Chapter 612: 596 Beyond Huang Jiaju, attention from Brother Zu!

Morning, 9:00, sunlight shines on Hong Kong, temperature gradually rises...

Central Plaza, top floor.

Guan Zu's office.

Since moving to Central Plaza, Guan Zu has fallen in love with standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the open feeling of Victoria Harbour.

"Jie-jie-jie~~~~"

Wu Lianqian was wiping the table, hearing Guan Zu's strange sound, black lines on her forehead hung down again.

Boss, pay attention to your image, hey!

Guan Zu: "Xiao Qian, do you know what is the most important resource for a company?"

Wu Lianqian shook her head: "Don't know."

Guan Zu: "Honest person resource."

Wu Lianqian: "???"

She had been studying for so long, this was the first time she heard this term.

Guan Zu: "Honest people are employees who work diligently in the company, usually inconspicuous, doing the hardest work, their contributions are not obvious... Instead, employees with sharp tongues have easy work, obvious contributions, and get promoted quickly..."

"Honest people are bullied too much, so they want to run away and job hop."

"Usually they can't run, can only continue to work hard honestly; once there is an opportunity, they will definitely job hop rapidly."

"Honest people run away, so many hard, basic work will have no one to do."

"The company will be in chaos."

"In these few days, among these thousands of employees who ran to Five Star Bank, honest people must be the most."

"No need to think, now HSBC is estimated to be chaotic..."

"Jie-jie-jie~~~~"

Here at HSBC, it's already chaotic.

Following a large number of employees running away,

The HSBC building became obviously empty.

A large amount of business began to be vacant.

Phones kept ringing.

One bank client after another called, because no one handled it, leading to clients being very angry.

Especially among the people who ran away, there were many honest and diligent employees, they did the busiest work, their contributions were snatched by sharp-tongued colleagues, now there is an opportunity to job hop to Five Star Bank, they ran away without a second word.

As a result, clients were even angrier.

This wasn't over, those employees who were dug to Five Star Bank started calling clients: "HSBC is not working, come to Five Star Bank, I'll help you handle all business..."

As a result, a large number of clients turned to Five Star Bank one after another.

All of this,

Anthony naturally discovered it very quickly, because a large number of clients called the upper management, saying they were terminating cooperation with HSBC. Finally, this situation was summarized to him here.

At this moment,

Anthony felt a splitting headache!

Hurriedly called the secretary:

"Recruit people immediately!"

"Hurry up and recruit people!"

As a result, HSBC began to recruit people non-stop.

Of course, Anthony didn't forget another important thing—the court's verdict as soon as possible.

A new day,

"Brother Zu, morning!"

"Mr. Guan, morning~~"

Guan Zu went downstairs, a large group of neighbors greeted him one after another.

Downstairs, Xigui drove a black Chevrolet, parked on the side of the road.

Since the company moved to Central Plaza, the distance increased by 800 meters, many times Guan Zu needed to take a car, walking was somewhat inconvenient.

"Uncle Chen, what's the news today~~"

"There's a concert, does Brother Zu want to go listen?"

"Concert?"

Guan Zu had no interest, what Alan Tam and Hacken Lee, some songs are indeed okay, but he basically couldn't get the concert.

"Wait..."

Guan Zu looked at the newspaper, entertainment headline—"Beyond Concert Grand Opening at Hong Kong Coliseum"

Beyond?

Guan Zu suddenly became interested.

In his previous life, he grew up listening to these songs, although he hadn't listened for more than ten years, he could still sing "Glorious Years":

"The bell rings, the signal to return home..."

So, he had to experience the concert scene no matter what.

Perhaps he could change the fate of this Jiaju.

Soon,

Guan Zu arrived at Central Plaza.

The bottom shopping mall of Central Plaza was named "Mars Plaza" by Guan Zu, with a huge Mars model at the entrance, put together with Venus Plaza and Mercury Plaza.

Gold, Fire, Water, still missing Wood, Earth...

In the future, if there are more, he can add other planets.

Mars Mall had been open for several days, invested 200 million in cash coupons, and currently, popularity is very high.

Elevator straight to the top floor.

Hong Kong's highest mode, open!

"Brother Zu~~~"

Wu Lianqian, Gangsheng shouted.

Guan Zu ordered: "Gangsheng, call Gao Jin and the others, ask them if they want to go to the Beyond concert, if so, count them together and go... by the way, book tickets..."

Gangsheng: "Okay."

Soon, Gangsheng made the call and notified them...

Guan Zu also called Ruan Mei, let her notify the wives' group, if anyone is going...

Team building!

Hong Kong Coliseum.

Hong Kong Coliseum can be considered the only legendary large venue in Hong Kong.

Basically all sports activities, entertainment activities, and concerts will be held here.

And this "Hung Hom" name, still has a story. In 1884, the Hong Kong government began to reclaim land at the location of Hung Hom Bay. One day in 1909, a construction worker dug a well, and the well water that gushed out was actually vermilion.

The contractor who believed in Feng Shui was very nervous. After the Feng Shui master surveyed, he attributed the vermilion well water to the movement of the earth hurting Hong Kong's dragon vein, and the flowing well water was essentially dragon blood.

Since then, this place has been called Hung Hom.

As early as the 1960s, the Urban Council at the time planned to build an indoor stadium that met international standards in Hong Kong, finally selected Hung Hom, and then completed and put into use in 1981.

At this time, the Beyond band was conducting preliminary preparations for a concert here.

Afternoon sunlight passed through the high small windows, casting down a few light pillars with dust, adding a bit of brightness to the spacious venue.

Huang Jiaju wore his iconic black vest, worn-out jeans, stepped on a pair of canvas shoes, held his red Strat guitar, and walked onto the stage.

He gently plucked the strings, a few simple notes, echoing leisurely in the empty venue.

"Come, let's start from 'Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies'."

Ye Shirong skillfully sat behind the drum rack, a pair of drumsticks in his hands gently tapping the drum surface, debugging the strength and tone...

Huang Jiaqiang stood on the side, slender fingers sliding on the bass strings...

Huang Director Guan Zhong tightened his guitar strap, checking the effects pedal...

The prelude sounded, Huang Jiaju closed his eyes...

"Today I watch the snow drift in the cold night..."

Fingers danced rapidly on the guitar...

During a solo performance, Huang Director Guan Zhong had a problem with the rhythm.

"Ah Paul, the rhythm here needs to be tighter, need that kind of feeling of breaking through constraints in one go."

Huang Director Guan Zhong thought for a moment, tried again, this time the rhythm and emotion were perfectly integrated.

The singing, continue!

After singing a song...

Just at this moment, the band's manager brought the vice president of PolyGram Records and walked in quickly.

"Jiaju! Jiaju!"

Full of joy.

"What's wrong, Sister Fang..."

"Good news, just now the company received a call from the Five Star Group, the day after tomorrow during the concert, 30 or 40 Five Star Group executives and their families will come to listen to the concert together... Mr. Guan will also come."

"Ah?"

Huang Jiaju shouted in surprise.

"Really?"

Not only him, other band members were also surprised one after another.

Guan Zu's status doesn't need to be said, it's not just as simple as the richest man, his kind of charity made Huang Jiaju admire him very much.

What kind of person is Huang Jiaju?

His personality carries "innate pessimism", but his songs are not negative and silent, but generous and tragic, high-spirited and upward.

Other people's rock and roll is dissatisfaction with many phenomena in this society, while his song style carries more universal love.

There is "Amani" calling for peace, "Farmer" focusing on the bottom group...

And that "Earth" he sang at the Hong Kong performing arts world's selfless gala during the 1991 East China floods...

It is precisely because of this personality of his that he respects and admires Guan Zu very much.

Can be called an idol, not an exaggeration.

PolyGram Records' vice president patted Huang Jiaju on the shoulder: "Mr. Guan chose the seat in front of the stage... so you must sing well!"

Huang Jiaju was high-spirited: "Rest assured, I never lack confidence in music."

He is low-key in person, but always confident in music.

The vice president exhorted a few more words and finally left.

Huang Jiaju took a big gulp of soda, wiped the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Guan is my idol, he is coming to listen to our concert, we must show our best state!"

"Yes!"

Others responded one after another.

"Continue rehearsing..."

This time it's "Really Love You"...

"It's your warm gaze, teaching me to look forward with perseverance..."

During the rehearsal interval, Huang Jiaju also occasionally communicated with the venue sound engineer, adjusting the sound effect...

As the rehearsal progressed, time passed quietly, the sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the lights inside the Hong Kong Coliseum became increasingly bright.

In a flash,

2 days passed, and it was the day of the concert.

Evening,

The entrance of the Hong Kong Coliseum was already brightly lit.

More and more people arrived here, checked tickets, and entered the venue.

Not long after, a motorcade drove over,

Guan Zu, Ruan Mei, Gao Jin, Wei Yingzi, Ah Wah, Ah E... 30 or 40 people, also arrived here.

Many citizens shouted and greeted one after another: "Mr. Guan~~~"

PolyGram Records' Boss Zheng ran over to welcome them with enthusiasm:

"Mr. Guan, welcome, welcome..."

"Boss Zheng, you're too polite..."

Accompanied by Boss Zheng, they entered the interior of the Hong Kong Coliseum, and were led all the way to the audience seats in the front row of the stage.

At this time,

On the stage, staff were testing the sound, checking the preparation work.

19:00, the concert officially started...

As the lights in the venue gradually went out, the entire Hong Kong Coliseum was shrouded in darkness.

Suddenly, a spotlight lit up behind the stage, Huang Jiaju's familiar figure appeared in the halo, he wore a simple white shirt, the collar slightly open, paired with black leather pants,

Held a red Strat guitar in his hand.

At the same time, Ye Shirong's drumbeat rang out suddenly like a rainstorm, "Dong-dong-dong", the dense and powerful rhythm instantly ignited the atmosphere of the scene, followed by Huang Jiaqiang's bass joining, the low and heavy notes intertwined with the drumbeat, Huang Director Guan Zhong was not to be outdone, a string of passionate guitar solo tore through the sky, notes splashing like sparks.

The atmosphere of the entire venue was instantly ignited, the temperature seemed to be rising, and everyone moved together with the rhythm.

Huang Jiaju danced his dance steps and arrived at the center of the stage.

"Wearing a golden outfit, canceling today's work..."

Guan Zu closed his eyes slightly, feeling the enthusiastic atmosphere from all directions.

This feeling,

Not bad!

After singing a song, Huang Jiaju adjusted his breathing slightly and said to the audience offstage:

"The next song is dedicated to all the great mothers in the world, it is they who accompany us to grow up with selfless love."

Subsequently, the soothing and warm prelude flowed out, and the melody of "Really Love You" permeated the air.

"A pair of hands that cannot be decorated, bringing warmth forever behind..."

"Spring breeze turns into rain, warming my heart, lifelong care sent silently..."

Guan Zu's familiar song, his blood seemed to be moving.

Subsequently, Huang Director Guan Zhong and others joined one after another...

The song neared the end, the four people's harmony intertwined, pushing the love for their mother to a climax: "Cannot explain how to repay the kindness of parents, love is infinitely broad, please allow me to say I really love you..."

The singing echoed in the Hong Kong Coliseum for a long time.

Subsequently,

One song after another, kept coming...

"Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies", "Who Accompanies Me to Break Through", "Like You"...

Guan Zu's little partners had already given up their reserve one after another, driven by the atmosphere of the scene, singing while waving their hands...

Guan Zu was no exception.

Live concert, really cool!

And Gao Jin? Cool, but his arm was forced to do business, being pulled by Wei Yingzi to wave...

In a flash,

2 hours later...

The concert reached its end.

The last one—"Glorious Years"!

At this time, Huang Jiaju had already taken off his top, panting, his hair already wet.

"Thank you for your support all along, the next song is dedicated to everyone who fights for their ideals!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Shirong's drumbeat rang out like a rainstorm, Huang Director Guan Zhong's passionate guitar melody also joined, and Huang Jiaqiang's bass laid out the rhythm steadily underneath.

The prelude ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and the audience boiled instantly.

"The bell rings, the signal to return home, in his life, it seems to carry a bit of sigh..."

Huang Jiaju used his slightly hoarse but extremely penetrating voice to sing the unremitting pursuit of freedom, equality, and justice in the lyrics.

"Today there is only a residual shell, welcoming the glorious years, holding onto freedom in the wind and rain..."

The voices of the entire audience gathered together, forming a powerful wave of sound...

When the last note fell, the entire Hong Kong Coliseum fell into a brief silence.

Immediately followed by the overwhelming cheers and applause.

"Thank you everyone~~~"

"Thanks~"

The lights inside the Hong Kong Coliseum lit up, Huang Jiaju and the band members stood on the stage, bowing deeply to the audience offstage.

"Too wonderful, this is the best concert I've ever seen!"

"Good to listen to!"

"Song is not bad..."

Ruan Mei, Wei Yingzi, and others were all happy.

Hadn't listened to a concert before, this time listening once, wow, very great!

This is,

Huang Jiaju put on his clothes, led the band, jumped off the stage, and arrived at Guan Zu's side.

"Mr. Guan~~~"

Bowed slightly to salute.

Guan Zu looked at Huang Jiaju, smiling: "Do you have any itinerary this year?"

Huang Jiaju was confused, didn't know why Guan Zu asked this, but still answered: "In June, I'm going to Japan for a trip... there is a variety show..."

Guan Zu thought for a moment.

He still had a very good impression of Huang Jiaju. He was the first Hong Kong and Taiwan star to take a band to the mainland for a concert (1988), sang red songs "The East is Red", "The Heroic Spirit of the Blood-stained Style", "The Brave Chinese", and then sang "Descendants of the Dragon".

When interviewed by a Taiwan program, Huang Jiaju said he was from Guangdong (ancestral home Taishan, born in Hong Kong), and didn't say he was a Hong Konger.

There was also a time in Japan, a Japanese reporter interviewed: "After 9* years, what are your plans? Are you afraid?"

Huang Jiaju: "Not afraid, because we ourselves are Chinese."

Guan Zu thought of these, and couldn't help but look at the person behind Huang Jiaju, his younger brother...

Chi~~~~

Guan Zu despised this kind of person.

Guan Zu looked at Huang Jiaju, he was the one who fell head-first in this variety show in Japan in June, and then didn't get rescued...

"You are a good person..."

Guan Zu took out a "Peace Amulet" and handed it to Huang Jiaju:

"This is what I prayed for from Wong Tai Sin, only prayed for 10, very efficacious... you wear it, protect your peace..."

Everyone was surprised.

Huang Jiaju was flattered, hurriedly took it: "Thank you, Mr. Guan..."

He took the peace amulet and put it into the inner pocket of his clothes carefully.
