Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Time flies, and Randolph's report was soon published in the Miami Herald.

Moreover, the title was quite sensational, reminiscent of the clickbait tactics used by later self-media.

"Shocking. The promising young medical doctor turned out to be a fraud."

"Shocking inside story: Blood and Testing is a complete fraudulent company."

"An insider revealed that the experimental approach was not feasible and that the blood and test results were suspected of being falsified."

"The Lancet should conduct an internal review of its paper submission mechanism."

"A shocking scam!"

In no time, all the media outlets followed up on the story.

However, only the Miami Herald has the most comprehensive information.

There are even video interviews with researchers from Marvin's team.

This brought Randolph, who had been silent for a long time, back into the spotlight throughout North America.

This bombshell news, once it reached Wall Street, immediately caused a wave of panic.

Subsequently, the stock price of "Blood & Testing" began to plummet.

The speed was so fast that even some well-informed investment institutions were caught off guard.

In a short period of time, the stocks in his hands could not be sold immediately and were stuck in his hands.

If investment institutions are like this, then retail investors are even more so.

The market opened at 9:00 AM, and before 9:30 AM, it experienced its first limit down.

Based on this trend, there seems to be no lower limit for this company's stock price for the foreseeable future.

At this point, the effectiveness of Cao Weicai's short selling of "Blood and Testing" company became apparent.

While others are struggling with how to sell their stocks,
Cao Weicai made a fortune in the stock market.

Given that "Blood & Testing" is valued at $1.7 billion, this deal could net at least half of that.

Now, the stockbrokers who were helping Cao Weicai with his investments all regarded him as a stock market guru.

He had his suspicions about insider trading.

The question is, what kind of insider trading can be kept secret from Wall Street?
The fact that many investment banks on Wall Street failed to exit successfully this time shows how shocked the stockbroker community was.

"Boss, shall we continue?" the stockbroker asked Cao Weicai timidly.

Cao Weicai said calmly, "Why not? It's only been two limit-down days. Don't worry, there's more to come."

News of the stock market crash on Wall Street quickly reached Japan.

The wealthy people in Japan immediately became anxious.

They had only been investing for a short time when "Blood and Testing Vehicles" suddenly collapsed.

If you say there's nothing going on inside, they'd never believe you even if you beat them to death.

Immediately, some wealthy people began searching for Frank, the culprit behind the incident.

Unfortunately, after dealing with the shareholders, jewelry, and gold, Frank took the items and headed straight to America. By the time they remembered to look for him, he had already been gone for two days.

They finally realized what was happening, but it was too late.

As a result, several wealthy Japanese immediately set off for America, intending to cause trouble for that investment company; they had encountered financial robbers.

Cao Weicai was exhausted these past two days, and after relaxing, he slept soundly for days on end.

I slept for two days before finally getting out of bed.

Just as I was about to ask the hotel staff to bring me some food, I suddenly noticed that there was an extra person in the living room of the hotel suite.

"You're finally awake. You've had a hard time these past few days," Chen Jiajun said to Cao Weicai with a smile.

Although Cao Weicai looked exhausted, he still managed a smile and said, "Serving the big boss is not hard work."

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "Alright, we're family now, no need for such formalities. You look like you haven't eaten anything, order something to eat first, and we'll chat later."

"Yes." Cao Weicai didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up the phone and asked the hotel staff to bring over a lot of food, which he then began to wolf down.

After they finished eating, Chen Jiajun handed them a cigar, and the two sat on the sofa and started chatting.

"Boss, the profits this time are around six to seven hundred million. As for the jewelry, antiques, and gold, we can't estimate them yet." Cao Wei lit a cigar and said to Chen Jiajun, "But we've had them appraised, and the total value is around two billion."

“Not bad.” Chen Jiajun immediately smiled. “It wasn’t for nothing that we spent so much time setting up this scheme.”

"Now that we've made the money, we should think about how to spend it. I don't plan to bring the working capital back with me; the taxes are just too high. I plan to spend it all in America."

Cao Weicai exclaimed in surprise, "All of them?"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Isn't the point of making money to spend it? Besides leaving 100 million to invest in Intel, what are your plans for the rest of the money?"

Cao Weicai shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. The United States is said to be an immigrant country, but it is not actually friendly to outsiders. If we are too aggressive, we may lose everything."

Chen Jiajun nodded: "What do you think we should do?"

Cao Weicai stroked his chin and said, "I think it's best if we have a powerful backer, otherwise our assets in North America are no different from a piece of meat in someone else's mouth. And this backer can't be the government. What those congressmen say is not even as reliable as what those prostitutes say."

Chen Jiajun nodded: "That makes sense. I don't know much about the situation in North America. What do you think we should do?"

After thinking for a long time, Cao Weicai finally spoke to Chen Jiajun: "First of all, we need someone with American citizenship. And they must stay in the United States year-round."

It's obvious that Chen Jiajun can't stay here year-round. If he wanted to work in America, he could have come here long ago, instead of waiting until now.

So Chen Jiajun looked at Cao Weicai and said, "I think you can do it."

"Huh?" Cao Weicai's eyes widened immediately, and he pointed at himself, saying, "Me?"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "You should have obtained your identity here a long time ago, right?"

“That’s right. But boss…” Cao Weicai seemed a little hesitant.

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "Don't have any concerns. I trust those I employ and don't employ those I don't trust. If I think you're capable, then you're good enough."

Chen Jiajun's trust immediately inspired Cao Weicai to dedicate himself wholeheartedly, even unto death.

Cao Wei nodded and said, "Since the big boss needs me, I certainly won't hesitate."

Chen Jiajun smiled but did not reply.

He was a very rational person, knowing that apart from the characters he had summoned and their derivatives, no one in this world would be loyal to him forever.

However, someone like Cao Weicai is enough.

Capable and intelligent.

Moreover, with White Queen and Old Evil by his side, who could see through people's hearts, he wasn't worried at all. So Chen Jiajun asked directly, "Enough of the small talk, tell me your plans for the future."

Cao Weicai nodded and said, "I had considered this when you asked last time, and now there are two solutions. Although neither is easy, they can completely get us out of our current predicament."

"Tell me, what's the plan?" Chen Jiajun immediately became interested upon hearing Cao Weicai's words.

Chen Jiajun knew Cao Weicai well; he wouldn't easily speak unless he was absolutely certain.

“First, the more difficult one is campaign support. You can start by targeting state legislators. Eventually, you could even reach the White House. For that, you must be an American.” Cao Weicai held up one finger and said, “This is a big gamble. And there are many uncertainties, such as those despicable politicians turning against you. You can keep that as a backup plan.”

After listening, Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Not bad, what about second place?"

"The second is to find a way to join a conglomerate," Cao Weicai continued. "America is, after all, a capitalist society. Only by becoming part of capital can one truly take root."

After listening, Chen Jiajun nodded: "But this method must be very difficult."

Cao Weicai nodded and said, "That's right. You can't just join a conglomerate whenever you want. They usually invite you, and you need to be a leader in a certain field. That can take a long time."

Upon hearing Cao Weicai's words, Chen Jiajun immediately stroked his chin and began to ponder.

Both of these conditions are indeed very difficult, but they are not entirely impossible.

This period is an era of technological explosion, where anything is possible.

For example, the internet has created several behemoths.

"Boss, boss?" Cao Weicai called out to Chen Jiajun several times before he came to his senses, seeing that Chen Jiajun was deep in thought. "Do you have something on your mind?"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "I do have some ideas, but I need to study them for a while."

Cao Weicai looked at Chen Jiajun and said, "Then what about me?"

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "You've worked hard these past few days. I'll give you and Frank a break. You two can rest for a few months first."

Cao Weicai nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, boss."

Just as Chen Jiajun was about to get up, there was a knock on the door of the suite.

When I opened the door, a group of foreigners in suits and uniforms were blocking the entrance.

The leader, a foreigner, immediately flashed his badge and said to Cao Weicai, "Mr. Cao, IRS (Internal Revenue Service). This is an arrest warrant. Please come with us."

Upon seeing these foreigners, Chen Jiajun immediately frowned. He hadn't expected that the IRS would come to his door in person.

Cao Weicai was taken aback at first, then said very cooperatively, "Wait a moment, could you let me change my clothes?"

The foreigner in the lead nodded: "But it has to be somewhere we can see it."

Cao Weicai gave Chen Jiajun a wink, then changed his clothes and left with him.

Cao Weicai had discussed this matter with Chen Jiajun before. Those Wall Street vampires, having suffered such a huge loss, certainly wouldn't let it go so easily. They would probably put pressure on them in various ways.

However, Cao Weicai handled it very well. He was a Wall Street native and knew how to deal with this kind of thing, so he didn't show any panic on his face.

However, I'm still very unhappy.

Watching these foreigners take Cao Weicai away, Chen Jiajun took out his phone and contacted a lawyer.

Moreover, it is one of the most famous law firms in the United States, the Slate & Ladbrokes law firm.

Since he has money, Chen Jiajun doesn't mind playing by the rules with them. At worst, he can just file a lawsuit against them.

As for Frank, he's managed to evade the FIB's investigation for so many years, so he definitely won't be found so easily. Let him go into hiding.

Frank, who was vacationing on the beach in Miami, received a call from Chen Jiajun.

As soon as he opened his mouth, I knew that Cao Weicai had been arrested by the IRS and that they would definitely take action against him.

"Be careful," Chen Jiajun reminded Frank.

Frank smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss. I'm planning to stay in Macau for a while, and I'll set off right now."

"Heh, you're quite clever, you rascal," Chen Jiajun said with a laugh. "Go contact my people at SJM Holdings. They'll treat you well."

"Hehe, thanks boss. I have to go now." Frank hung up the phone as soon as he saw a few silly-looking guys in suits on the beach and made a quick getaway.

In the following days, Chen Jiajun continued to discuss matters with lawyers from the law firm of SATA.

The lawyer also rushed to the IRS immediately to support Cao Weicai.

I have to say, the top three law firms in the US are really useful.

Cao Weicai was released on bail despite insufficient evidence against him.

Although he was restricted from leaving New York, at least he's out now.

"How are you? Are you alright?" Chen Jiajun asked Cao Weicai.

Cao Weicai laughed and said, "It's alright, even the infamous IRS can't do anything to me. Those guys don't have enough evidence; they're just trying to pull a fast one."

Chen Jiajun snorted coldly: "That's just the nature of these foreigners. When they realize they can't outmaneuver others, they resort to thuggery."

Cao Weicai said with some concern, "I'm within the rules, so they won't dare to use other methods. I'm more worried about Frank. Those guys don't care about the rules when dealing with Frank."

Chen Jiajun laughed and said, "Frank is a very clever guy. He was already outsmarting the FBI when he was 17. He had already planned his escape route. He's probably gambling in a casino in Macau right now. That's my territory, so there's nothing to worry about."

"That's good." Cao Weicai smiled as well.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Jiajun and Cao Weicai met with the lawyer in charge of the case.

American lawyers are generally very ethical when it comes to getting paid to do their jobs.

After Cao Weicai recounted the events, the lawyer said confidently, "Mr. Cao, I understand the situation. Please rest assured, the IRS has absolutely no evidence to arrest you. If they dare to act recklessly, we will teach them a lesson."

Cao Weicai extended his hand and shook hands with the lawyer, saying, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, Attorney Harrison."

Harrison nodded and said, "But you must be careful not to leave New York during this time, otherwise the situation will be very unfavorable for you."

"I understand." Cao Weicai nodded, then asked curiously, "Can I find out who reported me to the IRS?"

Harrison said with a smile, "Damocles Investment Company."

"Wait, what company did you say it was again?" Chen Jiajun, who had been listening in, suddenly spoke up.

“Damocles Corporation,” Harrison said, puzzled. “Is there a problem?”

Chen Jiajun frowned and said, "Mr. Harrison, could you help investigate the background of this company? Does this investment company have a parent company with the same name?"

Harrison nodded and readily agreed: "No problem, sir."

After seeing the lawyer off, Cao Wei asked curiously, "Boss, is there something wrong with this Damocles company?"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "I seem to have heard of this company somewhere before." (End of Chapter)
