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

Chapter 97, 96. Is this how you play the game? I'm afraid you can't afford to play it!
Ah! Huo Baoning was speechless. The boss still wanted to invest in the print media industry. What a fool with too much money!
Huo Baoning views the media industry from an economic perspective, while Yang Jun views it from a higher dimension, aiming to expand his influence!
Making money or not doesn't matter. Yang Jun learned his lesson from Da Gong Bao last time, so he can't just keep trying to steal newspapers every time!
"Okay, boss, I'll go and buy a few newspapers right away!"

Huo Baoning quickly realized what was happening and acted swiftly, contacting several newspapers in no time.

Before leaving get off work that afternoon, Huo Baoning reported to Yang Jun again.

"Boss, I have done as you instructed and used five million to acquire eight media outlets, including the Hong Kong Star Daily, Hong Kong Financial News, and Hong Kong Entertainment News."

Hong Kong has a highly developed media industry, with hundreds of newspapers of all sizes.

"Director Huo, you did a great job!"

The Star Daily News is one of the three largest newspapers in Hong Kong in terms of circulation and has a great influence in Hong Kong. It is unexpected that Huo Baoning was able to persuade the boss to sell this well-known newspaper.

Huo Baoning is a smart man. He remembered that his boss, Yang Jun, had been to the mainland some time ago. His boss is very popular now!
No matter what, following the boss is always the right thing to do. If the boss is successful, I'll be successful too!
"Understood, boss!"

Yang Jun was in high spirits after acquiring Sing Tao Daily and originally wanted to celebrate with Zhu Baoyi.

Ahua hurriedly walked in from the door and said to Yang Jun:

"Boss, we have news. A group of Japanese people are planning to smuggle themselves into Kobe."

Oh, Yang Jun's eyes lit up; the rats had finally been caught.

These days, Yang Jun has been targeting everyone in the Yamada Group in Japan to instill fear in the people behind them. These people are carrying cases and certainly won't leave the country through legitimate channels; instead, they'll choose to smuggle themselves out.

Human smuggling in Hong Kong is controlled by triads. Whether it's the Number Gang, Hung Hing, or Luen Shing, Yang Jun has informants among them.

But when these islanders contacted human traffickers, the traffickers relayed this information to Yang Jun.

"Alright, Wang Jianjun can get started now!"

Lung Kwu Tan in Tuen Mun is a place rife with smuggling due to its remote location, with private piers everywhere.

On a beach, two cars were parked on the road, and ten men were smoking and waiting anxiously.

Yamamoto Taniyu glanced at his watch; it was already midnight, the time they had agreed upon with the smuggler.

"Yamamoto-kun, these Hong Kong people wouldn't be lying to us, would they?"

Hideo looked around uneasily, feeling that he was in danger.

"No rush, something must have delayed things! Let's wait a bit longer~"

Yamamoto Tanigu tried to remain calm, smoking a cigarette while his eyes searched the sea surface until he finally spotted a light.

"They're here, signal them to come!"

Hideo breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he had been too nervous, and then picked up a flashlight and shone it on the sea.

"The code is three long and two short."

If you were Chinese, you would know that this code is somewhat unlucky! But these islanders don't understand. They shone their flashlights on the sea a few times, three long ones and two short ones.

The other side responded with three long and two short signals, confirming that the code had been matched and that the fishing boat on the other side was their smuggling vessel.

Yamamoto Tani led the group up to the fishing boat, carrying large and small bags. The fishing boat was small, with only three people on board: a captain and two crew members.

"Yamamoto, please pay the remaining balance!"

The boat captain, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, smiled and extended his hand to Yamamoto Taniyu.

Yamamoto Taniyu nodded and winked at Hideo behind him. Hideo took out a wad of Hong Kong dollars from his bag, about 3.4, and stuffed it all into the hands of the smuggler captain.

The boatman took the money, counted it, and put it in his jacket pocket with satisfaction. He then said:

"Tell your men to hide in the cabin and not to come out under any circumstances!"

"If customs and coast guard find out, they will arrest us all."

The captain walked out of the cabin, leaving the islanders behind. Hideo and the others breathed a sigh of relief; they would be safe once they boarded the ship!
Although these smugglers are greedy, they are very familiar with the routes used by ships, so there are basically no problems!
Soon, the relaxed group fell into a deep sleep, leaving only Hideo on night watch, and the sound of the motor outside stopped.

Hideo couldn't hear the engine and immediately became alert. He went out of the cabin and was terrified to find that the captain and his two crew members were gone.

"Baka! Something's happened~ Get up quickly."

Hideo shouted outside the cabin, waking all the islanders. They rushed out of the cabin and saw a light on the sea.

"Damn it! The boat captain's over there!"

Hideo saw a speedboat rapidly leaving about 100 meters away, so he drew his gun and fired. However, due to the distance and the speedboat's high speed, they could only watch helplessly as it drove away.

"What do we do? The boat captain has already run away?"

The islanders on the boat were all sweating profusely. None of them knew how to sail, and even if they did, they couldn't tell which way to go at sea.

"Damn it! Where am I?"

Is it the waters off Hong Kong or already in international waters?

While the islanders on board were in a state of panic and still worried about sailing,
Suddenly, the roar of engines came from all around, and more than a dozen speedboats rapidly approached from a distance, riding the waves towards the fishing boat.

Brothers Wang Jianjun and Wang Jianguo stood on a speedboat, with Wang Jianguo firing a burst of bullets at the fishing boat from his AK47.

More than 30 special forces members on more than a dozen speedboats fired wildly at the fishing boat.

"Brothers, we're already in international waters. Let's kill these bastards!"

No country or region has sovereignty over the high seas, making it a no-man's-land where there are no laws governing it!

Upon hearing that it was about killing ordinary people, these retired veterans became highly excited and began firing wildly at the fishing boat, shooting bullets as if they were free.

Da da da da da da
On the fishing boat, screams rose and fell as the islanders collapsed one by one. Even Yamamoto Tani was shot and lay motionless outside the cabin.

"Damn it! Who are these people? Their firepower is so intense!"

"Fight back! Fight back!"

Hideo and the other four uninjured islanders crouched down and fired a few shots at the speedboat, but their firepower was too weak to cause any damage.

The island nation suffered increasing casualties, with almost everyone wounded, and the entire army was on the verge of annihilation!
Despair filled Hideo's eyes; he had been shot in the thigh, and blood was gushing out.

Five of the ten islanders have died, and the remaining five are all injured or disabled, either seriously wounded or unable to move.

Hideo realized that the enemies facing them were not ordinary gang members, but rather well-trained mercenaries. They could easily be blown to bits by both firepower and marksmanship.

As the gunfire subsided, Hideo looked up and saw several speedboats approaching the fishing boat.

Are they coming up? Hideo wanted to resist, but he was powerless, so he smiled bitterly and put down the gun in his hand.

Six masked men in black combat uniforms jumped onto the fishing boat, pointed their AK47 assault rifles at the islanders, and coldly said:

"Don't move! If you move, I'll kill you all!" Hidefumi looked up in shock at the people in front of him. Their equipment and mannerisms made them look like regular soldiers from the military.

A bulletproof helmet, a tactical vest, two guns, an AK47 automatic rifle in hand, a Glock 21 holstered on his waist, and two grenades.

Holy crap! Who are these people? Did we run into a regular army?
"Have you got the wrong people? We're illegal immigrants, please don't kill us!"

Wang Jianjun sneered and stepped on Xiufu's hand holding the gun, causing the pistol to fall to the ground.

"What legitimate illegal immigrant carries a gun? You must be from the Yamada Group, right?"

"Our boss has been looking for you for days!"

Hidefumi's pupils dilated, and despair filled his heart. This group of people had come for them, and this time they were likely doomed to die!

"Take them all away!"

Apart from three islanders who survived, the remaining seven people remained on the fishing boat, which was then burned down.

Screams echoed from the secret base of the Chinese security company.

Ten minutes later, Wang Jianguo, humming a little tune, came up from the basement and said to Wang Jianjun:

"Brother, I've already confessed!"

Wang Jianjun, with a stern face, reprimanded:
"How many times have I told you? Here you should address people by their titles, call them Captain!"

Wang Jianguo smiled brightly and said:

"Captain, Xiao Rizi has confessed. Here is what he confessed!"

Wang Jianjun nodded in satisfaction. His brothers, a total of 50, had been officially formed into a special operations brigade. They were all retired veterans and were trained in the same way as the military.

As a veteran, Wang Jianjun naturally became the leader of this group of old soldiers, serving as the battalion commander, while Dajun was the deputy battalion commander.

Giant Group

Yang Jun obtained the confession from Xiao Rizi provided by Wang Jianjun. Xiu Fu had already confessed that they were hired to attack Yang Jun at the company gate.

"So they're businessmen from an island nation? No wonder they're so despicable! These lowly people deserve to die!"

After reading it, Yang Jun showed the confession to his trusted confidant, Ahua.

"Brother Jun, I didn't expect it was people from Soni Company who did this. They think our VCD players are a threat and plan to eliminate you and take away the patent rights!"

Yang Jun nodded. This was indeed unexpected. He hadn't expected that the person behind it was the Japanese company Soni.

Sonnet is a multinational corporation based in an island nation. Its products include home audio-visual products, digital video cameras, digital cameras, and personal audio products.

The VCD players produced by Feida Technology dealt a significant blow to the sales of video recorders produced by Suoni, so they sent someone to kill Yang Jun, causing Feida Technology to fail before it even began.

Soni had previously approached Feida Technology with an offer of HK$15 billion, but Yang Jun rejected it!
It's unbelievable that a company as large as Soni would resort to hiring someone to commit murder. The business world is not much more noble than gangs; both are backed by the bloody knife of capital.

"Ahua, our intelligence cannot be limited to Hong Kong. We must boldly expand outwards, establishing a presence in Macau, Taiwan, Tokyo, and the mainland!"

Yang Jun knew that as his business grew, so did the competition he faced.

Intelligence work is very important. Yang Jun allocated 10 million yuan as funding to allow Ahua to build an intelligence network throughout East Asia.

"Yes, Brother Jun!"

When Ahua received the money, he felt a great sense of responsibility. Brother Jun trusted him a lot, and he could not let him down!
Yang Jun patted Ahua on the shoulder with a smile, trusting Ahua's calm and steady personality.

Take your time, I believe in you~

"Thank you, Brother Jun~"

After Ahua left, Yang Jun's smile faded as he thought about the underhanded tactics of Soni Company.

"You want to play like this? I'm afraid you can't handle it!"

Yang Jun's original idea was that it was a business transaction, and he wanted to resolve the issue through business means, with everyone acting within the rules and avoiding the use of violence.

Looking back now, I realize how naive I was. Capital is all about expansion by any means necessary!
In particular, multinational capital controls greater resources, disregards the laws of any particular country, and employs even more unscrupulous methods!
The sound of a mobile phone interrupted Yang Jun's thoughts.

"Hello! This is Yang Jun, who is this?"

Back then, mobile phones didn't have caller ID, so you had to ask who it was every time.

"Mr. Yang, I'm Wang Zuxianla. I'd like to ask you for some advice on acting."

"Do you have time?"

Wang Zuxian had no other choice; she wasn't familiar with Yang Jun, so she could only use this lame excuse!

Asking for acting advice? Yang Jun's lips twitched. He had only acted in one movie, and to be honest, his acting skills were just so-so!
What was Wang Zuxian up to? Yang Jun knew perfectly well: the underlings in the gang wanted to rise to the top, and the actors wanted to rise to the top too!

"I'd like to invite you to dinner at the Peninsula Hotel at 6 PM."

Yang Jun offered to treat Wang Zuxian to dinner, which delighted Wang Zuxian. After hanging up the phone, she immediately got ready, intending to look her best before meeting her boss.

Luxury cars lined the entrance to the Peninsula Hotel, and Wang Zuxian felt somewhat guilty as he got out of the taxi.

"Miss Wang, over here!"

Yang Jun waved to Wang Zuxian and stood at the hotel entrance. When he saw Wang Zuxian's attire, his eyes lit up.

Wang Zuxian wore an off-shoulder evening gown that accentuated her tall and shapely figure. Standing at 73 meters tall, she was strikingly beautiful with her delicate features and elegant and charming demeanor.
"Miss Wang, you look so beautiful today!"

"Mr. Yang, you're very handsome too!"

Wang Zuxian glanced at the tall and handsome Yang Jun, blushed, and was somewhat afraid to meet Yang Jun's eyes.

"Come on, let's go inside together~"

Yang Jun naturally took Wang Zuxian's hand, because Wang Zuxian was wearing high heels and an evening gown, which made it easy for her to fall.

"What a gentleman the boss is!" Wang Zuxian thought to himself with delight.

The two sat in the Peninsula Hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, enjoying delicious food and admiring the beautiful view of Victoria Harbour!
"Ms. Wang, are you from Taiwan? Do you plan to develop your career in Hong Kong long-term?"

"Of course! But with so many female artists in the company, they might not necessarily promote me."

Wang Zuxian knew very well that she was lucky to get the lead role this time, but she wouldn't be so lucky next time.

Fame is something that either progresses or declines. If you become famous for a movie for a year or two, but then you're relegated to the sidelines, who will remember you?

Wang Zuxian was very anxious. She knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in Hong Kong, she needed someone to protect her!
