Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 255 Waiting for the opportunity
Thinking of this, Li Shutang stared at Chen Jiajun and said, "Sir Chen, do you want to cooperate with the police again?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "As I said before, I am a businessman and I like a stable and peaceful environment."

"And have you considered what Hong Kong would become if this kitchen were actually set up?"

Li Shutang fully agreed with Chen Jiajun's statement.

After pondering for a moment, Li Shutang said, "What do you want me to do?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Since they chose to cooperate with a big shot like Lin Kun, they will naturally start recruiting. You send an undercover agent to infiltrate and follow Lin Kun. When the time is right, the two of us will work together to wipe them out."

Li Shutang stared at Chen Jiajun and said, "So, why did you ask me to cooperate? Are you trying to profit from this again?"

Li Shutang wasn't stupid; he reviewed the events surrounding the Asian Ice Queen afterward.

They discovered that the biggest winner wasn't themselves or the police, but rather Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun laughed: "You make it sound like you didn't get any benefit from it."

“But the credit I’ve earned is far less than what you’ve achieved,” Li Shutang said pointedly.

Chen Jiajun shrugged and said, "If you think it's not worth it, then just pretend I didn't say anything today, or... you can try to investigate it yourself, right?"

Since he had the initiative in his own hands, Chen Jiajun seemed somewhat unscrupulous.

After a moment of silence, Li Shutang said, "Alright, I'll cooperate with you. Who is that guy?"

Chen Jiajun immediately smiled: "The owner of an inconspicuous appliance repair shop, I guess he's building his team right now, this is the best time to send someone in."

Just as Chen Jiajun said, Lin Kun is preparing to build his own team.

He prefers to work with people he knows rather than outsiders.

So Lin Kun brought back the "kitchen chef" who had learned from him and the assistant who was in charge of transporting raw materials.

These two were his best friends back then, and it was only because of Lin Kun's vigilance that they were able to escape with their lives.

Lin Kun arranged to meet the two at a small restaurant in a fishing village in the New Territories harbor.

"Brother Kun, it's been a long time." The first person to come over was the "chef" who used to be his apprentice.

The old man was older than Lin Kun; he was almost sixty years old today, and his hair was already gray.

He wore a pair of broken glasses and walked with a limp, so he didn't seem to be doing very well.

Lin Kun greeted him with a smile and then started chatting with the "chef".

"What happened to your leg?" Lin Kun asked, noticing the chef limping.

The chef smiled awkwardly and said he had fallen.

But Lin Kun, having been around for so long, immediately saw through this nonsense: "What's going on? You don't even trust me anymore?"

The chef had no choice but to say, "I was interrupted and I have a lot of gambling debts."

Lin Kun was speechless upon hearing this, but it was also within his expectations.

Soon the last person arrived; he was called Ah Qiu, who was in charge of the warehouse and was very tight-lipped.

Many people wanted to investigate Lin Kun's warehouse back then, but none of them could find anything.

"Are you preparing to make a comeback?" A-Qiu asked directly as he sat down.

Lin Kun did not deny it and said directly, "My family needs the money."

The two of them tacitly avoided asking who they were collaborating with.

Ah Qiu said casually, "I have two warehouses now, specializing in the business of chilled and frozen goods. The conditions here are quite good for the warehouses."

Lin Kun nodded and turned his gaze to the chef.

The chef quickly added, "I'm getting old and might not be able to handle it alone. If Brother Kun really wants to do it, I can call two of my nephews from my hometown to help. They're both country folk, timid, and won't say anything out of line."

Lin Kun nodded upon hearing their words: "Very good. Now all that's missing are the porters. I'll personally take charge of this. You two get the warehouse and kitchen up and running first. I'll coordinate everything else."

After saying that, Lin Kun took out two stacks of banknotes and placed them on the table.

The two men's eyes lit up immediately, and they picked up the banknotes and said to Lin Kun, "Understood, Brother Kun."

With the kitchen and warehouse settled, Lin Kun's small team was almost fully organized.

As for the porters, Lin Kun had his own methods.

Unlike the two important links, anyone can be a porter.

Even if he were to abandon them at any time, it wouldn't be a problem. Lin Kun planned to go out on the streets to find those gangsters.

After all, college students might be hard to find these days, but gangsters are everywhere.

After driving back to Wan Chai, Lin Kun first went to see his wife and daughter.

Dawei has already paid his hospital fees. As long as he stays in the hospital for observation for a couple more days, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Lin Kun's wife asked curiously, "Honey, where did you get this money? Hospital fees aren't cheap."

Lin Kun casually replied, "I borrowed it from a friend, so you don't need to worry."

After visiting his wife and hiring a caregiver, Lin Kun prepared to drive home.

He still needs to think carefully about business matters.

But just as he got into the car, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

Lin Kun turned his head and saw a group of thugs cornering a scoundrel in an alley, punching and kicking him. "Tell me, where did you hide the stuff?"

The gangster, holding a machete, pulled the thug up from the ground.

Then they held a knife to his neck and interrogated him.

Unfortunately, the rascal chuckled and said, "I promised to protect something, why would I tell you?"

"So you're asking for trouble after refusing a toast," the gangster sneered, brandishing a knife at his body.

But to everyone's surprise, the scoundrel simply closed his eyes, remained silent, and prepared to fight to the bitter end.

This left the gangsters at a loss; they couldn't exactly kill people on the street, could they?

Left with no other choice, he gave the thugs a good beating and then left with his men.

Lin Kun, seeing this scene, immediately became interested.

Because he saw a reflection of his younger self in this scoundrel.

So he stepped forward and asked, "Young man, are you alright?"

Lin Kun helped the rascal up and sat him down next to him, then handed him a bottle of water.

The rascal took a sip and said, "Thanks."

Lin Kun said with a smile, "What? Are you being chased by debt collectors?"

The scoundrel nodded helplessly: "I owe loan sharks and can't pay them back."

After chatting for a while, Lin Kun managed to extract some basic information about the young man from him.

This scoundrel is called Ah Li, and he's a kid from the housing estate.

He dropped out of high school and started hanging out with his older brother, but he was unlucky enough to end up with a loser boss.

My dad is a gambler who owes money everywhere. When people can't find him, he takes it out on them.

Such scoundrels are everywhere on the streets these days, so Lin Kun wasn't surprised at all.

However, seeing that the kid was quite clever, calling him "Big Brother" repeatedly and keeping his mouth shut, Lin Kun had an idea.

"You have nowhere to go right now, so why don't you just come with me?" Lin Kun said casually, holding his wine glass.

Ali asked in surprise, "Brother, you're also involved in the underworld?"

Lin Kun smiled and shook his head: "You don't need to ask that. As long as you follow me, I can't guarantee you anything else, but you'll be able to earn at least this much every month."

As he spoke, Lin Kun held up one finger.

Ali asked naively, "One thousand?"

"At least ten thousand," Lin Kun said with a laugh.

Ali seemed shocked by the number, swallowed hard, and said, "Really that many?"

"What do you have that I could possibly lie to?" Lin Kun said with a half-smile.

Ali nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll do it."

"Smart. As long as you work hard, you'll definitely be treated well in the future," Lin Kun said, patting Ali on the shoulder.

Lin Kun's business quickly got on track, and with the raw materials supplied by Dawei, he was able to get started very quickly.

After all, he was a long-time drug lord with extensive connections, and the first batch of goods was quickly sent out.

The influx of such a large quantity of goods into the Hong Kong market quickly attracted the attention of many people.

However, no matter how hard these people searched, they couldn't find any trace of Lin Kun. They even managed to capture several deliverymen, but they couldn't get any information out of them.

This left the drug dealers who dined in Hong Kong feeling quite frustrated.

“Ah Da, Lin Kun has recently started shipping out his goods.” Yaqi said to Chen Jiajun, “At this rate, they will soon overwhelm all the big and small vendors in Hong Kong.”

Chen Jiajun sneered and said, "That's exactly the result Dawei wanted, so he could control Hong Kong and turn it into their distribution center. Have you found where they store their raw materials?"

Yachi frowned and said, "We've made some progress; we'll be traveling by water."

"Huh? By water?" Chen Jiajun seemed somewhat surprised.

Yachi laughed and said, "It's safe because no one would think of it. I suspect that Dawei bribed the marine police."

“Find an opportunity to sink their ship. I want to see Lin Kun’s reaction.” After thinking for a moment, Chen Jiajun said to Yaqi, “In my opinion, Lin Kun doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who’s willing to be manipulated.”

"You mean, Lin Kun will betray us?" Yaqi asked, somewhat surprised.

Chen Jiajun said with a sneer, "A guy who can rise through the ranks since the era of the Four Great Detectives is obviously not the kind of person who is willing to be a lackey. We'll wait until they fight like dogs before we make our move."

CIA activities naturally clash with Chen Jiajun's.

Previously, Chen Jiajun was not yet fully established and could only feign compliance with others.

Now he is waiting for the base in Brunei to be completed.

Once his Brunei base is completed, Chen Jiajun will be ready to turn against the CIA.

It's important to know that Chen Jiajun has never been the type to just take a beating without fighting back.
