Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!
Chapter 458: Dedicating Love to Charity!
Saturday evening, July 27, 1991!
Happy Valley Racecourse, Hong Kong!
RTHK, together with mainstream media such as RTHK East TV and ATV, organized the first large-scale joint charity performance by the Hong Kong entertainment industry to raise funds for disaster relief.
The purpose was to raise funds for disaster relief in response to the 1991 East China floods!
Unprecedented scale! It brought together almost all of Hong Kong's top artists at the time, including:
Stars include Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Jacky Cheung, Leon Lai, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, George Lam, Sally Yeh, Sandy Lam, Beyond, and Tat Ming Pair.
Twenty minutes before the performance, four brand-new Heilong 7 cars were parked at the entrance of the racecourse.
Eleven people got off the four cars one after another: He Yuzhu and his wife, He Yushui and her family of four, and He Yuzhu's two children, He Mingli and He Mingyue.
They were all dressed in ordinary casual clothes. There was no chairman of Dongda Group or his family here, only twelve ordinary people.
He entered the Happy Valley Racecourse without any bodyguards, just like any other ordinary people who came to see the benefit performance.
"This is your first time visiting the racecourse in thirty-three years since you became a director in 58, isn't it?" Zhou Songyu and Qin Huairu stood on He Yuzhu's side.
"That's because I didn't want to come. Ten years from now, this place won't be worthy of me. The board members are too low-class. I'm here today for charity and disaster relief, not for networking."
"We donated 50 billion yuan in cash and 18 billion yuan worth of supplies back in our hometown. How much are we planning to donate today?"
"You represent the Southeast University's charity department; you may donate as you see fit. I will donate HK$5 billion."
"Your profits were higher last year and at the beginning of this year, otherwise you wouldn't have donated so much. The currency back home is depreciating quickly, while the Hong Kong dollar has a fixed exchange rate!"
"Same here. Your donation of 10 billion is only 1.34 billion US dollars, which is a small amount for Dongda Group. We just want to spend those US dollars right now."
"Brother, include all of mine. We'll donate, and you can contribute. You have more money than you can spend anyway." He Yushui was shrewd.
"A quota of 300 million per person."
"This young master donated 300 million. I've heard there are a lot of female celebrities here today, hehehe."
"He Mingli, you better behave, or I'll slap you." Qin Huairu didn't want to hear the word "female celebrity."
When He Yuzhu arrived, a large number of prominent celebrities rushed out to greet him, as the arrival of the "King" was a good thing for them to donate money.
The higher the amount of donations, the greater the benefits for them. While giving back to charity, their reputation will also be greatly enhanced. Moreover, with Sir Ho's arrival, other wealthy individuals will also be present.
"Thank you for welcoming us and for your love and care for the disaster area. Please continue your rehearsals. We wish you a successful performance and hope you raise even more funds."
Perform well. As long as you don't just do a perfunctory job, I will donate five billion, in the name of your charity performance.
"Thank you, Sir Ho!"
With the arrival of He Yuzhu's family, a large number of wealthy people soon followed. The reason is self-evident.
He Yuzhu and his family politely greeted the wealthy guests as they watched the charity performance, attracting a large number of them and resulting in a surge in donations.
The other eleven members of the Ho family donated 300 million each, bringing the total amount to over 33 billion.
He Yuzhu noticed the hosts looking at him and smiled, "Please continue. My donation of 5 billion yuan remains unchanged. Everyone here is here to contribute to charity!"
After the charity performance, the total amount donated was HK$45.7 billion.
"You've raised quite a bit of money. I'll have someone transfer it to your account tomorrow. It's very good that it's used for its intended purpose. Goodbye!"
He Yuzhu's statement that the funds were earmarked for specific purposes extinguished the ulterior motives of many people, who dared not risk the extermination of their entire clan.
On the third day, 95.7 billion yuan in charitable donations were transferred from the port city Red Cross Society to the hometown Red Cross Society's account.
"The charity performance in Hong Kong raised 95.7 billion yuan. Are they that rich?" Many staff members didn't believe it.
"The Ho family of Dongda Group donated 33 billion, and others donated more than 12 billion. In the end, Sir Ho alone donated 50 billion, bringing the total donation to 95.7 billion."
"If that's the case, then everything is fine. Comrade He Yuzhu has already donated 500 billion yuan and 180 billion yuan worth of supplies."
This family has donated HK$83 billion again. We should have more people like them; they are all worthy of our emulation.
Unexpectedly, our "Third Young Master" He Mingli became an internet sensation. This extravagant young master is actually the young master of the Dongda Group.
This is a true young master, the current number one young master of a wealthy family, a super unmarried diamond bachelor, and he is extremely popular in Hong Kong.
Especially for some female celebrities, they appear unintentionally on certain "sites" even more often, so what's the point?
Everything was under He Yuzhu's surveillance. Anyone who had talked to him about ideals and drunk with him wanted to become his daughter-in-law—that was impossible. Now there was only one 'ultimate mistress'.
Moreover, they all underestimated this "Third Young Master." He had long been interested in these women purely for physical pleasure, not emotionally. So what if he was the "most powerful mistress"?
Being beautiful can put food on the table, but he has too much money. He doesn't need anyone else to buy him food, nor does he need to borrow anyone's reputation. His reputation is of little use to him.
The key point is that he has a girlfriend, who is a female teacher at his university. He won her over right after she graduated. He really likes this teacher named Gu Qingqing, who is a homebody and doesn't compete for anything.
We'll get married around October, so my mom won't bombard me with nagging about how "men should marry when they're of age, and women should marry when they're of age."
He Yuzhu didn't pay much attention when he saw his son and the female teacher; his son changed clothes faster than he could.
Later, they realized something was wrong. Although their son was playing and making a fuss, he spent two days a week with this female teacher.
He Yuzhu was very satisfied when he casually asked Kuang Biao to check on the female teacher. She didn't fight, didn't cause trouble, and what did it matter if she stayed at home?
Her family is a scholarly family; starting with her great-grandfather, 90% of her family members are middle school or university teachers, and none of them are "bananas" (meaning they are culturally Westernized).
It's a pity that He Mingli has already graduated with a master's degree; he'd like to have such a female teacher as his daughter-in-law. He Yuzhu has no objection; he'll wait for them to bring it up themselves.
In mid-September, the local TV station host and a high-ranking official specifically thanked the individuals and organizations that donated to the flood relief efforts.
Finally, I would like to express my special thanks to Dongda Group for donating 50 billion yuan in cash domestically and for donating 18 billion yuan worth of urgently needed supplies in three separate donations in mid-June when relief supplies were most needed.
During a charity performance in Hong Kong, the whole family donated HK$8.3 billion again, setting an example for all of us to learn from.
This is the true meaning of "becoming wealthy so that one can help others"!
Dongda Group's reputation rose again in its hometown, He Yuzhu flew to Malaysia, and his eldest son He Mingzhong got married a week later.
The woman's surname is Hou and her given name is Hou Mingqiu. She comes from one of the nine richest families in Malaysia and holds a master's degree from Oxford University.
Born a pure Chinese, his family had been contributing to the country for fifty years and had organized overseas Chinese groups to help their hometown, as had his father.
Standing at 170cm tall, with excellent looks and personality, He Guang and his two companions were selected from over thirty qualified candidates over nearly three years.
They wouldn't misjudge someone!
Hou Mingqiu was very satisfied with He Mingzhong's speech and had seen the high-ranking He Mingzhong on television before, so he had no objections.
Her parents were more satisfied. They met with He Mingzhong quite a few times in private. He was handsome, had an extraordinary way of speaking, and wielded great power, although they did not yet know the specifics of He Mingzhong's future.
However, they were well aware that He Mingzhong came from the He family of Dongda Group and was the eldest son of the legitimate wife.
What is the eldest son? These powerful families are very clear that unless He Mingzhong causes a major incident, he can only inherit the Dongda Group. Even if he lacks business acumen, he will still hold the most shares.
This is completely different from ordinary families; aristocratic families generally place great importance on the eldest son.
It's okay for Ho Ming Chung to be in politics; Malaysia has never opposed businessmen entering politics!
