Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Led by the driver, Pa Ge and his group soon arrived at A Jie's territory.

Before I even entered, I was stopped by a group of burly men.

The driver immediately said, "I'm here to see Brother Jie. I've brought him a business deal!"

The burly man clearly recognized the driver, glanced at Pa Ge and the others behind him, and said, "Big Circle Boys?"

"What do you care who we are? As long as we have business, that's all that matters!" the driver said impatiently. "Stop talking nonsense. Do you want me to go and talk to Brother Jie myself?"

After a moment of silence, the burly man stepped aside.

Pa Ge was very annoyed with this burly man, so he deliberately bumped him hard with his shoulder, acting like he was above the law.

After entering the gate, this is A-Jie's factory.

However, this is not a weapons factory, but a cannery.

The workers inside are working hard to pack the canned goods into crates and then ship them out.

Guided by the factory security guards, the group arrived at the office upstairs in the factory.

In the office, Ah-Jie was enjoying red wine and a cigar when he saw a guest arrive. He stood up and said, "Hey, Feng-zai, long time no see!"

Pa Ge's driver is named Deng Feng. Although he is not involved in any gangs, he is a well-known underground race car driver.

I had raced cars with Ah Jie a few times, and that's how we got to know each other.

"Brother Jie, I've brought you some business!" Deng Feng smiled and hugged A-Jie, then introduced him: "This is my older brother, Brother Pa!"

Ah Jie glanced at Pa Ge and his group behind Deng Feng, a strange look flashing in his eyes, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Pa Ge, right! I've heard so much about you!"

Pa Ge shook hands with Ah Jie, then said casually, "I heard you're the biggest arms dealer in Hong Kong, and you have everything here?"

"That's an exaggeration, Fengzai. I'm hardly the biggest arms dealer!" A-Jie said modestly. "But I do have a pretty complete selection here!"

Upon hearing this, Pa Ge raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm interested in seeing this!"

He then opened his briefcase, revealing bundles of banknotes inside.

Ah Jie's smile grew even warmer as he said to Pa Ge, "Big deal! This way, please!"

As he spoke, A-Jie immediately led the group to select weapons.

Pa Ge also liked this straightforward way of doing business, and left the office with A Jie.

After passing through the workshop, we arrived at a warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with all sorts of weapons, stored in the compartments of crates.

"Look at this, an RPG-7. It can be disassembled into two parts for easy carrying, and most importantly, it's cheap and durable!"

After Ah-Jie picked up an RPG, he said to Pa-Ge.

"Not bad!" Pa Ge nodded; Ah Jie's tools were indeed complete.

A-Jie picked up another weapon and said with a smile, "This thing is really aggressive, the RG-6 six-barrel grenade launcher. With this, whatever gets in your way can be blown to smithereens!"

Afterwards, A-Jie introduced several other powerful machines, and then said to Pa-Ge, "Pa-Ge, are you satisfied?"

Pa Ge nodded: "Where's the gun!"

"Look at this gun! A genuine American M16, with more than enough firepower!" A-Jie continued to introduce.

"What's the price?" Pa Ge seemed somewhat tempted.

"Six thousand dollars a piece!" A-Jie said with a smile.

"Why don't you just rob someone?" Pa Ge's henchman was startled when he heard the price.

Ah Jie helplessly spread his hands and said, "I know it's too expensive, but that's how it is with American goods! Otherwise, look at something cheaper, an AKM is six thousand Hong Kong dollars a pack! Cheap and durable!"

After thinking for a moment, Pa Ge said, "Give me six of these, plus two RPG-7s and two six-barrel grenade launchers. Let's calculate the total cost! And how much are the bullets?"

"Great!" Ah Jie immediately pulled out his calculator and started calculating: "Each gun comes with two magazines... bullets are fifty dollars each, so with all that, it's a total of 160,000! Would you gentlemen like to try out the guns?"

"The price is reasonable, let's try out the gun first!" Brother Pa nodded and said.

"Alright, everyone, come with me to the shooting range. I'll have someone bring the bullets over!" A-Jie said with a smile.

As an arms dealer, bullets are never stored with guns; it's the rule in this industry.

Clearly, these thugs had dealt with arms dealers quite a bit and knew this rule, so they didn't say anything more.

After arriving at the firing range, A-Jie had several magazines delivered to him.

Then, after personally attaching a gun, he suddenly pointed the gun at Brother Pa and his group.

The expressions on their faces immediately changed.

Deng Feng, in particular, immediately said to A-Jie, "Brother Jie, don't point your gun at your own people!"

"One of our own?" Ah Jie said with a mocking smile, "Who the hell considers us one of our own?"

Pa Ge said with a dark expression, "What do you mean? Are you planning to break the rules?"

"Tch, you big gangster trying to talk to me about rules?" Ah Jie said disdainfully, "I've been keeping an eye on you guys for a while now, you idiots! You should find out what my relationship with Chen Jiajun is."

"You want to buy weapons from me to harm my brothers? You really don't know what death means!"

Upon hearing Ah Jie's words, the faces of the group turned deathly pale.

Deng Feng, in particular, looked at A-Jie with disbelief and said, "You and Chen Jiajun are brothers?"

Ah Jie said nonsensically, "You didn't expect that, did you! Hahaha! You idiot!"

Pa Ge and his men's faces hardened; they were ruthless bandits and there was no way they would surrender without a fight.

He roared, "Let's fight them!"

Although the group only had a few small pistols, they were still determined to fight it out.

As for what happens next, we'll talk about that after we survive.

Ah Jie already knew the identities of these people, so how could he not have made preparations in advance?
His two men immediately pulled open a box on the table, which unfolded into a bulletproof shield large enough to cover the whole body, and stood in front of A-Jie.

The small pistols of Pa Ge and the others hit the shield, only causing sparks to fly.

Meanwhile, the gunmen who had been waiting on the second floor, each holding an M16 rifle, opened fire on Pa Ge and his men.

The powerful firepower instantly turned Pa Ge and his men into sieves.

Including Deng Feng, no one escaped. After the gunfire subsided, A-Jie looked at the few people lying on the ground like broken dolls, fanned himself in front of his nose, and ordered his men, "Clean up the scene."

He then took out his phone and dialed Chen Jiajun's number.

……

Upon receiving Ah Jie's call, Chen Jiajun was both amused and exasperated.

Unexpectedly, those idiots, Pa Ge and his gang, were planning something big and even went after A-Jie.

"We're like brothers, so I won't thank you! I'll find you for a drink after I'm done with this busy period!" Chen Jiajun said before hanging up the phone.

He then said to the intelligence officer beside him, "There's no need to keep an eye on Pa Ge anymore. A-Jie has already taken him out. Bring everyone back!"

Ah Jie has won over Pa Ge, which is also a good thing for Chen Jiajun.

He really doesn't have time to deal with those ruthless bandits right now.

Because news came from Wylie that Graham Wallace, the chairman of the Eastern Telegraph Office, had finally relented.

In other words, Chen Jiajun's plan is very likely to succeed.

During this period, he had been meeting with senior officials of the Eastern Telegraph Company with Wayne.

Because Cable & Wireless has reached a preliminary agreement with Singtel.

They plan to sell the Eastern Telegraph Company to Singaporeans.

"Heh, these English devils are stupid!" After hearing Wei Li's description, Chen Jiajun immediately calmed down: "They actually use this kind of information to scare people!"

Wei Li's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Chen Jiajun with disbelief, saying, "Boss, you mean Wallace is lying? But... how is that possible? I did see them reach a preliminary agreement!"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "I was too hasty, otherwise Wallace definitely wouldn't have used such methods! You were completely fooled by this foreigner!"

"Although Eastern Telegraph Company is an English company, don't forget its corporate nature! Telecommunications business isn't something they can just sell off! It concerns the livelihood of Hong Kong people!"

"Huh?" Well, being a smart man, Wei Li quickly realized, "So... people back home might not agree?"

Chen Jiajun sneered and said, "Of course, if they want to sell, they can only sell to people in Hong Kong or their hometowns. There is no third option!"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's explanation, Wei Li frowned and said, "Then let's just leave him hanging?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "No, the absence of foreign competitors doesn't mean there aren't local Hong Kong competitors! As far as I know, many people are still very interested in the Eastern Telegraph Company, especially those foreign businessmen!"

"We don't even know if these people are human or ghosts. If we sell such an important asset to them, we'll have no chance at all. As for my subsequent plans, I'll just be doing all the work for someone else!"

Wei Li was immediately stumped and simply gave up thinking: "This won't work, that won't work, boss, what do you suggest we do?"

After all, Wei Li doesn't have Chen Jiajun's far-sighted vision, so he might as well just be an executor.

Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then made a phone call back to his hometown.

After expressing his concerns, the staff in the Longkou office immediately reported the matter up the chain of command.

A few hours later, he called Chen Jiajun back: If Chen Jiajun wanted to acquire the Eastern Telegraph Company, his hometown would fully cooperate.

Upon receiving this promise, Chen Jiajun immediately smiled.

In another timeline, if the fence-sitters like the Li family can get support, why can't I, a deep-red capitalist, do the same?
So he said to Wayne, "Alright, things are settled. Come with me to see this Wallace again tomorrow!"

Wei Li nodded, looking at Chen Jiajun with admiration, and said, "Boss, your vision is truly amazing! Now, I doubt many people can compete with us!"

How many telecommunications companies are there in Hong Kong? Although the owners behind them can be considered wealthy, how can they compare to Chen Jiajun?
You see, the British were eager to liquidate the Eastern Telegraph Company; they wanted cash.

Frankly speaking, how many people in the entire Hong Kong could come up with such a large sum of money?

……

The next day, Chen Jiajun and Wei Li met Wallace.

Both sides were very polite, especially Graham Wallace, who was impeccably courteous, always had a smile on his face, and his hospitality was impeccable.

After W.W. Smith explained his purpose, Wallace chuckled and said, "I can only apologize for this! We have already reached a preliminary agreement with Singtel. You two are late!"

“Oh? Is that so?” Chen Jiajun said with a smile, “But I don’t think you can sell the Eastern Telegraph Company to Singaporeans!”

Seeing Chen Jiajun's confident expression, Wallace frowned immediately: "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Mr. Wallace, let's be frank! You and I both know that your deal with the Singaporeans is impossible to complete! Because my hometown won't allow it, and if they don't allow it, your Eastern Telegraph Company won't be sold!"

Wallace hadn't expected that Chen Jiajun would see through his intentions so quickly.

He sighed and said, "No wonder everyone tells me that Mr. Chen is the most shrewd businessman!"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "So let's not waste any more time and just make an offer! I think your board of directors is also eager to cash out their shares and leave!"

Wallace suddenly looked at Chen Jiajun with a sharp gaze and said, "That's right, Mr. Chen, you're absolutely right! But why should I sell the Great Eastern Telegraph Bureau to you? You've never seemed friendly to us!"

"Ha!" Chen Jiajun laughed. "Are you going to talk to me about positions? A businessman talking to me about positions? Are you sure your board of directors won't tear you apart? Especially at this time?"

Wallace calmly replied, "If I don't sell it to you, someone else will!"

"Is that so?" Chen Jiajun picked up the documents handed to him by Wei Li and said calmly, "Your Eastern Telegraph Company is negotiating with the Singaporeans for 18 billion US dollars. How many people in Hong Kong do you think can afford that price?"

Chen Jiajun's attack struck Wallace's weak spot once again.

As Chen Jiajun said, many wealthy people in Hong Kong may have this net worth, but how many are willing to spend this money?

Wallace continued, "Okay, if you're willing to pay this price, I think we can talk!"

"That's impossible!" Chen Jiajun flatly rejected the price, coldly saying to Sir Wallace, "This is not an honest price; you're playing commercial extortion! In my opinion, the Eastern Telegraph Company is absolutely not worth this price!"

"Really?" Wallace laughed too. "You asked me to give you a price, I gave you one, and you're not satisfied! Then I think there's nothing more to discuss between us!"

When Wallace said this, he seemed to have a clear plan in mind.

Chen Jiajun was also somewhat surprised by this guy's attitude.

Clearly, this guy seems to have found a buyer.

And this buyer is from Hong Kong!
I've revealed all my cards today, but I still haven't been able to force this guy to give in. Clearly, something happened that I'm unaware of.

There's definitely no way we can talk today.

Chen Jiajun and Wei Li simply got up and said goodbye.

After Chen Jiajun and Wei Li left, Wallace, the foreigner, picked up the phone and dialed a number, saying, "Second Young Master, I think we need to discuss the price!" (End of Chapter)
