Chapter 136 Return to Hometown
On April 8, Zhao Shanhe and a group of official representatives and citizens welcomed the new Governor Wei Dewei at Queen's Wharf.
Subsequently, a grand welcoming ceremony and military parade were held in Edinburgh Square.
When Zhao Shanhe saw the soldiers walking on the goose steps, he couldn't help but want to laugh. Compared with our Huaxia steadily, this pace is simply funny.
Of course, it is slightly better than the Indians' pace that they want to lift their legs to their shoulders.
After the military parade, the inauguration ceremony was the inauguration ceremony. Zhong Yijie, who served as the governor for four months, completed his historical mission.
However, he is still the governor, second only to the second-in-commander of the Governor.
As usual, he would retire after he took office as the new governor took office.
Zhao Shanhe remembered that after he left the civil servant rank, he served as special advisor to the Governor of Newport Wei Dewei for six months.
Subsequently, he served as chairman of the Xiangjiang Housing Commission from 1987 to 1992, and served as the first chairman of the Hospital Authority in 1988.
At the same time, he has also served as an advisor to many civil organizations and large companies.
After the inauguration ceremony, all those who received the invitation entered the Great Hall and participated in the oath ceremony of the new governor.
This is just today's arrangement. Tomorrow, the Governor of Newport will complete his inauguration at the Concierge Office and issue a policy program. There will be a cocktail party tomorrow night.
However, these have little to do with Zhao Shanhe, anyway, he is just a tool person.
Just applaud when it’s time to applaud, and just come to support where it’s time to appear.
The next morning, Zhao Shanhe came to the Concierge Mansion and shook hands with other representatives to meet Wei Dewei. Because there were too many people, there was no chance to speak.
Then, on the lawn, Wei Dewei issued a policy program and completed his appearance in front of citizens.
At the evening cocktail party, Zhong Yijie and Wei Dewei met with representatives from all walks of life one by one.
At this time, Zhao Shanhe and Wei Dewei had a direct conversation.
Zhong Yijie introduced: "This is a well-known local athlete in Xiangjiang and a business celebrity Zhao Shanhe."
Wei Dewei smiled and said, "Evan Zhao, I know him. He won six gold and one silver medal at the World Championships last year. He is the best swimmer in Asia."
"Some achievements are ashamed."
"No, your appearance has shown Xiangjiang's sports potential to the world. I hope you can continue to work hard and make your own contribution to the development of Xiangjiang."
"Thank you, I will."
With just a few conversations, Zhao Shanhe delayed two days for this.
After the meeting, Zhao Shanhe looked around and saw the sixth uncle who had already treated Wei Dewei with a few celebrities and he walked over.
"Uncle Six, Mr. Bao, Mr. Zheng, Brother Zheng Shi..."
"Ahe, how are you preparing for going to the capital?"
"What are you going to prepare for this? I'll just follow you to see it. Just have a bed for me to sleep with."
Uncle Six smiled and pointed at Zhao Shanhe and said, "I'll just say that Ahe is also a sloppy person. I heard that you and Xiao Zeng and others have set up a Zhongshan clothing team?"
"It was Mr. Zeng. He was going to make some Zhongshan suits when he went back, and then he customized four sets for us. In the end, his big belly couldn't cover it. As a result, everyone else had new Zhongshan suits, but he could only wear suits."
Several people laughed. Zhongshan suits require the most size, but if Mr. Zeng had a big belly wearing Zhongshan suit, it would be too funny.
"Ahe...good evening for everyone..."
Before he could turn around, he saw several LSPs’ ambiguous smiles. Without looking, Zhao Shanhe also knew that the person coming was the richest woman in Xiangjiang.
Zhao Shanhe turned around and nodded slightly. "Madam Xiaohe."
She smiled and nodded and said, "I will gather with my relatives and friends on my birthday at the end of the month. I will see you here today. I hope my invitation will not make you feel presumptuous."
"Of course not, it's my honor."
She smiled and nodded. "I will arrange for someone to send the invitation to the mansion. Xiao Liu, who is old, please play with less women..."
Although her deceased husband was two years younger than his sixth uncle, he was the head of the four major families in Xiangjiang and was the richest man in Xiangjiang. He only came to Uncle Six after his deceased husband died.
Not to mention anything else, just half of Causeway Bay belongs to her, which is something that the wealthy families in Hong Kong today are not as good as those in today's.
This is not a description, but a fact.
In the 1930s, the Li family spent three million silver dollars to buy half of the land in Causeway Bay. At that time, Causeway Bay was still deserted.
They invested huge sums of money and began to build large-scale projects to develop Causeway Bay into a commercial center in Hong Kong.
Because the family has grown up and the fourteen third generations have divided the property. Each of their family has not much wealth, and many Causeway Bay industries have also been sold. However, there are still properties on one street and four commercial centers, controlled by their family members, and only rent and not sell.
If you really want to cash out, Bao Lao, who is now worth 50 billion yuan, is truly the richest man in Xiangjiang. He dare not say that he has more wealth than their family.
Her status is very high. Uncle Six is just a younger brother in front of her. If the gambling king is there, she will be her younger brother.
Mr. Bao laughed and said, "He only has this hobby in his life, and it won't work if he says it."
Uncle Six did not take any responsibility. He patted Zhao Shanhe on the shoulder and smiled and said, "There are successors. In terms of women, I am not as good as Ahe."
Of course Mrs. Li knew that he deliberately pulled the topic out, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "I'm disrespectful to you..."
Several old guys laughed, and Zhao Shanhe also felt a little embarrassed.
After a few casual remarks, Mrs. Li said goodbye and walked to the place where a group of women were.
Mr. Bao patted Zhao Shanhe on the shoulder and said, "Ahe, you are a sweet bun now!"
Anyone knows that a member of the oldest family in Xiangjiang takes the initiative to show goodwill, not just to appreciate Zhao Shanhe.
Zhao Shanhe smiled and shook his head. "Let's go and see."
On April 12, a chartered flight from the China Chamber of Commerce took off from Kai Tak Airport, and its destination was Beijing.
The Chamber of Commerce's actions this time were quite big, with a total of 100 members traveling together and divided into three planes to head to the capital.
Zhao Shanhe has the least entourage among all, with only three. In addition to Ruan Mei accompanying him, there are also lawyer Zhou Guowei and financial officer Song Aihui.
More than three hours later, the plane arrived at the Capital Airport.
The heads of relevant departments were greeted by the airport and arranged several minibuses to be picked up and dropped off.
Half of them stayed at Zhaolong Hotel on the East Third Ring Road, and half were stayed at the Beijing Hotel.
Zhaolong Hotel was donated by Mr. Bao and named after his father. It has just been built less than two years ago and can now be regarded as a luxury hotel.
Zhao Shanhe and his party arranged a suite and two single rooms at Zhaolong Hotel.
That night, a grand banquet was arranged at the Beijing Hotel to entertain everyone.
The next day, Zhao Shanhe, Ruan Mei, and some members of the delegation who had no business visited the Forbidden City.
On the third day, these people were received by the national leaders and a symposium was held.
At the symposium, Zhao Shanhe made his first speech and announced that he would donate 10 million US dollars to Wudaokou Technical College at a designated location.
This decision not only surprised the leaders, but also shocked the rest of the delegation, many of whom had less than 10 million US dollars in their property.
On the fourth day, Zhao Shanhe was invited to visit Wudaokou Technical College and clarified the donation department.
Of the ten million dollars, three million dollars were donated to the Department of Computer Science, one million dollars to the Department of Civil Engineering, two million dollars to the School of Mechanical Engineering, one million dollars to the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, one million dollars to the School of Materials, and two million dollars to the School of Information Technology.
The Department of Civil Engineering is the department of Zhao Shanhe's previous life and is a donation of sentiment. Other departments have clear purposes.
Among them, the School of Information Technology is the department that Zhao Shanhe attaches most importance to, because the Department of Computer Science also belongs to the School of Information Technology, their department has obtained half of the share.
Zhao Shanhe's donation does not have any additional terms, and only requires donations to be used as scientific research funds.
Moreover, Zhao Shanhe also promised not to avoid any scientific research results. If the results are significant, he would not deny that he would continue to donate in the coming year.
On the 16th, the donation matters have not been fully implemented, and Zhao Shanhe’s threshold has almost been broken.
Uncle Six was going back to his hometown to visit relatives, so Zhao Shanhe simply left Zhou Guowei and Song Aihui to implement the project and ran away with Uncle Six and Mr. Bao.
Bao Lao had donated a single donation of 10 million US dollars a few years ago.
However, his donation was to build a hotel, and no one else could count on it.
However, Zhao Shanhe is donating scientific research funds now, which is completely different in nature, which makes everyone else in the education department come to him.
But for Zhao Shanhe, his targeted donation is very clear, which is to improve his capabilities in electronic technology, machinery, aerospace.
What kind of humanities and management schools are not very helpful to today's countries.
Since I don’t want to get evenly rain and dew, I just run far away.
On the evening of the 16th, the plane arrived in Hangzhou and stayed in a hotel by the West Lake in Hangzhou for one night. Even West Lake was not available for a while, and the next day, he was taken back to his hometown by Uncle Six.
The town in my hometown of Uncle Liu was all urban areas in later generations, but in this era, it was still a muddy road.
In order to welcome Uncle Liu to return home, the local government paved a layer of gravel on the road in his hometown.
Zhao Shanhe also truly felt the backwardness of this era, the land of fish and rice, and the prosperous place in later generations, and is still pitifully poor now.
The entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang area is also suffering from schistosomiasis. Many elderly people here have pale faces, thin legs, but have big belly.
This is not overnutrition, but schistosomiasis.
After inquiring, I found out that in the 1950s and 1960s, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were the hardest hit areas. They finally managed to control them in the 1970s and made a comeback in the 1980s.
The international metropolis of Modu City was not basically eliminated in 1985. Now the medical team of Modu City is scattered in various parts of the Yangtze River.
There was no donation plan at all, but seeing the arduous medical environment in the countryside and those who were tortured by illness, Zhao Shanhe donated another two million US dollars.
Uncle Liu did not donate money in the capital, but also prepared a large amount of funds to donate to his hometown.
Chapter completed!
