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

Chapter 144, page 143: Without comparison, there is no harm!
That afternoon, Yang Jun arranged to meet Li Junxia on a yacht. The yacht was anchored in the middle of the sea, surrounded by the vast ocean. Yang Jun, wearing sunglasses, enjoyed the sea breeze with Li Junxia.

"Commander Li, this is your earnings from the Giant Fund last month, a total of 30."

Yang Jun took out a check for 30 yuan from his collar and handed it to Li Junxia, ​​who accepted it without hesitation.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang!"

Yang Jun opened an account for Li Junxia in the Giant Fund and gives Li Junxia a sum of money every month for his activities.

To become the first Chinese department head, one needs not only background and ability, but also substantial funds to cultivate a network of connections.

“I know what you’re going to ask. The plane was yours. I’ve already inquired. It was Ma Jun who captured the plane.”

“Ma Jun is stubborn and inflexible. He even accidentally killed a suspect before.”

Li Junxia, ​​dressed in a suit and wearing sunglasses to completely conceal himself, looked out at the azure sky and the endless sea, and spoke eloquently.

"It's impossible to get Ma Jun to release the person. The whereabouts of the tainted witnesses are the responsibility of the Witness Protection Unit (WPU), which is under the management of Assistant Commissioner of Police Joseph."

"I really don't know where Joseph hid them!"

"Don't know?" Yang Jun chuckled and smiled at Li Junxia, ​​saying:

"Are you unsure or simply unwilling to put in the effort? You're an Assistant Commissioner of Police; you can't possibly be completely clueless, can you?"

Yang Jun's meaning was simple: if you're going to take money, you have to put in the effort. You can't expect to get something for nothing and just want to watch the show. There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Li Junxia's lips twitched, knowing that his sugar daddy was not satisfied with him, so he smiled brightly:

"Mr. Yang, I'll try my best to find out the location of the safe house!"

Police safe houses are subject to financial audits, which inevitably leaves some clues in the financial records.

Although Li Junxia does not directly manage the finance department, he and the finance director Zhu Dandan were classmates at the police academy, and Zhu Dandan had a crush on him.

In order to do Yang Jun's favor, Li Junxia had no choice but to swallow his pride and invite his old classmate out for dinner.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news!"

Yang Jun then smiled and had the yacht dock. He got off first, got into the Rolls-Royce, and drove away.

As for Li Junxia, ​​he didn't get off the yacht until half an hour later, and left in the opposite direction, not towards the police station.

Two days later, Ah-hua received a list of safe houses, which was a list of all the safe houses the police had in Hong Kong. There were more than 30 safe houses in total, spread across the 18 districts of Hong Kong, some hidden in the city center and others in villas in the suburbs.

These safe houses are rented by the police from the market. Renting houses definitely requires funding, and it all needs the signature of the financial director.

Yang Jun, with a cigar in his mouth, teased Ahua:
"This is a list that the future number one got by sacrificing his virtue, so you'd better cherish it!"

"We will search all these safe houses within a day to determine the most likely hiding places!"

Most of these safe houses are vacant and can only be occupied by tainted witnesses whose personal safety is in danger. As for the location of the safe houses, only the witness protection team that is carrying out the mission knows.

The members of the Witness Protection Team were all foreigners, and they were all living in safe houses. Their electronic devices were confiscated, so there was no way to take action against them!

In short, only by checking each safe house can we find out where the tainted witness James is hiding.
"By the way, where is that old man John Bitden? Find him!"

Yang Jun's gaze turned cold. This old man, Biden, was a great threat. Since he had encouraged James to become a witness for the prosecution, he had to be eliminated!
Otherwise, if this drags on any longer, who knows what they might do? Although John holds a high position in Hong Kong, getting rid of him would be very troublesome!

Choose the lesser of two evils.
Ahua frowned and said to Yang Jun:
"John went into hiding too. He flew back to London yesterday. I guess the old man is scared too!"

Back in London? Did you think you were safe in Europe?

"Send men to London, and find him no matter where he is!"

"Yes, boss~"

You think running to London will make everything alright? You're so naive, buddy!
Yang Jun had just finished his work when his cell phone rang. Da Dong handed the phone to Yang Jun.

"Hey Jun, are you free today? I'd like to invite you to a movie!"

The voice on the phone was a pleasant young girl's voice, which sounded like He Xinqiong's, but Yang Jun wasn't sure. What if he called the wrong person? That would be embarrassing!
"Okay, which theater?"

The movie "God of Gamblers," filmed in the Giants movie, has been released. Yang Jun hasn't had time to see it yet, so he plans to go to the set to watch it.

Causeway Bay Grand Theatre~

"Okay, wait for me there~"

The Causeway Bay Grand Theatre is located in the heart of Causeway Bay, Wan Chai. It is one of the largest cinemas in the Yang's Cinema Circuit. When Yang Jun arrived at the cinema, He Xinqiong was playfully holding up two movie tickets and waving at him!
"Here! Jun-ge~"

Outside the movie theater, most of the people were couples. For most couples, watching movies is a romantic and inexpensive way to pass the time.

"God of Gamblers? What's so interesting about that? You might as well watch the new Legend of Zu, a big-budget production by Golden Harvest. I heard it cost 3000 million to make and has a Hollywood special effects team. It's sure to be cool!"

"Is this 'God of Gamblers' a gambling movie? The director is a newcomer, and only Chow Shui-fat is a familiar face. The rest are all newcomers. It must be terrible!"

A conversation between a couple caught Yang Jun's attention, so he stopped in his tracks.

My boyfriend thought "God of Gamblers" was worthless and wanted to take me to see Golden Harvest's new film "The New Legend of Shushan".

"But I want to see Chow Yun-fat! He's so handsome as Mark Gor!"

"The new Legend of Shushan Swordsman also has Adam Cheng, don't you like Adam Cheng?"

"Alright, let's go to the Golden Harvest across the street to watch the new Legend of Shushan Swordsman, instead of God of Gamblers."

The couple walked towards the Golden Harvest Cinema across the street. There weren't many audience members at the Causeway Bay Grand Theatre; only a few people were sitting in two or three seats, which filled about two-thirds of the seats!
Most moviegoers come because of Chow Sau-fat and the Giants brand. After all, Giants movies have been well-received in the past two years and have never been bad!
"Brother Jun, things are in trouble! It seems our God of Gamblers can't beat the new Shushan Swordsman!"

He Xinqiong was fuming and really wanted to drag these couples to the Causeway Bay Grand Theatre. After all, she played the second female lead in "God of Gamblers," which was her screen debut. There was no reason for it to lose to a Golden Harvest film.

Yang Jun shrugged and said casually:

"It's alright, good wine needs no bush, and a good movie will always find an audience!"

"Our 'God of Gamblers' movie might not necessarily lose. Come on, let's see how good your acting is!"

The New Legend of Shushan? This movie was famous in the 80s, and famously flopped!

He Xinqiong was skeptical, but she went into the movie theater and sat in a middle seat.

"Why wasn't it at the very back? What a pity!"

Yang Jun glanced at the dimly lit corner of the movie theater. Who the hell comes to the movie theater to watch a movie?
He Xinqiong was too honest and didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter. She took two tickets and sat in the middle of the movie theater, saying it was the best viewing spot.

The movie "God of Gamblers" uses a bottoming-out narrative mode, where the God of Gamblers loses his memory and becomes a fool, and is taken out by Chen Xiaodao to show off and slap his face, which triggers a series of comedic effects!
Wang Jin's comedic talent was unearthed, blending gambling skills, gunfights, action, brotherhood, and comedy together in a very successful fusion film, eliciting frequent bursts of laughter from the audience. "It's so good! The plot is so exciting! The moment the God of Gamblers, Ko Chun, stepped out of his luxury car, I got goosebumps all over!"

"And then there's the final all-in! The God of Gamblers is so awesome! I'm going to Macau for a few rounds!"

"I haven't had enough yet. I'm bringing my friend to watch it again tomorrow. I have to relive it!"

As Yang Jun walked out of the movie theater, all he could hear were praises for the film "God of Gamblers" and excited discussions about the plot. He was very interested in the movie!

On the other hand, at the Golden Harvest Cinema across the street, moviegoers came out looking completely bewildered, wondering what the plot was all about.
I watched for an hour and a half. It felt like I saw everything, but also like I saw nothing at all!

The whole thing was just a chaotic mess of fighting, the plot was very messy, and many viewers fell asleep in the theater, wasting their money. Many people left the theater with a sigh of relief, thinking, "Finally, it's over!"

"What a load of rubbish! Apart from Adam Cheng being a bit handsome, he's utterly useless. What a waste of my money!"

"Exactly, it's better to watch 'God of Gamblers.' My classmate said 'God of Gamblers' is much better, it blows 'The New Legend of Zu' out of the water."

The polarized reviews mean that movies from the same period are always compared; without comparison, there's no harm done!
As word-of-mouth fluctuated, more and more viewers chose to watch the "God of Gamblers" movie, and the box office climbed again!
Yang Jun smiled knowingly upon seeing this. Golden Harvest had suffered a huge loss this time, investing 3000 million yuan and hiring a Hollywood special effects team, only to find that the film was not a box office success.

"Now you can rest assured, right? The movie is sure to be a huge hit!"

"Thank you, boss, for giving me this opportunity to show my skills!"

"Then how are you going to repay me?"

Yang Jun teased with a smile, implying a hint of ambiguity between the two!
"I'll treat you to dinner~ You're not thinking about anything embarrassing, are you?"

Listening to the violin performance in the Western restaurant, Yang Jun took out an exquisite gift box from his collar and smiled as he pushed the gift to He Xinqiong.

"This is a gift for you. Shall I open it and take a look?"

He Xinqiong curiously opened the gift box, inside was a precious diamond necklace, with a flawless 300-carat pink diamond that sparkled and shone so brightly that it was hard to open one's eyes!

Wow! So beautiful~ This is so expensive!

He Xinqiong's eyes lit up. She was a connoisseur and knew that such a large pink diamond was priceless. This necklace was worth at least tens of millions!

Women are powerless against sparkly things, even heiresses are no exception. He Xinqiong was captivated by this necklace; she had never seen such a beautiful necklace before.

"Like it?"

"like!"

He Xinqiong was already in a good mood today, and with the addition of a precious diamond necklace, she excitedly kissed Yang Jun.

There's hope! Yang Jun plans to strike while the iron is hot and win over He Xinqiong today.

"Do you treat a lot of girls like this? Humph!"

"Of course not, I only treat you like this!"

Yang Jun was telling the truth. Other women don't go through all this trouble. They all chase after him, so why does it have to be so complicated for him to give them gifts?
After spending some time together, Yang Jun took He Xinqiong to a hotel room.

"It's settled then, you can only sleep on the sofa, we'll chat~"

He Xinqiong looked at Yang Jun with suspicion, and said with some unease.

Yang Jun said righteously:
"Don't worry, I'll sleep on the sofa, you sleep in the bed, we'll just chat~"

An hour later, Yang Jun complained of being cold on the sofa, and He Xinqiong couldn't sleep in bed either, so she said something that sounded like inviting a wolf into the house.

"Why don't you come to bed with me? But you can't touch me!"

"what!!!"

As soon as He Xinqiong finished speaking, she realized she had been tricked and screamed:
Why aren't you wearing clothes?

Why do we need to wear clothes to sleep?

"."

The next day, Yang Jun held He Xinqiong as she slowly woke up. He Xinqiong's eyes were red; she had been crying the night before.

"Hmph, you scoundrel, you're lying!"

He Xinqiong said angrily that she had been deceived by Yang Jun, who had promised not to lay a hand on her!

Yang Jun felt quite embarrassed and could only respond in silence.

"Don't be angry. How about I go shopping with you today, or go hiking?"

He Xinqiong glared at Yang Jun, annoyed, and said irritably:

"Do you think I can go shopping or hiking today? It's all your fault, you jerk!"

"My bad, how about I stay home with you today?"

Seeing Yang Jun's helpless expression, He Xinqiong's anger subsided a little, and she said to Yang Jun:
"Huh, that's pretty much it!"

At Golden Harvest Cinema, Raymond Chow looked at the box office figures handed to him by his assistant, Raymond Ho, and could hardly believe his eyes.

"The new Legend of Shushan Swordsman only grossed 15 yuan today? Is this a statistical calculation? It's only been a few days since it was released, and the box office has already dropped this much?"

"The New Legend of Shushan Swordsman" started off with great momentum, earning 150 million at the box office on its first day. Raymond Chow had high hopes for it and planned to use "The New Legend of Shushan Swordsman" to challenge for the box office champion in 1984.

As a result, the film's box office revenue was halved in just 5 days, a dramatic drop from a high start to a low finish, plummeting to 15.

"Boss, the statistics are correct. The main problem is the poor reputation. Audiences don't understand Hollywood's special effects!"

Raymond Ho could only blame the Hollywood special effects, but in reality, the movie's plot was terrible and the script was awful, without mentioning a word of it!
Raymond Chow's heart is bleeding. Golden Harvest invested 30 million yuan, hoping to turn the company around, but now they can't even recoup their costs. It's a huge loss!
"By the way, how's the box office for 'God of Gamblers'?"

Raymond Chow casually asked if this was a film produced this year by their competitor, Giant Films. He inquired and found out that it was only filmed in 15 days and had an investment of around 500 million.

He Guanchang stammered and hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter a number.

"300 million!"

What? Raymond Chow was furious. A low-cost investment, only 15 days of short filming, and the box office was 300 million a day, which was 20 times more than his.
Raymond Chow felt like he was being taken advantage of; why did he even ask?

There's no harm in comparison! I'm so angry I could vomit blood.

"Waste, you are all waste!"
