147 [The ball has become a cultural salon]
Wang Zijun's movement was not small, but I saw a middle-aged man crawling over to help Jin Zhihui up, and asked nervously: "Ah Hui, are you okay?" β
"Waist, my waist, broken!" Jin Zhihui said sweatingly.
"Dr. Zhang, help my son take a look!" The middle-aged man shouted to the other side.
A man with glasses came over, touched Jin Zhihui's waist, and said, "Ling Gongzi didn't hurt his bones, it's fine." β
"That's good, that's good!" That fat middle-aged man even said.
When Jin Zhihui heard that he was fine, and saw that the people around him were watching, he was not stupid enough to sue in public, but only rubbed his waist and glared at Wang Zijun viciously, and leaned into his father's ear and said something.
Jin Zhihui's father looked at Wang Zijun's eyes with some resentment, thinking that his son had said something bad.
Wang Zijun shook his head a little helplessly, this forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
Run Run Shaw was far away and asked Fang Yihua, "What's the matter?" β
Fang Yihua didn't figure out the situation either, but when he saw two young men, and Huo Yingdong's daughter was still standing next to him, he guessed the reason somewhat. She pointed at Huo Liping, and Run Run Shaw couldn't help but smile: "People are not romantic teenagers, but it is too uneducated to do it at the ball." β
Huo Liping was also pulled aside by her eldest brother Huo Zhenting, probably training her.
Wang Zijun was surrounded by several foreigners, and one of them said, "King Misi, was that Chinese kung fu just now?" Just like Bruce. Lee the same. β
Allison said: "This is Sir Vandersen from our Hong Kong Broadcasting Development Group. β
Wang Zijun's eyes lit up when he heard this, this development group is actually an unconventional organization under the jurisdiction of the British and Hong Kong government axes to specifically manage the television and radio industries, and they must obtain their consent to obtain a license.
"Oh, Vandersen, what a name." Wang Zijun praised, "Is Miesfan Dutch? I heard that Fan in the Netherlands and Feng in Germany are both noble surnames, and Mies Fan thought that his ancestors must be the great nobles of the Netherlands. β
"Haha, I can't imagine that King Mies not only knows kung fu, but also has a lot of research on Europe." Vandersen was in a good mood after being praised, and he did not hesitate to give Wang Zijun praise words. In fact, where Vandersen was an aristocrat, he was a small shoemaker, and the Dutch surname Fan was a noble surname, but it was just a second-party statement for later generations.
Vandersen is now an English knight, but he cares a lot about his ancestry.
Wang Zijun and a group of ghosts sat around and talked about it, and Run Run Shaw felt a little bad. Regarding the issuance of TV licenses next year, in fact, people in the industry have basically guessed it, but most people don't have the strength to fight, and some people are also jointly preparing to cooperate in running TV stations.
Run Run Shaw doesn't care if someone else runs a TV station, those people can't play him. The real history is also the same, and it took only two or three years for Hong Kong's third TV station to go out of business from its inception. But Wang Zijun is very evil, and Run Run Shaw can't see through it, so he has to pay attention to it.
Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua walked over and said with a smile: "Sir Fan, what is it that you are so happy to talk about?" β
Vandersen laughed: "We are talking about European classics, and King Mies has a lot of research on Shakespeare. β
"Where, where, just a little bit of it." Wang Zijun arched his hand.
"Well, let's talk, I'll go greet the guests first." As soon as Run Run Shaw heard about the European classics, he was directly defeated, thinking: Sure enough, he came from Taipei, and he still has some goods in his stomach.
It is said that the Kuomintang's rule in Taiwan for decades, although it has harmed many aborigines, his pursuit of indoctrination, coupled with the countless cultural elites who accompanied the army to the south, allowed Chinese culture to be preserved and developed in Taiwan. This is incomparable between the mainland and Hong Kong.
In the 21st century, the true essence of traditional culture can only be found in Taiwan, and the mainland and Hong Kong have changed their taste.
Wang Zijun's chat circle with a group of foreign devils is getting bigger and bigger, and gradually, almost all the foreigners have come over now. From poetry, from music to sculpture, from Caesar to Napoleon, and then to explore the origin of the "sword in stone".
Wang Zijun doesn't know anything about engineering, but he has a wide range of involvement in these, plus some later "Exploration and Discovery" and "National Geographic" views, he said that these foreign devils were stunned. Whenever it comes to the highlights, these foreigners applaud warmly.
Later, many people simply stopped dancing and came to listen to Wang Zijun's nonsense, although these Hong Kong businessmen couldn't say it, they still knew how to be vassal. For a time, the ball became a cultural salon.
"So, King Mies liked Balzac's The Human Comedy the most?" Allison asked.
"No, no, no," Wang Zijun shook his head and said, "Although the project of "Human Comedy" is huge, it can be called a masterpiece. But my favorite is Victor Hugo's Les MisΓ©rables. It has both the realistic surname and epic atmosphere of "The Human Comedy", but also has a mesmerizing magical style. It is said that Hugo had worked hard to create a masterpiece in 1801, but it was not until 1828 that he began to collect information, and it was not until 1862 that he finally completed the manuscript, and he wrote a picture of the history of France for a century. β
"Oh my God, I love Les MisΓ©rables too, I love Ran to death. Agen. A foreigner lady exclaimed.
Vandersen said, "Is Shakespeare not as good as Hugo?" I think the British ones are the best. β
Wang Zijun said: "Art doesn't matter who is better than whom, art in various places has different cultural connotations, and it is purely their own preferences. For example, Confucian culture is the best in the world for me. And for some Chinese who don't know it, it's very rotten and backward; For Westerners with cultural barriers, there is no sense of this. β
"Confucian culture, I know, there are Confucius and Mencius, yes, and Lao Tzu." Vandersen said.
"Flutter!" An onlooker Shaw Brothers actress couldn't help laughing.
"Ahem," Wang Zijun coughed, "Actually, I admire the French people's love for art the most." Just like in World War II, when the German army attacked Paris, the French surrendered immediately. Are they greedy for life and afraid of death? Perhaps, he has a theory that they are trying to save their city. When the Germans attacked Paris, what was the most important thing for the French? Remove all the works of art from the Louvre and hide them in a castle. Later, when Hitler passed by the castle, he knew that the priceless works of art were inside, but he did not dare to lift a finger. Because if he robbed the artworks, the French, who had already surrendered, would immediately rise up and revolt! This is a strange people whose art is more important than the country and life. β
"Yes, I admit it." Vandersen spread his hands and said, "Those guys have gone mad. β
Huo Liping, who got rid of her eldest brother Huo Zhenting, suddenly interjected: "In fact, it doesn't matter whether France or Britain, European classical culture is based on ancient Greek and Roman culture. I think that the era of the Three Sages is the most shining era, and the contemporaries of the Chinese pre-Qin Dynasty have created a splendid culture for the whole world in the next 2,000 years. β
"Yes, I couldn't agree more with this young lady." Allison said, "The Imaginary Republic is recognized by European philosophers as a 'philosophical encyclopedia', and its greatness is beyond question, and all European philosophies in later generations are only interpreting it." β
Wang Zijun commented: "This is very similar to China, where thousands of years of philosophy are only interpreting the Analects and Lao Tzu. β
Jin Zhihui was furious when he saw Wang Zijun and Huo Liping talking with a group of ghosts. His father patted him on the shoulder and admonished, "Don't mess with this young man, he has the help of the ghost now." The girl of the Huo family is surnamed Ziye, even if she marries, you can't control it, so it's better to give up. β
"I'm not reconciled." Jin Zhihui gritted his teeth and said.
His father said earnestly: "If a man wants to do great things, he must learn to be willing." There is no such thing as the best of both worlds, and if you want to get something, you have to give it up first. What's more, the girl of the Huo family is really not suitable for you. β
"Hmph." Jin Zhihui looked for a female star to dance with an ugly face.
The "Cultural Salon" lasted for more than an hour, and it was only before everyone could not finish the topic that Fan Desen said: "King Miss, it is really rare to see such a learned Oriental as you. You can come to my house when you have time, and I hold a salon every month, and I can meet a lot of artists in Asia. β
This kind of private salon is not accessible to everyone, at least Vandersen will not invite Run Run Shaw.
Wang Zijun took the business card he handed over and said with a smile: "There will be time to pass and admire the demeanor of the scholars." β
After the foreigners dispersed to dance, Huo Liping asked, "Do you study European?" β
Wang Zijun smiled: "No, it's just to read relevant books occasionally." In fact, these people are not much better than ordinary businessmen, and I would have to be deflated if I met a real connoisseur. β
"Ah, Prince, you are so powerful."
"Yes, the prince understands everything."
"Prince, do you have a lot of books at home?"
While the two were chatting, Run Run Shaw's granddaughter and her classmates and friends came running over again, and a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls were chirping around Wang Zijun.
For a while, Wang Zijun felt that talking to these girls was a headache than dealing with a large group of ghosts just now. Because these little girls ask strange questions, and the jump surname is big, Wang Zijun can't keep up with the rhythm.
Huo Liping saw Wang Zijun's painful look on his face, and gloated and snickered beside him.
Wang Zijun finally went to the toilet under the pretext of urinating and escaping the clutches of these little girls. What's funny is that he actually met someone at the door of the toilet - Li Ka-shing.
"Mr. Li, what a coincidence." Wang Zijun greeted.
"Mr. Wang's demeanor just now overpowered those foreigners and greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese." Li Chaoren praised.
Wang Zijun was playing haha with him, but he was thinking in his heart, Cheung Kong and Sun Hung Kai, which ranked first and second in Hong Kong's wealth list in the future, were both listed this year, should they make two small dollars to spend?
Thinking of next year's stock market crash, Wang Zijun shook his head, and he didn't want to touch the fields he didn't understand.
Li Ka-shing and Fung King-hei both started out in real estate, and in 1967, the mainland movement spread to Hong Kong, where a riot broke out, causing Hong Kong's land prices to fall sharply. As a result, Li Ka-shing and Feng Jingxi took the opportunity to buy land on a large scale, and their prices skyrocketed afterwards.
Li Ka-shing is not as good as Feng Jingxi at this time, after the two companies go public in the next few months, Sun Hung Kai's market value is more than 500 million, while Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong is only more than 100 million, but they are all considered to be Hong Kong's famous rich.
