Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 254 Disciple
“Talk about cooperation, sure.” Chen Jiajun sneered, “I didn’t get a single penny of what you promised me last time. Let’s talk about this after I get it.”

"This... Sir Chen is asking a bit too much of us," Dawei said with an awkward smile.

"So don't try to play tricks on me. If you want to renegotiate the cooperation, show some sincerity."

Upon hearing this, Dawei felt reassured.

His main purpose in coming today is to continue his connection with Chen Jiajun; everything else can be discussed later.

Dawei smiled and said, "We can discuss that later, as long as Sir Chen doesn't forget that we are his allies."

Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and said, "Looks like you have quite a lot of authority."

Although this David is young, he seems to have a much greater amount of power than Vincent.

"You flatter me, Sir Chen. It's just that the higher-ups trust me," Dawei said with a smile.

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Okay, let's talk about it after you can come up with something that interests me."

"Don't worry, this will definitely be a big deal," Dawei said with a smile.

After his men escorted Dawei away, Chen Jiajun's face darkened, and he immediately summoned Old Prison.

“Old Yu, follow this guy and see who he’s been in contact with,” Chen Jiajun said coldly. “Those CIA bastards are still up to no good. I think they’ve found some connections in Hong Kong again.”

Old Yu nodded, said nothing more, and led his men to follow behind Dawei.

After leaving Guojun Technology's office building, Dawei got into a luxury car.

After driving around in circles for a while and seeing that no one was following them, they finally gave the driver an address.

Soon the car pulled up and stopped in front of an inconspicuous appliance repair shop.

Dawei went to the flower shop next door, bought a bouquet of flowers, and then went into the shop.

There was only one woman in the shop, holding her daughter and minding the store.

The eldest daughter was running around everywhere, and the woman had no time to keep an eye on her.

This family is no different from the lower classes in Hong Kong; they are all struggling to make a living.

Seeing Dawei walk in carrying a bouquet of flowers, the woman asked with some surprise, "Hello, who are you looking for? Are you here to fix something?"

Dawei was wearing an expensive suit, and there was a luxury car parked outside. He didn't look like someone who came to repair appliances at all.

Dawei smiled and said, "Hello, I'm here to see Brother Kun."

"Are you looking for Ah Kun? He went out to fix appliances. Is there anything you need?" the woman asked curiously.

Dawei smiled but didn't say anything. He said to the woman, "Let's wait until Brother Kun comes back before we talk about it."

Dawei wasn't in a hurry, so he simply found a place to sit down and waited for the other person to return.

About an hour later, a man carrying a toolbox and covered in dust rushed back.

He didn't notice Dawei standing to the side, but immediately began to check on his baby daughter in his swaddling clothes.

"Our daughter had some breathing problems again just now," the woman said to the man of the house, almost bursting into tears.

The male homeowner's face also looked very grim: "Let's take him to the hospital first."

"As for the money..." the woman said hesitantly.

The man took a deep breath and said, "I'll try to figure something out."

The woman had no choice but to hail a taxi and rush to the hospital.

Only then did the man notice Dawei sitting next to him: "Hello, who are you?"

Dawei smiled and put down the flowers, then said to the man, "Brother Kun, my name is Dawei. I'm here to invite you to come out of retirement."

Kun's expression immediately changed, and he pretended to be dumb and said, "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Dawei laughed and said, "Brother Kun, I've already come all this way, so don't pretend with me. I was introduced by an acquaintance. They all say that Brother Kun's cooking skills were among the top in the kitchen back in the day."

Upon hearing this, Kun's expression changed drastically: "You've got the wrong person. I'm not a chef. Please get out of here."

Dawei glanced at the room's furnishings and said casually, "Brother Kun, you seem to... really need money right now."

Lin Kun still couldn't trust the guy in front of him: "Money, who doesn't need it?"

Dawei put down the bouquet in his hand, sighed, and said, "Brother Kun, I don't need to tell you how much a heart transplant costs, do I? Your eldest daughter is about to start school. Do you want her to go to one of those rotten public schools and end up hanging out with gangsters as soon as she enters society?"

“Your own health is also in trouble. We’ve seen your medical records; you have kidney failure and need a kidney transplant. These things don’t seem like something that can be solved with just a few hundred thousand dollars.”

Lin Kun's eyes sharpened instantly, and he grabbed Dawei by the collar, saying, "You fucking investigated me?"

Seeing Lin Kun's action, two bodyguards wearing black sunglasses stepped forward beside Dawei.

However, Dawei quickly stopped him: "Step back, don't make a move."

Since their boss had spoken, the bodyguard had no choice but to retreat.

Dawei smiled and said to Lin Kun, "Of course we need to investigate when choosing partners. Besides, Brother Kun, you're no nobody. You were active during the era of the Four Great Detectives. Finding your information wouldn't be difficult at all."

Upon hearing Dawei's words, Lin Kun loosened his collar and said coldly, "This doesn't seem like a cooperative attitude."

Dawei said helplessly, "If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me, Brother Kun." "You will definitely not lose out by cooperating with us. To put it bluntly, only we can solve your situation."

"The medical care in Hong Kong is just so-so. What you need is a better medical environment, such as in the United States."

Hearing Dawei's words, Lin Kun was indeed somewhat tempted.

He's only in his forties, not even halfway through his life, and he doesn't want to court death like that.

She didn't want her newborn daughter to die.

After a moment of silence, Lin Kun said to Dawei, "You want to open a kitchen in Hong Kong? The Hong Kong police and customs are not to be trifled with these days."

Dawei shook his head and said, "It's not just about opening a kitchen. We want you, Kun, to become the king of drugs in Hong Kong."

Lin Kun laughed immediately after hearing this: "Hong Kong is a port city, and there are countless people doing this kind of business. What makes you think you can make me the king of drugs?"

Dawei said calmly, "We naturally have ways to prove it, but the prerequisite is that Brother Kun is willing to cooperate with us."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Kun said, "I will use my own people for the kitchen, the car, and the warehouse. I will buy the raw materials at the market price, and you will give me 70% and you 30%."

Hearing Lin Kun's outrageous demands, Dawei said helplessly, "My boss would never agree to this profit-sharing ratio. It would be better if it were reversed. We can provide you with raw materials and protection for your men. It's a 30/70 split, you get 30% and we get 70%."

“I’m not backed by one or two people, but by a powerful organization. If you do a good job, just the number three is enough for you to live a life of luxury for the rest of your days.”

After listening, Lin Kun frowned and said, "You want to play for high stakes?"

Dawei laughed and said, "If the stakes are too low, why would I need to ask you to come out of retirement?"

"I need to think about it," Lin Kun said, frowning.

Dawei smiled and nodded: "We've already paid your hospital bills, sister-in-law. You can take your time to think about it. I'll wait for your good news."

Hearing this, Lin Kun's expression softened, and he nodded without saying anything more.

Dawei walked out, and none of them noticed that a transparent figure slipped out the instant the door opened.

"So, this Dawei found a drug maker named Lin Kun and is planning to open a 'kitchen' in Hong Kong?" Chen Jiajun said, frowning as he listened to the recording that Lao Yu had brought back.

Old Yu nodded and said, "Judging from what Dawei said, this Lin Kun is no ordinary person."

Chen Jiajun nodded, while Old Yu frowned and said, "This Dawei's ambition is even greater than Vincent's. If we let them continue like this in Hong Kong, it will probably disrupt the balance."

Laundry detergent is a highly profitable product, and every gang wants to get their hands on it.

Chen Jiajun can still keep him in check because the scale is small, but if the profits are truly staggering, then these Hong Kong triads will likely become his supporters very soon.

Chen Jiajun sneered and said, "If they want to take advantage of these turbulent years, then let these foreigners try. I will definitely make them feel extremely satisfied."

Chen Jiajun has never had a good impression of those who sell laundry detergent.

Especially those who want to stir up trouble on their own turf.

This Lin Kun is somewhat special; it's said he's a big shot who was active back in the era of the Four Great Detectives.

To be able to emerge unscathed from such a wave is clearly no simple feat.

"Lin Kun, whose place of origin is unknown, was a chef at Yi Qun's Crippled Ho's 'kitchen' during the era of the Four Great Detectives."

“When he debuted, he was only in his twenties and became the best ‘chef’ in the Yiqun family, and was highly regarded by Limpy Ho and Lei Luo, among others.”

"But this guy is cautious by nature. He keeps the production and distribution firmly in his own hands, and then hands over the finished products to Yiqun's henchmen to sell. So when the four great detectives fell and Limpy Ho was arrested, this guy evaded the sight of the Hong Kong police and disappeared."

"This guy is quite ruthless. In order to get away safely, he didn't even take his own money. That's why the Hong Kong police have never been able to find any evidence against him."

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and said, "Sounds like a tough guy to deal with."

Yachi nodded: "This guy is quite cunning."

Upon hearing Yaqi's words, Chen Jiajun nodded and then called Li Shutang to arrange a meeting.

Having already established a foundation of cooperation, communication between the two parties became much easier.

"You mean, those CIA guys are still up to no good and want to cause trouble in Hong Kong again?" Li Shutang asked, taken aback.

Chen Jiajun, with a cigar in his mouth, said casually, "This time it's done even more discreetly than the Asian Ice Queen incident. That Dawei is probably not an easy opponent to deal with."

Li Shutang's expression immediately turned serious; this was no small matter.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "And this time they've also invited a very important person."

Li Shutang quickly asked, "Who is it?"

“Yi Qun was that extremely skilled ‘chef’ before, whom your police have been unable to catch,” Chen Jiajun said with a hint of enticement.

Upon hearing this news, Li Shutang's eyes lit up.

This is indeed a big fish for the police.

Although Li Shutang played a crucial role in the last Asian Ice Queen incident.

However, due to the suppression from the foreigners, he did not receive any substantial rewards. He didn't even get a raise, let alone a promotion.

If he performs another great service this time, those foreigners will no longer have the right to suppress him.
