Chapter 12: Pulling the Banner of Tiger Pila (2)
There is a cheap and not a bastard.
Why don't you drink the coffee you earn with your ability?
The man named Matthew Wheeler, who received him, boasted when he helped Han Chudong pour coffee: "We have helped a lot of people in Chinatown, and we have received assistance from me four times, in order to comply with your customs, I remember that before the Spring Festival the year before last, a colleague prepared 200 gifts to the lonely and widowed old people!"
"That's why my boss chose you as one of the donation targets. ”
Han Chudong took the coffee cup at this moment, thanked him and continued: "Recently, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has set up a project, thinking about restoring the cultural tradition of our Chinese helping each other, this time we plan to mobilize thousands of Chinatown residents, donate more if they have the strength, donate less if they don't, and give a small gift to the donors as a thank you. ”
"Really? If there is a powerful organization like yours to mobilize, it will definitely be of great help to charity. How are you going to do that, if it's a fundraiser, I think we're more experienced and can provide some people to help. ”
Early in the morning, Mr. Wheeler was in a visibly good mood when he met a donor at his door.
For a huge charitable organization like theirs, which is spread all over the United States, there is almost no amount of money, and there are so many people in need of help that it is good to get a little more donation.
Han Chudong pretended to be embarrassed, and stopped talking, and told: "Manpower ...... Don't worry, we have enough volunteers on our side and the two children's charities are willing to help. The only thing that worries me is that I won't be able to raise much money at that time, and it will make you see jokes, after all, it's not Wall Street, Beverly Hills, and people's lives are mostly difficult. ”
Mr. Wheeler took the bait.
He sat upright, looked at Han Chudong, and said righteously: "We don't care about the amount of donation, the love behind it is the most precious thing in the world, no matter how much money is or how little money is, everyone who gives love is equally great in our eyes." ”
"But wouldn't it be better to get more donations? ”
After a pause after saying this, Han Chudong organized his words in his mind before he spoke: "So, after my bosses discussed, they came up with a better way to attract donors, and unanimously decided to purchase some small gifts as prizes, write a number on each person's donation certificate, and then randomly select a few charity representatives to reward them.
In this way, you will definitely be able to raise more charity money, and after organizing the expenses, all the surplus will be donated to you to help those in need, Mr. Wheeler, what do you think?"
Staring at the word "charity," Mr. Wheeler was so dazed that he didn't even think about it.
He just nodded: "Sounds very good, simply asking for it will discourage people, and it would be nice if you added some fun, just like a charity auction, the purpose is always good." ”
"And we're going to tell donors what we're donating money to, and we're going to put it on posters, is that okay?"
"Absolutely, that's a good thing. ”
"That's fine, I'll send you the charity money in a few days, Mr. Wheeler. ”
After Han Chudong heard what he wanted to hear, he immediately got up and said goodbye, saying that he was going back to plan a charitable donation event.
As a matter of fact.
He continued to go to the Children's International School and the Children's Charity of America under the banner of the Chinese Association, and received the same warm reception as he told Wheeler.
It was already more than ten o'clock when I was done, and I didn't ask those three charities to contribute, let alone pay for the donations they sent to the door, so there was no reason to push them out.
Suddenly.
Han Chudong, who had just been an employee of the "Chinese Federation", came to visit the Los Angeles Chinese Federation as a clerk of a charity, saying that he wanted to borrow the square of Chinatown to hold a charity fundraising event.
The staff of the agency that received him agreed without thinking about it, and said that this kind of thing was not in their hands, and promised to provide two people to help, mainly to inform the surrounding merchants not to delay charity.
Walking out of the door, it was so smooth that even Han Chudong himself felt incredible, and he pulled the tiger skin to inform him everywhere, and he actually completed the most difficult part.
Let's talk about it carefully.
These four institutions will not have any losses, three can get donations, one can get a good reputation, all take advantage, how can there be nothing to find trouble.
At early eleven o'clock, Han Chudong was so hot that he took off his coat, bought a sandwich from a random store, and went straight to the car after eating it in a hurry.
The first shop I came across was Honda.
I didn't have the money to take a taxi and run farther away, so I simply swaggered into the door, the car looked ordinary, and after Han Chudong looked at the price, he decisively recruited a salesman and asked him to take him to the shopkeeper or sales manager.
The young saleswoman was a little puzzled and asked: "If you feel that you are not satisfied with this price, just tell me directly, just sold a Civic at the lowest price, although it is a new car, not too well-known, but the fuel performance is quite good." Recently, the price of oil has risen higher and higher, and it has become one of the hottest models to sell this year, so it is absolutely great to choose!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't buy it for myself, its performance has nothing to do with me, you just said the lowest price, right, how much cheaper can it be on this selling price?"
"If you buy it today, it can be cheaper by 50 US dollars, and you will also get gifts such as cushions, car dust covers, and brushes, and you can maintain them three times for free. ”
Han Chudong has no money to buy a car.
He came to buy the car as a gimmick for its "charity campaign", and if you subtract the fifty dollars, the total price is two thousand two hundred and thirty dollars.
Don't look like it's only more than 2,000 US dollars, if you calculate it according to the era when he came back in later generations, it is probably equal to more than 10,000 US dollars.
Originally, he wanted to buy a rocket-tail Cadillac for four or five thousand dollars, but he felt that it was a very loss, and if he spent too much, the money that could fit in his pocket was reduced.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he pointed to the series of cars next to him and asked again: "So if I buy two at a time, how much cheaper can I be?"
The saleswoman had a cheerful personality and replied directly: "It adds up to a total of 170 US dollars, which is the lowest price, and it is definitely not as low as us when I go to other stores." ”
It's not the kind of character who will care about a few dollars or dozens of dollars, it's not that he doesn't care about this money, and he can't bargain at all.
The mental arithmetic is good enough, and the small abacus clangs.
After Han Chudong felt that it was acceptable, he said to the saleswoman with a smile:
"I still have to talk to your boss, this time it has nothing to do with the price, it's just that I'm buying the car on behalf of three charities, and I will definitely buy the car, but the funds need to wait a few days to pay. Of course, I'm not going to drive these cars, I'm going to put them on the booth as prizes......"
