Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

After settling matters with Luk Kwok Group, Chen Jiajun spent the night in the New Territories before returning to the company the next day.

Su Xingbai is currently locked in a fierce battle with La Jiang, and it's unlikely that a clear winner will emerge anytime soon.

On the other hand, in Japan, the results are already beginning to show.

The landlord was also a master at foreign exchange trading, manipulating the dollar to fall and the yen to rise. His maneuvering was so sophisticated that it left others bewildered, and even those who wanted to follow suit didn't know where to begin.

Apart from the left-wing businessmen who made a fortune, the others didn't even get close to the door.

Chen Jiajun visited Sima Xiang's investment company to learn about the situation.

"Boss, we can't continue like this." Sima Xiang shook his head and said, "Now a lot of foreign capital has started to take notice of our operations. I estimate that if we continue to hype it up, we will suffer considerable losses."

These foreigners in the financial world have always been the kind of people who harm others without benefiting themselves.

Seeing you make money is more painful than him losing money. Since Sima Xiang has made his judgment, Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "You guys handle it. Have you seen any activity from those companies I asked you to investigate?"

Sima Xiang said with a smile, "The bubble is still expanding. I estimate that Japan won't be able to hold on for much longer. However, I think we should go to Japan ourselves."

"Then let's go," Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

He taught HSBC a lesson by using the money he made from investing in the Japanese stock market.

He paid off all the loans in one go, which made HSBC and the Englishmen uncomfortable for quite some time.

Now they want to take another piece of flesh from those Japanese companies, which seems quite excessive to outsiders.

But for Chen Jiajun, not only did he not feel any psychological burden, he even felt that he was not ruthless enough.

The bubble economy in Japan is clearly not going to burst anytime soon, so I should step in and give it another push.

Therefore, he agreed to Sima Xiang's proposal without hesitation.

Although the yen's exchange rate seems to be rising steadily in the foreign exchange market, the landlords' association is already preparing to withdraw.

Due to international policy reasons, the landlords won't get much this time.

That's roughly seven or eight hundred million US dollars in revenue, but that's enough to make left-wing businessmen happy.

Next, we will turn our attention to the semiconductor industry in Japan.

This time, Chen Jiajun wanted to eat alone and had no intention of sharing with others.

Japan, Tokyo.

As soon as Chen Jiajun and Sima Xiang got off the plane, they were warmly received by a local.

"Boss, this is Daichi Aoyama, the president of Aoyama Electronics," Sima Xiang immediately introduced to Chen Jiajun.

Aoyama Daichi greeted Chen Jiajun very politely, and then invited Chen Jiajun into the car.

Aoyama Electronics is not well-known among the many semiconductor companies in Japan.

It's not even on the same level as established manufacturers like Toshiba, Tokyo Metropolitan Equipment, and Hitachi, which rank among the top.

In the 70s, Japan had become the new king of the semiconductor industry. At that time, Japan surpassed the United States in the memory sector of the computer market, and with the support of the domestic consumer market, it occupied half of the world's semiconductor market.

However, this period of good fortune was short-lived. After the Hiroshima Agreement was signed, the Americans began to exert pressure step by step.

Let's not go into the matter of the yen's appreciation, as that's already happened.

Recently, it has been reported that the United States will not allow a large trade deficit with Japan.

It even limited the development of the neon semiconductor industry.

As a smart man, Qingshan knew he couldn't fight city hall, so he was already planning his escape route by splitting up Qingshan Electronics and selling it off.

Just then, Sima Xiang came to their door again, and the two sides hit it off immediately.

The two talked for a while in the car and soon arrived at a nightclub.

Aoyama Daichi planned to give Chen Jiajun and Sima Xiang a proper welcome dinner, and Chen Jiajun couldn't refuse.

Unable to refuse their hospitality, Chen Jiajun and Sima Xiang had no choice but to follow Qingshan Dazhi into the nightclub.

Japan's nightclub culture is highly developed, and its service is far superior to anything Hong Kong can offer.

In the nightclub, Aoyama Daichi refused to continue discussing business with Chen Jiajun, opting instead to talk about romance and tell dirty jokes.

Chen Jiajun knew that this guy was testing his and Sima Xiang's patience.

These Japanese devils are also very cunning. If you act too eager, they might open their bloody mouths wide when they start asking for a price.

So Chen Jiajun relaxed and started chatting with the other person.

As the conversation deepened, Chen Jiajun couldn't help but marvel at how perverse the Japanese were, even feeling somewhat physically uncomfortable.

Sima Xiang seized the opportunity and took the initiative to end the welcoming banquet.

Now the initiative was back in Chen Jiajun's hands. Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "It's getting late. We've been on a plane all day and we're a bit tired. Let's talk about the rest tomorrow."

Chen Jiajun's move completely stunned Aoyama Daichi.

However, there was no other way at the moment, so he could only force a smile and nod, preparing to hold formal negotiations again tomorrow.

Just as everyone was about to pay and leave, the cashier presented Aoyama Daichi with an exorbitant bill, which infuriated him.

"You idiot, do you know who I am? How dare you use such tricks against me?" Aoyama Daichi felt he had lost face in front of a distinguished guest like Chen Jiajun, and immediately started cursing.

But since the other party dared to pull such a stunt, they must have been confident.

According to the information given by the hostess beside him, the other party had already figured out where Aoyama Daichi came from. He sneered and said, "I know you are President Aoyama, but you still have to pay for your consumption, right? Besides, the Matsuba-kai behind you is not qualified to swagger in front of my Yamaguchi-gumi."

The other party had adopted a position of complete dominance over Aoyama Daichi, which made Aoyama Daichi grind his teeth in frustration.
Indeed, just as my younger brother said, the strength of the Matsuba Association, the backer of Aoyama Daichi, in JD.com is no match for the Yamaguchi-gumi. Now they can only swallow this bitter pill.

After suppressing her anger and paying the bill, she prepared to leave this shady shop with Chen Jiajun as soon as possible.

What no one expected was that it was precisely Aoyama Daichi's act of yielding that made these bastards from the Yamaguchi-gumi even more unscrupulous.

The two drunken scoundrels actually pointed at Bai Lu next to Chen Jiajun, intending to make Bai Lu stay and keep him company while he drank.

This immediately enraged Aoyama Daichi: "You bastards, do you want to die?"

Unfortunately, the Yamaguchi-gumi members, who were already caught up in the moment, wouldn't listen to any of it. They slapped Aoyama to the ground and then, with lewd smiles on their faces, went to pull Shiratsuyu away.

Chen Jiajun could hardly stand this idiot anymore. He shook his head, sighed, and said, "I've seen people courting death, but I've never seen anyone courting death like this."

As he spoke, he and Sima Xiang took a step back to avoid getting blood on their expensive suits.

Bai Lu grinned maliciously and delivered a straight punch to the face of a Yamaguchi-gumi member.

This punch sent the drunken thug flying through the air. Upon landing, he smashed through a row of seats.

This action immediately drew the attention of the Yamaguchi-gumi members in the nightclub, who glared angrily at the group.

Chen Jiajun took out a handkerchief, wiped the back of his hand, and said indifferently, "The local gangs are really rude."

To Aoyama Daichi's astonishment, the stunningly beautiful office lady next to Chen Jiajun charged straight at the Yamaguchi-gumi bastards.

Almost every punch and kick resulted in the fall of a Yamaguchi-gumi member.

Within minutes, almost no one from the Yamaguchi-gumi gang was left standing.

The men on the perimeter, terrified, immediately drew their pistols.

"Damn it, who are you people?" The Yamaguchi-gumi gangsters were even somewhat afraid of the expressionless woman.

It's like the fear of facing a top predator.

This bar is located in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, so they should be able to get backup quickly if they call for help.

Chen Jiajun wasn't there to cause trouble, so he could only stop Bai Lu from continuing her attack. Then he said to the Yamaguchi-gumi members, "Go tell your boss that I have a good relationship with your Yamaguchi-gumi's direct leader, Takenaka Masahisa, and have your boss come and talk to me."

As he spoke, Chen Jiajun gave Aoyama Daichi a wink, and the guy immediately got up and began translating for the Yamaguchi-gumi gang.

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, the Yamaguchi-gumi members' expressions immediately changed.

He quickly picked up the phone to notify his boss.

Chen Jiajun chuckled, sat back down in the booth, lit a cigar, and acted as if no one else was there.

Hung Hing did have some business dealings with the Yamaguchi-gumi, but not in Hong Kong, but in Macau.

The Yamaguchi-gumi has a casino in Macau, which happens to be located within the area under Chan Ka-Chun's jurisdiction.

Through these back-and-forth exchanges, the two sides established some contact.

Although we weren't particularly close, we could at least strike up a conversation.

This is clearly sufficient for the situation.

About half an hour later, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face arrived in a flurry with his henchmen.

As soon as he entered, he slapped the person in charge of the venue hard across the face.

The visitor then walked directly up to Chen Jiajun and said very politely, "It turns out that it is Mr. Jiajun who has come to visit in person. I did not expect this. I am Nakanishi Kazuo, a direct descendant of the Yamaguchi-gumi."

Japan has a clear hierarchy, prioritizes loyalty, and has a well-organized and sophisticated structure, making it far more complex than the mafia.

The entire clan is usually managed by a group leader, who has several younger brothers, cadres, and sub-leaders, forming a pyramid structure. In addition, each region has its own leaders, deputies, advisors, and numerous ordinary members.

"How is Mr. Takenaka? I met him in Macau last time, and I still remember his charm vividly," Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

The man from the Central Plains smiled and said, "Thank you for your inquiry, Mr. Chen. My boss would like to invite you to visit our home tomorrow."

“Tell Mr. Takenaka that I will come to visit tomorrow afternoon.” Chen Jiajun nodded and said, “Now, can my men and I leave?”

Nakanishi Kazuo quickly replied, "Of course, I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you."

Chen Jiajun was too lazy to make things difficult for his underlings, so he left the nightclub with Qingshan Dazhi.

As soon as he stepped outside, Aoyama Taichi bowed deeply to Chen Jiajun at a 90-degree angle to express his apologies for the disappointing incident that day.

Nobody wants this to happen, but Chen Jiajun didn't make things difficult for him. They simply agreed to discuss it the next morning.

Aoyama Daichi completely changed his previous cunning demeanor and treated Chen Jiajun as if he were his superior.

He personally opened the car door for Chen Jiajun and only left after seeing Chen Jiajun off.

In the car, Sima Xiang said with a smile, "Boss, it seems that this commotion has actually brought us some benefits. We can now take control of the negotiations tomorrow."

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "I would rather not have this benefit."

"Huh? Why?"

Sima Xiang asked with a puzzled look, "The Yamaguchi-gumi seems to respect you a lot."

Chen Jiajun sneered: "Is that the Yamaguchi-gumi? It's obviously Nakanishi Kazuo's own attitude. If it were Takenaka Masahisa, those guys at the nightclub would be in trouble. Obviously, that guy is still very unhappy with the commotion I caused on his turf."

Sima Xiang wasn't a member of the gang and wasn't very clear about some of the ins and outs, so he shrugged and stopped talking.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Jiajun went straight to his room to rest.

Even someone as energetic as Chen Jiajun would feel uncomfortable after sitting on a plane for a long time.

The next morning, Chen Jiajun began business negotiations with Aoyama Daitomo.

After yesterday's events, Aoyama Daitomo now regards Chen Jiajun as someone with immense influence and connections.

So with almost no haggling, the company's division was sold to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun quickly obtained the technology and some patents he needed, so the trip was definitely worthwhile.

Having settled things here, Chen Jiajun handed over the business matters to Sima Xiang.

They then led their men directly to Masahisa Takenaka's villa.

Having promised to pay a visit, Chen Jiajun naturally wouldn't go back on his word.

However, upon arriving at Takenaka Masahisa's villa, Chen Jiajun immediately saw a large group of Yakuza men in suits. These guys all had fierce eyes, as if they wanted to devour people.

An ordinary person would probably be scared out of their wits by now.

But for Chen Jiajun, those Japanese Yakuza are nothing.

No matter how fierce you are, you're not as fierce as a demon that came out of hell.

This was just a show of force that Masahisa Takenaka was trying to give him.

Chen Jiajun sneered and strode into the villa, not even glancing at the Yakuza.

Upon entering the villa, Chen Jiajun saw the boss of the largest yakuza gang in Japan.

Masahisa Takenaka, the fourth chairman of the Yamaguchi-gumi.

This guy was quite old, his hair was completely white, and he was wearing a white suit and drinking tea.

If it weren't for the large tattoos protruding from his neck, one would have mistaken him for a kind businessman. (End of Chapter)
