After the holidays, the Links will of course get back busy.
But only a few days after they returned to the United States, they both received the same invitation.
Jessica learned that Link had received the same invitation and told him, "On the afternoon of February 4th, I still have time. But are we all going to go?"
Link thought for a moment and said, "I'm definitely going to go, if you plan to go too, go with you." The children are a little older now, too. β
Jessica nodded and said, "Then I'll go with you." She said this, jokingly. "I don't want to see the news of our mood going on anymore. β
Before, because the child was still young, Jessica was not at ease, no matter which of the two of them wanted to participate in any entertainment, she had to leave one person at home. It is rarely said that two people attended the same occasion together. Whenever a reporter photographed them acting alone, the media said that their husband and wife had a love change.
Link smiled and said, "They can say whatever they want." This time it was an event in Seattle and we could have made it home in the evening. β
The couple received an invitation letter from UICC (International Organization Against Cancer) and HO (United Nations Health Organization) to participate in the "World Cancer Day" charity reception with the theme of "Caring for and Creating Hope".
Typically, invitations like this will only be sent out by a couple. I don't know if the two organizations felt that their husbands and wives were worthy of an invitation, or if they wanted two donations, but both of them were specially invited.
Jessica laughed, "Or maybe they're worried that if they invite one of us, the other won't go." Or maybe you want to receive an extra donation. β
If you go to the charity reception, of course, you must be prepared to donate.
Link laughed and said, "I don't think they're going to be like that." "Both of them are world-famous billionaires. The fact is that in the world, it is extremely rare for both husband and wife to be so rich and have their own businesses instead of transferring assets.
"Then we donate in the name of husband and wife. How much do you think is appropriate?"
"Can we donate less?" Link chuckled. "If it's too little, tomorrow's headline will be 'Hans and his wife are stingy'. β
As the richest man, there are many times when you have to be 'angry'.
Jessica smiled and said, "Then I'll study the donation records of previous years." β
If you donate less, you will be said that if you donate too much, it will be difficult to operate in the future. And their money is not blown by the wind.
In the past two years, a charity has sent them invitations if they want to raise donations. If the specifications are not enough, they ignore them, and if the specifications are larger, and they are interested, they will send an assistant to donate a little money. If it's a fundraiser organized by a worldwide organization, they will consider whether to go or not depending on the schedule.
However, this time it was jointly invited by two world-level organizations, and Link felt that he was going to go. If he doesn't attend such charity events, what else can he say about charity?
In the eyes of ordinary people, such activities are mainly for fundraising. But in the media, it can be interpreted as a collective effort to prevent and treat cancer, and it is not just about paying money.
He doesn't want to be portrayed by the media as indifferent to charity.
Now that they've decided to participate, the Links have to prepare for the event. That kind of occasion is undoubtedly high-end. Link can be casual, but Jessica has to wear a gown. And both of them decided to attend, the two are husband and wife, and their dress and image should match.
So the next day, Jessica called her personal image design team and asked them to design an image for her and Link, and when it was decided, she had to customize the dress.
"What do you think of this set, dear?". The image design team designed three sets of dresses for the couple to choose from. Jessica took a fancy to the pearl-white glossy five-shoulder suit, and Link paired it with a milky white suit. What she asked was if Link was happy with the suit. "Are you happy with the color and style?"
Link looked at it for a moment and said, "It's pretty good. That's it. I look at all three sets well, or I have done them all. β
Jessica didn't object either. Although the two of them will make a set of at least 100,000 US dollars. But that money was no different to them than a napkin. It's just that they don't use banknotes as napkins.
Link thought for a moment, and then asked, "This dress is light in color, do you have a suitable outfit for it?"
"Just use that set of red jadeite jewelry. There's a badge, there's an earring, there's a necklace and a bracelet, and it's perfect with that ruby ring. Jessica said with a question in mind. "But wouldn't it be too ostentatious to dress then?"
"When are we going to give more money than we're wearing?" Link said indifferently. "Those things, let them say whatever they want to say. Is it because there are poor people in the world that we have money and wear worn clothes?"
Hearing him say this, Jessica also smiled and said, "We don't necessarily wear the most expensive clothes." β
That kind of occasion is actually an occasion where women are richer than men. When Link appeared, the men naturally didn't have to be richer, but she wasn't necessarily prettier than all the women in attendance. After all, there will be a lot of female stars on the stage. However, she may be a little inferior to those female stars in terms of makeup, but that's because she has never liked heavy makeup.
Besides, what if she's not the prettiest? She has the richest man in the world, and she's worth billions of dollars, the richest woman in the world who has become rich by starting a business. So she doesn't feel like she's going to lose to any woman.
Although she was able to become a billionaire in large part because of Link, the effort she put into the process was enough for her to not feel inferior in the slightest.
Now that the two have decided, Jessica told the image design team about their decision.
Next, the two of them had to discuss how much to donate.
Jessica checked the donation history of the past year and said, "They haven't invited us before. The largest donation in previous years was $10 million. Based on this number, I think we should donate 20 million or more. But some people don't necessarily think that's appropriate. Or we'll donate $40 million. β
Since this fundraiser is an individual, the donation is of course in the name of the individual.
Link nodded and said, "Then 40 million!"
Jessica thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, I think you might be able to set aside a special fund from the Hans Foundation to fund those cancer research teams." Maybe that's more eye-catching than your donation. β
The Hans Fund has a lot of money right now. Link needs to avoid taxes every year, and every year he donates a lot of money to the Hans Foundation and Fren's Fund. Because his income was too high, the Hans Fund couldn't run out of money. Money that is not included in the Swap Charity Account will be invested in the financial investment company to generate money.
Then, of course, Hans Capital has more and more money.
Of course, in the past two years, Link has also invested more and more in charity. He has now become the world's largest individual philanthropic donor.
Link thought for a moment and said, "That's a good suggestion. I'll get Morris to add them to this program in this year's fund program. β
Every year on February 14th, the Hans Foundation announces its charitable plans for that year. This year's plan is ready, but Link hasn't signed it yet.
"I think $100 million a year should be enough. β
As for how much Link plans to invest, Jessica doesn't plan to say anything else. But she said, "Or I'll donate a little bit every year to this charity account." In addition, the Benehans Group also donates some. β
Link nodded and said, "You can just call the shots about these things." "Jessica is still the president of the Benehans Group. Benihans's affairs, Link basically will not take the initiative to intervene.
Their dresses are not yet ready. Something that didn't have a good opinion happened to Fox.
On this day, Link stayed home with the children when he suddenly received a call from Jessica.
After hearing Jessica's words, Link laughed and said, "You mean Dick had an affair with his female assistant, and was caught stealing [3] love in the office by his assistant's husband?"
Link's Dick was an old man at least sixty years old. However, this old man is the mayor of Fox, and because of the rapid development of Fox, this old mayor was re-elected.
It's just that Link didn't expect that this old mayor would have an affair with a married woman, and he was caught in the office in the spring [3] palace. It seems that this mayor, he doesn't want to be either.
However, although Link has no bad feelings towards this Dick mayor, he also has no good feelings.
It's just that if this Mr. Mayor gets into trouble, the third phase of the Werewolf Theme Park that Link is applying for approval will be delayed. Perhaps it will not be approved until the mayor is forced to resign and re-elect the mayor.
