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

Chapter 490 "489" Guan Zu shouted: Hong Kong people govern Hong Kong, Hong Kong people should have their own airline!
Other protesters also shouted,
"Pay compensation for mental damages!"

"Apologize!"

As time went by, more and more passers-by were arranged by Datou to come here.

At the same time, some citizens who had also suffered from this kind of discrimination also joined in.

The team continued to grow and its momentum became more and more powerful.

It has even affected the customer flow of Taikoo Shopping Center.

……

On the upper floor of Taikoo House,
Cathay Pacific Airways CEO Paul Tong was standing at his office window, looking at the boiling protesting crowd downstairs, his face livid.

"Push to the street!"

"We have already issued a statement to apologize, what else do you want!"

Suddenly, he woke up.

"Could it be that Guan Zu's doing?"

His upstairs

Peng Lizhi, a director of the Swire Group, was also in the office, his brows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, and his face was full of displeasure.

"Hasn't an apology been issued? Why are there still protests?"

If the protests continue like this, the normal operation of the square will be disrupted.

Who will bear this loss?
For Cathay Pacific, the business of Taikoo Mall is obviously more important!
Peng Lizhi called Tang Baolin and said, "I'll give you one hour to settle the matter downstairs!"

Tang Baolin hurriedly said: "Yes, I'll go down right away!"

Soon, Tang Baolin and his team hurried downstairs.

downstairs,

"Everyone, everyone!"

Tang Baolin forced a professional smile on his face and walked quickly to the front of the protesting crowd.

"Everyone, calm down. Cathay Pacific has sincerely apologized for what happened before. The company is also actively rectifying and strengthening employee training. Similar problems will definitely not occur again in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man stood out from the crowd.

"Apologize? If apologies were useful, what would we need the police for? Last time I was on a plane, a stewardess rolled her eyes at me because I made a mistake in speaking English. She looked disgusted, as if I were a bumpkin from Lantau Island."

(Lantau Island citizens: ??? If we are not friends, why are you dragging me into this?)

"You must compensate me for my mental damages!"

The people around echoed:
"Yes! Compensation! You must compensate!"

"I was also discriminated against by the flight attendant, and I want compensation too!"

"Me too!"

"Compensation! Compensation!"

Tang Baolin almost vomited blood.

Damn, this group of people are definitely not just random people, they must be an organization that is here to cause trouble.

Tang Baolin said quickly: "Everyone, I understand how you feel, but compensation is not something that can be given out as you wish. It requires evidence, a basis, and then company procedures. We are already working hard to improve our service attitude, so please give us a little more time and trust us again."

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Time? It's been more than ten years? You still have this attitude, how can I trust you? You must pay compensation today, or we won't leave!"

Supported by everyone.

"Yes! More than ten years! You haven't changed in more than ten years, who would believe you?"

“Compensation must be paid!”

Tang Baolin was sweating profusely.

In the past, the employees turned Hong Kong people into second-class people and they didn’t think it was a big deal. But now that the incident has been provoked by Guan Zu, they feel that it is all a big trap!
When the two sides were at a stalemate,
At this time, TVB and ATV's interview vehicles arrived one after another at lightning speed.

The reporter held the microphone and the cameraman carried the camera.

"Dear citizens, I am now at the Taikoo House in Taikoo Plaza, Admiralty..."

“There’s a protest going on here.”

The camera is focused on the protesting crowd.

Finally it was given to Tang Baolin.

Later, ATV reporters also arrived.

Not long after, reporters from various media arrived.

Kakaka~~~
Clap, clap, clap~~~
It’s even more lively!

"Hello, may I ask why you came to participate in this protest?"

The reporter first interviewed the citizens one by one
"I was discriminated against by Cathay Pacific before and I kept complaining, but they ignored me. This time, I want to complain with everyone!"

"Let Cathay Pacific give us, the bullied passengers, an explanation!"

"Compensate us for our mental damages!"

"compensation!"

Then the reporters turned to Tang Baolin.

Facing the camera, Tang Baolin pretended to be calm, but beads of sweat still appeared on his forehead.

The reporters' questions came one after another, sharp and direct:
“Will Cathay Pacific compensate the humiliated passengers for their claims, or will it ignore them?”

"If we ignore it, then wouldn't the previous apology be just an apology without admitting fault?"

Tang Baolin: “…………”

You must be sweating, brother!

He could only keep repeating the clichés like the company has taken it seriously and is working hard on it.

However, this aroused the anger of all citizens.

……

As time went on, more and more citizens came to protest.

They are all real victims.

And more and more citizens came to watch the fun.

Moreover, this is the Golden Bell Awards, and Guan Zu’s approval rating is very high, so many citizens have joined in to show their support for the victims.

More and more people are coming, which has seriously affected the business of Taikoo Shopping Center.

Cathay Pacific Group and Swire Group held an emergency meeting upstairs.

"Bang~~ It must be that Guan Zu! He must have done it."

"So what if it's him? We can't do anything to him!"

"How can we not do anything about him? Just put the top executives of the Five Star Group on the blacklist and prevent them from getting on the plane!"

"it is good!"

"Just do it. Anyway, the most you can get is an administrative penalty, which is not a lot of money."

"We must get rid of this anger!"

quickly,

Many senior executives agreed to teach Guan Zu and the Five Star Group a lesson.

The main reason is that these foreigners and banana people are used to being high and mighty, and they consider themselves to be people of the great British Empire. They look down on Hong Kong people. Now they are being oppressed by Hong Kong people like Guan Zu, so naturally they are very unhappy.

Moreover, this blacklist is not illegal, at most it will only result in administrative penalties.

"Okay, now we have to think about how to deal with the citizens who want compensation."

“Do you really want compensation?”

"If everyone says they want to come and compensate us, won't we be at a huge loss?"

"Absolutely no compensation..."

……

……

Evening, 19:00,

TVB and ATV began reporting the news that happened today.

"At noon today, the Governor of Hong Kong and Mr. Guan Zu appeared at the Peninsula Hotel together..."

"According to the interview, Mr. Kwan and the Governor of Hong Kong were discussing the issue of Cathay Pacific discriminating against Hong Kong Islanders..."

“(Switch to Fei Peng’s screen) Fei Peng: I really hate this kind of discrimination…”

"Guan Zu: The Governor of Hong Kong is an upright person who cares about the people. Today he talked to me about Cathay Pacific's monopoly and felt that a monopoly is unacceptable..."

Tang Baolin, who had just finished a meeting, returned home.

Get ready to drink a cup of coffee to refresh yourself
I saw this news report.

"Puff~~~~" a mouthful of coffee sprayed out.

He realized that something was wrong, Guan Zu was actually with the Governor!
"Governor, you are on our side!"

You betrayed Dae Young!

Next news,

Wen Huixin: "This afternoon, thousands of citizens gathered in front of the Taikoo House to protest against Cathay Pacific's discrimination against Hong Kong people as 'second-class people' and demand compensation..."

Tang Baolin was angry again.

There were only a few hundred people protesting, and the rest were just there to watch!
This ATV is so disgusting!
At this moment, he felt for the first time the importance of controlling public opinion.

Wen Huixin: "Faced with the public's protests, CEO Tong Po-lin personally came out to try to calm the anger, but he only apologized and ignored any offer of compensation... It is obvious that President Tong only apologized and did not recognize Cathay Pacific's mistakes. This is also Cathay Pacific's old tradition. For 10 or 20 years, they have had a bad attitude, apologized countless times, and never corrected their mistakes..."

Tang Baolin's anger +1+1+1+1...

Too sharp!

It hits a sore spot!
Next, the third piece of news:

Wen Huixin: "This afternoon, we at ATV interviewed Mr. Guan Zuguan. Please listen to his views..."

"(News camera shows Guan Zu) Guan Zu: I think the passengers have suffered mental damage, and it is very reasonable for them to file a claim against Cathay Pacific... Cathay Pacific, as a monopoly airline in Hong Kong, cannot disregard the rights of Hong Kong Island residents just because it is a monopoly... It cannot treat Hong Kong people as second-class people just because it is British-owned... This kind of behavior is simply doing whatever it wants and is lawless! It has no respect for us Hong Kong people at all!"

"At the same time, I am pushing for the independence of Dragonair..."

"As the saying goes, Hong Kong people govern Hong Kong. This is the concept in the north, and it is also the spirit of our Hong Kong Island."

“Therefore, we Hong Kong people must have our own airline!”

Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong?

Hong Kong people’s own airline?
Tang Baolin watched Guan Zu's conversation on TV and couldn't help but sneer.

Do you think that by becoming the largest shareholder of Dragonair you can get all the shares?

Innocent!

Our country Tai has 30% of the shares, and Swire has 5% of the shares!
It accounts for more than one third!

As long as we don’t sell it!

What kind of airline is this that Hong Kong people have?

……

……

20: 00,

Governor's House,
The beautiful secretary of Merlin Swire, the boss of Swire Group, paid a personal visit to Fat Peng.

Merlin Swire is a family member of the Swire Group and took over as chairman of the group in 1987 until he stepped down in 1997.

Of course, this time Merlin Swire was attending a meeting in Southeast Asia, so he was in Hong Kong Island during this period, so he sent his secretary over this time.

In the study,
The coffee is steaming.

"Mr. Governor, Mr. Merlin asked me to send you his regards."

"Haha~~ I've heard a lot about Mr. Merlin. I hope we can have a meal together when he comes back."

"sure."

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a few minutes.

Fei Peng is a little impatient. I still need to sleep!

Next, the beautiful secretary humbly expressed the purpose of her visit, hoping that the Governor of Hong Kong would not stand with Guan Zu.

After hearing this, Fei Peng felt very disgusted.

Damn, you’re an adult, why are you still so ignorant?

I stand with Guan Zu, what does it have to do with you?

Do you want to reflect on whether you have shown your sincerity and done a good job of currying favor?
I have been in Hong Kong Island for four or five months. Has your Swire Group come to my house to pay the money?

Now that something's happened, you come and ask me to stand with you?
Who are you?
Such a big face!

Just as Fei Peng was thinking this, the female secretary took out a check and put it in Fei Peng's hand.

Fei Peng nodded slightly in his heart.

Look at the denomination of the check.

1000 million Hong Kong dollars!
Fat Peng: “…………”

In your eyes, I am only worth 1000 million Hong Kong dollars?
I felt a little unhappy inside, because the person who respected me the most was my opponent Guan Zu!
In fact, Fat Peng has wronged the Swire Group a bit. The Swire Group belongs to several families, so they will be more cautious about such extra expenditures. If they give too much, what will other shareholders think?
1000 million Hong Kong dollars is already a lot, equivalent to 130 million US dollars, which has great purchasing power internationally.

So the female secretary also felt that the money was full of sincerity.

But compared to Guan Zu’s sincerity...you also call this sincerity?
Fat Peng smiled and pushed the check back.

"Feel sorry!"

"Although I want to help you, Cathay Pacific discriminates against Hong Kong people, and now the whole of Hong Kong is scolding you. If I help you, how can I complete the mission entrusted to me by the Prime Minister?"

"Kane, show him out!"

Waved.

Kane walked into the study and asked the Taikoo boss's female secretary, who had a (???) look on her face, to leave.

……

a new day,
Newspapers across Hong Kong reported Guan Zu’s speech last night.

"Hong Kong people govern Hong Kong, Mr. Kwan said he does not want Hong Kong people to become second-class people"

"Hong Kong people should have their own airline!"

The Dignity of Hong Kong People...

Sublimated!
After reading this newspaper, all Hong Kong citizens felt the same way and were moved.

That's right!

We Hong Kong people want dignity!
Don't be a second-class person!

Have your own airline!
Then there was other news.

"Thousands of citizens protested and demanded compensation at the entrance of Cathay Pacific!"

"Cathay Pacific's arrogance has made it ignore the claims of second-class people"

"..."

There is so much hatred.

Originally, there were many well-educated and wealthy citizens who were not supporters of Guan Zu, but now after seeing this news, they are a little discouraged.

Are you a second-class person?
I am an elite!

As for Cathay Pacific, their faces turned green after seeing today's newspaper.

Also anxious!

Yes, we do have this problem, but aren't you taking it too far?
Tang Baolin was in his office, yelling at his secretary:

"It's been so long, and you still haven't dealt with the media yet?"

"You loser!"

The secretary's face was covered in saliva.

Of course, among the many newspapers, there was always the headline about Fat Pang, the Governor of Hong Kong.
"The Governor of Hong Kong is very indignant about Cathay Pacific's behavior!"

"The Governor of Hong Kong is concerned about people's livelihood..."

Many citizens saw this news and praised the Governor of Hong Kong, Fat Pang.

People's hearts are rising!

……

Governor's House,
Fei Peng felt relieved after reading today's newspaper.

I made the headlines!

Now, the reputation of the citizens should be improved.

Noon,
Merlin Swire, the Taikoo chef, returned from a flight from Southeast Asia and came to the Governor's House to visit Fat Peng and exchange views.

He also apologized for the previous $100 million and was willing to raise the amount to $200 million.

Fat Peng took his newspaper headline and handed it to Merlin Swire.

I'm already on the headlines, and you're just here.

How do you want me to explain this to the citizens?
$200 million?
Not as generous as Guan Zu!

Is this the extent of your sincerity?
Merlin Swire looked at the headline and knew that he was too late and had made a big mistake - underestimating the enemy!
"This Guan Zu seems to be a little more difficult to deal with than I thought."

but,

Merlin is not that afraid. As long as Swire and Cathay Pacific do not sell Dragonair shares, it will be useless no matter how happy Guan Zu dances!
