Chapter 929 - Illegitimate Sub-Fund (Plus Update)

In a political environment like the United States, whether it is a mayor or a governor, you must have a good relationship with the wealthy class in the region, otherwise you will not be able to move an inch. Although these rich people do not have many votes, they can rely on the capital in their hands to influence the outcome of the election, the simplest is public opinion. Although public opinion refers to the voice of the majority of the people, it has never been in the hands of the people, and it is the same all over the world. Due to the relative asymmetry of information, the higher class can often obtain the true image of things, but whether this true image is ultimately known to the common people depends on their needs.

Whether it's a TV station or a newspaper or a radio station, it's ultimately in the hands of these rich people, and if they don't want to let certain statements affect the people, then they will have many ways to interfere, block, and disrupt. Even in a country like the United States, where the legal provisions are more detailed, public opinion can still be artificially manipulated, but at a higher cost, so that no one will arbitrarily manipulate public opinion, and the people can still know part of the truth, which can be regarded as a kind of fairness in a relative sense.

For Hong Tao, a foreigner, the mayor does not necessarily have to please, but for the rich Americans like the Richards and the Hilton family, he must give face, even if he and Hong Tao are enemies, he must finish this transition with a smile. Besides, he and Hong Tao have no enmity, it is much more cost-effective to befriend a billionaire than to offend a billionaire, maybe one day Hong Tao will become an American!

Nationality is a thing that basically loses its meaning to people who have reached a certain level of wealth. If Hong Tao goes to the USCIS now to apply for U.S. citizenship. It will never be rejected, even if it is too late to do it at the time. I'll have to send you home afterwards. If the immigration bureau does not give face, the mayor of New York will immediately make Hong Tao an honorary citizen of New York for life. Because if Hong Tao settles in New York, it will bring a lot of taxes and a lot of invisible income. The federal government can ignore the money because it doesn't reach the federal government, but the mayor is not in the federal government's hands, and the federal government doesn't cover the City's budget.

Richard and his wife have worked so hard for themselves, and Hong Tao of course wants to repay the favor. Whether they want to highlight their daughters or not, whether Hong Tao is interviewed by TV reporters or newspaper reporters, he always takes the Paris sisters with him, and he will never talk too much about letting them answer for themselves. If you can let them stand in front of you and take pictures, you will never stand on both sides.

Fame is useless if there are too many, and now Hong Tao is almost known in New York. This time he is not famous for fighting in the game, nor is he famous for fighting lawsuits with reporters, nor is he famous for his title of a globetrotting adventurer, he is a playboy with unique tastes in the eyes of the New York people, and this is the first time that Hong Tao has made headlines because of a scandal. A few days ago, when he and Casey's mother and daughter were riding on a sailboat, the scene of giving Mrs. Hilton a personal massage on the boat was directly photographed by reporters. appeared on the cover of the "New York Times" the next day, allowing this strict newspaper to put such a thing as scandal on the cover, and Hong Tao is one of the few people.

Local television stations even showed a few videos of them splashing in the water near Jones Beach, including some of the more intimate physical contacts. However, these media are still relatively limited. Only the pictures and photos of Hong Tao and Mrs. Hilton were disclosed, and the photos and pictures of Paris and Nikki's contact with Hong Tao were not released at all. The awareness of the protection of minors has been ingrained in their minds. Whoever dares to cross the line is the enemy of society.

For this result. The Richards did not react, and the Hilton Group remained silent. Hong Tao naturally won't take it seriously. Even if he did have something to do with Casey, he didn't feel like he should explain anything to anyone, let alone explain it this time. Even if he needs to explain, it is Casey who will explain to Richard, but looking at Richard's attitude towards himself, it is estimated that he does not need Casey to explain anything to him. Don't look at the fact that the couple is not good at educating their children, they don't have much real skills, and they linger in the colorful nightlife all day long, but according to Hong Tao's side from the Paris sisters, the relationship between their husband and wife is still very strong, and they rarely quarrel, they can be regarded as a very loving couple.

When Giuliani praised Hong Tao, especially Paris and Nikki, for their brave and adventurous spirit, Hong Tao's little eyes were finally free from the flash and were almost blinded! He wondered how big-eyed girls like Paris and Nikki could resist the attack of flashing lights, and could this thing have to be trained from an early age? Or did they have special contact lenses beforehand? While pondering this question in his heart, the Mad Mouse finally slowly left the dock under the escort of several yachts, raised the rat-headed sail again, and slaughtered the mouth of the Hudson River.

If you want to say that New Yorkers really love to watch the fun, there are so many profiteers! A broken sailboat sails, if you are curious, you can watch the TV broadcast at home, they have to run to the shore to join in the fun. Starting from Brookfield Plaza and ending at Battery Park, many New Yorkers gathered along the way, spontaneously holding American, Canadian or five-star red flags to see off the Mad Mouse. In addition, there are many single-deck or double-decker small passenger ships on the river, a few of which take tourists to Liberty Island to see the statue of Liberty, and most of them follow the Mad Mouse for a simulated circumnavigation of the world. Each person boarding the ships will pay $39.9 and follow the Crazy Mouse all the way to the shores of Long Beach.

Why does Hong Tao know the price so clearly? Because 9.9 of the $39.9 ticket price is automatically donated to the Crystal Fund, which is also the first contribution made by the executive director, Mrs. Casey, to the Crystal Fund. She brought this deal, don't underestimate the $9.9, you can't stand the crowd. Hong Tao probably counted, there are at least more than 30 small passenger ships, most of which are double-decker, according to 100 people per ship, this is 3,000 people. $30,000 is in the blink of an eye, and it's the same as for nothing, and that's the benefit of being famous! Fame is a thing that can sometimes be equated with money.

In fact, this little money is just an appetizer for Kathy, and the big head is still at the evening drinking party. Since the group of celebrities on the dock have all come to New York to show up, then don't be in a hurry to leave, it is reasonable to get together again in the evening, and whoever does not participate is looking down on everyone, so as long as there are no sick people at home and the house is not on fire, they have to participate. Ordinary people have to get some small gifts to participate in the completion ceremony of their neighbors' new homes.

Although there is no account for the fund now, as long as you pledge 5,000 yuan, this money will be given away, and when the account is good, the staff of the Crystal Fund will send you a notice, don't think about repaying the account, dare to give a penny less, this is a scandal! Those reporters are looking for this information every day, and no one will make up for the scandal because of this money.

As for how much donation he would eventually get, Hong Tao didn't inquire at all. He didn't do it for money, nor did he make a name for himself. These two things are just a rabbit piggybacking on the grass, as long as he can spend the money on his future children and the child's mother in a reasonable and legal account, he will feel content. It is normal to lose millions of operating costs a year, and if you don't lose money, it is abnormal, then it means that the foundation's business volume is very small and there are not enough employees hired! That is to say, you have not gained enough in the global planting plan, and you can even say that you have a physical problem, which is much more than the loss of several million dollars! Therefore, the higher the annual operating cost of this foundation, the happier Hong Tao is. Of course, there must be no problem on the books, and ordinary people can't do any tricks. The Crystal Fund's accounts are audited not only by its own accountants, but also by Crystal Orchid Capital and a private independent accounting firm of Hong Tao, and unless they all collude, not a penny will be spent.

This is only the operating costs of the foundation, plus Hong Tao's compensation for those women and the living expenses of his children, according to conservative estimates, the average annual expenditure within six years is about 10 million, and it will reach 50 million after 14 years, and directly exceed 100 million after 17 or 8 years.

Because at the beginning, it was only Hong Tao's temporary mistresses who needed to be taken care of, and within a year, they became mistresses and children, and they had an extra living expenses and book expenses. After fourteen years, it is time to end compulsory education and go to high school, and the cost has been doubled several times, and by the time the children start to go to college, the cost will be doubled again, after all, there are not many countries where college is free, and the tuition still has to be paid.

This number is only a conservative estimate, and the big error depends on the threshold of Hong Tao's selection of objects. If he lowers the threshold, the money will be doubled in an instant, and if he raises the threshold, the money may not be spent. Coupled with the uncontrollable hit rate of manpower, it is really difficult to accurately calculate the specific amount of this money, at most it is accurate to within one million. If Hong Tao's plan is fully displayed in front of the public, then he will immediately become the public enemy of most people in the world, and he will be too capable of losing his family! Spending hundreds of millions of dollars every year to support mistresses and illegitimate children! This is too contrary to the common perception in society. At that time, some people will accuse Hong Tao of being a scum who is not benevolent to the rich, a bastard with no social responsibility, and a large number of poor people who do not go to relief, but give birth to so many illegitimate children for himself all over the world, what is the intention!
