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

Chapter 555 "554" Five Star Bank is established, Guan Zu: I will not enjoy the glory alone, let's get rich together!

"It's Mr. Guan!"

"Mr. Guan is here!"

The crowd who were watching the man jumping off the building made way for him when they saw Guan Zu coming.

Guan Zu looked at the guy on the rooftop on the 4th floor and felt that he looked familiar.

Isn’t this Zha Zha Hui?
I asked the neighbors out of curiosity,
"Why did that handsome guy up there jump off the building?"

The neighbors were talking to each other.
"Mr. Guan, he is like this. He often talks about jumping off a building, but he never really jumps."

"Yes, Mr. Guan, don't be fooled by him."

"He would never dare to jump."

One of the bald guys, named He Hongshen, even shouted to the people upstairs: "Mr. Guan is here now, jump, jump, if you don't jump you are a wimp!"

Then he was kicked by Guan Zu.

He Hongshen chuckled and said, "Mr. Guan, my name is He Hongshen."

Guan Zu: “…………”

What sin did King of Gamblers commit that he has the same name as you?

Guan Zu: "What's his name?"

He Hongshen: "My name is Li Jiacheng..."

Guan Zu: “…………”

Has Boss Li offended you?

Guan Zu was too exhausted to complain.

"Hey~~~" Guan Zu shouted to Li Jiacheng on the roof, "Li Jiacheng, right? Tell me, what happened? Why did you jump off the building? If you have something to say, tell me nicely. Come down first."

Li Jiacheng naturally saw Guan Zu and felt as aggrieved as a child.

"Mr. Guan, I am suffering~~~~"

Then he started crying and telling about his miserable experience.

His parents died when he was 3 years old. He was always one point short of passing every exam when he was in school. Once, his teacher was kind enough to give him a passing grade, but he was hit by a car and killed the next day.

After his parents passed away, Li Jiacheng lived with his uncle, dog, and Wenzai, but he often caused his uncle to suffer by squeezing out toothpaste or breaking faucets. His uncle sighed and said, "Luckily the sewer (toilet) didn't spray." As a result, a large amount of fecal water sprayed out of the sewer in an instant.

An aunt was nearly hit by a car on the road. Li Jiacheng saved her with his quick eyes and hands, but in the blink of an eye, the aunt was hit by a refrigerator falling from a high altitude on the upper floor.

The kind-hearted Feng Shui master McDull invited Li Jiacheng to work in his store. As a result, the store, which was originally crowded with customers, suddenly became deserted.

Master McDull has studied physiognomy in Shaolin for decades and is an expert in face reading. He sees that Li Jiacheng has a face of wealth and should not be so unlucky. The master is very puzzled and thinks that there must be something wrong with Li Jiacheng.

Li Jiacheng had just left Master McDull's shop, but in the blink of an eye, several robbers entered the shop under the pretext of fortune-telling. The master himself had not yet opened the shop and could not give them any money. Seeing that they failed to rob the money, several crazy robbers actually raped the master, and Master McDull was raped.

Several Five Star Property employees ran to help him, but were hospitalized as a result of him.

downstairs,

Guan Zu: “…………”

Being fucked directly into silence.

Is this a carbon-based organism?
unbelievable!

It's just as outrageous that President Biden fell in love with a 46-year-old cleaning lady as that Elon Musk fell in love with a girl from the BYD factory!
Wait... why does this feel familiar?
Could this guy be the unlucky male protagonist in the “God of Gamblers 2” version?

The more I look at it, the more they look like each other.

Li Jiacheng: "Mr. Guan, do you think people like me should die? Wuwuwu~~~~"

Guan Zu: "Don't be in a hurry to die, I have a way to help you change your luck."

Li Jiacheng's eyes widened: "Mr. Guan, do you know how to change your luck?"

Guan Zu: "Come down first, I'll tell you~~"

Li Jiacheng was excited: "I'll come down now!"

Then I remembered...

As a result, my feet slipped~~
"Ah~~~~"

Li Jiacheng screamed and fell down from the building.

Guan Zu's mind was filled with black lines.

However, he still kicked He Hongshen next to him away, jumped up, caught Li Jiacheng in mid-air, and landed on the ground.

No one else can do this dangerous move. Even Xu Zhengyang finds it difficult, but it is easy for Guan Zu.

But what felt a little awkward to Guan Zu was that she gave her princess hug to a man!
The only good news is: there is no magic of love spinning around~~~
"Ahhhh~~~"

Guan Zu threw Li Jiacheng to the ground. Li Jiacheng was still hugging Guan Zu's neck and screaming.

Guan Zu's face turned black: "Let go!"

Li Jiacheng finally reacted and looked left and right, and found that he was actually saved by Guan Zu.

"Woooooo~~~"

"Mr. Guan, thank you!"

Li Jiacheng quickly let go and thanked him repeatedly, feeling extremely grateful.

Guan Zu also didn't want to stay with Li Jiacheng for too long. If bad luck struck him, he would be in trouble.

He said bluntly: "The way to change your fortune is very simple. Take a Feng Shui master with you to worship your ancestors."

After hearing this, Li Jiacheng was a little confused and scratched his head.

By this time, Guan Zu had already gotten into the black Chevrolet and left.

"You saved Li Jiacheng..."

"Reward: "Li Jiajia Luck +1"..."

Guan Zu: “???”

What a good thing.

……

……

Li Jiacheng was reminded by Guan Zuyi that he remembered that he had not visited his ancestors for a long time.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still noon, Li Jiacheng quickly took Master McDull to find the ancestral grave.

After searching for two hours, he still couldn't find the ancestral tomb. After asking around, Li Jiacheng learned that the ancestral tomb had been turned into a public toilet.

Master McDull finally understood now. His ancestors were crushed by the public toilet. If Li Jiacheng doesn’t suffer, who will?

Li Jiacheng hurriedly offered sacrifices, and Master McDull proposed to negotiate with the villagers to move the public toilet away. Then they found the villagers and talked to them, but of course the villagers refused.

"How to do?"

"I don't know what to do either."

"Why don't we find Mr. Guan..."

"it is good!"

One hour later, in the evening,

Guan Zu was having dinner with Ruan Mei and Fang Ting at home, and then Li Jiacheng came over.

Guan Zu met Li Jiacheng downstairs, and finally asked Datou to find someone to help Li Jiacheng.

That night,

They broke into the public toilet overnight and dug out the ancestor's urn.

Then, following the advice of Master McDull, he returned to his hometown in the mainland overnight to find a Feng Shui site for burial.

……

……

In a flash, it was December 1992, 12.

Today is the last day of the year and the New Year's Eve atmosphere permeates every corner of Hong Kong Island.

In the evening, the annual fireworks show in Victoria Harbour is about to begin.

The coast of Wan Chai and the opposite coast of Tsim Sha Tsui are brightly lit, and dense crowds of people gather at various viewing points.

With a "whoosh", the first firework streaked across the night sky like a meteor. Immediately afterwards, colorful fireworks bloomed one after another, illuminating the entire Victoria Harbour like daylight.

At this time, the major shopping malls, hotels and bars in Hong Kong Island are also bustling with activity.

Business is twice as much as usual!
……

Some are happy, some are worried.

At this time, the two shopping malls, Taikoo Plaza and Taikoo City...

Byron, the new boss of Swire Group, inspected the two shopping malls with a grim face. The customer flow was far worse than that of other shopping malls.

“We’ve already made a good marketing plan!”

“Why are there still fewer customers coming to this mall than in other malls?”

Peng Lizhi looked worried: "Boss, maybe we should ask for a bigger promotion!"

Byron: "Promotions are also a temporary solution... our losses will be even greater."

This year's annual report will be particularly ugly.

We have been incurring losses since September. In September, October, November and December, all the profits of the previous six months were lost.

And the stock market continued to fall.

Peng Lizhi suggested again: "Then let's just sell the two shopping malls." Byron pondered.

As a veteran minister of four dynasties, he should take Peng Lizhi's advice seriously.

……

a new day,
1993 1 Month 1 Day.

New Year.

The temperature is 20 degrees and the sunshine makes Hong Kong Island not so cold.

Today, most citizens in Hong Kong have a holiday, and many people will choose to sleep late and enjoy a peaceful morning.

Then get up, have breakfast, go for a walk on the seaside, or play in various parks, or go to Victoria Peak, Lion Rock and other places to spend a warm and peaceful holiday.

This time, the Five Star Group continued with team building, but this time they did not choose to do it on a yacht, but on a beach in Lantau Island.

All the five-star giants, as well as their wives and children... were brought with them.

barbecue……

Play majiang……

fishing……

“New year, new journey!”

"Everyone in Hong Kong will be at work tomorrow, and we are going to start doing big things!"

Guan Zu: “Cheers!”

"Woohoo~~~~"

"Ulla~~~"

Let’s toast together!
Warm atmosphere!

……

……

1993, April 1.

Thursday.

Work all over Hong Kong.

9 o'clock in the morning,
The Five Star Group officially held a press conference on the establishment of Five Star Bank.

Because the Five Star Group building is not big, the press conference was held at the Grand Hotel in Harbour City.

Reporters from TV stations and newspapers all over Hong Kong, and even reporters from Macau, came.

Conference Hall,

The atmosphere at the scene was filled with loud drums, firecrackers and huge crowds of people. All reporters knew that this time there would be a major earthquake in the banking industry.

At this time,
ATV and TVB both used live broadcast channels to broadcast the contents of the conference to thousands of households across Hong Kong, as well as financial companies such as banks, securities, insurance, trusts, and funds through television signals.

At least one million citizens were paying attention to this press conference.

9:10…

Amidst the countless flashes of light,
Guan Zu, dressed in a black suit, walked up to the podium with the gait of a dragon or a tiger.

"Everyone..."

"I am Guan Zu, the chairman of the Five Star Group."

Guan Zu, who was standing on the podium, had a radiant look and a calm temperament, and his whole body seemed to be glowing.

"We are holding this press conference today to announce a major news to everyone."

"After more than half a month of acquisition!"

"We have acquired and integrated 15 banks in total, and our business outlets now cover the entire Hong Kong Island, with a total of 105 outlets, four more than HSBC!"

"There are more than 24 400-hour automatic teller machines (ATMs), forming a dense financial service network."

"Now the integration and unification have been officially completed!"

"Here, I declare that Five Star Bank is officially established!"

Guan Zu's voice is powerful and resonant.

"Wow, wow~~~"

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

Click, click, click~~ The flash lights became more and more dense, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

Guan Zu pressed his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said: "In order to give back to the general public and businesses, I announce the following measures..."

"First, we will attract deposits with high interest rates. The interest rate for current deposits will be 0.1 percentage points higher than the market average, so that citizens' idle funds can have higher returns..."

"Second, Five Star Bank fully accepts corporate loan services and simplifies the one-stop loan approval process. A professional team will evaluate loan applications in the shortest possible time..."

"third……"

"fourth……"

"fifth……"

At this time, the live cameras of ATV and TVB were locked on Kwan Cho, accurately transmitting his every word and every expression to 230 million households across Hong Kong.

In financial companies such as banks, securities, insurance, trusts, and funds, employees stopped their work and stared at the TV screens.

At last……

Guan Zu paused, looked at all the reporters, and finally looked at the ATV camera.

It seems as if the gaze is directed towards all citizens of Hong Kong.

"Since its inception, the Five Star Group has always upheld a belief: enterprises never exist in isolation, but are closely linked to the well-being of the people, like blood, and are inseparable."

“We are fully aware that as a company, while pursuing commercial success, we also shoulder an unshirkable social responsibility. This responsibility is a commitment to every citizen, a commitment to help social development, and a mission to promote the continued prosperity of Hong Kong.”

“The Five Star Group is willing to take concrete actions to fulfill this responsibility, build a bridge between corporate development and people’s livelihood improvement, and work together with all Hong Kong citizens to create a better future.”

“So, I decided to give back to everyone in the most direct way.”

“The way to give back is—”

"Five Star Bank's 'Million Shareholding Plan'!"

Guan Zu's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the hall.

It resounds in the ears of thousands of households across Hong Kong.

"Five Star Group will take out 30% of Five Star Bank's shares from its own shares and open them to all Hong Kong citizens for subscription."

"In order to ensure that more citizens can benefit, each citizen (including children) can only purchase once, for HK$2. This will prevent excessive concentration of shares in the hands of a few wealthy people and truly achieve inclusive finance."

"These 30% shares are targeted public shares with restricted circulation, and their shareholder rights are managed by Five Star Group."

“The purpose of this plan is to enable every citizen to become a shareholder of Five Star Bank and truly enjoy the dividends brought by the development of Five Star Bank.”

Before Guan Zu finished speaking,

The press conference was in an uproar.

2 Hong Kong dollars, with more than 500 million citizens in Hong Kong, that means 1000 billion Hong Kong dollars, to acquire 30% of the shares.

In other words, the market value of Five Star Bank is estimated to be HK$3300 billion.

but!

Is Five Star Bank really worth only over 3300 billion Hong Kong dollars?
Reference: The market value of HSBC (Hong Kong Island) is more than 1500 billion US dollars, equivalent to 1 trillion Hong Kong dollars!

At present, Five Star Bank is indeed just getting started and is just an empty shell.

However, Guan Zu’s operation was too outrageous, and he actually allowed all Hong Kong citizens to become shareholders.

What else can Hong Kong citizens do?
Of course, try your best to save money here!

Think about the future, the ability of this Five Star Group to attract deposits will definitely be more terrifying than that of HSBC.

2 Hong Kong dollars, you can multiply it several times if you buy it!
And there will be continuous dividends in the future!

what is this?
It’s the God of Wealth who brings wealth!

Many of the thousands of households and hundreds of thousands or even millions of citizens watching TV are aware of this, or perhaps not, but they also realize that they are about to be hit by a golden cake.

Everyone was excited!
buy!
Must buy!
As for those financial companies such as banks, securities, insurance, trusts, and funds, the financial personnel in front of the TV all changed their expressions.

Finished!

After this, who the hell can compare with Five Star Bank?
HSBC is very strong, but is it willing to make concessions?
It will only continue to suck the blood of Hong Kong's economy and grow stronger!
But Five Star Bank is different. It wants to feed a super huge piece of cake, hundreds of billions of profits, directly to all citizens.

Beast!
You are a fucking businessman.
Shouldn't the correct approach be "The gentry donate first, and the common people donate later. After the matter is accomplished, the gentry's money will be returned in full, and the common people's money will be divided into 30% and 70%"?

You are wasting money!

"Fellow citizens!"

Guan Zu's voice continued to echo in the hall, on television, and in the ears of all the audience, clear and powerful.

That figure is like the sun.

"The development of Hong Kong Island cannot do without you!"

"You have contributed to the prosperity of Hong Kong Island!"

"Five Star Group and Five Star Bank are willing to help you get rich together and share the fruits of Hong Kong's prosperity!"

"The glory is not mine alone!"

"You will definitely be part of the success!"
