Hong Kong variety show: Young Master Kun, the ultimate behind-the-scenes boss!

The former richest man actually took the opportunity to make a huge profit through buying and selling, revealing his true capitalist nature!

Some people consider Chen Ziwen a chivalrous businessman, a knight-errant among businessmen, while Li Ka-shing is simply a capitalist tainted by money. They are not comparable at all.

Repulse Bay.

Li Ka-shing's residence.

Many bigwigs sat together, looking at the Li family, secretly amused.

They were doing the same things Li Ka-shing did, and they made a lot of money from it, but Li Ka-shing bore all the blame. It was really comfortable for them to benefit without having to take responsibility, which suited their interests perfectly.

The second son, Li Zekai, snorted coldly, "A bunch of cunning old foxes."

But he had a forced smile on his face. He still needed them, he needed this alliance to fight against Chen Ziwen. He clapped his hands, indicating that he had something to say.

Everyone quieted down.

"The Freedom is a cruise ship that was just built in the island nation and was completed yesterday!" Li Ka-shing said.

The group of tycoons were overjoyed. "Freedom" was the name of their pooled-funding gambling ship; the name was meant to give the gamblers a feeling of freedom and unrestricted enjoyment. They believed it was a money-making monster.

Li Ka-shing was even happier. He felt that by first targeting Chen Ziwen in the HSBC acquisition and then undermining Chen Ziwen's financial situation with the high-seas gambling ship, Chen Ziwen's cash flow would inevitably be strained, which was the best opportunity for him to take his place.

He also established connections with the Black Dragon Society, greatly expanding his business empire. As for Chen Ziwen, he felt that the other party was ultimately a young man with little experience.

Just then, several islanders came out from the back room; they were members of the Black Dragon Society.

The man leading the group resembled Akutagawa Kaiji, but was more mature. This man was Akutagawa Kaiji's uncle, Akutagawa Kaede, one of the core figures of the Black Dragon Society.

“Mr. Akutagawa, please have a seat,” Li Zekai invited.

"Hi," Akutagawa Kaede said.

He gestured to his men to bring out a model of a cruise ship, which was built exactly like the "Liberty".

The bigwigs eagerly passed it around, praising the "Freedom" and expressing their high hopes for the future.

"Mr. Akutagawa, when does the Freedom set sail?" Li Zekai asked the question everyone wanted to ask.

“I checked your country’s calendar, and this Saturday is an auspicious day,” Akutagawa Kaede said with a smile.

The group drank heartily, and after the banquet, Li Zekai arranged a presidential suite for Akutagawa Kaede and the others.

Kaede Akutagawa pulled Richard Li aside and asked, "Mr. Li, could you tell me about Mr. Chen Ziwen in your eyes? I'm particularly interested in that person."

Li Zekai bowed slightly and said, "First of all, I would like to express my utmost sincerity regarding Mr. Akutagawa Kaiji's matter. I never expected that Chen Ziwen would act so viciously and ruthlessly."

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Akutagawa Kaede bowed, displaying the Japanese custom of bowing occasionally.

"The power of Chan Tze-man should not be underestimated. There are rumors, and it is almost certain, that he is the mastermind behind Hung Hing. In addition, he has considerable influence in the police force. Many inspectors and even superintendents give him face. My father once told me that his power may not be less than that of the Black Dragon Society."

That's a bit provocative.

A flash of disdain crossed Akutagawa Kaede's eyes; he was very dissatisfied with Li Zekai's last sentence. The Black Dragon Society was founded at the beginning of this century, nearly a century old, and played a significant role in world wars, transcending the realm of ordinary gangs. How could a mere triad-based criminal organization compare to the Black Dragon Society?

He said proudly, "Mr. Li, you don't need to worry about that. Once the Freedom starts operating, I believe the Black Dragon Society will face off against Mr. Chen Ziwen. At that time, I will let him know how powerful the Black Dragon Society is."

“Of course, I’m on the Black Dragon Society’s side, and I hope we can crush that Chen guy,” Li Zekai said with a smile.

A few days passed quickly, and Saturday arrived.

Thanks to the publicity in many newspapers, people on Hong Kong Island knew that a ship called "Liberty" would be sailing on the high seas, where they could enjoy the sea view while playing a few rounds of games, and for a time, followers flocked to it.

Chen's Building, top floor.

A-Jie whispered, "Boss, the captain of the Freedom has sent an invitation. Do you want to go?"

"This is a slap in my face!" Chen Ziwen laughed.

"But of course I'll go."

Saturday, at the port.

With a long whistle, the Freedom ship announced to its passengers that it would set sail in ten minutes.

Many tourists had already boarded the cruise ship, standing on the deck looking down with indescribable joy and pride.

The Liberty was far more luxurious than they had imagined, far more luxurious than the Fortune Cruises that had passed through Hong Kong Island before, and it was a gambling ship belonging to Hong Kong Island.

Even if you don't gamble on the Freedom, just sightseeing and enjoying the scenery is worthwhile.

Members of the Black Dragon Society stood by the boat, maintaining order among the boarding passengers. Everything appeared orderly and safe, much to the satisfaction of the tourists.

Li Ka-shing and other bigwigs did not personally board the ship. Although the Black Dragon Society repeatedly assured them of their safety, they were still somewhat worried and sent their nephews and nieces to represent them.

As a leading figure among the younger generation, Richard Li stood with a group of young people in the top-floor suite, looking down at the world below, giving off a feeling that everything was under his control.

He also has special arrangements this time.

In Macau, there are many beautiful girls in the casinos. Although they are all dressed very attractively, they can't escape that identity in the end. But the women on this cruise ship are all white-collar workers he invited from various companies.

She's beautiful, charming, and requires men to pursue her.

There's a saying: a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a stolen affair, and a stolen affair is not as good as one that can't be stolen. People don't cherish what they get too easily, nor do they feel pleasure from it. I believe these high-end guests will come to love this place in the future.

"Second Young Master, Chen Ziwen has arrived."

Li Zekai frowned, then laughed: "He actually dared to come? How many people did he bring?"

"Two people."

"Just the two of them? Hmph, they really don't take us seriously. Let's go down and have a go at them."

On the deck, tourists came up to greet Chen Ziwen. They all felt it was a great honor to be able to speak with Hong Kong's richest man.

Chen Ziwen responded with a smile.

"Mr. Chen is so handsome!"

"Mr. Chen is so humble, he's practically a prince charming..." Xi...

Some people with some status were secretly thinking that the high-seas gambling ships were competing with the Macau casinos for business. After all, their customers were mainly Hong Kong Island residents, and going to Macau to gamble on weekends or holidays had become a habit for many Hong Kong Island residents. But the high-seas gambling ships would undoubtedly overturn all of that.

I'm afraid there's going to be a good show to watch soon.

Li Zekai walked over with a smile: "Mr. Chen's presence is truly an honor for the Freedom Ship."

Seeing Li Zekai's outstretched hand, Chen Ziwen did not shake it, but patted Li Zekai's shoulder and laughed, "What, are you in charge on the ship now?"

Li Zekai's face turned cold. He had always compared himself to Chen Ziwen and felt that he was not necessarily worse than Chen Ziwen, but he did not expect Chen Ziwen to be so disrespectful to him.

“That’s right, I’ll take charge of everything.”

"Your shoulders are so weak, can they hold up?" Chen Ziwen patted his shoulder again and laughed, the action seemingly casual.

Li Zekai's knees buckled, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Summon the Black Dragon Society to see me," Chen Ziwen said coldly, then walked away.

"Wow, Mr. Chen is so domineering!" a fangirl exclaimed.

Many white-collar workers were initially reluctant to board the ship, but upon seeing the charisma of Hong Kong's most eligible bachelor, they felt the trip was worthwhile. Countless female white-collar workers' eyes followed Chen Ziwen's every move.

Li Zekai was extremely embarrassed, biting his lip tightly, wishing he could devour Chen Ziwen.

At this moment, the Freedom started moving. Li Zekai forced a smile and said to the people around him, "The Freedom is setting sail. I hope you all have a good time."

They left in a sorry state.

He felt embarrassed, but few people paid attention to him; their eyes were already fixed on Chen Ziwen.

Two hours later, the Freedom arrived in international waters.

With the casino open, a large number of tourists immediately entered the gaming hall.

Chen Ziwen remained standing on the deck, looking at the sea. Many women watched him from afar, but dared not approach.

Chen Ziwen touched the ring on his hand and laughed, "Two hours have passed, and the Black Dragon Society still hasn't arrived, hehe."

Ah Jie whispered to Chen Ziwen, "Many of our people have already entered the casino. I believe the Black Dragon Society will come looking for the boss soon. Gao Da and the others haven't made a move yet."

Chen Ziwen nodded: "Opening a casino isn't that easy."

Half an hour later, Akutagawa Kaede arrived with a group of people.

Akutagawa Kaede said respectfully, "I'm so sorry, I had some things to attend to earlier, so I'm only meeting Mr. Chen now."

His face was covered in sweat. They were on high alert for the technical director of the Macau casino, especially Gao Da and his team, but to their surprise, Gao Da and his team did not make a move. The casino had already been robbed of a large sum of money by some unknown nobodys.

In reality, a few people don't win much, but the most dangerous thing is that other tourists follow suit and place bets, which makes it difficult for the casino to keep going.

In other circumstances, casinos would usually close the tables, but since this is the Liberty's first voyage and the casino has only been open for a little over half an hour, closing the tables would basically ruin their reputation.

Now we can only seek help from Chen Ziwen to negotiate.

Even losing a large sum of money is better than being swallowed up by a bottomless pit.

"Oh, I wonder what has kept Mr. Akutagawa so busy for so long?" Chen Ziwen asked with a smile.

Standing behind Akutagawa Kaede, Akutagawa Kaiji couldn't hold back any longer. Just seeing Chen Ziwen made his broken hand hurt again.

"Mr. Chen, isn't it a bit too shameless of you to pretend you don't know?"

Ah Jie raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

"Baka!" Akutagawa Kaiji was furious and was about to retaliate, but with his uncle there, he became much bolder.

"Come back!" Akutagawa Kaede roared.

Akutagawa Kaiji quickly retreated.

Suppressing his anger, Akutagawa Kaede said, "I wonder how I can appease Mr. Chen? The Black Dragon Society is open to discussion."

“I’ll take 70% of the Freedom, and the other 30% will go to your Black Dragon Society,” Chen Ziwen said directly.
