Chapter 553: Bringing Down the Price

Chen Jiajun lit a cigar and said indifferently, "Do you think your Uncle Chen here can't help with this matter?"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's inquiry, Li Wenbin could only bite the bullet and nod.

"Hmph!" Chen Jiajun puffed out two clouds of smoke from his nostrils, like a wicked dragon: "You brat really look down on me!"

"That place is England's territory after all, so..." Li Wenbin said with a frown. Chen Jiajun said indifferently, "MI6 was wiped out by my men!"

This light, airy sentence from Chen Jiajun suddenly rang in Li Wenbin's ears like a thunderclap.

Li Wenbin looked at Chen Jiajun with a face full of astonishment: "You... said what?"

"It's just as you heard!" Chen Jiajun continued: "In the late nineties, the MI6 organization suffered an attack by a terrorist organization, which led to an explosion at the MI6 headquarters. The previous leader of MI6, Madam M, was blown to death on the spot! The entire MI6 organization's information was leaked, and many Agents were killed!"

Hearing this, Li Wenbin couldn't help but open his mouth wide, unable to speak for a long time.

"Two years ago, the Austrian Prime Minister was assassinated by a bomb at the Royal Opera House in England and died on the spot. The terrorist organization Syndicate took responsibility for this, but in fact, the Syndicate was the team of M Mister, the second leader of England's MI6! Then I slaughtered him and made off with all of MI6's operational funds!" Chen Jiajun said to Li Wenbin: "Do you still think I have no way to help you move a few of your Undercover subordinates away?"

Li Wenbin was already stunned; he rubbed his head and waved his hand, saying: "Wait, let me slow down, let me slow down!"

Chen Jiajun chuckled, not in a hurry.

After more than ten minutes passed, Li Wenbin asked cautiously: "You wouldn't happen to be the leader of that mysterious Information Organization, the 'Shadow People', would you?"

"Huh? What Shadow People?" Chen Jiajun asked, stunned for a moment.

Li Wenbin explained: "It's an Information Organization active in Asia. No one knows what their organization does, and no one knows who is in their organization! Their influence spans all of Asia and has even extended to Europe and the Americas!"

Chen Jiajun thought for a moment, dialed Silva's phone, and asked: "Do we have some ghost nickname 'Shadow People' out there?"

Silva said with a smile: "Yeah, you only just found out today?"

"Damn it, what a crappy name!" Chen Jiajun couldn't help but curl his lip and hang up the phone, then said to Li Wenbin: "That must be it!"

After hearing this, Li Wenbin felt terrible: "When did you stir up such a big commotion!"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile: "Calculating the time, it's been about seven or eight years!"

"Hiss!" Li Wenbin couldn't help but gasp, looking at Chen Jiajun with a face full of horror.

In his understanding, people who could see three steps ahead for every one step taken were already formidable characters with long-term vision.

But what kind of person is someone like Chen Jiajun, who sees eight steps ahead for every one step taken, and can do it so perfectly that no one has noticed until now? A monster? Or a god?

Chen Jiajun patted Li Wenbin on the shoulder and said: "So, when your Uncle Chen says I'll back you, I don't just mean backing you locally in Hong Kong! Even abroad, with your Uncle Chen's influence, this kind of small matter is just a breeze!"

Happiness came too suddenly, and Li Wenbin was momentarily at a loss.

A matter that had been troubling him deeply could be solved by a single word from Chen Jiajun.

This gave Li Wenbin a feeling of unreality.

Chen Jiajun continued: "I can help you solve the Undercover matter, but your son's situation is likely more troublesome!"

"What do you mean?" Li Wenbin immediately became nervous.

Chen Jiajun sneered and said: "Heh, since they have already set their sights on you, how could they not make a move against the people around you?"

"They naturally have no way to deal with your old man and the others; that old fox has a very sharp eye. If they went to find him, they might even have their own bottom line exposed by your old man!"

"So, who do you think they would go to find?"

Li Wenbin immediately became agitated: "I'll go find A Hu right away!"

"Don't be in a hurry!" Chen Jiajun pressed Li Wenbin down to sit and said: "The other party isn't stupid; they certainly won't do anything to your son. Doing so wouldn't gain your support and would instead anger you!"

"What they will do now, I suspect, is use various channels to influence your son and feed him some strange viewpoints—what is commonly known as brainwashing!"

Li Wenbin's expression turned ugly: "Then... what should I do?"

Li Wenbin himself is a person with a tough personality, and his son is naturally no exception.

The communication between father and son was frank and direct; simply put, Li Wenbin's education was the old-school way: if you don't listen, you get a beating.

Added to the fact that his wife passed away relatively early, such a father-son relationship naturally couldn't be considered very good, especially given that Li Jiajun was just a student who had just left school.

Therefore, Li Wenbin himself was also in a difficult position now.

Chen Jiajun laughed instead: "It's very simple: let him go back to the mainland for a trip and be an exchange student!"

"Ah?" Li Wenbin was stunned: "It's that simple?"

"That's right, it's that simple!" Chen Jiajun nodded and said.

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "The mainland is as solid as a rock; I wouldn't even dare to mess around there! Moreover, the mainland also hopes to have young people go over for deep exchanges between both sides!"

"You are a Police family; no one is more suitable than you. And going there can help Jiajun avoid being poisoned by these guys."

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Li Wenbin began to think seriously.

Indeed, as Chen Jiajun said, his son going to the mainland had only benefits and no drawbacks for them, and it could also help his son avoid some unnecessary things; it was a win-win result.

After a moment of silence, Li Wenbin said: "I'll go back and have a good talk with that brat!"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "It just so happens I'm preparing to return to the mainland; I'll handle the paperwork and such! Let Jiajun go to the Police Academy there for some advanced training for a period of time."

"Okay!" Li Wenbin nodded: "Then... I'll leave the matter of those few Undercover to you, Uncle Chen!"

"Rest assured, if they still have ability, I will transfer them into Guojun Security Company. If they really have flaws, at worst I'll just spend money to support them! Anyway, I have money!" Chen Jiajun said casually.

Li Wenbin immediately smiled, and after bidding farewell to Chen Jiajun, he entered his father's home.

After obtaining the list from Li Wenbin, Chen Jiajun directly mobilized Information Officers in England to find a way to make the people on the list disappear.

Whether they go to Boni or Southeast Asia, it doesn't matter; as long as they get rid of the other party's control.

As for the people behind Cai Yuanqi, Chen Jiajun felt there was no need to rush. If he made a move too early, it would be more troublesome if they hid again.

A few days later, Chen Jiajun took a young lad and headed directly to the mainland.

This young lad was naturally Li Wenbin's son, Li Jiajun.

Unlike Li Wenbin's personality of not being able to let out a fart in half a day, this brat Li Jiajun appeared very talkative.

Although he seemed somewhat resistant to calling Chen Jiajun "Uncle-Grandfather"—after all, no one likes calling someone who looks about the same age as them an elder.

But this brat liked to chat with Chen Jiajun; after all, Chen Jiajun seemed very knowledgeable.

"Uncle-Grandfather, is the mainland very backward?" Li Jiajun said with some arrogance: "I heard they can't even get enough to eat; do they have the ability to conduct professional criminal investigation training?"

Chen Jiajun would not get angry at such an ignorant kid; he just said indifferently, "We'll be at Longkou in half an hour, you can go see for yourself!"

Li Jiajun could only look curiously at the other side of the sea, imagining his life to come.

After all, he had never truly seen the situation on the mainland side and had no concept of it at all.

Soon the boat stopped at the Pier in Longkou, and Chen Jiajun brought Li Jiajun ashore.

The moment he saw the port, Li Jiajun swept away all his previous negative impressions.

The development of Longkou over these past few years could simply be described as having taken a rocket.

Especially after Huaqiangbei was formally established, the Longkou municipal treasury became extremely robust, giving Longkou City enough funds to engage in infrastructure.

Of course, this was also thanks to the construction team under Chen Jiajun being sufficiently capable.

So after Li Jiajun went ashore, what he saw were straight, clean roads, towering office buildings, various vehicles driving on the road, and a massive number of people! Moreover, night had already quietly fallen at this time; it was the moment when the evening lights were just beginning to shine.

The neon lights within the city were not at all inferior to those in Hong Kong.

This left the kid Li Jiajun feeling somewhat dazed.

Seeing his expression, Chen Jiajun smiled slightly and said, "How is it? Is there a difference from the hometown you imagined?"

"This... is it all like this?" Li Jiajun said with an exaggerated expression.

Compared to the stingy, crowded, and narrow places over in Hong Kong, Longkou could truly be said to have opened his eyes.

Chen Jiajun shook his head: "How could that be? Currently, perhaps only places like Kyoto, Shanghai, Yuezhou, and Longkou have this scale; the others are still quite far behind."

Pulling the dumbfounded Li Jiajun into a car, Chen Jiajun headed straight for Shenzhou Technology in Huaqiangbei. After arriving at Huaqiangbei, Li Jiajun was even more surprised.

This place could be called the trendiest spot in the entire hometown; clothing stores, hot pot restaurants, electronic products, discos, and so on—it could be said that everything one could wish for was there.

Chen Jiajun and several major Chinese-capital Bosses did not work in vain to accelerate Longkou.

This could be said to be the most cutting-edge zone; attracting a Li Jiajun who had never seen the world was just a piece of cake.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said to Li Jiajun: "This is the result of the efforts of your uncle-grandfather and me, several major Chinese-capital Bosses, and the local government. How about it? Not bad, right!"

Li Jiajun was already unable to speak and could only nod numbly.

Arriving downstairs at Shenzhou Technology, Xu Jiawei came over to welcome Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun said casually to Xu Jiawei: "This kid is a junior of mine; find someone to take him around here!"

Xu Jiawei nodded quickly: "No problem, I'll arrange it!"

This guy Xu Jiawei had no other skills, but he was first-rate at handling social engagements.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy was conscientious and diligent, Chen Jiajun would have replaced this bastard long ago.

He certainly wouldn't have a share in being the CEO of Shenzhou Technology, but letting him handle the market shouldn't be too much of a problem.

However, that would have to wait until Shenzhou Technology was on the right track; otherwise, he had no one on hand to replace him.

After having someone take Li Jiajun to play, Chen Jiajun came to his office to hear Xu Jiawei's report.

"How are the things I asked you to handle going?" Chen Jiajun interrupted their long-winded nonsense and asked straightforwardly.

Xu Jiawei also knew Chen Jiajun's habits, so he immediately said: "The things you entrusted have been handled. All the materials are already in preparation. Those large shopping malls already have cooperation with our Shenzhou Technology, and upon hearing about your 'Little Smart' device, they all expressed their willingness to support it. However... you need to go talk to the bosses of those few large shopping malls personally."

Chen Jiajun sneered: "None of them are fools; they're waiting to see the policy!"

Xu Jiawei nodded: "In this era, the ways of doing business are getting wilder one after another; none of them are too reassured!"

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "Did you manage to make the appointments with the heads of the three major carriers I asked you to?"

Xu Jiawei immediately laughed: "They are very interested in Shenzhou Technology and intend to chat with you personally. See when you have time?"

Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then said: "In that case, set it for three days from now; I will fly over to chat with them myself."

"Understood, Boss!" Xu Jiawei quickly took out a pen and noted down the time.

Xu Jiawei had quite a bit of self-awareness regarding his own standing; he couldn't get a word in regarding the development of Shenzhou Technology.

Even if Chen Jiajun delegated power, he wouldn't be able to make anything of it.

Therefore, as long as Chen Jiajun came to Longkou, Xu Jiawei positioned himself as a Secretary.

After arranging the work, Chen Jiajun found Li Jiajun, who had already gone wild playing.

After all, young people like to play; that is understandable.

"Uncle-grandfather, I feel like there's no difference between being here in Longkou and being in Hong Kong!" Li Jiajun said in surprise: "Everything that should be there is there!"

Chen Jiajun smiled slightly: "Since you like it here, then let the first stop of your exchange student program begin here!"

"Ah?" Li Jiajun said with a look of surprise: "Right here in Longkou? You're being so easy on me! I thought I was going to suffer!"

Chen Jiajun smiled mysteriously: "Three days. I hope you can still say that after three days!"

To be honest, the police academy here in the hometown was much stricter than the police academy in Hong Kong.

Moreover, Chen Jiajun had specifically greeted Daquan Bao and stuffed this kid Li Jiajun into the Special Police Unit for training.

Li Jiajun, however, did not care and was instead very curious about everything here.

After all, the hometown here was really not at all like what some people said.

And the people here were quite friendly; Li Jiajun even made a friend he could talk to as soon as he arrived.

After sending Li Jiajun back to the hotel where he was staying, Chen Jiajun got into his car.

Daquan Bao was still wearing his huge sunglasses and said to Chen Jiajun with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I rarely see you take such an interest in someone."

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "Li Jiajun is the son of Li Wenbin, and it's a police family! Their view of the hometown is very important!"

"I know, and for that, I must thank Mr. Chen for acting as the go-between," Daquan Bao said with a serious expression.

For a long time, the attitude of Hong Kong people toward the hometown here was first fear, then contempt.

So wanting to reverse the views of these people could not be done in a single day.

Since there happened to be such an opportunity, the hometown side would also attach great importance to it.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said to Daquan Bao: "Was that kid who was talking to Li Jiajun just now arranged by you?"

Daquan Bao nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "Indeed, it was one of our special service personnel!"

"Since you've already deceived them, it's best to keep the deception going for a while longer. The three members of the Li Family are no fools; don't let them find out, or there will be hard feelings!" Chen Jiajun said indifferently.

Daquan Bao laughed and said, "Mr. Chen, although this is a small trick, there is really no need to deceive people! That kid is indeed a rather restless fellow who likes to have fun, and he will be entering the Special Police Training Camp with Li Jiajun when the time comes."

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Alright, I'm just mentioning this to you! Do not leak the matter regarding Cai Yuanqi for now. If he senses it and hides everything away, the only ones who will be troubled are us!"

"Understood!" Daquan Bao nodded: "This matter has been classified as a confidential file; Executives below the department level have no way to access the records."

"Mm, then I can rest easy!" Chen Jiajun rubbed his brow and said: "Although Hong Kong looks calm and peaceful, there are more and more things happening, and it's becoming increasingly troublesome. What I hope for are people who can help; I absolutely do not want any more people dragging me down!"

Three days later, Chen Jiajun arrived in Kyoto in person.

He began discussing this cooperation with the three major operators.

Seeing the sample device Chen Jiajun brought out, the eyes of the people from the three major operators lit up.

They felt that the little gadget in front of them would definitely be very popular.

"Mr. Chen, what about this technical issue?" one of the Supervisors asked tentatively.

Chen Jiajun smiled slightly: "Actually, this technology isn't worth much; you all should already have it in your hands!"

"Ah?" The heads of the three major operators were stunned for a moment. Chen Jiajun explained it once, and soon the three heads realized what he meant.

This was indeed not some high-end technology; they had possessed it for a long time, but it had been directly abandoned due to issues with research and development direction.

After all, more advanced technology from abroad had already emerged, and they certainly looked down on such outdated gadgets.

Chen Jiajun smiled slightly and said: "However, slightly backward technology is not useless, especially regarding the situation here at home! Not everyone can afford to install a telephone, right?"

The heads of the three major operators nodded; that was indeed the fact.

Chen Jiajun continued: "What if I can drive the price down?"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, the heads of the three major operators were startled at first, then they laughed: "How low can it go?"

Chen Jiajun did not answer directly, but instead took out the marketing plan that Xu Jiawei had prepared and handed it over.

The three of them looked at it carefully for a while, and their eyes all began to glow.

They clapped their hands one after another and said: "Good! This plan is really well-made!"

The plan that Chen Jiajun spent tens of millions to create was naturally excellent, including marketing strategies, advertising delivery, and distribution channels.

It was a project that could almost be put into operation as soon as it was taken over, which was indeed a very good thing for the three major operators.

Chen Jiajun held up a finger and said: "Furthermore, we at Shenzhou Technology guarantee that the majority of the money earned will continue to be invested in research and development, striving to catch up with advanced foreign technology!"

"Our Laboratory in Brunei has already made breakthrough progress; now we are just missing how to reduce costs and bring it to market!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's guarantee, the heads of the three major operators nodded one after another: "We have always known that Mr. Chen is an ambitious, patriotic businessman. Indeed, we cannot fall behind in technology, otherwise, just like those open foreign brands, all the money will be earned by those foreigners!"

"We need to study your plan and can give you an answer tomorrow! Rest assured, Mr. Chen, since you dare to guarantee it, we naturally won't let you down!"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile: "Then I will wait for the good news from you leaders!" (End of this chapter)
