Chapter 260 0259 [I Donate One Million! ! 】

"Do you know the vice president Li Jiacheng? It's a pity that the vice president is worthless. There are seven or eight vice presidents in the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce. If you know the president, it will be great!"

Seeing Shi Zhijian and Li Jiacheng smiling at each other, the bald brother next to him shook his bald head with a look of pity.

Shi Zhijian smiled, so what if we know each other? Where can I go?

"Okay, the conference begins! Let us first invite Mr. Liao Leiwen, the chairman of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, to speak! Everyone applaud!"

The master of ceremonies in charge of presiding over the meeting announced the end. Amidst warm applause, a man in his forties and wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood up in the middle of the rostrum, holding a speech in his hand, and began to speak.

The bald brother next to him was very enthusiastic. Seeing that Shi Zhijian was young, he was afraid that he would not know him, so he helped him popularize knowledge.

"Hey, this is Mr. Liao, the president of Chaozhou! He is also the head of the Liao family in Hong Kong! Have you heard of Chong Hing Bank in Hong Kong? It was founded by their family!"

Shi Zhijian was taken aback for a moment, the Hong Kong Liao family was not very famous compared to the later Li Jiacheng family.

But the banner of Chong Hing Bank is very bright, especially this is the first Chinese-funded bank opened by Chaozhou people. It has helped many Chinese businessmen. It can be said that the rise of many Hong Kong tycoons in the future will be inseparable from the support of Chong Hing Bank. Among them is Li Jiacheng.

"If you can get to know Chairman Liao, you will be prosperous. If there is any problem in your company in the future, you can go to Chairman Liao, and you will help you solve your financial problems in minutes! Great!" Bald The eldest brother fell into a wonderful fantasy.

Liao Leiwen is a very upright person. It can be seen from the content of his speech that he traced the development history of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce at the beginning, and then described the organizational structure and daily operations of the Hong Kong Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce. Hour.

Shi Zhijian was not used to such long-winded speeches, so he fell asleep after listening.

The bald elder brother next to him, who hoped to impress President Liao, kept taking notes, raised his head from time to time and nodded slightly, with a look of sudden enlightenment. Shi Zhijian really didn't know what he understood.

Finally, after talking about the history and development of Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Liao talked about the key points of today's conference.

"Today we hipsters account for about 1/5 of the total population of Hong Kong, and we have a lot of clan associations, fellow countrymen associations, chambers of commerce, cultural and educational associations, etc. , there are more than 80 registered with the Hong Kong government.”

"Although the directors of each session of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce and the majority of villagers discussed the establishment of the Chaozhou Guild Building many times before the Anti-Japanese War, due to the war and other reasons, the establishment of the Guild Hall has not been realized."

"Two years ago, I served as the chairman of the 25th Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, and the joint vice-chairmen Mr. Lin Jizhen and Mr. Lu Gaowen once again proposed to build the Chaozhou Guild Hall. They understand that building the hall is a top priority..."

Shi Zhijian understood after listening for a long time.

It turns out that the current Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce is rented. The Hong Kong Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce has been established for nearly 50 years, but it has been renting the former site of Wenham West Street and has no property of its own.

Therefore, when President Liao was in office, he planned to do a major task, which was to raise funds to build the Teochew Guild Hall. Now the ten-storey building has been half built, but unfortunately, there is no money!

What Chairman Liao has to do now is to invite business leaders and business owners from all over Hong Kong to make voluntary donations so that the construction of the hall can be started smoothly.

...

Sure enough, nothing can talk about money.

Talking about money can easily hurt feelings.

Immediately at the scene, there was a fake and shoddy Teochew guy like Shi Zhijian, who couldn't help but stood up and asked, "I don't know how much it will cost to build this building, and how much do we need to donate now?"

Liao Leiwen didn't hide it, "The total cost is about two million, and now it's still about one million!"

"Wow, a million!"

There were bursts of boos at the scene.

It's not that these Chaozhou people have no money, the problem is that they know that money is hard to earn because they are too rich.

"I have donated two or three times before, and now I want to donate again?"

"That's right, even if we Chaozhou people are all rich, we can't pluck wool like this!"

Seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, Liao Leiwen couldn't help pressing down with his hands to calm everyone down, "Please be quiet, everyone, I still have something to say."

"I know it's really difficult for everyone to continue to donate money, but we are all Chaozhou people, we should help each other in the same boat, and we can't just watch our Chaozhou guild hall fail!"

Sitting next to Liao Leiwen, Li Jiacheng took a sip of the hot tea with his hands on the handle of the teacup, feeling amused in his heart, what's the use of talking about it? They are all old-fashioned things, which have been mentioned a few times.

What's more, many people in the audience have already communicated with him, the vice president, in private, deliberately reacting by refusing to donate. After a while, the vice president will stand up like a savior, lead the crowd, and scold Fang Qiu , Get things done with donations.

The vice president's seat has been sitting for a long time, and it is no longer glamorous. He wants to change to the president's seat.

"One million, now there is only one million short! If anyone here is willing to donate generously, our Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce will definitely remember it!" Liao Leiwen said that his eyes were a little red when he was moved.

Lai Hao who was sitting on the left under the stage couldn't help muttering: "Isn't it only one million, everyone just pick out a little bit and it's done!"

The god snorted coldly: "It's fixed? Are you asked to donate?"

"Why, can't I donate it? I can still get a million!"

"Okay, of course you can! But you and I, as well as Lao Xiang, can only donate a little, not too much!"

"Why? Do they think my money is dirty?"

"Correct answer!" The god gave Lihao a rare appreciation.

"Your and my money are dirty, even if you donate too much, don't let someone say that this Chaozhou Guild Hall was built with black money in the future! So no matter how much you rush, you can't stand out at this time!"

Lai Hao fell silent, for the first time, he was disgusted with his identity.

Aunt Pu, no one wants to donate as much money as you want!

Liao Leiwen looked at the scene, and those people were angry with Li Jiacheng, all of them seemed indifferent, some even started yawning, pretending to be impatient on purpose.

Li Jiacheng even sipped his tea with a smile on his face. This time, he has secured the chairman seat!

At this moment, a voice said: "One million? Not much, I will donate!"

With a bang, the scene exploded.

What's the meaning?

one million? Donate in full? !

Li Jiacheng was even more taken aback, and hurriedly looked at that person.

Lai Hao, the god and the boss also looked at the man.

Seeing everyone looking at him, the bald brother sitting next to Shi Zhijian quickly waved his hands: "It's not me! I didn't say that!"

Then Shi Zhijian got up slowly, smiled and said to Liao Leiwen and others: "I said it! One million, I will donate!"
