Fatty Gu immediately changed the subject.
Then, Fatty Gu asked with some doubt, "Sister Zhen, with so many important people here, Li Jun should be greeting guests at the door. Why haven't we seen him yet?"
“Fatty, Mr. Li might have had to stand at the door to greet these guests before, but from today onwards, he can sit back and wait for these guests to come to him, just like big shots like He Dong and Lei Yingdong.”
Le Huizhen looked at Mengna, who was greeting guests at the entrance of Mengzhi Club not far away, and said slowly.
at the same time.
Li Jun, who was being questioned by Fatty Gu about whether he should be greeting guests at the entrance, was on the fourth floor of the Mengzhi Club.
There were two other people in the same room as him: one was Ah Wah, and the other was Cheuk King-chuen, who was about to be promoted to Deputy Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong Island.
At this moment, a trace of surprise still lingered in Zhuo Jingquan's eyes.
Before Ah Hua brought him to meet Li Jun, Zhuo Jingquan had considered that Li Jun was the mastermind behind everything.
However, Zhuo Jingquan rejected this conjecture himself, because Li Jun's rise to power was too short-lived. Zhuo Jingquan simply did not believe that a person could grow to the point of being able to rival the British Hong Kong government in just six months.
In Zhuo Jingquan's mind, Li Jun, like him and Ahua, was also a pawn of the mastermind behind the scenes, only that Li Jun was a more sophisticated pawn than him and Ahua.
However, when he actually met Li Jun, Ahua told him that Li Jun was the big boss behind him.
At that moment, Zhuo Jingquan's first thought was that it was impossible, and his second thought was that the mastermind behind the scenes still wanted to hide himself.
However, all of Zhuo Jingquan's speculations vanished after Li Jun's single sentence.
“Inspector Cheuk, Professor Fok will be very disappointed if you come to see me alone.”
This was the first thing Li Jun said to Zhuo Jingquan after seeing him. It was this sentence that made Zhuo Jingquan realize that it didn't matter whether Li Jun was the mastermind or not. What mattered was that he was now completely under Li Jun's control.
Realizing this, Zhuo Jingquan pondered for a few seconds, then looked at Li Jun and said slowly, "Mr. Li, I have always believed in the principle that you have to give something in order to get something. If you can let me take the position of Deputy Commissioner of Police, then I believe you can also let me leave this position."
At this point, Zhuo Jing paused slightly, a smile appearing on his face: "So, Mr. Li, what do I need to give to secure my position?"
"Hahaha, Inspector Cheuk, you're very clever, but I think there's one more thing you haven't said: what price do you have to pay to become the top dog!"
Li Jun looked at Zhuo Jingquan and laughed heartily.
After hearing Li Jun's words, Zhuo Jingquan's smile widened: "Mr. Li, I've known the idiom 'wanting more after getting something' since I was a child, but I still think it's better to be down-to-earth in life."
"Inspector Cheuk, that's why I enjoy dealing with intelligent people."
After saying this with a smile, Li Jun nodded to Ahua, who was standing next to him.
Without a moment's hesitation, Ahua handed a piece of paper directly to Zhuo Jingquan.
"This is?"
After Zhuo Jingquan took the paper that Ahua handed him, he opened it and saw that it was covered with names. He couldn't help but look at Li Jun and ask curiously.
"Inspector Cheuk, this time we joined forces to take back control of the police force from the foreigners. They will definitely not let this go."
"Based on my understanding of Westerners, if the police force is in charge of Chinese people in the future, they will definitely try every means to restrict the power of the top Chinese officer."
Li Jun paused slightly at this point, then looked at Zhuo Jingquan and said with a smile, "The most effective restriction is to shorten the term of office of the top leader, changing the current five-year term with indefinite appointments to a four-year term, or even a three-year term, with only one term allowed."
"In this way, the top Chinese leader cannot be completely in control, and the Chinese will compete with each other for the top position, which indirectly achieves the goal of using Chinese to control Chinese."
Li Jun's voice wasn't loud, but every word he spoke struck Zhuo Jingquan like a thunderclap, hitting him right in the heart.
After hearing Li Jun's words, Zhuo Jingquan was immediately certain that the foreigners would do as Li Jun said.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Jingquan subconsciously glanced at Li Jun, his eyes filled with shock and awe.
At this moment, Zhuo Jingquan understood perfectly. He could understand the foreigners' thoughts to such an extent that it was no wonder they lost so badly today.
However, Li Jun ignored Zhuo Jingquan's thoughts at that moment and continued, "Zhuo sir, what you need to do is to do everything you can to promote everyone on this list I gave you."
“You should know that I own a security company called Shenlong Security. I plan to set up a security consultant position in this company. This position can earn HK$500 million in consulting fees every year. Inspector Cheuk, if you satisfy me, I can not only make you the top leader, but also keep you satisfied after you retire.”
Li Jun knew very well that simple coercion could make someone temporarily submit, but coercion combined with bribery could make someone truly convinced from the inside out.
"Mr. Li, I understand what you mean."
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, Zhuo Jingquan immediately understood his meaning and slowly nodded in response.
Continuing to cooperate with Huo Tianren would yield nothing but his theories, while following Li Jun would provide both power and money. Zhuo Jingquan hardly needed to consider the choice.
"Inspector Cheuk, it's getting late. I should go out and make my appearance. Let's go."
After dealing with Zhuo Jingquan, Li Jun said with a smile.
Then, Li Jun got up and walked towards the door of the room.
Without a moment's hesitation, Zhuo Jingquan immediately followed Li Jun out of the room.
A few minutes later.
"Mr. Li!"
"Mr. Li!"
"Mr. Li!"
……
When Li Jun arrived at the banquet hall on the fifth floor, almost everyone who saw him, whether they knew him or not, surrounded him and greeted him.
Li Jun was very polite, smiling and nodding in return to everyone, whether he knew them or not.
Soon after these 'little people' finished greeting Li Jun, the big shots from Hong Kong Island approached him.
"Ah Jun, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Bao Yugang..."
Lei Yingdong was the first to walk to Li Jun's side, and with a smile, introduced the sturdy, kind-faced old man next to him.
“Ah Jun, I’ll play old too, and call you Ah Jun.”
As soon as Lei Yingdong finished speaking, Bao Yugang immediately spoke up with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Bao."
Li Jun knew very well that Bao Yugang and Lei Yingdong were both founders of the Hong Kong Island Chinese Chamber of Commerce and had extraordinary relationships with the North.
Lei Yingdong brought Bao Yugang to see him this time, clearly wanting to further strengthen his relationship with the North.
"Mr. Li, I hope I'm not bothering you?"
Just as Lei Yingdong and Bao Yugang were about to continue their pleasantries with Li Jun, a voice interrupted.
Lei Yingdong turned his head and was slightly surprised when he saw who it was. He then smiled and said to Li Jun, "Jun, you go ahead with your work. Come find me and Mr. Bao for tea when you have time."
After saying this, Lei Yingdong and Bao Yugang turned and left.
The person who could persuade Lei Yingdong and Bao Yugang to leave voluntarily must naturally be a very famous figure in Hong Kong.
He is He Dong, the head of the He family, one of the four major families in Hong Kong.
"Mr. Li, these two are Guo Yongnian, the head of the Guo family, and Li Peicai, the head of the Li family."
He Dong pointed to Guo Yongnian and Li Peicai beside him and introduced them to Li Jun with a smile.
"Mr. Li, I have long heard of your great reputation, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you, which is a real pity."
As soon as He Dong finished speaking, Guo Yongnian immediately smiled and said.
"Mr. Guo, you flatter me. The Guo family, as one of the four great families, is truly renowned."
Li Jun replied with a smile.
“Mr. Li, new talents emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. Our four great families are a thing of the past. Now and in the future, it is your world, Mr. Li.”
After Li Jun finished speaking, Li Peicai, who was standing next to Guo Yongnian, said with a smile.
"Patriarch He, Patriarch Li, Patriarch Guo, I don't think you came to see me just to flatter this young man, right? Why don't we talk somewhere else?"
Li Jun knew very well that He Dong, Guo Yongnian, and Li Peicai were not looking for him to praise him, but to talk about Swire Group!
"Hehe, Mr. Li, as expected, nothing can be hidden from you. Then I'll leave it to you."
After hearing Li Jun's words, He Dong, Guo Yongnian, and Li Peicai exchanged glances, and then He Dong said with a smile.
"Then please, three family heads!"
Li Jun smiled.
"please!"
He Dong, Guo Yongnian, and Li Peicai followed Li Jun to a small room next to the banquet hall.
Standing not far from Li Jun, Zhuo Jingquan watched Li Jun leave with He Dong, Guo Yongnian, and Li Peicai, and was absolutely certain that he had just made the right choice.
In just six months, he suppressed the Governor of Hong Kong, ousted the Commissioner of Police, seized control of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, and even gained the initiative to curry favor with figures like Lei Yingdong and Bao Yugang from the North. He also held absolute control in his cooperation with the four major families of Hong Kong Island.
At this moment, Zhuo Jingquan was almost 100% certain that Li Jun would become the number one Chinese person in Hong Kong Island in the future. In fact, tonight, Li Jun was the number one Chinese person in Hong Kong Island!
As long as I wholeheartedly follow Li Jun, I'm sure I'll have a bright future.
While some were happy, others were sad. While the Mengzhi Club was filled with a 'happy' atmosphere, the atmosphere in Villa No. 3 in Repulse Bay was very oppressive.
In the living room of Li Bancheng's villa, the bosses of Hong Kong's four major real estate companies sat in their respective corners, looking at each other, none of them willing to be the first to speak.
The reason for this is quite simple: being a foreigner's dog means you can live happily on the dog food provided by the foreigner, but if something happens to the foreigner, the first thing they think of is cutting off the flesh of these dogs to make up for their own losses.
Tonight, Li Bancheng and others had a very simple topic: how the four major real estate companies should cut their losses to save Swire Properties, which was already in crisis.
All four people present knew this was a hot potato, so no one dared to speak up.
