Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 34 The calm before the storm

After settling the matter, Chen Jiajun sent his visiting card to a garment factory in the Kwun Tong Industrial Area. The factory owner immediately came to Chung Hwa Cafe in Mong Kok and invited Chen Jiajun over for tea.

Chung Hwa Bing Sutt is one of the oldest ice rooms in Hong Kong, located in Mong Kok.

The exterior is unremarkable, and the signboard has turned dark and yellow.

However, this does not prevent it from becoming the first choice for various underworld figures in the Yau Tsim Mong area to negotiate deals.

Leading a group of burly, ferocious-looking young demon slaves, Chen Jiajun sat down and lazily said, "I'm Jun, the handsome guy from Causeway Bay, Hung Hing. Have you heard of me?"

"I know, Brother Jun."

In front of this recently outspoken and powerful figure in the underworld, Boss Li was as docile as a quail.

Chen Jiajun said, "I've got my eye on your factory building, or rather, the land it's on. Give me a price, and I won't haggle. You can take the equipment. Also, I'd like to invite your employees over to train my staff."

Mr. Li trembled; he had already understood Chen Jiajun's unspoken message.

Knowing the unwritten rules of the underworld, he quickly picked up his teacup and took a small sip: "Brother Jun, since you think so highly of me, I can give you all the equipment. I'm willing to be your friend!"

“Alright, Mr. Li, I’m determined to be your friend. Name your price?” Chen Jiajun asked with a smile.

"The land is 20,000 square meters, 600... no, no, I'll give you 5 million."

The factory owner kept lowering the price, afraid of angering Chen Jiajun in front of him.

Chen Jiajun nodded in satisfaction: "I don't need your equipment. This 500,000 yuan is a deposit. I will transfer the rest to you within two weeks. When it comes time to pay the final payment, just bring both of our lawyers to sign the contract."

"Brother Jun, you're so generous. I'll go back and clear out the factory for you right away." The factory owner wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.

For Mr. Li, he could easily make a comeback by simply moving his original team and equipment to a different location. Giving the factory to Chen Jiajun was just a matter of changing the factory site.

Over the next two days, as soon as Mr. Li vacated the factory, Chen Jiajun led a large group to the Kwun Tong Industrial Zone, purchased a garment factory capsule on the original site, and built a fully equipped garment factory out of thin air.

Just a few days ago, Chen Jiajun was a multi-millionaire, but now he only has 300 million left, and that's without having paid the remaining 450 million for the factory.

Don't be fooled by the fact that three million is an astronomical sum in Hong Kong these days; he still has so many young demon slaves to support.

In other words, these young demon slaves don't need to be paid wages; if they were, the money would only last for a month.

At this moment, the vicious Chen Jiajun was already eager to get rid of Wang Bao!

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

On the way back to Causeway Bay, Wang Bao called: "Handsome Jun, what about what I mentioned to you before? What's your thought about it?"

"Hehe, Bao Ye, you're an old hand at this, you understand the rules of the game, it's cash on delivery."

What does Hei Shuiqiang's business have to do with me, Chen Jiajun? This matter should never be attributed to me.

Chen Jiajun sneered, his meaning quite clear.

"Heh, so you're unwilling to compensate me for my losses? Fine, then you can bring your brothers and territory and switch sides with me. From now on, you'll be my second-in-command. Not only that, I'll give you two more streets!"

Wang Bao's deep voice came from the other end of the microphone.

“Brother Bao, stop joking. I’m doing just fine in Hung Hing, why would I switch sides?” Chen Jiajun rubbed his neck.

Wang Bao, puffing on his cigar, said, "Ah Jun, I know you're a smart man. Everyone can see that Hung Hing doesn't support you. Believe me or not, I'll take down your place. Even Boss B won't help you."

"It doesn't matter. If Master Bao wants to have some fun, then I'll play along to the end."

Anyway, I'm not doing big business like you. I'm fine with not doing this little business. If you come and clear out the place, I'll just close my stall.

From this day forward, we'll fight you from morning till night, until the anti-triad unit gets involved and the police take down both of our flags. Let's see who suffers the greater loss.

Despite the threat from Wang Bao, a powerful figure in the underworld, Chen Jiajun showed no fear whatsoever.

Wang Bao's smile widened: "Not bad, I admire you. I'll give you a few more days to think it over. Think it over carefully yourself."

……

The villa of Hung Hing leader Chiang Tin-sang. Hung Hing's White Paper Fan Chen Yao, with a serious expression, reports to Chiang Tin-sang what he saw and heard during his meeting with Chen Jiajun.

Jiang Tiansheng, a cigar between his fingers, swirled his wine glass and sneered:
"How dare he hang out with Liang Kun? He's so arrogant and ignorant. It's time to teach him a lesson."

"If Wang Bao tries to take over Tang Jun's territory, no one is allowed to help him."

"Furthermore, if Chen Jiajun dares to cross the line, you should immediately have the Crown Prince eliminate Chen Jiajun."

Jiang Tiansheng's face was extremely gloomy at this moment, and his tone was also quite terrifying.

Back then, Axe Jun secretly switched sides to Sun Kee without Hung Hing's knowledge, and Hung Hing fought Sun Kee for several years.

“Yes, I understand.” Chen Yao nodded steadily. “Also, during this period, Liang Kun has been meeting with quite a few FIT members from Hung Hing in private…”

“Ah Yao, let’s put Liang Kun’s matter aside for now.” After listening, Jiang Tiansheng shook his head and continued, “There is an important matter right now. You will come with me to Macau tomorrow.”

……

Upon returning to Hennessy Road, Chen Jiajun immediately called the old villain back.

"Old Evil, how's the situation after these past few days of investigation?"

The old man said excitedly, "Just as you said, Wang Bao will make a big move in three days. He has prepared 50 million in cash to trade with the Eight-Faced Buddha in northern Myanmar at Cha Guo Ling!"

It seems that what Wang Bao and Chen Jiajun said was true.

He does indeed have a shipment in the hands of Hei Shuiqiang.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have mobilized so much money at once—a full 50 million for laundry detergent. It seems he has big ambitions.

Chen Jiajun immediately said, "Let the brothers rest and recuperate for the next few days. We're going to have a big operation in three days!"

"yes, Sir!"

……

At the same time, Wang Bao also gathered his key henchmen.

"Everyone should be careful these next few days and stay alert."

"If Hung Hing's handsome Jun still doesn't back down after the deal is done, then I won't be polite and will take over Hung Hing's territory on Lockhart Road and Hennessy Road!"

“When the time comes, Ah Ji, you should go and get rid of Handsome Jun,” Wang Bao said in a deep voice.

His trusted lieutenant, the white-clad assassin Ah-Jack, asked worriedly, "Brother Bao, will Hung Hing make any moves?"

"Don't worry. The Hung Hing people won't step in to help."

Old people are clever, and old ghosts are cunning.

As a seasoned veteran of the underworld, Wang Bao, though an outsider, saw things more clearly than anyone else.

"I also received information that Fat Dog from Macau is currently negotiating with Chiang Tin-sang of Hung Hing. Fat Dog wants to take a 30% cut from each of Hung Hing's gambling tables."

“Jiang Tiansheng is currently focusing his energy on the Macau business and doesn’t have time to deal with this kind of thing. You can do it boldly.”

"Yes!"

Aji and Bao Ye's men responded in unison.

In the next two days.

The atmosphere in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay was extremely tense.

Boss B hasn't shown up at all these past two days because he was slapped by Jiang Tiansheng.

Rumors also circulated in the underworld that Bao Ye, the underground emperor of Wan Chai, seemed to be targeting Jun, the recently outspoken Hung Hing "Straw Sandal Handsome Boy".

Wan Chai and Causeway Bay suddenly became powder kegs, seemingly on the verge of exploding.
