Chapter 138 Charity and Public Offering
Once the Lantern Festival is over, the Spring Festival is over.
The male protagonist of the "Toothpick Gate" incident, Xu Jinheng, also fled Hong Kong in disgrace and went back to the United States.
This label was not given by Oriental Daily.
Rather, it was a headline that some tabloids that continued to follow up on the Xu Jinheng nude photo incident deliberately came up with to attract attention.
I can only say that when it comes to insulting people, editors are always the best.
It’s no wonder that newspaper stories with “Toothpick Gate” headlines did sell quite well.
Hong Kong people's love of joining in the fun and watching jokes may be the most prominent among the Chinese.
In fact, everyone has seen the photos exposed by Oriental Daily.
It is really insulting to call it a toothpick. It is just slightly smaller than the normal size.
But Hong Kong citizens still want to see how these tabloids portray the rich and famous.
It can be said that Xu Jinheng will never be able to escape the nightmare of the nickname "Toothpick" in his entire life.
He and the Xu family became a joke in Hong Kong and Macau, and the direct consequence was that
Almost all the families that originally wanted to marry into the Xu family changed their minds after this incident.
Although Mr. He was obsessed with Mr. Fang, he had long since stopped considering other young talents as his ideal "son-in-law".
But when he saw the news about the Xu family in Macau, he shook his head.
What I thought in my mind was that my children would not be able to have any contact with such people in the future, not even to make friends with them.
Young Master Xu was played badly by Mr. Fang, the richest man, and Mr. Liu, and he will never be able to hold his head up in this life.
The instigator, Fang Hexuan, still managed to keep up with his work, life and sex with the beautiful Gaocang.
However, he also learned a lesson from the "bloody case" of secretly photographing Xu Jinheng -
If you really want to play with women, it’s safest and most reassuring to do it in your own territory.
Therefore, after completing the transaction with Cucumber,
He obtained the property rights of the Hilton Hotel, Liancheng Building, Zhonghui Building, Lijing Building, Global Building, Haifu Center and Bank of China.
Wanda and its own headquarters have moved to the Global Building.
Later, Fang Hexuan also wanted to move Oriental Daily and South China Morning Post to his own territory to work.
Miki Takakura left the Peninsula Hotel and stayed at the Hilton Hotel.
In the future, he will try to hold his family or company gatherings at Hilton.
Although this hotel will be demolished in the future, we can at least put up with it for a few years.
Thinking that there might not be any top hotels available to me in the future,
Fang Hexuan started to have evil ideas again, but that’s a story for later.
Although the Hilton Hotel is not as luxurious as the Peninsula, it provides privacy and security.
Therefore, apart from occasionally visiting his mother and sister at 12 Barker Road, Fang Hexuan almost regarded Hilton as his second home.
He would come back here almost every night and have fun with the beautiful lady Gaocang.
On February 2, something happened in Hong Kong that was neither big nor small but attracted the attention of many people.
On that day, a huge fire broke out in the wooden house area of Tai Hom Wo Village, Diamond Hill, Wong Tai Sin District, Kowloon, burning down 600 houses.
7390 people were left homeless.
Fang Hexuan was also deeply saddened when he saw the news the next day.
After all, he comes from the mainland in the later era, and is more sensitive to the gap between the rich and the poor and class inequality than the average Hong Kong person.
Rich people in Hong Kong like him can spend hundreds of millions to build island estates.
But those poor people at the bottom of society may have no place to stand.
Hong Kong's shantytowns have always been a matter of great concern to the community. From the Shek Kip Mei fire in 1953 to today, shantytown fires occur almost every few years.
Most of the people living in the shantytowns fled to Hong Kong from the mainland in the early days.
They have no money and no social connections, are discriminated against by the locals, and their lives have always been in difficulty.
It cannot be said that the Hong Kong government has not taken action, but Hong Kong is a capitalist society after all, and there is no need to alleviate poverty.
The Hong Kong government is already slowly transforming shanty towns across Hong Kong, but this will take a long time to complete.
All Fang Hexuan could do was donate money. He still cared a lot about his reputation as the richest man.
You can be romantic, but you can’t be as immoral as a cucumber.
On the 28th, Fang Hexuan announced through Oriental Daily and South China Morning Post that he would donate 3000 million Hong Kong dollars.
Assist these thousands of victims to rebuild their homes after the fire.
The Hong Kong Housing Department immediately followed up and thanked Mr. Fang for his generosity and kindness.
The government agency will be responsible for rebuilding a new village for disaster victims in Tai Hom Wo Village in Diamond Hill.
Therefore, they naturally attach great importance to assistance from society.
Seeing this, other wealthy people in Hong Kong also donated money.
Fang Hexuan had a feeling that these wealthy people in Hong Kong seemed to be waiting for him to express his opinion first, and then decide how to act.
This is the burden of being the richest man!

Fa Yuen Street, Mong Kok.
The street extends from Boundary Street in the north to Dundas Street in the south, paralleling streets such as Tung Choi Street and Sai Yee Street.
The entire street is about 150 meters long and has dozens of shops selling sports shoes and sporting goods, so it is also called Sneakers Street.
In the middle of this short 100-meter-long street, a new store called "Felix Sports" has opened.
This store is very large, five or six times larger than other stores, and is the largest store on this street.
It is not only large, but also extremely luxurious and avant-garde in decoration, with a futuristic sense of technology.
In fact, Felix Company bought five or six adjacent shops on this street half a year ago.
Then, the designer connected all the stores as required by the contract, turning them into a super store with an area of more than 500 square meters.
Even in 1981, every inch of land on Sneaker Street was worth a lot of money.
Being able to open a store of such a large area is enough to shock and intrigue the customers coming and going.
During the renovation, the entire store was cordoned off, so even colleagues on the same street had no idea what was going on inside.
The sporting goods store, which covers an area of more than 500 square meters, does not appear crowded or messy, although almost every corner is fully utilized.
Walking into the store, the interior decoration is mainly silver-gray, with some bright orange, and a lot of spotlights to create an atmosphere.
The overall feeling given to customers is very comfortable and at the same time high-end.
The decorative materials inside, including shoe racks and counters, are mainly simple, without complicated designs.
The floor is paved with marble that is similar to obsidian but very smooth.
Walking through the entire store, you'll feel like you've entered a cyberpunk world.
Of course, the unique decoration of the store is secondary. When customers enter the store, they mainly look at the products.
The main products of Felix Sporting Goods Store currently include Air Force One sneakers, basketball uniforms, football uniforms and volleyball uniforms designed specifically for women's volleyball teams.
Just in terms of sneakers, there are about thirty or forty kinds of shoes with similar styles but different colors and logo styles on the open shoe racks on several walls.
One look and you won't be able to take your eyes away.
Thanks to Qingshan Shoes for the recommendation!
