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

Chapter 61. Rivals are rivals! A head-to-head confrontation.
Lei Kun, who had been involved in the underworld in his early years, had a rough and tumble air about him. With a cigar dangling from his lips and legs crossed, he said to Yang Jun:

"Mr. Yang, is there anything I can do for you this time?"

Lei Kun knew that the Giant Group had little business dealings with him, and that no one would visit unless they had a reason. This young talent must have something to discuss with him.

Yang Jun didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.

“Mr. Lei, I know you are very interested in Shaw Brothers cinemas, but I happen to be determined to acquire them!”

"I think we should talk things over and not let Mr. Shao take advantage of us!"

Lei Kun understood Yang Jun's meaning, but he smiled and asked:

"Ah Jun, how do you want to negotiate? If you back out, I'll give you a million, how about that?"

Lei Kun said with a smile, and then presented his terms to Yang Jun!

100 million? Yang Jun shrugged and stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray.

"One million is too much? Mr. Lei, if you withdraw from this competition, I can give you five million!"

What? Lei Kun was stunned. This kid was throwing money at people?
500 million? Lei Kun was also taken aback, shocked by Yang Jun's generous offer. He could get 500 million just by withdrawing from the competition?
Yang Jun was going all out. As long as he could secure the Shaw Brothers cinema chain, he could earn tens of millions a year. What was 500 million?

Lei Kun's expression was solemn. He already knew that if he didn't let go, he would definitely offend the young man in front of him.

However, in business competition, there is no reason to give up voluntarily. Lei Kun is very optimistic about the film industry and will definitely not give up Shaw Brothers cinemas.

"Ah Jun, Shaw Brothers cinemas are very important to me. Sorry, let's see who has the greater ability?"

They couldn't reach an agreement? Yang Jun knew in his heart that Lei Kun didn't take him seriously.

"Mr. Lei, you already have Golden Princess Cinemas, why bother competing with me for Shaw Brothers Cinemas?"

Lei Kun, with his legs crossed, said jokingly:
"Who would complain about having too much money? Ah Jun, don't say I'm being disrespectful!"

"Even if Uncle Deng came in person, I wouldn't give up this matter."

Lei Kun kept calling him "Ah Jun," relying on his seniority and experience in the underworld, clearly not taking the younger generation like Handsome Jun seriously.

"Lei Kun, who do you think you are, not even calling Brother Jun a proper greeting?"

Luo Tianhong couldn't hold back any longer. He couldn't stand this old Bi Deng showing off, so he stood up and scolded him.

"Luo Tianhong, who gives you the right to speak here?"

"Go to hell, do you want to fight?"

The dozen or so short mules behind Lei Kun also stood up and started hurling insults at Luo Tianhong. The two sides were on the verge of exchanging blows, and the atmosphere was tense.

Lei Kun slammed his fist on the table and roared:
"sit down!"

Yang Jun also made a gesture behind him, and the two sides calmed down, but they still glared at each other angrily.

"Mr. Lei, then let's see who has the best skills!"

"Tianhong, let's go!"

Yang Jun walked out of the villa with a cold expression, and the two sides parted on bad terms.

After Yang Jun left the villa, Lei Kun's face darkened, and his assistant, Scarface Wen, leaned in and said:
"Brother Kun, should we send someone to do this?"

Lei Kun shook his head and chuckled:

"No need. Why bother with such a minor character? Help me arrange a meeting with Superintendent Smith from the police department."

Lei Kun owns a listed company and is on friendly terms with the foreign police superintendent in the police force. He is a big shot who has connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world!

After Yang Jun got on the bus, he also felt a headache coming on. Lei Kun of Kowloon Motor Bus was not easy to deal with; he had a lot of influence in both the underworld and the legitimate world.

"Brother Jun, let me kill this kid."

Luo Tianhong was still indignant and advocated using force to physically eliminate Lei Kun!

Yang Jun was both amused and exasperated, and gave Luo Tianhong a hard slap on the head. "You think Lei Kun is some kind of short mule? What? He's the boss of a listed company."

"You think you can outmaneuver the police force's 20,000-plus cops? That's just reckless courage!"

Yang Jun was also in a dilemma. Directly targeting Lei Kun was the worst possible strategy, especially considering the Hong Kong Police Force.

In Hong Kong, if you lay a hand on a shorty and he dies, nobody cares. For example, people like Boss B and Chicken (a notorious gangster) are just dead.

But if a rich person dies, the outcome is very different. If the owner of a listed company dies, even the top police officer will be furious.

However, it's impossible to get Yang Jun to give up Shaw Brothers cinemas!
The confrontation between the two sides was imminent. Yang Jun was reviewing the accounts at Giant Group. Business had been quite good last month, with Giant Group earning a total of three million.

Luo Tianhong walked over and said to Yang Jun in a low voice:

"Brother Jun, one of our nightclubs was smashed by the Number Gang, and more than a dozen of our brothers were arrested by the cops."

Yang Jun frowned and asked Luo Tianhong:
"What did you say? One of our nightclubs was vandalized, and instead of arresting the Number Gang members, the cops arrested our people."

"Yes! This is absolutely outrageous, especially with a foreigner personally leading the team!"

Yang Jun understood; it must have been Lei Kun who did this, trying to force him out of the competition!
Yang Jun now owns six nightclubs, located in Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, and other areas. Each nightclub provides Yang Jun with a large amount of cash flow.

"Brother Jun, if they smash up our nightclub, we'll smash up our bus!"

Smash the bus? No way, Luo Tianhong only comes up with terrible ideas.

This is a public works project; smashing up a nightclub isn't a big deal, but smashing a bus is a serious matter.

But did Lei Kun think he had him cornered? Yang Jun sneered and said:
"Ahua, you're doing this!"

Yang Jun whispered to Ahua. Luo Tianhong wanted to hear as well, but her voice was too soft and she couldn't hear him at all.

"Okay, Jun-ge!"

Ahua was secretly pleased. Brother Jun trusted him a lot, entrusting him with such an important task.
New City Film Company.

Shareholders including Mak Ka and Wong Pak-man are celebrating the wrap-up of their film at the company. Their big-budget film for this year is "Aces Go Places 2: The Ultimate Showdown".

"Congratulations on wrapping up filming for our movie 'Aces Go Places 2: The Ultimate Showdown,' which will be released in Golden Princess theaters next month."

Mecca is bald and is also the second largest shareholder of New City. Apart from Lei Kun, Mecca owns the most shares.

"I propose a toast to Mr. Lei to thank him for his investment."

Huang Baimin was very good at handling things. He opened a bottle of champagne with a smile, filled the glass for each of the main actors, and toasted Lei Kun together.

The total investment for this movie was 800 million, of which Lei Kun contributed 600 million, all in cash!
In this era, an investment of 800 million yuan for a film was considered a big production; most films only required an investment of one or two million yuan.

Lei Kun, as the major investor, raised a glass of champagne with high spirits and said with a smile:

Wishing them great box office success in advance!

On the other side, at the photo printing factory.

The editors are putting the finishing touches on the film at the photo printing plant. Once they're done here, the movie can be released.

"Who are you?"

The gatekeeper, Xiao Zhao, turned to look at the entrance, where four masked, burly men rushed in, each carrying a gun.

"What? You guys must have come to the wrong place?"

The security guard was completely bewildered. "Why aren't you robbing banks or jewelry stores? What are you doing at a photo printing factory?"
"Tie them up!"

Ahua pointed his gun at the gatekeeper and ordered his four men to tie him up. The gatekeeper looked at the fire poker in his hand and obediently raised his hand.

The gatekeeper was tied up and his mouth was stuffed with a rag.

"Behave yourselves, we don't want to kill anyone!"
