Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

After knocking Lu Yongfu away, Chen Jiajun didn't even glance at him. Instead, he sat down in his seat, scanned the crowd, and said, "You've all been quite active while I was away! What? The profits from Lu Guo Group's shares aren't enough for you? You're so eager to sell for a good price?"

"Of course not, Chairman, we had no choice!"

One shareholder, who had previously been threatened by the Lu brothers, Yongfu and Yongquan, jumped out and said, "These two brothers, Yongfu and Yongquan, are using our families to threaten us and force us to support them at the shareholders' meeting!"

With the first one taking the lead, the rest seemed to have figured it out and immediately stood up to shift the blame to the Lu Yongfu and Lu Yongquan brothers.

Chen Jiajun sneered and turned his gaze to Lu Yongquan: "Is that how it is?"

"I...I..." Lu Yongquan may seem loud and fierce at first glance.

However, he couldn't say a word when faced with Chen Jiajun's questions.

Chen Jiajun shook his head, stood up, and said to the crowd, "As everyone knows, I come from a bad background! Nobody in Hong Kong doesn't know that Chen Jiajun is a gangster who rose through the ranks!"

“Even now, some people still call me a gangster! But I don’t care, after all, that’s my background, and I don’t need to stoop to their level.”

"Furthermore, since I took control of the triad, I have tried my best to clean up its image and guide it into legitimate businesses! And I founded the Hung Hing Group. Do you all know why?"

As he spoke, Chen Jiajun had already walked behind Lu Yongquan.

Then Chen Jiajun patted Lu Yongquan's shoulder forcefully and said with a smile, "Because I think that gangsters and triads are just too low-level! For decades, these triads in Hong Kong have been serving the big bosses of the four major families and various chambers of commerce!"

"To put it bluntly, he's like a vicious dog kept by the big boss! Some people don't want to be the boss, but insist on being the dog. What are you thinking, Quan?"

Lu Yongquan was so nervous that he couldn't say a word, and cold sweat kept sliding down his forehead and cheeks.

With a smile on his face, Chen Jiajun said softly, "While I was away, Mr. Huo fell into a coma, and the group company was thrown into chaos. They even planned to trade Lu Guo Group's shares with the real estate association. You guys are really bold!"

"Do you know that it was because of Mr. Huo and me that Lu Guo Group was able to undertake the development of the New Territories project? Oh, it seems none of you knew!"

The more Chen Jiajun spoke in such a soft and gentle manner, the more pressure he put on everyone present.

Even those who had previously jumped out to distance themselves from the Lu Yongfu brothers dared not utter a single word now.

After all, anyone who isn't an idiot can see that Chen Jiajun is very annoyed right now.

It could be fatal!
Chen Jiajun returned to his seat and said calmly, "From this moment on, I will take full control of all company operations. Every decision the company makes must be approved by me!"

"Furthermore, in my capacity as chairman, I am freezing the shares of Lu Yongfu and Lu Yongquan! Because the two are suspected of transferring company assets, any transactions involving the shares are strictly prohibited until the Commercial Crime Investigation Department releases its findings."

"By the way, Lu Yongyu will remain the president of the group and will recall those employees who were wrongfully dismissed and give them compensation. As for those senior executives who got in through connections, I have also reported them to the police, and I believe there will be a result soon."

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's decisions, everyone knew that the Lu Yongfu and Lu Yongquan brothers were doomed.

What they did was not just a simple transfer of company assets.

However, none of these things concern them.

As long as Chen Jiajun's anger doesn't fall on him, that's fine.

When Lu Yongyu saw her man arrive, those shareholders who had previously shown their ugly side to her suddenly became like quails, which made Lu Yongyu laugh heartily.

Soon, officers from the police's Commercial Crime Investigation Department arrived at Lu Guo Group.

After all, Chen Jiajun personally reported the incident to the police, so the police couldn't possibly ignore it.

After learning a little about the situation, the police took the two brothers, Lu Yongfu and Lu Yongquan, back to the police station for investigation.

At this point, the two men panicked: "Officer, officer, you can't send me in! People will die!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The police ignored the ramblings of Lu Yongfu and his brother, handcuffed them, and took them back to the police station.

Chen Jiajun had already asked Lu Yongyu to collect all the evidence for them.

At that point, he will definitely be charged with abusing his position for personal gain.

Even if they have their brothers helping them, it won't help if the Department of Justice intervenes.

Once they're in Stanley, what happens next is no longer something outsiders can interfere with.

Those two bastards will definitely die in Stanley and never come out again.

As for Lu Jianbo, considering his willingness to cooperate with Lu Yongyu, Chen Jiajun, in accordance with Lu Yongyu's original promise, gave him a sum of money after he handed over the shares of Lu Guo Group, allowing him to leave Hong Kong.

After resolving the Lu Guo Group issue, Chen Jiajun turned his attention to the Ether Society and the Brotherhood.

While he was away from Hong Kong, these two organizations did a lot of dirty work there, essentially colluding with each other.

Chen Jiajun wasn't afraid of these two defeated opponents at all.

Chen Jiajun immediately summoned Old Evil: "Go, send this letter to the Brotherhood's headquarters."

Old Evil nodded: "Understood, boss. Just put it on the table at their clubhouse?"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said with a smile, "Since you want to play, why not go all out!"

"Understood!" the old evil man said, then took the envelope and left.

Chen Jiajun then took out a satellite phone and dialed the number of his "traitor" in the Ether Society, Sean.

"What's the situation with the Ether Society?" Chen Jiajun asked without wasting any words.

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's voice, Sean immediately said, "The Ether Club's market in Europe is already saturated, and it has hit a bottleneck in its development. So, some people within the club are still unwilling to give up and are planning to develop business in Asia. I heard they've even found outside help this time! They're full of confidence!"

"You can't find out anything?" Chen Jiajun said, frowning.

Sean said helplessly, "Besides the person in charge of executing this plan, very few people in the organization know the specifics of the plan! The level of secrecy is very high!"

"Okay, who did they hire as their outside help?" Chen Jiajun asked, frowning.

“The high table!” Sean said gravely, “That damned assassin organization!”

……

On the other side, the fraternity's private clubhouse.

Their plans were disrupted by Chen Jiajun's sudden return.

This caused the plan for real estate developers to take over Lu Guo Group and dismantle it to fall through.

The fraternity is indeed having a tough time lately; everyone is dirt poor.

Despite being members of parliament and high-ranking government officials, they are all struggling financially after Chen Jiajun cut off several of their sources of income.

They finally saw that Chen Jiajun was not in Hong Kong, creating a loophole, and wanted to join forces with the real estate developers to get a share of the New Territories development. Unfortunately, it fell through before it could even materialize.

So, we're having another meeting today.

As soon as they entered the private room, everyone saw the envelopes on the table.

Li Yonglian's expression immediately changed, and he promptly summoned the club's manager. "Who has been in our private room?" Li Yonglian asked warily.

The club manager was also bewildered: "No, usually when this room is being cleaned, our security guards personally supervise it to prevent anyone from planting listening devices, and then we lock it immediately after leaving."

The reason the fraternity chose this place as its regular meeting location is because it is both safe and professional.

After all, the owner here is a descendant of a former member of MI6.

He escaped a calamity when Chen Jiajun was clearing out his stronghold, and then set up this clubhouse.

The people inside are all quite professional.

Lu Zhilian pointed to the envelope on the table, frowned, and asked, "Then explain what's going on here?"

The person in charge's expression changed immediately upon seeing the envelope: "I'll start an investigation right away!"

Ma Zhuoxian walked over and picked up the envelope: "What I'm more curious about now is who sent it."

"Open it and see!" Lydia said, frowning. "Since they've managed to send it here, you should be able to guess who it is, right?"

Ma Zhuoxian opened the envelope; inside was just a short sentence.

The sign above reads: "Once you start, never stop!"

Upon seeing this, everyone's faces showed shock.

Li Yonglian said with a sneer, "Alright, now that Chen Jiajun is back, he's looking for someone to settle scores with. Are you all satisfied now?"

"How can you talk like that? This has nothing to do with you!" an older man said, frowning.

This guy is Bai Jingtang, one of the founders of the Brotherhood.

As one of the founders of the Brotherhood, Bai Jingtang's identity is naturally not simple.

This guy became one of the Justices of the Peace in the 1950s as a businessman.

They used to have a close relationship with the Englishmen.

He even helped the English exploit their own people, and even served as an advisor in high-ranking government positions.

Therefore, he can be considered one of the leaders of the Brotherhood.

However, as I've gotten older in recent years, my thinking hasn't kept pace.

They always thought that Hong Kong was still a place where they could do whatever they wanted, and even did many outrageous things that made the fraternity members pay the price for them.

For example, regarding Zeng Guoshan's matter, he tried to use the power of the fraternity to suppress the matter.

Unfortunately, the fraternity members did not stand by his side, and in the end, they could only expel Zeng Guoshan from the fraternity.

The plan to raid Chen Jiajun's house while he was away was also his idea.

This has already caused dissatisfaction among many members of the fraternity.

There are even subtle signs of division! Take Lai Wing-lim for example.

The previous incident delayed his candidacy for Secretary for Justice, which made him quite dissatisfied.

Now that they've stirred up trouble again, Lai Wing-lim said coldly, "Don't you know why I'm saying this? Back then, the Brotherhood unanimously decided to go into hiding, and I even gave up my position as Secretary for Justice for it! Now you insist on causing trouble. If this continues, how much capital will our Brotherhood have left?"

"Do you really think Chen Jiajun is made of paper? I'm not afraid to tell you, he not only has an affair with the President of Brunei, but he's also a member of a California conglomerate! If he really gets angry, even Hong Kong will tremble. I just don't understand why you would provoke him!"

Upon hearing Lai Wing-lim's words, everyone fell silent.

They all knew in their hearts that they were nothing more than lackeys of England.

If England sends them to bite Chen Jiajun, would they dare not go?

Ultimately, the fraternity is controlled by the Englishmen.

After all, they're using resources from the English.

However, Lai Wing-lim doesn't want to continue now because the British foreigners' goals conflict with theirs.

Back when the British were in charge of Hong Kong, they couldn't beat Chan Ka-Chun. Now? That's even more impossible.

So after Lai Wing-lim finished speaking, he left the club directly.

After getting into his car, Lai Wing-lim took out a phone and dialed an unfamiliar number.

A moment later, the call connected, and Lai Wing-lim said helplessly, "Officer Choi, I've made up my mind. I'm going to work for you! These people are just too unreliable!"

That's right, the number Lai Wing-lim dialed was Choi Yuen-kei's.

Cai Yuanqi was forced to leave Hong Kong, but he did not intend to give up on things in Hong Kong.

I have always maintained contact with members of the fraternity.

However, after what happened last time, Cai Yuanqi no longer trusts these people in the Brotherhood.

Since they were willing to sacrifice themselves once, it's not advisable to do it again.

So... Cai Yuanqi plans to pull a bunch of people out of the fraternity and start his own business.

Is it more enjoyable to be the president of the association than to work for some foreigner in England?

Cai Yuanqi laughed and said, "I told you, these people will ultimately have to follow the orders of the English foreigners. Look how you lost your position as Secretary for Justice! Alright, how did it go with your efforts to win over the others?"

Li Yonglian said with a smile, "It might have been a bit difficult before, but now! I'm confident I can bring Ma Zhuoxian over!"

"That's right, they've really messed up this time. Chen Jiajun will definitely keep hounding them!" Cai Yuanqi said with a smile. "Last time he exposed the existence of the Brotherhood, and I'm afraid you guys were under a lot of pressure, weren't you?"

“Everyone is under a lot of pressure!” Li Yonglian said with a wry smile. “We were all investigated for a while, but fortunately, they didn’t find anything useful. But having to come every now and then is unbearable!”

Cai Yuanqi said slyly, "So, this is an opportunity! I've come up with a way to both clear your agreement and allow you to take things a step further!"

"What method?" Li Yonglian asked hurriedly.

He was a careerist by nature, and his desire for the position of Secretary for Justice had always been unfulfilled, driving him to the brink of madness.

Cai Yuanqi lowered his voice and said, "I think we can take advantage of this opportunity to pull off a clever escape!"

"You mean..." Li Yonglian's eyes widened in disbelief.

Cai Yuanqi said sinisterly, "That's right, just like you think! After we recruit a few people, we'll simply sell out those guys from the Brotherhood!"

"This way, not only will we clear our names and gain your trust, but we can even extricate ourselves from this matter. We can then form our own fraternity, a fraternity that truly cares about ourselves!" (End of Chapter)
