Chapter 196: Donations and Privileges

Roy doesn't like hypocritical socializing and socializing, and it is more intoxicating and inflated than a charity party that is sitting on the front of the coffin, or a group night banquet that is in line with the dreams of otaku. Moreover, he really didn't have time to attend all kinds of banquets, and if he was stumped by social interactions every day, he wouldn't have to do anything.

He is now more inclined to use his prestige to maintain his network. A man who has billions of assets and has made a name for himself in business does not need to deliberately make friends with powerful people, Corporal Lixian.

What's more, who has real talent and learning, and who is in vain, Roy can't figure it out, and professional work has to be handed over to professional HR to screen.

However, there are exceptions, Roy must not be able to escape the donation activities that are particularly topical, otherwise he will be labeled as rich and unkind by the media, so he plans to entrust Alice to attend some special gatherings, important gatherings, and charity gatherings. With Alice, a woman with a firm position, not only can she not suffer, but she can indirectly highlight Roy's high style, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

It's just that Roy is really entangled in the cultural concept of not getting used to large donations, and he is always inexplicably worried that his donations will not be answered, not properly applied, and not benefiting people in need.

If you donate 10 or 8 yuan, it doesn't matter, do your best and don't ask for anything in return, but what if you donate 100,000 or 80,000 yuan?

No one's money is blown by the wind, it is all earned by one's own luck, wisdom, and hard work, and the richest man in the world will not feel that he has too much money, let alone Roy, who has a small goal of becoming the richest man in the world.

So Roy was calm on the surface, and asked anxiously in his heart, "How much money was donated?"

Alice had a faint joy on her face and explained: "According to your worth ranking, I only donated 5 million according to the usual practice, not more, not less. ”

Fake! 5 million! It's not worth 5 million to sell you!

Roy felt his heart bleeding, his heart was greatly traumatized, his palms trembled slightly unconsciously, and his brain was already in a state of shutdown.

Alas, when I wanted to start my own business, I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother, said all the good things, and broke the dog's leg, so that I was pitiful enough to melt into 1 million, and what was even worse was that I also scored half of Randolph's melon skin teammate. It was a very difficult time.

Now he threw 5 million out in one night, and he didn't even hear a sound of drifting, which is too much.

"Boss, are you alright?" Alice couldn't help but care when she saw that Roy's face didn't seem right, as if she was sick.

Roy struggled to look at Alice and asked with all his strength, "To whom?"

"It's a pancreatic cancer non-profit organization, because of a cute little girl, the media is reporting every day. ”

Pancreatic cancer? Is there breast cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, AIDS, leukemia...... In addition, there are various churches, government officials campaigning, earthquake-stricken areas, and United Nations relief ...... And so on are waiting for me to donate? There are also colleges and universities, scientific research institutions, non-profit organizations...... Are you waiting for me to donate?

Roy, who was thinking of danger in times of peace, suddenly felt five thunderbolts, and now realized that the money he earned was not qualified to be squandered generously in the field of charity, and it was even more distant to save the people of the world from the sea of suffering.

Roy's right hand grabbed the heart hard, made up his mind to break his wrist, and made a trembling decision: "Alice, I will spend another 5 million for you to publicize my good deeds last night through the advertorial of media channels." Suddenly, he went on to emphasise: "I must implicitly express my self-improvement, hard and simple life, and my lack of cash." ”

5 million?!This time it was Alice's turn to be surprised, this is not too frustrating. "Then I'll ...... Do you still want to go to ......?"

"We must donate money for hot disasters caused by public opinion, and donate less for other messy organizations...... Ahem...... It's not easy to make money, dear, we haven't reached the stage where we don't take money as money. You may not understand my feelings, I still have countless companies I want to invest in, but I don't have any money!" Roy poured out emotionally, and he almost cried and questioned God's injustice.

"I ...... Understand...... Finish. The joy in Alice's heart faded a little, and her heart turned a thousand times. Although she said that she understood, she was actually full of doubts about Roy's behavior. A thought occurred to her that was why she couldn't reach Roy's height.

When Alice left, Roy lay on the boss's chair, in addition to feeling distressed that he could support 100 young and beautiful college students who were busy all night and night, and the money was gone, more importantly, he knew in his heart that the goals of the rich and the poor were different.

This uncommon sense operation is a shortcut for him to imperceptibly accumulate social capital, and it is the correct operation of the "rich".

Then, in April 2017, a confidential memo from within Harvard Business School, reserved for senior faculty members, was leaked and published in the May 6 issue of The Economist magazine. (Appendix 1)

The memo lists Harvard Business School's current annual revenues of $750 million, with an annual growth rate of 8 percent, and total assets of $5 billion.

Of these revenues:

With 17% coming from tuition, the College of Business has a total of about 2,000 students, with tuition fees of more than $70,000 per student per year.

Twenty-three per cent came from short-term training courses for entrepreneurs. The memo is very real, entrepreneurs get two benefits from these training courses – one is to get a little "proper stimulation" to the mind, and the other is to be able to call themselves Harvard alumni from now on.

29% from copyright. Harvard Business School sells a lot of books, and the most important copyright income comes from the business school's "case studies."

The last 31%, and the largest source of income, is donations.

However, the rich donating money to prestigious schools and museums, and ordinary people donating money to out-of-school children, but these are two completely different concepts. Ordinary people donate out of love, while rich people donate out of selfishness to a large extent, which can also be called "rationality".

Huge donations to prestigious universities and museums were a sign that this man, and even his family, had entered high society. Donations are tickets, and charity auctions are fraternities of the rich.

U.S. universities and museums provide donors with a social network and even social status. As long as you donate money, you are a "friend". If you donate a certain amount, you are a "partner". If you donate more, you can also enjoy the "creator" treatment and have the right to speak. Of course, there is another "rule" that does not become, that is, the children of those who make huge donations to prestigious schools will definitely be able to enter this prestigious school in the future.

Of course, if you follow the ethics of Chinese universities, this should be called **. However, if it is a private school, it does not cost the government and taxpayers' money, so it is difficult for the public to say anything.

In order to encourage the rich to donate money, the core gameplay of the game is to give various privileges to donors, so when Roy has the capital to donate, it is when he can enhance his privileges in all circles of society.

That's why he still has to do it.

As soon as Alice left, Fan Xiao came one after another, her face was serious, and her tone was quite displeased, "Roy, Alice donated 5 million without authorization yesterday!"
