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

Chapter 147, Section 146: A Marriage Between Powerful Families Leads to the Rise of a Business Empire!
John nodded, quite satisfied with the mercenaries' appearance, but unsure if they were all bark and no bite. He then spoke to Adam opposite him:
"Adam, how about you have your men spar with my bodyguard?"

"Sure! You can choose either one~"

Adam knew his employer was a little uneasy, so he shrugged and told John to choose whatever he wanted.

John pointed to the smallest of the mercenaries and then sent out his best bodyguard to fight.

John's bodyguard went up and threw a punch, simple and brutal, but the mercenary on the other side dodged and threw an even faster punch, hitting John's bodyguard in the neck.

With a thud, John's bodyguard was punched to the ground and knocked unconscious!

"Very good, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

John was not angry but delighted when he saw his bodyguard being knocked down by the other party. He stood up and excitedly shook hands with Adam.

The stronger the mercenaries, the safer John would be. After agreeing on a price of $10,000 per person per day, both sides were happy.

This means John would have to pay five people a total of $50,000 every day, which would amount to $1.5 million every month.

Although the price is high, it's nothing compared to my life!
John had an idea in mind; he wanted to use mercenaries to kill Yang Jun, so he asked Adam:

"I have a nemesis in Hong Kong. He's a mafia boss who always goes out with bodyguards. Can you take him out for me? Price is not an option!"

Adam's eyes lit up. Another business opportunity?

"Of course! It's just a mafia boss. We'd take the job even if it involved assassinating the president!"

These mercenaries have no convictions; they'll do anything for money!
They kill anyone, whether it's a mafia boss, a warlord, a general, or a leader of a small country.
Adam was very excited. This John was obviously a big spender. His estate was so luxurious, and he wouldn't even blink an eye at the $150 million protection fee he was offered every month.

Taking on this assassination job will probably make him a fortune!
“500 million US dollars. You know, Hong Kong is one of the safest cities in the world, and their gun control is extremely strict!”

"If we encounter the Hong Kong police during this mission, it will be very difficult for us to escape!"

Adam made an outrageous demand, but assassinating a mafia boss was very easy for him; normally, $100 million was already considered expensive.

However, John didn't haggle; he simply laughed and said:

"I'll pay you $100 million upfront, and the remaining $400 million after you successfully complete the mission."

So agreeable? Adam was both surprised and delighted. He should have asked for more; he never expected this employer to be so rich!

Adam immediately agreed, and the two reached an agreement. Adam took the fastest flight back to Colombia's headquarters.

In the jungles of Colombia, a military camp stands amidst the dense forest. As the eleventh-ranked mercenary group in the world, the Polar Bear Mercenary Group was founded by a few Russians, but its headquarters are not in Asia, but in the Amazon rainforest.

This place is sparsely populated and belongs to a no-man's-land. Deep in the jungle, the Colombian government does not dare to enter this jungle to enforce the law.

"Guys, there's a guy living in Hong Kong who's going to take on a mafia boss. Who wants to go?"

As soon as an off-road vehicle stopped, Adam excitedly spoke to the mercenaries training in the camp.

"Go to Hong Kong? That's a great place, I'm going!"

"Count me in! I'm signing up too!"

In less than a minute, almost all the mercenaries had arrived. They had all heard about the prosperity of Hong Kong and were tired of staying in the jungle. Who wouldn't want to go to the big city for a vacation?

That's right, they treated this mission like a vacation. He was just a mafia boss, someone they could easily take down. Nobody took the mission seriously.

"I only need twelve people. Lucas, your team is in charge of going to Hong Kong!"

Lucas, a blond white man, laughed and said:
"Thank you, Boss Adam! We'll definitely complete the mission as soon as possible!"

Lucas's team was extremely excited. Their trip to Hong Kong would not only bring them a large bonus, but they might also make some extra money!
The other team members looked at Lucas with envy. Carrying out a mission in Hong Kong was much better than in places like Africa or the Middle East.

Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong.

This hotel is one of Hong Kong's oldest five-star hotels. In the 80s, it was considered one of the most upscale hotels, alongside the Peninsula Hotel. Many celebrities and dignitaries chose to stay at this famous hotel when visiting Hong Kong.

In the new century, a Hong Kong superstar also fell here, but that's another story!
Yang Jun and He Xinqiong walked out of the hotel hand in hand, only to be blocked at the hotel entrance by He Xin and his men.

"Yang Jun, what are you doing bringing my daughter to the hotel?"

He Xin stood in the hall, angrily accusing Yang Jun.

Yang Jun shrugged and said apologetically:

"Uncle, what else would we do at a hotel? Get a room!"

Yang Jun was speechless. He had booked a hotel room with someone's daughter, and the daughter's father caught him red-handed. It was a bit embarrassing!

"Daddy, stop talking! There are too many people here, it's not a good look!"

He Xinqiong looked around and, finding no reporters present, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly tried to pull her father, He Xin, away.

He Xin was speechless. "You know it's not a good look? You're not even engaged, and you're checking into a hotel? What kind of behavior is this!"

If it were an ordinary family, He Xin would definitely not have reacted so strongly, but the He family is a prestigious family in Hong Kong and Macau. Don't they care about their reputation?
"You guys, come with me to the coffee shop."

He Xinqiong then took Yang Jun's hand and said to him:

"Jun, please don't be angry with my dad, try to coax him!"

"I'll try my best, for your sake!"

The two started cuddling together again in the back, and when He Xin turned around, his face darkened even more!
He Xin and Yang Jun sat facing each other, with He Xinqiong sitting next to Yang Jun. All three of them ordered a cup of coffee, but no one started drinking it.

"Tell me, when did you two start?"

Yang Jun was incredibly embarrassed. He had been caught by the other party's father while they were in a hotel room. He had actually run into this kind of embarrassing situation.

"It's been more than two weeks!"

Good heavens! He Xin's lips twitched. It's been so long, his grandson is probably almost here by now.

Do you use contraception?

When this question was raised, He Xinqiong's face turned red to her neck, and she lowered her head, not daring to look her father in the eye.

Yes, I sometimes bring two with me.

Without hesitation, Yang Jun blurted out that he always took this matter very seriously. He was still young and didn't want to be a father for the time being.

"Two aren't enough, we need at least three!"

"Damn it!" Yang Jun looked at He Xin, whose face was red and neck was thick, and who looked like he had suffered a huge loss. He was laughing like crazy inside!

This father-in-law is indeed experienced in life; the rumors about him being a playboy are truly well-deserved! "Dad, what are you saying?"

He Xinqiong couldn't stand it anymore. What kind of father would discuss such a thing with his son-in-law!
He Xin then became serious and said in a solemn tone:

"Ah Jun, things have come to this, so we can be considered to have met by chance!"

"You can marry my daughter, but you must cut off all ties with other women and make the wedding a grand affair!"

Yang Jun frowned. How could he possibly cut off his relationship with other women?

So Yang Jun sent He Xinqiong away first, so he could have a good chat with his new father-in-law.

"Uncle, we young people can handle our own affairs."

"Besides, you've married several concubines, men should understand each other."

Yang Jun wasn't going to put up with this cheap father-in-law. When he was in a good mood, he'd call him Uncle; when he was in a bad mood, he'd call him Old Bi Deng.
He Xin almost vomited the coffee he had just drunk. What the hell is this about men understanding each other? He Xin was speechless.

After a long while, He Xin said to Yang Jun:

"Ahem~ Here's what we'll do: I don't care how many women you have outside, but you can only have Xinqiong as your legal wife."

"How could this be?" Yang Jun immediately objected. "Isn't this unfair to my other women?"

"No, I can only guarantee that He Xinqiong is the older one, I can't guarantee anything else!"

"You, you're going too far!"

He Xin sighed, and finally gave in, saying to Yang Jun:

"Okay, but let's set a wedding date as soon as possible and get the wedding going!"

He Xin's idea was that since his daughter was so devoted to Yang Jun, he should maximize the benefits and facilitate a marriage alliance between the He family and the Yang family as soon as possible!

The He family is the number one wealthy family in Macau. Although the Yang family currently only has Yang Jun, it is also a top wealthy family in Hong Kong. With their combined strength, they are the biggest local tycoons and emperors in Hong Kong and Macau!
Forced into marriage? Yang Jun felt annoyed; he hadn't had enough fun yet!
Besides, what about the other women if I get married? Women like Ruan Mei and JOJO are not easy to appease!

"Uncle, don't worry! I still have enemies outside, and I'm afraid they'll cause trouble!"

"How about this, let's get engaged at the end of the year, and then get married on a good day next year."

Yang Jun's reasons were valid, and He Xin had no reason to refuse, since there was only a little over a month left until the end of the year.

"Alright, my dear nephew, it's settled then."

He Xin was also very happy. After the deal was settled, He Xin found Yang Jun very pleasing to the eye and addressed him as "nephew" repeatedly!
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I plan to build a new hotel in Macau called New Macau Gold. It will be a super-luxury five-star flagship hotel with a 44-story lotus-shaped building, which will become a new landmark in Macau!"

"A total investment of 40 billion Austrian dollars will be made in three phases, and the project is expected to be completed in October next year!"

He Xin told Yang Jun his idea. It was a huge project, and He Xin's financial resources were not enough. However, if the two of them built it together, the construction time of the hotel would be greatly shortened. They could finish it in October!
“Ah Jun, what do you think? According to the shareholding ratio, each of us shareholders will contribute our own funds, and you will have to contribute 14 billion Austrian dollars.”

Good heavens! Has the new Portuguese gold been born ahead of schedule? Yang Jun was secretly delighted.

14 billion Australian dollars is roughly equivalent to 14.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not a large sum of money for Yang Jun, so of course he has to keep going!

"No problem, I can take out this money anytime!"

Yang Jun readily agreed, much to He Xin's delight. His plan could finally proceed ahead of schedule, and with the financial support of both parties, the Grand Lisboa Hotel could be established in Macau ahead of time!
The gaming license of the company will remain valid for more than a decade, and the competition for the license will resume after the turn of the century.

During this period, Aoyu Company held a monopoly in the gambling industry. Even if they opened another hotel, the business would still be booming and they would make a fortune!

After He Xin left, He Xinqiong appeared furtively and said to Yang Jun;
What did my father tell you?

"He sold you out so that you would obey me from now on, follow my lead after marriage, and live a life of obedience and virtue!"

"Pshaw! I don't believe you!"

Giant Group

Huo Baoning was reporting to Yang Jun, proposing the idea of ​​reorganizing the group, and said to Yang Jun:

"Boss, since we acquired Swire Group, the company has expanded rapidly. The number of employees has exceeded 100,000 (excluding workers in mainland factories), and the number of subsidiaries has reached more than 100, with more than ten listed subsidiaries."

"Due to the company's rapid expansion, management could not keep up, resulting in severe financial chaos and inefficient management!"

"My idea is that the company must be completely restructured so that the subsidiaries can support each other and build a true business empire!"

Yang Jun nodded repeatedly, recognizing Huo Baoning's skill in managing the company, and then smiled and said:

"While everyone is here, please share your thoughts!"

Jimmy, Liang Yongqi, Shi Nansheng, Huo Baoning and other company executives were all present. Yang Jun planned to hear Huo Baoning's opinion!

Encouraged by his boss, Huo Baoning began to speak fluently and confidently.

"I suggest that the group be divided into four major subsidiaries: Giant Group, Feida Group, Hong Kong Electric Group, and Swire Group."

"Giant Group was our original business, and its subsidiaries include Giant Real Estate, Giant Entertainment (nightclubs, bathhouses, etc.), Giant Media Group, Giant Fund, as well as Macau gambling, offshore gambling ships, etc."

Giant Group has the most diverse business operations, which is also the industry where Yang Jun started his business. It mainly covers real estate, finance, entertainment media, and gaming.

"Feida Group mainly manufactures VCD players, televisions, pagers, and other products, including factories in mainland China and 500 Feida flagship stores. All of its manufacturing businesses have been integrated into Feida Group, which is its second largest subsidiary."

"Swire Group consists of subsidiaries such as Swire Properties, Swire Dockyards, Swire Beverages, and Cathay Pacific. It has dozens of subsidiaries covering more than a dozen industries including real estate, shipping, beverages, aviation, construction, and finance. It is the third largest subsidiary."

"Hong Kong Electric's business includes not only electricity, but also real estate, infrastructure projects, etc. Of course, the most profitable business is the electricity business, with an annual net profit of more than one billion."

Yang Jun was also shocked when he heard this. Unbeknownst to him, his company had grown to such a large size, with so many subsidiaries and 10 employees excluding workers. It had the largest market value and the most employees among all the companies in Hong Kong!
“Good! What President Huo said makes a lot of sense. After the reorganization of the four groups, Huo Baoning will be the president of Giant Group, and Shi Nansheng will be the vice president.”

Shi Nansheng's eyes lit up. Had she been promoted? She was previously only in charge of Giant Media Group, but now she had been promoted to vice president of a second-tier group, which was quite a promotion.

"Jimmy is the president of Feida Group, Ms. Leung Wing-ki is the president of Swire Group, and Zhao Gang is the president of HK Electric Group."

Yang Jun appointed presidents of the four major secondary groups in one go, which made everyone happy, especially Zhao Gang, who was previously a Chinese manager at Hong Kong Electric and was promoted multiple times in one year.

"Thank you for the promotion, boss!"

Because Liang Yongqi was closest to Yang Jun, he asked a question.

"Boss, since Giant Group is a second-tier group, what is the name of the head office?"

Yes, the second-tier group is called Giant Group, but the head office can't have the same name, it wouldn't be convenient to use!
Yang Jun considered for a minute, then swallowed his words and said:

"How about we call it the Giant Empire Group? You're all giants in the company."

Giant Empire Group, what an imposing name! And the meaning is also wonderful: a place where giants gather, where they perform groundbreaking deeds!
A vast Eastern business empire is slowly rising; the Giant Empire Group is officially established!
