Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 151 The hidden rules of donations
"Haha, then I won't be polite. I must experience it for myself!" Gard laughed, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

Seeing this, Zhang Chaoyang smiled and patted Gard on the shoulder: "I guarantee that after Mr. Gard has experienced it, he will never want to leave."

Last night, Zhang Chaoyang hosted a welcome party for Garde at Zhang Mansion, and the two had a great time chatting during the meal.

After having a good meal and a drink, Zhang Chaoyang specially arranged a car to take Gard to the famous Crystal Palace.

The next day came in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Chaoyang took the Tang sisters to attend the party organized by Ge Lianghong on time.

The meeting place was chosen to be the Peninsula Hotel. When Zhang Chaoyang arrived, the venue was already crowded and bustling.

When Boss Huang saw Zhang Chaoyang coming, he hurried forward and after exchanging a few words with him, he quietly asked, "Mr. Zhang, what's the inside story of today's party?"

Zhang Chaoyang smiled slightly and replied: "Just like what was said in the invitation, it is mainly to eliminate pirates and maintain peace in Hong Kong.

To put it simply, we hope that everyone can contribute money and manpower.”

After hearing this, Mr. Huang nodded and asked cautiously, "Mr. Zhang, how much do you think we should donate?
Should we talk to each other first and discuss a suitable number?"

Zhang Chaoyang knew what Mr. Huang was worried about, so he thought for a moment and said, "The people who can receive the invitation have a family fortune of over 10 million.

Then let’s set a range, one hundred thousand to one million.

As for how much to donate, please make your own decision based on your own circumstances."

When Boss Huang heard this, he immediately felt relieved. With Zhang Chaoyang's words, he felt more at ease.

"Mr. Huang, my Crystal Palace is about to open. Please come and support us!" Zhang Chaoyang said as he handed over a gold membership card.

This is a real gold membership card, made of gold with a little bit of other metals added to it, a gold alloy card.

Platinum is also a real platinum alloy card.

"Thank you, I will definitely go to support you!" Boss Huang quickly took the gold membership card with both hands.

"The Crystal Palace has a membership system, and only members above the gold level can board the Crystal Palace," said Zhang Chaoyang with a smile.

Then he explained: "There are also platinum and black gold memberships, but the black gold membership card is only for partners of Crystal Palace Entertainment City.

There are only three in Hong Kong, namely Governor Ge Lianghong, Director MacIntosh, and Director Smith.

There are only twelve Platinum Cards in Hong Kong!

Gold membership cards can only be obtained through invitations from Black and Platinum members, or through joint recommendations from three Gold members. "

Zhang Chaoyang explained this to tell Boss Huang that giving him the gold membership card was not to look down on him, but to tell him that even a gold membership card is very valuable.

Not everyone can get it.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your help!" Boss Huang carefully put away the gold membership card.

Through the brief introduction, he has understood that this is not just a simple gold membership card, but an admission ticket to a wealthy family.

What this represents is a valuable opportunity to gain access to more personal connections.

Boss Huang firmly believes that holding this gold membership card will bring endless opportunities and challenges to his future career development.

After giving Mr. Huang a gold membership card, Zhang Chaoyang continued to stroll around the venue with the Tang sisters.

Stop from time to time to chat with acquaintances and give them a gold membership card.

Zhang Chaoyang didn’t give it away casually.

Without tens of millions of assets, you are not qualified to board the Crystal Palace.

However, don't worry today, the specific qualification to participate today is exactly tens of millions of family assets. If you don't have tens of millions of family assets, you can't get the governor's invitation letter at all.

This is the same threshold as the Crystal Palace, which saves Zhang Chaoyang the trouble of investigating.

Of course, there are also some people who, although their family assets are not tens of millions, still received invitation letters.

However, such people are all leaders in a certain industry.

For example, a Queen's Counsel, the president of an educator university, or a famous doctor.

Although such people do not have sufficient family wealth, they have a high social status.

Even those multi-millionaires would not dare to be arrogant when facing such people.

Chinese faces dominated today's gathering.

This is not because Ge Lianghong deliberately favors or emphasizes the Chinese identity, but because the economic status of Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong has been increasing and their total number has exceeded that of foreign businessmen.

Although foreign businessmen such as Ge Lianghong may not be willing to admit it, the advantage of Chinese businessmen in terms of economic output is an indisputable fact.

However, foreign merchants still controlled some key resources related to people's livelihood, such as drinking water, electricity, and port terminals, which put Chinese merchants in a relatively disadvantaged position politically and economically.

Foreign merchants still occupy a dominant position.

There is no way to deny this.

Zhang Chaoyang feels both relieved and worried about this situation.

He is well aware that the rise of Chinese business power is of great significance to the entire Chinese community, but he also understands that more efforts are needed to truly change the status quo.

He silently repeated to himself: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard." to encourage himself.

In a small reception room at the party, Ge Lianghong had a pleasant conversation with Zhang Chaoyang, Smith, Mai Jingtao and others.

Ge Lianghong smiled and said to Zhang Chaoyang: "Mr. Zhang, this gathering to eliminate pirates that I organized actually provides you with a good opportunity to show off the Crystal Palace."

Zhang Chaoyang responded with a smile: "Haha, this is indeed a rare opportunity, isn't it?"

"That's true. I just gave out more than a dozen gold membership cards and two platinum membership cards." Smith said with a smile.

McIntosh went on to say, “I also gave out three platinum membership cards and more than 20 gold membership cards.”

After hearing this, Ge Lianghong laughed and said, "It seems like we all have a good understanding!
But speaking of which, I am behind, as I have given out three platinum membership cards. "

After a brief chat, the four of them left the small reception room and went outside.

Ge Lianghong took the stage and delivered an enthusiastic and passionate speech.

In general, the existence of pirates has posed a threat to the economic development of Hong Kong.

It must be taken seriously. He has already communicated with the British navy stationed in Hong Kong and asked them to dispatch warships to work with the water police to eliminate the pirates.

Then, Mai Jingtao and another officer wearing military uniform and holding the rank of major general also went on stage to give speeches.

After the three people finished their speeches, Zhang Chaoyang came on stage, expressed his respect to the three, and then donated one million Hong Kong dollars on behalf of the Zhang Mansion to be used to eliminate pirates.

With Zhang Chaoyang taking the lead, foreign and Chinese businessmen also expressed their willingness to donate.

Depending on their status, the maximum is one million and the minimum is one hundred thousand.
