Chapter 429 Business Compliments
Hu Xiaoxiao, accustomed to the spotlight, was not affected at all and continued speaking, "Drinking water and remembering its source, as for the destination of the donation, we will divide it into two parts. One part will be donated to the Women and Children's Foundation to help the vulnerable groups in Baogang. This part will be done by Ms. Tan Yinglian."
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at Tan Yinglian and smiled. Tan Yinglian in the audience also laughed and said generously to everyone, "I am not afraid of hard work. I will be happy no matter how much money is donated. It is my duty and my honor to help more people."
Hu Xiaoxiao took this opportunity to list the charitable contributions of the Women and Children's Foundation this year. As a member of the Women and Children's Foundation, she used this opportunity to both promote the Foundation and encourage donations to help more people, and to explain to the audience, most of whom were donors to the Foundation, where the donations were being used.
Hu Xiaoxiao then explained where the remaining money would go. "I've decided to donate the rest back to mainland China to help build roads and schools. This decision is for my hometown. I hope to do my part to make it a better place. I'm also learning from my predecessors. I hope to contribute to our hometown and our homeland together."
People in Hong Kong, all of whom came from mainland China, are accustomed to donating money to their hometowns to build roads after they become successful. The audience took this for granted. Almost everyone present had donated money to their hometowns, and they fully understood Hu Xiaoxiao's approach.
As the time of return draws closer, more and more people are donating money to charity in their hometown.
After Hu Xiaoxiao finished talking about the box office donation, he began to announce another piece of news: Shengshi Entertainment plans to develop a new business and establish a visual effects subsidiary.
Although Hu Xiaoxiao had no ambitions to pursue a career in Hollywood, she had been learning about the industry. Hollywood's special effects were far superior to those in Hong Kong. She saw the future trends of filmmaking in Hollywood's special effects, and as a filmmaker, she wouldn't miss out on anything that would benefit the film industry.
In addition to the special effects subsidiary, Shengshi will also set up a record company. Hu Xiaoxiao said that she will release her first solo album next year and hold her first solo concert the year after.
Finally, Hu Xiaoxiao announced that Shengshi Entertainment will establish a new company in mainland China next year. However, he did not disclose the new company's business scope.
But all the new plans show the ambitions of Hu Xiaoxiao and Huang Yuliang, and also let everyone see Shengshi’s strong financial resources and immeasurable future.
After Hu Xiaoxiao announced a series of major development plans for the company, the guests, led by Huang Yuliang, once again gave warm applause.
Coming down from the podium, Hu Xiaoxiao took the red wine from the waiter's tray and began to greet the guests.
She first toasted to the hotel owner, Wansheng, "Today's banquet is so successful, thanks to Wansheng's support. Thank you, Wansheng. I toast to you."
Wansheng had changed into a formal suit today, looking remarkably gentlemanly. He elegantly clinked glasses with Hu Xiaoxiao and said with a smile, "We've been friends for so many years, so there's no need to be polite. Time flies! Before I knew it, you've reached your current position. Congratulations, Xiaoxiao."
"Everything is thanks to everyone's support, especially Wansheng, thank you very much." Hu Xiaoxiao said.
Wansheng had just listened to Hu Xiaoxiao's plan for Shengshi and was very interested in one of the details. "Just now you said you were going to open a new company in the mainland. What kind of business do you plan to do?"
"Wansheng is interested?"
"You, Hu Xiaoxiao, are famous for attracting wealth. I would like to get some of your wealth. Is that possible?" Wansheng said half-jokingly.
Hu Xiaoxiao said sincerely, "Of course, when doing business, the more friends you have, the better. When I need to develop new business in the future, I will definitely look for Wansheng first."
Hu Xiaoxiao and Huang Yuliang had already discussed their new mainland business ventures. Shenzhen, just across the border, was allowing residents from Hong Kong and Baoji to open cinemas, and Shengshi wanted to be the first to open its first Shengshi Cinema. Once they established a foothold in Shenzhen, they could expect other cities to gradually open their doors, allowing them to seize the opportunity and establish a truly Shengshi Cinema chain.
However, the market there was too large for Shengshi to take over. Furthermore, the regulations in the two places were different, and many industries did not allow foreign investment. After discussing with Huang Yuliang, she decided to find a reliable partner in Shenzhen and establish a joint venture to develop Shengshi Cinemas.
Shengshi hadn't yet decided on a future partner, so of course they couldn't discuss it with Wansheng in detail. However, Wansheng was financially strong and would definitely be a good partner if they needed investment in the future.
Wansheng had been in the business world for so many years that he naturally understood Hu Xiaoxiao's intentions. Similarly, when he came to ask Hu Xiaoxiao today, he knew he couldn't interfere with Shengshi's new company. After all, they had already made plans, and he had no part in them. His question to Hu Xiaoxiao was just a test of the waters, hoping that Hu Xiaoxiao would consider him if he wanted to invest in the future.
After receiving Hu Xiaoxiao's affirmative answer, Wansheng had achieved his goal.
After talking with Wansheng, Hu Xiaoxiao greeted a few old friends, and then saw Luo Cheng, chairman of Yihai Group, coming over with his wife.
That's right, the Yi Hai Gang has changed its name. After carving up a large piece of the Changxing Society, Luo Cheng immediately withdrew and established the Yi Hai Group. Luo Cheng, the former leader, is now the chairman, Luo Sheng.
"Xiaoxiao, you look very pretty today." Luo Cheng smiled before he even showed up.
"Mr. Luo looks very handsome and energetic tonight." Hu Xiaoxiao also praised him, and they complimented each other.
"Same here! Same here! We're all so excited." Luo Cheng brought his wife over and introduced her to Hu Xiaoxiao, saying, "This is my wife. She's also a fan of yours and especially loves watching your movies."
Mrs. Luo smiled, her smile very friendly. She was plump, and although middle-aged, her delicate features still showed the beauty of her youth, and her unique charm. "Hello, Miss Hu, I often hear my husband mention you. He admires you very much, and so do I. I have liked you since you started filming TV series. Also, the jewelry you are wearing is very beautiful and complements you very well."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mrs. Luo. I have admired Mrs. Luo for a long time. Mr. Luo and Mrs. Luo have a deep love for each other. Everyone in Baogang knows this. I have admired Mrs. Luo for a long time." Hu Xiaoxiao's smile deepened.
She has known Luo Cheng for several years, but Luo Cheng has never shown any intention of introducing his wife to her. It is conceivable that in Luo Cheng's mind, their relationship is just that, just an acquaintance.
Until today, she has achieved extraordinary success and ability, and Luo Cheng finally began to value her and Shengshi, so he brought his wife out and took the initiative to introduce her to him.
Smart people see through things but don't say anything. Hu Xiaoxiao acted as if he didn't know. After chatting with Mrs. Luo about jewelry in a friendly manner for a while, he began to greet other guests.
