Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Mr. Du, what do you mean by this sentence?"

David Rockefeller was stunned by Du Yongxiao's sudden words.

Du Yongxiao handed over the poured tea and put it in front of him, "Your Excellency is a smart man, if your bank has nothing to do, why would a trivial matter like mine make you travel all the way from New York to London?"

Without waiting for David to speak, Du Yongxiao continued: "Let me guess, the funds are in trouble, are you afraid that I will withdraw money?"

David smiled: "Du, you can really tell a joke. How is it possible, how powerful is our Chase, and how powerful is our Locke family?"

"I know that your family is powerful, but it seems that Datong didn't get financial support from your family. You have been throwing money into it all the time! I'm sorry, maybe it's not appropriate to use the word 'smashing', but that's the truth, no ?"

David couldn't understand Du Yongxiao, and didn't understand why he knew the situation of Chase so well.

Of course Du Yongxiao will not tell him that he is from the future and has read David's own book, which gives him a sense of accomplishment, and the main content is to show off how to build Chase.

At this moment, David's showing off in his last life has become Du Yongxiao's trump card.

"You're just guessing, aren't you?" David didn't believe that Du Yongxiao knew everything, he took a sip from his teacup, his eyes contemptuous.

Du Yongxiao also picked up the teacup: "A month ago, because the wages of the workers were owed for a long time, the government increased taxation, which caused the workers in Paris, France to go on strike, which was known as the 'July countercurrent' in history. In the end, the French government had to do so in order to ease the conflict. Don’t prompt many factories and companies to pay those workers three months’ salary back. Chase Bank’s biggest business in France is to replace those factories and companies’ salaries, three months at a time, isn’t there enough cash?”

David raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a slight shock.

Du Yongxiao continued: "Twenty days ago, Gucci, a well-known Italian fashion brand, encountered a reputation crisis. It was boycotted by human rights organizations because it refused to use black models to represent Gucci brand! For this reason, Gucci had to spend up to 30 million US dollars in publicity fees to resolve the problem. A crisis! And the 30 million originally belonged to you in Datong!"

"Ten days ago, another major event happened in your US headquarters, didn't you? Do you want me to continue?" Du Yongxiao held a teacup and looked at David Cloefeller with a smile.

David's face remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "Why don't I know what? Why don't you tell me—"

"Really?" Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, "Chase Bank's New York head office had a counter crisis, because an old lady failed to pay in time when withdrawing money. Well, to be precise, the old lady also had some energy, and she turned out to be the wife of a certain embassy counselor. Your bank made headlines in two days, if you hadn't acted quickly, Chase's reputation would suffer a lot!"

"But even so, there was a run on your bank, and many depositors came to withdraw money, which caught your head office by surprise and had to mobilize funds from other banks to support it!"

After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, he looked into David's eyes, "This is what I heard, are you right?"

David Rockefeller was shocked inside!

These are all their Chase's business secrets, how could the other party know?

David couldn't help it anymore, and his face showed surprise.

Du Yongxiao, however, was shocked by the thunder in his chest, and without changing his face, he toasted to meet: "Drink tea first!"

David was full of doubts, so he had to bite the bullet and drink the tea first, and then said, "How do you know these things?"

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing yourself. This is an old Chinese saying."

Faced with this answer, David was very dissatisfied.

Du Yongxiao said: "My 300 million may be a small amount in the past, but now—"

Du Yongxiao flicked the tea foam with his fingertips, "A feather can bend the weight!"

"What do you want?" David finally understood that the young man in front of him was difficult to deal with, and to be precise, he lost from the very beginning. The other party knows him well, but he knows nothing about him.

"300 million, I promise you to deposit all of it in the bank, and I will not raise it! One of the 100 million is my own, and I am going to invest it—"

"Invest in what?"

"Your bank!"

Du Yongxiao said this lightly, but it was like thunder.

"You want to buy my bank shares?"

"Smart! Mr. Locke is worthy of being a boss, he can see through it!"

"I can give you a share of 100 million US dollars, according to the current market price—"

"No, you didn't understand what I meant," Du Yongxiao interrupted David, "I said it at the beginning, I'm going to be greedy!"

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that I am going to use one-third of the current market share price to buy—"

"Impossible!" David immediately refused, "How dare you threaten me with just 300 million?"

"It's not coercion, it's cooperation."

"I can get cash from the family—"

"If it was possible, you would have done it long ago! Those brothers of yours are not just waiting for you, they are all waiting for you to make a fool of yourself. Would you beg them?"

"I can also raise funds—"

"It takes time! Time is money. When you finish raising funds, maybe Chase here will go bankrupt! The financial empire you dreamed of will collapse."

"Du Yongxiao, who are you?" David stood up with a bang, staring at Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao stood up slowly, with a calm posture and a calm tone: "I am Chinese, from Hong Kong, China!"

"you--"

"I just want to cooperate with you." Du Yongxiao's eyes were shining, "If we make friends, we can travel across the world hand in hand! Don't you still want to open a branch in Hong Kong? I can support you when the time comes! Even Singapore, Thailand, Asia, I can help too!"

Du Yongxiao's words directly pierced David's heart.

He even knows my future plans?

David looked at Du Yongxiao in horror, wondering if he was a human or a ghost?

"Don't guess, I'm a human, not a ghost!" Du Yongxiao looked into David's eyes and said, "You don't have much time, either agree now or refuse! As for me, I have to go back and read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", by the way, And that "Thirty-Eight Letters from Rockefeller to His Children" written by your grandfather!"

"I remember there is another content in the letter. If you want to make a person disabled, just give him a pair of crutches, and then you can achieve the goal after a while. And my three hundred million dollars is the crutches. As for your Excellency To be disabled for a while, or to wait for the bank to go bankrupt, you choose!"

After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, he took out the tea money from his pocket and threw it on the table, then turned to leave.

At this time——

"100 million US dollars, one-third of the stock price, I'll sell you!"

Du Yongxiao stopped and turned around slowly: "Good choice!"
