Chapter 1337 I Do Charity, I Am Happy
Compared to mainlanders who are so excited to see big stars, they want to get in the car with the stars and drive away, and then run for several kilometers with them. People in Xiangjiang are relatively more sensible when it comes to chasing stars.
In other words, when you are walking, you may see a big star shopping. Within a few steps, you can see several crews filming.
Therefore, there are more celebrities, and they are more down-to-earth and have a fireworks atmosphere than in the mainland. You can even see them all the time when you go to a bar, so it is not so strange as time goes by.
Of course, there must still be fans, otherwise how can big stars attract audiences to movie theaters when filming?
There were also some excited and enthusiastic fans who met their idols, but most of them took photos, asked for autographs and then left. So usually, most of the people who really follow celebrities when they go shopping are paparazzi.
The fanatical fans are far from being as crazy and lively as those on the red carpet at film festivals or during concerts. It's not like in the Mainland, when a celebrity comes and wants the whole building to be cleared for you.
So don't be surprised when you see a bunch of big stars sitting on the side of the road having fun. Maybe it was just a simple dinner party after the crew finished work.
"Does this restaurant have any special dishes?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking as he led Chen Hong into the private room.
Andy is the host today. In fact, the beginning of the year is also the busiest time for celebrities because there are many parties and commercial performances that need to be attended. However, during the time before and during the beginning of the year, Andy was running around in various places in the Mainland, and he almost collapsed from exhaustion.
Therefore, he did not accept the invitations from some major mainland TV stations for the Lantern Festival Gala. He planned to return to Xiangjiang, accept some interviews during the festival to deal with the past, and rest for a while.
"The claypot rice here is very good, and the barbecued pork is also a time-honored brand that has been famous for more than 50 years." Hua Zai stood up with a smile, gave Yang Dongxu a hug, and then nodded and greeted Chen Hong.
There are many snacks in Xiangjiang, and those that have been open for decades without closing are basically those with real craftsmanship. So if you want to eat special food, you don’t necessarily have to go to a five-star hotel to find a special chef. This fly restaurant in front of you Very good too.
"How come we have booked such a big room and someone else wants to come?" Yang Dongxu asked, looking at the large table for ten people.
There is a lot of emphasis on pomp and circumstance when eating, especially when inviting someone like Yang Dongxu, who seems to be a bit extravagant, would feel embarrassed.
But friends who are familiar with He Biandong know that if it is just a simple meal, he is actually not that particular about it. The important thing is that the food is delicious.
So after knowing him for so many years, Hua Zai knows his temper. So I came here to taste the special barbecued pork and booked such a large private room. Obviously, there were more than just the three of them.
"Axing and Principal Tan are coming over. After Axing knew you came to Xiangjiang, he originally wanted to invite you to dinner. He knew that you, the big boss, were too busy and probably wouldn't be able to stay in Xiangjiang for long, so the two of us came together to treat us. .
Principal Tan mentioned you when we were recording the album. Oh, by the way, he collaborated on a song with the newly launched online singers from your company. He was very satisfied with it, so he heard that I wanted to invite you to dinner to join in the fun. "Hua Zai said with a smile.
"As you said, I came to Xiangjiang this time because I have something to do and can't stay for a few days. Otherwise, I should actually be the host and treat you, Principal Tan and others to dinner.
You have contributed a lot to the fund-raising and charity performances held by brother and sister Mei before. I must thank you for this. How about I set up a bureau sometime and we can all get together. Yang Dongxu said.
The Runyu Fund has achieved its current success, and Yang Dongxu has certainly donated a lot of money to it. But the celebrities here in Xiangjiang also contribute a lot, especially when they not only contribute themselves, but also bring their fans who can do it together, truly taking the lead as celebrities. It has formed a very positive reverse in society.
Among them, President Xiang Yitan, an older generation artist who has gradually faded out of the entertainment industry, is really an absolute role model for providing people, money, and efforts.
"It's a good idea to find a time to get together, but if you just want to thank us for our efforts in charity, forget it. We will do it without your thanks, and we will be happy to do it." Hua Zai pretended to be angry.
"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. Let's get together sometime. It's just a dinner with friends." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Dinner party? Are you ready for the next meal before you finish this meal?" The private room door opened and Principal Tan and Ah Xing walked in together.
"You can add a midnight snack after dinner. Hello, Principal Tan, my name is Yang Dongxu." Yang Dongxu stood up and walked forward and stretched out his hands.
"I know, I know, Young Master Yang, right? I've heard of your name for a long time, but I never had a chance to meet you. I've run away to Haina countless times, but every time I ended up drinking tea and chatting with Brother Li. "Principal Tan complained.
"This is my fault, my fault. From now on, Principal Tan will call me directly when he goes to the mainland to pick him up at the airport, book a hotel and serve as a tour guide. It will be an absolute one-stop service."
"I remember these words. You can't go back on your word when Axing and Hua Zai testified." Principal Tan laughed.
Yang Dongxu greeted Ah Xing and several people next to him to sit down.
"What were you talking about just now? Are you having a dinner after the new year?"
Hua Zai repeated the topic just now.
"What Andy said is right. Charity makes us willing to do it. We don't need your thanks for this. Instead, we should thank you for creating such a good platform. Not only does it allow us to help those who want to help through this channel, We also gained real happiness," Principal Tan said.
This is not a compliment, but as long as people do charity through the Runyu Foundation, whether they are celebrities, companies, or even ordinary people. There is no thumbs up for Runyu Fund.
Even when ordinary people donate, even if they only donate a hundred yuan. As long as you know how to surf the Internet, you can check the details of where your 100 yuan donation was used on the Runyu Fund, making charity accounts truly open and transparent. Let everyone feel that their love is put to practical use.
"The good platform is everyone's credit. If you compliment me like this again, I'll get carried away. Also, don't call me Young Master next time. I've said this to Hua Tsai several times.
You can shout like this in public to help me raise my identity and let those who don’t know me know that I am awesome and not to be trifled with. Normally, just call me Dongxu or Xuzi. Yang Dongxu said half-jokingly.
"Do we still need to support your identity? Just say it directly and it will scare people to death." Hua Zai said with a smile.
Principal Tan and Axing also laughed.
To be honest, it would be quite bluffing to mention all the names of Yang Dongxu. There are a series of names of chairman of various companies, and these companies are not those pheasant companies that you can't find out by going to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Rather, they are all big companies that are ranked among the best in the country and even have a reputation internationally.
After chatting for a while, the waiter began to serve the dishes without asking for a table full of dishes to show off. I ordered barbecued pork and clay pot rice as special dishes, and then ordered some other dishes to go with it. Five people ordered six dishes and one soup.
"I heard that you are planning to buy Hedong Garden?" Everyone raised a toast first, and then began to eat the food slowly. Ah Xing, who was sitting in the first place under Principal Tan, asked.
In private, Ah Xing is actually a little too quiet. If it weren't for the fact that the coffee table is now here, he doesn't like to talk in private. He likes to sit quietly and alone, and he would be a little transparent.
And his personal relationships are not handled very well. Although whether they are actors or film companies that he has worked with, the actors are basically popular, and the film companies are also making a lot of money. But reviews of him have been mixed.
This has something to do with his being too serious about money. For example, if you invite him to dinner, he will definitely treat you in return. In short, he will not let you suffer. But if you want to gain some advantage by having a friendly relationship, I'm sorry to say that he will clearly calculate every dime with you.
For example, before you make a movie, your salary is this. If you are willing, you can come and act. If you are not willing, tell me in advance so that I can replace you. After the performance, the movie became a hit, and you wanted to share the money, but I couldn’t, sorry, it was a lot of what you deserved, and it was not your penny that was not given.
Therefore, such a character is naturally unlikable and even a bit rigid.
Of course, if you don't want to get close and take advantage, it's quite comfortable to get along with such a rigid person. Say something directly without beating around the bush. If he thinks he can do it, he will agree to it on the spot and do his best.
If you feel you can't do it, you will refuse directly. However, often when a direct rejection is made, the person being rejected may not be able to bear it. Why did I treat you so well before, how much money I helped you earn, but now you are unwilling to help your brother or something.
In short, people like to judge things from their own perspective.
"Where did you hear the news?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.
"There was a time last year when someone in the He family wanted to sell Hedong Garden, but she felt that she didn't agree with the price offered by the government. Most of the other people who took over the deal were interested in demolishing the Hedong Garden real estate development project, and they offered it several times in a row. Front page news.
But after a while, the matter fell into disuse. Recently, it was reported that a wealthy mainland man was planning to buy Hedong Garden and promised not to demolish it, which attracted a lot of attention.
There are many businessmen in Xiangjiang who go to the mainland to invest. Most of the companies from the mainland that come to Xiangjiang are for listing, but not many are really ready to take root and buy real estate. You are an exception. What's more, it's such a big deal to buy Hedong Garden. Although I know some bosses from the mainland, the richest one is definitely you. "Axing said.
"You are obviously trying to force me." Yang Yao put down the chopsticks in his hand, "But you are right this time. Uncle Six is still involved in this matter."
"Do you really want to buy Hedong Garden?" Hua Zai and Principal Tan were both a little surprised. Even Ah Xing, who had guessed what he really wanted, had a look of surprise on his face.
After all, guessing and being confirmed are two different things, and this is a two to three billion deal. Although they are all real big-name celebrities, they are also considered rich. But when faced with such a large transaction, it still feels a bit incredible.
"Not necessarily. The price quoted by the He family is a bit exaggerated. What I gave is the market price. Whether they are willing to sell or not is another matter. This time I came to Xiangjiang to pay Uncle Liu a New Year greeting. The second one was to give me a minimum price. Is the other party willing to talk?”
