Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1133 Chapter 1119 [End]

Three days later-
The special car of Police Commissioner To Wing-hau ran over the puddles, and the black and white license plate with the number 1 was exceptionally clear.

When the guards at the Governor's Office saw the license plate, they immediately saluted Du Yongxiao's special car.

The special car did not stop at all and went straight in.

The only person who could drive freely in and out of the Governor's House was Du Yongxiao.

When Du Yongxiao's special car arrived at the gate of the mansion, Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose personally went to greet him with a group of high-ranking foreign officials including judicial boss Bai Liqu.

At this moment, it seemed as if Du Yongxiao was the Governor of Hong Kong, and Murray MacLehose was very humble.

"Hello, Governor of Hong Kong!" Du Yongxiao shook hands with Murray MacLehose.

"Hello, Director Du!" Murray MacLehose smiled and invited Du Yongxiao in.

"I wonder why you invited me here this time?" Du Yongxiao asked.

MacLehose said: "Have you forgotten that the three chief judges of Hong Kong are going to be replaced this time? I have recommended a few people and I hope you can review them."

Du Yongxiao laughed: "Governor, you are joking. You are the Governor of Hong Kong, and personnel appointments are subject to your opinion. I am only the Commissioner of Police, and I dare not overstep my authority."

"Don't say that!" MacLehose said in fear, "I know Director Du, you are very busy with official duties. Not long ago, you acquired the Hong Kong Li Group, but for major matters such as personnel changes, I still need to consult your opinion--"

"Yes, Director Du, you must be polite!" This time it was Sir Baili Qu who spoke.

Baili Qu is now very respectful to Du Yongxiao and is no longer as arrogant and rude as before.

The other foreign high-ranking officials also looked at Du Yongxiao eagerly.

Not long after Du Yongxiao returned to Hong Kong, he annexed the Li Group, the largest family in Hong Kong, and caused Li Zhaoheng to commit suicide by jumping off a building. His cruelty is frightening.

Du Yongxiao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, I believe in your judgment."

Seeing Du Yongxiao nod, Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose hurriedly handed the list of recommenders to Du Yongxiao.

Under everyone's gaze, Du Yongxiao opened the list and looked at it.

He looked very carefully and slowly.

Everyone, including MacLehose and Pak-Li Qu, held their breath.

After reading it, Du Yongxiao looked up at the Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, and said with a smile, "Very good, let's decide according to the candidates on the list!"

See Du Yongxiao nodded.

Only then did MacLehose breathe a sigh of relief.

Sir Baili Qu also let out a sigh of relief.

The others smiled at each other.

As long as Du Yongxiao nods, the major personnel change will be completed and there will be no more unexpected changes.

"In addition to personnel changes, there are several new policies that are ready to be introduced. Director Du, please take a look!" This time, Sir Baili Qu took out several documents.

Du Yongxiao shook his head: "I won't read these!"

"Uh, this-"

Du Yongxiao stood up with a smile and patted Baili Qu on the shoulder: "Because I trust you!"

This sentence made Baili Qu excited, "Thank you Director Du for your trust!"

The other foreigners looked at Baili Qu with envy, and once again marveled at Du Yongxiao's magnanimity.

They were once rivals and enemies.

Now Du Yongxiao thinks so highly of Baili Qu.

Du Yongxiao glanced at the others and said, "Actually, I came here today to say something to you all--"

"Director Du, please speak!"

"I'm all ears!"

All the foreigners looked at Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao smiled and said, "I hope you can help the Governor to govern Hong Kong. As the Commissioner of Police, I will redouble my efforts to build a good rule of law in Hong Kong, create a long-term stable external environment for Hong Kong, attract investment, and make Hong Kong a world-class metropolis!"

clap clap clap!
The applause was thunderous.

"well said!"

“So inspiring!”

"Director Du is worthy of being Director Du. He truly serves Hong Kong wholeheartedly!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Du Yongxiao said with his hands behind his back and a smile, "So in order to achieve this goal, I hope everyone can help me do something."

"What's the matter, Director Du?"

"Yes, if we can do it, we will do it even if it means death!"

Du Yongxiao's starry eyes swept over this group of flattering foreigners, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly: "It's simple, all you need to do is to write a joint letter to the London Parliament and to Her Majesty the Queen--"

Amid the confusion of many foreign officials, Du Yongxiao said calmly: "Tell them - Hong Kong needs more Chinese to help govern. At least one-third of the senior officials should be Chinese!"

moment--
Silence fell.

one third?

Doesn’t that mean that one-third of these people will be laid off in the future?
This night,
The Governor's House stayed awake all night.

Du Yongxiao single-handedly broke the curse cast by the foreigners on Hong Kong.

Chinese cannot hold high positions in government?

Shit!

Hong Kong belongs to the Chinese, not to the foreigners!
……

After Du Yongxiao wiped out the century-old Li family in Hong Kong, annexed the Li Group, and cleared out some idiot foreigners in the Governor's government, the whole of Hong Kong was completely renewed.

At this time, Du Yongxiao's life had almost reached its peak, but his legend continued -
…… Ming Pao’s 1980 special issue “The Emperor of Kowloon” -——
"Yesterday, the Independent Commission Against Corruption announced that the crime rate in Hong Kong dropped by 1980% in 73. This was attributed to the 'Police-Citizen Unity Plan' implemented by Mr. To Wing-hau. The 32-year-old Commissioner of Police not only eliminated the K that had been entrenched in Tsim Sha Tsui for years, but also restructured the anti-triad unit into a special service department directly under the Governor of Hong Kong..."

Du Yongxiao threw the newspaper into the fireplace, and the flames licked the ink of the photo of himself wearing a police hat.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, lights were on on the fishing boats in the Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter, and twenty smuggling speedboats disguised as fishing boats were unloading their cargo.

The leader of He Liansheng knelt on the Persian carpet with his forehead resting on the barrel of the gold-plated revolver.

"Brother Xiao, Hutchison Whampoa's ship will arrive in the high seas tomorrow." Zhuang Dingxian handed over the cigar cutter, "Mr. Huo wants to ask about the batch of medical equipment shipped to the north..."

"Tell Mr. Fok that the customs clearance documents will be approved directly by the Chief Secretary." Du Yongxiao turned the jade ring on his thumb and looked at the Central buildings on the other side of Victoria Harbour.

Three months later,
Jardine Matheson is about to change its name to Du.

……

"Asia Weekly" 1987 cover story "The Spring of One Billion People" -
"When Li Jiacheng was still watching the mainland market, Du Yongxiao had already built the first glass curtain wall office building on Chang'an Avenue in North J. This mysterious 'red capitalist' not only facilitated Hong Kong businessmen to invest in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, but also took over the four major British-owned groups, Jardine Matheson, Swire, Wheelock and Kadoorie..."

Shenzhen Luohu Port——
Du Yongxiao's Rolls-Royce passes through the newly completed Shennan Avenue.

As bulldozers were rolling over rice fields and pile drivers were roaring, he took the satellite phone from his secretary and said, "Tell my friends in Moscow that I want 51% of the shares of the Siberian oil pipeline."

The convoy stopped at a dusty construction site.

Five hundred workers wearing safety helmets suddenly shouted in unison: "Hello, Mr. Du!"

The sound waves shook off the egrets in the rice fields.

Du Yongxiao looked at the foundation being poured in the distance, where China's first electronics foundry would rise - a full ten years ahead of schedule.

……

June 1997, 6, Victoria Peak, Hong Kong——
Du Yongxiao stood on the edge of the viewing platform, the corners of his black Tang suit blown up by the night wind. The lights of Victoria Harbour flowed into a golden river under his feet, and the sound of the British army's flag-lowering horn came from the Central Pier.

He lit a cigar, and the flame illuminated the knife-like wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Mr. Du, the press conference is about to begin." The secretary reminded softly while holding the satellite phone.

He waved his hand and glanced at the dense crowd of spectators at the foot of Taiping Mountain.

When I first arrived at Kowloon Walled City thirty years ago, those cramped huts still smelled of white smoke, but now they have been transformed into the China World Trade Center that reaches into the sky.

The young man who used to pour tea for Inspector Lei Luo and Yan Xiong was now watching the Union Jack slowly descending.

The Nokia 8810 in my arms suddenly vibrated——
Du Yongxiao smiled as he read the text message. The encrypted message from Bei J contained only eight words:

"Tonight the stars are shining and the landscape is picturesque."

……

Time Magazine's Person of the Year 1998: The Dollar Butcher
"When Soros's Quantum Fund swept across Southeast Asia, they encountered the most formidable opponent. Du Yongxiao, Soros's former master and the person he most hated to mention after his betrayal, used 23 billion US dollars of foreign exchange reserves to confront the financial tycoon head-on in the Hong Kong stock market. This 'Hong Kong dollar defense war' that shocked the world ended with Soros losing billion US dollars... "

Exchange Square, Central
Du Yongxiao stands in the panoramic office on the 88th floor overlooking the Victoria Harbour.

Twelve LCD screens were flashing global stock market data in real time, and the Nikkei index of the Tokyo Stock Exchange was plummeting.

He pressed the red button on his encrypted phone: "Sell all yen positions and notify the London branch to short the pound."

Three days later-
The British Chancellor of the Exchequer announced on television that he would withdraw from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.

Du Yongxiao chuckled as he watched the BBC live broadcast, holding a crystal glass filled with 1945 Macallan whisky.

The secretary handed over the latest financial report: a net profit of $120 billion from shorting the pound.

……

Forbes 2000 feature article "God's Treasury" -
"Today, the Du Group officially acquired 85% of the shares of South Africa's De Beers Diamond Company. So far, this super consortium spanning technology, energy, finance, and military industry has finally put the crown of the world's richest man on the head of a Chinese. Even more shocking is that Du Yongxiao announced that half of his assets would be injected into the 'Silk Road Charity Fund'..."

United Nations Headquarters, New York
Du Yongxiao's Zhongshan suit stands out among a crowd of western suits.

When he said "the RMB settlement system will be launched next year", an Associated Press reporter knocked over his camera.

After the speech, the finance ministers of 17 countries lined up in the lounge. The French Minister of Economy even prepared a marriage plan for his daughter and Du Yongxiao's son.

That night——
All the LED screens in Manhattan suddenly flashed red Chinese characters.

Du Yongxiao stood on the top floor of the Empire State Building, looking at the seven big words "East wind blows thousands of flowers at night" lighting up the Hudson River.

This is a light show using a newly acquired NASA satellite - to celebrate the successful launch of a quantum communications satellite by a Long March rocket.

……

"Human M Daily" 2022 Special Edition "Light of the Heavenly Palace" -——
"Under the leadership of Academician Du Yongxiao, China's quantum computer 'Jiuzhang-1' has surpassed million qubits today. At the same time, Du Aerospace announced that the first batch of colonists at the lunar base will set off during the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center——
Seventy-three-year-old Du Yongxiao sits in a wheelchair and looks up at the stars.

On the big screen, the Tiangong space station is docking with its latest module.

When asked by reporters about his regrets in life, he turned the jade ring he had worn 55 years ago and said, "It's a pity that I didn't see my fellow Taiwanese go to the moon together."

The next morning -
A holographic projection of the five-star red flag lit up on the top floor of Taiwan’s B101 building.

When TSMC's chairman held an emergency meeting, he discovered that all chip production lines had been remotely locked.

The Du Group’s announcement only had one sentence: “The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, it’s time to go home.”

……

July 2047, 7, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre——
The holographic projection recreates the grand return event of fifty years ago.

When Du Yongxiao in the virtual image raised a glass of champagne, nine golden laser dragons suddenly lit up in the real Victoria Harbour.

The young host choked up with excitement: "The 50th anniversary celebration received a mysterious gift, a low-Earth orbit satellite constellation has just been formed. Mr. Du's famous saying - "

In the night sky -
The Chinese characters formed by 3,000 artificial satellites illuminate the earth: "There has never been an emperor in this world, only people who are unwilling to live on their knees!"

The sea breeze from Victoria Harbor scatters the starlight,

The century-old banyan tree on the top of Victoria Peak rustles.

Deep in the tree hole——
In a rusty safe, there is a Shixiawei house number, a faded police ID, and a yellowed note.
On the note was a poem written in pen:
"One day the sleeping dragon will finally get rain, today the crane will fly into the sky!"
