Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 301 "301" shock! Total fundraising of 3.23 million, 81 members!
Night, 22:30...

Wan Chai, the location of the Five Star Group’s branch office and a donation point.

A Rolls-Royce passed by the intersection, and Li Er looked through the lowered glass window and looked towards the donation point.

"Lose that star...what's going on?"

Li Er was dumbfounded.

How many people come to donate?

There were hundreds or even thousands of citizens, and an entire section of the street was blocked, allowing only parking but no traffic.

“Outrageous!!”

Think about myself in North Point. I did good things and distributed flyers, but in the end not many people came to donate.

As for Guan Zu, as soon as the flyers were distributed, people donated money and blocked the road.

The gap is too obvious.

"Let's go back……"

"Okay, Second Master."

Li Er sat dejectedly in the back seat. He was not giving up this time, so he came here specially to take a look.

one look,
I've really given up!

The gap between me and Guan Zu is really huge!

"For a man like this to have so many citizens supporting him, isn't he already invincible?"

Li Er suddenly thought of this.

The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.

At the same time, it also made him realize that there is a lot to be done in charity!
……

……

a new day,
early in the morning...

As the morning light breaks, the city of Hong Kong gradually wakes up in the morning light.

Outside the streets and alleys, there is already a bustling scene.

In the morning light, office workers are either walking or rushing to the bus stops; in the breakfast shops, there are steaming buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and tempting Hong Kong-style snacks; on the road, the traffic is gradually increasing.

In front of the newsstands on the street, the shouts of newspaper vendors could be heard one after another.

All major newsstands and newspapers reported this event with eye-catching headlines.

《The Light of Five Stars...》

"All people respond..."

Many citizens stopped and bought a newspaper to read while walking.

At this time,
The morning news of Asia Television and TVB almost simultaneously reported on the various donation points under the Five Star Group starting yesterday afternoon.

"Last night, a charity fundraising event initiated by the Five Star Group triggered a warm response from citizens across Hong Kong. From Wan Chai to Wong Tai Sin, from Kowloon City to Yau Tsim Mong, every corner witnessed the transmission of this warmth."

"It was as lively as the last fundraising event for Mingxin Hospital."

Then, one picture after another was played, showing the grand scene of last night, under the cover of night and under the lights, with long queues, congested roads and crowds of people in front of the donation point.

"Although the Five Star Charity Foundation repeatedly stressed that even a few dozen dollars is a token of appreciation and that donations should be made within one's means, some wealthy people still donated between 1 and 4 Hong Kong dollars..."

The camera is focused on the family of three: A Lang, Bo Bo, and Bo Zai. (From "A Lang's Story")
"Mr. Guan has always been a person I admire, and he has done a lot of charity. This time, I donated 4 Hong Kong dollars..."

"Of course, my family is relatively wealthy. I come from a wealthy family, and my monthly salary from work is around 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, so it's okay for me to donate this money, right?"

"It's impossible that Mr. Guan can donate tens of millions, but I can't even donate 4?"

In front of the camera, Bobo said with a big smile.

There is another lens,
The target is the sisters Ling Zuer and Ling Shanshan:

"It was my brother Zu who saved me last time... There are only me and my sister Shanshan in my family, so we don't have much use for money..."

"I earn tens of thousands a month, so donating 2 is not too much, right..."

"Haha~~~ I am very happy to respond to Brother Zu's call and donate money to my compatriots. Although the staff told me many times that I don't need to donate so much, I still donated... Brother Zu donated all his wealth, there is no reason why I can't..."

Ling Zuer said in front of the camera with a bright smile.

Another shot was given to a wealthy couple in their 60s, Jojo's parents.

Facing the camera, JoJo's father smiled and said: "My son-in-law works at Five Star Property and does a good job. Five Star Group is a good company and Mr. Guan is a very good person, so I donated 50 to support this fundraising."

The camera turns to a certain old lady: "Grandpa said he wanted to donate money, so I must support it. I originally wanted to donate 1000, but they said I was an old lady and could only donate 300..."

An old man: "I didn't donate to other charities, I reserved this specifically for Grandpa... Come on, fellow countrymen who were affected by the disaster in the mainland~~~"

An office worker: "Come on, fellow mainlanders~~"

One shot at a time...

The news TV camera switched to the bustling crowd of donors.

"According to the feedback from the Five Star Group, the number of people who raised funds from all over the country exceeded 19 in the first half of yesterday, and the total amount raised exceeded 7400 million Hong Kong dollars."

"In many interviews, neighbors mentioned Mr. Guan Zu's good deeds. As the leader of the Five Star Group, his personal charm and leadership have a huge influence on charity. He not only practices what he preaches, but also personally participates in various public welfare activities, making charity a trend and inspiring the kindness and unity in the hearts of citizens..."

……

In a breakfast shop in the New Territories, diners are eating breakfast while watching TV.

Everyone exclaimed.

"Wow……"

"Is Guan Zu so closed-minded?"

"7400 million was raised in just one day yesterday?"

“Is this the total amount donated even though the donation amount is limited?”

"I heard that this five-star charity foundation actually uses every penny for charity, which is much better than other foundations. So it is more trustworthy when it comes to fundraising."

"There's no collection point in the New Territories... I'll just go to Yau Tsim Mong."

"I'll go too. Donating 50 Hong Kong dollars is also a token of my appreciation."

"go together……"

This piece of news produced another unexpected effect: many people who had not originally planned to donate began to consider donating... and those who had originally donated to other charities changed their minds and prepared to donate to the Five Star Charity Foundation.

It is foreseeable that other charities will have a harder time in the coming period, with fewer people donating.

……

A charity,

The president, dressed in a suit and driving a Mercedes-Benz, watched TV with a grim face.

Guan Zu actually raised 7500 million in just one day!
And what about this charity?

It has been 7 days now, and less than 60 has been raised!
hateful! !
……

At another charity, the president of a certain organization smashed a cup...

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents!
This Guan Zu is really hateful!!

……

……

But soon,

One person's donation once again caused a sensation in Hong Kong!

Mr. Ho, the Tobacco King of Hong Kong Island,

Donated 1 million Hong Kong dollars!
Boss Li only donated 8000 million, but Mr. He directly donated 1 million Hong Kong dollars!
When the news came out, the whole of Hong Kong went wild! Soon,

Boss Ho was featured on ATV and TVB’s main news and on the headlines of newspapers across Hong Kong.

What does 1 million yuan mean? At that time, the Liu Yonghao brothers were ranked as the richest people in mainland China with a net worth of several hundred million yuan.

When the Sichuan earthquake occurred in 2008, super-rich people such as Boss Li and Boss Wang donated only 1 million yuan, which was already the largest donation by an individual at that time.

And it's only 1991.

Who is this Boss He?
He is the boss of Hong Kong Tobacco Company, the largest private tobacco company in Hong Kong Island, representing many well-known brands, including the famous Marlboro cigarettes. Boss Ho almost monopolized the entire Hong Kong Island tobacco market through agency and self-production of cigarettes, so he is known as the "Tobacco King". (It has nothing to do with domestic tobacco)
There is another reason. Mr. He’s ancestral home is in Ontario, the province that suffered the most from the flood.

……

……

However, Boss He's limelight was overshadowed by the Five Star Group the next day.

at this time,

"Fight Back to School" swept the film market with an almost invincible attitude.

电影质量高、新颖+票房全部捐出的承诺，二合一，达成的效果不是1+1=2，而是2*2=4！

The box office has continued to soar at a terrifying rate. Ten days have passed since the film was released, and the total box office has reached 10 million.

The continuous roadshows by Stephen Chow, Cao Dahua and Ah Zhen also greatly stimulated movie fans to watch movies. Many citizens who had never been to a cinema went to the cinema for the first time because of this movie.

In one sense, "Fight Back to School" has undoubtedly broadened the market for movie fans in Hong Kong Island.

Another thing worth noting is that Zhou Xingxing likes to show off!
Every time reporters would be curious about whether he was the number one killer of the Flying Tigers.

Then he would perform a martial arts scene.

Then he invited a lot of people to perform on stage. He took on many people at once and really knocked them all out.

Therefore, he was given the title of "King of Kung Fu".

This made another Kung Fu star, Long Wei, very dissatisfied with him and he shouted that he wanted to teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Cao Charlie. (From "Dragon's Edge")
In addition to movies,

The most eye-catching thing in Hong Kong is the fundraising progress of the Five Star Charity Foundation.

7500 million on the first day, with 19 people donating.

7800 million on the second day, and the number of donors reached 20.

On the third day, there were still 5300 million people, with a total of 15 people.

On the fourth day, it gradually decreased to 3800 million, with a total of 12 people.

At this time, the total amount of donations has reached 2.44 million, and the number of people has reached 66.

It's simply jaw-dropping.

Many charities have gnashed their teeth into this, it's just too hateful.

“This should have been our money!”

"Guan Zu is stealing the money that originally belonged to us!"

……

……

On the fifth day, at noon, a group of gloomy-looking charity leaders gathered in a secretive and luxurious private club.

The club is located on top of a high-rise building in Central. Its decoration is elegant and exquisite. The huge crystal chandelier emits a soft light, which is reflected on the smooth marble floor, making it sparkle.

Beneath this glamorous appearance, a party is taking place.

These leaders were either sitting or standing. Some of them were wearing neat suits and exquisite ties, while others were wearing gorgeous dresses and expensive jewelry.

The group of people sat around a huge round dining table, which was filled with exquisite tableware and a variety of delicious food, but no one had the heart to taste them.

"Why does Guan Zu steal our limelight?" An institution head slammed the table in anger.

"That's right, this money should belong to us!" another person echoed angrily.

Generally speaking, these philanthropists and successful people are calm and composed, just like a spring breeze.

But now, they are anxious.

Because their money was robbed!
Can you not be in a hurry?

"We can't just sit there and wait for death!" an older person in charge said solemnly, "We must find a way to deal with him."

"Yes, we have to teach him a lesson!" someone said viciously.

"How about throwing dirty water on him? Let him be ruined!"

"Good idea!" Everyone nodded in agreement, "We should make everyone think he is a bad guy!"

"That's settled!" The older person in charge made the final decision, "We will split up and make Guan Zu pay the price!"

Soon, they began to discuss and plot their "revenge" plan. They had only one goal - to bring disgrace to Guan Zu and take back the charity funds that originally "belonged" to them.

However, the most important thing is to investigate Guan Zu's situation first, otherwise there is no point in throwing mud at him.

It takes a while.

……

……

Then, on the fifth day, the sixth day, the seventh day...

The fundraising for the Five Star Charity Foundation has finally ended.

The whole of Hong Kong is watching.

The final amount of donations: 3.23 million!
The final total number of donors: 81!
According to statistics on households in Hong Kong Island, there are 213 million households.

That is to say, one out of every 2.5 households donated money!

This ratio is simply terrifying!
Soon, TVB and ATV News reported the news as soon as possible.

In front of the camera, the host could not hide his excitement, and his words were full of praise and admiration for this love.

These two numbers, like a towering mountain, stood at the top of Hong Kong society, shocking and jarring everyone. This number exceeded Guan Zu's expectations and far exceeded everyone's imagination.

Countless citizens across Hong Kong Island have been deeply moved and shocked by this unprecedented wave of charity.

“This is not only a huge donation!”

“It is also a testimony to our compatriots’ solidarity and working together to overcome difficulties!”

……

Naturally, Guan Zu was invited by ATV News for an exclusive interview because of this incident.

The interview is scheduled to be broadcast in prime time at 20:00 in the evening.

As soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of countless TV viewers. That night, a huge number of viewers tuned in to this interview, and the ratings soared to over 80%, becoming the highest ratings for TV programs in recent times.

In the much-anticipated interview, Guan Zu was dressed in a neat black suit and gold-rimmed glasses, and looked calm and composed, like a gentleman.

Huang Jieyi interviewed: "Mr. Guan, regarding the total amount of donations this time exceeding 3.23 million and the number of donors exceeding 81, do you have anything to say?"

Guan Zu smiled: "First of all, I would like to sincerely thank every citizen who participated in the fundraising. It is you who trust and support me and the Five Star Group, and at the same time, you are full of love and generous donations..."

After a lot of thanks, he said solemnly:

"Regarding the donations, I can assure you that every penny will be transferred to the disaster area without any loss."

"We at Five Star Charity Foundation will never betray this trust and will never let any of this love go to waste."

At this point, Guan Zu paused for a moment and said:

"More importantly, in order to respond to the great love of the citizens, on behalf of all shareholders of Five Star Group, I solemnly declare:"

"The citizens donated 3.23 million, and our Five Star Group will also donate 3.23 million!"
