Coming out with Charles Kao to greet the senior executives of CUHK, Wei Xiong has studied at CUHK for four years, and most of them know each other, but there is no need for Charles Kao to introduce him.

After a brief greeting, the group walked into the office building.

Because there was less than half an hour before the donation ceremony began, Wei Xiong and others came to the conference room and chatted about the use of donations.

I arrived at the auditorium only 10 minutes before the ceremony began.

This large hall is newly built by CUHK, and the area is not small, and it can seat more than 1,000 people at the same time, but it is full of people at this time.

Even the aisles except the middle aisle were crowded.

Most of them are students, and a small part are teachers. In addition, there are more than a dozen media outlets that have been approved to enter the auditorium.

Including local media such as Phoenix Satellite TV, TVB, "Daily Daily", "Ming Pao", etc.,

There are also international media such as the Asahi Shimbun, Lianhe Zaobao, and The New York Times. This shows the level of attention this event has received.

In fact, it is not the event itself that is of interest.

It's Wei Xiong.

Because of the shocking heart attack behavior during Black Monday in the United States, Wei Xiong became famous all over the world almost overnight.

Just like the President of the United States.

As the top leader of the most powerful country on the planet, there are few people who do not know who the president of the United States is.

And the label given to Wei Xiong by the media is the richest person in the world.

In the latest issue of Forbes' wealth list, Wei Xiong topped the list with $135 billion, surpassing the total of the next 50 richest people.

At the end of the ranking, it was specifically pointed out that Wei Xiong's wealth was not fully counted.

And as the popularity expands to the whole world.

Wei Xiong's deeds are also known to more and more people.

At the age of 21, he released his first all-independent music album, breaking the sales record set by Hong Kong singers in Asia and even the world.

And earn your first pot of gold.

At the age of 22, he used the first pot of gold earned from the album to establish Media Asia Records and Webster Films.

Webster Films' first film, "The True Colors of Heroes", written by Wei Xiong, broke the box office record in Hong Kong.

At the end of the year, Webster Film became the largest film company in Hong Kong.

At the age of 23, he took most of the company's funds to gamble in the United States.

Eventually, he made a $100 billion spree on Black Monday and became the biggest and most successful financial investor the planet has ever seen.

In addition to these.

Wei Xiong is also known as the 'master of pop music', and every song he writes is recognized as a classic.

Nowadays, half of the Hong Kong music scene is singing his songs.

He was also the winner of the Academy Award for Best Screenplay.

and is the first Chinese to win an Oscar.

He is also an excellent manga artist, and he created the famous sports manga "Slam Dunk" that has swept Japan and the world.

Now Wei Xiong is not only in the eyes of Hong Kong people,

In the eyes of many Europeans and Americans, it is a legend, and there are many people who regard Wei Xiong as an idol, including the United States, which has been ravaged by Wei Xiong.

Because of this,

In the past few months, Wei Xiong has been regularly featured in major mainstream media in Europe and the United States.

The hour hand pointed to 3:30.

A middle-aged man walked out of the backstage with a microphone in hand, and the auditorium, which was originally a little noisy, instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at the middle-aged man.

"Almost three years ago,"

"A young man, like most of the students in the room, graduated from CUHK and entered the society. ”

His first profession was as an advertising planner. ”

"A profession of a very ordinary nature and a very ordinary salary, no one could see anything different about him at that time. ”

"Except maybe it's handsome. ”

"Hehehe......"

Immediately, there was a light laugh from the audience.

But he only did this ordinary job for a short time, because he released his first music album written independently. ”

And began his own legendary experience. ”

"Now he's back, back to his alma mater with his success and gifts. Let us have Mr. Wei Xiong and our esteemed Principal. ”

Accompanied by warm applause.

Wei Xiong and Kao Kun walked out of the backstage together.

After waving to the audience, the two sat down in the center of the stage, on the two sofas that had been set up in advance, and the host also sat on the other sofa.

"I think everyone sitting here already knows. ”

"Today, Mr. Wei will donate US$100 million to CUHK, and as a token of our solemnity and gratitude, we will now hold a small donation ceremony. ”

"Miss Manners, please. ”

As soon as the host's voice fell, a hostess walked out with a cardboard more than half a meter long, on which was printed a donation of $100 million.

I saw Wei Xiong reach out and take the cardboard, and then hand it to Kao.

Then the two stood behind the cardboard for reporters to take pictures. The process was simple, but to be honest, Wei Xiong felt that it seemed silly.

But Hong Kong people eat this set.

He can only follow the crowd.

After taking a photo, Miss Manners took the cardboard again and walked back to the backstage.

Wei Xiong and Kao Kun also sat down on the sofa again.

At this time, Charles Kao picked up the microphone and said, "As the Vice-Chancellor of CUHK, I am very proud of CUHK to be able to produce such a talent as Mr. Wei. ”

He also thanked Mr. Wai for his donation to CUHK. ”

"This is the largest single donation ever received by CUHK, and in order to make better use of this donation, the University will set up a separate Finance Lady. ”

"Make sure every penny is spent. ”

"I'm glad to hear Principal Gao say that. ”

"I spent four years at CUHK and it holds so many memories that I still think about it from time to time. ”

"In my heart, CUHK is my other home. ”

"And I can't get to where I am today because of the training of CUHK, so I don't think it's okay to do what I can. ”

"Mr. Wei said it so well. ”

The host chimed in and continued, "The main thing today is, of course, the donation ceremony, but there is another request beyond the ceremony. ”

"I just hope that Mr. Wei can share some of his successful experiences with the younger students. ”

"A lot of people are going to go out into society in the near future. ”

"Perhaps after listening to what Mr. Wei said today, after they enter the society, they will be able to encounter fewer setbacks and embrace success faster. ”

"I don't dare to ask for it. ”

Wei Xiong said modestly.

In fact, he was a little depressed at this time.

When he pledged to donate US$100 million to CUHK, CUHK replied that he wanted to hold a donation ceremony, and he didn't think much about it at the time.

I thought it was a simple ceremony, so I agreed.

It wasn't until just now that he learned that the so-called donation ceremony was actually a symposium, and the real donation ceremony would not last more than 5 minutes at most.

What else can he say about this?

You can't turn your face on the spot and walk away.

Besides, CUHK's intentions in doing so are also good, and if he refuses, he will inevitably appear to be too stingy and self-cherishing.

"Albert Einstein once said: success is 99% perspiration and 1% genius. ”

I believe that 99% of the people present have heard this sentence. ”

"Not to mention 99% sweat or 1% genius, which is more important, one thing is for sure, a person who wants to succeed is inseparable from hard work. ”

"Actually, I don't have a lot of so-called success experience. ”

"I've said on many occasions before that young people should read more books because you never know what the future holds. ”

"Here's an example. ”

"Today you went to Taiping Mountain to climb the mountain, and you were accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, if you have read the relevant emergency treatment methods in the book,"

"You can deal with it yourself first and buy yourself time. ”

"If not. ”

"The outcome can be the cost of lives. ”

"I often hear people shouting the slogan - life is in movement, but in my opinion - life is about learning, and human life is limited. ”

"But knowledge is limitless. ”

"A person who is full of wealth and wealth, even if he is blind in both eyes and disabled in his hands and feet, it does not prevent him from realizing the value of his life. ”

"It's like Stephen 74 Hawking. ”

"He's in a wheelchair right now, and he can't move except for the faint sound of his mouth, but he's still a famous scientist. ”

"If Hawking were just an ordinary person. ”

"If he hadn't found the value of his existence in scientific research, would he have survived until now with his whole body paralyzed?"

"I don't think so. ”

"The ancients once said: There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. ”

"It's not that there is gold and beautiful women in the books, but that by mastering the things in the books, you can get what you want with your own hands. ”

"Including gold and beauty. ”

"It may be a bit cheesy for me to say that, but it's realistic. ”

"There seem to be a lot of male classmates here today. ”

"Let me tell you, picking up girls now is also a technical job, I don't have any eloquence, I can't quote scriptures, if I were a beauty, I wouldn't choose you. ”

"Hehehe......"

The audience erupted in laughter, and even Charles Kao shook his head and chuckled.

He has been working abroad and is more Western-oriented.

I don't think there's anything wrong with this innocuous joke.

"I say all this mainly to emphasize the importance of reading books, no matter what type they are, as long as they are beneficial. ”

"But you can't stop studying. ”

"If you memorize a book and don't know what it's about, it's obviously useless, and you should use your brain more when you read a book. ”

"If you don't understand something, you can ask your classmates and teachers. ”

"I don't think there's going to be a teacher who turns you away. ”

Seeing that Wei Xiong's speech was over, Kao Kun took over and said, "Mr. Wei is right, everything in this world has two sides. ”

"Reading alone is only good, not bad. ”

Soon the students spent most of their free time playing ball, partying, or other fun. Of course, I'm not saying you can't relax. ”

"But I hope this relaxation is moderate. ”

"College is the stage when a person's mind is truly mature, and it is also the stage when people make the final preparations for the future life. ”

"So I hope that students can enrich themselves as much as possible during this time. ”

"Don't hate less when you use the book. ”

Also, as Mr. Wei said, you should think more when reading books, and if you don't understand something, you can ask the teacher, and any teacher can do it. ”

"Here I also advocate it. ”

"As long as it's an academic-related issue, if you understand, I hope the teachers won't refuse, even if the student is someone you don't know. ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The audience burst into warm applause.

The moderator spoke

"Mr. Wei and the principal have said very well, and next, we will leave the opportunity to the audience, and those who are named can ask about the topics they are interested in. “

"Of course, hopefully it's not a matter of gossip. ”

"Hehehe......"

With a burst of chuckles, the audience lowered to look, all hands raised, the host glanced at it, and said, "The girl in the third row." ”

"Yes, that's the one in the blue striped shirt. ”

With the host's voice, a staff member immediately walked over and handed the microphone to the girl.

The girl who was named seemed a little nervous.

Or excited, I saw her holding the microphone with both hands and said, "Hello principal, hello Mr. Wei, hello host, I want to ask Mr. Wei,"

"I'm from the Department of Philosophy. ”

"The philosophy department is notoriously hard to find a job. ”

"Can you give me some advice on your future job search?"

"You're a graduate this year?"

"Yes. ”

"In fact, it is a misconception that it is difficult to find a job in the philosophy department, and philosophy students have an advantage in language and literature skills, and there are many career options. ”

"You can be an editor, a teacher, a company administrator, and you can also take the public service exam. ”

"Can I work for your company in the future?"

Wei Xiong smiled slightly.

"Absolutely. ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

There was a round of applause from the audience, and then a boy with glasses was named by the host: "In the middle of the second row, the boy in red." ”

"Hello principal, hello Mr. Wei, good host. ”

"I am a student in the Department of Electronic Information in the School of Engineering, and I heard that most of the $100 million donated by Mr. Wei this time will be used for scientific research in the School of Engineering. ”

"It seems that Mr. Wei asked for it. ”

"I would like to ask Mr. Wei, why do you have such a request?"

"Thank you. ”

Glancing at the boy sitting down, Wei Xiong smiled and said, "This classmate asked a very good question, in fact, this question is also what I have always wanted to say." ”

"In the sixties and seventies. ”

"Hong Kong's economy is dominated by low-tech, labor-intensive light industry, like the well-known Li Chaoren, who started with plastic flowers. ”

"After entering the eighties. ”

"Hong Kong's economy is diversifying. ”

"The financial industry, the entertainment industry, shipping, tourism, real estate, etc., can be said to be a hundred flowers blooming, accounting for an increasing proportion of the economy. ”

"However, the traditional light industry is facing rising wages, rising costs, and declining product competitiveness. ”

"As it stands. ”

"Hong Kong's labor costs will continue to rise, which means that the labor-intensive industrial structure will no longer be suitable for the new situation of Hong Kong's economic development. ”

"I've been hearing some voices lately. ”

"To say that we want to deindustrialize Hong Kong means to make Hong Kong a pure service-oriented economic structure. I beg to differ. ”

"Perhaps relying on industries such as finance, entertainment, real estate, and tourism,

"Hong Kong's strategic location allows Hong Kong to maintain a relatively rapid economic development in a short period of time, but this development is difficult to sustain. ”

Hong Kong, along with South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore, is now known as the Asian Tigers. ”

"In these four economies. ”

"Singapore and Hong Kong are the most similar, both started with an entrepot trade economic model, and the current economic structure is very similar to Hong Kong. ”

"But in terms of geography. ”

"Singapore is not inferior to Hong Kong, or even better, which means that Singapore will compete fiercely with Hong Kong in the future. ”

"Because it is impossible to have two financial centers in one area. ”

"Also, let's look at the industry in Singapore. ”

"At a time when labor-intensive industries were in trouble, the Singapore government did not propose deindustrialization, but actively took advantage of its geographical location. ”

"Vigorously develop the petrochemical industry. ”

"In addition to the petrochemical industry, the development of other industrial types is also not small, such as the Jurong Industrial Zone, I believe many people have heard of it. ”

"This is the largest industrial area in Singapore.

"There are many types of industries, including shipbuilding, ship repair, oil refining, steel, cement, chemicals, car assembly, cables and food. ”

"According to Singapore's just-released economic report. ”

"Singapore's 15 industrial zones directly contributed 31% to GDP last year and employed about one-third of the country's workforce. ”

"In this case, how should Hong Kong outperform Singapore in the competition?"

"It's simple. ”

"While vigorously developing the financial industry, we should transform the type of industry, not deindustrialization. ”

Speaking of which, Wei Xiong listened.

The audience also burst into warm applause at this time.

Wei Xiong smiled slightly, raised his hand and signaled, and the applause in the audience immediately stopped.

"In fact, Hong Kong also has its own advantages. ”

"That is to be backed by the huge market of 1 billion people in the mainland. In the eyes of most people at the scene, the mainland is synonymous with poverty. ”

"But don't forget, 30 years ago, Hong Kong was also poor. ”

"Now the mainland is undergoing reform and opening up. ”

"Of course, some people are skeptical about the sustainability of this policy, but we can assume that it will continue, which is entirely possible. ”

"At that time, Hong Kong will be backed by a huge market. ”

"In the future, the high-tech industry with the electronics and information industry as the core will be the mainstream of scientific and technological development, and these are technology-intensive industries. ”

"It is also the direction of Hong Kong's industrial transformation. ”

"That's why I'm asking for most of the donation to go to the School of Engineering, which is so scarce in Hong Kong. ”

"If you want to make a smooth industrial transition. ”

"A large pool of relevant talent and technology is essential. ”
