Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

After finishing his business here, Chen Jiajun flew to Brunei.

Currently, Brunei, Malaysia, and Indonesia are still embroiled in disputes.

The three kingdoms managed the conflict well, and it did not attract much attention.

After all, the financial crisis is not over yet, and all Asian countries are facing a major headache.

However, Kalimantan is now under the control of Brunei.

Lee Yao Hua persuaded Malaysia with promises of profit, and directly leased two provinces on Kalimantan Island belonging to Malaysia for a period of one hundred years.

As for Indonesia, Suharto has refused to give up, and the two sides are still negotiating.

During this period, Suharto tried every means imaginable, but to no avail.

This whole thing was started by Suhato, and now that he's being beaten down by Brunei, nobody's speaking up for him.

Within ASEAN, Malaysia has been bought off by Brunei.

Singapore is too busy taking care of itself.

Siam is too far away; talking to them is pointless.

With the domestic situation becoming increasingly critical, calls for his resignation have been growing louder.

This left Suharto completely isolated and helpless.

Many people in China even want him to end the standoff with Brunei and use the Makassar Strait as the boundary.

After hearing Li Yaohua explain the current situation, Chen Jiajun nodded with satisfaction: "Kalimantan Island is vast and sparsely populated, taking it would be perfect! It seems we can continue our expansion plan!"

Li Yaohua took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

As the leader of a country, it would be absurd to say that Li Yaohua had no ambition.

Although Brunei had a good economy, it was still a small country.

People just see him as a fat pig, someone who could be beaten up at any time.

But things changed after Kalimantan was captured.

Borneo, the world's third largest island, boasts abundant land and natural resources, yet its population is pitifully small.

These all provided Li Yaohua with a great opportunity to showcase his talents.

In addition, Brunei has experienced a significant population boom in recent years, and he believes that with more people, it should be able to develop rapidly.

As for the threats from Indonesia and Malaysia? Lee Yao Hua didn't take them seriously at all.

With the young demon army under Chen Jiajun's command and the excellent equipment of the Soviet Union, they have already taught the whole world a good lesson.

I doubt anyone would dare mess with me right now.

I talked with Li Yaohua and his think tank about future developments.

It must be said that Li Yaohua has managed to acquire quite a few talented individuals in recent years, and these think tanks are far more comprehensive in their considerations than Chen Jiajun.

So Chen Jiajun only offered some suggestions and then simply delegated the authority to them to develop on their own.

After his inspection, Chen Jiajun found Brunei thriving. He handed the place over to Bai Lu, instructing her to send troops to guard it, while he prepared to take Dum back to Hong Kong.

However, before leaving, Chen Jiajun still went to visit the Orn factory in Brunei.

This guy has now completely turned into a research fanatic, leading a group of recruited researchers on a wild run along the route set by Chen Jiajun.

Especially in the research and development of smartphones, there seems to have been a breakthrough.

Although it came several years later than the world's first smartphone, it was still much faster than the famous first-generation Apple phone.

It's estimated that it won't be long before Ornn will be able to launch the first commercially available smartphone.

The only things that need to be done are modularization and cost reduction.

However, before that, Chen Jiajun still had one worry that hadn't been resolved: the Eastern Telegraph Office.

After the British completely withdrew from Hong Kong, the Cable & Wireless Telegraph Company, which had been stubbornly refusing to budge, finally saw a turning point.

Having waited so long, Chen Jiajun was naturally not going to let it go.

Therefore, they have already had Wayne contact the Eastern Telegraph Office.

By acquiring Hong Kong's telecommunications business and then launching their own smartphone, they can maximize their profits.

However, this takes time and cannot be rushed.

However, when Chen Jiajun thought of his phone, he suddenly remembered something else.

That was the inexpensive PHS (Personal Handyphone System).

If Chen Jiajun remembered correctly, the technology of the PHS phone was very basic, but it was still a money-making machine.

Not only can it drive down the current high price of mobile phones, but it can also seize a huge amount of funds.

In this way, Shenzhou Technology can even achieve self-sufficiency and healthy development without needing additional funding from Chen Jiajun.

So Chen Jiajun brought up the technology of PHS (Personal Handyphone System) with Aoen.

However, Chen Jiajun didn't understand the technology and could only try his best to describe it.

After listening, Orn remained silent for a moment, then said to Chen Jiajun, "Boss, you mean PHS technology? That thing is outdated, nobody uses it anymore!"

PHS stands for Wireless Local Phone.

Wireless coverage is achieved through base stations, allowing PHS phones to connect wirelessly to the fixed-line telephone network.

This thing has long been replaced by more advanced technology.

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "Just tell me if you can do it or not!"

“That’s no problem, but… Boss, are you sure there’s a market for this thing?” Orn asked curiously.

Chen Jiajun smiled mysteriously and said, "We have a huge market, believe me, this thing will definitely sell like hotcakes."

Orn scratched his head and said, "That's no problem. I'll adjust the production line and get some parts from Japan! But boss, is the demand large?"

"It's hard to say right now. You should get a demo unit out first!" Chen Jiajun said to Orn after thinking for a while.

After all, the PHS phone requires a landline network, and Chen Jiajun needs to get things sorted out with the Eastern Telegraph Office first.

Ornn nodded: "I understand, boss!"

After discussing the matter with Orn, Chen Jiajun took a flight back to Hong Kong.

Now that Brunei is almost finished, large-scale development will require massive amounts of capital.

This is something that Hong Kong alone might not be able to handle; it's estimated that we'll need to start from our hometown.

In short, Chen Jiajun is very busy right now.

……

Inside a residential building in Hong Kong.

A group of men were plotting something while looking at a map of Hong Kong.

"The security company dispatched four vehicles at the same time: a jewelry store in Sheung Wan, a betting station at the Hong Kong Jockey Club, HSBC in Aberdeen, and a Chinese business in Tsim Sha Tsui." A bald man was explaining the situation to his partner.

The bald man is named Tao Chengbang, a local from Hong Kong, a member of the Big Circle Gang, and a frequent visitor to prison.

This group of people gathered together, clearly preparing to rob someone.

"Which car has the most money?" one of the robbers asked curiously.

Tao Chengbang said calmly, "Of course it's HSBC."

At that moment, a middle-aged man spoke up: "Which car is the most fun?"

Tao Chengbang hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think HSBC is a good choice!"

The middle-aged man was the leader of this group, and his name was Cao Nan.

On the surface, this guy is a respectable businessman from the mainland, but behind the scenes, he is the leader of this gang of big-time robbers.

However, he didn't rob for money, after all, this guy was quite wealthy.

The reason I do this is simply because... it's fun!
This guy is quite arrogant, thinking he can outsmart the Hong Kong police.

And he did indeed escape from the Hong Kong police several times, so he likes to take on high-difficulty challenges.

Cao Nan picked up the model car representing Huashang Bank and played with it in his hands, saying, "As far as I know, Huashang Bank is no less impressive than HSBC, is it?"

Tao Chengbang shook his head and said to Cao Nan, "Boss, don't touch this car! Listen to me!"

"Reason?" Cao Nan asked with amusement.

Tao Chengbang took a deep breath and said, "People will die, and many people will die!"

As a gangster who had been in Hong Kong for so long, Tao Chengbang naturally knew who was behind the Wah Shang Bank.

Huashang Bank was formerly known as...Pan-Asia Bank.

It was created by Chen Jiajun in partnership with several big bosses from the Chinese Business Association.

What Chen Jiajun represents in Hong Kong is something those involved in triads certainly know.

Tao Chengbang said helplessly, "We can't afford to offend the boss behind this bank, it's Chen Jiajun!" "Oh? The one known as the 'King of Hong Kong'?" Cao Nan seemed even more interested: "Then we can't let him go!"

Tao Chengbang was speechless for a moment: "This is very risky!"

"That's what makes it fun! It's decided!" Cao Nan is the leader, and no one else will object to his decisions.

Unless Tao Chengbang withdraws himself.

However, Tao Chengbang, who had just been released from prison, was penniless and had to rely on his girlfriend to support him.

After struggling for a long time, I gritted my teeth and prepared to keep going.

After all, Huashang Bank wasn't targeting Chen Jiajun alone!

After identifying their target, the thugs began to discuss their plan of action.

"This car will travel through the West Kowloon corridor towards Jordan. One driver and two others will be enough!" the robber in charge of the route told the group.

Cao Nan placed a bullet at the target location, then said to the group, "Count me in, this is interesting!"

Generally speaking, Cao Nan is in charge of the overall situation and rarely takes personal action.

Upon hearing about the planned robbery of Huashang Bank, he immediately became interested and insisted on joining the operation.

Having more people is always a good thing, so no one refused.

Soon the group of robbers began to act in shifts.

These people first determined the route of the insurance company's escort vehicle, and then brought in a crane under the highway.

Then each person prepared their equipment and was ready to act at any time.

Cao Nan was different from those brainless thugs; his plan was very meticulous.

The West Kowloon Corridor is a perennial congestion route through Yau Tsim Mong. In addition, they plan to use a crane to lift the escort vehicle from the highway to the bridge, which will maximize the obstruction of police support.

By the time the police arrived, these people had already left with their belongings.

He had used this method several times before, and it had proven effective time and time again.

However, the police were not entirely inactive, especially a senior inspector named Lu Mingzhe, who had been keeping an eye on Cao Nan and his gang for a long time.

Cao Nan had escaped from their grasp several times before, and this time they were determined to avenge their defeat.

So after receiving the information from his informant, Lü Mingzhe staked out the area around the four armored vehicles early on.

A large number of police officers have been deployed and are ready to provide support at any time.

When the armored truck arrived at the overpass, the robbers immediately used a crane to smash the windows of the truck.

Although the windows of the armored truck were bulletproof, they couldn't withstand an attack from a heavy object weighing several tons.

In an instant, the front window of the armored vehicle was smashed to pieces, and the huge hooks embedded themselves into the driver's cabin, lifting the entire vehicle up.

Although the guards inside the armored vehicle were rolling around inside due to weightlessness, they still pressed the alarm device immediately.

Subsequently, all the police officers who were stationed nearby received the news.

Upon seeing the armored truck being lifted up, he immediately reported to his superiors: "Boss, at Exit D of the West Kowloon Corridor, the armored truck has been hooked down under the bridge!"

Lu Mingzhe immediately notified all police officers: "Everyone, intercept on Shanghai Street, you must be on the scene within three minutes!"

The police officers acted swiftly, immediately converging on Shanghai Street.

However, at this moment, the bandits on the crane had already lowered the armored vehicle and quickly took control of the guards.

Just as they had obtained the items and were preparing to leave quickly.

Members of the Major Crimes Unit have arrived, and a fierce firefight immediately ensued.

The situation immediately became tense.

If this continues, with more and more police reinforcements arriving, they will either be shot dead on the spot or arrested by the police.

Cao Nan was also surprised by the police's swift action, so he risked going down to the scene to provide support.

Lu Mingzhe had been waiting for him, and as soon as Cao Nan appeared, he, as the commander, immediately took action to control Cao Nan.

Just as they thought they had finally brought the thugs under control, a car rammed directly into Lü Mingzhe.

This not only gave Cao Nan time to escape, but also allowed him to kill a hostage in front of Lü Mingzhe.

This enraged Lü Mingzhe, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

The sixth encounter ended in defeat for Lü Mingzhe.

……

On the other side, Chen Jiajun had just gotten off the plane.

I'm going to work on some documents and then go home to rest.

Even with his improved physical condition, Chen Jiajun was finding it difficult to keep up with all the travel.

But as soon as he returned to the office, Su Xingbo came up to him: "Boss, something's happened!"

Chen Jiajun asked in surprise, "What happened? Something happened as soon as I got back?"

Su Xingbai helplessly spread his hands and said, "The insurance company's armored truck heading to Huashang Bank was robbed! The police fought a shootout with the robbers in the street, but they still got caught by that gang of thugs!"

"I just got off the plane and you're telling me I got robbed?" Chen Jiajun's eyes widened immediately.

Su Xingbo spread his hands and said, "That's the situation! The police say they're doing their best to investigate, but I doubt it!"

After returning, Chen Jiajun cleaned up all the underworld figures, and they did indeed become much more obedient.

However, it seems that there has been no further action taken by my hometown towards Hong Kong.

These people started to get restless again.

Among them, the Big Circle Gang and the Vietnamese Gang are the most vocal.

In the past six months, robberies and murders have occurred almost every day.

The police officers on the front lines of the Major Crimes Unit were extremely busy.

Chen Jiajun was both angry and amused; he never expected that anyone in Hong Kong would dare to rob him.

Is it because Old Zhu and he are not in Hong Kong that these big circle boys think they're all in charge?

Thinking of this, Chen Jiajun picked up the phone on the table and found the number of Daquanlong, the current leader of the Daquan Gang.

"Big Circle Dragon, this is Chen Jiajun!" Chen Jiajun didn't waste any words; he was there to confront them: "I've heard your Big Circle Gang has been quite active lately?"

Upon receiving Chen Jiajun's words, Daquanlong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Mr. Chen, what happened?"

Chen Jiajun sneered, "The West Kowloon armored truck was hijacked, and it's still on the news! Do you know that my stuff was on it?"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Daquanlong immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He immediately cried out to Chen Jiajun, "Mr. Chen, I swear to God! Our Big Circle Gang hasn't done this kind of thing for a long time. Our men are all honestly running freight transport, there's no way we would ever rob anyone!"

"Really?" Chen Jiajun didn't believe a word of what these bastards said.

Big Circle Dragon quickly said, "If you don't trust me, you... you can ask Big Circle Leopard! My men might have some who collect protection money and others who guard the place, but they definitely don't go out to rob!"

Upon hearing that Daquanlong had brought up Daquanbao, Chen Jiajun immediately believed him to be 80% certain.

After all, Big Circle Leopard infiltrated the Big Circle Gang and almost wiped it out completely.

In other words, Daquanlong survived because he was honest and led his men to set up several logistics and construction companies instead of continuing down the path of organized crime.

Of course, it's also possible that the two have some kind of relationship, but Chen Jiajun believes that Big Circle Leopard wouldn't dare to lie to him about such a thing.

So Chen Jiajun coldly said to Big Circle Dragon, "I will definitely ask! But if you say it wasn't you, then I need to know if any Big Circle Boys have come to Hong Kong to make a living during this period! What exactly are these people doing, and whether they are related to this matter, I need to know!"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Daquanlong immediately hesitated.

Chen Jiajun snorted and said, "What? Is it difficult?"

The big-circle dragon immediately shuddered and quickly said, "No problem at all, give me a little time and I'll check right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiajun immediately called Daquanbao.

After recounting the incident, Big Circle Leopard also seemed surprised: "That's not right. The guys who recently came from our hometown are all pretty honest workers. We've already implemented controls here, and with the cooperation of the Hong Kong police, this shouldn't have happened!"

Chen Jiajun was immediately stunned: "Damn it, have I seen a ghost?"

"We can help you investigate, but don't get your hopes up too high!" Big Circle Leopard said speechlessly, "These days, a lot of people are impersonating Big Circle Gang to do things for us, so there's not much we can do!"

"Okay, try your best to help with the investigation!" Chen Jiajun said with a headache.

Seeing Chen Jiajun's headache, Su Xingbo couldn't help but ask, "Boss, can't find anything?"

Chen Jiajun snorted coldly: "As long as they're in Hong Kong, I don't believe we can't find out! Go and inform Lao Zhu and other triads. I want to know the methods of these so-called 'Big Circle Boys'."

"Got it, boss, but... I think the police might know something!" Su Xingbo reminded Chen Jiajun before leaving.

Chen Jiajun suddenly remembered that the police's fight with the criminals seemed to have been planned in advance.

The police might actually know something. (End of Chapter)
