When the argument of "self-reliance and self-reliance to save Hong Kong" came out, Xia Tian realized something was wrong. He knew that it must be the British group who was making trouble, with the purpose of fooling Hong Kong people into cannon fodder.

Celebrities use public opinion to call on the people to donate. They pretend to donate first. When the people are fooled and follow the trend to donate, they will return the money donated by the celebrities and then use the money donated by the people to fill the fire pit.

In this way, celebrities gained fame and the Hong Kong and British government gained benefits. All the money was cheated, but they could not get any benefits.

This principle is actually not difficult to understand. In "Let the Bullets Fly", the master helped Zhang Mazi get money, so he planned to use this trick.

So Xia immediately arranged his own media to refute this argument. He proposed that even if Hong Kong people were asked to donate money to save the economy, the Hong Kong and British government should take the lead.

However, despite this, he underestimated the British-style ability to deceive and overestimated the IQ of Hong Kong people.

The British system's ability to deceive is indeed very high. Not only did it create public opinion in the media, but it also sent people to act and pretend to donate, and even used the power of comprehensive education.

Hong Kong's comprehensive religion has free beliefs, among which Buddhism and Taoism believe the most, with more than one million people. There are also about 600,000 believers in the Gazpachi. In addition, there are some Hinduism, Xike, Yutai, etc.

Basically, believers account for about half of Hong Kong's total population, and the influence of comprehensive education radiates to all Hong Kong people. Therefore, when the British Department advocates people's donations through comprehensive education, many people cannot refuse.

According to the herd effect, when more and more people do one thing, others will subconsciously choose to blindly follow in order to avoid being excluded and gain everyone's recognition.

Therefore, what was originally quite unreconciliatory was actually in full swing by the British Group, and the amount of donations quickly exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

While people are enthusiastically donating, those who have not donated are named one by one by the media, and the one who has been named the most is Xiatian.

Moral kidnapping has existed since ancient times.

They criticized Xia Tian for hiding in the United States and enjoying a blessing in the time of life and death in Hong Kong, and not returning to Hong Kong to save the economy, which was really lacking in responsibility; they criticized him for having hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, but were reluctant to donate a dollar to save the economy, which was really selfish and stingy...

They also took Li Jiacheng, Jia Daoli, Guo Desheng and others as examples and asked Xiatian to pledge at least 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. They believed that Xiatian could donate billion Hong Kong dollars to the mainland, so the Hong Kong people should receive more donations after supporting him for so long.

The media's criticism has led to public opinion, and Hong Kong people have also begun to complain about Xia Tian.

Almost all Hong Kong people were in trouble during this financial crisis, but Xia Tian made a fortune. Before the sniper arrived, they completed the right to raise funds and sold all their buildings. Therefore, they were not only unscathed, but also gained a lot.

It is said that people do not worry about lack of worries but are uneven. When people become chickens, the people standing on the shore will naturally be hated, which is human nature. Therefore, people are both envious and jealous of summer.

But under the media's deception, they all have become jealous. They are jealous of the good luck of summer, their good life of summer, and their good fortune of summer... Once the jealousy is burning, it will not be easy to extinguish.

For a moment, Xia Tian became a villain, selfish, stingy, treacherous and cunning...

I forgot that at the beginning of the crisis, I donated 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in the summer to supply daily necessities to Hong Kong people, solving their living difficulties.

I also forgot that Tianxia Finance has fully redeemed the depositors' deposits, while most other banks can only rely on their debts and delay them for a day when they are squeezed out.

...

Xia Tian was also speechless about this change.

But even if public opinion scolds him, he will not pay a penny.

The reason is very simple. He will not save the Hong Kong economy.

He deliberately started the storm in order to make the British group suffer losses. How could he slap himself in the mouth and take out the money to save the economy?

What's more, he is saving the economy now, and the British are benefiting, while the people are suffering from the losses.

After the economic crisis is lifted, the British will quickly recover, and the people will not be able to recover for a while.

Just like after the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, although Wall Street was affected and the five major investment banks collapsed, Wall Street quickly revived after the crisis. It is still called the wind and rain in the global financial industry, and no one can defeat it.

In comparison, ordinary people in the United States are becoming more and more difficult. The income continues to be sluggish, the unemployment rate has not decreased but increased, and the gap between the rich and the poor is increasing. Otherwise, they would not have chosen someone like Yu Pu.

The reason for this is that the upper class of society has the right to allocate social resources, and they will give priority to the resources to themselves. As for the lower class of society, they can only share a little leftover.

So summer won't take out the money.

But this doesn't mean he won't do anything.

Xia Tiantian immediately announced that some employees of Tianxia Group's Hong Kong would collectively increase their wages by 30%.

The number of employees in the Hong Kong part of Tianxia Group exceeds 50,000, and the salary collectively increases by 30%, which means that nearly 500 million Hong Kong dollars will be paid every month. That year it was 6 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not a small amount.

Especially in the current financial crisis in Hong Kong, the unemployment rate has skyrocketed. Even if you keep a job, you may have to reduce your salary and benefits. The salary of Tianxia Group has increased by 30%, which is even more outstanding.

Therefore, after the announcement of this order, the whole world group was filled with joy, calling for long live Xia Tian! It also made Xia Tian’s support in the group reach its peak.

When Hong Kong people saw this, they were naturally envious and jealous.

Many of them lost their jobs, but in summer they not only fired employees, but also raised their employees' salaries. It's really angering.

Therefore, some people kept making sour words, saying that they had money to raise workers' wages in summer, but they didn't have money to help the general public. It was not what a gentleman did.

Some people also called for boycott of summer, boycott of the World Group, watch Asian TV programs, watch movies of Tianxia Film, buy food from Tianxia Food, and chase stars from Tianxia Entertainment...

Xia Tian didn't care about this.

This boycott trend cannot last for too long. Just like the Diaoyu Islands incident that year, the whole country hated Fusang to the core, and there were even slogans such as smashing Fusang cars and boycotting Japanese goods. However, after the trend, Japanese cars, Japanese goods, etc. still had excellent sales in China and were not greatly affected.

The Tianxia Group in summer has already occupied a monopoly position in many fields in Hong Kong. The most prominent one is Tianxia Energy. Almost every household in Hong Kong needs to use Tianxia Energy's gas.

If you boycott it, almost all families will not be able to open fire.

This is reality, I have to accept it!

And Xia Tian understands one truth: it is unrealistic to please everyone, and it is the smartest to please the people you need.
