Chapter 505: High Table's Overture

Chen Jiajun never interferes with the specific operations of a company.

Not only does he not interfere, he even tries his best to keep the original company's backbone staff.

Because he also does not want any unexpected changes caused by some butterfly effect.

Therefore, keeping Marc Randolph was his original idea from the start.

He even wanted to keep Reed Hastings, which is why he proposed the capital injection plan.

But unfortunately, Reed Hastings was not willing to be subordinate to others, so Chen Jiajun had no choice but to proceed with the acquisition.

Having settled Netflix, Chen Jiajun finally had time to ask about the situation on Xiaofu's side.

The Information Officer said with a smile: "Now Zhang Li has been taken out by Xiaofu, and Liangchuan Shiro has also been killed by Xiaofu; the two gangs are currently in chaos!"

"Very good, you can let Qian Keli make his move," Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "It's borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha anyway."

The Information Officer nodded: "I will notify him immediately!"

"Where is Xiaofu? Why hasn't he returned yet?" Chen Jiajun asked with some curiosity.

The Information Officer said: "According to what Liangchuan Shiro revealed, that FBI Detective Jack Crawford is also one of the core figures in this matter, and Xiaofu has already gone to find him!"

"Tsk!" Chen Jiajun shook his head and said: "Damn it, there are really too many dirty cops in the United States!"

Excluding the bizarre Mexico, I am afraid the place with the most dirty cops is the United States.

"As for San Francisco... are we not going to intervene?" the Information Officer said with some hesitation: "I'm afraid Qian Keli's strength is not enough to deal with the people from two gangs."

"Besides, there is the San Francisco Police Department, which I'm afraid won't be easy to deal with either!"

Chen Jiajun sneered and said: "If the Wah Ching can't even deal with the Number Gang and the Yamaguchi-gumi without leaders, they deserve to be struck off! We won't intervene in this matter; if Qian Keli can't even hold onto his own rice bowl, then he can starve to death!"

"As for the San Francisco Police Department? As long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be handled!"

The Information Officer nodded: "I understand, Boss!"

On the other side, the FBI also received news of Liangchuan Shiro's death.

Jack knew it was done by Roger, but he currently could not find any trace of the other party.

Just as Jack was at his wit's end, his phone rang.

Xiaofu's voice came from inside: "Do you still remember the night we met?"

"I only remember my partner beating your face to a pulp!" Jack said coldly.

Xiaofu sneered and said: "You've lived until today all thanks to that shot of his!"

Jack said without showing any weakness: "I've lived until today just to kill you, you bastard!"

Xiaofu said disdainfully: "Really?"

"What do you want to say?" Jack suddenly became irritable.

Xiaofu said indifferently: "See you at our usual spot!"

After speaking, Xiaofu hung up the phone directly.

Jack was silent for a moment, then got up, drove his car, and headed straight to an abandoned pier by the sea.

It was right here that he and Tom Wang raided a Yamaguchi-gumi stronghold, which led to Tom Wang's tragic death.

Arriving at the abandoned pier, Jack saw Xiaofu, who had been waiting for him there for a long time.

"I didn't expect you to actually dare to come!" Xiaofu curled his lips and said to Jack.

"Why wouldn't I dare to come!" Jack said stubbornly: "Killing you will be enough to comfort Tom's soul."

"Heh, sounds better than it sings!" Xiaofu sneered and said: "You've been chasing after this person named Roger for so many years just to alleviate your own psychological guilt, right!"

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting!" Jack was instantly enraged, immediately drew his Handgun, pointed it at Xiaofu, and roared loudly.

Xiaofu said without the slightest fear: "Whether I am spouting nonsense, you know very well in your heart! Jack Crawford! You dirty cop!"

"You... know something?" Jack's psychological defenses were immediately shattered.

Xiaofu said indifferently: "I know everything, but there is one thing I don't understand: what exactly did Silang promise to give you in exchange for the lives of Tom, Diane, and Amy? If I remember correctly, you are still Amy's godfather, right?"

"Who exactly are you?" Jack looked at Xiaofu with a face full of shock.

At this moment, he finally understood that the guy in front of him was definitely not the Yamaguchi-gumi assassin Roger.

Because he knew too many things, such as his relationship with Tom and his relationship with Liangchuan Shiro; these were not things an assassin should know.

"Who I am is not important!" Xiaofu said coldly: "Answer my question!"

Jack suddenly felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body; he slumped to the ground and said with a pained expression: "I didn't know they would send Roger to act, and I didn't know Roger was actually still alive. I thought Liangchuan Shiro just wanted to teach Tom a small lesson; I didn't expect it to turn out like this!"

Xiaofu looked at Jack mockingly: "Is that so? It was all Liangchuan Shiro's order?"

"I originally wanted to stop earlier, but..."

Jack gave a bitter smile and could not say another word.

After a moment of silence, Xiaofu suddenly drew his Handgun and aimed it at Jack: "Are you ready to atone for your sins?"

"I have been living in a nightmare for these past few years, so this is not bad!" Jack lit a cigarette, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and said to Xiaofu: "It also saves me from being condemned by my conscience."

"But I think you don't have such a thing at all!" After saying that, Xiaofu pulled the Trigger directly.

The sound of the gunshot startled a flock of seagulls, and Xiaofu put on his sunglasses and left the pier.

Just as he was about to drive away, his assassin's intuition immediately sensed that there was someone in the back seat of his car.

Xiaofu drew his Handgun and aimed it at the back seat without a second word.

"Surprisingly sharp!"

In the back seat was a woman with a shaved head; she clapped her hands and said to Xiaofu elegantly: "Mr. Roger, you are even more excellent than I imagined!"

The woman did not seem to care about the Handgun in Xiaofu's hand, but instead stared at Xiaofu's face with a look full of appreciation.

Xiaofu frowned and said: "Who are you?"

"I come from the High Table!" The woman chuckled and said: "Perhaps, have you heard of the Continental Hotel?"

Of course Xiaofu had heard of the Continental Hotel, and he had even heard that his own Boss had once blown up the Continental Hotel in New York.

With a strange expression on his face, he looked at the bald woman and said, "What does the High Table want with me? I don't believe I've ever had any dealings with you!" "Indeed you haven't, but we have taken a liking to your extraordinary skills, Mr. Rogue, and would like to invite you to join us," the bald woman said with a smile.

Xiaofu said with a look of surprise, "Just like that? You have plenty of assassins at the High Table, don't you? Is there any need to bring in a stranger like me?"

The bald woman shook her head and said, "We do have many assassins; one could say we have a monopoly on the assassin business in the West. However, we lack an expert capable of inciting two major gangs to slaughter each other in one go, and still being able to walk away unscathed."

Xiaofu was silent for a moment, then said to the bald woman, "I need some time to consider this!"

The bald woman smiled slightly, handed Xiaofu a Roman Gold Coin, and said, "If you decide, you can just find any Continental Hotel and tell the manager to notify an Adjudicator!"

After saying this, the bald woman got out of the car and disappeared into the darkness.

Looking at the Roman Gold Coin in his hand, Xiaofu put it away, then drove directly to the airport.

He had to touch base with his Boss, Chen Jiajun, about this matter.

……

At this moment in Los Angeles, inside a luxury mansion.

This was a place Chen Jiajun had bought for fifty million dollars.

Although it was not as famous as Beverly Hills in Hollywood, it had the advantage of excellent privacy and security.

Inside the mansion at this time, Chen Jiajun was chatting with Qian Keli.

Because of the infighting between the two major gangs in San Francisco, Qian Keli's Huaqing Gang had successfully reclaimed their territory in San Francisco and had even swallowed up most of the Yamaguchi-gumi's territory in one fell swoop.

In an instant, the power of the Huaqing Gang had expanded significantly.

However, Qian Keli also deeply realized how terrifying Chen Jiajun was.

Neither the 14K nor the Yamaguchi-gumi were small gangs; they were world-renowned criminal organizations.

Yet even these two massive powers were, in Chen Jiajun's hands, nothing more than chips that could be traded at will.

Therefore, this made Qian Keli appear even more humble.

Chen Jiajun said casually to Qian Keli, "Has the territory been recovered?"

Qian Keli nodded: "This is all thanks to Mr. Chen. I don't know what it is that Mr. Chen wants me to do, but as long as it is something our Huaqing Gang can do, there will absolutely be no second words."

Chen Jiajun nodded, very satisfied with Qian Keli's attitude.

After he left, Chen Jiajun prepared to rest for a while, when the Butler suddenly walked over and said, "Sir, there is someone at the door claiming to be Li Fugui here to see you!"

"Let him in!" Chen Jiajun nodded and said to the Butler.

Soon, the Butler ushered Xiaofu, who was dressed in a suit, into the living room.

After Chen Jiajun dismissed the Butler, he said to Xiaofu, "How was it? Was the revenge taken?"

Xiaofu nodded and sighed, saying, "I suppose the revenge has been taken. Anyway, I've done what I had to do!"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "As long as your conscience is clear!"

"By the way, Boss, when I was coming back after finishing with Jack, I ran into a bald woman!" Xiaofu paused and said, "She said she was from the High Table!"

"The High Table?" Chen Jiajun immediately became interested: "What did they want with you?"

Xiaofu said with a strange expression, "They really appreciate my way of doing things and want to invite 'Rogue' to join the Continental Hotel!"

"Oh?" Chen Jiajun immediately laughed: "That is rare. The High Table is actually recruiting assassins from the outside? What do you think?"

Xiaofu shook his head and said, "I haven't decided yet! Is this High Table hostile toward us?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "Not really. I blew up their hotel, and they didn't come to cause us any trouble; you could say there's a certain tacit understanding. However, I do indeed want to send someone to infiltrate them and get to the bottom of the High Table."

Xiaofu thought for a moment and said, "I can do it, but I need to go home for a while first."

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "No problem. I've pretty much finished handling things here, so come back with me!"

Xiaofu nodded; it had been almost a year since he left Hong Kong.

Having spent all that time in constant fighting and killing, Xiaofu was a bit exhausted and wanted to go home to spend time with his wife first.

As for the invitation from the High Table, he would think about it after he had rested enough at home.

As for Chen Jiajun, he was also finishing up some loose ends in the United States.

The time to return home was drawing near, and it wouldn't look good for him, a member of the Homecoming Committee, to be staying in the United States all the time.

There was still a lot of work to do back home.

So Chen Jiajun went to Yahoo, communicated with David, and had him work with Larry and Sergey to finalize the search engine matter.

As for the newly acquired Netflix, Chen Jiajun went there in person to meet with the other executives besides Marc Randolph.

To the top management of Netflix, a boss who only provides money and doesn't interfere is very welcome.

Chen Jiajun also announced in person that there would be no major personnel changes, only replacing the finance, cashier, and accounting staff with his own people; as for the operations department, he didn't touch it at all.

And what was heartening was that Chen Jiajun announced directly in front of all the company's employees that everyone would receive a 10% raise.

There is nothing more persuasive than giving money directly; Chen Jiajun's visit instantly settled the restless hearts at Netflix.

As for Marc Randolph, Chen Jiajun was very confident in leaving the company's operations to him, while also introducing him to David from Yahoo; both were under the banner of United Aerospace Capital, and it was hard to say what kind of sparks they might create.

After handling the matters in the United States, Chen Jiajun took his private jet back to Hong Kong.

As soon as he landed, Chen Jiajun was called away by Huo Yingnan.

After complaining to Chen Jiajun for a while, they began preparing for the Homecoming Committee's affairs.

Come to think of it, Chen Jiajun only held a nominal position, so logically speaking, there shouldn't have been much for him to do.

But since Huo Yingnan regarded Chen Jiajun as his successor, he put quite a bit of pressure on him.

This left Chen Jiajun feeling both amused and frustrated, and he could only bite the bullet and help Huo Yingnan.

Because Chen Jiajun had lost his temper last time, many people in the Guangdong office had been removed from their posts.

This time, there were many new faces.

The communication between the two sides was actually quite good; these people were much easier to deal with than the bureaucrats from before.

Especially during this period, both sides were putting their efforts in the same direction. (End of chapter)
