Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong
Chapter 762: The world is big and the charity is the biggest!
"Pitkin, is this really okay? Will anyone join me for dinner and bid?"
In the tenement building, Rockefeller, who goes by the pseudonym "Wang Fugui", flipped through the newspaper advertisement about him and consulted Shi Zhijian with some indecision.
For Rockefeller, this "dinner auction" was a whimsical, even a little fanciful.
Although he is an American financial tycoon and one of the top ten richest people in the world, he really doesn't know whether his influence will be that great, and whether anyone will bid for a meal with him. If no one bids for the auction, wouldn't you be embarrassed?
The female secretary, Catherine, also felt that Shi Zhijian's "saucy idea" was a little nonsense.
Shi Zhijian explained with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Locke. This plan is sure to win and not lose."
"What's the meaning of this?"
"First of all, I have arranged for people to bid from the reserve price, and there are not only one, but three, namely Chairman Li Fuzhao of Far East Securities, Mr. Xu Shixun, head of Hong Kong Xu's Construction Company, and Mr. Huo Zhenting, Deputy General Manager of Hong Kong Fok Group. The three of them are a perfect match for this bid, both in terms of status and status."
Hearing that Shi Zhijian had arranged for "child care", Mr. Rockefeller was stunned for a moment, then nodded in relief, "That's good! It's not that I'm guilty, it would be a shame if no one bids!"
"In addition, we also stated in the advertisement that the proceeds from this auction will be used for the charity project of the Hong Kong Rockwell Charity Foundation to help the disabled children and the homeless. It can be said to be a charitable act! People can also use this opportunity to show their generosity to charitable causes, thereby establishing a good social image."
"That's right! We're not greedy for money, we're doing charity! The world is huge, and charity is the greatest! This has always been the belief that I, Wang Fugui, have upheld!" Rockefeller nodded in affirmation of Shi Zhijian's arrangement.
"Finally and most importantly, we Chinese people have always said that we must have a teacher in a three-person walk, and it is better to listen to your words than to read ten years of books! If you are fortunate enough to have dinner with you, Mr. Locke, I will personally get your business investment advice. Guidance and hearing, that will benefit immensely!"
Shi Zhijian's flattery patted the snow without a trace. Rockefeller was happy to hear it, and his heart was filled with joy. The more he looked at Shi Zhijian, the more pleasing he felt, this is a very good young man!
Catherine could hear clearly next to her. At first, she was a little disdainful of Shi Zhijian's words, thinking that he was making things up. It makes sense, it's a perfect plan!
Who is this Shi Zhijian? How could you come up with such a brilliant idea? Catherine was surprised.
Rockefeller was also amazed. He has always considered himself shrewd, but compared with the young man Shi Zhijian, he was ashamed!
In the face of Rockefeller's praise, Shi Zhijian certainly would not be proud. In his view, auctions and dining with the rich were just routine operations in the previous life, and the person who led this wave was the "stock god" Buffett in the previous life.
The "Dinner with Buffett" charity auction began in 2000 in the last life, and all the proceeds from the auction were donated to the Glide Foundation, a charity in San Francisco, to help the local poor and homeless.
Back then, Buffett's lunch was so hot that it was even auctioned for sky-high prices. Many people queued up to pay a high price just to have a meal with Buffett. In fact, you won't learn much in just one meal. What's the point of Buffett's lunch?
First of all, it has a certain charitable value and can give people a good impression. Secondly, having lunch with Buffett is also a means of self-promotion. Of course, the most important thing is that it is very possible that you may get some unique insights from Buffett during the meal.
Now Shi Zhijian has followed the steps, copying "Lunch with Buffett" and placing it on Rockefeller, which is not inconsistent, and even more gimmicky. After all, Rockefeller's wealth, family background, and strong background are among the best in this era.
Conversely, the Hong Kongers of this era are more vain and pompous than the investors of the last generation, and making them bid for dinner with Rockefeller will do more with less.
"Also, Mr. Rockefeller! You can't live here anymore." Shi Zhijian continued to say to Rockefeller.
"why?"
"You think, since the advertisement is out, you need to pack your old man's house, at least the food, clothing, housing, and transportation should be of a higher grade, so as to match your status as a billionaire and attract those bidders. Enter the auction!"
Rockefeller pointed at Shi Zhijian and said with a smile: "You don't need to say this, I understand! Is the famous brand effect right? I will move to the best hotel in Hong Kong and pack myself completely! Don't worry about this, dear Pittjian ."
"That's very good!" Shi Zhijian said, then turned to look at Catherine and said, "I have arranged for Mr. Locke to be in the presidential suite of the Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel, and I will accompany you there later! Also, I need you to take care of you in the past two days. Take care of Mr. Locke and prevent outsiders from approaching, do you understand?"
Shi Zhijian said these words in a commanding tone. Catherine couldn't accept it at first, but under Shi Zhijian's bright eyes, she had to learn to accept it.
For her, besides Mr. Rockefeller, Shi Zhijian was the second person who dared to order her to do things, and made it impossible for her to refuse.
...
When Shi Zhijian arranged Rockefeller into the Kowloon Peninsula Hotel, it was almost six o'clock in the evening.
Shi Zhijian also told Ding Yongqiang and Ren Darong who were protecting Rockefeller: "These two days are especially critical. Please take your time. Except me, don't let Mr. Locke contact anyone."
"Understood! Ah Jian, don't worry!" Ding Yongqiang patted his chest and assured, "As long as I am here, not even a fly will fly in!"
Shi Zhijian looked at Ren Darong again.
Ren Darong said: "You can rest assured that I do things! Although Brother Qiang and I are competitors this time, we are serious in doing things and will never hold back!"
Shi Zhijian was relieved. What he was most afraid of was the discord between Ding Yongqiang and Ren Darong, which would easily make loopholes and be taken advantage of.
Just imagine, if someone took the opportunity to meet Rockefeller alone, the news would lead to a significant reduction in the value of the dinner auction.
Since you can see Rockefeller in private, ghosts still participate in such expensive auctions!
...
Shi Zhijian returned to the Tanglou after his work, only to realize that he was very hungry, but fortunately the old sister Shi Yufeng left a meal for him.
"Ajian, it's strange for you to say that, when the ghost guy Wang Fugui stayed here, I wished him to leave. After he left, he felt that the house was deserted!" Shi Yufeng poured a glass of water and sat down at the dining table.
On the opposite side, Shi Zhijian, who is a slender man, is making a big gulp with his rice bowl in his mouth.
Shi Zhijian held chopsticks and pulled the rice and fresh fish in the bowl, his cheeks bulging.
He raised his head and smiled at Shi Yufeng, then stretched his neck and finally swallowed the food in his mouth.
In Shi Yufeng's eyes, Shi Zhijian's eating appearance is to be scolded, like the reincarnation of a starving ghost, all learned from that stupid strong, no one!
"Anyway, you are also a person of status and status. If you can eat something gentle, you will be laughed at outside!" Shi Yufeng handed a glass of water to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian took a sip of the water, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then smiled: "You also said that you want to be gentle outside. This is home, and there is no one else but you, who is gentle for you?
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he continued to use his chopsticks to be his own "dry man". A large plate of fish and a large bowl of rice quickly disappeared.
For some reason, Shi Yufeng suddenly felt very happy when she saw Shi Zhijian eat like this. It was the same way before. She kept meals for him, and when he came back from the police academy, he devoured it.
Soon after the bowl of rice bottomed out, Shi Zhijian pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth: "I'm full!"
no response.
Looking at him again, the old sister Shi Yufeng was looking at him with her chin on her back, without blinking her eyes, she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Hey, old lady! What are you doing? You are too imaginary?" Shi Zhijian stretched out his hand and shook a few times in front of Shi Yufeng.
"You bastard!" Shi Yufeng stretched out his hand to open the slender man's hand, got up to clean up the tableware and said: "No seriousness all day! I really don't know how that Wang Fugui would listen to you, what kind of dinner auction! In case it messes up , he doesn't even have a place to cry!"
"Wow, old lady, you care so much about Mr. Wang Fugui! Didn't you scold him as a ghost old man before?"
"Ahem, that's because I have less contact with him! Then again, this old man is not bad, he's much better than Deng Jiugong who likes to eat and drink for free!" Shi Yufeng packed the dishes and went to the kitchen.
Xu Yu came out and said, "At the very least, you gave me ten thousand dollars when I left, saying that it was the cost of room and board for the past few days!"
"Uh, ten thousand dollars? You took it!" Shi Zhijian looked at his elder sister Shi Yufeng in surprise.
"Of course I can't accept it!" Shi Yufeng picked up the rag and wiped the table. "Although I am greedy for money, I also know what it is. It's not a good thing to have friends from afar! If you take money from others, you will die!"
Shi Zhijian breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for confiscating it!"
Shi Yufeng heard that the slender man's tone was wrong, and couldn't help but raised his head and asked, "Why?"
"Because it's an investment!"
"invest?"
"Yeah!" Shi Zhijian stood up and loosened the belt. He had eaten too much and the belt was too tight. "If you charge 10,000 dollars, then I may lose 100,000 or even a million dollars in the future!"
Shi Yufeng was startled, "Is it that big?"
Shi Zhijian smiled, "Of course there is! Everything in this world has a price, but human favors are priceless! It's not that Chinese people pay attention to etiquette and respect foreigners, and they will pay back what they owe—the same goes for Americans!"
Shi Yufeng seemed to understand, but suddenly said again: "You better stop worrying about your debts! What about the auction you helped Wang Fugui do? If no one is hooked, you sell it to a ghost?"
Shi Zhijian picked up the toothpick holder and knocked out a toothpick and put it in his mouth: "Don't worry, if I guessed right, someone has already started to act!"
...
"Wow! Ah Jian played too much this time! Who has heard of the auction of the rich's dinner? It's almost the same as the auction of God's Last Supper!"
In the rich nightclub, Xu Sanshao was drinking beer and said to Huo Dashao and Su Diwen, the son-in-law of the charter king.
Huo Shao grabbed a handful of pistachios and threw it into his mouth with a smile: "You only know now that Ah Jian is a man. He is notoriously cunning! What kind of crazy idea can't you think of?"
Sudivin was mature and prudent, took a small Budweiser beer and took a sip from the mouth of the bottle, raised his head and said meaningfully: "He asked you two to be childcare?"
"Uh, how do you know?" Huo Shao stopped chewing pistachios and looked at Sudivin in surprise.
"Yeah, did A Jian also let you be a nurse?" Xu Sanshao also looked at each other with a surprised expression.
Sudivine shook his head: "No! My relationship with him has not reached that level. In fact, I am so envious of you!" Sudivin said, picking up a cashew nut and putting it into his mouth very gently He chewed slowly and said, "He has nothing to do with you, and there is still a gap between him and me."
"Cough, that's why you don't come out to play with us often!" Huo Shao had a good heart, so he was busy looking for excuses to comfort Su Diwen because he thought too much.
"Yes, every time you go out to play, you run away first! It's not that your wife waits at home for a long time, or that your father-in-law won't let you go home too late! How can we all be so happy when you are like this? How can we communicate with you in depth? "Xu Sanshao was busy beside him and echoed.
Sudivin smiled, "I only said one sentence, but you have said so much! Now I know why I have to run away so early, my ears are not quiet at all!"
"Halo! It turns out that you are all excuses, we are the culprit for you to leave early!"
"Wrong, you're the culprit, I'm not." Huo Shao corrected Xu Sanshao's words, "I treat Lao Su very well! It's because you drink too much alcohol that sometimes even I can't stand you!"
"Hey, it's not loyal enough for you to say that! It's not me who pays the bill when you come out to play? What's wrong with listening to me? Are you aggrieved? If you're aggrieved, I'll take out the single fee before tonight, we AA!" Xu Sanshao pretended to be angry.
Huo Shao immediately raised his hand to surrender, and said with a hilarious smile, "I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously!"
When Su Diwen saw Xu Huo and the two sang together, he couldn't help smiling, especially Huo Dashao, who was originally a very dull person. are red.
For some reason~www.readwn.com~ Su Diwen envy Xu Huo two people, at least they and Shi Zhijian are very happy together, they can let go of themselves, no longer pretend, hold, and wear masks.
But he can't.
First of all, he is not a pure Chinese, he is a ghost.
Secondly, he is a family member. According to Chinese tradition, he actually has no family status. On the surface, he is more than 10,000 people under one person of the Bao Group. In fact, it is the king of charter ships who is in charge of power. He is only an assistant.
The only thing he can do now is to do his duty well and wait for the charter king to abdicate and make way for the wise.
Just when Su Diwen was thinking about it, Xu Sanshao suddenly said: "Actually, this is also an opportunity! You can bid for it, Lao Su!"
"Yeah, although we are nurses, this opportunity is really rare. In fact, we really want to have a meal with that Rockefeller! You think, as long as we eat together, the whole Xiangjiang will be popular the next day. People don't know you can do it! Besides, this is also doing charity in disguise, killing two birds with one stone, how wonderful!"
Hearing what the two of them said, Su Diwen couldn't help but be moved, "Then how much should I bid?"
"We trust at most 300,000 yuan, and you'll be OK if you invest 310,000 yuan!" Xu Sanshao said, "At that time, no one will argue with you, and you can swagger and join the Rockefeller at the Peninsula Hotel. dinner!"
"Yeah, when you become famous and look at your father-in-law, will you dare to look down on you? Even at home, you can speak loudly without being frightened by your wife! The most important thing is that this is for charity, and no one will take you. There's no way! How can you say that, charity is the greatest!" Huo Shao also encouraged him.
Sudivine's eyes flickered a few times, "Yes! I voted for this dinner!"
