Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

At this moment, in a small auction company, Fu Guang swaggered into the office and met a woman.

This woman is the owner of the auction company, named Li Nan.

On the surface, this guy runs an auction business, but in reality, he's a smuggler of national treasures.

In particular, they maintained very close ties with some tomb raiding gangs in mainland China.

It can be said that all the cultural relics transported from the mainland passed through her hands.

However, Li Nan has been having a tough time lately. Several news reports have surfaced in mainland China about tomb raiders being arrested, and the authorities have begun to crack down on such matters.

This means that her business will soon be unable to continue.

That's why she targeted a ruthless bandit like Fu Guang, intending to pull off a big heist.

“Fu Guang, I have already examined the batch of cultural relics that you had someone get from above. They are all in good condition and there are no problems. I have already started contacting buyers, and they are very interested in the goods we have.”

Li Nan said to Fu Guang with a smile.

As a local bigwig in Hong Kong, she wouldn't have been able to make this business work without a sufficient network of connections.

However, his smile today seemed somewhat malicious.

Fu Guang said in surprise, "Aren't you afraid of attracting the police by being so ostentatious?"

Li Nan nodded: "Therefore, the auction will be held on the high seas."

Running a business on the high seas has become almost the safest way for people in Hong Kong's underworld to operate.

Firstly, the UK and China are currently at odds over Hong Kong, and even if it is returned to China, it will be several years from now.

Secondly, Hong Kong is located by the sea and has a developed economy. If you want to do something without getting the police involved, the high seas are undoubtedly the best choice.

After all, the high seas are not under the jurisdiction of any country and are therefore not bound by the laws of any country.

However, this statement is both true and false, since it is not bound by the laws of any country.

But there is still international law, and no matter where you are, you are still bound by international law.

According to the interpretation of international law, states have the right to intervene in and govern international crimes against human interests and certain activities that violate international law on the high seas.

The entities under its jurisdiction were mainly engaged in piracy, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and so on.

In practice, it is quite difficult to implement. The common interpretation is that a ship can be regarded as a mobile territory.

Only the country where the ship is registered has the right to manage this matter.

However, it is quite troublesome to collect evidence when doing these things at sea.

Unless the country where the ship is registered is extremely bored, who would care about such a trivial matter?

"The countries that have the ships in international waters have been dealt with?" Although Fu Guang was crazy, he was still knowledgeable and immediately asked the most important question.

Li Nan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've taken care of all that. The boat is registered in Myanmar."

"And everyone coming will have to bring cash, or Swiss bank drafts. The money on the ship will be an astronomical figure. Hahaha."

Upon hearing Li Nan's words, Fu Guang said with a strange expression, "Aren't you afraid someone will come and steal it?"

"I'm afraid, so I'll strike first," Li Nan said flippantly.

Fu Guang burst into laughter and said, "Great! I love being a thief; it's more interesting than doing business."

Li Nan sneered and said, "Hmph, how much money can you get from selling national treasures to others? We'll just take them all in a bit, then wipe them all out on the high seas. Then we'll burn the ship too. Nobody will know."

Li Nan was still talking about his ambitions and aspirations, unaware that Fu Guang, standing beside him, shared the same thoughts.

Fu Guang clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Big sister, you really have a knack for this! Hahahaha!"

Li Nan then turned to Fu Guang and warned, "But you have to be careful too. The police in the mainland have started to pay attention to you, and they plan to send an undercover agent to infiltrate your circle. You need to be careful."

"An undercover agent?" Upon hearing Li Nan's words, Fu Guang immediately became alert.

While Gong Wei was working with Fu Guang's team, Chen Jiajun was also busy.

His intelligence department was highly efficient and quickly tracked down Li Nan, an ally of Fu Guang.

Although we haven't been able to find out where they hid the artifacts, knowing the location of the transaction is enough.

"Boss, now that we know who's behind this, why don't we just arrest Li Nan?" one of the subordinates asked, puzzled.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "No, those cultural relics are too precious. What if they find out in advance and destroy them? I'd rather handle this matter more carefully."

"Then what should we do, boss?" the subordinate could only ask.

Chen Jiajun thought for a moment and said, "Here's what we'll do: get me two invitations, and I'll take Lao Yu with me. Anyway, the bombs Fu Guang has are all fakes. Once we're on the ship, we can have Guo Jun's mercenaries pick us up."

The intelligence officer immediately nodded and said, "Yes, boss, I'll take care of it right away."

After his men left, Chen Jiajun dialed Yang Jianhua's number.

"Mr. Chen, is there anything I can help you with?" Yang Jianhua asked, somewhat puzzled.

Chen Jiajun thought for a moment and said, "Section Chief Yang, what crime do you think these guys who traffic in national treasures would be convicted of in mainland China?"

"This is probably a trip to the firing range," Yang Jianhua said to Chen Jiajun after a moment's hesitation.

Chen Jiajun raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What about those people involved in the reselling?"

"That's probably more than ten years ago," Yang Jianhua said, somewhat puzzled. "Why are you asking about these things?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "If this goes smoothly, I can not only bring back all those national treasures, but I can also arrest all the people involved in the resale. What do you think, Section Chief Yang?"

Yang Jianhua was stunned: "No, Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this?"

"It means exactly what it says," Chen Jiajun said with a sneer. "None of these people who sold national treasures will escape."

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Yang Jianhua was overjoyed.

This incident happened in Hong Kong, so in principle, the mainland shouldn't interfere too much.

But judging from Chen Jiajun's words, there is a way to bring these people back to the mainland?

If that's the case, then these people will be used as a "chicken to scare the monkey."

This should teach those rampant tomb raiding and cultural relic trafficking gangs in mainland China a lesson.

At the same time, it can also show those people the country's determination to crack down on such behavior.

“If Mr. Chen can bring these people to the mainland, the organization will never forget your contribution,” Yang Jianhua blurted out.

However, she may not be of a high enough rank to access some important matters.

They had no idea how much Chen Jiajun had already done for the country. He had handed over the list of MI6 spies all over the world. This was nothing compared to this.
Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Section Chief Yang, the main reason I did this is because I am Chinese. As for the rest, they are dispensable."

Yang Jianhua said with amazement, "Mr. Chen truly lives up to his reputation as a patriotic businessman. His awareness is indeed quite high."

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "It's just average, nothing compared to Mr. Huo and the others."

Chen Jiajun himself is a left-wing businessman, so he naturally knows what major things left-wing businessmen did back then.

My own achievements are nothing compared to what others have accomplished.

After all, what's more important than adding flowers to brocade? Providing charcoal in the snow.

"Anyway, I'm just letting you know in advance. I'll send the person directly to Longkou, and you can just send people over to arrest them," Chen Jiajun said to Yang Jianhua.

Yang Jianhua immediately replied, "Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll be waiting for your call anytime."

"By the way, Gong Wei asked me to ask about his wife and children." Chen Jiajun said with a frown, "Gong Wei said his wife's health isn't very good."

Gong Wei did indeed ask Lao Yu to tell Chen Jiajun to ask around when he had time.

Yang Jianhua said with a smile, "His wife has been sent to the Capital Hospital. Her health is not good and she will probably need to recuperate for a while. As for his son, that clever little devil, I will definitely be able to take him to and from school every day myself."

"That's good." Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Then I won't disturb your work any longer."

After communicating with Yang Jianhua, his subordinates delivered the invitation the next day.

Chen Jiajun took Lao Yu directly onto a yacht bound for international waters.

Li Nan is quite experienced in handling things; he took these buyers to the edge of international waters before transferring them to another ship.

In this way, even if the other party has made some arrangements on the ship in advance, there is not much that can be done.

Soon the yacht was out of the open sea, and the group saw a cargo ship moving slowly. The transaction was to take place on the cargo ship.

Everyone was there to buy things, so no one fussed too much, and they all boarded the ship under the arrangement of Li Nan's people.

Once on board, Chen Jiajun saw Gong Wei, disguised as a staff member. "Mr. Chen, why did you come here in person?" Gong Wei said anxiously, "I might not be able to guarantee your safety."

In Gong Wei's opinion, Chen Jiajun, this big boss, is just messing around in a place like this.

When he arrests people, he'll have to be distracted protecting them.

Chen Jiajun naturally understood Gong Wei's meaning, and chuckled as he said to Old Yu beside him, "Old Yu, this bastard looks down on you."

"That's not what I meant, I..." Gong Wei was about to explain.

Then he saw Old Yu reach out and grab him.

Although his movements were slow, no matter how Gong Wei adjusted his position, he seemed unable to escape the old prisoner's large hand.

"This." Gong Wei was shocked on the spot, as he had seriously studied martial arts.

The master was even a master of Bajiquan.

But in front of Old Prison, he didn't even have a chance to resist before Old Prison grabbed his wrist.

"Kid, shut up." Old Yu released him and said in a deep voice.

No one is allowed to bring weapons on board today, including Li Nan's men.

So if something really happens later, Lao Yu and Chen Jiajun's safety is definitely not a problem.

Soon, the group arrived at a cabin where Li Nan had arranged for a security checkpoint.

A pair of security guards stood at the entrance, responsible for maintaining order and checking invitations.

After everyone successfully passed through security, they arrived at the spacious cabin.

Meanwhile, inside the ship's cabin, various national treasures were piled up, stolen from China through unknown channels.

This amazed the buyers who boarded the ship.
After all, these things are genuine national treasures.

Each and every one of these artifacts carries the weight of history.

Even someone who knows nothing about these things can tell at a glance that these artifacts are extraordinary.

"Damn it, they even took down the murals?" Chen Jiajun gasped as he looked at the contents of the cabin.

The smugglers of cultural relics from the mainland are incredibly resourceful. They transported these bronze tripods, murals, and bronze axes, weighing several tons, all the way to Hong Kong.

As the buyers were examining the national treasures, a slightly overweight woman walked onto the central auction platform and announced loudly to the surrounding buyers, "Ladies and gentlemen, the auction will begin in five minutes. Each bid will be in increments of fifty thousand US dollars."

"The first item for sale this time is the Eastern Han Dynasty pottery storyteller figurine, which is number one in your handbook."

Then a security guard pushed the car over and displayed it in front of everyone.

The auctioneer then announced the starting price: "The starting price for this item is 230,000. Please place your bids."

As soon as the auctioneer spoke, a very arrogant guy immediately raised his paddle: "Five hundred thousand."

Immediately someone else followed up with a bid: "Five hundred and fifty thousand."

"Six hundred thousand."

"Six hundred and fifty thousand."

The price of the first item soared, quickly reaching the three million mark.

Three million US dollars is no small sum, no matter where it is.

"Three million! Has anyone bid more than three million?" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.

However, the price has reached its limit.

Just as the auctioneer was about to bring down the gavel, a voice suddenly came from above everyone's heads: "I bid one hundred million."

Upon hearing the price, everyone turned to look at the person who made the offer.

This price is clearly designed to cause trouble.

Then, Fu Guang, accompanied by two henchmen, appeared from the second floor. He said arrogantly, "I'll sell everything here by myself."

The guy who made the first bid was clearly a wealthy collector; he said with a disdainful look, "You're buying them all? What makes you think you can?"

"Good question." Fu Guang slapped the railing with a manic expression, then laughed at the crowd and said, "I've already planted bombs all over this place. Is that enough?"

Upon hearing this, the buyers immediately panicked.

They then turned to Li Nan, the person in charge of the auction, and asked, "What's going on, Li Nan?"

Li Nan panicked on the spot. Fu Guang, that bastard, came out to cause trouble at this time, which was clearly different from what they had agreed on before.

Fu Guang then said directly to Li Nan, "Answer them, I am your partner."

"What did you say?" Li Nan seemed even more flustered.

She still planned to make a living in Hong Kong, and didn't want to be like a bandit like Fu Guang.

She originally planned to take action after the auction ended, eliminating them one by one cleanly and efficiently, without anyone knowing.

But after Fu Guang's outburst, if even one of these people goes back, she will suffer a terrible death.

"Tsk." Fu Guang shook his head and said, "Can't you see? You're double-crossing me. Look what I put in your pocket?"

Li Nan paused for a moment, then immediately reached into his pocket.

A very strange device was discovered, and its outer shell was made of glass.

"Hehe, here's an A for you."

As he spoke, Fu Guang pressed the A button on the detonator in his hand.

Instantly, the bomb in Li Nan's hand exploded, blasting the auctioneer and Li Nan on stage to pieces, causing the buyers to scream in terror.

Gong Wei, who was mingling in the crowd, was stunned. He turned to Chen Jiajun, who looked perfectly normal, and said, "Mr. Chen, didn't you say the bomb had been switched?"

Chen Jiajun said irritably, "Are you stupid or am I? How could we fool anyone if they were all fake? Don't worry. Except for the bomb he used, I've replaced the others."

Chen Jiajun clearly wouldn't joke about his own safety, so Gong Wei decided to wait and see.

After all, he knew that although the ship was supposed to belong to Li Nan, it had been completely taken over by Fu Guang's men.

Fu Guang said to the buyers below the stage with a smug look on his face, "I have just demonstrated it very clearly. It would be best if you cooperated with me and handed over all your money."

Nobody's a fool. Fu Guang himself is still on this ship, so he certainly won't detonate the bomb directly.

Someone shouted, "Everyone, let's run!"

The buyers were thrown into chaos, running around like headless flies.

The smarter ones found the passage to the hatch directly, while the less intelligent ones simply shrank back and hid under the table, trembling with fear.

Unfortunately, Fu Guang had already made preparations.

The security team was almost entirely composed of his men, and they tried to flee when they saw the buyers.

He grabbed his baton and started smashing it down on them without warning, sealing the hatch shut.

Seeing that everyone's escape routes were blocked, Gong Wei knew that he had no choice but to take action.

Once everyone is under control, it will be even more difficult for him to move.

So Gong Wei went straight to the nearest thug and knocked a security guard to the ground with just a few punches.

Seeing that a "traitor" had appeared among the crowd, the people simply abandoned the buyers and rushed towards Gong Wei.

Gong Wei truly lived up to his reputation as a disciple of the grandmaster of Bajiquan; even three or five thugs couldn't get close to him.

Faced with this group of guys rushing at him, Gong Wei, relying on the panicked crowd around him, even managed to fight with ease, and in less than three minutes, all the security guards were down.

Seeing the obvious attempt to sabotage the situation with flattery, Fu Guang clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Well done, very well done! I suspected you were a policeman from the mainland before, but I didn't expect you to actually show up. Wouldn't it be better to keep your dog's life and go back to being a policeman? Why did you have to jump out and seek death?"

Gong Wei wasn't angry; instead, he smiled and said, "It would be even better if I could take you back. Apart from the bomb on Li Nan, I secretly defused all the other bombs."

Fu Guang was furious and took out the remote control to press the button.

This action startled his two henchmen, who immediately dodged away.

But Fu Guang scoffed, "Look at you two cowards. Do you really think I'd believe him? You want me to die with you? Dream on."

"If you don't believe me, try detonating one yourself," Gong Wei said calmly. (End of Chapter)
