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

Chapter 171.170. The true value of being the richest Chinese person!

Tian Gang Da Xiong hid inside the car, refusing to come out no matter what. Once he lost the cover of the armored car, he would be shot dead by the gunmen outside in no time!
"Hiding inside the car is the safest option," he said to his bodyguard while praying his men would arrive quickly.

When will Kimura and the others arrive?

The bodyguard, pale-faced and trembling, said:

"It will take at least ten minutes; they've only just set off."

Bang! Ah-Ji tried to open the car door, but it was locked from the inside and couldn't be opened from the outside.

Ah-Ji fired his submachine gun at a 45-degree angle to avoid the bullets ricocheting back; it would be ridiculous if he were accidentally injured!
Da da da da da da
The submachine gun bullets couldn't penetrate the glass or the car body, and the Tian Gang and his bodyguard inside were completely unharmed!

"Haha! They can't penetrate the bulletproof glass, we're safe!"

Tian Gang was overjoyed. Luckily, he had bought an armored car, which proved to be a lifesaver in a critical moment.

"Just wait for rescue inside the car," Tian Gang Da Xiong said smugly, raising his middle finger from inside the vehicle, displaying an extremely arrogant attitude.

Ah Ji sneered, took out a high-explosive bomb from his bag, and placed it on the windshield of the Mercedes-Benz.

"Old man, if you don't come out, you're going to get blown up!"

A special forces soldier who understood Japanese chuckled and ignited the bomb.

Da Xiong was completely dumbfounded. A bomb? They had a bomb?

Damn it! Tian Gang Da Xiong was no longer as calm as before, and he scrambled out of the car.

With a deafening roar, the armored vehicle was blasted into the air, becoming a fireball, and the shockwave spread in all directions.

The bodyguard was a step too slow to escape and was killed in the explosion.

Tian Gang and Da Xiong were in no better shape; their backs were covered in blood, and they lay on the ground howling in pain.

"Help! Damn it."

Tian Gang looked up and saw Aji staring at him coldly, the muzzle of his gun pointed at him.

"Spare me! Who sent you? How much did they pay you?"

"I'll give you double, no, triple! Don't kill me!"

Da Xiong immediately begged for mercy. He controlled hundreds of millions of dollars in assets of the Yamada Group. If he died like this, wouldn't he be losing everything?

The saddest thing for a person is to die before they've spent all their money.

Aji laughed, shook his head, and said:

"Impossible! Mr. Yang said you must die!"

Aji was worried that Tian Gang and Da Xiong wouldn't understand, so he had a member of the special forces team translate for them, so that Tian Gang and Da Xiong could die knowing why.

What? Mr. Yang from Hong Kong?

Da Xiong Tian looked incredulous. He never expected Mr. Yang to be so ruthless, chasing him all the way to the Yamada Group's stronghold in Kobe.

"How could that be? You're from Hong Kong!"

Bang! Aji shot Tian Gang Da Xiong in the head. The villain died from talking too much. Aji acted decisively and cleanly.

"go!"

Instead of continuing to drive the truck, Ah Ji robbed a private car, kidnapped the driver, and fled the street.

Ur-Ur-Ur, the island nation's police are very efficient. When they arrived at the scene, they saw raging flames and four corpses lying in a pool of blood.

"Sir, it's Tagoro Tadashi of the Yamada Group, he's dead!"

The Japanese police officers' expressions changed drastically. Who didn't know the name of the third head of the Yamada-gumi? Daiki Tagore had just died like that? Died so hastily?
It's over! Kobe is about to descend into chaos!
The Yamada Group is far from harmonious. Several powerful figures are qualified to run for the fourth generation, and they all want to control the Yamada Group's assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Kobe is about to be engulfed in bloodshed.

"Catch the murderer; we can't let him escape."

The island nation's police are furious. The Yamada Group was relatively stable before, but after the third leader was killed, there will definitely be infighting and power struggles within the Yamada Group, which will be a big problem for the island nation's police.

However, Aji and his group had already broken through the police encirclement using the route they had planned. Yang Jun sent someone to meet Aji and his group, and they left Kobe on a smuggling boat.

Ten minutes later, reporters from the island nation swarmed in. They were all excited and their faces turned red when they heard that the leader of the Yamada-gumi, Daiki Tago, had been assassinated. This was big news in the island nation!
The Yamada-gumi is a notorious yakuza group in Japan, ranked number one. The assassination of its leader has piqued the interest of all the reporters.

Various conspiracy theories are rampant, such as internal vendettas or retaliation for offending international criminal groups.

Some people mentioned Hong Kong and Luen Shing, but this speculation was not significant among the many conspiracy theories and did not attract the attention of the police or the public in the island nation.

Kobe, Japan, was thrown into chaos. Many members of the Yamada Group, under the guise of revenge, fought each other for territory, killed each other, and assassinated each other's leaders, leaving the Japanese police in a state of utter chaos.

Because Ajax's actions in Kobe were swift and clean, leaving no clues, he left Kobe by smuggling ship after his retreat.

The police couldn't find any information about Ah Ji and the others, and the victims' complicated identities left them with no way to proceed.

The case remains stalled, and the island nation's police can only hastily close it to deal with the increasingly serious gang conflicts in Kobe.

In the past few days, several shootings have occurred in Kobe, and several leaders of the Yamada-gumi, all of whom were strong contenders for the Yamada-gumi leadership, have been shot.

"Baka! Get me a talk with those Yamada-gumi bastards and make them stop firing, or I'll throw them all in jail."

The police chief of Kobe, an island nation, angrily cursed and kicked over a nearby table in a fit of rage.

These bastards from the Yamada group cause trouble every day, making him get a severe scolding from his superiors.

Giant Empire Group.

"Boss, after we released Feida Group's earnings report, all the stocks of our subsidiaries rose, surging 15% compared to last month."

Huo Baoning said excitedly, "The company's stock has risen, which means the company's market value has increased, and that's good news."

Last month, Feida Group launched a new Chinese-language pager that can display Chinese characters on the pager. It has been very popular in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, with sales increasing by 20%. As soon as the financial report was released, it immediately triggered a chain reaction in the stock market.

"Tell the securities department to pay attention to any movements in the stock market and not to be targeted by other groups."

The Giant Empire Group has many listed companies, and if they are targeted by malicious financial snipers, they might be caught off guard and suffer a major setback.

"Boss, you're overthinking it! You own more than 40% of the shares in the listed company, how could anyone possibly be willing to take you down?"

Huo Baoning said with a smile, which made Yang Jun laugh as well, realizing that he had been overly cautious.

If the other party attacks Yang Jun's company, they will not only fail to gain any advantage, but may even boost the company's stock price, allowing Yang Jun to make a fortune.

"Boss, congratulations! You're now the richest Chinese person!"

Huo Baoning smiled and took out a newspaper with Yang Jun's photo and an eye-catching headline.

Yang Jun, Hong Kong's richest man, has surpassed Malaysia's richest man, Guo Henian, to become the richest Chinese man on the Forbes list with a net worth of US$80 billion.

Yang Jun, however, was dismissive. The statistics only included the assets of his listed company. His mines, cruise ships, and other assets that could not be found were not included in the statistics. They were just the tip of the iceberg of Yang Jun's wealth.

"Oh, the richest Chinese person, has this been upgraded?"

Yang Jun simply smiled faintly and said casually.

A year ago he was the richest man in Hong Kong, and now he has become the richest man in the Chinese community, with his assets more than doubling.

The main reason is that since 84, Hong Kong's economy has recovered rapidly, with real estate and the stock market both rising sharply. This has led to a general increase in the net worth of Hong Kong's wealthy, and their ranking in the world has risen significantly.

Huo Baoning was very impressed to see that Yang Jun did not react much. Mr. Yang was indeed a man of great things, and he remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

"Boss, you are not only the richest Chinese person now, but also one of the top ten richest people on the Forbes list." "For the first time in over a hundred years, a Chinese person has made it into the top ten on the Forbes list. Boss, you are now a world-class billionaire."

Yang Jun was stunned. Am I that rich?
"Haha! Spread the word that every employee will get a 10% raise this month as a thank you for their hard work."

With a wave of his hand, Yang Jun decided to raise the salaries of all group employees by 10%, which would cost at least several hundred million yuan in salaries each year.

Huo Baoning's eyes lit up. He'd gotten a raise too? He was an employee after all.

"thank you boss!"

The boss eats meat, and they can also have some soup.

Yang Jun's mobile phone rang, and it was a call from Mr. Huo Yingdong to congratulate him.

"Ah Jun, congratulations! You're now the richest Chinese person in Hong Kong! You've brought glory to Hong Kong!"

"Keep up the good work, become the world's richest man, and leave all those foreign devils dumbfounded!"

Since the Industrial Revolution, Western wealth has increased rapidly. Coupled with the West's continuous plunder of vast amounts of wealth from its colonies, the world's richest people have always been Westerners.

The island nation's economy has caught up and developed, producing several world-class billionaires and making it a strong contender for the title of the world's richest person.

Although Hong Kong is economically developed, it is too small to produce many wealthy individuals. Yang Jun was the first Hong Kong tycoon to go global.

When Mr. Huo Yingdong heard the news, he was genuinely happy for his friend and was the first to call to congratulate him.

"Mr. Huo, thank you for your kind words, I will work hard!"

"Jun, this is such a good thing, we definitely have to treat everyone. It's been so long since we got together!"

"Haha, I'm treating everyone at the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow."

After Yang Jun hung up the phone, He Xin, Li Jiacheng, Liu Xiong and others called to congratulate him, which made Yang Jun realize the true value of being a wealthy Chinese person!

Even Director Bai, who was far away in mainland China, made a special phone call to congratulate Yang Jun.

Being the richest Chinese person is a prestigious title, not only making one a renowned figure in the business world but also granting access to considerable political resources.

In their previous lives, some of the richest people were guests of honor of presidents when they visited various countries, chatting and laughing with them.

An apartment building in Wan Chai.

Rosamund Kwan was sulking. He Xinqiong had kicked him out of the film company last time, and now he was completely unemployed.

"Hmph, you bastard, you're a bastard who won't admit it after you've done your job!"

"Men are all the same; once they get their hands on someone, they don't cherish them anymore."

Rosamund Kwan was cursing Yang Jun for his ruthlessness, watching her being kicked out of the company by He Xinqiong and being ignored by her for more than ten days.

"Ah Lin, did you and Mr. Yang really have a fight? Just apologize and admit your mistake."

Liu Jialing, Guan Zhilin's best friend, advocates reconciliation rather than separation, but she secretly envies Guan Zhilin.

“I'll admit my mistake? Impossible. I'll never be the first to back down unless he comes to me first.”

Rosamund Kwan was truly wronged this time. Although he was broke, he couldn't lose face!
What's so great about He Xinqiong? She was just born into a good family and has a good father!
Rosamund Kwan scoffed. If it were a fair competition, she didn't believe she could lose to a rich and beautiful woman, after all, she, Rosamund Kwan, was the best at pleasing men.

"Ah Lin, Mr. Yang has become the richest Chinese person, with a net worth of 80 billion US dollars."

Liu Jialing, Liu's best friend, pointed at the news on TV and stared in shock.

80 billion? US dollars? How many billions of Hong Kong dollars is that? 5.6 billion Hong Kong dollars?

Rosamund Kwan also saw it, and his heart was filled with shock. Brother Jun is so rich, five or six hundred billion Hong Kong dollars?

The two looked at each other, and Liu Jialing joked:
“Miss Guan, don’t blame me for not reminding you, if you don’t call now, Mr. Yang will be snatched away by someone else.”

"Does a man like Mr. Yang ever lack women? Don't be ungrateful!"

Upon hearing this, Rosamund Kwan panicked. Her best friend's words made a lot of sense.

It's not that Yang Jun can't live without Guan Zhilin now, but rather that Guan Zhilin can't live without Yang Jun.

If she leaves Yang Jun, where will she find a long-term meal ticket? Besides, Yang Jun is handsome and stylish, and Rosamund Kwan has already developed feelings for him!
No! We can't let other bitches take advantage of this!
I can't lose and let He Xinqiong and the others laugh at me.
Upon thinking about this issue, Guan Zhilin took the initiative to call Yang Jun.

"Brother Jun, why haven't you come to see me for so long?"

Yang Jun, on the other end, was taken aback for a moment, then said calmly:
"Know that you are wrong?"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, I'm willing to atone for my sins~"

Yang Jun smiled, a mischievous grin playing on his lips:

"Get your props ready, I'm going to play golf today! Two million for a single ball."

Rosamund Kwan has been "trained" enough, so Yang Jun is planning to try something different. You wouldn't understand the joys of being a tycoon!
Upon hearing this, Rosamund Kwan blushed and said:
"Okay! Come early~"

Yang Jun hung up the phone but didn't rush over. Instead, he met Aji, who had returned from the island nation.

"Boss, I've accomplished my mission!"

Yang Jun, with a cigar dangling from his lips, exhaled a puff of white smoke and said with a smile:

"Well done! You completed the task in just a few days!"

Yang Jun had already seen the news. After the death of the third Yamada-gumi, Kobe was in chaos. All the group leaders were vying for the position of the fourth leader and were fighting tooth and nail. A total of 30 to 40 people died in the Yamada-gumi.

"This is a reward for you, a check for five million Hong Kong dollars."

Yang Jun handed Aji a check, and when Aji saw the check, he could hardly believe his eyes.

HK$500 million?
"Brother Jun, this...this..."

"What's wrong? Too little?"

Yang Jun jokingly remarked, which startled Aji, who quickly shook his head and said:

"No, that's too much, I can't accept it!"

Ah-Ji previously worked for Wang Bao, earning only HK$1 to HK$2 per month. Moreover, being a hitman was unpaid work with no bonuses whatsoever!

Wang Bao was extremely stingy with his subordinates. Ah Ji had worked for so long and had only saved up a little over 100,000 yuan, which wasn't enough to buy a house in Hong Kong.

So when Yang Jun gave him HK$500 million, Ah-Ji's first reaction was to test him; the boss wanted to test his loyalty.

Seeing Ah-Ji like this, Ah-Hua laughed and scolded:

“Take what Brother Jun gave you. You need to adapt to our team’s style. We’re the kind of people who work with the boss. If we don’t have tens of millions in assets, we’re embarrassed to even mention it!”

Ahua waved his watch and said smugly:

"Vacheron Constantin limited edition, worth more than two million Hong Kong dollars."

Ah-Jie then realized that this was not a test, but rather that the big shot was being generous and that he could handle the HK$500 million.

“Thank you, boss!”
