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

Chapter 262, Section 261: Recruiting soldiers and horses to grow bigger and stronger!
Zhao Meng owns several villas in Meisai. Yang Jun's men dug deep into these villas and found gold worth 5 million US dollars, as well as some US dollars. They couldn't find any more assets.

"Boss, according to Zhao Meng's confession, Zhao Meng transferred some of his assets to a Swiss bank overseas, leaving only a portion in Meisai Town, which is now all here."

Yang Yifei produced a list of Zhao Meng's confiscated assets, including eight villas around the world, more than ten luxury cars, and gold and US dollar cash worth more than 50 million. That was all.

Damn! That's a bit too little!

After reading it, Yang Jun understood that Zhao Meng had transferred his assets overseas and that his wife and children were living in England.

"Boss, should we go find Zhao Meng's wife and children and get the assets back?"

Yang Yifei's eyes turned cold, and he suggested that they go to Zhao Meng's wife and children overseas and get the money back, which was all the hard-earned money that Zhao Meng had taken from the people.

"Okay! Just be careful not to kill anyone!"

"Understood, I'll send someone to take care of it right away."

Zhao Meng's wife and children enjoyed the illegal gains, so they had to bear the consequences. Yang Jun sparing their lives was already considered merciful.

Yang Yifei did not leave the room, but instead said to Yang Jun:
"General, no, sir, there's one more thing!"

Yang Jun forbade Yang Yifei from calling him "General," so Yang Yifei started calling him "Boss," which Yang Jun found much more agreeable.

“We found dozens of men in a factory in Meisai. They were all pigs kidnapped by Zhao Meng.”

"These men were all young men from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the mainland. According to the adjutant's confession, their ultimate fate was death."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun's gaze turned cold, and he slammed his fist heavily on the coffee table, causing several cracks to appear on it.

"Damn it, Zhao Meng, that scumbag, died far too easily!"

Shooting that bastard to death is too lenient on him; human organ trafficking is the most heinous business.

Yang Jun had long heard that the Dai country was a transit center for organ trafficking in Southeast Asia, but he didn't expect it to be true, and that the victims were all Chinese compatriots.

Zhao Meng and his gang are also Chinese, how could they do such a thing!

"Release them and give them some travel expenses!"

"Fine, let's go all the way and send them to Hong Kong!"

They were wandering around the Golden Triangle and could easily be captured by other warlords, so they just happened to go back to Hong Kong with Lu Zhilian and his men.

Lu Zhilian killed someone in Dai State, and since he couldn't return to China through normal channels, he had to smuggle himself back.

Yang Jun drove his Jeep around Mae Sai. Mae Sai isn't big, but its location is very important.

Mae Sai is located on the border of the Dai Kingdom, at the entrance to the Golden Triangle, separated from Tachileik of Myanmar by the Mae Sai River, which in turn joins the famous Mekong River. This geographical location is absolutely amazing.

"Ah Fei, this is Tachileik in northern Myanmar, where there are at least dozens of warlords!"

Sitting in the jeep, Yang Jun pointed to the opposite bank of the river and said to Yang Yifei with a smile, "This is a strategically important place that military strategists must contend for."

Yang Yifei saw Tachileik on the opposite bank, nodded and smiled:
"Boss, why don't we start our rebellion in Mae Sai, march all the way to northern Myanmar, and unify the entire Golden Triangle!"

Yang Jun laughed heartily and slapped Yang Yifei on the back of the head.

"Damn it, we only have a thousand soldiers, and you dare to unify the Golden Triangle? You're out of your mind!"

"Defend Meisai Town well, and first recruit soldiers to expand our strength."

A thousand men is indeed not enough in the Golden Triangle. Khun Sa had raised six divisions, but they were all defeated by the Myanmar and Tai governments and were forced to hide in the mountains, too afraid to come out.

My skills are too weak, so I have to play it safe and develop my strength!
Yang Yifei's eyes lit up. Recruiting soldiers and buying horses? His cousin meant that he planned to infiltrate the Golden Triangle in the future and become a meritorious vassal king.

"Boss, how many people are we planning to hire this time?"

After the town of Mae Sai was established, the territory expanded considerably, and they no longer had to hide in the ravines where there wasn't even a place to breathe.

“We need to recruit another 2,000 people. We can recruit a group of locals, but the core officers must be Chinese.”

In short, loyalty is more important than ability!

Yang Jun could discern the loyalty of officers, which ensured the purity of the army. Any promotion of mid-level officers required Yang Jun's personal evaluation.

The only metric we consider is loyalty!
Yang Jun plans to recruit another 2,000 people, bringing the total force to 3,000, which is a considerable force in the Golden Triangle. He will give priority to recruiting retired Chinese soldiers.

"Yes, General!"

Yang Yifei was very excited and saluted Yang Jun again.

With the troop strength increased by two thousand, from one regiment to three regiments, I guess my rank can be promoted another level?

Yang Jun was speechless, and laughed as he cursed:
"You little rascal, you're just a power-hungry geek!"

Fortunately, Yang Jun could see the loyalty rating; Yang Yifei's loyalty was 90, meaning he wouldn't betray him, so he could use him with peace of mind.

However, once the number of people reached three thousand, Yang Yifei couldn't manage them all and had to send Tian Yangyi over to help!
"By the way, Fei, we need to explain the situation in Mae Sai to the Dai military properly!"

"Zhao Meng kidnapped tourists, which is a serious crime. We were acting in self-defense!"

Yang Jun took out ten million US dollars from the assets seized by Zhao Meng, intending to have Yang Yifei go to Bangkok to smooth things over.

After all, Zhao Meng was part of the Dai army, while Yang Jun's troops were an unorganized, ragtag force. This matter could be big or small, depending on whether Yang Jun could use money to win over the Dai military leaders.

Even if the Tai army turns against us, it doesn't matter. If we can't win, we can retreat to Tachileik in Myanmar, where we can roam freely in the mountains!

Occupying Mae Sai Town is like having a treasure trove – a place you can attack or defend at will.
At worst, they could go back to the mountains and fight as guerrillas; this was an old skill for the Chinese.

Yang Jun stayed in Dai State for three days before taking a private plane back to Hong Kong. No matter how nice Mae Sai is, Hong Kong is Yang Jun's home!

Taipingshan Villa.

Yang Jun stayed home with He Xinqiong for a few days and didn't go out fooling around. He Xinqiong's belly grew bigger every day.

"It's been four months, so you should be able to understand me by now, right?"

Yang Jun leaned close to He Xinqiong's belly and lovingly stroked it.

He Xinqiong rolled her eyes at Yang Jun and said with a laugh:
"The baby is only four months old, how could he possibly understand what I'm saying!"

"That can't be right, isn't there prenatal education? How can you teach someone if they don't understand?"

Yang Jun and He Xinqiong strolled together on the mountain path of Victoria Peak, watching the sunset together, a warm and peaceful moment.

He Xinqiong asked casually:
"I heard you went to the Dai country a few days ago. Is it very dangerous there?"

"I saw on TV that many people have been kidnapped in Dai territory, and it was even broadcast on the news. It's terrifying!"

Asia Television broadcast a special news report on the kidnapping case in Tai State. The main culprit was Zhao Meng, who kidnapped hundreds of Chinese in Mae Sai town. The Chinese security forces acted decisively, winning hearts and minds by going abroad to fight criminals and rescuing hundreds of compatriots in distress.

The news feature also interviewed several people involved, who were the rescued Chinese, and they described the scene on television.

The brutal methods used, such as being beaten with electric batons, being imprisoned in a water dungeon, and having one's fingernails ripped off, were described in vivid detail.

The TV ratings once reached 80%, and the actions of the Chinese security guards touched every Hong Kong resident and gained them a group of fans!
Yang Jun smiled and said to He Xinqiong:

"I'll be very safe in Dai country. I have plenty of bodyguards." Yang Jun didn't tell his family that he had an army in Dai country. The fewer people who knew, the better. When you're not strong enough, you have to keep a low profile!
Ring ring, Yang Jun's mobile phone rang.

Yang Jun walked to the side and answered the phone. The voice on the other end was that of Director Bai.

"Jun, it's been a long time!"

"Director Bai, hello! When will you come to Hong Kong? Let's have some tea and chat!"

Yang Jun was quite familiar with Director Bai, and they spoke to each other rather casually.

"I'm currently in Hong Kong, let's have tea together~"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at the Peninsula Hotel..."

Yang Jun hung up the phone, told his bodyguard to have his wife take him home, and then drove to the Peninsula Hotel.

Inside the Peninsula Hotel, Yang Jun met with Director Bai, and the two exchanged pleasantries.

"Ah Jun, I've heard about what you did in the Dai country. It's truly gratifying!"

"You've really helped us get revenge, Ah Jun. I personally support you."

Yang Jun was delighted upon hearing this; it seemed the person had a thorough understanding of the situation in Southeast Asia.

(PS: I wrote less here, and it got banned again; there are too many restrictions.)
Director Bai was also very excited. He had watched Yang Jun grow stronger step by step, first gaining huge influence in Hong Kong, and then extending his reach into Macau.

After that, Yang Jun expanded his business to Taiwan, with operations spanning Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

Six months ago, they spent a huge sum of money to acquire Columbia Pictures, establishing a foothold in North America and gaining a certain influence among overseas Chinese.

"There's a plot of land in Shenzhen, about 1800 acres, that I can approve for you to build a house in. The location is really good!"

Yang Jun took the document and saw that the location was indeed excellent; in the future Futian District, it would be the core area of ​​urban development.

How much does land cost per acre?

Director Bai smiled and said to Yang Jun:

"The land is free. You're also developing Pengcheng's economy. You just need to go to Pengcheng to complete the formalities."

"We have preferential policies for patriotic businessmen!"

Good heavens! Is this for real? 1800 acres of land given away for free, which will be worth tens of billions in 20 years.

However, although it is not worth much money now, the approval process is very complicated, and its value is relatively high.

Yang Jun realized that his value had increased even further.

"Haha! Thank you, Director Bai. It just so happens that I was planning to develop a large-scale real estate project in Shenzhen, and you've provided the land!"

After the two drank tea for a while, Director Bai brought up the matter of the movie.

"Congratulations! The movie 'Men Behind the Sun' has grossed 60 million yuan in mainland China, which is a pretty good result!"

The film "Men Behind the Sun" was released in mainland China after some cuts, and it received unanimous praise from the mainland film industry, grossing 60 million yuan at the box office.

Movie tickets in those days cost only one or two cents each, which is incomparable to the scale of the film market in later years. 5000 million in box office revenue is considered quite successful, only slightly less successful than a few films such as "Shaolin Temple".

"Thank you for your support, otherwise the movie definitely wouldn't have been able to be released in mainland China."

In those days, Japanese conglomerates also invested in the mainland and had some influence there. If Yang Jun hadn't intervened, the film wouldn't have been able to be released even after being edited.

The next step is to find a way to release the film in Taiwan and other island nations, where we will face the greatest obstacles.

Taiwan's cultural affairs bureau rejected the request to screen "Men Behind the Sun" last month because the film was too controversial and Taiwan is heavily influenced by the island nation.

After talking for an hour, Yang Jun returned to the film company.

Giant Film Company's finance department underwent a major reshuffle, ceasing all previous business operations and formalizing all financial matters.

Yang Jun didn't care how much money could be made from movies, so he stopped, and the fund company's operation was enough.

"Mr. Yang!"

General Manager Liu Xing walked over and greeted Yang Jun respectfully.

"Are you alright, Mr. Liu? I'm so sorry you were frightened!"

Liu Xing was taken in for questioning by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), but it turned out to be a false alarm, as he was released due to insufficient evidence.

"It's nothing, we're just doing our jobs for the company."

Liu Xing had inquired about Yang Jun's background before this incident and learned that Yang Jun came from a triad background. He couldn't help but feel afraid when he saw Yang Jun.

"Damn it~ Why are you sweating so much? Do I look scary?"

Yang Jun was speechless for a moment. Liu Xing was a pretty good person, but he was a bit timid.

"No, it's hot, too hot!"

"If it's hot, turn on the air conditioning. Is Director Niu Dunfei here?"

Yang Jun came to the film company to find director Niu Dunfei, but he didn't see him after looking around.

"Director Niu went to Taiwan to pull some strings."

Liu Xing was the general manager of the film company and was very clear about the movements of directors and actors. After the two talked for a while, Liu Xing called in a middle-aged director and a young girl and introduced them to Yang Jun.

"Boss, let me introduce you. This is director Chen Jiashang. He directed 'Fight Back to School'."

Chen Jiashang was just an ordinary middle-aged man. He was particularly reserved and even a little scared when he met Yang Jun!
"Director Chen, hello, and who is this?"

Yang Jun didn't focus his attention on Chen Jiashang, but instead looked at the pretty girl next to him, Zhu Yin, who was wearing a white T-shirt, shorts, and a baseball cap, radiating youthful energy.

"Boss, she's Zhu Yin, she's on loan from the film academy, she's still a student!"

Liu Xing leaned close to Yang Jun's ear and told him about Zhu Yin's background. She was only borrowed to film "Fight Back to School 2" and had a very pure and innocent appearance.

When Yang Jun saw Zhu Yin, his eyes lit up. Zhu Yin had a pure and innocent look, the kind of face that makes you feel like a first love on campus. She was petite and very eye-catching.

"Ms. Zhu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Zhu Yin was still very nervous when she met the big boss. She kept her head down and would blush shyly whenever she looked up and saw Yang Jun's face.

The boss is so handsome! Handsome and rich! It's a pity he's already married, Zhu Yin thought to herself.
"Hello, Mr. Yang!"

Zhu Yin mustered her courage and smiled at Yang Jun, making Yang Jun's heart flutter.

This little girl is no ordinary person! Yang Jun glanced at Zhu Yin again, then smiled and instructed Chen Jiashang:
"Director Chen, Miss Zhu is young, so please take good care of her. She's a promising talent!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiashang understood that the boss had taken a liking to Zhu Yin, and nodded and smiled in agreement.
