Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1009 0994 [King of Africa]
Hong Kong,
International Airport——
A foreigner wearing a windbreaker walked out of the airport quickly with his assistant.
Outside the airport, a series of Rolls-Royces were waiting.
"Mr. Soros, Mr. Du has already prepared a family dinner for you at home."
This is about Huang Ying, the closest woman to Du Yongxiao. Her current status is very important. She is not only the president of Ming Pao, but also a famous strong woman in Hong Kong and a female boss in the newspaper industry.
However, compared with these identities, Huang Ying still likes others to call her the woman behind Du Yongxiao.
Huang Ying also likes to help Du Yongxiao with some personal matters, such as coming to pick up Soros at the airport.
Besides some bodyguards, Huang Ying was accompanied by senior executives of the Du Group, which shows how much importance Du Yongxiao attached to Soros's coming this time.
Soros glanced at the series of Rolls-Royces that attracted passers-by to stop and watch. He shrugged and said, "Dear Du really gave me face by getting so many luxury cars. It must be very impressive to sit in them."
Huang Ying quickly replied in a serious tone: "Mr. Soros, you are an honored guest. Mr. Du said that we must greet you with the greatest pomp and ceremony. This is the greatest courtesy to you!"
Soros nodded. "I understand that you Chinese people are very particular about etiquette, but as far as I know, Mr. Du has always been a low-key person and doesn't like to do this kind of thing. But today he arranged it so grandly, so it must be intentional, right?"
Huang Ying laughed: "Mr. Soros is indeed an extraordinary person. Mr. Du can tell you nothing. Please get in the car!"
"Hahaha! It seems that Mr. Du really wants people to know that I came to Hong Kong from the United States!" Soros said something with a hint of meaning, and then got into the car.
The luxurious convoy slowly left the airport, moving like a long dragon and attracting a lot of attention.
Everyone looked sideways——
"Who is this? Why is there so much fanfare?"
"It looks like the Du Group is picking someone up!"
"To pick someone up? Guests from the United States? What the hell is the Du Group doing?"
Everyone started talking and their imaginations began to run wild.
And this news began to spread.
Hong Kong is, after all, a small place.
In Hong Kong, the poor live in tube-shaped buildings, the middle class live in high-rise buildings, and the rich live in the mountains.
And among the mountains.
The Peak is where the real celebrities of Hong Kong live.
In this era, anyone with status is proud to live in Taipingshan. It is also an honor to be able to live next to those rich people and foreigners.
Living here, you can overlook the entire Hong Kong River and Victoria Harbour, and you will have a sense of superiority without even realizing it.
However, the Peak of Victoria Peak in that era was not a place that ordinary people could live in. Not everyone could live there if they were rich. For example, the former Chief Chinese Detective, Lei Luo, was not qualified to live in such a place. Another example was Cheung Kong Holdings tycoon Li Jiacheng, who, although rich, was not qualified to live there in that era and could only live along the road of Victoria Peak.
The Peak is where the Governor of Hong Kong and the foreigners from Bailiqu live.
They like the feeling of being superior and crushing the Chinese.
This situation was not broken until a person appeared, and that was Du Yongxiao.
As the first Chinese police chief, Du Yongxiao has an unparalleled status and position. He is also a first-class earl of the British Empire appointed by the British royal family. Of course, he is qualified to live in the Peak!
In addition, Du Yongxiao has the temperament of a tycoon and owns the Du Group, which is as rich as a country. Some people say that Hong Kong belongs half to foreigners and half to Du Yongxiao! Even the Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, has to give Du Yongxiao enough face.
Others think this statement is exaggerated, but only people in Hong Kong’s core circle know that this statement is not only not exaggerated at all, but is even quite restrained.
As the era of the four great detectives came to an end, Du Yongxiao began to reorganize the Hong Kong police force. Not only was he well-connected with both the black and white worlds, he also possessed unparalleled wealth. Such a Du Yongxiao was respected as the "Emperor of Hong Kong" and was able to cover the sky with one hand!
The villa where Du Yongxiao lives today is built on the top of Victoria Peak.
Usually, when Du Yongxiao had nothing to do, he would come here to rest and vacation. When he had work, he would live in the private residence allocated by the British Hong Kong government.
At this time, the luxury convoy carrying the foreigner Soros moved forward and soon arrived at a Chinese-style garden villa covering hundreds of acres.
The villa has three floors. Since it is built on the mountain, the scenery on each floor is unique.
The convoy entered the gate and came to a cobblestone road. On both sides of the road were rows of stone benches, on which were arranged various shapes of flower and tree bonsai, which were pleasing to the eye.
Turning left on the main road, there is a moon gate. Entering the moon gate is the courtyard on the first floor of the villa.
At this time, Zhuang Dingxian, who was responsible for welcoming Soros, stepped forward quickly to welcome Soros out of the car.
Be courteous and considerate.
Zhuang Dingxian is a civil servant and is good at dealing with people, so Du Yongxiao arranged for him to come and do the job.
After some pleasantries, Zhuang Dingxian politely took Soros into the villa garden and said, "Mr. Du is already waiting for you inside."
Soros nodded, and under the guidance of Zhuang Dingxian, he walked through rockery, streams, attics and pavilions, and finally came to a study.
Zhuang Dingxian signaled Soros to wait a moment, then walked forward and knocked on the door three times.
dong dong dong.
"Mr. Du, I have brought the person here."
"Very good, please invite him in quickly!" Du Yongxiao's voice came from the room.
"Yes!"
As Zhuang Dingxian spoke, he pushed open the study door, stepped back to make way, then turned around and made an inviting gesture, indicating that Soros could come in.
Soros entered the study, only to see Du Yongxiao coming up to him with a smile, saying, "You're finally here, please take a seat!" He invited Soros to sit down at the tea table next to him.
Soros took a look and found that the tea table was extremely beautiful. The whole thing was carved from jade. The green color of the jade was gorgeous and it was obvious that it was made of high-quality material.
The outside of the tea table is carved with traditional Chinese figures of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, and each figure is lifelike.
Even though Soros didn't quite understand the story of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", he felt that these paintings were beautiful.
"We Chinese have a saying that 'the guest should follow the host's wishes'. Since you are here, you can enjoy our traditional Chinese tea ceremony. However, I have only recently learned this thing, and I am not very proficient yet, I am sorry to embarrass you!" Du Yongxiao said with a smile, and began to boil water and wash cups, with a set of movements flowing like water. Du Yongxiao met Soros in the United States, and Soros was deeply impressed by Du Yongxiao. Now seeing him again, he found that Du Yongxiao has become more mature and more charming. With Du Yongxiao's sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, Soros couldn't help but marvel that if he were a girl, he might also like him.
Soon, the tea boiled.
Du Yongxiao took a cup and handed it to Soros.
Soros imitated Du Yongxiao and sipped the wine gently.
"Yes! Chinese tea is truly extraordinary," Soros praised.
Du Yongxiao smiled and said, "Since you think it's good, drink a few more cups."
Soros smiled and put down the cup in his hand: "You can drink the tea slowly, but we should talk about business first."
Du Yongxiao also put down his teacup: "Okay, time is running out now, we need to have a good talk."
In fact, Du Yongxiao invited Soros to Hong Kong this time to discuss the attack on Li Zhaoheng, Li Jiacheng and others.
Billion-dollar war!
There are only a few people in the world who can withstand such a huge financial war, and Soros is one of them.
In the last life, at the beginning of the 1997 financial crisis, there was a rumor that Hong Kong would abandon the linked exchange rate, the Hong Kong dollar would depreciate and the renminbi would be at risk. The news spread like wildfire, and dark clouds once again shrouded Hong Kong.
This Asian financial crisis is the most serious crisis in Asia since World War II.
The crisis has caused heavy economic losses to all countries and seriously damaged their vitality. The crisis is causing shocks in the entire social and political life.
As the saying goes, when the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond will be affected. Hong Kong, the towering tree that once stood tall and unmoved during the financial crisis, began to shake violently in the wind this time.
Since the financial crisis, international tycoons led by Soros have been making huge profits in Hong Kong stocks, foreign exchange and futures.
Hong Kong people wiped their tears. The Asian financial crisis dealt a heavy blow to Hong Kong. As a world financial center, Hong Kong's GDP in the second quarter had a negative growth of 5%, the unemployment rate reached 5%, and the total retail sales in January-April fell 1% compared with the same period last year...
Hong Kong in the storm: Soros has been called many things, including the "market driver", "genius financial speculator", "godfather of the financial world", and "missionary of the speculative market". Prime Minister Mahathir's angry condemnation seems to have given Soros free advertising, making his image as a "financial tycoon" more popular.
It can be said that in his previous life, Du Yongxiao was very disdainful and hateful of Soros, thinking that he was a financial tycoon who wanted to attack Hong Kong during the 1997 crisis, bringing a lot of pain to the Chinese people.
Du Yongxiao also didn't like this guy. He felt that he was despicable and shameless, and his methods were vicious.
But in terms of financial warfare, Soros is definitely a talent, even surpassing another financial tycoon who is on par with him, Buffett, in some aspects.
In terms of strength, behind Buffett stands the American Ansatyac Rockefeller family and others, while behind Soros stands the Jewish consortium.
In the United States, the Jewish financial group and the American Ansa financial group have been fighting each other, with both sides winning and losing. The two major parties in the United States, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, are also controlled by these two financial groups.
Specifically, the Republican Party is backed by the Anglo-Saxon financial group such as Rockefeller, while the Democratic Party is backed by the Jewish financial group headed by Rothschild.
Interests are the key to the confrontation between the two sides.
Although this group of people is small in number, they control the wealth of the entire world and can easily paralyze the economy of a small country.
Therefore, on Wall Street in the United States, Soros and Buffett respectively represent the power of the two major financial groups and fight for their respective financial groups.
Du Yongxiao was well aware of this relationship. His purpose in winning over Soros this time was just to use his technology to teach a lesson to Hong Kong bosses such as Li Zhaoheng and Li Jiacheng.
"I have already acquired all the overseas assets of Ritchie, Cheung Kong, Henderson Land Development and other companies on Wall Street in the United States." Soros said quickly. "If nothing unexpected happens, the battle will be over in three days at most."
Du Yongxiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
"No, it's not hard for me at all." Soros said, "It's my honor to be able to participate in such a game. After all, a billion-dollar war is not something you can easily encounter. Besides, in my opinion, you are the real chess master. It's ridiculous that your opponents are still in the dark. They are waving flags and shouting in Hong Kong, trying to swallow up your company, while you are going abroad to buy up their overseas assets and have achieved your goal without knowing it. This is amazing!"
When Soros said these words, his expression was full of admiration.
Yes, he can only admire Du Yongxiao.
Who could have guessed that Du Yongxiao would be so insidious, dealing with Li Zhaoheng and others on the surface, but secretly going to raid their lair abroad.
Now, with the help of Soros, Du Yongxiao has already seized all the overseas assets of the Li Zhaoheng family, Li Jiacheng's investments in the UK and the US, as well as the overseas assets of Li Zhaoji and others!
Not only that, Du Yongxiao now invites Soros from the United States to swallow up the assets of his opponents in Hong Kong.
Du Yongxiao is not just dreaming, he has the ability to do so.
Especially since he has the support of the Rockefeller family in the United States and the Howard family in the United Kingdom, he has no pressure on funds.
To be precise, Li Zhaoheng and his team raised tens of billions, and Du Yongxiao raised almost the same amount.
The only difference is——
Li Zhaoheng raised HK$10 billion.
And what Du Yongxiao raised was,
US dollars!
It can be said that only financial tycoons like Soros know how terrifying Du Yongxiao is today.
The two chatted about various situations and talked about Du Yongxiao's layout in Africa. Soros said that Du Yongxiao made a lot of money in Africa. Now most of Africa should be under your control, right?
The reason why Soros mentioned these is that in addition to the help from Rockefeller and Howard, the largest source of funds for Du Yongxiao's tens of billions of dollars is Africa!
When Du Yongxiao set up his business in Kenya, Africa, he took control of the economic lifeline of the entire country of Kenya. Diamond mines, gold mines, and oil brought him wealth continuously.
Then, Du Yongxiao used the wealth to start operating in other African countries, such as Ethiopia, Congo, etc.
Like Kenya before, these countries also brought huge benefits to Du Yongxiao.
Those who know the details know that if Du Yongxiao returns to Africa now, he will truly be the "King of Africa".
"Honestly, Mr. Du, I don't understand why you care so much about Hong Kong, a tiny place, when you have already achieved great success in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Africa?" Soros asked doubtfully. "There are so many beautiful places out there, and there is a lot of room for people like you to do, right?"
In fact, Soros has been thinking about this issue for a long time. In his opinion, Du Yongxiao now has a very high status and position, especially a great reputation abroad. There is no need to fight with these people in this tiny place.
Those people are not worthy of fighting Du Yongxiao.
So Soros thought, why should Du Yongxiao lower his status and insist on being the king here?
Seeing Soros asking the question, Du Yongxiao smiled and said, "The reason is very simple--"
Pick up the teacup and take a sip-——
"I am Chinese!"
