【1345】 Huge influence

800 million US dollars, what exactly can you do?

This number does not have a very clear and intuitive concept for ordinary people. Therefore, when Xiao Feng's personal scarf and the "Ginkgo Foundation" announced the fundraising amount of the "Fantasy Dinner" as soon as possible, the majority of fans were stunned for a brief moment!

According to the US government's 640 billion military expenditure in 2019, US$800 million is only one percent of the proportion, which can at most support the daily consumption of an aircraft carrier battle group for one month.

But for an ordinary Chinese white-collar worker, even if his annual income reaches 40,000 US dollars, such a huge wealth still requires him to work for 20,000 years without eating or drinking.

Therefore, for different people, 800 million US dollars may represent completely different meanings. Many people think that such huge wealth is too far away from their lives, and in fact it will not be too touched.

However, some of the data released by Xiao Feng later made more Chinese people understand the importance of this huge sum of money and had more sense of identity with the extravagant dinner held by Xiao Feng.

According to the "Nutrition Three Meals" plan carried out by the "Ginkgo Foundation" in poor areas in central and western China, the daily meal cost of each child is controlled at a basis of 15 yuan, and the amount of 4,500 rmb per child in school for 300 days a year is calculated. US$800 million can allow more than one million children to eat enough nutritious lunch in the next year.

The cost of boarding schools built by the Ginkgo Foundation in poor mountainous areas in China is about 200,000 US dollars or 800 million US dollars. 4,000 schools can be built, allowing two million children to study in a warm and comfortable classroom and enjoy the same cultural and sports education resources as children in the city.

When these data were released, some netizens who had previously held a "dream dinner" for Xiao Feng also lost their reasons for criticism. As long as they could give children a better future, what's wrong with paying a little price?

…………

At the end of the ‘Dream Dinner’, it was noon in China, and major media reported extensively. The ‘Ginkgo Foundation’ and Xiao Feng successfully made headlines!

Over the years, more and more people have gained a deeper understanding of charity, and the charity atmosphere in the Chinese Empire has become better, which gives the "Ginkgo Foundation" a better survival soil.

When the Ginkgo Foundation was first established, most of the work required the foundation staff to complete, and the workload was imaginable. With the continuous popularization of charity in China in recent years and the continuous expansion of the influence of the Ginkgo Foundation, more and more volunteers joined this cause, while reducing the administrative expenses of the Ginkgo Foundation, it also accelerated the implementation of various projects.

The ‘free milk powder’ plan promoted by the ‘Ginkgo Foundation’ is an example. One million cans of milk powder are distributed free of charge to more than 300,000 children from poor families every month. The workload can be imagined.

After all, the families that need the most must be selected from millions of applicants, and pay attention to the changes in these families at any time, and disqualify the other party when they reach the age limit.

At the beginning, such a huge workload almost caused the staff of the Ginkgo Foundation to collapse, but they still had to insist on doing their job well.

Later, with the continuous joining of media reporters, local government staff, volunteers, and volunteers, the workload of the staff of the Ginkgo Foundation has dropped a lot, freeing up more time and energy to deal with more projects.

The ‘Free Milk Powder’ program is just one of the many affairs of the ‘Ginkgo Foundation’ every year. Such an example is enough to show that the atmosphere of charity in China has improved a lot.

In the past few years, the Ginkgo Foundation has spent more than 10 billion rmb of charity every year, and the number of people involved is millions. If the less than 1,000 staff of the Ginkgo Foundation alone are less than 1,000, they may be exhausted and unable to finish it.

In recent years, although Xiao Feng has invested huge amounts of money in the "Ginkgo Foundation" every year, he has become more and more open-minded in charity and has more ideas about the redistribution of wealth.

In addition to the change of the future of more children and living a better life, this happy mood is more important that charity has been fully recognized in the entire society, proving that Xiao Feng and his "Ginkgo Foundation" are not fighting alone!

This is also an important driving force for Xiao Feng to actively prepare for the "Dream Dinner" and "Ginkgo Night" every year. Only when the entire society is devoted to charity and make charity a living habit can Xiao Feng and his "Ginkgo Foundation" achieve initial success.

…………

Xiao Feng did not pay much attention to the media's repeated reports. After all, the relationship between Xiao Feng and the "Jinghu Group" and the media is pretty good, so there is no need to worry about the media's attacks.

What's more, charity is an open taboo. No matter how brave the media is, it is impossible to have the courage to attack the "Ginkgo Foundation".

After the banquet, Xiao Feng had to go with his family to send away the guests who came to the banquet this time. After all, hospitality is the label of Chinese people.

Besides, this time the guests who came to attend the dinner have more or less paid a lot of real money to support the "Ginkgo Foundation". Xiao Feng expressed his gratitude to them on behalf of the children!

When Xiao Feng and members of the "Xiao Family" walked out of the gate of the "Dream Manor", they were greeted by the media reporters who were squatting here with snow-white flashes. In order to get news, these reporters were also very hard-working.

You should know that Los Angeles has entered late autumn at the end of October. The temperature after the early morning is less than 15 degrees Celsius, and the night wind blows are quite ecstatic.

Seeing the professional performance of the reporters, Xiao Feng was also deeply moved. He took the initiative to walk to the reporters, accepted their brief interview, and ordered William to prepare hot coffee for the reporters.

For this "dream dinner", not only Xiao Feng's butler William and his personal assistant were busy, but many outside forces were also making their own efforts for this grand dinner.

Audi Auto almost searched all high-level display cars in California and neighboring Texas to "Dream Manor" to provide travel services to the guests. In order to respond to emergency, Audi Auto even rented 80 Audi A8s from major car rental banks in order to deal with the peak period when the guests left after the dinner.

Xiao Feng's security forces also took action. In addition to taking out Xiao Feng's convoy as the guest's car, many security personnel also acted as drivers and sent the guests back to the hotel where they were staying.

As for those guests who live in Los Angeles, Xiao Feng doesn’t need to worry about it, because they all have their own drivers to pick them up, which saves a lot of trouble.

Tonight, in addition to filming the scenes of the guests arriving and leaving the "Dream Manor", the top luxury cars parked in the small square in front of the manor have also become their important material!

This time, the guests who came to the "Dream Manor" to attend the banquet, except for the few guests who were not so rich in wealth, most of the guests were much higher than most people in the world.

Therefore, it is not surprising that top luxury cars including Rolls-Royce Welcome, Bentley Continental, Maybach, Mercedes-Benz S600, BMW 750i and other top luxury cars appeared, and the small square has become a luxury car exhibition.

Considering that there were drinking at the banquet, there were reporters on site, including Kobe, Tom Ge and others who did not drive their own supercar to attend the banquet, this somewhat reduced the quality of the small car show a lot.

…………

When Xiao Feng and his family saw the guests off, the servants around him accurately took out the gift boxes for each guest under the command of Mark William, and Xiao Feng and others handed them to the guests.

The guests obviously did not expect that Xiao Feng had prepared gifts for them, and they were somewhat overjoyed. After all, this was always an unexpected surprise!

Of course, the guests will be happier after returning to their residence and opening the gift box to read it. After all, these gifts are quite expensive and very rare. The blessings written by Xiao Feng personally are even more precious!

It is already past one o'clock in the morning, and Xiao Feng and the guests are not too long-winded. They say goodbye, and the bloody scene of reluctance to leave has not been staged. As cars continue to leave, the guests' "dream dinner" journey has ended successfully!

…………

"David, thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Feng and Xiao Bei hugged and expressed their gratitude to him!

Now that the Premier League and the Champions League have entered a white-hot state, Beckham is able to put down his busy work and run to Los Angeles to support the "Fantasy Dinner" and to come to watch the Lakers' opening game tomorrow. Xiao Feng is naturally very grateful.

Although Manchester United and Newcastle United are direct competitors, at the level of Xiao Feng and Beckham, the confrontation between the teams will not affect each other's friendship. They can already view various changes from a transcendent perspective.

This time, David and his wife came to the "Dream Manor" and helped Xiao Qiang and others to introduce many guests, becoming lubricants between the "Xiao Family" and the guests who came to the "Dream Dinner" for the first time.

It is Xiao Feng’s honor to be able to meet such a "heartthrob" as a friend!

"You are too polite!" Xiao Bei smiled and gave Xiao Feng a hug, saying, "We'll go back first, you can rest early!"

I have to say that because of his work at the "Newcastle Club" over the years, Beckham is quite familiar with many Chinese etiquettes, and he is quite casual when speaking Chinese.

The two of them were not very polite. Xiao Bei turned around and got in and left with his wife. Xiao Feng also met another guest.

…………

It took me a long time to get over 2 a.m., and all the guests were sent away. Even though Xiao Feng was incredibly physical strength, he felt a little tired.

Xu Mengyao was even more unbearable. When she got home, she immediately threw off her high heels, slumped on the sofa, and directed Xiao Feng to release hot water.

As the hostess, Xu Mengyao does not need to do any physical work, but she smiles for several hours and wanders among hundreds of guests, which is quite tiring.

The establishment of the "Ginkgo Foundation" is also Xu Mengyao's original intention. It can allow more children to change their destiny, even if they work hard, it is worth it.

Like tonight, he raised 800 million US dollars in one go. This amount is quite large. After all, the funds required for each project of the "Ginkgo Foundation" are only more than 3 billion US dollars a year. Xu Mengyao was very satisfied with the results of this at a dinner.

With this money, this year's school construction, sunshine track and the "Nutritional Three Meals" project will have greater confidence, and you don't need to pay money from your husband's pocket every time.

Although Xiao Feng's wealth can support all the expenditures of the "Ginkgo Foundation", integrating more social forces and expanding the foundation's influence is the result Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao want to see.

Judging from the current situation, the "Ginkgo Foundation" has successfully become a world-renowned charitable foundation and will have better development in the future!

…………

After a good night of rest, Xiao Feng began to settle the various fees for holding the "Fantasy Dinner" with Mark William and Ma Xiaotian and his team of private accountants, which are all tax-free parts.

For Xiao Feng, holding a "dream dinner" can not only expand the influence of the "Ginkgo Foundation", but also help more children, and avoid taxes. It can be said that it is a kill of three birds with one stone!

Xiao Feng is not a saint. It is normal for him to have a little selfishness while doing something for the children.

This time, Xiao Feng bought a set of tea sets from Jun kilns in the Song Dynasty for $30 million, which is unparalleled. It will become the treasure of the "Xiao Family Museum". In addition, Xiao Feng also added $70 million to make up 100 million, which is the amount of donation from his own to the "Ginkgo Foundation" this time at the "Dream Dinner".

This million US dollars is within the scope of tax exemption, but the specific situation still needs to be handled by the accountant and tax accountant in detail before they can obtain exemptions from the American tax department.

In addition to donations, Xiao Feng's various expenses for holding a banquet this time, including gifts of more than 30,000 US dollars prepared for each guest, and the cost of more than 10 million US dollars can also be obtained as a certain tax exemption amount.

In the United States, the tax department is even more terrifying than FBI. Although Xiao Feng is now the richest man in the world, he still has to be careful and try not to make low-level mistakes as much as possible. Otherwise, he will be embarrassed and be targeted by the American tax department. It will have a very negative impact on the industry of "Mirror Lake International" in the United States.

When Xiao Feng reached his position, every move no longer represents not only himself, but also represents the "Xiao family" and the millions of people following the huge industrial chain behind the "Jinghu Group". Therefore, Xiao Feng became more cautious!

Perhaps, this is the trouble of happiness!
