Jimmy secretly gave a thumbs-up. He was now very glad he had transferred to Yang Jun's team.
If he was running the pager business, it would never have reached this level. Boss Yang Jun was clearly a business genius.
"Jimmy, you will be the Vice President first, assisting Liu Yong Jun, mainly responsible for developing the mainland market."
Yang Jun planned to have Jimmy develop the mainland market using the Kyushu pager as a stepping stone to penetrate the mainland market. Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan only had so many people. Even Taiwan, with the largest market, only had a population of over 20 million.
Although the mainland had only recently relaxed its economic restrictions a few years ago, people were still living at a relatively low standard. However, tens of millions of people had already made their first bucket of gold and many had become ten-thousand-yuan households.
It would be difficult to convince them to buy a mobile phone, but a 3,000 yuan pager could be bought with a little grit.
"Brother Jun, you also see potential in the mainland market?"
Great minds think alike! Jimmy had long been drooling over the mainland market. Over the past two years, he had frequently traveled to Guangdong Province to investigate business opportunities and had some understanding of the mainland.
Yang Jun chuckled. He knew how large the mainland consumer market would be in the future. Chanel and other luxury brands had their largest market in mainland China. Entering the mainland market now was the perfect opportunity to get a taste of the good life.
"Of course. You go to the Guangdong Branch and arrange for product launches. Good luck."
"Yes, boss!"
Jimmy was full of energy. The business in Hong Kong was booming, and the mainland market was vast. He had to keep others from getting a foot in the door.
Watching Jimmy hurry away, Yang Jun felt at ease. Jimmy was a talented guy and had a knack for making money.
Times Square, Causeway Bay.
Big D was out shopping with his wife, casually chatting about the Kyushu pager business. Big D said with a condescending tone:
"That little punk Jun doesn't know what he's doing. He has so many nightclubs and he's not using them properly. How much money can you make just selling drinks and girls?"
"He's not dealing drugs or selling ecstasy. What's he being so high and mighty for?"
Big D continued to complain as they walked. He had wanted to partner with Yang Jun to sell ecstasy, but Yang Jun rejected him outright and even mocked him.
So, Big D had no good feelings towards Yang Jun and was waiting to see him fail.
"This is even more ridiculous. He's clearly a gangster, but he wants to act like a legitimate businessman!"
"He's even doing high-tech stuff like pagers! Haha! If he succeeds, I'll eat my hat!"
Mrs. Lei looked at Big D speechlessly. This was jealousy. She smiled faintly.
"Big D, I told you last time, there's no need to conflict with that little punk Jun. The more friends you have, the better."
Mrs. Lei frowned. Big D had too many flaws. He was too impulsive and lacked brains!
If Mrs. Lei wasn't there to strategize, Big D would have already fallen flat on his face. He wouldn't even last two episodes.
"Finally got one! Damn! I waited in line for two hours to get a Kyushu pager."
"No way! You're so lucky. I waited in line for three hours, and I got one for my girlfriend too. She only agreed to go to a hotel with me after I got her one."
Two young people passed by Big D, showing off their Kyushu pagers and playing with the functions.
Big D: "........."
This was impossible! Big D had just finished complaining about that little punk Jun, and then he got slapped in the face.
"There are so many pager brands, there's no reason it would be that little punk Jun's. You must be mistaken!"
They walked another hundred meters. A Kyushu pager advertisement was displayed on the big screen in Times Square. Two lines of hundreds of people were waiting in line. Big D's face turned pale.
"This... this..."
Seeing that little punk Jun was making money made Big D feel worse than losing money himself!
Mrs. Lei, however, lit up, a knowing smile curling on her lips.
In front of a bar in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Chen Ho Nam was leaning against the parking valet stand, bored. After his Causeway Bay territory was taken over, he became a rootless underling.
He could only rely on his previous relationship with Tai to work as a parking valet at a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. He was becoming increasingly down on his luck, the bottom rung of the underlings.
"Brother Nam, look what I got! A Kyushu pager! I finally managed to grab one."
Bao Pi ran over excitedly, showing off his achievement to Chen Ho Nam.
"The one with the Chinese display? Let me see."
Big Tai also came over and examined the pager carefully. The screen was indeed in Chinese, much easier to use than the previous English ones.
But Chen Ho Nam's face darkened. He said in a heavy voice:
"What brand is this pager?"
Bao Pi was confused. He told the truth and said the pager brand.
"Kyushu. It's the hottest one now. Everyone is using it!"
Chen Ho Nam exploded upon hearing this. He snatched the pager and smashed it on the ground, his face twisted with rage. He stomped on it several times.
"Brother Nam, what are you doing? This is a 3,000 yuan high-end product..."
Bao Pi was stunned. What had triggered Brother Nam?
Chen Ho Nam grabbed Bao Pi's collar and cursed viciously:
"You rotten son of a bitch! The Kyushu pager is that little punk Jun's business. You're buying his products, you're a traitor!"
Ah! Bao Pi was shocked. He never imagined that the hottest pager was made by that little punk Jun.
"Brother Nam, I didn't know!"
"Yeah! Brother Nam, Bao Pi didn't know either."
With Big Tai's persuasion, Chen Ho Nam finally calmed down. He had been thinking about revenge, revenge for Boss B, but he couldn't find the right opportunity.
In short, the Kyushu pager was a huge hit, and many business tycoons set their sights on the Kyushu Group.
For example, Li Ka-shing, who had been keeping an eye on Yang Jun, took out a pager and looked at the Chinese display on it, a smile spreading across his face.
"That kid's got brains. He came up with this idea."
"He was a nightclub king before, now he's a pager king."
Before he became a tycoon, Li Ka-shing was the "plastic flower king." There were many "kings" in the Hong Kong business world, meaning they had reached the top in their respective industries.
Kyushu Group Headquarters, Hutchison House.
Yang Jun sat in the center of the conference room. To his left was Liu Yong Jun, the group's CEO, and to his right was He Wan Qiong, the vice president, as well as managers from various departments, including the finance manager A Di.
Although this big sister A Di was not favored later, Yang Jun didn't mistreat her. He arranged for her to work in the finance department.
