Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 655 0643 [No more pretense, showdown]

"Ahem, what?" Soros stared at Du Yongxiao in disbelief.

Du Yongxiao looked calm and straightened his clothes: "But I think Mr. Soros doesn't seem to care about my investment in your company. In this case, I won't bother you anymore!"

After saying that, Du Yongxiao turned around and left.

"Mr. stay!"

Soros stood up quickly and shouted loudly.

Du Yongxiao had already opened the door and walked out.

Just now you were indifferent to me, and now I have put you beyond your reach.

Du Yongxiao pretended not to hear and continued to leave.

Soros didn't care about any face, rushed out, turned around and stopped Du Yongxiao, "Sir, don't be like this, it was my fault just now! I have a bad attitude! I, I, I - why don't we talk about it after we go in!"

The surrounding staff looked at Soros in surprise, watching him continue to apologize to Du Yongxiao.

In their impression, Soros was a very arrogant person who was arrogant and arrogant, and was not looked down upon by anyone. However, his current behavior of making concessions and compromises simply shocked them.

When Du Yongxiao saw that it was almost done, he turned back and sighed: "Mr. Soros, I came here with great sincerity, but you - you disappoint me so much!"

Soros hurriedly forced out a smile, stepped forward and took Du Yongxiao's arm, and said in an aggrieved tone that he had never used in his life: "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! It's my fault! There was something on my mind just now, and I was in a panic, so that's why So rude, please forgive me Mr. Du!" After saying that, he looked at Du Yongxiao with a bitter look on his face.

The surrounding staff were shocked again.

Our respected Mr. Soros is too humble!
  Du Yongxiao snorted coldly, and then said: "Okay then, I will give you another chance to go to the office to discuss it in detail!"

"Okay! Thank you Mr. Du for the opportunity!" Soros breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pulled Du Yongxiao towards the office. As he walked, he turned to his staff and said: "Stop looking and work quickly! And Mitchell , prepare two cups of coffee - Mr. Du, do you want coffee or tea? Or green tea, I know you Chinese people love to drink green tea! Mitchell, prepare two cups of good tea, yes, we must let The distinguished Mr. Du is satisfied!”

Female secretary Mitchell was stunned: "Green tea? Where can we get good tea in our company? There is only Lipton black tea!"

Mitchell couldn't care much and hurriedly ran to find green tea elsewhere. She never thought in her life that one day she would break her leg just for a cup of green tea.

……

"Mr. Du, please sit down!"

Entering the office, Soros invited Du Yongxiao to sit down with an extremely respectful gesture.

Du Yongxiao nodded, straightened his clothes, and Damajinda sat on the sofa.

Soros wanted to sit back behind his desk and think about it, because that would create a sense of distance and not seem intimate enough, so he hurriedly sat down next to Du Yongxiao, then picked up the cigars on the coffee table that were only provided for those rich people, and handed him a cigar. Pay to Du Yongxiao: "Mr. Du, these are good Cuban cigars, try them!"

Du Yongxiao nodded: "GOOD!" He took the cigar, bit it on his mouth, and then glanced at Soros.

Soros understood immediately, picked up the cigar match, struck it, and then personally helped Du Yongxiao grill the cigar.

In the previous life, who could have imagined that Soros, the famous "financial tycoon" and "stock sniper", would so humbly help a young man ignite and serve him with such meticulous care.

When the cigar was burning and its unique fragrance came out, Du Yongxiao exhaled the smoke with satisfaction and sprayed it on Soros' face.

Not only was Soros not angry, but he also smiled happily: "Mr. Du, doesn't this cigar taste great? I spent a lot of effort to get it, and you can't smoke it outside!"

Du Yongxiao smiled, holding a cigar and pointing at the tip of Soros's nose: "Yes, I can already feel your sincerity!"

"Haha, that's good!" Soros rolled his eyes, wiped his aquiline nose, and looked at Du Yongxiao greedily: "Then did I hear wrong just now... You said that you want to invest five hundred Wen for Our Quantum Fund?”

After Soros finished speaking, he stared at Du Yongxiao, for fear that what he said would not mean what he said.

Du Yongxiao bit his cigar, turned it around in his mouth, looked at Soros and said, "You heard this very clearly. I seemed to have heard you just now, saying that people like me should invest one thousand, or ten thousand... "

Soros hurriedly apologized: "That was my fault. How did I know that Mr. Du was so... courageous! The first move was five million - it was indeed five million. Did I hear you right?" Soros He asked tentatively again, not daring to take his eyes off Du Yongxiao's face for a second, for fear of something happening.

Du Yongxiao held his cigar between his legs, leaned forward to flick the ashes, raised his legs and looked at Soros: "You heard me right, I want to invest five million in you -"

"Is it U.S. dollars?"

"Of course, is it still Zimbabwean currency, or Vietnamese dong?" Du Yongxiao raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully. ''

Soros beamed again, grinning from ear to ear: "I knew Mr. Du was not an ordinary person! Remus introduced you to me, then you are my distinguished guest, and now you want to invest five million in me, then you He is my benefactor!”

"Benefactor?" Du Yongxiao blinked and pretended not to understand.

When Soros heard this, he immediately sniffed, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, blew his nose, and said with red eyes: "It's a long story! Mr. Du, to tell you the truth, before you came here, my investments Customers are all clearing out their inventory——"

"Oh, why is this? Did they make too much and prepare to cash out?" Du Yongxiao pretended to be surprised.

Soros covered his nose and said in a choked voice: "On the contrary, because I recently invested in Coca-Cola Company, there was an accident there and the stock plummeted. These investors hold me fully responsible and are ready to withdraw their capital!" After that, Soros said Subconsciously observe Du Yongxiao's reaction.

Du Yongxiao frowned: "This makes no sense. Investing is like dating. It's between you and me. When we make money, everyone is happy. If we lose money, we can't blame you!"

"Mr. Du!" Soros looked at Du Yongxiao excitedly and gave a thumbs up: "Renyi! I have never seen a person who declares righteousness like you. Many people are short-sighted and only look at the present and cannot see the future. !”

Du Yongxiao shook his head modestly: "People are different. Maybe they think more about it. After all, the economic downturn is severe now, holding currency is king, and many people are afraid to invest their excess money in the stock and fund markets."

"In this case, I dare to ask one more question, Mr. Du, why do you invest so much in our company?" After Soros finished speaking, he looked at Du Yongxiao seriously to see how he would explain.

Du Yongxiao bit his cigar, leaned back on the sofa comfortably, and looked directly at Soros: "Because I am not investing in this company——"

"what is that?"

"You man!"

……

Du Yongxiao's words, "I'm not investing in your company, but in you," left Soros stunned on the spot, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Ahem, did I hear you right? Mr. Du, you mean... you are interested in my personal ability, so you invested five million in me?" After Soros finished speaking, he stared at me without blinking. By Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao bit his cigar, looked like a tycoon, and smoothed his shiny black hair with his hand, "Yes, Soros, I'm optimistic about you!"

After a pause, Du Yongxiao continued: "If I remember correctly, your Quantum Fund was established less than three years ago..."

"Yes, there are still three months to go until three years."

"In more than two years, the total cost of your fund company is only [-], but the return rate is more than [-]%! Of course, a [-]% return rate is not surprising, especially on Wall Street in New York, USA. Many financial investors have very sharp returns, some as high as [-]%, or even [-], [-]%!”

Soros hurriedly explained: "Those are all occasional. Real investment requires boldness and even more stability! In fact, I can completely increase the rate of return a lot, but the risk will also increase."

Du Yongxiao nodded and chewed his cigar: "You are brutally honest! It reminds me of that sentence, risks are directly proportional to benefits! So after researching you, I found that you are a very good investor, with keen vision and strong will. Most importantly, The important thing is – you are responsible for your customers!”

Hearing this, Soros burst into tears of gratitude again, took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Thank you, Mr. Du! You are truly my confidant!"

"You don't need to say too much about these words. Now I just want to ask you one question. What are you going to do after taking my five million?" Du Yongxiao bit his cigar and blew out a puff of smoke at Soros, his eyes burning.

Thick smoke obscured Du Yongxiao's Dongfang face, adding some mystery to him. At least in Soros's view, the young man in front of him was not simple. No matter his vision, knowledge, or courage, he was not comparable to ordinary investors.

Soros did not dare to answer Du Yongxiao's question immediately. He knew that this question was very critical. If the answer was even slightly wrong, the five million he received might fly away.

After pondering for a while, Soros looked directly at Du Yongxiao and said: "To be honest, Mr. Du! I have never taken over such a large amount of investment funds. As you know, the funds I have always operated are only in the millions. Now you give me five million at once, I feel a lot of pressure!"

"A lot of pressure?" Du Yongxiao smiled half-heartedly.

"But the motivation is greater!" Soros hurriedly added, "You have motivation when you are under pressure! So I plan to expand the investment scale and set up an investment model specifically for you, Mr. Du, to catch all the high-quality stocks in the stock market!"

Soros waved his fist and made a resolute gesture.

"High-quality stocks? Haha!" Du Yongxiao smiled, his eyes a little contemptuous.

The smile made Soros's heart skip a beat and he immediately became nervous: "I'm sorry, Mr. Du, did I make a mistake somewhere? If so, please point it out!"

Du Yongxiao raised his chin and looked at Soros: "As I said just now, I admire you very much! But what I admire about you is not your stability!"

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"What I admire about you is your boldness!" Du Yongxiao said, "You have lost so much investing in Coke, yet you still dare to continue chasing investments. This is what a financial tycoon should do! Being timid and seeking stability is not my style. I hope you can Understand this!"

"what do you mean--"

"What I mean is -" Du Yongxiao leaned forward slightly, stared at Soros with sharp eyes and said: "I treat the stock market as a casino and a cash machine! I am a robber and a thief! I want to steal from this casino Maximum profit! Not [-]%, [-]% or [-]%, but double and double again!”

Du Yongxiao waved his fist and roared at Soros.

Soros was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, he finally saw Du Yongxiao's ambitions clearly.

Suddenly, Soros smiled.

Hahaha!
  Laughing wildly!
  Very unscrupulous!
  After finally letting his laughter fall, Soros calmed down his expression, looked at Du Yongxiao and said word by word: "Mr. Du, I didn't expect that you and I would be in the same group!"

Yes, Du Yongxiao was acting before.

Soros is also acting.

Soros' previous groveling was all fake, and the purpose was just to get Du Yongxiao to invest money.

but now--
  After finding out Du Yongxiao's true ambition, Soros simply took off his mask and stopped pretending!
  "In fact, I have always regarded the stock market as a casino and a cash machine! I believe in gaining wealth through risk! I believe in a person's courage! I am a Jew, I do not believe in God, but I believe in the Jewish law of [-]! Only [-]% of the people in this world are the best and most noble. They occupy [-]% of the wealth and are the top among the top!"

Soros looked proud. "So, if you are willing, I am willing to be your general on the road to investment, opening up new worlds for you and overcoming obstacles! Of course -"

Soros paused and looked at Du Yongxiao: "It may also fall into the sand and die without a whole body! Yes, this is the stock market, this is the casino! If you are willing to take risks, I am also willing to accept your money. , put profits first. If you like stability, I am also willing to become an ordinary fund manager and put protection costs first!"

Du Yongxiao smiled, pointed at Soros with a cigar between his fingers and said, "Not bad! You are becoming more and more to my liking, and I like you!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Du!"

"No need to thank me, you just need to take my money now and help me make a lot of money!" Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, "For example, invest all this money in Coca-Cola!"

"What?" Soros was startled and his eyes widened: "Five million, all of it?"

"That's right! Don't miss this opportunity! Now that Coca-Cola's stock price has halved, it's time to invest in it! It's good to invest five million and earn two million for fun!"

Soros swallowed hard. He thought he was crazy enough, but he didn't expect Du Yongxiao to be crazier than him.

Push all-in for five million and make two million?
  "Ahem, Mr. Du, you've irritated me!"

Du Yongxiao crushed the cigar in the ashtray of the coffee table, stood up and said, "I don't know if the excitement has stimulated you. I only know that it is a pleasure to cooperate!" Du Yongxiao stretched out his hand towards Soros.

Soros hurriedly reached out to hold it, and just as he was about to speak, Mi Nushu Mitchell came in with green tea: "Sir, the tea you want." Put it in front of Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "No need, the discussion is over!" After that, he said to Soros: "I will send someone to sign the specific investment contract with you."

"Okay, Mr. Du!" Soros was extremely respectful and sent Du Yongxiao out.

"And--" Du Yongxiao turned around and said, "I may come here more often in the future, so--"

Du Yongxiao didn't say the rest of the words, smiled, turned and left.

Soros rushed him to the elevator.

Crunch!

The elevator closes.

Seeing Du Yongxiao leaving in the elevator, Soros breathed a sigh of relief, snapped his fingers and said: "Five million, got it!"

Seeing how happy he was, the female secretary Mitchell couldn't help but said: "This Mr. Du is really so powerful. He dares to invest five million?"

Soros did not answer, but pointed at her: "Did you hear what Mr. Du just said?"

"What?" Mitchell didn't understand.

"He said he would come here often in the future. So -" Soros ordered seriously: "You prepare the most expensive green tea for me! Yes, go to Chinatown and buy back the most expensive green tea for the Chinese! Immediately, immediately!"

……

New York, USA,

Chinatown.

"I heard that that short fat man used to be Inspector Hua in Hong Kong."

"I've heard about it too. His name is Yan Xiong! He was so powerful before. Together with that guy named Lei Luo, he is one of the top four detectives in Xiangjiang!"

"So what if you are so majestic? Are you going to run away in the end?"

"Hahaha, you're right! These bastards who bully good people will not end well!"

In the Dragon Phoenix Tea House in Chinatown, Yan Xiong drank tea alone and ate shrimp dumplings and xiaolongbao.

Some Chinese people nearby whispered.

Yan Xiong had sensitive ears and couldn't help but want to get angry when he heard this. He also thought that this was someone else's territory. He and his godfather Du Yongxiao were here to discuss business. Since they were unfamiliar with the place, it was better to be patient.

In recent days, Du Yongxiao brought Yan Xiong to New York and said he was looking for projects to invest in.

Mr. Remus from Chase Bank helped Du Yongxiao introduce Soros, a Wall Street financial investment expert.

Du Yongxiao went to meet with Soros.

Yan Xiong has been left alone in the hotel for the past few days with nothing to do.

Yan Xiong was not used to Western food, especially American Western food, which was even more unauthentic, so Yan Xiong took the opportunity to wander around Chinatown.

He also left his phone address for his godfather Du Yongxiao. If anything happens to Du Yongxiao, feel free to come here to find him.

I just didn't expect that when I visited this teahouse again today, I would hear so many harsh words.

Yan Xiong pretended not to hear, but those tea guests were unwilling to let him go, especially since they were "natives" of Chinatown and prepared to bully Yan Xiong.

"By the way, I heard that Yan Xiong's nickname is Smiling Tiger. He is not only cunning and mean, but also despicable!"

"Yes, I heard about it too! In order to survive, he even betrayed his relatives and friends, and later even became his godfather to his sworn enemy!"

"Wow, no way, so despicable?"

Everyone looked surprised, everyone said something to me, talking loudly, for fear that Yan Xiong wouldn't hear.

Yan Xiong saw that their words were thorny and the more they spoke, the more unpleasant they were. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he slapped his chopsticks on the table.

Just when Yan Xiong wanted to get angry-——
  "Stop talking, Boss Huang is here!"

"Shut up, Brother Guang is here!"

Yan Xiong turned around and saw a man with big eyes, a bulbous nose, and a big mouth walking in from outside.

I saw him looking at Shen Fei, holding a small purple sand teapot in his left hand, looking up at the top, as if he didn't like anyone, and he had a completely short-lived look on his face.

"Is it him?" Yan Xiong was stunned for a moment.

Yan Xiong knew this man with big eyes and a short life.

The other party is none other than Huang Zuguang, one of his detectives during the "Black Golden Era" of Hong Kong, nicknamed "Big Vision".

Huang Zuguang used to work as a detective on Nathan Road in Kowloon. He married a young wife named "Ah Xiang", nicknamed "Temple Street Incense Burner". She was very charming and her skills in seducing men were top-notch, so much so that there was a local saying called " Everyone puts incense burners in Temple Street.”

I don't know when this woman hooked up with Liu Fu's nephew Liu He. Huang Zuguang, nicknamed "Big Eyes", found out and immediately caught Liu He and beat him up.

The result is that Liu Fugong avenged himself and settled the score with Yan Xiong, but Yan Xiong was a big visionary.

Yan Xiong, a "good boss", went to the big vision to settle the score and transferred him directly from Nathan Road in Kowloon to Yuen Long, New Territories. He changed from a "fat detective" who was full of oil and water to a "cow dung" who went to Yuen Long to pick up cow dung. Inspector".

After the ICAC was established, the four detectives Lei Luo, Yan Xiong, Han Sen, and Lan Gang ran away one after another.

Inspector Hua, who is at the level of Da Guanyan, is even more panic-stricken.

The big vision was lucky. Because he was not "taken seriously" by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and because he was transferred to the New Territories to collect cow dung, there was little money to be made, and the charges were relatively minor, so the Independent Commission Against Corruption didn't pay much attention to him.

Big Eyes took the opportunity to get a passport, take his family and money with him, and ran away to the United States, where he took root in Chinatown, New York.

He is not good at being a detective because of his big vision, but he is very talented in business.

After coming to Chinatown, he used his savings to directly open the Dragon and Phoenix Tea House. Both the shape and decoration were copied from those in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, focusing on the "nostalgic feeling".

"Dragon and Phoenix Tea House" is famous in Hong Kong. Both black and white, rich, gentry and powerful people all know this tea house and like to dine in the tea house.

Big Eyes' guess was correct.

There are many Chinese in New York's Chinatown who have fled from Hong Kong or immigrated here. There are many people like him who are nostalgic for Hong Kong, and they have deep feelings for Dragon and Phoenix Teahouse.

As a result, the Dragon Phoenix Tea House was packed with customers as soon as it opened.

On the premise of having a large number of customers, the restaurant's food is strictly processed. No matter the materials, quality, or taste, it strives to be perfect. Only in this way can it capture the stomachs of customers for a long time.

Sure enough, under the strict execution of Big Eyes, the business of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea House was getting better and better. Not only was it making money every day, but Big Eyes also opened seven or eight more chain stores in Chinese gathering places outside Chinatown.

At this time, the big visionary already regarded himself as a "catering tycoon". He was extremely visionary and extremely arrogant.

When these Chinese people in Chinatown saw him, they were all respectful and either called him "Brother Guang" or "Boss Huang". As for the nickname "Big Eyes", they did not dare to call him face to face.

How did Yan Xiong know this? When he saw that he was an acquaintance, and that this acquaintance was once his subordinate, he immediately stood up, waved to Da Yanyan and said: "Da Yanxiang, here!"

Big Eyes is comfortably enjoying the worship of many diners.

"Hello Brother Guang!"

"Good morning, Boss Huang!"

Those people all nodded and bowed to him.

Holding the purple clay teapot with big eyes, biting the spout, he nodded with satisfaction, his vanity fully satisfied.

abruptly—
  Yan Xiong's "big vision" made him couldn't help but look at Yan Xiong.

Others also looked at Yan Xiong with surprise in their eyes——
  Is this person looking for death?
