Chapter 67 Welcome Party in Hong Kong
William made a phone call to the mayor of New York and expressed his gratitude to the mayor for his unwavering support of the Eve Group today. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Later, he said that he supports freedom of speech, and that reporter Louise Lynn's report is supported by data, although the speech is a bit extreme, but he cannot retaliate.
He also euphemistically said that it is better to turn the page quickly and not let the Internet public opinion expand.
On the other end of the phone, the mayor of New York City naturally comforted William several times and reassured him, saying that the New York City government has always supported charitable enterprises with a conscience and a sense of social responsibility.
The Eve Group's tremendous contribution to New York City will not be forgotten by the City of New York, among others.
The phone call between the two lasted more than ten minutes, and Vicky Val listened to it.
She felt the power in the hands of men, and suddenly felt how ridiculous it seemed that as a journalist, she was fighting for a Pulitzer Prize.
After making this call, William suddenly realized that there were six missed calls on his phone.
One of them called and later sent a text message, mainly to report the progress of dealing with online rumors and information.
There were also four phone calls, from the CEO of the company controlled by the Eve Group Venture Capital Fund, and the calls were all to offer condolences.
William called back one by one, and the last call turned out to be an unfamiliar number.
After checking the information system, William remembered that it was Zhang Xiaofan's friend's wife who called.
After thinking about it for a moment, William still dialed back.
"William?!"
A gentle female voice appeared on the other end of the phone.
"Is it, Aunt Harvey?"
Through the mobile phone video, William has seen the beautiful woman in the nightdress, who is Zhang Xiaofan's friend's wife.
"Oh, William, are you resting?" Mrs. Harvey had remarried by this time.
Mrs. Harvey's real name is Sophie Wayne.
She and Bruce Wayne are distant relatives.
She was a famous American model when she was young, and later married the famous actor Lawrence Harvey and became Mrs. Harvey.
Her husband died in a car accident in '93, and two years later, she remarried another actor - Mark Waldman.
And Lawrence Harvey, who was the leader of Fox Film Company during his lifetime, and the few movies that brought Fox to turn things around were all starring Lawrence Harvey.
Lawrence Harvey was willing to switch jobs from his original company to Fox because Zhang Xiaofan did him a big favor.
Later, at the request of Lawrence Harvey, Zhang Xiaofan became his daughter's godfather.
When Zhang Xiaofan announced his retirement and left his post to go on an interstellar trip, Lawrence Harvey's daughter also came to the send-off banquet on that day.
At parting, Nancy saw that the girl liked to drink, so she gave her the most precious bottle of ice wine she treasured.
The super cast "Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy", which is about to be filmed, is Mrs. Harvey's daughter, who is her 'godsister', to be the heroine.
"Aunt Harvey, is there anything wrong with the call?" Although William has a good relationship with Lawrence Harvey's daughter, he does not have much contact with this remarried beautiful woman.
"I saw the information on the Internet and just wanted to ask, is there anything you need my help with? I have some friends in the entertainment industry, I can help Eve promote it and avoid those rumors......"
William smiled bitterly, the bitter trick of the Eve Group really touched the hearts of many people.
finally returned the call, accompanied by Vichyval, William went out of the study and arrived in the living room, several women had not returned to the room to rest, and it seemed that they were all tossed by various Internet rumors.
After driving the women back to their rooms, William drove Vicky Val back, a woman who was not fit to stay at Zhang's Villa today.
Sending Vicky Val away, William collected information and only received a few condolence calls, but many treacherous and cunning guys took advantage of this opportunity to send warmth and favors to the Eve Group.
According to preliminary estimates, in one afternoon, more than 30 families refuted rumors about the Eve Group or its subsidiaries through official channels.
And these are heavy favors, which will be repaid in the future.
At this time, William also has to rejoice that the era of online big data has not yet arrived, so the rumors on the Internet seem to be on a grand scale, but in fact, they did not cause any waves in the original peaceful life.
To do a play, you have to do a full set, otherwise it is easy to goof.
At the same time, the plan formulated must be implemented, and it must be implemented without delay.
The day after Louise Lynne reported on the Eve Group, William made a trip plan for January, and he would take Nancy and Julie to Xiangjiang, the Pearl of the Orient.
In this time and space, China was not invaded by foreign countries, let alone reduced to a semi-feudal and semi-colony, but there were some places that were once occupied by the Japanese state.
Among them, Treasure Island and Xiangjiang are one of them.
Although the occupation was short-lived, it was recovered in just over three months, but it brought great damage to both places.
After the Second World War, during the War of Civil Liberation, Baodao and Xiangjiang respectively established the SAR government, which became two independent regions of China.
Ten years ago, the first generation of warlords who controlled Xiangjiang died one after another, and the second generation of warlords negotiated with the central government of China and declared peaceful liberation, but the economy and political system remained the same structure.
When the United States saw that Xiangjiang was being taken back by China, it immediately intensified its control over the treasure island, and at the same time sent more US troops to Japan, thus making the atmosphere in the Asia-Pacific region tense.
The fourth-generation warlords of Baodao seized the opportunity to rise and held tens of millions of Chinese compatriots hostage in a vain attempt for independence.
Whether it is Treasure Island or Xiangjiang, they were all dependent on the military support of the United States before, so William took two women to Xiangjiang for a private tour, and the US government did not pay too much attention to it.
It's just that before he comes to think about it, William still needs to communicate with the underground gang forces triad in Xiangjiang, don't make trouble, otherwise his trip is likely to end in vain.
And the predecessor of the triad was Hongmen.
In the past few decades, there have been four major historical gangs in the world, namely the Chinese Hongmen and Qinggang, the Italian mafia, and the South American drug lords. There was a direct flight from New York to Hong Kong, which took about 13 hours, but William and his two daughters first went to Hawaii and stopped for a few days. Since it's out to play, of course, it's going to go while playing.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I'm He Zhongping."
"Hello, Mr. Ho."
William didn't expect that two days after entering Xiangjiang, he met 'Little Brother Ma'.
It can only be said that the Xiangjiang area is too small, and there are many movie stars and movie plots here.
After thinking about it for a while, I didn't remember that 'Little Brother Ma' was called 'He Zhongping' in what movie.
Just nodded and smiled directly, and didn't talk much.
"Mr. Zhang, this is my business card," He Zhongping's attitude is still relatively firm, he can follow William to the elevator, and he will definitely not let himself return in vain.
"It turned out to be the chairman of Zhongxin Commerce, and I really admired it for a long time," William took the business card with both hands, and then glanced at it, and the information of Zhongxin Commerce and Trade quickly jumped out of his mind.
William stretched out his hand and shook He Zhongping again, and praised: "Mr. He started from scratch, and I want to ask Mr. He for more advice in today's seminar." ”
"Mr. Zhang has a good reputation, the Eve Group is the pride of our Chinese, and Mr. Zhang's willingness to guide the work of the Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong is worth learning from."
He Zhongping has a gentle personality and is not very old, he is only forty years old this year, even if he founded Zhongxin Commerce and Trade from scratch, he will never dare to call himself William's elder.
"President Huo is too polite, I was originally traveling, but I didn't expect Mr. Huo to arrange this meeting with friends in the business community in Hong Kong."
William said 'Mr. Huo' with a hint of respect in his tone, and his body tilted slightly, and behind him stood a young man.
"My father was fortunate enough to organize this meeting, on the one hand, he also hoped to put forward higher development ideas for the future construction of Xiangjiang, and secondly, Mr. Zhang's father, Mr. Zhang Xiaofan, had come to Xiangjiang three years ago. I still remember that he said that if Mr. Zhang came to Xiangjiang, he would ask his friends in Xiangjiang to communicate and cooperate more. ”
Huo Fengqi is the eldest son of President Huo of the Xiangjiang Chamber of Commerce, and he is also the host who accompanied William this time.
"Mr. Huo is right, after Mr. Zhang Xiaofan came to Xiangjiang, our Xiangjiang Chamber of Commerce was ...... at that time."
The three of them didn't talk for a long time, mostly gossiping, and took the elevator together to the conference room on the 72nd floor, which was already full of business elites from Xiangjiang, and even some political officials.
Glancing at the crowd, they were basically black-haired and yellow-skinned, most of them were wearing suits and leather shoes, and some were wearing Mao suits.
Without exception, all eyes showed great enthusiasm after seeing William.
"Mr. Xianyu, hello," William only took two steps, but he didn't expect that Mr. Xianyu, a veteran capitalist in the Xiangjiang business community who was already in his nineties, ran out.
This person's qualifications are too old, even if Zhang Xiaofan came over last time, he just asked someone to say hello, but he didn't expect to show up at the meeting with face this time, I don't know what to say.
"William, come and sit here."
Huo Fengqi's father, Huo Chang, was full of white hair and had a kind attitude, beckoned William to sit beside him.
Looking up, most of the Xiangjiang business elites and bigwigs present are characters they often see on TV, and they can only secretly stick out their tongues, which is worthy of the movie world.
If it is a private meeting, there may be something new to the meeting, and the meeting of hundreds of people together, according to the habit of the Chinese people, is read from the script, and the conversation book is prepared in advance.
When William told him about the cooperation project that the Eve Group was planning to carry out with Huaxia recently, he was stopped by President Huo.
"Xiao Zhang, there is a Mr. Song who just came to Xiangjiang from the mainland, I heard that you are here, and I want to meet you, but unfortunately I have something to do and return to the mainland. He asked me to ask you if you could stay in Xiangjiang for a few more days, and he would rush back as soon as possible. ”
