Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 171 The Light of Men
It was already late at night when we returned to Repulse Bay Estate.

When I returned to the living room, Guan Jiahui was already in bed. She had classes to attend the next day, unlike Huang Bian.

The housekeeper had just brought Chen Jiajun a bowl of freshly cooked abalone porridge when Huang Bian came over to give him a massage: "Why are you back so late?"

"I have to support two women like you, so of course I have to work harder in business."

Chen Jiajun reached out and touched Huang Bian's arm: "Why aren't you asleep so late?"

"The new house is too spacious, I can't sleep."

Huang Bi'an sat down next to Chen Jiajun.

"You're not used to sleeping in the same bed? I'll keep you company later," Chen Jiajun said meaningfully.

The villa is great in every way, but it's too big and too spacious. It seems I'll have to work harder and find a few more wives.

"I don't!"

Huang Bi'an probably realized that Chen Jiajun was a beast, and immediately turned pale with fright, turning around and walking upstairs.

Chen Jiajun, however, refused to listen and hurriedly finished a pot of porridge before going to Huang Bi'an's master bedroom.

When designing the villa, Chen Jiajun designed several large bedrooms, each equipped with a walk-in closet, bathroom, living room, etc., so that each master bedroom can be used independently without disturbing others.

"I'm going to sleep with Huihui." Huang Bian tried to appear calm as she picked up her pillow.

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Jiajun had already put his arm around Huang Bian's waist and led her into the bedroom: "Help me run the water and scrub my back."

"it is good…"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Huang Bi'an blushed and headed for the bathroom.

The next day.

Chen Jiajun had just finished washing up after waking up when the butler came over to inform him: "Young Master, He Tianbao, the eldest son of the He family, has come to visit."

"Why is he here?"

Chen Jiajun changed into casual clothes and went downstairs to the entertainment hall, where he saw He Tianbao, dressed in a suit and tie, holding a cup of coffee and admiring the luxury cars in the car corridor.

In addition to entertainment facilities, the entertainment hall on the first floor also features a car corridor showcasing his collection of luxury cars.

"Tianbao, is this your first time here? Why didn't you call ahead so I could wake up earlier?"

"It's alright, my dad just suddenly called me over to ask you to come over."

"Oh? Brother Xin called me?"

"Correct."

He Xin's residence in Hong Kong is located at No. 1 Repulse Bay Road. Although both are located in Repulse Bay, they are a kilometer or two apart.

"Dad!"

"Brother Xin!"

When Chen Jiajun and He Tianbao arrived, He Xin was teasing a hyacinth macaw: "Jun, come, have some tea!"

After they sat down, He Xin poured Chen Jiajun a cup of tea and handed him a cigar: "Jun, you should know the pressure we faced when we founded SJM Holdings."

"I've heard a little about it. I heard that the Fu family and the Gao family have both threatened you?"

Chen Jiajun took the cigar, suppressing his temper. He knew that He Xin wouldn't chat with him for no reason.

He Xin lit his pipe and nodded: "The biggest threat is not the Fu family, but the Luo family."

He Xin's tone also seemed to be lost in memories.

At that time, the Ropa family was so powerful that even the Portuguese president listened to them.

In Haojiang at that time, Luo Bao could decide whether you died or lived.

After his forces failed in their bid for the gambling license, Luo Bao called Portugal, and the Portuguese president also called the Governor of Macau, urging him not to hand over the casino to Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau (STDM) for operation.

But the Governor of Macau was adamant; he had already promised to give the job to SJM Holdings and wanted to keep his word.

The Governor of Macau even admitted at the time that he planned to resign from the position because the benefits offered by the SJM Holdings were too great.

The Governor of Macau's actions in helping the SJM Holdings naturally provoked retaliation from the Lo Pau family. Young Lo Pau called the President and ousted the Governor of Macau from Macau!

Following this, Xiao Luobao used his advantages in certain industries to cause SJM Holdings to lose customers and then hired a hitman at a high price to assassinate He Xin.

Little Luo Bao even warned: "The day SJM Holdings opens gambling will be the end of Macau!"

At this point, He Xin laughed and said, "Later, Brother Nan called his mother, Liu, who had a lot of influence in the underworld. In Macau, the Number Gang protected my safety, and in Hong Kong, the Hung Hing Group protected my safety."

At this point, he looked at Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "So, this is why you gave Hung Hing two casinos?"

"Yes, it's mainly to repay the favors owed to Hung Hing and the Chiang family, but you know how difficult it is to repay such debts."

Jiang Tianyang called me, hoping to sit down and talk with you.

I didn't personally intervene, but I found a new henchman to act as a mediator. I had Jiang Tianyang give the new henchman a million-dollar "tea money" (a bribe). Ah Jun, what do you think?

He Xin nodded, revealing his true intention in calling Chen Jiajun over.

Xinmazai, also known as Xinma Shizeng, is actually named Deng Yongxiang.

He was a superstar thirty years ago, a giant of Cantonese opera, whose status was unshakeable and extremely high.

How high is their status?
One of the shareholders of SJM Holdings Limited.

He was the only person in all of Hong Kong who could legally smoke opium; it was a special permission granted by the Governor, and the police couldn't do anything about it.

Known in the entertainment industry as Brother Cheung or Uncle Cheung, he is a famous Cantonese opera star. Those of higher seniority and status call him Xin Mazai. He is a wealthy man with a net worth of hundreds of millions.

"Since you specifically asked me to come here, Brother Xin, and Uncle Xiang is also involved, alright, we can talk."

Chen Jiajun readily agreed.

He Xin nodded, took out a chessboard, and said with a burning gaze, "Now that we've finished discussing business, play a game of chess with me before we move on. I've recently learned a few new moves."

I choose!

He Xin is such a terrible chess player, Chen Jiajun has suffered greatly because of him.

"Brother Xin, I'll be going now. Don't worry, I'll definitely be there tonight."

After finishing his sentence, Chen Jiajun immediately got up, dusted himself off, and left without any hesitation.

……

That night.

Stanley Street, Luk Yu Tea House.

Surrounded by several Mercedes-Benzes, the Mercedes-Benz Pullman slowly pulled up at the entrance. Doom got out of the driver's seat, opened the door, and Chen Jiajun stepped out with his right foot, standing still.

Not far away, a Rolls-Royce slowly came to a stop, and an elderly man dressed in a black traditional Chinese jacket and top hat stepped out.

He was pale-faced, had a hooked nose, and was extremely thin, but his gait was very steady.

This person is none other than Xin Ma Shizeng, who has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds of Hong Kong and Macau.

All the older uncles and aunts in Hong Kong know him!
When Xinma Shizeng saw Chen Jiajun, he quickly stepped forward, leaning on his cane: "Jun!"

"Uncle Xiang, it's really not right for us juniors to ask you to act as peacemakers. I specially got a batch of Yiwu tea a while ago, you can take it back and try it later."

Chen Jiajun walked to his side even faster and helped him up. When you're out in the world, you must be filial, especially to important figures.

“You get paid for being a peacemaker,” Xinma Shizeng said with a smile.

The two went upstairs.

At this time, there were not many people sitting in the private room, only Jiang Tianyang, Shen Xianke, Che Baoshan, and the three brothers Tony from the Yue Nan gang.

Upon seeing Xinma Shizeng approaching, Jiang Tianyang immediately strode to the door and greeted him: "Uncle Xiang."

“Tianyang, you’ve been through thick and thin for decades, and now you still have Jiang Xiaobao with you. If Jiang Tiansheng knew this in the afterlife, he would be very happy. You should enjoy life now.”

Xinma Shizeng sat in the middle, holding a cup of tea and fiddling with a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, with a smile on his face.

Jiang Tianyang, equally smiling, said, "Brother Xiang, who can compare to you! Hey, you guys have no manners? Aren't you going to greet us?"

The immortals behind him immediately called out to Xinma Shizeng, "Uncle Xiang."

Xinma Shizeng pointed at Che Baoshan and said, "You must be Jiang Xiaobao?" "Uncle Xiang, it's me."

Che Baoshan bowed slightly to Xinma Shizeng, feeling somewhat awkward about the name Jiang Xiaobao.

"He is indeed a handsome man, just like your father."

After praising Che Baoshan, Xinma Shizeng added:
"Brother Xin asked me to act as a peacemaker, Ah Jun, what do you mean by this?"

Chen Jiajun leaned back on the sofa, a large cigar between his fingers: "Hey, Uncle Xiang, Jiang Tianyang has poached two of my gangs."

“This matter cost me a lot of money, but since Prince and Chen Dayu are willing to switch jobs, I have nothing to say.”

“Jiang Tianyang gave me 20 million yuan as compensation. I didn’t say a word or do anything.”

"But what do you mean by colluding with the Yue Nan gang to shoot my Hung Hing leader?"

Xinma Shizeng took out some duck slices from his pocket, took a few sips, and said, "Tianyang, just say what you have to say."

Jiang Tianyang smiled and said to Chen Jiajun opposite him, "Brother Xiang, this time I asked Brother Xin to invite you out to talk. You can see my sincerity."

Last night, Ah Jun sent people to burn down my flour mill and my bar in Jordan, causing me losses of several thousand yuan.

Xinma Shizeng exhaled a puff of smoke: "Your noodle factory and bar were burned down, how can you be sure it was Ah Jun's men who did it?"

“Uncle Cheung, it was indeed me who did this. He sent people to assassinate the leader of Hung Hing, I had no choice but to do something.”

Chen Jiajun admitted it without hesitation.

"Push to the street!"

"I knew it was you!"

Ah Zha, who was standing next to Jiang Tianyang, couldn't hold back any longer and slammed his fist on the table, shouting.

Chen Jiajun, puffing on his cigar, said, "I presume you are the famous Ah Zha, Sin Wai Cha?"

"I will not change my name or surname, this is indeed me," A-Zha patted his chest.

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "When you're in the game, it's not always right to talk loudly."

"I won't talk about the laundry detergent issue, but we did make a mistake by sending people to take out Hung Hing's son."

But how do I calculate twenty lives? 20 each, a total of 400 million. That way I can give my brothers an explanation.

Ah Zha stated his request.

"Give me your mother!"

"Who am I supposed to answer to now that I'm in this business!"

Just moments ago, Chen Jiajun was gentle and refined, but suddenly his eyes widened, and his face revealed a fierce and murderous aura.

His angry shout immediately startled everyone present.

Ah Zha awkwardly sat back down in his original seat.

Chen Jiajun took a puff of his cigar, changed his tone, and said slowly, "You bunch of Vietnamese bastards, all you do after being brought to Hong Kong by the British is cause trouble."

Let me give you a piece of advice: don't be too complacent, or I'll make things increasingly difficult for you, Yue Nanzi.

"If you're going to be a dog, you have to be prepared to be one."

"have you understood?"

The three Tony brothers immediately blushed.

"Alright, everyone, let's stop with the idle chatter. If neither of you is satisfied, then we can start fighting after you leave the teahouse."

"Tianyang, what do you say?" Xinma Shizeng looked at Jiang Tianyang, his eyes sweeping over the three brothers, his meaning clear: he was to tell Jiang Tianyang to keep his men in check.

In Hong Kong, the wealthier a person is, the less they like the younger one.

Jiang Tianyang picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said, "Ah Jun, I know you were upset that day because I poached two of your gang members, so you said that you killed my brother."

I killed the dinosaur and severely injured Bucky; I've vented my anger.

"In any case, we all come from the same school, so let's keep to ourselves from now on. What do you think?"

Chen Jiajun knew exactly what Jiang Tianyang was thinking. He wanted to calm things down for a while, make some money first, and then start the war.

But since Jiang Tianyang wanted peace for a period of time, Chen Jiajun naturally agreed. Otherwise, how could he lure the snake out of its hole?

Last night, Jiang Tianyang and Yue Nan's gang had so much laundry detergent burned; they'll definitely need to buy a large quantity soon!
Chen Jiajun looked at Jiang Tianyang and smiled: "Alright, since you, Jiang Tianyang, have said so, and with Uncle Xiang here, how can I not give you face?"

Okay, I've vented my anger. From now on, we'll go our separate ways. We'll talk again sometime...

"and many more."

Jiang Tianyang waved his hand and said, "Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Khun Sa asked me to ask you a question: Are you interested in getting rich together?
"The Eight-Faced Buddha will be coming to Hong Kong soon. If you're interested, you can ask him to give you a batch of goods then."

"Jiang Tianyang, I find you to be quite adorable."

"I can easily make hundreds of millions from stocks, why would I bother coming here to fight with a bunch of dogs for food?"

"Hahaha!"

As he spoke, Chen Jiajun stood up, turned around and said, "Alright, you tell General Khun Sa for me that I will definitely go to northern Myanmar to have tea with him when I have time."

"Uncle Xiang, I'm off! It's still early, let's go get some late-night snacks, I'll take you home later."

"Okay!"

Xinma Shizeng stood up and followed Chen Jiajun's steps.

The faces of the three Tony brothers and others turned red and white in turns.

Once the door was closed, Jiang Tianyang looked at Tony and the others and said, "Did you hear that? In Hong Kong, when someone is down on their luck, everyone treats them like a monster."

Without saying a word, A-Zha picked up the teacup on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and then slammed it down.

After leaving Luk Yu Tea House, Chan Ka Chun took Sin Ma Si Tseng to Causeway Bay for hot pot.

"Uncle Xiang, this restaurant has the best beef in Hong Kong! It's all Wagyu beef air-freighted in!"

"Whoo~"

Xinma Shizeng picked up a slice of beef, dipped it in the boiling hot pot, and then immediately put it in his mouth without even having time to respond to Chen Jiajun, nodding repeatedly.

After finishing his meal, he took a sip of Moutai liquor and puffed on a slice of duck from his pipe with relish: "Ah Jun, you specially invited me over for a late-night snack, is it because you're after my shares in SJM Holdings?"

Old people are shrewd, and old ghosts are clever.

Chen Jiajun's age in both his past and present lives is less than that of Xinma Shizeng, who can tell at a glance what Chen Jiajun is up to.

He was the only person in Hong Kong who was officially authorized to smoke opium. In the 1960s, he could beg for millions of dollars every time he dressed up as a beggar at a charity performance!
His subsequent estate dispute sparked a discussion throughout Hong Kong.

"Uncle Xiang, your eyesight is truly remarkable!"

Chen Jiajun gave a thumbs up: "How many shares do you still have in SJM Holdings?"

Xinma Shizeng picked up a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, saying, "7.5%, you spent 300 million to buy Nie Aotian's shares... How about this, let's say my shares are worth 2.25 million, I'll deduct the odd amount and give you 200 million."

Chen Jiajun's eyes widened immediately. He thought to himself that Xin Ma Shizeng was really good at dealing with people. He waived 2500 million HKD for him in one go. He truly deserved to be called the charitable king of opera, praised by everyone in Hong Kong.

Before he could speak, Xinma Shizeng laughed and said, "Don't agree so quickly, I have some conditions."

"Uncle Xiang, please speak."

Chen Jiajun picked up a bottle of Moutai and poured a full glass for Xinma Shizeng.

"I have a charity performance at the end of the year, you have to come and support me. Also, I have a son, Zhaozhun, I spoil him rotten, he's always causing trouble. What will you say if I need your help in the future?"

Xinma Shizeng put forward his conditions.

Deng Zhaozhun was the fourth wife of Xinma Shizeng. She gave birth to their son when he was 51 years old. As a child born late in life, Xinma Shizeng naturally doted on him.

Chan Ka-Chun knew Tang Siu-Chun, who later joined TVB and became a star. His most well-known feat was that he was the one who slept with three women.

He is truly a shining example of manhood!

Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you all good fortune and all your wishes come true in the Year of the Dragon!
