Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

On the other side, Cao Weicai, who had received Chen Jiajun's full support, led his men directly toward the home of Chen Hai, the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

After experiencing this, Cao Weicai realized that it was clearly impossible to play by the rules or tacit understandings with this group of idiots.

This group is too low-class and their methods are too despicable; they simply can't understand sophisticated tactics.

It would be more effective to use some simple and direct methods.

That's why Cao Wei directly approached the Huaqing Gang this time.

The Huaqing Gang owes Chen Jiajun a huge favor, and they also need Chen Jiajun's support in San Francisco to continue operating.

Therefore, I have no psychological burden at all about such a small request, especially since it involves hiring a few Chinese business owners.

That noon, Cao Weicai barged directly into Chen Hai's villa.

At that moment, the old man was having dinner with his family.

"Who are you people?" Chen Hai shouted in panic when he saw a group of menacing-looking men barging into his house. "I've already called the police!"

"Call the police?" Cao Weicai walked in, surrounded by several young demon bodyguards, and said coldly, "Let's see if the San Francisco police dare to come!"

"It's you?" Chen Hai was stunned when he saw Cao Weicai. "We have no past grudges or recent feuds. What do you want with me?"

Cao Weicai said with a ferocious expression, "You dare say you didn't know I was kidnapped?"

Cao Weicai grabbed Chen Hai by the collar and dragged him in front of him.

The anger in his eyes seemed to ignite the old man.

Upon seeing Cao Weicai's actions, Chen Hai's two sons immediately objected.

"what are you doing?"

"Let go of my dad!"

Cao Weicai glanced at them, and then two of Huaqing Gang's henchmen grabbed the kitchen knives from the table and stabbed them viciously into the thighs of Chen Hai's two sons.

The two tall sons immediately clutched their feet in pain and rolled around on the ground in agony.

The screams immediately silenced the Chen family.

"You...you mustn't do anything rash!" Chen Hai stammered as he saw the other party make a move. "I really don't know what you're talking about!"

Cao Weicai said coldly, "It's alright, the brothers of the Huaqing Gang will let you know!"

"The Huaqing Gang?" Upon hearing Cao Weicai's words, Chen Hai couldn't help but shudder.

It is important to know that the Huaqing Gang is notorious in the United States, to the point that almost everyone knows about it.

Even at its peak, the FBI of the United States was helpless against the Huaqing Gang.

In the eyes of ordinary people, that would be even more extraordinary.

The Huaqing Gang henchman readily agreed, saying, "Boss, don't worry! We'll just find a few black guys and have them pretend to break into a house, rob and kill someone. It won't cost much!"

Upon hearing the words of the Huaqing Gang henchman, Chen Hai's eyes widened even more: "No, no! I really don't know what you're talking about!"

Cao Weicai saw that Chen Hai seemed genuinely unaware of the situation.

His brows furrowed immediately, and he thought to himself, "Could I have really guessed wrong?"

However, on the surface, Cao Weicai said coldly, "Do you dare to say you haven't had designs on United Aerospace Capital?"

"Well... some people in the Chamber of Commerce did have ideas about it, but I've always been against it!" Chen Hai suddenly felt very innocent.

He was very envious of United Aerospace Capital.

But compared to those brainless idiots, he's been here for decades and surely knows that United Aerospace Capital must have connections with those big capital firms or conglomerates.

After all, the internet is an emerging industry, and it has always been a weakness for those traditional giants.

So even though he was extremely envious, he never had any ulterior motives!
Cao Weicai seized on the key point in Chen Hai's words and said, "So, in other words, some people did indeed have such intentions? Who are those people?"

Faced with Cao Weicai's probing questions, Chen Hai immediately fell silent.

After saying this, how will he manage the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the future? How many people will still believe him?

Cao Weicai said with a sneer, "It seems you're still clinging to a sliver of hope!"

As he spoke, he gave a wink to one of the Huaqing Gang's henchmen.

The Huaqing Gang henchman grinned maliciously and pulled Chen Hai's youngest daughter out.

Then, grinning maliciously, he said to Chen Hai, "Boss Chen, your daughter is quite beautiful! But I wonder if you're really that heartless?"

Hearing his youngest daughter's shrill scream, Chen Hai immediately realized what was happening.

Forget all those Chinese business associations! What could be more important than the safety of your own family?

Seeing his youngest daughter struggling frantically in the hands of the Huaqing Gang scum, he immediately shouted, "I'll talk, I'll talk, don't touch my family!"

Cao Weicai sneered and said, "Wouldn't it be better to cooperate obediently? I'm not like you scum. I understand the principle of not harming your wife and children! As long as you give me what I want, I promise I won't touch your family!"

Seeing that the Huaqing Gang members really didn't continue their attack, Chen Hai helplessly uttered a few names.

He really didn't want to deal with the mess that Wu Mincai and his bastards had made.

……

While Cao Weicai was interrogating the mastermind behind the scenes, Chen Jiajun, in conjunction with the California consortium and Goldman Sachs, launched a direct attack on, or rather, a crushing defeat of, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

The power of two large conglomerates is terrifying; dealing with a small local Chinese chamber of commerce is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

First, Chen Jiajun asked the Bank of America to withdraw loans from the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Subsequently, under the influence of Goldman Sachs and the California consortium, these Chinese business association members and companies faced an unprecedented wave of investigations.

Taxation, fire safety, supplier qualifications, etc.

This series of combined blows completely stunned the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

They didn't even know who did it.

The other Chinese businessmen, however, were all smiles.

These businessmen who refused to join the Chinese Chamber of Commerce have often been ostracized and suppressed by these bastards.

Now that someone is actually willing to take action against them, it's like they're celebrating the New Year.

Not only that, some capable individuals even seized the opportunity to kick someone when they're down.

Anyway, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in California has a terrible reputation, so it's not too much to do anything to them.

Although the impact hasn't spread that quickly yet, news of many people's misfortune has already spread within their circle.

Wu Mincai, in particular, was completely stunned.

He learned from a friend that the California consortium and Goldman Sachs joined forces this time because of United Aerospace Capital.

Someone broke the unwritten rules, so someone has to be punished.

Upon hearing this news, Wu Mincai felt as if the sky was falling.

He hadn't expected that United Aerospace Capital really had such a powerful background, managing to get a California consortium and Goldman Sachs to endorse them.

Before he could react, the factory manager called, panicking, "Boss, something terrible has happened! The State Taxation Bureau, the Fire Department, and the Police Station have all come to our factory and say they want to investigate us!"

"What?" Wu Mincai exclaimed, her eyes wide. "What exactly happened?"

"I...I don't know either!" the factory manager said, completely at a loss. "Why don't you come over in person?"

Upon hearing this news, Wu Mincai immediately hung up the phone.

There's absolutely no way he'd go; if he did, someone would definitely find an excuse to detain him.

He knew he couldn't stay in Los Angeles any longer. Although he didn't know why United Space Capital had such power, he didn't care anymore. All he wanted to do now was escape immediately.

As for his local businesses and factories, he can't care about that anymore.

……

On the other side, after obtaining several names, Cao Weicai immediately went straight to one of the members, Zhu Mansi's garment factory.

According to Chen Hai, Zhu Mans would usually be at the factory at this time. Arriving at a secluded factory, they were immediately approached by two security guards who shouted, "What are you doing? Get out of the way!"

These two security guards were clearly not good people, but unfortunately, they encountered the even more vicious Huaqing Gang.

"Hey, this bastard is Yue Qing's bastard!"

The members of the Huaqing Gang burst into laughter upon seeing the tattoos on the other person's body.

He went straight up and punched them both to the ground, then proceeded to unleash a barrage of punches and kicks.

It was as if they were some kind of mortal enemy.

Cao Weicai didn't care; what he wanted to do most now was to catch these behind-the-scenes manipulators.

After taking down the two security guards, he led his men directly into the garment factory.

Production is underway inside the factory, with a large number of female workers operating sewing machines at lightning speed.

They didn't even notice that Cao Weicai and his group had barged in.

When Cao Weicai saw the female workers' almost numb expressions and sallow complexions, he knew what kind of factory this was.

Having lived in America for so long, he had long heard of the infamous sweatshops.

These people use fellow villagers to help them find jobs, or they have human traffickers lure female workers who have been smuggled into the country to factories and control them.

Then they began to exploit their labor value day and night.

Not only do they offer extremely low wages, but they also have to work sixteen hours a day.

When I can't take it anymore, I take cheap vitamins to maintain my body's nutrition.

Almost every year, people die directly in the factory.

When Zhu Mansi saw Cao Weicai leading his men into the factory, her expression changed drastically. She had been watching the female workers from upstairs.

He turned around and wanted to sneak away.

Unfortunately, her actions were witnessed by one of the Huaqing Gang members.

Pointing at Zhu Mans's back, he said, "Boss, that woman is the one in the photo!"

Seeing the other man's hurried departure, Cao Weicai sneered and said, "Bring him back, then smash this factory! But be careful not to hurt these female workers!"

Upon hearing Cao Weicai's order, a group of Huaqing Gang henchmen immediately took action.
The factory was turned upside down, but the terrified female workers were simply herded into a corner and no one touched them.

After the factory was vandalized, the henchmen who went to arrest Zhu Mans also dragged the woman back.

Seeing Cao Weicai's gaze, Zhu Mans quickly forced a smile: "Sir, I don't know if I've offended you in any way. We can talk this over!"

Cao Weicai sneered, "Everyone saw me here. What's the point of pretending with me? I just came from Chen Hai's house. What do you think I know?"

Zhu Mans's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "It has nothing to do with me, Mr. Cao! It was all...it was all that bastard Wu Mincai's idea. I didn't know anything about it!"

Cao Weicai looked at Zhu Mansi with disgust and said, "One after another, they all say that! Do they really think I'm a fool? Do you think I wouldn't come to you personally if I wasn't confident?"

Upon hearing Cao Weicai's words, Zhu Mansi involuntarily kept backing away.

It was as if I had seen some kind of demon.

Unfortunately, she had nowhere to retreat. Just as she was about to run away, a member of the Huaqing Gang grabbed her by the hair and slapped her so hard that she saw stars and sat down on the ground.

Cao Weicai said gently to Zhu Mans, "Don't worry, we have time to play around. You all have to go through the same kind of suffering I endured at the hands of those Mexican drug lords!"

During the interrogation, Cao Weicai quickly learned the whereabouts of the other people.

These guys are the kind of people who are extremely selfish and self-serving; they don't care about anyone else in order to survive.

Not to mention that this whole thing started because of Wu Mincai.

Therefore, Jumans had no psychological burden at all in betraying the other party.

Cao Weicai coldly addressed the Huaqing Gang members, "Arrest the people on the list!"

The leader of the Huaqing Gang nodded and gestured for his men to leave.

Cao Wei then wandered around the sweatshop.

After finding the bill, his face turned even more grim.

These bastards, including Jumans, not only tricked and controlled Chinese people who had been smuggled in through human traffickers.

They even asked a lot of gangsters to arrest people everywhere.

Among them was the Huaqing Gang.

"You're also involved in the human trafficking business?" Cao Weicai asked the leader of the Huaqing Gang.

The leader was visibly taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Impossible! Although we sell laundry detergent, we never do human trafficking! Let alone specifically target our own people!"

The leader wasn't lying, even though the Huaqing Gang didn't have a good reputation.

However, they rarely engage in the population business.

After all, the main members of the Huaqing Gang were recruited from Taiwan.

If you target only your own people, your subordinates probably won't be very obedient.

Cao Weicai handed over the ledger without saying a word.

In his life, what he hates most are guys who sabotage their own people abroad.

The Huaqing Gang still needs to beg for food under his command, and Cao Weicai definitely wants an explanation from them.

After looking at the ledger, the leader of the Huaqing Gang sighed and said, "Actually, the people you showed me are no longer members of the Huaqing Gang."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Cao Weicai said, somewhat surprised.

The leader lit a cigarette and said casually, "In the 1960s, our gang had an internal conflict. A group of people took their brothers and left to form organizations such as the Yueqing Gang, the Black Dragon Gang, and the White Dragon Gang, which caused the Huaqing Gang to suffer a huge loss of blood and never recover!"

“After breaking away from the Huaqing Gang, these people dare to do anything and have long forgotten the beliefs that the Huaqing Gang was founded on. You must think we went too far with those guys at the factory gate just now, right? They are one of the branches that split off from the Huaqing Gang.”

"These guys from the Yueqing Gang are very close to our mortal enemy, the Fuqing Gang, and their favorite business is human trafficking, so..."

Hearing the leader's explanation, Cao Weicai finally understood and nodded, saying, "I see!"

The leader laughed and said, "So boss, don't say that these things were done by our Huaqing Gang, or the higher-ups in the gang will be unhappy."

"Alright, I understand!" Cao Weicai nodded, then glanced at Zhu Mansi, who was like a lump of mud, and said, "What are you going to do with this woman?"

The Huaqing Gang leader grinned maliciously and said, "Although we don't have as many rules as the Hongmen or the Qing Gang, we usually stab these kinds of people who specialize in harming their own people to death!"

"However, if you're not satisfied, boss, I have other solutions. Although the Huaqing Gang doesn't deal in human trafficking, they know people like this! This kind of person who specializes in targeting their own people can also be let experience what it's like to be sold like a pig!"

Jumans was in this kind of business, so he must have known what would happen if he were sold off.

He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Cao Weicai and the leader of the Huaqing Gang: "I'm not human, I deserve to die! Please give me a way out, I... I'll pay to save my life! I can give you all the factories and my 20 million in savings! Spare my life!"

Cao Weicai naturally looked down on the 20 million, and since Zhu Mansi was not the mastermind, he said to the leader of the Huaqing Gang, "You can handle this yourselves! But I have one request: properly resettle these female factory workers."

The leader laughed and said, "Absolutely no problem!"

After saying that, the leader grabbed Zhumans by the hair, pulled him up, and said, "Now, we should talk about the money you paid to save your life!"

Given the methods of the Huaqing Gang, they will definitely squeeze all of Zhu Mansi's money out of him, so Cao Weicai doesn't need to worry about this.

Half an hour later, the members of the Huaqing Gang who had been sent out gradually returned.

Several people involved in this matter were arrested.

However, one person was missing: Wu Mincai, the mastermind behind this incident.

When the Huaqing Gang members went to look for him, they found that he had already escaped.

Cao Weicai's face immediately darkened: "Someone tipped us off?"

"That's impossible!" The Huaqing Gang leader shook his head at his men and said, "My brothers were just recruited from San Francisco. They couldn't possibly have had contact with people in Los Angeles! I think that guy sensed something was wrong and ran away beforehand!"

Although Cao Weicai knew things wouldn't go smoothly, he was still very unhappy that the mastermind had escaped. So he dialed a number and whispered, "Find someone for me. I'll offer a reward of 500,000 US dollars!" (End of Chapter)
