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

Chapter 133, Section 132: The Value of Hong Kong's Richest Man - A School Speech!
Yang Xue was startled. She hadn't expected that even after going all out, this leader still wouldn't approve of her.
"Boss, am I not beautiful?"

Yang Jun waved his hand and said to Yang Xue:
"Get out of here! I don't like this method!"

Although Yang Jun is not exactly a gentleman, he has his bottom line when it comes to this kind of thing. He has no shortage of women, so why would he take this risk?

Yang Jun saw Yang Xue on the bed about to cry, and said:

"If you don't leave, then I should leave?"

Yang Jun decisively left the room, made Ahua book another room, and scolded him:
"Ahua, don't let women into my room so easily in the future. What if they're assassins?"

Ah! Ahua felt wronged; he had thought Yang Jun would like him.

After all, this mainland girl has a top-notch figure and looks. The boss's only flaw is that he's a womanizer. How could he not like her?
Yang Jun didn't explain, but instead booked another room and told Ahua to keep an eye on the door so he wouldn't make a mistake!
The next day, Yang Jun had just gotten up when he heard a commotion downstairs, so he went down to investigate.

"Mr. Yang, do you live here? I came all the way from Guangzhou."

"Prefect Zhao, what's so special about you coming all the way from Guangzhou? I came all the way from Sichuan!"

"Governor Liu, you've come too? You're all the way from the Northeast!" (To avoid trouble, all titles have been changed to ancient official titles. You should all be able to understand what kind of official they are, right?)
"Mr. Yang has arrived!"

"Mr. Yang, I am Prefect Wang from Sichuan. I would like to invite you to visit Sichuan; there are many beautiful women there!"

A short, stout middle-aged man squeezed forward first, handed Yang Jun a business card, and smiled obsequiously at him.

Yang Jun's lips twitched. What did he mean by the last sentence, "many beautiful women"? Did everyone know that he was a womanizer?
“Prefect Wang, you people from Sichuan don’t need to get involved. Mr. Yang is from Guangdong Province, so please go to Guangzhou first.”

Prefect Zhao of Guangzhou played the family card, quickly saying to Yang Jun:

"Mr. Yang, Guangzhou has beautiful mountains and rivers, and you are welcome to come and explore investment opportunities!"

Before Yang Jun could speak, a prefect named Sun from the Chaoshan region objected and pulled Mr. Yang aside to speak in his hometown dialect.

"Mr. Yang, we are true fellow villagers. You must go back to your hometown for a visit!"

Yang Jun gave a wry smile. These high-ranking officials were fighting over this for their own benefit, disregarding their image.

Governor Liu of the Northeast, relying on his high rank, said to the other prefects:

"Mr. Yang is going to our Northeast, so you shouldn't really argue about it."

"Pshaw! The Northeast is too far, it's better to go to Sichuan!"

"No way! Of course we'll go to Chaoshan, Mr. Yang is from Chaoshan!"

Yang Jun was speechless. He should have kept a low profile. He was too young!
Seeing this, Director Bai smiled and said:

"Please don't crowd around here, you're scaring our distinguished guests. How about this, I'll treat you all to dinner so you can all get to know each other first!"

Yang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and then they went to the Nanhai Hotel together, where he met many officials from the mainland and expanded his network of contacts!

Li Jiacheng looked enviously at Yang Jun, who was surrounded by the crowd. You should know that Yang Jun is very famous in mainland China now and is a recognized god of wealth!

Major cities have extended olive branches, offering the most favorable conditions for attracting investment!

"I will have the group's vice president, Jimmy, go to your city to investigate. If it is indeed suitable, we will invest in building a factory there. Go back and wait for news."

Yang Jun addressed all the officials, giving them a sense of reassurance!

In the afternoon, the regional officials who had received Yang Jun's promises reluctantly left, exchanging phone numbers with Yang Jun.

"Ah Jun, your influence is enormous! You're a celebrity in mainland China, a legendary patriotic businessman!"

Director Bai produced a Xinhua News Agency report that highlighted Yang Jun's investments in Shenzhen, praising him as a shining example of Chinese people and a patriotic businessman!

When Yang Jun took it, he saw that the front page headline did indeed feature him, and the title was quite eye-catching.

Patriotic businessman Mr. Yang Jun's cumulative investment of over 2 billion Hong Kong dollars has shocked the nation!

Yang Jun laughed, still using sensationalist headlines. He hadn't expected sensationalist headlines to exist in the 1980s. He said to Director Bai:

"This is too high-profile; it will get me a lot of trouble!"

Today's officials all come because of his reputation; while great fame brings benefits, it also brings trouble.

Director Bai smiled:

"This is an honorable thing, it should be publicized more! It can inspire other Hong Kong businessmen!"

Good heavens, he's been made an example of. Yang Jun smiled wryly, not knowing whether this was a blessing or a curse.

Director Bai said mysteriously:

"Your boss wants to see you, but do you have time?"

"Ah!" Yang Jun exclaimed in astonishment.
"The boss knows me too? He's incredibly busy!"

"Of course, the leader not only knows you, but also praised you in public."

Yang Jun was flattered and calmed his excited emotions.

"Director Bai, I plan to go back to my hometown of Chengdu to pay respects to my ancestors."

"Try to keep a low profile and not let too many people know!"

"Wealth and honor without returning home is like wearing fine clothes at night!" Yang Jun also wanted to go back to his hometown to see the mountains and rivers and experience the local customs and culture.

"I understand, I'll let them know."

"By the way, Ah Jun, Pengcheng University has called me several times, insisting that I invite you to attend Pengcheng University's first anniversary celebration."

The first anniversary celebration? Yang Jun's lips twitched, and he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I'm not a member of the school, why would I participate?"

Director Bai looked surprised and said to Yang Jun:
"Don't you know? You have always been the honorary president of Pengcheng University. You are a great contributor who funded the establishment of the university!"

What? I'm the principal?

Yang Jun looked bewildered. "I'm just a short, insignificant guy who only graduated from junior high school, and now I'm the honorary president of Pengcheng University?"

"Director Bai, isn't this a bit too hasty?"

"Not at all hasty! You are the richest man in Hong Kong, the chairman of the Giant Group, and the school was established thanks to your donation!"

"Tomorrow is the school's first anniversary celebration and opening ceremony. You absolutely have to attend. We'll even have you give a speech on stage!" Give a speech? Yang Jun was dumbfounded. He rarely appeared in public and was rather quiet. What was he supposed to say?
Teaching students how to fight? That's outrageous!

"Director Bai, no, I can't give a speech. What would I talk about?"

Director Bai thought Yang Jun was being modest, so he smiled and said:

"Tell us how you succeeded in starting your business, and share your success experience with the students!"

Yang Jun was stunned. He really couldn't share this successful experience. He couldn't very well say that his first pot of gold was bloody and how he robbed a gold shop, could he?
"Forget it, I'm not good at explaining it. Let's find someone else."

Yang Jun quickly refused, saying, "This is misleading young people! What kind of nonsense is this?"
Director Bai seemed to have anticipated Yang Jun's refusal, so he pulled out a manuscript and said to Yang Jun:
"I've already prepared this. Take a look at the speech my secretary wrote for you!"

Is this really okay? Yang Jun took out his speech, which was a story of a poor boy's struggle, including sleeping on the floor in the early stages of his business!
Okay! Yang Jun himself was moved, but I don't remember ever sleeping on the floor.

The script is all prepared, so just read it, right? Yang Jun is just going up on stage to show his face; it's to give the school face.

The following day, the cultural auditorium of Pengcheng University was packed. Many students had not intended to come, but upon hearing that Yang Jun, Hong Kong's richest man, would be giving a speech, they called their friends and family to attend the celebration.

"Next, we would like to invite Mr. Yang Jun, our school's honorary principal and chairman of the Giant Group, to the stage to give a speech. Please welcome him with applause!"

The students who had been listless immediately started clapping enthusiastically upon hearing this!
Yang Jun was quite embarrassed, so he went on stage and read a passage from his speech, which was met with enthusiastic applause from the students below.

"Finally, I welcome your esteemed graduates to join the Giant Group; the salary and benefits will be excellent!"

"Principal Wan, is it okay if I place an advertisement?"

Yang Jun jokingly posted a job advertisement. After all, in this day and age, being able to get into Pengcheng University is a rare talent pool. Recruiting them into his company would make Giant Group a stable talent pool.

Principal Wan said with a smile from the podium:

"Mr. Yang is so humorous! Of course! If anyone wants to work in Hong Kong in the future, applying to Giant Group is definitely the right choice!"

Just as Yang Jun was about to leave the podium, a female student came up to him with a bouquet of flowers and handed it to him.

"why you?"

Yang Jun recognized her; the girl who delivered the flowers was Yang Xue, the girl he had rejected that day.

When Yang Xue realized she had been recognized, she blushed and ran off the stage.

So she really is a student? Yang Jun shook his head, watching Yang Xue run down and sit down below.

Half an hour later, Yang Jun intercepted Yang Xue and said to her:
"Get in the car, let's talk?"

Yang Jun had already found out that this relative, Yang Xue, was a poor student. Although her tuition was waived at school, she couldn't even afford her living expenses. That day, she was just earning some extra money, and it was her first time committing a crime!
Yang Xue nodded, sat down next to Yang Jun naturally, and said to Yang Jun:

"You gave up voluntarily that day, so I'm not giving you a refund!"

Yang Jun's lips twitched, and he said speechlessly:
"I'm not asking for a refund. Are you that short of money?"

Yang Xue glanced at Yang Jun's Tiger Head Ben and said indifferently:
"Yes, I am very short of money."

Yang Jun shrugged and said to Yang Xue:

"You're a local, right? I need a guide assistant while I'm in mainland China these days. It's 500 a day. What do you want to do?"

Yang Xue's eyes lit up. 500 a day? That's several months' worth of living expenses for her, so she nodded repeatedly!

Since these few days happened to be a holiday, Yang Xue naturally agreed to this good opportunity.

"Okay, I'm willing to do it!"

In the afternoon, Yang Jun set off for Rongcheng, a county town. The roads were still full of potholes, and Yang Jun's buttocks were sore from sitting so long.

Yang Xue, however, was taking a keen look at the outside world. It was the first time she had ever ridden in such a nice car, or more accurately, the first time she had ever been in a car.

As soon as Yang Jun arrived in the county town, police cars stopped their convoy. Yang Jun asked Ahua to go and see what was going on.

"Boss, it's County Chief Guo from Rongcheng who heard you were here and insisted on coming to go to the countryside with you."

Yang Jun frowned. He hadn't notified anyone in advance, but he hadn't expected County Chief Guo to be so well-informed.

"Ahua, how did County Chief Guo find out about us?"

Ahua looked speechless and said to Yang Jun:
"There aren't many cars in this county. Our convoy is all Mercedes-Benz W140. The county head will know you've arrived as soon as he checks, won't he?"

Yang Jun then realized that he would remember this lesson for next time. There aren't many luxury cars in mainland China, so he would keep a low profile this time and use a helicopter instead!

Since County Chief Guo wanted to go along, Yang Jun had no choice but to accept it. It's best to maintain a good relationship with the local official in your hometown!
County Chief Guo also got into Yang Jun's car and greeted Yang Jun:

"Mr. Yang, it's an honor to meet you in person!"

"Welcome back to your hometown to pay respects to your ancestors, Mr. Yang. I know the way to Yangjiaba well; I can be your guide!"

County Chief Guo was very talkative, chatting with Yang Jun about everything under the sun, and there was never a dull moment along the way.

Two police cars led the way, followed by Yang Jun's luxury convoy, all heading towards Yangjiaba Township.

Yang Jun was secretly pleased, thinking that he was finally enjoying the treatment of a leader, with the county head accompanying him and police cars clearing the way!
This is quite low-key. Luckily, other leaders weren't notified, otherwise, if even more people had come, Yang Jun would have been in a real mess!

"Mr. Yang, this car is very rare in China. What's it called?"

Mercedes-Benz cars are rare in China nowadays. Most official vehicles are brands like Xiali and Toyota. County Chief Guo didn't even know this car, but the interior looks more upscale than a Toyota!
"This is called Mercedes-Benz, it's a German brand!"

"Oh, this is called a Mercedes-Benz, a luxury car!"

County Chief Guo suddenly realized that he had heard the name on TV before, as it frequently appeared in Hong Kong dramas, but he had never seen it in real life.

"What a pity! The road is so bad, Mr. Yang is driving such a nice car on this dirt road!"

Yang Jun smiled. He had already figured out what County Chief Guo meant. Was he subtly trying to get him to donate money to repair the road?
However, Yang Jun was not angry. County Chief Guo was doing his job for the people. Everyone should do their duty and govern their own affairs.

"Haha, County Chief Guo, I'm willing to donate five million to build roads in Rongcheng as a gift to my fellow villagers!"

Five million? County Chief Guo was overjoyed; this was a huge sum of money!
There wasn't a single family in the entire Rongcheng County that could afford five million yuan, but Yang Jun unexpectedly donated five million yuan. This is such a generous gift!
"Mr. Yang, thank you so much!"

County Chief Guo was very grateful to Yang Jun. He knew that to get rich, you must first build roads. Once the roads are built, economic development will be much easier. He hadn't had the funds to build the roads before, but now that the funding problem was solved, Yang Jun had been a great help!
Seeing how respectful the county magistrate was to Mr. Yang, Yang Xue felt a deep admiration for Yang Jun. To have reached such a position at such a young age, the title of Hong Kong's richest man was indeed well-deserved!
On the other side, in Yangjiaba Township, hundreds of members of the Yang clan were waiting at the village entrance.

"Seventh Uncle, is Yang Muliang's son from the third branch of the family really the richest man in Hong Kong? Just how much money does he have?"

Seventh Uncle Yang Dexing is over seventy years old and is one of the most senior elders in Yangjiaba. He is also the deputy mayor of Yangjiaba Township. He is highly respected and knowledgeable.
