Chapter 43: Doing Legitimate Business, Making Big Money

Under the witness of both parties' lawyers, this transaction was officially completed, and Chen Jiajun hurriedly had the staff of Lawyer Huang Dawen apply to the municipal department to rename the building to Jiajun Building.

Subsequently, under the escort of the imp slaves, he returned to Hennessy Road.

During this period, Wanchai was not very peaceful.

The Sun Yee On was the first to challenge Chen Jiajun, but they were beaten back!

The Wanchai Tiger of the Sun Yee On hurriedly called Chen Jiajun, saying it was all a misunderstanding.

The Wo Shing Wo also came to test Chen Jiajun's depth, but naturally, they did not gain any advantage.

The Tung Sing held their ground, while the Wo Shing had been fighting incessantly for the past few years, having been driven out of Tsim Sha Tsui by the Sun Yee On and losing a large piece of territory in Causeway Bay, causing their strength to drop by several tens of percent.

Other large and small triads had constant friction with Chen Jiajun's imp slaves.

But Chen Jiajun and his imp slaves were as firm as a rock, not yielding an inch of ground.

At the same time, Chen Jiajun spent quite a lot of Universe Coin to ask Dumu to release another two hundred imp slaves to hold down Wanchai, working in two shifts every day.

……

Hennessy Road.

MIX Bar, Phoebe Bar, and Heaven on Earth Nightclub, three nightlife venues opened simultaneously.

Dumu, Lao E, Ya Qi, Shisimei, Han Bin, Jing Kun, as well as the hired waiters, Mama-san, pimps... were all lined up in front of the entrance of Heaven on Earth.

"Crack-pop-bang!"

A string of 8,888 firecrackers exploded on Hennessy Road.

Chen Jiajun was wearing a royal blue suit, with his hair slicked back, greeting everyone with a face full of smiles.

"Click!"

The sound of a camera shutter went off as the photographer took a group photo of everyone.

After the group photo was finished, Chen Jiajun took the scissors handed over by a brother: "Click."

The red silk ribbon was cut in two, and everyone was all smiles.

After the ribbon-cutting, Chen Jiajun put the scissors back on the tray and turned to look at Dumu: "Brother Dumu, from now on, Hennessy Road is under your management; there will be no shortage of benefits for you."

"Anyone who wants to do business on Hennessy Road, no problem! But they must greet us first; the shop's renovation, transactions, and transfers must all be approved by us, and the renovation business must be secured."

"If you want to make money and get rich, then let's all get rich together."

Chen Jiajun was very clear that this geographical location was a prime spot in Causeway Bay.

Although he still had thirty or forty million in his pocket, he had hundreds of big eaters to feed, and he was also deep in debt, so any business that could be snatched had to be snatched; otherwise, where would the money come from?

Moreover, Chen Jiajun had a major use for this money; he had already been secretly buying shares in a company called Hanmei Company through a securities firm introduced by Huang Dawen.

In 1980, the Hong Kong stock market entered a period of mergers and acquisitions.

In addition to the well-known battle for Kowloon Wharf, the acquisition of Hanmei by a group called Carrian was worth mentioning, because later on, the stock price of this company would rise crazily, increasing several times over within two months! And this company would also become a myth of this period.

"Hmm." Dumu heard about the extra money and puffed out his chest, "pop," a button on his suit burst off.

The advertisements for the three nightlife venues had already been put out, waiting until six o'clock in the evening.

The avant-garde style and the Jinbi Huihuang renovation attracted many customers who frequented nightlife venues, and the parking lot at the entrance was filled with a constant stream of luxury cars.

"This is the most up-and-coming Liangzai Jun of our Hung Hing now; if Hung Hing opens another branch, he will be the Zha FIT Ren of Wanchai."

Wherever there was excitement, Ji Ge was naturally there; Ji Ge brought a few underworld friends to show support.

His words showed great respect for Chen Jiajun.

"Ji Ge, don't say that; I haven't even stood firm yet," Chen Jiajun said modestly.

Ji Ge patted him on the shoulder and said: "You will definitely make it; in all the time our Hung Hing has existed, no one has ever planted a flag in Wanchai; you have created history for Hung Hing! By the way, let me introduce you, this is Lian Haodong of the Chung Yee Sing; you should call him Brother Dong!"

Ji Ge had friends all over the world!

Chen Jiajun looked at Lian Haodong, revealed a gentle smile, shook his hand, and said: "Brother Dong, this is the VIP card for our Heaven on Earth; from now on, bring this card when you come, and you'll get 12% off all drinks!"

"A Jun, if you don't mind, just call me Adong! Hahaha! A talented man, truly a Liangzai Jun!"

Lian Haodong was the number two man under the Dragon Head of the Chung Yee Sing—Lian Haolong; looking at their names, one could tell they were biological brothers, and both were big drug traffickers.

"Hey, A Jun, you guys even have cards here, and 12% off, why didn't you give me one?" Ji Ge said with a laugh.

Chen Jiajun looked at Ji Ge and said: "Ji Ge, once your face reaches my venue, everyone will naturally recognize you; do you even need a card?"

"Hahahaha!"

As Chen Jiajun's labor of love, the waiters and hostesses at Heaven on Earth had their clothing and makeup strictly selected by Chen Jiajun. At this moment, under the illumination of the lights, the hostesses looked even more like celestial beings.

That night was incredibly lively.

……

And the Causeway Bay Five Tigers who returned to Hong Kong from Macau, no!

Now they should be called the "Causeway Bay Four Cats"; hearing the commotion not far away, they only felt that this night was hard to endure.

Even harder to endure was Dalao B; tonight, the customer traffic at his Glorious Nightclub was clearly not as good as before, cold and desolate to a terrifying degree; he, Dalao B, had already become a joke in the underworld.

Everyone knew that Dalao B had poor judgment, having forcefully promoted a few pieces of trash, while the Chen Jiajun he had tried to suppress had instead become a big hit in the underworld.

Some regular customers naturally wouldn't patronize his place either.

The underworld was just that realistic.

……

Finance company office.

After the socializing was over, Chen Jiajun, who had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, took out a cake of Pu'er tea and threw the tea leaves into the teapot; the office was suddenly filled with the scent of camphor.

"Damn, A Jun, with your three venues so lively today, you're making a fortune!"

Han Bin leaned against the window, smoking a cigar, watching the lively scene downstairs.

Shisimei smiled and said: "You jerk! Which renovation team did you hire to do the renovation? Introduce them to me; I want to renovate my venue in Portland Street."

"I called you all here today because there is an important matter to discuss."

"Please, have some tea!"

"Are you eyeing someone's territory again? You're already prominent enough; be careful, or the Anti-Triad Unit will drag you off to Stanley for some 'advanced studies'!" Jing Kun picked up his teacup and took a slurp, immediately feeling the scent of medicine mixed with camphor rush into his nose.

As soon as Jing Kun spoke, the atmosphere in the room cooled down; Shisimei and Han Bin, who had been laughing and chatting just a moment ago, fell silent.

In truth, Jing Kun knew clearly in his own heart that the younger generation of Hung Hing Zha FIT Ren, such as Shisimei, Han Bin, Konglong, and Taizi, were none of them close to him.

Because he dealt in narcotics, these people usually stayed far away from him whenever they could, fearing that they might get burned.

And what about the older generation?

Among the older generation of Zha FIT Ren, only interests could maintain their relationships with one another.

As for the two words "loyalty and righteousness," he had already seen through them back when he first entered the underworld.

Chen Jiajun took everything in, set down his teacup, and said, "I asked everyone here today because I want to talk business with you; I want to bring you all along to go legitimate and make big money together."
