Chapter 149 Charitable Foundations
This night's auction was the most enjoyable night Gu Hanhan had since he got on the spaceship. She had a good conversation with Anderson, an aristocratic artist with blue and gray eyes. Anderson doesn't always have to speak nervously like a cosmic wandering poet whose life is all about love and lyricism, and he will also use ordinary words to talk to Gu Hanhan about some interesting things in the aristocracy and various anecdotes encountered in space travel.
From his mouth, Gu Hanhan knew that the universe was not always so bad. Although there are many people in the upper class who rely on power and money to do evil, there are even more people who give back to the society with a kind and grateful heart. From his mouth, Gu Hanhan learned that after most successful people succeed, they do not blindly indulge in personal pleasure, and will always use part of their strength to help ordinary people succeed. Many families that have been passed down for several generations have a tradition of doing charity, not only donating large sums of money every year, but even setting up charitable foundations.
"Since I was 12 years old, I have been volunteering for the weekends at my aunt's charity organization. It was a charitable foundation for disabled miners, providing some medical and livelihood assistance, and providing legal aid. I can do a little accounting for the accountant, or help the lawyer look up some legal texts, or help with some fundraisers. At that time, I had already studied as an accountant and a lawyer, and although I had not been able to take the formal qualification due to my age and other reasons, I had absolutely no problem working as an assistant. As an adult, things gradually increased, and I couldn't go every week, but every year I donated one-tenth of my income to the foundation, and if there was a need for charity, I was always ready to come forward and contribute a little. He said.
"Then can I participate?" Gu Hanhan asked with great interest.
"Of course," Anderson responded, "I can introduce you to some foundations." ”
"Do you need to sign up for recruitment or anything?" Gu Hanhan was a little unconfident, "Think about it, I basically don't know anything, I can't pass math and Chinese, let alone accounting and law, and I can't do anything if I go." ”
Anderson smiled and said: "You don't have to do those specific technical tasks, but you just participate in some charity social activities from time to time, and it is very meaningful to do fundraising-ah, there will be a charity reception on the spaceship in two days, and the organizer seems to be a foundation dedicated to helping college students and out-of-school children from difficult families." I've had some dealings with Mrs. Kant, the director of this foundation. If Miss Gu is interested, please ask her to send you an invitation. ”
When Gu Hanhan chatted with Anderson, an aristocratic philanthropist, poet and painter, and an unlicensed accountant and unlicensed lawyer, and finalized his decision to attend a charity reception hosted by the Scholarship Foundation the night after tomorrow, the valets also chose the gifts that Gu Hanhan promised. One of the personal servants took a pair of cufflinks at the price of 120,000 earth reserve rolls, and the second of the personal servants spent Gu Hanhan 90,000 yuan to buy a silk scarf, and he also helped the third of the personal servants pick out a retro watch, and the fourth of the personal servants selected a signature pen and won it at the prices of 170,000 and 190,000 earth reserve volumes respectively.
The rich woman Gu not only spent money to find a sense of saving, but also spent money to buy a conscience, showing off her wealth and charity, and participating in an auction was extremely successful. So I was very happy, and after the end, I went out and said to the personal valet: "We'll come back next time." Anderson affectionately sent Gu Hanhan all the way into the elevator and said goodbye reluctantly.
Back in the room, Anthony wasn't done with his work. Gu Hanhan spent an hour in the bathroom, and when she came out, she saw Anthony already leaning on the bed waiting for her. He had already taken a bath, and his pajamas were scattered on his body without straps, Gu Hanhan walked over, and he stretched out his hand to pull her onto the bed and wrapped her in his pajamas. They were happy and excited to complete a cycle.
Gu Hanhan has been thinking about the charity fund that Anderson talked about in his mind, so when he was lying on the bed and watching Anthony swim while resisting the desire of **, he said that he was going to do some charity and make some contributions to human fairness and justice. Although there is a lot of pressure to donate money every year, it is still within my power to be a volunteer for fundraising!
But Anthony's attitude was very dismissive - "Charity, all that nonsense that the energy consortium has made, how can you be interested in this?"
Gu Hanhan glanced at Anthony, who was coming out of the pool: "What is boring? People spend money and effort to do good things, and in the end, you will be bored." ”
Anthony was noncommittal, and after serving him in a yukata, he sat down by the pool to smoke a cigar as usual.
Or do charitable foundations do do charity, but is that 1 percent, 3 percent, or 5 percent? The money of the energy consortium is never taken out for nothing. An energy consortium is like a vast monster kingdom with tentacles that pervade human society. They go deep into the qiē class, and their shadows can be seen everywhere. There is no one in the universe who is better at manipulating and manipulating than them, and they are close to the superpower families, the powerful and dignitaries, and the trade fleets that connect the universe. No other class has such a close and inseparable connection to state power and government, except for energy conglomerates.
A small fluctuation in the price of lanthanum crystal futures in the energy trading market will shake the era of the universe, whether it is the exploration of new energy galaxies, the bidding and mining of lanthanum crystal, or the subsequent energy distribution plan, there is a huge chain of interests and power behind it, and it takes countless shady transactions to achieve, and the tools that operate these shady scenes, distribute and transmit profits are those charitable funds controlled by the energy consortium.
From tax exemptions, talent training, government donations, and a variety of luxurious interest lobby groups, to various state or private interest-free loans, to a wide variety of aid, and even a national coup d'état, all of them are done through the Guò Charity Fund. And it is precisely by relying on the huge political capital accumulated by charitable foundations that energy consortia can gain the power to confront the state power and even the superpower power head-on. A huge energy consortium empire like the Silver Nuclear Group, even if it is as strong as Maximilian and arrogant as Su Yu, it will not be touched lightly.
Of course, Anthony does not intend to sue Gu Hanhan right now, the so-called charitable foundation is just a tool for the energy consortium to facilitate the arrangement of family children and grandchildren and manipulate the political government. Tell her these now, can she understand, is she willing to believe it, after believing it, it is one thing to bear it in her heart, and more importantly, his goddess seems to have finally found such a thing that can be spent on money, and can also find fun-
For Gu Hanhan's mood, Anthony actually understands it very well. Many years ago, he also had such a period of great confusion. The balance of a personal account becomes meaningless than a number, because no matter how much money you have, there is nowhere to spend it, power and wealth are at your fingertips, and no matter what you want, someone will always give it just right. The worldly personal pursuits are no longer applicable, life, even life is boring, life seems to be only for other people, and only by living for others can we experience a little bit of life......
So, it's okay for her to play for a few days and get past the philanthropist's addiction, anyway, it's just a little inconsequential money to spend a little time at a social drinking party. Oh, or maybe there are sexual encounters, those automatic cucumbers who can just relieve her ** stress and mental backlash, they may be more acceptable to her than slaves and valets......
So, when Anthony completely suppressed the ** on his □ body and went to bed to hug Gu Hanhan, he said to her: "It's actually really boring." They're just going to do it because they're not strong enough, and we never need it -- but if you're interested, you can do whatever you want. Sleep, my dear master, if you want to save the suffering of the whole universe, at least tomorrow morning. ”
Gu Hanhan enjoyed the feeling of being circled by Anthony in a firm chest and safe and secure, and his heart was very sad and indignant: The heart is black and cannot be saved! How could the old lady fall in love with such a man who has no sympathy! Compared with Mr. Anderson, who has a beautiful soul, he is simply a bad guy and a bad guy -- sad and urging, the old lady actually loves a bad guy and is simply sick! So is it really the truth of the universe that bad men are more attractive to girls?
After lunch the next day, Mr. Anderson, who had a beautiful soul, bought it for five million earth reserves, and gave it to Gu Hanhan for nothing, and the "fog gauze doll" was sent over by the staff of the auction house.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "mighty", the boy alone has eight servants who serve him, which is twice as many as Gu Hanhan, whom Anthony claims to take good care of. In addition, there are all kinds of clothing and accessories, daily necessities, and the glass house, all of which are in sets, beautiful and expensive. Now Gu Hanhan no longer has to complain about "the house has few adults, it will become a murderous house", and the population is just directly multiplied by two. Fortunately, one of the personal valets had been prepared, and asked the housekeeper to clean an ensuite next to Gu Hanhan's bedroom in advance, and arranged for the boy to live in. Rao was like this, and it took half an afternoon to clean up.
Gu Hanhan watched this scene dumbfounded, almost grabbing his hair and going crazy - oh my God, how should I feed this baby! I already have a boyfriend who is so good at putting on a score, a "long-term patient and cheap fiancé" who pretends to be X to the point of underpumping, and now there is a beautiful baby born for aristocratic demeanor. What should I do to save them - no, who will save me!
Anthony didn't raise any objection to the sudden addition of a boy in the room, and what was even more rare was that he didn't sneer, but touched Gu Hanhan's head and said to her in a very relieved tone: "I finally saw you buy something you like and come back." ”
"That's not a thing, it's a person," Gu Hanhan corrected, "I'm going to save him." ”
Anthony smiled and said, "Whatever you want." ”
"And he didn't buy it from me, it was given by someone else. Actually, it was the auction last night......" Gu Hanhan continued to correct.
However, Anthony didn't care about the question of buying or giving away, and just said casually: "There is no difference between the two." All in all, that's how it will be in the future, just stay when you meet someone you like. ”
As a result, Gu Hanhan did not tell Anthony about meeting Mr. Poet.
After accompanying Gu Hanhan for a while, Anthony got up to deal with things, he seemed to be a little busy recently.
"We need to earn some money to buy some fixed assets to prepare for our future life at Beacon," he explained, "Sasha is useless, and I have to do a lot of things myself." ”
So Gu Hanhan avenged the blood feud he had been fighting for many days very with great relief: "It turns out that you also need to do such a vulgar and inferior thing as making money?"
Anthony tapped his fingers lightly on Gu Hanhan's head, and then went to the office.
Gu Hanhan shrugged: "I'm finally willing to make money, I don't know if it's a huge progress." ”
Gu Hanhan originally planned to take advantage of this time to go see the boy, chat with him for a while, and see how to save him, but the manservant had already come to say, "Mr. Anderson is here to visit." ”
