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

Chapter 749 "748" Zu Ge's TV interview with Versailles, the whole of Sichuan: Wow~~~
"Second brother, don't talk nonsense. Do you think he wouldn't have bodyguards protecting him?"

A tall, thin man chimed in, a hint of greed in his eyes.

"What's there to be afraid of! What hasn't our 'Tiger and Leopard Team' done? Those cops can't handle us, so how could we not deal with a few bodyguards? Besides, we'll seize the opportunity, catch them off guard, grab the loot, and run. Who can catch us?"

The scarred man, known as Second Brother, slammed his hand on the table, causing the cards on it to shake.

At this moment, the crew-cut man, who had been silent all along, raised his head and looked at the television: "If they really robbed it, then this will be a big deal."

"Big? What's there to be afraid of? We've robbed so much, made a fortune, so we're not afraid of things getting out of hand!"

"It is possible, but this matter needs to be carefully considered. The richest man in Hong Kong is no ordinary person, and if we are not careful, something bad could easily happen."

"But if it really succeeds, then wealth and glory will be within our grasp. Just thinking about it is exciting."

The group chatted excitedly, their initial thoughts of playing cards long forgotten, their eyes gleaming with unrealistic desires.

……

……

the next day,
Medan Guesthouse.

When Guan Zu and Ruan Mei went downstairs for breakfast, they suddenly noticed that there were more than ten guards, and they were carrying guns.

The education official explained, "Recently, a group of ruthless criminals emerged, and the leadership was concerned about their safety, so they sent people over to protect Mr. and Mrs. Guan."

"Also, Mr. Guan, my suggestion is that you stop going for spot checks and return to Chengdu as soon as possible."

Guan Zu seemed to be deep in thought.

He'd seen the news yesterday; those ruthless gangsters were clearly very arrogant, and his group had been a bit too high-profile lately. The gangsters all knew he was the richest man in Hong Kong, and could easily take HK$15 billion.

Although he wasn't afraid of them, he still had Ruan Mei by his side.

He didn't want her to be in any danger; he couldn't bear to even hurt a finger.

As for Prince Guan?
Sorry, Prince Guan was abandoned by Guan Zu at the Jinjiang Hotel.

(Prince Guan: "…………" Feed me peanuts! Feed me peanuts!)
Guan Zu decided, "Then let's go back..."

The education official breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, morning? Afternoon?"

Guan Zu thought for a moment and said, "Around 10 a.m., I'll have a meeting with the inspection team first, and then I'll leave... By the way, leader, could you please ask the government to arrange someone to protect the project inspection team as well?"

Although these bandits operate randomly and it's unlikely that you'll encounter them, Guan Zu still tries his best to ensure their safety.

The education leader patted his chest and said, "No problem!"

quickly,

Guan Zu held a meeting and briefed the engineering team.

10 points,
Guan Zu led Ruan Mei and her group back to the Jinjiang Hotel in Chengdu. The journey was smooth and without any problems.

Next, the inspection team continued their work, conducting random inspections in the areas designated by Gu Guanzu.

The next 5 days
The inspection team personally visited five counties, including urban areas, county districts, towns, and villages.

Continuous spot checks.

Guan Zu was very satisfied with the final inspection results.

All passed.

During the call, Guan Zu also made a request: that the government erect a monument in front of every newly built five-star primary and secondary school in the province, listing the financial departments, construction teams, and suppliers involved in the construction of the school.

If problems arise, no one will be able to escape responsibility.

And during this time,
Guan Zu didn't stay idle either; instead, he went to the five-star West China Hospital located in the northwest area of ​​downtown Chengdu.

This hospital has been under construction for three months and is currently undergoing renovations.

The building is very large.
There are also gardens and the like.
The road outside has been fully paved.

Guan Zu and the others, wearing helmets, entered the hospital building.

The door frames for each department have been built, and the door signs for the obstetrics and gynecology department and the emergency department are leaning against the wall, waiting to be installed.

Inside the ward, workers were laying non-slip floor tiles, and boxes of white ceramic tiles and brown baseboards were stacked against the wall.

In the operating room area on the top floor, technicians were adjusting the fresh air system, the hum of the machines mixed with the static of walkie-talkies...

In the evening, Sichuan News Network began reporting:
"Today, Mr. Guan Zu inspected the Sichuan Five-Star West China Hospital, which was completed less than three months ago..."

"This large-scale, top-tier general hospital, built by the Five Star Group, is twice the size of the existing West China Hospital and has attracted widespread attention from all sectors of society since its groundbreaking..."

"It is understood that the hospital is built to international first-class standards in terms of discipline development, equipment configuration, and talent reserves. It is a large-scale, comprehensive tertiary hospital integrating medical treatment, teaching, and scientific research. After its official operation, the Five Star Group will draw elite medical teams from its affiliated medical institutions to work together with senior medical professionals dispatched by West China Medical Center to form a talent linkage and cooperate..."

"This kind of cross-regional integration of medical resources is unprecedented and has greatly promoted the rapid development of medical technology in Sichuan..."

……

Inside that bandit's den.

The ruthless thugs of the Tiger and Leopard gang fell silent as they watched the news about Guan Zu on TV.

"How did he end up in Chengdu? I was saying I'd catch him on this road in Linshui, but he's gone so far, what are we going to do now?"

"Exactly! We don't know anyone in Chengdu, and there are police everywhere. How are we supposed to kidnap anyone? We're probably not even going to get a taste of the spoils!"

They were all cursing and swearing.

They felt that the opportunity to make a fortune had slipped away.

Finally, the leader spoke up: "Then rob other people's stuff, even a little bit of money is money!"

They finally quieted down a bit.

……

The Sichuan News Network hadn't finished airing yet.
Host: "Also, we have some good news for our viewers. Tomorrow night at 20:00 PM, Mr. Guan will be a guest on Sichuan TV. Our station will conduct a half-hour live interview with Mr. Guan, and there will be a segment where he can speak with viewers. Please feel free to call our hotline at 8558 777..."

As this news was broadcast...

Every household in Sichuan is filled with anticipation.

They live deep in the mainland and rarely even leave their province, let alone the international metropolis of Hong Kong. Moreover, in recent years, songs and movies from Hong Kong have become popular in Sichuan through cassette tapes, video tapes, and CDs, making many people curious about Hong Kong.

……

……

Time flies,
After 24 hours.

Dusk was already falling in Chengdu at 19:00 PM.

The neon lights on the Sichuan TV building have already been lit up.

A convoy of cars pulled up in front of the TV station, and Guan Zu and the publicity leaders got out of the cars together.

Guan Zu was dressed in a black suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and sporting a warm and charming smile.

The station director and several deputy directors, who had been waiting at the main entrance, immediately stepped forward to greet them.
“Hello, leader…”

"Hello Mr. Guan, we've been waiting for you! Welcome to Sichuan TV..."

The station director shook hands with Guan Zu with great enthusiasm.

19:55,

Guan Zu arrived at the studio.

Two sofas, one table...

On the table was a sign that read, "Dialogue with Guan Zu – A Contemporary Connection Between Hong Kong Island and Sichuan." Three video cameras stood on either side, with red lights flashing in front of the lenses to indicate readiness.

The host is Chen Yue, a famous presenter.

Both parties took their seats.

Guan Zu had originally asked Ruan Mei if she wanted to come, but she said no, she didn't want to be in the limelight.

20:00 sharp,
The studio lights suddenly came on, and the director waved his countdown hand from three to one.

Chen Yue straightened his back:

"Good evening, everyone. This is a special live broadcast of Sichuan TV's 'Tonight's Interview' program! I am your host, Chen Yue."

"Today we are honored to have Mr. Kwan Cho, a well-known industrialist from Hong Kong Island and the founder of the Five Star Group, as our guest. Mr. Kwan, please say hello to our fellow villagers in Sichuan!"

Guan Zu smiled and waved at the camera: "Hello, fellow Sichuanese. I'm Guan Zu, and I'm very happy to be here in Sichuan..."

Then the formal interview...

Host Chen Yue: "Mr. Guan, we heard that you come from an ordinary family in Hong Kong Island. Could you tell us about your early life and how you gradually became the richest man in Hong Kong?"

Guan Zu smiled and said, "I do come from an ordinary family. I was an orphan when I was in middle school..."

The entire Sichuan audience: "Huh???~~~~"

Guan Zu: "As for how I started my business? I opened a five-star property management company, which did cleaning and maintenance... Of course, the biggest feature of our property management company was doing good deeds, such as helping the elderly cross the road, or helping old ladies carry their groceries..."

"At the time, I set up a reward system: do a good deed and you get a cash reward..."

The entire audience in Sichuan: "Wow???"

The host then asked, "From starting with nothing to becoming the richest man in Hong Kong, was there any benefactor who had a profound influence on you during your journey?"

Guan Zu smiled and said, "No, I started from scratch. I didn't have any benefactors. If I had to name one, it would be my wife's support. I'm grateful to my wife, Ruan Mei, for always supporting me..."

Showing off their love!!
The people of Sichuan: "…………"

host:"…………"

Caught off guard, Guan Zuxiu completely surprised him.

Ruan Mei, sitting in front of the television, smiled broadly. Looking at Guan Zu on TV, her gaze was tender and full of love.

The host asked curiously, "Is Mrs. Kwan from a wealthy family in Hong Kong?"

Guan Zu smiled and said, "My wife's ancestors were a wealthy family in Hangzhou, but they fell on hard times after moving to Hong Kong. When I first met my wife, she was so poor that she had to do handicrafts to earn money every day, and she had to carefully calculate how much money she could save on the vegetables she ate each day..."

The entire population of Sichuan: "Wow~~~~"

They thought Guan Zu was supported by his wife, but that wasn't the case.

Truly self-made?
so amazing!

The host was also surprised, and then asked, "What was the biggest difficulty you encountered in the early stages of your business, and how did you overcome it?"

Kwan Cho: "Difficulties? There are no difficulties. When I run my company, my brothers and friends are willing to support me, and my neighbors are willing to support me. My company has never encountered any difficulties."

The entire audience in Sichuan exclaimed: "Wow!!!!"

Host: "Wow!!!"

It feels a bit like 'Versailles', even though they don't know the word Versailles yet.

I reckon that if future generations of Malaysians heard this, they would all be tempted to say something like this:

(Slides to knees and cries in anguish~~~)

When it comes to showing off, I can't beat him!
The host thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps this is the real-life experience of Wei Zheng's saying, 'The people can carry a boat.' As long as you have popular support, you will succeed in whatever you do."

Guan Zu nodded: "Yes, thank you for the support of the neighbors..."

Host: "How did you come up with the idea to donate 15 billion yuan to Sichuan to build schools? Sichuan is thousands of miles away from Hong Kong Island. What makes you pay special attention to education in Sichuan?"

Guan Zu: "Two years ago, I went to Shaanxi. At that time, in order to establish in-depth cooperation with universities in China, I donated 1 million yuan to Northwestern Polytechnical University in Shaanxi. It was then that I saw with my own eyes the poor teaching conditions of the students, which gave me the idea of ​​donating the school..."

"Sichuan is the second province where I've donated schools..."

Host: "Two provinces combined... that's two or three billion yuan in donations, isn't it?!"

Guan Zu nodded: "Yes."

The entire population of Sichuan: "Wow~~~~~~~"

Host: "Have you ever encountered any doubts on your path of public service? How have you viewed and dealt with them?"

Kwan Cho: "Questions? There are indeed some, but it's not the citizens of Hong Kong Island who question it. Rather, it's many business owners who question whether my charitable work is too outrageous, that it surpasses theirs... Currently, our Five Star Group's charitable funds account for 90% of the total charitable funds in Hong Kong Island. Many charitable organizations say that Five Star Charity is the industry's worst enemy..."

Industry paraquat?
Upon hearing this, the host, Chen Yue, burst out laughing.

Viewers in Sichuan province watching on television were also outraged.

Host: "As a self-made entrepreneur who rose to become the richest man in Hong Kong, what would Mr. Kwan like to say to the vast number of entrepreneurs in mainland China?"

This time,

Those ambitious young people in front of the television couldn't help but prick up their ears.

This is the richest man sharing his experience!

Guan Zu thought for a moment and said, "First of all, we can make one thing clear: our country has a huge population and huge resources, and its economy is bound to take off. So there are countless opportunities right now."

"In addition, I would also like to make it clear that: in life and in business, I don't expect you to do charity, but at least you should have principles and a bottom line."

That's all Guan Zu can say.

Saying it again would sound like I'm talking to my father.

Host Chen Yue: "Thank you, Mr. Guan, for sharing."

Then I continued, "Mr. Guan, with such a busy work schedule, how do you balance your career and personal life? Do you have any hobbies?"

Guan Zu: "Sometimes I'm quite busy, but I often organize fishing trips with my brothers and friends, then family team building activities, or we can have late-night snacks together, cook together... I don't really like business dinners and banquets; I prefer more everyday leisure..."

Host: "What are your expectations and suggestions for Sichuan's future economic development and urban construction?"

Guan Zu: "One word: Whoosh, take off!"

"I have no suggestions. Because I have more faith in the wisdom of the people of Sichuan Province; it will definitely take off!"

The host and audience laughed happily again.

……

20 minutes later,
The host seemed reluctant to leave.

The people of Sichuan Province were also still eager for more.

30 minutes felt like far too short!

I need one hour... no, two hours!
Host Chen Yue: "Alright, now we've moved on to the audience hotline segment. Let's connect with our first caller and see what questions they'd like to ask Mr. Guan..."

Beep beep beep~~~~~
quickly,

The call is connected.

The first listener was a woman who excitedly shouted as soon as the call connected: "Ahhh~~~ Did I get through? Hahaha~~~ I'm so lucky, cough cough cough... Mr. Guan, hello, I'm a parent of an elementary school student in Mianzhu. Thank you so much for building such a big and beautiful elementary school..."

Chen Yue: "This audience member, due to time constraints, please ask your question."
