Hong Kong variety show: I can boost loyalty, the most generous boss.
Chapter 109, Chapter 108: Are you teaching me how to do things?
Chapter 109, Question 108: Are you teaching me how to do things?
Li Jiacheng adjusted his glasses and casually uttered a number.
“The two housing estate projects will cost a total of HK$120 billion. Our two companies will each contribute 50% of the investment. If you provide the land, it can offset the land price by HK$15 billion. Your group will only need to come up with HK$15 billion in cash.”
Yang Jun's eyes lit up. What a grand gesture! No wonder he's destined to be Asia's richest man!
Although the total investment for these two projects is 120 billion yuan, in order to collect funds in advance, the real estate developers are selling off-plan properties, which is a pre-sale system.
This pre-sale system has many pitfalls. For example, in later generations, many real estate developers experienced broken capital chains, resulting in a large number of unfinished buildings.
However, the pre-sale system is very friendly to developers, as it can reduce investment costs!
For example, these two large-scale housing estate development projects originally required a total investment of HK$120 billion, but in reality, only HK$60 billion was needed. According to the equity agreement that each party holds 50%, each party contributed HK$30 billion.
Since the land used for the project belongs to Xiangjiang Electric Group, it can be used as collateral for 15 billion yuan, so Yang Juncai has to come up with 15 billion yuan.
“Okay, then let’s each take 50%, and the contractor will be a company responsible for one project, jointly developing Laguna City and South Horizons.”
The two parties signed a contract, marking Yang Jun's first involvement in the development of a large-scale building. He joined forces with Cheung Kong Holdings to develop a super project worth HK$120 billion.
Laguna City, covering 9 hectares, is a high-end residential area with a total area of 720 million square feet and 8200 units, ranging in size from 600 to 900 square feet.
In addition to the housing estate, a 17-square-foot commercial building will also be constructed.
海逸半岛占地16公顷,兴建40栋3000屋住宅楼宇,共1万一千个单位,总楼面积达799万平方英尺。同样另外建设一栋35万平方英尺的商业大厦。
These two projects are arguably the largest real estate projects in Hong Kong's history. Li Ka-shing couldn't handle them alone, so he had to bring in the financially powerful Yang Jun to work on them together!
After finishing their business, the two started chatting casually.
"Ah Jun, we Chaoshan people have a chamber of commerce. We often drink tea and discuss business matters. We'd like to invite you to join us!"
Li Ka-shing is the vice president of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, so he plans to invite Yang Jun to participate as well. Yang Jun's influence is now no less than his own. If he can get Yang Jun to join the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, it will definitely enhance the influence of Chaoshan people in Hong Kong.
“Ah Jun, as you know, our Chaoshan region is the most united, and the same is true in business. The current president is Mr. Zhuang Shiping.”
"If you join the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, you'll at least get a vice-president position. How about it? Consider it?"
Li Ka-shing genuinely wanted to recruit Yang Jun into the association. Yang Jun is currently the boss of several listed companies and is still so young; his future achievements are limitless!
If I had a daughter, I might have married Yang Jun. Now I can only use the excuse of being from the same hometown to recruit Yang Jun into the association!
Hong Kong is a city of immigrants. Before it was opened to foreign trade, the entire city had only a few thousand people, most of whom were immigrants from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, Guangdong Province, and Fujian Province.
People from the same place formed cliques and groups, with various chambers of commerce and associations, all based on their hometown ties.
Hong Kong is predominantly inhabited by Cantonese and Hakka people, who make up more than 70% of the population. Of course, there are also many Teochew people, numbering over one million. They share a common dialect and live in Hong Kong with a sense of mutual support.
Among the many chambers of commerce, the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce is also the most financially powerful. It has prominent figures such as Zhuang Shiping of Nanyang Bank, Lin Baixin of Lai Sun Group, and Li Ka-shing.
"Okay, I'm ready to join anytime!"
Yang Jun nodded and agreed to join the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. They were all from the same hometown, and he would definitely support the chamber of commerce of his fellow townsmen.
In Hong Kong, the most important thing in doing business is personal connections. With the help of fellow townsmen, you can achieve twice the results with half the effort in any business!
Li Jiacheng was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately offered to treat Yang Jun to a meal and introduce him to the other bigwigs in the Chamber of Commerce!
That evening, Li Ka-shing hosted a dinner at the Peninsula Hotel, where he introduced Yang Jun to the bigwigs of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce.
As soon as Yang Jun entered the private room, he saw the three big shots inside stand up, and Li Jiacheng, acting as the middleman, began to introduce them.
"This is Mr. Zhuang, the owner of Nanyang Commercial Bank!"
Yang Jun's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to shake hands with Mr. Zhuang. Zhuang Shiping was rather short and a bit older than Li Ka-shing!
"Mr. Zhuang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Mr. Zhuang was a patriotic businessman who made important contributions to the country during the War of Resistance against Japan. In Hong Kong, he was an absolute leftist, extremely popular.
Yang Jun had great respect for this kind of person and felt somewhat flattered!
"Mr. Yang, you're so young! Haha~"
Mr. Zhuang was also very enthusiastic towards Yang Jun, after all, Mr. Zhuang had long heard about Yang Jun's large investments in mainland China!
Old Zhuang pulled Yang Jun to sit next to him and introduced him to another bigwig from Chaoshan, Lin Baixin, the textile tycoon.
"Uncle Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you! You are the pride of us Chaoshan merchants!"
"Mr. Yang, you're too kind! I'm far inferior to you!"
Everyone flattered each other in the business world, and Yang Jun quickly became familiar with everyone.
Lim Pak-sin was a textile tycoon in Hong Kong, whose main business was the garment industry. He later joined Asia Television and became its owner.
Lim Pak Sin is most famous for his four wives and a series of scandals involving his descendants' lack of ambition and property disputes. He is considered one of the more well-known wealthy families in Hong Kong!
“Ah Jun, I’m planning to acquire Crocodile Garments, but I’m a little short on funds. Would you be interested in investing some?”
After they became acquainted, Yang Jun discussed business with Lin Baixin. Lai Sun Group wanted to acquire Crocodile Garments, which would cost a total of HK$17 billion. However, Lai Sun Group did not have that much cash and planned to sell some company shares.
Yang Jun was not very interested in Lai Sun Group, but he was very interested in the 10% stake in Asia Television held by Lim Pak Sin.
"Uncle Lin, why don't you sell me your 10% stake in Asia Television? I'll buy it at a 10% premium!"
Asia Television (ATV) is one of the two local television stations in Hong Kong, the other being TVB, controlled by Shaw Brothers.
Yang Jun had long coveted Asia Television, but since it was under the control of Boss Qiu and was doing well, he had no intention of selling it for the time being.
Therefore, Yang Jun planned to invest in Asia Television first. Asia Television was not listed, and its shares could only be traded among shareholders. He also happened to know that Lin Baixin was eager to cash out.
Lim Pak Sin was taken aback. Sell his 10% stake in Asia Television? Actually, Lim Pak Sin was also interested in Asia Television, but he had never found an opportunity to acquire it.
This time, they were short of funds and since they couldn't control Asia Television anyway, they might as well sell their shares and develop Lai Sun Group's main business.
"Okay, Ah Jun, I can sell you my shares in Asia Television."
The two parties quickly reached an agreement, and Yang Jun spent 12 million to acquire 10% of Asia Television's shares, becoming one of Asia Television's shareholders.
In addition, Yang Jun invested HK$5 million to acquire a 15% stake in Lai Sun Group, becoming one of its major shareholders.
Yang Jun is optimistic about the future of Lai Sun Group and understands that you can't put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to investing. He will make a decisive move on companies with potential!
Yang Jun is now a director of several listed companies, including Cheung Kong Holdings, Hutchison Whampoa, New World Development, and Lai Sun Group.
"Jun, from now on you're one of us!"
"Have some tea, have some tea~"
The Chamber of Commerce is a place for business negotiations. In Hong Kong, interpersonal relationships are very important. There are only a few wealthy families who come and go, and they all run into each other all the time.
The day after the dinner, Yang Jun, with Liang Yongqi in his arms, instructed her:
"Attorney Leung, I have a task for you: to acquire shares in Asia Television!"
Liang Yongqi snorted coldly and said in a coquettish tone:
"Hmph, you only remember me when you need something. You never call me otherwise."
Yang Jun was speechless. This little girl was jealous again. Having too many women wasn't good either; these women were always fighting over him.
"Didn't I satisfy you? You were the one begging for mercy just now!" Liang Yongqi rolled his eyes at Yang Jun and retorted.
"What I want is something spiritual, humph, you wouldn't understand~"
Yang Jun slapped Liang Yongqi on the butt and teased him:
"How about I give you a raise?"
Liang Yongqi was originally going to make a fuss, but his eyes lit up when he heard about the pay raise.
"A raise? By how much?"
"How about an annual salary of two million?"
Liang Yongqi beamed with joy. A two million annual salary was the highest in the Giant Group, even higher than the salaries of Zhan Mi and Huo Baoning!
However, Leung Wing-ki works two jobs, one during the day and the other at night, which is very hard work. The two million is definitely worth it.
Man Mo Temple in Central.
This temple enshrines "Emperor Wen" and "Emperor Wu". Emperor Wenchang holds a writing brush and is in charge of literature and officialdom; Emperor Guansheng wears a green robe and holds a long sword, representing loyalty, righteousness and military strategy.
This is one of the most important locations in Wo Luen Shing, and many important celebrations are held here!
Han Bin stood beneath the statue of Guan Yu, leading hundreds of people in a solemn kneeling ceremony to formally become disciples of He Liansheng.
Like a thunderclap out of nowhere, Yang Jun opened the gates of his mountain stronghold, inviting friends from the martial arts world to witness Han Bin joining Wo Luen Shing.
Since Han Bin joined the group with his own investment, he naturally had to be given some shares. So Yang Jun decided to make Han Bin the leader of the Kwai Tsing area directly, and also gave Han Bin the management of Tuen Mun.
The local bully in Tuen Mun, Sheng Fan, was originally a lackey of the dinosaur. Han Bin was the boss's boss, so getting him to switch sides shouldn't be a problem.
"Jun, with all this commotion, are we afraid the cops will wipe us out?"
Seeing the large crowd of over a thousand people before him, Chuan Bao felt uneasy. What if the cops came looking for trouble and took everyone back to the police station? He and Lian Sheng would lose all face.
Yang Jun sat steadily in the grand chair at the top.
"Uncle Chuanbao, it's alright. I've spoken to the higher-ups in the police force. We'll be holding a folk activity at the Man Mo Temple today, which is an intangible cultural heritage!"
Intangible cultural heritage? I have a vague idea, but it sounds pretty impressive!
Han Bin knelt before Yang Jun and formally acknowledged Yang Jun as his boss.
In the Green Gang, it's called "becoming an apprentice," while in the Hung Gang, it's called "paying homage to a big boss." Whether it's becoming an apprentice or paying homage to a big boss, once the ceremony is performed, one must respect one's teacher and never betray them for life.
"Boss, please have some tea!"
Han Bin held the tea above his head and knelt on the ground respectfully.
Yang Jun took the tea and said with a smile:
"Han Bin, this is a red envelope for you, a transfer fee of five million!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the martial arts world present gasped in shock. A transfer fee of 500 million?
Goodness! Handsome Jun is indeed a super-rich man; he gave his underling a red envelope containing five million?
Some other triad leaders were eager to join in, all wanting to become Yang Jun's underlings. Even Ah Wu from the Number Gang was willing to risk his life for it.
Ah Wu really wanted to rush up and ask Handsome Jun if he was still taking on underlings, so that Ah Wu could lead all the men from the Yongzi group to switch sides!
Just as many martial arts figures were discussing the matter, two short, stocky men suddenly pulled out guns and shouted at Han Bin:
"Traitor Han Bin, die!"
Before anyone could react, Yang Jun kicked Han Bin away, and the bullet grazed Han Bin's body.
Yang Jun's face darkened, and he gave the order to everyone:
"catch him!"
Just as the two assassins drew their guns and fired, the Wo Luen Shing underlings swarmed forward and subdued one of the Hung Hing assassins.
Seeing that things were going badly, the other assassin was about to fire when Luo Tianhong rushed forward and swiftly swung her gun at the assassin's arm.
The assassin screamed as his entire arm fell to the ground.
Luo Tianhong held a sword to the assassin's neck and coldly mocked:
"How can you kill someone if you can't even hold a gun properly?"
Wu Sheng, standing to the side, was speechless. He had been fooled again!
That wasn't the end of it. Another assassin rushed out from the crowd, swung his knife, and slashed at Han Bin's face.
Han Bin used his hand to shield himself, and his arm was covered in blood and gore!
"Ahhhh!!!"
The knife-wielding assassin tried to swing his knife again, but Yang Jun kicked him, sending him flying two or three meters away.
The knife-wielding assassin flew two or three meters before collapsing to the ground, vomiting blood. Everyone around was stunned!
Wow! Handsome Jun is really good at fighting?
The knife-wielding assassin was also subdued, and Han Bin was surrounded by a group of Wo Luen Shing henchmen.
"Brother Jun, these three short mules are all from Hung Hing, but they come from different branches!"
Ahua, Feiji, and the others quickly surrounded Yang Jun, forming a circle around him.
"I'm fine, their target is Han Bin."
Yang Jun was unharmed, but Han Bin was in a terrible state; his right hand was chopped into a bloody mess.
"Get Han Bin to the hospital and send more people to protect him!"
At this moment, Jia Qianwu walked over, raised his eyebrows, and said:
"It's no use. Hung Hing's Chiang Tin-yeung has issued a kill order for Han Bin, with a reward of 300 million. Han Bin is a hot commodity right now!"
"Give me 500 million, and I'll take care of Jiang Tianyang for you!"
Jia Qianwu stretched out his hand and said in a serious tone.
Yang Jun was speechless. So, you can always find business opportunities for Qian Wu, right?
Killing Jiang Tianyang? That's not a good idea; it will only make the police turn their attention to you.
Upon hearing that he was wanted, Han Bin's expression changed drastically, but he mustered his courage and said:
"Brother Jun, this whole thing is aimed at me, I can handle it myself~"
Yang Jun snorted coldly and said to Han Bin:
"You're my little brother, I've got your back! Nobody can touch you!"
Yang Jun's words deeply moved Han Bin, increasing his loyalty by 10.
Jia Qianwu, standing to the side, was excited. Protecting Han Bin meant taking down Jiang Tianyang, and he quickly said:
Give me 500 million, and I'll take care of it for you.
Yang Jun's face was cold and stern as he grabbed Jia Qianwu by the neck and said:
"Are you teaching me what to do?"
Jia Qianwu felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and cold sweat poured down his face!
