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

Chapter 186, Section 185: Robbing Islanders at Sea?
Upon hearing Fang Zhanbo's heavy resentment, the three sisters, Fang Min, Fang Fang, and Fang Ting, asked curiously:
"Zhanbo, what did Mr. Yang do to you? Why are you so resentful?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhanbo was about to pour out his grievances, saying that he had been terribly wronged by Yang Jun, who had not only stolen his girlfriend but also forced him to undergo a circumcision.

Fang Zhanbo dared not tell the truth. Could he say that he had been jealous of Mr. Yang and had been beaten up several times and forced to undergo surgery?

I can't bring myself to say it! I'd only embarrass myself.

"In short, you should all stay away from him, Fang Ting, especially you. Be careful at work and don't let the lecherous boss take advantage of you."

Fang Ting blushed and hurriedly said:

"What are you saying? Our group is so big, I can hardly ever see Mr. Yang!"

Fang Ting has been working at Swire Group for over a year, and she rarely even sees the president of Swire Group, Liang Yongqi. How could she possibly meet the big boss of the head office?

There was a huge difference between them. Fang Ting had only seen Yang Jun's appearance in photos in the company's conference room; she had never met him in person.

Fang Zhanbo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Fang Ting was so low-class that she wouldn't be able to see Yang Jun!

He was genuinely afraid that Yang Jun would retaliate against the Fang family. If Fang Ting lost her job because of him, Fang Zhanbo would be incredibly depressed.

Giant Film Company.

Sammo Hung arrived at Giant Film Company with more than a dozen people, met Yang Jun, and introduced his Hung Family Gang team to Yang Jun.

"Mr. Yang, let me introduce you. This is Yuan Biao."

"I've heard so much about you! I've heard so much about you!"

Yang Jun shook hands with each member of the Hung family gang. Each of these members was a martial arts instructor, director, and stuntman in the film industry, each holding multiple positions.

"This gentleman needs no introduction, Mr. Lin Zhengying!"

Yang Jun called out Lin Zhengying's name, which shocked Lin Zhengying, who was nobody in the crowd. "Mr. Yang, how do you know me?"
Lin Zhengying pioneered the zombie film era, and Yang Jun certainly recognized that righteous and awe-inspiring face—it was Uncle Ying!

Childhood memories are of course the zombie movies starring Lin Zhengying. However, zombie movies didn't exist in this era, and Yang Jun didn't mind bringing the zombie movie series to this world ahead of time.

"Mr. Yang, do you know me?"

Lin Zhengying was flattered, and Yang Jun made up an excuse, saying with a smile:

"Xiao Long's right-hand man, who directed the martial arts for 'The Big Boss,' I've seen your action choreography, it's fantastic!"

Upon hearing Mr. Yang's praise, Lin Zhengying could barely contain his smile.

The other members of the Hong family gang around them were all envious and jealous. Lin Zhengying had struck it lucky to be noticed by Mr. Yang at first glance.

Yang Jun summoned Liu Guanwei and said to him:
"This 'Mr. Vampire' film has a budget of HK$500 million, and I'm planning to let you direct it. Do your best!"

What? You want me to direct a movie with a budget of HK$500 million? Liu Guanwei couldn't help but feel terrified. He had never made a movie before. He had worked as a cinematographer at Golden Harvest, but had never been a director.

He Xinqiong walked over in high heels and said with a smile:

"Director Liu, the boss personally selected you to direct, so don't mess this up!"

Liu Guanwei looked delighted. "They really let me film this? And the big boss from head office specifically requested it!" he said, patting his chest.

"Mr. Yang, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to make this horror film!"

Giants movies rarely make horror films, and this is the first time Giants has made a zombie horror film, incorporating comedic elements, which was a great success in the original timeline.

Yang Jun only needed to copy the homework. Mr. Vampire took in 2 million Hong Kong dollars at the local box office and became a classic Hong Kong film, a pioneering zombie movie.

"Shall we cast Lin Zhengying as the lead actor for the movie?"

What? Lin Zhengying?
Everyone gasped in shock. Lin Zhengying had neither fame nor good looks!
Even Sammo Hung was taken aback. He had long heard that Mr. Yeung was unconventional in his casting choices, often using unpopular actors unexpectedly.

The last movie, "All for the Winner," starred newcomer Stephen Chow, but Stephen Chow does have some good looks.

This time it's even more outrageous; they directly chose a middle-aged man in his forties. Is that even allowed?!
Golden Leopard was happy for Lin Zhengying, as his old friend finally had hope of stepping into the limelight, but he still asked a worried question.

"Mr. Yang, with Zheng Ying starring, will this affect the movie's box office?"

Yang Jun smiled and shook his head, then said to Hong Jinbao:

"It's alright! I'm not worried at all. Let Lin Zhengying play Uncle Nine. That's settled."

Yang Jun is the big boss and has a say in the actors' careers. Director Liu Guanwei, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Yang has a good eye. Lin Zhengying is very suitable for the image of the master of Maoshan, Uncle Nine!"

The screenplay for the movie "Mr. Vampire" was written by Liu Guanwei, because his uncle was a Taoist master from Maoshan, and he had been exposed to many supernatural stories since childhood.

Seeing the huge success of Sammo Hung's films "Encounters of the Spooky Kind" and "The Dead and the Deadly," he decided to make a different kind of supernatural film, and thus "Mr. Vampire" was born.

"How about Ah Bao gets a role too? Let him play Wen Cai!"

Ah Bao?

Mr. Yang called Hung Kam-pao "Ah Bao," which made Chow Shui-fat and Andy Lau from Giants Films suppress their laughter. They usually call Hung Kam-pao "Big Brother," but they didn't expect Mr. Yang to address him like that.

They even cast Sammo Hung in a supporting role; very few people in the entire film and entertainment industry would dare to do that.

"Sure! I'm fine with it!"

Sammo Hung readily agreed. "Mr. Vampire" has a lot of kung fu elements, and Sammo Hung has an excellent kung fu foundation. There's also no problem with the comedic elements!
With Yang Jun's approval, the film crew for "Mr. Vampire" was officially finalized, with Lin Zhengying, Hong Jinbao, Qian Xiaohao, and Li Saifeng as the main actors.

Sammo Hung led his entire Hung family gang to switch to Giant Films, becoming the biggest news in the film industry this year. This changed the three-way balance of power in the Hong Kong film industry, with Giant Films becoming the dominant force and officially becoming the largest film company in Hong Kong.

"Let's go, it's my treat today. Let's have a welcome banquet for the brothers of the Hung family gang. Let's go to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel."

Sammo Hung and others exclaimed that their boss was very generous, hosting a welcome banquet at a five-star hotel, which was even more lavish than the boss of Golden Harvest.

"Mr. Yang is so generous, treating us to a five-star hotel!"

"Of course, Mr. Yang is the richest man in the Chinese community. Mr. Zou, the boss of Golden Harvest Films, is not even among the richest people in Hong Kong."

"The film company is only a small part of Mr. Yang's business empire; it's insignificant. Mr. Yang is a big businessman!"

Yang Jun, accompanied by the director and actors, came downstairs and was blocked by a large number of reporters at the entrance. Hong Jinbao was surrounded by reporters, and one reporter interviewed him.

"Mr. Hong, why did you lead the Hong family to switch to Giant Films? Is it because of a conflict with your former employer?"

Sammo Hung smiled, considered for a moment, and said:
"I have a very good relationship with Mr. Zou, but Mr. Yang has been kind to me and is my benefactor!"

"Mr. Yang is a kind and loyal man. I chose Giants Movies to repay his kindness."

Yang Jun, listening from the side, felt quite guilty. This Sammo Hung was praising himself to the skies, and he felt rather embarrassed.

Yang Jun went to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to host a welcome banquet for the Hong family gang. He drank quite a bit and staggered to the restroom to relieve himself. Just after he finished, he saw Brigitte Lin walking towards him.

"How did you drink so much?" Lin Qingxia took the initiative to help Yang Jun. Yang Jun put one hand on the wall and put the other arm around Lin Qingxia.

"These martial arts masters can really drink! Damn, they drink alcohol like it's water!"

Yang Jun usually has a good alcohol tolerance, but today he encountered more than a dozen martial arts experts from the Hong family gang, and his stomach couldn't take it anymore!

Although he has golden kidneys, he doesn't have a golden stomach, so Yang Jun was still a bit drunk and was walking unsteadily.

Da Dong and the others exchanged knowing glances. Seeing a woman taking care of Yang Jun, they slyly stepped back, making room for the two of them.

"Why don't you go upstairs and get a room to rest? I'll take you up with me."

"Go upstairs to book a room?" Yang Jun glanced at Lin Qingxia's stunning profile and thought to himself, "Women from Taiwan are pretty direct."

Lin Qingxia was actually more nervous than Yang Jun. She was originally a conservative girl, but she had feelings for Yang Jun!
Yang Jun had saved her last time, so it was normal for her to bring him to the hotel room to sober up. After putting Yang Jun on the bed, she planned to leave.

"Don't leave!"

Yang Jun took Lin Qingxia's hand, looking at her tall figure and exquisitely beautiful face, and felt a strong urge to seduce her.

Lin Qingxia hesitated for a moment, internally resisting, "No, Mr. Yang has a fiancée!"

What I'm doing is wrong, please don't do anything foolish!

Seeing that Lin Qingxia did not resist, Yang Jun was secretly pleased, thinking that things were looking promising!

With a forceful pull, Lin Qingxia fell onto the bed and was then pinned down by Yang Jun!
"do not want!"

Lin Qingxia blinked her big eyes, looked at the face so close to hers, and then closed them.

"No means yes~"

"Then I want it?"

"This is so good~"

Lin Qingxia rolled her eyes at Yang Jun, but after offering only token resistance to his actions, she began to enjoy herself!
The night passed.

When Brigitte Lin woke up, she saw that the man beside her was no longer there, and she felt a pang of loss.

have they gone?
Lin Qingxia picked up a letter from the table. It contained a card and a key to an apartment.

"Miss Lin, you're my woman from now on! There's a million in the account, it's your spending money, and a 120-square-meter apartment near your company so it'll be more convenient for you to get to work!"

Lin Qingxia gave a wry smile. What is this? Is it being kept as a sugar daddy?
This domineering man!
However, she still put the card and apartment key away. She needed money everywhere to make a living in Hong Kong, and with this 100 million, she was temporarily relieved of her financial worries.

Meanwhile, Yang Jun arrived at the Repulse Bay Villa.

Ahua, Feiji, Luo Tianhong, and others had already arrived. Dizang sat alone in a corner. There was nothing he could do; everyone here was a big brother, and he was the only lowly member among the red sticks, so he could only sit in the corner.

"Airplane, you should wear a Patek Philippe too."

Wu Sheng saw the gleaming gold watch on the airplane's wrist and enviously leaned over to take a look.

The airplane was shy, but it nodded smugly and said with a smile:

"I made some money this year, and my wife bought it for me~"

With a sly grin, Wu Sheng teased the plane:
"You've been secretly dating someone, haven't you? But what kind of girlfriend is she if we're not married?!"

Money can change a person's demeanor. When a person puts on a designer suit and a luxury watch, they don't look like a hoodlum at all.

Yang Jun walked over and patted Wu Sheng on the head.

"Wu Sheng, you should learn from Fei Ji and stop wasting money on women in nightclubs."

Wu Sheng disagreed and retorted to Yang Jun:
"Boss, the women at nightclubs do charge money, but they only ask for a few hundred dollars, maybe a few thousand at most!"

"If you're looking for a wife, you can't afford it without a million dollars! These days, you can't even trust your wife!"

Wow! What Wu Sheng said makes a lot of sense. These days, women are getting more and more expensive, and men without money can only stay at home and play by themselves.

"Ksitigarbha, come here~"

Yang Jun waved to Dizang in the corner. Dizang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran over.

"This is Ksitigarbha. From now on, the Central area will be managed by Ksitigarbha."

Originally, Wo Luen Shing didn't have many bars or nightclubs in Central, but this time the police arrested the Ting brothers in Central, and Yang Jun acquired several bars in Lan Kwai Fong, handing them all over to Di Zang to manage, thus promoting him to become the top dog in Central.

"Congratulations! Brother Dizang, remember to treat us to dinner tonight!"

Wu Sheng said with a grin, "Since Dizang was called over by Yang Jun, he can be considered one of us!"
Feiji, Luo Tianhong, Han Bin, and others all congratulated Dizang, which made Dizang very excited. He stood up and said with a smile:

"Alright, I'll treat you all tonight. You must do me the honor of joining me."

"Mr. Yang, you can come along if you have time~"

Ksitigarbha nervously extended an invitation to Yang Jun, since Mr. Yang was usually very busy and rarely hung out with his underlings at bars.

"Okay! I'll be there tonight~"

Yang Jun readily agreed, much to Dizang's delight!
"Ksitigarbha's loyalty +5"

Yang Jun then brought up the topic of gambling ships in international waters and asked Ahua:
"Has the gambling ship incident been investigated thoroughly? Who exactly is behind this?"

Ahua took out a document and handed it to Yang Jun, saying:
“I have already investigated. There are more than 10 gambling ships on the high seas. In addition to the three ships belonging to our company, there are six ships from island nations alone.”

"These six ships all belong to the same company, a corporation in Shinjuku, Japan, which is backed by the Sumiyoshi-kai, a yakuza group."

Another yakuza gang? Yang Jun was startled. It seemed that gambling was inextricably linked to yakuza gangs.

Making a living through shady dealings inevitably involves dealing with organized crime groups all over the world.

"Boss, what's our next step?"

Destroying someone's financial path is like killing one's parents!
The two sides are competitors and definitely don't like each other. It's just a matter of who makes the first move!
Get started first!
"Ahua, it looks like we'll have to go back to our old ways again, this time as part-time pirates!"

Pirates? Ahua's eyes lit up. They were planning to rob a cruise ship!
Those who can afford to gamble on cruise ships are all wealthy people. If someone could hijack a cruise ship on the high seas, they would be rich!

Ahua was secretly pleased. This would both damage the other party's cruise ships, as cruise ship safety was not guaranteed, and who would dare to board them in the future?
They can make a fortune again, killing two birds with one stone and winning twice!
Soon, Yang Jun instructed Ahua to conduct a detailed investigation of the six cruise ships in order to determine which one to target.

That evening, Ahua approached Yang Jun again and said to him:
"Boss, this cruise ship is the largest, with about 500 passengers, mostly from Japan!"

Islanders? Yang Jun's eyes lit up. Islanders are incredibly wealthy.

In the 80s, the island nation's economy reached its peak, boasting that it could buy the entire United States.
