Chapter 338: Chen Geng's Difficulties

Outside the crowd, listening to Chen Geng say that the reason why he set up this foundation for overseas students in Huaxia is to have a good public image in Huaxia, Hu Jian was a little unhappy, and whispered to Ding Haijun: "Lao Ding, this Chen Geng...... Why is this so, I used to regard him as a truly patriotic overseas Chinese......"

"Mom, what did Brother Chen Geng just say?" Although he knew some English words, Ding Ruoyan, who had only heard a few words sporadically, was curious about what Chen Geng said to those foreigners, and suddenly heard his parents talk about Chen Geng, and hurriedly asked.

For Ding Ruoyan, who is just in his first year of high school, Chen Geng is simply a prince in a fairy tale, and unlike fairy tales, Chen Geng really has a castle that belongs to the prince, which is the manor where he is now.

The reason why she still insists on learning English from her mother every day, and now she has mastered quite a lot of English vocabulary, is this subconscious haze in her heart.

Hu Jinzheng was upset, and when he heard this, he waved his hand angrily: "Go, go, what are children talking about?"

The little girl immediately pouted.

Hu Jin looks at his daughter every day, he has long been annoyed by this girl, Ding Haijun is different, he hasn't seen his daughter for several months, and now he looks at his daughter everywhere, looking at his daughter's pouting mouth, he first glared at Hu Jin angrily: "You said you, what are you angry with the child?"

After speaking, he immediately said to Ding Ruoyan with a smile on his face: "Don't worry about your mother, your mother is worried now...... Didn't I tell you two days ago that Chen Geng has set up a foundation dedicated to helping Chinese students studying in the United States, and in order to ensure the smooth operation of this foundation, he will give 1 million US dollars every year, and he will also provide some international students with places every year to fully sponsor the tuition fees and part of the living expenses of these Chinese students in the United States......"

The latter words were not only said to Ding Ruoyan, but also to Hu Jin.

Before Ding Haijun finished speaking, Ding Ruoyan's face was already subconsciously full of bright smiles.

For a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, she can't imagine what a huge amount of money is 1 million US dollars, but she knows that this money is a lot, a lot, a lot, and many factories in China, or most of the factories in China, do not have so much turnover in a year, but Brother Chen Geng is willing to spend so much money every year to help those international students, which is really very, very remarkable.

Seeing his daughter's happy face, Ding Haijun felt bitter for a while: it seemed that his little cabbage had a good impression of a certain wild boar......

Thinking that the above was not only happy to see this situation, but even secretly working hard behind his back, he felt even more bitter in his heart......

But this is not bitter, for Ding Haijun, what makes him feel even more bitter in his heart is that even if he knows all this, he has to pretend not to know and continue to tell his daughter about the next situation:" Just now, Mr. Chen Geng said to these American tycoons that if anyone is willing to support the international student quota of some universities in his International Student Foundation, he will give them a predetermined cooperation quota, and Mr. Prince from Florida said that if the level of our Chinese students can reach the level of the University of Florida to recruit international students, he can sponsor Chen Geng's International Student Foundation 10 study abroad places......

Hu Jin was a little unhappy, snorted, and said: "Then why don't you tell your daughter, Chen Geng publicly admitted it in front of everyone, saying that the reason why he made this international student foundation is to leave a good public image in the country, which he just said in front of everyone." ”

Ding Ruoyan immediately turned his head and looked at his father with a look of hope.

Ding Ruoyan, like all young girls of this age, hopes that he is perfect, noble in character, and even ** without asking for anything in return, although this is unrealistic and impossible, but just like love at this stage, it is the purest and most wholehearted.

In Ding Ruoyan's heart, she understands that Chen Geng seeks profits as a businessman, but in this international student fund, she hopes that this is a pure, without any commercial or other considerations, and a flash of humanity.

Facing his daughter's expectant gaze, Ding Haijun nodded: "That's exactly what he said." ”

Ding Ruoyan's eyes dimmed instantly.

Ding Haijun originally didn't plan to explain, but looking at his daughter's depressed and lost appearance, he didn't know how, so he opened his mouth again: "But I don't think that's Chen Geng's intention." ”

Well?

As soon as Ding Haijun said this, the little girl, who was still a little lost and disappointed just now, raised her head sharply and looked at the Zhang family's father with burning eyes.

Finished!

Looking at his daughter's eyes, Ding Haijun already had a premonition that his little cabbage was getting closer and closer to being arched, but looking at his lover who also pricked up his ears and planned to listen to what he said, Ding Haijun still had to press the loss in his heart, and explained to his daughter and lover in a low voice: "That's right, Chen Geng said it in front of these people, but we might as well think about it, in this case, what can Chen Geng say? Could it be that he said that I was just to help those Chinese students?"

It doesn't make sense. At least in the eyes of these American tycoons who are accustomed to 'earning two cents without spending a penny', this practice is very unreasonable, and the only reasonable explanation is to use this money to change a good reputation in our country......"

"Hmph," Hu Jin snorted: "Speaking of which, it is still selling fame and reputation, the nature of capitalists!"

"I don't deny that there is indeed such a possibility, but we might as well think about it from another angle, $1 million a year, let's not say $1 million a year, let's just say how much can this $1 million do?" To give the simplest example," Ding Haijun raised a finger and said softly: "Chen Geng is a second-hand car, and he can buy almost 200 very new second-hand cars for $1 million. And if he uses these 200 cars for public relations in the government department, how many cars will be sent by this department and how many cars will be sent by that unit, how much convenience can this bring him? The effect is much better than 10 international student quotas and self-help some international students, right?"

Ding Ruoyan suddenly smiled, nodded again and again, and felt that what his father said was simply too reasonable.

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the truth, Chen Geng seemed to have said when he came to his house before that in the United States, the price of a good second-hand car is basically between 3,000 and 5,000 US dollars, even if the average price is 4,000 US dollars, one million US dollars can buy more than 200 good second-hand cars, and the remaining money is enough to transport these cars to Huaxia.

Just like Lao Ding said, if Chen Gengken sent these 200 cars to those departments in the capital, how much convenience would it bring him? From this point of view, it seems that he really misunderstood Chen Geng.

It's just that although he admits that Lao Ding's words are indeed reasonable, in this way, in front of his daughter, his face is a little unbearable: "If this is the case, then what is the reason for Chen Geng's doing this?"

After being silent for a while, Ding Haijun said: "I have also dealt with Chen Geng for a short time, combined with my observations, I think that this is a real patriot, he loves this country and nation very much, and he very much hopes to do something for this country and nation."

As for why he has to pay $1 million a year and provide so many part-time jobs, I remember he told me that if any country or nation wants to rejuvenate and become rich and strong, talent is the foundation and foundation, especially for a huge country in China, without talent, a large number of world-class talents to contribute to the country and nation, 'revitalization' and 'prosperity' are almost impossible.

Lao Lian and I agree with his remarks...... Well, the leaders above also think so. I believe that for a country that aims to revitalize and become prosperous, the same $1 million is much more valuable and meaningful to invest in the development of human resources than to buy a few cars.

In my opinion, the reason why Chen Geng said this in front of so many rich Americans is because he can only say this so as not to arouse the suspicion of others, and he can only say this. ”

“......”

Hibiscus was silent.

As a university professor...... Associate professor, she knows very, very well that if there are not enough talents, the rejuvenation of the country and the nation will not be talked about at all, Lao Ding is right, the same 1 million US dollars, if it is used to buy a car and give favors, it is more beneficial to the development of Chen Geng's company in China, but he chose a way that almost does not see the effect......

“...... It seems that I was indeed wrong. Pursing his lips, Hu Hibiscus whispered.

For people in this era, admitting their mistakes is not a great thing, especially Hu Hibiscus, her reputation in the education industry has always been good, not a person who does not admit mistakes, especially the idea of teaching children by words and deeds, although this is just a private discussion, but in order to set a good example for children, she still admitted her mistakes at the first time.

"Yes! Sure enough, I knew that Brother Chen Geng was the best. ”

Ding Haijun smiled slightly and pulled away from the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about this, huh...... The band over there has started to set up the scene, and it is estimated that the performance will start soon. ”

Got started setting up the show?

Ding Ruoyan heard his father say that Chen Geng invited the famous American singer Karen Carpenter to perform, and when he heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Dad, Dad, is it really Miss Carpenter of the 'carpenter brother and sister'?"

"Of course," Ding Haijun nodded with a smile, and patted his daughter's head dotingly: "Didn't I tell you, Chen Geng and Carpenter are good friends, and some time ago Chen Geng invested millions or tens of millions of dollars to make a movie with Miss Carpenter......

Seeing that the lover who pretended not to care pricked up his ears to listen to himself, although Ding Haijun maintained a casual appearance, his stomach was actually bursting with laughter: "The last time I chatted with Chen Geng, he told me that this time Miss Carpenter sang not her previous classic songs, but her songs in this movie......"

In this era, the music of foreign countries, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan is still criticized as a "glamorous sound", but Karen Carpenter and the "Carpenter Brothers and Sisters" group are different, on the one hand, they are more positive about music, on the other hand, the "Carpenter Brothers and Sisters" have now become half of the "Sino-American Goodwill Ambassadors", under the conscious promotion of the country, at least in China, the songs of "Carpenter Brothers and Sisters" have become the representatives of the king of world pop music among the student group, especially the song "Yesterday Once". more", which can be heard at almost any university's campus activities.

Ding Ruoyan is naturally no exception, and unlike her classmates, she even has a CD of a complete set of songs of the carpenter brothers and sisters over the years given by Chen Geng, plus the CD player that Chen Geng gave him in the name of "learning English" and the two 2.0 passive bookshelf Hi-Fi stereos, listening to pop music is simply not too beautiful.

Now that I heard that Karen Carpenter was going to sing a song that had not yet been officially released, not only Ding Ruoyan's eyes were full of anticipation, but even Hu Jin's eyes also had a look of expectation......

........................

Amid the applause, Chen Geng briskly came to the microphone in the middle of the performance venue and first expressed his gratitude to the guests: "Thank you for coming, as you know, Fernandez is a company engaged in car modification, repair and second-hand car sales, but recently we have been a bit out of business and co-made a movie with Miss Karen Carpenter.

The film has been approved by Mr. Reynolds, the head of distribution at Twentieth Century Fox, and will be officially released and released today.

Also, I would like to tell you a piece of news that will give you the confidence to go into the cinema: Twentieth Century Fox has prepared 3,300 screens for us. ”

There was a slight commotion from the crowd below.

It is not uncommon to make movies, many of the rich people present have made movies, but many of them only participate in movies by investing or playing tickets, and most of them have lost a lot, but a movie can be recognized by the Hollywood film giant Twentieth Century Fox, let them help run the distribution, and prepare 3,300 big screens...... It seems that Twentieth Century Fox is very optimistic about this movie.

Looking at the reactions of everyone below, Chen Geng smiled slightly: "Next, I would like to invite my best friend, Miss Karen Carpenter, a famous singer we are all very familiar with, to extend the theme song of this movie: "I Will Always Love You", I hope you like it!"
