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

Chapter 242, Section 241: The wife is pregnant; the family line will continue!
Unexpectedly, "Men Behind the Sun" had this effect, which was a pleasant surprise. It sparked a boycott of Japanese goods in Hong Kong and mainland China, especially in Hong Kong, which is a very rare occurrence.

Just a month ago, ordinary Hong Kong citizens had a friendly impression of the islanders, thinking they were polite and well-mannered. But in less than a few days, their opinion of the islanders has completely changed.

Yang Jun sat in a chair, legs crossed, a Cuban cigar between his fingers.

"Feida Group's total monthly sales exceeded HK$20 billion, and profits reached HK$10 billion, both representing an increase of more than 50% compared to the previous month."

Huo Baoning's face was filled with excitement, and his hands were trembling as he held the documents. This meant that Feida Group had become another cash cow for Giant Group, just like Hong Kong Electric Group, and had become the right-hand man of Giant Empire Group's cash flow.

Hong Kong Electric Holdings Limited's monthly net profit is around HK$10 billion. These two subsidiaries alone can provide Yang Jun with HK$20 billion in cash every month. This is why Yang Jun can expand his business empire so aggressively without worrying about cash flow disruptions.

"Boss, you're amazing! You made hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars from just one movie."

Huo Baoning looked on with admiration. He knew that this was all due to the public opinion effect caused by the boss's investment in a movie called "Black Sun 731". The effect was most significant this month because the movie had just been released in mainland China and Hong Kong, triggering a series of chain reactions.

Earning hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars from a single movie—even the most brilliant business manager couldn't do that.

Yang Jun waved his hand, stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray, and said with a smile:

"During this period, Feida Group will accelerate shipments, expand production lines, and capture more market share, especially in the mainland market. We cannot let the islanders make money."

In the current home appliance market, whether in Hong Kong or mainland China, Japanese home appliances dominate, offering high quality at competitive prices and holding over 50% of the domestic market share.

Take televisions as an example. Japanese brands such as Toshiba and Panasonic hold an absolute advantage in the mainland market, occupying more than 80% of the market share. Although the market share of Japanese brands has declined this month, it still accounts for more than 60%.

The market share of domestically produced and Hong Kong-made televisions is still less than half, and they are far outpaced by Japanese televisions.

Yang Jun looked at the marketing report for the television set, closed the file, and said to Huo Baoning:
"The price of televisions in mainland China will be reduced by another 10% from the original price, which will give them a price advantage over products from island countries and expand their market share!"

"In addition, I plan to spend a lot of money to secure advertising on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. Ask the advertising department to provide a budget. No matter how much it costs, I want to see Giant's advertisements appear on the Spring Festival Gala."

Yang Jun scribbled his signature on the document with a fountain pen, signing off on several advertising budgets.

In those days, advertising on the Spring Festival Gala only cost a few million Hong Kong dollars, and the advertising effect was very strong. This was a television channel that covered hundreds of millions of people, which was crucial for the current Giant Empire Group.

Huo Baoning's eyes lit up. That's right! Why didn't I think of investing in advertisements for the Spring Festival Gala in mainland China!

This is the best way to build brand awareness. Once brand awareness is established, Feida Group's home appliances can compete with Japanese brands in the mainland market.

Feida Group's factories are all located in mainland China, where labor costs are low and there are no tariffs to pay. This gives them a clear cost advantage over island nation brands. Once their brand awareness increases, they will naturally be able to compete with major brands like Panasonic and Toshiba.

In the afternoon, Yang Jun drove to Giant Film Company to listen to the report from Liu Xing, the general manager of the film company.

As soon as he entered the film company, he ran into Li Lianjie, who was walking out looking sullen. He didn't even greet Yang Jun.

"Ah Fa, what's wrong with this kid?"

Zhou Ruifa chuckled and whispered to Yang Jun:

"This guy from mainland China broke up with his girlfriend. I heard his crush is ignoring him now, and he's been completely distracted these past few days."

Zhou Ruifa spoke with contempt and full of malice towards Li Lianjie, who came from the mainland, clearly engaging in discrimination.

Yang Jun, with a stern face, said to Zhou Ruifa in a very serious tone:
"We're all compatriots, don't gloat!"

Zhou Ruifa is very enthusiastic towards his new colleagues and is kind-hearted, but he has one bad point: he is not friendly to people from mainland China.

Zhou Ruifa was startled, then remembered that his boss was very hospitable to people from the mainland, so he smiled brightly.

"I misspoke, I'm sorry!"

Zhou Ruifa slapped his own mouth, making an exaggerated expression.

Li Lianjie finally noticed Yang Jun approaching and quickly bowed and greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Yang!"

Yang Jun walked over, patted Li Lianjie on the shoulder, and said to him:
"Ah Jie, when a woman is throwing a tantrum, just be romantic and go over to her house to coax her."

Upon hearing this, Li Lianjie's eyes lit up, and he looked up at Yang Jun, saying:

“Mr. Yang, I know what to do! I will persevere. I will go buy flowers after get off work.”

What a mess! Yang Jun's lips twitched, and he felt apologetic to Li Lianjie for a second.

After being persuaded by Yang Jun, Li Lianjie went further and further down the path of being a sycophant.

"Mr. Yang, let me introduce you to a new friend. This is Fourth Brother, my senior!"

Zhou Ruifa brought in an actor in his forties, dressed very coolly, wearing sunglasses, a single ponytail, and a suit with a cool expression.

Old Xie? When Yang Jun saw Xie Xian, he thought of his son and daughter-in-law—the future of the entertainment industry!
"Fourth Brother, I've heard so much about you!"

Upon seeing Yang Jun, Xie Xian lost all his composure and immediately bowed, extending his hand and smiling obsequiously as he said:

"Mr. Yang, no, you're too kind! Just call me Lao Xie, I really don't deserve to be called Fourth Brother."

Xie Xian's ability to act tough in front of the other actors mainly relied on the support of his sworn brother, Sha Mengdeng. Now that Sha Mengdeng has been completely stunned by Yang Jun, how could he dare to act like a big shot in front of Yang Jun!

"Mr. Yang, I'll be relying on you for everything from now on, please take good care of me!"

Xie Xian joined Giant Cinema mainly because he was heavily in debt from gambling, and even his beautiful wife divorced him.

Yang Jun chuckled to himself, thinking, "He was a gambling addict. He probably only managed to pay off his debts thanks to his son, who was a chef."

"Okay, do your job well, and we'll get your son into our company in the future!"

Ah! Xie Xian was startled, unsure whether Yang Jun was serious or joking!

Yang Jun didn't say much, and went into the company's conference room to discuss the next release plan for "Black Sun 731".

The meeting was chaired by Liu Xing, the general manager of the film company. In addition to director Niu Dunfei, attendees included He Xinqiong from Giant Media Group and several senior executives from the distribution company.

"Taiwanese authorities are preventing the film from being shown, citing sensitive subject matter. We've sent people to communicate with them several times, but to no avail!"

He Xinqiong sat to Yang Jun's right. Although she was the youngest, no one dared to underestimate her; she was the real boss's wife.

Niu Dunfei snorted coldly and said angrily:

"There are too many Japanese devils in Taiwan, that's why they reacted so strongly, damn it!"

Unable to be screened in Taiwan, after hours of discussion yielding no results, Yang Jun slammed his hand on the table and said:

"Alright, let's put the Taiwan screening on hold for now, and we can choose to screen it in Tokyo first."

What? It's going to be shown in Tokyo?
Everyone was shocked. This movie was going to Tokyo? Was the boss okay?
Niu Dunfei was also stunned. He never dared to dream that he would take this movie to Tokyo for a screening. Wouldn't the Japanese smash his head in?

"Boss, will this work?"

Liu Xing's face twitched, and he asked Yang Jun.

"Where there's a will, there's a way; even island nations have good comrades!"

Yang Jun said casually, "Let's give it a try, what if it works?"

Actually, there are also some anti-war people in island nations. You can talk to them; the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
"I will send someone to the island nation to discuss the film's release!"

"The meeting is dismissed!"

After the meeting, Yang Jun and He Xinqiong walked out of Giant Film Company together, with He Xinqiong holding Yang Jun's arm.

"Jun-ge, are you going to America tomorrow?"

"Yes, we need to negotiate the acquisition of a comic book company. I'll leave things in Hong Kong to you."

Yang Jun put his arm around He Xinqiong's slender waist, and the two looked at each other with a sweet gaze that made others envious!
"Ugh~ Ugh~" He Xinqiong suddenly squatted down next to the car and tried to vomit, but nothing came out.

"what happened?"

Yang Jun helped He Xinqiong up and said with concern.

He Xinqiong shook her head, her face looking a little pale, and took out a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth.

"I don't know, it's been like this since yesterday!"

Ruan Mei, who was standing to the side, suddenly brightened up and whispered to Yang Jun:
"Miss He isn't pregnant, is she?"

Pregnancy? Yang Jun was shocked, his expression complex, and he said to He Xinqiong:

"Let's go to the hospital for a check-up. Don't go to work this afternoon."

He Xinqiong is a workaholic. She goes to get off work and leaves on time every day, clocking in and out just like the other employees, and never asks for special treatment.

For more than a year, He Xinqiong has not taken a single day off, working diligently like a model worker.

"Okay! I'll listen to you~"

Hearing Yang Jun's concern, He Xinqiong's face lit up with joy, and the two rode in Yang Jun's bulletproof car to the Sanatorium & Hospital.

The Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital is owned by Yang Jun. They had been notified in advance, and the head of the emergency department was personally at the entrance, where a stretcher was prepared. A dozen or so female nurses looked solemn, but when they saw Yang Jun's car parked at the entrance, they rushed over excitedly.

"They've arrived, Mr. Yang and his wife!"

The nurses had been notified long ago that the hospital owner's wife would be coming to see the patient, and that they were to receive her with the highest level of hospitality.

The head nurse personally escorted He Xinqiong to her ultrasound examination, with all the lights on her way. Yang Jun sat on the sofa outside, with a cup of coffee in front of him.

The hospital director chatted with Yang Jun casually, discussing the hospital's operations. He noted that private hospitals are definitely profitable, with annual profits exceeding 3 million, and that the hospital's medical standards should be among the best in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Yang, our hospital plans to purchase a batch of advanced medical equipment, which is expected to cost more than 1 million yuan."

Yang Jun nodded and said to the dean:
"Spend it where you should! Don't skimp on the money for purchasing medical equipment, as long as the finances are transparent!"

The dean was startled and embarrassed; the boss was subtly addressing him.

The medical field is rife with illicit activities; medical equipment and imported drugs are very expensive, making it easy to tamper with them.

Human greed is never satisfied.

"Yes, yes, the finances will definitely be open and transparent, boss, please rest assured!"

The dean's forehead was still covered in cold sweat; how could I feel at ease? Yang Jun smiled.

Five minutes later, He Xinqiong came over, accompanied by her attending female doctor who was smiling apologetically.

Upon seeing Yang Jun, Dr. Chen excitedly came forward to shake hands and said:

"Congratulations, Mr. Yang. Your wife is over a month pregnant, and the baby is very healthy."

Dr. Chen is an obstetrician in her thirties. Although she has met many wealthy people, this is the first time she has met her own boss, who is her direct superior.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Chen~"

Yang Jun smiled and shook hands with Dr. Chen, then excitedly said to He Xinqiong:

"Honey, we're going to be dads and moms soon!"

He Xinqiong was a little uneasy at first, but with Yang Jun's encouragement, her anxiety immediately disappeared.

"Yes! I'm going to be a mommy!"

He Xinqiong herself is only 23 years old and is still a little apprehensive about having a child, but she feels much more relaxed after being influenced by Yang Jun's emotions.

"You're not allowed to make me angry anymore, I'm two people now!"

Yang Jun nodded repeatedly, of course. Nothing is more important than his pregnant wife!
Looks like I should go out less often in the future, and even if I do go out, I have to be extra careful!
Yang Jun touched He Xinqiong's belly, and it seemed like there was movement inside. He smiled and said:

"It looks like he's moving?"

He Xinqiong gave Yang Jun a reproachful look and said:

"It's so small, it's still an embryo, how could it possibly move?"

The two returned to the Victoria Peak villa by car. Yang Jun immediately decided on behalf of He Xinqiong to suspend all her positions in the company, retaining only her position as a director of the Giant Empire Group, and to rest at home to take care of her pregnancy. They also hired a professional nanny team.

The nanny team consists of five people: one specializes in preparing nutritious meals, another is responsible for measuring body indicators daily, and the third provides exercise guidance.

Yang Jun was overjoyed for several days after He Xinqiong became pregnant, as he was now expecting a son to carry on the family line.

Having built such a large business, I finally have someone to inherit it. I feel a sense of sublimation and a great deal of relief.

Reassured, Yang Jun boarded his private jet bound for Los Angeles, USA.

This time, as soon as Yang Jun arrived in the United States on his private jet, many people came to pick him up at the airport.

Dozens of men in black, dressed in suits and ties, stood at the entrance of the waiting room, attracting the attention of many foreigners.

"Oh my god~ Who are these people? Are they Chinese mafia or South Korean chaebols? They're so imposing!"

"They're all Asian, they look more like mafia members, so cool!"

“I know them. They’ve been in Chinatown. They’re a newly emerged organization and Sheng Tang.”

Ah Ji was still dressed in white shirt and pants, with a tuft of yellow hair on his head. He stood out in front of a group of burly men in black. Next to him stood another man, wearing a trench coat and picking his nose. It was Brother Da Fei.

When Dafei saw Yang Jun walk in with his men, he immediately went up to hug him and said with a smile:

"Jun-ge, transferring me to Los Angeles was such a wise decision!"

"Damn! The foreign girls here are so enthusiastic, I can't sleep at night."

Yang Jun noticed that Dafei had lost a lot of weight and knew that the guy had been having a lot of fun with foreign women in Los Angeles and had been completely drained!

"Go to hell! I told you to fight, not to sleep with foreign girls."

Yang Jun punched Da Fei in the shoulder. Da Fei took the punch, but instead grinned and came closer.

"Brother Jun, give me some face in front of these men~"

"I'm a big shot in Los Angeles now, I should at least have some self-respect~"

Yang Jun ignored Dafei and turned to look at Aji. Aji was the martial arts expert of Los Angeles and Shengtang, and he and Dafei were one scholar and the other a warrior.

Dafei excels at socializing, while Aji is responsible for providing physical force.

"Ah-Ji, are you settling in well here?"

Aji nodded, hugged Yang Jun, and said to Yang Jun:
"good!"

As a conversation killer, Yang Jun knew Aji's personality well: ruthless, taciturn, and incapable of flattery.

Dafei leaned closer and put his arm around Yang Jun, saying:

"Let's go, let's go to our own restaurant for a welcome dinner for our big boss!"

Yang Jun also wanted to see how Hesheng Branch was doing in Los Angeles, so he didn't refuse and went to the San Gabriel Chinatown, which is a larger Chinese community than Chinatown.
