Yang Jun walked out of the Hong Kong Island Regional Headquarters, casually tossing the plaque into a trash can. The Little Ghost, standing beside him, looked puzzled and asked:
“Boss, why are you throwing away the plaque like that?”
“Good Citizen award from the Gweilo, who the hell wants it!”
Yang Jun simply said coldly, walking towards Flying Dragon and continuing, “By the way, donate another 5 million to the social welfare institute, specifically to improve the environment for orphans.”
Ah! Flying Dragon was stunned for a moment. Donate more?
“Boss, we’re short on cash recently. Wouldn’t it be better to use this money to buy buildings?”
Yang Jun let out a snort, speaking with a deep meaning, “I’m serious about doing charity. We were orphans too, remember to be grateful for what you have. Only then can we go further.”
Flying Dragon’s mind was about to explode. A triad doing charity, unheard of!
“Jun-ge, we are a triad!”
Yang Jun stopped, glancing at Flying Dragon with dissatisfaction, “Who said we are a triad? Having money and power makes you white. Having money but no power makes you black!”
“Those in power are even blacker than us, are they called a triad? No, they set the rules.”
Flying Dragon was deep in thought. The Little Ghost nearby leaned over and asked,
“Brother Flying Dragon, what does the Boss mean? What’s black and white?”
Flying Dragon was interrupted from his thoughts and replied impatiently, “How would I know? If I knew, I’d be the Boss.”
Next, Yang Jun rented a building in Central. The tallest building in Central in the 1980s was the Jardine House, owned by the Jardine Matheson Group, the largest foreign firm in Hong Kong.
Yang Jun rented three floors in one go. The annual rent was millions, but for the sake of making a splash with his business, he paid a high price to rent the tallest building in Central.
“Boss, these are the applicant materials. Take a look!”
Flying Dragon placed a stack of files in front of Yang Jun. Yang Jun’s face twitched. So many?
Apparently, the Hong Kong economy wasn’t doing too well. Just hiring two CEOs, and so many applicants.
“Liu De Wang, 36 years old, graduated from the University of London, Master’s degree in Business Administration.”
Yang Jun went through several files, all from prestigious universities, either PhDs or Master’s degrees. He felt awkward!
He had only finished junior high, but now he had to hire so many high-achievers to work for him. However, education was just a stepping stone, ultimately it was about ability.
“He Wan Qiong, 22 years old, graduated from Cambridge University, Juris Doctor (JD) degree.”
A PhD so young? But that wasn’t the key. This He Wan Qiong was so beautiful!
She had a ladylike air about her, wearing a white shirt, looking like a good girl. Yang Jun’s eyes lit up.
“Call them all for interviews. The rest of the department managers, you can decide?”
Yang Jun would only interview the CEOs, the rest would naturally be handled by Flying Dragon. He then instructed Flying Dragon, “I asked you to acquire a pager factory last time, have you found a suitable one?”
Hong Kong was not only a financial and shipping center, but its manufacturing industry was also exceptionally developed. Textile and electronics factories were everywhere, with many involved in the manufacturing and processing of pagers.
“Jun-ge, I found one. A pager factory that previously processed for Motorola. They got their orders cancelled this year, which perfectly fits our requirements!”
“The price isn’t expensive either. The owner is asking for 7 million to transfer the factory and land to us. The factory covers 10,000 square feet with over 100 workers.”
Yang Jun nodded in satisfaction, leaning back in his boss’s chair and closing his eyes. He spoke lightly, “Acquire the factory. Our main focus will be the Han-Xian BB machine. It will be launched next month.”
“Yes, Boss!”
Although Flying Dragon felt the timeline was a bit tight, he generally wouldn’t dare to persuade Yang Jun once he had made up his mind.
Flying Dragon’s greatest advantage wasn’t his competence, but his obedience!
With the factory matter settled, Yang Jun prepared to hire several professional managers to run the Kyushu Group.
Flying Dragon would mainly be in charge of the nightclub business. The BB machine business would definitely need someone to manage, it couldn’t be Fu Guang and A Ji, could it?
They were professional at hacking people, but managing a company? Forget it, if the company didn’t go bankrupt in a month, they would be considered talented.
Yang Jun and Flying Dragon together acted as interviewers, interviewing several candidates. They eventually selected a 35-year-old man named Liu Yong Jun.
“Liu Yong Jun, 35 years old, PhD in Finance from Harvard University in the United States, previously worked on Wall Street, with experience in financial work.”
Yang Jun smiled slightly. He remembered this Liu Yong Jun, he was ranked third on the “Workaholic Emperor” list. That’s why Yang Jun took a liking to him at first glance.
This man would become the Workaholic Emperor in the future, his ability was undoubtedly excellent.
While Yang Jun observed Liu Yong Jun, this steady middle-aged man was also sizing up his future boss.
This boss is way too young, right? Does he have the experience?
As Liu Yong Jun hesitated, Yang Jun understood his thoughts. Although he dressed maturely, he looked no older than 20, looking like a rich second-generation playing around with a company for a hobby.
“Mr. Liu, I started from scratch. Don’t worry about our company’s capabilities!”
“Have you heard of the Wan-Guo Nightclub? It’s a subsidiary of our group. Our company’s assets exceed 100 million.”
A light of excitement shone in Liu Yong Jun’s eyes. From scratch? And he built such a large nightclub.
He had of course seen the Wan-Guo Nightclub. When he returned to Hong Kong, he had gone with a friend to experience it once. Spending tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a night was normal. It made a lot of money!
“I wonder what my salary would be?”
“Annual salary of 300,000, plus 3% performance bonus. What do you think?”
Yang Jun extended three fingers, smiling at Liu Yong Jun. To be honest, the offer was quite generous.
A salary of 300,000 per year was considered a high salary in the 1980s. Of course, this also included a 3% performance bonus. This immediately tempted Liu Yong Jun.
“Okay! Boss, I, Liu Yong Jun, can start working at any time.”
“Welcome! Flying Dragon, introduce our group situation.”
After Liu Yong Jun joined, he realized that the current Kyushu Group had no real business, just an empty shell company, with only the nightclub as its facade.
Liu Yong Jun chuckled wryly. Did I get tricked into this?
Whatever, if they didn’t pay him, he would run away. Liu Yong Jun planned to pack up and leave at any moment.
Liu Yong Jun served as the President of the Kyushu Group and participated in the subsequent hiring process. He then hired a few more people.
When He Wan Qiong walked into the conference room, all the men present felt their eyes light up. The girl was too pure, with a first-love face, a slender figure, and a white dress that made her very elegant.
“Good afternoon, interviewers. My name is He Wan Qiong. I have no work experience.”
Liu Yong Jun was originally going to reject her. Although He Wan Qiong’s qualifications were excellent, it was inappropriate for her to apply for the Vice President position without work experience.
“The Boss said to hire her, annual salary of 200,000.”
Flying Dragon quickly reminded him. Liu Yong Jun instantly understood. This was probably a relative. So he nodded.
“Miss He, you’re hired. Annual salary of 200,000!”
“Thank you for the trust and opportunity!”
He Wan Qiong was overjoyed. Didn’t expect this company to actually hire her? Willing to give her a chance.
Although she came from a prominent family, she didn’t want to work for the family business. She felt it was a waste of her abilities. She wanted to prove her worth!
