Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 126 We need to get to the construction site and start work first.

As Wu Guangzheng walked out of HSBC, he opened the door of his Rolls-Royce: "Dad, the Hong Kong triads are going to hold their inauguration ceremony at the San Sheng Temple in Fanling. They'll be making arrangements with the elders in the New Territories. I'll call Lu Huangfa right away."

Before, many triads had been working under Bao Chuanwang's patronage for his cargo business, and his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng knew the ways of Hong Kong triads.

“Call him right now and tell him to call that kid named Chen Jiajun.”

Sir John Paul gave the instructions, then said to the driver, "Fanling, Sam Shing Temple."

The call was quickly connected, and Wu Guangzheng said politely, "Uncle Fa, this is Wu Guangzheng."

"Oh! It's Mr. Wu, hello!" Upon hearing the other party introduce himself, Lu Huangfa immediately recognized his identity.

Wu Guangzheng said softly, "Uncle Fa, do you know Chen Jiajun, the person in charge of Hung Hing?"

“I recognize it, I recognize it, but I don’t know…” Lu Huangfa suddenly felt nervous.

Wu Guangzheng smiled and said, "It's like this, I heard that he is holding a ceremony at the San Sheng Temple in Fanling today. My dad and I would like to go and visit him, and also get to know Chen Jiajun. I wonder if you could say hello?"

"what?"

Lu Huangfa was terrified. The famous richest man in the Chinese world, Sir John Paul Wong, and his son-in-law were going to attend Chen Jiajun's inauguration ceremony.
Did he hear it correctly?
Wu Guangzheng coughed and said, "You heard me right. Could you pass on this message for me?"

"Understood, Mr. Wu!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Huangfa felt the mobile phone in his hand getting quite hot.

He could tell that Wu Guangzheng's voice didn't contain any anger, but rather a strong desire to get to know Chen Jiajun.

Being good-looking really does bring good luck!
Go to the street!
He's now afraid that the country folk from the New Territories and those gangsters might offend Sir John Paul!
Lu Huangfa immediately told the driver to drive off, then called Lu Hantao: "Brother Tao, Sir Bao and his son-in-law say they're going to the San Sheng Temple in Fanling for Chen Jiajun's inauguration ceremony. You and I..."

“I’m already on my way there. Jardine Matheson’s taipan Newt Blake, Hongkong Land’s taipan Paul Todd, and HSBC’s taipan Shum Pik have also gone to Fanling Sam Shing Temple. We’ll meet up there later.”

Inside the Mercedes, Lu Hantao hung up the phone and gripped his cane.

"Dad, why do so many important people want to get to know him?"

Lu Yongyu's face was flushed, whether from excitement about the upcoming appearance of so many important figures or something else, his heart was filled with sweetness.

Lu Hantao had already made up his mind, but he didn't say anything, he just looked out the window.

After a moment, he looked at his daughter: "Yongyu, you're not getting any younger."

Lu Yongyu's face immediately turned pale: "Dad, I'm twenty years old, I'm still young."

Lu Hantao was exasperated: "Still young my foot! Do you really want all the good men in the world to be taken?"

Lu Yongyu persisted, pouting, "Dad, I have a crush on someone, but it seems like he doesn't like me."

"Damn it! Who's looking down on my daughter, Lu Hantao's daughter? I'll hang him from a tree and beat him!" Lu Hantao slammed his cane on the ground.

“He has girlfriends, and two of them,” Lu Yongyu said truthfully.

Clearing his throat, Lu Hantao spoke softly. He knew his daughter was very picky and wouldn't stoop to the level of ordinary people. He said gently, "Dad has a young man he admires, Junyan. He doesn't come from a very good family, and Dad hopes you can get to know him..."

"Ahem, I'll be frank. I think Chan Ka-Chun is pretty good. Even though he's a gangster, don't look down on him. He's the leader of Hung Hing after all."

"Dad... he's the one I love."

Lu Yongyu's face turned rosy.

Lu Hantao was so angry his beard turned white. "What! You just said he has two girlfriends, and you still like him! What a disgrace to our family!"

……

At the foot of Fanling Triangle, after receiving a phone call, Wong Chi-shing immediately stood up straight and replied, "YES, SIR!"

Then he shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Attention all groups, immediately search the entire vicinity. Several important figures will be arriving soon."

He put down the walkie-talkie and shouted to the officers beside him, "What are you all standing there for? Search the entire grassland nearby right now! From this moment on, no one is allowed to enter the mountains!"

"Brother Cheng, what important person is coming over?"

"Just go! Stop arguing!"

If Huang Zhicheng hadn't heard the names of those important figures with his own ears, he might have even thought he was hallucinating.

……

In the backyard of the Three Saints Palace, Lu Yeqiang came over and said loudly, "Brothers of the underworld, HSBC's Boss Shen Bi, Jardine Matheson's Boss Newbie Jian, Global Freight Forward's Sir John Paul, and several elders from the New Territories will be here to attend Mr. Chen's inauguration ceremony. Please be mindful of your conduct."

After he finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone looked at each other.

Although they are big shots in Hong Kong, they are only part of the small circle of the underworld, and are nothing compared to these real big shots.

If these big shots say one word, all of them have to jump into the sea.

This is no joke.

In the 1960s, a shady tavern owner angered a wealthy businessman from Chaozhou.

The wealthy businessman spread the word that he wanted him dead.

The leader of the gang, whose name started with "He," was quite famous in the underworld. To avoid implicating his family and the gang, he had a good meal that day, made his final arrangements, and then jumped into the sea.

Could it be... could it be that the leader of Hung Hing has already become equal to these big shots?

Even the Queen's birthday celebration couldn't be this grand, could it?

Chen Jiajun stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to everyone, and said, "I'm sorry, I hope you brothers and sisters in the martial arts world will forgive me."

"It's alright!" "Mr. Chen..."

The leaders of the various organizations all wore smiles.

……

In the open space in front of the Three Saints Temple, a row of stalls were set up. Hung Hing had arranged for more than 30 core members of its triads to register and recruit hooligans and lone wolves who wanted to join Hung Hing.

Uncle Xing's son, Willie, is a law student. He's wearing a suit and glasses, and his fingers are constantly typing on a typewriter.

"Name."

"Chen Zilong".

"Education?"

“I’m here to join Hung Hing,” Chen Zilong reminded him.

Willie, somewhat impatient, repeated without even looking up, "Education?"

"Zhang Zhushan Middle School."

“Go register at another church,” Willie said directly.

Chen Zilong quickly explained, "No, I'm very good at fighting, and I want to become Jun-ge's apprentice."

“Ah Da only accepts university graduates. You, a high school student, are you qualified? Next!” Willie replied coldly and waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zilong felt a chill in his heart. He had never imagined that a gang leader would only accept college students as his disciples.

It seems Hung Hing really has something going for them!

I'll bear with it for now!
He asked, "Then may I ask which one is Doom and Evil Brother's gang?"

Willie shouted, "There's someone here who wants to join Doom and Old Evil's gang, next!"

Excuse me, could you please move aside?

A handsome young man with a buzz cut, well-built, and dressed in a suit spoke in a gentle tone.

"Name?"

"Lin Yutian."

"Educational background".

"I graduated from the University of Melbourne," the handsome young man introduced himself.

Willie looked up and asked, "Little turtle?"

"Yes, this is my bachelor's degree certificate. I studied business administration."

"Oh? Why do you want to join Hung Hing?"

"I joined a Muay Thai gym to learn Muay Thai when I was young, and I always wanted to join a community to do things."

My parents are both from overseas, and I have a history of stabbing people, so some companies are hesitant to hire me. I hope to work under Mr. Chen.

"It's just stabbing someone, it's not a big deal. You studied abroad for so long, do you know how to speak English?"

"meeting."

"Okay, you're the one. I'll take you to meet Ah Da this afternoon. How old are you?"

"24."

"Could you tell me your mother's and father's names?"

"My dad and that silly Thai guy..."

……

Chen Zilong was brought to the old prison's team.

"Brother Yu, I am Zilong from Ciyun Mountain." In front of Old Yu, Chen Zilong regained some confidence and introduced himself.

Old Yu replied calmly, "Never heard of it."

"I'm pretty good at fighting. I'll do whatever the boss tells me to do." Chen Zilong said eagerly.

"No matter how good you are at fighting, can you beat me?" Old Yu looked at him with disdain: "You look like someone who's out doing something."

"Yes, yes!" Chen Zilong nodded and quickly agreed.

Old Prisoner said, "How about this, joining the Wan Chai and Central branches is not out of the question, but you have to start working on the Hang Lung Group's construction site first."

"what?"

Chen Zilong's mouth dropped open.

"Still being picky? These gangs have plenty of thugs. Not just the Wan Chai gang, but also Central, Yuen Long, and Hoi Kong. Do you think we need you?" Old Prison said arrogantly, smoking a cigarette. "Want to do it or not? If not, go to another gang."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm very capable!"

Chen Zilong's heart sank completely, but in order to join Hung Hing, he had no choice but to start working on the construction site.

Perhaps we can uncover some behind-the-scenes deals between Hang Lung Group and Hung Hing, which would be a great achievement.
