Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 248 "247" Short selling ends, huge profit! Boss Li: ...!
at night,

Mido Hotel.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the dazzling city night view surrounds you.

"The boss told us today to get our foundation moving and to make achievements as soon as possible."

"To do better than Guan Zu."

“The target groups are Causeway Bay and Wan Chai.”

"Win back the hearts and minds of these neighbors and make the Hundred Supermarkets prosperous again!"

After the powerful words,

Jack Lee leisurely raised the goblet to his lips, tilted it gracefully, and let the deep red liquid in the glass slowly slide into his throat.

What he is drinking now is a bottle of Romanee-Conti worth more than 1 yuan.

Savor each sip of wine and enjoy its unique flavor and deep taste.

I, Jack Lee, have devoted my life to charity until my death. What's wrong with drinking some red wine that costs 1 yuan a bottle?
Can't you just enjoy yourself?
Only the unruly people would object!
The subordinates next to him drank more than ten thousand bottles of fine wine and spoke compassionate words.

“We are serious about doing good deeds!”

"I hate to see poor people suffering. I will help them when I see them."

"Don't worry, Guan Zu is nothing!"

"Our foundation has 1 million, 10 billion... our boss will give us as much as we spend!"

"How much money can the Guan Zuna Foundation have? At most 200 million!"

"Can you compare with us?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, if our Li Foundation leaks even a little bit, it will be the number that Guan Zu looks up to."

At this moment,
A manager suddenly mentioned something: "Mr. Li, I was chatting with a friend from the charity foundation next door a few days ago, and they talked about something..."

"They said that the market has changed now. They donated 100 million yuan, took 50 yuan for themselves, and the employees took 20 yuan, leaving 30 yuan for the recipients."

As soon as this word comes out,
"Hiss~~~~"

"Hiss~~~~"

The whole audience gasped.

"Are you serious?" another person asked in shock.

"We only get 30 yuan, and the employees get 10 yuan!"

“How do they take so much?”

The manager who was talking about the matter said: "I heard that not only their foundation, but other foundations are also slowly operating in this way."

Jack Lee slammed the table: "So, aren't we at a disadvantage... No, this is vicious competition!"

The other subordinates nodded one after another: "Yes, vicious competition is unacceptable!"

“You will be despised by your peers.”

"If they move up, we must move up too!"

Everyone looked at Jack Lee: "Boss Lee, how about... we also adjust the ratio? Boss Lee, you have been working so hard for charity, and you look tired recently... This is not good!"

"Yeah!"

"Mr. Li should get more!"

After some discussion and Jack Lee's final nod, they changed the plan to: donate 100 million, take 60 for themselves, take 20 for employees, and the remaining 20 for the recipients.

After the decision was made, everyone toasted each other and the atmosphere became lively.

After two drinks,

Jack Lee said, "The boss has emphasized today that we must continue to carry out charity and win back the hearts of the people in Causeway Bay. So we can't be negligent and must spend more charity money in Causeway Bay!"

Everyone raised their glasses and said, "No problem!"

"The last time there was a gunfight at Yun Lai Tea House, it was in Wan Chai. Why don't we go and comfort these citizens... The more projects we have, the more money we can make."

"can!"

"If there are any families in need, we will go to their homes and donate money."

"no problem!"

Jack Lee stood up, raised his glass, and said righteously: "Everyone, let us work together and take action to ensure that every precious donation can be accurately delivered to the people who need help the most. We must use practical actions to prove that love can be passed on and hope will last forever!"

"aweason!"

"cheers!"

"Cheers to Mr. Li!"

……

A new day began, and the Lee Foundation, under the leadership of Jack Lee, began to take action.

First, banners were hung in front of the entrances of hundreds of supermarkets.

"Based in Wan Chai, the Lee Foundation brings love and warmth to all those in need!"

"Difficulty Registry!"

"If you have any difficulties, contact the Lee Foundation!"

You know what, it immediately attracted many neighbors to stop and take a look.

"I'm in trouble. Can you really help me?"

"Of course, our Lee Foundation is truly doing charity!"

After receiving a positive response, residents soon began to make phone calls to tell the news to neighbors who were in need of financial assistance.

Not long after,
More and more citizens are waiting in front of hundreds of supermarkets.

Dozens... one hundred... two hundred...

"Our family of four lives on my meager income and some relief money from my grandfather, but we are unable to make ends meet. Now I really don't know what to do."

"My child is so seriously ill, and the hospital bills are astronomical. Although my brother has contributed a lot, we still can't afford it."

"I was in a car accident and can't work now. My wife is raising the children alone. She has to work and take care of me at the same time. Although Zu Ge often helps, it's still not enough..."

"..."

Every family has its own difficulties.

Even after being helped by Five Star Property and Five Star Charity Foundation, there are still many families in need...

In just one hour, the information of more than 1 needy families had been filled in.

The staff are very positive.

"Don't worry, as long as we verify that there is no problem, our Li Foundation will definitely not ignore it!"

"In the future, I would like to ask all the neighbors to help us spread the word. Our boss, Mr. Li, has always liked to do good deeds. I hope all the neighbors will understand and stop boycotting our Baijia Supermarket."

Hearing this, many neighbors were naturally very moved.

Normally, these foundations all have their heads held high and their noses looking up, and they have nowhere to turn to for help.

Now they are actually taking the initiative to help us solve our problems!

What a nice guy!
So many neighbors said:
"No more boycott, no more boycott!"

"Go shopping at the supermarket now!"

"Just because of your attitude, we also want to support your 100 supermarkets!"

Charlie Zhou, the general manager of the supermarket, who had been standing at the door of the supermarket to greet customers, was extremely excited.

at last!

The customers are back!
"Welcome! Welcome!"

Charlie Zhou kept bending and bowing to greet them warmly.

Soon, more and more neighbors heard the news and came, and hundreds of supermarkets were once again packed with guests, busy and bustling.

"They're all back!"

"They're all back!"

General Manager Charlie Zhou almost cried.

……

……

HSBC Bank, Central.

First floor, main entrance.

Guan Zu, Ye Tian and secretary Fang Ting walked out from HSBC Bank with smiles on their faces.

Yesterday, Guan Zu’s short selling contract with HSBC expired.

I came to HSBC today to carry out the final settlement and completely clear the accounts. It is clear at a glance how much profit I have made on the books.

In this wave, Guan Zu earned about 4 million, and Chen Yao, Big Boss B and others earned about 5000 million.

4 million may seem like a lot, but it will soon be invested in the leasing/purchase, decoration, product procurement, establishment of a supply chain system, marketing promotion, and other aspects of the "Five-Star Supermarket".

After getting in the car, Ah Xing started the car and returned to Causeway Bay.

"Ling ring ring~~~~~"

"Brother Zu, something happened in Causeway Bay." Ah Hua called.

"What's the matter?" Guan Zu crossed his legs leisurely and answered the phone. He was in a good mood and took a comfortable posture when answering the phone.

"Just now, a stall of the Li Foundation was set up at the entrance of Baijia Supermarket..."

Explain the situation again.

Guan Zu was surprised: "So positive?"

Ah Hua said, "Yes, usually these foundations are extremely arrogant, and doing charity is like giving alms to you. Now they are actually quite enthusiastic... But the effect is quite good. Many neighbors heard the news and stopped resisting. Baijia Supermarket is now bustling." Guan Zu nodded, "Okay, you call Gao Qiu and ask him to give you a list of families in need. You arrange for someone to call and notify them one by one, and ask them to register at Baijia Supermarket. There is no reason to refuse the money from the Li Foundation."

Guan Zu had no intention of ruining such a thing.

This kind of thing is good for the neighbors, as they can earn money, and Guan Zu is happy to see it.

Ah Hua: "Okay, I'll call Ah Qiu right away."

Guan Zu: "Wait... send people to the entrance of Baijia supermarket and count the families in need."

Ahua: "We have a list..."

Guan Zu: "No, I want to see if they will deduct donations, for example, only give the neighbors 2000, and they report 1... Many of these charitable foundations operate in this way."

Why does the Lee Foundation do charity here?

The purpose is to attract customers back to Baijia Supermarket.

So, it will definitely be in the newspaper tomorrow or on the news tonight.

If, during these few days, when they are praising themselves, they reveal how much money they donated, and then Guan Zu figures out that the residents only received a small portion, that would be really funny.

Ah Hua understood and became excited: "Okay, I'll send someone to do the statistics."

……

Soon after Ah Hua got the list, he mobilized the staff of Five Star Property Company to cover the entire Causeway Bay and the surrounding Wan Chai area.

Call to notify!

Door-to-door notification!

"Extra, Extra. The Lee Foundation is committed to charity and is willing to support families in need. Families in need should go to Baijia Supermarket immediately."

With the large-scale publicity of five-star properties,
Soon, a large number of needy families rushed to hundreds of supermarkets.

More than 100 people... More than 300 people... More than 500 people...

There was a congestion in front of the Baijia Supermarket, which affected the traffic on the road.

"They're all back!"

Charlie Zhou, the general manager of the supermarket, blushed with excitement: "Finally, they are all back!"

……

……

Cheung Kong Group.

"boss!"

"Under your guidance, our foundation has set up a sign in front of hundreds of supermarkets in Causeway Bay..."

Jack Lee held the photos (many people at the supermarket entrance·jpg) (crowds of people inside the supermarket·jpg) and excitedly reported what happened in front of Baijia Supermarket.

"It's just like what you thought, boss. Once we do good deeds, these neighbors will appreciate our kindness and will no longer resist us. Instead, they will start to support us..."

"Now, the customer flow of Baijia supermarkets has recovered to 60% of the previous level."

"This is a charity, and it has a very good effect in attracting customers!"

"Boss, you are so wise!"

Jack Lee flattered Boss Li and looked at him with admiration.

Move forward and retreat freely!

"good very good!"

Boss Li stood up happily.

The frustration in his heart from being humiliated many times in front of Guan Zu suddenly dissipated a lot.

It’s not difficult to do charity!

It turns out that saving hundreds of supermarkets is so simple.

No wonder Guan Zu likes to do charity so much!

Very good, from now on this move is mine!

You, Guan Zu, don’t have as much money as me, how can you fight with me!
Boss Li praised Jack Lee:
"You did very well!"

"Since the effect is so good, let's continue to do it... and make it bigger and stronger!"

Jack Lee was excited: "Don't worry, I will!"

Boss Li reminded: "Remember, when doing good deeds, you must put them into practice and give them to those who are truly in need."

Jack Lee held his head high and said righteously: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely not let you down!"

Boss Li nodded: "Oh, and we need to notify the TV station and ask them to interview and report... and contact tomorrow's newspaper as well!"

"The more people know about it, the better it will be for us at Pepsi!"

"Yes! Boss!"

Jack Lee leaves the office.

Ring, ring, ring~~~The phone in Boss Li’s office rang.

It was a call from the chairman of HSBC.

"I have some news for you. Guan Zu and others have all finished their short selling and completed the settlement..."

Boss Li: "How much money did Guan Zu make?"

HSBC Taipan: "4.5 million."

Boss Li: “………………”

……

……

noon,

In Wan Chai, Hong Fu Restaurant is crowded with diners and is very lively.

at this time,

The televisions mounted on the walls in various places in the restaurant were broadcasting the midday news from ATV and TVB, which included news about the charity work done by the Lee Foundation and the revitalization of 100 supermarkets.

In a luxurious box,

On the big round table were plates of mouth-watering delicacies.

A dish of steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, the scallop meat is tender and fresh.

A dish of steamed grouper, with tender fish meat and served with shredded ginger and green onions, just right!
A dish of braised sea cucumber, the sea cucumber is soft, glutinous and smooth, and the braised sauce is mellow.

The truffle and mushroom stewed chicken soup is golden and fragrant; the dry pot antler mushrooms are delicious and chewy...

"Brother Yao, Brother B, Anan..."

"These three cards are yours. Brother Yao gets 2000 million, Brother B gets 2000 million, and Anan gets 1000 million. I've already taken my share. These are all yours..."

Guan Zu handed three cards to the three people respectively.

"Haha~~~ A-Zu is so sharp!"

"Thank you, Zugo!"

The three of them accepted the bank cards, smiled happily, and quickly toasted Guan Zu.

"Thank you, Brother Zu, for bringing me wealth!"

"Here's to you!"

Guan Zu accepted everyone who came, and for a while, the atmosphere in the box was lively and exciting.

One hour later, after dinner,

Guan Zu said goodbye to everyone, got on the blue Bentley, and headed to the Central and Western District of Hong Kong Island.

This time, he wanted to inspect the site and decide where would be the best place to open the first "Five-Star Supermarket".

Either Central and Western District (Shek Tong Tsui, Sai Ying Pun, Sheung Wan) or Kowloon Central (Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon City).

Causeway Bay is not suitable for the time being because China Resources is there.

……

Arrived in Sai Ying Pun.

Guan Zu took the map and drew a circle on it, including Shek Tong Tsui, Sai Ying Pun and Sheung Wan.

While Guan Zu was looking at the map...

Ah Xing suddenly pointed to the street outside the window and said, "Brother Zu, I think I saw Brother Feisha..."

Guan Zu: “???”

He looked out the window and saw Feisha being forced to retreat by a group of people led by the "Dongguan boy". (From "ptu·Humanity")
Then, they were stuck in the alley.

'Dongguanzi' patted Feisha's shoulder:

"Warm yourself up by answering a question first..."

“Math problem!”

"You owe me $50, and the interest is 80%. How much is it if I only calculate the interest for a week?"

Feisha thought for a moment: "5000?"

'Dongguanzi': "Wrong, it's 28000! All banks and creditors in Hong Kong calculate it this way!"

...

Guan Zu: “…………”

The corners of mouth twitched!

Famous scene: Dongguan boy forced Fei Xue to do math problems, laughing and crying~~~
