Chapter 143: Harmony is Precious!

2:00 AM, Yulongxuan.

At this time, Ge Zixiong, Chen Qinghua, and Xiao Jingzhao were seated, along with the scattered soldiers of the Daquan Gang.

Standing at the entrance were several rows of menacing demon-spawn slaves.

Just then, a Mercedes-Benz pulled up.

Someone went up to open the car door.

Then, the demon-spawn slaves all shouted in unison:

"Big Brother!"

The brothers, who had been unruly and fierce just a moment ago, immediately became incredibly well-behaved when the Big Brother's gaze swept over them.

Chen Jiajun nodded at his brothers in response.

As he stepped into Yulongxuan, he could feel the hearts of every person in the Macau underworld tremble.

Everyone looked at this handsome, refined young man, who radiated the aura of a mature man and carried the hallmarks of high society throughout his entire being.

They secretly lamented in their hearts.

They hadn't expected Dalao Jun to be so handsome, yet his methods were so devoid of humanity.

Even the gods of slaughter from ancient times could be no more than this, right?

Arriving at the main table, Chen Jiajun opened a bottle of Moutai, filled his own glass with the white spirit, and then raised it, saying: "Brothers who make money in Macau, although we belong to different factions, we see each other constantly, and I know I went a bit too far tonight, Chen Jiajun."

"I toast everyone with this glass."

The Dragon Head of the Wo Shing Wo, Ge Zixiong, also stood up and said: "You're too polite. You showed mercy tonight. Come, let's not damage our harmony."

Xiao Jingzhao said with deep emotion: "Mr. Chen, you should have told me or Feizai Kun that day. You wouldn't even have needed to take action yourself; we would have cleaned up our own houses."

"Underworld matters are settled by the underworld. Since it involved Mr. He, even if you had hacked them all to death, I, Feizai Kun, would still think you did well!" Feizai Kun raised his glass.

These underworld figures hurriedly stood up.

"Cheers! What's in the past is in the past. Come, everyone, together!"

After Chen Jiajun finished speaking, he drank first as a sign of respect, tilted his head back, downed the white spirit in his glass in one go, and then turned the glass upside down.

"Cheers!"

A joyous sound erupted in Yulongxuan as everyone finished the white spirit in their glasses.

The underworld is just like this.

When Chen Jiajun first came to Macau, no one would help him; they only knew a "dragon crossing the river" had arrived, and everyone was watching to see how far this dragon could go.

At that time, he was lonely as a challenger.

Now, Chen Jiajun had completely taken control of the Lisboa Casino, and these underworld figures would become his allies overnight, eager to become his sworn brothers.

"Clatter."

After Chen Jiajun and Ge Zixiong sat down, everyone else sat down one after another, but no one dared to pick up their chopsticks.

After all, Chen Jiajun was crazy.

Many of them had been present last time.

Shi Qiliang, the head of Sheng Yi Hall, didn't eat and was finished off by Chen Jiajun.

Jiuzhi Hua, a fierce man of the Wo Shing Wo, was eating and was also finished off by Chen Jiajun.

Seeing the looks in everyone's eyes, Chen Jiajun revealed a warm smile and said: "Everyone, don't be so formal. Before, it was to establish my authority."

"It's better now; some troublemakers have been finished off by me, and there is peace under heaven."

"How about this, I'll say a few words before we eat."

"From now on, when everyone opens underground gambling dens in Macau, greet me first. I am a shareholder of Aoyu Group, and I should naturally protect the interests of Aoyu Group, so I only want twenty percent from everyone's underground gambling dens."

"Additionally, Aoyu Group hopes that everyone can be as quiet as possible in Macau. If there is truly an irreconcilable grudge, then find a quiet place to hack each other; don't learn from me and mess around on the main streets."

"From now on, our Hung Hing will participate in the public security management of the city of Macau."

"Let's all value harmony above all else!"

"Well said! Only when Macau is harmonious and stable can everyone make big money."

"From now on, whoever doesn't give Dalao Jun face doesn't give me face!"

"Good! Well said! Let's all make money together!"

The scattered soldiers and leaders of the Daquan Gang in Yulongxuan responded enthusiastically one after another.

As a city whose nature was not much different from Hong Kong, Macau's treatment under England and Puguo was completely different.

In the 1960s, a fierce mass movement once broke out in Macau; this movement made the Governor's Palace bow its head to the citizens and also caused the Governor's Palace to completely lose its prestige in Macau.

At that time.

Among the people of Macau, ten thousand strings of firecrackers were burned during the day to celebrate, and lights were lit at night with guards protecting them, showing the magnitude of the momentum.

Leftist figures even built a three-story-high archway across the street, facing the City Hall head-on.

Facing the powerful masses, the Governor's Palace had no choice but to compensate the citizens for their losses. From then on, the Governor's Palace existed in name only, and the forces of the leftists effectively controlled Macau.

In the 1970s, some movements occurred in the homeland of Puguo, and the newly ascended government openly acknowledged that Macau was Huaxia territory, also expressing support for this claim with actual actions.

Since then, the Puguo people had little interest in Macau; even the Governor's Palace was not very interested in Macau, and this lack of interest, to a certain extent, led to the emergence of various chaotic phenomena in the city of Macau.

In Hong Kong, Chen Jiajun naturally wouldn't dare to play so big.

But in Macau, due to the backing of forces like Aoyu Group, He Xin, and Chen Yingnan, he broke through with force—one force overcoming ten techniques!

In this battle, Hung Hing could be said to have completely beaten the Wo Shing Wo and the Daquan Gang into submission in Macau; Chen Jiajun effectively controlled the prosperous areas surrounding Aoyu Group and simultaneously gained the title of Underground Emperor of Macau.

From then on, in the gambling industry of the city of Macau, Aoyu Group held the first chair, and Chen Jiajun held the second chair.

Because of Chen Jiajun's youth, the entertainment tabloids in Hong Kong dubbed Chen Jiajun with the title of Little Gambling King.

Of course, this battle also made Macau the safest city in the world, bar none, and launched the brilliance of Macau for decades to come!

After having a late-night snack with the underworld bigwigs of Macau and setting some ground rules, Chen Jiajun returned to the presidential suite of the Lisboa Hotel, where Xing Shu summarized the battle report from tonight:

"Ada, tonight our Hung Hing side lost 10 brothers, and 20 were injured. The 14K side lost a full 300 men, and Meitou's group was also uprooted by us."

"Distribute the consolation money immediately. By the way, how much money do we have in the company account?"

Being a Dragon Head is hard, truly hard.

Being a low-level member only requires enjoying vengeance and gratitude, but being a Big Brother requires looking ahead and behind.

He wiped his face and immediately began giving orders.

"336 million. It isn't time to hand over the regular fees for this month yet. This three hundred million-plus is still what you, Ada, earned from Kowloon Wharf," Xing Shu replied.

"Take out 100 million. Lao E, you and Wili, this 100 million is handed to you. Tomorrow, first take 10 million of it to grease the palms of the people at the Governor's Office, make tonight's matter vanish into thin air, and try to keep it out of the newspapers."

"Use the remaining 90 million to set up a fund, and use it all to grease the palms of the officials at the Governor's Office."

Chen Jiajun wiped his face with a hot towel, lit a cigar, pondered for a moment, and said to Xing Shu and Lao E.

Xing Shu's son had now officially joined Hung Hing and become Chen Jiajun's protégé; Chen Jiajun intended to have Wili assist Lao E in Macau in the future.

"Ada, hasn't Aomen Entertainment already handled this matter? Why do we still need to take out so much money to grease palms?"

Xing Shu suddenly felt a pang of heartache; one had to know this was 100 million!

Wili, who was to the side, also reminded him: "Boss!"

Because he was a generation younger than his father Xing Shu, he called Chen Jiajun "Boss."

"Do you know why the 14K's influence in the Lisboa Casino was uprooted by us?"

Chen Jiajun took out a cigar and lit it, speaking in a leisurely manner; he was prepared to give the Hung Hing Big Dippers a good lesson.

Without waiting for them to answer, Chen Jiajun answered his own question:

"The reason is that the 14K has no real relationship with the Governor's Office."

"Don't look at how we have a good relationship with Aomen Entertainment now and think we can do whatever we want in Macau in the future."

"I am only a small shareholder in Aomen Entertainment right now. Once I touch Aomen Entertainment's core interests, He Xin will still kick me out without hesitation and support someone else."

"When we are out on the streets, we must never be a chamber pot."

"When you want to pee in the middle of the night, you really need a chamber pot. People who do politics have the same view of societies; once the world is at peace, they feel this chamber pot is smelly and dirty, and they can't wait to kick it away. We cannot be this chamber pot anymore, so we must change from passive to active."

"After greasing the palms of the people at the Governor's Office, our Hung Hing must also participate in the management of this city. We must make the citizens of Macau unable to do without Hung Hing, so that our Hung Hing can last longer. Do you understand?"

Chen Jiajun's simple analogy made everyone understand the reason why he wanted to spend this 100 million. After understanding, the group admired their Big Brother even more, to the point of prostrating themselves!

Following the Big Brother is no problem! There is food to eat!

The next day.

Aomen Entertainment held a shareholders and executives meeting.

At this moment, sitting on the stage were He Xin, Shi Guniang, Ye Deli, and Chen Yingnan, whom Chen Jiajun had long admired!

Although the big bosses were sitting on the stage, the executives below the stage looked from time to time at Chen Jiajun, who was sitting below.

"Everyone, the main purpose of calling this meeting today is to introduce our new shareholder, Mr. Chen Jiajun, to everyone," the Aomen Entertainment Board Secretary presided over the meeting: "Mr. Chen, please come on stage to speak."

Chen Jiajun, who had specially changed into a suit and leather shoes, slowly stood up.

At this moment, the gazes of many executives looking at Chen Jiajun were very complex.

Chen Jiajun was only twenty-three years old.

Think about it, what were they doing when they were twenty-three?

Everyone is human, why is the gap between people so large?

Chen Jiajun's footsteps stepped calmly and unhurriedly on the solid wood floor.

He arrived on stage.

Chen Jiajun first bowed slightly to the directors and group executives on the stage.

Today, Aomen Entertainment's shareholders included these five people: Chen Yingnan, He Xin, Ye Deli, Shi Guniang, Chen Jiajun, and Xin Mazai. Among them, Chen Yingnan was the largest shareholder, occupying 1/3 of the group's equity; Ye Deli, Shi Guniang, and Chen Jiajun each occupied ten percent; Xin Mazai occupied less than ten percent; the rest belonged to He Xin.

Xin Mazai's real name was Xin Ma Shizeng.

Who was Xin Ma Shizeng?

His status in the Hong Kong entertainment circle was equivalent to what Michael Jackson would be to the United States in the future; he was a superstar from thirty years ago, and his status could not be shaken by anyone.

How high was his status? He was the only person in all of Hong Kong who could legally smoke opium; the Governor specially approved it, and even the Police could do nothing about him.

People in the underworld called him Brother Xiang or Cheung Suk; he was a famous Cantonese opera master. People with higher seniority and status than him called him Xin Mazai; he was a Big Spender worth several hundred million.

Both the old and new generations of Macau Gambling Kings had benefited from him. The old Gambling King Fu Laorong was once kidnapped, and a sky-high ransom of 9 million was demanded—one must know that was in 1945—and later it was negotiated down to 500,000 by Xin Ma Shizeng, who successfully rescued Fu Laorong.

As for Shi Guniang, she held shares on behalf of the He Dong family.

If He Xin was the Macau Gambling King, then Chen Yingnan was the man behind the Gambling King.

At this time, Chen Yingnan looked Chen Jiajun up and down, sat up straight, and listened attentively.

In fact, he was the nominal Chairman of Aomen Entertainment, but he was a hands-off manager.

He himself was not interested in the gambling industry, believing it to be harmful to heaven's harmony, and coupled with the struggle between He Xin and Nie Aotian, he did not want to turn Aomen Entertainment into a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

Today, he came to attend the shareholders' meeting mainly to see Chen Jiajun in person!

Because of suppression by the British Hong Kong authorities, Chen Yingnan, as the former leader of the real estate industry, had gradually faded out of the Hong Kong business world since the 1970s and rarely appeared in public in the Hong Kong business world.

In the few years since fading out of the Hong Kong business world, what had Chen Yingnan done?

Mainly "United Front" work.

Recently, in the past six months, Chen Yingnan had heard the name Chen Jiajun more and more frequently.

For a time, even he was curious about what kind of person Chen Jiajun was.

Therefore, he decided to come in person for today's shareholders' meeting.

Chen Jiajun aimed at the microphone and said confidently: "My name is Chen Jiajun; I suppose I don't need to introduce myself."

"From now on, as a major shareholder of Aoyu Group and the General Manager of the casino, I will certainly devote myself to my duties and fulfill the responsibilities I ought to."

"As Aoyu Group is the only company holding a Gambling License in Macau, I believe we should put some effort into the aspect of security in Macau."

"According to the data, in the annual fiscal revenue of the Macau Governor's Office, gambling taxes account for 46%, while various direct and indirect taxes only account for 19%, land sale revenue accounts for 25%, and the rest is other miscellaneous income."

"And as for Macau's gambling industry, our Aoyu Group is the main pillar!"

"Therefore, starting from today, as a shareholder and General Manager of Aoyu Group, I will establish a security department for the Lisboa Casino to maintain the daily safety of the casino and the streets of Macau."

"Today, when everyone came to the Lisboa Hotel, you should have already seen our Hung Hing security department maintaining order on the streets of Macau..."

"The reason for doing this is to attract tourists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even from abroad..."

In the seventies and eighties, Macau was truly unsafe.

Because the Macau Governor's Office had lost its prestige, from that time on, no one dared to go to the Governor, and many people boycotted the Macau Governor's Office.

The so-called boycott refers to a collective refusal; to what extent?

When the Governor went to a Western Restaurant to drink coffee, even the Puguo people were too lazy to greet him.

From then on, this city was filled with people from all walks of life.

Macau King Heyan was bombed with explosives at the Dog Farm.

The Cui family of the Four Great Families was strafed with machine guns.

Hearing Chen Jiajun say he wanted to protect the safety of the city of Macau, Chen Yingnan could not help but raise his head again to look at Chen Jiajun, re-examining this young man before him.

A profit of 2.4 billion from Kowloon Wharf, punching Hung Lok, kicking Sun Yee, the Macau bloodbath...

As a result, in the blink of an eye, he spoke glibly about fulfilling the security obligations of Macau.

This young man is truly interesting.

After the shareholder and executive meeting, Chen Yingnan did not greet Chen Jiajun either, but immediately returned to Hong Kong.

And Chen Jiajun stayed in Macau for seven days; during these seven days, he renovated all the remaining ten Gambling Halls.

Up to this point, of the fifteen Gambling Halls in the Lisboa Casino, thirteen had fallen into Chen Jiajun's hands, and the remaining two were controlled by Dajiajie.

Immediately following.

Chen Jiajun planned and organized the Macau branch, assigning three thousand young demon slaves to maintain order on the streets of Macau daily.

Since the Macau Governor's Office could not fulfill the security issues of Macau, then Hung Hing should fulfill this obligation.

After all, only when Macau is safer and there are more tourists can he rake in large amounts of money.

For each Gambling Hall, he arranged fifty Dealers and staff members.

Besides this, since the territories of Mo Dingping and Bengyaju had both fallen into his hands, Chen Jiajun arranged a total of 2,000 guards in various venues.

The entire Macau branch, with nearly six thousand people, could be called strong and well-equipped!

At the same time, Chen Jiajun gave Lao E some instructions and then threw the affairs of the Aoyu Group casino General Manager entirely to Lao E to handle.

When he had nothing to do on weekdays, he would go to visit the He Family.

Playing chess with He Xin; this man He Xin is absolutely a terrible chess player.

Sometimes according to the board, He Xin's situation was already dire and he was destined to lose.

He Tian'er would even advise him to concede, as it was already a dead game.

But He Xin just wouldn't concede.

Fine, if you won't concede, then make the next move!

But He Xin wouldn't move at all, just sitting there, looking as if he were in deep thought.

When it was time to eat, the Butler would call for dinner, and He Xin would stand up and say everyone go eat, and this game of chess wouldn't count.

Damn it!

Chen Jiajun finally understood why He Xin had never lost.

Guojun Building.

Top floor, reception room.

As soon as Chen Jiajun returned to Hong Kong, the General Manager of Guojun Securities, Zhan Peizhong, hurried over with two employees.

The current Zhan Peizhong could be said to be a hot topic in the Hong Kong business world during this period, leaping from a grassroots employee at Wardley to a director of Hutchison Whampoa.

To ensure his safety, Chen Jiajun equipped him with 10 young demon slave bodyguards, and he traveled daily in 3 Mercedes-Benz cars, making many workers drool with envy.

And Hutchison Whampoa is now divided into two factions.

One faction is the restructuring faction led by Chairman of the Board Wei Li and Zhan Peizhong; they strive to take advantage of the current real estate boom to sell off the land and properties under Hutchison Whampoa and streamline Hutchison Whampoa's subsidiaries.

One faction is the hardline faction led by Li Jiacheng; he won over the remaining directors and tried his best to oppose the restructuring plan.

During this time, Li Jiacheng bought 5% of Hutchison Whampoa's equity in the secondary market, leaping to become a major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, but he did not reach the full acquisition line.

Hong Kong's takeover laws are very complex: for example, if Li Jiacheng wants to acquire Hutchison Whampoa, once it exceeds 35%, he must trigger a full takeover battle, which means acquiring 51% of the shares;

Furthermore, after the acquisition is completed, he must also buy the Hutchison Whampoa shares in Chen Jiajun's hands at a high price, which determines that the challenging party will pay a costly price.

There is another situation, which is that even if you acquire more than 40% of the shares, if neither side has the ability to complete a 51% acquisition, then they need to coexist peacefully.

Currently, Hutchison Whampoa, after a series of operations by Zhan Peizhong, plus Li Jiacheng's acquisition, the stock price has reached 12 dollars per share.

"Boss, Li Jiacheng is now proposing a 10% premium to acquire the shares in our hands. According to the current stock price, the total price is 1.188 billion. According to the price we bought from HSBC a month ago, the profit is 478 million, a profit of 67.32%."

Sitting opposite the Boss, the dark-eyed Zhan Peizhong reported.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said: "It hasn't reached my expectations yet, have you found out the source of Boss Li's funds?"
