New. At the headquarters of the Chinese News Agency's Hong Kong branch, such a newspaper appeared on the desk of its president, Huang Licheng.

According to this news report, Shao Yifu, who once single-handedly created the Shaw Brothers film kingdom, came out to present Lin Youlun with the award, which can be regarded as a transfer of power in the Hong Kong film industry.

In fact, there is nothing to argue about this point, Lin Youlun spent nearly 8 years integrating Hong Kong cinemas, establishing Aurora special effects companies, promoting the birth of a film classification system, and investing in big-budget films...... All these have laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Hong Kong film industry, and at the same time, it has also greatly expanded the market share and influence of Hong Kong films overseas.

Now the media are speculating about when Shao Yifu will officially retire and hand over the power of wireless to Lin Youlun.

Once Lam takes over the helm of TVB, his influence in Hong Kong society and the public will inevitably rise to an unprecedented level, which will be of great benefit to Wong's work.

Whether it's from the side of an old friend or from the side of a new . From the standpoint of the Hong Kong branch of the Chinese News Agency, Huang Licheng should have called Lin Youlun to congratulate him as soon as he won the award, but at this moment, Huang Licheng pressed his hand on the microphone and did not pick it up for a long time.

What made Huang Licheng hesitate was that he received a directive from the central leadership yesterday that the flood in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River had exceeded the government's estimates, and that the specific information about the disaster had been concealed for the time being, but the central government had discussed and made a decision to announce the specific situation of the disaster to the outside world and seek assistance from the international community.

The central government asked Huang Licheng to actively contact people in Hong Kong to collect donations for the flood in East China. It is most appropriate to ask Lin Youlun to come forward to do this. But Huang Licheng couldn't open his mouth at this time. Because as early as a month ago, Lin Youlun had taken the initiative to express concern about the flood situation and was willing to come forward to raise funds, but Huang Licheng and the mainland government did not pay enough attention.

When people take the initiative to do this, there is no reaction on your side, and now you go to someone for help when the matter is about to happen, which is a little unreasonable.

Huang Licheng has not considered other candidates, such as the Huo family in Hong Kong.

As a veteran wealthy family in Hong Kong. The Huo family has always maintained a good relationship with the mainland government, and it is more secure financially, but the fly in the ointment is that it cannot be compared with Lin Youlun in terms of social influence.

After thinking about it for a long time, Huang Licheng finally made a decision, picked up the phone and dialed the secretary's number.

"Get your car ready, I'm going to visit a friend."

——

Knowing that Huang Licheng personally visited him in the company, Lin Youlun was surprised, and soon guessed the other party's intention.

When Huang Licheng arrived, Lin Youlun was not in the company, so he asked his assistant Ajie to lead people to his office first.

This is the second time Huang Licheng has walked into Lin Youlun's office. The last time was when he first arrived in Hong Kong. Lin Youlun was not in the office, and Huang Licheng did not sit and wait after he came in. Instead, he stood in front of a huge bookcase and pulled out a book at random and read it.

After about ten minutes, Lin Youlun rushed back from outside.

"I'm sorry, I've kept Huang She waiting for a long time."

"Where, Mr. Lin doesn't blame me for coming over without making an appointment in advance."

The more polite Huang Licheng spoke, the more certain Lin Youlun's heart became more and more sure of his previous judgment, he beckoned Huang Licheng to sit down on the sofa in the office rest area, and waited for the secretary to bring two cups of coffee, and after closing the door and leaving, Lin Youlun took the initiative to ask Huang Licheng's intention.

"Why did President Huang come to me today?"

"Mr. Lin said with a smile, I came today because I want to ask Mr. Lin for help." Huang Licheng put down the coffee cup and said.

Lin Youlun's expression also became serious, and he raised his hand and said, "President Huang, please speak." ”

"The last time Mr. Lin asked me about the floods in East China, there have been some questions recently." When it comes to this topic, Huang Licheng's expression is very solemn, "According to preliminary statistics, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces were the most severely affected, with nearly 100 million people affected, more than 500 people died due to the disaster, more than 7.3 million hectares of crops affected, and nearly 15 billion yuan in direct economic losses. ”

"How is the resettlement of the victims now?" Lin Youlun asked.

"Due to the magnitude and scope of the damage caused by the floods, 2 million people are still homeless, living in makeshift tents, and already suffering from infectious diseases such as intestinal diseases and malaria."

When Huang Licheng learned the news, the shock in his heart was no less than that of Lin Youlun, when he learned about the situation last month, the disaster was still under control, but he didn't expect that it had developed into a situation that was difficult to accept in just one month.

Lin Youlun took a deep breath, "How much money is needed to help the victims?" ”

"A conservative estimate is that at least $100 million will be needed."

When Huang Licheng said this number, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Youlun's face, this is not a small number, otherwise he would not have to run to Lin Youlun for help in person.

"I can come forward and call on all sectors of Hong Kong society to donate, but I have two conditions."

Lin Youlun was willing to help, of course Huang Licheng was very happy, as for the conditions proposed by Lin Youlun, Huang Licheng didn't think it would be too difficult.

"I would like to send a reporter from Ming Pao to cover the disaster situation on the spot, hoping that the mainland side will make it easier."

"No problem." Huang Licheng nodded without hesitation.

Now that the central government has decided to ask the international community for help, there is no need to hide the situation about the floods in East China, and Ming Pao, as an independent Hong Kong media, will send reporters to cover the situation in the past than the information on the disaster released by the mainland officials, which will be more helpful in raising funds.

"I came forward to raise funds in Hong Kong, I hope to set up a foundation as a third party to supervise, the use of each donation, I hope the local government will endorse, and the foundation will send someone to check the use of disaster relief funds later." Lin Youlun then said the second condition, Huang Licheng could barely accept the establishment of the foundation in the front, but the condition of sending people to supervise the use of disaster relief funds in the back was not something that Huang Licheng could understand.

"Mr. Lin, is this a bit excessive?"

"Is it over?" Lin Youlun shook his head, Huang Licheng was limited by the thinking of the times and did not see the problem, but Lin Youlun, who has the memory of later generations, knows very well that the misappropriation of disaster relief funds by the local government is actually a common problem, and using the love of others to satisfy his own selfish desires is the most unacceptable.

Huang Licheng said solemnly: "Mr. Lin is obviously distrusting the mainland government by doing this, which is really difficult for me to accept. ”

Huang Licheng was very surprised in his heart, the attitude shown by Lin Youlun at this moment was obviously inconsistent with his usual pro-mainland position, could it be that those were all illusions before.

"I'm just worried about this, after all, this kind of thing is not without precedent, this is better than President Huang than me, isn't your predecessor the best example?"

Lin Youlun asked Huang Licheng with a rhetorical question, he wanted to tell Lin Youlun that this worry was superfluous, but even he couldn't find any convincing evidence.

"I can understand Mr. Lim's concern, and it could also be a disagreement between the two different political systems in which we live. If Mr. Lin is not at ease to hand over the disaster relief funds to the mainland government, he can donate through the Red Cross, and the credibility of the Red Cross organization should be reassuring to Mr. Lin, right? ”

Lin Youlun smiled and shook his head, "President Huang, what I want to say is that there is a difference between handing over the money to the Red Cross Society on the mainland and directly handing it over to the mainland government?" ”

The Red Cross is actually a semi-official organization in China, with no affiliation with the International Red Cross, and it is obviously funny to use the credibility of the International Red Cross as a guarantee for the Red Cross Society of China.

Huang Licheng also smiled bitterly, he found that Lin Youlun's understanding of the mainland far exceeded his imagination, and some covert methods could not hide Lin Youlun's eyes at all.

"Mr. Lin, you are a little embarrassed for me, you know that I can't be the master of this matter, and you let me use the conditions you set out to persuade the central high-level, there must be a suitable explanation, right?"

"Before I explain this issue, I would like to ask President Huang what kind of understanding you have of the practice of overseas donations."

Huang Licheng is very strange, the country has encountered difficulties, and it is a very common practice in the international community to seek help, what special understanding is needed for this kind of thing?

Lin Youlun then asked: "Then why did the international community donate money?" ”

Huang Licheng replied without hesitation: "Of course, disaster relief." ”

"So if the money is not used for disaster relief, what does President Huang think will happen?"

Huang Licheng frowned, if the kind of thing Lin Youlun said really happened, and it was disclosed by overseas media, China would be in a very embarrassing position in the international community.

"This is only donations from overseas, if donations from China are misappropriated, what will ordinary people think? Your party has always emphasized that the people are the foundation of governance, and this kind of thing is just a scandal in a small way, but in the big picture, it will shake the people's trust in your party's governance, and in my opinion, under the current administrative system, the mainland government has no way to effectively supervise the use of disaster relief funds, or do you think that the money in your hands is your own money, and how to use it is your own business, and it has nothing to do with donors? ”

Huang Licheng immediately corrected and said: "Mr. Lin's words are serious, the Chinese government is a responsible government both internationally and domestically, and it has absolutely no idea in this regard." (To be continued......)
