Chapter 531: No Gate to Hell

Led by the driver, Pa Ge and his group soon arrived at A Jie's territory.

Before they could even enter the door, they were blocked by a group of burly men.

The driver immediately said, "I'm here to see Brother Jie; I've brought him a deal!"

The burly man clearly recognized the driver, took a look at Pa Ge and the others behind him, and said, "Mainland gangsters?"

"Who cares who we are, as long as there's business to be done, right?" the driver said impatiently. "Stop the nonsense, do you want me to go talk to Brother Jie myself?"

After a moment of silence, the burly man stepped aside.

Pa Ge was very annoyed with this burly man, so he deliberately slammed his shoulder into him, looking completely lawless.

After entering the gate, they were inside A Jie's factory.

However, this place didn't deal in arms; it was a canned food workshop.

The workers inside were rushing to pack the cans into crates and ship them out.

Guided by the security guards in the factory, the group arrived at the office on the upper floor.

In the office, A Jie was enjoying red wine and a cigar. Seeing guests had arrived, he stood up: "Hey, Feng Zai, long time no see!"

Pa Ge's driver was named Deng Feng; although he wasn't involved in the triads, he was a famous underground street racer.

He had raced against A Jie a few times, and they got to know each other over time.

"Brother Jie, I've brought you some business!" Deng Feng smiled and hugged A Jie, then introduced him: "This is my Big Brother, Pa Ge!"

A Jie glanced at the group behind Deng Feng, a strange look flashing in his eyes, but he quickly recovered, smiling broadly as he said, "Pa Ge, is it! I've heard so much about you!"

Pa Ge shook hands with A Jie and said coolly, "I heard you're the biggest arms dealer in Hong Kong, and you have everything here?"

"Feng Zai is exaggerating; how could I be considered the biggest arms dealer!" A Jie said with a humble expression. "But my inventory is quite complete!"

Hearing this, Pa Ge raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm interested in having a look!"

As he spoke, he opened his briefcase, revealing bundles of cash inside.

The smile on A Jie's face became even more enthusiastic as he said to Pa Ge, "A big deal! This way, please!"

With that, A Jie immediately led the group to pick out some arms.

Pa Ge also liked this straightforward way of doing business and followed A Jie out of the office.

After walking through the workshop, they arrived in a warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with all kinds of arms, all hidden in the false bottoms of crates.

"Take a look at this, the RPG-7. It can be dismantled into two parts for easy carrying. Most importantly, it's cheap and durable!"

A Jie picked up an RPG and said to Pa Ge.

"Not bad!" Pa Ge nodded; the gear in A Jie's hands was indeed complete.

A Jie picked up another weapon and said with a smile, "This thing is quite temperamental, the RG-6 six-shot grenade launcher. With this in hand, no matter what is blocking your way, you can blow them straight to heaven!"

Afterward, A Jie introduced several other high-powered heavy weapons, then said to Pa Ge, "Pa Ge, are you satisfied?"

Pa Ge nodded: "What about guns!"

"For guns, look at this! Authentic United States-made M16s, the firepower is more than enough!" A Jie continued to introduce.

"What's the price?" Pa Ge seemed somewhat tempted.

"Six thousand dollars each!" A Jie said with a smile.

"Why don't you just rob us?" Pa Ge's underling was shocked when he heard the price.

A Jie spread his hands helplessly and said, "I know it's expensive, but that's how United States goods are! Otherwise, take a look at the cheaper ones: AKMs, six thousand Hong Kong Dollars each! Cheap and durable!"

Pa Ge pondered for a moment and said, "I'll take these, give me six. Also, two RPG-7s and two six-shot grenade launchers. Calculate the total! And how do you sell the bullets?"

"Straightforward!" A Jie immediately took out a calculator and started crunching numbers: "I'll throw in two magazines for each gun... bullets are fifty bucks a round. With all this, it's sixteen thousand total! Do you bosses want to test the guns?"

"The price is fair enough, let's test the guns first!" Pa Ge nodded and said.

"Good, follow me to the shooting range, I'll have someone bring the bullets over!" A Jie said with a smile.

As an arms dealer, bullets were never kept with the guns; that was the rule of the trade.

Clearly, the few fierce bandits had dealt with arms dealers often enough to know this rule, so they didn't say anything more.

After arriving at the shooting range, A Jie had someone bring over a few magazines.

Then, after personally loading a gun, he suddenly aimed the muzzle at Pa Ge and his group.

The expressions of the men changed instantly.

Especially Deng Feng, who immediately said to A Jie, "Brother Jie, don't point the muzzle at your own people!"

"Your own people?" A Jie revealed a mocking smile and said, "Who the hell is one of your own people?"

Pa Ge said with a gloomy expression, "What do you mean? Planning to break the rules?"

"Pfft, a mainland gangster talking to me about rules?" A Jie said disdainfully. "I've been watching you for a long time, you idiots! You didn't even bother to ask what my relationship is with Chen Jiajun."

"Trying to buy arms from me to go after my brother? I think you really don't know how to write the word 'death'!"

Hearing A Jie's words, the men's faces turned deathly pale.

Especially Deng Feng, who looked at A Jie in disbelief and said, "You're brothers with Chen Jiajun?"

A Jie said flippantly, "Didn't expect that, did you! Hahaha! Idiots!"

A fierce look appeared on the faces of Pa Ge and the others; they were fierce bandits, so they certainly wouldn't just surrender.

They roared, "Fight them to the death!"

Although the men only had a few small handguns, they intended to put up a desperate fight.

As for what happened after, they would worry about that if they survived.

A Jie had known their identities for a long time, so how could he not have prepared in advance? His two subordinates immediately pulled open a box on the table; once unfolded, it became a bulletproof shield large enough to cover the whole body, blocking it in front of A Jie.

The bullets from Pa Ge and his men's small handguns only sparked against the shield.

And at this moment, the gunmen who had been waiting on the second floor, each holding a Bujiang, opened fire on Pa Ge and his men.

The powerful firepower turned Pa Ge and the others into a sieve in just an instant.

Including Deng Feng, not a single person managed to escape. After the gunfire ceased, A Jie looked at the few people on the ground who looked like broken dolls, fanned the air in front of his nose, and instructed his subordinates: "Clean up the scene."

Afterwards, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Jiajun's number.

……

Upon receiving A Jie's call, Chen Jiajun was suddenly caught between laughter and tears.

He hadn't expected that a few idiots like Pa Ge would plan to stir up trouble and actually go after A Jie.

"We're brothers, so I won't say thank you! Once I'm done with this period, I'll find you for a drink!" Chen Jiajun said, then hung up the phone.

He then said to the Information Officer beside him: "No need to keep watching Pa Ge anymore; this guy has already been taken out by A Jie. Withdraw the men!"

A Jie taking care of Pa Ge was also a good thing for Chen Jiajun.

He truly had no time to deal with those fierce bandits right now.

Because news had come from Wei Li that the chairman of Cable and Wireless, Graham Wallace, had finally relented.

This meant that Chen Jiajun's plan was very likely to be achieved.

During this time, he had been meeting with the senior management of Cable and Wireless along with Wei Li.

Because Cable and Wireless had already reached a preliminary agreement with Singapore Telecom.

They intended to sell Cable and Wireless to the Singaporeans.

"Heh, these English Gweilo are also stupid!" After hearing Wei Li's description, Chen Jiajun actually calmed down immediately: "To think they would use this kind of news to bluff people!"

Wei Li's eyes widened in disbelief as he said to Chen Jiajun: "Boss, do you mean this guy Wallace is lying? But... how is that possible? I did see them reach a preliminary cooperation!"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "It's also because I was too anxious, otherwise this Wallace definitely wouldn't have used this method! You were completely played by this Gweilo!"

"Although Cable and Wireless is an English company, don't forget the nature of the company! The telecommunications business isn't something they can just sell whenever they want! This concerns the livelihood of Hong Kong!"

"Ah?" Wei Li was a smart man and reacted quickly: "You mean... the home country might not agree?"

Chen Jiajun sneered and said: "Of course. If they want to sell, they can only sell to the people of Hong Kong or the home country; there is simply no third option!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's explanation, Wei Li frowned and said: "Then should we just leave him hanging for now?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said: "No, just because there are no foreign competitors doesn't mean there are no local Hong Kong competitors! As far as I know, quite a few people are still very interested in Cable and Wireless, especially those merchants from the Gweilo faction!"

"One doesn't even know if these people are human or ghosts; if such an important industry were sold to them, we wouldn't have a chance at all. As for my subsequent plans, it would simply be making wedding clothes for others!"

Wei Li was suddenly stunned and simply gave up on thinking: "This won't work, that won't work, Boss, what do you say we should do?"

After all, Wei Li did not have Chen Jiajun's far-reaching vision, so he simply acted as an honest executor.

Chen Jiajun rubbed his chin in thought, then made a call to the home country.

After stating his concerns, the comrades at the Longkou Office immediately reported it up through the levels.

A few hours later, they called Chen Jiajun back: If Chen Jiajun wanted to acquire Cable and Wireless, the home country could provide full cooperation.

Having received this promise, Chen Jiajun suddenly laughed.

In another timeline, the Li Family, those fence-sitters, could receive support, so why couldn't he, a Deep Red capitalist? Thus, he said to Wei Li: "Alright, the matter is settled. Tomorrow, come with me to see this Wallace again!"

Wei Li nodded and said to Chen Jiajun with an admiring look: "Boss, your vision is truly amazing! I estimate that not many people will be able to compete with us now!"

How many telecommunications companies are there in Hong Kong in total? Although the bosses behind them can also be called tycoons, how can they compare to Chen Jiajun? One must know that the English Gweilo are in a hurry to cash out Cable and Wireless, and what they want is cash.

To put it bluntly, how many people in all of Hong Kong can come up with such a large sum of money?

……

The next day, Chen Jiajun and Wei Li met with Wallace.

Both sides appeared very polite, especially this Graham Wallace, whose manners were refined and courteous, with a smile always hanging on his face, and his hospitality was beyond reproach.

After Wei Li stated their purpose, Wallace chuckled and said: "Regarding this matter, I can only say I'm sorry! We have already reached a preliminary agreement with Singapore Telecom; you two have come too late!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Chen Jiajun said with a smile: "But I don't think you have any way to sell Cable and Wireless to the Singaporeans!"

Looking at Chen Jiajun's confident expression, Wallace's brows immediately furrowed: "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "Mr. Wallace, let's stop beating around the bush! You and I both know that your deal with the Singaporeans is impossible to achieve! Because my home country won't allow it, and if they don't allow it, your Cable and Wireless won't be sold!"

Wallace had not expected that his intentions would be seen through by Chen Jiajun so quickly.

He sighed and said: "No wonder others told me that Mr. Chen is the most shrewd businessman!"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile: "So let's not waste time, just give us a quote! I think your board of directors is also anxious to cash out their shares and leave!"

Wallace suddenly looked at Chen Jiajun with sharp eyes and said: "That's right, Mr. Chen, you are absolutely right! But why should I sell Cable and Wireless to you? You never seem to be friendly to us!"

"Ha!" Chen Jiajun laughed: "Are you prepared to talk to me about political stances? A businessman talking to me about stances? Are you sure your board of directors won't tear you apart? Especially at this time?"

Wallace said very calmly: "If I don't sell to you, there will naturally be others to take over!"

"Is that so?" Chen Jiajun picked up the documents handed over by Wei Li and said indifferently: "The deal you Cable and Wireless are discussing with the Singaporeans is 18 billion USD. How many people in all of Hong Kong do you think can afford that price?"

This strike from Chen Jiajun hit Wallace's soft spot hard again.

Just as Chen Jiajun said, many tycoons in Hong Kong might have this net worth, but how many are willing to pay this money?

Wallace continued: "Alright, if you are willing to pay this price, I think we can talk!"

"That's impossible!" Chen Jiajun flatly rejected this price and said coldly to Sir Wallace: "This is not an honest price; you are playing commercial extortion! In my opinion, Cable and Wireless is absolutely not worth this price!"

"Is that so?" Wallace also laughed along: "You wanted me to quote a price, I gave you a price, and you are not satisfied! Then I think there is nothing left for us to talk about!"

When Wallace said this, he seemed to have the situation well in hand.

Seeing this guy's attitude, Chen Jiajun was also a bit surprised.

Clearly, this guy seemed to have already found a buyer.

And this buyer was also Ahong Konger! Today, he had shown all his cards, yet he still hadn't forced this guy to submit; clearly, something had happened in between that he didn't know about.

A talk was definitely not possible today.

Chen Jiajun and Wei Li simply stood up to take their leave.

But after Chen Jiajun and Wei Li left, Wallace, this Gweilo, picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said: "Second Young Master, I think we need to have a good talk about the price!" (End of chapter)
