Chapter 101: Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

Caipo, who had been hired to clean and cook, held a sack and said, "Boss Chen, this is the dried fish I sun-dried last year. You have so many people to feed, you must be short on food. You must accept this."

"Caipo, it's too precious! From now on, we are all one family; you don't need to be so formal with me."

Chen Jiajun hurriedly declined. At this moment, his heart was not filled with excitement or pride, but rather a sense of heaviness.

Although these things were not worth much, they were the most generous gifts the indigenous people could offer!

Chen Jiajun looked at the young man beside Caipo and asked, "Caipo, is there something on your mind?"

Caipo's eyes turned red. "Boss Chen, my husband went out to sea last year and never came back.

I am old now, and I can't let go of my son. He doesn't learn anything good; he follows others into gangs, showing off his strength and fighting with blades!

I was thinking, I want to find him a job. He works very hard and has even been to school. A Qiang, what are you still standing there for? Hurry and greet Boss Chen."

As she spoke, Caipo pushed the young man beside her forward. Although the young man's clothes were simple, he had a sturdy build, yet he kept his head lowered when facing Chen Jiajun.

"What is your name?" Chen Jiajun looked at him.

The young man raised his head and said, "My name is Lu Jinqiang."

The future Four Heavenly Kings of the New Territories—Lu Jinqiang?

Chen Jiajun recognized his identity and immediately asked, "Then do you know what I do?"

A glimmer of spirit appeared in Lu Jinqiang's eyes: "I know!"

Clearly, he had recognized Chen Jiajun's true identity.

"Can you drive?" Chen Jiajun asked immediately after.

Lu Jinqiang nodded: "I can!"

Chen Jiajun patted his shoulder and said, "Come drive for me. Follow me first, and I'll give you 2,000 dollars a month."

Lu Jinqiang was stunned; he was actually going to drive for the Hongxing Dragon Head!

Holy crap!

With a job like this, who would even care about the salary!

Lu Jinqiang was so excited he became incoherent: "Re, really?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Chen Jiajun said with a smile. He was currently short of manpower.

Lu Jinqiang immediately bent his waist and bowed: "Yes! Ada!"

"Still learning to call people Ada, he is Boss Chen!" Caipo immediately reached out and grabbed Lu Jinqiang's ear: "Boss Chen, don't blame him. He has no sense of propriety, but his heart is very kind."

"Mom, I was wrong."

Lu Jinqiang also knew that he could not reveal Chen Jiajun's true identity.

Not far away.

Lu Hantao and Lu Huangfa were both in high spirits as they accepted interviews from several television stations, including TVB and Rediffusion Television. Halfway through the interview, Lu Huangfa immediately called out: "A Jun! Come here, come here, the TV reporter wants to interview you."

Chen Jiajun hurriedly walked over, and Lu Huangfa introduced him grandly: "This is the Chairman of Guojun Technology—Mr. Chen Jiajun!"

The identity presented to the media and the public for the first time was very important; many people would have preconceived notions.

Chen Jiajun wore a warm smile and reached out to the good-looking reporter in front of him: "Hello, call me Chen Jiajun."

"Mr. Chen, I am Le Huizhen, a reporter from Rediffusion Television. Could I take a few minutes of your time to ask you a few questions?"

Le Huizhen was completely caught off guard when she saw Chen Jiajun; after all, he was so dazzling and so young.

Chen Jiajun showed a confident smile, not at all stage-frightened: "Of course."

……

Decorations were hung, dragon and lion dances were performed, and firecrackers blared in unison.

Facing the cameras, Chen Jiajun, Lu Hantao, Lu Huangfa, and others smiled, then cut the ribbon together.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Chen Jiajun picked up a brush to dot the eyes of the lion, and presented a red envelope.

Then, everyone paid respects to Guan Erye together, and Chen Jiajun invited Lu Hantao and Lu Huangfa to come over and cut the roasted pig.

Cutting the roasted pig also signified that today's luncheon had officially begun.

Lu Huangfa introduced some officials and legislators from the New Territories to Chen Jiajun one by one, and Chen Jiajun filled his glass every time he toasted.

After toasting many times, he was pulled aside by Lu Hantao.

"Back in the day, Tuen Mun was just a small fishing village. In the blink of an eye, there are factories now. A Jun, you have done a solid, good deed for Tuen Mun!"

The few of them walked and chatted, soon reaching a quiet corner.

Lu Hantao looked at the lively scene at Guojun Technology and said with great emotion: "The soil can produce white jade, and the land can grow gold, but these are all one-off deals."

He was right. Although land appreciation could bring wealth, the benefits a factory could bring were immeasurable compared to land appreciation.

A region must have pillar industries.

Chen Jiajun had experienced this in his past life, and the vision of people like Lu Hantao and Lu Huangfa was also very farsighted.

After sighing with emotion, Lu Hantao leaned on his cane and asked: "A Jun, I heard that you are the one calling the shots in Hongxing now?"

"That's right," Chen Jiajun replied.

Lu Hantao nodded and said: "I don't have much contact with Jiang Tiansheng, but I know he won't let you off easily. Be careful lately."

Beside them, Lu Yongyu was startled; she was worried about the safety of Brother Jun.

Fortunately, Lu Hantao continued: "But don't worry, he can't get a foothold in Tuen Mun. If he really wants to do something to you, we in Tuen Mun and the New Territories won't agree to it."

As the top leader of the New Territories, he could naturally see that this Guojun Technology could not function without Chen Jiajun.

People like Ao En were all loyal to Chen Jiajun.

Having finally brought such a factory to Tuen Mun, he did not want anyone to ruin this great situation.

Employment!

Revenue!

In the New Territories, this is the hard truth!

Even if the King of Heaven himself came down, if anyone wanted to mess with Chen Jiajun on this patch of land in the New Territories, Lu Hantao would not allow it!

"Thank you, Uncle Tao, Uncle Fa!" Chen Jiajun said immediately and obediently.

"When are you planning to go to Fanling to hold the Promotion Ceremony?" Hantao asked right after.

In Hong Kong, a Dragon Head ascending to the position basically has to hold the ceremony at the Fanling Sansheng Palace in the New Territories.

If you want to hold the ceremony comfortably, you must deal with the Uncles of the New Territories.

The Uncles have their own channels and methods to ensure your ceremony proceeds smoothly.

For instance, find an excuse and say it is a folk celebration ceremony.

Even if the Royal Hong Kong Police come over and the Anti-Triad Unit is present, they will be helpless and can only obediently help you maintain order at the scene.

If you don't greet the Uncles of the New Territories and they don't come to attend, your ceremony will lack prestige.

Chen Jiajun took a deep breath and said, "Let me finish the matters at hand first; I will definitely trouble the two of you when the time comes."

"Fine, pick an auspicious day."

Lu Hantao nodded.

Jiang Tiansheng's villa.

Jiang Tiansheng was watching Chen Jiajun, who was high-spirited, accepting an interview on the news.

"Our Guojun Technology is a high-tech industry; currently, we have provided over two thousand jobs in the Tuen Mun area, and we will provide more in the future."

"As a company with a sense of responsibility, we hope to exert our due value in Hong Kong's electronics industry."

"......"

Over two thousand jobs? What a braggart!

Jiang Tiansheng laughed.

In his view, if Chen Jiajun really provided that many jobs, then the technology company was highly likely a front, and the ice factory hidden behind it was the real means of making money.

It wasn't that he, Jiang Tiansheng, looked down on Chen Jiajun, but he truly could not believe that someone from a street thug background could run any kind of high-tech industry.

Moreover, he was also mixed up with Jing Kun, who dealt in drugs.
