Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 249 The First President
Two RPGs cleared the way, blowing over the first two transport vehicles and blocking their path.

Then Doom, armed with a heavy machine gun, led his young demon slaves and charged straight in.

Dozens of burly men, each nearly two meters tall and wielding a heavy machine gun in one hand, opened fire on the convoy.

Such a scene left not only the natives of Brunei speechless, but even He Guorong was somewhat dumbfounded.

The scene before him was simply too shocking for him.

In just two minutes of firing, not a single car in the convoy was intact, except for Richard's vehicle.

Doom smacked his lips, still wanting more, and said, "We brought too many people. I should have known that fifty would have been enough."

Doom threw down the heavy machine gun, which was now empty of bullets, and walked toward Richard's car.

Richard was terrified and huddled in the car, trembling with fear.

His driver was even more terrified; he wet himself in the car.

Doom ripped the car door off and looked at Richard inside, saying, "You're the Sultan of Brunei?"

Richard nearly fainted when he saw the fierce-looking, burly man in front of him.

He only snapped out of his daze when Doom impatiently asked him again, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, no... don't kill me."

"Coward."

Doom spat dismissively, then stretched out his large, fan-like hand and pulled Richard out of the car.

This action is like picking up a chick.

"Consider yourself lucky, you're not going to die anytime soon." Doom chuckled, then tossed Richard to He Guorong beside him: "This guy's yours. The boss said you should make the most of him."

……

The battlefield wasn't too far from the hotel; the intense gunfire could be heard by anyone.

Richard's own staff, in particular, were well aware of the capabilities of Richard's men.

It's absolutely impossible to cause such a commotion, so there's only one possibility.

It turned out that the one who made the move was one of the young man Li Yaohua's side.
The first people to appear before everyone were Chen Jiajun's men.

His terrifying height and powerful physique immediately left a deep impression on everyone present.
There's no other word to describe these fully armed, burly men except for "fierce."

Immediately afterwards, He Guorong helped Richard out of the car, then handed him to Li Yaohua, and whispered a reminder: "Do it neatly."

Li Yaohua ignored He Guorong and stared intently at Richard in front of him with hateful eyes.

Thinking about how this guy had destroyed his once happy family, Li Yaohua clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could kill the bastard right now.

A moment later, he suppressed his murderous intent and ordered Richard to be imprisoned. Then, he loudly addressed everyone present—Chinese, natives, and English—saying, “Tyrant Richard has been captured. I will hold a public trial for him in his palace in three days. I hope that everyone here today will be able to attend.”

Upon hearing Li Yaohua's words, everyone present couldn't help but applaud.

Clearly, subconsciously, they regarded Li Yaohua as the highest leader here.

Meanwhile, the aide standing to the side felt a strange sensation as he watched his former master's fate unfold.

Thinking back on Li Yaohua's actions during this period, the staff couldn't help but feel a chill.

The events on Brunei Island... no, the coup d'état is over.

A small country with only 50,000 people wouldn't normally cause much of a stir.

Apart from the nominal monarchy of England, almost no one pays attention to what's happening here anymore.

Now that the Civil Society has seized power, even the English can't say much.

Three days later, outside Richard's palace, Li Yaohua brought Richard in.

Although Richard appeared very weak at this moment, his sinister demeanor remained unchanged.

"You bastard, I shouldn't have only killed your parents, I should have killed you, you little bastard, too."

Faced with Richard's curses, Li Yaohua remained calm: "I know what you're afraid of, and I know you want to provoke me into killing you, but it's not that simple. People like you deserve to be judged by everyone, and I'm going to tear off all the fig leaves covering you."

"I'm going to kill you, kill you!" Richard struggled and lunged forward, wanting to die together with Li Yaohua.

Unfortunately, his hands and feet were shackled, and he was accompanied by one of Doom's personal guards.

Seeing Richard thrown to the ground by his bodyguards, Li Yaohua coldly said to those behind him, "Well, have you listed all his crimes?"

“It’s ready, Your Excellency,” came the aide’s voice from behind Richard.

Richard's eyes widened instantly as he stared intently at his aide and said, "Even you betrayed me, Cato."

The aide, Kato, adjusted his glasses: "The victor is king, the loser is villain."

“You…you traitor, I brought you out of the slums when you couldn’t afford to eat, gave you food and an education, and this is how you repay me?” Richard said with a sorrowful expression.

Kato nodded and said, "Indeed, I am grateful to you for bringing me out of the slums, but... you lost, and I don't want to die for you."

After saying that, Kato ignored Richard and picked up the documents, following behind Li Yaohua.

By this time, the square outside the palace was already crowded with people, including local natives and Chinese.

Richard was quickly dragged out by his guards and placed on a specially made guillotine.

As Richard's aide, Cato began reading out Richard's charges.

Then, when the guillotine came down, everyone burst into cheers.

Li Yaohua stood to the side, coldly observing everything before him.

Richard's death signifies the rebirth of Brunei.

Li Yaohua abolished all previous feudal systems and replaced them with a political party system.

Li Yaohua himself became the first president of Brunei.

Richard's palace was also converted into the president's office building.

That night, Li Yaohua held a banquet at the Presidential Palace to celebrate the day he was freed from the tyrant's control.

Everyone had a great time, their faces beaming with smiles.

However, Li Yaohua felt empty. His goal had always been revenge, but now that he had achieved it, he couldn't find a goal anymore.

"Your Excellency, you seem quite unhappy," He Guorong said with a smile, bringing over a glass of red wine. Li Yaohua didn't hide anything from He Guorong and said directly, "I thought I would be very happy to have avenged my great enemy, but now I only feel emptiness."

“It’s normal. You’ll get used to it.” He Guorong said with a smile, “But you have to be on your guard, things are far from over.”

As he spoke, He Guorong gave him a wink, and Li Yaohua then saw several of the original members of the Citizens' Society talking together.

A cold glint flashed in Li Yaohua's eyes, and his face clearly showed his displeasure.

Before the banquet even started, these old men had come to him, hoping to return their family property to them.

He also hopes to hold an important position in the new government.

That greedy look disgusted Li Yaohua.

You should know that these old men did nothing during the coup in Brunei; in fact, Li Yaohua saved their lives.

The regime is not yet stable, and these old fogies are already jumping out to "divide the spoils" and reap the rewards.

Isn't this treating him like a sucker?
"No rush, let's talk to the boss first and then we'll deal with them for a while."

He Guorong gave a thumbs-up and said, "A smart person."

Soon after, Ho Kwok-wing took some time to return to Hong Kong and personally reported the matter to Chan Ka-chun.

Chen Jiajun was very satisfied with Li Yaohua's attitude; this young man was very clear-headed.

He did not change his attitude toward himself after becoming president.

"Tell Li Yaohua that apart from having the security company take over Brunei's defense, I won't interfere too much in his other affairs."

"If he's going to take action, just notify the security company to cooperate with his operation."

After He Guorong left, Chen Jiajun called Wei Li over.

"Things in Brunei are almost settled, and we can begin our plan now," Chen Jiajun said to Wei Li with a smile. "It's always been the British who annoy us; now it's our turn to annoy them."

Welly immediately grinned and said, "I bet those Englishmen will be furious when they find out the truth."

The following day, the board of directors of CLP Power submitted a draft.

This draft is a measure targeting the Brunei Industrial Fund.

"The chairman has reached an agreement with the President of Brunei, and our China Power Company will make an investment in Brunei's national power company." At the press conference, Wei Li personally announced the news with a serious expression, saying, "This will be a five-year investment worth five billion."

Upon hearing this extravagant gesture, the reporters present gasped in surprise.

The members of CLP Power also appeared very excited.

Subsequently, Guojun Electronics and Tesla also announced plans to establish new industrial bases in Brunei, which surprised many people.

In particular, those in the know understood that England had always coveted the companies under Chen Jiajun's name, and assumed that Chen Jiajun would eventually yield to the English.

But unexpectedly, Chen Jiajun made a feint and went to Brunei to invest heavily.

Such a move is undoubtedly a slap in the face to the British.

It is said that the Governor of Hong Kong, upon receiving the news that day, smashed his own desk.

Unfortunately, they still couldn't do anything about Chen Jiajun.

According to the provisions of the "Withdrawal Act," these foreigners not only cannot prevent Chen Jiajun from openly transferring his assets to Brunei, but they must also provide strong support for it.

After all, Brunei was still a British colony at the time.

At this particular time, Chen Jiajun transferred his assets to Brunei. No one would believe he didn't do it on purpose.

The Governor of Hong Kong knew that this was Chan Ka-chun's retaliation, a deliberate attempt to annoy them.

But... they were genuinely disgusted.

In the following period, the company's stock price began to rise steadily.

In the last battle between Chen Jiajun and the Kadoorie family, the company was completely destroyed.

The price per share has fallen below ten dollars, and it's just short of going bankrupt and being delisted.

However, this news greatly stimulated the stock price recovery.

During the market closure that day, the share price of CLP Power had hit the daily limit for three consecutive days.

This sudden fluctuation has left financial institutions that had planned to short the market in dire straits.

With China Power Company's stock price steadily improving, Chen Jiajun personally intervened to boost the company's share price, which drove several financial institutions that were shorting China Power Company to the brink of suicide.

In the end, the only option was to cut losses and close out the position to prevent further losses.

In Hong Kong, Chen Jiajun made a big fuss about the Brunei issue.

Meanwhile, things weren't peaceful in Brunei either.

In particular, the issue of the ruling Citizens' Society in Brunei has greatly angered President Lee Yao Hua.

First, they made a fuss, demanding that Li Yaohua take out all the family property that Richard had forcibly seized from them and distribute it to them free of charge.

There's no problem with the properties Richard seized; they were originally their ancestral property, and Li Yaohua had planned to return them to them.

However, their savings and such matters are a bit complicated.

After Richard squeezed all the money out of them, he used most of it to bribe the Englishmen.

How could Li Yaohua possibly come up with this money?

Another issue is the position of the new government.

Li Yaohua had always disapproved of the rampant corruption among these locals, so how could he possibly replace them with another batch of parasites?
This has been the first or second time that meetings have been held for this kind of matter, which has greatly slowed down Li Yaohua's governance of Brunei.

Fortunately, Ho Kwok-wing returned soon, bringing with him a message from Chan Ka-chun.

This also allowed Li Yaohua to breathe a long sigh of relief.

Seeing Li Yaohua's troubled expression, He Guorong chuckled and said, "Do you regret getting involved in the ruling party's affairs back then?"

Li Yaohua shook his head and said, "No, this step is necessary. If we follow the old path, we won't get the support of so many people internationally."

"As for those parasites in the Citizens' Society, since the boss is willing to let me deal with them, then things will be much easier." Li Yaohua's words contained a hint of murderous intent.
