Hong Kong variety show: I can boost loyalty, the most generous boss.

Chapter 275, Section 274: This son-in-law is too outstanding; is he an athlete?
After the meeting, Yang Jun walked at the front, followed by Han Bin, Luo Tianhong, Chuan Bao, and others. They were all shareholders and management of the company and were very concerned about the operation of Helian Group.

"Brother Jun, is this foreigner reliable? Will he betray us?"

Han Bin felt uneasy. Hiring a foreign general manager was simply too shocking.

Although the organization has been transformed into a company, many of its accounts still contain illicit funds, and the ledgers have numerous loopholes that cannot withstand scrutiny!

“Mr. Wei Li is only responsible for the investment and listing of the main business. The finance department is still controlled by our people. You can just avoid talking about things in the underworld.”

"This foreigner isn't just getting paid for nothing; he has extensive connections in Hong Kong. With him handling things, many tasks become much more efficient!"

Yang Jun's words were very clear: Hong Kong is still dominated by foreigners after all. If you want to do business in Hong Kong, it will be much easier to use foreigners, such as for financing, loans, investment, and license applications.
Han Bin, Chuan Bao, and the others nodded repeatedly, expressing their admiration for Yang Jun's arrangements!

"Brother Jun, is it really possible for the company to go public?"

Luo Tianhong is very interested in the company's IPO. He owns 1.5% of the company's shares, and if the IPO is successful, his net worth will increase!
Once the company goes public, all of these original shareholders will make a fortune.

After being involved in gangs for so many years, I never imagined that the company would go public one day. This is like jumping over a social class in an instant.

Who says a short mule will always be a short mule? Even a salted fish can turn over, okay?
This question was of concern not only to Luo Tianhong, but also to Han Bin, Chuanbao, Yutoubiao, and others.

They made a lot of money at the fund company and weren't completely ignorant about stocks; they knew the benefits of a company going public.

Yang Jun shook his head, not making any grand promises, but simply said:

"I can only say there's hope, since the company's background isn't clean, making it difficult to pass the audit!"

In April 1986, the original four stock exchanges in Hong Kong—the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Far East Stock Exchange, the Gold and Silver Stock Exchange, and the Kowloon Stock Exchange—were merged into the Hong Kong United Stock Exchange, which had a total of 295 listed companies. Li Fuzhao was appointed as the chairman of the United Exchange.

This Li Fuzhao is Yang Jun's longtime friend, and they have a close personal relationship. Maybe he can go easy on him!

Yang Jun certainly wouldn't make any definitive statements, and Chuan Bao and the others were overjoyed, seeing their lives getting better and better.

After leaving the Wo Luen Group, Yang Jun drove to the Repulse Bay villa area, which is one of the largest villa areas in Hong Kong, mainly consisting of sea-view villas.

Three years ago, Yang Jun bought more than ten detached villas here in one go. In just three years, the villas have appreciated to twice their original value, making Yang Jun a fortune.

Yang Jun gave four of these villas to Wang Zuxian, Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, and Guan Zhilin, arranging a villa for each of them to keep their mistresses in luxury!

Although Yang Jun couldn't give them a formal title, he could provide them with material compensation: a villa for each of them, a car worth millions, and 10 yuan of pocket money per month—these were all standard.

Yang Jun came to Wang Zuxian's villa today. He knew that Wang Zuxian hadn't been filming recently, mainly because after the huge success of "A Chinese Ghost Story," Wang Zuxian had taken on several commercials, and the company hadn't arranged any other work for the time being.

As Yang Jun entered the garden, a woman who looked to be in her thirties came out of the living room. She paused for a moment when she saw Yang Jun, then excitedly walked up to him and said:

"Mr. Yang, hello, it's great to finally meet you in person."

“I am Xiaoxian’s mother, and my surname is Ye.”

Ms. Ye walked up to us warmly. She had fair skin, was very well-maintained, and had a very feminine charm!

Yang Jun smiled and extended his hand, saying politely:
"Auntie, hello! I'm Wang Zuxian's boyfriend~"

Yang Jun readily admitted to being Wang Zuxian's boyfriend, which made Ms. Ye even happier. She then took the initiative and said:
"Please come in! Xiaoxian is upstairs. I'll have her come down right away."

Yang Jun's lips twitched. This felt like his own home, and he was acting like a guest!
Yang Jun walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. Ms. Ye went to the kitchen and busied herself for a while before bringing out a plate of fruit.

"Mr. Yang, would you like some fruit?"

"Auntie, you can just call me Ah Jun. Calling me Mr. Yang is too formal."

Ms. Ye nodded excitedly. Seeing that Yang Jun was approachable, she started chatting with him.

"Jun, how many siblings do you have?"

"I am an only child, and my parents have passed away!"

Ms. Ye was overjoyed. With a net worth of over 10 billion US dollars and no parents or siblings, he was definitely a diamond bachelor!
The only downside is that he has a wife, but that's okay, many rich men get divorced, so there's always a waiting list.

"Oh, I see! Ah Jun is so capable, starting from scratch and building such a huge business!"

"Is your company very busy? I heard you have over 10 employees!"

Ms. Ye was very curious about Yang Jun and started chatting with him casually, and Yang Jun didn't seem impatient.

"I'm not very busy. I have a professional manager to help me run the company?"

Ms. Ye's eyes lit up, and she said to Yang Jun:
"I've run a business before and I have a university degree. Could you let me work for your company?"

Ms. Ye lost a lot of money doing business in Taiwan and went to Hong Kong to stay with her daughter. She was quite bored every day in the villa.

Lacking capital to start a business, he could only ask Yang Jun if he could arrange a job.

"Mom, what are you saying? Don't make things difficult for Jun-ge."

Wang Zuxian came down the stairs and happened to hear this, so he immediately scolded Ms. Ye.

Ms. Ye chuckled awkwardly and said embarrassedly:

"Jun, I was just asking, don't take it to heart!"

Yang Jun took a bite of watermelon and said with a smile:

“It’s alright! If you don’t have a job, Auntie, I can arrange for you to be a manager at a supermarket, which will pay more than 2 yuan a month.”

"You've done business before, so you should be able to handle this easily."

Assigning a job is nothing to Yang Jun; he has arranged many positions for people in his hometown before, all of which are basic management positions.

Yang Jun has over 100,000 employees, so he doesn't need a few freeloaders.

However, middle and senior management positions cannot be filled through nepotism; promotion requires a certain level of ability. Yang Jun was able to distinguish between what was important and what was not.

"Really? That's great! Xiaoxian, did you hear that? Ahjun wants me to be a manager at the supermarket."

Ms. Ye was overjoyed, her son-in-law was capable, and she no longer needed to take risks to do business.

My daughter is the best; she found a good boyfriend. This is what they call "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"
Wang Zuxian rolled his eyes at Ms. Ye, then went up and put his arm around Yang Jun's shoulder, saying with a smile:

"Jun-ge, will you come shopping with me tomorrow?"

Yang Jun shook his head and teased Wang Zuxian:
"You're a famous movie star now. If we go shopping together, aren't you afraid the newspapers will write something ridiculous?"

Wang Zuxian pouted and said in a Taiwanese accent, "..."

"I'm not afraid at all! I'd love for the newspapers to publish this so I can be with you!"

You're not afraid, but I am.
Yang Jun didn't want to be in the newspapers. His private affairs with women were a completely different matter from making headlines and causing a public uproar.

"Alright, I'll go to the movies with you, okay?"

"How about watching 'Family Reunion,' starring you?"

Upon hearing that watching a movie was a good way to bond with Yang Jun, Wang Zuxian happily nodded. Although it couldn't compare to shopping, it would still be a chance to get to know Yang Jun better.

"Family Reunion" was produced by New City Films, but New City Films has been acquired by Yang Jun. Tsui Hark and Huang Baimin stayed at New City to oversee the company, while the other shareholders left to form their own film companies. With box office revenue soaring, many big investors have set their sights on the Hong Kong film market, hoping to get a share of the profits.

Chan Wing-mei and Fung Ping-chung established New Treasure Cinemas, which became the fourth cinema chain in Hong Kong, taking a share of the Hong Kong film market.

Therefore, Yang Jun used Giant Films to invest 2000 million yuan to acquire New City Film Company, bringing all the copyrights of the film under his control. Last month, he once again spent a huge sum of money to acquire Lei's Golden Princess Cinema Line.

Giant Films owns two theater chains, Giant and Golden Princess, dominating half of the film industry and wielding considerable influence.

Yang Jun established Xinbao Cinema Line, which became the fourth cinema chain in Hong Kong, thus taking a share of the Hong Kong film market.

Therefore, Yang Jun used Giant Films to invest 2000 million yuan to acquire New City Film Company, bringing all the copyrights of the film under his control. Last month, he once again spent a huge sum of money to acquire Lei's Golden Princess Cinema Line.

Giant Films owns two theater chains, Giant and Golden Princess, dominating half of the film industry and wielding considerable influence.

As a new film under Yang Jun's management, "Family Fun" is a film that Yang Jun can easily put a female lead in.

"Mom, Ah Jun and I are going to our room now~"

Wang Zuxian led Yang Jun to the bedroom, and soon after, Wang Zuxian's pleas for mercy could be heard from inside the room.

Ms. Ye curiously leaned closer to eavesdrop, and said with a smirk:

"These young people are really going all out; they're already causing trouble in broad daylight!"

Two hours later, Ms. Ye became uneasy. Was Yang Jun really that strong? Would something bad happen to him?
He doesn't seem like someone who runs a business; he's probably an athlete.
Ms. Ye blushed, blaming it on the poor soundproofing of the walls.

Yang Jun walked out of the bedroom and greeted Ms. Ye.

"Auntie, I'll be going now."

Ms. Ye was too embarrassed to agree, her face turning bright red.

Yang Jun frowned. His aunt had been drinking, but he didn't take it seriously and drove away.

Da Dong took out his mobile phone in the car and said to Yang Jun:

"Mr. Li from CK Asset Holdings just called; he seemed a bit anxious."

Yang Jun said "Oh," and knew that Li Jiacheng had something to discuss with him, so he must have something to ask, not just some casual chat.

Yang Jun dialed Li Ka-shing's private number. Within the Chinese Association, Yang Jun had access to the private phone numbers of all the wealthy people in Hong Kong; he simply took out his phone book and dialed.

Back then, mobile phones didn't have a contact list function; people would take out a phone book or business card to make calls.

"Hello, Mr. Li, this is Yang Jun."

"Jun, I'm in trouble, I urgently need money!"

"I'm planning to sell 50% of my shares in satellite TV. Shall we meet and discuss it?"

Yang Jun was secretly delighted. Li Ka-shing was willing to sell his shares in satellite TV, which was great news!

"Okay, let's talk at my company."

Yang Jun had Da Dong drive back to the headquarters of the Giant Empire Group. Li Jiacheng arrived twenty minutes later, and the two discussed business in the reception room.

Li Jiacheng's brows were furrowed, as if he were carrying a heavy burden in his heart.

"Ah Jun, my son Li Ju has been kidnapped."

"The kidnappers are demanding a ransom of 10 billion. I need to gather old banknotes with non-consecutive serial numbers within three days. I need cash for the transaction!"

Li Jiacheng told the whole story. He and Yang Jun were old friends, so he didn't hide anything.

"Cash?" Yang Jun nodded; he had the most cash he could get.

Whether it's business in Macau or other shady ventures, he can easily come up with billions of Hong Kong dollars in cash.

Hong Kong media outlets say Yang Jun is a cash king; his acquisition of Hong Kong Electric with billions of dollars in cash demonstrated his financial strength to everyone.

If Li Ka-shing wanted cash, Yang Jun would naturally be the first person he approached.

"Sure! I'll offer HK$2 million in cash, how about that?"

Yang Jun offered 2 million yuan, valuing the satellite TV company at around 4 million yuan. Yang Jun's offer of 2 million yuan in cash for 50% of the equity was quite generous.

As expected, Li Jiacheng nodded in satisfaction, smiled, and extended his hand, saying:
"Thank you, Ah Jun~"

Yang Jun did not take the opportunity to lower the price, which touched Li Jiacheng deeply, and they quickly reached an agreement on cooperation!
Li Ka-shing was very satisfied with the price and had his accountant and lawyer finalize the contract. Yang Jun then had HSBC transfer the money to Li Ka-shing.

Once the contract was signed, the money went into Li Ka-shing's private account because he sold the satellite TV shares in his private name.

"Mr. Li, please don't hesitate to ask if you need any help."

Yang Jun's polite words warmed Li Jiacheng's heart, and he said to Yang Jun:
"Ah Jun, you're so thoughtful~"

"If I had known, I would have hired more bodyguards. One of the security guards from the Chinese security company died and another was injured. I will cover their resettlement and medical expenses."

Li Jiacheng mentioned the security casualties, something Yang Jun had not yet been informed of.

Da Dong moved closer to Yang Jun and said to him:

"Mr. Li Ju's bodyguards are from our company. There were two bodyguards protecting Mr. Li Ju that day, but they were attacked by the kidnappers, resulting in one death and one injury."

“The kidnappers were numerous and armed with AK47 assault rifles. Our bodyguards fought back desperately, one of them was killed and another was wounded. They did their best.”

Yang Jun nodded, his mood somewhat heavy.

"I understand. A memorial service will be held in the name of the company, and I will attend in person!"

Since the person has passed away, we should handle the funeral arrangements well and let this employee leave in style!
Damn it! Zhang Shih-hao, you dare to touch my men?

After seeing Li Jiacheng off, Yang Jun called Ahua.

"In the next few days, locate all members of Zhang Shih-hao's gang and monitor them. Don't make any rash moves yet!"

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away!"

It was easy for Ahua to find Zhang Shih-hao's whereabouts, because Zhang Shih-hao didn't hide at all; that kid was extremely high-profile!
After robbing Li Ka-shing, he went to gamble heavily in the VIP room of the Lisboa Hotel in Macau, and many people knew his whereabouts.

However, Ahua needs some time to investigate the other members, since Zhang Shih-hao's team has quite a few members.

Zhang Shih-hao not only has accomplices in Hong Kong, but also collaborates with Yang Ji-guang in mainland China, making his network of relationships quite complex.

The next day,

Yang Jun went to Asia Television (ATV) and had a half-day meeting with its general manager before announcing the establishment of a new satellite television station.

"I hereby announce the official establishment of Star TV. Star TV's audience is Chinese people throughout Asia, with the goal of covering Hong Kong, Macau, mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore and other regions."

"Former Vice President of Asia Television, Chen Dengfeng, will serve as President of Star TV. A group of elite personnel will be transferred from Asia Television to Star TV. At the same time, we will recruit outstanding talents from Hong Kong, Macau and the mainland, with excellent benefits!"
