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

Chapter 662 "661" The tour group from Shaanxi Primary School has arrived in Hong Kong!
A news interview with Guan Zu had a huge impact.

daytime,

Mong Kok, Five Star Charity Foundation branch.

Many citizens came to the gate.

There are uncles, middle-aged people, and young people...

Even the old lady on crutches joined the team tremblingly.

There was a lot of conversation going on in the donation team.

"A Ping, how much are you donating?"

"Donate 100~~! Mr. Guan has already donated million, what's the point of us contributing a little? What about you?"

"They're all 100, just a token of my appreciation!"

"I'm 50, I don't have any money, this is all I have."

"I'm 200~~"

At this time, Ling Zuer walked in.

She donated 5000, but was very low-key and did not announce how much she donated.

In fact, she comes to donate money every month, 2000 each time. After all, her life was saved by Guan Zu, and how can such a small amount of money replace his life-saving grace? And she is a model herself, which is a high-income group.

The old lady who donated 100 yuan looked at her holding a stack of money in surprise and said, "Wow, beautiful girl, how much did you donate?"

Ling Zuer waved her hand: "Not much, not much~~"

The staff member said: "This beautiful lady donated 5000."

"Wow~~~"

The whole audience was stunned.

Some citizens were curious: "That's not right, why can she donate so much? Isn't it limited to 200 per person?"

The staff member said: "Because she is a VIP customer of the Five Star Charity Foundation, the maximum one-time donation limit is 5000 Hong Kong dollars."

Citizens in the audience: “????”

It feels like my cerebellum has shrunk all of a sudden.

Is it possible to have VIP membership for donating money?

OK OK~
This world is crazy!

……

That night,

ATV News begins broadcasting.

Wen Huixin reports:
"Good evening, everyone! This is ATV News."

"Today, an unprecedented enthusiasm has swept across Hong Kong! Since Mr. Guan Zu proposed the 'Youth Community' plan, the branches of the Five Star Charity Foundation have been crowded with people since this morning. Countless citizens have spontaneously lined up to donate, interpreting the 'warmth of Hong Kong Island' with their actions!"

The scene switches to the Mong Kok branch venue, and the camera sweeps across the bustling crowd with faces of all kinds overlapping.

"At the Tuen Mun branch, from grandmas on crutches to secondary school students skipping classes, from ordinary wage earners to well-known artists, all Hong Kong citizens responded to the call in the simplest way."

then,

The scene quickly switched to other venues: white-collar workers in suits and ties took out money to donate, and there was an old man leaning on a cane...

Finally, the news concluded,

"As of press time, the total amount of donations in Hong Kong has exceeded 3200 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"This love relay initiated by the public is not only a support for the youth group, but also allows the world to see that the spirit of Hong Kong Island has never faded!"

……

Oxfam Club, President’s Villa.

The TV was playing ATV News' lively donation footage for the Five Star Charity Foundation.

"Guan Zu!"

"Five stars!"

Chairman Chen Taiqi loosened his tie and was as angry and jealous as a red-eyed bull.

“Those losers would rather wait in line for 10 minutes to donate $100 than step foot in the door of Xerox!”

Can he not be angry?
In the past few years, Xerox has received at least 10 million in donations every year.

Last year, only wealthy businessmen donated two to three million...

And this year, even wealthy businessmen are going to five-star charities to donate...

Why!
"We only used 80% of the donations to pay our employees' salaries, but now it has been changed to 50%. What else do you want?"

The president gnashed his teeth and cursed:

"Instead of using donations to pay salaries, should I use my own money to supplement salaries? There is no such thing in the world!"

"Five Star Group is the cancer of the industry!"

He was cursing there, but his wife showed no interest at all. She came downstairs with her bag and was about to go out in her high heels.

She waved goodbye and said, "Honey, I'm going to play mahjong now. I'll be back later..."

Chen Taiqi: “…………”

...

Such scenes happened in one charity after another.

The charity that was bustling a few years ago is now deserted and its employees are being laid off one by one.

The Five Star Charity Foundation, on the other hand, is packed with visitors, which is in stark contrast.

The presidents of these old-established charities either angrily accused the Five Star Charity Foundation of "breaking industry rules" or looked at the amount of donations they received with jealousy.

In this "battle for love", they have lost the advantage.

In the past, wealthy businessmen would donate money and receive tax breaks and other benefits.

Now, with the gradual rise of Five Star Bank, the ties between major companies and Five Star Bank have gradually deepened, and donations from wealthy businessmen have gradually shifted to the Five Star Charity Foundation.

They called the Five Star Charity Foundation "the paraquat of the industry", and they were right. Even Guan Zu himself admitted that I am the cancer of the industry!
They cannot ensure that 100% of the donations are delivered to the recipients as they need to pay salaries, meet operating costs and deal with corruption.

The Five Star Group’s donations are 100% utilized.

Therefore,
They are destined to be eliminated.

The Five Star Group is so abnormal!

……

……

the next week,
The "Youth Community" is advancing rapidly.

The first is site selection.

In the Hong Kong Island area, the location is naturally chosen from a remote place.

There are three places that are considered remote:
Kennedy Town (top left), Chai Wan (right), Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay (bottom).

However, Deep Water Bay and Repulse Water Bay are mostly populated by wealthy people, and the land prices are high.

After much deliberation, I finally chose Kennedy Town.

Kennedy Town, as one of the earliest developed areas in Hong Kong Island, has a certain historical and cultural heritage. Places such as Sai Wan Qitai have preserved some buildings with a history of decades or even hundreds of years.

Of course, there are many facilities that disturb the residents here, such as incinerators, cement plants, slaughterhouses, and mortuaries.

That is why its property prices are cheap.

There is also East Kowloon, and I chose Kwun Tong.

Kwun Tong was an important industrial area in the early development of Hong Kong Island. With the gradual decline of the manufacturing industry, many factories relocated or closed down, leaving behind a large number of old industrial buildings and residences.

After the site selection is completed,

Next is the vigorous transformation of the "Youth Community".
Funding disbursement...

The construction team entered the site to carry out systematic renovation of the old buildings...

After demolishing dangerous walls and abandoned facilities, the exterior walls are uniformly painted with bright-colored paint, which not only beautifies the appearance but also improves recognition.

A shared kitchen, 24-hour study area, fitness space and book lending machine were built, and a plastic running track was laid and an open-air leisure area was created to meet the full range of young people's needs from living to entertainment.

Gradually transform the originally dilapidated and remote areas into vibrant new communities.

During the days of the "Youth Community" transformation,
ATV News, TVB News and major newspapers continued to follow up with reports, allowing all Hong Kong citizens to witness the transformation of this people's livelihood project.

On the first day of the renovation, the news headlines focused on the construction team's arrival. Workers dismantling damaged doors and windows of old buildings and moving abandoned facilities dominated the pages of major media, and the construction sites of the five communities were unveiled for the first time.

The newspaper published an article titled “Groundbreaking! Renovation of Youth Community Officially Started”, detailing the preliminary construction plan.

It successfully made headlines among citizens.

On the fifth day, the media turned their attention to the construction of internal facilities. Reporters interviewed the project designer in depth to reveal the space planning of the shared kitchen and study area. Ming Pao, Sing Tao Daily and other newspapers published special reports...

On the tenth day, with the renovation of the exterior walls and completion of the main facilities, the results of the transformation began to emerge.

Photos of brightly colored building facades and brand new plastic running tracks appeared on the front pages of major newspapers, and news programs even launched special reports, using contrasting shots to show the gorgeous transformation of the old neighborhoods.

A heated discussion has been sparked across Hong Kong.
Many young people are getting impatient after seeing the progress.

“Hope to move in soon!”

“Finally, we have our ideal space!”

The middle-aged and elderly citizens are a little unhappy: "Why are there youth communities but no elderly communities? I don't accept it!"

The young man retorted: “Isn’t it a Sunshine Community?!”

Amidst the cheers, there is always some noise.

……

……

Government House. Ashdown watching the news on TV.

He knew that the people of Hong Kong were once again praising the Five Star Group.

Bang~~~
Ashdown slams the table!
"hateful!"

"Why can't I stop him?"

This fact hurt him deeply.

He watched Guan Zu continue to stir up public opinion and gain the gratitude of the citizens.

If this continues, will I still be the Governor of Hong Kong?

How can a man be depressed and inferior to others for a long time? !

At this moment, he actually regretted coming to Hong Kong Island.

At this moment,
His wife came over and encouraged him, "Dear, you can't be so passive anymore. You have to become stronger."

"You are the Governor of Hong Kong! You are the one with the most power."

Ashdown looked at his wife, and seeing her expectation and encouragement, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

I treated her like this, but she still supported me so much!
What a bastard I am!

I really want to slap myself twice!

Ashdown held his wife's hand and said with emotion: "Thank you, Alina~~~"

The lady held Ashdown's hand tightly and said, "I am your wife, so I will naturally support you."

Cursing inwardly:

nonsense,

If you continue to be such a loser, how can I sell information to the Five Star Group? How can I get the benefits?
I can’t sell it at a high price!

Get stronger, you rubbish!
……

……

Central Plaza.

Top floor, Guan Zu’s office.

Guan Zu is once again overlooking the lives of Hong Kong people.

The sun was hot, but the air conditioning was cool.

Bashi is very good!
"You have a deep understanding of the plight of young people in Hong Kong Island and promoted the "Youth Community" project, which has given young people a place to pursue their dreams. This is a great good!"

"Your rewards are as follows:"

"Reward 1: Support from a broad range of young people in Hong Kong, equivalent to the support rate of Hong Kong Island residents + 4% (total 61%)!"

"Reward 2: "Talent Recruiting Aura" You have become an idol for many young people, and your talent attraction is +10% (of course, it will also increase your attraction to useless people by 10%)..."

Guan Zu: “…………”

When I saw the qualified rewards, I felt like complaining.

"Reward 3: Cash back..."

"Reward 4: ..."

Knock knock knock~~~~
at this time,

Hong Kong student knocked on the door and walked in.

"boss……"

"The travel plan is ready, please take a look..."

Gangsheng took a plan and placed it in front of Guan Zu.

Guan Zu opened it and started reading.

"Plan for Shaanxi Five Star Primary School students to visit Hong Kong in July, August, September and October"

domestic,

The semester is over and summer vacation officially begins.

And it’s time to fulfill the travel reward that Guan Zu promised.

There are more than 8000 primary schools, and each primary school has 6 grades, which means the total number of students on the tour is more than 48000. (Patch: The agreed period is 5 years.)
Guan Zu: “…………”

Scalp numbness.

People are numb!
Why so many?
I didn't calculate it carefully before, but now that I have, it's a bit too much.

Look at the plan again.

July, August, September and October, 7 months, a total of 8 days, a batch of students every five days, a total of 9 batches.

48000 people, divided into 24 batches, which means each batch (5 days of travel) requires 2000 people.

This cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars.

If other companies were to do this, they simply wouldn’t be able to do it because the cost would be too high.

but……

Met me!

Cheating mode: On!

Jiejiejie~~~~
Guan Zu couldn't help but laugh.

Hong Kong student: “…………”

No, Brother Zu, you look like a villain like this!

Guan Zu quickly suppressed the corners of his villain's mouth and continued to read the travel plan:

Aviation: [Dragonair] Experience the check-in and security check process, and the crew members explain the aviation profession

Shipping: Visit Kwai Tsing Pier, visit China Merchants Group to learn about the shipping industry, take a cruise on the China Merchants Group to tour Victoria Harbour; climb the [Peak] to overlook the city

Subway, transportation...

【Five-star Electronics Factory】（Assembling simple electronic products, engineers explaining the technology industry）

【Mingxin Hospital】Visit and introduction to doctor/nurse careers.

Finally, Central Plaza + Five Star Group Headquarters...

Return...

very good!

It only takes two to three thousand Hong Kong dollars to exchange for a child’s future!

Worth it!

……

……

Shaanxi.

The playground of Wuxing Primary School on the loess slope,
When the wind blows, the dust flies.

The old village chief, wearing a washed-out blue shirt, stood on a simple platform made of wooden boards, holding a wrinkled report card in his hand, and shouted into the loudspeaker:

"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet! Now let's announce the final exam results--"

Dozens of children huddled together in the audience, their tanned faces filled with nervousness and anticipation.

"First place in the first grade..."

Some people cheered, some were depressed...

When the old village chief read out "The first place in the fifth grade - Tiedan",

A thin figure was stunned for a second, then rushed onto the stage with a roar and was almost tripped by a clod of dirt.

"Hahaha~~ I got first place!"

Tiedan happily held the certificate and cheered.

Village Chief: "According to Mr. Guan's agreement, the top-ranked student in each grade can travel to Hong Kong Island! Take a big plane!"

The old village chief’s announcement instantly made the playground boil.

"Wow! Can we really go?"

"Tiedan, bring us some candy when you go!"

Some are happy, some are sad.

"Other students don't need to be discouraged... Each student can only go once. Others who didn't get first place in the exam should work hard. As long as they get first place in the final exam, they can go to Hong Kong Island!"

As soon as these words came out,
Many primary school students began to get excited.

"Next time I will get first place!"

"it's me!"

"it's me!!"

The children all shouted that they wanted to get first place next year.

In the evening, kerosene lamps flickered in the dim earthen house.

Old man Zhang was squatting on the edge of the kang, eating corn porridge. Tiedan carefully pushed the certificate in front of his father.

"Dad, I got first place in the exam."

"The village chief said that we can go to Hong Kong Island during the summer vacation."

"Bang!" Old man Zhang slammed his chopsticks on the table. "Where are you going? Don't you want money? What if you get kidnapped on the road?"

"Mr. Guan has taken care of everything! I heard that there is a leader leading the team!" Tiedan was so anxious that his voice changed.
