Video Game Empire

There has always been a shortage of computer talents in Hong Kong. In order to cultivate more game and software development talents, Dongfang Electronics Co., Ltd. cooperated with three institutions of Hong Kong University, CUHK and Hong Kong Polytechnic to establish Dongfang IT College. (starter)

Oriental IT College is not a statutory post-secondary college, but a private vocational training institution. The courses mainly teach computer programming and other related content. Whether it is games or software, it needs to be realized through computer programming. Computer software talents in Hong Kong are too scarce. Taking CUHK as an example, the number of students enrolled in computer science majors is still less than 100 per year after the enrollment expansion this year.

As the chairman of the preparatory committee, Li Xuan is planning to build the second polytechnic institute in Hong Kong, the City Polytechnic Institute, but that is far from being able to quench the thirst, and it will take a year or two to truly achieve enrollment.

Faced with this somewhat embarrassing situation, Li Xuan had long planned to set up a school of his own to cultivate professional talents. After nearly half a year of preparation, Oriental IT Academy finally officially started recruiting students before the end of the year. Li Xuan did not set up a higher education institution recognized by the Hong Kong government. That is something the government needs to be responsible for. He set up a professional IT training institution.

Of course, Dongfang IT Academy is not like the institutions that cheated money in later generations. They rely on advertising everywhere to attract people to sign up. As long as they are charged, they cannot be refunded. Knowledge may not be as high as some students. The Oriental IT Academy founded by Li Xuan hired teachers from the University of Hong Kong and CUHK to teach, but the curriculum was more practical than the university setting.

The course is divided into 6-month basic class and 9-month intensive class, full-time teaching. What the university cultivates is the overall quality of students' moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic qualities. The Oriental IT College only cultivates professional knowledge, condensing the courses taught in several years into more than half a year. There is still a lot of hands-on time every day.

It can be said that the purpose of Oriental IT Academy is not to make money at all, but to quickly cultivate a group of available computer talents. If the student can get a good grade in the final exam. Eastern Electronics also offers well-paying jobs.

The tuition fee of Oriental IT College is not cheap. The 6-month basic class charges 6,000 yuan, the 9-month intensive class charges 9,000 yuan, and the tuition fee for one year of university is only 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. In order to ensure the quality of teaching, it college adopts small classes with 20 students in each class. The original plan was to offer two basic classes and intensive classes in the first phase.

However, the high tuition fees did not stop everyone's enthusiasm for signing up. Within three days of the announcement of the enrollment information, the number of applicants exceeded 500. Under the hype of a series of recent information. Entrepreneurship is undoubtedly equated with making a fortune by many, and the game industry is considered a big gold mine.

In the past, many people suffered from lack of technical foundation and could only stare at other people's success. Now it is rare to have such an opportunity. No matter how high the tuition fee is, they have to grab this ticket. But computer is a highly specialized subject, not everyone is suitable to learn, at least you must have strong logical thinking ability, if you are proficient in mathematics, it is even better. The Investment Promotion Office can only patiently dissuade some applicants who have no potential.

However, Li Xuan has been very busy recently, and he has no time to care about the affairs of Oriental It Academy. He is finally about to end his long-distance love run for more than two years and is ready to walk into the grave of marriage. Of course before the official marriage. There is also an engagement step.

According to Li Xuan's own point of view, the engagement only requires a meeting between the parents of both parties, everyone sits down for a meal, and then invites a group of friends to have an engagement party. Officially tell everyone that the bride and groom have their own famous flowers (the famous grass has their own owners).

But the older generation definitely disapproves of being so sloppy, especially since the Li family is now a super wealthy family in the rich Jiaxiangjiang, let alone lose face in this matter. Therefore, Li Xuan's parents had already chosen the auspicious day for their engagement with their in-laws.

Follow the traditional ceremony in Hong Kong. Li Xuan was woken up early in the morning. Then the whole family first worshipped their ancestors under the auspices of the head of the family, Li Haichuan. From Kee Wah Bakery, the most famous Chinese bakery in Hong Kong with a history of more than 40 years, specially-made cakes are placed in the center of the offering table. This is one of the dowry gifts that will be sent to the woman's house later. The whole family solemnly offered incense to their ancestors and prayed for a happy marriage for Li Xuan in the future.

10:00 AM. Accompanied by relatives and friends, Li Xuan brought a variety of dowry gifts and set off. The number of people who go to the woman's house is also particular, usually an even number of 6 or 8 people. The number of limousines you take should be even, but avoid 4 and 8, usually 2 or 6. Li Xuan chose three extended version Lincolns and three extended version Cadillacs, the front two carrying people and the back four carrying dowry.

The groom and the matchmaker must sit in the first car. Li Xuan invited Mr. Ma Lin, the principal of CUHK, to be a matchmaker for him, and Ma happily agreed. When the car drove 100 meters downstairs from Zhong Chuhong's house, it stopped and fired a cannon to inform the woman that she was here.

The Zhong family had been waiting for a long time, and immediately responded by firing a cannon, and the car slowly drove to the downstairs of the Zhong family's residence. Ma Lao, the matchmaker, got off first, but Li Xuan couldn't get off directly. Zhong Chuhong's two sisters came forward obediently to open the car door before he could get out of the car. And Zhong Chuhong's younger brother was already waiting by the car door with a golden basin. Li Xuan washed his hands and gave each of the three of them a red envelope, and finally they could go upstairs.

The Zhong family's parents and Li Xuan's parents actually knew each other for a long time, but they still got to know each other through the introduction of the matchmaker. Ma Lao, a master of Chinese studies as a matchmaker, speaks auspiciously as soon as he opens his mouth, and every sentence is very elegant and festive, which sets the atmosphere very well.

The man carried the dowry gifts into Zhong's house one by one and displayed them in the living room. Then Ma Lao, the matchmaker, took the gilded wedding invitation and handed the bride's father all kinds of dowry gifts, gold ornaments, and gifts one by one.

Most families in Hong Kong choose Wending, that is, a small betrothal. The male family only sends the bride's family gifts such as clothing, jewelry, and gift cakes. The big betrothal ceremony is also called the big gift, and the betrothal gift is more particular. There are twelve kinds of gift cakes, coconuts, tea leaves, Fuyuan, goose, longevity noodles, incense candles, seafood, Jingguo, and rice, each of which has a meaning.

For example, once the tea secret marriage contract is concluded, women should never regret it; The gift cake is the main betrothal gift. The woman will distribute the gift cake given by the husband's family to relatives and friends, the so-called "pie cake", to announce to relatives and friends that her daughter is about to get married.

After the enlistment was over, the Zhong family offered all the dowry gifts on the **** table, and then invited all the guests of the man to sit down, while Li Xuan, the groom's official, was at the last seat. At this time, the bride Zhong Chuhong finally came out of the court under the lead of a good-for-nothing woman who was a "full blessing". She held sweet tea in her hand and offered tea to the men's guests one by one.

After the tea was served, Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong exchanged engagement rings in the presence of their relatives and friends. The groom first put the ring on the bride's right middle finger, and then the bride put the ring on the groom's left middle finger. After that, the mother-in-law first put a gold chain on the bride, and then the mother-in-law put a gold chain on the groom, implying that the two will be together forever.

Li Xuan looked at Ming Yan's moving girlfriend, who would be his lifelong lover in the future. He couldn't help but reach out and gently hold Zhong Chuhong's face, lowered his head and kissed it.

"Oh!" There was a burst of laughter around, Zhong Chuhong hurriedly pushed her boyfriend away, and in an instant her face was covered with a shy blush. She lowered her head and stared at the toes of her shoes, not daring to look up at people.

"Come here for incense!" Zhong Chuhong's uncle called out at the right time to relieve his niece.

When the woman's family worships her ancestors, she needs to invite the bride's uncle to light the incense candles. Father Zhong, Mother Zhong, the bride, and the new son-in-law Li Xuan, the four of them offered incense together to inform the ancestors that the marriage was fixed and pray for blessings.

The whole hiring process has come to an end here. The Zhong family has prepared a sumptuous engagement banquet for the relatives and friends who came to see the ceremony. Although Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong are not yet married, after they are engaged, the Zhong and Li families can officially become their children's relatives. In fact, when the parents of both parties choose the date, the engagement date and the wedding date are set together, and the wedding will be on May 10 next year.

Perhaps it was Li Xuan's previous kissing of his girlfriend, which made Zhong Chuhong a little embarrassed. He ignored Li Xuan throughout the luncheon, but stayed by Li's mother's side and served his future mother-in-law with vegetables. The scene of the happy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also reassured Mother Zhong, who was a little nervous. After all, the Zhong family couldn't climb higher than the current Li family. If the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good, daughters will inevitably suffer when they marry.

After the engagement banquet, the man's relatives and friends should leave, and the woman has already prepared a return gift. Father Zhong did not accept all the dowry money from the Li family, but only a small part, and the rest of the gift money was handed over to the matchmaker Ma Lao together with other gifts.

"Your father-in-law loves his daughter very much, but he is a hard-hearted person who takes money lightly!" Ma Lin smiled at Li Xuan in the car~www.readwn.com~ and handed him the red envelope with the gift money.

This time, the Li family paid 28.88 million Hong Kong dollars as a dowry, which was much higher than the 10 million yuan that caused a sensation in Hong Kong when the Huo family asked Hong Kong sister Zhu Lingling three years ago. Even if all the money was in 1000-yuan bills, 288 bundles would be needed. Naturally, Li Xuan would not be like a nouveau riche holding a pile of banknotes to ask for relatives. That would be too stupid.

He wrote several HSBC cheques in cash and packed them in red packets. That's right, not a check of 28.88 million, but divided into one 80,000, one 800,000, one 8 million and two 10 million, a total of 5 checks.

As a matchmaker, Ma Lao naturally knew the amount of gift money packaged by the Li family. It is justifiable for the Zhong family to accept the dowry, but such a huge gift is inevitably suspected of selling their daughter. As a result, Father Zhong received only a fraction of the 80,000 gift, and all the remaining checks were returned.

This made Zhong Chuhong more confident after marrying into the Li family. The Zhong family did not marry for the sake of money. Just in the face of the huge sum of 28.88 million, it takes a lot of mind to be unmoved.

Li Xuan smiled indifferently. Since he has married someone's precious daughter, he will naturally not treat his future father-in-law and mother-in-law badly. (To be continued..)
