Chapter 38 Cold Rain Charity Fund
On July 1, 1997, at 7 pm, the banquet hall on the fourth floor of the Hong Kong Hanyu International Holiday Hotel gathered in the banquet hall.
The dazzling hall, the ceremony stand paved with red carpets, and the flashlights are connected to the beautiful person wearing gorgeous cheongsams. The host of CCTV's fifth variety show "Sports and Entertainment Palace" and the famous actor Zhang Yan. Today is the day when the world-famous consortium Hanyu Mimon Group established its charity fund Hanyu Charity Fund.
Perhaps no one would have thought that this charity party would be upgraded to such a high standard. Zhang Yan, who had been through a long time, even his excited voice was trembling: "The guests attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Hanyu Charity Fund today include Mr. Jiang, Premier Li, Vice Premier Zhu, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and our respected Comrade Xiaoping!"
After Zhang Yan's slightly excited high notes, warm applause immediately erupted from the audience, and the dazzling lamp posts were projected on a table. Mr. Deng, Chairman, Premier Li, Vice Premier Zhu and Mr. Dong all signaled with smiles.
Zeng Lingfeng also sat on this table, including Grandma Deng and Mr. Dong's wife.
Mr. Deng sat next to Grandma Deng with a friendly smile on her face. Perhaps only in Hong Kong can we experience this way of attending. If it was a domestic cocktail party, it would not be so "unserious". The lampposts were dazzling, as if they were attending a celebrity event. But similarly, as if they were following the customs of the countryside, Mr. Deng was in Hong Kong, to a certain extent, represented the image of domestic officials and even leaders. It was enlightened and more modern. It was the impression that Mr. Deng hoped to leave to all Hong Kong, Macao and Western media.
There were many Hong Kong celebrities at the dinner, but the one who attracted the most attention from the Hong Kong media was Mr. Deng, even if he sat on the other side of him, the three most powerful people in China today. Unfortunately, all the media where they could participate in this ribbon-cutting ceremony received a notice from the Press and Publication Administration, and any reports about the leaders must be strictly reviewed by the Press and Publication Administration.
"Ms. Chan Fang Ansheng, Director of the Administration!"
"Mr. Li Ka-shing, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hutchison Group!"
"Mr. Ho Ying-tung, President of the Hong Kong Chinese Chamber of Commerce!"
...
With Zhang Yan's crisp high notes, the lamp posts projected onto the tables.
Zhang Yan continued to introduce the guests there.
"Ms. Catherine, Vice President of Hanyu Mimon Group, and Mr. Smith, President of Hanyu Mimon Group, Hong Kong!"
Zeng Lingfeng did not intend to come forward in person, he was just participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony as an outsider.
Catherine nodded to Zeng Lingfeng from afar. She knew Zeng Lingfeng’s thoughts. Smith was not familiar with Zeng Lingfeng, so he didn’t notice Zeng Lingfeng at all.
After the introduction of the guests, the ribbon-cutting ceremony began soon.
Zhang Yan's voice sounded again: "Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Hanyu Mimeng Group, I would like to welcome you all..." Zhang Yan introduced Hanyu Mimeng Group and gave some brief introductions to the upcoming Hanyu Charity Fund.
The Hanyu Charity Fund was established by Hanyu Mimeng Group for US$10 billion. Its main service targets are education in poor areas of the mainland, covering the whole country, from preschool education to undergraduate teaching.
After the fund is established, 2,000 Hope Primary Schools will be established in poor areas across the country. All expenses of these primary schools will be under the responsibility of Hanyu Charity Fund. However, teaching is still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, and the finances are provided by Hanyu Charity Fund.
In addition, the Hanyu Charity Fund will also spend $10 million to $100 million each year depending on the fund's profitability to fund poor middle school and college students. All qualifications will be reviewed by the fund's personnel.
"The following is our exciting moment of hope. Dear guests, now we invite Comrade Xiaoping, Chairman Jiang, Premier Li, Vice Premier Zhu, Chief Executive Mr. Dong, and Miss Catherine, Vice President of Hanyu Mimon Group, to cut the ribbon for the "Hanyu Charity Fund"!" Zhang Yan's voice was so beautiful.
Mr. Deng looked at Zeng Lingfeng with a funny look. The big boss was at the scene, but he sent a soldier under his command to cut the ribbon. It was really funny.
In fact, Zeng Lingfeng’s current actions are indeed a bit concealed. There are not many people who come to the scene to know his true identity. After all, the elite class in Hong Kong is gathered here.
Vice Premier Zhu sat next to Zeng Lingfeng. He quietly poked Zeng Lingfeng and whispered: "Lingfeng, go up with Uncle Zhu?"
Zeng Lingfeng smiled embarrassedly and said, "No, Uncle Zhu." Although he was hiding the bell, Zeng Lingfeng still didn't want to break the paper. In this state, at least the public is not sure of his identity. As for those at the top, they will not promote it everywhere.
In fact, the average guests present had a lot of speculation about Zeng Lingfeng's identity. Just last night, he appeared on the rostrum of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, and was with Mr. Deng and his wife and Vice Premier Zhu. Now, a few hours later, he appeared again at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Hanyu Mimon Group's Hanyu Charity Fund, and appeared on the No. 1 table in the center. The people sitting on it were the most powerful person in Hong Kong and even China. The three giants of the country will not mention that the identity of Mr. Deng and his wife are transcendent, and the identity of the Chief Executive is also extraordinary. Eight and seven are all powerful characters. So as the only eighth person who was not introduced by the emcee, it is obviously impossible for everyone to have no guesses in their hearts.
However, guessing can only be guessing. As long as the insider is not exposed, it can only be guessing.
After the five Deng and the other two left, only the two ladies, Grandma Deng and Mrs. Dong, as well as Zeng Lingfeng, a young and overly young man, were left on the table No. 1. Zeng Lingfeng seemed even more prominent. However, Zeng Lingfeng was fine, just sat there calmly, looking at the high platform built in the middle of the hall, where the rostrum was the ribbon cutting ceremony.
After a brief greeting with the five guests, the owner Katherine was ready for the ribbon cutting.
"Prepare, one, two, three!" With Zhang Yan's slogan, the six people cut off their heads at the same time.
The guests came down to the stage and cheered, and the "Chanyu Charity Fund" was officially established.
"On behalf of Hanyu Mimon Group, I would like to thank the Hong Kong Charity Federation, the Hong Kong Red Cross Society, Phoenix TV, and all the guests here. We have a long way to go to help poor students. In fact, while we give the children hope, they also give us hope, and to promote learning and benefit the people, and make contributions for thousands of years. 'A strong youth means a strong country', Mr. Liang Qichao's deafening cry is still in his ears. Children are the hope of the family, and the hope of society and the country. I hope that our out-of-school students will see hope because of our help, hope our country will be more prosperous, and hope that Hong Kong's Oriental pearl will become brighter! Thank you everyone!" Zhang Yan said with some emotion, "Below is a free cocktail party. I hope you all have a happy evening!"
