Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 361 Meeting with Shao Daheng

The ultimate method of this co-governance is to be able to safely and flawlessly launder all of this money every year.

By leveraging the connections of the Red Cross headquarters and the Co-Government Association, the money is transferred here and there, and in the end, at most only one-tenth is left that can be used.

The rest were all used for public expenses, which is absolutely outrageous.

He had strong reason to suspect that, if it weren't for the need to put on a show, these people might have swallowed up even the last bit of the whole thing.

What's most infuriating is the annual donations from these people. The disaster relief workers are volunteers, and the supplies are donated by big bosses from various places.

The biggest expense here is actually the annual advertising fees paid to the Red Cross and a few other organizations.

What's even more frightening is that the people of Hong Kong Island are unaware of the existence of this organization, the Co-Governance Association.

Through the efforts of these individuals, these charitable organizations have managed to maintain a respectable facade for the Hong Kong charity sector with minimal financial investment.

While seemingly benevolent, the entire charity sector in Hong Kong Island is rotten to the core.

It's like a large, leafy tree, full of life and lush greenery.

The roots below have long been hollowed out by insects, and there is a risk of collapse at any time.

He knows these scoundrels all too well; they don't care about anything, all they want is to make money.

Once their scheme is exposed, they can simply walk away without a care in the world.

Upon seeing this document, Li Jiayuan felt extremely uncomfortable; these people truly disgusted him.

The overall environment is already bad; if we want to change it, we have to take drastic measures.

Remove the entire hollow tree and cultivate a new sapling.

Thinking of this, Li Jiayuan, who had been sitting quietly, confidently raised his head, and a surge of passion rekindled in his heart.

If you're going to do it, go all the way and make this co-governance the best source of nourishment for him to boost his approval ratings.

But the situation is more serious than he thought.

The Red Cross, a representative of the Co-Government Committee, has now penetrated deep into the grassroots of Hong Kong Island. It is simply impossible to defeat them in one fell swoop.

He can use the system to find evidence of those people's illegal activities, but even if he catches them, the Red Cross and the Co-Government Association will still exist.

All they need to do is select a suitable person to put in a high position and then repeat the same operation.

Therefore, we cannot use ordinary methods to deal with them.

An hour after Fang Ting left, she returned with the latest news, this time with obvious hesitation and worry on her face.

“Brother Yuan, the Co-Governance Association called and asked me to help convey their message.”

The Co-Governance Association contacted the person in charge of the Home Charity, which is currently managed by Li Jiayuan, so Fang Ting reported directly to them.

Upon hearing that it was the Co-Government Association, Li Jiayuan revealed a mocking expression and couldn't help but laugh in anger.

These bastards actually dared to call. Judging from Fang Ting's expression, they must have said something.

"What did they say?"

Fang Ting didn't hesitate, but she frowned.

“They said that if Home Charity wants to do charity work on Hong Kong Island, it needs to follow their rules. If possible, they are willing to sit down and talk with us so that Home Charity can also join the Co-Governance Association.”

Upon hearing this, Li Jiayuan was both shocked and disgusted. He wanted to curse, but for some reason, he chuckled twice.

Angry.

What a set of rules they have! What a nice way of sitting down and talking!

When did it become necessary to get someone's permission to do charity or good deeds?

Does that mean he can't do charity work on Hong Kong Island without their permission?
Screw that bullshit co-governance council! Today, I'll see what you can do if I don't follow the rules.

The shamelessness of these people far exceeded Li Jiayuan's imagination. Doing charity is such a simple thing.

Now it's the other way around; it's as if doing charity without notifying them is a violation of the law!

What kind of rules are these? Not to mention he doesn't care about these ridiculous regulations at all. Even if the Governor were standing right in front of him today, he wouldn't give them any face.

“Tell them to get lost. Do they really think I’m doing this for a pittance? My company’s monthly profit is more than they could earn in ten years.”

"Tell those idiots exactly what they said."

"Brother Yuan, I think this might be a bit impulsive."

Fang Ting lowered her head and began to talk about something else she had found out.

“It seems that Shao Daheng did something similar before, but in the end, he gave up the idea of ​​establishing a charity on Hong Kong Island. I think this may be related to co-governance.”

"You mean that TVB tycoon, Shao Daheng?"

"It's him."

"."

This discovery was unexpected for Li Jiayuan.

He wasn't actually familiar with Shao Daheng, but he had had a few encounters with his wife, Aunt Fang.

And then there's Shao Daheng's foolish son, who seems to be Jiang Yun's suitor.

He actually admired this person very much. Although there were rumors that TVB treated its actors poorly, it was undeniable that Shao Daheng was a man of good character.

I vaguely remember those Shaw Buildings that were donated in my previous life; they weren't fake.

It can be seen that this person is very dedicated to charity. As the saying goes, a gentleman judges by his actions, not his intentions.

That alone is admirable.

He believed that Shao Daheng would do such a thing, but it was surprising that the Co-Government Association was able to restrain him and cause him to suffer a defeat.

At this moment, Fang Ting said again:

“Brother Yuan, I think there’s someone behind this Co-Governance Association. Why don’t we investigate it first?”

"Don't give them an answer yet. Here's what I'll do: can you arrange a meeting with Shao Daheng for me? Invite him to dinner as soon as possible, preferably today."

-

TVB Headquarters
Shao Daheng, who rarely visits TVB, came to the company to inspect the work.

The main concern was that Aunt Fang was someone I didn't trust, and I was worried that she might cause trouble at the company again.

For example, when Aunt Fang offended Li Jiayuan of the group last time, it led to Li Jiayuan now joining forces with their rival, ATV.

ATV, which was originally overshadowed by them, is now showing signs of a comeback.

They could have easily avoided this situation, at least preventing such a powerful competitor as the Jiayuan Group from siding with ATV.

This puts a lot of pressure on their company.

"Boss, Li Jiayuan from Jiayuan Group has invited you to dinner. Should you decline?"

While watching the latest TV program schedule, Shao Daheng was stunned when he heard his secretary's words, thinking he had misheard.

He nodded in puzzlement only after the secretary repeated it once.

He and Li Jiayuan should never have had any contact.

Why would Li Jiayuan suddenly invite him to dinner? That's strange.

Could it be that he wants to collaborate with TVB?

After some discussion, Shao Daheng decided to accept the agreement, since it would only take him the time of a meal anyway.

Whether we cooperate or not, we won't lose out. Jiayuan Group is currently riding high, so it's not good to offend Li Jiayuan too much. We won't cut off his face completely.

"Li Jiayuan, how about this arrangement?"
