In order to cultivate more game and software development talents, Dongfang Electronics Co., Ltd. cooperated with three institutions, HKU, CUHK and Hong Kong Polytechnic, to establish the Oriental IT Institute.

The Oriental IT Institute is not a statutory post-secondary college, but a private vocational training institution, and the curriculum mainly teaches computer programming and other related content, whether it is games or software, which needs to be implemented through computer programming. Hong Kong is too short of computer software talents, taking CUHK as an example, the number of students enrolled in computing majors is still less than 100 per year after the expansion this year, and the enrollment scale of computer-related majors in HKU and Polytechnic is also very limited.

As the chairman of the preparatory committee, Li Xuan is preparing to build the second polytechnic in Hong Kong, the City Polytechnic, but it is far from quenching the thirst of the near, and it will be a year or two before the enrollment can really be realized.

Faced with this somewhat embarrassing situation, Li Xuan has long had his own plan to set up a school to train professionals, and after nearly half a year of preparation, Oriental IT College finally officially began to enroll students before the end of the year. Li Xuan did not set up a higher education institution recognized by the Hong Kong government, that is a matter for the government to be responsible for, he established a professional IT training institution.

Of course, the Oriental IT College, unlike the institutions that cheat money such as X Big X Bird in later generations, relies on advertisements everywhere to attract people to sign up, as long as the money is collected, it cannot be returned, and the teachers are just leaving to deal with things, and the knowledge may not be as high as that of some students. The Oriental IT School, founded by Li Xuan, invites teachers from the University of Hong Kong and CUHK to teach, but the curriculum is more practical than that set up by the university.

The course is divided into two types: a 6-month basic course and a 9-month intensive course, and is taught on a full-time basis. The university cultivates a comprehensive quality of morality, intelligence, physical and beauty in students. However, the Oriental IT Institute only cultivates professional knowledge, and condenses the courses taught in the university into several years into more than half a year. There is also a lot of hands-on time every day.

It can be said that the purpose of the Oriental IT Academy is not to make money at all, but to quickly cultivate a group of available computer talents. If the student is able to obtain a distinction grade at the end of the exam. Dongfang Electronics also offers jobs that pay well.

The tuition fee of the Oriental IT College is not cheap, the 6-month basic class costs 6,000 yuan, the 9-month intensive class costs 9,000 yuan, and the tuition fee for one year of university is only four or five thousand yuan. In order to ensure the quality of teaching, the IT School adopts a small class size, with 20 students per class, and originally planned to open 2 basic classes and intensive classes in the first phase.

However, the high tuition fees did not stop everyone's enthusiasm for registration, and the number of applicants exceeded 500 in less than three days after the enrollment information was announced. Hyped by a recent series of information. Entrepreneurship is undoubtedly equated with making a fortune by many, and the gaming industry is considered a big gold mine.

Before, many people suffered from no technical foundation, and could only stare at others to succeed, but now it is rare to have such an opportunity, no matter how high the tuition fee is, they have to grab this ticket. But computer is a very professional subject, not everyone is suitable for learning, at least you must have a strong logical thinking ability, if you are proficient in mathematics, it is better. The investment promotion office can only patiently persuade some students who really have no potential.

However, Li Xuan has been very busy lately, and he has no time to care about the affairs of the Oriental IT College. He is finally ending his long-distance love run for more than two years and is ready to walk into the grave of marriage. Before officially getting married, of course. There is also an engagement step.

According to Li Xuan's own point of view, the engagement only requires the parents of both parties to meet, everyone sits together for a meal, and then invites a group of friends to have an engagement party. Officially tell everyone that the groom and bride have already known as the flower (the name of the grass has the master).

But the older generation definitely doesn't approve of such a rashness, especially since the Li family is now a super wealthy family in Fujia Xiangjiang, and they can't lose face in this matter. Therefore, Li Xuan's parents had already chosen an auspicious day for engagement with their in-laws

According to the traditional rituals of Hong Kong. Li Xuan was woken up early in the morning. Then the whole family first worshiped their ancestors under the auspices of Li Haichuan, the head of the family. From Kee Wah Bakery, Hong Kong's most famous Chinese cake shop with a history of more than 40 years, custom-made gift cakes are placed in the center of the table. This is one of the dowry gifts to be sent to the woman's house later. The whole family solemnly offered incense to their ancestors together, praying for Li Xuan's future marriage to be happy.

10 a.m. Accompanied by relatives and friends, Li Xuan took various dowry gifts and set off. The number of people who go to the woman's house is also very particular, usually 6 or 8 people in an even number. Rides should also be even-numbered, but avoid 4 and 8, usually 2 or 6. Li Xuan chose three extended Lincoln and three extended Cadillac, two in front to carry people, and four in the back to carry dowry gifts.

The groom and the matchmaker had to sit in the first car, and Li Xuan asked Mr. Ma Lin, the Vice-Chancellor of CUHK, to be his matchmaker, and Ma Lao readily agreed. When the car drove a hundred meters downstairs from Zhong Chuhong's house, it stopped and fired a cannon to inform the woman that she was coming.

The Zhong family had been waiting for a long time, and immediately fired a cannon in response, and the car slowly drove to the bottom of the Zhong family's residential building. Ma Lao, the matchmaker, got out of the car first, but Li Xuan couldn't get out of the car directly. Zhong Chuhong's two younger sisters obediently stepped forward to open the car door before he could get out of the car. And Zhong Chuhong's younger brother was already waiting by the car door with a golden basin, Li Xuan washed his hands, gave each of the three of them a red envelope, and finally could go upstairs.

The Zhong family's parents and Li Xuan's parents have actually known each other for a long time, but everyone still got to know each other under the introduction of the matchmaker. Ma Lao, a master of Chinese culture, is a matchmaker, and the auspicious words come as soon as he opens his mouth, and every sentence is very elegant and festive, which sets off the atmosphere very well.

The man carried the dowry into Zhong's house one by one and displayed it in the living room. Then Ma Lao, the matchmaker, took the bronzing wedding card and handed over all kinds of dowry, gold jewelry, and gift money to the bride's father one by one.

Most Hong Kong families choose to marry with a small appointment, and the male family only sends clothes, jewelry, cakes and other dowry gifts to the woman's family. The big appointment is also called the big gift, the dowry is more exquisite, there are 12 kinds of gift cakes, coconut, tea, blessing yuan, goose, longevity noodles, incense candles, seafood, Beijing fruits, rice, etc., each of which has a meaning.

For example, once the tea allusion marriage contract is concluded, the woman will never regret it, and the coconut takes the meaning of "having a father and a son". The gift cake is the main gift in the bride price, and the woman should give the gift cake given by the man's family to relatives and friends, that is, the so-called "pie cake", and announce to relatives and friends that her daughter is about to get married.

After the levy, the Zhong family offered all the dowry gifts on the god table, and then invited all the man's guests to sit down, and Li Xuan, the groom official, was to accompany the last seat. At this time, the bride Zhong Chuhong finally came out of the court under the guidance of a "blessed person". She held sweet tea in her hand and toasted tea to the man's guests one by one.

After the tea, Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong exchanged engagement rings in the presence of relatives and friends on both sides, and the groom first put a ring on the middle finger of the bride's right hand, and then the bride put a ring on the middle finger of the groom's left hand. After that, the mother-in-law first put a gold chain on the bride, and then the mother-in-law put a gold chain on the groom, implying that the two will always be together.

Li Xuan looked at his bright and moving girlfriend, this will be his lifelong lover in the future, he couldn't help but reach out and gently hold Zhong Chuhong's face, bow his head and kiss it.

"Oh!" There was a chuckle around her, Zhong Chuhong hurriedly pushed her boyfriend away, and in an instant her face was covered with a shy flush. She stared down at the tip of her shoe, not daring to look up.

"Come here and put on the incense!" Zhong Chuhong's uncle spoke out at the right time to relieve his niece.

When the woman's family worships the ancestors, she needs to ask the bride's uncle to light the incense candles. Father Zhong, Mother Zhong, the bride, and Li Xuan, the new son-in-law, put incense together, informed the ancestors that the marriage had been decided, and prayed for blessings.

At this point, the entire employment process came to an end, and the Zhong family prepared a sumptuous engagement banquet for the relatives and friends who came to see each other. Although Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong are not married, after they are engaged, the Zhong and Li families can officially be commensurate with their children. In fact, when the parents of both parties choose the date, the engagement date and the wedding date are set together, and the wedding will be held on May 10 next year.

Maybe it was Li Xuan's previous act of kissing his girlfriend that made Zhong Chuhong a little unable to wipe his face, and ignored Li Xuan throughout the luncheon, but kept staying by Li's mother's side to pick up vegetables for her future mother-in-law. The happy scene of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also reassured Zhong's mother, who was a little apprehensive, after all, the Zhong family was not as high as the current Li family. If the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good, the daughter will inevitably be angry when she marries.

After eating the engagement banquet, the man's relatives and friends should say goodbye and leave, and the woman has already prepared a return gift. Father Zhong did not accept all the bride price of the Li family, but only accepted a small part, and the rest of the gift money was transferred to the matchmaker Ma Lao along with other return gifts.

"Your father-in-law loves his daughter very much, but he is a hard-hearted person with light money!" Ma Lin smiled at Li Xuan in the car and handed him back the red envelope containing the gift money.

The Li family paid 28.88 million Hong Kong dollars as a dowry this time, which was much higher than the 10 million dowry that caused a sensation in Hong Kong three years ago when the Huo family asked for Hong Kong sister Zhu Lingling. Even if all these money are used in thousand-yuan bills, it will cost 288 bundles, and Li Xuan will naturally not hold a bunch of banknotes to ask for relatives like an upstart, that would be too stupid.

He wrote a few HSBC cash cheques in red envelopes. That's right, not a check for 28.88 million, but into one 80,000, one 800,000, one 8 million and two 10 million, a total of 5 checks.

As a matchmaker, Ma Lao naturally knows the amount of gift money that the Li family has packaged. It is justified for the Zhong family to accept the bride price, but such a huge gift money is inevitably suspected of selling their daughter. As a result, Zhong's father only accepted a fraction of 80,000 yuan in gift money, and the rest of the checks were all returned.

This made Zhong Chuhong more confident after marrying into the Li family, and the Zhong family did not marry for the sake of wealth. It's just that in the face of a huge sum of 28.88 million, it also takes a lot of mind to be unmoved.

Li Xuan smiled indifferently, since he married someone else's precious daughter, he naturally would not treat his future father-in-law and mother-in-law badly. (To be continued......)
