Chapter 73: Meeting Chen Songqing

The thirty-two-year-old Dajiajie still possessed a lingering charm; given her current status, even people like Bengyaju had to address her as "Sister" upon seeing her!

Chen Jiajun strode forward to shake her hand: "Dajiajie, I am flattered. Was it really necessary to come to the pier to welcome me?"

"Let me reiterate: if you are here for the sake of Hung Hing, I advise you to turn around and leave immediately," Dajiajie said earnestly.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said: "If I were truly here for Hung Hing's affairs, how could I have brought so few people?"

"Look! I've brought quite a bit of cash this time to support your business!"

"That would be for the best, you are most welcome!" Dajiajie switched to a smile: "Follow me, the cars are already prepared."

Upon arriving at the Lisboa Casino, the Hell Knights immediately exited the vehicles and fanned out, making no effort to conceal the handguns at their waists; their postures were upright and ready for action, their eyes like those of falcons, clearly showing they were well-trained.

What drew even more attention was that each of them was carrying a black leather briefcase in their hand.

At the entrance of the casino hung a couplet:

Gambling has no guaranteed win, gamble lightly for pleasure; play with spare money, keep it for entertainment.

Dajiajie Situ Yulian introduced it: "This was written by the Ghost King, Nie Shu."

"The Nie Aotian known as the Gambling Saint?" Chen Jiajun asked with a smile.

Nie Aotian, nicknamed the Ghost King, was the man behind the Gambling King He Xin, and also the man who helped He Xin succeed.

Now, he had parted ways with the Gambling King, and the two sides were working against each other.

Chen Jiajun stayed in Macau for two full days and nights, doing nothing but gambling every day.

With Lao E there, he could easily sense the values of the cards or dice. Chen Jiajun implemented a policy of grabbing the big while letting go of the small; after losing several hands in a row, he would play a big one. In the first hour, he lost ten million, but in the last five minutes, he won it all back in one hand and even made a profit of five or six million.

At his worst point, he was left with only one hundred million in chips.

Over the two full days and nights, he finally walked away with two hundred and fifty million in Hong Kong currency.

In Macau, the gambling industry is a legal enterprise. After the black money circulated there and was settled by the Aoyu Group, it was deposited into his card, effectively becoming clean money.

In high spirits, as soon as Chen Jiajun returned to Hong Kong, he went to pick up Guan Jiahui. The two went to Central for a shopping spree before returning to their love nest in Hong Kong to enjoy their time together.

Chen Jiajun also checked Guan Jiahui's academic progress...

After all, in his past life, he was a graduate student, so tutoring Guan Jiahui was not a problem.

After checking her studies, while the two were lying on the bed panting, Chen Songqing of the Jianing Group called.

"Chen Dong, I have long admired your name."

Chen Jiajun lay on the bed, holding Guan Jiahui.

Chen Songqing said in a deep voice: "Young man, I was out discussing business the past few days, so I didn't meet with you. I wonder if you have time to come to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel tonight for a detailed talk?"

"That's fine, I also happen to want to talk to Chen Dong."

"Alright, see you there."

After hanging up the phone, when Guan Jiahui learned that it was Chen Songqing of the Jianing Group who had called him, she opened her little mouth and remained stunned for a long time.

One must know that the current Chen Songqing is absolutely a high-and-mighty existence in the hearts of all the people of Hong Kong Island.

Such a big shot actually called Chen Jiajun personally to invite him out for a meeting.

That evening, Chen Jiajun brought Dumu and several Hell Knights to the appointment. Compared to last time, there were more people and the atmosphere was more solemn. There were many bodyguards standing in the private room, each one strong and sturdy, but compared to Chen Jiajun's Hell-demon slaves, they were not worth mentioning.

Chen Songqing was short and stout, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and possessed an extraordinary air.

The reason he was seeking out Chen Jiajun again, despite Chen Jiajun not giving him face last time, was that after calculating everything, he concluded that acquiring them from Chen Jiajun was the least costly option.

Zhan Peizhong enthusiastically introduced the two to each other.

Chen Jiajun extended his hand: "Chen Dong, I have long admired your name!"

"Mr. Chen, you are young and talented!" Chen Songqing shook hands with Chen Jiajun and then made a gesture of invitation.

During the meal, thanks to Zhan Peizhong acting as the go-between, the atmosphere in the room was quite good.

After eating, everyone smoked cigars, and Chen Songqing brought up the main business:

"Mr. Chen, for the 15 million shares of Hanmei stock, I will acquire them at a 20% premium. You entered the market with 45 million Hong Kong dollars and are leaving with 180 million; you have already earned enough."

"Chen Dong, if you are truly determined to seek these 15 million shares, I think it would be faster for you to acquire them on the stock market, wouldn't it?"

Chen Jiajun offered this suggestion quite earnestly.

180 million Hong Kong dollars is definitely an astronomical figure for others, but Chen Jiajun's ambition is great, and it was far from reaching his expectations.

Besides, after Jianing acquires Hanmei and it is listed, the stock price will climb to 15.4 Hong Kong dollars per share in a short time. Even if he sells at a 20% premium now, it is only 12 dollars per share.

Why would he leave at this time?

Chen Jiajun's words directly choked Chen Songqing.

Buying stocks from private individuals is the price of the secondary market.

In the primary market, if he were to acquire them on a large scale, the shareholders would know that Hanmei's stock is valuable, and the stock price would also climb crazily in a short time, which would be a loss for him.

Chen Songqing put his smile back on and said: "Mr. Chen, I wonder what price you would be willing to let them go for?"

Chen Jiajun thought for a moment and said: "As of the close of trading today, Hanmei's stock price is 10.5. I don't want much, 18 per share."

Damn it!

In other words, Chen Songqing would need 240 million to take these 15 million shares.

The smile on his face slowly faded, and he took a puff of his cigar: "One shouldn't be so greedy, young man."

"Chen Dong, if you hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't be selling. Business is business; if we can talk, we talk, and if we can't, then so be it, don't you agree?"

A smile appeared on Chen Songqing's face again: "Young man, since you've said so, I can only say it's a pity. But be careful, if your appetite is too big, you might burst your stomach!"

Chen Jiajun responded with a smile: "Hehe, then many thanks to Chen Dong for your hospitality, I won't disturb your refined mood any further."

Saying this, Chen Jiajun stood up tall, and the Hell Knights followed one after another.

Chen Songqing shouted: "Young man, have you ever thought that with such a big appetite, you might end up not getting a single cent?"

The Hell Knights stopped in their tracks, each of them revealing a bloodthirsty look and emitting a crazy murderous intent.

Chen Jiajun did not look back and laughed, "Let's wait and see!"

Leaving the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, before even reaching Guojun Building, Chen Songqing's tactics were already being deployed; at Chen Jiajun's three venues on Hennessy Road and several venues in Wanchai, the Police were conducting surprise inspections of liquor licenses and checking identification cards!

Fortunately, Chen Jiajun's venues were as clean as could be, and the police found nothing.

……

The top floor office of Guojun Building.

Chen Jiajun, Shisimei, Jing Kun, Han Bin, and Konglong, five people in total, sat around the tea table.

Jing Kun smoked a Red Man, his voice hoarse:

"Tomorrow's Hung Hing emergency meeting feels very wrong. Feilao Li from North Point told me that Jiang Tiansheng called him over two days ago and gave him a dividend, a full five million. I asked Chen Dayu and the others privately, and they all received dividends too."

"Dividends?"

"When did this happen? How come I haven't heard of it!"

Han Bin said in surprise while eating watermelon and spitting out the seeds, and then the few of them looked at each other in dismay.
