Chapter 52 The Chartered Ship King
Five people asked for a private room in the hotel. The little uncle ordered seven or eight dishes in one breath. Du Qi asked casually: "How are the achievements of Zhiming and Zhiqiang now?"
Chinese people always attach great importance to their children's education, and parents often communicate their children's grades together. Although Du Qi is a younger generation in terms of seniority, he is now able to write books independently and earn a lot of money. Naturally, his sister-in-law and uncle-in-law will not regard him as a child.
Therefore, the younger uncle said: "Their grades in school are good, and they are usually in the top few in the class, but you can't compare with Xiaoqi. I heard that since you went to junior high school in Los Angeles, you both went to the best private high school and were able to get full scholarships."
My uncle-in-law met when she was in the United States. After two years in the United States, he naturally knew that it was really rare for those private middle schools in the United States to get full scholarships.
Du Qi thought for a while and said, "With their grades, there should be no big problem in wanting to get into a better private middle school. If anyone can get into a good school in the future, I will pay the tuition fee."
"How can this work!" the little uncle frowned and said, "How can they use your money when they go to school?"
Du Qi said: "Uncle, I know your family's situation, and your health is not suitable for you to work harder. If Zhiming and Zhiqiang fail to study, I don't care. However, if you really have the chance to get into a good school and be able to make a name for yourself, I don't want them to lose the opportunity because of money. As for these tuition fees, it's not too late to wait until they graduate from school."
This is actually the method Du Qi thought of to help his uncle-in-law's family. As the saying goes, "Mien is promoted and fight for Miqi". If you just give their family money, it is easy to develop a dependence mentality, and it is easy to make people lazy. Now the income of the younger uncle and his wife is not very large, but it should be fine to make the family's daily life, and it will not be too bad in Hong Kong.
Duqi chose to fund tuition fees. If these two cousins can become successful, they will naturally be the best. If they get into a good school in the future, at least their income will not be bad after graduation, and their life will naturally be improved. If you don’t know how to work hard, you can only blame yourself in the end.
In my last life, there was a time when I was very popular about studying. It was not uncommon for those with high education to work for people with low education. However, most of the affected ones were naughty children and some simple guys.
Even before Duqi was reborn, people would post some related chicken soup articles online from time to time. However, those who post chicken soup articles for studying are useless, never dared to let their children drop out of school.
After hesitating for a while, the little uncle nodded. After all, it was related to the future of his two children. Even though he felt embarrassed, he did not refuse at this time.
After lunch, I returned to my uncle's house. In the afternoon, Du Qi also said goodbye and left with the driver's call, which ended this visit.
...
The Peninsula Hotel is located at 22 Sushibali Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. Facing Victoria Harbour, it has more than 300 rooms. It is well-known in Hong Kong and has been put into use for 28 years. It was once selected as a temporary military camp by the British army and was also the Japanese command center.
This is the most famous hotel in Hong Kong. Because Hong Kong celebrities like it very much and often hold cocktail parties here, they are very famous.
What surprised Duqi was that the banquet that night was led by the ship king Bao Yugang. There were many people who came to the Peninsula Hotel to attend the banquet, and most of them were celebrities in the political and business circles in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is considered a private land of British capital and is not large in size. However, because it is backed by the mainland, a large amount of materials flows into the mainland every year through Hong Kong. Especially in the past two years, due to reform and opening up, a large amount of materials will pass through the mainland every year, which has also made Hong Kong more prosperous.
Therefore, Hong Kong's economy has always been dominated by British foreign companies. However, with the development of Hong Kong's Chinese businessmen, there are naturally many dissatisfactions with the current situation in Hong Kong and have begun to try to break the monopoly position of British businessmen.
Among them, Bao Yugang is the most famous, because in April, Bao Yugang successfully acquired Hutchison Whampoa, which was considered a tiger's mouth to seize food. The ship charter king has also won the pursuit of many Chinese businessmen.
Du Qi followed Li Jiacheng to enter the banquet. Li Jiacheng is now famous in Hong Kong. Bao Yugang successfully acquired Hutchison Whampoa. Li Jiacheng also made efforts. Du Qi followed Li Jiacheng and soon met Bao Yugang, the host of the banquet.
Li Jiacheng suddenly brought Du Qi, a new face, to the banquet, which naturally attracted Bao Yugang's attention. Before the ship charter king could ask, Li Jiacheng took the initiative to introduce Du Qi: "The ship charter king, this Du Qi is a Chinese friend that my eldest son Li Zeju met in the United States.
Last year, I wrote a novel "Song of Ice and Fire" in the United States. Its sales in the United States have exceeded one million copies and have already topped the best-selling list in the United States. Now I am a well-known writer in the United States. This time I came to Hong Kong to meet more friends and see if there is any chance. It just happened to be your banquet for the ship king, so I will take him to see it."
Bao Yugang looked at Duqi and stretched out his hand and said, "It turns out that he is still a talented man. I didn't expect that the works written by us Chinese can be so popular in the United States. It's amazing."
Du Qi smiled and said, "It's too much. In fact, the Hong Kong writer I admire most is Mr. Jin. I have read all his works. Many Chinese in the United States are Mr. Jin's book fans, and they have written out our Chinese's own feelings. As for the books I write, it is deliberately cater to the American reading habits, in order to cheat some of the American royalties, which is not worth mentioning."
"Hahaha... You guy is very interesting, but it is also a great skill to be able to give you the royalties." Bao Yugang smiled and said, "I will definitely take a look at the works you used to cheat American royalties."
Bao Yugang gave people the feeling of being generous and righteous. In just a few short sentences, Du Qi felt very valued, and finally left a business card for Du Qi.
Of course, as the protagonist of the banquet, Bao Yugang was very busy, and Du Qi could not talk to the other party. He was very tactful and said goodbye first, and then looked at Li Jiacheng. He did not expect that Li Jiacheng would introduce the boat charter king to meet him. This time he really deserves to thank Li Jiacheng. It seems that he will be called to him if he has the chance in the future.
