The Mandarin Hotel, at a charity banquet.

When Huo Yaowen hurriedly came, Luo Qiaozhen hurriedly pulled his arm and said, "You are finally here, you are the host, how can the next banquet start!"

The banquet started in the form of a buffet, anyway, none of the people who came to participate were specially to eat, they were all shuttling between many celebrities with goblets and introducing each other, although most of the people who came this time were the second generation of wealthy families, but there were still many tycoons of the older generation.

"Let's go. ”

Huo Yaowen exhaled, tidied up his clothes, and walked behind Luo Qiaozhen towards the banquet hall.

Just now, he went backstage to a performance and said hello and thanked the guests who came to perform.

Most of the singers and artists in this performance were invited by Li Hanxiang, or invited by the invitation issued by the foundation, but no matter what, people can come to give him Huo Yaowen face, and he was in a hurry to say hello before, but after the speech, he must be familiar with the other party.

There are a lot of guests at the banquet, but they are also divided into circles, like Jin Yong, Gu Long, Zhang Ailing, they are in the cultural circle, and people like Lin Jianming, Huo Zhenting and others belong to the business circle.

Luo Qiaozhen held Huo Yaowen's arm, shuttled between the guests, and talked and laughed with these people, so comfortable, Huo Yaowen's funny and handsome appearance attracted many people to look at him.

Some second-generation people who doubt the relationship between the two understand why Luo Qiaozhen doesn't look down on the son of the He family, but instead chooses such a Huo Yaowen who has no background.

Luo Qiaozhen led Huo Yaowen to several small circles that were talking, and she smiled and introduced the nearest one: "President, let me introduce you to Mr. Dong Jianhua, the executive director of OOCL Container Line. ”

Dong Jianhua!

Huo Yaowen's eyes were scorching, looking at the man in front of him who was about thirty years old and in the prime of life, thinking of his achievements in the future, he was also stunned for a second, and then said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Dong, thank you very much for coming to participate in this charity education performance." ”

This is not an ordinary person, his father Dong Haoyun is known as the king of Hong Kong ships, and at the same time, like the king of chartered ships, he is "one of the seven great ship kings in the world".

As early as the late '50s, Dong Chuanwang's company had a close relationship with the Chinese national flower, the plum blossom, on its ship, and this special relationship allowed OOCL to develop in East Asia.

At its peak, OOCL had a fleet of more than 150 freighters with a carrying capacity of more than 10 million tons, was one of the world's seven largest steamship lines, and once owned the largest ship in the world's shipbuilding history, the Sea Giant.

"President Fok is polite, as a member of Hong Kong, I naturally have to do my part to Hong Kong's charity education. ”

Dong Jianhua first said politely, and suddenly noticed that Luo Qiaozhen was holding Huo Yaowen's arm, smiled in his heart, and said: "Huo Sheng can care about Hong Kong's charity education at a young age, plus Huo Sheng is dignified and a university teacher, he is just a young and promising." ”

"Mr. Dong has an overreputation. Huo Yaowen said modestly.

After the two exchanged a few words, Luo Qiaozhen introduced Huo Yaowen to a few others.

"This is Mr. Lee and Lee of Cathay Pacific..."

"This is Mr. Shao Yifu of Shaw Brothers Film Company..."

"This is Mr. Lei Juekun, the chairman of Kowloon Development..."

......

Following.

Major newspapers in Hong Kong have reported that yesterday afternoon, the Hong Kong Charity Education Performance at Queen's Road Plaza, those bigwigs who were present to support the gathering, as well as singers and artists who performed for charity education, and the most reported was naturally Fok Yiu-man, the president of the foundation.

The major newspapers once turned over the articles that Huo Yaowen had arranged for Zhu Wenqing to ask writers to write again, and the articles written by the writers invited one by one were naturally mainly to praise Huo Yaowen and his good deeds, which has become the basis for these newspapers to praise Huo Yaowen.

For several days, even on the eve of the end of the Hong Kong Festival, it can be said that Huo Yaowen was praised as a lotus flower.

Huo Yaowen's personal experience, including "1999" written in the United States, and the World Philosophical Congress he attended in Vienna, have all been reported on it.

Take Ming Pao, which has a good relationship with Huo Yaowen, as an example, wrote in the latest issue of the newspaper: "... Mr. Fok Yiu-man is a rare young talent in Hong Kong for decades, not only passionate about philanthropic education, but also a world-renowned philosopher, educator, science fiction, romance, horror, martial arts writer.

In the process of participating in the International Writing Program held by Ms. Nie Hualing, it only took half a month to write the science fiction classic "1999 - Our Journey is the Sea of Stars", which sold an astonishing 2 million copies in the United States.

In terms of personal career, Mr. Fok Yaowen is also a great businessman, and the first book "Cloud" published by the established Yaowen Book Company sold more than 400,000 copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then "Autumn Fairy Tale" written by Ms. Zhang Wanjun also sold more than 100,000 copies......"

And the rest of the newspapers are also like "Ming Pao", touting Huo Yaowen, and for a while, people from all walks of life in Hong Kong are all talking about this popular young talent in Hong Kong!

...

Huo Yaowen sat in the office of the foundation, looking at the praise of him on more than a dozen newspapers from various newspapers in front of him, not to mention that it was really good, at least this mood was very good.

"Why are you still reading the newspapers, how are you being touted?"

Luo Qiaozhen walked in with a step, and when she saw Huo Yaowen sitting there reading the newspaper, she said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Don't look at it, we should talk about the next development of the foundation." ”

Huo Yaowen put away the newspaper, looked up and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Luo Qiaozhen said: "The foundation's next investment. ”

Hearing that it was investment, Huo Yaowen nodded, glanced at the closed door, and asked, "What about Director Chen?"

"Director Chen said that he didn't understand investment, so he wouldn't talk about this aspect of things. ”

Luo Qiaozhen said this, paused and said: "I think what Director Chen said is very right, you and I are not very good at investment, the foundation has been busy with the first batch of students and charity performances, the foundation's investment and financial management has been temporarily stranded, and then I want to hire some professionals who have a very good understanding of foundation investment." ”

The investment mentioned here is to invest in the name of the Hong Kong Charity Education Foundation and the donations donated by others, so as to make profits to maintain the long-term operation of the foundation.

Charitable foundations should not only study the knowledge of dispersing wealth, but also pay attention to the knowledge of accumulating wealth.

The Nobel Foundation has a history of more than 60 years, and if it were not for investment and financial management, the Nobel Foundation's money would have been spent long ago.

Therefore, an important task of the Nobel Foundation in the early days of its establishment was how to make money make money, so as to ensure the long-term and stable distribution of the Nobel Prize.

This is why Fok Yiu-man set up a charitable education foundation in the first place, instead of Oxfam, which only accepts external donations and materials like Po Leung Kuk.

Huo Yaowen nodded and said, "What you said is right, professional matters should be handed over to professionals to solve." This time, we have received more than 1 million donations, and just now the people from the finance department came to tell me that now the foundation has a total of about 3.48 million yuan after deducting the salaries of employees and the expenses of the charity association, and if this money is not invested in financial management, I think it will not take long to spend it. Therefore, find professionals as soon as possible to allocate and invest the money reasonably to ensure that the foundation can continue to operate in a long-term and stable manner. ”

Luo Qiaozhen responded: "What the president said is right, I am already contacting relevant professionals." ”

Huo Yaowen said with a smile: "Well, the matter of the foundation is more troublesome Director Luo, I have been on leave for several days, and the school is urging me to go back to class." ”

Luo Qiaozhen said: "President Huo, don't worry, I will watch the things in the meeting." ”

Huo Yaowen hesitated for a few seconds, thought for a while, and said: "It's better like this, I usually don't have much time in the foundation, but Director Luo is different, I appoint you as the vice president and executive director of the foundation, and most of the affairs in the foundation will be handled by you, and if there is anything you need me to do, I will be notified when I am needed." ”

As soon as she heard this, Luo Qiaozhen raised her eyebrows, muttered for a few seconds, and then said with a light smile: "Okay, then I will be disrespectful." ”

However, Director Luo still needs to pay more attention to his body, charity is not an overnight thing, there are still more than 100,000 children in Hong Kong who have not gone to school, we can't arrange all at once, everything must be done slowly. ”
