Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Xiao Fu's plan is progressing smoothly, and Chen Jiajun has no time to pay attention to it.

After all, gangsters are a sunset industry, and Chen Jiajun has long since stopped caring about them. He only keeps Hung Hing under his command to avoid unnecessary trouble.

As for planting flags in the United States, Chen Jiajun has absolutely no interest in it; otherwise, he wouldn't have sold the territories of the Number Gang and the Yamaguchi-gumi to Hua Qing at a bargain price.

His main business is still United Aerospace Capital.

Yahu's future looks promising, and David is a more suitable CEO than Wang Zhiyuan.

Moreover, with Chen Jiajun's support, there is no possibility of changing the CEO in the coming years.

With the addition of two technical experts, Larry and Shegel, Chen Jiajun is very confident in the development of Ya Hu.

Since the project was a sure-fire way to make money, Chen Jiajun no longer needed to pay too much attention to it and turned his attention elsewhere.

The situation with Apple is quite complicated, involving too many things.

So Chen Jiajun set his sights on another project, a relatively unremarkable technology company that would become a Hollywood giant in the future... Nefertory.

During this period, Chen Jiajun instructed Cao Weicai to continuously evaluate Nefi.

To evaluate Netflix, Chen Jiajun even spent hundreds of thousands of US dollars and sent people to apply for jobs inside the company to get firsthand information.

Although this point in time was during the frenzied period before the dot-com bubble.

However, Neferpitou himself was not feeling well.

For online DVD rental businesses, the requirements for warehousing and logistics are very high, and the internet is also a stage where money is burned to grab users.

Both of these things require large investments, which makes Reed Hastings, the actual controlling shareholder of Nefit, particularly uncomfortable.

He was willing to invest because he saw potential in Netflix.

However, once it was actually put into operation, it turned out to be a bottomless pit, with losses almost doubling every year. This rate of money burning made Reed Hastings doubt whether his investment was wise.

If this continues, not only will he not be able to earn a single penny from Neferpitou, but if he wants to continue operating the business, he will have to mortgage his entire fortune.

After all, the majority of DVD rentals are still dominated by the behemoth that is Bestway, so raising funds would be extremely difficult for Bestway.

Chen Jiajun knew that this was clearly not the best time to buy a Nefit.

Instead, he should have waited until after 2000, when the dot-com bubble burst, so he could have acquired Netflix at a bargain price.

But Chen Jiajun didn't want to gamble on the butterfly effect, nor did he want to take such extreme measures.

Although this would yield more profit, it doesn't suit Chen Jiajun's personality.

Therefore, Chen Jiajun still allowed Cao Weicai to start contacting Reed Hastings.

However, Chen Jiajun seemed to have underestimated the cunning of these American businessmen. Reed Hastings, who was clearly on the verge of collapse and needed to mortgage his assets to keep operating, actually dared to ask for an exorbitant amount.

Not only were their asking prices outrageous, but they were even only willing to sell 40% of their shares in Netflix.

In other words, he wants the money, and he also wants to continue controlling Nefertivity.

“Boss, we were a little too hasty, and Duck Tiger’s success has made Reed Hastings think we were suckers!” Cao Weicai said, spreading his hands.

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Indeed, I was too hasty! What other companies are eyeing Netflix?"

After thinking for a moment, Cao Weicai said, "I heard that Reed Hastings is in contact with the French giant Arnault Group, intending to have them invest in Nefi. However, I think this will not be an easy thing."

"No competitors? That's good!" Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and said with a sneer, "Awei, cease all contact with Neferpitou!"

"Huh?" Cao Weicai was stunned for a moment: "But boss, we've put in so much effort and spent hundreds of thousands of yuan, and you're just going to stop contacting us like this?"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Stop all contact! Since Reed Hastings thinks we're easy targets, I should let him know who the real sugar daddy is! And while you're at it, find out which bank gave Netflix the loan!"

Cao Weicai immediately understood Chen Jiajun's meaning and said with a smile, "I understand what you mean, boss!"

……

The next day, Los Angeles Business Center.

Cao Weicai met with Reed Hastings' men again.

"Mr. Cao, what is United Aerospace Capital's response?" The other party seemed quite confident, and said to Cao Weicai with some impatience, "Our time is limited!"

Cao Wei realized that the other party was all bark and no bite, so he simply crossed his arms and said as if watching a show, "I don't think your conditions are sincere at all! Therefore, we are prepared to terminate this negotiation! If you have a better option, then I congratulate you in advance!"

After saying that, Cao Weicai got up and left the business center with his lawyers.

The person in charge of Nefic was left standing there dumbfounded, completely bewildered!

Chen Jiajun's approach was very effective.

As if provoked, they abruptly ended the negotiations.

Neferpitou must be the one feeling bad now.

Netflix executives are probably in a complete mess right now.

But what's done is done, and Cao Weicai has already left Los Angeles with his negotiation team.

Nefit's executives had no choice but to call Reed Hastings.

Upon learning that the negotiations had broken down, Reed Hastings was devastated.

He was greedy, not stupid. As a businessman, he knew when to stop, so the conditions he proposed weren't too unreasonable; at least they were negotiable.

However, his subordinates felt this was a good opportunity to take a bite out of United Aerospace Capital, so they simply doubled Reed's terms and presented them to Cao Weicai.

Now things have really fallen apart, and Reed Hastings was so angry that he started cursing on the phone.

"I don't care what method you use, even if it's kneeling down to apologize, you must bring back the United Aerospace Capital negotiation team!" After his outburst, Reed Hastings gave the executives a death order.

The executive was now sweating even more, because his subordinates told him that Cao Weicai's negotiation team had just left Los Angeles on a chartered business jet.

He could only cautiously say, "They've already chartered a plane and left..."

“You piece of trash! I…” Reed Hastings was so angry he almost had a heart attack.

But things had come to this point, and he had no better option than to summon all his subordinates who had acted on their own initiative back to Los Gato's Nefert headquarters.

Meanwhile, Chen Jiajun was closely observing Netflix's movements, not to mention the several business spies who had infiltrated Netflix.

Upon hearing that Reed Hastings had fired the executive in charge of negotiations after returning home, Chen Jiajun finally smiled with satisfaction and said to Cao Weicai, "Our plan can begin now!"

Cao Weicai smiled and nodded, then got his team busy.

……

Because of the death of the previous head of the Yamaguchi-gumi in San Francisco, the remaining right-hand men immediately took over the Yamaguchi-gumi's business in San Francisco.

Among them was a guy named Takada.

This guy is a crazy radical, his mind is full of fighting and killing. He has been putting pressure on the Number Gang, which has made the relationship between the two sides very strained.

The FBI also made Takada a key target of their observation.

After all, the FBI already knew that Devin's Dead Number gang would definitely take action.

It's only natural to keep an eye on the Yamaguchi-gumi's top brass.

What the FBI did not expect was that that very evening, Takada, the owner of the "Chayu" teahouse, convened a meeting with some of the Yamaguchi-gumi's top leaders.

Shortly after, Di Wu led his men into the FBI's sights.

A car drove up from the alley, and the bodyguards in front of the teahouse were trying to shoo the person away.

Then a gloved hand emerged from the darkness, holding a pistol with a silencer.

He killed the bodyguards outside the teahouse with a single shot.

And this person was none other than Di Wu, who was eager for revenge. Di Wu killed the man decisively, and threw the body, along with the number gang members who got out of the car, into the nearby trash can. After looking around to make sure no one was watching, he entered the teahouse.

Meanwhile, the FBI deputy captain monitoring from upstairs immediately pulled out his walkie-talkie and said to his team members, "Damn it! Call Crawford! Call reinforcements!"

If the two sides really start fighting, it's not something these three monitoring teams can handle.

The FBI called for reinforcements, while Di Wu had already led his men into the teahouse.

Having located the private room where Takada and his group were receiving guests, the men immediately pulled out several submachine guns from their large clothes and opened fire on the people inside.

The sudden shooting caught everyone in the teahouse off guard.

Even several innocent maids were brutally killed by a hail of bullets.

However, since the Yamaguchi-gumi, including Takada, has been able to fight against the Number Gang in San Francisco for so many years, they are certainly not ordinary people.

Take Takada, for example, that Japanese devil!
The partitions in the teahouse are all neon-lit wooden doors covered with paper, through which you can clearly see the silhouettes of people outside.

As soon as Takada saw someone pull out a gun or something similar, he immediately yelled, "Get down!"

This saved him and his men from being killed on the spot.

After the firing stopped, Takada immediately drew his pistol and began to retaliate.

They also killed two careless members of the number gang.

The two sides ended up fighting to a standstill.

"Damn it!" Di Wu gritted his teeth, just as he was about to call for reinforcements from his men outside.

He couldn't hear his men's voices through the walkie-talkie; instead, he heard intense gunfire coming from the doorway.

"Have we fallen into a trap?" Di Wu was completely stunned.

But he quickly felt relieved because he heard someone outside the door shouting, "FBI! Open the door!"

With the FBI's involvement, the situation became even more chaotic.

Gunshots rang out everywhere, along with inexplicable shouts.

Having achieved his goal for the day, Di Wu prepared to lead his men to retreat.

But unexpectedly, FBI reinforcements arrived just in time.

Jack and his men cornered Di Wu and his group inside the teahouse.

This situation was completely unexpected for Di Wu, and he could only fight with the FBI agents in order to find a chance to escape.

What Di Wu didn't expect was that there would be a fourth force.

That was Xiao Fu, who was hiding on the roof of the building across the street, observing everything with a sniper rifle.

Seeing that Di Wu was already showing signs of retreat, Xiao Fu immediately killed several members of the Yamaguchi-gumi to clear a path for Di Wu.

Although he didn't know where the bullets came from, Di Wu realized that it seemed only Takada, a high-ranking member of the Yamaguchi-gumi, was fighting alone.

This was a golden opportunity, and Di Wu naturally wouldn't let it slip by.

He pulled out his spare pistol and fired several shots into Takada's chest.

As he left, he spat at Takada and said coldly, "These shots were for my brother!"

However, with this delay, it was impossible for Di Wu to escape. The FBI agents had already cleared out the members of the Number Gang and Yamaguchi-gumi outside, and after rushing into the teahouse, they immediately took Di Wu and his men into custody.

"Di Wu, we meet again! You better behave yourself now, or I'll kill you right here!" Jack roared angrily.

Diwu knew that Jack, this madman, was serious, so he could only raise his hands high while the FBI agents pressed him against the wall and forcibly searched him.

But at that moment, the troublemaker Xiao Fu struck again.

Instead of directly attacking FBI agents, he silenced several Yamaguchi-gumi gang members.

Upon hearing the gunshots ring out again, Jack and the others disregarded Di Wu and his group and immediately took cover behind cover.

Jack immediately yelled, "Damn it, Gao, I'm telling you, don't fucking fire!"

Xiao Gao is a new FBI agent in charge of sniping.

But the vice-captain patted Jack on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Gao is right here, there are other gunmen!"

Seeing this, Di Wu didn't care about anything else and immediately fled the teahouse with his two men.

When Jack chased after him, he found that Di Wu was nowhere to be seen.

However, he noticed a familiar figure flash by in the opposite building's corridor.

Jack immediately drove after them and quickly confirmed that the other person was none other than Roger, whom he had been trying to catch.

Little Franklin did it on purpose, luring Jack away only to easily escape from him again, which made Jack extremely angry!
……

The incident at the teahouse caused quite a stir, but Zhang Li only learned about it the next morning while having breakfast.

And it was Xiao Fu who told him personally.

"After we finished, Di Wu and his gang smashed up Takada's teahouse!" Xiao Fu said succinctly.

"What?" Zhang Li said in astonishment, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I wanted to stop him!" Xiao Fu said helplessly.

"Damn it! I told him not to make any rash moves! Now I have no choice!" Zhang Li was furious about the situation!
After all, as someone who is in control of everything, the thing they dislike most is things slipping out of their control.

Clearly, the affairs between the Number Gang and the Yamaguchi-gumi have slipped out of his control.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Fu went to the Yamaguchi-gumi's company.

At the beginning of the plan, Yamaguchi-gumi's Kusakari and Ryokawa Shiro sent Kofu to infiltrate Zhang Li's inner circle and help clean up the high-ranking corrupt officials in the San Francisco Yamaguchi-gumi.

This is a win-win situation, and it also weakens the Zhang family's power. That old guy Liangchuan Shiro is playing it very well.

After arriving at the Yamaguchi-gumi's territory, Kofu met a woman.

This woman is Kira, the daughter of Ryokawa Shiro.

Upon seeing Franklin arrive, Kira stood up and smiled at him, saying, "You did a great job! My father is very pleased!"

She walked up to Xiao Fu, straightened his collar, and continued, "He has one more thing he needs you to do!"

Xiao Fu knew what Liang Chuan Shiro wanted to do and said directly, "Kill Zhang Li, and his operation will be ruined! What else does Shiro want?"

Kira leaned against Franklin and whispered in his ear, "His wife, his children, his children's heads!"

A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Fu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he said coldly, "Why?"

"This is an order, there's no why!" Kira looked at Franklin with a mocking expression and said, "Weren't you a policeman who killed women and children before? You dare disobey your master?"

Little Franklin emphasized again, "I have no owner!"

Kira looked at the men beside him and said, "These are my bodyguards. They will take your orders and assist you in completing this mission!"

"What if I refuse?" Franklin asked Kira.

Kira's face immediately showed displeasure, and he pulled a small knife from his sleeve, about to hold it to Franklin's neck.

But when she reached out her hand, she found that the knife in her hand had appeared in Xiao Fu's hand.

Franklin mockingly handed the knife back to Kira and said casually, "This is yours, isn't it?"

After saying that, he put on his sunglasses and left the company. (End of Chapter)
