The crackling firecrackers rang out again in the early morning of the next day, An Feng buried his head in the quilt, covering his ears, this traditional year is interesting but also boring, the interesting thing is that last night they were all happy, but now when I am sleepy, I feel very annoyed when I hear these sounds.

They stayed in bed for a while, until there was a knock on the door outside, and the mother told them to get up and eat, and then they reluctantly got up. After washing, according to the habit, New Year's clothes, An Feng dressed up very simply, but Joanna tried it several times before she went downstairs satisfied.

The hall was full of people, and relatives had all arrived, chatting and laughing. When An Feng appeared, everyone's eyes focused on the two of them, which was a warm and cordial New Year greeting, An Feng responded with a smile and congratulated everyone on the New Year. Joanna followed him in the same way.

This reunion is a long time ago for my parents to Zhang Luo, after all, I haven't seen each other for many years, An Feng's career is developed, and he has helped everyone a lot, so it makes sense that they all have to come to them, so the topic is also focused on them, there are a lot of family things, those who care, and those who congratulate.

There is also a group of children running up and down non-stop, their parents and An Feng's peers, now all around his uncle and uncle, the purpose is very simple - red envelopes. Before coming, An Feng exchanged cash at the bank and put them in the red envelopes bought at the gift shop one by one.

After taking it out, the bear child's eyes naturally lit up.

An Feng pulled a chair and sat down, the basket in his hand was full of red envelopes, Joanna stood beside him, smiling: "Children, say something nice." ”

They each showed their might, some of them were as smooth as endorsements, some of them couldn't hold back a few words, and some of them specialized in selling cute and sympathetic ...... Their efforts have paid off, and every red envelope is heavy, except for the hundreds. There are also a lot of small denomination notes.

As a person who has come over, An Feng's experience estimates that there is a high probability that the whole hundred will be kept by parents - often nowhere to be found. The small denomination, ten yuan and twenty yuan, can be relatively controlled by the bear children, so after they are disassembled, the cheers are especially warm from the heart.

Even Xiaoyu after the red envelope arrived. also gave Joanna a kiss in a special way, and this cute kung fu really made her aunt laugh.

After sending out the red envelopes, the time came to the afternoon, everyone began to be busy, this time there were many people, it was expected to have two or three tables, and there were enough ingredients, my mother was too busy alone, Joanna just wanted to perform. But the third aunt and sixth wife invited her out...... Joanna grinned and dodged the work, and was praised again.

Everyone helped, moved the table, and everyone who had nothing to do came to the yard to bask in the sun, and the spring sun was warm and comfortable. An Feng's cousin also sat in front of them and talked about some things about building a school.

An Hui is a few years older than An Feng, and she thinks about things very comprehensively. She said: "With the current 20 million yuan, it is more than enough to build the school. But you didn't think it through, and the annual expenditure on the school's annual operation was a bit larger than you expected, and three million was not enough. ”

An Feng said, "What about the six million? ”

An Hui was dumbfounded, and the latter words were completely ruined by this sentence, and she almost forgot that the rich man in front of her was a rich man in US dollars.

Joanna said, "I've learned a little bit. The quality of the school is mainly due to the quality of the teachers, and in China, you trust public schools more than private schools. I was weird at first. In the UK I have always attended private public schools, except in the US. ”

An Hui nodded: "Most of them are like this, but it doesn't mean that China's private schools are necessarily bad, the aristocratic schools in some big cities are typical, but we are not doing this now, but schools that can allow children to have a better environment, teaching conditions, and teacher levels must be considered." ”

"Ten million a year?" An Feng still didn't understand.

An Hui sighed. Joanna said with a smile: "She wants to say that the teaching method determines the quality of the school, and it is not enough to work the surface." ”

"Then dig the foot of the wall." An Feng said.

"That's it." An Hui said, "I have also seen many schools, there are good students and bad students, but the essence of children is good, but the way of education and management is not good enough." In this regard, Western education is relatively advanced, but it is impossible to completely copy it in China. ”

An Feng gradually understood: "Combine the advantages, right?" Then there are many requirements here, the quality cannot be judged, but the quantity must be balanced, I think the number of students in each class in foreign schools is very small, maybe it can be done, anyway, in the early days of the school, there were not many students. ”

An Hui nodded: "Yes, only this kind of small class system of more than ten people, teachers can have more energy to take care of every child, children's thoughts and behaviors are cultivated from childhood, school and family are important places, in terms of primary school, it is better to teach and be a person first." ”

"Then you have to invest enough every year." An Feng said.

"If you can continue to invest, the school does not depend on the education system, and you can consider the model where the principal is responsible for education and management, the teachers are elected to form an educational evaluation committee, and the board of directors is responsible for the allocation of funds," An Hui continued. Of course, teacher exchange training must also be in line with international standards. ”

An Feng felt that An Hui had indeed put her mind on this, and there were many, many more of her ideas, although she could not change the current status quo of education, but she could test it from An Feng's plan. She took into account the quality of training, so the school's demand for student numbers will be reduced.

An Feng thought about it and said: "It's too troublesome for me to invest every time, but it's not appropriate to put the funds in the school and not circulate." ”

"Foundation." Joanna pulled him.

"yes, that's a good idea." An Feng said to An Hui again: "Joanna has a foundation, maybe she can support the school." ”

"It's more resource-efficient." Joanna said proudly, "My is a private foundation, in addition to charity, you can also use the funds for business investment, if the development is good, no additional donations, just the money from the business profit is enough to support the school's annual operation." ”

Elizabeth Fund currently invests in British Machinery Corporation, as a next-generation technology company, although not eye-catching, but very competitive, both civilian and military are involved, and the annual profit in the future is tens of millions - pounds. It's not a problem, part of it goes to the school, isn't it enough to operate?

An Hui's eyes lit up: "This is a very good idea, if you don't want to continue to invest money in it, it is enough to rely on the profits of the foundation." ”

An Feng said: "So, not only the operation of the school, but also to fund some domestic college students with excellent character and learning, anyway, the purpose of this foundation is to do charity and earn fame in the whole world, and it is also encouraged by the government in Europe and Asia." ”

He thought for a moment, and then said to Joanna, "We may be able to continue to invest some money in the foundation, after all, this part can be used to deduct taxes." ”

"I agree." She said.

An Hui said: "I found that you haven't seen you for a few years, kid, but your realm has improved a lot. ”

"Ha Luha, pass the prize!" An Feng smiled, "Actually, you should praise Joanna more, she is the reincarnation of the Holy Mother, and she has a heart to help the world." ”

Joanna smiled too.

An Feng then said: "How about the capital, just like the Elizabeth Fund has a representative office in the United States, and also set up a representative office in China?" ”

An Hui said: "If you set up a representative office, the procedures are more troublesome, because the history of domestic foundations in this area is not as deep as that of foreign foundations, and it is just beginning, many laws or policies are perfect, so far, there are only more than 20 foreign foundations that have set up representative offices in Chinese mainland." ”

"Troublesome?" An Feng asked.

"The registration process is quite tortuous, I happen to have friends who have been exposed to these before, not to mention foreign countries, even some domestic foundations need to go through many ways. Of course, the policies are different in different places, such as S city and B city may have better services, but other regions may not be the same. ”

Unfamiliar with these processes, Anfeng's representative office in the U.S. was handled by his assistants and a representative in the U.K., and after verifying its non-profit nature, it was successfully set up. However, I did not expect that there is a lack of applicable laws for offshore foundations, and although it is allowed in principle, the management is not perfect.

Finally, An Hui gave a solution: "Maybe you can go to Hong Kong to register, it is more accepting of Western culture, and it should be faster." ”

Hong Kong is more open than the mainland is certain, it is naturally more international, An Feng thought about it, in line with the quick point of view, Hong Kong is not bad, donating to the mainland is the same as China's domestic behavior, and accepting Hong Kong's laws and regulations is not a bad thing.

An Feng said: "I'll find a time to hang up the phone with the British side, ask them to contact the Hong Kong government, and if the problem is not big, think about it first." ”

……

Later, I learned from the British side that the Hong Kong government welcomes foreign charities to settle in, but everyone is celebrating the traditional New Year, and the government staff is not working, so they may have to delay a little later. After An Feng learned the news, he decided to let the representative office settle in Hong Kong first.

If you can in the future, set up another one in the mainland.

In this way, there are Elizabeth Foundations on all three continents, and as a transnational nature, it is clear that it must have strong strength in terms of funding.

A few million pounds is not enough, and An Feng considered donating another 100 million US dollars.

When Joanna learned of the decision, she asked, "Do you really want so much?" ”

"Think about it in terms of philanthropy and tax avoidance." An Feng has his own reasoning, "I have been earning too much money recently, and I can't use it if I hand over the money to the U.S. government, so I might as well donate it to a charity fund and be able to designate its use, although it is not my own money, but the latter is comfortable!" ”

This year, Anfeng's income is expected to reach 7 billion, the tax is 2 billion, and the deduction of business investment is also limited, and the rest is handed over to the US government in vain? An Feng is not very happy, and donating it can also offset her taxable income, and at the same time give Joanna a good reputation. (To be continued......)
