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

Chapter 132, Question 131: You call ten billion a small amount?

Looking at the upright Ma Jun, Li Ying couldn't bear to see this good policeman go astray, so he patiently persuaded him:

“Inspector Ma, you should focus your attention on other triads in Hong Kong. Under Mr. Yang’s leadership, the Wo Shing triad has transformed into less harmful gray industries such as nightclubs, horse ranches, and smuggling in the past two years.”

"This world is not just black and white, but also has gray areas. Our police force's mission is to maintain public order, and this would not have been possible without Mr. Yang's strong support!"

Li Ying glanced at Ma Jun's police car, a Mazda sedan, and muttered:

"Did you know that your police car was donated to the Hong Kong Police Force by Mr. Yang? He donated a total of 30 police cars to the Police Force, including yours. If it weren't for this police car, would you have been able to catch so many criminals?"

Ma Jun stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. His police car had been donated by Handsome Jun?

He knew that the police department was short of funds and occasionally accepted donations from wealthy people in society, but he never expected that his police car was made by Yang Jun.

"Damn! Is it really fake?"

"How could it be fake? Let me tell you something else: Li Junxia, ​​who was just promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police, is a good friend of Mr. Yang!"

"Do you understand now? Hong Kong is a Hong Kong for the rich. Even the top police commissioner is wary of Mr. Yang!"

Li Ying's words made Ma Jun fall into deep thought.

This world is a little different from what he knew. Li Junxia? He's the pride of Chinese police officers, the first Chinese to be promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police!

In Shenzhen, a large convoy arrived at the Shekou Industrial Zone.

Yang Jun has come to the mainland again. This time, he came to Shenzhen and felt that it was different from a year ago. There are more high-rise buildings, and pedestrians on the street are wearing blue work clothes with happy smiles on their faces!
"Welcome, distinguished guests, to Pengcheng. I am the mayor of Pengcheng, and my surname is Lin."

Mayor Lin was a newly appointed mayor whom Yang Jun had never met before. However, he spotted an acquaintance in the welcoming crowd—Director Bai, whom he had met before, who was smiling and greeting him.

"Ah Jun, this isn't your first time in Shenzhen, is it?"

Li Jiacheng leaned over and whispered something to Yang Jun.

"This isn't the first time. I came here last year to invest in the Shekou Industrial Zone."

Li Jiacheng lowered his voice and asked tentatively:

"You really have faith in the mainland? Aren't you afraid they'll confiscate your assets?"

Yang Jun looked at Li Jiacheng strangely and asked with a playful expression:
"You don't think it's a good idea? Then why did you come?"

Li Jiacheng chuckled and uttered a thought-provoking remark.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket; I'm just buying insurance."

Yang Jun understood. Li Ka-shing was spending money to buy peace of mind, making investments on multiple fronts, mainly playing the role of a fence-sitter who is two-faced. Coming to the mainland was just for show, and he would only invest a small amount.

I believe that most of the Hong Kong business delegation members have this mentality; they're just going through the motions!
Li Ka-shing and Yang Jun then got into the same car and drove to the Nanhai Hotel in Shekou. Li Ka-shing asked with a smile:

"Since we've finally made it back to the mainland, how about we go back to Chaoshan?"

Four years ago, Li Ka-shing returned to the Chaoshan region and donated a lot of money to temples and invested in a university in his hometown, which can be considered a wealthy return home!
Yang Jun's eyes lit up; this was a great suggestion! Although he was born in Hong Kong, his family had long since passed away!

However, I heard that he has some relatives in the mainland, quite a few at that. This time when he goes back to the Chaoshan area, he can repair the ancestral graves and also fix up the ancestral hall!
Both Fujian and Chaoshan regions place great importance on clan and are very superstitious, valuing these things highly!

"Of course! I'll make time to go back to Chaoshan!"

The two sat in the car. Yang Jun watched as four police cars led the way and the road was blocked off. There were no other vehicles on the road, only the delegation's convoy.

"We've been treated like giant pandas and are being protected; the level of hospitality they're giving us is way too high!"

When ordinary people in Shenzhen saw police cars leading the way, they assumed that some high-ranking officials were coming to inspect the city, so they kept their distance and dared not get close!
The Nanhai Hotel, the only five-star hotel in Shenzhen, was used to host Yang Jun and his entourage.

When Yang Jun last came, the hotel hadn't opened yet. Ahua whispered to Yang Jun:
"This five-star rating is a huge exaggeration! It can't compare to the Peninsula Hotel."

Yang Jun glared at Ahua and scolded him:
"Don't talk nonsense, or someone might overhear you!"

Ah Hua then realized that this was in mainland China, so he obediently followed behind Yang Jun and kept quiet!
Mayor Lin and Director Bai of Pengcheng sat in the main seats. There were three seats in total. According to the position of Deputy Head of Delegation Yang Jun, he was arranged to sit in the chief seat, next to Director Bai.

"Mr. Yang, it's been a long time!"

"Your business is growing bigger and bigger. You're the richest man in Hong Kong and the gambling king of Macau. You're truly amazing!"

When Director Bai met Yang Jun, he couldn't help but sigh that Yang Jun had grown up too fast. Not only was he doing very well in Hong Kong, but he was also on par with He Xin in Macau!
"Director Bai, you flatter me too much. You're so young, yet you hold such a high position, and your abilities are truly outstanding!"

Director Bai is only in his early forties, yet he is already a high-ranking official with no background whatsoever. Yang Jun doesn't believe it.

Yang Jun naturally tried his best to befriend officials with such connections. Both sides had a tacit understanding that winning over the other would be of great benefit to them.

Director Bai, Mayor Lin, and several other officials toasted Yang Jun and his group. Yang Jun drank a few cups, then declined, citing work commitments for the afternoon.

In the afternoon, we visited the Shekou Industrial Zone, which included a visit to the factory of Feida Group, an investment of Yang Jun. Feida Group has now become the largest company in Shenzhen, bar none!

Last year, Feida Group's real estate value in mainland China reached 25 billion yuan, and it paid more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars in taxes. Its GDP accounted for more than 35% of Shenzhen's GDP, making it a major taxpayer.

"Mr. Yang, on behalf of Pengcheng, I thank you. You are a great benefactor to Pengcheng, having solved the employment problem for tens of thousands of people!"

Mayor Lin sincerely thanked Yang Jun, which made Yang Jun a little embarrassed!
He initially invested in Pengcheng because of its cheap labor and proximity to Hong Kong. Little did he expect that he would accidentally build the largest company in Pengcheng!

Feida Group currently has more than 10,000 employees and mainly produces VCD players, televisions, washing machines and other products. In particular, in the VCD player industry, it has a market share of more than 90% in Hong Kong, Macau and other places.

In 1984, Shenzhen had very little foreign investment and was in a state of poverty.

Moreover, Shenzhen is not the only special economic zone; there are four at the same time, with Shenzhen being just one of them. Yang Jun's hometown is also one of the special economic zones.
"You flatter me. It's mainly thanks to you local officials; we're just adding icing on the cake!"

Yang Jun did not take credit, but humbly praised Mayor Lin. The other wealthy people also looked at Yang Jun with new respect. They did not expect this young man to be so bold as to invest so much money in Pengcheng.

Thanks to his connections in Pengcheng, Yang Jun also acquired a lot of land at low prices, after all, Yang Jun is Pengcheng's god of wealth!

Mayor Lin personally hosted a banquet for Hong Kong's VIPs this time in order to attract more investment, so he spent a lot of money to treat many wealthy people to a meal at the South China Sea Hotel.

Hong Kong is very close to Shenzhen, separated only by the sea. Mayor Lin knew that if Shenzhen wanted to stand out among other cities, it had to attract more Hong Kong investment. So he brought in his good friend, Director Bai, to help.

With road closures and police escorts, they went straight to the highest level of hospitality, all to win over these Hong Kong tycoons' investments!

The banquet was held at the Nanhai Hotel on behalf of Mayor Lin, and Yang Jun, along with ship king Bao, Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong, Huo Yingdong, Li Zhaoji, and others, were among the distinguished guests.

After several rounds of drinks, Mayor Lin once again extended an invitation to the guests from Hong Kong to form a group.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we've visited our Shekou Industrial Zone. I wonder if any of you are interested in investing?"

After Mayor Lin finished speaking, all the Hong Kong tycoons looked at each other in bewilderment. Most of them invested in real estate and the financial market and had little interest in manufacturing. After all, real estate and finance are quick ways to make money and can quickly exploit ordinary people, unlike the real manufacturing industry where people work hard to earn money. They also don't have the monopolistic technology like Yang Jun, so of course they are not interested in investing in industrial parks.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Huo Yingdong took the initiative to speak:
"Our Huo Group is investing 1 million yuan to build a garment factory in Shekou!"

Ten million? Mayor Lin's expression softened. Old Huo was still the most reliable person. Although ten million was far less than the investment of Feida Group, it was still a considerable gain.

"Thank you, Mr. Huo, for your support of Pengcheng. And what about everyone else?"

Mayor Lin looked expectantly at the tycoons who had not yet spoken, including Bao, Li Ka-shing, Cheng Yu-tung, and Li Zhaoji, who were the key targets that Pengcheng wanted to win over.

Li Ka-shing hesitated, explaining that his trip to the mainland was merely a formality, as it was a crucial period for negotiations and Li Ka-shing did not want to offend the Japanese, whose businesses were all located in Hong Kong.

"Mayor Lin, our Cheung Kong Group has no plans to invest in the mainland yet; we need to conduct further research!"

Although Director Bai and Mayor Lin's expressions remained unchanged, their hearts skipped a beat. If Li Jiacheng had this attitude, then the others would probably be in the same boat!

As expected, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, and others said they needed to think about it further and that the investment matter had to be discussed in a meeting back in Hong Kong, which was in effect a tacit rejection.

The shipping magnate was very generous, saying he would contribute 2000 million yuan to build a small dock in Shenzhen. This made Mayor Lin extremely happy, as he could finally give an explanation to his superiors.

Apart from the shipping magnate, everyone else was in a wait-and-see mode and did not express any intention to invest. They did not have the financial strength to hire the shipping magnate and dared not offend the Japanese.

Mayor Lin and Director Bai looked at each other in dismay. A total of more than 3 million yuan—this amount was far from the target!

Director Bai could only look at Yang Jun and ask with a smile:

"Mr. Yang, what do you mean?"

Mayor Lin didn't have high hopes, because Yang Jun had already invested HK$7.8 million in Shenzhen, making him the foreign businessman who had invested the most in the city.

This year, Yang Jun was only regarded as an outstanding investment representative, and no one expected him to continue investing. However, Yang Jun is now Pengcheng's last hope!

Yang Jun shrugged and said with a smile:

"I will increase my investment this year, but not by too much!"

Mayor Lin and the other officials all wore expressions of "I knew it," as they had been mentally prepared for this.

"It only costs HK$10 billion to allow Feida Group to expand its production and add production lines!"

As soon as Yang Jun finished speaking, Mayor Lin almost spat out his tea, looking completely astonished!

A billion? You call a billion a small amount?

Is Hong Kong's richest man really that powerful? This is like a high-class Versailles!

Li Ka-shing and others were also stunned by Yang Jun's extravagant investment. He invested 1 billion yuan in Shenzhen in one go. Yang Jun truly deserves the title of Hong Kong's richest man!
But Yang Jun hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Mayor Lin, the 1 billion yuan just now was for expanding production capacity. I hope to triple the size of the factory so that it can accommodate more than 30,000 workers!"

Mayor Lin nodded repeatedly, overjoyed. No matter what request Yang Jun made, he would find a way to agree!

"Mr. Yang, don't worry, I will grant you the land at a low price as industrial land."

As the largest foreign investor in Shenzhen, Yang Jun is essentially the city's god of wealth, able to secure the most favorable terms for land!

In the future, Shenzhen will also be a land where every inch of land is extremely valuable. The land that Yang Jun acquired alone will be worth tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions, of assets in twenty years.

"Furthermore, I plan to invest in Yantian Port, with an estimated investment of 500 million yuan, to build four 50,000-ton container berths."

Investing in Yantian Port? Mayor Lin was very excited. Another 500 million? Mr. Yang is truly a benefactor of Shenzhen!

This is an investment of 15 billion! Holy crap! Mr. Yang's investment alone is more than all the foreign investment combined!

Currently, Shenzhen is focusing on the construction of Shekou Port, while Yantian Port is still in the stage of raising funds. They were initially at a loss, unsure of where to raise funds.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Yang generously donated 500 million Hong Kong dollars. When did the Hong Kong dollar become so worthless?

Huo Yingdong and the others gasped in astonishment. Yang Jun was really rich! He could casually pull out billions, more than Old Li had in cash.

Li Jiacheng was also startled. "Why are you all looking at me? I'm not as rich as this kid!"
Yang Jun became the star of the delegation, and was immediately the object of toasts from the officials. Yang Jun quickly said that he could not hold his liquor and fled back to the luxury suite of the Nanhai Hotel.

"These mainland comrades are too enthusiastic, I'm outta here!"

Yang Jun had a decent alcohol tolerance, but he couldn't withstand the onslaught from Director Bai and the others, so he returned to the hotel early.

Seeing that it was too early, Ahua winked at Yang Jun and smiled:

"Boss, I've heard the nightlife in Shenzhen is pretty good. Want to go out and have some fun?"

Yang Jun rolled his eyes and laughed as he scolded Ahua:

"The mainland is not like Hong Kong; you might get shot!"

Ahua was startled by what he heard, and said with a bright smile:
"Boss, I was just saying, I would never go to a prostitute!"

Yang Jun nodded, intending to go to sleep immediately, since he would be taking a flight to other places for inspections the next day, and Shenzhen was just the first stop for the Hong Kong business delegation.

When Yang Jun was half asleep, he suddenly discovered that a woman had crawled into his bed.

"Damn! What's going on?" Yang Jun was terrified, his forehead covered in cold sweat. Sleeping with women indiscriminately in mainland China could get him killed.

Yang Jun quickly turned on the light and saw a very beautiful woman holding a quilt, looking at him curiously!

"who are you?"

The woman's name was Yang Xue, and she was only in her early twenties. When she saw that Yang Jun was handsome, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"I, I, my name is Yang Xue, and I am a student at Pengcheng University!"

Yang Jun was certain that Yang Xue hadn't gone to the wrong room; she must have been sent by some leader from Pengcheng.

Holy crap! Using this to test cadres?

Yang Jun thought to himself, "Privileges are everywhere!"

"go out!"

Yang Jun snorted coldly. He always kept his distance from women of unknown origin.
