Zhou Qiyao is also a well-known rich man in Hong Kong. Of course he cannot be compared with the real wealthy businessmen such as He Hongsen and Lin Boxin, but he is still better than him. He was invited by Run Run Shaw.
Originally, because of Zhou Zhiyi's incident, Zhou Qiyao was not in the mood to attend this charity party, but he thought that all the people attending this party were either rich or noble. If he wanted to use the SAR government to get Zhou Zhiyi out of prison, he would have to do so.
With the help of these high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, they came excitedly to participate and brought their son Zhou Lipo and daughter-in-law Liu Shuyi with them.
"Dad, Sir Shao's reputation is really great. You see, many rich people from Hong Kong are here. Even the two brothers, Director Zeng, participated on behalf of the government." Zhou Lipo, who is in his forties and looks good, looked around.
At the venue, I met those powerful figures in the business world and those who hold power in the political world.
Next to him, Liu Shuyi, who is over forty but still has her charm, also said: "Dad, if we can ask Sir Shao for help, the SAR government should allow us to let the mainland release Zhiyi."
She was Zhou Zhiyi's mother. She had been obedient to Zhou Zhiyi since she was a child, and felt most sorry for her son. When Zhou Qiyao told her that Zhou Zhiyi had been sentenced in Xiangcheng on the day he returned to Hong Kong, she fainted on the spot.
Zhou Qiyao looked towards Run Run Shao who was being supported by several TVB bosses and beauties in the distance. He frowned and said, "That old ghost Run Run Shao has always been unprofitable and can't help us early. He will never help us for no reason. Let alone us."
He's a toy maker, and he doesn't have any cooperation projects with us, so it's unlikely that he'll agree."
"What about Director Zeng?" Liu Shuyi didn't give up: "Director Zeng is the most popular candidate for the number one brother in the police community. He is also a member of the police community. He should be able to have a few words with the domestic police officers. Let's
How about he help? Just say that our family Zhiyi is a Hong Kong resident and should be transferred back to Hong Kong."
Zhou Lipo shook his head and sighed: "This is even more impossible. We have no friendship with the Zeng family, and the Zhiyi incident has become a big deal. Even the central government has asked local governments to re-examine their attitudes towards foreign businessmen. Zhiyi is also in a
At the cusp of this storm, you also said that Director Zeng was going to compete for the position of Director, so how could he make himself angry at this critical moment?"
"Then what should we do? Do we just do nothing and let Zhiyi stay and suffer in the mainland's prisons? Prisons in the mainland are much darker than ours in Hong Kong. I heard that the prisoners inside are often beaten by the cell boss and
The prison guards tortured her to death, how could we Zhiyi endure such suffering?" Liu Shuyi said anxiously, almost ready to cry.
Zhou Lipo glared at her: "You are in public here, so don't embarrass our family by crying!"
Zhou Zhiyi was his son, so why didn't he care about it, but according to Zhou Qiyao, Zhou Zhiyi was so unlucky this time that a small traffic accident actually caused a stir in the whole country, so that no one dared to stand up for him.
Just now, he and Zhou Qiyao went to find a wealthy and senior official with whom they had a good relationship. They wanted him to
We are here to help, but because of this domestic turmoil, the attitudes of local governments towards Hong Kong businessmen have quietly changed. Many wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong who have invested in China have suffered a lot, so they hate Zhou Qiyao and even
The entire Zhou family was disturbed, and their father and son were exposed to all the warmth and coldness of human kindness.
Zhou Qiyao took a long breath and said lonely: "The worst plan is to wait a year or two for this storm to subside before trying to find a way to get Zhiyi out."
"Yes, but it's hard to be in prison even for a day, let alone a year or two?" Liu Shuyi said: "Zhiyi has a cold background, how can he stand the food in prison?"
"That's enough!" Zhou Lipo lowered his voice and scolded his wife: "Is it useful for you to cry here? If you continue to do this, go home. Don't embarrass our Zhou family here. It's not okay.
Isn’t our family troubled enough?”
Upon hearing Zhou Lipo's scolding, Liu Shuyi quickly held back her tears, lowered her head and did not dare to speak out.
At this time, Zhou Qiyao accidentally saw Zhou Hao in the distance with Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing. It was different from when he was in Xiangcheng. Today, Zhou Hao was dressed in suits and ties and was elegant. He didn't look like a middle school student in any way, and even looked better than those in the venue.
Those young men were more generous, decent and noble. At first Zhou Qiyao thought he had made a mistake. After rubbing his eyes and looking carefully, he was sure that it was indeed Zhou Hao.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Zhou Lipo asked after noticing something strange about Zhou Qiyao.
"That person over there seems to be Zhou Hao."
"Zhou Hao? Oh, he is that Zhou Liren's son?" Zhou Lipo smiled: "It seems to be my cousin. Huh? Wait, why is that Zhou Hao here? Dad, you read that right.
?”
Zhou Lipo has never met Zhou Hao, and he has never paid attention to those relatives in China who have no contact with him. His own sense of superiority makes him feel that he and those so-called relatives are people from two completely different worlds.
.As for today’s charity party, all the invited guests are rich or noble. Zhou Hao is just an ordinary person in China, how could he show up?
Zhou Qiyao glanced at his son: "Although I am old, I don't have the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease." His eyes returned to Zhou Hao and said to himself: "But of the two women around him, among them
One seems to be a very famous singer recently, and the other one looks very familiar, um, I seem to have seen him somewhere."
At this time, Liu Shuyi spoke: "I recognize her. Her name is Su Lin. She seems to be from Hangzhou. She is the current CEO of Asia Television. It was she who led ATV to defeat Wireless without any power to fight back. Those magazines said that she
She is the new generation queen of the Hong Kong television industry after her sixth aunt Fong Yat Wa."
"The CEO of ATV?" Zhou Qiyao and Zhou Lipo both looked puzzled.
When Asia Television was acquired, the whole of Hong Kong was in an uproar. Neither Zhou Qiyao nor Zhou Lipo were the kind of upright and honest men. Naturally, they were not immune to the common problem of rich people - lust. They had also supported some female stars, and they were very interested in Hong Kong.
The entertainment industry has some understanding, so even though they have no business in the media industry, they still pay attention to some news.
The TVB female artist Zhou Lipo is currently supporting has told him more than once that she wants to switch to ATV. She has also contacted people from ATV in private, but people know that she has a bad reputation, so they have not agreed to switch to ATV. She also
Let Zhou Lipo help her through the back door and let her enter ATV.
Later, Zhou Lipo did find one of the top executives of ATV, but to his surprise, the ATV staff who used to be respectful and responsive to wealthy people like them have now become hardened, saying that everything at ATV is now
We have to talk about systems and rules, and we can no longer do things like relying on connections to go through the back door.
Zhou Lipo originally thought that the man was deliberately perfunctory, but soon after, ATV took several management personnel who betrayed the company's interests and were suspected of commercial crimes to court and sent them to prison, including that man. Zhou Lipo
Only then did Po realize that the current boss of ATV was completely different from Lin Boxin in the past. He was very ruthless and cruel, and managed the employees below him to be submissive.
"How did the CEO of ATV get together with Zhou Liren's son? Did they know each other before?" Zhou Lipo asked doubtfully. He didn't know Zhou Hao at all. The only thing he knew was what Zhou Qiyao said about Zhou Hao.
Zhou Liren's son.
"There's no point in guessing here, let's go over and take a look." Zhou Qiyao narrowed his eyes and walked over first.
When they approached Zhou Hao, Zhou Qiyao and the others happened to hear William say that Liang Xiaobing's necklace was worth 20 to 30 million US dollars, and it seemed to be a gift from Zhou Hao.
Although Zhou Qiyao is a rich man with a net worth of 2 billion, it is not easy to sell tens of millions of dollars of jewelry, let alone Zhou Hao, who he has never paid attention to?
When Liu Shuyi heard William's words, she subconsciously reached out to cover the pearl necklace on her neck. Her pearl necklace is a piece of jewelry produced by "Cartier" and is worth three million U.S. dollars, but it is already the best she has.
It's jewelry. I wore it today because I was attending this charity gala where celebrities gathered.
"Uncle, are you also invited to attend this charity party?"
Zhou Hao's words brought Zhou Qiyao and the other two people back to their senses, and they saw Su Lin, Liang Xiaobing, Jonathan William and others looking at them. Zhou Qiyao raised his head slightly and said in the tone of an elder: "Yes.
, I have to attend charity galas like this two or three times a month. I didn’t want to come in person, but Sir Shao called me personally, so I had to show my appreciation. What about you, when did you come to Hong Kong? Why don’t you come with us?
Would you like to visit there?"
In fact, Run Run Shaw didn't call him personally at all. For a wealthy businessman like Zhou Qiyao, Run Run Shaw just sent an invitation. Zhou Qiyao expected that Zhou Hao would not really be able to talk to a wealthy businessman like Run Run Shaw.
, so he deliberately exaggerated his status in the eyes of Run Run Shaw.
Zhou Hao smiled and said: "I came here just the day before yesterday, and I was planning to visit my uncle and you in the next two days. These two must be my cousin and aunt, hello."
Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing next to them saw that these three were Zhou Hao's elders, so they quickly greeted them as if they were juniors.
As a member of the socialite circle in Hong Kong, does Liu Shuyi know the status of Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing? Not to mention Su Lin, the new generation of TV queen, Liang Xiaobing also has a high status in the eyes of those socialites and ladies who think highly of themselves.
The other actresses are completely different.
Just when Zhou Qiyao wanted to say something to Zhou Hao, someone called Zhou Hao over there: "Xiao Hao, the party is about to start. Everyone is seated. Come over quickly."
Zhou Qiyao looked around and saw that the person calling Zhou Hao was actually Zeng Yingquan, whom he had not dared to talk to before!
