Chapter 472: Short-sighted

Seeing Luo Minsheng's contemplative expression, Chen Jiajun laughed and said, "We are just chatting casually today; you can go back and think carefully about my proposal! Rest assured, even if you don't agree, I won't do anything to you!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun say this, Luo Minsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and said to Chen Jiajun, "Thank you, Big Boss, I will give you an answer within three days!"

Chen Jiajun nodded and had his subordinates escort Luo Minsheng out.

After Luo Minsheng left, Chen Jiajun took out a notebook.

This was a relic of Sima Xiang; besides some business insights, it also contained some young talents he held in high regard.

These were all selected for Chen Jiajun, but this loyal old fellow was no longer around!

Sima Xiang had a great eye for talent, and Chen Jiajun had an impression of the first person recommended.

It was Zhuo Yu from "The Ultimate Addiction".

This kid originally had a happy family, but because his mother fell seriously ill, his father mistakenly trusted a friend and participated in speculative trading, resulting in losing everything and committing suicide.

He was left to depend on his younger sister for survival.

However, this kid was quite ambitious; relying on scholarships, he not only successfully got into university but also apprenticed under the accountant Jiang Zhicheng during his university years.

"It's him! The first target!" Chen Jiajun drew a circle on Zhuo Yu's file, then set it aside, preparing to have someone send an invitation the next morning.

To be honest, I believe very few people could refuse an invitation from the newly reorganized Main Association.

……

On the other side, inside the Government House.

Paul and Spencer were hiding there, trembling.

The Governor, Youde, had informed them of the news from England and the news from Hong Kong.

They had not expected Chen Jiajun to be so terrifying; after one of his subordinates died, he went straight to England to carry out revenge.

And as soon as he returned to Hong Kong, he wiped out everyone from the Landlord Association.

Even if they were from England, they probably wouldn't care too much about this kind of conduct.

Youde sneered and said to the two, "Are you satisfied now that things have turned out like this?"

Paul immediately roared at Youde, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Say so earlier?" Youde sneered and said, "Have I said too little? Did the two cabinet members listen to my words?"

Facing Youde's sarcasm, Paul and Spencer were speechless.

"You are the Governor, and you have no way to deal with him?" Spencer said, unwilling to give up.

Youde said indifferently, "If you have a way, you do it? I will resign to the cabinet immediately!"

Youde had long been annoyed with these two "imperial envoys"; their bossiness made him quite unhappy.

So, whenever he found an opportunity, he would fiercely retort at them! Facing the current situation, no matter how stubborn Paul and Spencer were, they knew this matter was definitely impossible.

Even staying in Hong Kong was a very dangerous thing.

Therefore, they said to Youde, "We won't worry about Hong Kong's affairs anymore; find a way to send us away from here!"

Seeing the two soften their stance, Youde couldn't just watch two cabinet members die in Hong Kong.

After hesitating for a moment, he said to them, "Charter a plane and take my car directly to the airport! That guy Chen Jiajun won't make a move on my vehicle!"

Hearing Youde's words, the two dared not delay and immediately had the airport prepare a plane.

After everything was ready, the two got into the Governor's car and headed straight to Shek Kong Airport.

Fortunately, no attacks occurred, and the car drove smoothly into the airport.

Shek Kong Airport was a military airport for England; for the sake of safety, they did not go to Kowloon.

After boarding the plane, the two finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

As long as the plane took off, Chen Jiajun would not be able to make a move on them again.

As the plane slowly climbed, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They had the flight attendant bring a bottle of fine wine, and the two prepared to have a good drink.

But none of them noticed that on a hillside on the outskirts of Shek Kong, Bai Lu was staring at the constantly climbing plane.

Bai Lu was in combat gear, and beside her lay an inconspicuous long carrying case.

Inside was a police-issue AWP and some bullets.

After quickly assembling the AWP, Bai Lu picked up a. 308 Winchester round and placed it in her palm.

This bullet was nearly the size of a human finger; after Bai Lu placed it in her palm, she immediately coated the bullet with a layer of black magic.

Then, Bai Lu inserted the bullet into the AWP and quickly aimed at the climbing plane.

Then she pulled the Trigger directly.

A huge gunshot exploded, and then the bullet, trailing black flames, hit the belly of the plane directly.

Generally speaking, even if this kind of sniper rifle hit a plane, it would be difficult to cause any damage.

But this shot from Bai Lu was different because she used spiritual telekinesis, which could have an effect similar to an EMP.

After hitting the plane, the area around the bullet began to rapidly short-circuit and shield the plane's components.

Soon, the plane began to shake violently; the plane, which should have been climbing steadily, quickly lost control.

The pilot controlling the plane found that it was impossible to control it at all and could only watch helplessly as the plane, which had flown into mid-air, plummeted straight down.

This was followed by a series of explosions! Fortunately, the Shek Kong military camp was sparsely populated, and after the plane crashed, it only destroyed a patch of farmland.

However, as for the people inside the plane... they were definitely beyond saving.

In Bai Lu's perception, the life force of the few people in the plane was fading rapidly.

After everyone was completely dead, Bai Lu took her gear, got into a black Ferrari, and quickly left the scene.

……

"Yesterday afternoon, near the Shek Kong military camp, an English military plane crashed! All crew members on the plane died; the specific situation is currently unknown. If there are any updates, please pay attention to our station's reports!"

On the television, a female Reporter was shown standing next to the wreckage of the crashed plane, where a cordon had been set up to prevent nearby reporters from approaching.

Seeing the content on the television, Chen Jiajun could not help but reveal a faint smile.

Although he had finished off the culprit Huang Shitong, he would not let the England Gweilo who specifically came to Hong Kong to stir up trouble off the hook either.

Therefore, he had long ago sent Bai Lu to keep an eye on these fellows; seeing that they were about to run away, Chen Jiajun directly had Bai Lu shoot down their military aircraft. Just as Chen Jiajun was watching the television, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

After connecting, he found Ilsa's voice coming through: "Boss, there is a gentleman named Youde looking for you!"

That's right, the female Agent Ilsa, whom he had poached from MI6, had started her job and was now Chen Jiajun's private Secretary.

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "Put him through!"

A moment later, Youde's angry voice came through the receiver: "Chen Jiajun, you have gone too far!"

Chen Jiajun naturally knew what Youde was referring to, and with a cold laugh, he said: "Too far? Why don't I think so?"

"You... this is forcing me to come and cause you trouble! That was a military aircraft, a military aircraft!" Youde roared angrily.

Chen Jiajun said dismissively: "So what? You were the ones who started this, and I decide when it ends!"

"Do you really think I don't dare to touch you?" Youde said viciously.

Chen Jiajun laughed coldly: "Want to try? If you dare to make a move, I will turn Hong Kong into a battlefield and have Hong Kong returned early—do you believe me? Don't try to scare me; you England people are just paper tigers. You weren't our match over a dozen years ago, and you are even worse now!"

"Wait honestly for the handover; I won't provoke you, but if you dare to pull any more little tricks in front of me, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Having said that, Chen Jiajun hung up the phone directly.

Then he called for Ilsa and said: "Prepare the car, I am going to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce mansion!"

"Understood, Boss!" Ilsa nodded; she had quickly become familiar with her new identity and even seemed somewhat content.

After all, not having to live in fear every day and not having to worry about being sent to her death by her superiors was a life that a regular Agent could only dream of.

Chen Jiajun arrived at the mansion quickly by car; at this time, there were not many people inside, just familiar faces like Huo Yingnan.

The reason Chen Jiajun was called over today was because the time for the return was drawing near, and Huo Yingnan was there to give out invitations to a few people.

"Those Gweilo who should be withdrawing are already preparing to leave!" Huo Yingnan said quite happily: "This land beneath our feet is finally being managed by our own people!"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile: "Who's to say it isn't!"

Hearing this news, the group of Chinese Capital Merchants Bosses were all full of joy.

This was huge good news for these Chinese Capital Merchants.

After the group chatted for a while, Bao Yugang said to Chen Jiajun: "A Jun, have you noticed that the Asian financial market this year is very strange?"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Last year, Mexico began to experience damage to its balance sheet status caused by devaluation from a foreign exchange crisis, and at the beginning of this year, a similar situation appeared over in Indonesia! One cannot help but guard against such things!"

Bao Yugang nodded: "That is the logic; several analysts under me told me that it is very likely that multiple countries here in Asia will experience this situation! For example, places like Siam, Malaya, Singapore, and so on!"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile: "Do you have investments in all these places?"

Bao Yugang nodded and said: "I have invested quite a bit; after all, emerging markets have been rising these past few years, and I've made a lot of money!"

Hearing Bao Yugang's words, many Chinese Capital Merchants Bosses also nodded one after another.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Jiajun said to everyone: "These emerging market countries have experienced high and unstable inflation, and their central banks are also extremely unreliable!"

"If a credit crisis of currency were to occur, it would further exacerbate this kind of inflation! By then, I'm afraid a terrifying disaster will erupt!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, many Bosses said with some disbelief: "A Jun, aren't you being a bit alarmist?"

"Believe it or not, that's up to you; I'm just analyzing the current situation," Chen Jiajun said, spreading his hands.

Chen Jiajun had already very tactfully warned these Chinese Capital Merchants Bosses about the arrival of the Asian financial crisis.

But he certainly could not state such things clearly; being able to do this much was already enough.

However, he figured it probably wouldn't have any effect; after all, they were making money right now! It was clearly impossible to make them give up their investments just because of a single sentence from Chen Jiajun.

"Alright, let's not talk about these things!" Huo Yingnan waved his hand and said: "The list for the return banquet has already been drafted. If any of you are interested in the preparatory committee, I can submit your names!"

Chen Jiajun did not speak, because he knew his name was definitely on that committee.

So there was no need to compete with the other Chinese Capital Merchants Bosses.

Hearing this news, the group of Chinese Capital Merchants Bosses signed up enthusiastically.

Although the chances were slim, they were all willing to try; after all, being on the preparatory committee list could represent many things.

After finishing these matters, these Big Bosses left one after another.

When Chen Jiajun was preparing to leave, Huo Yingnan stopped him and said: "A Jun, wait a moment!"

"Nan Ge, is something the matter?" Chen Jiajun said, feeling a bit strange.

After Huo Yingnan pulled Chen Jiajun into a reception room inside the mansion, he had his bodyguards stand guard outside the door.

Then he lowered his voice and said to Chen Jiajun: "We have encountered a bit of trouble!"

"Trouble? Who the hell is looking for death? Daring to block this kind of thing? Is it those Gweilo again?" Upon hearing this, Chen Jiajun's brows immediately stood up, his eyes full of killing intent.

Following the Gweilo's withdrawal from Hong Kong, the Gweilo's influence had become increasingly low-key, and their authority was also in a straight decline.

This was also one of the reasons why Chen Jiajun dared to kill those two Gweilo in front of Youde.

Now that he heard someone was planning to sabotage the return affairs, Chen Jiajun's killing intent immediately flared up.

Huo Yingnan said solemnly: "It's not the Gweilo! It's another force!"

"Another force?" Chen Jiajun immediately frowned: "The Local Faction?"

"It's possible!" Huo Yingnan sighed and said: "In the end, there are some people who are short-sighted. It's not convenient for me to alert the enemy, but I heard you are very close with Li Shutang of the Local Faction; why not try asking him about it?"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "I understand!"

"Don't spread word of this yet; it will be even harder to catch these bastards if you do," Huo Yingnan instructed.

Chen Jiajun laughed coldly and said: "I know; if it really is them, I won't be polite either."

After saying goodbye to Huo Yingnan, Chen Jiajun began to ponder the matter of the Asian financial crisis.

Although he knew how things would develop, Chen Jiajun knew that Hong Kong did not win this battle; rather, both sides fought to a draw.

Those greedy capitalists only earned a little less; their vitality was not damaged at all.

Chen Jiajun did not want to let these international financial crocodiles retreat so easily; since they wanted to take advantage of the financial crisis to loot, then Chen Jiajun wouldn't mind robbing the rich to help the poor.

However, the first thing to do is to reorganize the Landlord Association.

Chen Jiajun does not have that much time to spend on the financial market, so he must first assemble his own team. (End of this chapter)
