Chapter 424: When one party is in trouble, all parties support it
At ten o'clock in the morning, spontaneous tourists and invited guests entered the venue one after another, and the charity performance began.
The stage decoration was very simple, with a makeshift steel frame, only a red carpet, and the speakers were all exposed.
Zheng Yaoyang, who had disappeared for a long time, wore a uniform white T-shirt and walked onto the stage hand in hand with Zhou Xiaolin.
“When one side is in trouble, support from all sides will come!”
"Compatriots in both places are one family."
Zheng Yaoyang talked about the disaster in East China and made a promise. No matter how much money is raised this time, he will raise the same amount based on 100 million.
If 300 million yuan can be raised today, Zheng Yaoyang will donate 400 million yuan in his own name.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the venue. It was indeed a big deal, worthy of the title of Asia's richest man.
Some people who came to see the excitement couldn't help but feel a little moved. They all said that there is strength in numbers. As long as one person donates one hundred and eighty, Zheng Yaoyang will donate at least several hundred million.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from the VIP table: "Yaoyang, have you thought clearly, there is no upper limit?"
"There is definitely no upper limit. If you want me to go bankrupt, you can use your strength."
Zheng Yaoyang raised his eyebrows, and he knew it was Li Jiacheng's voice. He smiled and said, "Old Li, don't be so secretive. Since you are talking to me, you should set an example for everyone."
"Do I need to hide? You are talking about yourself!"
Li Jiacheng walked to the stands outside, and the cameraman at the venue also pointed the camera at him at the right time.
Li Jiacheng smiled lightly and said: "No problem, our Changshi Group will donate 50 million!"
"Xu~~~"
Before Zheng Yaoyang could speak, the people in the auditorium who were watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously started shouting.
Fifty million Hong Kong dollars is a lot, indeed a lot, but Lao He and Lao Huo spent 100 million.
Including Zheng Yaoyang, he also promised just now that there will be no upper limit based on the amount raised based on 100 million.
In comparison, Li Jiacheng is one of the first entrepreneurs in Hong Kong, and donating 50 million is a bit petty.
Zheng Yaoyang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, with a playful smile on his face: "Old Li, I didn't say anything. These are the voices of the people."
Li Jiacheng looked ugly and found a way for himself: "I haven't even finished what I said, so what's the hurry? I quite like Jackie Chan. One million for a fight. On the basis of 50 million, there is no upper limit."
"Li Sheng, you are really awesome!"
Zheng Yaoyang smiled broadly, gave a thumbs up, and shouted to the backstage: "Brother Long, come up to pick up the guests."
Her charming tone was like that of a brothel madam in ancient times, which aroused everyone's astonishment, and then they all burst into laughter.
Even Li Jiacheng, who was put on stage by Zheng Yaoyang, had to admire him in his heart.
This is not to act ugly or to please others, but to reach a state where laughter, anger and curses are all from the heart.
If a person does not have enough strength and social status, he will not be able to stand up to this.
Li Jiacheng asked himself, he couldn't do it.
Jackie Chan hurriedly came on stage after hearing this. Zheng Yaoyang explained the situation with a smile: "Brother Long, you can turn over as many turns as you can. Li Sheng has a lot of money, so there is no need to save for him."
Jackie Chan understood, raised his hands and smiled: "Then let me first mention the people in the disaster area and thank Li Sheng for his generous donation."
He was not ambiguous, after all, there were tens of thousands of people watching, and there was a TV station broadcasting it live.
Jackie Chan took off his shirt directly, revealing his strong abdominal muscles. Zheng Yaoyang followed him and helped him count.
After turning twelve somersaults in one breath, Zheng Yaoyang touched his chin: "Twelve million, I feel a bit small."
Li Jiacheng's face was already very dark, but he forced a smile and joked: "Zheng Sheng, how about you do it, five million each?"
"Zheng Sheng, you come too!"
"I can bear this, but I can't bear it."
The air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the atmosphere at the scene gradually became more intense.
After all, it’s a rare occasion in a century for big bosses to quarrel with each other in public, and it’s a feast for the eyes of the masses.
"Don't make fools of yourself. I want to do it, but I've been weak since I was young and can't do it at all."
Zheng Yaoyang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He often walked by the river without getting his shoes wet. Li Jiacheng was a bad guy. He defected to HSBC last time and failed to settle the score with him, so he was dealt with again.
Jackie Chan has a very high emotional intelligence and said with a smile: "Boss, I'll turn it over for you. How about you pay for Li Sheng?"
Zheng Yaoyang was greatly comforted and said with a hearty smile: "It's not impossible. One is five million. Brother Long, you can turn it over as much as you can. I'll pay the extra money."
Jackie Chan turned over two more times, then lay on the ground with a begging expression on his face: "Don't just stare at me, I can't turn over anymore."
It was a perfect scene that successfully aroused the emotions of all the guests. Many rich women even directly shouted out, asking Zhang Weijian and Aaron Kwok to choose a striptease for them.
Zhou Xiaolin on the side couldn't help but remind: "Zheng Sheng, don't forget, we haven't finished our opening remarks yet."
Zheng Yaoyang was stunned: "What's the opening statement? Why does it feel like it's been so long?"
Zhou Xiaolin was helpless. She really didn't like speaking on the same stage as Zheng Yaoyang because he always changed the topic.
Next, Zhou Xiaolin had no choice but to succinctly explain that the Universal Group would donate 50 million to charity and invest 20 million to shoot a movie.
All proceeds from this film project, including those owned by Universal Theaters, will not take a penny, and all box office will be donated to the disaster-stricken areas in East China.
All in all, depending on the total box office of the movie, Universal Group will donate an amount of charity on top of 50 million.
Zheng Yaoyang chatted: "I heard that you also want to write a role for me?"
Zhou Xiaolin said: "The name of the movie is "The Banquet of the Rich", and you, Zheng Sheng, starred in it in your true colors."
"True color? How many colors?"
"Playboy, are you satisfied?"
"It does sound similar."
The two finished the opening speech, followed by a ten-hour cultural performance and fund-raising.
Li Jiacheng's reward was a good start, Jackie Chan's performance was also outstanding, and various artists participating in the performance promoted their talents.
For example, Andy Lau performed a performance in which his chest was broken by a large rock, and others such as Stephen Chow, Ng Meng, Leslie Cheung and others lay on the ground as a human wall, and asked Ke Shouliang to ride a motorcycle and jump over the human wall.
Big-name artists such as Jackie Chan and Anita Mui walk around the auditorium holding donation boxes in their spare time, calling on online and offline audiences to donate.
Everyone gives up their pretense of being a celebrity just to help raise more donations for the mainland.
Around noon, Mainland China's CCTV learned of the news and sent someone to apply to broadcast the charity show.
Not only that, but at seven o'clock in the evening, CCTV abandoned its usual news broadcast so that it could broadcast the actual performance live for a full twenty minutes without any restrictions.
Hundreds of thousands of compatriots in the Mainland have also seen those glamorous celebrities and entertainers in the past put down their airs and shed sweat and tears just to raise more donations.
A strange emotion arose in everyone. The compatriots who had been away from home for more than a hundred years have always been a family with broken bones and connected tendons.
The charity performance lasted until ten o'clock in the evening. After twelve hours of live broadcast and program performances, everyone was exhausted.
As the show was coming to an end, Zhou Xiaolin and Zheng Yaoyang once again walked onto the stage hand in hand to inform countless long-awaited audiences about the situation of today's fundraising.
A total of HK$941.34 million was raised throughout the day, and Zheng Yaoyang kept his promise and donated HK$1.04134 billion in his own name.
A single person has donated more than 100 million US dollars to charity, which is also the largest in the world. It is completely different from the tax avoidance methods used by foreigners.
Because at the end of the charity performance, Zheng Yaoyang invited President Wu of the Bank of China to the stage.
Witnessed by millions of people in Hong Kong, a check worth HK$1.98268 billion was handed over in person.
