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

Chapter 72, Question 71: Are you kidding me? You want me to play the second male lead?
Negotiation is a psychological game. Yang Jun knew long ago that Jardine Matheson planned to sell off its assets as soon as possible. Foreigners generally did not have a good outlook on Hong Kong's future and most of them transferred their assets to Europe.

"Five hundred million, that's the most I can offer!"

Yang Jun earned 1 billion yuan in a month through the stock market guru experience card, but hasn't used it yet. In reality, Yang Jun's net worth has long exceeded 1.5 billion yuan.

HSBC's Sir Michael Sandberg was unaware of the huge sum of money hidden in the Giant Fund, which is why he mistakenly believed that Yang Jun only had 500 million in assets.

"Five hundred million? No way, that price is too low."

Joseph shook his head, as if he had suffered the greatest loss; his acting was superb.

Yang Jun, unwilling to waste words, said directly:

"Mr. Joseph, let's stop playing games!"

“I know that your Jardine Matheson is short of cash. Although there are many wealthy people who can afford 500 million, I am the only one who has cash on hand.”

"If you don't agree to this price, I'll find another seller. Hong Kong has no shortage of buildings!"

Yang Jun made a move to leave, and Joseph across from him panicked, knowing that Yang Jun was right.

There aren’t many people who can come up with 500 million in cash, and Jardine Matheson is also in dire need of cash to save its life!

"Wait a minute, let me ask my supervisor!"

Yang Jun smiled faintly and gestured for him to proceed, knowing he had won this round.

Sure enough, Joseph returned in just three minutes and said to Yang Jun:

"Happy cooperation!"

Yang Jun smiled and gestured for lawyer Liang Yongqi to start signing the contract. Joseph then began to try to get closer to Yang Jun, after all, he was a hidden tycoon.

"Boss, it's done!"

After Liang Yongqi finished processing the contract, he showed the documents to Yang Jun for review, and the property of Xia Que Building was transferred to Yang Jun's name.

Yang Jun laughed. He had acquired a 27-story building for only 500 million. He knew that 20 years later, this building would sell for more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

He got a steal! Buildings are dirt cheap these days. Yang Jun acquired the Xiaque Building, which also provides an office space for his Giant Group.

"Mr. Yang, would you like to go horse riding sometime?"

Yang Jun shook his head and said to Joseph:

"Hmm, we'll talk about it another time~"

Yang Jun had no intention of associating with foreigners; they were all cunning and looked down on Chinese people.

So, without any pleasantries with these foreigners, he saw them off, and the building would become Yang Jun's property.

"Xia Que Building sounds awful. Change the name of this building to Giant Building and change the sign."

"We will relocate the branch office here, emptying the top 10 floors of the building to serve as the office space for our Giant Group."

Yang Jun's branch offices would definitely be easier to manage if they were all clustered together. The top 10 floors of the building would be vacated for the branch offices to move in, while the remaining 17 floors would continue to be rented to other companies.

Yang Jun also became a landlord, collecting rent every year and no longer worrying about making a living.

The news of Giant Group's acquisition of Xiaque Building also appeared in the financial section, attracting the attention of some interested parties.

Jordan and Ah Lok were completely dumbfounded when they heard the news.

"What? Handsome Jun bought a building? Really? Where did he get the money?"

Ah Lok is campaigning enthusiastically, all for the sake of becoming the leader. What are the benefits of becoming the leader? It's just doing business in the name of the gang.

"Brother Le, handsome Jun really bought a building. It's the Harcourt Building that we usually pass by on our way to Wan Chai. It's now called Giant Building."

Fire Bull's eyes were full of envy. They were both in the same gang, so how come the other guy was so smart?
Ah Le was stunned, feeling bitter inside. No wonder Handsome Jun didn't want to be the boss; he was secretly making big money.

A villa in Sham Shui Po.

Uncle Deng also saw the news, sighed, and said to Chuanbao:
"Handsome Jun is a talented guy, it's a pity he doesn't do his job properly!"

"If only handsome guys could be in charge, then the gang could make money."

Chuanbao also regretted it. He envied Chuiji. After Chuiji got together with Handsome Jun, his status as an elder in the gang took off, and he had started to be on par with Chuanbao.

"Uncle Deng, Big D is not bad either. Since Handsome Jun doesn't want to be the boss, let Big D be the boss. It's better than Ah Lok!"

He's a pro at getting paid to do things, and he's very dedicated to campaigning for Big D.

Uncle Deng scoffed, saying that Big D was too powerful and difficult to control, and he favored Ah Le more.

Dapu Dongxing Hall.

Sha Meng Deng heard that his henchman, Fatty Qiang, had been beaten up and that Leslie Cheung had been kidnapped.

"Useless! What's the point of me raising you?"

“You’ve made me lose all face by letting people trample on Dapu.”

Sha Mengdeng angrily kicked over the table and unleashed a furious tirade on his men.

Fatty Qiang had his head wrapped up and his hands in casts, and he kept his head down, not daring to speak.

“Handsome Jun, others may be afraid of you, but I, Deng from Dongxing Shameng, am not afraid of you.”

Sha Meng Deng was the wealthiest man in Tung Sing, contracting renovation businesses in Yuen Long and Kowloon. His shrewdness allowed him to amass a fortune.

"Big brother, should we fight handsome Jun?"

Sha Mengdeng turned to look at his subordinates, scolding them with exasperation:
"Compete? What are you going to compete with?"

"Are you going to compete with them in drug use?"

"Look at you all, you're neither human nor ghost!"

Sha Mengdeng has some sense; he knows that going head-to-head with Liangzai Jun will definitely put him at a disadvantage, but he can't swallow this bitter pill.

"I'm looking for Crow; I want to partner with him to make a movie."

Sha Mengdeng made movies to launder money, and he also brought Leslie Cheung over to launder money.

Whether the movie makes money or not is irrelevant; it's just money laundering anyway.

"Damn it! Go tie up another one, tie up Chen Long."

Sha Meng Deng certainly wouldn't fight to the death with Handsome Jun for Leslie Cheung; he could just tie up another celebrity.

But I'll just use the crow to annoy Handsome Jun and vent my anger!

Queen Mary Hospital.

Yang Jun personally visited Leslie Cheung, who had been slashed and was seriously injured. He lay on the hospital bed with a look of utter despair.

"Guo Rong, Mr. Yang has come to visit you."

Wang Jin smiled and approached Zhang Guorong, saying...

Leslie Cheung was startled. Of course he knew who Yang Jun was; he was the gangster boss who had rescued him from Tai Po in the New Territories.

He had personally witnessed how ruthless Yang Jun's men were, beating the fat guy who had tied him up into a pig's head.

"Mr. Yang! Hello~"

Seeing Zhang Guorong's pitiful state, Yang Jun was speechless; how had he gotten injured?
Yang Jun glared at Nine-Dragon, who lowered his head guiltily and tried to get closer to him.

"Brother Jun, I've already beaten Fatty into a pig's head."

"Beating him to a pulp isn't enough! At least break one of his legs!"

Yang Jun said viciously, "Fatty Qiang deserves to die for causing my crew to be without a lead actor!"

Leslie Cheung, lying in his hospital bed, shuddered in fright. Was Mr. Yang really that fierce? Breaking a leg?

“Guo Rong, don’t be afraid, I will stand up for you in this matter.”

“Brother Jun, Leslie Cheung isn’t one of our gang members. We’re standing up for him.”

Ahua and Yang Jun started acting out a skit, taking turns saying one line!
Yang Jun looked at Leslie Cheung and said to him:

“This is simple, Guo Rong. Why don’t you join our gang? We’re all brothers.”

"That way, it's perfectly legitimate for me to stand up for you!"

Join a gang? Zhang Guorong was shocked. He had never been in a fight in his life. Now they wanted him to join a gang?
However, this incident also made him realize that without someone protecting you, even being a celebrity is very dangerous.

"Follow the big shot in front of us?" Leslie Cheung's eyes were firm as he said in a resounding voice:
"Boss, I'll follow you from now on." Haha! Yang Jun and Ahua exchanged a glance, a hint of smugness in their eyes.

"Okay, Guorong, take good care of your injury. Once you're fully recovered, you can join Wo Luen Shing."

Yang Jun smiled happily, thinking that as long as he could persuade Leslie Cheung to join the gang, his management company would definitely have to change as well.

Although Leslie Cheung can't fight, he can make money for Yang Jun, that's what makes him a real talent!
Wang Jin squinted and came up to say:

"Brother Jun, Leslie Cheung is injured and will need to rest for at least a month."

What will happen to our play?

The crew started filming a while ago, but they're currently shooting scenes with Chow Shui-fat and Dillon; Leslie Cheung's scenes haven't even started yet.

Yang Jun frowned. This was indeed a problem; this was the film company's first big-budget production.

Wang Jin chuckled and tentatively said:
"Brother Jun, why don't you go?"

What? Yang Jun's eyes widened. You want me to act? I'll act in my own movie.

Are you kidding me? I'm already a billionaire, why would I make movies?

"Wang Jin, are you alright? Let me play a policeman!"

In the movie, Leslie Cheung plays Dillon's younger brother, a Hong Kong policeman. But he himself is a triad boss. Does it make sense for him to play a policeman?
Wang Jin flattered with a fawning smile:

"Boss, you're an upright person, you look just like a policeman!"

What do you mean by "similar"? Yang Jun is indeed Yang Jun, but his contact is dead, and no one can verify his identity.

Yang Jun was quite happy; he's a good person! Wang Jin, that kid, has a very pleasant way of speaking.

"Boss, your character has a kissing scene with Zhu Baoyi!"

Wang Jin raised his eyebrows and winked at Yang Jun.

Yang Jun pretended to be serious and scolded:

"What nonsense are you spouting? Am I a lecher?"

"By the way, I don't have much time. I can't film for more than four hours during the day."

Yang Jun was concerned about whether the filming could be completed smoothly. Unfortunately, Leslie Cheung was injured, so he had to take over the role himself.

But Yang Jun has never acted before. Never mind, if his acting is too bad, the director won't dare to complain. I'm the boss on set!
"Haha, that's great! I'll tell Zhu Baoyi to report to the film crew tomorrow."

As soon as Yang Jun stepped out of the hospital, he ran into Chief Inspector Liang Xiaorou and greeted her with a smile.

"Inspector Liang, what brings you here?"

Liang Xiaorou had obviously just happened to run into Yang Jun, and she walked up to him and asked solemnly:
"Lung Kwan has disappeared. Did you do it?"

Leung Siu-yau heard some rumors that Leung Kwan's former territory now belonged to Leung Jai-Chun, and that Leung Jai-Chun had officially established his presence in Mong Kok.

Yang Jun shrugged and said speechlessly:

"Madam, Liang Kun has disappeared. You should contact the police. Why are you looking for me?"

"By the way, you're a policeman. When you find Liang Kun, remember to tell me. He still owes me several million."

Liang Xiaorou looked at Yang Jun carefully and asked suspiciously:

"It's really not you?"

Yang Jun shook his head and said with a smile:

"You know I'm a legitimate businessman, why would I want to run for parliament?"

Liang Xiaorou chuckled and said sarcastically:
"You, running for councilor? Are you trying to make me laugh?"

Liang Xiaorou also knew Yang Jun's background: he was a short, ugly man from Hong Kong with no connections whatsoever!
Yang Jun shrugged and leaned closer to Liang Xiaorou, saying:

"When the time comes, please cast your sacred vote for me~"

Liang Xiaorou was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, and she quickly took a few steps back. This man was poisonous.

Liang Xiaorou hurriedly fled, and Yang Jun smiled smugly.

However, it is true that he wants to run for legislator, because legislators in Hong Kong have many privileges and can whitewash their reputations.

Basically, once you're elected as a legislator, nobody remembers your triad affiliation, and you can quickly blend into Hong Kong's upper class.

No rush, Yang Jun plans to take it slow and earn more money first.

As the tiger charged forward, Yang Jun said to Ahua:

"Come on, does Oura Kuro want to see me?"

Ah-Hua took Yang Jun to a bar in Tsim Sha Tsui, which was Yang Jun's brothel. Tai-Pu-Hei had already booked a booth and was waiting for him.

"Brother Jun, have a seat, have a seat. What would you like to drink?"

"Hey Blackie, this is my turf, tonight's on me!"

"KK, call a few girls over, and bring two bottles of Lafite."

Yang Jun told KK to make the arrangements, then smiled at Daipu Hei:

"Thank you for what you did for Dapu last time!"

Daipu Hei chuckled obsequiously, opened the Lafite, and toasted Yang Jun.

"Brother Jun, your fund company has helped me make millions. With our brotherly relationship, this little thing is nothing!"

"I'll finish it, you can do whatever you want~"

Daipu Hei downed his drink in one gulp with great gusto and said to Yang Jun:

"Brother Jun, the election for the leader is coming up soon, who do you support?"

Yang Jun glanced at Da Pu Hei. He didn't like either Da D or A Le, so he said:
I support neither of them!

Anyway, since Ah Lok and Big D are going to fail, he'll just push his underling Jimmy up there and become the supreme ruler himself, having a blast.

Ah Le rides in a car without a helmet, and Big D goes fishing without a helmet. The final winner is Jimmy, who is his underling.

"Then I support Big D, and my meatballs will still be sold at Big D's place?"

Da Pu Hei felt a little guilty. He knew that Da D and Liang Zai Jun were not on good terms, so he came to tell Yang Jun.

"Brother Jun, I didn't want to either! I can't afford to offend Big D!"

"It's okay! You can support Big D if you want, anyway he can't win."

Yang Jun is not worried at all about the election results tomorrow; Big D will be the biggest loser.

"It's a pity you're not running for the position, Jun-ge. I would definitely support you to be the leader!"

"Haha! Let's drink, let's drink~"

Yang Jun didn't believe these empty promises at all. He knew that life wasn't all about fighting and killing, but about understanding human relationships and social dynamics!

"Brother Jun, there's one more thing. It seems like Crow from Tung Sing is planning to target you."

Da Puhei secretly informed on Yang Jun, saying he had extensive connections in the underworld and that he had come to see Brother Jun today to curry favor with him.

A crow? This defeated foe dares to come looking for death?
"Thank you, Oura Kuro~"

"We're all brothers, right? Want me to help you take down the crow?"

"No need, I have my own people!"

After seeing Daipu Hei off, Fang Ting swayed her slender waist and sat down next to Yang Jun, saying in a sweet voice:

"Brother Jun, I've lost my job!"

After Jiang Tiansheng learned about Fang Ting's situation, the original film company terminated its contract with Fang Ting, as their company had some connection with Hung Hing.

"Oh! It's okay, I'll take care of you~"

"Just let me drive your car!"

"Ugh, I'm acting!"

Fang Ting knew that Yang Jun owned a film company, so she planned to seduce him in order to get a good role.
