Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

The two spent one night in New York and set off for Albuquerque the next day.

However, Cao Weicai and Chen Jiajun were dumbfounded on their first day in the area.

The two were robbed on the very day they arrived in Albuquerque.

And it was noon, when the sun was at its strongest.

Looking at the young man in front of them, who was clearly of Hispanic descent, they saw him brandishing a short knife and shouting "Robbery!"

Chen Jiajun still felt a sense of absurdity and said to Cao Weicai, "Are all the people here so 'simple and honest'?"

Cao Weicai felt like dying; he never imagined he would encounter such a thing as soon as he arrived.

Enraged, he yelled at his bodyguard, "Cripple this idiot!"

This is a minor character; Doom doesn't need to lift a finger.

Chen Jiajun and Dumu stood aside and watched the show.

The two young demon slaves went straight for the thug.

When the thugs saw bodyguards getting out of the car, they were clearly flustered.

He dropped the knife and prepared to run away.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast the thug was, he couldn't outrun the two young demon slaves. They grabbed the thug by the collar and slammed him to the ground.

The thug let out a muffled groan and couldn't even get up.

However, this thug was quite ruthless; he reached into his pocket, ready to pull out a pistol and fight back.

He heard it clearly: that rich man had his bodyguard cripple him.

But before he could even draw his gun, a large foot stepped on his wrist.

Unable to muster any strength in his wrist, the gun immediately fell out.

The young demon slave grinned maliciously and crushed the thug's wrist with a single stomp.

This caused the creature to let out a scream that was inhuman.

This immediately cleared away the malicious gazes around them.

"Idiot, you're lucky today, get lost!" The young demon slave kicked the thug away, then left with Cao Weicai and the others.

When I arrived at the headquarters of the Southern Company, it had now been changed to 7-11.

A manager came out and led his staff to greet the two big bosses.

Chen Jiajun and Cao Weicai didn't say much and followed the other party into the company for a tour.

The Southern Company's core structure is still intact, so Cao Weicai can temporarily resume business and recover some lost sales channels without too much trouble.

However, asking him to do anything else would be beyond his capabilities.

That's why he contacted a headhunting firm to find a professional manager to manage the business.

After all, even a weakened 7-Eleven is still bigger than a horse. Although it went bankrupt and was liquidated, it still retained a lot of usable assets and talent.

The two of them came here this time to retain the professional talent within the company.

It's best for 7-Eleven to remain as it is until a new professional manager arrives.

But before Cao Weicai could even start making empty promises, a middle-aged man walked into Cao Weicai's office and silently handed in his resignation.

This completely baffled Cao Weicai: "Hey, Luo Wen, what do you mean by this?"

The manager named Rowan shook his head and said, "Boss, I've made up my mind!"

"Do you feel the compensation is insufficient?" Cao Weicai asked, frowning.

"No, boss, the salary you're offering is the highest in the industry!" Luo Wen shook his head.

Cao Weicai was even more puzzled: "What grievance did you suffer? It's okay, you can tell me directly!"

Rowan shook his head: "My colleagues are all very friendly, and I haven't encountered any unfair treatment!"

"What was the reason for that?" Cao Weicai asked, somewhat puzzled.

Rowan, the man in front of me, is a very important person in the company. Without him, the operations in New Mexico simply wouldn't be able to get going.

That's why Cao Wei tried to persuade him to stay multiple times, but he didn't expect it wasn't about the salary.

The man named Luo Wen was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said to Cao Weicai, "Boss, I'll be frank, 7-Eleven is being targeted! We ordinary people can't afford to mess with that person. If I don't leave and refuse to collude with them, I might die a violent death!"

Cao Weicai was immediately shocked: "Who dares to be so arrogant? Are the laws of New Mexico just for show?"

Cao Weicai knew exactly what his boss had done to start his business, but he never expected that he would be blackmailed.

He was immediately furious; this was simply defying the laws of nature.

Why did Cao Weicai choose New Mexico? It's because they had cooperated with the Huaqing Gang.

In New Mexico, the Chinese Youth Gang has considerable influence, even having an island in Mexico as its base.

Although the Huaqing Gang's power has declined in recent years, not just anyone dares to cause trouble for them.

Hearing that some of his subordinates were plotting against them, Cao Weicai was immediately enraged.

After all, the robbery he encountered after getting off the bus had already made him lose face in front of the big boss.

If he builds another place like this now, what will the big boss think of him?

So Cao Wei said angrily, "Take your resignation back first. The company will help you with anything! I want to see who has the guts to do this!"

As he spoke, Cao Weicai took his two bodyguards and prepared to go see who was causing trouble.

Rowan looked distressed, but he had no choice but to follow.

After all, this whole thing started because of him.

Soon they arrived at a store, where Cao Weicai saw several thugs harassing customers and driving them all out of the convenience store.

These thugs were all fierce and menacing, and even if customers were harassed, they dared not speak out.

Upon seeing this, Cao Weicai coldly said to his two bodyguards, "Go, teach them a lesson!"

The two young demon bodyguards were already impatient, cracking their knuckles as they walked toward the thugs with sinister grins.

Without saying a word, he went up and started beating the group of thugs.

Seeing this, Luo Wen looked conflicted and said to Cao Weicai, "Boss, about this matter..."

Cao Weicai raised his hand to interrupt him, saying, "No need to say more. If this matter isn't resolved today, the group's subsequent work can't proceed. If I can't resolve this matter, the big boss above me will take care of it, so there's no need to worry!"

Luo Wen could only shut his mouth after hearing what Cao Weicai said.

These thugs are no match for a beating; a few punches from the young demon slaves and they're rolling on the ground in agony.

Fortunately, Cao Wei didn't let the young demon slaves take their lives, otherwise these thugs would have been dead long ago.

"Enough!" Cao Wei called out to the two young demon slaves, then squatted down and grabbed the thug's hair, saying calmly, "Who told you to come looking for trouble!"

The thug gasped in pain, but gritted his teeth and asked Cao Weicai, "And who are you?"

"I'm the owner here!" Cao Weicai said calmly. "I don't have much patience, so you'd better tell me what I want to hear!"

After nearly dying twice, Cao Weicai's style of doing things has changed somewhat.

Previously, he was a complete Wall Street elite, accustomed to handling things in a "civilized" way.

But it was precisely these two incidents that made him realize the powerlessness of "civilized people".

Therefore, Cao Weicai consciously changed himself at this time, and increasingly moved closer to Chen Jiajun's style of doing things.

Upon hearing Cao Weicai's words, the thug immediately laughed: "Heh, so you're the boss here! You've got guts! Just wait until you're in trouble!"

A petty thug is just a petty thug; he clearly hasn't realized his current predicament.

They even dared to make such a shameless threat.

Cao Weicai was too lazy to waste words with him, so he directly ordered the young demon slave to break one of his legs.

The thug's piercing screams finally made the other thugs realize the reality. Cao Weicai then asked, "Tell me, who are you people, and why are you causing me trouble?"

The thug didn't dare to waste any more words and quickly said, "We are from the Salamanca family. Our boss has his eye on your supply channels and wants to cooperate with you!"

"Supply channels?" Cao Weicai's face immediately darkened, as if he had realized something.

He took a deep breath and coldly said to the thugs, "Get lost! Let someone from your family who can make decisions come and talk to me!"

Upon hearing Cao Weicai's words, the thugs felt as if they had been granted a pardon and ran away as fast as they could.

They didn't even care about the thug on the ground whose leg had been broken.

After chasing the thugs away, Cao Weicai said to Luo Wen, "What do you know about the Salamanca family?"

Rowan shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure either, but judging from their appearance... they seem to be selling laundry detergent! The reason they approached us is because they're interested in our convenience store's distribution channels and want to use them to smuggle laundry detergent for them!"

"I can't afford to mess with these kinds of people. Boss, why don't you call the police and let the DEA handle it? These guys are desperate criminals."

Rowan seemed a little flustered, after all, no normal person would want to get involved with those damned drug lords.

Cao Weicai said speechlessly, "What are you afraid of? I've already taken responsibility for this. Just do your own thing! I'll handle the rest!"

Does Cao Weicai have the ability to take down drug lords?
Of course not, but he believed his boss would take care of it.

After all, he had heard from people at Guojun Security Company that the boss really hated these drug lords.

He personally went to Colombia and killed the drug lord Pablo.

At first, Cao Weicai was also taken aback.

But after seeing so many of my boss's methods, I've become used to this kind of thing.

So after returning to the company, he immediately found Chen Jiajun, who was still on inspection.

Seeing that Cao Weicai seemed to have something to say, Chen Jiajun chuckled and asked, "Have you encountered any danger?"

Cao Weicai nodded, his face somewhat grim, and said, "We miscalculated. We thought that with the protection of the Chinese Youth Gang in New Mexico, we could avoid some unpleasant things, but the drug lords here are even more insane than we imagined."

Chen Jiajun frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"A family called Salamanca approached us, intending to use the supply routes from our convenience stores to smuggle laundry detergent into the United States for them!" Cao Weicai said helplessly. "These people are quite domineering; they threatened our employees and disrupted the operation of the convenience stores!"

"Drug lords?" A cold glint flashed in Chen Jiajun's eyes, and a cruel smile crept onto his lips. "Those laundry detergent sellers again, trying to mess with me?"

Cao Weicai nodded: "I reckon this Salamanca family might have some powerful connections, otherwise they wouldn't be so domineering!"

Chen Jiajun sneered, then said to Doum beside him, "If those guys come looking for us again, Doum, go and kill two of them. I want to see what this Salamanca family is capable of!"

Chen Jiajun felt a physical aversion to these drug dealers.

This aversion deepened, especially after they killed Lin Kun, that damned drug-making expert.

So after sending Doom out, Chen Jiajun also contacted intelligence personnel in the United States to investigate what kind of people the Salamanca family really were.

……

On the other side, in a small hut beside the desert.

A burly man covered in tattoos and with a fierce face is skillfully grilling meat.

The aroma of the roasted meat wafted far and wide, making one's mouth water.

Clearly, this burly man's grilling skills were quite good.

Before him stood several thugs with bruised and swollen faces, kneeling before the man, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Because the guy in front of you has a name: Tuco Salamanca.

The most brutal and brainless member of the entire Salamanca family.

He kills people at the drop of a hat, he's practically a madman, so his men are terrified of him!

After making himself a meat roll and finishing it, Tu Kou said to his subordinates, "So, in other words, they rejected the friendship of our Salamanca family and want us to talk to them in person?"

The younger brother nodded quickly: "That's right!"

"Good, very good!" Tu Kou revealed a ferocious smile: "It's been a long time since I've seen anyone dare to go against our Salamanca family!"

"But you guys just came back like that?" Tu Kou's smile suddenly vanished as he spoke to his underlings.

Several of the henchmen nearly stopped breathing. Only one of them, the bravest of them, quickly said to Tu Kou, "Their bodyguards are very strong; we're no match for them. And they broke Kevin's leg, so..."

Tu Kou kept his eyes fixed on the underling who was speaking, making the underling feel uneasy all over.

This is the method that Tu Kou is best at; according to him, it's a lie detector!
If he believes someone is lying, he will beat them to death.

After staring at his underling for a while, Tu Kou finally snorted and said, "Bring your weapons. I want to see who this guy is, daring to refuse the friendship of our Salamanca family!"

Hearing Tu Kou's words, all the underlings breathed a long sigh of relief.

They quickly prepared weapons to teach these outsiders a lesson.

……

After getting their gear, the group drove directly to Albuquerque.

The 7-Eleven convenience store had already closed down by then, probably anticipating that the Salamanca family would come looking for trouble.

Tu Kou didn't care about any of that and coldly ordered his men, "Blow up this shop!"

The subordinate nodded, picked up the homemade explosives, smashed the convenience store door, and placed the explosives directly in the center of the store. He only pressed the detonation button after leaving the store.

With a loud "boom," the 7-Eleven convenience store was instantly engulfed in flames.

Looking at the convenience store that had been set on fire, Tu Kou smiled happily.

It was as if they had seen something beautiful.

Just then, an unfamiliar voice came over: "I knew you guys would cause trouble, but I didn't expect you to go this far. This is great!"

Tu Kou and his gang of Salamanca's underlings were all startled, and then looked behind them.

Then they saw a burly man leading two people slowly out of the darkness.

The person who came was none other than Doom.

Cao Weicai had long known that since the other party was so domineering, he would not wait until the next day to take revenge.

So they waited here with Doom, and unexpectedly, the other party actually came.

However, Cao Wei remained completely unfazed when he saw Tu Kou blow up the 7-Eleven convenience store.

Because Chen Jiajun wanted to make a big fuss about it so that he could solve the problem once and for all!
So, Tu Kou blowing up the convenience store was exactly what Chen Jiajun wanted.

When Tu Kou saw Cao Weicai and his group approaching, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "You're the owner of this convenience store?"

“That’s right!” Cao Weicai said calmly, “A member of the Salamanca family?”

"You rejected my offer of kindness. No one here can refuse the Salamanca family!" Tu Kou said coldly. "You'll pay the price for doing this. This time it's your shop, next time..."

Before Tu Kou could finish speaking, Cao Wei yawned impatiently and interrupted him: "Enough with the rest of the nonsense. Have your elders come and ransom him!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Kou was taken aback at first, then burst into maniacal laughter: "Hahaha, this is the first time I've ever seen such an interesting guy like you! Don't worry, I'll definitely spare your life later."

Cao Weicai was too lazy to waste words with an idiot like Tu Kou, and said to Doom beside him, "Doom, it's your turn now. I'm going back to sleep for a while."

After saying that, Cao Wei turned around and planned to go to the car to sleep for a while longer.

Seeing that Cao Weicai didn't take him seriously at all, Tu Kou flew into a rage: "You bastard, today I'm going to use my Columbia Tongue Tie on you!"

The Colombian tongue tie is a cruel form of torture, typically used by gangsters.

This form of punishment involves cutting open the victim's throat with a sharp instrument and then pulling out their tongue and tying it into a knot.

That is the origin of the Colombian tongue tie.

But Cao Weicai paused, then said calmly, "I hope you don't wet your pants later!"

Cao Weicai had witnessed firsthand the methods of his boss's bodyguard, Doom; compared to him, these Mexican drug lords were mere bastards. (End of Chapter)
