Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 261 Our boss wants to see you

"The people from the Ether Society are really something. What Hong Kong King? I'll be the master of Hong Kong!" Du Qi looked at the Guojun Building in the distance, his face full of ambition.

Just as Du Qi was enjoying himself, a phone rang, waking him up.

“Hey Johnny, no problem, I’ll definitely be there on time.” Ducky answered the phone and immediately laughed.

……

"Boss, what should we do later? Should we just let this foreign actor go on stage?" The young demon slave in charge of keeping watch looked at Du Qi's vehicle and asked with great interest.

The Hell Knight in charge of the operation said calmly, "No rush, we're just testing the waters. Let's see what this guy is up to here. As far as I know, this should be the territory of an arms dealer."

"Arms? This guy not only deals in drugs but also arms? Isn't that a bit too audacious?" one of his men said in surprise.

Hell Knight said calmly, "If he really has the Ether Society as his backer, it's not surprising that he's involved in arms dealing. You know, the Ether Society is a crazy organization that dares to instigate wars between two countries just to sell weapons."

……

After entering the restaurant with two of his men, Du Qi immediately frowned.

He muttered in dissatisfaction, "It's neither fish nor fowl, what kind of mess is this?"

The two bodyguards were speechless at their boss's habits. This was their territory, and they had no intention of getting into a conflict with these arms dealers.

Fortunately, no one heard Du Qi's words. After entering the restaurant, someone came over and invited Du Qi into a private room.

"Johnny, it's been a long time."

Upon seeing the man before him, Du Qi immediately opened his arms and gave him a hug.

Johnny Wang was clearly not used to it, but he still hugged him for the sake of cooperation.

After sitting down, Duchi took out a cigar.

The bodyguard immediately took out a lighter and lit it for his boss.

Seeing his demeanor, Johnny Wong frowned, then said sarcastically, "Archie, it seems you've really made it big now, your style is different now."

Du Qi clearly didn't catch Johnny Wang's sarcasm and said smugly, "When you're out in the world, appearances are important. Unlike you, even though you're dressed in a suit and tie, you still can't change your bumpkin look. The restaurant's decor is so awful."

Upon hearing Du Qi's words, Johnny Wang's subordinate immediately became enraged, slamming his hand on the table and cursing, "You bastard, what the hell did you say?"

Johnny Wang, however, remained calm and said with a smile, "Duqi, you didn't come here to comment on the decor of my restaurant, did you?"

Du Qi immediately laughed: "You're in the arms business, of course I'll buy arms from you. How much stock do you have?"

A cold glint flashed in Johnny's eyes: "It seems like no one does business this way, right? You're asking me to sell you weapons right off the bat?"

Du Qi nodded and said with a smile, "I understand the rules."

As he spoke, he took out his checkbook, wrote down a series of numbers, and placed it in front of Johnny Wang.

Johnny Wang's eyes sharpened as he saw the number on the check: "Ducci, what do you mean by this?"

“Isn’t it obvious? I want five million worth of weapons.” Du Qi said provocatively, “Can you handle such a big deal? Oh right, I forgot, you don’t seem to have done such a big deal before.”

If anyone else had dared to speak to him like that, Johnny Wong would have already ordered his men to attack.

But for the sake of the check in front of him, Johnny Wang still suppressed his anger and asked, "Why should I believe you? Just because of this check, you say you have five million?"

“No vision,” Du Qi said casually. “You can have your men verify the Swiss bank draft at any time.”

Seeing Du Qi's arrogant demeanor, Johnny Wang picked up the check and handed it to one of his underlings: "Go check if this check is correct."

The underling grabbed the check and immediately left the restaurant. Then Johnny Wang turned to Du Qi and said, "You used to work for Blackie, and I heard that Eight-Faced Buddha was killed. Have you found a new boss?"

Du Qi laughed and said, "Isn't it obvious? I'm not afraid to tell you, I'll buy all your goods from now on. If you cooperate with me, I guarantee you'll make a fortune."

As the two were talking, Johnny Wong's subordinate walked in with a promissory note and whispered in Johnny Wong's ear, "This promissory note is the real boss."

Seeing Duqi's confident expression, Johnny Wang finally believed that the guy had indeed struck it rich.

He burst into laughter: "Since you're so considerate of your brother, then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll give you your stuff in two batches. I wonder how you're going to handle it?"

Upon hearing Johnny's words, Ducky said with a dissatisfaction, "Why do we have to split it into two groups?"

Johnny Wang explained with a smile: "No one in the entire Hong Kong can produce this batch of goods all at once."

"Is that so?" Du Qi said with a sneer, "I only know one, your boss Guan Shanhai can produce one."

Upon hearing Guan Shanhai's name, Johnny Wang's expression immediately changed: "That old guy is too old. Even if you go to him, I guarantee you won't get anything."

Du Qi didn't argue, but patted Johnny on the shoulder and said, "Johnny, if you don't have enough stock, just rob some. I'll wait for your good news."

Johnny Wong's eyes lit up when he heard Duch's words.

……

"So, that Du Qi is planning to buy weapons?" Chen Jiajun said with some surprise, "Good heavens, is he preparing for war?"

Chen Jiajun stroked his chin. Although he didn't know why, he felt that there was definitely something fishy about this.

After all, the Ether Society started out selling weapons and laundry detergent, so they have no need to come here to buy weapons.

unless……

Chen Jiajun thought of a possibility, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He then said to Old Prison and Hell Knight, "Although I don't know what they're planning to do yet, I don't want them to make this deal."

Old Prison paused for a moment and said, "You mean, we're sabotaging things in secret?"

"According to the information you sent back, Duchi needs a huge amount of weapons, which Johnny Wang's channels alone certainly cannot meet."

Chen Jiajun calmly analyzed, "So Johnny Wang will definitely make a move against his boss Guan Shan Hai. All we need to do is protect Guan Shan Hai's life."

"When this guy fails to complete the mission, someone will naturally contact him. So during this time, you guys are responsible for monitoring that bastard Duqi. I'll have Old Prison take some men to handle Johnny Wang."

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Lao Yu nodded and said, "I understand, boss. I will keep a close eye on Du Qi."

After Old Yu left, Chen Jiajun looked at the night view of Hong Kong and believed that it wouldn't be long before chaos broke out here again.

Meanwhile, Johnny Wong called a meeting with his men.

A deal worth five million is already a very big deal for them.

His underlings all seemed extremely excited.

However, some insightful people said, "Johnny, if we supply this batch of goods, what will happen to our customers in Central America? That's a route we worked so hard to develop."

As a former subordinate of Guan Shanhai, Johnny Wang naturally had a considerable number of clients since he dared to go it alone.

Giving up existing clients for this one order is clearly not a worthwhile investment.

At this moment, another henchman said with a relaxed expression, "Just like that arrogant guy Du Qi said, if we don't have enough, we'll just rob them. I don't believe anyone is more ruthless than us."

Johnny Wang rejected the suggestion outright: "Don't do anything for now. We haven't figured out what happened at Yunlai Teahouse yet, and the Hong Kong police are keeping a close eye on us lately."

Johnny Wang was referring to a recent shooting incident that occurred at Yunlai Teahouse.

Several police officers were killed in the gunfight; it's no wonder the police were keeping a close eye on them.
However, just because you can't do it yourself doesn't mean you can't let others do it for you.

Take, for example, A Lang, one of Guan Shan Hai's capable subordinates.

This kid recently took down one of Johnny Wong's henchmen, so you could say he has a big reputation in the underworld.

He can be considered a truly ruthless person.

Johnny originally wanted to find someone to kill this bastard.

But just then, Ducky's problem came knocking, and Johnny Wong came up with a brilliant idea.

Kill with a borrowed knife.

Just as Johnny was pondering this, the hotel doors opened.

A young man was ushered in by the waiter.

"Ah Lang?" At this moment, Johnny's bodyguard frowned and said to Johnny, "Johnny, do you believe Ah Lang?"

Johnny Wang said calmly, "Let's take a gamble. Third Brother is dead, and we need some tough guys."

Seeing that Johnny Wang had made his decision, his men didn't say anything more.

Soon, a young man named Ah Lang came over. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Johnny Wang got straight to the point.

He grew up on the streets and knew what these gangsters needed most.

It's nothing more than money and power.

Keep in mind that the current property prices in Hong Kong are only a few thousand dollars per square foot.

Surprisingly, Ah Lang did not agree, showing a rather stubborn and unyielding attitude.

This infuriated Johnny.

When bribery failed, Johnny Wang resorted to threats: "Do you know how much money I spent to poach that mustache guy you killed? He was the one who planned out many big deals for me, and you just shot him dead."

As soon as Johnny Wong said that, his henchmen all stared at Ah Lang with predatory eyes.

If he gives even one wrong answer, Ah Lang will be kept here today.

Ah Lang seemed a little nervous and didn't speak immediately.

Johnny continued to advise, "When you're out in the game, it's all business. You either make money or you lose money. I have the utmost respect for those who have real ability."

Ah Lang was silent for a moment, then smiled and said as if he had been persuaded, "But I'm not here to do business with you today, I'm here to make friends with you."

“Okay.” Johnny was overjoyed. “I’ll be your friend.”

As they spoke, their hands clasped tightly together.

Meanwhile, in Du Qi's mansion, after receiving a phone call, Du Qi dismissed his two bodyguards and sat down in front of his computer.

Several virtual characters appeared on the screen; their faces were not visible, but their voices could be heard.

"Du Qi, how's the situation in Hong Kong going?" a woman's voice asked directly in English.

Du Qi said with a smile, "With millions of dollars thrown at it, those arms dealers can't help but be tempted. I reckon that Johnny Wang will soon be unable to resist making a move against Guan Shanhai."

"Good." The woman seemed quite satisfied. "As long as we destroy Guan Shanhai's business, our arms can be shipped directly to Southeast Asia. By the way, is Johnny Wang easy to control?"

After thinking for a moment, Du Qi said, "This Johnny Wang is not easy to deal with; he's a money-grubber."

At this moment, another figure spoke up, saying, "This person cannot be allowed to live."

“Thompson is right, Johnny Wong has terrible discipline, we won’t consider recruiting him into the organization.” Another man with a deep voice added, “Besides, he’s a gangster, which doesn’t fit our style.”

"Since none of the three of you recommend absorbing Johnny Wang, then let's just kill him after this is all over." Seeing that the three disagreed, the woman shrugged and said decisively, "Tony, you find someone to take charge of this."

At this moment, the young man among the four figures laughed and said, "No problem, he's just a small arms dealer with no special background. We can take care of him with an assassin."

"After Johnny Wang dies, you will be responsible for consolidating his power and bringing it into our hands."

Du Qi nodded and said, "No problem, I know what to do."

"Haha. Well then, I wish you the best of luck on your mission." Tony raised his glass in a gesture of respect.

After the group shared a drink across the screen, they hung up.

"So, this kid is planning to have Johnny Wang take action against Guan Shanhai?" Chen Jiajun said with some surprise after hearing Lao Yu's report.

Old Yu nodded: "Johnny Wang isn't stupid either. Because of the shooting at Yunlai Teahouse, he's being closely watched by the police, so he contacted Guan Shanhai's henchman, Ah Lang."

"I think they'll find an opportunity to make their move in the next few days."

Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and said, "As expected, there aren't any idiots among them."

Old Prison suggested directly, "Boss, why don't we just take out Johnny Wang?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "Things aren't that simple. Why did your Ether Society send Du Qi to Johnny Wang to buy weapons?"

Old Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized: "Could it be... that these guys from the Ether Society want to swallow up the entire arms trade in Hong Kong?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "So, Guan Shanhai can't die, and Johnny Wang can't be taken down so easily. We need to let them know who's behind this."

Old Yu nodded, understanding what Chen Jiajun meant.

"Keep an eye on Du Qi. As soon as Johnny Wang is about to make a move, notify Old Yu and have him bring men to rescue Guan Shan Hai. I plan to have a talk with that old guy myself," Chen Jiajun instructed.

Meanwhile, Johnny Wang was already preparing to make his move.

Seeing his men preparing to act, Johnny took out his phone and dialed Ah Lang's number: "I need your help with something tonight. I don't think you'll refuse, right?"

Ah Lang, on the other end of the phone, had already guessed that Johnny Wang wanted to take action against Guan Shan Hai. He paused for a moment before saying, "Okay."

“I’ll send someone to pick you up.” Johnny Wang nodded, then had his men drive to pick up Ah Lang.

An hour later, Johnny Wang took Ah Lang directly to Ping Chau Pier.

That was Guan Shanhai's warehouse, and also where he stored his weapons.

Looking in the direction the vehicle was heading, Ah Lang couldn't help but say, "You're not asking me to wreck Uncle Hai's warehouse, are you?"

“That’s right, and I even want you to kill him. I’m not forcing you, I just want to see if we can still be brothers.”

Johnny Wang then pulled out a pistol and placed it in front of Ah Lang: "I've always admired you. Either you fight alongside me to conquer the world, or you shoot me in the back and I'll die without regrets."

Johnny Wang genuinely admires Ah Lang's skills and is sincerely trying to recruit him this time.

After a moment of silence, Ah Lang said, "I have my own gun."

"Hahaha."

Johnny Wong quickly led his men to Guan Shanhai's warehouse.

His men barged in and opened fire on everyone they saw.

Guan Shanhai had a lot of manpower in his warehouse, but due to the sudden attack, most of them were killed or wounded before they even had time to react. The remaining men had not yet organized a defense line before they were directly defeated by Johnny Wang's leader, Longhair, and his men.

In less than ten minutes, the warehouse was completely emptied.

Johnny Wang shouted, "Take all the goods and load them onto the truck!"

Then he turned around, patted Ah Lang on the shoulder, and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."

Ah Lang's expression was complicated, and he couldn't say anything for a moment.

Besides being Guan Shan Hai Tou Ma, Ah Lang also has another identity: an undercover police officer.

Thinking of how Guan Shanhai had taken care of him, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.

However, things have already developed to this point, and it's completely beyond Ah Lang's control.

If he doesn't help Johnny Wang kill Guan Shanhai today, he himself will die first.

Don't be fooled by Johnny Wong's eloquent words. If he were to actually do something, his men would tear him to shreds without Johnny Wong lifting a finger.

Looking at the large amount of weaponry around him, Johnny Wang seemed very happy: "Ah Lang, my performance is over, now it's your turn."

Ah Lang tried to persuade him, saying, "You've already broken one of his arms, let him live."

Johnny Wang's eyes were fierce: "When he has a gun, would he spare my life? That old bastard is getting in my way, I'll kill him."

Seeing Ah Lang remain silent, Johnny Wang leaned against the car and said, "I consider you one of my own. Whether we can be brothers now depends on you."

Johnny Wang then ordered all his men to disperse, preparing to ambush Guan Shanhai.

After a long silence, Ah Lang finally took out his phone and notified Guan Shanhai.

A dozen minutes later, Guan Shanhai and his men rushed to the warehouse.

Guan Shanhai himself was surprised to see the warehouse that had been emptied.

But before the old man could be surprised for long, a large number of enemies suddenly rushed out from all directions.

It was Johnny Wang lying in ambush.

Johnny Wang was ruthless and took down Guan Shanhai's men who were guarding outside the warehouse first.

Then he led his men to surround Guan Shanhai and his group.

Guan Shanhai looked at A Lang in disbelief at the scene before him.

Hai Shu's subordinate, Ahua, was furious. He pulled out a gun, pointed it at Alang's head, and said viciously, "Alang, you traitor!"

But Guan Shanhai looked around and knew that there was no way to escape tonight: "Put down your guns."

Then Guan Shanhai walked up to A Lang and said, "A Lang, it seems I'm doomed tonight?"

Ah Lang felt guilty and remained silent.

At this moment, Johnny Wang came out and said to Guan Shanhai with a smug look on his face, "Uncle Hai, is dropping the gun like this a sign of surrender? Or are you afraid of dying?"

Guan Shanhai stopped his men from engaging in a bloody battle, then said to Johnny Wang, "I'm willing to die, but how about sparing my brothers?"

Unfortunately, since Johnny Wong had already taken action, he naturally wanted to eliminate the threat completely.

Just as they were about to order someone to shoot and kill Guan Shanhai and his group.

Suddenly, a cylindrical object was thrown down from above the warehouse.

Some emitted bright flashes of light, while others billowed out thick smoke.

Johnny Wang's men were just a bunch of gunmen who had never seen anything like this before, and they immediately panicked.

Then several figures fell from above the warehouse and opened fire on Johnny Wong's men.

After clearing out the surrounding enemies, the group grabbed Guan Shanhai and ran out of the warehouse.

Johnny Wang, who was stunned by the attack, finally realized what was happening and immediately mobilized his men to prepare for an ambush.

However, this group's tactical skills were quite terrifying. Whenever Johnny Wong's men were about to gather, they would throw a grenade at him.

After Johnny Wong gathered his men, Guan Shanhai and the others were nowhere to be seen.

"Damn it!" Johnny Wang roared, kicking a wrecked car next to him.

On the other side, Guan Shanhai had already been taken into the car.

He looked at the men in front of him with surprise and said, "How could it be you?"

Old Prison is one of the current leaders of Hung Hing, and many people know him.

Old Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Guan, our boss would like to see you."

"Chen Jiajun?" Guan Shanhai was even more surprised, after all, he had no connection with Chen Jiajun.

Inside the chairman's office of Guojun Group.

Chen Jiajun received Guan Shanhai.

"Sir Chen, I never imagined I'd owe you such a huge favor on our first meeting," Guan Shanhai said with considerable emotion.

If it weren't for Chen Jiajun, Guan Shanhai would have really died at Johnny Wang's hands.

"Not at all, I've long heard of Mr. Guan's reputation. This is just a coincidence."

Guan Shanhai said with a serious expression, "As long as Sir Chen has any orders, Guan Shanhai will not hesitate."

Guan Shanhai is a man of great loyalty and affection.
