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

Chapter 426 "425" Fei Peng vs. Guan Zu, first confrontation!

It was already evening when Fat Peng checked into the Governor's House.

At this time,
Causeway Bay, late night barbecue stall.

"This Governor of Hong Kong has come with bad intentions!"

"Looking at his inaugural speech, you can tell he's here to cause trouble this time."

Guan Zu, Mao Xiangyang, and Yang Jianhua had supper together again.

Yang Jianhua had originally returned to the imperial capital, but because the new Governor of Hong Kong came suddenly, he was sent back to find out the specific situation.

Guan Zu said as he bit into a grilled chicken wing.

Mao Xiangyang: "What do you mean?"

Yang Jianhua also looked up.

Guan Zu: "Let me analyze it for you. The new Governor of Hong Kong's inaugural speech mainly emphasized three points..."

“First, he said, ‘Hong Kong Island’s achievements today are inseparable from…Britain’s long-term governance of this land…a stable and fair legal system…a clean and efficient government model…free and open social values…democratic process…’”

"What did he emphasize in this paragraph? It was about their British system, got it? He was trying to put us on the spot in front of all the citizens of Hong Kong..."

Mao Xiangyang and Yang Jianhua nodded.

His face was serious.

Guan Zu continued: "Next, the second point: "I personally attach great importance to the voice of every Hong Kong citizen... build more bridges of communication... close interaction...""

"What does this show? He wants to be close to the people."

"Why should we be close to the people? In the end, I still want to tell the citizens... I am your friend, and then continue to put on eye drops... According to what our great man said, he is doing united front work..."

Speaking of this,

Mao Xiangyang and Yang Jianhua's faces changed immediately.

Guan Zu’s analysis is absolutely correct.

Guan Zu continued: "The third point is the most important... He said "Democracy development will be an important direction of my administration... expand citizens' political participation... explore a more perfect representative system... so that every citizen of Hong Kong Island can exercise their power more fully...""

"There is a key word here... 'representative'. It is obvious that he is going to cause trouble."

Guan Zu said here,

Mao Xiangyang couldn't sit still any longer: "I want to report to my superiors..."

Guan Zu nodded: "I think after the new Governor of Hong Kong delivers his inaugural speech this afternoon, the content of his speech will appear on the desk of the leaders above without any changes... However, how and when the leaders know it is one thing, and whether you report it or not is another matter."

Mao Xiangyang: "Well, I will report tomorrow."

Yang Jianhua: Same!
……

……

It's a new day and the sun shines on the Governor's House.

The weather in May in Hong Kong Island is considered fresh and pleasant.

Early in the morning,

Fat Peng started swimming in the swimming pool of the Governor's House. He swam several laps and then went back to wash up after feeling comfortable.

Then he put on his clothes, went to the restaurant, and sat down to have breakfast with his wife and two daughters.

His female secretary who came from England reported:

"Sir, according to the new Governor's schedule, you will meet with the former Governor, Mr. Wei Dewei, today, and then meet with the Chief Secretary, the Financial Secretary, and the Secretary for Justice..."

According to the rules, the outgoing Governor will not leave Hong Kong Island immediately, and may need to provide consultation and assistance to the new Governor on some follow-up issues for a certain period of time. For example, if the successor has questions when understanding certain historical policy backgrounds or handling some cross-term affairs, the outgoing Governor must answer them based on his own experience and knowledge.

Fei Peng picked up a piece of medium-rare beef with blood on it, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

After finishing his meal slowly, he said to his secretary:
“All trips are cancelled!”

"what?"

"Today, our family is going to take the subway, take the bus, and go to church..."

Secretary: “But…”

Whether it is the former Governor of Hong Kong, the Chief Secretary, the Financial Secretary, or the Attorney General, they are all waiting, which gives a feeling of being stood up.

but,

The secretary changed his mind and said, Governor of Hong Kong, he is the local emperor, is it not okay for me to stand you up?

Then wouldn't it be a waste of my position as Governor of Hong Kong?
Thinking of this, she, as the secretary of the Governor of Hong Kong, couldn't help but feel excited and proud.

Following the boss is my greatest luck!

Secretary: "Okay, I'll go arrange security right away..."

More than 8 o'clock,

After finishing their breakfast, Fei Peng and his family started to prepare for their journey, squeezing into the subway to be close to the people.

……

Inside Central MTR Station,

It was as busy as ever, with a bustling crowd of people, and the sounds of footsteps and conversations intertwined.

While waiting for the subway, citizens were chatting enthusiastically about the new Governor of Hong Kong.

"What do you think his style is like?"

"Looks very smiling."

"Don't you think his two daughters are beautiful?"

"I think his wife is prettier."

"???"

"???"

"No, we are talking about serious matters!"

"I'm serious about what I said!"

"???"

Now, everyone was silent.

Just then, a slight commotion was heard from the station entrance.

"It's the Governor!"

"Oh my God, the Governor is here!"

It turned out that Fat Peng appeared at the subway station with his wife and two daughters.

Fei Peng smiled and waved to the citizens enthusiastically. He was wearing a casual suit and looked energetic and friendly.

His wife was wearing a dress and had a gentle temperament. His two daughters were also young and beautiful. They followed closely behind their parents, looking at the people around them curiously.

There are also bodyguards around.

"Your Excellency the Governor!"

"Mr. Governor!"

More and more people shouted out in surprise, and soon the entire subway station was boiling with excitement. Citizens gathered around and cheers rose one after another.

Fat Peng was not at all arrogant and chatted with the citizens in a friendly manner.

Citizen: "Hello, Mr. Governor! Welcome to Hong Kong Island."

Fat Peng: "I'm very happy to be in Hong Kong Island. It's so full of energy here!"

Citizen: "Mr. Governor, it is convenient to take the subway, but there are too many people. It is crowded every day. Mr. Governor, do you think there is any way to improve it?"

Fei Peng: "Too many people is indeed a problem. I will talk to the subway company and consider increasing the frequency and capacity of the subway to make travel more convenient for everyone."

Citizen: "Governor, it would be better if the ticket price could be a little cheaper. It's a bit expensive now."

Fat Peng: "Grandma, your opinion is very important..."

Citizen: "Mr. Governor, can you speak Cantonese?"

Fei Peng: "I know a little bit, and I'm still working hard to learn."

Citizen: "Governor, where are you going now?"

Fat Peng: "Although I am the Governor of Hong Kong, I want to focus more on people's livelihood, so I need to know more about everyone's life, which will be very helpful for my future work. I hope that in this way, I can better understand Hong Kong Island and do more for everyone."

After hearing this, the citizens' favorability towards him suddenly soared.

This Governor is great!

Very friendly!
Moreover, the Governor of Hong Kong is fat and amiable. It would be more intimate to call him Fat Peng instead of Governor of Hong Kong.

When we arrived at Mong Kok by subway, reporters from TVB, ATV and other media also rushed over after hearing the news.

Fat Peng went to the largest Christian church in Hong Kong - the Evangelical Christian Church.

I went in, said a prayer, and then mingled with the believers.

Then we went to Wong Tai Sin… Of course, I didn’t go inside, but I did chat with a lot of the citizens.

The whole process is very people-friendly! Very people-friendly! Very freaking people-friendly!

TVB, ATV, and major media outlets all captured this scene.

……

……

Until noon,

TVB and ATV both broadcast the Governor's actions.

ATV News:

"In the past two days, the new Governor of Hong Kong, Fat Pang, has become the focus of heated discussion among Hong Kong citizens."

"And this morning, Governor Pang, his wife and two daughters appeared at the Central MTR station, which instantly caused a sensation in the subway station. He was dressed in a casual suit, smiling, and waved and greeted the citizens enthusiastically, interacting cordially with the citizens..."

"He said that although he is the Governor of Hong Kong, he wants to focus on people's livelihood and understand their lives in this way so as to better serve them. This statement won applause from the citizens..."

TVB News,

"Governor Pang and his wife and daughter went to the largest Christian church in Hong Kong, the Evangelical Church of Hong Kong, where they prayed for blessings. Then he went to Wong Tai Sin and had cordial exchanges with the surrounding citizens..."

"Governor Pang's series of actions fully demonstrate his people-friendly image. He changed the traditional style of previous governors and entered the lives of Hong Kong citizens in a more people-friendly way."

"At the same time, this people-friendly attitude has also made citizens full of expectations for his future governance."

Without receiving any instructions from Kwan Cho, ATV made the same report as TVB, and both expressed great affirmation of Fat Peng's people-friendly behavior.

After reading the news, all the citizens of Hong Kong were also surprised.

"I didn't expect this Governor to be so down-to-earth. I've never seen such a person before."

"Yeah, he's quite approachable. He chatted with us on the subway. It seems like there may be hope for the future."

"I was quite surprised to read this news. The Governor of Hong Kong is willing to listen to our complaints and seems to really care about us."

"I didn't have high expectations for the new Governor of Hong Kong, but I didn't expect him to be so approachable. Not bad, not bad."

"I thought a new official would start with three things, but I didn't expect Fatty Peng would start with being close to the people. That's amazing."

Citizens across Hong Kong expressed surprise and appreciation for Fat Peng’s attitude.

……

In the following days,

Fat Peng is not doing his job every day, investigating people's sentiments everywhere...

5 month 17 day,
Fei Peng traveled through several communities in Yau Ma Tei and walked into the streets full of the atmosphere of life.

Have friendly conversations with street vendors, ask about their business situation, find out whether the stall fees are too high, how their customer flow is, and whether they have encountered any operational difficulties.

In old neighborhoods, he would sit on a bench and chat with the elderly who were basking in the sun, care about their physical condition, ask about the community's security and sanitation, and what expectations and suggestions he had for community services.

then……

"In the past, Yau Ma Tei was quite chaotic. There were too many gangs and fights every day..."

"Later, Five Star Property Management and Five Star Charity Foundation came, public security improved, and gangs stopped fighting everywhere..."

Fei Peng’s face froze.

"Five-star property?"

"Yes, Five Star Property is a very good company, and Mr. Guan is a very nice person... Five Star Property often cleans up the community and provides assistance, and has done a lot of practical things..."

Fat Peng’s face became more and more ugly.

Why is he close to the people?
It's all for the purpose of getting rid of Guan Zu, who is 'suspected to be a person planted from the north'!
So now the more these citizens flatter Guan Zu, the more unhappy he becomes.

That night, TVB and ATV news reported: Fat Peng visited the community and had a cordial conversation with the elderly.

……

January 5

Fei Peng went to Kowloon City again and went deep into the school to interact and communicate with teachers, students and parents.

then……

Teachers and parents are full of praise for the Five Star Education Group.

Teacher A: "Before, the clubs always came to the school to cause trouble. Since the Five Star Education Group moved in, the school has become quiet."

Teacher B: "The students are starting to study hard..."

Fat Peng: “…………”

His face became stiff again.

The parents were extremely grateful: "Yes, yes, yes. My son used to be naughty and didn't study. But after the school reform, his academic performance improved rapidly."

Another parent: "Yes, thanks to the Five Star Group, Mr. Guan is a good man."

Fat Peng: “…………”

That night, TVB and ATV reported: Fat Peng visited the school to learn about the education situation...

……

5 month 19 day,
Fei Peng went to the hospital again to express his condolences to the medical staff and thank them for their hard work. He also talked with the hospitalized patients and their families, and showed concern for the patients' conditions and treatment progress.

Fortunately, he did not go to Mingxin Hospital this time, so he did not hear the citizens praising Guan Zu.

That night, TVB and ATV reported: Fat Peng visited the hospital in person and cordially consoled the patients...

……

5 month 20 day,
Fei Peng went to the Wan Chai wet market again, stopped in front of each stall, checked the types, freshness and prices of the vegetables, talked with the stall owners and the citizens who came to buy vegetables, and learned about everyone's daily shopping problems...

Soon, he got the only good news so far -

"Since the opening of Five Star Supermarket, our market has seen fewer customers."

“Business has become difficult.”

"Damn it, they're all five-star supermarkets!"

"Yes, that's too bad!"

After hearing this, Fei Peng felt as if he had found a confidant. Finally, someone opposed the Five Star Group. For him, this was undoubtedly a ray of sunshine among the countless dark clouds, which suddenly brightened his gloomy mood.

Finally, he couldn't resist his curiosity and went to the Five Star Supermarket in the Central and Western District.

Then we randomly asked some citizens about this.

“How do you feel about Five Star Supermarket?”

"Very good, good food, cheap price, good service, and they can help with delivery..."

"Where's the vegetable market?"

"I don't want to go to the vegetable market anymore. The vegetables are rotten, it's dirty and messy, the weight is short, and the service attitude is bad..."

Fei Peng contacted more than a dozen citizens, and their attitudes were surprisingly consistent: they all disliked the vegetable market and felt that five-star supermarkets were their best choice.

Fei Peng couldn't help asking, "What about 100% Supermarket and Wellcome Supermarket?"

He did his homework.

He was wondering if he could save the Baijia and Wellcome supermarkets.

Upon hearing this, the citizens shook their heads and said:

“These two supermarkets are too small…”

"And we don't like Boss Li..."

“The service in these two supermarkets is average…”

“The quality is not as good as that of a five-star property, and the price is not as cheap as that of a five-star property…”

When Fei Peng heard this, he already had the answer in his mind.

This five-star supermarket is almost invincible in the retail field!
I have a deeper understanding of Guan Zu's strength.

Be careful, it's getting deeper!

That night, TVB and ATV reported: Fat Peng visited the wet market and Five Star Supermarket to show his concern for the citizens’ food issues…
