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

Chapter 60. The Competition with Shaw Brothers Cinemas!
Wu Sheng was probably in his early twenties, wearing an inexpensive suit. He wasn't very tall, but he looked quite clever. He smiled obsequiously at Yang Jun:
"Hello, Brother Jun!"

Yang Jun recognized him at a glance. Wasn't this the guy from Mong Kok Carmen? The guy who had no skills but loved to save face.

Although Wu Sheng is incompetent, he is loyal, and Yang Jun doesn't dislike the character.

"Excellent! Young and promising!"

Yang Jun smiled and praised Wu Sheng, making Wu Sheng feel flattered!
Wu Sheng picked up a slice of watermelon from the car and showed it off to Ahua:
"Cousin, did you hear that? Jun-ge also said I'm not bad, but you always call me useless!"

Ahua looked at the watermelon in Wusheng's hand and scolded:
"Put the watermelon down! You're so disrespectful, even Jun-ge hasn't eaten any!"

Wu Sheng hurriedly put the watermelon down, looking uneasy. He had long heard of Handsome Jun's reputation!
Jun-ge chopped down Hung Hing's Chan Ho-nam, went to Macau and killed Sang-biu, punched Tung Sing's Crow, and kicked Cheung Lok Gang's Fei-hung.

Who in Wan Chai doesn't know him? Even though Wu Sheng lives in Mong Kok, he's heard of Handsome Jun's name.

"Jun-ge, I want to be with you!"

Yang Jun smiled. Another power bank delivered to his doorstep, a good candidate to boost loyalty.

"Okay, you'll work with Ahua from now on."

Yang Jun took out a wad of Hong Kong dollars from his suit jacket, smiled, and handed it to Wu Sheng, saying:
"Here's ten thousand yuan. Take it and buy some decent clothes."

Wu Sheng was shocked. He hadn't done anything yet, and he'd already taken ten thousand yuan from Jun Ge?

"Brother Jun, there's too much, this...this..."

He didn't even dare to take the rope. He used to work for a boss, but they were all very stingy and never gave him 10,000 yuan a year.

"Just take it if Brother Jun tells you to. Once you've taken Brother Jun's money, you have to listen to him from now on."

Ahua stuffed 10,000 yuan into Wusheng's hand, leaving Wusheng speechless for a long time. This big shot is too generous!

"Black Rope: Loyalty +10".

Yang Jun chuckled to himself. This Wu Sheng really hadn't seen much of the world; he got so excited over ten thousand yuan.

Small money, big results!

"Brother Jun, we've arrived at Giant Group."

Ahua quickly got out of the car and ran to the back seat to open the door. Yang Jun then got out of the car, and Da Dong next to him opened a black umbrella to shade Yang Jun from the sun.

Wu Sheng saw Yang Dong walk into the company surrounded by a group of people, and turned to look at his cousin Ahua, who was still bowing.

"Cousin, what exactly do you do for a living?"

Ahua, without turning his head, proudly said:

"Driver!"

Wu Sheng's face darkened, and he said with disdain:

"Driver? Even worse than a lackey?"

Ahua was speechless, then turned his head and said solemnly:

"Are you an idiot?! The driver is much better! He's the boss's closest person."

"Otherwise, how would I have brought you in? You idiot!"

Wu Sheng touched his head, feeling that it made a lot of sense.

"Let's go, you idiot! The boss's gone upstairs~"

After parking the car, Ahua and his cousin Wusheng chased after them.

As a lowly underling, Wu Sheng could barely earn 10,000 yuan a year, making him one of the lowest strata of society. Today, however, he received a 10,000 yuan red envelope and followed Ahua with great enthusiasm.

Following Ahua, Wusheng arrived at the Giant Group and found the boss having a meeting with a group of men and women in suits.

"Cousin, who are those people? Shouldn't we go out and fight them?"

"Shut up!"

In Wu Sheng's mind, being in a gang meant seizing territory and collecting protection money; it was either collecting debts or on the road to killing people. Suits and ties sitting in an office holding meetings? What kind of criminal organization was that?
"Cousin, are we a gang or not?"

Ahua looked helpless. Besides being vain, this Wusheng also had another peculiar trait: he was talkative and long-winded.

"Shut up! We're definitely a triad, and Jun is the leader of the Wan Chai area."

Wu Sheng turned to look at Yang Jun, who was very polite and refined. He believed that Yang Jun was a businessman, but he was also the leader of the Wan Chai district.

Inside the meeting room, Yang Jun looked at Wang Xue, the head of the fund company.

"Manager Wang, how were the returns from my advice to short Xinjian Group last time?"

Xinjian Group is the Xu family's listed company. The Xu family originally made their fortune in shipping, but due to the downturn in the shipping business in the 1980s, the four shipping magnates abandoned the sea and went ashore.

In order to get involved in the real estate business, the Bao family acquired the British-owned trading company Wharf Holdings and began to lay out their real estate business, as well as the port and dock business.

Although the Xu family's wealth was not as great as the Bao family's, it was still very substantial. They frequently acquired land in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and established the Xinjian Group.

Xinjian Group is a listed company, and the news about Mr. Xu that broke yesterday has had some negative impact on Xinjian Group.

"Boss, we shorted Xinjian Group and made a profit of 20 million."

Wang Xue excitedly reported to her boss that a few days ago her boss asked her to short Xinjian Group, but she was still confused because Xinjian Group had not recently been involved in any scandals.

Unexpectedly, such a big piece of gossip spread the very next day, making Giant Fund a fortune.

The stock market is divided into going long and going short. Going long is the usual stock trading, where you buy stocks at a low price and then sell them to make a profit when the price rises, earning a small profit from the price difference.

Besides futures, short selling can also be done by shorting a specific stock. The specific operation involves borrowing stocks from a securities company, and then selling the stocks and returning them to the securities company after the stock price drops.

"Twenty million? Not bad!"

Yang Jun didn't mind earning too little; he made 20 million in just two days, a speed at which the company's executives were astonished!

All the company executives were shocked. Seeing the boss's nonchalant expression, they all looked at each other in bewilderment.

"By the way, Jimmy, did you find out which company is competing with us for Shaw Brothers cinemas?"

Shaw Brothers cinemas had 14 cinemas, all located in the bustling areas of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Even if the cinemas weren't profitable, the land was still very valuable.

Moreover, there are many film companies on Hong Kong Island, and only three cinema chains: Golden Princess Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, and Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

Yang Jun wants to invest in the film industry, so he must acquire cinema chains to take control. Besides, cinema chains have other uses as well.

"Boss, it's Lei Kun, the chairman of Kowloon Motor Bus."

Lei Kun? Yang Jun's eyes lit up; he already knew who it was.

Lei Kun is the owner of Kowloon Motor Bus, a listed company, and also a major shareholder of Golden Princess Cinemas, making him the behind-the-scenes financier of New City.

"So it's him?"

Yang Jun already understood that Lei Kun and Yang Jun were competing at the same time, which allowed Shao Yifu to take the opportunity to raise the price to 300 million.

“Jamie, leave this to me. I’ll talk to Mr. Lei.”

Yang Jun planned to try diplomacy first, then take action, and intended to meet with film tycoon Lei Kun that evening.

Although Lei Kun is a businessman, he has good relations with the Number Gang and also has a gang background.

Most of Hong Kong's wealthy have intricate connections with triads, and Lei Kun is the financial backer of the Loyalty Gang.

Lei Kun's villa is in Repulse Bay, not far from Yang Jun's villa, and Yang Jun personally visited him.

Lei Kun happened to be at home and warmly received Yang Jun, since Yang Jun was also well-known and the Giant Group had a certain reputation in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Yang, I've long admired your name!"

Lei Kun was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a burly build and a smiling face. He looked at Yang Jun, who was only in his twenties, with great fear.

Giant Group is a large company with assets of over 100 million yuan. I didn't expect the boss to be so young.
