419 [Lord Governor]
There is still half a month before the Lunar New Year, Wang Zijun has been busy in Jiashi for a week, and the audience has changed several batches, and 20 episodes have been recorded one after another.
At the same time, Audrey. The friend Hepburn invited from England also came to Hong Kong, and put the charter and framework of the foundation in place. Hepburn's name was officially incorporated in the Hong Kong Police Station. You heard it right, it's the Hong Kong Police Station, because the foundation belongs to the category of associations, similar to Chen Haonan's Hong Xing.
Audrey. Inside Hepburn's villa, his old friend James. Brown handed over a pile of papers: "Wang, this is the license plate of the society. ”
"Thank you, buddy." Wang Zijun said.
"It's nothing, I'm retired, and I can come to Hong Kong as a vacation." James. Brown laughed. This old guy is over sixty years old, and his beard is a little white, but his figure is very burly, with a height of 1.9 meters, even if he is wearing a suit, he can make people feel his developed chest muscles.
Wang Zijun opened it and looked at it casually, then put these things aside, and the main content and purpose of it were all set by him.
The full name of the society is "China Xiwang Foundation", the English name is "chna_hope_fund", and the abbreviation is "CHF". In order to maintain its independence and non-profit nature, the Foundation does not accept donations from any political party, group or organization, and only accepts donations from individuals. Part of the funds obtained will be used to maintain the operation of the foundation, and the rest will be used for Chinese education.
"How else can I help? James. "Audrey. Hepburn asked.
"Of course I need to, I don't have anything in my hands right now except for the $1 million that you and Hepburn took out." James. "We need to get this community up and running first, I need teams such as accountants, lawyers, publicity, etc., and after receiving the case, we must also have a research team, and it is best to establish a good cooperative relationship with volunteer organizations in Hong Kong and Taiwan." Of course, that's fine, I can do it well, but we also have to make a name for ourselves so that we can get donations later. Audrey, I think you are more experienced in this, for example, invite some rich businessmen to come over and hold a charity dinner. ”
"No problem, the propagandist can help you recommend a few helpers, and that's up to me." Wang Zijun said that there was him and Audrey. Hepburn is the image ambassador, is the foundation still afraid of being unpopular?
Audrey. Hepburn suddenly smiled slyly: "James, I heard that you and Mr. MacLehose, the Governor of Hong Kong, are old friends, so it is better to invite him to the charity dinner." ”
James. Brown shrugged: "Audrey, you're still so naughty. I haven't seen Morey in eight years, and the hell knows if that guy remembers me. ”
"How do you know if you don't try?" Audrey. Hepburn said with a wink.
"Okay." James. Brown said, "I'm going to make a call." ”
James. When Brown ran to make a phone call, Wang Zijun asked: "Who is this James, who is actually friends with the Governor of Hong Kong." ”
"Do you know the Brown family in England?" Audrey. Hepburn asked.
"I have the impression that it's a political family." Wang Zijun vaguely remembers that there is a British prime minister named Brown.
"Yes, the Brown family has a lot of political influence in the UK." Audrey. Hepburn said, "Ten years ago, when Sir MacLehose was still in the Foreign Office, he almost went court-martialed for the loss of a classified document, and it was Mr. Brown who interceded for him and was not severely punished. ”
Wang Zijun said dumbly: "That Mr. Brown is James?" ”
"It's James's brother, George. Brown. "Audrey. Hepburn said, "James was an outlier of the Brown family and didn't go into politics like his family. As a young man, he worked as a basketball player, actor and race car driver, and later for the International Red Cross. I met him when we were making movies, he was in his thirties at that time, and I hadn't become popular yet, just a young actor. ”…,
Wang Zijun quipped: "He should have pursued you." ”
"Yes," Audrey. Hepburn said frankly, "But he was married at the time." ”
After the two had spoken a few words, James took a note with the address on it and walked away and asked, "Where is Saigon?" How do I remember that this is a place name in Vietnam. ”
"The southeast side of Hong Kong's New Territories." Wang Zijun said.
"Morey and his wife are on vacation in Saigon, and I think we can go and have a free dinner tonight." James handed the note to Wang Zijun and turned to Audrey. Hepburn said, "Jesse was very happy to hear that you were there. ”
"Uh, do you need me to drive you?" Wang Zijun asked, he wanted to take this opportunity to get acquainted with MacLehose, but he didn't know if people would like to see him.
"Of course you're going too, Morey is interested in your foundation." James said.
"It's a great honor." Wang Zijun said.
James. Brown, this old guy is looking at Audrey. Hepburn's face came to help, and when the foundation is running smoothly, it is estimated that he will leave Hong Kong. Since there is an opportunity to borrow him to catch up with the governor of Hong Kong, Wang Zijun will certainly not miss it.
Wang Zijun acted as the driver and drove the car out in person. James very gentlemanly helped Audrey. Hepburn opened the car door, and his gestures were very charming, which made Wang Zijun look a little unhappy.
"Mr. James, how long are you going to stay in Hong Kong?" After getting on the road, Wang Zijun asked casually.
"A year at most, maybe two more years if you're having a good time here," James said. ”
"Is there any other place to leave Hong Kong?" Wang Zijun asked.
"I might go to India, where a lot of young people in Europe have been on pilgrimage in the past two years, and I've heard that the curry rice there is very authentic," James said. However, I would rather go to the mainland of China and see the legendary Great Wall, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity. ”
"I also want to go to the mainland to see if I have the chance." Wang Zijun said with a smile.
Born into a British political family, James obviously knows a lot about the relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and said: "It should be difficult for you to realize this wish, I heard that you grew up in Taiwan. ”
Wang Zijun said: "That's not necessarily. ”
James asked, "Do you want to defect to the mainland?" ”
"I believe that cross-strait relations will one day be normalized, just as the Berlin Wall will definitely fall and East and West Germany will merge sooner or later." Wang Zijun said.
"Haha," laughed James, "I don't think Brezhnev would have agreed." The Berlin Wall will never be torn down unless the Soviet Union wandans. ”
"The USSR will wandan." Wang Zijun said.
"Wang, you have a good sense of humor." James. Brown directly listened to what Wang Zijun said as a joke.
Under the leadership of Brezhnev, the Soviet Union's national strength reached its historical peak in the past two years. GDP rose from 23 percent to 53 percent in the United States, and nuclear liliang went from one-sixth of the United States to slightly more than the United States. It was the height of the Cold War, and no one believed that the Soviet Union would wandan.
Wang Zijun pursed his lips and said, "Maybe one day you will see my prophecy come true." ”
James laughed, "I wish I could live until that day." ”
"You will." Wang Zijun said.
James said, "Thank you, I can take this sentence as a blessing." ”
In a villa near the sea in Saigon, Wang Zijun took the address and searched for a long time but could not find the way, and finally paid a guide to arrive successfully.
As the car drove through the gate, Governor MacLehose heard the horn of the car and greeted him early. As soon as James got out of the car, MacLehose walked up to him and gave him a hug, and said with a smile: "James, my old friend, it's so nice to see you." Is your brother okay? ”
"He's still the same, thank you for your concern." James said.
James. Brown's older brother, George. Brown was not only MacLehose's benefactor, but also his boss at the Foreign Office. And he is a terrible boss, likes to drink heavily, has a bad temper, and has no sense of time, so MacLehose, who is his assistant, works overtime until midnight every day, and almost has a nervous breakdown. Even when he left his confidential documents at the Bank of Scotland, he almost went to court-martial, because he worked overtime with his boss the night before and didn't get enough sleep. …,
The two talked about the old days, and after parting, James walked up to Mrs. MacLehose, gave a kiss, and said with a smile: "Jesse, I haven't seen you for eight years, and you are still so beautiful." ”
"Thank you for the compliment." Mrs. MacLehose is in her fifties, and her wrinkles can't even hide the powder, and she is very happy to hear James's compliments.
"Hello, Ms. Hepburn, I didn't expect you to be still in Hong Kong." MacLehose said and looked at Wang Zijun strangely. He learned from James' phone call that the Foundation was Audrey. Hepburn and Wang Zijun did it together, coupled with the previous scandals between the two, which will inevitably lead to conjecture.
Wang Zijun was also looking at the famous Hong Kong governor, and his first feeling was that he was very tall, and the second feeling was that he was elegant and gentlemanly. He walked up and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Sir Mak." ”
"Young man, I often see your news. In Chinese words, it is to admire the name for a long time, like thunder. MacLehose and Wang Zijun shook hands.
Wang Zijun smiled: "Your idiom is very good. ”
A few people entered the living room, and Audrey. Hepburn and Mrs. MacLehose chatted together, James and MacLehose laughed and talked about interesting things in the past, and Wang Zijun was left out in the cold and quite embarrassed.
After chatting for a while, MacLehose said, "James, the last time I went back to London, they said you were doing aid work in Africa. ”
"I spent three years in Africa, where it was terrible, poverty, disease, and war. But luckily, I made some special friends, haha, some lions, elephants and rhinos. It was a great feeling, I took thousands of photos and I can invite you to see my Africa series of photographs next time I go back to London. James said proudly.
"Really? Then I must take a look. MacLehose said, "Why did you suddenly come to Hong Kong?" Don't work for the Red Cross anymore? ”
"Retired." James said: "And then Hepburn called me over with a phone call, you know, we're old friends. ”
MacLehose looked at Wang Zijun and asked, "James couldn't say it clearly on the phone, can you be specific?" ”
Wang Zijun immediately explained the details of the Xiwang Foundation. MacLeho nodded as he listened, and finally said, "Charity dinner?" I think I'd be happy to help. ”
To be honest, Wang Zijun set up this xiwang foundation dedicated to education, and the timing is too coincidental. Today, Hong Kong only has six years of compulsory education, and there are still many children in rural Hong Kong who cannot afford or do not want to go to school. MacLehose is preparing to implement nine-year compulsory education in Hong Kong after the beginning of the year, although Wang Zijun's foundation will not be of much help, but if it is operated well, then the promotion of nine-year compulsory education will have a great publicity and promotion effect.
