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

Chapter 166, page 165: An accident at the construction site – an accident or a conspiracy?
Yang Jun returned to Hong Kong on New Year's Eve and went to his villa on Victoria Peak to celebrate the New Year with He Xinqiong, Liang Yongqi, and JOJO. Liang Yongqi, a famous lawyer, even cooked a sumptuous meal herself.

"Why don't you just let the chef do it? You're working too hard."

Yang Jun's villa has a chef in charge of cooking. He is a highly paid chef hired from a Michelin-starred restaurant who is proficient in more than a dozen types of cuisines, including Cantonese, Sichuan, Zhejiang, and Western food. He cooks a variety of dishes for Yang Jun every day.

"It's Chinese New Year today, so I gave him two days off. My cooking is pretty good too, you should try it!"

Liang Yongqi placed a piece of fatty pork in Yang Jun's bowl. Yang Jun tried a bite, found it quite delicious, and said with a smile:
"Not bad! It tastes like home~"

At this point, Yang Jun sighed. Unbeknownst to him, more than two years had passed since he transmigrated here. With the help of the system, he had risen from a lowly gangster to become the richest man in Hong Kong and the head of the most powerful family in Hong Kong.

Not only is he building the next massive business empire, but he also has three close female companions by his side.

"I've lived a worthwhile life," Yang Jun said with a smile, opening a bottle of champagne and pouring it for the three women.

Let's celebrate, Happy New Year!

The four of them raised their glasses together, and this Spring Festival was very lively, filled with laughter and joy!

JOJO suggested setting off fireworks outside, and the other two girls agreed, saying that setting off fireworks during the Lunar New Year would make it feel like the New Year.

Yang Jun had already bought 20 yuan worth of fireworks from the fireworks company and set them off in the villa garden. The sky was filled with colorful fireworks!

"How romantic! The fireworks are so beautiful!"

JOJO leaned against Yang Jun's chest, He Xinqiong held Yang Jun's hand, and Liang Yongqi stood behind them. The four of them looked very harmonious!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Jun took out three exquisite gift boxes and said to the three women:

"These are diamond rings I brought back from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Each diamond is a natural diamond weighing over 20 carats. I'm giving them to you as a gift~"

These diamonds were a gift from Kabila; they are all top-quality, large diamonds that only appear at auctions. They are the size of a fingernail and are sparkling.

Women are powerless against sparkly things, especially natural diamonds, which represent eternal love!
"Wow, it's so beautiful! This is the first time I've ever seen such a big diamond!"

JOJO's eyes widened in disbelief. Even though she was from a wealthy family, it was the first time she had ever seen such a large diamond, and it was dazzling.

He Xinqiong comes from a wealthy family and has a better eye; she immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of these diamonds.

“Natural diamonds weighing over 20 carats can fetch millions of US dollars at auction.”

Millions of US dollars? Wow!
JOJO and Leung Wing-ki looked at each other in disbelief. This gift was truly precious, worth millions of US dollars and tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. That could buy so many houses!

"Thank you, Brother Jun~"

"Brother Jun, I want to repay you!"

The three girls were chattering and clamoring to repay the favor, but Yang Jun simply waved his hand and went to his bedroom to celebrate the New Year!

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Jun took a helicopter to Wong Tai Sin Temple to offer incense, because driving would cause traffic jams and there were too many people coming to Wong Tai Sin Temple to offer incense.

One of the folk customs in Hong Kong is to worship Wong Tai Sin. Yang Jun followed the local custom and arrived at the Wong Tai Sin Temple early in the morning.

Yang Jun did not need to queue. The person in charge of Wong Tai Sin Temple personally came out to greet him and escorted him to the main hall inside. There were only a few people in the hall, all of whom were wealthy and powerful people.

"This is for offerings."

Yang Jun casually took out HK$20, which stunned the person in charge of Wong Tai Sin Temple. This shows the true value of Hong Kong's richest man.

So he very politely handed the three thickest incense sticks to Yang Jun, who then offered them to Huang Daxian.

"Mr. Yang, would you like to request a fortune stick?"

Yang Jun turned his head and smiled, saying:

"No need! Compared to praying to gods and Buddhas, I believe more in human determination to overcome nature!"

Although Yang Jun revered the gods, he would not entrust his fate to so-called deities. Drawing lots? Yang Jun scoffed.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Jun went back to He Xinqiong's parents' home and met a large group of He Xinqiong's brothers and sisters.

"Ah Jun is here, please come in~"

He Xin personally greeted him at the door, showing how much he valued this son-in-law, which made his European second son-in-law very jealous.

He Xin's eldest daughter is divorced, and now only Yang Jun is married to his second son-in-law in Europe. As for his other daughters, none of them are married yet.

"Sister, is this your boyfriend? He's so handsome!"

He Xinfeng is only two years younger than He Xinqiong. They are siblings from the same mother and have the best relationship!
"Not only is he handsome, but he's also the richest man in Hong Kong. You'd better keep your eyes open when you look for a boyfriend in the future, and never choose a poor guy!"

The second concubine spoke up, her words sharp, and she even glanced at her second son-in-law.

However, the second son-in-law was not very fluent in Chinese and did not understand what the second concubine was saying.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. My second sister married well too!"

He Xinqiong couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

The second concubine was He Xinqiong's biological mother, but she had a sharp tongue and snorted coldly.

Then, looking at Yang Jun, her eyes narrowed with a smile, and she said with a beaming smile:
"You're really something, finding such a perfect son-in-law! You've really made me proud!"

"Jun, now that you're here, please don't be shy, make yourself at home!"

When the second concubine saw Yang Jun, it was like a mother-in-law seeing her son-in-law; the more she looked at him, the happier she became.

He Xin invited Yang Jun into the hall, sat him down next to him, and said with a smile:

"Jun, I heard you invested in a gold mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo. You must be able to mine a lot of gold every year, right?"

He Xin's eyes lit up. This was a gold mine! He had never heard of anyone from Hong Kong opening a gold mine in Africa. Yang Jun was the first person to do so.

Yang Jun shrugged and said calmly:
"Not much, only 5.6 tons a year."

He Xin was shocked. Mining 5.6 tons a year was not much. The gold mine alone could generate an annual profit of 8-10 billion Hong Kong dollars for Yang Jun.

Is this how Hong Kong's richest man talks? So Versailles-like!

He Xin's children all looked shocked. Although their He family was wealthy, they could only earn a little over 10 billion yuan a year. This brother-in-law was so rich!
"Hehe, Ah Jun is too modest. Let's eat!"

He Xin was secretly pleased. When he had time, he would definitely ask Yang Jun if there were any investment opportunities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, so he could invest in one or two mines to try his luck.

Next, He Xinqiong's younger sisters bombarded Yang Jun with questions:

"Brother-in-law, how did you win over my sister? What do you like about her?"

"When are you going to have a baby with my sister?"

Several young and beautiful girls chattered and surrounded Yang Jun, leaving him speechless.

It has to be said that He Xin has really good genes; all of his daughters are beautiful and have high looks.

"Alright, stop fooling around. Your daddy needs to talk business with Ah Jun. Please make way for him!"

The second concubine came over and chased the girls away, then led Yang Jun into He Xin's study, where He Xin was already sitting and waiting for Yang Jun.

"Ah Jun, take a look. This is our board's next investment plan."

He Xin produced an investment plan and handed it to the major shareholder, Yang Jun, for review. After all, Yang Jun owned 35% of the shares in Aoyu Company, making him a major shareholder like He Xin, and he received more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in dividends every year. Yang Jun took a look and saw that it was a plan to invest in South Vietnam; He Xin intended to invest in a casino hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, South Vietnam.

"Uncle, are you planning to invest in a casino in South Vietnam?"

He Xin smiled and nodded:
“South Vietnam has also begun economic reforms. I received definite news, so I will open a casino in Ho Chi Minh City.”

Ho Tan has extensive political connections and had long been aware of South Vietnam's economic reforms. He planned to make arrangements in advance, investing in a hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, marking an important step in the globalization of the Aoyu Company!
South Vietnam has started copying China's homework, and economic reforms were to be expected.

"Alright, you invest in South Vietnam, I'll follow suit and support Uncle's decision!"

Yang Jun readily agreed to invest in opening a casino in South Vietnam to wreak havoc on the South Vietnamese devils. Yang Jun felt no psychological pressure at all; it was better than opening a casino.

He Xin was overjoyed. He was already short of funds, the hotel was still under construction and he had not yet recouped his costs. Now he wanted to expand his gambling business, so he had no choice but to ask his future son-in-law for help.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jun agreed to invest without hesitation.

"Thank you!"

He Xin began to feel fortunate that he had agreed to let Yang Jun date He Xinqiong; it was such a wise decision, as he had almost missed out on billions.

Over the next few days, Yang Jun spent time with He Xinqiong, JOJO, and the other two at Victoria Peak. A steady stream of people came to pay their respects for the New Year, including his subordinates from the company, Huo Baoning, Zhan Mi, Shi Nansheng, and others.

The brothers in the gang also visited Yang Jun one by one to wish him a Happy New Year.

Yang Jun had just seen off one group when another arrived, leaving him exhausted. Fortunately, He Xinqiong helped with the reception, displaying the demeanor of a hostess and making everyone feel comfortable and at ease.

"Ah Jun, Happy New Year!"

Yang Jun was surprised when a special guest from the mainland suddenly visited.

"Director Bai, Happy New Year!"

Yang Jun hurriedly welcomed Director Bai from the mainland into the living room; this was a distinguished guest!
"Director Bai, you're a rare guest!"

Director Bai's identity is not simple. He must have come to Hong Kong during the Lunar New Year to make sure he has a good reason for visiting.

"Ah Jun, I heard you've made some waves in the DRC, acquired a huge copper mine?"

Yang Jun then realized that Director Bai was interested in copper mines.

"Director Bai, you've come for the copper mine?"

Director Bai took a sip of tea and said with a smile;
"That's only one reason. As you know, the mainland is currently undertaking massive infrastructure and construction projects, and there's a severe shortage of refined copper. My superiors asked me to inquire whether we could prioritize selling refined copper to our country."

Yang Jun's eyes lit up. He had been worried about the sales of his copper mine, since it was the world's largest and most companies couldn't handle such a large output.

Unexpectedly, a solution came to our aid: Director Bai, representing the mainland, expressed a desire to import large quantities of refined copper.

Yang Jun became interested and asked Director Bai:
How much do you need per year?

Director Bai came with a mission this time. The domestic demand for refined copper is enormous. Upon hearing that Yang Jun had acquired a copper mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo, he immediately sent Director Bai to seek cooperation.

If this matter can be accomplished, Director Bai is very likely to be promoted.

"The more the better. What is your annual production?"

Yang Jun held up two fingers and said to Director Bai:

20 tons!

What? 20 tons? Director Bai gasped in shock.

Good heavens! Yang Jun's annual output is more than all the copper mines in the mainland combined. This is no ordinary copper mine.

"Really? That's great! 20 tons, Ah Jun, you've really helped me a lot!"

Director Bai slapped his thigh, beaming with excitement!

He knew Yang Jun wouldn't lie to him, nor would he have any reason to.

"Of course, I'm Chinese too. Besides, I'm not giving it away for free, I'm going to charge you."

Director Bai calmed down and said with a smile:

"Of course, we will purchase at market prices."

After finalizing the strategic cooperation deal, Director Bai felt much more relaxed and started chatting with Yang Jun.

"Ah Jun, I've heard that you have a mercenary force in Southeast Asia and Africa, and you're also in the arms business?"

Yang Jun was taken aback. The intelligence from the mainland was indeed impressive; they even knew about such confidential matters.

However, Yang Jun did not intend to hide it and directly admitted:

"That's right, I do have a mercenary force under my command, but don't worry, Director Bai, my mercenaries will not set foot on the mainland territory."

Director Bai nodded, and he said with a smile:

"Jun, I didn't expect you to grow so fast in just two years!"

"It's incredible that your military factory can also manufacture armed helicopters."

Director Bai was filled with emotion. He had watched Yang Jun develop step by step, which was nothing short of a miracle.

Yang Jun's current influence is highly valued even by leaders in mainland China, who repeatedly urge them to cultivate a good relationship with him.

"Haha, Director Bai, we'll also need your superiors' support!"

Yang Jun is now branded as a "red businessman," with inseparable ties to the mainland, which will become his biggest backing.

After delivering the document to Director Bai, Yang Jun breathed a sigh of relief. The mainland had not commented on his control of armed forces, indicating that it did not oppose Yang Jun's control of armed forces overseas.

On the ninth day, the subsidiaries of Giant Empire Group began to resume work one after another. Yang Jun also went to the company to give red envelopes to the senior executives. He gave each middle and senior manager a 10,000 yuan start-up red envelope, and the whole group was filled with laughter.

However, after receiving a phone call, Huo Baoning's face darkened, and he went to Yang Jun's side and said:
"Boss, there's been an accident at our construction site! A scaffold collapsed, killing five workers!"

What? Yang Jun frowned, his heart skipped a beat.

"So careless? It's only the New Year, how could something like this happen!"

"What are safety officers doing? I want to go to the site and see for myself."

Yang Jun was very angry. If a safety accident occurred at the construction site, work would likely be suspended, which would cause losses to the project's progress and economic benefits!

Huo Baoning nodded and quickly took Yang Jun to a new construction site in the North District of the New Territories, a real estate project developed by the Giant Empire Group.

Halfway through the drive, Huo Baoning received a phone call and said to Yang Jun:
"Boss, the Buildings Department just came to the construction site and ordered us to stop work and make rectifications. This is a huge problem!"

"I don't know who called the police, but they brought the accident at the construction site to the TV station, and TVB reported on it."

Just as he finished speaking, Shao Yifu called and said to Yang Jun:
"Mr. Yang, I was not informed of the construction site accident that was just broadcast on TV. I had no idea about it at all."

"It's alright! The public has the right to know."

Yang Jun hung up the phone, but a nameless anger surged in his heart. He felt that this matter was not simple, as if it was aimed at him, rather than an accident!
