Chapter 312: The International Chapter
"Jiaheng, the one that your old man values is really good at making money. A ferry ticket costs 30 Hong Kong dollars, and it can receive at least 5,000 tourists a day, which is 20 million in half a year, how much does it cost to go to Antarctica, isn't this fame and fortune? ”
In a building next to the Star Ferry Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, a man in his thirties stands in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling glass with a goblet and looks down at the polar research ship "Yuanwang" moored at Pier 6. The straight black suit is very ironed on the body, with a pair of gold-wire glasses on the bridge of the nose, and the corners of the lips are slightly raised, looking gentlemanly.
Gu Jiaheng, the third son of the Gu family, was also well-dressed, wearing a decent tuxedo, a beautiful bow on his white vertical-collared shirt, and was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling glass with Erlang's legs crossed.
The Arctic scientific expedition is of great significance!
The "Yuanwang" polar research ship has become a scientific calling card of Hong Kong. Not only can it be parked at Central Pier 6 for free, but it has even been included in the list of attractions by dozens of savvy travel agencies, and it has been sending a steady stream of domestic and foreign tourists here since last month.
Gu Jiaheng threw a beautifully designed concert ticket on the coffee table, picked up his wine glass and said, "There are many laboratories on the ship, and the equipment in them is very expensive, and the number of tourists must be limited. And after such a long voyage, the ship needs to be maintained, and it is now open while it is maintained, and it can receive up to 2,000 tourists a day.
In addition, Mondays and Thursdays are free, and schools with prior appointments are also free for students to visit. ”
The standing man playfully asked, "Sounds like you admire him?" ”
Gu Jiaheng chewed on the word "appreciation". A thousand feelings rose in my heart.
The old man's vision is too poisonous. Say he can do it, he really does. In just seven years, he has become the tenth richest person in Hong Kong, and this is just wealth. On top of that, he has a reputation that Hong Kong's wealthy people can't match.
Hong Kong people like to help people take flower names, called Ah Rong - pork Rong, called Ah Chang - sweet potato Chang, called Ah Lian - Jiao Po Lian, called Ah Bin - Da Tou Bin, called Ah Hui - Yu belly Hui, called Ah Bing - pig head bing, traitor Jian, Gao Laoquan, Shui Shui Wei, Snake Zi Ming, Xiao Zi Ming, Ji Ji Ying, He B Zi, marijuana Cheng ...... It's called everything.
There is a wrong champion, and there is no wrong name.
Names that don't sound very elegant are often very appropriate.
For example, Ms Fan Tsui, a member of the Legislative Council and former Chairman of the Education Commission. Because of the falling out with the new governor of Hong Kong, the political stance suddenly took a 180-degree turn, and the previous "pro-British" changed to "pro-mainland".
For example, the boss of "Apple Daily" was called "Fat Lai" by Hong Kong people because of his relative fatness; Another example is that his master is approachable, and he has no problem with anyone, so he has a very affectionate nickname - "rich guy".
Since it is mixed in Hong Kong, the largest shareholder of NB Electric Group and the director of the Technology Application Department of NB Laboratory. It is also inevitable that "people give nicknames".
But his nickname is more stylish than all the rich people, and I don't know who came up with it. Call him the "International Chapter". It means that he makes the world's money with his ability, and he is very comfortable in the world, unlike other rich people who will play stocks and engage in real estate, and will only make money from Hong Kong people.
The gap widened suddenly, and people are now people who talk to old antiques such as Mr. Li, Mr. He, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Shao and his own old man on an equal footing. Every time he thinks of the words he said before that he looked down on NB Electric, Gu Jiaheng felt very uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the end of the WH Revolution, if it weren't for the reform and opening up in the hinterland, people like you wouldn't know where to shout slogans!
Gu Jiaheng scolded secretly, and asked casually: "Guangming, don't you appreciate it?" ”
Zhang Guangmingsensen's eyes swept over the Hong Kong Arts Center not far away, and said lightly: "I appreciate his academic achievements and his ability to make money, but I don't appreciate his approach to some things." ”
Isn't there a vice premier Lao Tzu, if it weren't for the power of the family, how could you be qualified to be the turn of five people in Hong Kong? Gu Jiaheng looked down on the person in front of him in his heart, if he hadn't just started a real estate project in the mainland, he needed his help to get up and down, so he wouldn't listen to his nonsense like now.
He quietly asked, "What are the practices?" ”
"For example, if it weren't for your father's help, he would be where he is today? But how did he repay you, an independent non-executive director of NB Bank, and he didn't even have an office, I feel wronged for you when you think about it. ”
Zhang Guangming said the word "non" of the independent non-executive director very seriously, and also showed a trace of indignation.
Sow discord and play me like a child?
The "International Chapter" is in full swing, and even Mr. Li, Mr. He, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zheng and other well-known figures are rushing to cross-hold shares with him. The Gu family is close to the water and the building is the first to get the month, and the investment in NB Bank alone has doubled, and it is too late to make the relationship more intimate, how can it be possible to offend others?
Gentleman is not equal to an idiot, not to mention that he knew that the charter had robbed him of his medical equipment business in the mainland, even if he didn't know Gu Jiaheng, he wouldn't be fooled by this.
"Brother Guangming, I, an INED, don't even have an office in NB Bank, but I'm not the only INED who doesn't have an office. The other few economists who were not German university economists, or bankers from Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, Saxony Bank, any of them were well-known figures in Germany, they didn't complain, and I had nothing to complain about. ”
If the central government doesn't support it and doesn't give you business, can your Gu family have today?
Zhang Guangming also looked down on Gu Jiaheng from the bottom of his heart, in his eyes, Gu Jiaheng was a gentleman who did not want to make progress and knew how to make a star. Even Mr. Gu is just a businessman who made his fortune by smuggling.
However, the situation is pressing!
Before 97, he really had nothing to do with that "international chapter" and his NB Electrical. What made him feel helpless was that. Mr. D also made a "dancing and dancing, making money" after Hong Kong's return. Fifty years of unwavering commitment to the existing system. Even after 97, he seems to have nothing to do with the "international chapter".
In addition, the kid didn't know how to get in touch with the military.
The little girl of the Teng family held the exclusive agency of NB Medical, and summoned a group of commanders, political commissars, deputy commanders, deputy political commissars and chief of staff of several major military regions, political commissars, deputy commanders, deputy political commissars and chief of staff, and unscrupulously stook the land.
is menacing, and he will buckle people's hats at every turn.
The purchase of medical equipment such as CT machines, digital X-ray machines, hemodialysis machines and blood machines of NB Electric is patriotic, and the purchase of the United States, Japan, Germany and the Netherlands is "traitors and traitors". Relying on the fact that they are women, relying on them to have a backstage, they are messing around. How ugly and ugly it is to eat, I don't talk about business ethics at all.
Xiucai met the soldiers, and he couldn't explain it clearly, and he made those deans anxious, and the business that they talked about before was messed up by them one after another, and now it has developed to the extent of large-scale co-optation.
Obviously, "the party commands the gun," but in front of real money, the "party" may not be able to withstand the test. In order to become the second-level and third-level agents of Xingda Commerce, the children or relatives of the health system and local leaders engaged in the sale of medical devices have defected.
It's okay to go on like this. It's just that you don't give people a way to live.
If you can't do it, you can regenerate it. Zhang Guangming sat in front of the coffee table and said with a wry smile: "Brother Jiaheng, you and I are world friends, and now my brother is in trouble, who else can I find if I don't ask you for help?" My requirements are not high, and I will be given half of the agency by dividing the river. ”
Half of the power of attorney, this requirement is not high?
Gu Jiaheng was made laughable, pointed to the concert ticket on the coffee table and said: "Brother Guangming, it's not that the brothers don't help, but the brothers are soft-spoken and can't afford such a big responsibility." What I can do is to help you create an opportunity to meet, what kind of negotiation can be made, and I dare not guarantee the ticket. ”
NB Labs' infrastructure project on the Clear Water Bay Peninsula is a bit too "Rolls-Royce", which inevitably attracts some doubts.
This year's Nobel Prize will not be announced until October, and history has changed, and no one knows if Dr. Smith will be able to win this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry as future generations do. The charter did not want to be scolded for 8 months or even longer, so it formulated a set of plans to divert public opinion and eliminate the negative effects as much as possible a year ago.
During the Chinese New Year, NB Airlines' route from Leipzig to Hong Kong had a dismal load factor. As a scheduled flight, it cannot be grounded due to low occupancy.
With the efforts of the group's headquarters and European companies, NB Airlines and Pan Europe International Travel Agency were the sponsors to invite the Leipzig Gwandhaus Orchestra and the St. Thomas Choir to Hong Kong for several New Year's concerts.
Music, like sunshine, air and water, is an indispensable part of German life.
Bach, Handel, Haydn, Gluck, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Beethoven's operas, Handel's symphonies, Schubert's trios, Gluck's trios...... The well-known German music masters and well-known symphonies have made Germany a world-class pride.
Founded in Leipzig in 1743, the Gwandhaus Orchestra is a world-class orchestra alongside the Vienna Philharmonic, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Munich Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestre National de France.
The Thomas Choir is also known all over the world, and was nurtured by St. Thomas Church Concerter, organist and choir conductor Bach! Many professional singers and musicians, including pop musicians, have been members of the St. Thomas Choir.
Since 1920, the Leipzig Gwandhaus Orchestra and the Thomas Boys' Choir have performed together every Friday and Saturday at St. Thomas's Church in Leipzig.
To be able to invite them to Hong Kong at the same time and hold a world-class New Year's concert on the first day of the Lunar New Year is as unprecedented in Hong Kong as the "Yuanwang" polar expedition.
The Hong Kong Culture and Arts Centre Concert Hall not far away has a total of more than 2,000 seats, and for such a show, tickets can only be distributed by NB Electric and cannot be sold publicly.
Senior officials of the Hong Kong government, envoys from various countries, and church figures account for nearly half. Including the seats reserved for teachers and students of the School of Music of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and the Hong Kong International Music School, as well as Hong Kong celebrities such as Mr. Lee, Mr. Koo, Mr. Ho, Mr. Shao and Mr. Chow, the concert that starts on time in an hour and a half is hard to find.
How did Zhang Guangming know how difficult the tickets were, how difficult the "International Chapter" was, and asked impatiently: "Just call him and ask him to come and sit, as for making it so troublesome?" ”
"Make a phone call?"
Gu Jiaheng was completely convinced, pointed to the ticket and said very seriously: "Brother Guangming, this is Hong Kong, not the mainland, even if the governor of Hong Kong wants to see him, he has to make an appointment in advance, and whether he can meet him after the appointment depends on whether he has time and whether he is willing!" The concert that will be held later is not the same party that BJ did last night, but it will be performed by the world's top orchestra and boys' choir, which can only be heard in Germany if you miss this opportunity.
The Governor, the Chief Secretary, the Chief Justice, the Financial Secretary, Consuls in Hong Kong...... Almost all of them come, and it can be said that the ticket is a status symbol. Our Gu family got 16 tickets, and most of them had to be given away, in order to help you steal this ticket, so that you could have a chance to meet him, the old man almost didn't break my leg. ”
Even the Governor of Hong Kong has to make an appointment in advance if he wants to see him, and the shelf is not small! Zhang Guangming picked up the ticket and looked at it, and then asked, "Then are you sure he will come?" ”
"He's the organizer of the concert and he's definitely coming." (To be continued......)
