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

Chapter 264, Section 263: Lacking martial ethics, calling the police when you can't win?

In the players' locker room, most of the players stared in disbelief at Jiang Donghao's screams. Two burly men grabbed Jiang Donghao's hands and held him down so he couldn't move. Da Dong, holding a baseball bat, struck Jiang Donghao's shin joint hard.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

One blow, two blows, three blows—each one was delivered with ruthless force.

Da Dong's face was cold and stern as he ruthlessly swung the baseball bat in his hand, bending and deforming Jiang Donghao's leg.

The players around him, who came from various clubs, looked coldly at him and muttered under their breath, "Serves him right!"
Traitor, you betrayed your boss, you deserve to die!

However, some ordinary players were terrified, and some were so frightened that their legs went weak. They were very wary of the new owner's ruthlessness.

"From now on, anyone who dares to fix a match will suffer the consequences!"

Yang Jun sat in the lounge chair, coldly observing the players' reactions, taking in each of their expressions.

Seeing the fear on the players' faces, he nodded in satisfaction and flicked the cigar ash into the ashtray.

"The compensation I offer you is the highest in the industry, with a monthly salary of over 2 yuan and a winning bonus of 10 to 20 yuan for each game."

"Which team owner gets better treatment than us? What have I done to wrong you?"

"Anyone who doesn't play football properly, get out of here!"

"I don't support idlers, much less useless people! Your abilities should be worthy of high salaries!"

Yang Jun sat in his chair, his voice commanding respect without anger, instilling fear in every player.

Coach Zhou Sheng quickly chimed in, angrily berating the players:
"How can we have a conscience if our boss treats us like this and we still fix matches?"

"From now on, if anyone is found to have fixed a match, Jiang Donghao will suffer the same fate!"

"Mr. Yang, is there anything else you need?"

Yang Jun waved his hand and led Da Dong and the others out of the players' locker room. The punishment for Jiang Donghao was to make an example of him within the team and to kick out the bad habit of match-fixing.

The team's poor performance is mainly due to match-fixing!
If someone in the team throws a match, everyone else will be affected and start to tank for their salary!

Yang Jun's money doesn't grow on trees. Anyone who doesn't work hard and tries to fool him into thinking they can just freeload will be taught a lesson by Yang Jun!
Sure enough, under Yang Jun's ruthless methods, they maintained a perfect record in the next few games.

The Dazhong Football Team gives their all in every match, after all, there's a 10 yuan bonus for every win. If someone doesn't train hard or play poorly, they could be in serious trouble.

Jiang Donghao's situation energized all the players, making them train even harder, and the high-paid foreign coaches also played a role!

Taipingshan Villa.

Yang Jun was watching the WWA fighting tournament on TV. Two fighters were having a passionate duel in the octagon. Both of them were bruised and battered. The Muay Thai fighter knocked out his opponent with a knee strike.

"This contestant named A Meng is pretty good. A Bin, I think we should give him a red pole title!"

"Which gang's underling is he?"

Seeing A Meng's agility, Yang Jun knocked out He Yong in a few moves and won the lightweight gold belt championship.

Both of them practiced Muay Thai, and every move they made was deadly, but Ah Meng was still a cut above the rest.

"Boss, he's Nine-Dragon's leader, nicknamed 'Fierce Ghost'."

Han Bin was envious. He wanted his subordinates to make a name for themselves in the WWA Fighting Tournament, which was currently incredibly popular in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia.

"Situ, you've really struck it rich this time. There must have been millions of bets on just one match."

"I can tell from your expression that you're so happy even though your best horse, He Yong, lost the race!"

Han Bin was very envious. Situ Haonan managed the peripheral betting business of the WWA fighting tournament, earning millions every month without any pressure.

WWA fighting tournaments are more exciting and bloody than boxing. Except for not being allowed to hit the groin or the back of the head, there are no restrictions, so it can be called unrestricted fighting.

"Haha! Thanks to Mr. Yang for giving me this path to wealth, boss! This is a gift I gave to you privately."

Situ Haonan took out a pure gold dragon, put it in a gift box, and presented it to Yang Jun with a smile, as if to give a gift in advance.

Yang Jun did not refuse and said with a smile:

"Situ, you're so thoughtful~"

Han Bin rolled his eyes at Situ Haonan when he saw this. "You sycophant, you've been beaten to it again!"
Yang Jun, with his legs crossed, said to Situ Haonan:
"To make the show truly explosive, it needs to be international. We need to sign a dozen or so top international competitors, letting Chinese people compete against Westerners. That's how the competition will be exciting and generate enough buzz!"

Situ Haonan's eyes lit up. That's right! It would be so exciting to see Chinese people fighting against foreigners!

"Brother Jun, you're amazing! No wonder you can make so much money!"

Yang Jun waved his hand, he was immune to the flattery of his subordinates.

"Stop with that nonsense. Focus on running the fighting tournament well, build up our reputation, and then we'll go make money off those foreigners!"

"Oh, and we also need to recruit some female contestants, and have them compete on stage wearing bikinis!"

Han Bin and Situ Haonan both gave a thumbs up, "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
Yang Jun truly lives up to his reputation as a top-notch producer and film company owner; he understands the psychology of those lecherous men all too well.

After seeing Han Bin and Situ Haonan off, Yang Jun leaned back on the sofa, the system panel appearing in his mind.

"Subordinate Lu Zhilian's loyalty has reached 90, meeting the reward criteria. He will be rewarded with two Perry-class frigates."

Wow, the system is amazing! It directly rewarded me with two warships, and they're even active-duty main frigates of the United States.

武器参数是1座MK-75 76mm舰炮；1座MK-13单臂发射器（可发射标准1防空导弹及鱼叉反舰导弹），1门MK-38 25mm近防机炮；2座三联装324mm MK-32鱼雷发射器； 2架SH-2F反潜直升机.
With advanced electronic performance and advanced anti-submarine warfare capabilities, it is among the best in the current frigates.

Unfortunately, there were only two, which were just enough to be deployed near Giant Island to protect this overseas base.

Yang Jun was overjoyed, finally having some ability to protect himself. His hard work in rescuing people at the Meicai Competition had paid off, as Lu Zhilian had obtained valuable equipment.

Rende, Tainan.

Niu Dunfei appeared on the street, publicly promoting his movie in Tainan.

"Fellow countrymen, I am director Niu Dunfei, and I bring you a great film."

Niu Dunfei was originally a director in Taiwan. He was a mainlander who came to Taiwan in 49 and had a certain fan base in Tainan.

So they decided to promote the new movie. If the promotion was successful, it would definitely attract the attention of the cultural bureau, which would then reconsider the approval process for the movie's release.

Niu Dunfei displayed many photos on stage, which evoked empathy from some older citizens who had lived through the Japanese occupation era and could empathize with the bad things done by the islanders.

Yong Sang, watching Niu Dunfei's energetic promotion from below the stage, was unimpressed and said to his subordinate Qingfeng:

"Spreading rumors and misleading the public, Qingfeng, drive them out!"

Yong-sang is a gang leader in Dingzhuang. As you can tell from his name, he is influenced by island culture and has a great fondness for islanders!

"yes, Sir!"

Qingfeng led a dozen or so henchmen to drive Niu Dunfei away, pushing him to the ground, and said to Niu Dunfei;
"Damn it! Did you come here to promote your movie, or did you pay your respects to the authorities?"

Niu Dunfei was pushed to the ground, and when his staff went to reason with him, they were also beaten by these local thugs.

"Brother, listen to me,"

"Who's your brother? Beat him up! You're from out of town, get out of Taiwan!"

Qingfeng, speaking in a thick Minnan accent, kicked Niu Dunfei in the chest, knocking him unable to get up.

Fortunately, someone secretly called the police, and Niu Dunfei was sent to the hospital. He had two broken ribs and could only recuperate in the hospital for a week!
When Yong Sang saw that Niu Dunfei was injured, he just laughed contemptuously and then returned to the Mazu Temple on his territory.

The two islanders were inside when they saw Yu-san bring his group in. They greeted them with smiles. "Haha, Yu-san, I see your sincerity!"

"Our Mitsui Group is willing to invest in your Dingzhuang redevelopment plan. We look forward to a pleasant cooperation!"

The two Japanese nationals are from the Mitsui Group. They came to Tainan to develop real estate. However, to do business in Tainan, in addition to dealing with the government, they also need to control the local gangs. They are the real local bullies in Tainan.

Wearing wooden clogs, Yong-san was very polite to the two islanders and instructed his men to prepare wine and food.

"Kimura, if your Mitsui Group wants to acquire land in Dingzhuang, you need my approval."

"It's not unreasonable for us, the top dealer, to want 5% of the shares, is it?"

Yong-san's shrewd eyes revealed his intelligence as he bargained with Kimura.

Kimura shook his head, drank a glass of wine, and said with a smile:

"No, we invested all the funds. You don't need to contribute a single penny. Trying to occupy five floors is too high. The company won't agree to that."

Hong Kong, Giant Cinema.

"Boss, Director Niu Dunfei was beaten in Tainan. He broke two ribs and is currently in a hospital in Tainan."

As soon as General Manager Liu Xing arrived at the company in the morning, he called Yang Jun to report.

When Yang Jun heard that Niu Dunfei had been beaten in Tainan, he also had a headache, since his influence couldn't reach Tainan.

Niu Dunfei had already joined Giant Films before. The director was beaten up in Taiwan, and Niu Dunfei, as the boss, lost face.

Yang Jun then dialed Li Jie's number. Li Jie (from the movie High Risk) was currently working at a security company, helping to train bomb disposal techniques.

"Ah Jie, take some brothers to Taiwan to handle some business and protect a film company director."

Upon hearing that it was about protecting someone, which was something he excelled at, Li Jie smiled and said:

"Okay, boss!"

After obtaining his passport, Li Jie, accompanied by ten security guards, flew to Tainan on Cathay Pacific and found the hospital where Niu Dunfei was located.

Niu Dunfei was staying in a VIP ward, his body wrapped in bandages, looking pitiful.

"Director Niu, we've already called the police, but those thugs came to threaten us again this morning."

"The police and gangsters in Tainan are in cahoots and can't be trusted at all."

The assistant director, Cai Hesheng, is a young man. Because he is physically strong and can withstand a lot of beatings, he has already recovered almost completely.

This morning, a group of thugs came again to threaten them, telling them to get out of Tainan. They were very arrogant.

Niu Dunfei looked helpless. He had long known that the gangsters were powerful and had close ties with the local police. This was the current situation in Taiwan. The movie "Black Gold" depicted just how dark the gangsters were in Taiwan.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Li Jie appeared in the ward with a group of burly men in suits and ties, startling Niu Dunfei and his companion into screaming.

"Who are you? This is a hospital, don't cause any trouble!"

Cai Hesheng picked up a broom, but even holding it in his hand didn't make him feel very safe. Seeing that the other party was tall and had a lot of men, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing the scene inside, Li Jie smiled and explained:
"Director Niu, we were sent by Mr. Yang to protect you as your bodyguards!"

Ah! Niu Dunfei and his companion widened their eyes, then revealed a hint of surprise.

I have bodyguards now. Mr. Yang arranged bodyguards for himself, so I feel at ease now.

Niu Dunfei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ten security guards at the door. He had long heard that Mr. Yang had great influence in Hong Kong and was a righteous man!

"Thank you for your help!"

The next day, a dozen or so thugs came to the hospital to cause trouble again. Qingfeng saw that there were ten more people in the hospital and sneered:

"Damn! People from Hong Kong have arrived?"

"Beat them! Damn it, they're asking for it!"

Qingfeng is the top henchman of Dingzhuang Gangtou. If he wants to make a name for himself in the underworld, he needs to drive these Hong Kong people out of Tainan.

The triads are extremely xenophobic and have long been dissatisfied with the intrusion of Hong Kong gangs into Taipei.

Qingfeng, chewing betel nut, led a dozen or so henchmen forward, waving baseball bats and samurai swords.

Li Jie's eyes were sharp. He seized the opportunity and kicked Qingfeng's samurai sword away with his right foot.

"Protect Director Niu! I'll take care of them!"

Li Jie kicked the samurai sword out of Qing Feng's hand, and instead of retreating, he advanced and chopped Qing Feng's neck with a hand chop.

"Damn it! Get them!"

Qingfeng clutched his neck, his face flushed and he was panting heavily when he collapsed to the ground in a very disheveled state!
The remaining henchmen tried to rush forward, but the hospital corridor was very narrow. Li Jie used the wall as a springboard to kick two of the top henchmen, sending them flying two meters away and knocking down three or four people behind them. The whole group fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of his illness, Li Jie charged into the flock like a wolf, quickly defeating all the thugs.

Niu Dunfei was dumbfounded. Holy crap! This short, skinny guy is such a fighter?
He single-handedly took down more than a dozen thugs; he definitely has kung fu skills—Chinese kung fu, perhaps?
Li Jie stepped on Qingfeng's face and said coldly:

"Why don't you get out yet?"

Qingfeng, clutching his wound, said with a grim expression:

"You're something else, fuck your mother, don't you dare leave!"

After watching Qingfeng and the others leave, Li Jie quickly helped Niu Dunfei complete the discharge procedures. The idiot was still not leaving.

Although Li Jie was very skilled, he couldn't handle opponents with guns. It was more important to bring Niu Dunfei back to Hong Kong and complete the mission.

Just as the group reached the hospital entrance, two police cars pulled up and stopped in front of the hospital.

"You can't leave. According to a report, you are suspected of fighting. Please come with us to the police station to assist with the investigation!"

Seven or eight uniformed police officers got out of a police car and blocked Niu Dunfei and his group's way, speaking very rudely.

Li Jie stepped forward, took out a business card, and said to the leading officer:

“We are from a security company. We were protecting our employer, not fighting.”

The lead officer glanced at it and sneered:
"Security companies from Hong Kong don't work in Tainan. Come back to the police station with me right now!"

Upon seeing this, assistant director Cai Hesheng immediately understood the situation and snapped at the police:

"Why didn't you come earlier or later? You only came out after the thugs left. Are you in cahoots with them?"

They have no sportsmanship; if they can't beat someone, they call the police!

Cai Hesheng was right; these policemen were indeed called by the gang leader of Dingzhuang. The lead policeman grabbed assistant director Cai Hesheng by the neck.

"You out-of-towner, you dare to mess with me? Believe me or not, I'll make you pay!"

"Take them all back, damn it—a bunch of out-of-towners!"

The ten security guards looked at Li Jie, who shook his head at them and then surrendered without resistance!
