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

Chapter 129, Section 128: Dongsheng Finance Company – Sha Mengdeng is furious!
Wu Yusheng quickly waved his hand and said modestly:
"What do you mean by 'Hong Kong's No. 1 director'? That's just media nonsense. Chen Long of Golden Harvest is more famous than me!"

Chen Long of Golden Harvest, who directs and stars in his own films, is indeed much more popular than Wu Yusheng, and his films also have high box office returns!
Wang Jin watched his good friend Wu Yusheng go from obscurity to becoming a top director in Hong Kong, and he felt envious, jealous, and resentful.

He's also a director, but he's always been an assistant director. When will he be able to stand on his own?

"Boss, when can I make a movie?"

Yang Jun jokingly said with a smile:
"Haven't you always been a director?"

Wang Jin, the chubby boy, got anxious and said to Yang Jun:

"Boss, I meant directing independently, not being someone else's assistant director, but a big-budget production!"

Yang Jun patted Wang Jin on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Is an investment of ten million Hong Kong dollars big enough? This movie is called 'God of Gamblers'."

What? A ten million investment?
This is a huge investment in the film industry. A typical movie is considered a big production with a budget of 4.5 million. With an investment of 10 million, the box office needs to exceed 20 million to break even!
Wang Jin's eyes widened in astonishment. Was it really that exciting?

"Boss, I promise I'll make a great movie, you won't be disappointed!"

Wang Jin confidently assured him that this film was a gambling movie he was most familiar with, having previously directed "The King of Gamblers vs. The King of Gamblers" for another company.

A gambling movie?

He Xinqiong glanced at Yang Jun. He was planning to use the movie to develop the business of Macau and gambling ships. The movie craze would definitely stimulate the gambling enthusiasm of Hong Kong people, but she wondered how many more families would be ruined and people would die!

The film company's general manager, Shi Nansheng, hesitated, expressing some concerns. Was it too risky to let Wang Jin independently direct this film, which was a big-budget production with an investment of 1 million?

The male and female celebrities around them gathered around, all of them drooling over the film with its ten million Hong Kong dollars investment.

Wang Jin seized the opportunity to ask:

"Boss, who are the male and female leads?"

The company's boss wouldn't normally interfere with the casting of the male and female leads; at most, he would only interfere with the casting of the female lead. The director was also quite sensible.

But since Yang Jun wrote the script for this movie, he naturally has the most say in it.

Director Wang Jin is just a tool, a miserable beast of burden!
Yang Jun said with a smile:

"The male lead is Afa, and the female lead is He Xinqiong."

Zhou Ruifa and the others are all well-known, and his acting skills are undeniable. But who is this He Xinqiong? Why is she chosen to play the female lead?
Some actresses were indignant, including Arun (Kristy Wu).

This pretty girl must have gotten in through connections again, shameless bastard.
Since following Yang Jun, Arun has played supporting roles in several movies, but due to her acting skills, she has not yet played a leading role.

On the outskirts of the crowd, two young men were standing on tiptoe, extremely anxious!

They are Andy Lau and Tony Leung, who just joined Giants Movies. They switched from TVB to Giants Movies to act in movies and make a fortune!

Giants has produced several box office champions, attracting many talented actors to try their luck.

However, given their seniority, they could only stay on the outermost edge, unable to even touch the boss's collar, and could only look at people from the outside.

Yang Jun spotted Andy Lau at a glance, his eyes lighting up. Andy Lau had come to his company?
This is a big shot, a future superstar, a real money tree!
"Make way! Don't block Mr. Yang's way."

The bodyguard shoved Liu Dehua aside, and Yang Jun frowned. He then walked over and stood in front of Liu Dehua.

"Your name is Andy Lau?"

When Liu Dehua saw the smiling Yang Jun across from him, his expression brightened. "Mr. Yang, do you know me? And do you even know my name?"

The surrounding artists were also puzzled. How could Mr. Yang know an intern? Was he a relative of the boss? So they kept Andy Lau in mind.

"Mr. Yang, I am Liu Dehua. Do you know me?"

Yang Jun patted Liu Dehua on the shoulder with a smile and said:

"You'll be even more famous than Jackie Chan in the future, and all Chinese people will know you!"

"Wang Jin, arrange a role for Andy Lau in the new movie, but of course, he has to pass the audition!"

Wang Jin and everyone else were stunned. More famous than Chen Long? Mr. Yang's evaluation was too high. Just who is this Andy Lau?

Wang Jin has already decided that as long as Andy Lau's audition is even slightly acceptable, he will give the role of the second male lead to this newcomer.

Andy Lau is really good-looking, only slightly less so than the boss. He's definitely one of the best.

Leung Chiu-wai, who was standing next to him, was so envious he cried. They both switched from Asia Television, so how come Andy Lau took off?

He Xinqiong also officially joined the film company. Anyway, if she doesn't become famous through acting, she can go home and inherit her family's vast fortune.

The two arrived at Arun's upscale apartment. This apartment was also bought by Yang Jun and given to Arun. The price wasn't expensive, only a little over a million!

To express his gratitude, Arun insisted on playing the female lead in the movie.

"Brother Jun, they're all your women, you can't favor one over the other!"

Yang Jun glared at Arun, knowing that Arun was unhappy that He Xinqiong, a newcomer, could support the female lead.

"Don't be jealous, he brought his own investment to the project, investing 300 million in the film!"

"Besides, she is the daughter of He Xin from Macau. You should know He Xin, right?"

What? So curly? He Xin's woman is making movies too?

And she's paid to join the crew? Wow! Why would she stay home like a pampered princess and come to make a movie?
Seeing Arun's indignant expression, Yang Jun smiled and comforted him:
"Alright! With your acting skills, you can only play some decorative roles. I'll give you the second female lead role in the God of Gamblers movie."

The second female lead doesn't have many scenes, just a minute or two, so the acting requirements aren't that high, and it doesn't matter if it's given to Arun.

Upon hearing that she was playing the second female lead, Arun excitedly hugged Yang Jun's face and kissed him.

Yang Jun's mobile phone, which was placed on the bedside table, rang. Yang Jun answered the phone. This mobile phone was Yang Jun's private phone, and very few people knew this number; most of them were Yang Jun's close friends.

"Hello, is this Mr. Huo?"

The caller was Huo Yingdong, who invited Yang Jun to join the mainland inspection team.

“Ah Jun, this time it was Beijing that personally instructed our Hong Kong delegation to go to the mainland for inspection. It’s a very high-level invitation. I recommend you as the deputy head of the delegation.”

Yang Jun was taken aback! Deputy Regiment Commander?
"Old Huo, you think too highly of me. How could I possibly be qualified to be the deputy regimental commander?"

The delegations that went to the mainland were all famous Hong Kong tycoons, each with a net worth of billions. Ordinary businessmen simply did not qualify.

Huo Yingdong said with a smile:
"Haha! Ah Jun, you're too modest. You're the richest man in Hong Kong. Logically speaking, you're more than qualified to be a regimental commander!"

"Alright, let's set off next week and head to Shenzhen together!"

Yang Jun readily agreed. Since it was an organization from Beijing, he naturally had to give them face, as he also wanted to do business in the mainland in the future!

"Okay, see you next week then~"

Yang Jun hung up the phone. He had originally planned to go to Hong Kong University to see JOJO, as he hadn't seen the little girl in a long time.

Before Yang Jun could even make the call, JOJO called back, sounding anxious.

"Brother Jun, I'm surrounded by a lot of people! They're all so fierce, please come and save me!"

What? You've been cornered?
Yang Jun immediately asked:

"where are you?"

“Dong Sheng Finance Company in Shek Kip Mei.” Yang Jun hung up the phone and immediately drove over, while simultaneously calling Nine-Dragon from the car.

"Send someone to Dongsheng Finance Company!"

"Yes, boss!"

Nine-Dragon was in a nightclub with two girls in his arms, one of whom was a foreigner. There were expensive foreign liquors on the table. He really knew how to enjoy himself!
"Stop drinking! Something's happened! Mr. Yang wants us to do something!"

Ah! Upon hearing that it was about Mr. Yang, the leaders under Nine-Dragon immediately came to their senses and pushed away the women beside them.

"Ah Hao, gather the men and head to Dong Sheng Finance Company!"

"Damn it! These Tung Sing bastards are still causing trouble? Do they want to die?"

Several leaders immediately went out to make phone calls, and soon more than a dozen vans were dispatched to Dongsheng Finance Company.

The entrance to Dongsheng Finance Company.

JOJO and her best friend Xiao Ai were surrounded by dozens of short, stocky men, all henchmen of Dongxing Sha Mengdeng. They cursed at Xiao Ai:

"It's only right to pay back debts! You owe our company 300,000 yuan. As long as you pay back 300,000 yuan, I will return the photos to you!"

Xiao Ai was furious when she heard this. She had borrowed 3000 yuan a month ago, and in just one month, the principal and interest had ballooned to 30 yuan. Even loan sharks don't have this kind of interest.

"I only borrowed 3000 yuan, how could it be so much!"

Xiao Ai and JOJO, two seemingly frail women, retreated repeatedly, while JOJO bravely stood in front of her best friend.

Dongxing's cat sneered and said arrogantly:
"The interest rate might be higher, but we brothers also need to eat. If you can't repay the loan, don't lend it to us!"

"I'm warning you, if you don't pay me back this week, I'll send the photos to your home and school, hehe!"

Xiao Ai was terrified and hid behind JOJO, begging for mercy:
"Brother Cat, please don't! Please don't let my photos get out of print."

When Xiao Ai borrowed money, she took nude photos and sent them to these short mules. Now they're holding her hostage, and calling the police won't help.

Cat Boy's face showed a playful expression as he teased:

"No! No!"

"I'll tell you, I've already thought of a solution for you: go work as a hostess at my nightclub and slowly pay off your debts!"

JOJO understood that these short mules were deliberately trying to scam her best friend, and she would never be able to pay back the money.

"I'll pay this money for her, and you can return the photos to her?"

What? You're going to pay this bill? Cat Boy looked closely at JOJO and noticed that the girl was wearing designer clothes, so she must be a rich heiress, and she had an extraordinary air about her!

However, he still doesn't believe there are such kind people in the world who are willing to give 30 yuan to help their friend!
The kitten said with a smile:

"Great! Cash on delivery!"

Of course, JOJO wouldn't be that stupid. What if these short mules tricked her and she didn't get the photos back? Wouldn't that mean losing 30 yuan?

"Wait a minute, let's talk about it when my boyfriend gets here!"

Of course, the kittens are no problem. Those short mules have nothing to do all day and plenty of time!

Five minutes later, more than ten Mercedes-Benz W14s and luxury business vans screeched to a halt at the entrance, and hundreds of men wearing sunglasses and suits rushed out of the cars, carrying weapons such as watermelon knives and baseball bats.

Good heavens! Gangsters in suits?
My best friend Xiao Ai was almost scared to tears when another group of even more ferocious people arrived.
"Who are you?"

When Cat saw these burly men in suits, his imposing manner immediately weakened, and his tone softened.

Nine-Dragon got out of the car, ignoring Cat Boy, and walked up to JOJO, bowing respectfully.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

The hundreds of burly men in suits behind them also said in unison:
"Hello, sister-in-law!"

Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai's best friend, was completely bewildered. What did they call JOJO? Sister-in-law?

Club leader's wife? JOJO doesn't seem like a club leader's wife at all. JOJO is very low-key at school. Although she comes from a wealthy family, she will always step forward to help her classmates if they need anything.

Only then did the kitten from Tung Sing recognize Nine-Tattooed Dragon, and it said fiercely:

"Nine-Dragon, what business is it of yours and Luen Shing regarding our Tung Sing's debts?"

Nine-Dragon sneered, walked over and kicked the kitten, sending it flying two meters away.

"Fuck your mother! Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?"

Cat Boy's henchmen saw that Nine-Dragon had many people, so they slowly retreated.

Sha Mengdeng came out of the house, a cigar dangling from his lips, and watched his underlings' performance, muttering "useless trash!"
"Nine-Dragon, what do you mean? This is a debt of our Dongxing. It's only right to pay back debts!"

Just as Nine-Dragon was about to speak, his underling whispered something in his ear.

"Mr. Yang has arrived!"

The well-dressed henchmen parted to make way for the two of them, and Yang Jun slowly walked out.

"Jun-ge, you're finally here! Waaaaah!"

JOJO saw Yang Jun and immediately rushed over, as if she had found her pillar of support.

This is JOJO's boyfriend. Her best friend, Xiao Ai, has wide eyes and can hardly believe her eyes.

This is Mr. Yang, the richest man in Hong Kong. She had seen Yang Jun's photo in the newspaper before, but she never expected that JOJO's boyfriend was him.

My best friend Xiao Ai feels that the world is unfair. She borrowed money from loan sharks for 3000 yuan, while her best friend's boyfriend is the richest man in Hong Kong. People are just different!
After Yang Jun understood the cause and effect of the matter, he immediately realized what kind of shady business Sha Mengdenggan was up to.
Isn't this just like the student loans from the past? It turns out it appeared in Hong Kong in the 80s, with interest rates even higher than loan sharks, and a scheme to force good people into prostitution. This Sha Mengdeng really has a business mind, but it's a mind that seeks to make money through shady means.

"Sha Mengdeng, no way! Bullying a little girl!"

"You Tung Sing have really disgraced the Hung Society, even going so far as to deceive female students?"

Sha Mengdeng was scolded until his face turned red. It was indeed very shameful to do such a thing!
"Handsome Jun, what are you pretending to be, some saint? If you're so kind, just pay off her debts!"

Sha Mengdeng snorted coldly, inwardly disdainful. "Have you killed fewer people than me, Handsome? What are you pretending for?"

"Okay, I'll pay it for her. It's only 3000 yuan, and with a little interest, 4000 yuan should be enough!"

Yang Jun took out 4000 yuan from his pocket, handed it to Sha Mengdeng, and joked:

"Cash on delivery, hand over the photos!"

Yang Jun said with a smile, his tone leaving no room for refusal!

Sha Mengdeng's face darkened. 4000 yuan? Is that how you treat a beggar?
Seeing that Sha Mengdeng hadn't spoken for a while, Yang Jun teased:

"How about we have our underlings start the fight, and you can choose the location?"

Sha Meng Deng was furious, but he didn't have the courage to start a war with Wo Luen Shing. His face was grim as he said:

"Give her the photo!"
