Chapter 587: The Suspension of Guojun Electronics

Li Shutang saw Chen Jiajun suddenly staring blankly and said unhappily, "I'm telling you, kid, why do you always say only half of what you mean!"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "I know whose person this Cai Yuanqi is now!"

"Whose?" Li Shutang asked with a frown.

"If I haven't guessed wrong, he should be one of England's people!" Chen Jiajun said with a cold sneer.

"Another Gweilo from England? Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm not sure, but this Cai Yuanqi really needs to be investigated properly."

Li Shutang nodded: "I'll have someone look into it. What if it's true?"

Chen Jiajun gave a cold sneer and said, "Remember what I told you, that after the England Gweilo left, they would definitely leave behind quite a few nails in Hong Kong?"

Li Shutang nodded; Chen Jiajun had indeed said this to him.

Chen Jiajun sneered: "I am the one who specializes in pulling out those nails!"

At the entrance of a private club in Chai Wan, a van pulled up to the door.

The security guard at the club entrance first confirmed that there was no one around before nodding to the driver.

After the door was opened, Cai Yuanqi, dressed in casual clothes and wearing a hat and sunglasses, walked quickly into the club.

Led by a waiter, he arrived at a private room.

"We'll handle it ourselves, you can head out first!"

The person inside handed the waiter a few banknotes as a tip and shooed the waiter out.

"Cai sir, you've finally arrived!"

In the dim room sat several figures whose faces could not be clearly seen; they spoke to Cai Yuanqi.

Cai Yuanqi said irritably: "Susan, your plan is truly stupid. Chen Jiajun didn't take the bait at all, and he even used the Security Bureau to pressure us. This probing of yours has definitely made Chen Jiajun target me!"

Speaking of this matter, Cai Yuanqi was full of anger.

Originally, he could have smoothly stayed in this position for another two years, then transitioned steadily and handed the position over to the next Commissioner of Police they had handpicked.

Now that there was a variable, Cai Yuanqi felt completely uneasy.

It was as if he had been targeted by someone.

"Hasn't this already had an effect? Chen Jiajun definitely has connections with the Security Bureau!" the woman named Susan said with a smile.

Cai Yuanqi said irritably: "Connections my ass. The ones who came forward were from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and they used official channels to file a complaint. Without proof or evidence, who would pay attention to you?"

"If there's no proof or evidence, then let's make this matter a reality!" another man sneered: "We might not be able to beat Chen Jiajun in other areas, but when it comes to politics, every one of us is an expert!"

The man's words made everyone chuckle.

"What we need to do is make sure Chen Jiajun cannot intervene in this matter!" another man said with a smile: "As long as we can achieve that, we've succeeded halfway! At worst, we'll just mind our own business from now on! After all, this Mr. Chen of ours is a person who values rules very much!"

Cai Yuanqi took a sip of his drink and said: "Since you all agree, I have nothing more to say!"

Chen Jiajun was currently watching two lines: one regarding Cai Yuanqi, and the other regarding that travel company.

Since he knew the other party wanted to probe him, or wanted to see something from his attitude.

Chen Jiajun didn't mind playing a big game with them.

Over the years, there had been too many underground organizations coveting Hong Kong, first with the Gweilo from England and the United States, who intended to turn Hong Kong into an intelligence hub for the Far East.

Later came the Ether Society, which wanted to use Hong Kong as a springboard to control all criminal business across Asia.

There were even lunatics like Equator, who directly brought in a nuclear bomb, intending to control the underground arms trade in Hong Kong.

But they had all been beaten back by Chen Jiajun one by one.

This was the place where Chen Jiajun had established his footing, and after so many years, it had become his home.

Chen Jiajun would not allow anyone to stir up trouble on this land, even if doing so brought him no benefit.

So, early in the morning, Chen Jiajun diligently arrived at the company, handling necessary business while waiting for news from the Information Department.

After working all morning, just as he was preparing to have lunch.

The people from the Information Organization finally delivered the intelligence to Chen Jiajun: "Boss, we've found it!"

"What's the situation?" Chen Jiajun asked his subordinate while picking up the documents.

"Hmph!" the Information Officer sneered and said: "These bastards are selling Laundry Powder!"

"Hm? Such audacity!" Chen Jiajun's eyebrows immediately shot up: "Are you sure?"

The Information Officer sneered: "Boss, the people I mentioned earlier, although they were all big shots in the triads, they have now become marginalized figures!"

"After the triads' black businesses were heavily impacted, apart from loan sharking, all other businesses suffered severe blows. Plus, since you don't allow them to sell Laundry Powder here in Hong Kong, fearing they'll be caught by you, they joined forces to use the mainland as a springboard to conduct this business."

After hearing his subordinate's words, Chen Jiajun immediately believed it three-tenths.

After all, after the triads in Hong Kong had been purged by him, those who should have changed professions did, and those who should have died were long dead.

The remaining people had no ability to make money and were accustomed to living a life of debauchery.

Now that their income couldn't keep up with their spending, they naturally started having crooked thoughts.

For example, the "highly profitable" Laundry Powder.

Chen Jiajun frowned and said: "How are they operating? How could you guys not have discovered it?"

The Information Officer gave a bitter smile and said: "These guys are very cunning; they never transport the Laundry Powder to Hong Kong, but do it in the mainland where we can't supervise!"

"Oh?" Chen Jiajun was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected these guys to actually set their sights on the mainland.

However, Chen Jiajun sneered in his heart; soon these guys would know that selling Laundry Powder in the mainland and being caught by him were actually no different.

Either way, it was a death sentence!

Anyone caught selling over fifty grams would be taken directly to the firing range to be executed.

After all, the mainland could be said to be the country with the most powerful anti-drug enforcement in the world.

This group of guys was no different from courting death.

Originally, Chen Jiajun did not need to expend much effort on this matter; they were capable of bringing about their own destruction.

However, Chen Jiajun was anxious to inquire about Cai Yuanqi, so he rubbed his chin and thought of a way to give things a push.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiajun picked up the phone and dialed Daquan Bao's number: "Are you free? Let's grab a meal together!"

Daquan Bao was a bit stunned, not knowing why Chen Jiajun would suddenly reach out to him.

But since Chen Jiajun had come to him personally, it certainly wasn't a trivial matter, so Daquan Bao said without a second thought: "Sure! Are you coming to find me, or should I come to you?"

"I'll head to Shatoujiao in a while; let's meet at the usual spot!" Chen Jiajun said, then hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Daquan Bao said to his assistant: "Xiao Chen, cancel the meeting this afternoon!"

"Ah? Director Shi, today's meeting is very important!" Xiao Chen said with a conflicted expression.

Daquan Bao gave a cold snort: "Important, my foot. Holding meetings every day is not as practical as thinking about how to deal with those motorcycle robbers or catching a few more pickpockets!"

Hearing Daquan Bao say this, Xiao Chen dared not argue and could only go to deliver the notice with a bitter face.

As for Daquan Bao himself, he put on his sunglasses, drove his SUV, and rushed toward Shatoujiao.

An hour later, Daquan Bao saw Chen Jiajun waiting for him at that old-fashioned teahouse.

After parking the car, Daquan Bao smiled and said to Chen Jiajun: "How do you have the time to treat me to tea!"

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "I have a credit to offer you, but it's a bit troublesome! I want to ask if you want it!" Daquan Bao did not speak, merely picking up the document bag Chen Jiajun had pushed over.

After reading it, Daquan Bao was furious, slammed the table, and shouted: "Such audacity!"

One must know that although Daquan Bao is a deputy.

In reality, his authority is even higher than that of an ordinary department-level official.

After all, Daquan Bao is in charge of these triad forces in Hong Kong.

And incidentally, maintaining stability in Hong Kong's underworld.

Now, someone had actually started a laundry powder business right under his nose, and not even in Hong Kong, but in Yuezhou; this was equivalent to riding on his face and attacking him.

The most infuriating part was that Daquan Bao wasn't the first to know about this, but was informed by Chen Jiajun; where was he supposed to put his face?

So Daquan Bao turned red with rage on the spot; if Chen Jiajun hadn't still been there, he likely would have taken people to make arrests right then and there.

Seeing Daquan Bao's state, Chen Jiajun said with a hint of amusement: "Don't be so anxious, this matter isn't simple!"

"Hmm? There's more to it?" Daquan Bao's eyes were almost popping out.

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "According to reports from my subordinates, this travel company also has intricate ties with the current Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong."

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Daquan Bao couldn't help but gasp: "Are you telling the truth?"

Although the Hong Kong Police Force is different from the Mainland, some things are still connected.

If the head of the Police Force has a problem, that is not something that can be solved by just executing a few bastards selling laundry powder.

Chen Jiajun sneered and said: "Otherwise, why do you think I wanted to tip you off first? They are just a few triad scumbags; if I sent someone over, wouldn't their triad boss personally tie them up and deliver them to you?"

Daquan Bao's expression turned gloomy: "No, this matter is too big; I can't shoulder it! I must report it upward!"

"Of course, this matter also requires the cooperation of the police back home!" Chen Jiajun nodded and said.

Daquan Bao's eyes rolled, and he said: "Why don't you come with me?"

"No, if I go, the nature of the matter will change!" Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said: "I am only providing you with intelligence; I can handle the affairs here in Hong Kong, but I will not interfere with matters back home!"

Chen Jiajun's identity is very sensitive, which prevents him from participating in any political matters.

After all, he holds a massive information organization in his hands; although it is tacitly permitted and he has rendered great service, being able to reach this point is already the limit of what that elder in his family could achieve.

Therefore, Chen Jiajun having such restrictions is actually not a punishment, but a form of protection.

Chen Jiajun is very clear about this himself, so he maintains a very clear restraint regarding such matters.

Otherwise, with the talent he has under him, would he need to resort to befriending Li Shutang or supporting Li Wenbin? He would have long since filled the Hong Kong Police Force with his own people, and even eyeing the Three Secretaries and Thirteen Bureaus would not have been impossible.

Although Daquan Bao did not understand the ins and outs, he understood that he could not force Chen Jiajun, so he changed the subject: "Then what do you plan to do?"

"It's very simple!" Chen Jiajun sneered and said: "Give them a big deal they can't refuse! Lure these people out first! Once they are in our hands, are we afraid they won't open their mouths?"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Daquan Bao quickly pondered the feasibility of the matter.

A moment later, he put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Fine, I will go to report it first; I will notify you as soon as there is news!"

Chen Jiajun nodded, then paid the bill and turned to leave.

Cai Yuanqi and the others did not know that Chen Jiajun's revenge against them had already begun.

They were currently conducting their second probe.

And this probe was regarding the Guojun Electronic Company under Chen Jiajun.

This company had previously been manufacturing arcade machines and slot machines for Chen Jiajun, but in recent years, with the gradual decline of arcade machines, it had begun to transition to OEM manufacturing for electronic products from Shenzhou Technology.

By all accounts, it was a perfectly normal company, but it had recently been targeted.

The reason was a proposal put forward by a Legislative Council member, amending the Gambling Ordinance proposed in 1891 and the supplement to the 1950 amendment.

There were detailed regulations regarding electronic gambling, and then Hong Kong's largest electronics company, Guojun Technology, became the first target of investigation.

However, these officials did not seem like they were there to investigate; instead, they seemed like they were there to find fault.

They immediately cut off the power to Guojun Electronic Technology in Yuen Long and ordered Guojun Electronic Technology to stop work.

This infuriated the person in charge of Guojun Electronic Technology, who started arguing with these officials on the spot.

"You damn idiots, will your government department compensate us for the impact caused by our work stoppage, including the liquidated damages we need to pay for breach of contract?"

The person in charge of Guojun Electronic Technology was also from the Lu family, under the direct responsibility of Lu Yongyu.

So, not only did they have no fear of these officials, they directly rode on their faces and launched an attack.

Saliva sprayed onto the faces of these officials, leaving them with no choice but to wipe it off and swallow their pride.

But they did not say a word about the request to resume work.

Regarding these members of the investigation team, the person in charge was so angry that he wanted to resort to violence.

Fortunately, he was stopped by Lu Yongyu, who had arrived just in time.

For these past years, Lu Yongyu has been busy with some of the businesses under Chen Jiajun.

The level of importance is no less than that of those trusted aides.

It can be said that she is a very important capable assistant to Chen Jiajun.

Under Chen Jiajun's intentional tempering, Lu Yongyu has also acquired a bit of the temperament of a strong woman.

She rushed over wearing a professional outfit and immediately scolded the employee who was preparing to use violence against the judicial police: "Stop!"

"General Manager Lu, you've come just in time. These guys have something wrong with their brains; they are holding groundless certificates and demanding we stop work and production!" the person in charge from the Lu family said to Lu Yongyu with a look of grievance.

Lu Yongyu raised her hand, interrupting his words, and walked up to the official: "Are you the one who ordered the power to be cut to our Guojun Electronic Technology?"

"I... we have court documents." The leading official was intimidated by Lu Yongyu's aura, and his speech became somewhat stuttering.

Lu Yongyu took the document, looked at it, then nodded and said to the person in charge from the Lu family: "Stop all the machines in the factory."

"General Manager Lu!" The person in charge from the Lu family did not expect that Lu Yongyu would really let the factory stop production.

Lu Yongyu said coldly: "Did you not hear what I said?"

"Yes!" Although the person in charge from the Lu family was extremely unwilling, he still glared at those officials before turning and leaving.

A moment later, Guojun Electronic Technology was officially shut down, and the roaring factory buildings all fell silent.

Lu Yongyu continued to say to the person in charge from the Lu family: "Go back and tell the fellow villagers that this period of production stoppage counts as a break for them, and their wages will be paid as usual!"

"Ah? But... this will cost a lot of money!" The person in charge from the Lu family said with some heartache.

Lu Yongyu sneered and said loudly on purpose: "Rest assured, someone will pay for the losses from this work stoppage!"

After hearing this, those officials immediately became somewhat uneasy.

Lu Yongyu continued: "Also, go back and notify the accountants and finance department to pay out all the money for the breaches of contract that should be compensated! Not a single cent less! Have them calculate the factory's losses as soon as possible!"

Lu Yongyu's resolute and swift actions made the person in charge from the Lu family seem to see some clues.

Without saying any more nonsense, he went directly to handle matters according to Lu Yongyu's instructions.

And those officials who demanded that Guojun Electronic Technology stop work and production were already breaking out in cold sweat at this moment.

It was clear that Lu Yongyu intended to blow this matter up! (End of chapter)
