Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Soon, Situ Guang took out a contract with two versions and handed it to Lu Yongyuan, who was standing next to him.

Although the price was the same as previously agreed, the method of settling the payment changed at this point.

Lu Yongyuan immediately raised a question: "Mr. Situ, I don't think we said that before?"

Liu Yaozu, who was standing to the side, spoke up: "Mr. Lu, do you have any concerns?"

"Regarding the settlement of the payment, we agreed that it would be settled in one lump sum. How did it turn out like this?" Lu Yongyuan said angrily.

Situ Guang said with a smile, "Oh, Yuan, you have to understand us. Mobilizing so many resources at once is not an easy task for our real estate association. Besides, we are going to cooperate for a long time. It's okay if the payment time is a little longer."

"Furthermore, now that Fok Ying-nam and Chan Ka-chun have started getting involved in matters in the New Territories, I reckon that apart from the four big bosses behind me, no one else would dare to take over this land from you, right?"

Upon hearing Situ Guang's shameless words, Lu Yongyuan was immediately enraged.

This sudden change of heart disgusted him.

Enraged, Lu Yongyuan stood up, ready to leave.

The two men did not try to stop him. Instead, Liu Yaozu said calmly, "Mr. Lu, you should think this through. The news of your cooperation with us has probably already been spread. If you don't sell this land, it will only be given to that old fox Lu Hantao as collateral."

"They might swallow your land, and then they might even take everything you have."

Upon hearing Liu Yaozu's words, Lu Yongyuan hesitated for a moment.

He had almost fallen out with the Lu family before, if he really didn't cooperate with the real estate association.

Lu Hantao might actually try to take over his land, and then he would really lose everything.

Thinking of this, Lu Yongyuan said in a deep voice, "I need to go back and think about it for a while."

Hearing Lu Yongyuan's words, the two did not press him further, so they smiled and said, "Such an important matter does need to be considered carefully. Then we will wait for Mr. Lu's good news."

Lu Yongyuan took a deep breath, then turned and left the club.

After Lu Yongyuan left, Liu Yaozu said to Situ Guang, "Do you think this kid will give in?"

Situ Guang smiled sinisterly, "His relationship with his brothers is very strained now, and he embarrassed that old guy Lu Hantao during the meeting. He has no other choice but to wait for your money to arrive."

Liu Yaozu sneered and said, "Understood, I'll take care of that old guy as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, inside the Lu family's mansion.

“Uncle Tao, we recently discovered that A Yuan is getting very close to Situ Guang from the Real Estate Chamber of Commerce,” Lu Jinqiang said, placing a photo in front of Lu Hantao.

Upon seeing this photo, Lu Hantao's face immediately darkened.

He knew why Lu Yongyuan opposed him; it was all because of interests.

The land that the government approved for them to build the Dingwu Building happened to be on Lu Yongyuan's land.

Lu Hantao hoped that Lu Yongyuan would consider the overall situation and hand over the land to the group before providing compensation.

Unexpectedly, not only did this kid refuse, but he also directly contradicted him during the meeting.

This caused Lu Hantao, the old patriarch of the Lu family, to lose face completely and was unable to back down.

However, what Lu Hantao didn't know was that the matter was not so simple.

The events behind this are also closely related to Lu Jinqiang and others.

Since Chen Jiajun refused to let them interfere in the company and instead let Huo Yingnan's people manage Lu Guo Group, they have developed a sense of crisis.

So they secretly sabotaged the matter, their aim being to attract Lu Hantao's attention.
Lu Hantao was indeed in a dilemma at this moment.

After all, Lu Yongyuan went a bit too far in what he did.

Before he could figure out how to deal with this kid...

Suddenly the office door opened, and Chen Jiajun and Lu Yongyu walked in.

"Oh, they're all here."

Chen Jiajun said to these people with a smile.

"Ah Jun, you're here." Lu Hantao forced a smile, then quietly hid the photo of Lu Yongyuan interacting with Situ Guang.

If Chen Jiajun were to see this, Lu Yongyuan would probably be dead on the spot.

The others greeted Chen Jiajun with varying expressions.

In particular, Lu Jinqiang saw Lu Hantao's actions and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Their goal wasn't to kill Lu Yongyuan, but simply to gain some influence within the group.

Chen Jiajun, oblivious to the subtle expressions on the faces of the others, distributed the gifts he had brought to Lu Jinqiang and the others.

Since Chen Jiajun and Lu Yongyu have returned, the family is preparing to have a meal together.

At this point, Chen Jiajun glanced at everyone and then said with a smile, "Why hasn't A-Yuan come back?"

Lu Hantao hesitated for a moment.

At this point, the hot-tempered Lu Yongfu said directly, "Don't even mention that kid. He's fallen out with us and is now preparing to go out and start his own business."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiajun suddenly fell silent, then said to Lu Yongfu, "Call him and tell him to come back."

“Ah Jun.” Lu Yongfu was taken aback.

Chen Jiajun emphasized, "Call him and tell him to come back."

Hearing Chen Jiajun's unfriendly tone, Lu Yongfu shuddered, picked up the phone, and dialed Lu Yongyuan's number.

After the call connected, Lu Yongfu didn't waste any words and said directly to Lu Yongyuan, "Ajun wants you to come back for dinner."

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Lu Hantao said somewhat awkwardly, "Jun, about this matter..."

Chen Jiajun interrupted Lu Hantao, saying, "Dad, I'll handle this. You don't need to get involved."

Lu Hantao understood Chen Jiajun's meaning, gave a wry smile, and remained silent.

Meanwhile, Lu Yongyu comforted her father, explaining that she and Chen Jiajun had returned today to deal with a major hidden threat within the Lu family.

Seeing Chen Jiajun get involved in this matter, the remaining four Lu brothers had different expressions.

Especially Lu Yongfu and the others, cold sweat broke out on the spot. If the matter of scheming against Lu Yongyuan were to be brought up, they didn't know how Chen Jiajun would punish them.

You should know that Chen Jiajun is nominally their brother-in-law, but when it comes to disciplining these brothers-in-law, even Lu Hantao wouldn't interfere.

Half an hour passed in this awkward atmosphere before Lu Yongyuan finally returned from outside.

Seeing Chen Jiajun sitting in his seat drinking tea with Lu Hantao, Lu Yongyuan said awkwardly, "Jun, why are you back today?"

Chen Jiajun coldly said to Lu Yongyuan, "We're all family, why did you suddenly get involved with someone like Situ Guang?"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's question, everyone's hearts sank.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jiajun still found out about this.

Before Lu Yongyuan could speak, Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "I am originally an outsider and did not intend to interfere in the affairs of your Lu family brothers. However, it was my suggestion to Dad that he retire, and now that so many things have happened, I have to get involved even if I don't want to."

"Tell me, what exactly caused you to turn against Dad and get involved with those bastards like Situ Guang?"

Although Chen Jiajun's tone was calm, his expression left no room for doubt.
Lu Yongyuan remained silent for a moment before finally expressing the grievances he had been holding in.

Upon hearing Lu Yongyuan's accusations, Lu Hantao was clearly stunned. He had no idea that there were so many things he didn't know about Lu Yongyuan's family's land.

Lu Yongfu quickly said, "A Yuan, you're turning the tables on us. This was Uncle Tao's decision. It's fine if you disagree, but now you're talking about us and cooperating with outsiders?"

Hearing Lu Yongfu's sharp retort, Chen Jiajun's face darkened, and he said to Bai Lu beside him, "Give him a good talking-to and shut him up."

Bai Lu nodded, then delivered a powerful whip kick to Lu Yongfu's stomach, before lifting his head and slamming it against a nearby pillar, instantly silencing him.

One of the other brothers from the Lu family felt a tremor in his heart and quickly took two steps back.

Since things had come to this point, Lu Yongyuan decided to throw caution to the wind: "You want me to hand over the land for nothing, and then treat me like a fool? I won't accept this."

Upon hearing Lu Yongyuan's words, Chen Jiajun made no comment, only saying to him indifferently, "Even if you are in the right, don't you have my phone number? Or do you not consider yourself a member of the Lu family at all?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yongyuan immediately realized he was in the wrong and shut his mouth.

Seeing that the others were silent, Chen Jiajun rubbed his temples and said, "That piece of land you had, has it already been sold?"

"Yes."

"Sold to whom?"

"Liu Yaozu, the owner of a private club."

Hearing Chen Jiajun's conversation with the Lu brothers, Lu Hantao immediately sensed that something was wrong.

He coldly said to Lu Jinqiang and the others, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Lu Jinqiang and the others opened their mouths, but couldn't say a word.

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "I know you are resentful that outsiders have interfered in the Lu family's businesses, and that you people don't even have a chance to get involved. But as I said before, if you want to work for the Lu Guo Group, you must have the ability. You can't just think about making money by relying on your surname, Lu."

“You all have a share in the family trust funds that Uncle Tao bought, but now it seems that none of you are quite satisfied.”

No one dared to refute Chen Jiajun's words, because that was exactly what they thought.

Chen Jiajun glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Do what you are capable of. Have you demonstrated your capabilities to me? Apart from Jin Qiang, who else understands how the Lu Guo Group operates, or how the Dingwu Building will develop after its establishment? Has anyone?"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, the men's faces turned grim. They were only thinking about making money for themselves, not about developing a company.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "Trying to pull these little tricks in front of me, aren't you overestimating yourselves?"

"What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere in the affairs of the Lu family?" Lu Yongfu struggled to his feet and said fiercely, "If we let you continue like this, will the New Territories still be under the control of the Lu family?"

Upon hearing Lu Yongfu's words, everyone's expression changed.

"Ah Fu!" Even Lu Jinqiang shouted, trying to interrupt Lu Yongfu.

Unfortunately, Lu Yongfu was already short-tempered, and he couldn't stand being beaten up by Bai Lu.

Chen Jiajun sneered and stood up abruptly. Lu Yongyu tried to stop him but was pushed aside by Chen Jiajun.

Then he walked up to Lu Yongfu, grabbed his hair, and said in an icy tone, "Why? Because I'm much stronger than you. I can crush you like an ant with just one finger, isn't that enough?"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's chilling words, Lu Yongfu immediately panicked.

He had been caught up in the moment and blurted out what was on his mind, but now, facing Chen Jiajun, he couldn't utter a single word.

Chen Jiajun snorted coldly, put down Lu Yongfu's head, and said coldly, "If it weren't for my father's influence, if you weren't surnamed Lu, do you think you could still stand here and spout nonsense at me?"

No one knows Chen Jiajun better than them what kind of person he is.

It can only be said that Lu Jinqiang and his ilk were somewhat blinded by greed when faced with these interests.

The strength that Chen Jiajun has now demonstrated is like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads.

Of the brothers, only Lu Yongyuan felt a sense of satisfaction upon witnessing this scene.

However, when Lu Yongyuan saw Chen Jiajun's cold gaze, he felt a little uneasy.

Although Lu Jinqiang and others orchestrated this incident, it is an undeniable fact that he conspired with outsiders.

Now, seeing Chen Jiajun, he actually felt a little guilty.

"Has the land been sold?" Chen Jiajun asked Lu Yongyuan.

Lu Yongyuan swallowed hard and said, "Not yet, we've only signed the contract."

Chen Jiajun asked Lu Yongyu to take out his checkbook, then wrote down a string of numbers in it and handed it to Lu Yongyu, saying, "Is this enough?"

"Huh?" Lu Yongyuan said, somewhat surprised.

Chen Jiajun said impatiently, "Since you're unwilling to take the dividends from Lu Guo Group's shares, then I'll give you this money all at once. Is that enough?"

Looking at the string of numbers on the check, Lu Yongyuan was somewhat at a loss: "I...I didn't mean that."

"What does that mean?" Chen Jiajun asked, frowning.

"I'm just furious that Uncle Tao is biased." Now that things have come to this point, Lu Yongyuan mustered up the courage to speak his mind.

These words made Lu Hantao somewhat embarrassed. Although he didn't really have any biased intentions, it was indeed unfair to Lu Yongyuan.

After all, it's not uncommon for patriarchs like this to show favoritism.

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "In that case, I'll give you a fair deal. The company wants your land, and in addition to the shares you're entitled to, there will be monetary compensation. Is that alright?"

“Ah Jun, it’s fine that you’ve spoken, but what about Situ Guang and that Liu Yaozu?” Lu Yongyuan said hesitantly.

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "These things are none of your concern. I've already said that anyone who dares to touch the Lu Guo Group's projects will have their hands chopped off. Humph."

Seeing that Chen Jiajun resolved the matter in just a few words, Lu Hantao breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked coldly at the men of the Lu family and said, "Now that we've talked things out, let's start eating."

After this incident, Lu Hantao was completely disappointed with the men of the Lu family and planned to take away all the power they held, and, as Chen Jiajun suggested, hire a professional manager to take charge of the Lu Guo Group's affairs.

As for these individuals, with the trust fund in place, they certainly won't starve.

Chen Jiajun's reprimand today immediately deflated the Lu family brothers.

They dared to act all sorts of crazy in front of Lu Hantao, but they didn't dare to play any tricks in front of Chen Jiajun.

Because Chen Jiajun is truly ruthless.

After all, their status as the brother-in-law meant nothing in front of Chen Jiajun.

After an awkward family dinner, Lu Hantao went to find Chen Jiajun.

Lu Hantao sat there for a long time without saying a word.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Are you sad, sir?"

Lu Hantao nodded: "I'm not even dead yet, and they're already thinking about making money in Lu Country. Your idea back then was really right."

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "It's normal. You just can't let go of this matter. When one of them gets married and has children, you can personally take care of them and see if you can raise a third generation. Anyway, you're still in good health."

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Lu Hantao forced a smile and said, "That's all we can do. By the way, what are you going to do with Lu Yongyuan's land? Things that the four big bosses have swallowed up, I'm afraid they won't be so easy to spit out, will they?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "I had someone check, and the land hasn't reached the four bosses yet, but is in the hands of that Liu Yaozu. Besides, the money hasn't even been paid yet. There are too many ways to get it back."

Lu Hantao frowned and said, "A guy who can associate with the four big bosses and dares to interfere in Lu Guo Group is definitely not a simple person. You need to be careful and don't let anyone find any fault with you."

Chen Jiajun laughed: "You don't think I'm going to use any violent methods, do you?"

Lu Hantao didn't speak, he just looked at Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Unless absolutely necessary, I won't use Hung Hing's people in business matters. Doing so would easily give others a handle to use against me."

Chen Jiajun genuinely had no intention of resorting to violence. For someone of his stature to have Hung Hing gangsters do his bidding would be beneath him.

Moreover, since Liu Yaozu dared to get involved in this matter, he must have some kind of backing.

Lu Hantao nodded and said, "It's good that you have a solution. I will hold a shareholders' meeting first thing tomorrow morning to remove Lu Jinqiang and others from their positions in the company. That will be a satisfactory explanation."

"There's no need to condemn him outright. I think Jin Qiang did a pretty good job," Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

Lu Hantao snorted coldly and said, "I don't believe Lu Jinqiang didn't know about this. Even if he didn't do it, it's still inaction. People always have to pay a price for doing something wrong."

"I'm glad you're happy." Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "It's already very late, you should get some rest."

The following day, Lu Hantao convened a shareholders' meeting and, in front of all shareholders, dismissed Lu Jinqiang and his brothers from their positions within the Lu Guo Group. This immediately brought a sigh of relief to the team leaders that Huo Yingnan had brought in.

You know, in a group, what the people who actually do the work hate most is an outsider like Lu Yongfu who doesn't understand anything but likes to meddle.

Seeing that Chen Jiajun was also present, the brothers didn't dare to utter a word and obediently handed over their duties.

After settling things with the Lu Guo Group, Chen Jiajun began investigating Liu Yaozu.

Silva went to England to seek revenge on Mrs. M, and the intelligence group hasn't started reforms yet. However, investigating a businessman with a name and background is still a piece of cake for the intelligence department.

Soon, the intelligence officers arrived at Chen Jiajun's office with the documents: "Boss, here are the materials you requested."

Chen Jiajun flipped through Liu Yaozu's information and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

This Liu Yaozu is truly a talented individual; not only is he highly educated, but he's also a returnee from overseas.

He's just not a very good person, but he's very ambitious.

After returning to China, he married the daughter of a wealthy man, even going so far as to become a son-in-law of the rich man.

For a period of time afterward, he worked for a wealthy businessman's company.

Normally, after the wealthy businessman's death, all the real estate companies under his name would belong to Liu Yaozu.

However, the wealthy businessman found out that Liu Yaozu was having affairs with women and embezzling company funds.

So this guy went on a rampage and killed the rich businessman's daughter, and even bribed corrupt police officers to pin the murder on the rich businessman.

He not only got his father-in-law imprisoned, but also seized all of the wealthy businessman's assets.

During this period, he also managed to get on the good side of the four major bosses, and because of his ruthless approach to things, he actually thrived.

"He's a complete scumbag." After reviewing the information, Chen Jiajun said to his witch doctor subordinate, "Have you found any weaknesses in this guy?"

“This guy loves gambling. His private club is actually an underground casino. He has a private room reserved for his use.” The subordinate thought for a moment and said, “And he likes to go to Macau every year to gamble a couple of times. He can be considered a big spender.”

"A fondness for gambling is not a good habit," Chen Jiajun said, sounding quite pleased upon hearing his subordinate's report.

Chen Jiajun has plenty of ways to deal with gambling addicts.

After all, such people are born with weaknesses, making them the easiest to deal with.

Chen Jiajun pondered for a moment, then called Yaqi over.

To deal with this kind of gambler, sending a con artist is the most suitable option.

As for con artists who make a living in the underworld, Yaqi must know quite a few of them.

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's request, Yaqi immediately thought, "You know what, there are actually a few skilled con artists running away with their money in our territory lately."

"Oh? What's your background?" Chen Jiajun asked, immediately intrigued.

“Three petty swindlers used the name of our Hongsheng Film and Television to cheat a lecherous young boss,” Yaqi said with a smile. “Originally, Dafei was going to let these swindlers ride in a cheap plane, but now they’re ripping people off.”

After hearing this, Chen Jiajun laughed and said, "That's interesting. After Dafei hits someone, don't rush to deal with them. I have something I need them to do."

Yachi nodded and said, "Understood, boss. I'll let you know as soon as Dafei catches the person." (End of Chapter)
