Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

When they arrived at Lu Hantao's house, they found the old man drinking tea.

Chen Jiajun sat down without ceremony, picked up the teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Lu Hantao said irritably, "It's a waste to let you drink my good tea. What a pity for my good tea."

"I'll have someone send you a few dozen kilograms later." Chen Jiajun said with a sneer, "You're stingy."

"Hmph. Where's Ayu? She hasn't come back again?" Lu Hantao said to Chen Jiajun, his tone disapproving.

Chen Jiajun leaned back in his chair, looking like a scoundrel, and said, "With your attitude, if I were Ayu, I wouldn't have come back either. Who told you to always lecture her?"

"I don't want to see my daughter messing around with you. Humph," Lu Hantao said with a displeased look.

After exchanging a few words, Lu Hantao said to Chen Jiajun, "What, are you here to find out about Ding Quan too?"

"Ding Quan? What Ding Quan?" Chen Jiajun was taken aback.

"You still don't know?" Lu Hantao said with a strange look.

Chen Jiajun looked puzzled: "I really don't know, is there some kind of explanation?"

Lu Hantao sighed and said, "This story begins in 72."

In 1972, the Hong Kong British government developed rural areas and granted special privileges to male residents of the New Territories in order to appease the indigenous residents.

From then on, every male in the New Territories could build a three-story "Ding House" in his lifetime, with each floor not exceeding 700 square feet, and the land price would be waived.

This condition was negotiated by Lu Hantao and the villagers of the New Territories, using their guns.

It was a product of forcing the English to compromise.

However, by today's standards, this condition is somewhat outrageous.

Hong Kong already had limited available land, and land prices were soaring. If this continued, the English government simply couldn't accept it, so they started renegotiating the issue of the Ding House.

Chen Jiajun's heart skipped a beat, and he said to Lu Hantao, "So, those foreigners in England are determined to abolish this regulation?"

Lu Hantao nodded and said, "I've had several meetings with those foreigners. Their attitude is very firm. They're even willing to cause another riot, just to force us to back down."

"I suspect that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there must be someone pulling the strings behind the scenes. If I'm not mistaken, there must be big bosses from several real estate companies helping us."

Although the residents of the New Territories benefited greatly from the Dingwu incident.

But everyone knows that this discount is limited.

Back then, those Englishmen saw that the villagers in the New Territories were poor and couldn't come up with anything interesting.

Even those with privileges didn't have the money to build Dingwu (a type of house).

However, Chen Jiajun's sudden emergence greatly improved the living conditions of the villagers in the New Territories.

This caused the construction of the Dingwu to proceed much faster than the foreigners had anticipated, so naturally they would try to cancel the regulation.

"What are your thoughts?" Chen Jiajun asked Lu Hantao.

Lu Hantao snorted coldly: "The New Territories belong to all of us in the New Territories. Not just anyone can come in and cause trouble. Those big real estate tycoons who want to get a piece of the pie won't have it so easy."

Chen Jiajun pondered for a moment, then tapped the table and said, "Uncle Tao, let's keep things separate. Let's haggle with the foreigners until they're completely out of control, and stall for time first."

"Hmm? You have an idea?" Lu Hantao's eyes lit up when he heard Chen Jiajun's words.

To be honest, Lu Hantao is highly respected and influential throughout the New Territories.

However, one cannot fight against another. Even if the people of the New Territories are hot-blooded enough to start another riot, they probably wouldn't be a match for those Englishmen this time.

After all, times have changed.

However, it does have the ability to keep out those greedy real estate developers and foreigners.

We're short of money right now, and a lot of it.

With Chen Jiajun's help, this might not be impossible.

After all, her son-in-law didn't have much, except for his many clever ideas and his wealth.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jiajun said, "I'll go back and study it first, and give you an answer in a while."

Lu Hantao knew this was no small matter, so he nodded and said, "No rush, the negotiations aren't over yet, there's still time to proceed."

Then Lu Hantao asked curiously, "Since you didn't come here for Ding Quan's sake, why do you have time to come see this old man?"

"I heard you have a heart condition, so Ah Yu asked me to bring you some health supplements," Chen Jiajun said with a smile. "By the way, there's a triad in the New Territories that's been acting dishonestly, having contact with the Khun Sa Group in the Golden Triangle. I had someone come and investigate them."

"A gang? You mean Yifeng?" Lu Hantao quickly realized what he meant and said with a look of disdain, "Mo Family Village has produced such a scoundrel. I don't know how they have the face to worship their ancestors."

Lu Hantao strongly disapproved of Yifeng's smuggling, drug trafficking, and exploitation of the local people.

However, Yi Feng was very disciplined and never operated within Lu Hantao's sphere of influence.

So no matter how unhappy Lu Hantao was, he couldn't interfere with other people's business.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "You don't need to worry about this. I don't even consider a small Yifeng a threat. However, we have to be wary of the Khun Sa Group behind it. As you know, I've dealt with these drug dealers many times before."

Lu Hantao advised, "I know you're capable, but you also need to be careful. These drug dealers have no humanity."

A cold glint flashed in Chen Jiajun's eyes as he said, "Don't worry, I won't make a move unless I'm sure. If I do, it will be their death."

Just as Chen Jiajun was chatting with Lu Hantao, Yaqi ran in and said to Chen Jiajun, "Boss, I've found the kid you asked me to find."

"Oh?" Chen Jiajun's eyes lit up immediately: "Did you bring it?"

“That might be difficult,” Archie said helplessly. “The kid has already been arrested.”

"Arrested? What happened?" Chen Jiajun asked, stunned.
Yaqi said disdainfully, "This guy is Yifeng's hottest thug right now. He's Mo Weili's cousin, Mo Yilie. It's just that this kid went too far and got tricked by his own boss."

"This kid is unlucky. He followed such a big shot. Not only did Mo Weili break his leg, but now he's also being framed for several crimes, including serious offenses like fighting and drug possession."

"If no one helps him, he'll probably be in jail for more than ten years."

Chen Jiajun sneered and said, "Is this all the vision a rural gang has? They can't even tolerate one of their thugs. Yaqi, take the lawyer and bail that kid out, then bring him to see me."

After a moment's hesitation, Yaqi said, "Boss, I've never understood why you're paying attention to such a kid. He doesn't seem to have anything special about him; there are plenty of these gangsters in Hung Hing."

Chan Ka-Chun laughed and said, "You said it yourself, 'thugs.' Hung Hing certainly doesn't lack thugs, but they do have brain-eaters."

"He's smart enough to be outmaneuvered by his own boss?" Yaqi was somewhat incredulous.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "Did you notice his background?"

Yaqi was stunned for a moment, then quickly flipped through Su Xingbai's file.

"So you come from a wealthy family and even went to university?" Yaqi was stunned on the spot: "I had no idea."

"You can't judge a book by its cover. Go on," Chen Jiajun said, waving his hand.

Yachi nodded and then went to carry out his duties.

At this moment, inside the detention room of Tai Po Police Station.

Su Xingbo lay on the bed, staring blankly at his short legs.

He couldn't understand why, when he was about to take over at Yifeng, he had ended up like this.

He didn't understand why Mo Weili would suddenly turn against him after he had fought so hard for him and taken over a lot of territory.

A moment later, a man in a suit walked in.

Looking at Su Xingbo on the hospital bed, he said, "Mike, this is too serious for me. There's nothing I can do."

The man who spoke was a former friend of Su Xingbai's father, named Mr. Ma.

He himself has no connection with any gang; he's just an ordinary small businessman.

Upon learning of Su Xingbo's incident, he immediately went to the police station to try to secure his release on bail.

Unfortunately, Su Xingbo has several serious crimes on his record, and his bail would be several hundred thousand.

This was beyond Mr. Ma's capabilities.

Su Xingbai chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "It's alright, Uncle Ma, I expected it."

He was involved in the underworld, but he was also a top student at Hong Kong University.

He knew perfectly well how serious his crimes were, so he never even considered bothering his father's friends.

Mr. Ma sighed and said, "I'll think of another way. Even if I can't get you out immediately, I can at least reduce your sentence. After you get out, don't stay in the underworld, come and help me at the factory."

Su Xingbo did not answer Mr. Ma's question, but instead asked with a gloomy expression, "Where is Keke?"

“She’s right outside,” Mr. Ma said, shaking his head. “I’ll come see you again in a while.”

After Mr. Ma left his cell, a beautiful woman walked in.

The woman's name was Yao Keke. She was Su Xingbai's childhood sweetheart, and the two originally planned to get married after a while.

"Coco, do you have a way to get me out of here?" Su Xingbo asked anxiously.

Yao Keke is a lawyer, and unlike Su Xingbo, she went to work in a law firm after she was released.

Yao Keke looked at Su Xingbo and slowly shook her head, saying, "I have no choice. Let's break up."

Having escalated the situation to this point, Yao Keke appeared extremely indifferent and immediately proposed breaking up.

Su Xingbo laughed in anger and threw the pillow at her: "Get out." "I'll find a way to pay you back for your school fees." After saying this, Yao Keke turned and left the cell.

After Yao Keke left, Su Xingbai was plunged into despair.

He lost his status in the club, lost his girlfriend, and had no future to look forward to.

He wanted to avenge his father, but that will probably never be possible in his lifetime.

Thinking about this, Su Xingbai even had thoughts of suicide.

But at that moment, the cell door was pushed open again.

The police officer in uniform said to Su Xingbo, "Su Xingbo, someone has come to bail you out."

"What?" Su Xingbo was stunned on the spot and said to the policeman, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Can you say it again?"

"Stop talking nonsense. You've been bailed out. Do you think you can stay here any longer?" the policeman said irritably. "An ambulance will take you to the hospital later."

Su Xingbo was overjoyed, then asked with some curiosity, "How can I know who came to bail me out?"

"How should I know?" the policeman said impatiently. "You'll find out when you get to the hospital. Don't waste your breath now."

The police walked up to Su Xingbai and unlocked his handcuffs.

A team of medical staff then came in, lifted him onto a stretcher, and took him to the hospital.
Along the way, Su Xingbai racked his brains but couldn't figure out who had come to rescue him.

It's worth noting that getting him released from the police station on bail would cost a considerable sum.
However, Su Xingbai was also secretly pleased.

If someone saved him, it means he's still useful.

He believed that with his abilities, he could pay off this debt sooner or later and then complete his revenge.

After being transferred to the hospital, Su Xingbai was placed in a special care ward.

Not only can you stay in a single room here, but the service is also very comfortable.

Every half hour, a nurse would come to check on his condition.

That afternoon, the mysterious person who saved him finally appeared.

“Su Xingbo, right?” Yaqi sat down directly in front of the hospital bed and looked the young man up and down.

Anyone who gets noticed by their boss must be someone special.

Su Xingbo felt uneasy under Yaqi's gaze; he felt as if Yaqi's eyes could pierce right through him.

"Was it you who bailed me out of the police station?" Su Xingbo asked directly.

Yachi said calmly, "No, it's my boss. Our boss wants to talk to you."

Su Xingbo took a deep breath and said, "What do you need me to do?"

Yaqi laughed and said, "No rush, let's talk about it when you're fully recovered. A cripple can't do anything for my boss."

Su Xingbo took a deep breath and said, "I have a comminuted fracture of my lower leg, and it will cost a lot of money to treat it."

“Money is nothing to my old man, as long as you’re worth this price.” Yaqi grinned. “But if you’re not worth this price, we can get back everything we’ve invested in you.”

Faced with Yaqi's malicious gaze, Su Xingbo suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his head stand on end.

However, Su Xingbo quickly calmed down. He had no bargaining power at the moment, and he didn't even have the right to refuse.

Because if he rejected the other party's offer, Su Xingbai would truly be worthless.

So Su Xingbo said very seriously, "Tell your boss that I can earn back his investment in me a thousand times over in the future."

"Hehe." Yaqi chuckled and said, "There's no point in talking big. We'll see. Stay here without worry. I'll cover all your expenses until you recover."

"Thank you." Su Xingbai nodded.

Yachi didn't linger; he left immediately after finishing his conversation.

He's quite busy right now. After reporting back to Chen Jiajun, he still needs to monitor the work of the two drug lords.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Xingbo's leg has entered the recovery period. Although he can't walk normally yet, he is ready to be discharged from the hospital.

He kept a record of every expense in the hospital, including the amount used to bail him out.

And coincidentally, on this very day, Yachi reappeared to pick him up.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to see my boss,” Yaqi said calmly.

Seeing the luxurious business vehicle in front of him, Su Xingbai felt a little uneasy.

Clearly, the person who saved him was no ordinary individual.

After getting in the car, Su Xingbo was about to speak when Yaqi interrupted him, saying, "Don't ask questions. You'll know when we get there."

Su Xingbo could only keep his mouth shut, filled with questions.

The car soon stopped in front of the Guojun Group building.

Looking at the tall building in front of him, Su Xingbo stared at Yaqi in surprise, gasped, and said, "Wait, is the person I'm supposed to see that's him?"

Who owns the Guojun Group? I believe no one in Hong Kong would be unaware of that.

For those in the underworld, their names are even more legendary.

It's worth noting that Chan Ka-Chun is a role model and a target for many Hong Kong gangsters.

Yaqi didn't say anything, but led Su Xingbo into the elevator and went directly to the chairman's office on the top floor.

“Go in.” Yaqi didn’t go in, but just instructed, “The boss hates being disturbed when he’s working. You’d better wait until he’s finished before you speak.”

Su Xingbai nodded and then walked into the office.

Chen Jiajun's office is not luxurious, but rather very modern.

Aside from being simple and bright, it has no other distinguishing features.

At this moment, Chen Jiajun was processing some official documents, so Su Xingbo could only stand aside and wait silently for Chen Jiajun to finish what he was doing.

Half an hour later, Chen Jiajun put down his pen, rubbed his stiff neck, and then saw Su Xingbai leaning on his cane.

He chuckled softly and said, "Can't you just find somewhere to sit down?"

Su Xingbo took a deep breath and said to Chen Jiajun with a smile, "Without Sir Chen's permission, how could a nobody like me dare to sit down?"

Chen Jiajun glanced at Su Xingbo and said, "You're a smart man, and you speak very tactfully. You certainly have a maturity beyond your years. I think you can handle the next matter for me."

"Sir Chen, please give your instructions."

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Su Xingbo did not make any boastful claims.

From those two short sentences, he could roughly tell what kind of person Chen Jiajun was.
My boss likes people who get things done and doesn't like people who flatter him.

This is exactly what Su Xingbo likes.

To be honest, Su Xingbo felt a little nervous and even excited when facing Chen Jiajun.

Because being able to do things for Chen Jiajun is something that many gangsters wouldn't even dare to dream of.

If things go well, the benefits might be much greater than he had anticipated becoming the head of Yifeng.

Chen Jiajun said, "You used to be with Yifeng, right? Who was your boss?"

“Mo Weili, the cousin of Mo Yilie, the gang leader.” When Su Xingbai mentioned this name, a vicious look appeared in his eyes.

He would never forget the time when his boss crippled him after he was betrayed.

If given the chance, he would definitely repay tenfold.

Chen Jiajun nodded, then said to Su Xingbai, "I need you to go back to Yifeng and climb as high as you can, until you're someone Mo Yilie will value. And it has to be fast."

"Huh?" Su Xingbo was stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Jiajun's words.

"What? Is it difficult?" Chen Jiajun looked at him with a half-smile.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xingbo said to Chen Jiajun, "I offended Mo Weili because I was too outspoken before. As long as he suppresses me, even if I return to Yifeng, I will never be given an important position."

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "So, it all depends on your ability. I'm a very simple person; I only care about the results. The process and such are not important to me."

Su Xingbai hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Sir Chen."

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Of course, I won't let you do this with a broken leg. I'll give you money if you want, and I'll give you intelligence if you want. The only thing is to make contact with Mo Yilie and get in touch with the core of Mo Yilie's drug trafficking network."

Hearing Chen Jiajun say that, Su Xingbo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With Chen Jiajun's support, this is not a difficult task for him.

Chen Jiajun tossed Su Xingbo a business card and said, "If you need anything, you can contact Yaqi, and he'll take care of it for you."

"Understood, Sir Chen." Su Xingbai nodded and put away the business card.

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "From now on, call me boss."

"Yes, boss." (End of Chapter)
