All those present today were HK's businessmen. Although HK's artists are also very famous, they are not qualified to receive invitations from Li Kacheng.
Chen Xi sat down under the leadership of a staff member, next to him was Li Kacheng. Jason was placed in another position.
After everyone was almost there, a bald man appeared on the stage. Bob, the host of TVB, and was also invited to serve as the host of the charity dinner.
Bob first said a few relaxed words to mobilize the atmosphere on the scene, and then said, "Dear guests, we gathered together tonight, all with a common goal - with our love and Power, light up the light of hope for those children in need.
I would like to express my special thanks to our organizer, Mr. Li Kacheng, and the Angel Fund he founded. It is precisely because of such a big heart Only entrepreneurs who love and have the courage to take responsibility can have the opportunity to gather here and contribute their own strength to the rescue of children with cleft lip and palate.
Cleft lip and palate, this seemingly simple noun, carries the heaviness and pain of countless children and families. But please believe that love can overcome all obstacles. Tonight, every donation and every thought we have will turn into a source for the children to smile again. Here, I call on every guest sitting to join hands and bring warmth and hope to these children with our actions and love..."
"Thanks to Mr. Zhang for donating to the Angel Fund Five hundred thousand. ”
”Thanks Ms. Wang for donating 700,000 yuan to the fund! "
Under the guidance of the host, everyone on the scene started donating.
Jason looked at the decision of the group of people, and his mind was filled with question marks.
< br>
I'm afraid I don't have any brain problems when I give money.
When he was in Tuya, he also participated in donations made by the church, but the amount was very small, and the people who participated were different, and there were even homeless people who made a living by picking up garbage.
In Jason's perception, the rich people in HK should be very stingy. Although the news always says that XXX bought a yacht or a sports car, it was all about spending money on yourself.
Especially, Li Kacheng, the initiator of the charity party, Jason also watched an interview saying that Li Kacheng usually drinks mineral water and does not even waste a drop of water.
There are also rich people who have a wealth of 100 million yuan, but they go to the subway to travel like ordinary people.
Today, the host said a few words on the stage, and these guys waved their hands and threw out a handful of money, which really made them unable to understand.
Almost all the men and women around him donated money, but Jason did not. At this time, he was so embarrassed that he could even cut out three bedrooms and one living room. "Sir, how much do you plan to donate?" A man wearing glasses asked in a low voice next to him.
Jason glanced at the other party after hearing this, and he noticed that the man had not donated until now, just like him. But at this time he brainwashed himself again. I am a Christian, and they are also a Christian. Money is nothing more than anything else. It doesn’t matter if you donate more or less, just have a heart that cares about the world. "Well, I don't plan to donate today." Jason cleared his throat.
As soon as these words were spoken, people around them cast strange gazes. After all, those who were invited to attend today's dinner were all well-known figures in society. Even if they did not donate huge sums of money, they would be considered as giving Li Kacheng a face.
No donation? What a lie.
Why did you come here today if you don't donate?
Watch the show?
Seeing the strange look of people around him looking at him, Jason straightened his chest and explained calmly: "I am a Christian and have been in the church for many years. When I was in Tuo O, I actively participate in donations and various good deeds, and I have never stopped after coming to HK. I am very honored to be invited to this dinner today, and I hope to take this opportunity to observe the love and dedication of everyone present to charity.
God teaches us that true charity does not depend on the amount of donations, but on the heart that is willing to help others and to have a positive impact on the world. Each of us shoulders the mission of spreading love and hope. Therefore, I think that whether we donate or not, as long as we have love in our hearts and care for the weak, it is enough.
Of course, in this material-first society, many people may use money to measure a person's good deeds. But what God values more is our hearts and motivations. I am here today to witness and learn how everyone practices charity in their own way.
Charity should be a continuous act, not a momentary impulse. I will continue to support those in need within my capacity..."
The people around me are Christians, Buddhists, and atheists.
The people around me are Christians, some are Buddhists, and some are atheists.
As Christians, those who are Christians naturally feel a sense of intimacy after hearing Jason's words, while others are a little unbelievable.
The man with glasses who had just asked Jason suddenly held his hand excitedly and said, "So you are also a Christian. I just heard you and felt a lot of emotion. I originally planned to donate only 200,000 yuan, but I heard it. For your sharing, I decided to increase the donation amount and donate two million to support this charity. One million of them is donated to the Angel Fund to help children with cleft lip and palate so that they can smile again. million, I plan to donate to the church to spread God's gospel and help more people in need. In the future, I will be like you and be a person who conveys positive energy..."
"Haha, Lao Tang Ah, are you diabetes? You want to seek spiritual comfort by doing good deeds and seek medical treatment? If Jesus could really bless you, he wouldn't let you get sick, right? "A fat man next to you He smiled with a joking tone. "What do you know? That's because I didn't donate enough and didn't have enough money before. Now I have truly realized the true meaning of charity. I want to donate, donate one million!" The man in glasses raised his hand after saying that. "Okay, thank you Mr. Tang for donating one million to the Angel Fund." Bob pointed to the distance with a smile.
As there are more and more donors, the amount is also getting bigger and bigger, but the maximum is only about three million.
"I donate 10 million!"
At this time, a man sitting in the front row suddenly reached out.
"Ten million?"
"Who is this person? I don't seem to have seen him before. Is he Boss Li's illegitimate son?"
"Shh~ don't talk nonsense. I know this person. I showed my skills in the VIP room of the racecourse yesterday. I predicted which horse would win before the race. It was a red-topped businessman from the mainland..."
As soon as Chen Xi took action, everyone in the audience started to talk. Those who saw him yesterday began to boast about his experience yesterday.
Bob was very excited at the moment, and his voice was full of respect: "I sincerely thank Mr. Chen for his great contribution to the future of the children. When it comes to Mr. Chen, he is not only our honorable mainland guest, but also Mr. Li’s close friend and business partner. This time he came to HK is to promote exchanges and cooperation between the local and mainland China. When he learned about this charity party that cared for children, he devoted his love without hesitation…”< br>
"From the mainland? Red-topped businessman?" The man with glasses who had just donated one million yuan looked questioning. "When it comes to this red-topped businessman, HK has not been without precedent before, especially in the early stages of its return, several people have emerged. They all have amazing energy and have strong support from the mainland behind them. They come to HK mainly to find Partners jointly develop the mainland market. In fact, HK's businessmen have always been eager to develop in the mainland, but they are often difficult to perform due to various restrictions. With the help of these red-topped businessmen, with the current booming momentum of the mainland , then..." A middle-aged woman next to the man with glasses said slowly, and he seemed to be very respectful to the red-topped businessman. "You still need to use this kind of thing to popularize science here? I mean I have never seen such a young red-topped businessman." The man with glasses was speechless.
"What's the matter? The times are developing. We are all older. Now the second and third generations are coming out to do something. What's so strange about it? For example, the person sitting in front of us, who just claimed to be in Life in Tu'ao may be the child of a big boss..." The fat man who joked about the man with glasses said again at this time, but he didn't know whether he was explaining or wanted to explore Jason's background.
"The person who just donated was my friend, and I was brought by him today. That's right, he is the red-topped businessman you mentioned. Let me tell you, he has extremely strong strength in the mainland. background…” Jason stood up straight.
When Chen Xi came, he told him to try not to speak. If someone wanted to ask questions, let him blow to death. He still remembers this. He was slapped by these people before, so he naturally wanted to regain his face.
At this time, Bob on the stage kept saying words of thanks and praise. When he arrived at the back, he handed it to Chen Xi with the microphone: "Mr. Chen, do you have anything to say today?"
However, Chen Xi waved his hand and couldn't speak today.
What you want is a sense of mystery!
Bob also understood and retreated.
"I'll hold a party in the villa in private, and the effect will depend on you."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in one 6 One 9, one book, one bar, one read!
"I understand."
Li Kacheng whispered in Chen Xi's ear, and the latter nodded slightly.
However, this small action fell into the eyes of others, but it made people think a lot.
Even Li Kacheng whispered in his ear like this, then he must be a red-topped businessman.
When the charity party ended, Chen Xi returned to the hotel, looked at Jason in front of him and asked, "What do you think today?"
"There are many." Jason sat down.
"Oh? Tell me." Chen Xi lit a cigarette.
"I used to think they were stingy, but donating money seemed generous. But thinking about it, they all have hundreds of millions. Donating tens of millions today seems to be like I feel like I spent dozens of dollars..."
"Then you think too much, but in fact, the people who donated today are not all rich. It can be said that they used to be rich, but now they are rich. It's hard to say."
"How is it possible? Why don't you have to donate if you don't have money?" Jason seemed a little disbelief. "This is very simple. You have also watched those down-and-out princes in TV series. The prince's mansion can no longer afford the money, but the prince's meal in the restaurant is still a big table of famous dishes, just to be away The shameful person in front of outsiders. If they have no money, they would rather sell their ancestors’ antiques than maintain their face. To give another example that is close to life, it would be like a person’s monthly salary is only 3,000, but he would have to go home for the New Year every year Pretend to be a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, so as not to be embarrassed in front of relatives and friends. All the people present are businessmen, many of them cooperate and go to bank loans to do business. If you show that you are down and have no money , who will pay attention to you in the future? ”
"You mean that these people donate to maintain their image as a rich man, so that they can make money better in the future?"
"It's almost the same. Of course, donations are not really something that can't be obtained. You are stupid as a businessman, giving money to others for free... Sometimes natural disasters often occur in the mainland, and some entrepreneurs and artists donate. Some people's financial situation is actually not good, but the donation list is often caused by People will make a fuss when they are exposed, and if they don’t donate or donate less, they will be fussed. So although some people are tight, they can only do it with a tough head, otherwise they will be blasted online. "Chen Xi exhaled a puff of cigarette.
"It seems that they are more tired than ordinary people. If they have no money on them, they might even sell antiques or loans to do charity to maintain their image . Ordinary people lose money when they have no money, haha..." Jason, who had figured it out, laughed as he said.
Seeing that the old classmate's worries had been resolved, Chen Xi also smiled knowingly.
Two days later, Macau District.
"The live broadcast machine has been made, and there is no problem with the operation. But there seems to be very few customers playing this game. People in the group have a lot of complaints about this project." Xinhao, Lawrence said, pointing to the data on the computer.
Indeed, there are relatively fewer customers playing live broadcast machines, and most customers still like the experience of being at the card table.
After all, a live broadcaster is equivalent to a computer game. You can't squint the cards, and the participation level is slightly reduced.
"This is not a problem. A new point system has been implemented before. The actual calculation of points played on the card table is inaccurate, but the points of the live broadcast machine are 100% accurate. The casino only It is necessary to hold activities from time to time, and increase the points for playing live broadcast machines to attract more guests." Chen Xi replied casually. "This is a good idea. You answered so quickly. It seems that you had already figured out a solution before you started a live broadcast machine." Lawrence snapped his fingers satisfied after hearing this.
"This time I came to the Australian District to see what I need help with in the casino, and the other is to attract investment."
"You have told me before, don't worry."
>
Hearing this, Lawrence smiled at him.
There are several major families in the Australian area. Chen Xi has a good relationship with Ma Yueling and Lawrence, but no other well-known people have ever seen them.
Lawrence's family is quite special and the family relationship is relatively complicated. Chen Xi met his sister when he was running for vice president before, but he was not very familiar with others.
At this time, in the vegetable market downstairs of the casino. "Why did you lose again? Could it be that you were cheating?" A middle-aged man angrily threw the cards on the table.
"Mr. Chen, look at what you said. The casino here never cheats, otherwise who would dare to come and play? Isn't this smashing your own signature?" The one next to him had a big back and a jacket. The man in shirt and leather shoes smiled awkwardly. "Every time I am only a little older than me. When I am eight, he is nine o'clock. When I am seven, he is six o'clock. I am not fake enough?" Chen Jingrui stroked his hair irritably. (This chapter ends)
