We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 274 Lively December
Hong Kong Island in December is extremely lively, especially for media workers.

There is really so much news that can be reported, and there is no need to go out and look for it because it is everywhere.

Among all the news, the most important ones are four major events.

The first was the merger of the four institutes that began on January 1983, 1.

This marks that the past era of chaotic trading with four coexistences is a thing of the past, and Hong Kong stocks have ushered in a new era, the era of the United Exchange.

Hong Kong Island is a country where all people speculate in the stock market, and the people are the most sensitive to news about the stock market. This can be seen from the fact that major newspapers have more or less news about the stock market every day.

The merger of the four exchanges will definitely lead to the prosperity of the Hong Kong stock market to a certain extent. In particular, the electronic accounting and settlement method promoted by Peng Zhili and Li Fuzhao, the confirmed first chairman of the Stock Exchange, will greatly enhance the security and speed of stocks. .

In the past, it was a physical settlement method of handing over stocks and handing over checks. However, when stock market crashes and large-scale sell-offs occur, it will lead to a situation where the accumulation cannot be dealt with in a timely manner, and traders running around the field will collide and be hit with bloodshed. It happens from time to time.

In fact, the driving force behind this incident was Luo Nianzhong. The entire electronic system of the Stock Exchange was designed and installed by Far East Group for free.

Luo Nianzhong wants to be a good person and show kindness?

How is this possible? The biggest beneficiary of this matter is Far East Bank.

Electronic trading requires a complete and reliable trading center, and Luo Nianzhong came here based on this.

What are the benefits of becoming the central clearing center for Hong Kong stocks? This means that all the capital in the Hong Kong stock market is no secret to Luo Nianzhong.

After being interconnected with Rabbit in the future, all foreign funds and local funds investing in the Rabbit stock market will have to go through the central clearing center of Far East Bank.

It's like a man walking into the women's bathroom, but all the women are blind and can't see you. You can admire it as much as you want, and it doesn't matter if you take pictures.

It can be said that you know every detail of the other person's body without her knowledge, down to the hairs on her head, and you are already invincible.

Black camera obscura? Isn’t this all “public” stuff in the stock market? Otherwise most people on Wall Street would starve to death.

The second thing is also related to the first thing, that is, the listing news of several Far East companies after the merger of the four institutions.

Starting half a month ago, Far East Chip, Honor Computer, and Far East Systems have successively launched global roadshows. For a time, investors around the world fell into a carnival.

Everyone believes that just like the Honor game back then, the Far East series will once again set off a craze for the stock market and investors.

This is also true. In the first stop of Beautiful Country alone, the subscription amount of three companies exceeded dozens of times.

As soon as the news came out, it was like pouring gasoline into a raging fire. Hong Kong media even called the popularity of these three companies the Sanwei Zhenhuo.

The landing of three giant companies on Hong Kong Island will greatly increase the scale of Hong Kong stocks, mobilize capital liquidity, and the economy will get better and better.

Although it will cause turbulence to other stocks in the Hong Kong stock market in the short term, it is definitely promising in the long term, and together with the entire Hong Kong stock market, it will attract the attention of global capital.

The third news is the linked exchange rate system. Starting from January 7.8 next year, the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar will adopt a fixed exchange rate system of 1:.

From now on, the three major note-issuing banks will have to pay a US dollar security deposit for every 7.8 Hong Kong dollars issued.

This system is equivalent to turning Hong Kong dollars into checks or exchange orders. How much Hong Kong dollars you have can be converted into US dollars at any time.

Apart from anything else, at least in terms of recognition, the whole world will recognize the Hong Kong dollar, and the Hong Kong dollar also has the conditions to circulate around the world.

Coupled with this news and the listing of Far Eastern stocks in Hong Kong, it is inevitable that foreign funds will enter Hong Kong Island in large quantities. This can be seen from the expanding foreign currency reserves of Far Eastern Bank.

The arrival of these foreign capitals will inevitably make Hong Kong's stock market and economy prosper again, but it is not ruled out that some of the funds here treat Hong Kong people like leeks and leave as soon as they are done.

However, the three companies in the Far East Group are all high-quality companies with huge development potential. It is a bit difficult to cut leeks from these three companies.

Even if the drumming and passing flowers fall into your hands, as long as you persist, it will definitely be a profitable business.

As for those who are impatient and impatient, there is nothing you can do. With such a personality, you will always be a leek.

The last big news is an entertainment event.

The Far East Group will hold its annual meeting on Christmas Eve before Christmas and will hold a grand concert at the Hung Hom Stadium.

Concerts are nothing to the Far East Group. Far East Asia Media is now the largest media group in Asia, and the Luo family's Disney NBC Group is a world-class media empire.

So for the Far East Group, what kind of superstar cannot be found? Isn’t it a trivial matter to hold a concert?
But what makes me happy is that according to the news from the Far East Group, there will not be a single star in this concert.

It cannot be said that there is no star, in fact, there are many stars.

But these celebrities are the audience, and it is the high-level bosses of the Far East Group who are really on stage.

Normally, everyone wears suits and leather shoes, looking all-powerful, but now they suddenly have to show off their singing voices and dancing skills, which is very exciting.

ATV has already made a notice and will broadcast the entire concert live, and even the program list has been finalized.

The most anticipated of all the shows is definitely Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" performed by Luo Nianzhong, Welch and various company presidents.

He was recruited by Disney's record company at a huge price, and he quickly became a world superstar with the title song of the Thriller album a few months ago.

Now this song is still selling like crazy in dozens of countries. No one expected that the concert would become another cash cow for Disney NBC Group.

At that time, the finale of the Far East Group will be Luo Nianzhong singing Billie Jean, with others dancing for him.

ATV even released a video of Luo Nianzhong rehearsing with the CEOs of major companies. Needless to say, Luo Nianzhong is handsome and charming and has the airs of a star.

But those CEOs with varying heights and figures and no dancing skills looked very funny.

As soon as the video came out, all Hong Kong people's attention and expectations for this concert were immediately heightened, and they couldn't wait to hold it tomorrow.

Not to mention Hong Kong citizens, even the Far East Headquarters has made a lot of jokes and brought a lot of joy because of this incident in the past few days.

Someone was caught practicing singing in the office and forgetting to close the door. A R&D employee who lived in the same community came home late at night and found the vice president of a certain company practicing dancing in the garage. A senior executive of a group sang in the garden late at night and asked passing citizens to call the police. The presence of wolves makes the news.

It can be said that a series of ridiculous things quickly spread throughout the Far East Group, and even Luo Nianzhong couldn't stop laughing after learning about it.

In a practice room of Brilliant Records, watching Luo Nianzhong practicing dance under the guidance of a professional dance teacher, Guan Jiahui on the side was full of affection and her fondness was beyond words.

When Luo Nianzhong stopped, he quickly ran up with a towel, just like a star-struck girl.

"Brother Zhong, I didn't expect that you have a talent for dancing. I feel that dancing is very powerful. If you become a star, you will be able to charm thousands of girls."

"Ha, don't you know if I have strength?" After saying that, Luo Nianzhong hugged her into his arms.

Fortunately, the dance teacher knew what was going on and left the practice room, otherwise Luo Nianzhong wouldn't have spoken so ambiguously.

As a big boss, you still need to pay attention to his image.

As for Guan Jiahui's suggestion of becoming a star, Luo Nianzhong scoffed. Being a star is not as fun as playing a star.

Now he fully realized this happiness.

Hung Hom Stadium, what is the first impression that comes to mind when the name is mentioned? concert.

People who have never been to Hung Hom Stadium think it is very big, but in fact its initial design was not like this and can only accommodate 10500 people.

Why is the Hung Hom Stadium, which looks like an inverted pyramid, called Hung Hom? There is another interesting thing here.

In the 19s, when the Hong Kong government was reclaiming land from the sea, Hung Hom was not yet called Hung Hom.

Until the beginning of the 20th century, some workers dug a well here for drinking water on the construction site. Unexpectedly, the water that came out of the well was vermilion, which shocked everyone.

The contractor who believed in Feng Shui quickly invited a Feng Shui master to take a look. After investigation and diagnosis, the Feng Shui master said that this was the route of the dragon veins of Hong Kong Island. The vermilion well water was attributed to the dragon veins of Hong Kong Island, and all the water flowing out was dragons. Blood.

It shocked Hong Kong Island for a while, and even the foreign devils at the time believed it to be true.

However, as technology developed later, the well water in Hung Hom was tested and it was found that the reason why the water turned red was that the well water contained a large amount of iron sulfide and mercury compounds.

But whatever the reason, the place was renamed Hung Hom because of these vermilion well water.

Even now, many superstitious businessmen or Hong Kong residents still believe that there are dragon veins under Hung Hom, so houses in Hung Hom sell very quickly.

Now, the entire Hung Hom and East Kowloon have undergone earth-shaking changes because of the Far East Group, and the Hung Hom Stadium, the symbol of Hung Hom, is no exception. As early as when construction started, the Hung Hom Stadium was suspended for four years due to project expenditure issues.

When construction started for the second time in 1977, construction came to a halt due to funding issues.

The estimated cost of the entire stadium is HK$1.4 million, but the Urban Council, which is in charge of the construction, can only come up with HK$2350 million, and many of the other costs are raised through alms.

From the moment Luo Nianzhong acquired ATV and determined to build a media empire, he included the Hung Hom Stadium in the plan. A larger stadium would be more in line with the definition of revitalizing Hong Kong through culture.

Fifty million Hong Kong dollars, the sponsorship of Far East Group has allowed the Hung Hom Stadium to be expanded again. The current standard seats of the Hung Hom Stadium are 19800, which can be increased to a maximum of 22000 if necessary.

For an indoor stadium, this capacity is not small. It can be said to be one of the largest indoor sports tubes in the world.

Far East Group's sponsorship is not in vain. In return, Far East Group has the priority to rent and use the Hung Hom Stadium.

This condition was mainly requested by Asian media. Luo Nianzhong knew very well that the Hung Hom Stadium had arrangements almost every day throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

Not to mention singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, many singers from abroad come here every year to hold concerts.

Moreover, the concerts at Hung Hom Stadium have a special feature, that is, they are held in succession. Usually, if the ticket sales are very popular, there will be several concerts in a row.

There are so many concerts every year that the Hung Hom Stadium, which was originally built for sports competitions, has to change venues for some competitions to make way for concerts.

Because of the sponsorship from Far East Group, the construction period of Hung Hom Stadium was extended to the beginning of this year.

The official opening time was in June, and Hong Kong Governor MacLehose personally presided over the launching ceremony.

ATV not only broadcast the ceremony live, but Asian Media also sent many popular stars to sing that night.

On the personal side, Leslie Cheung, one of Asia Records' current top brothers and popular in Southeast Asia, became the first male singer to hold a concert at the Hung Hom Stadium. As for the female singer, Xu Xiaofeng signed with Asia Records last year.

When it comes to Xu Xiaofeng, many people may not have heard of it, but you must have heard of her singing style "Season" and "Love in Love".

In Southeast Asia, this is a singer as famous as Teresa Teng, an absolute top singer in Hong Kong.

Andy Lau and Chow Yun-fat even knelt down to show their respect for her. Even the Spring Festival Gala made an exception for her and came to Hong Kong Island to record a video for the Spring Festival Gala due to scheduling issues.

Asia Records' two biggest stars got off to a good start at Hung Hom Arena, but the climax was destined to become a legend.

On the 24th, many Westerners working in the Far East Group had already started their vacation. For these people, the Far East Group only informed them and did not require them to come back.

The more than 20,000 seats are severely insufficient, even if those who are on vacation do not come back.

The Oriental Grand Hyatt Hotel has been booked today, and the annual meeting will begin at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Tens of thousands of people flocked to the Grand Hyatt Hotel to eat and drink. If it hadn't been divided into two waves, the hotel's chef would probably be too busy.

All the dishes were prepared a week ago, and tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars were spent on the ingredients.

The first wave of people who opened the table at four o'clock in the afternoon were those who were going to attend tonight's concert, while the second wave of people who were not so lucky could enjoy the live broadcast of ATV on TV while eating.

The concert started on time at eight o'clock, but as soon as seven o'clock passed, rows of buses began to drive near the Hung Hom Stadium, carrying busloads of Far East employees to pick up and drop off the concert.

In order to maintain order, the police traffic police in East Kowloon can be said to be in full force tonight.

At eight o'clock, accompanied by fireworks and jets, the concert officially began. Naturally, the first person to take the stage was Luo Nianzhong, and he sang "Season of the Wind" by Xu Xiaofeng.

Not to mention his professional singing skills, he was passable, mainly because of his coquettish steps and mambo dance that aroused bursts of cheers from the audience, which was a good start.

After the song was sung, Sister Fei, as the host, took the stage.

She was still serious at first, but suddenly her eyes lit up and she ran to the audience, and sitting where she went was the original singer Xu Xiaofeng.

"Sister Xiaofeng, would you like to comment on the big boss's wind season?"

Xu Xiaofeng took over the topic with a smile and waved her hands, "I won't talk about the songs, but I will definitely be inferior in the dance part."

"Oh, I understand. What Sister Xiaofeng means is that the dancing is very coquettish and I feel ashamed, but the singing is really not that good, right?"

The fat sister's bodyguard and Xu Xiaofeng, who was deliberately interpreting her anger, were about to beat her. Unfortunately, despite her fatness, her figure was still very flexible, so she just turned around and ran away.

The following shows were quite exciting one after another. What Luo Nianzhong didn't expect was that Li Xiang actually brought the senior management of Watsons to show off, and all the members dressed up in women's clothing to make them look as eye-catching as possible.

I don’t know what others were thinking, but Welch almost vomited backstage, and even Luo Nianzhong felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

However, the employees in the audience really bought it, cheering and screaming, and even called for an encore, which was the first climax of the night.

The climax of the second wave is the big draw, with one first prize, which is a check for HKD 100 million without any nonsense.

There are two second prizes, two 1,000-square-foot mansions.

Five third prize winners will each receive a Nissan car.

As for the consolation prize, it is a thousand-yuan supermarket shopping card, ensuring that everyone can get a prize.

Luo Nianzhong did not favor one or the other, whether he was on site, in the hotel, or returning home for vacation, he treated everyone equally.

There are eight boxes in front of you, each with a ball. The eight-digit serial number drawn out corresponds to their work number and you are the winner.

There are more than 20,000 employees on site. In fact, the total number of employees is not very high, but two second prizes and two third prizes were awarded.

It is said that the first-prize employee was having a meal in the hotel. This was really a pie-in-the-sky situation.

The other third prize was a Californian who probably didn't know where he was on vacation with his family at this time, and he didn't know what it would be like to find out that he got a car for free when he came back.

The presence of someone winning and accepting a prize can further boost the atmosphere at the venue, especially when Welch's eldest son Rick Welch won the third prize, which pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

Otherwise, it is said that a tiger father has no dog son. Rick Welch did not disappoint his father and completed the four-year course in only one and a half years.

When Luo Nianzhong knew that he wanted to find an internship job while working and studying, he personally handled the onboarding process for him.

However, Luo Nianzhong didn't take care of him. After knowing that he was studying market research and forecasting and international marketing, he was thrown into Pengcheng directly.

Rick didn't expect that he actually won the prize. When he walked onto the stage under the guidance of Fei Jie, Luo Nianzhong specifically gave up his position and gave the opportunity to award the award to Welch.

Seeing his father giving him the award, Rick showed off his humor after receiving the award, "You have such a small chance of being encountered by me. Are you sure there is no behind-the-scenes operation?"

"Brat".

Seeing that Welch's slap was about to fall, Rick hurriedly avoided it and said, "If you have something to say, please say it. Don't always touch me. You think this is your home and you always want to teach me a lesson."

Welch was so angry that he stopped taking action and kicked him directly.

Rick didn't stay long and was forced to go down after receiving the award.

Once the grand prize is drawn, all that’s left are consolation prizes.

However, these people were not jealous, and they all congratulated the winners with warm applause.

As for those who are envious, they are probably the Hong Kong residents sitting in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast on ATV.

The finale was naturally Luo Nianzhong, nicknamed the Far East Heavenly Group, and the presidents of various companies.

The whole performance was nothing short of spectacular, with the audience shouting loudly and screaming constantly.

Let's not worry about the dancing. We must give full marks to the dress and attitude.

All of them were dressed in dazzling outfits, and some even had their arms open, clearly showing off their large abdominal muscles.

Everyone wears fake hoods on their heads. People look very cool nowadays. Luo Nianzhong thought the same thing when he saw it for the first time.

"Isn't this Ni Ma a family of buried love?"
