Chapter 596: Wolf Culture

The next day, news of the Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force resigning spread.

However, this had nothing to do with ordinary citizens; after all, it was common for the person in the top spot to change.

Yet, within the Police Force, it caused a huge uproar.

Especially for those in the Administrative Department, they were all trembling with fear.

Relying on Cai Yuanqi and Li Maike previously, they had frequently suppressed personnel from the Operations Department.

Now that both backers had fallen, the successor was almost certainly going to be Deputy Commissioner of the Operations Department, Ceng Xiangrong.

They were all afraid of being purged by the Operations Department, led by Ceng Xiangrong.

Fortunately, with such an incident occurring in the Police Force now, stability was the most important thing.

After Ceng Xiangrong was appointed as Acting Commissioner, he did not make any adjustments within the Police Force.

He focused more on stabilizing the operations of the Police Force to ensure no problems arose.

The only thing he did was promote Li Wenbin.

Because of the incident at the West Kowloon Police Station, the entire station had suffered a massive blow, so Ceng Xiangrong promoted Li Wenbin to Chief Superintendent to handle matters at the West Kowloon Police Station.

Ceng Xiangrong's rise was something many had not expected.

Cai Yuanqi had left too suddenly, and Li Maike was under investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Indeed, they could not let the Police Force lose any more face, so choosing Ceng Xiangrong was a helpless measure.

After all, Ceng Xiangrong had no faction and his leanings were not clear.

Whether it was Lu Minghua or those England nails hidden in the shadows ready to stir up trouble at any time, he was not a very good choice.

But as the saying goes, they had no other choice now.

However, Lu Minghua knew more than others.

He dared to bet that Cai Yuanqi was definitely ousted by Chen Jiajun.

Although he did not know what method Chen Jiajun used, ousting a Commissioner of Police was enough for Lu Minghua to develop a sense of vigilance toward Chen Jiajun. Because if Chen Jiajun could oust a Cai Yuanqi today, could he oust another one tomorrow? What if the next Commissioner of Police was not to Chen Jiajun's liking? Even if Chen Jiajun was Deep Red, Lu Minghua had to be on guard.

This was his job!

So the next day, Lu Minghua personally sought out Chen Jiajun.

Although his words expressed approval for Chen Jiajun, he simultaneously hinted that Chen Jiajun was meddling too much in political matters.

Chen Jiajun looked helpless; he knew that if he meddled in such things, there would be endless trouble.

But there were some things he had to do!

Now it was done, and having aroused Lu Minghua's vigilance, Chen Jiajun had to make his stance clear.

"Director Lu, shouldn't the new Commissioner of Police be appointed by the Chief Executive? What does that have to do with me!" Chen Jiajun spread his hands and said helplessly: "I am just a businessman, and I have many other things to be busy with!"

"Oh?" Lu Minghua did not expect Chen Jiajun to be so sensible; Chen Jiajun was prepared to back off just because he had brought it up, so he smiled and said: "I was just asking casually!"

Chen Jiajun said with an exaggerated expression: "To be honest, I am currently overwhelmed; there is an investment in the United States waiting for me to handle, and I estimate I will leave Hong Kong for the United States very soon!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Lu Minghua immediately laughed: "The money of the United States Gweilo is not easy to earn; Mr. Chen being able to build such a deep foundation in the United States is something many people envy!"

"It's exhausting work!" Chen Jiajun sighed.

After chatting with Lu Minghua for a while, he sent this guy out of his company.

Watching Lu Minghua's back, Chen Jiajun couldn't help but sigh: "Ilsa, notify the private jet; I am preparing to go to North America."

"Boss, you don't plan to manage the Brotherhood's affairs anymore?" Ilsa said with a smile.

Chen Jiajun sighed helplessly: "The top guy has already come to warn me, so I might as well go out for a trip!"

"Boss, you are truly complicated!" Ilsa shook her head and said.

In Ilsa's view, with Chen Jiajun's current power, what would it matter even if he meddled in Hong Kong's politics? There was simply no need to avoid suspicion like this and wrong himself.

"You don't understand." Chen Jiajun shook his head and said: "I don't want to have a conflict with that side! I have already asked Wei Li and Su Xingbai to slowly transfer the Guojun Group's assets to Brunei; I estimate that in the future, it will be centered in Brunei!"

"I understand, Boss!" Ilsa nodded and turned to leave Chen Jiajun's office.

Chen Jiajun stood before the huge floor-to-ceiling window of his office, overlooking the entire Hong Kong, and then muttered to himself: "Reaching this position, one still cannot avoid being suspected! Sigh!"

……

When Chen Jiajun headed to the United States, he did not notify anyone.

He only brought his personal bodyguard Dumu, and then headed to New York.

Nearly a year had passed, and the plan Chen Jiajun had set previously had matured.

It was time for the harvest.

And as that guy Jordan Belfort became increasingly inflated, if he didn't harvest now, he estimated he would end up in trouble right along with him.

He heard that FBI agents were already eyeing him; it was time to end this farce.

United Aerospace Capital had a branch in New York that had always been tepid.

Compared to United Aerospace Capital in San Francisco, it did not have any particularly dazzling performance.

However, with Cao Weicai in charge, at least there had been no investment losses in these few years.

Learning that Chen Jiajun had arrived in New York, Cao Weicai came to pick up Chen Jiajun personally.

"How have things been lately?" Chen Jiajun looked at the rounder Cao Weicai and said with a smile: "You've put on some weight too!"

Cao Weicai said somewhat embarrassedly: "You know, it's hard not to put on weight with the diet here in the United States!"

"Have time to go to the gym and lift some iron!" Chen Jiajun smiled and patted Cao Weicai, then they returned to the Xiushui Capital office together.

After sitting down, Cao Weicai tentatively asked: "Boss, is it time to wrap things up with Jordan Belfort?"

Chen Jiajun looked at Cao Weicai amusedly and said: "You can't stand that guy either?"

"Damn it, that guy's nickname is spot on: Wall Street Wolf!" Cao Weicai said somewhat speechlessly: "I don't even dare to say I know this guy anymore!"

That guy Jordan Belfort had inflated severely over this past year.

He bought a luxury mansion, got divorced, and married a high-status model; it was said she was a descendant of a duke.

He lived a life of extravagance and debauchery all day long, not even bothering to hide it from anyone.

He had also led his company to become something like a madhouse.

Moreover, his audacity grew ever greater; unsatisfied with the profits brought by penny stocks, he even played all sorts of shady tricks to frantically amass wealth in the stock market.

But it must be said that this guy was capable enough; relying on a drug dealer and a few relatives, he laundered his illegal earnings very cleanly.

The Securities and Exchange Commission and others wanted to find trouble for him, but had no way to start.

Two days later was the day of the SCAM public offering, and Chen Jiajun had been waiting for this opportunity for a full year.

After all, an IPO requires going through various procedures, no matter where it is. "Just when Jordan Belfort is at his most triumphant, send him to Hell!" Chen Jiajun said with a cold sneer: "Is everything prepared?"

Cao Weicai said with a smile: "This is absolutely one of the most classic scams in history! When the time comes, we'll make these greedy bastards on Wall Street suffer a silent loss, and they won't even be able to find trouble with us! Hehehe!"

On the day of the SCAM public offering, Jordan Belfort was awakened by his model wife with a glass of cold water.

The two had a quarrel at home, and after fiercely disciplining his wife, he got up and headed to the company.

The smooth sailing of the past few years had not only made him accustomed to a life of luxury, but had also made him addicted to drugs.

In his own words, drugs were things that could keep his mind focused.

After changing into a suit and arriving at the company, he met his deputy, Chenny Azoff.

Jordan said to Chenny: "Today is an important day; everyone here should be a bit more excited, a bit more stirred up! Everything must go according to plan! Understand?"

"Of course!" Chenny said with a smile, appearing very excited himself.

However, while the two were talking, Jordan saw a young kid in the company wearing a bowtie, who was cleaning a fish tank.

This immediately made Jordan unhappy, and pointing at the kid, he said: "What is this kid doing? What is he doing? The biggest IPO in the company's history, and what the hell is he doing?"

Chenny, this lackey, understood and immediately walked toward the young man cleaning the fish tank.

"Are you cleaning the fish tank?" Chenny said coldly to the young man.

The young man stammered: "I was just taking a break, I..."

"You can take a break! So you're cleaning the fish tank today?" Chenny wore a fake smile on his face.

"I finished my paperwork, I thought I could take a break." Sensing that Chenny's tone was off, the young man explained immediately.

"Good, good, good!" Chenny smiled, then suddenly changed his expression and roared at the top of his lungs: "On the day of the issuance?"

As he spoke, he rushed straight up, smashed a cigarette butt into the young man's face, and roared: "You son of a bitch, why are you doing this on the day of the issuance? Did you just come here to do this?"

The young man was so frightened he could barely speak, and he hurriedly tried to dodge.

Chenny grabbed the young man's fish tank and stomped it onto the office desk, shouting: "Everyone listen up! You play with pets on the day of the issuance, and this is the outcome!"

As he spoke, Chenny scooped the goldfish directly out of the tank and swallowed it down his big mouth.

Seeing Chenny swallow the goldfish, a cheer erupted in the office.

Chenny walked up to the young man with the fish tank and slapped him: "Take your bowtie, pack your things, and get out of the office, understand?"

Jordan also roared along: "Get out!"

After teaching the young man a lesson, Chenny said to the people around: "Get to your stations, we are here to make money!"

The young man was humiliated like this, but no colleagues spoke up for him.

Some even took out paper balls and threw them at the young man.

After all, this place had already been turned into a wolf den by Jordan Belfort and his subordinates.

The so-called wolf culture was just like this. As long as the subordinates could eat meat, they didn't care if the upper management were good people or bad!

Soon, Xu Jiawei and the crowd from Wall Street arrived at the Stratton company.

Today was the SCAM issuance day, so they had to be present.

But privately, Jordan had bought ninety percent of the shares in Xu Jiawei's hands from Xu Jiawei. Of course, legally speaking, this was absolutely not allowed.

After all, issuers have too many ways to drive up the stock price. Jordan Belfort and his small group could take this opportunity to make a fortune! However, this was also part of the plan; Xu Jiawei did not refuse Jordan Belfort and Chenny Azoff, but instead looked at the two, who were also full of excitement, with some pity.

They didn't even know that Chen Jiajun wanted to use them as scapegoats.

To pit them and their peers on Wall Street to death.

The reason Jordan Belfort could succeed was because he had the ability to brainwash people. Facing the issuance day speech, he delivered a highly inflammatory message.

"See the little box in front of you? This thing is called a telephone. A telephone won't dial itself, just like a gun filled with bullets has no soldier to pull the trigger."

"My well-trained Strattonites, my killers, my uncompromising killers! My Warriors! You will never hang up the phone! Your clients will either buy the stock or die!"

Following Jordan's words, the people in the office cheered as if they had gone mad.

Jordan smoothed his hair, stood on the podium again, and said into the microphone: "Let me tell you one thing: in this world, being poor is not glorious! I've been rich, and I've been poor, and every time I choose to be rich!"

"Because at least when I have money, even if I face difficulties, I am sitting in the back seat of a luxury car, wearing a two-thousand-dollar suit and a forty-thousand-dollar watch!"

As he spoke, Jordan took off the gold watch on his hand and threw it down into the crowd.

At this moment, the people in the office were like wolves fighting over flesh and blood.

They even hissed and bit at their own companions! Jordan was very satisfied with the state of his subordinates and continued: "If someone thinks I'm shallow or materialistic, then go find a job at McDonald's! That's where you belong!"

"But before you leave this room full of winners, I want you to take a good look at the person next to you, because in the near future, you will be stopped at a red light driving a beat-up old car, while that person will be parked next to you in a brand-new Porsche!"

"Sitting next to them is a beautiful girlfriend with a heart of gold, and who is next to you? A disgusting old cow who hasn't washed her hair in three days, wearing a sleeveless shirt, with a car full of groceries bought from a discount supermarket? That is who is next to you!"

"So listen to me, listen well! Do you have credit card bills you can't pay? Great, pick up the phone and start dialing! Is your landlord about to kick you out? Great, pick up the phone and start dialing! Does your girlfriend think you're a useless piece of trash? Great, pick up the phone and start dialing!"

"I want you to use money to solve all your problems!"

"What you need to do today is pick up the phone and dial! Say the words I taught you, and I can make you richer than the vast majority of CEOs in the United States!"

"I want you to shove SCAM stock down those clients' throats until they choke to death! Buy one hundred thousand shares, that's what I want you to do! You must be vicious, you must be cold! You must be terrorists on the phone!"

Let's get started!"

As Jordan Belfort's voice fell, everyone began to dial the phones frantically.

Xu Jiawei, watching from the side, along with other Wall Street investors, could not help but click their tongues in amazement.

"These guys are a bit too crazy!" a certain Wall Street investor could not help but mutter to himself: "But doing this is indeed very inspiring!"

Xu Jiawei said with a smile: "It seems we have found a suitable manager!"

"Although a bit crazy, it is indeed effective!" Watching the number of transactions constantly rising on the screen, another Wall Street investor could not help but nod.

In just a few short hours, the stock price of SCAM reached its first limit up.

This was a result that satisfied everyone.

Xu Jiawei and the Wall Street investors did not stay long at Stratton; after seeing the situation before them, they left with satisfaction.

And after the investors had all left, Donnie rushed into Jordan's office with a few bottles of champagne and laughed wildly: "Twenty-two million earned in three hours! Can you believe it? I love it to death, it's too crazy!"

Jordan and his subordinates were all celebrating wildly.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, this stock had already risen from its offering price of 4.18 dollars to 18 dollars! Even people from many large companies were scrambling to get in on it!

This is nearly a fivefold profit; it is hard for anyone not to be tempted. (End of chapter)
