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

Chapter 56. Shaw Yi-fu's outrageous demands!
Yang Jun arrived at the Hong Kong Island Regional Crime Unit and was now very familiar with the place. In less than ten minutes, Yang Jun finished giving his statement and came out.

On the contrary, Tai Tin Yee, who was shot, was taken to the Hong Kong Island Serious Crime Unit for questioning after receiving simple bandaging at the hospital.

When Da Tian Er saw Yang Jun swagger out of the police station, he immediately exploded and angrily asked the police officer who was interrogating him:
"Why did Handsome Jun leave? Did you take bribes from him?"

He's turned against the Heavenly Gang, shooting and injuring people in broad daylight on the street, and the cops aren't arresting him?
It must be a behind-the-scenes deal, collusion between the police and criminals. It's so shady!

Da Tian Er was furious, his mind racing with unfounded accusations! These days, the rich can really do whatever they want.

The two policemen's faces darkened, and they slapped Da Tian Er across the face, cursing him with stern expressions:
"Who do you think you are? You're just a short mule!"

"Whether a crime has been committed or not, is that up to you to decide?"

"To tell you the truth, Jun's men were legally armed, and their attack on you was self-defense."

What? Legal gun ownership?

Da Tian Er, with his pointed head, couldn't understand why there was still a legal way to own guns.
It's illegal for those short mules to carry knives on the street, but people can openly carry guns and get away with it. If someone gets injured, is it considered self-defense?

"As for you, your act of stabbing someone in the street has had a terrible impact, and you are now being formally detained."

Da Tian Er was dumbfounded. Not only was he beaten up, but he also had to be sent to a labor camp.
"I'm the victim! I've been wronged!"

When Chan Ho-nam arrived at the West Kowloon Police Station's Major Crimes Unit, he saw Tai Tin-Yi in handcuffs, and his heart sank.

"Brother Nan, help me out!"

Chan Ho-nam's face darkened. He was already short of money, and now things were even worse; he also had to pay bail.

When Chen Haonan saw Yang Jun walking out of the police station, he quickly chased after him and delivered the money to him.

"Brother Jun, here's 50!"

Yang Jun took the box and handed it directly to Ahua beside him, saying with a smile:

"Chan Ho-nam, you've really made something of yourself! You even dared to have someone chop me up?"

"Originally, accepting this 50 would have been the end of the matter, but not now. Da Tian Er must be punished!"

Yang Jun snorted coldly and left with Ahua, Da Dong, and the others.

Chen Haonan was stunned. He had given 50, but Handsome Jun still wouldn't let him go.
That damned Da Tian Er, he's always causing me trouble!

After Yang Jun got into the car, Luo Tianhong leaned over and asked him:
What about that Tian Tian Er?

Yang Jun said coldly:
"Notify the brothers inside to have Da Tian Er pick up the soap!"

Pick up the soap? Luo Tianhong felt a chill in her crotch and squeezed her legs together.

Ghost tales from the detention center: You can't bend down to pick up the soap while showering at night, or something terrifying will happen.

Da Tian Er attacked someone in the street with a knife, but caused no harm. At most, he will only need to stay in the detention center for a month before he can be released.

However, detention centers are a mixed bag, so it's not unreasonable for a few perverted gay men from Wo Luen Shing to sneak in, right?
Giant Group Headquarters

Yang Jun sat in his huge office, reviewing recent documents.

"Jamie, how's the film company's preparation going?"

Yang Jun had already finished writing the script, but the film company hadn't even gotten it ready yet, which was quite embarrassing.

Jimmy, dressed in an expensive suit, sat on the sofa with a respectful expression.

"Boss, the film company's permits have been issued, and we've also hired a professional manager to oversee it."

"However, film companies need shooting equipment, makeup artists, script supervisors, and other professional equipment on set. It would be best to acquire a film company."

Jimmy's suggestion makes a lot of sense. Setting up a film company from scratch is too complicated and time-consuming. For Hong Kong now, time is money!
Yang Jun nodded and said to Zhanmi:
"Jamie, which film company do you think we should acquire?"

Jimmy hadn't been idle lately; he'd been diligently researching the market and had gained some understanding of the landscape of Hong Kong's film companies. "Boss, there are three main film companies in Hong Kong: New City Films, Golden Harvest, and Shaw Brothers."

"Apart from Shaw Brothers, the other two film companies have had very high box office returns in the past two years and will not sell their companies."

"The most likely candidate is Shaw Brothers. Most of their martial arts films have been losing money in the past two years, and this year they can reduce their production plans to only one or two films. They are already on the verge of bankruptcy."

Oh! Yang Jun's eyes lit up. He knew about Shaw Brothers films after all. It was the film company founded by Shaw Yi-fu, a giant in Hong Kong's film industry.

However, in the competition of the 80s, Shaw Brothers films gradually fell behind, and their box office revenue declined again and again.

What Yang Jun valued most was not the film company, but the Shaw Brothers cinema chain, which was the real goldmine for the film company.

"Jimmy, ask Mr. Shaw if he's willing to sell Shaw Brothers films and Shaw Brothers cinemas? The price can be 10% higher than the market price."

Shaw Brothers cinemas have a total of 14 cinemas in Hong Kong, 9 of which are in Kowloon and 5 on Hong Kong Island.

Jimmy nodded; he also agreed to acquire Shaw Brothers cinemas, as these cinemas were located in the city center, and the land value would rise accordingly.

"Boss, are you betting that real estate prices will rise in the future?"

Of course! Yang Jun knew that due to the impact of negotiations, housing prices in 82 were at their lowest point in the next 20 years.

If you buy now, your investment will appreciate more than fivefold in ten years. Even if you do nothing, you can still make a fortune.

"I believe Hong Kong's economy will continue to improve and become a shining pearl!"

Yang Jun's words made Zhan Mi's eyes light up, and Zhan Mi no longer doubted Yang Jun's judgment.

"Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Shao right away."

Jimmy quickly contacted Shaw Yat-fu, and the two arranged to meet at TVB television station in Sai Kung.

Shaw, leaning on a cane, was a shrewd businessman.

Jimmy directly stated his purpose. Upon hearing that Jimmy was acquiring Shaw Brothers Films and Shaw Cinemas, Shaw Yi-fu smiled and said:

"Are you well-informed? But my price isn't low; most companies can't afford it."

It was the first time Shaw had ever heard of the Giant Group, and he couldn't help but look down on it, thinking that the Giant Group lacked strength.

Jamie wasn't angry at all, and said with a smile:
"Sixth Uncle, name your price and let's see if we can accept it."

Shaw nodded and said calmly:

“If you can offer HK$3 million, I will sell Shaw Brothers films and Shaw Brothers cinemas to you.”

How much? Three hundred million?

Jimmy was also taken aback; he never expected Shaw Brothers to dare offer such a price.
Based on market prices, Shaw Brothers films and Shaw Theatres are valued at no more than 200 million. This is treating Giant Group like a sucker!

Jimmy's heart sank. Giant Group only had 50 million in cash, and even if they took out a loan from the bank, they wouldn't be able to raise 300 million in cash.

This was far from the previous budget; Shaw was asking for an exorbitant amount, which made Jimmy back down.

"Sixth Uncle, your price is far too unconvincing; it's way below the market price."

Shaw chuckled and said to Jimmy:
"Young man, it's a seller's market now. If you can't afford the price, someone else can."

"Go back and discuss this with your boss. I'll give you one week; after that, you won't get any more time!"

Zhanmi was rebuffed, and upon returning, he truthfully told Yang Jun what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun thought, "Three hundred million? Is Shao Yifu trying to frame me as a Japanese?"
"Find out which company is competing with me."
