Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1084 1070 [Butterfly Effect]

Du Yongxiao looked at the female boss in surprise. Just as he was about to refuse, a voice said, "Then can I come too?"

wipe!
Are there any groups for this kind of thing?
Du Yongxiao turned his head and saw a man with glasses, about 37 or 38 years old. He was very thin and wore glasses. He exuded a strong Japanese vibe, but his accent was obviously Korean.

The female boss curled her lips in dissatisfaction. She had thought Du Yongxiao was handsome and tried to seduce him, but she didn't expect to hook up with a man with glasses.

"Okay, you three, follow me!" The female boss led them to the inner room without caring whether Du Yongxiao was willing or not.

Du Yongxiao wanted to refuse, but when he saw the man with glasses, he suddenly seemed to remember something. The other person looked so familiar, just like the same person.

In order to verify his guess, Du Yongxiao told Jiang Ling'er that he would be back soon.

Jiang Ling'er was looking through those videotapes. She had no idea that this kind of video rental store had a secret space where some secret videos were hidden. She nodded and said, "I'll wait for you here!"

Du Yongxiao nodded and looked around. Many men were pretending to watch the videotape, but many were secretly looking at Jiang Ling'er. There was nothing he could do about it, since Jiang Ling'er was so beautiful and sexy.

Du Yongxiao was not jealous at all, but instead felt a sense of honor.

The female boss led the three people into the inner room. Du Yongxiao followed behind them and smelled the strong scent of perfume emanating from the female boss.

This perfume is not cheap, on the contrary it is a famous brand. It seems that the female boss often dresses up.

Du Yongxiao observed the wretched man and the man with glasses.

The wretched man followed the proprietress closely, staring at her big butt and sniffing at the scent of perfume.

The man with glasses, on the other hand, had a serious look on his face. He didn't look like he was doing anything dirty, but rather like he was participating in some international competition.

The room inside is not too big, but it is very clean. It seems like the place where the female boss rests.

After entering, the female boss skillfully opened the cabinet and took out a stack of colorful American life films.

The cover of the videotape is very sexy and makes people's blood boil.

The wretched man couldn't wait to go forward and look through the videotapes.

At that time, the pornographic culture in Japan had not yet risen, and "Aji from the Laundromat" had not yet swept Japan. Many Japanese people did not know how profitable this kind of small photography was, because the ones circulated were basically European and American series.

The man with glasses looked at the videotapes and frowned, "That's not what I want to see."

The female boss was already unhappy with him, so she asked, "Look at these, which ones do you want to see?"

The man with glasses: "You mean American lifestyle movies? I want to watch those lifestyle movies with American cars."

The female boss was stunned for a moment, then she chuckled: "So you like watching the kind of sex in the car, take your time, get used to the normal ones first, and I'll give you some exciting ones when I have time!"

"No, you don't understand what I mean!" The man with glasses explained, "I want to study American cars. I have basically watched all the American movies that have been released, so I want to find a video tape to watch!"

When these words were spoken, not only the female boss was stunned, but even Du Yongxiao was stunned, looking at the man with glasses in surprise.

The man with glasses looked serious and didn't seem to be lying.

The wretched man who was flipping through the videotapes sneered, "Hey, what on earth do you do? You come here to look for American movies? And the kind with cars--"

The man with glasses opened his mouth to explain, but finally spread his hands and said, "Forget it, you guys continue!" Then he turned and left.

The female boss didn't care about all this and was about to ask Du Yongxiao to watch it together.

Du Yongxiao turned around and caught up with the man with glasses and said, "My friend, please stay!"

"What's the matter?" The man with glasses turned around, adjusted his glasses, and looked at Du Yongxiao warily.

"Oh, well, we might as well talk about some of this outside." Du Yongxiao made an inviting gesture.

The man with glasses looked at Du Yongxiao seriously, and felt that he didn't look like a bad person, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Du Yongxiao invited Jiang Ling'er to go with him and found a coffee shop nearby.

Because there are US troops stationed in South Korea, coffee shops are very popular.

In addition, Asians in this era generally worship foreign things, especially Koreans who are controlled by the US military. The worship of the strong has caused them to change their lifestyles. Many Koreans have also begun to like drinking coffee and eating bread, and coffee takeout is even more popular in this era.

It was warm inside the café.

The boss is very good at business and knew to install heaters so as to attract more customers in the cold winter.

Du Yongxiao took off his heavy coat and Jiang Ling'er held it for him.

The man with glasses looked at Du Yongxiao with envy. Anyone who has a beauty like Jiang Ling'er by his side would be extremely envious.

The men who were drinking coffee nearby couldn't help but glance over here, their eyes full of fascination with Jiang Ling'er's beauty.

"Now my surname is Du, Du Yongxiao! From Hong Kong!" Du Yongxiao took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the man with glasses with a smile.

The man with glasses didn't care at first, but after taking Du Yongxiao's business card and taking a look at it, his face suddenly changed. He looked at the business card, then at Du Yongxiao, as if he was confirming something.

Du Yongxiao looked at the other party and said, "If I guess correctly, you should be a senior executive of Hyundai Group, right?"

The man with glasses was surprised: "Do you know me?"

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "You should know that I have been very close to Hyundai Group recently--"

Du Yongxiao just said this and didn't say anything else.

The man with glasses looked at Du Yongxiao with a complicated expression, carefully put the business card into his arms, picked up the coffee and took a sip, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he put down his coffee and looked up at Du Yongxiao: "Mr. Du, I'm very happy to meet you. Yes, I work for Hyundai Group, my name is Li Mingbai!"

Du Yongxiao felt confident as he looked at the future leader of South Korea, an executive of Hyundai Group.

There used to be a saying in Dongda, "If you want to follow someone, follow Jeon Doo-gwang; if you want to recruit someone, look for Lee Myung-pak; if you want to make friends, look for Moon Jae-in; if you want to marry someone, marry Yoon Seok-yeol!"

To put it more bluntly, following General Jeon can bring you good food and good drinks. If you follow him in a rebellion and succeed, he will share his money with you. Even the centrists will receive a full year's monthly salary. He extorted 1 billion from the chaebols, 800 million to Park Chung-hee's family, 100 million to his subordinates, and only kept 100 million for himself.

It can be said that Quan Douguan is definitely a good brother like the heroes of Liangshan.

Not to mention General Wen, his story with the old man who jumped into the sea is almost becoming a legend. The two of them were so loyal and affectionate that a book could be written about them.

There is also the somewhat brainless General Yoon, who launched a doomed military operation for his wife and became an international laughing stock, but his love for his wife was earth-shattering. As for the General Lee in front of us, who was rated as "eagle-eyed and wolf-like", his road to fame is even more legendary, because he is the most famous "working emperor" in South Korea so far.

Lee Ming-pai was born in Osaka, Japan in 1941. In 1945, Japan declared unconditional surrender and the Korean Peninsula was liberated. Lee Ming-pai returned to his homeland with his parents. His father worked on a ranch and his mother started a fruit business, but poverty followed him all the time. At that time, Lee Ming-pai, the fifth child, almost gave up high school admission in order to support his second brother who was admitted to the Seoul University Business School. At that time, Lee Ming-pai met a mentor. In order to realize his dream of continuing to go to school, he promised his mother that he would "not ask for a penny of tuition from his family" and got his mother's permission. He barely paid the tuition with the money he earned from garbage collection every morning, and finally entered the "Dongye Commercial High School" night school with the first place and ranked first for three consecutive years, and obtained a high school diploma.

After graduating from high school, Lee Mingbai continued to earn tuition fees by picking up waste and studied hard. He used reference books bought cheaply at a used bookstore in Cheonggyecheon, Seoul, to review and was admitted to the College of Business at Korea University. In his third year of college, he was elected president of the College of Business Student Union. He was arrested by the authorities for initiating a student movement to oppose the unequal "Korea-Japan Friendship Agreement" and served six months in Seoul's Seodaemun Prison.

After graduating from university in 1965, Lee Myung-baek was rejected by many companies because of his "criminal record". Lee Myung-baek wrote a letter to then-President Park Chung-hee to protest the government's unreasonable employment policy. After many twists and turns, he joined the small and medium-sized enterprise "Hyundai Construction Company". His innate diligence and courage to ask questions made him promoted to team leader within two years of joining the company, and promoted to director at the age of 29. In 1977, Lee Myung-baek was promoted to president of the company at the age of 36.

Since then, over the past 20 years, he has served as the leader of 10 subsidiaries of Hyundai Group.

As his career flourished, he also accumulated a lot of personal property, which, according to the current market value of assets, exceeded 330 billion won (about 2.7 million yuan), making him the richest "entrepreneur".

Lee Ming-pao's brilliant experience made him a legend in the Korean business community. He was hailed as the "myth of the salaryman" and a veritable "working emperor."

Later, Lee Myung-baek entered politics in 1992 and slowly began to advance towards the throne of the Blue House. After 2000, he defeated his opponents and ascended the throne, becoming one of the few presidents in South Korea who came from a humble background.

"Excuse me, but may I ask what position Mr. Li holds in Hyundai Group now?" Du Yongxiao asked curiously.

Li Mingbai was stunned for a moment, his expression a little unnatural, "Ahem, well, I just resigned now."

"Huh?" Du Yongxiao was stunned and looked at Li Mingbai intriguingly, "How could this happen?"

My impression is that Commander Li has a very comfortable life in Hyundai Group, and he even holds the position of president, which paves the way for his future career in politics.

"Because of some reasons, um..." Li Mingbai picked up the coffee with a concealed look.

Du Yongxiao suddenly seemed to remember something, "Could it be because of Master Zheng Tai?"

Li Mingbai was stunned and looked at Du Yongxiao: "How did you know?"

Du Yongxiao smiled.

It turns out it really is the butterfly effect.

If I had not come to South Korea, had not met Mr. Zheng, and had not forced Chung Ju-yung to agree to build a car production line in South Korea, perhaps the person in front of me would still be living a very comfortable life.

Unfortunately, the arrival of Du Yongxiao broke the original historical trajectory.

Because Zheng Tai made a big mistake, his original company was taken back by Hyundai Group.

But the third young master's surname is Zheng after all, and he is a descendant of Zheng Zhouyong, so he must be given a new position.

Looking at the entire Hyundai Group, the only position suitable for him is Li Mingbai's position.

As a result, Li Mingbai, who had just taken the position of president, was ousted and replaced by Zheng Tai.

This was unbearable for the proud Li Mingbai. He had served the Hyundai Group for so many years, but he could be replaced at any time, and the person replacing him was a useless playboy.

So Li Mingbai resigned in anger, trying to save some face.

But Chung Ju-yung, who was so angry, would never consider the "feelings" of a subordinate and approved it directly!

In Chung Ju-yung's view, Lee Myung-pak is a talented person, but he is too aggressive. This kind of person needs to be taught a lesson, and this time is the opportunity.

Li Mingbai was very smart and understood that he had become a test subject and the other party was waiting for him to surrender.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Mingbai will go back to work in the company after taking a break for a while. After all, this is the empire he has built and he cannot give it up easily. He just didn't expect to meet Du Yongxiao here tonight.

Li Mingbai had long heard about the "grudge" between Du Yongxiao and Chung Ju-yung, or the Hyundai Group.

He knew even more clearly that if Du Yongxiao had not dealt with the third son of Zheng, the chain reaction would not have been triggered and he would not have become a discarded pawn.

He truly loves and hates Du Yongxiao.

But he also knew that Du Yongxiao was no simple man. He was the one who acquired Korea Bank and was eyeing Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motors. Such a strong man would be like the emperor no matter where he was.

Li Mingbai admired strong men very much, so he did not dare to look down on Du Yongxiao at all. On the contrary, he had a vague respect for him, or even fear of him.

"I'm so sorry. Although I don't know the specific reason, maybe your resignation has something to do with me!" Du Yongxiao knocked on the table and looked at Li Mingbai. "Besides, I admire you very much. You have done an excellent job in Hyundai Group. Since you are leaving now, why don't you let me compensate you--"

"Uh, what do you mean?"

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "What I mean is that I invite you to join our Du Group and serve as the leader of the automobile production line here. How about considering it?"

"Ah?" Li Mingbai looked at Du Yongxiao in surprise.

Du Yongxiao looked at the other party's reaction and was very satisfied.

It would be strange if I wasn't surprised to be recruited by a strong man like myself.

In fact, Du Yongxiao has thought it through very clearly. No matter whether it is Liu He or Soros, they will eventually leave South Korea. Who will take care of Samsung Electronics, the automobile companies in South Korea at that time?
Originally Du Yongxiao planned to train Jin Xuaner, but now it seems that this girl is not cut out for it.

To run a business like this, you still need capable people to do it, and Li Mingbai is the best candidate.

Just imagine, how could a person who can be hailed as the "myth of salarymen" and the "working emperor of Korea" be a weak person?
Seeing that Li Mingbai was still hesitating——
Du Yongxiao smiled and said, "Of course, you can refuse! To be precise, I think you are a talent and I admire you very much! If you can join the Du Group, then in the future you may be the first leader of our group stationed in South Korea. Whether it is an automobile company or other companies, such as semiconductors, hotels, department stores, chemical plants, etc., they all need outstanding people like you to be in charge-"

Du Yongxiao spoke calmly, but directly revealed the Du Group's layout and ambitions in South Korea.

Li Mingbai's heart beat faster and his eyes lit up when he heard this.

Doesn't Du Yongxiao's words mean that in the future, Li Mingbai will most likely be the general manager of the Du Group's base in South Korea?

In ancient times, it refers to the kings, princes, generals and ministers who were granted fiefdoms and titles!

For someone like him, even if he worked in Hyundai Group for his whole life, he would at most be just a president. But if he joined Du Yongxiao, then -
Du Yongxiao is Chinese after all, he wants to go back, and the Du Group has the final say here, right? No one is holding him back!
"Mr. Du, what you just said is... serious?" Li Mingbai asked tentatively.

Du Yongxiao smiled, took a sip of coffee, and looked at Li Mingbai seriously: "Of course it's true. If you are willing, you can go to work tomorrow! You will accompany me to negotiate with Hyundai Group! At that time, you can let all those who look down on you know how powerful you are!"

Li Mingbai was extremely excited!
He dreamed of having such a scene!

now--
It can actually come true!

Thinking of this, Li Mingbo no longer hesitated, and stood up and bowed to Du Yongxiao and said: "Thank you Mr. Du for your help!"
