Chapter 558 Jiang Taigong Fishing, Those Who Are Willing Will Take the Bait

On the other side, Cao Weicai returned after finishing his business and reported back to Chen Jiajun.

With the Salamanca family no longer a threat, 7-Eleven could continue to expand its business.

United Aerospace Capital has no shortage of funds, and 7-Eleven has no shortage of supply channels.

Opening a chain of convenience stores is not a very difficult thing.

"Don't expand too quickly! Remember to proceed cautiously and steadily!" Chen Jiajun casually instructed. "You're not good at this, have you found a professional manager yet?"

Cao Weicai, aware of his own shortcomings, readily agreed, saying, "I understand! We've already found a professional manager, a senior executive from a chain convenience store. I offered a high price to poach him!"

"Okay, then let's do it your way!" Chen Jiajun nodded.

Just then, Chen Jiajun suddenly received a phone call, and upon answering, he immediately heard a familiar voice.

Immediately, Chen Jiajun couldn't help but laugh: "You've already thought it through, Mr. Belfort?"

Jordan Belfort's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yes, sir, I've made up my mind!"

"Then the first installment of funds will be transferred to you soon, but don't forget your promise!" Chen Jiajun said with a light laugh.

Jordan Belfort nodded: "I understand!"

In New York at that moment, Jordan clenched his fist after hanging up the phone.

His eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

He resigned from his job at a securities firm that specializes in pink sheets, preparing to find a place and manpower to make a big splash.

During this time, he had figured out how to repackage the junk stocks he had and sell them to fools who wanted to get rich, and then earn a lot of commissions.

He's a genius at this kind of thing; he could easily go it alone.

If you can earn 100%, who would want to earn 50%?

Moreover, he had already chosen his candidates; although they lacked experience, they were a bunch of greedy bastards.

With these bastards around, he was absolutely certain he could make a name for himself on Wall Street.

As for whether it's illegal? Ha! Who cares!

Just as Jordan was imagining his future life, a fat man wearing glasses walked over.

"Hey buddy, your car's nice, but I feel like I've seen it somewhere before!" The fat man extended his hand in a very familiar manner: "Chenni Azov."

Jordan was somewhat surprised, but still shook hands with him.

After chatting for a while, Chen Ni asked what Jordan did for a living and, quite offensively, inquired about Jordan's salary.

After hearing an outrageous number, Chen Ni immediately decided to resign and work with Jordan.

Jordan initially wanted to refuse, but seeing that the fat man had the same greed as him and the same wolf-like eyes, he immediately agreed.

Jordan Belfort is a complete bastard.

However, that doesn't stop him from being an extremely excellent salesman.

After being laid off from his position as a stock manager on Wall Street, he perfectly demonstrated his abilities in the highly targeted pink sheets market.

Then... he suddenly realized that it wasn't difficult to persuade people to buy his products.

Therefore, he felt that it was better for him to earn the money himself than for someone else to do so.

After gathering his gang of cronies who sold ecstasy, he began his plan.

Moreover, the plan was very successful. Given a little time, he could return to Wall Street with the initial capital.

However, before that, he needed to pass on his prepared script to his subordinates.

Otherwise, if he had to teach them one by one, he would be exhausted.

I have so much time to enjoy myself, how could I possibly waste it on this?

Moreover, with a higher starting point... Chen Jiajun, as an investor, no longer wanted to sell his pink sheets to those poor people.

How much oil can a poor wretch scrape off?
All he has to do is sell the garbage to rich people.

So the first thing to do is to package yourself and your bunch of incompetent subordinates.

So an investment company called "Stratton Oakmont" was founded in a garage in the suburbs of New York.

He then transformed his incompetent subordinates, one by one, into senior vice presidents of Stratton Oakmont.

They began their cunning and ruthless exploitation of Wall Street.

……

"Boss, I must say, the guy you picked is really talented!"

Cao Weicai, holding a report, said "Oh" to Chen Jiajun.

With the new CEO of 7-Eleven in office, Cao Weicai can now focus on helping Chen Jiajun continue his endeavors.

Chen Jiajun is absolutely right. He's not cut out for real business, and I doubt there are many industrialists like him on Wall Street.

But when it comes to causing trouble, he's absolutely top-notch.

Chen Jiajun glanced at the report, smiled, shook his head, and said, "It was just a casual investment. I found this kid quite interesting!"

Cao Weicai clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "In just two months, he has made such a big name for himself, and his methods... it wouldn't be wrong to say he's robbing the rich to help the poor!"

Chen Jiajun scoffed and said, "You really overestimate this bastard. Robin Hood is true, but helping the poor is complete nonsense! He's just like everyone on Wall Street, a heartless bastard!"

Cao Weicai was speechless for a moment and said, "Boss, you can curse, but why are you making sweeping generalizations?"

"You idiot, you think you're not?" Chen Jiajun said irritably.

Cao Weicai curled his lip and said, "Then you're a skinning capitalist!"

"Fuck you..." Chen Jiajun opened his mouth, but couldn't find a way to refute it.

After all, given what he did in America, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give him a rope and a street lamp.

So Chen Jiajun coughed twice and changed the subject, saying, "How's your preparation going?"

"Your attempt to change the subject was so clumsy!" Cao Weicai complained, then said to Chen Jiajun, "You've had the information from Shenzhou Technology in Longkou sent over, and I've already spread the word. We should have results soon! It's a pity Shenzhou Technology isn't listed on NASDAQ, otherwise, the effect would be even better!"

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "Shenzhou Technology will never be listed on NASDAQ. Real industry and playing the financial game are completely different."

Cao Weicai nodded thoughtfully, then said, "Many people have called to ask me about Shenzhou Technology. Should we take action now?"

Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "No rush, let's stall them for a while longer! We need to make our move when they're itching for something and blinded by greed!"

"I dare not underestimate these shrewd people. If they discover the trickery ahead of time, my grand show will have to be ruined! This is one of the few projects where I can openly and legitimately swindle money!"

Cao Weicai said with some confusion, "But boss, I don't understand why we didn't put it in our San Francisco headquarters, but instead went to New York?"

Chen Jiajun said irritably, "Are you stupid? Shenzhou Technology's Shenzhou Tong technology isn't that advanced. If it were located at the San Francisco headquarters, and they got Shenzhou Technology's technology, they could just go to Stanford University and I'd be out of the game."

"But...they'll investigate too, won't they?" Cao Wei asked uncertainly.

Chen Jiajun smiled slightly and said, "So, I want to make my move after they've been blinded by greed!"

Cao Weicai pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "You want to exploit an information gap?"

“That’s right, and based on my understanding of those people on Wall Street, they don’t care about any of that bullshit technology; they just want to see money!” Chen Jiajun said mockingly. “As long as they see money, nothing else matters!”

Cao Weicai immediately laughed: "Boss, you really know Wall Street!"

Chen Jiajun's plan is proceeding in full swing.

However, United Aerospace Capital has once again made its presence felt in the investment world.

Since Yahu went public, its stock price has been rising day by day.

It became even more outrageous after acquiring two future key figures for Google.

Anyway, people in the investment circle are saying that United Aerospace Capital has already made a fortune just from its stake in Yahu. Even though its subsequent ventures with Netflix and 7-Eleven didn't make much of a name for itself, they were still considered decent.

This is very common on Wall Street.

After all, there aren't that many blockbuster companies in the world for them to gamble on.

Even those with some potential were targeted by those behemoths early on, leaving no room for anyone else.

But this time, United Aerospace Capital has once again made a move, investing in a technology company across the Pacific.

This is somewhat puzzling.

Even those with envious eyes mocked behind their backs, saying, "What kind of technological products could that country across the Pacific possibly have?"

But despite the mockery, these people gradually realized that something was amiss.

According to the financial report released by United Aerospace Capital, this small company called Shenzhou Technology is actually a dark horse!
In the few months since Shenzhou Tong was launched, its monthly net profit has reached around 40 million US dollars.

This is a considerable profit for any company.

However, some people soon suspected that the financial report was fabricated.

The goal is to boost the company's stock price before it goes public.

Some investment institutions were even persistent and sent people to the other side of the Pacific to investigate Digital China Technology Co., Ltd.

But the results of the investigation were hard for them to believe.

Because Digital China Technology Co., Ltd. has no intention of listing on NASDAQ.

Moreover, all of Digital China's financial statements were actually true.

This news caused an uproar on Wall Street!
It's worth noting that United Aerospace Capital, backed by Silicon Valley and Stanford University, undoubtedly possesses a unique perspective in the technology field.

But why does the New York branch have this kind of strength?

It's important to understand that Shenzhou Technology's potential hasn't been fully realized yet. Just relying on the mainland China and Hong Kong markets, the net profit is already staggering. If we were to expand into the Americas and Europe...

Thinking about this, many people became eager to try it.

This news even caught the attention of Giannini, the chairman of the California consortium.

After learning that Chen Jiajun had come to America, Chiannini invited Chen Jiajun and Cao Weicai to his White Palace as guests.

After playing two rounds of golf at the old man's estate, Chiannini brought up the matter of Shenzhou Technology.

"I heard you invested in an Asian tech company, and I heard it's doing quite well?" Chiannini asked bluntly, without beating around the bush.

Chen Jiajun immediately laughed: "Haha, I didn't expect the Chairman to have heard about it. It seems that my work has not been in vain."

Chiannini, a seasoned and shrewd man, immediately showed a hint of surprise in his eyes and said, "The financial statements are fake? But how did you manage to fool those bloodsuckers on Wall Street?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "The financial report wasn't falsified, but... it's a trap, a trap I used to swindle people!"

Chiannini immediately became interested: "Tell me, what are you planning to do?"

Chen Jiajun had no reason to hide it from the old man, after all, the old man had already recommended United Aerospace Capital's entry into the California consortium, so it could be said that the two were in the same boat.

So Chen Jiajun revealed the whole plan.

After hearing Chen Jiajun's plan, Chiannini looked at Chen Jiajun with a strange expression: "You don't have Jewish blood in your family?"

"A true Chinese!" Chen Jiajun shook his head firmly.

Chen Jiajun was somewhat displeased; it sounded like the old man was cursing him.

"Wow, that's ruthless! And no one can come after you for it!" Chiannini exclaimed.

"To paraphrase a Chinese proverb, it's like 'Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait,'" Chen Jiajun said with a smile. "That's precisely why I'm confident in taking action! I'm telling you, I don't want to accidentally hurt 'my own' people while I'm doing this!"

Chiannini immediately understood that Chen Jiajun hadn't come to discuss cooperation, but rather to warn the California consortium.

So Chiannini said with great satisfaction, "I think those tempted bastards will owe you a favor! But how much money will you make doing this? That must have taken quite a bit of effort, right?"

Chen Jiajun said with a wicked grin, "It's a trade secret! But I mainly want to vent my anger. United Aerospace Capital has suffered a lot of suppression from those bastards on Wall Street."

Chiannini nodded: "In that case, I'll go and inform the others in the conglomerate, and tell them not to get involved in this mess!"

Then, Chiannini casually asked Chen Jiajun, "Are you interested in shares of Bank of America?"

Upon hearing Chiannini's words, Chen Jiajun's eyes lit up.

The fact that the old man was willing to sell his shares in Bank of America meant that United Space Capital had officially become part of the California consortium, which was a huge boon for Chen Jiajun.

Today's United Aerospace Capital is naturally incomparable to these established American capitalists.

Whether it's funding, industry chain coverage, or personal connections, they are all lacking.

However, the California consortium actually has no shortage of these things.

After all, the California consortium has very high entry requirements, and many companies have tried their best to get in, but have been turned away.

After all, what the California consortium is lacking now is the support of those vibrant emerging industries.

That's why we investigated United Aerospace Capital.

And the development of United Aerospace Capital did not disappoint Chiannini, the chairman of the California consortium.

This was even beyond his expectations, which is why he represented the California consortium in bringing in United Aerospace Capital.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Of course I'm interested!"

Chiannini nodded: "How about this, we exchange one percent of Bank of America's shares for ten percent of United Space Capital's shares? What do you think?"

"Sure!" Chen Jiajun agreed without hesitation.

Keep in mind that Bank of America's assets are more than ten times that of United Space Capital. This is practically giving them money to spend!

Chiannini was pleased with Chen Jiajun's tact and understanding, so he extended his hand to Chen Jiajun and said, "Welcome to the California Consortium!"

“It’s my honor!” Chen Jiajun shook hands with Chiannini.

By joining the California consortium, Chen Jiajun's businesses in the United States would have a protective umbrella.

There's no need to act like you're always ready to fight someone anymore; Chen Jiajun understands the rules of the game very well.

Of course, he also understood that joining the California consortium was the limit of what he could achieve.

As for wanting to go further, don't even think about it.

Unless he can give up Huaxia International and completely become a "honorary American," then it's more likely.

Chen Jiajun has no interest in being someone's dog.

Moreover, knowing that there will be fierce conflicts between China and the United States in the future, is it really necessary to bet everything on the United States?
Chiannini smiled and said to Chen Jiajun, "There's a banquet here tomorrow. You and Cao Weicai, remember to attend on time."

"I understand, then I won't disturb your rest any longer!" Chen Jiajun smiled and got up to take his leave.

After the two walked out of the white palace, Cao Wei couldn't help but say, "Boss, are we officially joined now? Why does it feel a little unreal?"

As a Chinese person who has lived in the United States for so long, Cao Weicai knows how xenophobic this seemingly enlightened country actually is.

He now officially became a member of the conglomerate, which felt like a dream come true.

Chen Jiajun, however, calmly said, "Don't get so excited. Right now, we're just of use to you. It's all within expectations."

Seeing Chen Jiajun's expression, Cao Weicai's initial excitement immediately subsided.

He took a deep breath and said, "That's right, we are of use! But you're so calm, boss!"

Chen Jiajun chuckled and said, "No matter where you are, you need to find a protective umbrella for yourself when doing business. This is just an exchange of benefits, nothing special."

Cao Weicai nodded, understanding the meaning behind Chen Ju's words. (End of Chapter)
