191 [Gathering of Big Guys]
The live broadcast room of the newly built TVB building on Hong Kong Broadcasting Road.
A brand-new live camera is being pointed at the four hosts in the live broadcast room, He Shouxin, Tan Bingwen, Li Xiangqin and Chen Qisong (female).
A staff member shouted: "Brother Xin's signal here counts down to ten seconds." ”
"Okay. ”
He Shouxin nodded, looked at the countdown not far in front of him, and said at the last second: "Hello audience friends, I am He Shouxin." ”
"Tan Bingwen. ”
"Li Xiangqin. ”
"Chen Qisong"
He Shouxin said in a normal tone: "Today is Saturday, I believe that many audience members and friends are resting at home, or going out to watch the performance of the Hong Kong Festival, but there is a unique charity event on Queen's Road in Central, Hong Kong Island. ”
"That's right. Tam Bingwen next to him continued: "This is an educational charity performance organized by the Hong Kong Education Foundation to encourage and call on all friends in Hong Kong to pay more attention to the education of young people." ”
Li Xiangqin turned her head sideways and smiled and said to a few people next to her: "I think many friends are relatively unfamiliar with the Hong Kong Education Foundation, but their founder and president believe that many friends are very familiar with it, that is, Mr. Fok Yaowen, a well-known writer in Hong Kong, I like his books so much, especially "Sweet Honey", I like them all." ”
Chen Qisong said: "Yes, I also like Mr. Huo's "Sweet Honey", it is said that many female artists like this book very much, especially when I was filming the Happy Tonight show last time, Baozhu and Baobao also recommended this book to me when they were backstage. ”
He Shouxin laughed: "I see that you don't like this book, but Mr. Huo, although I haven't met Mr. Huo, but I've also seen his photos, I have to say that he is a beautiful boy." ”
At this time, the staff on the opposite side gestured, Tan Bingwen nodded slightly, and smiled at the camera: "Okay, I just received news from my side that the charity event at Queen's Square in Central has begun, let's move the camera to the scene." ”
At this time, the camera turned and came to Queen's Road Plaza in Central, Hong Kong Island.
There were many people at the scene, but the camera kept rotating back and forth on the guest seats.
He Shouxin saw the scene through the equipment in the live broadcast room, and then acted as a voiceover: "Audience friends, we can see that there are already many citizens crowded around the scene, all looking forward to the start of the charity meeting." ”
"Yes, there are a lot of citizens here. ”
"Not only the citizens came, but also a lot of well-known figures in Hong Kong's philanthropic circles. ”
"Yes, the Hong Kong Education Foundation has invited many philanthropic people in Hong Kong to participate in the education of Hong Kong children and youth, and we can see that Sir Zhou Xinian has also arrived at the scene......
...
TVB was broadcasting live from Queen's Square.
On the other side, Huo Yaowen and Luo Qiaozhen were also busy receiving the guests at the scene. Because there were many people who came, Huo Yaowen was in charge of the writers and newspaper friends he invited, while Luo Qiaozhen was in charge of receiving the guests she invited.
After Huo Yaowen beckoned Gu Long and Wo Longsheng and others, who had just arrived from Taiwan, to go in, Luo Qiaozhen led a middle-aged man in his fifties to come over.
Luo Qiaozhen introduced: "President, this is Chairman Qiu Degen of Hong Kong Far Eastern Bank. ”
Huo Yaowen stepped forward with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Mr. Qiu, hello, hello, thank you so much for coming to participate in this educational charity performance." ”
Qiu Degen was amazed: "President Huo is really young and talented, and it is really remarkable to be able to care about Hong Kong's public welfare education at such a young age!"
Huo Yaowen said modestly: "Mr. Qiu is too famous, I just did a small part. ”
"Haha, if this is all a small effort, then how can it be considered full strength?" Qiu Degen laughed.
Speaking of which, this Boss Qiu is also a powerful person.
In the run on Hong Kong a few years ago, Boss Qiu's Far Eastern Bank was also greatly affected and was on the verge of bankruptcy, but Boss Qiu is also a decisive person, knowing that the bank is his own foundation, and there must be no mistakes, so he directly sold all the more than a dozen theaters and theaters with excellent business, and transferred a large amount of funds to fill the bank's deficit, and finally got through the difficulties.
Since then, Boss Qiu and Far Eastern Bank have been in a strong position.
In 1966, the 17-storey Far Eastern Bank Building was built in the New Territories, and branches of the Far Eastern Bank were set up in Yuen Long and Hong Kong and Kowloon. He also bought the "Lai Yuen Playground" in Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon for HK$1.5 million, and spent a huge amount of money to renovate and rebuild it, becoming a new cash cow under its umbrella.
It can be said that Yau Degong is one of the few new top tycoons in Hong Kong in recent years.
Huo Yaowen smiled: "Mr. Qiu said he was joking. ”
"Then I won't bother Mr. Huo too much, you, as the host, are very busy today. Qiu Degen glanced around, there were quite a few people, and he didn't talk too much, turned around and walked towards the venue.
Huo Yaowen hurriedly said, "Director Luo helped me send Mr. Qiu in." ”
"Yes, President. Luo Qiaozhen nodded.
...
At this moment, most of the guests in the dense guest seats in front of the stage were already seated at this time, and there were at least sixty or seventy people at a glance.
As soon as Dong Chee-hwa sat down, he saw Li Xiaohe sitting next to him, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are here today, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Li Xiaohe glanced sideways, saw that it was Dong Chee-hwa, and smiled: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know how Mr. Dong is doing recently?"
Tung Chee-hwa said: "My father's body has always been very tough, but it is better than Mr. Li, who fell off the boat in the early years. ”
Tung Chee-hwa's father is Dong Haoyun, one of the Hong Kong ship kings, and he is also the earliest ship king in Hong Kong, and his fame in the early years was much louder than that of Bao Yugang, but at this time he was already old and weak, unable to support such a big business, and gradually gave up the throne of the Hong Kong ship king to Bao Daheng, who has risen strongly in recent years.
"It's better to take care of your body. Li Xiaohe sighed.
He was born in the Lee Hysan family, one of the four major families in Hong Kong, and is not only the big boss of Hong Kong TVB Broadcasting Co., Ltd., but also serves as a director of British American Tobacco Co., Ltd., Cathay Pacific Airways and Shanghai Commercial Bank.
Originally, Li Xiaohe was not invited, but the reason why he came over today was mainly because Jade Channel broadcast this charity performance live, and he, as the big boss, must have come to see it in person.
As one of the directors of the TV station, Uncle Shao Liu, also came over at this moment, and he gradually shifted his heart from Shaw Brothers Film Company to TVB this year, because the TV station made more money.
According to the original history, in two years, Shao Liushu will take most of the shares of Li Xiaohe's TV station, and then achieve his unrivaled position in the Hong Kong TV field for the next 30 years.
...
Most of the guests who came today are the second generation of wealthy families, and they also know Luo Qiaozhen, so at her invitation, they will gladly come to participate in this educational charity performance.
Although they are all second generations, they will be the leading figures in Hong Kong in the next ten to twenty years.
Like Dong Chee-hwa, the son of Dong Chuanwang, Bao Peiqing and Bao Peirong, the daughters of the charter boat king, the hard-working son of Lin Baixin of Lixin Company, and Huo Zhenting, the eldest son of Huo Guantai, the bigwig with the same surname as Huo Yaowen, and so on......
Even Li Fu, who established the Far Eastern Securities Exchange not long ago, also came to participate, he met Luo Qiaozhen's father in his early years, and cooperated with Luo Wenhui when the stock exchange was established.
In the eyes of these wealthy families, although this educational charity performance was held in the name of Fok Yiuwen and the Hong Kong Education Foundation, it was more favored by "Luo Qiaozhen".
In the eyes of the second generation of those wealthy families, many people are speculating about the relationship between Huo Yaowen and Luo Qiaozhen.
After all, what kind of character Luo Qiaozhen is, as people they often come into contact with, they are naturally clear, and holding such a large-scale charity performance in Hong Kong is not like Luo Qiaozhen's style.
So it's not Luo Qiaozhen's style, then it must be Luo Qiaozhen for Huo Yaowen of the Education Foundation, this guess is very reasonable, so many people are talking about it in private.
In addition to these wealthy families that Luo Qiaozhen knows, for such a big educational charity event, the political circles have naturally come to many big names for political achievements, such as the Director of Education, who has been cooperating with the Foundation, and David Abel of the Chief Secretary of the Department representing the Governor of Hong Kong, members of the Central District and several Justice of the Peace also arrived as scheduled.
And Jin Yong, Gu Long, Yi Shu, Wo Longsheng, Zhang Ailing, Lin Yanni, Shen Baoxin... Everyone else also came, and Huo Yaowen also invited Chen Fan, Zhang Menghuan, Yu Yangxin, and others, who met at the Gulong Wine Banquet not long ago.
As time went on, the guests arrived more or less the same.
Luo Qiaozhen sent someone over to inform Huo Yaowen, who was still waiting outside, and asked him to come over and prepare for the preparation, and after the two emcees came to the stage to speak, he would be the first person to speak on stage.
