Chapter 711 Doing good deeds
"I suggest that we hold a charity auction, we should be able to raise a lot of money."
On the way to China, Ivanka made a suggestion.
Little Gilbert agreed: "Okay, let's go check out the situation first, and then hold a charity auction when we come back."
Jennifer Connelly said: "Vivian is holding a concert in China. I read on her social media account that she will donate all the income from the tour in China."
"Oh! This is not a small amount of money." Little Gilbert said with a smile: "Our Vivian is a caring little punk princess."
My previous trip to China in person was indeed for disaster relief. The second one is also to gain reputation. Whether in the East or the West, the name of a philanthropist is obviously very useful.
After more than ten hours of flight, the plane landed at Beijing International Airport.
Relevant departments here have received the news a long time ago and have arranged interviews and reports for reporters.
After little Gilbert got off the plane, he was immediately warmly received. Several days have passed since the incident occurred, and all walks of life in China have enthusiastically donated money and materials, which reflects what it means to support one side when it is in trouble.
As the first international friend to come forward to donate money and express concern, little Gilbert certainly received official attention, especially after he personally flew to China.
The second-in-command of the foreign affairs department greeted little Gilbert at the scene, and then little Gilbert also accepted a brief interview with CCTV.
"I am a Californian and have experienced the 1989 San Francisco earthquake and the 1994 Los Angeles earthquake.
Although the damage caused by the two earthquakes was not high, they both made me see the power of earthquake disasters.
There is no mercy for natural disasters. As soon as the incident happened, I immediately arranged for the Fruit Charity Foundation to launch a fundraiser. At the same time, I came here in person to express my condolences to the people in the disaster area.
What I want to say is that no matter what, all kind people in the world are with the people in the disaster areas. ”
Afterwards, the two parties took photos at the scene, and then little Gilbert went to the hotel to rest. The next day, little Gilbert was received by someone again, and a press conference was held in the afternoon.
Then he flew to Chengdu on a special plane, and under the witness of the media, he personally handed over a plaque with RMB 83.76 million to the top local figure.
This represents a donation of $10 million from Gilbert Jr., which was converted to appear to be a larger amount.
Little Gilbert also told the Chinese media: "I am actively mobilizing the love from all walks of life in North America, and a large amount of donations and disaster relief materials will arrive soon."
On the 7 o'clock news that evening, the matter of little Gilbert was also reported.
For safety reasons, little Gilbert did not go deep into the disaster area, not to mention that others would not allow him. It is undeniable that there is an element of showmanship, but little Gilbert has a good heart.
A gentleman doesn't care about his heart when talking about deeds, not to mention he sincerely hopes that these donations can be used for some good deeds.
Afterwards, little Gilbert flew to Shanghai, where Avril Lavigne held a concert. He was very happy to see little Gilbert here.
"Have you visited the disaster area?"
"No, it's mainly because it's dangerous and people won't let me go."
"That's right," Avril Lavigne said: "I donated the proceeds from my concerts in China."
"I know this." Little Gilbert smiled: "How do you want me to reward you?"
"That's not necessary, but..." Avril Lavigne touched her lips with her fingers, thinking.
"But what?"
Avril Lavigne held little Gilbert's arm and rolled her eyes.
"Can you shoot a MV for my next album?"
"You want me to be your MV director?"
"Yes," Avril Lavigne nodded: "I am not only a MV director, but also a starring role. I want to shoot kissing scenes and passionate scenes."
"Uh!" Little Gilbert was speechless: "When we go home, we have kissing and passionate scenes every day."
"No, I just want to do this in the MV."
The little punk princess acts like a spoiled child, and most people really can't stand it. Little Gilbert had no choice but to agree: "OK OK, it's up to you!"
"Hehehe!" Avril Lavigne smiled proudly.
Not long after staying in China, little Gilbert flew back to Los Angeles. At this time, the discussion in North America about whether Little Gilbert was treasonous has subsided, because Washington praised Little Gilbert.
"He is a patriot, a great freedom fighter, kind, just, and loving. He is our beloved Hollywood director:
Gilbert Landrini Jr.…”
That's right, after returning to Los Angeles, little Gilbert was called to Washington again to accept an inexplicable award. He was awarded an award by someone who was about to step down.
This scene confused little Gilbert, but later he found out that because the blue team was far ahead, the next step was the blue team's era.
Little Gilbert was doing things at the base camp of the Blue League's California gang, winning the hearts of the Red League, and this year's "The Dark Knight" had such a huge influence.
While there is still some time left, give little Gilbert an award.
The first is to continue to create a rift between little Gilbert and the blue group, and the second is to tell little Gilbert, don’t listen to other people’s lies, our red group still supports you.
After the inexplicable award, Gilbert Jr. returned to Los Angeles and held a charity auction at the Hilton Hotel.

This auction not only featured Hollywood celebrities, but also Silicon Valley tycoons, and even representatives of Wall Street and established financial groups.
"Representatives from Wall Street and several financial groups said they want to talk to you privately." Ivanka came over to report.
Little Gilbert frowned: "Talk in private? Is there anything else to talk about?"
"I guess they may have found that a stick can't kill you, so they want to stabilize you and even admit you into their club."
Ivanka told her guess, and little Gilbert became even more unhappy.
"It's been so long, isn't it a little late? Well, let's meet first and stabilize them."
The signs of the subprime mortgage crisis have already appeared, and as insiders, Wall Street and financial consortiums feel it more clearly.
This is obviously not the right time to get Little Gilbert, so it might be a truce and see if we can get some benefits from Little Gilbert.
In the reception room, little Gilbert met representatives from Wall Street and several financial groups.
"Little Director Gilbert, I have been infatuated with you for a long time, and we finally met today."
"You're welcome," Little Gilbert shook hands with the visitor and sat down.
After the assistant served coffee, the person introduced himself: "I am Isaac Johnson, the head of Quantum Hedge Fund. We come here with sincerity."
Little Gilbert remained unchanged in response to all changes: "Oh? I would like to know how sincere you are?"
Isaac Johnson smiled and said: "You will definitely like the conditions I have proposed. We are currently in contact with Warner Pictures and plan to obtain the remaining shares of Melon Studio from Warner.
At that time, we will become partners. ”
Little Gilbert had heard of this matter, but he was more cautious when it came to the acquisition of Melon Studio.
If Warner or Disney intends to sell shares of Melon Studios, he has the right to buy back the shares first.
It is precisely because of this that the shares of Xigua Studio have not fallen into the hands of irrelevant people.
Looking at Isaac Johnson, who was full of confidence and seemed to be giving alms, little Gilbert smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you won't have this opportunity."
Isaac Johnson's smile froze on his face: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that Melon Studio does not allow any outsiders to interfere.
Do you understand? ”
Isaac Johnson was shocked. He had a feeling that what he was going to talk about today would not go well.
