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

Chapter 205, Section 204: Mr. Yang's rules are the rules!

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jun shrugged and smiled:

"Police-community cooperation! Director Li is so eager for advancement!"

Yang Jun agreed to Director Li's request. In return, Li Junxia instructed the police to only raid the establishments of Hung Hing, Tung Sing, and the Number Gang, while ignoring the establishments of Wo Luen Shing.

If he can resolve the chaos in the entertainment industry, it will add luster to Director Li's resume and give him an advantage in the competition for the top spot.

"Boss, Mr. Zou from Golden Harvest Films is here."

Yang Jun's door was pushed open, and his assistant Lisa walked in and reported to Yang Jun.

Boss Zou? What's he doing here?
"Take him to the drawing room, I'll be there shortly."

Yang Jun still valued Raymond Chow highly. Golden Harvest Films licensed the film copyrights to Feida Group's VCD disc business, which made Yang Jun a fortune.

Furthermore, Yang Jun wants to obtain the exclusive rights to the VCD discs of subsequent films from Golden Harvest.

"Mr. Zou, it's been a long time!"

"Mr. Yang, the reason I've come to ask for your help is this."

Raymond Chow is quite straightforward and doesn't mince words; he states all his demands clearly.

Yang Jun listened quietly, then said to Zou Wenhuai:

"Does Mr. Zou want me to step in and regulate the rules of the film industry?"

Raymond Chow felt a little guilty, worried that Yang Jun would refuse outright, as this was a thankless task.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jun smiled and agreed:
“Mr. Zou, I will help, but I have one condition.”

Raymond Chow became suspicious; things were indeed not that simple. Yang Jun then made his demands.

"Mr. Yang, please speak."

Raymond Chow was prepared for a huge financial loss. There was nothing he could do; Mr. Yang had immense influence, with connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles.

"I hope that Golden Harvest will give us priority in selling the VCD rights to their future films."

"Furthermore, artists from both sides can be borrowed from each other, and a fee will be paid for the borrowing."

Yang Jun set his sights on artists signed to Golden Harvest Films, such as kung fu superstar Chen Long, as well as actresses like Anita Mui and Michelle Yeoh.

Raymond Chow's eyes lit up. He had thought the conditions would be harsh, but Yang Jun's proposed conditions would also be beneficial to Jiahe Telecom.

“Mr. Yang, you are a man who truly accomplishes great things. You have a grand vision and are thinking about the development of the film industry.”

Raymond Chow immediately showered Yang Jun with compliments, praising him highly.

Zou Wenhuai had expected Yang Jun to take the opportunity to make unreasonable demands, and he was prepared to bleed a lot of money. However, Yang Jun agreed quite readily, which greatly surprised Zou Wenhuai.

The two discussed the details of the collaboration, including the joint efforts of the cinema chains. Their films would not only be shown in their own cinemas but also simultaneously in each other's cinemas to increase audience attendance.

In this way, Yang Jun's films can be released simultaneously on Yang's Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, and Sil-Metropole Cinemas, increasing exposure by 3 times and boosting box office revenue accordingly.

Yang Jun's film "A Chinese Ghost Story II" was about to be shown in theaters, becoming a pilot film for the joint screening of three major cinemas after the reform.
After seeing Raymond Chow off, Yang Jun called Jiang Tianyang of Hung Hing.

"Mr. Jiang, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. I'm planning to convene a conference to bring together the heads of the various organizations that have entered the entertainment industry, and agree on rules that all film companies should abide by."

"Are you interested? You can join!"

Every industry has its rules, and the film industry, as an emerging sector in Hong Kong, despite its recent turmoil, must also have its own regulations.

Jiang Tianyang was a smart man. He immediately understood Yang Jun's intention and agreed with a smile.

"It's rare for Mr. Yang to think so highly of me; of course I should participate in such a good thing."

Jiang Tianyang managed Hung Hing using business tactics, always trying to whitewash Hung Hing's image.

Jiang Tianyang also opened a film company, investing in and producing gangster films. Some time ago, his film "Dragon on the Edge" was released in Yang Jun's theaters and grossed 1 million yuan, which is a good result among many film companies!
In business, be high-profile; in gang warfare, be low-profile.

For Jiang Tianyang, unifying the rules of the film industry would also be of great benefit.

"Tomorrow night at 8 pm, I'll be hosting a dinner at the 'You Gu Qi' restaurant in Tsuen Wan, inviting the bosses of major film companies."

Yang Jun hung up the phone and had Ah Hua send invitations to the bosses of major film companies in Hong Kong. He joined forces with the big bosses of the two major triads, Luen Shing and Hung Hing, to invite the film bosses to dinner. Those who received the invitations were all very surprised!
Among the four major triads in Hong Kong, Yang Jun and Jiang Tianyang are the de facto leaders. When they jointly send out invitations, who would dare not give them face!

Tomorrow night, at 8 o'clock, Youguqi Restaurant!

Soon it was time, and there were luxury cars parked all around.

The bosses of major film companies arrived with their underlings, who could only stand at the door and wait, not allowed to go in!
Tsuen Wan Police Station received a tip that a large number of dwarfs had gathered at the Yau Kau Restaurant in its jurisdiction. The chief superintendent of the station was so alarmed that he arranged for a large number of police officers to work overtime and guard the area to prevent any accidents from happening.

Inside the private room of the Youguqi Restaurant, there were two round tables. Yang Jun and Jiang Tianyang sat at the head of the table, along with Raymond Chow, the owner of Golden Harvest Films.

Raymond Chow glanced at a burly man with a dragon and tiger painting next to him, feeling uneasy. These colleagues were not to be trifled with!

"Is everyone here?"

Yang Jun glanced at his watch and realized that it was past 8:05, and the two round tables were almost full.

Ahua stood behind Yang Jun, wearing a sharp designer suit, and bowed to Yang Jun, saying:

"Only Mr. Cai from Dongchu Films hasn't come yet. He's from Dongxing and just returned from Helan not long ago."

Tung Sing's branches generally sell noodles. As the largest transit point in the Far East, Hong Kong was where Tung Sing would transport goods from Hong Kong to Ho Lan, and then from Ho Lan to various European countries.

This Mr. Cai, who came back from Helan, must be a drug dealer.

Yang Jun shrugged and said to Jiang Tianyang beside him:
"No more waiting! Anyone who's late will be considered to have automatically forfeited!"

"Da Dong, move the empty chair away."

Da Dong moved all the empty chairs from the two round tables. The movie theater owners at the two round tables looked at each other, glad they had arrived early, otherwise they would have had nowhere to sit. Just then, a boss walked in from the door, with slicked-back hair, dressed in a suit and looking very respectable, followed by two henchmen.

"Sorry I'm late, there was traffic!"

When Boss Cai entered the private room, he found that there were no empty seats, and his face darkened.

Feeling a bit awkward standing there, I snapped at the waitress who had just come in.

"Fuck your mother! Can't you see there's still someone here? Where's the chair?"

The waitresses were terrified and cried. They were so frightened by the way Boss Cai looked like he was going to eat them alive that they didn't know what to do!
Yang Jun waved to the waitress, signaling her to leave first. The waitress breathed a sigh of relief and fled the private room as if her life depended on it.

Yang Jun stared at Boss Cai, a middle-aged man in his thirties with a rather muscular build, who was probably a former thug who exercised regularly.

Yang Jun shrugged and asked jokingly:

"Traffic jam? What kind of car are you driving?"

When Boss Cai saw Yang Jun asking the question personally, he was startled and honestly replied:

I drive a Mazda.

Mr. Cai has just arrived in Hong Kong and has invested a lot of money in movies. He drives a Mazda sedan.

Yang Jun scoffed and said coldly:
"We all ride in Rolls-Royces and Mercedes, and you drive a Mazda? No wonder you're stuck in traffic?"

"You drive a Mazda, you're not qualified to attend this meeting at all."

Boss Cai looked grim, his chest aching with anger. He was only five minutes late, yet he was being used as a scapegoat.

Jiang Tianyang also had a grudge against Boss Cai, and took the opportunity to make his life miserable by destroying Boss Cai.

"Boss Cai, you were six minutes late, which shows you don't value this meeting and don't treat us like brothers!"

"Go home and wait for a call. I'll let you know the results."

Jiang Tianyang was gloating. It was this Boss Cai who had fought him for Li Lianjie, and the two sides had even gone to war.

Mr. Cai's face turned pale and then red. If it were just Jiang Tianyang, he could have turned on him on the spot, but he was facing the golden combination of Mr. Yang and Jiang Tianyang.

After a minute of stalemate, Boss Cai turned and left the private room with a cold face.

The film company bosses in the private room were shocked. Mr. Cai had been kicked out just like that, losing all face. If word got out, Mr. Cai of Tung Sing would be in big trouble.

"Okay, let's begin the meeting now. Today we'll mainly discuss the rules of the film industry."

Yang Jun looked around and said to everyone:

"Every country has its laws, and every industry has its rules! As an emerging market, the Hong Kong film industry must have its own regulations!"

"A few days ago, one of my company's female artists was threatened to film a pornographic film, and Chen Long, who works for Boss Zou, was beaten up. These are all the work of you industry peers!"

"Also, Tung Sing and Hung Hing got into a big fight in the street over a celebrity, which led to a large-scale police crackdown and caused you heavy losses, right?"

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he gave everyone a minute to think about it. He said that the film industry was in such a mess that it was not good for any film company!

Sure enough, the film company bosses below whispered among themselves, all agreeing that Yang Jun's words made a lot of sense.

However, some powerful figures in the underworld were unconvinced and insisted on using violence to resolve the conflict with the film company.

"I believe that people start film companies to ensure the legitimacy of the company and avoid the dangers of the industry."

"I propose that no one should use violence or coerce artists to make movies, and that conflicts should be resolved through negotiation."

"Nobody wants to go back to the way they came, right?"

In short, peace is the most important thing!

Shan Hua, the head of the water room, was the first to agree, and said with a fawning smile:

"Mr. Yang makes a good point; I, Kaishanhua, am the first to agree!"

Yang Jun looked at Kai Shanhua. This kid was quite clever. With Kai Shanhua creating the right atmosphere, the other dozen or so film company bosses all expressed their agreement.

"Mr. Yang, I have a question. We can't use violence, so what do we do without artists?"

Hengji's fiery Ming looked displeased. His film company had just opened, and who the hell would join a new film company?

The beginning is always the hardest. Without the advantage of using violence, how can their film company find popular movie stars to work with?

Yang Jun's face darkened, and he said to Huo Baoming:
"I don't care how you find the artists, but you can't use violence, that's the rule!"

Fiery Ming slammed his hand on the table and said with a sneer:
"You say violence can't be used, so you can't use it? Who do you think you are?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent.

Luo Tianhong's lips curled into a wicked smile as he stood up and walked in front of Huo Baoming.

With a whoosh, Luo Tianhong's eight-sided Han sword was drawn, and everyone's vision blurred.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Fiery Ming's ear was cut off and flew right into Raymond Chow's teacup.

Huo Baoming screamed in pain and looked at Luo Tianhong in shock. This kid was too fast. He didn't even have time to react before his ear flew off.

Luo Tianhong sneered and said coldly:
"Mr. Yang's rules are the rules!"

"Your ears are playing tricks on you, just throw it away."
