Chapter 569 New Year's Goods
After Wang Yuanchao's speech as chairman,
The annual meeting banquet officially began, and well-trained waiters quickly shuttled between the tables, serving delicious dishes to the guests.
Regardless of whether each dish in a five-star hotel tastes good or not, the presentation of each dish is a work of art. The exquisite presentation makes people reluctant to eat and destroy this beauty.
Juicy steaks, fragrant seafood, exquisite and delicious desserts...
During the banquet, there were performances by stars and dance troupes on the stage.
There was a moment of beautiful dancing, pleasant singing, and rhythmic lottery draws.
The performances were wonderful, one after another. The company's management were all watching intently, and there were bursts of cheers and applause from time to time.
The entire banquet hall was immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. Everyone was enjoying the food and watching the shows with constant laughter.
Wang Yuanchao sat in the main seat of the banquet hall, raised the red wine in his hand, toasted the other executives at the table, and said happily to Ouyang Yuanfang:
"General Manager Ouyang, today's annual meeting was very well organized. Thank you for your hard work in the preparations during this period."
"Haha, boss,
The banquet environment at the Hilton Hotel was excellent. The event company was very supportive in organizing the annual meeting, and everyone cooperated very well. This is the result of everyone’s collective efforts.”
Wang Yuanchao was satisfied with Ouyang Yuanfang's attitude, nodded, and said:
"In the future, holding an annual meeting at the end of each year will become the norm for our Xiangjiang Group. After a year of hard work, everyone gets together to eat and drink, and report the work summary of the group company to the company's employees.
It is very important to boost everyone's confidence in the company's development, reassure all employees, and encourage them to work hard in the company and serve the company.
At next year's annual meeting, I hope that our company's employees will perform and participate in the event.
Let everyone in the company see the vitality and ability of our employees, and let everyone in the company feel involved. Today's annual meeting was very exciting, and the songs and dances were also very beautiful.
But it’s a bit regrettable that there’s no sense of participation.”
Wang Yuanchao still felt unhappy with himself for pretending to be cool at the annual meeting with the participation of event companies. After all, as the boss of the company and a newly emerged wealthy tycoon in Hong Kong, who wouldn't want to sing "Nothing" at his company's annual meeting?
"Okay, boss.
At the company's annual meeting next year, we will follow your instructions and ask each subsidiary and department to rehearse a program to perform for the company's annual meeting, creating an annual meeting composed entirely of company employees."
"Well, I'll wait and see."
"Okay, boss."
Halfway through the annual meeting, Wang Yuanchao announced that the company would go on annual holiday early, and then he took Liu Qianqian, Liu Mei, Xie Sha, and Liu Meng and left early.
After Wang Yuanchao and his party walked out of the Hilton Hotel, they thought that although they had no shortage of supplies,
However, buying New Year's goods is a tradition for Chinese people during the New Year.
Although the servants at home had bought New Year's food early, Wang Yuanchao had not yet gone to buy some New Year's goods himself. So, under the protection of private bodyguards, Wang Yuanchao and his entourage drove towards Queen Street in Sheung Wan in a convoy of three cars.
In the 1970s, Hong Kong was a Chinese-themed society. The closer it got to the Chinese New Year, the stronger the festive atmosphere became.
When Wang Yuanchao's motorcade arrived at Des Voeux Road West, they found that the entire street was filled with festive red lanterns, red flags and ribbons.
The doors and windows of all the shops are covered with window grilles and upside-down Chinese characters for "Fu". Dafu Road West is Hong Kong's famous seafood street. When Wang Yuanchao and his party arrived here, it was already bustling with people.
There are seafood shops next to each other on both sides of the street. Although the shops are not big, they are filled with a wide variety of dried seafood.
Abalone, shark fin, fish maw, sea cucumber and other precious ingredients are neatly arranged, sparkling with an attractive luster under the light.
The shop owners spoke authentic Cantonese and greeted customers warmly. They picked up the scales skillfully, carefully selected and weighed the items for the customers, and packed them swiftly.
Customers were carefully selecting seafood and bargaining with the store owners. The strong festive atmosphere of laughter and joy filled the air in the streets.
Wang Yuanchao's space already had a variety of fresh seafood, and there was no demand for the dried seafood on the west side of Defu Road, but Wang Yuanchao and his party enjoyed the joyous and lively atmosphere of all the people on this street.
The group of people looked left and right in a hurry, and occasionally bought something to make their women smile amid the surprise and delight of the women around them. This kind of worldly atmosphere was the most soothing to ordinary people's hearts, and it made Wang Yuanchao feel purified after a year of hard work and his tired soul.
After strolling along Defu Road West, Wang Yuanchao and his party took a car across the sea and arrived at Fuk Wing Street in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon.
Kowloon is the place with the most Chinese merchants and small vendors.
At this time, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is even stronger in Central, and all the streets in Kowloon are decorated with colorful and festive atmosphere.
The shops on both sides of the street are hung with all kinds of New Year decorations, including golden Chinese characters for "Fu", zodiac ornaments of various shapes, and red envelopes printed with auspicious words.
Hong Kong's economy is developed at this time, and there is a constant stream of people coming to buy New Year's goods. Many women take advantage of the New Year to carefully select ornaments to decorate their homes, and groups of children are attracted by those cute toys and pull their parents' hands to ask for them to buy them.
Wang Yuanchao and his group also participated in the rush to buy items. Although these items were not needed at home, Wang Yuanchao and his group just wanted to do as they pleased. When they saw something and liked it at first sight, they would just pay for it. The group enjoyed a full purchasing desire.
After shopping at Furong, Wang Yuanchao and his party put all the things they bought into the trunk of the car, and then went to Temple Street, the busiest street in Hong Kong.
Temple Street is located in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, and is named after the Tin Hau Temple on the street.
This place is not only lively during the Chinese New Year, but also very lively all year round. It is a rich place in the hearts of the dwarfs of Hong Kong and it is also the place where the dwarfs like to gather the most. In addition to vendors selling goods, there are also singers singing Cantonese opera, Guangdong songs, etc. It is known as the "common people's nightclub."
Temple Street Night Market sells a variety of traditional Hong Kong snacks, such as roast goose, beef noodles, fish balls, etc. It is crowded with tourists, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining are constant, full of the flavor of old Hong Kong markets. Whether it is day or night, there is an endless stream of people coming here to look for snacks and delicacies.
Wang Yuanchao ate a variety of snacks and delicacies while slowly walking around Temple Street. (End of this chapter)
