Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

On the other side, at Baron Hewitt's mansion.

His staff brought a young man with them.

"Your Excellency, this is the young talent I mentioned, the one who orchestrated this whole affair. His name is Ye Baoyi. He's a top student in the Finance Department at Hong Kong University," the advisor said with a smile, introducing the young man beside him.

Ye Baoyi was very polite, and greeted He Wei with a smile, saying, "Hello, Baron He Wei."

"Indeed, young and promising." He Wei smiled and gestured for the other person to sit down. "You did a great job. You successfully stopped this guy from sweeping the entire market."

Ye Baoyi shook his head and said, "The other side quickly came up with a countermeasure and implemented a purchase limit policy. We didn't have much effect, unless..."

He Wei waved his hand and said, "Just say what you have to say. Don't hold back in front of me."

“Yes, Baron He Wei.” Ye Baoyi continued, “This strategy will eventually lead to a power struggle, where it comes down to who has more money and who has more goods.”

"If the other party fails to supply enough goods, the damage to the Shenzhou Technology brand will be successful. But conversely, if our cash flow dries up..."

He Wei suddenly burst into laughter: "You don't need to worry about that, that's exactly what I wanted to do. You probably don't know, but Shenzhou Technology's factory is located in a small country like Brunei with a population of less than 50,000. Do you think there won't be any problems with their supply?"

Ye Bao smiled and said, "Since Baron He Wei has made his plans, I won't say anything more. While purchase restrictions might save Shenzhou Technology temporarily, they obviously won't last long. Those distributors won't just sit around making money; they'll definitely continue to cause trouble for Shenzhou Technology."

He Wei said with a smile, "Then we'll wait and see what the show is like."

However, He Wei's wish was destined to be in vain.

He didn't expect that he planned to wage a protracted war, and Chen Jiajun wanted to wage a protracted war with them even more.

They not only supplied goods to distributors like crazy, but also allowed scalpers to buy them at high prices.

Moreover, they expanded their production capacity again and secretly signed an OEM contract with a factory in Shenzhen.

Chen Jiajun has always had good relations with the mainland, so having them do the manufacturing is not a problem at all.

Even some mainland distributors came over, intending to become agents for Shenzhou Technology's Walkmans.

Chen Jiajun did not immediately agree, but postponed the matter.

Entering the mainland market for portable music players requires cumbersome procedures, and now is not the right time.

Moreover, the scalpers in Hong Kong definitely can't handle that many Walkmans. Once they've gone bankrupt, Chen Jiajun can even buy them back from them at a low price.

Then, with this back and forth, we can make a fortune again.

Anyway, with those behind the scenes footing the bill, why not take the free money?

With the implementation of purchase restrictions by Shenzhou Technology Company, sales of Walkmans stabilized.

Although there are still long queues, the situation of not being able to get a machine at all has improved.

This really worried the scalpers.

They originally intended to make a fortune by speculating on Walkmans, and now they are still buying more and more stock.

However, the mall's supply does not seem to have been affected at all.

This resulted in their stockpiled goods being stuck in the warehouse.

These damn scalpers are quite capable; in a short period of time, they managed to hoard over ten thousand Walkmans.

That's a pretty scary number.

But now things are in trouble. The warehouse lease is about to expire, and they still haven't sold any of their goods.

They were all so anxious that they were practically fuming, and went straight to Ye Baoyi.

After all, it was Ye Baoyi who received He Wei's task to gather these scalpers and then get them to take out loans from HSBC.

If these scalpers were to lose this batch of goods, they would be tempted to jump off buildings.

"Mr. Ye, what should we do now? Nobody is taking the goods from us at all," the scalper said to Ye Baoyi with a mournful face.

Ye Baoyi frowned immediately: "How much have you all hoarded in total?"

Several scalpers pooled their money and found that there were more than 10800 portable music players, all brand new and piled up in the warehouse.

Ye Baoyi was still worried, so he followed the scalpers to the warehouse.

Then I randomly picked a few, removed the outer packaging, and carefully inspected them, only to find that there was absolutely no problem.

This was completely unexpected for Ye Baoyi. Only one thought remained in his mind: "The Brunei Kingdom only has 50,000 people. How did they manage to do that?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw Ye Baoyi, and they had to call out to him several times before he came to his senses.

"Mr. Ye, what should we do about this?" Huang Niu asked anxiously.

Ye Baoyi didn't know what to say at the moment.

From the very beginning, He Wei told him that Shenzhou Technology's factory would be located in Brunei, a small country with a population of less than 50,000, and that there would definitely be problems with supply.

Now, not only are there no problems with the supply, but there aren't even any defective products.

What should he do?
Even the information given to him is problematic. Even a god couldn't solve this problem, right?
Just as Ye Baoyi was about to say something vague, he noticed that the scalpers had all gathered around him, staring at him expectantly.

Ye Bao felt a chill run down his spine.

If he doesn't give a clear explanation today, he probably won't be able to leave here.

So Ye Baoyi's mind raced, and he came up with a way to fool them.

"Everyone, please listen to me first."

Ye Baoyi stood on a chair and loudly addressed several scalpers: "I roughly understand their thinking. They want to flood the market with a large quantity of goods to create the illusion of ample supply. To put it simply, they're just stubbornly holding on."

"Now it's a question of who can hold out the longest. If everyone is patient and waits a few more days, things will definitely take a turn for the better."

Ye Baoyi's confident expression immediately made the scalpers hesitate.

However, some shrewd people among the scalpers said: "You make it sound nice, but what if Shenzhou Technology continues to ship products a few days later?"

At this point, everyone realized what was happening and quickly asked, "Yes, yes. What will we do then?"

Ye Baoyi calmly said with Oscar-worthy acting skills, "If I were you, I wouldn't worry about this kind of thing. Doing this kind of business is gambling. If you're not brave enough to gamble, just find someone to take your exit. At most, you'll only lose 20%."

"But when you see others making money, just don't be envious."

Ye Baoyi was extremely malicious. He was already thinking about how to sell these scalpers, so he deliberately used a provocation tactic.

What should he do if these scalpers cash out and leave?
As the saying goes, "It's better to die for your friends than for yourself," Ye Baoyi had no qualms about selling off these speculative scalpers.

As for He Wei, Ye Baoyi has no intention of contacting him anymore.

This matter is destined to fail, and it would be bad if it implicated me.

As for his political future, he shouldn't even think about it.

I'd better just go back to school and stay on as a teacher.

Ye Baoyi's provocation was indeed very effective, causing the scalpers to hesitate on the spot.

Ye Baoyi patted his chest and made a guarantee that Shenzhou Technology would definitely not be able to hold on for more than a few days.

After fooling these scalpers, he turned around and left.

A few days later, scalpers discovered that Shenzhou Technology not only continued to have a stable supply of goods for sale, but even offered a buy-more-get-more promotion.

The scalpers were even more desperate, and they all shouted that they wanted to find Ye Baoyi.

Unfortunately, Ye Baoyi had already run away by then.

Having received the assignment from the Hong Kong University academic exchange group, he led the team directly to the United States and hid there.

Now, those reckless scalpers were completely dumbfounded.
It should be noted that these scalpers were all following Ye Baoyi's instructions.

The company borrowed a significant amount of money from HSBC to make the acquisition, and if it can't repay the loan, the bank won't care.

Thinking of this, a chill ran down the spines of the scalpers.

Similarly, the distributors who purchased large quantities of goods from Shenzhou Technology also suffered the same fate as the scalpers.

They discovered that these damn scalpers wouldn't accept the goods they brought in.

Some scalpers even secretly came over and asked these dealers if they could buy back the products.

This terrified the distributors.

After receiving the news, they didn't dare to tell anyone.

If panic causes these scalpers to go crazy clearing out their inventory, then all of them will be in trouble.

So the distributors gathered together to hold a short meeting.

Inside a hotel suite, several well-dressed dealers looked extremely grim.

They smoked one cigarette after another, but this did not alleviate their worries.

“We were afraid Xu Jiawei would back out, so we deliberately set the compensation amount very high. If Xu Jiawei backs out, he'll have to pay us almost double the amount. And if we back out, we'll have to pay double.” A distributor said with a grim face, “If that really happens, we'll have to give back all the money we've made during this period.”

One distributor, his eyes bloodshot, said, "So what? When those scalpers can't hold on any longer and start dumping their stock on a massive scale, our cash flow will dry up, and that's when we'll really lose everything."

"Everyone, don't get agitated. How about we sell this batch of goods we have to Japan or South Korea?"

Another distributor sneered and said, "You must be dreaming. Don't forget our terms of service. If you really dare to do this, believe me, Shenzhou Technology can sue you into bankruptcy."

Upon hearing this, the distributor trembled with fear.

Shenzhou Technology is backed by Longteng Fund, and it goes without saying whose business Longteng Fund is.

If they really dare to do that, even if they win the lawsuit, they'll probably be followed up by the Hung Hing gangsters.

For a gangster to deal with a businessman is a piece of cake.

After a moment of silence, an older distributor finally spoke up: "There's no other way, we'll have to pay compensation. The sooner this is resolved, the better. Otherwise, things will get complicated once others hear about it."

"Although Mr. Xu of Shenzhou Technology is young, he doesn't seem like someone easy to deal with."

Although everyone was unwilling, they really had no better solution.

So that evening, they invited Xu Jiawei over for drinks.

These distributors aren't fools; they know that going to Xu Jiawei through the proper channels would definitely not yield any pleasantries.

So they used a little trick to lure Xu Jiawei to a nightclub. After a few rounds of drinks, seeing that Xu Jiawei had drunk quite a bit, the distributors finally revealed what had happened.

Xu Jiawei said with dissatisfaction, "I still remember when you guys came to my office and forced me to ship the goods. Now you're doing this again?"

"Mr. Xu, we were just following the trend back then, completely blinded by greed. Please just ignore us and let it go." One of the distributors swallowed his pride and directly toasted Xu Jiawei: "I'll drink this, you can drink as you like."

Xu Jiawei took a sip of the foreign liquor in his glass, but shook his head like a rattle-drum, refusing to let go.

At this point, one of the guys got anxious and quickly said, "Mr. Xu, I'm not asking you to withdraw completely, just 80% of the principal would be enough for you to make a profit, right?"

Xu Jiawei's face immediately darkened, and he stood up unsteadily: "Since that's how you put it, then we have nothing more to talk about."

When they saw Xu Jiawei about to leave, everyone was shocked and tried to comfort him.

As for the idiot who spoke, he was glared at by everyone.

The shrewd guy then simply dropped the matter and brought over a pretty lady to drink and chat.

Basically, they showered Xu Jiawei with compliments and flattery until he was happy, and then brought up the old matter again.

The smarter ones than those fools were the guys who started crying as they talked, saying they had wives and daughters to support and hoped their old brothers would help them out if they went bankrupt.

It was practically a competition to see who could have the worst misery.

"You bunch of bastards, your crying has ruined my mood. Hiccup."

Xu Jiawei said helplessly, "Fine, I'll just take pity on you. I'll pay you 50% of the penalty for breach of contract and return the goods to me. Don't let yourself be used as a pawn in the future."

Upon hearing Xu Jiawei's words, the distributors were filled with gratitude, almost describing him as a living bodhisattva who saved them from suffering.

If they only pay out 50%, they will not only not lose money, but they may even earn less.

This result was beyond their expectations.

So he quickly pulled out the contract, afraid that Xu Jiawei would change his mind after sobering up.
After leaving the nightclub, Xu Jiawei returned to his car and immediately smiled.

The big boss was absolutely right; sure enough, these distributors had already started begging for mercy.

He also remembered Chen Jiajun saying that as long as he agreed to return the goods, these distributors would not only obediently pay back the money, but would even thank them.

Xu Jiawei couldn't help but laugh when he recalled the performance of the distributors in front of him earlier.

Sure enough, these guys will do anything to minimize their losses.

They actually came up with the idea of ​​putting on a melodramatic show for a young man like him.

Chen Jiajun had no intention of driving these distributors to their deaths, since Shenzhou Technology would still need these guys to distribute its products in the future.

A lesson learned is enough.

As for the scalpers, they were Chen Jiajun's main targets.

Regardless of who's behind it, they've already made their move.

Chen Jiajun knew nothing of politeness when it came to his enemies.

This led to scalpers who had bought the goods starting to sell them off at a loss.

They tried to clear out their inventory through various means.

Even if it means losing money, we have to do it.

However, Chan Ka-Chun had already prepared for this and directly dispatched Hung Hing's henchmen.

Anyone who dares to sell Walkmans will be arrested and beaten up without any reasoning.

It wasn't until these scalpers realized that the big boss of Shenzhou Technology was actually Chen Jiajun, the "King of Hong Kong".

No wonder Hung Hing's henchmen mobilized in full force to cause them trouble.

"What the hell are we going to do now?" The group of scalpers gathered together, looking worried. "We're in deep trouble this time."

"Damn it, the few henchmen I sent out to deal with the goods not only got beaten up and hospitalized, but they also had their goods stolen. These Hung Hing guys are too arrogant."

"What? You dare go to the Hung Hing's Loyalty Hall and argue with their leader, Zhu Bei'er?"

"This is going to kill us."

"The only thing we can do is send someone to talk to the people at Shenzhou Technology. After all, this matter needs to be resolved. My warehouse lease is about to expire, and if it drags on any longer, I won't even have the money to rent a warehouse."

"The losses must be quite severe?"

"You still want to make money? You're definitely going to lose money."

Everyone chimed in with their own comments, which only made the group more agitated.

Left with no other choice, they had to select a representative to negotiate with Shenzhou Technology.

We hope that Digital China Technology will repurchase these products.

These scalpers are already prepared to suffer heavy losses.

After all, both the warehouse and the HSBC loan are about to expire.

If they fail to repay on time, their fate will definitely be even more troublesome.

In the president's office of Shenzhou Technology, Xu Jiawei once again saw off a group of distributors.

These guys returned all the goods they had to Xu Jiawei and then paid 70% of the penalty for breach of contract.

That was enough for them to be grateful, and none of them dared to say a single bad word about Shenzhou Technology.

After all, Shenzhou Technology has already shown them leniency. If they really wanted to take drastic measures, none of these distributors would have a good time.

As for the scalpers who come to him, Xu Jiawei doesn't need to be polite at all.

"Oh? Let them wait a bit, let them cool off for a while before we talk," Xu Jiawei said casually.

Then his men invited the scalper's representative into the conference room, without even pouring him a cup of tea.

This is already considered humiliating.

However, the scalpers dared not act, or rather, they lacked the confidence to do so.

Anyway, Shenzhou Technology sold the goods at a price higher than the market price, and recovered most of the funds.

The distributors were reassured and resumed normal supply to various channels in Hong Kong.

Because of Hung Hing, these scalpers' goods cannot be distributed, effectively blocking all their escape routes.

If they don't tolerate it, what can they do?
Xu Jiawei finally arrived after two hours of waiting.

The scalper, who was initially furious, couldn't muster any anger after seeing Xu Jiawei.

Because Xu Jiawei's first words were blunt: "Do you know that what you've done almost ruined the reputation of Shenzhou Technology?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, please be lenient," the scalper's representative said, bowing his head.

"Thirty percent." Xu Jiawei didn't waste any words and directly held up three fingers, saying, "I can buy back the goods you have at thirty percent of the original price."

"Only 30%?" The ox leader's eyes widened immediately.

Xu Jiawei sneered, "Since you're unwilling, there's no need to talk. Amy, see the guest out."

After saying that, Xu Jiawei stood up and told his assistant to see the guests out.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Xu. We need some time to consider this," the scalper said through gritted teeth.

Xu Jiawei said calmly, "Fine, I'll give you one day. Give me your answer by this time tomorrow. Otherwise, I won't wait."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." The scalper said goodbye and left, looking dejected.

After the guy left, Xu Jiawei dialed Chen Jiajun's number: "Boss, things are all settled. These scalpers won't last much longer."

"It's about time," Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

Xu Jiawei said with some concern, "But they have a lot of goods on hand, and they may not be able to sell them all by relying solely on the Hong Kong market."

"After you collect their goods, go to Shenzhen."

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "There are already quite a few distributors over there who are very interested in Walkmans. I believe that with the huge market in mainland China, we can take all of these goods."

"So you had already planned your escape route, boss?" Xu Jiawei said with a look of surprise. "Boss, you are truly a genius who thinks three steps ahead for every step you take."

"Alright, stop flattering me, kid." Chen Jiajun said with a sneer, "The mainland and Hong Kong markets are just the first step. You will be in charge of the entire Asian market from now on. My goal is to have the products distributed throughout Asia."

"Yes, boss." Xu Jiawei said excitedly, "I will definitely do this well."

Chen Jiajun nodded: "I'll leave the affairs of Shenzhou Technology to you. If there's anything you don't understand, read and learn more. If you're unsure about a decision, ask Wei Li for advice."

"Understood, boss," Xu Jiawei said excitedly.

With the big boss's approval, he was now firmly in control of his position as the general manager of Shenzhou Technology's sales department.

If I do a good job, I might have a chance to covet the position of president of Digital China Technology.

New York City, USA.

Early in the morning, a large crowd gathered at the entrance of the "Testing & Science" company.

These people were reporters from major American newspapers, who came specifically to interview Marvin.

"Mr. Marvin, can the detection system you developed really achieve such amazing results? What is the scientific basis for this?" A reporter from The New York Times stepped forward and began interviewing Marvin.

Marvin appeared very confident and composed. He smiled and told the reporter, "That's right. My testing system only requires patients to collect a few drops of blood from their fingertips and send it to a designated location. Four hours later, you can get more than 240 test results, including cholesterol and cancer markers."

“Traditional blood tests require patients to go to medical institutions to have a few milliliters to a dozen milliliters of blood drawn and wait for a dozen to several dozen hours. I think it’s time to phase out this kind of time-consuming and laborious blood test.”

When the reporters heard Marvin boasting, some of them said with suspicion, "But I've heard many experts say that this is absolutely impossible, and they think you're faking it."

Marvin's technique is not fake; in fact, it is based on scientific evidence.

However, both Marvin and his research team knew that while there was evidence to support their claims, it was simply impossible to manufacture the finished product.

That's why Chen Jiajun and Cao Wei chose Ma Wen's company.

Ambiguous techniques are so easy to implement that no one can find fault with them.

Therefore, Marvin confidently stated, "My research papers are all published in academic journals like The Lancet, and I welcome experts from all fields to come and critique them." (End of Chapter)
