I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 156 [Charity Fundraising]

"I want to be a wealthy family on Hong Kong Island ()"

Wu Guangyao first asked the Chief Secretary to prepare to go to the stage, proposed this donation to everyone, and then left the rest to himself!

The chief secretary was naturally willing. After all, he didn't really want to embarrass Wu Guangyao, but simply wanted to raise some funds for the relief of refugees.

Although it is a colonial government, colonial officials also have political achievements. If refugees starve to death or make trouble in the colonies, they will also be impeached by the British Parliament.

Therefore, the Hong Kong government is also trying to find a way to solve the problem of these refugees!

But after all, millions of refugees have been added at once, and the Hong Kong government certainly feels tremendous pressure!

Governor Ge Lianghong is obviously a good governor, otherwise future generations would not be rated as the most outstanding governor on Hong Kong Island.

It was not until Governor MacLehose appeared in the 1970s that this statement changed.

Wu Guangyao also felt that the Hong Kong government was actually managing Hong Kong Island with all its heart.

First of all, giving businessmen cheap industrial land and ultra-low tax rates is the fundamental solution to the refugee problem.

After all, these businessmen from the mainland need capital, technology, and equipment. The Hong Kong government only needs to give a good policy, and then Hong Kong Island will be the next Shanghai.

As soon as there are more factories, the number of refugees will naturally decrease. Who will be a refugee if there is a job?

"Everyone, I'm really sorry for disturbing everyone's pleasure! However, there are so many refugees outside, if you don't appease, then Hong Kong Island will not be peaceful. So I hope that everyone can donate generously today, out of humanitarianism, to give them some help..."

The faces of the people in the audience remained calm. Even if they had objections, they did not dare to give the chief secretary any shame.

Even if there is an opinion, it must be blamed on Wu Guangyao!

Of course, Wu Guangyao's mind has already turned a few corners, and he must not pour this dung on himself.

Wu Guangyao then walked to the podium and said, "Everyone, it's a bit extravagant to hold the 'Hundred Day Banquet' today. I feel ashamed. The Chief Secretary told me about this just now. I thought about it. It's a good thing. Agreed. Thinking of those of our compatriots who are still poor outside, can’t eat two meals, are exposed to wind and rain, and barely make ends meet. Therefore, a simple fundraising activity is held here, and we will hand over the fundraising funds to Bu The Chief Secretary resettled refugees on his behalf. Of course, donating or not donating is all voluntary, donating more or less is a kindness. This money is used to resettle the refugees there, and I will place a merit monument there..."

Eloquently said some sensational words to adjust the atmosphere.

First of all, point the spearhead at the Chief Secretary. He asked himself to organize donations, and I, Wu Guangyao, can't twist my thighs.

Then, he expressed that the fundraising was voluntary, within his capacity, and arranged a process that could maintain a certain degree of privacy.

Let everyone feel that even if you don't donate, no one will know, and you won't lose face!

After speaking, Wu Guangyao shot at the people in the audience. Fortunately, many of you showed a positive side.

Fortunately, they are all Wu Guangyao's relatives, friends, and business partners, and they will save face to some extent.

Wu Guangyao found five subordinate managers, with paper and pen in hand, ready to register.

The guests raised their hands to signal that they wanted to donate money, and asked the recorder to quickly come to the guests, write down their names and donation amounts, and asked whether it would be made public.

In this way, if the guests are unwilling to donate, or donate less, it will not be affected. After all, there are so many people, who will pay attention to you!

At the same time, for those who donated more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, Wu Guangyao asked the recorder to shout out to show his honor.

Then Wu Guangyao took the lead in donating 100,000 Hong Kong dollars as gift money he got today, and an additional 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, making a good start.

Because it is my home field, I can't lose face!

Moreover, Wu Guangyao has many ways to make money, and 150,000 Hong Kong dollars can be regarded as a good deed for the eldest son!

"The Ho Tung family, 30,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

"Deyun Textile Lin Youde, 20,000 Hong Kong dollars"

"Zhou Yongtai's family, 20,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

"HSBC, 20,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

 …

"Macau He Xian,

10,000 Hong Kong dollars! "

"Jinshan Shipping Dong Yunhao, 10,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

"Shengcai Tailor Lin Shengcai, 10,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

"Macau Zhong Ziguang, 10,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

.....

Many people donated tens of thousands, so the whole banquet can only be held slowly, so that everyone's name, family, and company can be sung.

Until 9 o'clock in the evening, when the banquet was about to end, the statistics came out, a total of 685,000 Hong Kong dollars.

You should know that many of the people who came were ordinary families, such as Wu Guangyao's executives, whose monthly salary was only about two hundred Hong Kong dollars, so it would be nice to donate three to five hundred Hong Kong dollars.

So being able to donate 685,000 Hong Kong dollars is already a very good result!

685,000 Hong Kong dollars, if the purchasing power in 2020 is counted, Wu Guangyao believes that it will probably be hundreds of millions!

It could be seen that the Chief Secretary was very happy, and quickly came to the stage to say that the money will be put to practical use, and he will announce the use details to the outside world.

This time, everyone finally stretched their brows. It seems that this is really the Hong Kong government doing practical things!

The people who were rescued were all Chinese. The more active the Hong Kong government is in this regard, the more gratified these businessmen will be.

The Chinese people are still united. Wu Guangyao remembers that there were several times of fleeing Hong Kong. Thousands of inland asylum seekers came to Hong Kong Island. When the Hong Kong government was about to send police and troops to arrest and return to the mainland.

There is a photo that moved Wu Guangyao in particular, that is tens of thousands of people from Hong Kong Island sitting quietly on the road, blocking the way of military vehicles.

And some citizens directed those refugees to escape from and go to the urban area, so that they can become Hong Kong Islanders.

Hong Kong Islanders in this era think that they are Chinese from the bottom of their hearts, and their sense of belonging is no worse than that of mainlanders.

Besides, in everyone's heart, Hong Kong Island is the land of China!

When the banquet ended, Wu Guangyao tried his best to thank every guest!

Everyone can also see that Wu Guangyao is really showing his true feelings, and he didn't mean to let everyone waste money!

They patted the young Wu Guangyao on the shoulder to express their understanding!

After this banquet, I also reminded Wu Guangyao that accidents are easy to happen if you are too ostentatious!

If it weren't for his cleverness, today's fundraising would probably make him offend many people!

Of course, this is a good thing in itself, but I'm afraid that a good thing will turn into a bad thing!

These foreigners don't even think about the Chinese people's ideas when they do it, they go straight and don't know how to change it!

.........

Back home, Lin Yueru was still worried, and said to Wu Guangyao: "Today, the Hong Kong government will be good people, but leave the bad ones to you! Whoever donates tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars does not feel sad. Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars is an ordinary worker for 30 years. salary."

Yes, what Lin Yueru said is right, many people have heartache expressions after donating money today.

Obviously, for that libretto, he also made up his mind.

Moreover, because the Chief Secretary seems to be observing and recording, some businessmen dare not take the risk of not singing.

Among them was Zheng Yutong, who donated 10,000 today, but Wu Guangyao knew that his net worth was only 200,000.

After all, everyone is in the same industry, and Chow Tai Fook knows how much he earns every year, and he is not alone in Chow Tai Fook.

Zheng Yutong's heartbroken expression flashed by, but it was still captured by Wu Guangyao!

Of course, many people were also moved when they heard that Wu Guangyao wanted to set up a merit book on the land where the donation was made, and record the names of these people.

Moreover, Wu Guangyao also plans to publish the details of these people's donations in the "Oriental Daily", and will of course consult these people for their opinions.

Wu Guangyao comforted Lin Yueru a few words, saying that this is not a bad thing, and it will not cause any trouble!

Lin Yueru just felt relieved, and if her husband made enemies, she would naturally feel uneasy.
