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

Chapter 189 188. Yang Junjun is so handsome, what bad intentions could he possibly have?
Island market?

Yang Jun was tempted, but he decided against collaborating with Kazuo Kusakari.
"Sorry, I won't cooperate with you! Unless I see your sincerity?"

Kusakari Kazuo frowned, took a sip of tea, and said to Yang Jun:

Yang Jun's eyes lit up. This cooperation would be very beneficial to him and would not affect Hong Kong's interests.

"How about this: I'll ship Feida Group's products to Kobe, and I'll sell them for you in the Kansai region. We'll split the profits 50/50!"

Kazuo Kusakari knew that Feida Group's VCD players were very popular in Japan, but they were missing a distributor. His Yamada Group happened to be a local power in the Kansai region of Japan. If the cooperation was successful, it would be a win-win situation.

"Okay, but we need to change the cooperation model. I'll sell to you at the lowest wholesale price, and whatever you sell is your profit!"

Unable to sell to Japan through their own channels, they can only offer partial discounts first. Once they develop their own channels, they can sell directly and reap huge profits from the Japanese market!
Kazuo Kusakari nodded, indicating his approval of Yang Jun's cooperation model.

OK! Happy to cooperate!

"There's one more thing: we hope to cooperate with your company on the arms business."

"NO! This won't do!"

Yang Jun refused outright, stating that the island nation has strict gun control and he wouldn't even consider such a small gain.

If Kusakari Kazuo wanted to sell gunpowder to other regions, it would affect Yang Jun's interests, and there was no basis for cooperation between the two sides.

After agreeing to cooperate only on legitimate business, Yang Jun treated Kusakari Kazuo to a meal, and then Kusakari Kazuo returned to his hotel.

Jingle Bell.
"Boss, Ms. Nanako Kusakari is getting into an argument with someone at the mall. Do you want to come and take a look?"

The call was from Lisa, and her voice was anxious.

Yang Jun frowned. "They can even start arguing in a shopping mall."

"Okay, I'm coming right away! Where are you located?"

"Causeway Bay Times Square!"

Yang Jun immediately took a car to Times Square in Causeway Bay, which is the most famous luxury shopping mall in Hong Kong. Yang Jun used to often take his girlfriend shopping here.

Hermès luxury store.

As soon as Yang Jun entered the store, he heard a woman making a fuss.

"I've got my eye on this bag!"

The female shop assistant wanted to smooth things over and kept trying to persuade her:
"Ms. Luo, this bag is a limited edition. There's only one left in the store, and it was just ordered by Ms. Nanako."

This alluring Miss Luo wouldn't let go, clinging to Nanako's clothes.

"You're a foreigner, what right do you have to try and steal my bag?"

"Honey, you'll sell it to me, right?"

Miss Luo was acting coquettishly with the big-bellied man next to her, her tone so cheesy that it was obvious they weren't in a normal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Nanako felt a little wronged. When she saw Yang Jun walking over, she rushed over with teary eyes.

"Yang Junjun, I already bought it, but she..."

In a foreign land, Nanako, who had been bullied, saw an acquaintance and hugged Yang Jun tightly.

Yang Jun was speechless. The Japanese were indeed quite open-minded. Was this how they were on their first meeting?

Yang Jun understood the situation: it was simply that there was only one beautiful limited-edition bag left in the store, and the two women were arguing about who should get it first.

What a bunch of spendthrift women! They're arguing over a handbag!
Lisa, who was standing nearby, quickly came over and explained the situation to Yang Jun, saying:
"We've already bought this bag and are paying for it! But that domineering Miss Luo is trying to snatch it from us."

Miss Luo looks familiar, she seems to be a minor celebrity!

"Brother Jun, what are you doing here?"

The pot-bellied man in the suit turned his head, saw Yang Jun, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Liu Xiong, is this yours?"

This man was none other than Yang Jun's younger brother, Liu Xiong, the boss of Aimeigao and a billionaire.

Yang Jun knew Liu Xiong's wife, who was not Miss Luo standing next to him at all; it seemed she was the mistress.

"Brother Jun, let me introduce you. This is my confidante, Miss Luo."

Liu Xiong winked at Yang Jun and whispered in Yang Jun's ear:

"Don't tell my wife!"

Yang Jun was speechless. He's both incompetent and a womanizer! He wants to fool around outside, and he's even afraid of his wife?
"By the way, is this Japanese woman your new girlfriend? You're quite the boss, dating foreign girls now, bringing glory to the country!"

After seeing Nanako, Liu Xiong suddenly felt that his own girl wasn't so appealing anymore, and gave her a thumbs up!
God, bringing glory to the country! This Liu Xiong is truly a talent! He can come up with all sorts of outrageous things.

"Miss Luo is quite nice too. She must be filming for TVB. I've seen her work."

When Miss Luo saw Yang Jun, she recognized him. Her previous arrogance vanished, replaced by nervousness and trepidation.

"Mr. Yang, it's a misunderstanding! I won't argue anymore. I didn't know she was your friend!"

Yang Jun waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing, and Miss Luo breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to apologize to Nanako.

Nanako was taken aback. Mr. Yang was indeed very powerful in Hong Kong, and he made the arrogant and domineering woman bow down in an instant.

Women in island nations admire strength; they become as docile as sheep in the face of a strong person!
Liu Xiong was overjoyed to see Yang Jun, as he rarely saw this good older brother, and excitedly said:
"Let's go over there for coffee, it's on me!"

Yang Jun readily agreed and went with Liu Xiong to the nearby coffee shop to order one or two lattes.

Three women sat at one table, with Liu Xiong and Yang Jun at the other.

"Jun-ge, have you been playing the stock market lately?"

Liu Xiong asked impatiently. He had recently targeted many listed companies and succeeded multiple times, doubling his wealth and becoming one of Hong Kong's top ten richest people.

However, Liu Xiong's ventures were all small-scale, unlike Yang Jun's large-scale acquisitions of major companies such as Swire Pacific and Hong Kong Electric.

Yang Jun has been rarely trading stocks lately, instead letting his fund companies handle it. After all, the Giant Empire Group is too large, and targeting small companies would only yield meager profits and would also attract investigations from the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

"I have some news for you: after the four regulatory bodies are merged into one, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) will be more stringent in its investigations. Be careful!"

Upon hearing that a listed company was being targeted for violating securities laws, Liu Xiong's face tensed up.

"No way! I'm always very careful~"

Liu Xiong listened with trepidation. He was always very cautious and had his own fund company, though it was much smaller than Giant Fund.

Yang Jun patted Liu Xiong on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"It's alright, you can ask Mr. Li Fuzhao yourself next time you have tea with him."

"By the way, have you been keeping an eye on Hong Kong Telecom's stock?"

Liu Xiong's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:

"Of course! Hong Kong Telecom's stock price is soaring! In just a few months, its market value has skyrocketed from HK$50 billion to HK$80 billion, an increase of more than 60%, it's incredible!"

With the widespread adoption of pagers and the increasing number of mobile phones in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Telecom's valuation has soared.

In just a few months, it grew from a medium-sized company with a market value of HK$50 billion to a conglomerate with a market value of HK$80 billion, and it's still soaring. "Brother Jun, are you interested in Hong Kong Telecom? You get the meat, I'll just have the soup!"

Liu Xiong thought Yang Jun was going to target the company, so he immediately perked up and sharpened his knife.

"No, I am also a shareholder of Hong Kong Telecom, of course I would not target Hong Kong Telecom!"

Yang Jun held 20% of the shares in Hong Kong Telecom through the telephone company, making him the second largest shareholder, while Eastern Telegraph Company held 39% of the shares, making it the largest shareholder.

"Do you know Howard Jack from the Eastern Telegraph Company? He's Howard Sr.'s son."

The Howard family was behind the Eastern Telegraph Company, a prominent family in British politics. Old Howard had two sons, one of whom was assigned to Hong Kong to manage the family business.

Yang Jun had already inquired and found out that this Jack had interacted with Liu Xiong before and liked to trade stocks.

"I know him. He's a spoiled brat who always pesters me to take him into the stock market!"

"But I don't really pay him any attention. That kid looks down on Chinese people and has done a lot of bad things in Hong Kong!"

Liu Xiong's eyes held contempt. If it weren't for his family's wealth, this kind of spoiled English brat would have been devoured long ago, leaving not even bones behind.

Yang Jun's eyes lit up, and an idea popped into his head!
"You are like this"

Yang Jun planned to set a trap to lure the good-for-nothing Jack in. All he needed to do was get Jack heavily in debt so that he would voluntarily sell his Hong Kong Telecom stock.

It's not easy for the cunning old Howard, but isn't it easy for Jack?

"After it's done, I'll give you 5% of Hong Kong Telecom stock."

I can't handle this myself; it's best to let Liu Xiong do it. That guy already has a long history of bad behavior in Hong Kong's business circles.

After hearing this, Liu Xiong's eyes lit up. It turned out that Brother Jun had his eye on Hong Kong Telecom and wanted to take over the entire company.

With 5% of its telecommunications shares, and given Hong Kong Telecom's continued growth, its market value will only continue to increase.

Yang Jun remembers clearly that the Rong family acquired 20% of Hong Kong Telecom's shares in 1989 for HK$103 billion, indicating that Hong Kong Telecom's market value was as high as HK$500 billion.

Later, Li Ka-shing's second son acquired Hong Kong Telecom for HK$1180 billion in 2000, and its market value continued to soar.

Hong Kong Telecom is a cash cow with astonishing value, and Yang Jun definitely wants to take it all!

That evening, Liu Xiong invited Jack to a nightclub and found the most beautiful top hostess.

"Mr. Liu, you asked me to come here today because you promised to take me into the stock market?"

Jack, with two beautiful women on either side of him, drank a glass of foreign liquor, then stared at Liu Xiong across from him and asked him a question.

Jack was in his thirties and quite handsome, but he had dark circles under his eyes and looked like a playboy.

Jack actually wanted to improve himself, but his abilities didn't allow it. He lost a lot of money investing in the restaurant industry, so this year he turned his attention to stock trading, losing one or two million dollars in the process.

He occasionally heard that Liu Xiong was very good at stock trading, so he went to Liu Xiong's house to ask for advice, but Liu Xiong didn't pay much attention to him.

Howard Jack was suspicious. "Did Liu Xiong have a change of heart and invite me out for drinks today?"

“Jack, we are destined to meet. In fact, I have known you for a long time, you are a talented young man and the pride of the Howard family!”

Liu Xiong also drank quite a bit and started boasting about Jack in a nonsensical way.

Jack was completely bewildered, grinning from ear to ear, and the more he looked at Liu Xiong, the more pleasing he seemed.

Without wasting words, Liu Xiong threw out a bait.

Liu Xiong looked around, then told the young lady to go out first and his underlings to watch the door from the outside before cautiously saying:

"Didn't you want to make money with me? Let me tell you some inside information. I'm working with a powerful tycoon to manipulate the stock price of a company called Wanwei International."

"This stock will rise from 0.5 yuan to more than 3 yuan within three days, and you can make a little profit from it."

Liu Xiong crossed his legs, a cigar dangling from his lips, looking every bit the big shot.

Jack, looking shocked, stood up excitedly and said:
"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, believe it or not~"

Jack quickly raised a glass of wine and toasted Liu Xiong.

"Brother Xiong, if I make money, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope!"

Jack, who also knew about Chinese customs and etiquette, patted his chest and assured Liu Xiong.

Liu Xiong chuckled to himself, thinking, "Just don't try to stab me with a knife later, then I won't need a red envelope."

After leaving the nightclub, Jack thought about it and wondered if the whole thing was reliable. Was Liu Xiong really that kind-hearted?

How about we put a few hundred thousand in first to test the waters?
Although Jack was one of the shareholders of Hong Kong Telecom, he was merely holding shares on behalf of his family, and in reality, he had very limited access to the money himself.

Due to his extravagant spending and numerous failed investments, Jack was left with only a few million Hong Kong dollars.

Jack thought he'd put in a few hundred thousand to test the waters, and wouldn't feel bad if he got scammed.
Jack was also ambitious and wanted to achieve something to show his father, John.

He wasn't the only legitimate son in the family; he also had an older brother who was far more successful and controlled assets worth tens of billions in England.

It's not that we're afraid of rich kids squandering their money, it's that we're afraid of them starting their own

Jack wants to prove himself; he's not a spoiled brat, he's the pride of the Howard family!
Meanwhile, Yang Jun was having dinner with Nanako Kusakari. Nanako was treating him and insisted on thanking Yang Jun for helping her out of a tight spot that afternoon.

"Yang Junjun, could you teach me Cantonese opera? I really love Hong Kong, and I want to live here!"

Nanako Kusakari really likes Hong Kong, and she also wants to visit the mainland.

Yang Jun was quite surprised. He put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile:

"If you want to learn Chinese, why don't you just find a Chinese teacher?"

Nanako Kusakari pouted and said in a coquettish tone in English:
"No, I don't like ugly teachers, I can't concentrate on learning!"

Goodness! He's a sucker for good looks! Yang Jun was amused.

Coincidentally, I also study foreign languages ​​and am also a sucker for pretty faces, so I'm looking for a beautiful teacher to teach me Japanese!
"Nanako, how about I teach you Cantonese and you teach me Japanese?"

If Yang Jun wants to make money from the Japanese in the future, he will inevitably have to learn Japanese, and luckily there is a ready-made teacher.

"Great! When can we start? I can't wait!"

Nanako Kusakari was so innocent and naive that Yang Jun felt embarrassed to lie to her. No, he still needed to learn a foreign language.

"Come on, I booked a hotel room. It's quiet there, perfect for studying!"

Yang Jun suggested studying in the hotel upstairs, reasoning that the rooms would be quieter and there would be no one to disturb them.

Nanako Kusakari was also stunned. Even if she was innocent, she knew that she shouldn't go to the room with a man.

However, Nanako felt guilty. Yang Junjun was so handsome, what bad intentions could he have? She must have been overthinking it.

Yes, yes, that must be it!

Beauty is everything! This is the most basic understanding for a young girl.
