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

Chapter 63. I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength won't allow it!

Yang Jun and Shao Yifu sat drinking tea, each with their own lawyers responsible for drafting the contracts. Yang Jun only needed to sign and pay.

"Sixth Uncle, regarding the payment method, we would like to pay in installments. We will pay a deposit of 3000 million first."

After agreeing on the general price, the two began to discuss the details. Yang Jun hoped to pay in installments, as he couldn't handle the cash flow problem of paying in full at once.

Yang Jun only had about 60 million in cash, so paying 150 million was simply impossible.

Shaw was unhappy; he definitely wanted cash. He planned to sell Shaw Brothers cinemas and film companies in one go in order to acquire more shares of TVB.

The major shareholder of TVB is currently the Li family. Shaw is optimistic about the development of the television industry and plans to purchase more shares from the Li family, which requires raising more cash.

"Ah Jun, 3000 million is too little, you need at least a 5000 million deposit!"

Shaw felt he had overpaid by the 150 million price tag, so he offered a deposit of 50 million to make up for the loss.

Yang Jun's company started out in the nightclub business, so he has a lot of cash, even more than some large companies.

Yang Jun shrugged and said with a smile:

"can!"

Once he takes over Shaw Brothers cinemas, he will become one of Hong Kong's film tycoons, no longer a short, easily bullied nobody.

Hong Kong Island is a place of free speech, and whoever controls the power of public opinion can wield enormous power on Hong Kong Island.

Shaw became a knight not because he was rich—there were many richer people in Hong Kong than Shaw—but mainly because he controlled the media, TVB.

A man cannot be without power for a day. How can Yang Jun clear his name if he wants to go from a nobody to a tycoon?

Taking control of a film company and one of the three major cinema chains was Yang Jun's most important strategic move.

"Happy cooperation!"

Shaw smiled and raised his glass, offering tea instead of wine, and the two clinked glasses.

Yang Jun bought Shaw Brothers' cinema chain and Shaw Brothers cinema chain for HK$1.5 million and renamed them Giant Film Company and Yang's Cinema Chain.

This was a share transaction worth hundreds of millions, which caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong Island, and media reporters covered the news extensively.

Yang Jun also made the front page of Hong Kong media for the first time, officially becoming a celebrity in Hong Kong.

Nightclub King Turns to Film, Spends Over 100 Million to Buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas!

Movie mogul Yang Jun is only 21 years old and already worth hundreds of millions!

As news reports were published, many Hong Kong Island residents were hearing Yang Jun's name for the first time.

"Jun-ge, you're in the newspaper!"

Just as Yang Jun was about to head to the Giant Group office, Ahua walked over with a newspaper, grinning from ear to ear.

Really? Yang Jun took several newspapers from Ahua; his photo was published in the newspapers.

"These reporters are really resourceful; I wonder when they took my picture?"

Yang Jun never gives interviews. He has refused all interview requests from newspaper reporters.

After all, Yang Jun is a member of the gang, so he can't show his face in public. He should try to keep a low profile!

Be high-profile when making money, but be low-profile in your personal life!
“Brother Jun, this photo must have been taken secretly. These reporters are like leeches.”

"Look, there's a suspicious vehicle over there!"

Ahua raised his eyebrows and pointed to a private car parked across the street. Although the doors were closed, people could be seen inside.

"Get them out of here!"

Yang Jun's expression was unfriendly. These reporters were like persistent ghosts, like the paparazzi from Hong Kong Island.

Ahua, accompanied by Da Dong and four other bodyguards in black, walked over aggressively, much to the surprise of the two reporters taking photos in the car!
"What's going on? They're coming!"

The older reporters' faces darkened as they recalled a rumor that the owner of the Giant Group was a triad boss.

Although these rumors seemed plausible, the veteran reporter didn't believe them, since triad bosses were known for their involvement in prostitution, gambling, and drugs.

The Giant Group runs legitimate businesses, and its employees are always dressed in suits; how could they possibly be involved with organized crime? "Let's go!"

The veteran reporter was in a panic and kept urging the young reporter driving the car to hurry up.

Unfortunately, Ahua and the others had already surrounded the car. Da Dong opened the car door and lifted the old reporter out like a chick.

Da Dong, dressed in a black suit and wearing sunglasses, with a fierce look, said coldly:
"Who are you? Why are you following us?"

The veteran reporter was on the verge of tears; what kind of people had they offended?

"I am a reporter from the newspaper, and I have a press card!"

Da Dong glanced at the press pass and said coldly:

"Press cards can be forged. I suspect you're trying to assassinate Mr. Yang!"

What? Assassinate Mr. Yang?
What? What's going on? The veteran reporter was almost in tears.

"We really are journalists! And our press cards are genuine."

"If you don't believe me, you can call our newspaper and ask."

Da Dong snorted and looked at Ahua beside him. Ahua snatched the camera, took out the film, and threw the camera at the old reporter.

Ahua glanced at the film roll, which contained photos of Yang Jun, but they were all taken secretly.

"The film has been confiscated. Don't take photos without permission in the future."

"Some people can't be filmed by you."

Ahua waved his hand, and the four men in suits began to leave, leaving two reporters looking at each other in bewilderment.

After Ahua and the others left, the two reporters were covered in sweat and soaked through!

"Let's go! Don't film Mr. Yang anymore."

Both of them were entertainment reporters who wanted to capture the true faces of the people behind the acquisition of Shaw Brothers cinemas. Who knew they would encounter this scene?
"Brother Ma, what exactly is Mr. Yang's background?"

The young reporter gasped in shock and took a while to start the car, his back completely soaked.

These men in black have such an imposing presence; their eyes could kill!
"Don't ask anymore, we can't afford to offend these people!"

Old Ma was also terrified. Although he had some guesses about Yang Jun's identity, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Brother Jun, they're probably just reporters, not assassins!"

Yang Jun nodded. He hadn't expected that acquiring Shaw Brothers Cinemas would have so many side effects. He had become famous in Hong Kong!

I want to keep a low profile, but my abilities won't allow it!
"Okay, let's leave now!"

The villa of Mr. Tang in Sham Shui Po.

"What? Handsome Jun acquired Shaw Brothers Cinemas? And spent HK$1.5 million."

Uncle Deng's lips twitched, and he was shocked!

That's HK$1.5 million? Even if Uncle Deng emptied the entire Wo Luen Shing estate, he couldn't raise that much money.

"Uncle Deng, you should advise Ah Jun that you shouldn't spend money like this."

"Why go through all that trouble to shoot three-color film? Just buy some second-hand equipment and get started. There's no need to waste money on this."

Chuan Bao was also speechless, feeling that Handsome Jun was neglecting his duties. As a member of a triad, why wasn't he involved in prostitution, gambling, and drugs? Why was he making movies? What else could this be but neglecting his duties?

Uncle En took a puff of his pipe and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

"No, I heard from Ah Jun that he's planning to make a theatrical film."

Seriously? Making a theatrical film? They'll lose a fortune!
Chuanbao sneered, gloating as he said:
“Ah Jun only has a junior high school diploma, yet he tries to make movies.”

"Let's film it first and then talk about it. I was even saying I'd take the club to the moon!"

It's still Chuanbao who's hot-tempered; he'll throw fireballs at the slightest provocation.
