Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1055 1041 [Love Investment Group]

Du Yongxiao remained silent until Yan Xiong finished what he wanted to say. Then he took the napkin to wipe his mouth, put down the spoon in his hand, looked at Yan Xiong and said, "So, do you think I'm sending you to the inland area just to send you to the frontier? To make you suffer?"

"Isn't it, godfather?" Yan Xiong said bravely, "The mainland is so poor. My mother and I fled to Hong Kong from the mainland because we couldn't get food. Our place is relatively good, not too rural, and we can occasionally eat some rice. I heard that in many places in the countryside, there is not even rice or steamed buns to eat. People are so hungry that they eat tree bark and Guanyin soil..."

Of course, Du Yongxiao understood that what Yan Xiong said was true. That period of time was a very difficult time in the country. There was international suppression and natural disasters in the country. The people were all starving and their backs were sticking to each other. However, that period of history also tempered our people's spirit of hard work and never giving up. For many older generations, that period of history was not only about hardship, but also about inspiration and the national spirit of helping each other and overcoming difficulties together.

It’s just that some people now have too much to do and, under the guise of democracy, the so-called democratic fighters like to lash out at that period and put all the blame on the country. However, they don’t know that it’s not easy for a country to feed you, otherwise how could it allow you to fart as you please?

Back to reality, Yan Xiong's worries are not wrong. Yan Xiong fled from the mainland. Asking him to return to the mainland now is undoubtedly a blow to him.

"Godfather, to be honest, I am really loyal to you. It is true that I have done things that let you down in the past, but that is all in the past. Please don't worry about it. As for now, if you think I shouldn't help those Chinese businessmen, I admit it. I would rather accept other punishments, but..." Yan Xiong looked at Du Yongxiao with his eyes level, and said in a firm tone: "But I really don't want to go to the mainland."

After hearing what Yan Xiong said, Jiang Ling'er's reaction was that Yan Xiong was determined not to go to the mainland to work hard.

Jiang Muling's reaction was that Yan Xiong's tone seemed to be protecting or siding with those Chinese businessmen. Now it depends on what Du Yongxiao thinks about monopoly.

Du Yongxiao did not speak, but Jiang Ling'er laughed out loud: "Inspector Yan, it seems that you are scared by the mainland and regard it as a scourge. Don't you read the newspaper now? They are preparing to implement reform and opening up, allowing us Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots to invest in the mainland. Mr. Du means that you and I should go there together to take the lead, and the investment location is not far from Hong Kong, that is Shenzhen, which is only separated from Hong Kong by a river..."

"Uh, what do you mean you're going with me?" Yan Xiong was stunned for a moment when he heard that. He looked at Jiang Ling'er in surprise, and then at Du Yongxiao.

"Ling'er is right. I plan to let you go to the mainland with her. I have high hopes for the mainland. If nothing goes wrong, Shenzhen will be turned upside down in ten years. We can earn a hundred times, even a thousand times, or even ten thousand times the money we invest today!" Du Yongxiao said to Yan Xiong. "Let alone other things, the mainland is in short supply of daily necessities. We can make a lot of money even if we invest in a clothing factory, a shoe factory, or a food factory. If we are bolder, we can invest in electronics factories, steel mills, large science and technology industrial parks, real estate companies, star-rated hotels, nightclubs, dance halls, etc."

Du Yongxiao became more and more excited as he spoke, imagining the broad prospects for Shenzhen's future in his mind. "Besides, there are abundant land resources, sufficient human resources, and cheap labor over there. The government also gives strong support to Hong Kong businessmen like us in terms of policies, such as tax cuts, electricity and water discounts, etc. These are all opportunities!"

Yan Xiong was originally very resistant to developing in the mainland, thinking that it would be like going to a poor place to play in the mud and there was no future. But now, after hearing what Du Yongxiao said, he actually felt warmed up inside and couldn't help but say, "What if we open a foreign bank? Those companies, factories, projects and hotels you mentioned all need money. The mainland is so poor, the banks there probably won't be able to help. If we go there and open a bank first, then not only will we not have to worry about money ourselves, but we can also lend money to other companies. It's a huge profit!" Yan Xiong couldn't help but say.

Du Yongxiao smiled. He certainly knew that investment banks were very profitable, especially since the first foreign bank in Shenzhen opened in 1982, when the Nanyang Commercial Bank Shenzhen Branch was the first foreign bank introduced to China after the founding of the People's Republic of China. On December 1989, 12, the first stock exchange in New China, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, was born.

The reason why Du Yongxiao didn't mention the financial aspect just now was to give Yan Xiong the opportunity to speak. Sure enough, Yan Xiong fell into the trap and spoke eloquently and happily.

clap clap clap!
Du Yongxiao applauded and praised Yan Xiong, saying, "Inspector Yan is indeed extraordinary and has a great business sense. He knows that finance is very profitable. Haha, why didn't I think of that!"

Yan Xiong didn't expect Du Yongxiao to praise him in person, and his tail immediately stood up, his whole body felt as comfortable as if he had received a massage, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and said, "No, no, I have been following you for so long, godfather, and I have learned a little bit. It's not shameful to make money. I must always seize the opportunity, hehe!"

Du Yongxiao touched his chin, thought for a while, nodded and said to Yan Xiong: "You are right, it is not shameful to make money. Since we want to open a factory, a company, an industrial park, a hotel, a nightclub, a dance hall, etc., we need a bank to support it! The investment is huge, I guess it will be at least 1 billion US dollars!"

boom!
Yan Xiong's head exploded.

One billion dollars?

Invest in the Mainland?

Just when Yan Xiong was confused, Du Yongxiao continued, "It's a pity that the money I swept from the Qinglong Society has to be invested in the Golden Triangle, so I have to withdraw it from the group. Well, ten billion is not a small amount. Investing in the mainland will at least have to multiply it tenfold. How much is that? Ten billion? Oh, I don't know who has such great ability to take charge of the mainland in the future and become a billionaire in the mainland!" Du Yongxiao sighed.

Yan Xiong's head was buzzing and exploding continuously.

Jiang Ling'er assisted, "I think Ah Xian is pretty good!"

"Are you talking about Zhuang Dingxian?" Du Yongxiao turned his head and looked at Senior Superintendent Zhuang Dingxian who was standing beside him guarding him.

"Yes, I think Ah Xian is a good guy. He can resign and follow me to the mainland. Then, with 1 billion US dollars, we can take advantage of the policies there and work with the Shenzhen people to build Shenzhen into another Hong Kong!" Jiang Ling'er vowed.

Du Yongxiao smiled and looked at Zhuang Dingxian: "Ah Xian, what do you think?"

Zhuang Dingxian was about to speak--
Yan Xiong interrupted hurriedly, "Godfather, no!"

"Ah, why not?" Du Yongxiao looked at Yan Xiong in surprise.

Yan Xiong stood up and said righteously: "First of all, Ah Xian is now a senior superintendent of the police force. If nothing unexpected happens, he will go to Scotland Yard for training at the end of the year. When he comes back, he will be promoted to superintendent of the NTUC. He has a bright future! If he resigns rashly now, won't it delay his career? Besides, Ah Xian has always done a good job in the police force. Many people and many things need him to make decisions. If he leaves, it will be a loss for the police force and the citizens!"

"Secondly, Ah Xian is still very young and handsome. If he and Miss Jiang are together, it is inevitable that some people will gossip about them. Of course, I absolutely believe in the character of Ah Xian and Miss Jiang, but it is inevitable that other people will have wild thoughts, which will damage your reputation as godfather! In a word, people's words are scary! It is not okay for Ah Xian and Miss Jiang to go to Shenzhen to fight together. We need to think about it carefully!"

"Finally, although Shenzhen is not a dangerous place, it is a place with many human relationships and social customs. It requires a mature and steady person to deal with people. Dealing with people is a very particular matter. It is inevitable that young people are full of youthful energy and cannot handle interpersonal relationships well."

Yan Xiong's words made sense. Du Yongxiao listened carefully and nodded frequently. Even Jiang Ling'er, Jiang Muling, and Zhuang Dingxian had to admit that what Yan Xiong said made sense.

"Then if Ah Xian is not suitable, who can take on the responsibility?" Du Yongxiao asked.

Yan Xiong said righteously: "Although I don't want to go to the mainland for some reasons, but if you need me, godfather, I am willing to obey your orders!" He looked very embarrassed and conflicted.

Du Yongxiao shook his head and said, "Since you call me godfather, I have to be responsible for you! If you don't want to go to the mainland, how can I force you?"

Yan Xiong was anxious: "Not forcing me! Not forcing me at all! I am willing to go!" He was afraid that Du Yongxiao would change his mind and not let him go.

Yan Xiong didn’t want to go before, but now that he heard that he had to take 10 billion US dollars with him, it’s a different story. Wouldn’t he be an emperor when he gets there?

Moreover, in the future, if it really increases tenfold, that would be 10 billion US dollars. If you are in charge of a mainland enterprise, wouldn’t you be a true billionaire?
Hahaha!
Thinking of this, Yan Xiong would wake up laughing even in his dreams. "But--" Du Yongxiao touched his chin, "As you said, the inland areas are very poor, and many people can't even get enough food..."

"So I should go even more!" Yan Xiong patted his chest and said, "Only people like me who have been hungry know how uncomfortable it is to be hungry! I must save my compatriots in Shenzhen, build factories, and start companies so that they can have jobs and income, and eat white rice and steamed buns!"

As he spoke, Yan Xiong straightened his chest and raised his head, gazing into the distance, as if he was communicating with God, "Who made me a loving person? Besides, I am Chinese, I love my compatriots! I love my country even more!"

At this moment, Yan Xiong is almost turning into a saint.

Jiang Ling'er, Jiang Muling and Zhuang Dingxian all had different expressions.

Du Yongxiao thought about it for a while and nodded, "Okay, I promise you!"

Yan Xiong was ecstatic but appeared calm on the surface. He looked at Du Yongxiao and said, "Thank you, godfather. I will try my best!" and waved his fist.

Du Yongxiao smiled: "Very good, drink the soup! The traditional soup should be drunk while it's hot!"

"Thank you, godfather!" Yan Xiong sat down again, picked up the soup spoon and tasted the soup, praising: "Good soup!"

……

After finishing the business, they had a very plain breakfast. Du Yongxiao chatted with Yan Xiong casually about his life in the mainland. After the servants served tea and fruits and drinking tea, Du Yongxiao prepared to leave and go back upstairs to change clothes. Yan Xiong also hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.

Du Yongxiao asked Zhuang Dingxian to send Yan Xiong away.

Zhuang Dingxian sent Yan Xiong to the door. Yan Xiong did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned around, took out a cigarette from his pocket, flicked one out and handed it to Zhuang Dingxian, saying, "I'm sorry, Ah Xian, I blocked your way to wealth this time. Mr. Du originally agreed that you could go to the mainland to make a living, but I stopped you."

Zhuang Dingxian took the cigarette, held it between his lips and said, "It's good that you know. If I go to the mainland with 1 billion US dollars, I will be half a local emperor. It's much better than being a superintendent in Hong Kong!"

Yan Xiong smiled and personally helped Zhuang Dingxian light his cigarette, then patted Zhuang Dingxian on the shoulder and said, "You are still young and have plenty of opportunities. As long as you stay with Mr. Du, you will become rich sooner or later! Don't worry, I am optimistic about you. You will definitely have a better future than me in the future, you are so handsome!"

Zhuang Dingxian also laughed, "To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that Mr. Du had chosen you from the beginning, I would definitely compete with you this time!"

Yan Xiong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he burst into laughter: "I see, this is what they call a bystander sees more clearly than an insider! It seems that my godfather has tricked me again!"

Zhuang Dingxian smiled and said, "Be content. There are very few people in this world who can be schemed by Mr. Du. You can be proud of this!"

Yan Xiong smiled happily: "That's right, I should be happy! By the way, what do you think my godfather will do about the anti-monopoly issue I proposed earlier?"

"You ask me?" Zhuang Dingxian took a puff of cigarette, exhaled, and squinted his eyes and said, "I'm not a worm in Mr. Du's stomach, how should I know?"

"Aren't you a bystander?"

"It's different. This involves Miss Jiang's interests."

"Miss Jiang is going to Shenzhen with me. The business in Bangkok——"

"I heard that it will be handed over to Jiang Muling to take care of it."

"Ah?" Yan Xiong was stunned. "That would be terrible."

"Why?"

"Jiang Muling, that androgynous guy, is mentally twisted. If things go wrong, things might get worse. Those Chinese businessmen will have no way out!" Yan Xiong sighed.

"You can't say that," Zhuang Dingxian said, holding a cigarette, "I've observed Jiang Muling recently. He's different from before, and he's not as perverted as you said. On the contrary, he's very loving and likes playing with little Tangyuan the most!"

Yan Xiong rolled his eyes, "This is what's so scary about him, hypocrisy! Acting pitiful and using little glutinous rice balls as a shield!"

Zhuang Dingxian said unhappily, "Don't think so badly of people, okay? Not everyone is like you, calculating everything!"

Yan Xiong curled his lips and said, "Just wait and see. If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences!" After saying that, he walked towards his car.

Zhuang Dingxian followed up with a reply: "Everything is decided by Mr. Du. No matter what you say, it will be useless!"

"Then tell me, how should I respond to those Chinese businessmen now? Tell them whether this place still has a monopoly or not?" Yan Xiong turned around and got into his BMW, and said to Zhuang Dingxian through the car door.

Zhuang Dingxian smiled, holding a cigarette between his teeth, and said, "You're about to become a billionaire in the future, and you're still worrying about these things?"

"I've said it before, I'm very negotiating, and I feel bad seeing them suffer!"

"Then you can take them to invest in the mainland. They should understand that a tree that doesn't move will die, but a person who moves will live!"

"Well, that makes sense!" Yan Xiong nodded, "Then I will form a group and call it the Love Investment Group!"
