Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 86 Is this what you call a big scene?
After seeing Chen Jiajun and his group off, Zhan Peizhong immediately compiled the materials related to Jianing's acquisition of Hanmei and handed them over to John Winbas, a senior executive at Huoduoli Company.

John Wimbas, an Englishman, took a couple of puffs on his pipe, glancing up at Zhan Peizhong every now and then. Finally, he closed the file and said, "Peizhong, you did a good job on this case."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. I am very grateful to Wintek for giving me this great platform," Zhan Peizhong said modestly.

John Wen took two puffs of his briar pipe and asked, "But how come the Carnegie Group spent 400 million to acquire only 15 million shares of a guy named Chen Jiajun?"

"It's possible that both Baoguang Group and Jialing Group are vying for these shares, which is why the price is higher than usual," Zhan Peizhong replied after a moment's thought. "Also, did this Mr. Chen Jiajun entrust us to purchase Wharf Holdings?"

"Wharf Holdings?"

John Wimbas paused for a moment, then immediately said, "Put this on hold. I need to report to the chairman."

"Yes!"

James Pei-chung knew that the chairman John Wimbus was referring to was Shen Bi, the head of the entire HSBC group!
John Wimbas added, "Also, gather some information about Chen Jiajun."

“Yes!” Zhan Peizhong stood up and said.

That night.

John Wimbas arrived at Big Wave Bay with a series of documents.

There are 23 detached villas on Shek O Road in Big Wave Bay.

These villas were all owned by large British companies, and were inhabited by taipans from Jardine Matheson, HSBC, Swire and other large corporations, hence the name "taipan houses".

The butler gestured for John Wimbus to enter and led him to the study.

Just as he sat down, Shen Bi, one of the ten most powerful people in Hong Kong, walked into the study and tossed a cigar to Winbas: "Winbas, you did a good job with the Carnegie Group's acquisition of Hanmei."

"Chairman, it was just a coincidence." Wenbas took the cigar, looking relaxed.

After pouring two glasses of whiskey, Shen Bi sat down in front of Wenbas and said, "By the way, you told me that a client wants to spend 400 million to buy Wharf Holdings shares?"

“That’s right, this is his information. He’s from Hung Hing.” Wenbas said, puffing on his cigar and spreading out the information.

"Hong Xing?"

Shen Bi looked up in confusion; he had never heard of this company.

Despite Hung Hing's seemingly powerful image, if Shen Bi and his men gave the order, Chiang Tin-sang would be immediately sent to Stanley.

“A triad organization,” Winbas explained, then pointed out some key points: “In the case of Carnegie’s acquisition of Hanmei, Mr. Chen entered the market with 45 million yuan and took 400 million yuan with him when he left. Now he wants to acquire some of Wharf Holdings’ shares.”

"Interesting, a truly lucky person!"

Shen Bi took a couple of puffs of his cigar and gave his assessment: "Since he is a client of the company, then we should do it. Meeting the client's requirements is our principle. Keep this material with me for now."

……

The next day.

News quickly spread that Jianing Group had acquired Hanmei's shares from a businessman surnamed Chen at a price higher than the market price, thus becoming Hanmei's largest shareholder.

Chen Songqing, who had vehemently denied acquiring Hanmei's shares yesterday, immediately held a press conference to announce that he had joined Hanmei's board of directors as its largest shareholder, and also initiated an agenda to re-elect the chairman of the board, as well as a plan for Jianing Group to go public through a backdoor listing.

When Jiang Tiansheng heard this news, he couldn't stop smiling.

He immediately checked Hanmei's stock price, which closed at 16 yuan yesterday.

In other words, Chen Jiajun made at least 200 million from this deal!
Go to the street!
A former gangster he once looked down on has transformed into a billionaire!

This is another stroke of incredible luck!
Jiang Tiansheng made a fake phone call to Chen Jiajun: "Jun, congratulations!"

"Mr. Jiang, I'm just dabbling in this," Chen Jiajun replied in a similarly insincere and evasive manner.

"No matter how popular someone becomes, they could never be more popular than you, Mr. Jiang."

……

After a brief struggle, Jiang Tiansheng reminded him, "Oh, and don't forget about the situation in Haojiang."

"rest assured."

Hanging up the phone and putting away his cell phone, Liang Kun, sitting opposite him, cursed, "Damn it! If I had known it would be so profitable, I wouldn't have sold my stocks a long time ago."

"Ah Kun, I'm worried about the risks. That Chen Songqing has already made a move to take me down with him. He's been getting the police to harass me every day lately, which has made it impossible for me to do any business. Next time there's a chance to make money, I'll definitely bring you along. Come on!"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "It feels great to get things done with Ah Kun's money." He raised his glass.

After finishing his drink, Liang Kun asked, "Is Jiang Tiansheng really entrusting the affairs of Macau to you?"

"Correct."

Flicking his cigarette ash, Liang Kun frowned and began to explain the situation in Macau: "There are four main forces in Macau: the Shui Fong gang, whose leader, Lai, is sworn brothers with Broken Tooth Koi of the Number Gang."

"The four members of the Number Gang—Mo Dingping, Wan Kuok-koi, Street Market Wei, and Big Sister—practically controlled the gambling halls of the Pujin Casino. Fat Dog was a top member of the Number Gang. The Number Gang operated independently, but they were still very united when facing external enemies."

"And then there's the Sheng Yi Tong, a small triad. Don't underestimate it just because it's a small triad. Our Hung Hing's influence in Macau is not as great as that of the Sheng Yi Tong."

"There are also big circle boys."

"It's as difficult as climbing to the sky to bring the casino business back."

"Jiang Tiansheng's father, Jiang Zhen, has some connections with the gambling king, He Xin. That's why He Xin gave Hung Hing a gambling hall. So the Number Gang is giving Jiang Tiansheng face and won't do anything to him. But if you go there, that's a different story. They'll be sending you to your death!"

"It seems that this is indeed a difficult problem."

After listening to Liang Kun's explanation, Chen Jiajun nodded: "I'll think about it."

Chen Jiajun nodded.

After Leung Kwan left.

Chen Jiajun immediately called back the old evil spirit who had been assigned to stand next to Jiang Tiansheng: "Old evil spirit, have you heard anything from Jiang Tiansheng lately?"

"Brother, everything is normal. He just let the news that he sent you to Haojiang to do something get out."

The loyal old villain reported.

After listening, Chen Jiajun had a rough idea of ​​Jiang Tiansheng's scheme. Jiang Tiansheng didn't think he could handle the situation at the Macau casinos; if he tried to force it, he might lose his life and fortune.
This is both a conspiracy and an open scheme!
But Jiang Tiansheng was too naive. This time, he went to Haojiang not only to take down the fat dog, but also to plant his flag in Haojiang and open another gang!
"You don't need to keep an eye on Jiang Tiansheng anymore. Just stay with me for the time being."

Since that's the case, there's no need to assign Old Evil to monitor them anymore.

Having made up his mind, Chen Jiajun called Chen Nanlu and said, "Mr. Chen, this is Ajun."

"Ah Jun, how many brothers are coming to work for me this time?" Chen Nanlu's face was beaming with a happy smile.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm calling to let you know that I'm preparing to take five hundred people with me."

"What! That won't do!" Chen Nanlu was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Chen Jiajun comforted him, "I had no choice, Mr. Chen. Don't worry, I'll bring it back to you as soon as I'm done."

"Okay... alright, then send me more people later, I need workers from other places."

Chen Nanlu had no choice but to agree; he couldn't refuse, as Chen Jiajun had at least given him face by calling to inform him.

……

Two days later.

Hong Kong and Macau passenger terminal.

With all preparations complete, Chen Jiajun immediately set off for the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal.

“Auen, Archie, be careful in everything you do while I’m away from Hong Kong. Also, keep an eye on the progress of the research institute project.”

Chen Jiajun gave the order in a serious tone.

Actually, there's no need to worry too much. Even if we left a few Hell Knights, let alone these two, no one could cause trouble.

After everyone was ready to go, they boarded a rented yacht and set off.

Meanwhile, a staff member at the dock immediately called the number service.

The Hong Kong and Macau branch is one of the businesses of Macau casino tycoon He Xin. The number swindler, being in a close position, also has many employees stationed on the Hong Kong and Macau branch, so they can be informed of any news or developments immediately.

Upon arriving in Haojiang, the old villain coldly said, "Get your weapons!"

The twenty Hell Knights immediately drew their weapons.
The next moment, several large trucks suddenly rushed out from the dock intersection.

"Hey!"

The truck braked suddenly.

Groups of gangsters from Macau, armed with knives, guns, clubs, and other weapons, surged down like a honeycomb or a tidal wave.

"Rat-a-tat-tat!" Someone fired a gun into the air.

"I want to see Liang Jun!" Fat Dog roared, leading dozens of gunmen as he slowly emerged from the crowd. Before even reaching Macau, Fat Dog had already presented Chen Jiajun with a "gift."

How arrogant of them, in broad daylight!

After the yacht docked, facing dozens of gunmen, Chen Jiajun led the way off the boat, and Doom and Lao E immediately followed.

Facing a gang of gangsters from Macau who outnumbered them several times over, none of the young demon slaves showed any fear. Their eyes gleamed with bloodlust, and their bodies radiated murderous intent.

Looking at Chen Jiajun, who was just a step away from him, Fat Dog calmly asked, "You're Liang Jun?"

Looking around, Chen Jiajun scanned the dozens of gunmen, finally settling on Fat Dog: "You're Fat Dog?"

"You're really arrogant, daring to come to Macau with so few men?! You think you can take down Fat Dog with this bunch of people? Take your men and get back! I'll let you off the hook for Brother Kun's sake!"

The fat dog pointed at the yacht and shouted angrily.

Chen Jiajun smiled broadly: "Fat dog, do you dare to make a move here in broad daylight?"

"If you lay a hand on me, I don't know if I'll live or die, but you're definitely going to die."

Fat Dog narrowed his eyes, looking at the twenty gunmen behind Chen Jiajun. They were so close, it was hard to say what would happen if they made a move.

Even if he lives, the Macau police will not let him go!
"hehe."

Chen Jiajun sneered and strode forward.

The Hell Knights, strutting arrogantly in their leader's footsteps, would occasionally swoop in and bump into Fat Dog's henchmen.

"Brother Jun, the car is all ready!"

When Sha Qiang saw this, he broke out in a cold sweat and was deeply impressed by Chen Jiajun's audacity.

This is the leader of Hung Hing!
That's the spirit of Liangjun!

Behind him, Fat Dog shouted fiercely, "Handsome Jun, if you've got the guts, your men will step out of the Pujin Casino, otherwise, I'll wipe you all out tonight!"

Chen Jiajun ignored the warning and climbed into the carriage. At the same time, he gave Lao E a wink, and Lao E's figure slowly disappeared into thin air. Due to the obstruction of the crowd, the people outside could not see this scene.

As Chen Jiajun led his men to Macau, rumors began to circulate in the underworld.

Jiang Tiansheng's villa.

Chen Yao approached Jiang Tiansheng and said, "Mr. Jiang, Liang Jun has already taken his men to Macau."

"How many people?" Jiang Tiansheng asked, looking up.

Chen Yao replied, "Including himself, there are a total of twenty-three people."

"Heh, is that all? Let's wait and see."

Jiang Tiansheng sneered, stood up, and looked at the Haojiang River on the map.

At the same time, many forces turned their attention to Macau!
Before even arriving at the Lisboa Casino, the number clerk was already waiting downstairs with her men.

Upon seeing Chen Jiajun, the eldest sister said with slight surprise, "I thought you would be so scared that you would run back to Hong Kong."

"Haha, is this what you call a big event?"

Chen Jiajun laughed and got out of the car, and the Hell Knights scattered to keep watch.

The eldest sister said seriously, "Liangjun, I really don't understand you. Why are you working so hard for Jiang Tiansheng? Even Jiang Tiansheng can't handle Fatty Dog, so what makes you think you can?"

The eldest sister came to see Chen Jiajun because he had gambled heavily at her casino, earning her a large commission.

“There’s no other way. It’s called ‘business,’ so I have to do it. I’m not doing it for Jiang Tiansheng, but for myself.” Chen Jiajun shook his head resolutely.

The eldest sister shook her head and said, "Did you see Fat Dog's gang? I advise you to stay in the hotel for a few days. Don't think that just because you can make a name for yourself in Hong Kong, you can handle Fat Dog. That's all I have to say. Goodbye."

After saying that, the eldest sister turned and left with her men.

With the Hell Knights by his side, Chen Jiajun immediately booked several rooms at the hotel.

Within the entire Macau area, the hotel where the Grand Lisboa Casino is located is absolutely safe.

Almost everyone was pessimistic about Chen Jiajun's trip to Macau.

But Chen Jiajun insisted on doing it for the whole of Hong Kong!

What Jiang Tiansheng can't handle, Liang Jun can!

"Take us to the casino first and let us see what's going on," Chen Jiajun instructed Sha Qiang.

"Yes, Brother Jun, please come with me."

Led by Silly Qiang, Chan Ka Chun and his brothers arrived at Hung Hing's casino.

The empty casino had ten gambling tables, but no employees.

The marble floor was covered with a thick layer of dust, and there were even spider webs in the corners.

“Brother Jun, our Hung Hing casino has been abandoned for almost two months.”

Sha Qiang explained with a wry smile that the name Hung Hing only had some use in Hong Kong, but in the chaotic world of Macau, people didn't give you any face at all.

In the early 1980s, only the SJM Holdings, owned by the gambling tycoon Stanley Ho, held a gambling license in Macau. Due to the lack of competitors, there was no shortage of customers.

Therefore, the decoration of the gambling hall was quite different from the magnificent VIP rooms of later generations.

In this era, the junket operator system did not yet exist in Macau, and the vast majority of its customer traffic relied on travel companies.

This situation did not improve until the establishment of the VIP lounge.

Looking at the long-abandoned gambling hall, Chen Jiajun asked Sha Qiang, "How much money is left in the company account?"

"Twenty million, Brother Jun. Mr. Jiang said that if you need the money, Brother Jun, you should let me cooperate with you," Sha Qiang replied immediately.

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Let's renovate the casino first. The casino needs to reopen, otherwise the locals will laugh at us, Hung Hing, for being all bark and no bite."

"what?"

"Brother Jun, are you going to renovate the casino?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Qiang felt his legs tremble. He stammered, "Brother Jun... Brother Jun, the Number Gang has informants all over Macau. When we go out on business, Fat Dog will definitely send people to mess with us."

"You just go because I told you to? How did a dignified Hung Hing member turn into a complete idiot?"

Chen Jiajun's face darkened:
“Old evil, you go out with him.”

"yes, Sir!"

The old evil man grabbed the skinny, foolish Qiang and walked out without saying a word.

……

For the people of Haojiang, this was just an ordinary day.

No matter how much trouble the casinos cause, it doesn't affect their livelihoods.

Old Evil and Silly Strong went to the furniture market in Haojiang and bought a batch of high-quality gambling tables and furniture.

Sha Qiang kept looking around nervously: "Brother Evil, I'll go pay the bill, you get in the car first."

Old Evil nodded and climbed into the truck bed.

Just then, dozens of knife-wielding men rushed out from the street corner:
"Kill that Hung Hing guy!"

"Kill him! Two hundred thousand each!"

The group of thugs tore off the newspapers covering their knives along the way, revealing the cleavers in their hands, which gleamed coldly. The group rushed straight into the truck, the truck doors were closed, and the truck slowly started moving.

"Damn! Something's happened!"

Sha Qiang was dumbfounded. Liang Jun had just asked him to come out on an errand, and he was extremely unwilling. He knew something bad was going to happen, so he didn't even bother to find the money. He rushed into his car, started the engine, and followed the truck while making a phone call: "Brother Jun, something bad has happened! We've been ambushed!"

"go!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiajun immediately led the Hell Knights down to the underground garage. Once there, they started the car and roared out.

Just as I rushed out of the underground parking garage and arrived at the hotel's main entrance, a large truck came to a stop, swaying precariously.

It was the truck that Sha Qiang had mentioned.

at this time!

Blood was seeping from the cargo box of the truck, leaving a trail of blood that kept spreading.

Upon closer inspection, the sheet metal on both sides of the cargo box appears to be deformed.
