Chapter Eighty-Eight: When a Rich Businessman Donates, the People Will Follow Suit
"Ah Yi, what do you think of my dress?" Lu Guohua was a little nervous and arranged his bow tie.
"Handsome, Qi Ye." Qin Yi stretched out his hand to help Lu Guohua smooth out the folds of his suit, "Absolutely beautiful boy at the banquet." ”
"What a pretty boy, I'm almost forty." Lu Guohua patted Qin Yi and Lu Zhilian one by one, "After you go in for a while, it's good for you to go around by yourself and make more friends." ”
"I heard that there are many celebrities, Brother Lian is from Hong Kong Island University, and I can rely on this identity to meet more alumni." Qin Yi looked at Lu Zhilian with a smile.
Lu Zhilian looked sluggish, "There are so many graduates of Hong Kong Island University every year, and there are many alumni, how can people know me?" ”
"You follow Jian Dazheng a lot, and let him introduce you." Qin Yi snapped his fingers, "I'll take you to Jian Dazhu when I go in a while." ”
"That's it, you young people should be active, I'll stay by and wait for you."
"Wouldn't it be boring for you to be on your own."
"How come, I want to see what is delicious at the banquet, I finally came once, it is important to eat enough." Lu Guohua said confidently.
"Isn't it, Old Bean?" Lu Zhilian was dumbfounded by the idea of his father.
Qin Yi gave a thumbs up, "Well done, Qi Ye." ”
The three of them were talking and laughing, when suddenly there was a commotion at the door of the hotel, and countless people were surging.
The paparazzi reporters who were originally squatting on the ground scurried up as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and rushed towards the red carpet at the door.
The uniformed police officers on duty at the entrance of the hotel hurriedly met them and pushed the reporters out desperately to prevent them from blocking the hotel door.
At this time, a Rolls-Royce slowly drove over and stopped in front of the hotel.
"Kacha Kacha!"
Countless flashes lit up, and photojournalists with long guns and short guns were not stingy with their films, desperately trying to find angles, crowded and pushing, and several people were still fighting for positions.
"Mr. Wong, what do you think of the economy of Hong Kong Island?"
"Mr. Huang, are you and that female star real?"
"Mr. Huang, do you really have an illegitimate child!"
The shouts drowned out the car horns, and the police officers who maintained order held hands and desperately blocked the surging crowd.
As soon as the car door opened, several people in black suits immediately surrounded them, and the people who got out of the car walked straight into the hotel.
The fast-paced reporters didn't have time to take pictures, and the onlookers who were blocked out didn't even see a shadow.
"Wow, that's an exaggeration!" Lu Zhilian stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to watch.
Lu Guohua pulled him, "Let's go, what's there to see." ”
"Who is this? Such a big show? Qin Yi asked casually.
"Huang Chengju, the eldest prince of Huang Jiatai, the richest man on Hong Kong Island." Lu Guohua said disdainfully, "Rich people follow a bunch of paparazzi everywhere, like flies that smell." ”
"With so many policemen protecting him, he has a big face." Lu Zhilian was a little surprised.
"What kind of face, the first brother is also coming to the banquet, and of course the security is responsible for his own people." Lu Guohua was a little impatient, "You can see it up close as soon as you go in, it's better than squeezing here." ”
Qin Yi glanced at the dense crowd, ready to take out the phone and call Jian Aowei.
Suddenly, a familiar figure struggled through the gap in the crowd, raised his hands and shouted, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Lu, here!" ”
Jian Aowei wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'm sorry, there are too many people, and I'm delaying your time." ”
"Don't delay, anyway, the banquet won't start until eight o'clock, and it's nearly an hour away." Qin Yi smiled, "Wow, I didn't expect so many people today." ”
"There are a lot of people attending the banquet today, in addition to those rich businessmen and celebrities, there are also some celebrities, representatives of various associations, industry and commerce." Jian Aowei also sighed, "It's the first time I've seen such a large banquet. ”
"Come on in, I'm hungry." Lu Guohua urged.
"Come with me, I'll take you through the side door."
After speaking, Jian Aowei led the way and pushed away the crowd.
……
The lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
Huang Chengju walked to the elevator surrounded by everyone, holding the big brother as he walked.
"Father, I've arrived."
"Those people are not easy to deal with, you might as well speak more bluntly."
"I see, father."
"Whether the bonds can be sold this time depends on how they express their position, and you can pay for them first and let them all follow."
"These people are all old foxes, why do you have to let them pay first?"
"This kind of thing is to let the rich businessmen pay first and bring the people to donate money. When rich businessmen donate, the people will donate. ”
"Will the rich merchant's money be returned after the donation?"
"Retreat?" sneered on the phone, "Now that the ancestral family is in a hurry, how can this money be returned, not only can it not be returned, but it must be made to them pay more, and if they pay more, we can pay less." ”
"I see, father."
Huang Chengju hung up the phone and walked straight into the elevator.
The elevator slowly rose and stopped on the top floor, and Huang Chengju's assistant took the lead in stepping down the elevator to clear the way for his boss.
The group walked through the long corridor and came to the door of the VIP conference room.
Pushing open the door, it was already full of people, and there were nearly 20 middle-aged and elderly people in suits and leather shoes sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Huang Chengju smiled and walked in quickly.
"Uncles, I'm sorry, my little nephew is late, and I'll punish myself for three cups in a while." Huang Chengju skillfully greeted several people who were close to each other.
"My father has an urgent matter to stay in London, and he can't come back for the time being, so let me come forward to entertain your uncles, if there is anything rude, please forgive me, don't worry about my little nephew."
"Nephew, your Changhe Group is engaged in such a big battle, won't you just invite a few of us old guys to a bar?" An old man in his fifties with a Mediterranean hairstyle was the first to ask.
"Uncles, since this is the case, the little nephew will get straight to the point and make his words clear." Huang Chengju glanced around, with a smile on his face, "Recently, the country has issued a new batch of one-year bonds, and Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia are underwritten by our Changhe. ”
"This bond yields 15%!"
As soon as Huang Chengju's words came out, he was suddenly shocked.
“15%?!”
"Last year, the highest was only 11.62%, and this year it has reached 15%, which is a lot of bleeding."
"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief."
"This yield is really good, but is there any risk?"
"There is no risk in doing anything in the world, you may choke to death if you sit at home, and you can't make a fortune for fear of risk."
Huang Chengju smiled and looked at the people who were talking, "Uncles, be quiet." ”
The voice in the conference room gradually disappeared, and everyone's eyes looked at Huang Chengju, in the oppressive eyes of many people, Huang Chengju was a little empty in his heart, but then he straightened his waist, and the smile on his face became even brighter, as if to increase his persuasiveness.
"This batch of bonds is issued by the central bank of the country, the credibility is absolutely guaranteed, and the promise of such a high yield is also given based on the strong strength of our Changhe Group, the number of bonds is limited, rather than cheap outsiders, it is better to share the benefits to others." Huang Chengju smiled, "How is it, what do you uncles say?" ”
Benefits to your own people?!
I believe you are a ghost, if there is a benefit, you will swallow it yourself, and you can also cheapen outsiders.
Who was sitting in the conference room was not an old fox in the mall, who would be bluffed by Huang Chengju, a hairy boy, in a few words.
Seeing that it was cold, Huang Chengju was not surprised, and said unhurriedly: "Since everyone has concerns, then our family will come first and subscribe for 500 million." ”
"Hehe, since the Huang family paid for it, isn't it too faceless for us not to buy it." A middle-aged man laughed and said, "Then I'll buy 100 million first." ”
"My family's strength is not as good as yours, so I will buy 50 million first."
"Then I'll buy 30 million first."
"You guys are too stingy, why is it that the eldest son of the Huang family came forward in person, and you will give tens of millions? I'll give 100 million. ”
Huang Chengju looked at the other few people who hadn't spoken yet, and his smile became less warm, "Uncle Zhu, Uncle Zhao, everyone has subscribed, don't you subscribe some?" ”
The old man with a Mediterranean hair smiled and lit a cigar, "Then I'll buy a few million too." ”
The middle-aged man with a gloomy face was silent for a few seconds, and then laughed, "Can we buy it too?" ”
"Of course, this batch of bonds is a benefit to Hong Kong Island people, and everyone can buy it." Huang Chengju's smile gradually cooled, "What other concerns do the two uncles have?" ”
The two looked at each other and did not speak.
"How did your money come from, everyone knows it, but it just doesn't break it, and now you are asked to subscribe for bonds, it is the ancestral family that gave you a step, you must seize this opportunity." Although Huang Chengju said with a smile, his tone was not so kind, "Don't think that the Hong Kong Island Police Force really can't do anything about you." ”
"Okay, then I'll buy 50 million." The old man surnamed Zhu immediately said.
"I'll buy 100 million." The middle-aged man followed.
"Good!" Huang Chengju clapped his palms, "Uncles, I forgot to tell you in advance about something just now. “
"These bonds are not denominated in Hong Kong dollars, but in US dollars." Huang Chengju's smile became brighter and brighter, "Our Huang family is 500 million US dollars, presumably your uncles will not be too stingy." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the conference room.
"Dollars? Why don't you go and grab it? ”
"Where are we going to get so many dollars?"
"100 million dollars? Can I still do my business? ”
Huang Chengju faced the fierce accusations, and his smile remained the same, "You don't have dollars, but we have a long river, and we don't have a long river, so I don't have to let you suffer." ”
Seeing that the people in the audience wanted to speak and stopped, as if they wanted to repent, Huang Chengju immediately added, "This is the welfare given to you by the ancestral family, why don't you know how to lift it, you also have a lot of industries in the country, how to choose, I think everyone knows it in their hearts." ”
There was silence in the room.
