"Careful, come over for dinner soon!"

"Old bean, come and read this news."

"What's so good about news? You're almost done eating and doing your homework, don't think about being lazy all day."

"It's big news. The mainland was hit by floods, flooding more than ten provinces."

"Funding more than ten provinces, the reporter must have made a mistake."

"..."

Judging from the overall ratings, Phoenix TV has been pressing wireless TVB in recent years. But it's just barely won. TVB has been in operation for 20 years, and the inertial ratings are too high. Many older people turn on the TV and watch TVB by default.

Fortunately, Phoenix TV's TV series are well-made, and the variety shows are novel and fashionable. Audiences under the age of 40 have gradually become accustomed to locking the channel on Phoenix Chinese TV.

But tonight, special news is being broadcast during the original unit skit time.

Ordinary families in Hong Kong who are used to watching short dramas on Phoenix TV, turned on the TV and were confused. Then they were attracted by the flood in the news. The whole family sat in front of the TV and watched the news program.

"...I'm Liu Zhendong, a reporter from Phoenix TV in the Mainland. Now I'm in **** city, Jiangsu. You can see the vast ocean behind me. According to local villagers, the area behind me was flooded. The depression, which was a large village with a population of more than 2,000 two months ago, can't even see the roof now. The local People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police Force are in intensive rescue, and they have been in rescue for more than half a month...

In May and June of this year, 18 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government in China suffered floods, and 5 provinces and autonomous regions suffered severe droughts. The worst disasters and the biggest losses were in Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, which were hit by floods. According to preliminary statistics, more than 45 million people were affected by the disaster in Anhui province, accounting for nearly 70% of the province's total population, and 200 people died due to the disaster. The affected area of ​​crops was more than 4.3 million hectares, and various direct economic losses lost nearly 10.5 billion Hong Kong dollars (official exchange rate). The disaster-affected population in Jiangsu Province has reached more than 40 million, accounting for 62% of the total population of the province. 164 people died due to the disaster, and crops affected an area of ​​3 million hectares. Various direct economic losses were HK$14.5 billion. Two million homeless victims set up temporary tents on the embankment of the Huai River.

According to Deputy Minister Chen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, due to the large and wide-ranging losses caused by the disaster, 2 million people are still homeless, and the victims have suffered from infectious diseases such as intestinal diseases and malaria, and a large number of roads, bridges and other facilities Urgently need repair. To complete the above-mentioned disaster relief tasks, more than 200 million US dollars and various materials and equipment are needed..."

The news screen kept changing, and the reporters from Phoenix Television Station sent back live reports from the seven disaster-stricken areas. Especially seeing the endless tents on the embankment of the Huaihe River. The helpless and pitiful eyes of the orphans in the flood, the victims who lost their loved ones crying and robbing the earth... These scenes brought a huge shock to the Hong Kong audience, and many soft-hearted citizens have already shed tears.

At the end of the Phoenix TV special news program, the host changed the topic, from the East China flood to the 1963 Hong Kong drought. At that time, Hong Kong citizens could only get water once every four days. More than 80% of Hong Kong people were in a water shortage situation, and more than 200,000 people smuggled back to the mainland or fled to Macau and Taiwan.

At that time, people from the mainland actively donated money and water to help the people of Hong Kong tide over the difficulties. After the disaster, the central government of Beijing allocated 38 million RMB from the tight financial resources. More than 10,000 people were mobilized to dig mountains, and it took one year to complete the Dongshen water supply project, which basically solved the water supply problem in Hong Kong.

"One side is in trouble and all sides support. The mainland and Hong Kong people are brothers and sisters whose blood is thicker than water. 28 years ago, it was the selfless assistance of the mainland that helped us get through this difficult situation. Now our brothers and sisters are caught in the disaster and urgently need our help. To help. Mr. Kang Jianfei, Chairman of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group, and Mr. Huo Yingdong have co-founded the 91 East China Flood Relief Special Fund. Citizens who are interested in donating materials and materials can make donations at various donation points in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories. All the items will be used in the rescue and post-disaster reconstruction of the East China flood..."

The special news is over, but the eyes of many viewers are still on the TV screen. The flood scenes just now are really shocking.

"How about we donate some too?"

"The family still has to pay the mortgage. I don't have much spare money this month."

"10,000 yuan is a donation, and a hundred yuan is also a donation. Size is a matter of heart."

"I read in the news that many victims of the disaster have no clothes to wear. There are a few outdated clothes at home that I don't usually wear. Why don't they donate them all?"

"..."

"Grandma, why did you take out the coffin book?"

"Donate, donate everything."

"Don't give anything to donate your coffin book."

"A Ping, do you still remember how your grandfather died?"

"Remember, how many times have you said it. In 1952, there was a severe drought in Hong Kong. Grandpa fell ill and died after drinking the dirty water in the ditch."

"I was thirsty at that time, and I could only get water once every 4 days. I didn't even have water for cooking, not to mention the dirty water in the ditch. Many people even drank urine. On the mainland, I heard that we were hit by a disaster, and many people spontaneously Organize to carry water to the New Territories, if it weren't for them, your father and uncle would have died of thirst."

"..."

One day after Phoenix TV's flood news broadcast, TVB began to pay attention to the flood, followed by all newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong competing to report.

At this moment, even the right-wing newspapers that have always opposed the G party can only follow the public opinion and call on everyone to donate enthusiastically.

This flood is really tragic. 18 provinces across the country were hit by floods, and several other provinces were hit by drought. Such a serious disaster has attracted worldwide attention.

Kang Jianfei's company not only pays attention to the flood in TV stations and newspapers, but even this year's Miss Oriental beauty pageant is all about love and disaster relief. The beauty pageant organizing committee stated that the beauty pageants who entered the semi-finals must fulfill their disaster relief publicity obligations, and all proceeds from this beauty pageant will be donated as disaster relief funds.

Even many smart beauty pageants said in an interview with reporters that if she finally won the ranking, she would donate all her competition prize money to the affected compatriots, winning unanimous praise from the media and citizens, and her exposure skyrocketed.

The major donation points of the disaster relief fund jointly established by Kang Jianfei and Huo Yingdong. There are often scenes of citizens lining up to donate money. Those who have money donate tens of thousands of dollars, and those who have no money donate a few dollars. There are also those who donate sheets, quilts and old clothes.

"The place where I am standing now is the 91 East China Flood Disaster Relief Fund Central Donation Point. You can see the donation team behind me, which has been lined up for more than 100 meters by the roadside. Among the good-hearted people who donated. There are white-collar workers with high wages. There are also housewives who usually live frugally, as well as elderly grandfathers and grandparents. Now, let us randomly interview a few citizens who have just donated money. Hello, Miss, can you tell me how much you donated? ?"

"It's not a lot, only 200 yuan."

"Why are you donating?"

"I watched the news on TV, and the victims in it were so miserable. They were all Chinese. It's right to donate some money to help."

"Okay, thank you for your selfless donation. Let's interview this little sister. How old are you, little sister?"

"Nine years old."

"Did you donate money too?"

"My mom donated 100 yuan and I donated 5 yuan."

"Is it your own money?"

"It's pocket money my mother gave me."

"Donate your pocket money, will you be sad?"

"Don't be sad, the teacher said to help others."

"Okay, thank you little sister. God, there is a beggar in the donation team over there, and the beggar has come to donate to the flood."

"..."

Since Phoenix TV was the first to report and donate to the floods in East China, it is now donating to the victims in mainland China. It seems to have become a fashion.

Sometimes colleagues in the company chat, the content is how much you donated and how much I donated. Those who don't donate are afraid of losing face, so they can only make random numbers, and dare not say that they didn't donate a cent.

In particular, a reporter from Phoenix TV found a beggar in the donation team. The beggar donated all the money he begged that day, which moved many Hong Kong people.

Jin Yong, who has not written an editorial for more than two years, couldn't help but come out to join in the fun this time, and praised the beggars and many well-meaning citizens in Ming Pao. He praised Hong Kong as a modern and civilized city. The citizens are hardworking and caring. Even beggars know how to give back to society and help others. It is another manifestation of the spirit of Hong Kong.

The flood of reports on floods and donations is now failing to attract readers' attention. The beggar's donation is definitely a highlight, and major newspapers have interviewed and reported on it. That beggar was completely on fire. More than a dozen companies and enterprises took the opportunity to stand up and invite beggars to join their companies in a high-profile manner, saying that the company needs such honest and loving employees.

President Zhou shook hands with Kang Jianfei and Huo Yingdong respectively in the reception room, and said eagerly, "Mr. Huo, Mr. Kang, thank you both this time, you have helped me a lot."

Kang Jianfei said, "It is my duty to help my compatriots when they suffer."

Huo Yingdong pointed at Kang Jianfei and said with a smile: "I would like to thank Xiaoyou Kang. His publicity skills are so great that several pro-kmt newspapers in Hong Kong have donated money."

"Mr. Huo won the prize, I just waved the flag and shouted." Kang Jianfei said modestly.

Although Huo Yingdong is not as high-profile as Kang Jianfei, he has done a lot of things, such as contacting Hong Kong's medicine and rice shops through personal relationships, and actively raising valuable food and medicine for the disaster area. This makes Kang Jianfei unable to do it. .

The most happy is President Zhou. In the past few years, the mainland's economy has been sluggish, and the triangular debt has brought down countless state-owned and private enterprises. Many people even think that this is a failure of reform and opening up. Coupled with the serious academic and fortune turmoil in the previous two years and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the domestic political winds were unpredictable, and this was the most confusing period of reform and opening up.

Now there is a flood and drought that has swept over half of China, and the national finances are obviously unable to support it. The central government does not even care about face, and appeals to Chinese and foreign journalists for international assistance. This is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

President Zhou is under great pressure. His responsibility is to contact and raise donations from Hong Kong. However, in the past two years in Hong Kong, there has been a strong anti-G trend from the government to the private sector.

Fortunately, with the help of Huo Yingdong and Kang Jianfei, Huo Yingdong mobilized his influence in the Hong Kong business community (Huo Daheng, nicknamed "Hong Kong Tsar", had the exclusive right to operate the mainland river sand in his early years~lightnovelpub.net~ Any wealthy businessman involved in the construction field is To give him face), Kang Jianfei launched public opinion propaganda. With the combination of the two, Hong Kong's business community and people are now actively donating money, and in just a few days, tens of millions of disaster relief funds have been received.

Huo Yingdong personally donated 20 million Hong Kong dollars. Kang Jianfei donated more than him. He also said in the newspaper that he personally donated 20 million, but then he donated 10 million in the name of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group. Representation of the richest man.

Subsequently, the Li family, the Guo family, the Zheng family, the Lin family, the Liu family... donated 2 million to 20 million. In the entertainment industry, Shao Yifu, who has donated education funds to the mainland all the year round, also donated 5 million this time; because of "Cousin, Hello," Zou Wenhuai, who had a bad relationship with the mainland, donated 2 million this time.

At this time, Kang Jianfei suddenly organized a star disaster relief charity performance. Happy Valley Racecourse took the initiative to provide a venue. The donations received by the charity performance were all used for disaster relief.

Even the stars are so enthusiastic, and the British Hong Kong government is embarrassed to sit still. The Hong Kong government announced that it will allocate 50 million Hong Kong dollars for disaster relief in East China. (To be continued) r655
