Chapter 391: Buying in Complete Sets
After driving for nearly half an hour, Chen Jiajun and A Jie finally saw a building.
This building must have been a Zhuangyuan in the past, but now it had been converted into a private club, and there were even people standing guard at the entrance.
After getting out of the car, Chen Jiajun and the others were led directly into the clubhouse.
As soon as they entered the clubhouse, an aura of luxury rushed toward them.
If the hotel Chen Jiajun and his group had stayed at in Harbin was already quite good, the atmosphere here could be considered top-tier.
Not only did every ornament radiate a golden glow, but the patterned porcelain pieces and the oil paintings hanging on the walls were clearly not ordinary items at a glance.
Then, entering a place that looked like a Restaurant, A Jie's eyes went wide.
Because the waitresses in the Restaurant were all Ching Yee Sik beautiful women, and these beauties were dressed very scantily.
The long table was laid with all kinds of expensive food, caviar, King Crab, and so on.
As an arms dealer, it wasn't that A Jie hadn't seen these things before; his eyes were just wide because, when he came to the Soviet Union for a trade last time, why hadn't he received such good treatment?
Differential treatment, right?
Thinking of this, A Jie felt a bit of teeth-grinding irritation.
Keziluofu welcomed Chen Jiajun and A Jie inside with a warm expression, then said with a smile, "Let's eat first, we can chat while we eat!"
After both sides sat down, the few of them began to drink.
Then Keziluofu got straight to the point and said, "I heard from Liu Dachun that the two of you have a big deal to discuss with me, and it's a deal worth hundreds of millions?"
A Jie said with a smile, "You have to talk to him about the deal worth hundreds of millions; he is the Big Boss, I'm just here to buy arms!"
Keziluofu had originally thought that A Jie was leading this deal, but he hadn't expected it to be the quiet Chen Jiajun.
However, Keziluofu didn't mind the arms deal; the Soviet Union was about to collapse, and he had to quickly liquidate everything in his hands and then flee abroad to become a wealthy man.
Otherwise, heaven knows if he would be liquidated by someone.
So he didn't mind A Jie's deal either, having quite the attitude of accepting all comers.
Chen Jiajun lit a Cigar and said with a smile, "You two talk first, we'll continue after you're done!"
Chen Jiajun wasn't an arms dealer, and Brunei still had quite a lot of equipment from England, plus the standard-issue equipment he had swindled from MI6 last time, which was already enough for Brunei to use for a long time.
What he wanted to talk about wasn't these light weapons, but some big things! Truly big things!
Although Chen Jiajun's words made Keziluofu feel a bit itchy, he still started talking to A Jie first.
The two quickly determined the ownership of a batch of weapons, and then A Jie paid the deposit.
The speed was so fast that it didn't feel like they were doing an arms deal, but rather buying groceries at a vegetable market.
However, the arms in the Soviet Union were indeed at cabbage prices right now; as long as one could offload them, one could make a huge profit.
Keziluofu had no channels, and he was also very short of money, so he was very anxious.
A Jie was afraid this guy would go back on his word, so he was also very straightforward.
Before Chen Jiajun had even finished smoking one Cigar, the two had reached a cooperation.
When it was his turn, Chen Jiajun said indifferently to Keziluofu, "Have all the irrelevant people go out! There can be no outsiders for this matter!"
Keziluofu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and had the scantily clad girls withdraw.
Subsequently, Chen Jiajun said to Liu Dachun, "You go find two pretty girls to rest too! The following matters are not suitable for you to hear!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Dachun very tactfully swallowed the food in his mouth and turned to leave.
Clearly, he understood that some things could be heard, while hearing others might cost him his life.
Even though he was honest, if he didn't have this bit of discernment as a profiteer, he would have been killed by someone long ago.
After everyone else had gone out, Chen Jiajun said to Keziluofu, "Howitzer, Missile, Coastal Defense System, I accept all of them!"
Hearing Chen Jiajun speak, even Keziluofu, a man who had seen big scenes, couldn't help but gasp.
Then his gaze became vigilant, and he looked at Chen Jiajun and said, "You should know that this kind of stuff definitely cannot be taken away privately, right? Or are you joking with me?"
Chen Jiajun said indifferently, "Do I look like I'm joking? Of course, if you have things like Armed Helicopter or Destroyer, I want those too!"
"What exactly do you want to do? Who are you?" Keziluofu couldn't listen anymore and immediately questioned, "What do you, Ahong Kong businessman, intend to do with these things?"
Chen Jiajun spread his hands and said, "Is there a difference? You have things to sell, and I'm just buying things!"
"There is!" Keziluofu said coldly, "Even if I could sell these things to you, I have to ensure I won't be dragged down by you! This is no small matter!"
Chen Jiajun sighed and said, "Fine! Since you've put it that way!"
After Chen Jiajun finished speaking, he took a document directly out of his pocket.
This document was written by Li Yaohua, and the general meaning was that he wanted to purchase some equipment from the Soviet Union.
Chen Jiajun had anticipated this point long ago, so he had obtained the official document from Li Yaohua in advance to avoid some trouble.
After carefully reading the document several times, Keziluofu sat down calmly and said, "So, you are representing Brunei to talk to me?"
Chen Jiajun said indifferently, "You could say that!"
Keziluofu's brows furrowed deeply, and then he said to Chen Jiajun, "What can you give?"
Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "That depends on what you want! If you want money, I can give you money; if you want supplies, my company has prepared a large batch of supplies that can be shipped over at any time!"
Seeing Chen Jiajun calm and composed, not looking like he was playing around, Keziluofu fell silent.
Honestly, Keziluofu hadn't expected Chen Jiajun's appetite to be so large, wanting to swallow the Soviet Union's complete systems.
Keziluofu hadn't even thought these could be sold before.
However, since Chen Jiajun had mentioned it, and Keziluofu had no way to take these things away anyway, he was still somewhat tempted.
So he said to Chen Jiajun, "This matter is too big; I need to consider it for a period of time, and I also need to communicate with a big shot!"
"Big deals definitely need to be handled carefully! Fine, I'll wait for your good news!" Chen Jiajun nodded and said.
Keziluofu breathed a sigh of relief, then said to Chen Jiajun and A Jie, "The two of you should rest well here for these few days; just put everything on my tab!"
After saying this, Keziluofu left the clubhouse quickly, clearly intending to find someone to discuss this matter.
After Keziluofu left, A Jie lowered his voice and said to Chen Jiajun, "A Jun, tell me honestly, is Brunei already in your hands? That President Li Yaohua wasn't killed by you, was he?"
Chen Jiajun glanced at him and said to A Jie, "What gave you the illusion that I only recently gained control of Brunei?"
"Not recently... that means... Hiss!" A Jie seemed to have figured something out, looking at Chen Jiajun with a look of having seen a ghost: "Could it be that you have long since..."
Chen Jiajun couldn't be bothered to let this guy continue his wild imagination and said directly, "President Li Yaohua himself was pushed up by me, so from the very beginning, Brunei has been my territory!"
"Damn!" A Jie jumped up, staring at Chen Jiajun with wide eyes and saying, "Are you really my brother Lanzai Jun? You haven't been possessed by some ghost, have you?"
Chen Jiajun was so angry he kicked out at him: "You bastard! I shouldn't have saved you back in Sham Shui Po; I should have let people sell you off to a male escort club to sell your ass!"
A Jie dodged Chen Jiajun's attack and chuckled, "Everyone used to say you, Lanzai Jun, were just a hothead; how come I never realized you were this brainy!"
Chen Jiajun rolled his eyes and said, "Do you understand the concept of hiding one's light? If I hadn't hidden my light, I would have been used to death as a pawn by that bastard Dalao B long ago! I'm not his direct subordinate; even if I fought to the death for him, I wouldn't be able to rise to the top!"
A Jie nodded: "That's true!"
"Alright, go sell your arms, and don't go around blabbing about this!" Chen Jiajun instructed, "If the CIA comes knocking, I won't be responsible!"
A Jie curled his lip and said, "You're afraid of the CIA? Didn't you dismantle quite a few of their contact points?"
Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "One thing is one thing, another is another. Brunei is still quite fragile right now, and I don't want to become a target for everyone! It's fine for me to have small skirmishes with the CIA, but when it involves matters like this, it's no small affair!"
A Jie nodded and said, "Alright, I got it! I'll keep this buried in my stomach!"
Chen Jiajun stood up from his chair and said, "Alright, go play with your women! I need to get some good rest."
"You're telling me you want to rest with so many pretty girls around?" A Jie widened his eyes, looking at Chen Jiajun with a strange expression, and said, "I'm telling you, brother, you wouldn't be impotent now, would you!"
"Bastard, I'll kill you!" Chen Jiajun was furious, grabbing A Jie by the collar, intending to settle the score.
They stayed at the club in Vladivostok for two days, fully enjoying the enthusiasm of the Eastern European girls.
By the afternoon of the third day, Keziluofu finally returned.
"Mr. Chen, my boss above feels this matter can be discussed!" Keziluofu said with a look of joy, "We can sell you most of the things you want, it's just... the price is not low."
Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Money is not an issue! How shall we trade?"
Keziluofu thought for a moment and said to Chen Jiajun, "We need a list from your side, then we can talk about the price! We hope to trade using a method of half supplies and half cash."
"That works, I'll have Brunei prepare a list," Chen Jiajun nodded and said.
Keziluofu smiled and said, "Once you have the list ready and send the supplies over, we will ship the goods directly to you. Should we send them to Brunei or Hong Kong?"
Chen Jiajun thought for a moment and said, "Send them directly to Brunei! I will have people from Brunei come to coordinate with you!"
"No problem!" Keziluofu smiled and said, "Then I will wait for the good news from you, Mr. Chen!"
As he spoke, this guy picked up the vodka and clinked glasses with Chen Jiajun.
Since the negotiations were over, Chen Jiajun and A Jie prepared to return to Hong Kong.
If they didn't go back soon, A Jie was about to be drained dry.
For the past two days, this guy had been walking as if he were stepping on cotton; one look and you could tell he was incredibly weak.
"Bullshit, I just tripped on the carpet," A Jie said, stubborn to the end.
Liu Dachun, acting all mysterious, took something wrapped in oil paper and handed it to A Jie.
A Jie opened it and was immediately furious, but after thinking about it, he still put the thing away.
This stuff was a massive tonic when soaked in liquor!
Liu Dachun could be said to have made a killing by introducing Keziluofu this time; just the commission from A Jie's deal alone would net him one hundred thousand dollars, not to mention the deal with Chen Jiajun.
Therefore, he treated both of them like royalty, even wanting Chen Jiajun and A Jie to stay in Harbin for a few more days.
However, both of them politely declined; after all, once the business was discussed, they still had follow-up transaction issues and didn't have much time.
Given the current situation in the Soviet Union, heaven knows if Keziluofu would be purged.
It was more important to get things done early.
The two returned the way they came, and it could be said they didn't alert anyone.
They returned to Hong Kong very smoothly.
A Jie got busy with his own business, and Chen Jiajun also notified Li Yaohua.
Li Yaohua was also very excited to hear that Chen Jiajun had negotiated a batch of Soviet equipment.
After all, the environment in Brunei wasn't great; it was one thing that the economy was developing rapidly, but they had also discovered oil fields.
Now they needed some equipment to hold down the fort.
Soviet equipment was top-tier on the international stage, and being able to get a batch would certainly deter the petty thieves nearby.
Therefore, Li Yaohua immediately dispatched his think tank and Lao E to Vladivostok to prepare to negotiate this matter.
As for the required supplies, the cargo ship from Hong Kong had already set sail, heading directly for the Soviet Union.
After settling this matter, Chen Jiajun's mission was complete; afterwards, he just needed to pay the money and take the equipment.
Just as Chen Jiajun was planning to go on vacation with his woman, Huo Yingnan suddenly called.
"A Jun, I heard you went back to your hometown recently?" Huo Yingnan asked.
Chen Jiajun was stunned for a moment: "That's right, is there something, Nan Ge?"
"Let's talk when we meet, come to the clubhouse." Huo Yingnan hesitated but didn't discuss the matter over the phone.
Chen Jiajun helplessly pushed away He Tian'er, who was clinging to him, and had his men prepare the car to head to the clubhouse.
The clubhouse was a private club set up by Huo Yingnan and others; unlike the one in Vladivostok, this place was purely for some leftist business tycoons to drink tea, listen to music, and exchange sentiments.
After arriving at the clubhouse, Chen Jiajun saw Huo Yingnan and another man with a haggard expression.
After entering the door, Huo Yingnan said with a smile: "A Jun, you're here, sit down first!"
Chen Jiajun sat down accordingly and looked at the man beside him: "Nan Ge, who is this?"
"This is Mr. Guo, the boss of the Hong Kong Electrical Industry Company!" Huo Yingnan introduced immediately.
"Hello, Mr. Guo!"
"Hello, Sir Chen, I've long admired your name!" Mr. Guo managed to squeeze out a smile and shook hands with Chen Jiajun.
"Mr. Guo doesn't seem to be in very good spirits! Have you encountered any difficulties?" Chen Jiajun asked with a smile.
Anyone who could be introduced by Huo Yingnan was definitely worth befriending.
And since they had sought him out, there must be some matter they needed his help with.
Even if only for the sake of Huo Yingnan, Chen Jiajun would not refuse, so he asked directly.
Huo Yingnan revealed a faint smile, then sighed and said to Chen Jiajun, "Guo Xiansheng's son, Xiao Guo, has been kidnapped in Vietnam, and the other party is demanding a ransom of one hundred million US dollars."
"But even after the money was wired over, the other party still didn't release him and continued to extort them. So, Guo Xiansheng wants to ask if you have any way to rescue his son!" (End of chapter)
