Chapter 238: Jockey Club Charity
Regarding Old Man Zhang's words, Guo Yi was noncommittal, to be honest, he didn't feel much about the banquet, and he didn't like it, which can be seen in the fact that he usually doesn't go to the capital.
But Mr. Zhang spoke, it was still a charity dinner, Guo Yi would not refuse, he wanted to see how ordinary people guessed how these small groups of people at the top of the Hong Kong pyramid lived or should be said to be how they put on a show.
The show makes them a show for Guo Yi, of course, this is with Guo Yi, a low-key philanthropist.
In the case that others don't know, Guo Yi has donated more than 10 million to the Red Cross Society, the most part is used to help students, followed by helping the lonely and widowed elderly, again, there is no more, of course, whether the money is used in practice, Guo Yi does not know, asked twice, did not get the whereabouts of the money, and has not donated since then.
There are a lot of wealthy people in Hong Kong, and when the money reaches a certain level, which is just a number, their pursuit will slowly change at this time.
The original sin of capital is blood, although they did not kill people, but they still have the blood and sweat of many people on their hands, in the eyes of the general public, they are criminals, but this criminal is different from other criminals, don't think nonsense.
The fastest way to clear up, that is, to do charity, charity is really hard to say, but no matter what kind of idea you have, as long as the money is used in practice, it is the best, although Guo Yi has some disdain in his heart, but the general environment is like this, there is no way to solve it by a few people, and can only hope that the money will be used on the people who can really use it.
"Do I need to prepare a lot?"
Since it's a charity dinner, there must be an auction item. Attendees bring something that they think is meaningful or useful to others.
Guo Yi heard Chen Jun talk about it by chance, and even invited him to participate. But Guo Yi refused.
"Our family has already prepared a lot, which is the first piece of jewelry designed by Xiaoyi. There is no need to prepare. β
The two chatted in the study for about an hour, and the people waiting in the living room were already a little impatient, they were all people who had a lot of work every day, if it weren't for the orders that Mr. Zhang had been ordering, he would have entered the study unless something big could not disturb his rules, otherwise the conversation between them would have been interrupted.
Seeing the red-faced old man Zhang and Guo Yi walking out of the study, Zhang Siyi's tense heart was also relaxed, for fear that after his grandfather came out. If you disagree, you will break up the two of them.
In fact, what he didn't know was that now her grandfather was worried that Guo Yi would kick her away in the future.
After coming out of the study, it was close to noon, and after eating in the restaurant, Zhang Lao Er left, and he had his own circle party.
Zhang Tianming was not so anxious after solving the most important things of the company. Instead, he can rest at home for a day, and of course he has to go to the banquet in the evening.
The head of the second generation of the Zhang family, at this time. It's not a question of not showing up, those bigwigs won't say anything, but they don't know what they think in their hearts. There are also those second and third generations, if you are narrow-minded, maybe when will they give you a yin. There's no place for you to cry.
Guo Yi wandered around the courtyard of the villa with Zhang Siyi all afternoon, and of course he would go out and walk on this somewhat sloping road.
Just like a normal couple in love. Or that the tacit understanding between them is like a husband and wife who have lived together for decades.
The people in the sporadic passing cars can't help but want to take a look at how there can be such a pair of leisurely wall people in this fast-paced Hong Kong, especially in this rich residential area.
The news that Miss Zhang had found a boyfriend also spread rapidly in the small place of Hong Kong when Guo Yi came to Zhang's house.
made many people who still had hope for Zhang Siyi beat their chests and regretted that they were late.
Tonight's charity party is their last chance, or to see what kind of person the guy who took the heart of the eldest lady of the Zhang family is, and why he took away the heart of the flower of Hong Kong's wealthy family.
All of them were preparing, and they thought they should be able to defeat him or retreat automatically.
And the two people who stirred up the storm among the younger generation were taking pictures in a daze, and even looked at their houses outside the door of other people's houses, discussing to see which one was interested in selling and took over, so comfortable!
The Hong Kong Jockey Club is an organization that Hong Kong people can never bypass, the Jockey Club is not only horse racing, but also charity, gambling Mark Six and so on are closely related to the Club, sometimes, some of the decisions made by the Hong Kong government are also related to the decisions made by the Club's committees, etc., which shows the great influence of the Club.
The Jockey Club Committee is made up of the most prestigious people in Hong Kong, and Mr. Cheung has mixed well and obtained the qualification of a member of the Club, while Guo Yi's father-in-law is seeking a place on the committee in the future.
This committee member is a symbol of status, representing your status, there are not a few who are staring at him, all of them are doing their best for this quota, this is what Zhang Siyi told Guo Yi in the afternoon, and it also made Guo Yi understand why the roots of the wealthy family are so deep, and the source of QiΔ comes from here, of course, this is just one of them.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, after everyone had dinner, they changed their clothes, and Mr. Zhang, with the support of Guo Yi and Zhang Siyi, got into the Rolls-Royce Earl car borrowed by Guo Yi.
Old Man Zhang is not qualified to take this car, but who asked Guo Yi to marry someone else's granddaughter, only to make an exception, as for Zhang Tianming and Qin Qiluo, they can only be Old Man Zhang's gray Bentley.
"Husband, that's our future son-in-law, he has the ability to get in such a car, we should be happy for him, so that it means that our daughter is not looking for the wrong person."
Qin Qiluo could see the depression in her husband's heart, and held his hand to persuade her, but the ice seed red fei she was carrying on her wrist was indeed Guo Yi's gift, she believed that if she let those who participated in the charity party see it, they would be envious in their hearts, don't look at them as wealthy families. However, the wealthy may not be able to get this bracelet, because of the rarity of red jade. There are only a handful of people who can own a red bracelet, and even if they do, they may not necessarily wear them.
"Xiao Guo. It's really a big deal, why didn't I see it in Spain some time ago, wearing a dress of tens of thousands of dollars at will, unlike coming to our house today, deliberately dressed up. β
"That's hard to say, the more solemnly he dresses, it proves that he values our family Xiaoyi in his heart and respects us, do you want him to wear it casually. Let the second family ridicule. β
"You know I didn't mean that, it's just that today's table made me lose all of a sudden, and I don't know if my father asked what happened."
"What's bottomless, isn't it just a little generous, he bought a gambling stone circle and mixed it up, and a few top-grade jadeites in his hand are nothing."
Qin Qiluo thought that what her husband was talking about was the bracelet that Guo Yi gave him today to please him and the top pendants that had been processed for the second and third families.
"It's not this, I don't care about this, didn't you see the bracelet she gave to Xiaoyi, from this you can see his liking for his daughter Cheng DΓΉ. You must know that not everyone is willing to give it.
I'm talking about the cigarette ...... he gave me."
"What kind of bracelet did you give Xiaoyi, do you value it so much?"
Qin Qiluo heard what her husband said solemnly, and hurriedly interrupted her husband's words and asked.
"Didn't you see it, I thought you saw it, the glass red bracelet. Others are used to collect, and even if you get one, you will hide it for fear of bumping into it. He put it on his daughter's hand directly, not afraid of damage at all. That's why I asked him if he had any top-quality jadeite! β
After Zhang Tianming finished speaking, he didn't wait for his wife's voice to speak, and looked to the side. Seeing that his wife's face was sullen, I couldn't help but be happy.
"Don't you want to think that Xiao Guo is going to marry our daughter, if you don't give her good things, will you give it to you, your daughter's vinegar is eaten, it's really ......"
Seeing his wife glaring at him because of his laughter, Zhang Tianming explained.
This mother-in-law eats her daughter's vinegar because the gift she gives is not as good as her daughter's, isn't it a joke?
"Hey...... It's me who is obsessed. β
Qin Qiluo listened to her husband's explanation, and said after being silent for a while.
"By the way, you said that Xiao Guo sent the cigarettes, is there any problem? I thought it was an internal cigarette that I was asking for at a cigarette factory. β
"If it's really an internal cigarette, I won't be entangled, that cigarette is a special supply for people in the upper echelons of the government, I still happened to see it when I was in the meeting, and I was lucky enough to smoke one."
"For the ...... of the upper echelons Xiao Guo has such a great ability to get it. β
Qin Qiluo was a little unsure after listening to her husband's words, didn't Guo Yi come out of a small village and earn hundreds of millions of family properties with his own ability, is there anything in it that they don't know.
"Find a time to ask Xiao Yi to see if she knows anything, when I see Xiao Guo this time, I always feel a little different, but I can't find anything different."
Zhang Tianming sighed and said, this son-in-law is becoming more and more incomprehensible, especially how he is qualified to be an earl-level Rolls-Royce, born in Hong Kong and received a British education since he was a child, he can know how difficult it is for a person with the title of earl to lend the car that represents his identity to others, if he encounters that kind of antique level, even his family is not allowed to ride.
And Guo Yi can borrow it lightly, this can't be said to be borrowed, it should be said that it is directly used, he said in his heart that it is impossible not to be jealous, even if they wave a check, or even buy it at several times the price of this car, Rolls-Royce will not even look at them, in the United Kingdom, which pays the most attention to aristocratic status, you don't have that identity, you don't have to think about taking this car that belongs to the aristocracy.
"Xiao Guo, you may become the public enemy at the banquet tonight!"
The old man Zhang in the Rolls-Royce car said to Guo Yi without a head, which made Guo Yi stunned for a moment, and then understood.
Doesn't the public enemy mean that he chased Zhang Siyi into his hands, they don't have that ability, they want to try their best to measure him on him, see if he is qualified enough, if he is not enough, let him lose a big ugly, if he is qualified, then say it separately, I believe that there will be a lot of tricks waiting for him at the banquet.
I don't care about this Guo Yi, if he really does something, at this level of banquet, no one's face is good-looking, which is impossible to accept in Hong Kong, which values face the most, and these self-proclaimed elites in high society in Hong Kong, who value face the most, should be more restrained, otherwise he doesn't mind giving them a chance to become famous.
"You should be careful for a while, which people don't go on the front road, there are many crooked ways."
Zhang Siyi held Guo Yi's hand with some concern and whispered, he knows how shameless those guys are, they are gentle and elegant on the surface, and a brick is a knife, which makes you unguardable.
"It's okay, don't worry."
Guo Yi held Zhang Siyi's hand, patted it gently, and said softly.
His words were like magic, and they came into Zhang Siyi's ears, making his heart, which was a little anxious and regretted agreeing to come to the banquet, as if he had a backbone, and immediately calmed down a lot.
"Xiao Guo, it's good to have confidence, they won't do too much, if it's too much, don't care about anything, just do what you have to do, they can't become the climate."
Old Man Zhang looked a little anxious and worried about Guo Yi, so he said domineeringly.
His domineering is not how powerful the Zhang family is or how well-connected, the fight between the juniors, the elders generally do not participate, of course, if you cross the line or go too far on the spot, then another story.
Guo Yi's identity is the source of his domineering, if Guo Yi's identity is exposed, I believe that those old guys will also give face to the people behind him, and they will not do anything excessive.
The upper class is dirty, and Mr. Zhang knows everything about the Tao inside, even he has come over like this, but after success, he has washed all the previous things.
What people are most afraid of is to turn over old accounts, which is also the reason why they have been resisting before, but they were reassured by the government and completely appeased.
If you have gone too far in Guo Yi's matter, it is another story, of course, this is the worst plan made under the premise of an accident.
No better, no one wants to have problems at a banquet of this level No.
Since there are a lot of cars on the road, the speed of progress is much slower, but fortunately, Hong Kong drivers can hide when they see this car, and they will not take the initiative to make up for it.
It was already an hour later when he arrived at the club, and when Rolls-Royce stopped at the door, it attracted the attention of many people, who had the impression that such a banquet would not be attended by those who professed to be superior to the nobility in England.
The person who was guarding the door and was in charge of greeting him, when he saw this car, he came up directly, and he wanted to see that it was the British nobleman in Hong Kong who came, so that he could inform him to get ready.
But when the driver opened the door, the people who got out of the car made him petrify immediately! (To be continued......)
