Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1060 1046 [Arsonist of the Heart]

"What? You're afraid of riding a horse?"

At the shooting site, the bearded director yelled at the male lead, "Oh my God, you are playing Lee Bang Won, Lee Bang Won, he is the king of horses, and you can't even ride a horse?"

"Ahem, no, director, it's not that I can't ride a horse, it's that I'm afraid of riding a horse!" The male protagonist is a handsome Korean boy. He hurriedly explained: "When I was a child, I was riding a horse in the playground and fell off the horse's back. Then I was left with sequelae. I'm afraid of horses!"

"Shiba, are you kidding me?" the bearded director said angrily, almost throwing the script at the male lead's feet. "I know you are afraid of horses, so I prepared a mule for you! This is a mule, and you are afraid of it too?"

The male protagonist took one look at the mule still throwing its hooves in the snow, turned to the director and said, "But this mule looks too much like a horse!"

"Fuck your mother!" The director was almost mad, pointing at the male lead: "Don't think I can't shoot this play without you!"

"Yes, yes, you can find someone to be my stand-in. Well, after all, we are shooting a long shot of riding a horse, so anyone will do." The male protagonist hurriedly gave the director advice with a smile.

The bearded director kicked the other person's calf, causing the male protagonist to hold his leg and scream.

"Fuck it, do I need you to teach me?" The bearded director was furious and started looking around for someone who could replace the male protagonist.

This stand-in must have a strong aura, be handsome, and most importantly, be able to ride a horse-——
Then--
The bearded director shook his head vigorously. Why are there so many ugly people around him today? Not even a single handsome one.

suddenly--
Everyone looked behind the director, especially the women on the set, who covered their mouths with infatuated looks and stared with eyes wide open in surprise.

"What's going on? Is this a ghost?" The bearded director turned around.

Behind him, Du Yongxiao, who had changed into the costume of the Korean king, just walked out of the locker room.

In the snow--
He is like a king dominating the world. His temperament and aura are unique, making people feel as if he has traveled through time from ancient times. He is so real.

"Oh my God, am I seeing things? Is he an ancient person or a modern person?" A girl said in surprise, covering her mouth.

"I must be dazzled! Otherwise, how could there be such a heroic man in the world?" The other woman rubbed her eyes vigorously.

"Is this a real person? Why does he look so good in ancient costume? He looks just like our King Taizong!" said a man.

From the moment Du Yongxiao appeared, there was a commotion at the scene.

In the world, only Du Yongxiao and the falling snow were left, and they had no idea what was happening here.

The bearded director stared at Du Yongxiao, who was dressed in ancient costume.

He shook his head to make sure he was not dazzled or dreaming, and immediately ran towards Du Yongxiao regardless of everything, saying, "Friend, please stay!"

After changing his clothes, Du Yongxiao was planning to meet up with Li Jianxi, Jiang Ling'er and the others to take a few photos for the occasion. Unexpectedly, someone called him from behind. When he turned around, he saw that it was the bearded director who was filming just now.

"Are you calling me?" Du Yongxiao put his hands behind his back and looked at the bearded man curiously.

The bearded man walked forward without saying anything, but circled around Du Yongxiao a few times, clicking his tongue and saying, "Resemblance! Too much resemblance! Even more heroic than our Joseon King Taejong!"

Du Yongxiao frowned, feeling that the bearded man was sick.

"My friend, do you want to act in a movie? Do you want to be a star? I see that you are very pretty, handsome, and have a good figure... wow, you are just the material for being a big star! If you are willing, I can give you a chance and make you a big star. How about it? Are you excited? Are you excited?"

Du Yongxiao looked at the bearded director who had a proud look on his face, as if to say I have high hopes for you and can make you a star. Du Yongxiao was sure that the director was really sick.

Would someone of my status become a star? It's too late to be low-key!

"Sorry, I refuse!"

"Ah?" The bearded director almost fell down, "You refuse?" He suspected he had heard it wrong.

You know, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I am the famous Korean director Kim Dong-chul, who has won the Blue Dragon Award, the biggest award in Korea. Any actor he chooses, regardless of gender, can be promoted to the best actor or actress.

Usually many actors try to curry favor with him, hoping that he can give them opportunities. Ordinary people even worship him so much that they treat him like a god.

"Did I hear you right, friend? Do you know who I am? I am Kim Dong-chul, Kim Dong-chul!"

“Who is Kim Dong-chul?”

Du Yongxiao's words almost choked the bearded director to death.

"You don't even recognize me?" Pointing at his nose.

"Why should I know you?" Du Yongxiao asked.

Bearded director Kim Dong-chul was speechless.

When Kim Dong-chul came to his senses and was about to get angry, Li Jianxi and his men came over.

However, Jin Dongzhe knew Li Jianxi.

The Samsung chaebol family is famous in South Korea and often likes to support the development of Korean films. Several of Kim Dong-chul's films were invested by Samsung.

It can be said that the Lee family of Samsung Group is Kim Dong-chul's great benefactor and also the object of Kim Dong-chul's flattery.

As soon as he saw Li Jianxi, Jin Dongzhe's eyes lit up. He thought, "Why is President Li here? Why is he walking over here? Oh, he must have seen me. Oh my God, I'm so honored!"
Jin Dongzhe was so happy that he immediately walked over and said, "Mr. President, it's nice to meet you!"

I imagined myself shaking hands cordially with Li Jianxi, and everyone around me witnessed the scene with their own eyes. Maybe it would even be in the newspaper tomorrow.

Li Jianxi walked towards him with a smile.

Just as Jin Dongzhe stretched out his hand to shake hands——
Li Jianxi didn't even look at him, brushed past him, and said to Du Yongxiao: "Mr. Du, it's very good! This suit suits you very well!"

Jin Dongzhe was still standing there awkwardly, he didn't understand why Li Jianxi ignored him. It wasn't until he heard a voice from behind that he turned around and saw Li Jianxi talking enthusiastically with the handsome young man just now, and he looked very familiar with him.

"Uh, how could this happen?" Jin Dongzhe could hardly believe his eyes.

Others around him were also surprised because someone at the scene had already recognized the Samsung Group's prince, Lee Jianxi.

The Li father and son are frequent guests in newspapers and on television, so it's hard not to know them.

But what surprised them more was the relationship between Li Jianxi and Du Yongxiao.

Why is Li Jianxi so enthusiastic about him?
Even a little bit of a compliment?
Who is this young man?
"I just tried it on and it's OK!" Du Yongxiao said with a smile, "Let's go take some photos, it can also be considered as checking in."

"Uh, punch in?" Li Jianxi was still wondering what "punch in" meant. At this time, Jin Dongzhe came over with a smile and said flatteringly, "Is this President Li? I'm Dongzhe, Dongzhe. I'm very grateful to you for investing in my movie "Shadow Warrior" last time!"

Li Jianxi was originally having a good conversation with Du Yongxiao, but was suddenly interrupted. He felt a little unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face. He just glanced at Jin Dongzhe coldly and said, "It turned out to be Director Jin. I saw you were filming just now, so I didn't interrupt you."

"Really? So, President Li, you saw me? I'm so honored!" Jin Dongzhe said with a drooling face and a flattering look.

Li Jianxi was busy talking to Du Yongxiao. Seeing that Jin Dongzhe was still refusing to leave and was still grumbling, he said coldly, "Director Jin, do you have anything else to say?"

Jin Dongzhe had no idea that the other party was already annoyed, and he said self-righteously: "Oh, it's like this, I recently received a very good script about the Imjin War. I know that you, President Li, have always been very interested in movies. I wonder if you have time to sit down and I can tell you the story?"

"Time? I don't have time." Li Jianxi interrupted Jin Dongzhe, "Can't you see I'm talking to a distinguished guest?"

Jin Dongzhe then looked at Du Yongxiao again and asked Li Jianxi: "Who is this——"

"He is Mr. Du from Hong Kong...Why am I telling you this?" Li Jianxi became impatient.

Only then did Jin Dongzhe realize that something was wrong. President Li seemed to hate him very much.

Also, who is this Mr. Du? Why does President Li think so highly of him?

Jin Dongzhe was full of curiosity, but he also knew that now was not the time to ask too many questions. Besides, Li Jianxi was not someone he could question. He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Then I won't bother you anymore! I'm sorry, Mr. Du, I offended you just now!" Jin Dongzhe was also a smart man. When he saw that Du Yongxiao was not an ordinary person, he quickly apologized for what happened just now.

"It's okay." Du Yongxiao said lightly.

"Then I won't disturb you two!" Jin Dongzhe bowed hurriedly and left.

Li Jianxi frowned and asked Du Yongxiao: "Did this guy do anything rude to you?"

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "Nothing, he just wanted to make me a star, but I rejected him, so he got angry out of shame--"

"How dare he!" Li Jianxi was furious, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, "I think Jin Dongzhe doesn't want to be in the film and television industry anymore!"

Du Yongxiao shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this. Let's take pictures quickly. It's a bit cold! To be honest, I hate the weather in Seoul."

……

Just as Du Yongxiao expected, the real activities of this trip to Korea began after the visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace.

At the invitation of Li Jianxi, Du Yongxiao's first stop was to inspect Li Jianxi's personal base, Samsung Chemical.

Samsung Chemical is a large enterprise that Lee Byung-chul personally handed over to his son Lee Kun-hee to manage. Its status is second only to Samsung Electronics, Samsung Real Estate and other companies.

Li Jianxi took the initiative to invite Du Yongxiao to inspect the company he managed. The purpose was very simple, which was to let Du Yongxiao see his management and leadership abilities. In this way, when he showed his personal charm, he could better negotiate with Du Yongxiao and let Du Yongxiao take out money to save Samsung Electronics.

In this way, accompanied by Li Jianxi and senior executives of Samsung Chemical, Du Yongxiao, Jiang Ling'er, Yan Xiong, Zhuang Dingxian and others visited the Samsung Chemical headquarters near the Han River.

At the company headquarters, Du Yongxiao and others were warmly welcomed by senior leaders such as Li Jianxi.

At the symposium held by Samsung Chemical to welcome Du Yongxiao, Du Yongxiao had in-depth exchanges with President Li Jianxi and other senior leaders.

Du Yongxiao introduced the history, development and future plans of the Du Group, as well as its advantages in overseas investment.

Du Yongxiao told Li Jianxi and others that the Du Group is now huge. In addition to its pillar industries Phoenix Pharmaceutical and Hengchuang Real Estate, it has also acquired the Hollywood film company Fox-Paramount, established PolyGram Records, Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Company, and so on.

In recent years, in addition to continuing to diversify its development, the Du Group has always taken not going public as its business motto. Especially after the Hengchuang Real Estate crisis, Du Yongxiao and the Du Group's top management agreed that "the stock marketization of the company will lead to a lending crisis, which in turn will lead to a break in the capital chain, and ultimately lead to a stock market crash."

Du Yongxiao expressed the hope that Samsung Chemical could learn from the Du Group's lessons and take protective measures in handling financial loans.

In fact, what Du Yongxiao said were all "old sayings" from his previous life, but when they are brought out now, they are "real insights."

Especially Li Jianxi and others were not weaklings. At first, they didn't care much about Du Yongxiao's speech and just thought it was a formality.

But no one expected that Du Yongxiao's words would be so "informative" and insightful. They shocked everyone and made them feel that they had gained a lot.

For a time, no one dared to underestimate this young man who had founded a huge business empire at a young age. They began to listen to Du Yongxiao's lectures very seriously.

To be honest, Du Yongxiao was not very enthusiastic about teaching these people and giving them guidance. He even felt bored. However, Du Yongxiao also knew that he wanted to take over Samsung in the future. In this case, he would first train these people and win them over, which could be regarded as establishing a "teacher-student relationship."

Seeing the smile on Li Jianxi's face, Du Yongxiao also smiled and chatted with him. This extremely cold and shrewd business tycoon could never have imagined that Du Yongxiao was secretly setting a trap for him and preparing to dig into the Li family.

Beside the grand oval hollow conference table, Du Yongxiao, representing the Hong Kong Du Group, and Li Jianxi, representing the Hong Kong Du Group, sat opposite each other. Both sides had a pleasant conversation and the atmosphere was quite warm.

When the beautiful female staff members at Samsung Chemical's headquarters have free time, most of them secretly look at the young leader from Hong Kong's Du Group.

"Is it him?"

"Oh my god, so handsome!"

“What a powerful aura!”

"Woo woo, I'm fascinated by him, what should I do?"

The female employees screamed.

The company had long been buzzing with rumors that the Hong Kong representative who was visiting this time was a well-known Hong Kong tycoon, an international tycoon who had founded a huge business empire at a young age. It was said that in addition to being a business prodigy, he was also the first Chinese police commissioner in Hong Kong and a first-class earl of the British Empire.
By the way, this young man is also the youngest billionaire in the United States, and is a close friend of the American tycoon Rockefeller!
The news spread quickly, and soon the entire Samsung Chemical was swept by a storm of admiration.

Du Yongxiao!
This super handsome young man from Hong Kong completely captured the hearts of these female employees in the company!
His appearance crushed all those Korean male stars, Korean business tycoons, and political figures under his feet, making him a veritable "arsonist of hearts"!
