Chapter 124: Inauguration at Sansheng Palace

For Shanjie, there was indeed a grudge against Chen Jiajun before; that was a grudge formed for the sake of supporting his own Big Brother, Chen Haonan.

Once Anan Ge, always Anan Ge.

For the sake of Chen Haonan's rise, he could pick up a Machete; let alone a gang boss, he would even dare to storm the Government House.

Yet Chen Haonan died on this path, and he also lost his goal.

Therefore, his gaze was very lost.

Just at this moment, another motorcade composed of Mercedes-Benzes drove over, but the license plate numbers were somewhat unfamiliar.

Just as everyone was curious about who it was.

A burly man chewing betel nut and wearing a black suit got out of the car, pulled open the rear passenger door, and an elderly man with a dignified expression stepped out.

Although his hair was already gray, his body was still healthy and his gaze sharp.

The Majai by his side were all strong and sturdy, with extraordinary presence.

This person was none other than the giant crocodile of the Taiwan underworld, Lei Gong of the Sanlian Gang!

A fierce dragon does not cross the river!

The status of the Sanlian Gang in Taiwan was the third largest gang, behind only the Four Seas and Bamboo Union!

Chen Jiajun walked toward him with a smile and said, "Mr. Lei, welcome to Hong Kong as a guest."

"Mr. Chen, seeing you all, I truly feel that I am old."

Seeing Chen Jiajun, Lei Gong was immediately surprised by his youth.

"I had met Mr. Jiang a few times several years ago; I did not expect that when I heard his name again, he had already passed away. Man proposes, God disposes."

Lei Gong said, shaking his head: "By the way, where is his grave? When I have time, I will go pay my respects."

"Mr. Lei, you are very kind." Chen Jiajun maintained his smile throughout.

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind Chen Jiajun: "Cousin?"

"Shanjie?" The burly man chewing betel nut beside Lei Gong also shouted in surprise.

"Cousin, why did you come to Hong Kong?"

"I came to attend the Hongxing Shouzhi Ceremony. Damn! You are wearing a red flower on your chest; today, could it be that you are..."

"I am the Chai Wan Zha FIT Ren of Hongxing."

Shanjie and Lei Gong's driver, Xiao Hei, were cousins; in this kind of setting, neither of them expected to reunite.

"Shanjie, this is Mr. Lei of the Sanlian Gang. Mr. Lei, this is our Hongxing Chai Wan Zha FIT Ren, Shanjie."

Chen Jiajun introduced them.

"Xiao Hei, how do you two know each other?" Lei Gong was also somewhat surprised.

Xiao Hei immediately said, "Boss, he is my cousin."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that our Sanlian Gang and Hongxing had such a connection." Lei Gong let out a hearty laugh.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Mr. Lei, come, please follow me, let's have some tea together."

The group chatted as they walked, arriving at the backyard of Sansheng Palace. At this time, it was already filled with underworld figures who had come to observe the ceremony, and the vast majority of Hongxing's Zha FIT Ren were there hosting.

Among them were:

Wo Shing Shing's four-generation Elder Zhuo Yunbiao "Shen Ye", sitting-in-charge Baitoulao, Zha FIT Ren Gaolao Zhong, Huoshi...

Tung Sing Dragon Head Luotuo, Elder Baitouweng, and the Tung Sing Five Tigers.

Wo Luen Shing sitting-in-charge Chuiji, Elders Deng Bo and Chuan Bao, Zha FIT Ren Lin Huaile, Da D...

Sun Yee On Dragon Head Si Yanlong, Chief Instructor Su Shilong, Sun Yee On's Five Tigers "Axe-man" Jun, Chen Yaoxing...

Number Gang's Hong Hanyi, Huxu Yong, Haojiang Jieshi Wei, Mo Dingping, Bengyaju...

Wo On Lok sitting-in-charge Lao Jin...

The Luen-faction...

Under Baohua's introduction, Chen Jiajun stepped forward to shake hands with these society Dragon Heads one by one.

Normally, a society Dragon Head's inauguration would not have so many people observing, but Hongxing's current strength was only slightly lower than Sun Yee On and the Number Gang, and they had recently become red-hot in Hong Kong and Macau.

Therefore, most societies and factions had come.

"Mr. Chen, Wo Shing Shing congratulates you on your promotion." Wo Shing Shing Elder Shen Ye, wearing a traditional Chinese outfit, cupped his hands toward Chen Jiajun.

The history of the Wo-faction was even longer than the history of Hong Kong; Wo Shing Shing, Wo Luen Shing, and Wo On Lok were the pillars of the Wo-faction.

"Shen Ye, even you have come to attend; Hongxing is truly honored." Chen Jiajun shook his hand.

After shaking hands with Shen Ye, Chen Jiajun turned to look at Hong Lok's Baye, smiling brightly: "Baye."

"Mr. Chen."

The people of Hong Lok stood up one after another; this battle with Hongxing had truly beaten Hong Lok into submission.

"A Jun!"

"Mr. Chen!"

"..."

People were constantly greeting him in the venue, and Chen Jiajun was too busy to keep up.

"Ada! Ada! A call from HSBC Bank manager Shen Bi!"

At this moment, Xing Shu appeared in time, his voice very loud; all the underworld figures in the backyard heard it, and the venue suddenly fell silent.

Everyone was dumbfounded; HSBC Bank manager Shen Bi, that was a truly big figure in Hong Kong... calling the Hongxing Dragon Head?

Hongxing's Zha FIT Ren and Red Poles quietly straightened their backs, feeling immensely proud.

This is the Dragon Head of Hongxing!

Following Ada, there is a future!

"What is the matter? Do not panic." Chen Jiajun chuckled.

"HSBC Chairman Shen Bi says that Bao Jueshi and Jardine Chairman Niubijian both want to invite you to discuss the matter of the stocks."

Xing Shu, who was over fifty, had a glowing face, and his voice was three parts louder than before.

"Excuse me, everyone! I need to take a call."

Chen Jiajun wore an apologetic expression as he took the mobile phone and walked outside.

Meanwhile, the various underworld bigwigs watched his retreating back with complex expressions.

The richest man, Bao Jueshi... Jardine Chairman Niubijian... HSBC Chairman Shen Bi... and stocks...

Could it be, could it be that the Dragon Head of Hongxing Society has already ascended to the core circle of Hong Kong's highest echelon?

Kowloon Wharf was established in 1886; initially, its business was limited to warehouse operations, and it enclosed a large piece of land in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Later, Kowloon Wharf was acquired by Jardine Matheson and became a wing of Jardine alongside Land Group.

In the early seventies, the entire Jardine group entered a rhythm of large-scale expansion; Kowloon Wharf issued a large number of new shares for multiple acquisition projects, causing Land Group's equity in Kowloon Wharf to drop to only 10%.

At this time, the stock price of Kowloon Wharf was only 12-13 dollars.

At that time, the Shipping Magnate Bao Jueshi had the idea of landing, so he made Kowloon Wharf the target of his acquisition.

Bao Jueshi first purchased the Kowloon Wharf equity owned by Li Chaoren, and then aggressively absorbed Kowloon Wharf shares on the market.

A year ago, Bao Jueshi owned 15% to 20% of Kowloon Wharf's equity; Land Group saw that this wouldn't do and acquired all the Kowloon Wharf shares held by a securities firm, bringing Land Group's equity in Kowloon Wharf to nearly 20%, a ratio similar to that held by Bao Jueshi.

After Bao Jueshi entered the board of directors of Kowloon Wharf, the series of development plans he proposed were all blocked by the board one by one, and the relationship between the two sides had been very tense since last year.

Ultimately, one mountain cannot contain two tigers.

Last month, the equity war between Jardine and Kowloon Wharf once again raised its curtain.

And the Land Group under the Jardine umbrella, taking advantage of Bao Jueshi's visit abroad, announced a plan to increase its purchase of Kowloon Wharf.

They publicly announced a buyback of Kowloon Wharf shares, increasing their stake from 20% to 49%.

Upon hearing this, Bao Jueshi immediately canceled his appointment with a certain country's president and returned to Hong Kong from abroad immediately to launch this stock war.

Originally, Wardley Company was not allowed to sell client information, but unfortunately, Shen Bi had a deep relationship with Bao Jueshi; Bao Jueshi only needed to check a little to know the giant crocodile hidden behind the scenes—Chen Jiajun.

The Jardine side, which has great influence in Hong Kong, also learned of Chen Jiajun's existence yesterday.

At this moment, whether for the Jardine group or Bao Jueshi, the 23.5 million shares held by Chen Jiajun were extremely important; whoever could get these 23.5 million shares would be the Headman of Kowloon Wharf.

Therefore, both sides hoped that Shen Bi would invite Chen Jiajun out, even going so far as to block the door of Shen Bi's office at HSBC.

Because Chen Jiajun could sway the final ownership of Kowloon Wharf!

At this moment, Shen Bi couldn't help but marvel at Chen Jiajun's good luck and precise vision; 23.5 million shares, the acquisition cost at the time was only 25 dollars, and now they are 100 dollars a share—if sold, he would be a billionaire with a net worth of over two billion!

"Hello, I am Chen Jiajun."

Chen Jiajun picked up the mobile phone and coughed, stating his identity.

"Mr. Chen, I am Shen Bi. Both the Jardine group and Bao Jueshi want to acquire the stocks in your hands. I wonder if you have time to come to HSBC this afternoon?"

"Mr. Shen, I apologize. I am currently at Fanling Sansheng Palace. I'm afraid I won't have time for the next two days. Could you ask them to wait a while?"

Wait a while?

Shen Bi was speechless. He said, "Mr. Chen, may I ask what you are busy with?"

"Mr. Shen, you also know that I am from Hongxing Society. Today, our Hongxing is holding a Promotion Ceremony at Sansheng Palace, and as the Chairman, I cannot leave." Chen Jiajun spoke the truth and did not want to give face to the Jardine group or Bao Jueshi.

Xing Shu was listening from the side, terrified. Ada is truly Babi; he actually doesn't give face to Jardine Chairman Niubijian, Bao Jueshi, or HSBC Chairman Shen Bi!

One must know that these three people are rare, super-big figures in Hong Kong; if they stomp their feet, the entire Hong Kong would have an earthquake.

Hanging up the phone, Shen Bi looked at Bao Jueshi and Niubijian: "Mr. Chen says he is holding some ceremony at Sansheng Palace. He asks if he can invite you when he is free?"

The two men didn't say a word and immediately turned their heads to walk outside.

"Wait! I'll go with you." Shen Bi also stood up immediately.

Bao Jueshi didn't have time to pay attention to Shen Bi; he took long strides and said to his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng, "Tell the driver to drive to Sansheng Palace immediately."

Niubijian also walked while speaking with an urgent tone: "Let's go! Go to Fanling Sansheng Palace."
