Chapter 857 A True Man Should Care for All
Before that.
Sixth Master responded to Su Yehao's Hong Kong University of Science and Technology plan, intending to donate a full twenty billion Hong Kong dollars from the funds recovered from the sale of TVB shares.
The news had already been published, and Su Yehao had also expressed his gratitude online.
However, such a big matter should be discussed in person, otherwise it would be unreasonable and seem too indifferent.
So, before leaving for vacation.
After returning to Hong Kong from Casino, Su Yehao personally selected some gifts from his own storage room, including yellow croaker maw, authentic century-old wild ginseng, and two bottles of old Moutai from the 1970s.
Jiang Yu helped find a bag.
Looking at the wild ginseng at this moment, she couldn't help but exclaim:
"It's as fat as a small radish. If it were fresh, it would weigh at least half a catty. Once my dad went to give a gift, and the wild ginseng he bought for 900,000 looked like it wasn't even half the size of this one."
"Keeping these things for ourselves to eat isn't very interesting. Once you get tired of them, that's all they are. It's more suitable to give them as gifts, especially to older people. Their generation likes these tonics."
Su Yehao recalled for a moment, and continued:
"This old ginseng seems to be a gift from ICBC. At the time, I heard someone mention that it was dug out in the 1990s and bought for 1.8 million. It would only be more expensive now. If you took it out for auction, it shouldn't be a problem to get three million back. We used to have one about the same size at home, and we took it to make chicken soup."
It was indeed for soup.
It's just that after Nong Qingying gave birth, it was sent to her to make soup.
Jiang Yu didn't know the situation and didn't ask too much, saying:
"It seems that our generation doesn't pay much attention to these things. If you want to replenish yourself, it's better to eat some vitamin pills or drink some milk. These ingredients are more like luxury goods that are valued for their rarity. It's not necessarily that they are delicious, but they are very expensive."
"Yes, society is developing too fast. Even though it's only two or three generations, the differences in living habits and thinking are very big. In another ten or twenty years, when we say we used Bp machines and pagers, we may be regarded as antiques by the younger generation."
Su Yehao chatted casually, and then selected three more gifts, making up a lucky number of six, and asked Linda Yun to send them to the car.
After changing clothes and finishing up, the sky outside had already turned dark. Nangong Tian had a dinner appointment with her best friends tonight, so he only took Jiang Yu to visit Sixth Master's house, deliberately avoiding meal times to avoid trouble.
On the way.
Jiang Yu held Su Yehao's hand and suddenly asked, "I remember the number 6 license plate is at Sixth Master's place, right? I've seen it on the street a few times, but I've never met him."
Su Yehao nodded and replied:
"That's right. I rarely attend events, and Sixth Master is old and rarely goes out. Not to mention you, even I haven't met him. The number 6 license plate is indeed in his hands. The price of the license plate should have been very cheap back then. For example, the land of TVB in Clearwater Bay, the price of the land seemed to be only 320,000 Hong Kong dollars. Now it's worth more than six billion Hong Kong dollars. The price of land back then was a steal compared to now."
Su's father has the odd-numbered, letterless license plate "3" in Hong Kong, while Su Yehao himself owns "666", "su", "hk9", etc. Among them, the "666" license plate is hung on the McLaren supercar that is rarely used.
Thinking that he might be able to buy one back, he asked Linda Yun to investigate to see if there was an opportunity to get an odd-numbered license plate.
It's purely for fun. Now that Su Yehao is the richest man in Hong Kong even if he hangs an ordinary license plate, he has long passed the stage of needing to rely on these external things to set off his own value.
...
Arriving at the gate of Sixth Master's house, Su Yehao got out of the car and rang the doorbell.
A nanny asked through the speaker, "Who is it?"
He replied, "Su Yehao, is Sixth Master at home? I'm here to visit him."
"Never heard of him. If you have something, make an appointment with the company."
"..."
Just as Su Yehao was helpless, Jiang Yu had an idea and leaned over to say, "Please tell Sixth Master that Prince Hao is here."
"Ah?! The richest young master in Hong Kong?"
Immediately afterward, the iron gate made a sound and automatically opened to both sides.
"...Is my nickname more famous than my name?"
Su Yehao was speechless. Indeed, many people were used to calling him Prince Hao. Few people called him by his real name. The news also often wrote about Prince Hao this and that. In the mainland, they were used to using his real name.
Jiang Yu felt very clever.
Returning to the car and driving not far, he parked the car in the yard and entered the house with gifts.
Sixth Master, leaning on a cane, came to the door with his family, his face full of kind smiles, and said with a full voice, "Young Master Su, why didn't you call before you came? Have you had dinner?"
"I've already eaten. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I deliberately chose this time."
Compared with Sixth Master, Su Yehao was practically a great-grandson.
When Sixth Master was born, the Qing Dynasty hadn't fallen yet, and now it was already the 21st century.
"Come on in, why bring gifts? It's a bit cold with the wind today, let's go in and sit down first."
Sixth Master smiled and motioned for Su Yehao to come in, and was helped by his family to sit down in the living room.
After a few pleasantries, they chatted about family matters.
Sixth Master looked at Jiang Yu at this moment and asked:
"Is this little girlfriend of yours the one whose family does tourism business? When I went to Shaw Brothers to sign a contract, my granddaughter-in-law praised her for being very beautiful. The media said that Young Master Su's eye for female companions is more vicious than his business acumen. I can see that it is true today."
"Haha, even you know about this, old man. I spent 400 million to acquire the copyrights of 800 films from Shaw Brothers. Now I am using computer technology to digitally restore them, and I will put them online for people to watch in the future. I have made a great profit in this business."
After Su Yehao finished speaking, Jiang Yu also said, "Yes, our Tianyu Entertainment also has cooperation with Shaw Brothers. I grew up watching your company's movies."
Sixth Master smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"New people replace old people. It's already outdated. The Hong Kong movies with the highest ratings and box office in the past two years are all from Tianyu Entertainment. I was worried that it would decline, but now that there are successors, I am relieved. Films like *Fung Wan* and *The Myth* have very good effects. Our market was too small back then, and the market couldn't support blockbusters. You have all gone to co-produce with Hollywood, which is very visionary."
"When the mainland market is incubated, I feel that it will be much better than it is now. Sixth Master, you have donated so many teaching buildings, which is called 'the predecessors plant trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade.' The credit is immeasurable."
Su Yehao smiled and said again:
"I am trying to donate Hong Kong University of Science and Technology this time, which was also inspired by you, old man. There are still too few high-quality top talents, and there are not enough R&D talents in many high-tech industries, so we can only put the research center in the United States. I heard that you are also planning to donate a sum of money this time. I am thinking of establishing a scholarship in your name at that time, and also naming it in the auditorium."
"I don't feel anything when people praise my movies. A real man values helping others, not just benefiting himself. If the country wants to be strong, the key lies in education and cultivating talents. The highest realm of an entrepreneur is charity."
Sixth Master patted Su Yehao's shoulder and smiled:
"Young Master, you are very good, unlike many Hong Kong businessmen. You have done a real and difficult high-tech business, and you have done it very well. I saw the news about that chip in the newspaper. It said that you let Hong Kong see the hope of industrial transformation and become one of the world's top entrepreneurs. I am already halfway into the ground and can't do much. Money is something you can't bring with you when you are born, and you can't take with you when you die. What is donating some money? How to impart top knowledge and benefit the whole society still depends on you young people."
In comparison.
Su Yehao was quite melancholy, and only felt that he, who was petty, was simply unbearable.
Including Sixth Master, a group of old entrepreneurs had personally witnessed the fragmentation of the country and the fact that backwardness leads to being beaten, and had lived their lives to a new height.
