Hong Kong variety show: Young Master Kun, the ultimate behind-the-scenes boss!
Chapter 401 A Group of Scoundrels
He smiled and added, "Of course, it can't compare to R country. Four trillion is more than forty times that of Hong Kong, but..."
Chen Ziwen looked down at Akutagawa Kaiji and patted the latter on the shoulder: "Japan is more than dozens of times bigger than Hong Kong, a tiny island, isn't it?"
Some young people had been indignant about the words of the Japanese, but didn't know how to refute them. At this time, the island nation hadn't yet been fleeced by the United States and was still brazenly trying to buy out their master's territory. Upon hearing Chen Ziwen's words, they immediately cheered loudly.
Yes, we are indeed a small place, but we have created enormous wealth.
Some even shouted, "Country R's land area is more than 300 times that of Hong Kong Island."
Akutagawa Kaiji's face was grim, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I admit I was wrong. The people of Hong Kong are indeed extraordinary. But Mr. Chen, you, the richest man in Hong Kong, are not so great. You use fakes to decorate your personal museum. In our great R country, the museums of the top tycoons would never contain fakes."
“Mr. Akutagawa, I must say, your knowledge is truly appalling. You should go and check the updates on artifacts at the British Museum,” Chen Ziwen said calmly.
"What do you mean?"
"To thank Mr. Chen for his help, the director of the British Museum, after learning that Mr. Chen really liked Gu Kaizhi's 'Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies,' informed the Queen and specially gifted Mr. Chen a piece of it," A-Jie said casually, looking at Akutagawa Kaiji with a look of disdain.
People were immediately stunned, and many looked at Chen Ziwen with admiration and even respect.
I've never heard of anyone having done all this before.
Those national treasures that were stolen back then are kept in museums by those countries as war booty, and they will absolutely not return them easily.
But Chan Tsz-man, the newly crowned richest man in Hong Kong, did it; he's even more impressive than Li Ka-shing.
Akutagawa Kaiji was so shocked he almost fell to the ground. Was Hong Kong's new richest man really that powerful? Could the high-seas gambling ship project, which was clearly taking away business from Macau casinos, be implemented smoothly?
Chen Ziwen ignored Akutagawa Kaiji. He knew that the other party was merely a pawn of the Black Dragon Society, or rather, Li Ka-shing and his associates, sent to test him. If it weren't for the reputation of his private museum, the other party wouldn't even have the right to speak to him.
He gave A-Jie a hand gesture, and A-Jie understood.
Akutagawa Kaiji, who fled in panic, rushed back to report the news, unaware that he had been targeted by A-Jie's men. Not long after, his left hand was chopped off, a warning to the Black Dragon Society.
Don't reach out your hand!
In the museum, after learning the story behind the "Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies" painting, many people applauded loudly.
As Hong Kong residents, although Hong Kong is still under British rule, everyone knows about the events of 97, and most people inherently value Chinese civilization and yearn to bring back the lost national treasures of China. Now Mr. Chen has done it, and with national treasures that most people almost dared not even hope to obtain.
Chen Ziwen smiled at everyone, about to say a few words, when a voice suddenly rang out: "I wonder when Mr. Chen will be able to buy back the other eight 'Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies' paintings?"
Many of the onlookers were elderly and experienced, and their expressions changed. Their words seemed to be full of enthusiasm and a desire for the national treasure to return home, but in fact they harbored malicious intentions.
Those stolen national treasures are not so easy to buy back.
If it were just about money, that would be fine, but some national treasures would never be sold. To those invaders, those things were both their achievements and tools for humiliating China. Sometimes they would rather destroy them than sell them to Chinese people who wanted to buy them back.
If Mr. Chen agrees to buy it back now, it will undoubtedly be very difficult, and he will ultimately be attacked for being arrogant. If Mr. Chen does not agree, it will make him seem unpatriotic.
However, the young people in the audience were inspired and looked expectantly at Chen Ziwen, hoping that he could bring the "Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies" back to the motherland.
Chen Ziwen smiled and glanced at the man. The man wore black-rimmed glasses and had a scholarly air about him, but the eyes hidden behind the glasses were full of sinister intent.
"I will work hard, and I hope you all will too. Some things are not just words, but require action. Let's start with ourselves," he said calmly.
“Mr. Chen, you haven’t answered my question yet. With your assets of hundreds of billions, buying back the ‘Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies’ shouldn’t be a problem, right? As long as you offer a high enough price, the other party will definitely be tempted,” the man with black-rimmed glasses said again.
Several young people joined in the commotion, appearing to be particularly supportive of the man with the black-rimmed glasses.
Did they deliberately come to cause trouble at their own museum?
Chen Ziwen looked around. Was it really just a few words from him? It couldn't be that simple. Could someone be deliberately creating trouble to steal the treasure?
Hongdou is currently working in her building. The plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" should be unfolding. I wonder where Ah Hai and Ah Zhan are? Are they hiding here?
"Since you're a scholar, I'll teach you a term today: 'forcing someone to do something they don't want to do.' Just like how I wouldn't spend much money to make you go naked, that's forcing someone to do something they don't want to do."
"You wouldn't throw away your dignity for money, right?" Chen Ziwen said.
"Mr. Chen, some people don't care about shame, you have to be careful," someone mocked.
"I'm disgusted."
"I can't even look at it anymore. How can there be such a shameless guy? It's an eyesore."
Chen Ziwen nodded and smiled at the tourist who spoke up for him, then said, "I'm going to wash my eyes; they're burning too."
Ah Jie shoved aside the bespectacled man who was trying to squeeze in and entangle Chen Ziwen, and escorted him away.
"Find out who's behind that person, and also warn Youlong to be on his guard," Chen Ziwen said in a low voice.
A-Jie nodded.
Back in the monitoring room upstairs, Chen Ziwen had just finished a cup of coffee when A-Jie came in and reported, "Boss, the man wearing black-rimmed glasses is named Huang Wenfeng. He was indeed acting under someone's orders, but it's unclear who ordered him. He was hypnotized."
Hypnosis?
A slight smile appeared on Chen Ziwen's lips. It was probably more than just hypnosis. Could it be someone with special abilities? He had seen most of the people with special abilities in Hong Kong movies. Could it be a bad character in some bad movie?
The door suddenly opened, and Youlong walked in. He gestured for the surveillance camera to focus on the two people.
"Boss, there's something wrong with these three people."
One was an elderly man, leaning on a cane, looking somewhat strained as he walked, and holding a magnifying glass in his hand, resembling an old scholar who was extremely obsessed with cultural relics.
The other two are both young, quite handsome, and have a refined demeanor.
"Good job, keep it up," Chen Ziwen said calmly. If Hongdou were here, the cast of "Across the Four Seas" would be complete. Youlong's ability to lock onto all three shows he put in a lot of effort.
Youlong was extremely grateful and quickly said, "Boss, shall we bring them up?"
"Just three minor characters," Chen Ziwen said casually.
To him now, those three were just small fry, petty thieves. He had plenty of capable men under his command; these three were hardly worth mentioning, let alone that old man!
"Understood." Youlong nodded and left.
The boss's message was clear: do it now! Anyone who dares to steal from the boss's private museum is asking for death!
That evening, Chen Ziwen was sitting in the car while A-Jie was driving when the car suddenly stopped.
Ah Jie said, "Boss, I'm sorry, Miss Red Bean is blocking the car."
Chen Ziwen raised his head and chuckled, "It seems Youlong didn't manage to deal with them."
Ah Jie understood Chen Ziwen's meaning: if You Long dealt with Ah Hai and the others, Ah Hai and the others would not have had the opportunity to call Hong Dou, and thus Hong Dou would not have had to plead with the boss for mercy.
He whispered, "Boss, how about I..."
At this moment, Hongdou rushed to the car door, looking at Chen Ziwen through the window with tears streaming down her face: "Boss, please spare them, I beg you, I'll do anything you want."
Chen Ziwen waved to A-Jie and then rolled down the car window.
The red beans with pear blossoms in the rain are beautiful, but not every beautiful woman has the right to do wrong.
“You’re smart and loyal. If you pretend you know nothing and continue working for my company, or take the opportunity to kill me for revenge, I’ll settle things with you tomorrow morning,” Chen Ziwen said calmly.
"Boss, I was wrong, I was wrong, please, spare them." Hongdou cried bitterly. She learned from Ah Hai's phone call that her godfather was dead, and Ah Hai and Ah Zhan were seriously injured. The worst part was that someone was chasing them, and she didn't know how much longer they could hold on.
"Get in the car," Chen Ziwen said.
Hongdou quickly wiped away her tears and got into the car.
“Drive to Lan Kwai Fong,” Chen Ziwen said.
Ah Jie drove silently.
Hongdou was filled with anxiety. What did the boss mean by that? Did he mean he was letting Ah Hai and Ah Zhan go? And what did it mean to take her to Lan Kwai Fong? Was he going to take her there?
Lan Kwai Fong.
Chen Ziwen slowly sipped his wine, while Hongdou sat awkwardly to the side, holding a glass of wine in her hand and taking small sips from time to time. Seeing that the boss didn't speak, she didn't dare to speak either, and could only drink awkwardly. Before she knew it, she had drunk too much.
"You want to get drunk and seduce me?" Chen Ziwen suddenly turned his head and laughed.
"No, no," Hongdou quickly replied, afraid of upsetting Chen Ziwen.
Chen Ziwen glanced at his watch and said, "Let's wait a little longer."
Hongdou didn't understand what the boss wanted to do, so she could only sit there awkwardly.
Soon, people began to come and go, reporting information to Chen Ziwen.
Hongdou knew that Lan Kwai Fong was owned by the boss, but knowing that was one thing, not knowing the specific daily customer flow and spending patterns, was another. Listening to the reports, she was initially frightened. The boss was so powerful; how did they end up with him? Gradually, she began to admire him, even fantasizing a little. The boss was handsome and so rich; it seemed like she had lost her virginity to him…
She even began to look forward to it.
Another hour passed, and Chen Ziwen frowned. You Long still hadn't replied, which meant that You Long hadn't captured A Hai and A Zhan yet. In that case, those two were quite capable.
