Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

"Damn it, why would someone try to assassinate me? Could it be..." A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Zhang Suquan's mind.

At this moment, his bodyguard approached and said directly to Zhang Suquan, "Boss, let's go quickly. The Hong Kong police will be here soon."

Hearing the bodyguard's words, Zhang Suquan finally came to his senses and said with a grim expression, "Let's go, leave Hong Kong immediately."

The reason they were in such a hurry to leave was not only because of the Hong Kong police.

Furthermore, this matter is definitely related to Chen Jiajun.

If I don't leave Hong Kong and Chen Jiajun's sphere of influence right now, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave.

Amidst the chaos, Zhang Suquan, accompanied by his bodyguards, left the restaurant and headed to the underground parking garage to retrieve his car and depart.

Just as Zhang Suquan got into the car, he heard an unfamiliar voice behind him: "Lieutenant Zhang, are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Suquan's hair stood on end.

The fact that he could appear in his car so silently clearly showed that he was not the same kind of assassin as the one from before.

This time, Zhang Suquan didn't even dare to turn around. Instead, he said to the people behind him, "Did Chen Jiajun send you to kill me? How much money did he give you? I can give you ten times that amount."

"What are you talking about? Our boss sent me to kill you, what money do you want?" Old Prison, sitting in the back seat, said calmly, "Our boss said that you've come all this way, so he sent me to see you off. Just be more careful in your next life."

Just as Zhang Suquan was about to say something, the knife in Lao Yu's hand had already fallen.

The blood stained the car windows red, which startled Zhang Suquan's bodyguard.

They simply didn't have time to worry about their boss, because Old Prison's orc brothers had already arrived.

After a series of piercing screams, the garage fell silent again.

Old Yu wiped the blood off his knife and then dialed Chen Jiajun's number: "Boss, Zhang Suquan is done."

“Very well, send his head back to Khun Sa.” Chen Jiajun said calmly.

Although Khun Sa's territory was a fortified position, Chen Jiajun was too lazy to mobilize a large number of people to cause trouble for him in the Golden Triangle.

But killing his deputy should make that old bastard Khun Sa suffer for a while.

Chen Jiajun himself is having tea and playing golf with Fok Ying-nam.

"Jun, your skills have improved a lot. Have you been secretly practicing at home?" Huo Yingnan said, clapping as he saw Chen Jiajun hit a beautiful birdie.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. I've been very troubled lately, so I don't have time to play ball."

"Oh? Something that's bothering you so much, Ah Jun, must be something serious." Huo Yingnan said with a smile, "Tell me, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Chen Jiajun sat down, took a sip of tea, and said without ceremony, "You know what, there really is. You know about the Ding Quan incident in the New Territories, right?"

“I know. I heard that the government has recently been negotiating with representatives from the New Territories, saying that the Ding Quan issue cannot continue to develop in this way.” Fok Ying-nam said with a smile, “Back then, those British devils thought they had gotten a good deal with these conditions, but they didn’t expect to fall into a big pit.”

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "That's exactly why. I heard from the Lu family that the government is preparing to gather the last batch of Ding Quan (丁权) to give a benefit to the New Territories, and then abolish the Ding Quan ordinance. Representatives from various towns are meeting every day to discuss this issue."

"The number of men in the New Territories is estimated to be close to 200,000. Even though the area is relatively poor, the benefit of having a small house is already something many people envy. If the government wants to abolish this regulation, it will probably have to spend a lot of money."

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Huo Yingnan's eyes lit up: "So, that's your little girlfriend's father?"

“That’s right. From what he said, there’s a lot that can be done here. It’s just that we lack people with relevant experience and a lot of funding,” Chen Jiajun said to Huo Yingnan with a smile.

The reason Chen Jiajun found Huo Yingnan was entirely because that was how he made his fortune.

When it comes to real estate, Fok Ying-nam is an expert. He's also extremely wealthy.

Huo Yingnan was already somewhat tempted by Chen Jiajun's suggestion, but he still said cautiously, "Jun, the government negotiations haven't even concluded yet. Isn't it a bit too early to consider this issue?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "It's getting late, especially for people in the New Territories."

"Oh? What's the explanation?" Huo Yingnan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "As you know, the people of the New Territories have always been quite united. They don't want, and are unwilling to let outsiders interfere with their land issues."

"Once the negotiations regarding Ding Quan are completed, do you think the four major real estate developers will come knocking as soon as they sense it? If we're too slow, will there be any left?"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun mention the four major real estate developers, a glint of light flashed in Fok Ying-nam's eyes.

Fok Ying-nam had never forgotten how those guys had teamed up to buy "Starlight" from him at a low price.

Although the British were the ones who did this, Fok Ying-nam also didn't have a good impression of these four major real estate developers.

After a moment of silence, Fok Ying-nam said to Chen Jiajun, "Jun, tell me your opinion."

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Uncle Hantao and I have talked. Although we haven't settled on specific figures, we have a general direction."

"The government's intention is that the Ding House Ordinance will definitely be abolished, and applications for building Ding Houses will be discontinued. However, in exchange, they can give us a few plots of land to build high-rise buildings."

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's statement, Huo Yingnan did a quick calculation and knew that this was definitely not a small business.

It's a business worth tens of billions.

It's obviously impossible to swallow it all at once.

No wonder Chen Jiajun planned to bring him on board.

“This is indeed a big deal,” Fok Ying-nan said directly. “But even brothers should keep clear accounts. How do you plan to divide the profits?”

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "My idea is that you and I jointly invest, and the New Territories people provide the land to establish a real estate company. You and I each own 35% and the New Territories own 30%. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's statement, Huo Yingnan nodded, "That's indeed very fair. But what about the company's operations?"

Upon hearing Huo Yingnan's words, Chen Jiajun chuckled and said, "That's up to you. After all, you know I know absolutely nothing about the real estate industry."

Henry Fok was speechless: "You seem fair, but you're incredibly cunning."

"Anyway, it's an independently operated business. We can save the money by finding someone else outside," Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

After considering it for a moment, Fok Ying-nam said to Chen Jiajun, "Alright, I'll go and prepare the funds for the initial development."

"Thank you very much, Brother Nan." Chen Jiajun nodded happily immediately.

If Henry Fok were to get involved, Chan Ka-Chun was confident he could acquire all the land in the New Territories.
What about the four major real estate developers then?

Go ahead and follow me around eating my dust.

Actually, history did change a little because of Chen Jiajun's arrival.

At least the issue of Ding Quan should have been changed after the handover.

But now that the Hong Kong British government has taken notice of this matter, Chan Ka-Chun has no intention of being polite to them. These British devils have a very simple idea.

Hong Kong's property market is so developed now, yet they don't allow the sale of Ding Houses under the newly defined Ding House Ordinance.

As a result, the foreigners naturally couldn't get enough benefits.

Once the Ding Uk Ordinance is abolished, land in the New Territories can be traded, which will increase their tax revenue and perhaps allow them to legitimately intervene in New Territories affairs.

However, Chen Jiajun clearly wouldn't let these foreigners have their way.

After having tea with Fok Ying-nam, Chen Jiajun had his driver take him to the New Territories to find Lu Hantao.

“I’ve already spoken with Mr. Huo. He’s in the real estate business, so our combined support should be enough,” Chen Jiajun said to Lu Hantao with a smile.

Lu Hantao was delighted after hearing this: "That's wonderful! You have no idea, all sorts of shady characters have been coming to our door lately. Especially that Situ Guang from the Real Estate Chamber of Commerce, the spokesperson for the four major real estate companies. That guy is the best at currying favor, like a leech that you can't shake off."

"They're like sharks in the sea; they'll pounce at the slightest smell of fish. If the New Territories fall into their hands, will it still be the New Territories?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and shook his head: "They have no chance."

"By the way, Ah Jun, there's something I need to tell you." Lu Hantao said, a little embarrassed, "Before, I was worried that you were under too much financial pressure, so I contacted another person."

"What?" Chen Jiajun was stunned for a moment and said in a daze.

He never expected that Lu Hantao had other sources of funding.

Lu Hantao quickly replied, "He's the owner of an investment company, I think his name is Rao Tiansong."

Upon hearing Lu Hantao's words, Chen Jiajun was immediately enraged.

He hadn't expected that Lu Hantao would secretly meet with people from an investment company behind his back, which immediately disrupted Chen Jiajun's plans.

How am I supposed to talk to Fok Ying-nam about this? Should I cut off a portion of my shares?

It's important to understand that Fok Ying-nam's involvement in this plan was purely due to Chan Ka-chun's influence. Otherwise, what fool would be willing to prepare such a large sum of money before the government's confirmation?
Isn't this making yourself untrustworthy?
If it were his own subordinate, Chen Jiajun would have already started cursing.

However, Lu Hantao was Yongyu's father, and Chen Jiajun couldn't say much. He felt extremely uncomfortable with his anger stuck in his chest.

Lu Hantao seemed to realize he had done something stupid, and his expression became extremely embarrassed.

Chen Jiajun paced around the living room for a while before finally speaking to Lu Hantao, "Is there any way to kick them out?"

"I don't know either. We only made initial contact and they immediately transferred all the money." Lu Hantao sighed and said, "Ah Jun, have I gotten myself into trouble?"

Hearing Lu Hantao soften his tone, Chen Jiajun's anger subsided considerably.

“Once the government softens its stance, Mr. Huo and I will immediately inject capital into the Lu Guo Group. Leave the rest to me.” Chen Jiajun sighed and said, “You will inevitably have to deal with these people in the future, but you should do your research beforehand, otherwise we’ll be in trouble if we get involved with some of these groups.”

Lu Hantao nodded: "I understand. From now on, I'll just pass this on to you to handle."

Lu Hantao was, after all, just a country bumpkin who hadn't read many books, and his knowledge was far from sufficient.

Lu Hantao himself realized this, so he did not feel that Chen Jiajun had taken away his power.

The reason for doing this is still for the sake of the New Territories.

"Alright, it's getting late, I won't keep you here any longer. Tomorrow's Sunday, remember to have Yongyu come back." Lu Hantao said irritably, "That brat, we used to be able to get rid of her no matter what. Now she rarely comes back, maybe once a month."

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "I understand, Dad. I'll bring Yongyu back to see you again tomorrow."

After leaving the Lu family mansion, Chen Jiajun did not rush home, but went back to the company and called Yaqi.

"Go and find out who this guy named Rao Tiansong is," Chen Jiajun said coldly.

What kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry wants to get a piece of the pie? Dream on.

Everyone wants a piece of the pie in Ting Kuen, New Territories.

But to get a piece of this meat, you have to be qualified.

Rao Tiansong, a nobody whose name I've never even heard of, wants to get involved? Doesn't he even consider whether Chen Jiajun will agree?

Soon, Yaqi obtained the information about Rao Tiansong.

This guy is the owner of an investment company; he used to work in Singapore.

A few years ago, he suddenly returned to Hong Kong and founded this investment company.

“This guy’s background is very mysterious; you can’t tell anything useful just by looking at him on the surface.” Yachi shook his head and said, “But when I was looking up information about this guy just now, I found something interesting.”

As he spoke, Yaqi took out another photo and placed it in front of Chen Jiajun: "This guy is called Zhan Boda. He is an arms dealer. When we were investigating the data, we found that this guy was very close to Rao Tiansong."

"An arms dealer?" Chen Jiajun looked at the man in the photo and said with a sneer, "An arms dealer and an investment company owner, people who have nothing in common, how could they possibly be related? Unless it's money laundering?"

Yaqi nodded and said, "That is indeed possible. I have already sent people to investigate the funds that Rao Tiansong started his business, and I believe we will have the results soon."

Chen Jiajun laughed irritably, "I originally thought that the people of Hong Kong wanted to eat this piece of fat meat, the New Territories, but I didn't expect that people from outside would also want to come in. It's really interesting."

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Yaqi's face darkened, and he made a throat-slitting gesture, saying, "Should we just kill him?"

Chen Jiajun rolled his eyes and said, "I asked you to investigate people, not to kill them. Besides, if everything relied on killing, what kind of company would I be running?"

Yaqi rubbed his head, chuckled, and didn't say anything.

Chen Jiajun rubbed his eyes. His men were good in every way, except they were too belligerent.

Just as Chen Jiajun was having a headache, a young demon walked in and placed a document in front of Chen Jiajun's desk.

After glancing at it, Chen Jiajun immediately revealed a sinister smile: "As expected, he's a money launderer. That makes things easier."

Yachi, still completely bewildered, asked, "Boss, what should we do?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Have you ever heard the saying? High-level business battles often employ the most straightforward methods?"

"Huh? Never heard of it." Yachi shook his head and said.

Yaqi had never heard of it, because it was a joke Chen Jiajun had seen online in his previous life.

The business battles in novels are all about hackers, spies, and cutting off funding.

Real-world business battles, however, are far more pragmatic, employing tactics such as shutting down power, cutting off internet access, and seizing company seals.

Therefore, Chen Jiajun also planned to use the most straightforward business tactic: whistleblowing. (End of Chapter)
