Hong Kong Island, 1991.

In the northern suburbs of Yuen Long, there is a noisy sound of gongs and drums, and the construction site is full of energy.

Mr. Zhou Xingzu, a well-known gambling saint on Hong Kong Island, wore a red hard hat of "safety first" and patrolled the construction site with a construction map.

This is the construction site of the third "Knowledge Primary School" in Yuen Long District, and he is followed by the Yuen Long District Police Commissioner, Justice of the Peace, the President of the Hong Kong Island Chamber of Commerce, the President of the Hong Kong Island Charity Association, and more than a dozen celebrities.

These celebrities are the same as Zhou Xingzu, wearing hard hats on their heads and looking at the construction site with a smile on their faces. However, Zhou Xingzu is really reviewing the quality of the project and the progress of the construction, and the celebrities just came out to accompany him on the catwalk.

"Hello Mr. Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou, you're here again today."

"Don't look at me, just do your own thing."

Where Zhou Xingzu passed by, the workers listened and greeted him. The reverence on the lips, without the slightest artificiality and falsehood.

Zhou Xingzu would wave his hand and ask his assistants to bring down the mineral water from the car and distribute it to the workers.

In the movie world, waiting for the year when the plot of "The Gambler" opens. Zhou Xingzu was a little idle at first, and enjoyed it for a while, but then he always felt that this was too boring, so he simply began to find something to do.

What to do?

Zhou Xingzu feels that he should do something meaningful, these things are difficult for him to do in reality, but he might as well make a little effort in the movie world.

Although this is only a movie world, everything in life is no different from the real world at all, and it can be regarded as a real plane world.

If you can bring a little bit of good change to the world, it will not be in vain for a period of time here.

In the past year or so, Zhou Xingzu has already integrated into this world.

So Zhou Xingzu decided to do charity!

He first did what he said and invested all the $200 million prize money of the World Gambling Championship into charity. He personally established a charitable foundation called "Knowledge School", which is committed to building public welfare primary schools, so that poor out-of-school children can go to school and change their lives with knowledge.

Although Hong Kong Island is now known as the "Asian Tigers", there are still many children in poor shacks who cannot afford to go to school.

Why did the Hong Kong Island gang grow so quickly in the 90s?

It is because there are so many out-of-school children that many children do not receive a good education.

In just one year, there have been 12 "knowledge primary schools" on Hong Kong Island, and they are all distributed in Kwun Tong, Tai Po, Tuen Mun, Tsuen Wan, Yuen Long and other poor suburbs.

At present, the construction site where Zhou Xingzu is located is located in Yuen Long District, which is the third "knowledge primary school" in Yuen Long District.

In addition, three of the 12 schools that have started construction have officially opened, and each elementary school has more than 1,000 students.

In addition to the Knowledge Primary School, Zhou Xingzu's plan to build a Knowledge Middle School has also been put on the agenda.

As for universities, they belong to higher education, and it is no longer Zhou Xingzu's business. All he wanted to do was get to secondary education. After all, high-level education is not something he can do alone, let alone in one or two years.

And in order to take care of the feelings of the students, Zhou Xingzu did not name the name of the school with words such as "charity", "public welfare" and "love". I just don't want to give children a feeling of being giving, and sometimes giving is a heavy pressure on children's young hearts.

Simple "knowledge" is enough, and it can fully entrust the vision in Zhou Xingzu's heart, so the names of charitable foundations and schools are called "knowledge".

Zhou Xingzu's actions have also gained a lot of fame invisibly. Now he is definitely the most famous philanthropist on Hong Kong Island, belongs to the highest high society on Hong Kong Island, and contacts are high-ranking officials and celebrities, rich tycoons, and his name can be seen in the newspapers from time to time.

It's just that recently, Zhou Xingzu felt that he needed to keep a low profile, so he sent someone to say hello to the newspaper, and the reports about him gradually became fewer.

But his reputation as "the No. 1 philanthropist on Hong Kong Island" has definitely overshadowed his "gambling saint".

Some time ago, the Hong Kong Island Charity Federation wanted to invite him to serve as the honorary president, but Zhou Xingzu politely declined. Later, rumors spread that the Governor of Hong Kong would most likely grant him the title of Justice of the Peace.

You must know that the Justices of the Peace have a decisive influence in the Hong Kong Island society, and they also have a certain amount of judicial power, and they will be awarded medals.

Zhou Xingzu will politely refuse the false name of the Charity Federation, but he will not refuse the title of Justice of the Peace.

After all, the medal must be able to be settled into prestige, just for prestige, Zhou Xingzu already plans to work hard.

However, according to some sources, the heat is still a little worse now.

After inspecting the completion site, Zhou Xingzu and a group of celebrities went to the Victoria Hotel together to participate in a charity dinner.

After all, doing charity is tantamount to spilling money, although Zhou Xingzu has 200 million US dollars as the start-up capital of his charity fund, it is actually not too much.

The 12 primary schools spent a lot of money on buying land, starting construction, etc., including the cost of various workers, which were almost used in the early days.

This is still under the condition that the local administrative officials and celebrities on Hong Kong Island have given the green light.

What's more, when the school opens, students' books, tuition and miscellaneous fees, and even student meals are completely free. Combined with the salaries of the teachers, this is another huge investment, and it is a continuous, long-term investment.

$200 million is obviously not enough.

Of course, Zhou Xingzu had already made a comprehensive plan before starting to build the primary school.

He has fully invested 50% of the annual casino dividends into the charity fund to maintain all the expenses of the school in the long run.

In the past year, Chen Song has already entered Hong Kong Island, completely confirmed the status of "the No. 1 gambling king in Hong Kong and Taiwan", and is attacking the position of "Asian gambling king".

And Hong Guang's body has already been thrown into the Xiangjiang River to feed the fish.

Chen Song also abides by Chengruo, and really handed over all the casinos on Hong Kong Island to Zhou Xingzu to manage, and can get 50% of the dividends every year

Now almost all the high-grade fields on Hong Kong Island are nominally Zhou Xingzu's territory. It's just that Zhou Xingzu rarely shows up and has become a big man hidden behind the scenes. Only when he occasionally encounters a gambling master who is piercing, will he go out to show his skills.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Xingzu invested fifty percent of his annual dividends into charity. The name of the saint in the gambling world is really sitting firmly.

In fact, only he knows that whether it is 200 million US dollars or annual dividends, he can't squander it, and use it for charity, but it is the most appropriate and meaningful use. And invisibly, it can also bring him a lot of benefits.

As for the charity dinner held at the Victoria Hotel tonight, the purpose of fundraising is to launch the "Knowledge Middle School".

The "Knowledge School" Charity Fund, if you want to start the "Knowledge Middle School" project, there is still a relatively large gap, and Zhou Xingzu's current strength alone is not enough.

Moreover, if you want a charitable foundation to survive for a long time, it is obviously impossible to rely on the strength of one person alone. There have to be more people on board, and all of them have to be powerful celebrities.
