Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 74 Meeting with Chen Songqing

At thirty-two, the eldest sister still retains her charm. Even people like Broken Tooth Koi have to call her "elder sister" when they see her!
Chen Jiajun strode forward and shook hands with her: "Big sister, I'm flattered. Did you really need to come all the way to the dock to welcome me?"

“Let me reiterate, if you’ve come here for Hung Hing’s sake, I advise you to turn back immediately,” the eldest sister said earnestly.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "If I really came here for Hung Hing's sake, how could I have only brought so few people?"

Hey! I brought a lot of cash with me to support you this time!

"That would be wonderful, you're all welcome!" The eldest sister then smiled and said, "Come with me, the car is all ready."

Upon arriving at the Casino Lisboa, the Hell Knights immediately disembarked and scattered, making no attempt to conceal the pistols at their waists. Their postures were upright and ready to strike, their eyes sharp as hawks, clearly indicating their well-trained nature.

What's even more striking is that each of them was carrying a black leather suitcase.

There is a couplet at the entrance of the casino:
There is no guaranteed win in gambling; gambling in moderation is for fun; play with spare money and keep it entertaining.

The eldest sister, Situ Yulian, introduced, "This was written by Ghost King Uncle Nie."

"Nie Aotian, who's known as the God of Gamblers?" Chen Jiajun asked with a smile.

Nie Aotian, nicknamed the Ghost King, is the man behind the gambling king He Xin, and also the man who helped He Xin succeed.

They have now parted ways with the gambling king, and the two sides are now at odds.

Chen Jiajun stayed in Macau for two days and two nights, gambling every single day.

With Lao E around, he could easily sense the numbers on the cards or dice. Chen Jiajun implemented a policy of focusing on big wins and letting go of small ones. After losing several rounds in a row, he would play a big one. He lost ten million in the first hour, but recovered his losses in five minutes and even made five or six million.

At his worst, he had only 100 million chips left.

They spent two whole days and two nights, and in the end, they took away a total of 250 million Hong Kong dollars.

In Macau, gambling is a legal business. The dirty money goes through a loop here, is settled by SJM Holdings, and then deposited into his account, which is equivalent to clean money.

……

In high spirits, Chen Jiajun picked up Guan Jiahui as soon as he returned to Hong Kong. The two went on a shopping spree in Central and then returned to their love nest in Hong Kong to enjoy some time alone together.

Chen Jiajun also checked Guan Jiahui's academic abilities...

After all, he was a graduate student in his previous life, so guiding Guan Jiahui shouldn't be a problem.

After checking their academic abilities, the two lay on the bed, panting, when Chen Songqing from Jianing Group called.

"Chairman Chen, I've long admired your name."

Chen Jiajun lay on the bed, holding Guan Jiahui in his arms.

Chen Songqing said in a deep voice, "Young man, I was out discussing business a few days ago, so I didn't get to meet you. I was wondering if you would have time to come to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel tonight to discuss this in detail?"

“Alright, I was just thinking of having a talk with Chairman Chen.”

"Okay, see you there."

After hanging up the phone, Guan Jiahui was stunned when she learned that it was Chen Songqing from Jianing Group who had called her. Her mouth hung open, and she couldn't come to her senses for a long time.

It's important to understand that Chen Songqing is now considered an extremely respected figure by all Hong Kong residents.

Such an important person actually called Chen Jiajun personally to invite him to meet.

That evening, Chen Jiajun, accompanied by Doom and several Hell Knights, went to the appointment. Compared to the last time, there were more people, and the atmosphere was more tense. There were many bodyguards standing in the private room, all of them strong and muscular, but compared to Chen Jiajun's young demon slaves, they were no match.

Chen Songqing is short and stout, wears black-rimmed glasses, and has an extraordinary air about him.

The reason he approached Chen Jiajun again after he hadn't been given face last time was that, after careful consideration, he realized that acquiring the product from Chen Jiajun would be the least costly option.

Zhan Peizhong warmly introduced the two men to each other. Chen Jiajun extended his hand: "Chairman Chen, I've heard so much about you!"

"Mr. Chen, you are so young and handsome!" Chen Songqing shook hands with Chen Jiajun and then gestured for him to enter.

During the meal, thanks to Zhan Peizhong's mediation, the atmosphere in the room was quite pleasant.

After dinner, while everyone was smoking cigars, Chen Songqing got down to business:
“Mr. Chen, I will acquire 1500 million shares of Hanmei stock at a 20% premium. You entered the market with HK$4500 million and exited with HK$1.8 million, which is more than enough profit.”

"Chairman Chen, if you really insist on acquiring these 1500 million shares, I think you might as well buy them on the stock market; wouldn't that be faster?"

Chen Jiajun gave some serious advice.

HK$180 million is an astronomical sum for most people, but Chen Jiajun's ambitions are far greater than his expectations.

Besides, after Caring acquires Hanmei and goes public, the share price will climb to HK$15.4 per share in a short period of time. Even if he sells it now at a 20% premium, it will only be HK$12 per share.

Why did he leave at this time?
Chen Jiajun's words left Chen Songqing speechless.

Buying stocks from private individuals is at the secondary market price.

In the primary market, if he were to make large-scale acquisitions, shareholders would know that Hanmei's stock is valuable, and the stock price would rise sharply in a short period of time, which would be a loss for him.

Chen Songqing put on a smile again and said, "Mr. Chen, how much are you willing to pay to sell?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jiajun said, "Hanmei's stock price closed at 10.5 today. I don't want much, 18 per share."

Go to the street!
In other words, Chen Songqing would need 2.4 million yuan to acquire these 1500 million shares.

His smile slowly faded, and he took a puff of his cigar: "It's not right to be so greedy, young man."

"Chairman Chen, I wouldn't have sold it if you hadn't brought it up. In business, we should negotiate if we can, and let it go if we can't reach an agreement, right?"

Chen Songqing smiled again: "Young man, since you've put it that way, I can only say I regret it. But be careful not to have too big an appetite and burst your belly!"

Chen Jiajun replied with a smile, "Hehe, then thank you for your hospitality, Chairman Chen. I won't disturb your enjoyment any longer."

As he spoke, Chen Jiajun stood tall, and the Hell Knights followed him.

Chen Songqing shouted, "Young man, have you ever thought that with such a big appetite, you might not get a single penny in the end?"

The Hell Knights all stopped in their tracks, their faces contorted with bloodlust and a frenzied killing intent.

Chen Jiajun laughed without turning his head, "We'll see!"

Before even reaching the Grand Mansion, after leaving the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Chen Songqing had already started using his methods. Police were conducting surprise checks on Chen Jiajun's three establishments on Hennessy Road and several in Wan Chai, checking liquor licenses and ID cards!

Fortunately, Chen Jiajun's place was spotless, and the police found nothing.

……

Top floor office of Guojun Building.

Chen Jiajun, Thirteen Sister, Liang Kun, Han Bin, and Dinosaur were sitting around the tea table.

Handsome Kun, smoking a red Marlboro cigarette, spoke in a hoarse voice:
“There’s something wrong with tomorrow’s Hung Hing emergency meeting. Fat Lai from North Point told me that Chiang Tin-sang called him over a couple of days ago and gave him a bonus of five million. I asked Chan Tai-yu and a few others privately, and they all received their bonuses.”

"Dividends?"

"When did this happen? I've never heard of it!"

Han Bin, spitting out watermelon seeds as he ate, asked in surprise, and then the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
