Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

The eldest son changed the subject, saying to Li Jiacheng, "Dad, is there any way to remedy this now?"

Li Jiacheng said irritably, "Finding a middleman to pass on a message isn't difficult!"

The eldest son quickly said, "I'll make the call right now!"

There was no business dealings between Li Ka-shing and Chan Ka-chun, and they even had some disagreements, so they could only talk through an intermediary.

The middleman readily agreed, but the other party called again a dozen minutes later.

Then, the eldest son's face immediately turned ugly.

Li Jiacheng asked curiously, "What did the other party say? They refused to settle?"

The eldest son shook his head and said, "No! Chen Jiajun sent a message through the middleman: you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Since the second son has provoked us again and again, he should apologize to us first!"

Li Jiacheng immediately felt a chill run down his spine: "What does Chen Jiajun want to do?"

The second young master also panicked at this moment, standing in the living room at a loss.

The eldest son shook his head: "I don't know, the middleman only brought this one sentence!"

“You…” Li Jiacheng’s temper flared up instantly, and he glared at the second young master through gritted teeth.

Chen Jiajun's statement clearly indicates that he has already begun planning a retaliatory operation.

I wonder what methods this guy will use!
Thinking about what he and Yud had seen—the CIA and MI6 intelligence points that had been wiped out overnight—Li Jiacheng felt a chill run down his spine.

The eldest son frowned and said, "Father, what do we do now?"

"What are we going to do? Just let it be!" Li Jiacheng said angrily. "Butler Zhou, you keep a close eye on this kid. If he dares to take a single step out of here, break both his legs!"

Upon hearing Li Jiacheng's anger, the butler immediately nodded.

"Prepare the car, I'm going to Government House!" After thinking for a moment, Li Ka-shing grabbed his clothes, told the butler to prepare the car, and hurriedly walked out!

After hanging up the middleman's call, Chen Jiajun sneered and immediately sent someone to find an entertainment reporter.

He has no intention of doing anything outrageous to Li Ka-shing and his son.

Since this second young master likes to talk nonsense in front of paparazzi, Chen Jiajun also plans to "fight fire with fire".

Inside the dim sum restaurant, an entertainment reporter soon walked over.

Although the reporter was mentally prepared, he was still somewhat afraid when facing Chen Jiajun.

After all, he had previously reported quite a few things that contained veiled criticisms.

Chen Jiajun noticed the reporter was a little scared and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you trouble! I wouldn't stoop to causing trouble for an entertainment reporter!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun say this himself, the young reporter finally relaxed. Then, she smiled and said, "I wonder what the big boss wants to tell me."

"You're a reporter, so of course I'll give you the news!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile. "It just depends on whether you dare to report it!"

This young reporter was quite clever; upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, she immediately realized that things were not so simple.

"Tsk, I hope I don't become a tool for the big shots to fight over." The junior reporter thought to himself.

However, he didn't say much, but wanted to hear what Chen Jiajun had to say.

Chen Jiajun took out a manuscript and handed it to the young reporter.

After reading it, the young reporter's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He had expected Chen Jiajun to retaliate, but he hadn't anticipated that Chen Jiajun would be so ruthless.

Although the veracity of the information in the article is unknown, this report will definitely cause a huge uproar once it is published.

"What? Scared?" Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "If you don't want to do it, you can pretend you were never here today, and I can find someone else!"

The young reporter took a deep breath, her hands trembling slightly as she held the manuscript.

Once this article is published, he will surely become a leader in the industry very quickly.

The newspaper would likely offer him a high fee for his writing.

However, he will also inevitably offend Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, and offend him terribly.

Chen Jiajun didn't urge him; he simply ordered breakfast and ate it slowly.

After hesitating for a long time, the young reporter said to Chen Jiajun, "Boss, do it this way..."

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "If you have any concerns, I can tell you that Li Jiacheng won't go so far as to take action against you, but it will definitely affect your newspaper! Whether you do it or not is up to you. That's all I can say!"

"Okay, I'll do it!" the young reporter said through gritted teeth.

Chen Jiajun smiled and then had his subordinate hand him a check.

The numbers above will keep this young reporter happy for a long time.

After seeing the young reporters off, Chen Jiajun chuckled and muttered to himself, "When it comes to being disgusting, you guys are still too green!"

……

The media's veiled criticisms continued the following day.

Another report then came out.

This report doesn't contain anything particularly sensational, but the information it reveals is quite intriguing.

The report was simple; it simply exposed Li Ka-shing's rise to wealth.

Some of Li Ka-shing's private affairs quickly spread across various media outlets.

The novel devotes considerable attention to the death of Li Ka-shing's first wife.

A conspiracy theory immediately sparked heated discussions among the general public.

Subsequently, various conspiracy theories emerged, such as the richest man deliberately orchestrating the events to seize his family fortune.

They'll go for anything disgusting! They'll spout every conspiracy theory imaginable!
Now the public no longer cares about the details of the second son's kidnapping case, but instead chases after new hot topics.

Some daring paparazzi and tabloid reporters even staked out Li Ka-shing's company or home.

As soon as they see him, they immediately start questioning him in various ways.

Faced with Chen Jiajun's series of tactics, Li Jiacheng felt extremely disgusted, as if he had swallowed several flies.

But he couldn't say anything, since his son had started it all.

It's like they have a fire but can't even get it out!
Never before had I wanted to strangle my stupid son like this.

"Dad, we can't let these people keep spreading rumors like this!" The eldest son said, looking at the tabloids and media hype with a sense of frustration.

It wasn't just Li Ka-shing himself who was affected; everyone in the Li family was harassed to varying degrees.

Li Jiacheng said with a dark face, "Then what can you do?"

The eldest son was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that this Sir Chen would retaliate in such a way."

Li Ka-shing snorted coldly and said, "When he was fighting me for the Kowloon Motor Bus shares, I knew this kid was no ordinary person! Not only are he skilled in underworld tactics, but he's also adept at using the rules!"

"Try to stay out of the public eye as much as possible during this time! Also, have the butler tell that idiot second son to shut his stinking mouth!"

Li Ka-shing did not reply, which clearly meant he had given in.

Chen Jiajun did not intend to completely eliminate them.

Once the rumors were spread, they stopped caring about them. As for whether Li Ka-shing had the ability to resolve the matter, that was no longer within Chen Ka-chun's consideration.

Brunei is undergoing a major development project, and Chen Jiajun needs to contact quite a few people.

He also decided to take a group of young people under his command to broaden their horizons.

These young men, carefully selected by Chen Jiajun, will become the backbone of the entire group company in the future.

So Chen Jiajun took these young people to Brunei.

Brunei changes every day, and Chen Jiajun is no longer surprised by it.

Thanks to Chen Jiajun's substantial investment, the airport's expressway has been completed, and various facilities are gradually being improved.

Although Brunei imports many things, it is now incredibly wealthy. This is because recently, vast oil reserves have been discovered on Brunei's land.

This is absolutely fantastic news for Chen Jiajun.

Upon arriving at the President's residence, Chen Jiajun met Li Yaohua.

After some time apart, Li Yaohua has begun to look older.

Chen Jiajun patted him on the shoulder and said, "There's always work to be done, so you need to take good care of yourself!"

Li Yaohua touched his white hair and said helplessly, "I always have so many things to worry about!"

Chen Jiajun laughed and said, "Since your regime is now stable, why not start delegating power? Otherwise, you might end up like Zhuge Liang, working yourself to death!"

Li Yaohua nodded: "Indeed, it's time for me to delegate authority! I need to keep an eye on things at the oil field; I don't have that much energy left."

"Oh? I bet quite a few oil companies have started bidding, right?" Chen Jiajun said with a smile. "Which company is offering the highest bid?"

Li Yaohua stroked his chin and said, "Shell Coal International Limited, a Dutch energy and chemical group. Their offer is the fairest, so I plan to sign a contract with this company!"

Outsourcing the oil fields was a last resort. Brunei is, after all, a small country, and the development of its light industry was the result of Chen Jiajun's best efforts.

Things like energy and chemicals are simply beyond his capabilities.

The technology required was simply beyond the capabilities of a small country like Brunei.

So I simply abandoned my previous ideas and decided to follow the old path of history.

Chen Jiajun reminded Li Yaohua, "Oil extraction can definitely make the country rich quickly, but you also need to be careful not to neglect industries such as tourism. After all, oil will eventually run out, and the resulting huge economic gap will cause problems."

Li Yaohua nodded: "The big boss is right, and my think tank thinks the same way. It's always better to have multiple options than one."

After chatting with Li Yaohua for a while, Chen Jiajun went to see Aoun.

Guojun Laboratory is now a key protected site of the Brunei Kingdom.

It's no exaggeration to say that, apart from Japan, no other country in Southeast Asia has such a luxurious lineup as Guojun Lab.

Orn, this mad scientist, spends all his time in his National Jun Laboratory and has taken in a group of scientists who fled from the Soviet Union to conduct research and development.

That's right, at this point in time, a certain behemoth was on the verge of collapse.

The Americans have achieved a complete victory, and those around them are already sharpening their knives and heading towards this behemoth.

Chen Jiajun also felt this was an opportunity, so he made some preparations in advance.

After returning from Brunei, I will go to Su.

"How's the product going? When can it be launched on the market? Shenzhou is waiting!" Chen Jiajun said to Aoun.

Aoun looked up and saw that it was Chen Jiajun who had come over. He chuckled and said, "Almost there, almost there!"

Chen Jiajun said irritably, "Hurry my ass! Don't think I don't know you're always doing other research! You're getting better and better at robots and bombs though!"

Orn smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "It's really close! We've already entered two rounds of testing! If we pass the third round, we can get the first batch of samples out!"

As he spoke, Orn led Chen Jiajun to a simple production line.

A large number of repair robots are performing simple assembly work.

It seems that, as Ornn said, it has indeed entered the testing phase.

In the mid-80s, the United States successfully developed a new high-definition television system, and soon other countries began to develop their own high-definition television systems.

Chen Jiajun integrated a lot of resources from Japan, and finally got Orn to open this door.

Although we started late, our technology is among the world's best.

This industry could provide Brunei with profits for at least ten years, which is why Chen Jiajun is in such a hurry.

However, it seems that the time for harvest is just around the corner.

After leaving Guojun Laboratory, Chen Jiajun went to Doom's guard team.

After so much development, Chen Jiajun has separated Doom's men from Guojun Security Company.

They are now part of the national guard of Brunei, specifically responsible for all security measures in Brunei.

It can be said that he is only responsible to Li Yaohua.

Although spies and similar individuals occasionally appear, having Old Evil's helpers greatly reduces his worries.

He spends all his time drinking with his subordinates or taking them out for barbecue; he lives an even more carefree life than Chen Jiajun.

When Chen Jiajun came to inspect, this bastard was still drinking with his subordinates.

Seeing this silly guy's carefree attitude, Bai Lu immediately felt resentful.

As the boss's personal bodyguard, she travels all over the world and has to deal with some troublesome people from time to time.

So, he slapped Doom's bald head across the face.

Doom immediately flew into a rage and jumped up, ready to cause trouble for someone.

But upon seeing Bai Lu's slender, phoenix-shaped eyes, he immediately chickened out.

“Hey, beautiful lady,” Doom said with a sheepish grin, scratching the back of his head.

Bai Lu said sarcastically, "If we hadn't come, we wouldn't have known you were so carefree!"

In front of Chen Jiajun, Doum immediately became embarrassed and said with a wronged expression, "How can you blame me? Nothing major happened in Brunei!"

Bai Lu said coldly, "Fine! Since you put it that way, let's switch! I'm already fed up with running around all the time!"

As she spoke, Bai Lu glared at Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun spread his hands innocently and said, "Why are you looking at me? If you want to take a vacation, then take one!"

“You said it yourself, Boss!” Bai Lu nodded, then said to Doom, “Did you hear that? Starting today, you’re the boss’s personal bodyguard!”

Doom was naturally reluctant: "Isn't this a bad idea? You're doing this to the troops..."

"Hmm?" Bai Lu drawled, a dangerous glint in her eyes, "What were you trying to say?"

Despite his terrible temper, Doom, the Doom Slayer, was very gentlemanly towards women, especially since this woman was even more formidable than him. He could only reluctantly agree.

Chen Jiajun shrugged, looking helpless. After all, Bai Lu had been running around for so long, she certainly had the right to rest.

Bai Lu then shooed Dum away and sat down on the large sofa, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing Bai Lu place her feet on his beloved cushion, Doom dared not utter a word of anger.

After touring the area and learning about the work, Chen Jiajun left with Dum.

Chen Jiajun's trip to Brunei was quite like an inspection tour of his territory.

After leaving the guard team, we arrived at the casino area.

This area is located in the relatively remote western region of Brunei, and casinos were located here because of the port.

The hotels that the Las Vegas residents used to own were also located in this area.

Although the goal of tax exemption was not achieved, those guys in Las Vegas wouldn't do a losing business.

By investing heavily in money and resources, they managed to develop this area.

There aren't many legal casinos on the entire Malay Peninsula; besides Genting Highlands in Kuala Lumpur, there are only a few in Brunei.

Anything related to gambling inevitably involves gangsters.

Indigenous gangs, Chinese gangs, and American gangs all quickly established themselves here.

It can be said that, apart from the area around the governor's mansion, this was the most prosperous area in Brunei.

Fortunately, when Li Yaohua signed the contracts with the casino owners in Las Vegas, he was careful to keep their activities confined to the West District. Otherwise, given the expansion of these bastards, it's hard to say whether they would have extended their influence to other places.

Managing these gangs will be quite troublesome at that point.

Therefore, besides serving as Li Yaohua's advisor, Lao E was also responsible for managing all the affairs, big and small, in this area. (End of Chapter)
