Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 955 0943 [Brothers Settle Accounts Clearly]

"How could this happen? Am I dreaming?"

Wen Peter shook his head vigorously, looking incredulous.

"That's right. Boss Lin and Mr. Li must have felt sorry for him and were keen on charity. That's why he got lucky and had the opportunity to take advantage of it! That must be the case!"

Wen Peter was thinking frantically. In his mind, Du Yongxiao was just a nobody. How could the two big guys be jealous of each other for him? Buying such a coin, no matter how you think about it, it must be that the two big guys wanted to donate money, and Du Yongxiao took advantage of it.

Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian thought so too.

They had a preconceived notion that Du Yongxiao was a poor guy and that his mother was pretending to be a nouveau riche, which led to this inexplicable blind date that made them regret their entire lives.

Now Du Yongxiao sold a coin at a high price of two million. Even a fool would know that there is something wrong.

Since Du Yongxiao is a poor man, the problem must be with Boss Lin and Li Zhaoheng.

"It must be that these two big guys wanted to show off and compete with each other secretly, so they staged the scene just now! It's impossible to explain it!"

"Yes, there is really no other explanation."

The couple also racked their brains to try to rationalize it all.

The audience at the scene were all confused. They looked at Du Yongxiao, then at Lin Jianyue, and then at Li Zhaoheng. They still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Only the two parties involved, Lee Siu-heng and Lam Kin-ngok, and Shao Da-heng who knew To Wing-hau, understood what had just happened. However, no one dared to expose the truth and remained silent tacitly.

The media reporters who were invited to the scene to write "beautiful articles" for Li Zhaoheng thought that all this was a play secretly manipulated by Li Zhaoheng.

And it's really dramatic. No wonder he is the heir of the Li family in Hong Kong. He has a smart mind and didn't even tell us in advance.

Immediately, crackling sound!
The reporters took a lot of photos of Li Zhaoheng.

More people already have the headlines for tomorrow's front page -
"Mr. Li spent three million on charity without hesitation!"

"Dedicated to charity, millions, millions, and millions more!"

The media reporters were so self-righteous that they frantically took photos of Li Zhaoheng, but ignored the real protagonist of the scene, Du Yongxiao.

And this is exactly what Du Yongxiao wanted.

Du Yongxiao himself doesn't like to be in the limelight, and this kind of small occasion is not suitable for him to show up.

Seeing the reporters surrounding Li Zhaoheng and Lin Jianyue and making a fuss about them, Du Yongxiao planned to leave before they could react.

Du Yongxiao's departure made Wen Peter more certain that Du Yongxiao had taken advantage of him and then escaped.

Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian also believed that Du Yongxiao left at this time because he felt guilty.

Kwan Ka Wai originally wanted to leave with Du Yongxiao, but her parents did not want her to leave so early. They said they would introduce her to many friends, including some big directors. Kwan Ka Wai had no choice but to watch Du Yongxiao leave the scene after parting with him.

"Jiahui, don't bother with people like this anymore!" Guan Yueshan said to his daughter. "Look at what happened just now. If it weren't for Boss Lin and Mr. Li's enthusiasm for charity, how could he have stepped down? He was so embarrassed!"

"Yes, Jiahui, it's our fault for introducing you to this person. Now we admit our mistake. You should stop associating with him in the future. After all, you come from a famous family. You must not let this kind of person affect your image."

Mother Zhang Bingqian also taught earnestly.

"Maybe you find it hard to understand what we say now, but when you grow up you will understand that people are divided into different classes and statuses, and not everyone can associate with people like us."

Wen Peter also came over at this time and said to Guan Jiahui: "Uncle and aunt are right, Jiahui, we all care about you! Just now you saw how unreliable that Du was. If it weren't for Boss Lin and Mr. Li's intervention, this party might have been ruined!"

"Think about it, with so many media reporters present, and this event was organized by Mr. Li, how embarrassing it would be for a nobody like him to come out and auction a coin? How dull would it be? If no one responded to him, wouldn't this event be so ridiculous if it got out? So, this time we have to thank Boss Lin and Mr. Li, they did everything for the event and for charity!"

After listening to the explanations from her parents and Peter Wen, Guan Jiahui was a little unsure for a moment. Could it be that Du Yongxiao was really a blind cat that caught a dead mouse? Was everything just an illusion?
But why was he so majestic and impressive just now? Why did he surprise people?
Two million per coin,

Maybe this really is just a dream.

Guan Jiahui's mind was in turmoil.

……

Du Yongxiao left the TVB studio and saw Yan Xiong and Zhuang Dingxian standing not far away, watching them stealthily from a distance.

Du Yongxiao shook his head and walked forward.

Yan Xiong hurried over and said, "Godfather, you were so impressive just now. You bid two million for a coin. I think Li Zhaoheng must be so embarrassed!"

Zhuang Dingxian also stepped forward and said, "That's right! That Li had a hard time organizing an event, but it was almost stolen by you, Brother Xiao. Fortunately, Brother Xiao is kind-hearted and unwilling to reveal your identity, otherwise how could he be the protagonist tonight?"

Du Yongxiao smiled, "Okay, I haven't asked you yet. Didn't I tell you not to follow me? How come you know everything I do?"

"Haha, I'm worried about you!" Yan Xiong said, "You are no longer the same as before. If something goes wrong, it will affect both the business and political sides, especially the Du Group. There is a high possibility of a major earthquake!"

"What the hell is an earthquake!" Du Yongxiao threw the key to the bankrupt car to Yan Xiong, "Drive the car back, I'm tired!" After that, he got into the Rolls-Royce that Yan Xiong and his friends drove, sat in the back and closed his eyes to take a nap.

Yan Xiong hurriedly signaled Zhuang Dingxian to serve Du Yongxiao well, and he went to drive the broken car.

Zhuang Dingxian was afraid of disturbing Du Yongxiao, so he got into the car carefully, started the car, and then asked, "Where are you going back to, Brother Xiao?"

Du Yongxiao muttered, "Go home! Find my mom. This blind date is finally over. I can go back and have a good sleep."

In Du Yongxiao's opinion, after tonight's event, Guan Yueshan and his wife probably have determined that they are paupers, and Guan Jiahui has also determined that she is a reckless person, so if they end this blind date, everything will be a natural outcome.

If the other party is unwilling, it will be useless no matter how anxious my mother Li Cuilian is.

The best strategy is to defeat my mother without fighting.

……

Sure enough, the next day, my mother Li Cuilian received a call from Guan Yueshan and his wife.

On the phone, the couple said very politely that their daughter was still young, and that Du Yongxiao looked very handsome and that his marriage should not be delayed because of their daughter.

Li Cuilian originally thought it was good news, but when she heard this, she knew that this blind date was doomed.

Soon, the couple set things right, saying that their daughter was not worthy of Du Yongxiao and so on, and asked Li Cuilian to help Du Yongxiao find another famous family.

Li Cuilian was not a fool, of course she could tell that these were all sarcasm, so she was wondering, her own son was the president of the Du Group and the first Chinese police chief, how could he not be worthy of their daughter?
Now that the other party's parents no longer agree, Li Cuilian is not the kind of person who likes to curry favor with someone who doesn't like her. Moreover, her status and position are different now, and she is used to others fawning over her. She can only sneer at the lack of tact of Guan Yueshan and his wife.

After hearing the news, Du Yongxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the pure and lovely image of Guan Jiahui involuntarily emerged in his mind. After all, she was a famous enamel doll. She was unparalleled in her previous life and charming, but who knows which bastard will take advantage of her in this life?
Du Yongxiao rarely had a good night's sleep at home, but was woken up by the noise of his parents at home.

After careful investigation, it turned out that there was a problem between the younger brother Du Yongshun and his girlfriend Chunli.

Chunli is a good girl. At least she followed Du Yongshun from Chinatown in Los Angeles to Hong Kong to work hard.

Du Yongshun is not very smart and can't help Du Yongxiao with many business matters, even if Du Yongxiao wants to arrange a senior position for him in the Du Group.

Helplessly, Du Yongshun had to continue staying at the dock and doing the dock business he was familiar with.

However, with the development of the times, the community-monopolized business of docks has gradually been replaced by more formal management models.

In other words, the extremely powerful Du Yongshun has actually lost his ability at the dock.

But he doesn't have the strength to move bricks at the construction site. If his family wasn't super rich, Du Yongshun probably wouldn't even have enough to eat.

So Du Yongxiao planned to arrange Du Yongshun to work in a security company.

But Du Dapao and Li Cuilian were firmly opposed to it. They thought the security company was too dangerous and the second son was not very smart. What if something went wrong?
As Du Yongshun's girlfriend, Chunli has a strong personality. She has never wanted to rely on the Du family for help and wants to build her own career.

For this reason, she not only rejected Du Yongxiao's help, but also rejected the large sum of money given to her by Li Cuilian. She actually borrowed money directly from the bank and took Du Yongshun away from the Du family to start a business.

In Chunli's opinion, Du Yongxiao also started from scratch. Since he could do it, then she and A Shun could do it too.

So Chunli took out a bank loan and started a clothing import and export business, mainly shipping clothing from Hong Kong to the United States for sale.

At this time, Hong Kong is one of the few industrial bases in Asia, unlike in the future when it will only be supported by finance, real estate and tourism.

There are many clothing companies in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. The clothes produced by these companies are of good quality and low price. After they are put on the market, they can be sold as high-end products with brand trademarks.

Chunli is engaged in the "original clothing label" business. Moreover, she has people in the United States to help her, so her clothing business is booming.

Although Du Yongshun is not very smart, he is strong and energetic. He is often responsible for looking after the factory, doing warehouse management, security, transportation and other work.

In just one year, Chunli and Du Yongshun made a profit of five million by selling OEM clothing.

In this era, a profit of 5 million a year is considered a success. But Chunli was not satisfied, because compared with Du Yongxiao, her achievement was as insignificant as a sesame seed.

Chunli is a woman, but she is very proud. She feels that she and Du Yongshun can go one step further and increase their profits to over 10 million.

So Chunli continued to borrow money crazily in order to expand her business.

Unfortunately, when she borrowed millions of dollars in an attempt to expand and become stronger, the Hong Kong economy began to transform, the real estate industry was booming, and the clothing business began to weaken. Most importantly, the United States was no longer interested in Hong Kong clothing, and Americans preferred Japanese products.

At the same time, the contact person who worked with Chunli in the United States ran away because he owed gambling debts and donations, causing the supply to be interrupted, which became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Chunli and Du Yongshun’s business venture was a complete failure!
In two years, not only did he not make a penny, but he also owed the bank three million!
Only then did Chunli realize that business was not something that anyone could do. She also realized how big the gap was between herself and Du Yongxiao.

If it were someone else, they would probably jump off a building if they owed the bank three million.

But who can blame them for the fact that behind them is the Du family, and the Du family has a big boss named Du Yongxiao.

The bank that lent money to Chunli and Du Yongshun was not nervous at all when it saw that they owed money. Not only did it not chase the increase in price, it even took the initiative to call and comfort the two of them, telling them that everything is difficult at the beginning and that failure is the mother of success. Finally, it asked them if they still wanted to continue with the loan?

How could Chunli and Du Yongshun dare to borrow money?

Now they are extremely poor and have no assets to mortgage.

But the bank said, what collateral do you need? Just say one word, Mr. Du, and we can lend you 10 million directly.

This is the sentence Chunli least wants to hear and what she hates to hear the most.

Because the reason why she brought Du Yongshun out to start a business was to stay away from the Du family and Du Yongxiao, their big backer, and let everyone know that the two of them could live a comfortable life without Du Yongxiao's help.

But the reality is really slapping me in the face.

Now the two of them have nowhere to go, they are in debt, and they are afraid of being embarrassed if they go back to the Du family.

Now Du Yongxiao's father Du Dapao and mother Li Cuilian are arguing about this matter.

According to Du Dapao, men are bound to face setbacks, especially in starting a business. If they fail, they should start all over again. If they don't want to rely on the Du family, they can make their own living. They can set up stalls outside to sell rice noodles and fish balls! Start small, pay off the debts slowly, and then continue to start a business.

If they can swallow their pride and need money, they can ask for it, and as a father he will definitely help.

But what Li Cuilian meant was that Chunli was too concerned about her reputation and Ashun was too stupid, and now they owed the bank a huge debt. Not to mention continuing to start a business outside, they might even have difficulty in making a living.

It is also said that Du Dapao, as a father, only loves his eldest son and not his youngest son. Now the eldest son Du Yongxiao has everything, while the youngest son is born with a slow brain and finally has a girlfriend. The two want to support themselves, but encounter difficulties. Now is the time for them to take the initiative to help.

"What the hell is initiative! If they don't take the initiative, how can I take the initiative? Do I have to rush over to give money?" Du Dapao said angrily, "Don't think I don't know that Chunli is arrogant and thinks she can compete with Ah Xiao. She wants to be as successful as Ah Xiao... But she is wrong. Ah Xiao is the only one in the world who is the chosen one! She will succeed in everything she does, or others, whether she or Ah Shun, will definitely fail!"

Li Cuilian was about to speak when Du Yongxiao came down from upstairs and said, "Okay, Mom and Dad, stop talking! After all, Ah Shun is my brother. I will take care of this matter!"

"Uh, arrange? How do you arrange?"

Du Dapao and Li Cuilian looked at Du Yongxiao together.

Du Yongxiao yawned and said, "I have just called the bank and settled the account! As for Chunli and Ashun, they will help me work and pay back the money from today on!"

"Uh, is that so?" The couple looked at each other, thinking that this was the best solution at the moment.

After all, more than 10 million is not a small amount of money. If Chunli and Du Yongshun were out there, they would probably never be able to pay it back in their lifetime.

"I don't know if they are willing..." Mom Li Cuilian is still a little worried.

Du Yongxiao smiled, "A Shun and the others are all grown-ups now. They can't rely on you to take care of them forever. They must pay back the three million! As for how to pay it back, I plan to let A Shun go to Africa to lead mercenaries. As for Chun Li, I'll send her to Hengchuang Real Estate to do sales!"

"Ahem, what? Let your brother go to Africa?"

"Let Chun-Li be the salesperson?"

The couple stared.

Du Yongxiao nodded, "Because this is the fastest way to make money!"
