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

Chapter 78, Section 77: Starting Afresh, I'm Going to Start Sun Wo Luen Shing!

Yang Jun smiled and refused. He knew himself well; marrying into a wealthy family wasn't out of the question, but he had to find someone beautiful.

After this incident, the two sides actually got closer and started talking about business.

"Ah Jun, I heard you have some Wheelock shares. Could you part with them and let me have them?"

"I won't let you lose out either. How about I buy your shares at a premium of 8.5 yuan per share?"

8.5 yuan? Yang Jun was secretly pleased; this price was quite good.

He bought shares at an average price of 4.5 yuan per share half a month ago, and now he is offering 8.5 yuan per share, which means he has made a net profit of 4 yuan per share.

I now have 120 million shares, which means I've made HK$480 million, which is pretty good.

The reason why the shipping magnate was willing to pay such a high price was mainly because Yang Jun held a 12% stake, which could determine the outcome of this acquisition of Wheelock.

If Bao Chuanwang manages to acquire Yang Jun's shares first, he will have a 48% stake, essentially securing his victory.

Seeing that Yang Jun remained silent for a long time, Bao Chuanwang added another sentence.

"Ah Jun, if you sell your shares to me, I, Lao Bao, will owe you a favor!"

Yang Jun's eyes lit up. The favors of the shipping magnate were very valuable. He was not only the richest man in Hong Kong, but also a director of HSBC, and had a very close relationship with Sir Michael Sandberg.

"Okay! Deal!"

Bao, the shipping magnate, stood up excitedly, shook hands with Yang Jun, and smiled:
"Thank you, Ah Jun. Let's have tea and play golf sometime!"

"my pleasure!"

The three continued chatting. Bao, the shipping magnate, liked to drink tea, play golf in Fanling, and also enjoyed horse racing.

Yang Jun chatted with them about tea, and the group laughed and talked while the employees drafted contracts.

When Liang Yongqi saw Yang Jun chatting and laughing with the shipping magnate, his eyes were sparkling. It hadn't been long, and Yang Jun's circle of friends had already reached the level of the shipping magnate.

Even a prominent lawyer like Leung Wing-ki couldn't get a meeting with someone as important as the shipping magnate!

"By the way, Ms. Shen, does HSBC hold any shares in Chinese Estates Holdings?"

Chinese Estates? Sir Michael Sandberg was startled, and asked with a smile:

"Jun, are you interested in Chinese Estates?"

Sir Michael Sandberg knew that Chinese Estates Holdings, the listed company, had been in constant trouble lately, with the Li family and the Feng family locked in a fierce battle.

Chinese Estates Holdings was originally founded in 1922 by the Fung Ping Shan and Lee Koon Chun families. The two families agreed to take turns running the company, but Lee Siu Fook of the Lee family wanted to sell his shares in Chinese Estates Holdings.

Disappointed that he was not admitted to the board of directors of the family business, Bank of East Asia, Li Zhaofu planned to sell his shares in Chinese Estates Holdings.

“Mrs. Shen, I don’t own any listed companies. I have high hopes for Chinese Estates Holdings.”

Yang Jun just sold 12% of Wheelock's shares, cashing out 10 billion yuan in cash. With another 5 million yuan in cash on hand, he has a total of 15 billion yuan in cash.

With so much cash, it was impossible to leave it in a bank to earn interest. Yang Jun planned to buy a listed company, and Chinese Estates Holdings, founded in 1922, became his first choice.

Sir Michael Sandberg does indeed hold shares in Chinese Estates Holdings, but only 5% of the equity, which is worth 50 million based on a total market value of 1 billion.

"Ah Jun, I own 5% of the shares, do you want them?"

Yang Jun was overjoyed. He had previously arranged for people to buy shares on the secondary market, and after much hard work, he only managed to acquire 8%. Combined with the 13% held by Shen Bi, Yang Jun was now a major shareholder.

Although Yang Jun doesn't currently have the strength to acquire a large trading company like Wheelock, it's still very possible for him to acquire a listed company with a market value of 10 billion.

"Yang Jun paid 50 million to acquire 5% of the shares held by Shen Bi. After signing the contract, he will have 13% of the shares."

Moreover, Shen Bi also told Yang Jun a crucial piece of information.

"Li Zhaofu of the Li family wants to sell his shares in Chinese Estates Holdings. You can try contacting him!"

"Oh, thank you for letting me know, Ms. Shen."

Yang Jun was about to go find Li Zhaofu when Bao Chuanwang spoke up:
"Ah Jun, I know Li Zhaofu, I can help you get in touch~"

Yang Jun certainly wouldn't refuse. That's the benefit of connections. What Yang Jun considered a hopeless acquisition would become much easier with the help of the shipping magnate and Shen Bi.

The two had extensive connections in Hong Kong and knew most of the wealthy and influential families!
"I couldn't be happier, thank you Uncle Bao!"

Yang Jun called Bao Chuanwang "Uncle Bao," which was definitely not a bad thing, and Bao Chuanwang readily agreed with a smile.

Bao Chuanwang and Yang Jun seemed to be close friends despite their age difference; they felt like they had known each other for a long time!

The shipping magnate made a phone call and invited Li Zhaofu out. The two were old acquaintances and chatted about everyday things.

"Xiao Li, let me introduce you. This is my nephew, Yang Jun, the chairman of Giant Group."

Li Zhaofu, in his fifties, was a calm and experienced man. Upon hearing that Yang Jun was the nephew of the shipping magnate, he immediately took him seriously.

The two men have different surnames, so they must be juniors whom the shipping magnate Bao values ​​highly. In addition, the Giant Group is also quite well-known, and Li Zhaofu, the chairman of the Far East Exchange, has heard of them.

"I've long admired you, Chairman Li!"

"Mr. Yang, you are truly a promising young man!"

The shipping magnate said with a smile:

"You two talk, I'll excuse myself for a moment!"

The ship owner happily went next door to have tea, leaving the scene to Yang Jun and Li Zhaofu, the two parties involved.

"Chairman Li, it's like this, I'm planning to acquire your shares in Chinese Estates Holdings at a 10% premium. What do you think?"

Li Zhaofu happened to be selling 15% of his shares in Chinese Estates Holdings, and Yang Jun was an acquaintance introduced by the shipping magnate Bao, so he smiled and said:

“Sure! I have 15% of the shares, which I can transfer to you. Based on the total market value, you will need to pay me 1.65 million yuan.”

Li Zhaofu was very satisfied with the price. He was really short of cash and hoped to get the cash from Yang Jun.

"make a deal!"

With the help of shipping magnate Bao, the deal between the two parties was quickly reached. Yang Jun had his lawyer draft the contract, which was soon signed. Li Zhaofu transferred 15% of Chinese Estates Holdings' shares to Yang Jun.

As a result, Yang Jun now owns 28% of Chinese Estates Holdings, officially becoming the largest shareholder of Chinese Estates Holdings.

The acquisition of Chinese Estates Holdings is just one step away.

As the Lunar New Year approaches, various folk activities are being held throughout Hong Kong, including lion and dragon dances, worship of Wong Tai Sin, and many large red lanterns are hung on the streets.

Giant Group headquarters.

Yang Jun swirled his wine glass, stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the bustling traffic below, where the cars and people looked as small as ants.

"Boss, we sent people to Helan, but we can't find Crow!"

Ahua frowned. For the past two weeks, he had been sending people to Amsterdam to look for Crow of Dongxing, but Amsterdam was, after all, Dongxing's headquarters.

Crow has no relatives or friends in Hong Kong. He is not only an orphan but also an old bachelor, making him practically unable to choose a partner.

Yang Jun smiled and said to Ahua:
"Money makes the world go round. A person doesn't just disappear for no reason. Contact the Amsterdam Mafia and buy information."

If a crow dares to go out into the street and chop itself up, Yang Jun certainly won't let it go.

Amsterdam is home to many different factions: local gangs, the Italian Mafia, Turks, Moroccan biker gangs, and so on—it's almost like the United Nations.

"Okay, I'll contact someone to handle it right away and try to get rid of the crows before the Chinese New Year."

After Ahua left the office, Jamie came in again and asked Yang Jun:

"Brother Jun, are you planning to donate to charity?"

Jimmy just received a call from his boss, who said he wanted to do charity work. Jimmy was completely bewildered. His boss wanted to do charity work?

"Yes, I plan to establish a charitable foundation specifically to help Hong Kong children who cannot afford to go to school."

Compulsory education in Hong Kong lasts for nine years, meaning it's free until the third year of secondary school. Many children cannot afford to attend high school and university because their families are poor.

"I'm planning to donate 100 million, Jamie. What do you think?"

What? Donate 100 million?

Jamie was shocked; this was a huge sum of money, a hundred million!
"Boss, are you serious? What's the point?"

Jimmy racked his brains but couldn't figure out how there was any profit to be made in this.

What's the point? Yang Jun scoffed. Just for peace of mind!

When poor, cultivate your own virtue; when rich, benefit all under heaven!
"I'm not after anything in return; it's about the social responsibility of entrepreneurs!"

"I'll leave this matter to you, how about it?"

Jimmy gave a wry smile. Could he refuse? His boss wanted to do charity, so of course he would handle it properly.

However, this matter must be publicized properly, as it will greatly benefit the Giant Group.

The boss wanted to do good deeds anonymously, but Jamie was thinking about maximizing his profits from the matter.

Jimmy invited mainstream media from Hong Kong and planned to hold a special press conference to promote Giant Group's 100 million yuan charity plan.

When reporters from Hong Kong heard that the Giant Group was going to donate 100 million, they came over to give them face. After receiving a red envelope from Jimmy and being educated, they all wrote articles praising the Giant Group.

The following day, the Giant Group's donation of 100 million yuan made the front page of many newspapers, as many people on Hong Kong Island have a habit of reading newspapers.

Wow! Donating 100 million Hong Kong dollars? That's incredibly wealthy!

"Giant Group? This is the first time I've heard of it. They must be incredibly wealthy!"

"A true entrepreneur is one who is both wealthy and compassionate!"

In the early 1980s in Hong Kong, very few people could come up with 100 million in cash; only the top 20 richest people in Hong Kong could do so.

There are very few wealthy people who have donated more than ten million; even the shipping magnate has only donated tens of millions in total.

Yang Jun's donation of 100 million yuan immediately stunned everyone, and his fame spread throughout Hong Kong in an instant.

Tsuen Wan.

When Big D saw the newspaper, he almost choked on his tea, unable to believe what he was reading.

"Is Handsome Jun so rich he doesn't know what to do with all that money? I feel sorry for him even if he donates 100 million!"

"A short, stocky mule trying to do charity, donating a hundred million at once?"

Big D is worth hundreds of millions. He was heartbroken when he donated a little over a million during the last election. If you asked him to donate several million, it would be no different than killing him.

"Long Hair, what did you say when I asked you to contact Handsome Jun last time?"

"Big D, Brother Jun said he's waiting for you at the Youguqi Restaurant tonight!"

Big D was overjoyed upon hearing this. Handsome Jun had casually donated 100 million, demonstrating his considerable wealth. If he could cooperate with him, his chances of becoming the person in charge would greatly increase.

A villa in Sham Shui Po.

Uncle Deng also saw the newspaper report: a donation of 100 million? Uncle Deng couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

I knew Yang Jun was rich, but I didn't expect him to be this rich.

What does 100 million mean? Even after accumulating wealth for so long, Uncle Deng's savings are only tens of millions.

The money Yang Jun casually donated was more than the wealth Deng Bo had accumulated over decades.
Uncle Deng had a deep sense of apprehension in his eyes. Handsome Jun had grown up and was no longer someone that Big D or Ah Le could compare to.

At 8 o'clock, there is a restaurant with integrity.

Yang Jun arrived at the private room, where Big D had already ordered the dishes and warmly welcomed him in.

"Jun, come in and sit down!"

Big D, dressed in a suit and tie, was very polite to Yang Jun and said with a smile:

"Ah Jun, we had a bit of a misunderstanding before. Cheers, you can drink as you like~"

Yang Jun walked into the private room and sat opposite Big D. After looking around, he noticed that there was another woman besides Big D.

Big D's wife is Mrs. Lei? Big D's surname is Lei, and his wife is known in the underworld as Mrs. Lei. She is the second-in-command of Tsuen Wan.

Mrs. Lei was probably in her thirties. She was well-maintained, with fair skin and a curvaceous figure. She was looking at Yang Jun with curiosity.

What's Big D up to? He wouldn't be so despicable as to try and seduce me with his wife, would he?

"Big D, I'm here. Speak quickly!"

Yang Jun said calmly that he had no relationship with Da D and had even had some minor conflicts with him.

Big D chuckled and then said directly:

“Jun, we are all victims of the gang system. Why should those old fogies be in charge of the gang?”

"Two years after two years, I wanted to be in charge, but those old guys wouldn't listen to me."

"Why don't we start from scratch? I want to start Sun Wo Luen Shing!"

Big D, his face flushed with excitement, stood up and talked animatedly, completely absorbed in the passion of starting a new business.

Sun Wo Lian Sheng? Yang Jun laughed, "Big D has still come to this!"
In the movie, before Big D even started his Sun Wo Luen Shing business, he was suppressed by Uncle Deng and others.

Big D is ambitious, but lacks the ability and courage to achieve great things!

Yang Jun, with a cigar in his mouth, exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly:
"Are you done talking? What does your involvement with Sun Wo Luen Shing have to do with me?"

Big D was depressed for a long time. He was the first to share this great idea with Yang Jun, but he was met with a cold response.

“Ah Jun, let’s work together. Let’s set up two branches in Sun Wo Luen Shing.”

"I'm the boss, and so are you!"

"We have more people and more money. When we brothers are of one mind, our strength can break even metal!"

Big D is quite adept at creating chaos in order to become the leader; he even came up with a dual-head system.

Yang Jun was secretly pleased. Perhaps using Big D to deal with Uncle Deng might have a surprising effect!

So he asked with a smile:

"Big D, with two leaders, who's in charge and who's in charge?"

Big D was taken aback by these words, and then said:

"Ah Jun, we two are both leaders, we're equals, there's no distinction between the top and the bottom!"

Big D also knew that if he asked Handsome Jun to be his concubine, the other party would definitely not agree. In order to bind the other party to his side, he could only give up some of his rights.

"Two tigers cannot share one mountain, Big D. If a conflict arises between us, whose orders will the subordinates take?"

Yang Jun stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray and said with a smile:

"Why don't we each do our own thing? You run Sun Wo Luen Shing, and I'll run Sun Giants."

Yang Jun spoke with such seriousness that it shocked Big D and Mrs. Lei across from him.
