Chapter 12: The Return to Hong Kong (Part I)
Today's charity reception is a charity gala jointly organized by the Hong Kong Charity Federation, the Hong Kong Red Cross Society, and Asia Television to raise funds for out-of-school children in mainland China.
Probably no one would have thought that this charity gala would be upgraded to such a high standard, and Chen Minmin, who had been fighting for a long time, even trembled a little excitedly.
"The guests attending today's charity gala are, Mr. Zhou Yuxi, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and his wife Ms. Yang Qiong, and Mr. Tang Yi, Governor of Liaodong Province!"
After Chen Minmin's slightly excited high voice, the audience immediately burst into warm applause, and the dazzling lamppost was immediately projected on a table, and Mr. Zhou Yuxi of Hong Kong, his wife Ms. Yang Qiong, and the acting governor of Liaodong Province Tang Yi all smiled and signaled.
Tang Yi sat next to Zhou Yuxi, with a friendly smile on his face, maybe only in Hong Kong, can experience this way of attending, if it is a domestic cocktail party, it is impossible to be so "unserious", the lamppost is dazzling, as if participating in some star event, but in the same way, follow the local customs, in Hong Kong, to a certain extent, it can be said that he represents the image of domestic officials and even leaders, enlightened and more modern, is the impression that Tang Yi hopes to leave to all Hong Kong, Macao and Western media.
Hong Kong celebrities gathered at the dinner, but the most concerned by the Hong Kong media is Tang Yi, the youngest senior official in China, and it can even be said that the special attendance is not as sensational as Tang Yi's attendance at the dinner, although Hong Kong citizens do not care much about politics, but they are still very interested in high-level changes in the mainland, especially such a young high-ranking official known as the representative of the princelings, without a veil of mystery on his body, Tang Yi's every move can be said to be a news selling point, but unfortunately, in the report on this senior official, All media outlets that were able to participate in the charity gala received a notice from the Press and Publication Administration that any report on Tang Yidi would be subject to strict review by the Press and Publication Administration.
Tang Yi led a team to Hong Kong to attract investment, mainly for the renovation of the Linbei New Area in the Spring City to attract Hong Kong capital, and hoped that other capital using Hong Kong as a platform would invest and start a business in Liaodong.
Although it has never been a problem for Tang Yi to attract investment, with the rise of his status, it is impossible to rely on his mother's relationship for everything, which is unrealistic, and no matter how large the consortium is, it is impossible to spread the stall too big.
Tang Yat's visit to Hong Kong this time, in addition to several major consortia, the main target is the backbone of Hong Kong enterprises, this dinner, originally Sir Ho invited him to attend, but after hearing about it, Mr. Hong Kong Special Zhou Yuxi was enthusiastic to attend with his family, making a very ordinary dinner soon upgraded to the most important event for Hong Kong celebrities this year.
"The Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Lam Chun-wah, and his wife, Ms Wong Kit-man!"
"Mr. Wang Peirong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yongan Group!"
"Mr. Ding Chengbang and Mrs. Wu Jiehua of Dingjin Industry!"
With Chen Minmin, the master of ceremonies delicately treble. Lampposts are projected on tables.
When Tang Yi heard Mr. Wang Peirong of Yongan Group. I couldn't help but look at the next table. The old man with a white beard. is smiling and Tang Yi signaling. Tang Yi also nodded with a smile. Although Tang Yi has no good impression of some people in Yongan Group. But to this legendary old man. Tang Yi was still full of respect in his heart.
Finally. Chen Minmin's tone became even more high-pitched. "Shellerson!"
The lamppost was quickly projected to the first table in the west row. Wearing a black dress, Xue Ni is beautiful and unique. It's like a dream under the lights. Like a beautiful angel.
Although most of the notes present today are serious news places, and there are not many entertainment records, the shining lights at that moment are even more dazzling than when Tang Yi and Zhou Yusite are introduced.
No matter what the occasion, this legendary goddess of music seems to stand at the center of the world.
Most of the Hong Kong media have received the news that Xue Ni is preparing a joint venture with a mysterious figure to acquire Asia Television, and it is said that negotiations are underway, and her appearance today does not confirm this statement.
If Xue Ni can really succeed in the acquisition, it will play a huge role in promoting the Hong Kong film and television music scene and even the media industry.
However, when remembering the photos, everyone is a little curious, under the bright lamppost, who is the beautiful girl sitting next to Xueni, even if she is next to the dazzling Xueni, she is still full of confident smiles, the beautiful Xueni seems to be unable to suppress her charm, she is fashionable and sexy in a red evening dress, charming and charming, and Xueni sits together, the two are beautiful, but they are more beautiful than flowers, at that moment, the flashing lights seem to have lost their light.
"And Ms. Ye Xiaolu!" Chen Minmin finally called out the name of the mysterious guest next to Xue Ni, after all, according to the inside information she received, this young girl is likely to become their big boss, although Miss Ye is a joint venture with Xue Ni to acquire Asia TV, but Xue Ni is impossible to stay in Hong Kong to manage the TV station, and the real person who is directly responsible for the operation of the TV station in the future may be this Miss Ye, although she is a little jealous of this mysterious beautiful girl, but Chen Minmin knows that if she wants to become popular in ATV, she can't do without Miss Ye's care in the future.
Tang Yi looked at the table with a smile, after being released from the United States, Xue Ni said that she wanted to thank herself, but she immediately led a delegation to Hong Kong, but Xue Ni also took the opportunity to negotiate in Hong Kong, in fact, from beginning to end, Xue Ni handed over the acquisition negotiation to Tang Yi, she was only responsible for paying the money, where would she participate in any negotiations?
But it's okay, to meet Ye Xiaolu, how can he also be a partner, it should have been a long time ago
Check it out.
Tang Yi thought it was funny when he thought about it, probably no investor would be so hasty, the two investors had never met and became partners, and then no one asked about the negotiation, and the other person, that is, Torus behind his back, invited the team to make the acquisition.
The relationship is really a bit messy, and the people and things around me never seem to follow common sense.
Over there, Chen Minmin continued to introduce the guests.
"Mr. Chen Wanying, President of Operations of Huayi Group, and Mr. Smith, President of Huayi Group Hong Kong!"
With Chen Minmin's introduction, Tang Yi looked at Chen Wanying, a gentle middle-aged man in his early fifties, the rise of Huayi Group, in addition to Tang Yi's foresight, the more shrewd and old Qi Jie, Chen Wanying also contributed a lot, in order to retain this heavyweight business leader, the group gave him 30 million shares.
Now Qi Jie is the chairman of the board of directors and executive officer of Huayi Group, and the largest shareholder behind Feiyan and other groups, and it is impossible to do everything to several groups, and now most of the daily operations of Huayi Group are in charge of Chen Wanying.
After taking a few serious glances at Qi Jiedi's right-hand man, Tang Yi smiled and whispered to Zhou Yusit.
"Below, we have an exciting moment of hope, and we hope that all of you will be generous!"
With the male master of ceremonies, the lights in the hall dimmed, the lamppost focused on the stage, the first auction item is a painting painted by a student of a hope primary school in the northwest of China, the name is "hope", in the eyes of connoisseurs, this painting is not very immature, but the eyes full of expectations in the picture make people have an indescribable taste.
"Five hundred thousand!" The first to hold up the hope card was Mrs. Yang Qiong, who was wealthy and set the tone for the auction.
Naturally, no one competed with Ms. Yang Qiong, and soon "Hope" was sold for 500,000 yuan, Ms. Yang Qiong came to the stage to receive the painting, holding a big check prop photo, she picked up the microphone elegantly, and said: "This painting is given to Mr. Tang Yi." ”
There was warm applause in the hall, and Tang Yi also smiled and applauded.
After Yang Qiong stepped down, she really smiled and diligently transferred "Hope" to Tang Yi, Tang Yi took it solemnly and said very seriously: "Thank you!" ”
After the first work was auctioned off by Table No. 1, the atmosphere of the auction of the rest of the works was lively, but from time to time there was a bidding process, most of the auctioned works were handmade by the students of Hope Primary School, but the value of each auction was about one million.
Originally, the auction of this charity gala was full of boos as before, and there was even a kiss from a famous actress, but after receiving the notice of Tang Yi and the special meeting to participate in the charity gala, the organizer immediately overturned the original auction plan, and was more anxious.
Xue Ni and Ye Xiaolu also took a picture of a handicraft product from the children, Xue Ni took a picture of a tender root carving, and Ye Xiaolu took a box of choral tapes recorded by the children in music lessons, and both of them used seven or eight hundred thousand yuan.
When the price climbed to 800,000 yuan, Xue Ni held up the hope card and said in a heavenly voice: "Two million!" Miss Ye and I are two people. "It is spoken in Chinese, which is very clean and beautiful.
The hall immediately burst into warm applause, and everyone knew that if Xue Ni and the mysterious girl were determined to win this cake, it would also represent Xue Ni and the mysterious girl's determination to acquire Asia Television.
This dinner party is not richer, although there is occasional competition, everyone is also very rational, after all, which person sitting here is not unfathomable? Even if you have a holiday, how can you fight here?
Xue Ni raised the card, naturally no one fought with her, but just when the master of ceremonies was about to smash the auction hammer, someone at a table raised a card.
The master of ceremonies was stunned for a moment, but still quoted: "Two million and one million!" Mr. Ye Jizu of the No. 16 table bid 2.1 million! "Every time you raise a card, it is an increase of 100,000.
Tang Yi looked at table 16, Tang Yi had heard of Ye Jizu, because of the news of Ruth's feedback, Pioneer Network seemed to be very interested in acquiring the shares of Asia Television, and Ye Jizu was the big boss of Pioneer Network, and he was also the youngest son of Ye Lao, one of the top ten consortiums in Hong Kong, Hansheng Group.
Ye Jizu was born to Ye Lao's youngest wife, and when he was old, he was a little arrogant, and Ye Jizu was faintly arrogant between his eyebrows, and he looked like a young man with a high heart.
Xue Ni didn't look back, she raised the card again, and said crisply: "Three million!" ”
"Three million!" The master of ceremonies roared loudly, "Is there anyone else who is higher than this?" Have it? ”
Ye Jizu raised the card again, there was a beautiful lady sitting next to him, probably his wife, who looked dignified and virtuous, seeing Ye Jizu holding the card again, he whispered a few words in his ear, a little worried, obviously she felt that this occasion was not the time to be vindictive.
"Three million and one million!" The master of ceremonies quoted loudly.
Xue Ni held up her card again, "Five million!" ”
Ye Jizu raised the card with a sneer.
Tang Yi frowned slightly, and Zhou Yusit also glanced at table sixteen, looking a little uncertain.
Ye Jizu was very annoyed, Pioneer Network's plan to acquire the shares of Asia Television 1 and Xue Ni's plan to acquire Asia Television Land collided, and Asia Television had terminated negotiations with the major shareholder he was talking about, and was ready to sell all the shares to Xue Ni. Originally, Ye Jizu was a little annoyed, but before the dinner began, Ye Jizu saw Xueni's pure color again
was a little confused, so he used the negotiation of Asia Television to prepare and Xue Ni, who knew that Xue Nili ignored him, and walked away, which made Ye Jizu feel faceless.
Most of the real wealthy families don't care about showbiz stars, although Xue Ni is different after all, but Ye Jizu's family education since he was a child, he naturally didn't look down on the showbiz and music circles, and now he is directly ignored by a female singer, Ye Jizu is of course annoyed and determined to embarrass Xue Ni.
Xue Ni held up the sign again, "Six million!" ”
Ye Jizu didn't want to continue to follow the price, the beautiful young woman beside him whispered something to him with a worried face, Ye Jizu kept a calm face and ignored her.
Tang Yi shook his head helplessly, although Ye Jizu was born in a wealthy family, how could he win Xue Ni? Xue Ni doesn't know how much money she has made over the years, plus various investments, I heard that she also bought shares of Huayi Fund and Huayi Group, and Xue Nisheng has abundant funds, and those stocks and investments can be cashed out at any time, not to mention Ye Jizu, even the Hansheng Group behind him cannot have so much liquidity to compete with Xue Ni.
What's more, if Xue Ni's net worth is calculated in Hong Kong dollars, I am afraid that it has already reached tens of billions, how much worse is it than the assets really held by the entire Ye family? Not to mention a mere Ye Jizu and the pioneer network.
When Xue Ni offered "nine million", Ye Jizu's expression was already a little stiff, but he was ready to fly, hesitated for a moment and finally raised the sign again.
"Ten million!" Xue Ni didn't seem to blink her eyes, and there was an exclamation in the hall, and some small characters at each table began to talk.
Zhou Yuxi glanced at table 16 again, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, his face was very unhappy.
Yang Qiong smiled and said to Tang Yi: "Sometimes there will be sparks when doing good deeds, I think the more sparks in this way, the better, Mr. Tang, you say yes?" ”
Tang Yi smiled and nodded, the first lady of Hong Kong was worthy of her name, and the possible embarrassment was resolved in the conversation.
Ye Jizu glanced at Xue Ni's delicate back on the table not far away, and from beginning to end, Xue Ni didn't look at him.
Ye Jizu gritted his teeth and raised the sign again, his lover's face changed, and he whispered in his ear: "The master is angry!" ”
Ye Jizu glanced at his father, who was sitting at the same table as Sir He in front of him, and whispered to his wife: "Call twice, don't worry, let her buy a lesson, more than 10 million cakes, support her!" Ye Jizu already knew that he couldn't compete with Xue Ni, so he immediately made up his mind, raised the price twice, and gave it to her, he was the real winner.
Ye Jizu's wife nodded reassuringly.
"One thousand and one hundred thousand!" The master of ceremonies shouted loudly, "Is there any higher ground?!" "Actually, the eyes were on Xueni.
Who knew that Xue Ni and Ye Xiaolu whispered a few words, so they didn't raise their cards again, and picked up the red wine drink in front of them with a smile.
After the master of ceremonies asked three times, he "snapped" and made a final decision, "One thousand and one hundred thousand!" Congratulations to Mr. Ye Jizu for taking the Hope Cake. ”
The celebrities present applauded, but Ye Jizu was pale, 10 million, it was not a small amount for him, after the failure of Pioneer Network to acquire the shares of Asia Television, he turned his attention to a certain magazine, when the funds were tight, and now he lost 10 million for no reason for his vindictiveness, but I don't know how many points he lost from his father.
But he could only take photos on stage with a smile on his face, and he didn't dare to look at his pale father from beginning to end, and he didn't even know how to walk back to his seat.
When the auction reached the final stage, the master of ceremonies said with a smile: "Now the auction is a Cantonese opera cappella by Mr. Zhou Yuxi, the chief executive, with a reserve price of 10,000 yuan!" ”
Everyone laughed and applauded, just because of the embarrassing atmosphere caused by the bidding of Xue Ni and Ye Jizu was quickly washed away, in the emcee's cheerful offer, the charity party returned to the original atmosphere, obviously Zhou Yusit also hopes that the charity party will return to the right track of "love and hope".
When the special ~ drama cappella was filmed for 5 million yuan, most Hong Kong businessmen stopped bidding, after all, Hong Kong's social structure is different from that of China, and the chief executive is not so supreme.
Chen Wanying, the operating president of Huayi Group, raised the hope card, "Ten million! ”
The hall immediately burst into warm applause, and naturally no one competed with Chen Wanying anymore, this group, which is said to have a deep red background, is also thriving in Hong Kong, and it is a force that no one dares to underestimate.
Filmed a special Cantonese opera cappella singing, Chen Wanying was witty on stage, he smiled and said: "I represent our group chairman Ms. Qi Jie, Mr. Qi gave me 20 million permissions, but I am a small family, and I am also very stingy in spending other people's money, because it is to do good deeds and benefit the children, I am rare to be generous once, with 10 million, I think I have completed the task at a great value!" ”
Everyone laughed and applauded good-naturedly.
Chen Wanying's face gradually became serious, "It is the consistent purpose of our group to benefit out-of-school and poor children, I am also a poor child, and I also hope that all poor children can have the opportunity to really see the world, and I hope that this hope will be realized one day sooner." ”
Tang Yi nodded slightly, Chen Wanying is not only an excellent operator, he even has the potential to be an official, at any time, he pays attention to highlighting the big boss and knows what to say, this is undoubtedly a subordinate who is favored by all those in power.
