Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1072 1058 [Getting the Best of Both Worlds]

Du Yongxiao took a deep look at Quan Guangdou who invited him and smiled slightly: "Why not?"

Quan Guangdou didn't expect Du Yongxiao to be so easy to talk to. He laughed out loud and turned to the embarrassed Li Mengxi and said, "Well, I'm sorry, President Li, I have something to talk to Mr. Du about. Do you want to step aside?"

Li Mengxi said angrily: "Damn it, this place is mine--"

Before he finished speaking, Du Yongxiao said, "President Li, thank you for your help. We are friends, aren't we?" Then he gave Li Mengxi a look.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

Li Mengxi hated the arrogant General Quan, but he could do nothing about it, so he said to the woman beside him, "Let's go to another room!"

He left in anger, leaving Du Yongxiao and Quan Guangdou to take over his place.

Seeing Li Mengxi leave, Du Yongxiao said to Quan Guangdou: "Why bother? You and I can go to another room."

Quan Guangdou sat down without looking down on him. He directly picked up the wine glass that Li Mengxi had used, poured a glass of wine, and drank it down in one gulp, saying, "I just don't like him. Damn it, if he wasn't lucky enough to have a good father, how could he have the qualifications to talk to me? Why would I come to him with such a flattering face to discuss important matters? Unfortunately, he is a hopeless person, there is no hope for him!"

Du Yongxiao smiled, turned around and signaled Zhuang Dingxian to leave, and closed the door.

When only he and Quan Guangdou were left in the room, Du Yongxiao smiled and sat back in his original seat. "You wanted to help him?"

"Yes!" Quan Guangdou ate apple slices and mumbled, "Helping him is helping me. He has money and I have power. I need him to help me! Just like I'm looking for you now--"

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "Is it also for money?"

"Yes!" Quan Guangdou said directly, "You are rich, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to control the Samsung Group. I heard that you also acquired the Korea Bank, which is even more amazing. You are the God of Wealth. Although you are an outsider, I still want to pay my respects to you!"

Looking at Quan Guangdou's bachelor appearance, Du Yongxiao couldn't help but like this Gwangju butcher. He was a great hero and was indeed different from others.

"Although I have money, not everyone can borrow it. There must be collateral." Du Yongxiao looked at Quan Guangdou meaningfully.

Quan Guangdou spat out the apple seeds in his mouth, leaned back, put on a carefree attitude, and looked at Du Yongxiao with a smile: "So what do you want?"

Du Yongxiao shrugged: "What can you give me?"

Quan Guangdou's eyes rolled around and he spread his hands: "I don't know, I'm just the head of the security department now. If you think about it carefully, I really can't help you with anything!"

Du Yongxiao picked up the red wine and shook it: "That means you can't give me anything, but you want me to pay?"

Quan Guangdou was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "That's it!"

"What's the reason?"

"The reason is," Quan Guangdou leaned forward and looked at Du Yongxiao with serious eyes, "I believe I will be successful in the future, at least my position will be higher than now. When the time comes, I will pay you back double what you want!"

Looking at the ambitious Jeon Kwang-doo, Du Yong-xiao finally understood why this man could "overthrow his superiors" and ascend to the throne of the Supreme Leader, ruling South Korea for more than ten years and becoming one of the most powerful dictators in South Korean history.

"What about time? Even if I believe you will succeed, how long will it take you to achieve the so-called success?" Du Yongxiao looked at Quan Guangdou with a smile and said in a joking tone.

This time it was Quan Guangdou's turn to shrug, "I don't know!" He pointed to the top of his head, "I don't know what blessing this guy has given me to make me so powerful!"

"Is it to be powerful or to rule the world?"

"Rule the world?" Quan Guangdou's eyes flashed with a hint of fear. This was a secret hidden deep in his heart. Even his wife who slept with him didn't know that he had such ambition. How could Du Yongxiao know?
Quan Guangdou trembled inwardly, and hurriedly calmed his mind. With a cynical smile on his face, he looked at Du Yongxiao and said, "Mr. Du, you think too highly of me. I don't dare to be the king of the world! If this is heard by the Blue House, how can I survive?"

Du Yongxiao did not answer, but looked at Quan Guangdou quietly.

Quan Guangdou felt a little uneasy.

He was very surprised, how could this happen?
He was always bold and daring, and only felt this kind of trepidation when facing the great leader Park Chung-hee. But now——
Quan Guangdou tried hard to stay calm and looked Du Yongxiao in the eye.

The more they looked at each other, the more he felt that Du Yongxiao seemed to be able to see through everything about him, including all the conspiracies in his mind!
This feeling even made Quan Guangdou feel that the other person was not a human.

In fact, Du Yongxiao is indeed a monster.

He knew everything about the young general in front of him!
To be more clear, it is now December 1978, and by next year, October 12, the whole of South Korea will change!
President Park Chung-hee was assassinated!

All the young players defeated the strong!
Launch Seoul Spring!

Move into the Blue House in one fell swoop!

Du Yongxiao looked at Quan Guangdou, whose eyes had become somewhat unnatural, and smiled as he retracted his sharp gaze.

He quickly calculated in his mind how to make use of this unique trump card!

If you can control all the young players in front of you, it means you can control the future of the Republic of Korea!
He Du Yongxiao,

He will be the emperor of the entire South Korea!
Thousands of thoughts run through my mind.

Du Yongxiao plans to take a long-term view.

The more exciting things are, the more you can't be impatient. Just like the person in front of me, he wants to ask me for money. If I give him money, it may be like throwing meat buns at a dog.

So Du Yongxiao decided to treat the money as meat buns, but put an iron chain around the dog's neck.

"General Quan is really good at joking. To be honest, I admire you very much and would be happy to lend you hundreds of billions. But after all, we just met and our feelings are not deep enough, so... I'm sorry!" Du Yongxiao declined politely.

Quan Guangdou seemed to have guessed this result long ago, and was already somewhat disheartened. However, when he heard Du Yongxiao say that their relationship was simply not deep, otherwise he could have loaned him tens of billions, his wolf eyes immediately lit up.

"Haha, as expected! I knew I was right about him. Mr. Du is indeed a good friend who can do great things and dares to take risks! So from today on, we officially know each other!" Quan Guangdou stood up and stretched out his tiger paw towards Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao shook hands with him again and felt the other's palm was broad and full of calluses.

"I will show my friendship to you with the greatest sincerity, believe me! As long as it is in Korea, I will never refuse to help you with anything I can do!"

Quan Guangdou was filled with great enthusiasm and shook Du Yongxiao's hand tightly. He decided in his heart to take down this Hong Kong tycoon and make him the financial backer of his political career.

Du Yongxiao also looked at the other party with a smile, and made up his mind that he must make good use of this opportunity and use the hero in front of him to become the boss behind the scenes in South Korea. The two of them had their own calculations, looked at each other, and laughed.

……

Three days later-
Du Yongxiao was able to get along well with both sides at Samsung. On the one hand, he had close contacts with the newly made eldest son Li Mengxi, and on the other hand, he was chatting and laughing with his old friend Li Jianxi, the third son.

The second son, Li Changxi, was no fool. He soon got wind of the situation and learned that his eldest brother and third brother were trying to curry favor with Du Yongxiao.

After receiving the news, Li Changxi immediately found his father Li Bingzhe and filed a complaint with the emperor.

Lee Byung-chul, the head of Samsung, was wearing a traditional Korean robe and writing with a brush in his study. Seeing his second son's panic, he couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that it would be difficult to achieve great things!

"Do you really think I know nothing?" Lee Byung-chul scolded his son.

"Even you know that the eldest and third brother have close contact with Du Yongxiao, don't I know?"

"No, father, I was just worried that you were busy with work and didn't notice it!" Only then did Li Changxi realize that he had done something wrong. Given his father's cunning character, how could he not have heard anything?
"So, you and your elder brother are both useless!" Li Bingzhe picked up his brush again and wrote a big "忍" on the snow-white rice paper. He looked up and asked his son, "Do you know this word?"

Li Changxi took a closer look and answered cautiously: "Father, you made us learn Chinese since we were young. You said that only by understanding Chinese and reading Chinese characters can we understand our Korean history and become a true upper class and an aristocratic existence!"

Li Bingzhe nodded, "You know this! Chinese characters are very important. They are the biggest class difference between the nobles and the poor! Those who abolished Chinese characters before were all people with ulterior motives. They wanted to make Korea enter the class classification again, and those of us who know Chinese characters will always stand at the top, rule them, and enslave them! Do you understand?"

"I understand, father! So I will study Chinese seriously!"

"Now, can you explain to me what this word means?"

"It means that there is a knife in your heart. To be patient, you must be able to endure all kinds of pain!" Li Changxi answered seriously.

Li Bingzhe nodded, "That's right. Now Du Yongxiao is deliberately provoking me, thinking that my two sons are dependent on him, thinking that he has my lifeline in his hands. Just wait and see, once I raise funds, everything will be solved!"

"But father--" Li Changxi hesitated and said, "Can we borrow money?"

Li Bingzhe smiled, dropped his brush, put his hands behind his back and said, "It's almost done!"

Yes, it is indeed fast.

Since he visited the Blue House, President Park Chung-hee promised him that he would help him with loans because he absolutely could not bear to see Korean companies like Samsung Electronics fall into the hands of foreigners, especially the Chinese!

If my guess is right, there will be results this week.

Because he and the commander-in-chief are both Koreans, and Du Yongxiao, a Chinese, is their common enemy.

……

Du Yongxiao also deliberately concealed the news of his relationship with Samsung's eldest son Li Mengxi.

The news soon reached the third son, Li Jianxi.

Li Jianxi felt very unhappy and thought Du Yongxiao was playing a trick on him, but he did not show it. Instead, he became more enthusiastic and proactive in inviting Du Yongxiao to a private banquet in the small restaurant in his mansion.

Looking at the magnificent restaurant, Du Yongxiao exclaimed: "I didn't expect that you, Li Shehui, have such a great place!"

Li Jianxi laughed: "To be honest, even my father doesn't know about this place. Eating at home is too depressing. I like coming here the most and eating whatever I want. Occasionally, when an important friend comes, I will invite him to come and taste the food cooked by the chef here."

Li Jianxi wore a dark blue suit, stood straight, and looked energetic and heroic.

Seeing Du Yongxiao sizing up his attire, Li Jianxi smiled and said, "Although this is a private invitation, I still think it's better to be more formal, so that it shows respect!"

Du Yongxiao smiled and nodded.

The table is full of Korean specialties, with fragrant food and mellow wine.

Picking up the wine glass and clinking it with Li Jianxi, Du Yongxiao smiled and said, "In fact, I have tasted a lot of Korean specialties recently. For example, your elder brother once invited me to the famous Mansu Pavilion in Korea to taste the royal chef's skills. It is said that the royal chef used to cook for your King of Korea!"

Seeing Du Yongxiao admitting that he had contacts with his elder brother Li Mengxi, Li Jianxi said calmly, "It seems that Mr. Du really has a wide circle of friends!"

Du Yongxiao smiled and said, "You're not angry?"

Li Jianxi laughed and said, "Why should I be angry? Mr. Du, you are a businessman, you must consider everything you do!"

Du Yongxiao played with his wine glass and sighed, "Long live understanding! I was really worried that you would have something to worry about. After all, we are friends!"

Hearing Du Yongxiao mention the word "friend", Li Jianxi's face gradually became serious: "Since you said we are friends, when can you give me the money?"

Du Yongxiao looked at him and said, "30 billion? Seriously, if I give it to you, do you dare to ask for it now?"

Seeing that Li Jianxi didn't say anything, Du Yongxiao continued, "Everyone knows that your father hates me and doesn't want me to get close to Samsung. If I lend you money, will it backfire and make him hate you too? What's more, it is said that your father went to the Blue House and had a good chat with President Park Chung-hee. Maybe he has already agreed on the loan. If I lend you money, wouldn't that be undermining him? You are now the heir to the Samsung Group. If you make a mistake in this matter, you may become a deposed prince like your eldest brother! President Li, what do you think I should do now?"

Li Jianxi remained silent, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

A moment——
"Then just do me a favor!" Li Jianxi suddenly said, looking up at Du Yongxiao with burning eyes.

"What's the deal?"

"Lend the money to my eldest brother!" Li Jianxi's eyes flashed with evil. "According to what you said, he will be overjoyed and will ruin my father's plan!"

"Are you so sure?" Du Yongxiao frowned.

"Yes, I'm sure! Because he has been a brainless guy since he was a child!" Li Jianxi said with disdain, "Otherwise, the position of Samsung heir would not have come to me!"

Du Yongxiao nodded, "Yes, your father is a very traditional person. According to him, even if the family is hereditary, there must be order of seniority. He was able to abandon your elder brother and choose you, which shows how stupid your elder brother is!"

Li Jianxi: "So are you willing to help me?"

Du Yongxiao smiled and raised his glass: "Why not?"
