Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 12: Planning and Acquisition

Everyone returned to the hall.

Boss B glanced at the dozen or so henchmen who had slept at the gang's headquarters the night before with a serious expression and asked, "What time did you all go to bed last night?"

“Brother B, after you left last night, we did some boxing and then went to sleep.”

“Brother B, last night I, Si-zai, and Xiao-ming slept together.”

“Brother B, you can’t possibly suspect a few of us, can you? We’ve been following you for years.”

The henchmen looked aggrieved and tried to explain to Brother B in a flurry of voices.

Boss B naturally knew that these people neither had the guts nor the opportunity; they definitely didn't do it.
However, he carefully inspected the safe and found no signs of forced entry.

This indicates that there are only two possibilities.

First, this thief was a lock-picking expert.

Secondly, the thief knew the password.

However, he changed the safe's combination every week. Each time he changed the combination, he would dismiss everyone around him, and even his trusted confidant, Chan Ho-nam, did not know the combination.

Therefore, this could only have been done by a skilled locksmith!
Chan Ho-nam quickly asked, "Brother B, how much money is missing?"

"More than three hundred! Those are all fees that need to be paid to the company!"

It would have been better if Chan Ho-nam hadn't said anything, because mentioning it made Boss B's heart ache even more. If they couldn't catch the thief, he would have to pay out of his own pocket to cover the losses.

There are over three hundred of them!

Making him take out more than three million yuan in cash out of his own pocket is tantamount to going bankrupt!

Who exactly is targeting Boss B?

He wanted nothing more than to grab a machete and hack that bastard to death!

Seeing the fury on Boss B's face, Chen Jiajun felt that he had vented a lot of his pent-up anger over the past few years.

He sat down in the chair with a smug look on his face, and cried out, "Stop thief!"
"Brother B, I think it would be better if you did this: Anan, go and check the brothers' beds and lockers."

Also, Si-zai, Xiao-ming, you guys should think carefully and recall if anything happened last night.

"Brother B, do you know any private investigators? Could you ask one to come back and investigate? Or call the police, but underreport the amount. The most important thing is to catch the thief first."

"This matter should be addressed as soon as possible, Brother B, you need to make a decision quickly!"

Call the police?

Of course, it's impossible to call the police, since the stolen money is all illicit. If you make a big fuss about it and call the police, the anti-gang police will naturally come knocking on your door.

Boss B narrowed his eyes and looked around: "Anan, you guys go check it out right away."

"Dahua, you guys think it over carefully. After I left last night, was there any commotion at the boxing gym?"

"I will have someone come back to investigate."

About half an hour passed.

Boss B hired a private investigator and an acquaintance from the police station; they brought a lot of equipment.

But after a thorough examination, nothing was found; not even biological traces such as shoe prints or fingerprints were collected.

This case thus became an unsolved mystery.

Enraged, Boss B smashed several cups, but had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

Upon returning to the Royal Nightclub, Doom came back to report:
"This is the property certificate for the house that Da Koufei bought in Causeway Bay. We went to retrieve it."

"In addition, here are today's gains."

All three large cloth bags were thrown onto the table.

A whopping nine million!
Chen Jiajun reached out and directly converted 4.5 million into Cosmic Coins, transferring them to Doom's account.

After receiving the money, Doom chuckled and said, "How about we send an invisible bug to take care of that golden-haired tiger and burn the ledgers? That way, no one will come to collect the debts."

"hiss!"

Is it black or Doom black?
They borrowed money from someone and then tried to kill them. Listen to this!
Is there any reason?
Is there any royal law?
Chen Jiajun gasped, then shook his head with a smile: "Just by looking at you, I can tell you're capable of anything except good things."

"Ahem, let's only do this as a last resort. Come on, let's go to the gold shop first."

Xie Liyuan Gold Shop.

Chen Jiajun jumped out of the car, with Dum on his left and Old Evil on his right, followed by seven or eight burly young demon slaves who jumped down from the truck bed.

This guy's attitude clearly indicates he's up to no good.

The security guards at the gold shop gripped their self-defense rubber batons tightly, while simultaneously gesturing to the shop's employees, preparing to bravely face their deaths.

The employee immediately picked up the phone, pressed the emergency number, and kept his eyes fixed on Chen Jiajun, ready to make the call at any moment.

A dozen or so customers who were selecting gold jewelry in the shop suddenly changed their expressions, put down the jewelry they were choosing, stuffed it into their handbags and wallets, and walked quickly out the door with their heads down.

No way.

Maybe it's because I'm too handsome?
Chen Jiajun walked to the counter and glared at the trembling, suited manager: "Hey! Are you blind or mute? Customers come in, what are you standing there for instead of serving them?"

"Our Xie Liyuan Gold Shop belongs to the Xie family of Haojiang."
We have a very good relationship with the Hong Kong Number Gang.
Inspector Niu Xiong of the Anti-Triad Unit at Wan Chai Police Station is also a friend of ours.
You...you want to collect protection money...

In this way, consider this five thousand yuan as a way to make friends and treat these gentlemen to tea.

The bespectacled manager rattled off a list of names with great familiarity, his voice trembling, but he grew increasingly unsure as he spoke, and finally pulled out 5000 Hong Kong dollars…

"Which eye of yours saw that we're here to collect protection money? We're here to buy gold."

Chen Jiajun chuckled and gestured for Dum to place a large bag of banknotes on the table.

"What? Buy gold? Then Xie Liyuan Gold Shop is the place to go!"

"Please come inside, distinguished guests! Someone! Would you like coffee or tea, gentlemen?"

Upon hearing this, the manager's expression changed, and he immediately put away the Hong Kong dollars, adopting an extremely enthusiastic demeanor.

Goodness, in just one minute, it changed countless expressions, just like the face-changing act in Sichuan opera.

Two minutes later, Chen Jiajun was sitting in the VIP room, with the manager looking at him obsequiously and the beautiful female staff member of the jewelry store looking at him with affection.

After all, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop has encountered robbers with sacks before, but it has never encountered someone bringing a large sack of Hong Kong dollars to buy gold.

"Young Master Jun, you've really made the right choice in hiring us!"

"Our Xie Liyuan Gold Shop is financially strong. We have a paper gold business, and as you know, the price of gold has been rising continuously for more than a decade..."

The manager enthusiastically introduced Chen Jiajun to their gold shop's various services.

Chen Jiajun naturally knew the origins of this time-honored gold shop.

Tse Lee Yuen Gold Shop was founded in the sixth year of the Tongzhi reign. In the 1970s, when the price of gold rose sharply, Tse Lee Yuen Gold Shop launched the "999 Gold Accumulation Plan". Citizens could open gold accounts and buy and sell gold at the gold price of the day. After its launch, it was very popular among Hong Kong citizens.

The problem is that Xie Liyuan Gold Shop launched paper gold, but did not buy and sell gold on the market according to customer demand, nor did it have a large gold reserve. In fact, it is somewhat similar to futures and stocks.

Later, international gold prices rose sharply, with each tael of gold increasing by nearly 1500 yuan. Xie Liyuan Gold Shop was forced to replenish its stock in the market, leading to cash flow problems and ultimately forcing it to close down on September 6.

After Xie Liyuan's gold shop went bankrupt, it also involved a bank, ultimately leading to the bank's collapse.

Chen Jiajun came to Xie Liyuan Gold Shop specifically to buy gold, with the aim of acquiring the gold shop and the bank as the largest creditor in the future.

"There are a total of seven million Hong Kong dollars here, all of which will be used to buy paper gold."

Chen Jiajun exhaled a smoke ring and pushed all the Hong Kong dollars in front of him away.

Stud!

The tone was understated, highlighting the word "arrogant".

"I understand, Young Master Jun! Don't worry, you'll be our VVVIP customer from now on! We'll process your paperwork right away!"

The manager's smile grew even warmer; with such a large order, he could earn a substantial commission.

Half an hour later, Chen Jiajun walked out the door with a large stack of forms, and when he got to a secluded place, he put the paper gold directly into the system's personal space.

Then Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "Dum, Old Evil, take a few brothers, grab your weapons, and drive out with me. The rest of you stay home and watch the place!"
