Chapter 532: Li Er Gongzi

"Damn it! This goddamn Gweilo!" Chen Jiajun tore off his tie and roared quite irritably.

Wei Li said with trepidation: "Boss, what on earth is going on! It seems this Gweilo has already found a buyer?"

"Definitely, otherwise this guy wouldn't be so tough!" Chen Jiajun said coldly: "Have the Information Organization check for me, who exactly is this secret buyer!"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's instructions, Wei Li immediately contacted the Information Organization.

Chen Jiajun's Information Organization was divided into two parts; one part, the commercial spies, was under Wei Li's jurisdiction.

These were all talents cultivated by Silva or searched for from various places.

They were not skilled at other work, but they were very adept at commercial matters.

Chen Jiajun loosened his collar and smoked a cigarette to calm down.

He suddenly thought of a key piece of information.

It was impossible for the mainland to let just anyone get their hands on Cable and Wireless; if he could get news from the mainland side, he might be able to quickly find this person.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiajun immediately dialed a phone number.

Previously, Chen Jiajun had taken the mainland's banks to give Soros a sound thrashing, so Chen Jiajun had a good relationship with some bank presidents over on the mainland.

Thus, he contacted them one by one and finally found some clues.

"Xiao Chen! By rights, I shouldn't be shooting my mouth off about this! But someone pointed out that you are too overbearing in your business dealings and complained about you to some leaders. That's why I didn't notify you about this matter! You don't need to ask me who it is; I can't say!" A certain bank president said this to Chen Jiajun in a sincere and earnest tone.

Chen Jiajun almost bit his teeth to pieces! The person who said this was one hundred percent from the Hong Kong Local Faction, and had a grudge against him.

This could only help him narrow down the scope.

But this was enough; since the other party had sought connections on the mainland, it meant they had some relations, but it did not mean the other party had the money.

Chen Jiajun only needed to find that guy before the other party raised the funds required for Cable and Wireless.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiajun said to Wei Li again: "You can narrow the scope down to the Local Faction businessmen!"

Following Chen Jiajun's order, the people from the Information Organization, like startled donkeys, frantically searched for that secret competitor.

This matter was too big; wanting to hide it was impossible.

There are no airtight walls in the world.

Only a few days later, Wei Li found Chen Jiajun and said with a look of surprise: "Boss, we have already found that person!"

"Who?"

"Li Er Gongzi!"

"This guy again?" Chen Jiajun was somewhat surprised.

Previously, also because of the Cable and Wireless affair, Chen Jiajun had given this guy a sound thrashing.

He just didn't expect that after a few years had passed, he would dare to jump out again.

And what Chen Jiajun didn't expect was that this guy had actually managed to establish connections on the mainland.

Wei Li continued: "I found out that this Second Young Master is currently applying for loans from major banks everywhere; it is estimated there are thirty in total!"

"Hah! Trying to play the white wolf with empty gloves?" Chen Jiajun immediately understood what this Second Young Master wanted to do.

It wasn't as if this kind of operation hadn't happened before; for instance, his old man was the most skilled at this trick.

He just didn't expect that after experiencing the kidnapping incident last time, this Second Young Master would actually have the posture of the student surpassing the master.

And he wasn't as sloppy as before in his work; the concealment was done very well.

At the very least, it took even Chen Jiajun three days to track him down.

After pondering for a while, Chen Jiajun said to Wei Li: "Did the major banks agree to provide the funds?"

"This kind of thing, before the dust settles, is definitely not something outsiders would know," Wei Li said, spreading his hands.

Chen Jiajun pondered for a while and said to Wei Li: "Find a way to check for me, which bank is providing him with the largest loan amount? If he wants to reach an agreement, it definitely won't be a small sum of money."

Wei Li nodded: "I understand! But Boss, aren't you going to talk to that Second Young Master?"

Chen Jiajun said somewhat helplessly: "Times have changed; this guy probably won't see me."

"Ah? Why?" Wei Li said with some surprise.

One had to know that even the Second Young Master's old man wouldn't easily refuse an invitation from Chen Jiajun now.

Chen Jiajun said somewhat embarrassedly: "Before, this kid's mouth was too foul, so I found people to kidnap him and extorted one billion from his old man! Although I didn't do it myself, those kidnappers were indeed found by me, and the Li Family might know it was my doing!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Wei Li was speechless for a moment.

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said helplessly: "So, let's just start from the banks!"

Wei Li nodded and hurriedly left Chen Jiajun's office.

The next day, Fanling Golf Course.

Chen Jiajun was playing golf, which was a rare occurrence.

And the only person with enough face to make this happen was Mr. Liang, the person in charge of Citibank in Hong Kong.

This person in charge was a big shot; a few years ago, Citibank's headquarters offered him an annual salary of over twenty million US dollars to go to New York to serve as Vice President. No one would refuse such a good thing.

But as it happened, this Mr. Liang actually refused just like that.

And the reason was that this job required giving up his nationality and immigrating to the United States.

One must know that in this era, many people hoped to obtain United States nationality.

Yet this Mr. Liang refused very decisively.

"Nice shot!" Mr. Liang saw Chen Jiajun hit a birdie and immediately applauded: "A-Jun, you still say you don't usually play; I think your golf skills are quite good!"

"Not at all, Mr. Liang, you flatter me!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

After the two finished playing, they sat in the hotel lobby to rest for a while.

Mr. Liang took the initiative to say: "I heard that you set up an investment company over in the United States called United Aerospace Capital, A-Jun?"

"Just playing around; I earned quite a bit over in the United States, but if I bring it back, I have to pay huge taxes, so I might as well just invest it casually!" Chen Jiajun said modestly.

Mr. Liang smiled and said, "Excessive modesty is arrogance! Who in the investment world hasn't heard of the great name of United Aerospace Capital? Just incubating a Yahoo is enough to make you famous across the United States!"

"Mr. Liang, if you say it like that, you're going to spoil me!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

Mr. Liang suddenly said, "I heard that you, A-Jun, used to be a client of Citibank? Why aren't you continuing to cooperate with Citibank?"

Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Chen Jiajun immediately laughed: "There's no help for it; my businesses are, after all, over in Los Angeles."

"There are Citibank branches in Los Angeles, too!" Mr. Liang said jokingly: "I won't be staying at Citibank for much longer, and before I leave, I intend to pull in a big client for my old employer!"

Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and said, "It's not that it's impossible; I do indeed have the idea of wanting to develop in New York, but I've encountered a little matter recently, so I might not have the time!"

A flash of light passed through Mr. Liang's eyes, and he then smiled and said, "What kind of matter have you encountered? We're all our own people; let's see if there's anything I can help with?" Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "It's the matter regarding Cable and Wireless!"

"Lacking funds? That shouldn't be, right?" Mr. Liang said, somewhat puzzled: "With your financial strength, A-Jun, the acquisition shouldn't be a problem at all!"

"It wouldn't have been a problem originally, but it became one once there was a competitor." Chen Jiajun said with a bitter smile: "The chairman of Cable and Wireless, Graham Wallace, that cunning fellow, used a bidding war between both sides to put me in a very passive position!"

Mr. Liang immediately reacted: "Is it with that second young master of the Li Family?"

"That's right, that's exactly the reason!" Chen Jiajun nodded.

At this, Mr. Liang became somewhat troubled: "But... the second young master has already reached an agreement with Citibank; I'm afraid this matter is difficult for me to handle!"

Chen Jiajun did not continue this topic, waved his hand and said, "If it's too difficult, then forget it. Let's talk about the matter in New York; I'm preparing to set up a Hedge Fund on Wall Street, and I wonder if Mr. Liang could help out? After all, I'm unfamiliar with the place!"

This was a condition for exchange that Chen Jiajun had proposed.

On one side, the second young master wanted a Loan; on the other, Chen Jiajun wanted to invest.

Mr. Liang should be very clear on how to choose.

"I need a little time." After thinking for a moment, Mr. Liang said to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun smiled and nodded: "That goes without saying!"

After finishing their conversation, Chen Jiajun changed his clothes and left the hotel.

"There shouldn't be any problems with Citibank now; who is the next one?" Chen Jiajun asked.

Wei Li looked at the list and said, "It's HSBC."

"HSBC..." Chen Jiajun shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Let's forget about HSBC; in any case, we only need to disrupt most of this second young master's Loans!"

Wei Li nodded: "Shall we continue then?"

"Mm! Continue!" Chen Jiajun said indifferently.

For several days in a row after that, Chen Jiajun was meeting with the heads of various banks in Hong Kong.

And his methods were simple and crude: he just used money to smash them.

He had a lot of liquid capital in his hands, and it truly needed a place to go.

Since that was the case, what wasn't an investment? It could also be used to strike at his opponent; it could be called killing two birds with one stone.

In a short period of time, Chen Jiajun had spent at least over eight billion.

This caused Chen Jiajun's reputation as a "dispenser of wealth" to spread out.

Moreover, Chen Jiajun's condition for investment was very simple: it was to disrupt the second young master's Loan plan.

Therefore, a few days later, this news reached the ears of the second young master.

"Damn it! That bastard Chen Jiajun!" The second young master was so angry that he smashed everything on his desk, breathing heavily.

He had not expected that his secret operations would still be discovered by Chen Jiajun.

And the other party's counterattack was so precise; it hit him right in his weak spot.

Hearing the commotion inside the office, a man pushed the door open and walked in; seeing the messy scene in the room, he frowned and said, "Second young master, what's going on?"

"Damn it, it's that bastard Chen Jiajun again!" The second young master felt extremely aggrieved at this moment and said to the man: "This guy found the banks we had previously approached and made them stop lending to me."

"Hm?" Hearing the second young master's words, the man's expression became grave: "Then that means the other party must have discovered this matter?"

"Mr. Yuan, what should we do now?" The second young master looked at the man before him, feeling lost.

This man called Mr. Yuan was the second young master's Staff Member.

He was originally one of his father's men, but later defected to work for the second young master.

Someone who could be sent by the comprador Li to the second young master's side as a Staff Member was certainly no ordinary person.

Furthermore, this Mr. Yuan also had some understanding of the grievances between the second young master and Chen Jiajun, so he asked directly.

The second young master calmed down a little, nodded and said: "Chen Jiajun has immense power in Hong Kong; I'm not surprised he could find out about this, but I didn't expect his actions to be so swift."

After listening, Mr. Yuan said quite helplessly: "Then I don't have any better methods either! After all, that is Chen Jiajun; let alone us, even your old man might not be willing to offend him!"

"But... Cable and Wireless is what I had my eye on!" The second young master said quite angrily: "This person acts too tyrannically!"

Mr. Yuan glanced at the second young master and said: "I heard you filed a complaint against him before, but clearly that was of no use! When dealing with this kind of person, you'd best not play any little tricks; you'll be the one to suffer!"

The second young master was speechless; he knew best what he himself had done.

However, he said with great unwillingness: "Are we just going to give up like this?"

"Do you have that much money?" Mr. Yuan said with a moment of speechlessness: "These banks in Hong Kong refusing to lend you money means Chen Jiajun has already sealed off all your possibilities. However... it's not that it can't be negotiated!"

"Hm?" The second young master's eyes lit up immediately: "You have a way?"

"What is Chen Jiajun's purpose in insisting on buying Cable and Wireless?" Mr. Yuan asked.

The second young master shook his head blankly: "I don't know either; logically speaking, he shouldn't be short of money! Recently, when Soros invaded Hong Kong, he made a huge profit!"

Mr. Yuan nodded: "That's right, his fundamental idea is not the same as yours. He's not doing it for money; it's very likely for the shares of Hong Kong Telecom within Cable and Wireless!"

"Analyzing based on the things this person Chen Jiajun has done over these years, this guy is a pure leftist; he wants Cable and Wireless simply so that the telecom industry doesn't fall into the hands of others."

The second young master was not a fool, and he quickly reacted: "You mean to say that there is still room for negotiation in this matter?"

Mr. Yuan nodded: "That's right, but the prerequisite is that you bow your head."

"I bow my head? On what grounds?" The second young master's eyes widened immediately.

Mr. Yuan spread his hands and said: "Right now, Chen Jiajun occupies an absolute advantage; if you don't bow your head, don't even think about getting a share of the pie. What we need to do now is bow our heads and, incidentally, drink the soup behind him."

Faced with Mr. Yuan's proposal, the second young master struggled for a long time.

Because of the kidnapping incident last time, he still has psychological trauma now.

Although no matter how they investigated, the kidnapping incident had nothing to do with Chen Jiajun.

But both he and his old man knew it must have been Chen Jiajun who caused it.

Now they actually want him to bow his head to Chen Jiajun? He cannot swallow this anger.

It is just that after so many years of experience, the Second Young Master is no longer the Young Master he once was, increasingly leaning toward becoming a mature businessman.

After struggling for a long time, he still compromised.

So the next day, the Second Young Master and Mr. Yuan still sought out Chen Jiajun.

"Boss, the Second Young Master of the Li Family has brought a Mr. Yuan to see you!"

Chen Jiajun's private Secretary Ilsa knocked on his door and said to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun raised his head, smiled, and said to Ilsa, "The Second Young Master of the Li Family? This is interesting! Invite them to the conference room first!"

Ilsa nodded, then turned and left. (End of chapter)
