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

Chapter 62. No need to wait anymore, he won't come!

After the security guard was tied up, four burly men stormed into the photo printing factory and took control of the two editors inside.

"Not allowed to move!"

The two editors were so frightened when they saw the black stars in the hands of the four masked, burly men that their legs went weak. They were just there to work and had never seen anything like it before.

They'd seen scenes like that in movies before, but this was their first time seeing them in real life!
"Brother, there's nothing valuable here!"

I've been an editor for over a decade, and this is the first time I've ever heard of someone stealing a photo printing factory.

Ahua lowered his voice and said coldly to the two editors:

"Where's the film from Best Partner 2? Hand it over!"

The two editors looked at each other in bewilderment. It turned out they were trying to steal the negative. They knew how important the negative was, so they had resorted to trickery.

"The negatives are right there!"

One of the editors pointed to a metal box with a mocking expression.

Ahua sneered and shot the editor in the leg, causing blood to gush out and screams to fill the air.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Ahua pointed a gun at the editor's head and said menacingly:
"I don't want to kill anyone, don't force me!"

Where are the negatives? I'll give you one more chance~

Ahua wasn't really sure either; he was just testing the editor based on the other person's expression.

Sure enough, the editor backed down.

"Brother, I won't do it again! I'll get the negatives out right away."

The editor was stunned; these masked thugs were carrying real guns, not toy guns.

Ahua had two ID cards found on the two editors' belongings and read them aloud.

"Li Zhaohui lives in Block 12, Lianxin Garden, Kwun Tong."

“I know your home address. Don’t try anything funny. You’re just working. There’s no need to lose face.”

The two editors were stunned by this series of blows and begged for mercy in fear.

"Brother, this is a real negative. I dare not try anything funny."

Ahua nodded and waved to the people behind him.

"go!"

The group arrived in a hurry, took the negatives, and left in a hurry.

The two editors were also tied up, but Ahua made an emergency call before leaving, and the ambulance arrived at the photo printing factory ten minutes later.

When the paramedics opened the gate of the photo printing factory, they found the security guard and others tied up and immediately called the police.

Soon, news of the lost film reached New City Company, leaving the shareholders, who had just been popping champagne, completely stunned.

"What did you say? The film negatives were stolen?"

Lei Kun was shocked. This thing wasn't gold or silver cash; it wasn't so easy to convert into cash.

How could an ordinary robber steal this negative? Lei Kun panicked, already knowing who had done this.
Handsome Jun? Only he has the motive to commit the crime; strike at his weak point.

"Mr. Lei, should we call the police?"

Lei Kun shook his head. He knew that even if he called the police, there would be no evidence and they wouldn't be able to get the negatives back. Their loss wouldn't be just 800 million, but tens of millions!
Lei Kun's Golden Princess Cinemas are waiting for the release of "Aces Go Places 2". If the film's original footage cannot be found, they will have to waste two months reshooting.

If the film is leaked, Lei Kun's losses will be even greater.

"Leave this to me, don't call the police!"

Lei Kun's gang isn't clean either; the smashing of Yang Jun's nightclub was also Lei Kun's doing.

"Okay, we'll do as Mr. Lei says."

Since even the bald man, Mecca, agreed, the other minority shareholders had nothing more to say.

Lei Kun walked back to his office and made a phone call to Yang Jun.

"Ah Jun, why did things have to come to this?"

"Mr. Lei, you're the same to me! You smashed up my nightclub too, weren't you?" Yang Jun's nightclub was smashed up, and he only lost a few hundred thousand yuan, but Lei Kun's film negatives were worth tens of millions of yuan.

Lei Kun did not deny it, but sighed and weighed the pros and cons, deciding to withdraw from the competition for Shaw Brothers cinemas.

"Ah Jun, I'm not going to compete anymore. I'm withdrawing from the competition for Shaw Brothers cinemas."

"Give me back the negatives, and this is the end of our business."

Lei Kun compromised. After witnessing Liang Zai Jun's ruthlessness, he felt there was no need to continue fighting with him.

"it is good!"

Yang Jun didn't say much, but his meaning was clear: he agreed to Lei Kun's proposal.

The next day, Yang Jun went to TVB again and met with Shaw Yat-fu.

Shao Yifu politely invited Yang Jun to his office and said to him:
"Ah Jun, have you thought it through? Are you prepared with 300 million?"

Yang Jun, with his legs crossed, jokingly said to Shao Yifu:
"Sixth Uncle, didn't you receive the message?"

News? What news?

Shaw sat opposite Yang Jun, calmly took a sip of tea, and said to Yang Jun:

"You've come at the right time. Mr. Lei from Kowloon Motor Bus will be here later. You'll compete with each other, and the highest bidder wins!"

Having spent his entire life in business, Shaw had long since developed a keen sense of shrewdness. In order to maximize his profits, he planned to have the two parties bid against each other.

Just like an auction, the price is driven up.

Yang Jun sneered and said to Shao Yifu:
"Sixth Uncle, there's no need to wait anymore, Mr. Lei won't be coming."

Not coming? How could that be!

Shaw Yi-fu didn't believe it. Last time, Lei Kun had told him not to let Shaw Brothers cinemas be sold to someone else.

However, Shaw still made a phone call, and Lei Kun on the other end simply said:
"Sixth Uncle, I'm not going to fight for Shaw Brothers cinemas anymore. You can talk to Giant Group."

Shaw's expression changed drastically. "No way! Without multiple competitors, how can I possibly get a good price for my Shaw Brothers cinema chain?"

The phone rang. Lei Kun hung up immediately.

Shaw was shocked; a single phone call had cost him 100 million.

Shao Yifu looked at Yang Jun, feeling incredulous, wondering how Yang Jun had managed to win over Lei Kun.

At this moment, Shaw's second wife, Mona Fong, rushed in and called Shaw out.

"Sixth Brother, come out with me for a moment!"

Shaw greeted Yang Jun and then followed Fang Yihua out.

When Fang Yihua looked at Yang Jun, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly left the office.

"Sixth Brother, I received some news. The film negatives for 'Aces Go Places 2' have been stolen, and the editor's leg was broken by a gunshot."

What? Is there such a thing?
Shao Yifu gasped, his whole body trembling, his heart pounding with panic!
In his youth, Shaw was fearless! He dared to venture into Southeast Asia all by himself.

But now Shaw is no longer young; the older one gets, the more timid one becomes.

My heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I heard that guns were being used!
Now Shaw understood why Lei Kun had withdrawn; he hadn't expected Yang Jun to be so audacious as to directly seize the film negatives.

"Fine, I'll just sell it to the Giant Group and do them a favor!"

Shao Yifu sighed and gave Yang Jun a wry smile as he stepped back into the office.

"Ah Jun, I'll sell you the Shaw Brothers cinema chain and Shaw Brothers films as a package for HK$1.5 million. How about it?"

The price dropped from 300 million to 150 million, it was like a rollercoaster ride.

Yang Jun shrugged and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Okay, Uncle Liu, thank you!"

Yang Jun was definitely getting a good deal at this price, so he stood up and shook hands with Shao Yifu.

By acquiring Shaw Brothers Studio, Yang Jun essentially took all of Shaw Brothers' artists and directors with him, allowing him to start making movies.
