sports and cultural diplomacy and strive to host the 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Olympic Games.

Therefore, the South Korean government gave strong support to this Olympic Games.

Seoul established a preparatory committee on November 1981, 11, which brought together outstanding talents from all relevant departments across the country, including industry and commerce, enterprises, architecture, culture and education, art, and communication, and actively carried out various preparatory work.

At that time, despite the pressure of high external debt, the South Korean government allocated US$9 million to support the preparations for the Olympic Games, 55% of which was used for hardware construction such as competition venues, Olympic Village, Press Village and News Center, and 45% was used for software construction such as beautifying the city, building the Olympic Park, improving medical services, enhancing the quality of reception, and carrying out good publicity and reporting.

In addition, including some indirect investments, the total investment in the Seoul Olympics is about US$30 billion.

The South Korean president who led this international event was none other than Chun Doo-kwang, who is known as the "successor to dictatorship."

The reason why Jeon Doo-kwang insisted on bidding for the Olympic Games in that era was, on the one hand, to demonstrate South Korea's "great power style", and on the other hand, mainly to ease the severe political situation in the country.

As we all know, Chun Doo-kwang came to power through a coup, and after taking power in South Korea, he adopted a high-pressure ruling strategy.

It can be said that in that era, the Korean people were full of complaints. In order to restore the image and stabilize the situation, Jeon Doo-kwang urgently needed to hold a grand event to demonstrate his governing ability, and bidding for the Olympic Games became the top priority.

As it turned out, the successful hosting of the Seoul Olympics did earn some good reputation for Chun Doo-kwang and his successor Roh Tae-woo.

The arrogance of the Korean people was released after the successful hosting of the Olympic Games, and those stubborn elements who had been resentful of the government also took a break and no longer resisted as fiercely as before.

As a person who has been through this, Du Yongxiao certainly knew all this, which is why he instructed Yan Xiong to propose "hosting the Olympic Games" to Quan Douguang and others in person, and promised to help them build the venues for the Olympic Games.

Quan Douguan's eyes flickered and moved from Yan Xiong to Du Yongxiao. He knew that Du Yongxiao was the one who decided all this and Yan Xiong was just helping in acting.

"Mr. Du, do you know how difficult it is to successfully apply for the Olympics?"

"Of course I know. But believe me, you will definitely succeed this time." Du Yongxiao said with a smile.

"Are you so sure?" Quan Douguan was surprised and stared at Du Yongxiao.

"Yes, it will work! With the help of my connections and money, it will work." Du Yongxiao said with certainty.

In the previous life, people like Quan Douguang relied on bribing the Olympic Committee with US dollars to obtain the right to bid, and Du Yongxiao knew it very well.

Quan Douguan's idea was moved.

He glanced at Lu Taiyu and others.

Everyone looked at him too.

Quan Douguang looked at Du Yongxiao again: "Then do you know how many venues we will have to build after the successful bid?"

"Probably thirty-four or thirty-five." Du Yongxiao picked up his coffee and said casually, "If we add the various auxiliary training grounds, there may be more." Du Yongxiao then explained the construction content in more detail.

In fact, Seoul has built a total of 34 competition venues and various auxiliary training grounds to host this Olympic Games.

The Olympic Park covers an area of ​​56500 square meters. In addition to the main venue, the park also has 6 venues for cycling, weightlifting, fencing, gymnastics, swimming and tennis. It has also achieved the goal of greening the park and developed functions for public leisure and entertainment.

All venues adopt modern and standardized designs and meet multi-functional requirements. Many venues can provide relevant competition and training conditions at any time. The swimming pools can use heated water in winter and are not affected by the climate with air conditioning.

The Olympic Village and the Press Village are both apartment-style buildings that can be sold after the Games.

In addition, a transportation system directly connected to the city center was built, making it a new district with convenient transportation and elegant environment.

At this moment, Du Yongxiao simply picked out some of the things he knew in his previous life and told them to Quan Douguan and the others.

Quan Douguan and others were stunned and looked at Du Yongxiao as if he were a god. They never expected that Du Yongxiao was so well prepared that he even thought about how South Korea would host the Olympics and how big the venue would be.

Yan Xiong was also stunned when he heard this.

He had only come up with the concept of hosting the Olympic Games as instructed by Du Yongxiao, but he did not expect Du Yongxiao's analysis of the concept to be so comprehensive that he could directly record it down and use it as a template.

When Du Yongxiao finished saying everything he wanted to say, Quan Douguan and others were still immersed in surprise.

Helplessly, Du Yongxiao had to drink a few sips of coffee and wait for them to come to their senses.

A moment——
Quan Douguang and the others finally came to their senses, looked at each other, and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

At this moment, they all felt that the longer they spent in contact with Du Yongxiao, the more magical he would be discovered, as if the person in front of them was not a human, but a god.

Thinking of this, Quan Douguan, who originally wanted to show off in front of Du Yongxiao, shuddered suddenly and became a little more afraid of Du Yongxiao.

The same was true for Lu Taiyu and others. They looked at Du Yongxiao in a much more respectful manner.

"But Mr. Du, how are you going to make a profit by contracting so many fitness venues?" Quan Douguan asked cautiously.

"General Quan, you don't have to worry about this. Of course, if you want to know, I can tell you. First, I have the right to use the stadiums I built for 50 years. During this period, I can rent them out and the rental fees belong to me. Second, I can sell some athletes' apartments and journalists' apartments, and I set the selling price. Third, I will coordinate the advertising space in all stadiums, and the advertising fee income belongs to me. In addition to this, there are some other income and expenses, I will not go into details. If you are interested, you can discuss it slowly during the discussion."

"No, fifty years is too long!"

"Yes, it's a shame to last this long!"

Quan Douguan, Lu Taiyu and others shook their heads.

Du Yongxiao had long expected that they would react here.

Fifty years is indeed a long time. The reason why Du Yongxiao said so much was to allow them to raise objections and thus cover up other inequalities in the contract.

This is the importance of choice in psychology.

"Is fifty years too long? Do you have any good suggestions?" Du Yongxiao asked with a smile.

"We can only take... ten years at most!"

"Yeah, ten years is pretty good."

"Haha, ten years?" Du Yongxiao smiled. "Whether I can make back my investment in ten years is still a question." He tapped the coffee table with his hand and said, "I have already said that we need to build more than 30 stadiums, supporting training grounds, as well as apartments for reporters and athletes, etc. All these constructions will cost more than 3 billion US dollars in total. If there is any mistake, the budget may even increase to 40 to 50 billion. Let me ask you, can I make back my investment in ten years?"

"This--" Lu Taiyu and others were speechless.

Quan Douguang waved his hand and said, "We are soldiers, not businessmen. How can we calculate these things? In short, fifty years is impossible!"

"Yeah, fifty years? We'll probably all be in coffins by then! We can't be criticized and labeled traitors for the rest of our lives!"

Du Yongxiao smiled: "Please rest assured about this. You can adopt an open bidding method at that time and prevent foreign capital from participating."

"Huh? If we block foreign capital, won't that mean we'll also shut you out?" Quan Douguan said in surprise.

"No, that will never happen." Du Yongxiao took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "Have you forgotten that in a few days, the top ten financial groups in South Korea will all be in my hands! By then, they will be my shield. If you contract the construction to them, it will be equivalent to contracting it to me!"

Du Yongxiao's words awakened the dreamer.

Quan Douguang and others looked at each other, and suddenly their hearts were filled with fear.

Because they thought of one thing -
Could it be that Du Yongxiao has been planning for today from the beginning to the end?

In order to win the contracting rights for the Olympics and the future construction rights for South Korea, so many chaebols were eliminated in one go?

Moment of time -
Even a tough guy like Quan Douguang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He looked at Du Yongxiao in horror.

Du Yongxiao's expression remained unchanged, his fingers stroking the coffee cup, his eyes full of smiles.

But it was this smile that made Quan Douguang feel creepy.

The person in front of me is not a human being, but a cannibal.
demon!

……

When Du Yongxiao took Yan Xiong and Zhuang Dingxian away from the Blue House, it was dusk.

Winter in Seoul is really unpleasant.

At least that's how Du Yongxiao felt in the car.

Du Yongxiao knew that Quan Douguang and others would definitely not reject the suggestions he made today.

Because what Quan Douguan and his men are facing at this time is the stability of the political situation, not how much money Du Yongxiao can earn from the contract, or whether Du Yongxiao can really control the economic lifeline of South Korea.

For these greedy guys, they would rather destroy the entire country than let them spit out everything they got.

Du Yongxiao closed his eyes and dozed off leaning on the car seat.

Zhuang Dingxian was driving the car and Yan Xiong was sitting in the passenger seat.

The two were in turmoil and were still shocked by today's negotiations.

They never dreamed that one day they would be able to witness with their own eyes the spectacle of one person controlling an entire country.

And this person was Du Yongxiao who was sitting in the back.

Du Yongxiao, with his own strength, has intimidated the top ten chaebols in South Korea in one go, and now he is even playing with Quan Douguang and others in the palm of his hand.

It can be imagined that if Quan Douguan and others agreed to the request made by Du Yongxiao, then the real master of their so-called Republic of Korea would be Du Yongxiao.

Yan Xiong never dreamed that he would be able to witness this moment.

think about it,
In the past, he was just a detective in Yau Tsim Mong, Hong Kong, in charge of a tiny area.

He was already extremely proud at that time.

now what,
Seeing Du Yongxiao playing tricks, playing with the big guys in South Korea, and finally controlling a country, this level is nothing compared to his control of Yau Tsim Mong.
Yan Xiong didn't know how to describe it.

Zhuang Dingxian, who was driving at the time, had the same mood as Yan Xiong.

Before meeting Du Yongxiao, Zhuang Dingxian's biggest goal was to become a Chinese police superintendent, and he didn't even dare to dream of the position of Commissioner of Police.

It was not until he met Du Yongxiao and followed Du Yongxiao that he had such a heaven-defying idea-——
In the future, I want to be like Du Yongxiao,
Become a Chinese Police Commissioner!

but now--
Zhuang Dingxian suddenly realized how ridiculous his grand goal was.

Just as Yan Xiong and Zhuang Dingxian were thinking, Du Yongxiao suddenly opened his eyes, looked outside and said, "Stop the car."

Zhuang Dingxian quickly stepped on the brakes and the car stopped.

Looking again, I was at the Seoul Bridge.

I don't know when snowflakes started falling from the sky again.

bits and pieces.

Yan Xiong got out of the car first and came to the back to help Du Yongxiao open the door.

When Du Yongxiao got off the car, Zhuang Dingxian immediately took out his windbreaker and helped him put it on, and Yan Xiong held an umbrella for him.

It's cold on the Seoul Bridge.

Du Yongxiao came to the bridge railing and looked into the distance.

A few drunks behind me were shouting and throwing torn stocks into the air.
"Die, all of you! Die! Shiba!"

"No more alive!"

"Oh my God, what did I do wrong? Why is God punishing me like this?"

Several pedestrians on the bridge pointed at the drunk and whispered to each other:
"Oh, I wonder how many people have committed suicide by jumping into the river like him in the past few days!"

"Yes, I heard that they all failed in stock trading and lost everything!"

"My neighbor was the same. He didn't want to work and chose to speculate in stocks. In the end, he jumped off the building, leaving his wife and children behind. He was only 30 years old!"

A police car arrived slowly.

Two police officers got out of the car and controlled the drunk man.

The drunk struggled, ran to the bridge railing and tried to climb up and jump down.

The policeman came forward impatiently, pushed him to the ground, and even handcuffed him.
"Damn it, if you want to die, die far away! Don't you know we are very busy?" a policeman cursed.

They don’t know how many calls they have received recently, all of which are about people committing suicide by jumping off buildings or into rivers.

They have limited police force and are so exhausted that they may not even go home to be with their wives and children for several days.

"Think positively! If you fail in stock trading, you will only lose money. At least you are still alive. Work hard and try to pay off your debts! Wake up, your wife and children at home are still waiting for you!" said another policeman kindly.

The drunk wanted to struggle, but he couldn't, so he started crying.

A grown man was crying with tears and snot running down his face.

"I shouldn't have traded in stocks, Shiba! How am I going to pay off my debt? Do I have to sell my wife and children?"

"Oh, so they are borrowing money to trade stocks. That means living is a torture!" said a viewer.

"That's right, let's just jump into the river! So as not to implicate our family!"

“It’s all the fault of the stock market!”

"I heard that someone deliberately shorted our Korean stock market!"

"That man is a born bad guy!"

Everyone started to curse loudly.

They cursed Du Yongxiao for instructing Soros to do evil, causing the Korean economy to collapse and the stock market to plummet.

Of course, they don’t know who the real mastermind is, let alone that the mastermind is standing right beside them watching them coldly. They only know through hearsay that it is foreign capital that is doing evil here.

As the two policemen packed up the drunk and put him in the car, they took care of the crowd: "Don't gather here anymore, disperse! Disperse quickly!"

Everyone relaxed.

Yan Xiong approached Du Yongxiao and said, "Let's go too!"

Du Yongxiao glanced at the people cursing and swearing, then glanced at the drunkard who was dying, and finally turned around and said, "Yeah, let's go!"

behind,

The cold wind is like a knife!

This is exactly——
Once you enter the stock market,
Life or death is unpredictable!
