Rebirth of Xiangjiang: Across the World

Chapter 307 The annual meeting is in progress

On January 1, at the Hung Hom Stadium, traffic martial law was enforced near the venue from 20:[-] p.m., and hundreds of law enforcement officers checked passing vehicles.

Last year, people still thought that Huanyu Group or Zheng Yaoyang was just a clown trying to please the public.

But this year they cannot and dare not think so.

Last year, Hong Kong's economy was in a period of rapid growth. Whether it was the rich people on the original list, or Hong Kong's per capita income, it has been greatly improved.

Mainly also due to the economic crisis in Japan, a large outflow of wealth and funds looking for new shelters.

A large amount of wealth originally belonging to Japan poured into the four Asian tigers, allowing the four major cities to enter the fast lane of development again.

Even the Hang Seng Index of Hong Kong stocks has increased from 3200 points at the beginning of last year to 4192 points today, and the economic conditions of all walks of life are rising steadily.

The economic growth of various industries in Xiangjiang is very fast, but it cannot compare with the growth rate of Zheng Yaoyang's personal wealth.

As high as 48.31 billion US dollars, the sum of the second richest and the third richest in Hong Kong, has been the richest man in Hong Kong for two consecutive years.

Compared with last year's 21.28 billion US dollars, Zheng Yaoyang's personal wealth has more than doubled. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it will achieve a growth of 210 billion.

The key point is that a lot of money is not earned from Xiangjiang. They can only be amazed!
Knowing that the Huanyu Group is going to hold an annual meeting, according to rumors, the bonus this time is as high as 5000 million Hong Kong dollars, and the live broadcast will still be used.

According to Zheng Yaoyang, the live broadcast company's annual meeting is to share "happiness" with the whole of Hong Kong.

Although the annual meeting was not publicized through formal channels, it made people feel confused and did not conform to Zheng Yaoyang's personality.

But after six o'clock in the evening, countless people in Xiangjiang who had just finished a busy day of work hurried back home, turned on the TV, and identified the truth of the news.

After all, before Zheng Yaoyang appeared, ordinary people could imagine the limit of rich people's lives, that is, they could drive luxury cars and spend time with actresses and live in big villas.

But after Zheng Yaoyang appeared, the people of Xiangjiang saw how colorful the life of the rich is, and how money can be spent like this.

At 06:30 that afternoon, Huanyu TV started the live broadcast on time, but the annual meeting program had not yet started, and the live broadcast camera was temporarily locked at the entrance of the venue.

Jackie Chan, Anita Mui, Alan Tam, actors, directors, singers and producers who are almost famous, all entered the Hung Hom Stadium through the red carpet one after another.

However, this is only the beginning, no matter how famous the artist is, they are only the employees of Huanyu, and the big shots from all walks of life in Xiangjiang will enter the stage later.

Zou Huaiwen, former chairman of Golden Harvest, Shao Yifu of TVB, Cha Liangyong, newspaper tycoon and novelist, Li Laoguo of Sun Hung Kai, Lao Zheng of Chow Tai Fook...

If last year was just a grand event in the entertainment industry, then this year will be a grand event for the entire Xiangjiang.

There are too many big names and surnames, and the stars gather, making the audience dazzled and playing guessing fun.

Until the very end, Zheng Yaoyang wore a white suit with a smile on his face, and entered the stage arm in arm with Zhou Xiaolin.

The camera focuses on that young and handsome face, and people can't help but sigh the magic of this world.

This is the richest man in Xiangjiang. As far as the eye can see, the creator of everything is only a 20-year-old boy.

Bao Yugang's grandson?

Zheng Yaoyang's grandfather!

Huanyu was listed on the Hong Kong stock market last year, breaking various records one after another, and its market value once approached 500 billion Hong Kong dollars.

At that time, some people would question Zheng Yaoyang, not because of Bao Yugang's halo, the seniors in the industry would give him three points, so he was allowed to dominate.

However, shorting Japan’s property market in the middle of the year, the world’s first short-selling plan of financing houses, raked in billions of dollars, although it made the people of Tokyo hate it, it made the people of Hong Kong feel proud, and they also have the strength to harvest others.

And at the end of the year, we will aggressively enter the communication industry, cancel the high network access fees, and use extremely low prices to allow ordinary people to enjoy the convenience of communication technology.

All kinds of achievements, to this day, although some people still question his achievements, they are nothing more than standing on the shoulders of giants, but no one doubts his ability anymore.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the annual meeting started on time.

The first person on stage was not Zheng Yaoyang, but General Manager Zhou Xiaolin, which made many people feel puzzled.

The audience didn't think much about it, they didn't care who gave a speech, even the actors and singers who performed the show.

The mountains of prizes piled up next to the stage, and the intense and exciting lucky draw at the end are the highlights that the audience loves to see.

The first prize is five prizes of 88 yuan, the second prize is ten BMW cars, the third prize is twenty special-made PHS mobile phones, and there are countless home appliances.

The ultimate destination of those lucrative prizes is what the audience cares about.

During the two-hour show, although Zheng Yaoyang was present in person, he never appeared on stage.

The attitude is obvious, it seems that they intend to completely push Zhou Xiaolin to the front of the stage, while Zheng Yaoyang retreats to the second line of Huanyu.

"Feeling a bit redundant?"

Li Zhekai asked his father beside him, and if anyone in Xiangjiang didn't know that Zhou Xiaolin belonged to Zheng Yaoyang, the relationship between the two could not be described as intimate.

The power of the two in the Huanyu Group is also divided into the top leader and the second leader.

Zheng Yaoyang seldom manages the company's affairs, and Zhou Xiaolin usually takes the lead.

Zhou Xiaolin followed Zheng Yaoyang's orders again, no matter how I looked at it tonight, it felt like unnecessary actions.

Since being assigned to the cold country market, Li Zhekai put away his past pride, and whenever he encounters something he doesn't understand, he will humbly ask his father for advice.

"Hehe, I don't have the skills to separate myself. How long has Zheng Yaoyang developed, and the stall is already so big."

Li Jiacheng sneered. After all, he was well-informed, and he could see the essence through the appearance at a glance.

Manpower is sometimes poor. Over the past year, Zheng Yaoyang launched four or five super projects.

The funds involved in each project are huge, requiring Zheng Yaoyang to personally operate it.

And he has only been developing for more than a year, less than two years, and the reserve of relevant talents in the enterprise is seriously insufficient.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

A good thing means that the capable will go up and the mediocre will go down, the upward channel is not blocked, and everyone has the hope of being promoted.

Bad things mean that those who are capable may not be able to take up some important positions, and people who are trustworthy must be held.

The top priority of Huanyu Group is the top priority, because it is a listed company, and it is also an important channel for Zheng Yaoyang to obtain stable income. This position must be taken by someone he can absolutely trust.

But the essence of Huanyu Group is a hodgepodge, a fusion of former Golden Harvest employees, as well as celebrities and entertainers.

Some of them have already achieved great fame, and they were in high positions when they first entered the universe.

It stands to reason that when a celebrity artist makes money, he must set up a studio to expand the upper limit of his own development.

But this kind of behavior is absolutely not allowed by Zheng Yaoyang, that's why Zhou Xiaolin keeps pressing them down, but they may not be convinced.After all, they are women's generation.

So in the past year, Zheng Yaoyang has been intentionally weakening his influence in Huanyu, actively supporting Zhou Xiaolin, and gradually increasing her weight in the group.

Including tonight, Zhou Xiaolin was also the protagonist, speaking on stage on behalf of all the leaders of Huanyu Group.

Li Zhekai opened his eyes wide and murmured to himself: "Is the thing he considers really so long-term?"

Li Jiacheng explained: "It's not a long-term consideration, but some things come to an end and we have to do it as a last resort."

Some plans seem almost miraculous to the outside world, but sometimes it just goes straight when the boat arrives at the bridge head, and it will happen naturally.

Just like Zheng Yaoyang's grandfather, when he bought Wharf, it was simply because the sea business was not easy to do at that time, so he planned to set up some family business on land.

It's just that he happened to discover him and the potential value of Wharf, and the Li family was not as strong as the Bao family.

After discussion, the two sides hit it off, and Bao Yugang won Wharf, and he won Whampoa Hutchison.

Some things are actually very common, but the public and the media are willing to imagine them as legendary cases.

Of course, this does not deny that some legendary cases are true, such as Zheng Yaoyang's development process.

The last performance of the annual meeting was announced by Zheng Yaoyang's song "Who Knows the Heart of a Prodigal Son".

It's a very affectionate song, but it was first sung by this famous playboy in Xiangjiang, people can't help but hate his teeth, and envy his money-making ability.

Fortunately, Zheng Yaoyang's singing is still a pass, and more than four minutes is not too long, so he passed it with patience.

Not long after, the song ended, Zheng Yaoyang did not leave the stage, but signaled for the stage lights to be turned on, and at the same time invited all the artists participating tonight to come on stage and give speeches.

Holding the microphone, he took the place of the host, stood at the front of the crowd of artists, and bowed in salute.

"Happy time is always very short. Dear viewers and friends, our live broadcast will end here tonight. See you next year."

The voice fell, the live broadcast was cut off, and the screens of countless TVs watching were temporarily blacked out, and then the opening song of the hit "Zombie Daoist" began to play.

The audience in front of the screen was stupefied. They waited for more than two hours just to watch the final lottery draw.

The lottery draw is about to start, and the live broadcast is suddenly cut off. What is the difference between this and when you are about to be happy and find out that your partner is a ladyboy?
How is it different from fraud?
No, this is a scam!
Numerous angry Xiangjiang viewers called Xiangjiang Broadcasting Office to accuse Huanyu TV of fraud.

However, the answer I received was that Huanyu TV's live broadcast process tonight was all in compliance with the regulations.

The reported live broadcast time is 135 minutes, mainly because it was rectified after being complained last year.

The viewers who complained were stunned. They thought Huanyu wouldn't care, but they didn't expect to rectify it.

On the other side, at the Hung Hom Stadium, the host returned to the stage to preside over the next lottery draw ceremony.

1000, 2000 employees, and more than 5000 family members of the same employees will share [-] million bonus prizes.

Zhou Xiaolin came to Zheng Yaoyang's side with a strange look on her face: "Is this really appropriate?"

Zheng Yaoyang didn't care, and said with a smile: "What's not appropriate? The broadcasting office still has to sell the face. They say to change, we will change, is there a problem?"

Zhou Xiaolin helped her forehead helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "You're not selling face, you're obviously embarrassing them."

Zheng Yaoyang chuckled lightly and said, "Anyway, our propaganda goal has already been achieved, so we'll stop it if it's broadcast live."

This year was originally the same as last year, the whole process was broadcast live, including the final lottery ceremony.

It's just that when the live broadcast was approaching, several managers of the broadcasting department suddenly found them and started to dig up old accounts.

They said that their live broadcast last year did not comply with the regulations, and that the live broadcast lottery had a bad impact on the people of Xiangjiang, and they ordered them to rectify the program process, or simply cancel tonight's live broadcast.

The meaning is also obvious. At the end of the year and the end of the year, they need extra income to live a fat year.

Zhou Xiaolin originally wanted to get some money, and let it go. After all, the king of Hades is easy to mess with, but the kid is hard to deal with.

But Zheng Yaoyang refused, directly announced the rectification, and canceled the final lottery of the live broadcast.

In Tokyo before, it was fine if he was not familiar with the place, but in Xiangjiang, how could his territory be threatened by others, and whether it was necessary to spread his face.

At this time, Zhang Qifeng suddenly came over and handed over a phone, leaning against Zheng Yaoyang and whispering.

Zheng Yaoyang looked at Zhou Xiaolin, laughed and said, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here."

Zhou Xiaolin watched for a long time, and found that Zheng Yaoyang didn't even answer the phone: "Why didn't you answer?"

Zheng Yaoyang threw the phone to the assistant: "What do you want to say when you pick it up? Don't worry about it, just pretend you didn't hear it."

Zhou Xiaolin sighed: "Wouldn't Huanyu Group have to come forward to apologize at that time?"

She really doesn't want to be troublesome, she just wants to develop with peace of mind and help Zheng Yaoyang keep this career.

Zheng Yaoyang said: "Your personality is too soft, sometimes you should be stronger."

Zhou Xiaolin looked at Zheng Yaoyang with complicated eyes, implying something: "Maybe."

Zheng Yaoyang didn't dare to say a word for a moment, he was engrossed in the lucky draw ceremony on the stage.

Zhou Xiaolin snorted a few times: "Coward."

With the start of the stage lucky draw ceremony, the bigwigs who were invited also began to leave one after another.

Their mission has been completed, witnessing the transfer of power in the universe, and staying any longer will only add to their own obstacles.

Since Huanyu held the annual meeting last year, the annual meetings of almost all companies have started to be held quietly, so as not to be compared by the media.

Invest 5000 million in bonuses,

This kind of generosity is the only one in Hong Kong.

Out of sight out of mind.

The next day, the details of the Huanyu Group's annual meeting swept across Hong Kong.

There was an elderly cleaner who was working and won a first prize of 88 in cash, and another uncle security guard got a luxurious Mercedes-Benz.

There were so many such messages that the door of the Human Resources Department of Huanyu Group was almost broken by thousands of job seekers.

The annual meeting is to show financial resources and strength, so as to facilitate better recruitment and expand influence in the coming year.

at the same time,

A spokesperson for Huanyu Group also came forward to apologize.

Due to a technical error last night, the final lottery session could not be broadcast smoothly. I hope the audience will forgive me.

The image of an innocent victim also implicitly expressed that the technical error was not their problem, but other force majeure factors, directly pointing the finger at the leadership of the broadcasting department.

When the news came out, several leaders of the broadcasting department were immediately pushed to the forefront by public opinion.

At noon that day, the door was surrounded by a group of reporters.

The broadcast office knew it was wrong, and ordered the security department to refuse any approaching people.

It's just that this behavior violates freedom of speech and the public's right to know.

The reporters went online like sharks who smelled blood, and they almost talked about violating the teachings of the great ancestral ancestors.

Not long after, the Independent Commission Against Corruption received complaints from a large number of journalists from the public, and under the pressure of public opinion, it entered the broadcasting office to investigate.

In the end, through investigation, it was found that because several administrative personnel of the broadcasting department had miscommunicated with the Huanyu Group, which led to a live broadcast accident, they were severely dismissed.

Lin Jie approached Zheng Yaoyang and admitted that there was nothing he could do, but he also hoped that the matter could be turned around as soon as possible for everyone's benefit.

Zheng Yaoyang didn't show his face. Huanyu is an entertainment company, and dealing with the broadcasting department will be indispensable in the future.

Stay on the line in everything, see you in the future.
