Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 994 0979 [Operation to Overthrow Du]

"Li Sheng is very confident!" Du Yongxiao suddenly laughed and glanced at the complacent Li Zhaoheng.

"Isn't it?" Li Zhaoheng asked back, "Hengchuang's stock price plummeted after much difficulty, isn't this an opportunity?"

"Are you sure it will fall sharply?" Du Yongxiao asked back.

"Yeah, you can't mess around with this kind of thing!"

"Heng Chuang has always had good performance. Even if it is investigated by the ICAC, it may be suppressed secretly."

He Zuozhi and others said in a low voice.

At this moment, they wanted to eat meat but were afraid of falling in, so they were very conflicted.

Li Zhaoheng smiled and looked down at his watch. "It's almost time. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange will open soon. We will know whether the stock price will rise or fall."

"Hehe, I'd better call and ask first!" He Zuozhi couldn't wait any longer. It was too painful to wait for news like this, so he might as well take the initiative.

He Zuozhi went to call to inquire about the stock market situation.

Here, Du Yongxiao and Li Zhaoheng were facing each other, and neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere in the office is depressing.

Luo Wenhui and Deng Zhaojian didn't know who to show their goodwill to, so they kept quiet and waited for news.

Du Yongxiao signaled to Yan Xiong, who understood and also went to inquire about the news.

One minute, two minutes.

The atmosphere became tense.

A moment——
"What?" He Zuozhi's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Du Yongxiao in amazement while holding the microphone.

Du Yongxiao looked at him.

He Zuozhi swallowed his saliva, a fierce look appeared on his face, he hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and then walked back.

At this moment, his steps were vigorous and full of domineering.

He came to the opposite side of Du Yongxiao, sat down next to Li Zhaohengpu, and looked directly at Du Yongxiao without any respect.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Du. We just received news from the stock exchange that your company, Hengchuang, is being investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption for commercial bribery. As a result, shareholders have lost confidence in Hengchuang and many people have started selling your company's stock. The stock price has dropped from $3.20 to $2.80 and is still falling!"

boom!
Blast!

Luo Wenhui and Deng Zhaojian were ecstatic.

Li Zhaoheng's eyes flashed, his heart was excited, and a look of dominance and contempt appeared on his face.

Du Yongxiao's expression changed slightly, and he said, "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. It seems that Lord Bailiqu has really put a lot of effort into bringing me down."

He Zuozhi sighed, "Mr. Du, to be honest, we absolutely believe in you. As the Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong, you will never break the law knowingly, and you will never do anything that violates the law. But you are usually busy with official duties, and the group is too large, so it is inevitable that there will be bad apples among the good ones!"

"Yes, Mr. Du! We all believe that you will not tolerate your subordinates committing crimes, but your subordinates may not understand your good intentions. Moreover, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was founded by you, and it has always been strict in enforcing the law against corruption... Just take this as a lesson!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Du, you don't have to be upset about this. After all, they are not investigating you, but the entire company. The ICAC is also investigating the matter, not the person. The most important thing is how you can solve the crisis at hand."

He Zuozhi and the other two were talking to each other. On the surface, they seemed to be thinking about Du Yongxiao, but in fact they were thinking about how to cut their losses.

“How to resolve the crisis?”

Before Du Yongxiao opened his mouth, Li Zhaoheng smiled sinisterly, "Of course we have to sell our shares to protect ourselves! The current situation is very clear. Regardless of whether the Hengchuang incident is true or false, its reputation has been damaged and its stock price has plummeted. If we cannot sell our shares in time to stop the loss, then when the stock price drops from 3.2 yuan to 1.2 yuan, even a god will not be able to save it!"

Li Zhaoheng looked at Du Yongxiao proudly and said in a savior tone: "To be honest, Mr. Du, I don't have any deep hatred with you, and there is no need to fight to the end. If you tell me that I was wrong and ask me to help you, as a fellow Hong Konger, I will definitely lend a helping hand!"

"Tsk tsk, it's beneficial to all living beings!"

"Yes, you spent money to buy it just after the stock price fell. It's really a kind act!"

He Zuozhi and others gave Li Zhaoheng a thumbs up.

Li Zhaoheng glanced at Du Yongxiao proudly and said, "Believe me, as long as our Li family is there to support you, no matter what the outside world is like or what the rumors are, Hengchuang's stock will stop falling. At that time, you can at least get some chips."

"Yes, Du Sheng! This is a good idea. Please consider it."

"We are all Chinese. If Chinese don't help Chinese, do we need foreigners to help us?"

"Let's take this opportunity to shake hands and make peace!"

Du Yongxiao watched them perform without saying anything.

What Li Zhaoheng said is also true.

Hengchuang's stock price has just started to fall. If Du Yongxiao takes action in time and cuts losses, the losses can be minimized.

For example, if most of the stocks are sold to Li's Real Estate Company, with Li's support, the stock price will be temporarily suspended or even stop falling.

But, is it possible?
Li Zhaoheng's initial intention was to acquire Hengchuang. Would he acquire Hengchuang just as its stock price fell?
Unless he is Jesus.

Du Yongxiao believed that Li Zhaoheng was not Jesus, so what he just said was actually teasing Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao knew it well but did not point it out.

At this time, Yan Xiong walked in quickly after finding out the news.

He looked solemn.

It looks like things are not going well.

"Godfather, this is not good! I have learned from the Independent Commission Against Corruption that in addition to that old bastard Baili Qu who wants to get you, there are also seven or eight real estate companies that have testified that our Hengchuang violated business ethics, not only bribed and accepted bribes, but also forced sales..."

“Which companies?”

"Cheung Kong, Henderson Land, and New World..."

Yan Xiong listed those companies one by one.

Du Yongxiao nodded. These companies are all Hengchuang's competitors. It would be strange if they didn't add insult to injury at this time.

Especially Cheung Kong Industries. After the establishment of Hengchuang, it snatched a lot of their real estate business, causing Li Chaoren to lag behind for several years before becoming a real estate tycoon. In the previous life, if there had not been Hengchuang, the dark horse, Cheung Kong Industries would have become one of the four major real estate giants in Hong Kong in just three years, with an annual income of up to 200 million.

Seeing Yan Xiong's panic, Du Yongxiao comforted him, "Don't be afraid, rumors stop at the wise. Time will tell whether Hengchuang is guilty of these crimes."

"Hehe, no, godfather!" Yan Xiong hesitated, as if he had something to say.

Du Yongxiao frowned, "What do you want to say?"

Yan Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "That... Godfather, please don't be angry! That bastard Liu Jianxiong is back from Japan, and he wants to act as a tainted witness and accuse Hengchuang of all illegal activities!"

boom!
The scene exploded.

Liu Jianxiong?
Isn’t he the former general manager of Hengchuang?

I heard that Du Yongxiao expelled him, but I didn’t expect him to turn against me?
This is terrible!

With Liu Jianxiong's testimony, Hengchuang can't clear itself even if it jumps into the Yellow River! For the first time, Du Yongxiao's expression became ugly, his eyes were blazing, and he clenched his fists, making a crackling sound. It was obvious that he was already extremely angry.

Li Zhaoheng had never seen Du Yongxiao like this before, and he was immediately very excited. It turned out that you, Du, could also get angry. You also got this day! Haha!
He Zuozhi and the other two were so happy that they almost jumped up.

Hengchuang is really going to be finished!

They had meat to eat.

Only Yan Xiong understood why Du Yongxiao was so angry.

When Du Yongxiao was in Japan, he met Liu Jianxiong, who not only let him go, but also handed over the Tokyo real estate business to him. It can be said that he still trusted him and entrusted him with important tasks.

But Liu Jianxiong betrayed him again and again. How could Du Yongxiao tolerate this?

Seeing Du Yongxiao about to explode with anger, Li Zhaoheng felt extremely relieved. On the surface, he shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk, Mr. Du, your character doesn't look very good. Such a close subordinate actually betrayed you time and time again. Look, this time it has even been reported to the Independent Commission Against Corruption!"

"Well, I didn't say anything just now! It looks like your Hengchuang stock price is going to fall further! With the tainted witness's testimony, Hengchuang is doomed this time!" Li Zhaoheng touched his nose after he finished speaking, pretending to be frightened, "It was a close call, luckily you didn't agree to admit your mistake to me and ask me for help, otherwise I would have become the scapegoat. Hengchuang is such a big company, I would have to spend at least hundreds of millions to take it over. Now, maybe it only costs tens of millions, haha! Okay, I won't say any more, I'll wait for you in the basement, to be more precise, wait for your stock to fall, fall to the basement!"

After Li Zhaoheng finished speaking, he proudly stood up and prepared to take his men away.

Du Yongxiao said from behind: "Be careful——"

Li Zhaoheng turned his head to look at Du Yongxiao and asked with a smile: "What are you worried about?"

Du Yongxiao took out a cigarette and bit the corner of his mouth, looking at Li Zhaoheng with contempt, and then he lit it with a click, and blew a puff of smoke at Li Zhaoheng: "There is hell under the basement, and there are eighteen levels under hell!"

Li Zhaoheng was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter, clapped his hands, and said defiantly: "Okay! Well said! Then I'll wait for you in the eighteenth level of hell!"

After saying that, Li Zhaoheng laughed loudly towards the sky and strode away.

……

Soon, the office returned to calm.

He Zuozhi looked at Du Yongxiao, but Du Yongxiao said nothing.

He had no choice but to cough and said, "Mr. Du, the situation is now very clear. You should save Hengchuang Real Estate. As for Jiayi Television, you should not acquire it!"

"Yes, spend your money wisely! We are doing this for your own good!"

Luo Wenhui said.

"Mr. Du, I don't have much to say. I wish you good luck!" Deng Zhaojian said.

Du Yongxiao took one look at the three of them and saw through them.

He Zuozhi and the other two didn't dare to look Du Yongxiao in the eye and quickly avoided him.

Yes,

This opportunity is rare.

If we can get the big piece of meat from Hengchuang, we can revive Jiayi!
What will you sell then?

"very good!"

Du Yongxiao finally spoke.

Get up.

Yan Xiong hurried forward to serve.

Du Yongxiao held a cigarette and Yan Xiong picked up the ashtray.

Du Yongxiao flicked the ash, took another puff, and crushed the half-smoked cigarette directly into the ashtray.

Yan Xiong put the ashtray back.

Du Yongxiao turned around and glanced at He Zuozhi and the other two, "Please remember what I said today. I have always distinguished between gratitude and resentment. I repay gratitude when I am grateful and I avenge my grievances when I am revenging my grievances!"

After saying that, he smiled contemptuously and turned away.

Yan Xiong said to He Zuozhi and the other two, "Did you hear that clearly? My godfather is very clear about gratitude and grudges. You'd better write it down in a notebook to avoid regretting it later!" After saying that, he snorted coldly and chased after Du Yongxiao.

After Du Yongxiao left, He Zuozhi and the other two looked at each other.

"Is he threatening us?" Luo Wenhui asked.

"It seems so." Deng Zhaojian said.

"Why?" He Zuozhi asked.

"Just because he is Du Yongxiao."

"Haha!" He Zuozhi sneered twice, "Maybe we were afraid of him before, but now - as long as Hengchuang is acquired, the Du Group will be on the verge of collapse. Why should we be afraid of him then?"

"That's right! Now we should form an anti-Du alliance with Lisheng and unite with the bigwigs and tycoons in Hong Kong. Anyone who is dissatisfied with Du Yongxiao and anyone who wants to share Hengchuang is our friend!"

"There is strength in numbers! Even if Du Yongxiao is the Commissioner of Police, so what? Even if he is worth billions, so what? If we rush forward in droves, we will not be afraid that a pack of wolves will be defeated by a vicious tiger!"

"Hahaha!"

"We'll definitely win!"

……

"Hong Kong breaking news! Hong Kong Hengchuang Real Estate is in trouble, suspected of commercial bribery and other cases, and has been formally prosecuted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption!"

"Liu Jianxiong, former general manager of Hengchuang Real Estate Hong Kong, announced that he would serve as a tainted witness in the ICAC's investigation of Hengchuang. He also announced that he would make public all the illegal acts committed by Hengchuang since its establishment!"

"Hengchuang Real Estate was caught up in a scandal, which caused its stock price to plummet. The original price of 3.2 yuan fell directly to 2 yuan. Countless people are waiting to see the stock price cut in half!"

"Hong Kong stockholders have begun to sell off Hengchuang's shares. This stock, once known as a golden goose, has now become a market outcast! Economic observers and stockbrokers speculate that Hengchuang Real Estate's share price will drop to 1.6 yuan at most next week! In other words, it will be officially cut in half!"

Such explosive news was broadcast continuously on TV.

Newspapers and magazines were full of articles saying: "Hengchuang is in crisis! Du Group is in crisis!"

Some stock analysts even took the opportunity to hype the situation, acting like wise after the event, saying that they had long seen that there were problems with Hengchuang and that the sudden collapse was no accident.

As business people, what they are considering at this moment is what to do: join the fight against the Du Group, divide up Hengchuang or even the huge Du Group, or wait and see and do nothing.

Some bigwigs who have a good relationship with Du Yongxiao can only take a wait-and-see attitude at this moment, such as Boss Huo, Lin Baixin, Zheng Yutong and others.

They all have a deep friendship with Du Yongxiao, but it is not convenient for them to interfere in Hengchuang's affairs now. The reason is very simple: the water is too deep.

The business world in Hong Kong is changing rapidly, not to mention that the Li family has launched an "anti-Du operation" this time, which involves a large number of people. If they act rashly, they might be dragged into the water.

The wait-and-see behavior of Boss Huo and others was directly interpreted by some people as "Du Yongxiao has no friends willing to help", so the number of people who opposed Du increased again.

Li Zhaoheng, Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji, Li Zhaofu, etc., held various gatherings every day to discuss how to overthrow Du. Even some foreign financial groups were attracted, such as Mitsubishi and Panasonic in Japan, Howard in Britain, Louis Winery in France, Rockefeller and Quantum Fund in the United States, etc., all of which were ready to open their bloody mouths to get a piece of the pie.

It can be said that -
Hengchuang, a subsidiary of the Du Group, suffered a stock market storm and attracted global attention, which is unprecedented in this era!
