Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 78 Dare to Sell Fake Gold?
"what?"

Xie Zhichao was also startled. After realizing what was happening, he immediately put on his suit and said, "Keep him calm, I'm coming right away!"

On his way to Xie Liyuan Gold Shop, Xie Zhichao kept thinking about the 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

During this time, he also found out Chan Ka-Chun's true identity: he was the leader of Hung Hing in Wan Chai.

Those who make money through shady means definitely have money of dubious origin!

He was very interested in the 50 million Hong Kong dollars, but the problem was that Xie Liyuan Gold Shop didn't have that much gold in stock. After all, 50 million Hong Kong dollars was equivalent to a whole ton of 999 gold.

Upon arriving at Xie Liyuan's gold shop, Xie Zhichao began to make plans.

Anyway, what Liangjun has is ill-gotten gains, and its origins are not clean.

Why not take this opportunity to smear him?
Seeing the boss arrive, the manager handed him the check: "It's been verified to be genuine. The key issue is, we don't have that much gold! Should we buy a batch from other suppliers?"

Xie Zhichao took the check and whispered a few words to the manager.

The manager's eyes widened: "Chairman Xie, what if Young Master Jun finds out?"

“We’ve never had any problems with our previous transactions with him, so he must have let his guard down this time.”

"By the time he finds out, so much time will have passed. Let's just deny everything!" Xie Zhichao tapped the manager's forehead: "Get on with it. I'll take responsibility for this. You'll be in for it later."

"Yes!"

The manager gritted his teeth and immediately went out to handle the matter.

Entering the office, Xie Zhichao chased away the group of women, looked up at Chen Jiajun with a gentle smile, and said, "I am Xie Liyuan Gold Shop owner, Xie Zhichao. You must be the famous Hung Hing handsome boy, Jun!"

"Hello."

Chen Jiajun also extended his hand to Xie Zhichao.

After they were seated, Xie Zhichao smiled and said to Chen Jiajun, "Mr. Chen, with such a large-scale purchase of gold, do you also have a positive outlook on the future of gold?"

"That's a good idea, let's buy some gold as an investment."

"I'm a bit materialistic; I like things that look golden and shiny at home," Chen Jiajun said, making things up.

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhichao, with his shifty eyes, thought it was even better.

Anyway, Chen Jiajun just keeps the gold at home. By the time he finds out it's fake, it'll be ages!
After rambling on for an hour or so, the manager walked unsteadily into the office and said to Chen Jiajun with a somewhat guilty look, "Young Master Jun, according to today's gold price, fifty million is exactly one ton, and it's ready!"

"Mr. Xie, I'm busy with something today. Let's have tea sometime."

Chen Jiajun hurriedly got up, eager to absorb all the gold now and realize his grand ambitions.

"Alright, take care! Take care, everyone."

Xie Zhichao waved to Chen Jiajun with great delight.

This one!
He made at least HK$30 million in pure profit!

The brothers loaded the gold bricks onto the truck, and Chen Jiajun summoned the system, eagerly exchanging the gold for cosmic coins.

[Exchange successful, 10000 Cosmic Coins added]

[Exchange successful, 20000 Cosmic Coins added]

[Exchange successful, 20000 Cosmic Coins added]

……

Ding!
[Redeem Failed]

Ding!
[Redeem Failed]

The series of failures left Chen Jiajun completely bewildered as he stared at the remaining "gold."

Of the total 1000 kilograms, the money-adding system only absorbed one-third, showing no reaction whatsoever to the remaining "gold."

Without a doubt, there's something wrong with this batch of gold!
The system cannot possibly malfunction!
"Fuck your mother!"

This situation amused Chen Jiajun.

During this time, he also investigated Xie Zhichao's background. Xie Zhichao came from the Xie Liyuan family, a prominent family in Haojiang, but not from the same clan. However, his store also displayed the name Xie Liyuan. The long-established Xie Liyuan Jewelry was a Xie family business.

Although Tse Lee Yuen Gold Shop and Tse Lee Yuen Jewellery have no business connection, they belong to the same Tse family, and the brand effect of "Tse Lee Yuen" has made it very popular in Hong Kong.

This gave the boss, Xie Zhichao, an opportunity to exploit.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Xie Zhichao transitioned to the gold finance industry.

They launched the "999 Gold Accumulation Plan".

Citizens can open a gold trading account by purchasing a single coin of physical gold and trade gold at the price of the day.

It is estimated that Xie Liyuan amassed tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars through this scheme. However, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop did not use the money to purchase gold.

As a result, in August 1982, the international gold price surged by nearly HK$1500 per tael. Due to cash flow problems, Xie Liyuan Gold Shop was forced to close down just one month later due to a run on its banks.

After Xie Liyuan Gold Shop went bankrupt, the crisis was transferred to Hang Lung Bank, which had close ties with it. Investors who did not have time to exchange their gold from Xie Liyuan Gold Shop turned to Hang Lung Bank and waved their gold certificates like a tide, withdrawing HK$7000 million in one day.

Realizing what was happening, Chen Jiajun shouted at the young demon slaves, "This gold shop sold us fake gold! Call all the brothers over here right now!"

Hang Lung Group construction site.

The young demon slaves received the message: "Brothers, muster your troops! Head to Xie Liyuan Gold Shop!"

Upon hearing this, the entire construction site immediately came to a halt.

Then the young demon slaves howled and rushed into the vans.

A young demon slave who had learned to operate an excavator leaned out of the window and yelled, "Come to me, I can bring dozens!"

This terrified Chen Nanlu, the site manager, who rushed out to stop his men: "What's going on!"

"Get lost! Our boss has been bullied!"

A young demon slave, exuding murderous intent, put on his helmet and climbed into a BMW.

"Damn it!"

"It's already good enough that your eldest brother doesn't bully others."

He was inwardly grumbling, but facing this group of hardworking young demon slaves, Chen Nanlu steeled his heart and roared, "Take me with you, let's go, let's go support Brother Jun!"

Don't get me wrong, he was just thinking that if there was nothing else, he had to bring his brothers back as soon as possible to continue working!

"President Chen, you're a true friend!" the young demon slaves roared in unison.

Chen Nanlu couldn't help but feel his blood boil. Was this what it felt like to be out in the world?

"I roam freely, commanding respect from all!"

Boom boom boom!

Chen Nanlu, sitting in the car, said, "Turn the music up a bit!"

After his brothers finished their calls, Chen Jiajun notified his lawyer, Huang Dawen.

Leading dozens of his men, each carrying 'gold,' they surged toward Xie Liyuan's gold shop in a grand procession.

Xie Zhichao had just reached the door when he saw this scene and his heart skipped a beat: "Mr. Chen, is there anything else?"

"You motherfucker, you dare sell me fake gold?"

Chen Jiajun went up and slapped him.

The slap was so powerful that it sent Xie Zhichao spinning five or six times.

Feeling guilty, Xie Zhichao swayed as he stood up and said, "Mr. Chen, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Our Xie Liyuan Gold Shop is a century-old brand, how could we possibly sell fake gold?"

Dozens of young demon slaves, averaging over 1.85 meters tall, with ugly faces and burly builds, rolled up their sleeves:

"Brothers, surround Xie Liyuan's gold shop!"
