Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

"Damn! By the way, how's things going with Su Xingbo?"

Yaqi said with a smile, "This kid has gotten rid of the trouble, completely stood with Spicy Ginger, and gained Mo Yilie's trust. It's just that Mo Yilie has started to cause trouble recently."

"Oh?" Chen Jiajun asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Yaqi pondered for a moment and then said to Chen Jiajun, "He wants to promote Su Xingbo to compete with La Jiang. I don't know what this guy is thinking."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiajun immediately laughed: "Mo Yilie, that old fox, is indeed quite cunning."

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Yaqi was completely bewildered and said, "How is he an old fox? This guy made a terrible mistake by separating Su Xingbai and La Jiang. If things get chaotic between the two sides like this, things will definitely be difficult to resolve."

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "What is Mo Yilie's ultimate goal?"

"Sell the goods we have?" Yachi asked tentatively.

"Okay, besides getting money after selling the goods, what else can we do?" Chen Jiajun continued.

"I think we should be able to get support from the club," Yachi said hesitantly.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "That's the problem. Yifeng's system is very similar to that of Wo Luen Shing; both follow an election system. When the three-year term is up, Mo Yilie will have to obediently step down from his position as the leader."

"But what if he doesn't want to give up his position? Or doesn't want an ambitious and powerful underling like Spicy Ginger to take over?"

Hearing this, Yaqi finally realized: "You mean Mo Yilie did it on purpose?"

“That’s right. Su Xingbo has no background in Yifeng. He can only rely on Mo Yilie. But Spicy Ginger is different. He has the support of many uncles in various gangs. Once his power becomes too great, he will have to step down from his position as the leader, whether Mo Yilie likes it or not,” Chen Jiajun said calmly.

"Oh, it's so complicated," Yaqi said, scratching his head. "Our Hung Hing is much simpler."

Upon hearing Yaqi's words, Chen Jiajun couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Wasn't Hung Hing in the same situation back then? If it weren't for Chan Ka-Chun being too powerful and rising too quickly.

Isn't Hung Hing still under the control of the Chiang family?
However, given Yaqi's intelligence, Chen Jiajun kept quiet and changed the subject: "Have Su Xingbo come over when he has time. I have something I want to talk to him about."

Yachi nodded and said, "I understand, boss."

On the other hand, the aftermath of Khun Sa's death caused widespread panic among laundry detergent sellers throughout Hong Kong.

With their biggest supplier gone, they don't know if they can continue in this business.

But for Mo Yilie, this was a golden opportunity.

Although Khun Sa's supply lines were cut off, his trip to Thailand wasn't in vain. He had already contacted a major drug lord in Thailand and ordered five tons of drugs from him, intending to bring them to Hong Kong to sell.

However, as a condition, he needed to eliminate one of the other side's defector henchmen.

So Mo Yilie contacted a top lawyer and got the henchman, who had already been sentenced to prison, out of jail.

Then he led them directly to a computer: "Hello, Carl, I've found the person you're looking for."

Karl, a fat man with a strange and sarcastic demeanor, immediately showed an excited expression when he saw Mo Yilie bring over the underling who had betrayed him: "Mr. Mo, well done."

Mo Yilie then had one of his men hand him a gun, which made the henchman cry out in terror, "Brother Lie, spare my life!"

Unfortunately, Mo Yilie was too preoccupied with the laundry detergent in the other man's hand to care about anything else. He ordered his men to cover the man's mouth and press their heads against his forehead.

Then Mo Yilie said to Karl on the other side of the video, "I told you, I won't let you down."

With that, Mo Yilie smiled and pulled the trigger, the bullet piercing a large hole in the henchman's forehead.

Su Xingbai wiped the blood off his face and handed a handkerchief to Mo Yilie.

Carl on the other end of the video call smiled broadly: "I've been looking forward to this for a long time. According to our agreement, you can get what you want, Mr. Mo."

"Thank you." Mo Yilie smiled.

After hanging up the video call, Mo Yilie ordered his men to dispose of the henchman's body, then pulled Su Xingbo aside and said, "Mike, who has the most power selling laundry detergent in Hong Kong right now?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Xingbo said, "If we're talking about the largest scale, it's probably Taishan of the Righteous Army. Their channels are in the Philippines, so they haven't been affected by Khun Sa's side."

Mo Yilie nodded and said, "I understand. Tell everyone to prepare for the meeting."

Su Xingbai's heart stirred. Based on what had just happened, it was not hard to see that Mo Yilie had obviously found a new channel.

They're planning something big in Hong Kong.

"Could it be that Chen Jiajun made me work for Mo Yilie just for this reason?" Su Xingbo muttered to himself.

Based on Chen Jiajun's previous actions, Su Xingbo became increasingly convinced that this was possible.

Suddenly, an absurd feeling arose in my heart: the biggest gangster boss in Hong Kong was actually a pioneer in the fight against drugs?
However, if Chen Jiajun knew about his idea, he would probably laugh himself to death.

Although what Chen Jiajun did was seen by outsiders as drug prohibition.

However, its connection to the greater good is probably limited; his primary goal was to make Hong Kong his own territory.

I don't want those damned foreigners to use Hong Kong as a springboard to Southeast Asia, operating businesses like arms dealing and laundry detergent sales here, thus jeopardizing our financial advantages.

It is well known that a stable market is essential to ensuring financial security.
If those arms dealers and laundry detergent vendors are allowed to run rampant in Hong Kong, Chen Jiajun's plans will definitely be wasted.

In Chen Jiajun's mind, he intends to develop Hong Kong into the financial center of the entire Asia.

Regardless of Su Xingbai's strange thoughts, since Mo Yilie wanted to hold a meeting, he immediately went to inform La Jiang.

Two hours later, in Yifeng's conference room.

Once everyone was present, Mo Yilie got straight to the point: "As you all know, Weili was in charge of the laundry detergent business before. Now that he's fallen from grace, I'd like to find someone to take over."

"I've heard that ketamine is now a trend, and young people use it to pick up girls and show off, just like smoking or playing video games."

Upon hearing Mo Yilie's words, an uncle remarked calmly, "But compared to other businesses, the competition in this industry is far too fierce. Many gangs are vying to do it, and Wei Li has been doing it for so many years, yet it seems he hasn't made much money."

Mo Yilie said with a smile, "I just don't want to compete with others. I want to dominate the entire ketamine market in Hong Kong. I ordered five tons of ketamine from Thailand, and one ton will be shipped over first. I want all the venues to sell our Yifeng products."

"Everyone knows that General Khun Sa of the Golden Triangle is in trouble, and the entire Southeast Asia is experiencing a shortage of goods. Currently, 70% of the goods in Hong Kong come from Tai Shan of the Yi Yong. If we want to dominate the market, the first thing we need to do is eliminate Tai Shan. Listen up, everyone, whoever can help me eliminate Tai Shan will be in charge of this market from now on." Mo Yilie's words stirred up all the big players in Yi Feng.

If what Mo Yilie said is true, that he can dominate the Hong Kong market, then wouldn't he be able to make money even while lying down and sleeping?
This is a big, fragrant, and hot flatbread.

Upon hearing Mo Yilie's words, Yifeng's subordinates all began to take action.

After all, no one wants to miss out on such a great opportunity.

However, the most powerful one, Spicy Ginger, remained inactive, spending his days in his finance company boxing with his subordinates.

They sent Su Xingbai out to gather information.

Su Xingbo ignored the matter and went directly to Titan Group to meet Chen Jiajun.

"Boss." Su Xingbo arrived at Chen Jiajun's office and found him checking stock prices.

Seeing Su Xingbo arrive, he casually said, "Please have a seat, I'll be done in a minute."

Su Xingbo nodded and sat down. Soon, a secretary came over and brought him a cup of tea.

As Su Xingbo sipped his tea and watched Chen Jiajun's series of actions, he suddenly felt a surge of longing.

If his family hadn't fallen on hard times, he would probably be sitting in a luxurious office like Chen Jiajun, watching the stock market.

But now, he can only do his best to do his job well and pay back the debt Chen Jiajun owed him.

A dozen minutes later, Chen Jiajun finally finished what he was doing, walked over with a smile, and said, "What? Interested in stocks?"

Su Xingbo nodded: "How can a club compare to finance?"

"Haha, you have good insight." Chen Jiajun nodded with a smile, then said, "You can have some fun when you're in power."

After chatting for a bit, Chen Jiajun inquired about Yifeng.

Su Xingbai naturally dared not hide anything and told Chen Jiajun everything Mo Yilie had said.

“Mo Yilie wants to take advantage of this lull to dominate the entire Hong Kong laundry detergent market,” Su Xingbo said with a serious expression. “He has made contact with a Thai buyer and obtained a new type of drug called ketamine.”

"Oh?" Chen Jiajun said with surprise, "I didn't expect Mo Yilie to be such an unkillable cockroach."

I thought that once Khun Sa was dealt with, laundry detergent from the Golden Triangle would no longer be able to be shipped to Hong Kong, and Mo Yilie could finally have some peace and quiet.

Unexpectedly, this guy was still up to his old tricks and managed to come up with a new kind of gadget through a different approach.

"By the way, Mo Yilie said at the triad meeting that whoever can handle Taishan will be in charge of this business. Now all the big shots in Yifeng have gone crazy, and Taishan's place has been raided several times in a row," Su Xingbai added.

“The profits here are indeed insane,” Chen Jiajun said with a smile. “What about Spicy Ginger? I heard that Mo Yilie has been promoting you a lot lately, which makes Spicy Ginger very wary of you.”

Su Xingbai gave a wry smile and said, "He calls it a promotion, but I have no men or soldiers under my command. He's putting me on the spot. I can already feel that Spicy Ginger is starting to be wary of me."

“That’s normal. You did an excellent job.” Chen Jiajun said calmly, “A brainless gangster like you, Spicy Ginger will definitely be wary of you. Not to mention Spicy Ginger, how do you think Mo Yilie isn’t also wary of you?”

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Su Xingbo immediately fell silent.

Indeed, it wasn't just spicy ginger that was wary of him; Mo Yilie was too.

He has made many contributions to the club during this period.

Let alone a hall master position, he should have been promoted long ago, but he's still a nobody.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Mo Yilie was taking him along in everything he did a while ago, making it seem like he was going to promote him.

But none of the benefits actually materialized.

He was still just an insignificant 49-year-old in Yi Fung, just like those drug-addicted idiots who had damaged their brains.

Thinking of this, Su Xingbai's eyes filled with increasing resentment.

Chen Jiajun tapped the table and said calmly to Su Xingbo, "Wake up. If you're blinded by hatred, it'll be easy for others to seize the opportunity."

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Su Xingbo took a deep breath to calm down and then nodded to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "You're already close to Mo Yilie's inner circle. If you help Spicy Ginger with this matter, how much do you think Spicy Ginger's power will expand?"

Su Xingbo frowned and said, "In the past, there was Weili who opposed La Jiang, but now, none of the hall masters of Yifeng have any brains. I guess it will be difficult for them to contend with an old fox like La Jiang."

"So, Spicy Ginger will be second only to Yi Feng from now on?" Chen Jiajun said casually. "I remember Yi Feng is going to re-elect its leader tomorrow, right? Do you think Mo Yilie will willingly give up his position to Spicy Ginger then?"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's analysis, Su Xingbo's eyes lit up: "You mean..."

“Mo Yilie brought so much ketamine from overseas, not only to make money, but more importantly to increase his influence. He certainly won’t give up the position of leader so easily; I think he probably wants to retain it.” Chen Jiajun picked up his tea, took a sip, and continued, “So, facing the increasingly powerful Spicy Ginger, he will probably create another person to challenge Spicy Ginger.”

"Is this my chance?" Su Xingbo immediately understood Chen Jiajun's meaning, but then said, "However, Spicy Ginger's men are strong and well-equipped, I'm afraid I won't be his match."

“Then let’s call Mo Yilie for you. Since he wants to help you stand up against Spicy Ginger, he can’t just let you rely on your brains, can he?” Chen Jiajun said with a faint smile.

"I understand, boss." Su Xingbai nodded with a smile.

Back at the finance company, Spicy Ginger was still boxing with his men.

Su Xingbo deliberately said, "Brother Spicy Ginger, if we don't do something soon, we won't be able to get a piece of Taishan's fat meat. Now the people from other branches are like madmen, looking for Taishan everywhere, all wanting to get the first move in this matter."

Spicy Ginger smiled and said, "Keep calm. A head-on collision won't work. You can only strike when the opportunity is right."

As he spoke, Spicy Ginger threw a backhand punch, knocking one of his men to the ground.

After catching his breath, Spicy Ginger picked up a bottle of water and gulped it down. He then said to Su Xingbai in a calm tone, "Besides, although Yiyong has fallen on hard times, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. They won't be so easily dealt with."

Hearing what Spicy Ginger said, it was clear that he already had a solution.

This immediately piqued Su Xingbai's curiosity. (End of Chapter)
