Chapter 270, Page 269: Hao Ge Wants to Kidnap Yang Jun? Completely Terrified!

Over the next few days, Yang Jun spent most of his time in the hospital, handling documents such as the child's household registration and birth certificate. He delegated these errands to his subordinates, while Yang Jun stayed in the VIP ward with He Xinqiong, who was in postpartum confinement.

Three nannies took turns caring for the child. Because He Xinqiong's breast milk was insufficient, a wet nurse was also hired to ensure the child's nutrition.

"Brother Jun, we haven't decided on a name yet, can you come up with one?"

He Xinqiong read many books on naming, but still decided to hand over the naming rights to her husband, Yang Jun. After all, naming is too brain-intensive, so she simply became a hands-off husband.

Yang Jun's original name was Yang Shoujun, and he belonged to the "Shou" generation in his family. However, Yang Jun later felt that the meaning of "Shoujun" was not good, so he changed his name to the single character "Jun".

According to the generational ranking, the generation below the "Shou" generation is the "Wen" generation. Yang Jun thought for a moment and casually came up with a name.

"Let's name him Yang Wenxing. It means the family will prosper, and it has a good meaning!"

Every era has some common names. For example, in Yang Jun's time, a large majority of people were named Baoguo or Qingjun, which reflected the characteristics of the era.

Yang Wenxing

He Xinqiong repeated the name twice and thought it sounded quite good, so she agreed to it.

"Okay, that's the name!"

Next, it's time to register the child's household registration. Yang Jun doesn't need to do these errands himself; his subordinates will handle them.

After staying in the hospital for about seven days, He Xinqiong went to the Taipingshan Villa to continue her postpartum confinement. There were seven or eight nannies at the Taipingshan Villa, some to take care of the baby and some to take care of He Xinqiong.

Yang Jun stayed at home for a few days, but he also had things to do at the company, so he went to work at the company.

Giant Empire Group.

Yang Jun was sitting at his huge desk processing documents when Huo Baoning walked in and reported to him on recent major events in the company.

Huo Baoning only reports progress to Yang Jun on some major matters; for less important matters, Huo Baoning and other senior executives can sign off on them.

"Mr. Yang, the satellite TV license has been issued, and our group and Cheung Kong Holdings will jointly hold 50% of the shares."

There are only two satellite TV licenses in Hong Kong. Giant Group and Cheung Kong Holdings jointly secured one of them. Now that they have it, they need to discuss the subsequent operation.

A satellite TV signal can cover the entire East Asian region, which is much wider than the coverage of a traditional TV station.

"Mr. Li from Cheung Kong Holdings would like to invite you for tea this afternoon!"

Secretary Ruan Mei checked today's appointments and then reported them to Yang Jun.

"Okay, tell them to meet at the company's meeting room at 1 p.m.

Even if Li Ka-shing didn't approach him, he would still need to discuss the ownership of the satellite TV with him, as the company could only have one person in charge.

Yang Jun was determined to get satellite television!

Ruan Mei handed over the documents that had been piling up for several days to Yang Jun to handle. Some important company decisions required Yang Jun's signature before the finance department could release funds.

Generally, if the amount involved is over 500 million, it requires the signature and approval of Chairman Yang Jun.

One o'clock, the company's meeting room.

The top floor of the Giant Empire Building has been decorated like a coffee shop, which is where Yang Jun discusses business with VIPs.

"Jun, the environment here is nice~"

Li Jiacheng entered the reception room with his son Li Ze and sat opposite Yang Jun.

Ruan Mei went to pour tea and coffee for the three of them. Li Jiacheng was older and liked to drink tea to cultivate his mind and body.

Li Ze had just returned from Canada and liked to drink coffee. The young talent looked at Yang Jun curiously; the two were not much different in age.

"Old Li, this must be the second young master. He is indeed a handsome and talented man!"

Yang Jun looked at Li Ze. This second young master was not a spoiled brat, but a rising star in the business world, whose abilities were not much worse than Li Jiacheng's.

To be honest, Li Ka-shing's education has been very successful. Both of his sons have become outstanding individuals, which is obviously better than other wealthy families!
"Haha, when it comes to young talents, who in all of Hong Kong can compare to you?"

"Aze, learn from Mr. Yang from now on."

Li Ze nodded and said politely to Yang Jun;
"Mr. Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you. I look forward to working with you in the future!"

After the pleasantries were over, the three of them got down to business. Li Jiacheng said:

"Jun, what do you think about getting Ze into satellite TV and making him the general manager?"

"Give him a chance to prove himself. If he doesn't, I'll replace him myself!"

Good grief! They want to seize power right from the start. Both sides are major shareholders; there's no reason for you to have the final say.

Yang Jun decided to lay his cards on the table and said to Li Jiacheng:

"Old Li, I'll be frank, I'm taking this satellite TV. How much do you want in exchange for leaving the company?"

"Name your price. We're friends, we can discuss anything!"

Li Jiacheng and his son exchanged a glance, looking at each other in surprise. They hadn't expected Yang Jun to be so direct.

They originally planned to let Li Ze take control of satellite TV to give him some experience, but unexpectedly Yang Jun wanted to monopolize it.

Li Ka-shing remained silent for a moment. He was very interested in satellite television, but only in order to make money.

"Okay, Ah Jun, you're straightforward!"

"How about this, you give me 2 million US dollars, and I'll give up my shares in the satellite TV company!"

Yang Jun frowned; the price was a bit too high. He then smiled and said:

"This price is too high. Go back and think about it again."

Yang Jun didn't mind that the two sides couldn't reach an agreement. Negotiations are a contest of patience; if one attempt fails, there are always more.

Once one side can't hold on any longer and is willing to compromise, the deal is done.

Therefore, Yang Jun did not take the matter to heart. After the two left, Yang Jun pulled Ruan Mei, who was dressed in an OL suit and looked elegant and beautiful, into his arms.

"Oh dear~ This is the company, someone saw us~"

Yang Jun laughed heartily, then released Ruan Mei and said with a smile:

"Let's go to the office!"

These past few days, Yang Jun has been feeling a bit stifled. He Xinqiong is in her postpartum period, and Liang Yongqi is pregnant again. How can JOJO, a woman, deal with Yang Jun, this hungry wolf?

Yang Junzhen was hungry, and when he saw Ruan Mei wearing an office lady suit, he couldn't suppress his anger.

I was furious. Yang Jun returned to his office, locked the door, and had Da Dong stand guard at the entrance.

Two hours later, Yang Jun opened the door looking refreshed. Ruan Mei, who was in charge of cleaning, gave Yang Jun a pitiful glare.

After watching TV for a while, Ahua returned to the office. Upon seeing this, Ruan Mei left the room and closed the door.

Ahua walked over to Yang Jun and sat down in the chair opposite him.

"Brother Jun, I have some news. Wang Dehui, a well-known tycoon in Hong Kong, has been kidnapped. After the kidnappers received the ransom, Wang Dehui disappeared."

"I suspect that Wang Dehui was definitely killed."

Oh. Yang Jun was shocked. Wang Dehui had been killed?
Yang Jun was not surprised. This super-rich man had poor interpersonal relationships and no one paid attention to him in the circle of the wealthy. He had offended many people, so it was normal for him to be killed.

"After this incident, everyone in the wealthy circle is on edge, and our security company has received a lot more orders."

Ahua continued, saying that Wang Dehui was targeted by criminals because he was stingy and unwilling to hire bodyguards.

So, you should spend your money, otherwise someone else will spend it for you!
Yang Jun crossed his legs and said to Ahua:

"Who did this?"

Ahua shook his head and said to Yang Jun:
"I couldn't find anything. The other party is very professional!" Yang Jun sighed. Hong Kong is becoming more and more chaotic, especially for Hong Kong's wealthy people, who are making money while also worrying about danger.

"Send more people to protect my family!"

Previously, He Xinqiong and Liang Yongqi only had two bodyguards with them, but now that is obviously not enough. They need at least eight bodyguards each.

Chungking Mansions, Hong Kong.

Seven or eight people were crammed into a small room, and a shirtless young man was playing cards.

"Brother Hao, have you heard? Wang Dehui has been kidnapped, and the ransom is said to be HK$6000 million."

A younger brother named Ah Xun inadvertently brought up the matter, causing Zhang Shih-hao to stop what he was doing.

"What? How much?"

Zhang Shih-hao put down the cards in his hand and stared blankly at Ah-hsun beside him.

"Sixty million Hong Kong dollars!"

"Holy crap! I painstakingly robbed a truckload of Rolexes and sold them for millions, and you think kidnapping one person would bring in 60 million?"

Zhang Shih-hao felt resentful. Why was kidnapping more profitable than robbery, given the same risks?

That's not fair! I'm not going to rob people anymore, I'll just kidnap the rich!
"Alright, stop playing around! Think about how to make money!"

"I've almost spent all my money, so I'm planning to pull off a kidnapping."

Zhang Shih-hao was serious about making money, and immediately ordered his subordinate He Ji-shu to gather information on wealthy individuals to determine which one to kidnap.

Soon, He Jishu, the team's strategist, returned with a Forbes magazine.

"Brother Hao, this is Forbes magazine. It lists the richest people in Hong Kong. Look, Yang Jun is the richest. He has assets of 130 billion US dollars."

Zhang Shih-hao's underlings' eyes lit up: 130 billion US dollars?
How much? 130 billion US dollars, which is close to 1000 billion Hong Kong dollars.

"Brother Hao, how about we kidnap him? He has the most money!"

Xiao Ma shouted excitedly, "One hundred billion Hong Kong dollars, asking him for more than one billion isn't unreasonable, is it?"

Zhang Shih-hao slapped Xiao Ma on the head and angrily cursed:
"Go to hell! If you want to die, get out of here and don't drag me down with you!"

"Do you know who he is? He has over 10 men under his command. They could drown us with just a spit from each of them."

"Idiot! He's a super big shot at Wo Shing Wo!"

Zhang Shih-hao had also been a member of a triad, but he was an old-timer known as Wo Hop Tu. He had long been familiar with the name Yang Chun.

Even if you gave him a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare kidnap Yang Jun.

"I was wrong, Brother Hao, please stop hitting me!"

Xiao Ma said aggrievedly, "My rank is too low, I don't know a big shot like Yang Jun at all!"

Zhang Shih-hao continued reading the list and found Li Ka-shing, who ranked second with a net worth of US$30 billion. Although he was far behind Yang Jun, he was already one of Hong Kong's top tycoons.

“Okay, this won’t do either! Mr. Li is too conspicuous and could easily be targeted by the police.”

After much deliberation, Zhang Shih-hao pointed to a name and said with a smile:

"It's him, Liu Xiong! He's worth $12 billion. I heard he's very generous with women and often spends a fortune on them."

"If we borrow some money from him, he shouldn't refuse, right?"

"Haha, yeah, we'll borrow money from him!"

Kowloon Tea Restaurant, Hong Kong.

Yang Jun sat at the table inside, drinking Hong Kong-style milk tea, a specialty milk tea from Hong Kong, which tasted pretty good.

"Ah Rong, are you settling in well here?"

Ma Furong brought out a bowl of rice noodles and limped out.

"Mr. Yang, after I became lame, my fellow disciples have been very supportive of my business!"

I'm so happy you came to see me today!

Ma Furong had his leg broken in Taiwan. Yang Jun used his connections to extradite him to Hong Kong, where he was later released on bail. He then opened a tea restaurant, effectively retiring from the underworld.

At first, Ma Furong was afraid that his enemies would seek revenge, but many of his brothers came to support his business, which made him feel safe.

"Arong, you've done a great job for the company, so don't worry about your safety."

"Anyone who lays a hand on you is provoking me, Yang Jun!"

Yang Jun patted Ma Furong on the shoulder and asked him to sit opposite him. The two started chatting.

Ma Furong was deeply moved. He had long heard that Mr. Yang was a very humane person and had no regrets about his initial decision!

"Mr. Yang, if I had another chance, I would still fight for you!"

I have no regrets about doing this for you!

The money Ma Furong used to open the tea restaurant was all given to him by Yang Jun, a total of HK$500 million, as compensation for his leg injury.

Fire Bull and Situ Haonan, who were standing next to Yang Jun, saw this and admired Yang Jun's loyalty and righteousness.

"Fire Ox, Situ, you must remember this!"

"Only if you treat your subordinates with genuine sincerity will they be loyal and work for the company. It's not enough to just worship Guan Yu every day."

The crows of Tung Sing are a prime example of what not to do. They starve their underlings for three days and then blame them for being disloyal!
Is there no loyalty among those who live in this world? If you, as the boss, are corrupt, how can you expect your subordinates to be loyal?
Situ Haonan and Huo Niu nodded in agreement and listened attentively.

Seeing how obedient the two were, Yang Jun gave a bitter smile, realizing the loneliness of being at the top.

The higher your position, the fewer true friends you'll have; most relationships will be based on mutual benefit.

"Fire Bull, how's business?"

Upon hearing this, Fire Bull became very interested and began to talk non-stop:
“Brother Jun, I went to Europe and made contact with many football clubs. They can give us some inside information if necessary.”

With its current financial resources, Fire Bull might find it difficult to control European football teams, but obtaining inside information is a piece of cake.

It's impossible for bookmakers to operate without inside information. Although bookmakers make money from odds, some matches are one-sided, so they need to fix the game to protect their interests.

Insider information?

Yang Jun shrugged and joked with a smile:
"Fire Bull, don't get scammed by these foreigners. How can you guarantee the authenticity of these insider tips?"

"What if they gave us false information? We'd be at a huge loss!"

Yang Jun's words sent a chill down Huo Niu's spine; he hadn't considered the veracity of the insider information before.

Fire Ox broke out in a cold sweat and asked Yang Jun for advice:

"Brother Jun, what do you suggest we do? Without inside information, how can we protect the interests of the bookmakers?"

Yang Jun had already prepared for this, and said to the Fire Bull:

"Have you heard of the handicap system? It's commonly known as the handicap betting system. Macau's Aoyu Company is already offering this betting system. It balances the strength of both sides by giving a handicap and adjusts the odds to ensure the bookmaker wins."

"Match-fixing? It's unavoidable," Yang Jun said with a smile.

"I am also a major shareholder of the Macau gaming and entertainment company. We will go to Europe this month to buy a football team and take control!"

"You'll come along too!"
