After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 634: Win people’s hearts
Zhou Haoran returned in triumph with HK$2.2 million.

This is the money from investments made south to rescue the market and the dividends received.

Large clients are dealt with individually; their money is held by the Hong Kong government and won't be returned. As for the smaller investors, each contributing tens or hundreds of thousands, there's no need for individual contact.

The money was distributed to them in the name of the delegation.

Zhou Zhengqi contributed 50 yuan.

In the end, including the principal and the returns, a total of 152 million was issued.

They actually made 102 million!
"Young Master Zhou, the delegation's money has been distributed."

At this moment, it was Mr. Zhuang, who was in the beverage distribution business. He had also invested 50 yuan and received his profits.

Zhou Zhengqi hummed in agreement and said calmly, "I've heard about it. It's all small change. The key is to do a good job with the transportation card project. That's the real long-term meal ticket."

Mr. Zhuang said reluctantly, "I can only do a good job as an agent and get radio frequency chips at the most affordable price."

"Yes, that's enough!"

Zhou Zhengqi sat in his executive chair, waving his hand with an air of grandeur.

"But……"

Mr. Zhuang was somewhat embarrassed.

"Hmm?" Zhou Zhengqi's expression changed slightly. "What? Thinking of backing down? A mere 100 million in profit has thrown you off balance? Can't you see that this is just a tactic to win people over!"

Mr. Zhuang quickly said, "Young Master Zhou, I wasn't talking about the transportation card; I was talking about the profit sharing itself."

"It's just about winning people's hearts." Zhou Zhengqi sneered. "When two tigers fight, one will surely be injured. Once the transportation card project is settled, no matter how much he tries to win people's hearts, who will follow a sick tiger?"

In that time, more and more people will flock to his side.

This person is not very educated.

He can be described as a lucky opportunist; after making money, he became somewhat lawless.

Envious of the central position of the Red Mansion Teahouse and the increasingly prominent reputation of the Master, he felt resentful and thought that the harbor should be his territory.

With a strange expression, General Zhuang said, "Young Master Zhou, the delegation has sent back an income and expenditure statement. After deducting basic expenses from all the income, the remaining amount will be distributed proportionally."

"what happened?"

Zhou Zhengqi didn't even look at it. Going south to rescue the market was his nightmare, and he had been avoiding it.

Mr. Zhuang said, "The expense section mainly contains a reimbursement list, which is recorded in great detail."

"What on earth are you going to say?"

Zhou Zhengqi was a little confused.

After a moment's hesitation, President Zhuang said cautiously, "Your name is on it, along with the names of several other representatives."

"Ok?"

Zhou Zhengqi frowned, somewhat displeased with his roundabout manner.

Having no other option, Mr. Zhuang had to say bluntly, "Other representatives only get around HKD 5 in reimbursement, with the highest being HKD 10. You got reimbursed... you got HKD 162 million."

"what?"

Zhou Zhengqi's face stiffened, and he was stunned.

Mr. Zhuang said cautiously, "The forms show that the delegation's total reimbursement expenses were 226 million, of which you personally accounted for 162 million."

Zhou Zhengqi then remembered.

Yes, that's true!

Back when he was in the Hong Kong government, he treated Jiang Feibiao to a life of pleasure and spent a lot of money on him.

However, in the end, the goal was not achieved.

Jiang Feibiao did not stand on his side.

He was furious that he had wasted money.

Later, he found an excuse to get a bunch of invoices and went to the delegation to submit them for reimbursement... Unexpectedly, the delegation actually agreed and reimbursed him for them all.

Zhou Zhengqi was very happy.

I just felt that Zhou Haoran was showing weakness; after all, he's a young man and lacks courage.

But unexpectedly, this happened in the opposite direction!
"Little Liu! Little Liu!"

Zhou Zhengqi's expression changed drastically. He quickly called his secretary and asked him to bring over the relevant documents issued by the delegation.

Income and expenses were all clearly accounted for.

They truly upheld the delegation's principle of openness and transparency.

Then, the HK$162 million he reimbursed became particularly glaring.

"This despicable bastard!"

Zhou Zhengqi slammed his fist on the table, finally seeing Zhou Haoran's true colors.

So vicious!

This is like throwing yourself into a fire! President Zhuang thought the same thing and hurriedly said, "Young Master Zhou, this matter needs to be dealt with quickly. Many people don't understand and really think you're using your position as deputy head of the delegation to misuse public funds for reimbursement. Now is a crucial time for the transportation card competition; don't let it affect your reputation or cause any unforeseen problems."

"A despicable person! What a despicable person!"

Zhou Zhengqi grew angrier the more he thought about it. He never imagined that Zhou Haoran, with his seemingly harmless face, would have such despicable methods.

“Young Master Zhou, I’ve asked a few people, and they’re already talking about it.” President Zhuang was a little embarrassed to be direct, so he could only offer a subtle reminder, “The Master is giving everyone money, and he’s gained a great reputation. You’ve reimbursed so much; you’re actually reimbursing everyone’s money…”

"You still need to tell me?"

Zhou Zhengqi was furious.

President Zhuang said, "Young Master Zhou, we need to deal with this as soon as possible."

Zhou Zhengqi said coldly, "I will give up all the profits from this trip south to rescue the market and return them to them!"

"Uh..." President Zhuang twitched his lips, his expression strange. "Young Master Zhou, your combined profit and principal are only 152 million. You've reimbursed 162 million, that's not enough!"

"Too deceiving!"

Zhou Zhengqi felt like vomiting blood.

We can't possibly have to pay for it out of our own pocket, can we?
Depend on!
That money was all used to treat Jiang Feibiao to a life of pleasure!
……

Zhou Haoran didn't take the so-called Young Master Zhou seriously at all.

With the establishment of Fudan Microelectronics, he no longer cared about the transportation card project.

At that moment, he was in a meeting at his workplace.

It's the end of the year, and there will be a cultural performance.

Since Zhou Haoran was in charge of the Red Star Broadcasting Art Troupe, this arduous yet glorious task naturally fell to him. The Red Star Broadcasting Art Troupe, in conjunction with several other art troupes in the harbor, would put on a spectacular year-end cultural performance.

The location is the auditorium of the drama center.

The date is set for the 28th of this month.

Zhou Haoran is essentially the "director-in-chief".

He was not very satisfied with the task.

So after returning from the Hong Kong government with the money, and giving Secretary-General Yang Hong a final summary report to the delegation, he brought up this matter.

It's the end of the year.

We should share the joy with the people!
However, the cultural performances held nowadays are all small-scale, with the main audience being city leaders and some civil servants and employees of enterprises and institutions who are being honored.

It's a bit of a waste to spend such a large sum of public funds on a small-scale gala.

Therefore, Zhou Haoran proposed to expand the scale!

The gala will be broadcast on Red Star TV!
Just like the Spring Festival Gala on CCTV.

Hongxingtai could also host a Spring Festival Gala!
This suggestion was immediately approved by Secretary-General Yang. Such a thing can only bring benefits; if it can be implemented, it will also be beneficial to the local area of ​​the port!

It can be done!
Zhou Haoran then returned to his workplace and had a discussion with Director Shan Wendong.

"Organize a Spring Festival Gala?"

Shan Wendong was stunned.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "That's right, if Crown TV can host the Spring Festival Gala, then Red Star TV can too! As long as we don't clash with it, it's fine. They host it on New Year's Eve, so we can put it on the 29th of the lunar year or the first day of the new year."

"Organizing a Spring Festival Gala is no easy task!" Shan Wendong said with great caution. "Crowd TV started planning and preparing for the Spring Festival Gala in the summer. It's already December, and the Spring Festival is just one month away. Time is too tight."

Zhou Haoran said dismissively, "That's enough. Many programs are already prepared and can be produced by the arts troupe."

"We can't just entertain ourselves. The CCTV Spring Festival Gala invites many big stars to participate!"

Shan Wendong believes that it is good for young people to have initiative.

But to put on a Spring Festival Gala is taking a bit too big a step.

Zhou Haoran said, "It's possible, Director Shan, you're overthinking it. The fact that I've made this suggestion means I'm already prepared. With the current resources of Hongxing TV, it's indeed not easy to put on a great Spring Festival Gala. Fortunately, we can ask Tangren Media for help and use them to contact some Hong Kong and Taiwan stars and invite them over!"

Tangren Media...

Shan Wendong immediately understood his thoughts.

These days, the Spring Festival Gala is the dream of everyone in the entertainment industry.

No money is required.

I've trained hard for months, and I'll go even if it means eating boxed lunches!
The Spring Festival Gala is the best platform to become famous!
However, there are very few spots available for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Many celebrities want to get on the list but can't.

If Hongxing TV also held a Spring Festival Gala...

Countless entertainment stars will also flock to Tangren Media. If they cooperate with Tangren Media, all the connections and resources in the entertainment industry will be directed towards Tangren Media.

Who gets to be on the show and who doesn't? Naturally, it's whoever has the best relationship with Tangren Media gets to be on it!
This is a brilliant strategy to win people's hearts!

Zhou Haoran said solemnly, "The CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the capital only promotes stars from the Beijing entertainment circle, which leaves performing artists from Haigang with few opportunities. For the sake of Haigang's art schools, Director, for the sake of reason, public good, and private good, we must make this Spring Festival Gala a success!"
