Chapter Seventy-Two: Charity Must Be Above Board

After the snake fruit and red grape were launched, the second season of bananas and pineapples were also on the market. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

By the beginning of October, the funds for Snake Fruit and Red Grape had all arrived!

Five and a half billion!

After getting this money, Zhou Yu first paid off the loan from Bank of America!

The loan of 2.5 billion yuan, with an annual interest rate of 3.5 percent, spans three months from borrowing to repayment. Zhou Yu repaid a total of more than 2,527 million!

In other words, in just three months, Bank of America earned more than 20 million US dollars from Zhou Yu while sitting.

The farm sold snake fruit and red grapes to St. Mary's Company for a total value of six and one billion. Zhou Yu had withdrawn 600 million from Hank in advance, and if he repaid more than 2.5 billion, there would only be about 3 billion left.

Zhou Yu estimated that the three billion could not be moved lightly. The total output value of the farm this year is more than 10 billion, and the taxes that should be paid should be 500 million!

If you don't want to take out a loan when you pay taxes next year, Zhou Yu will have to save money in the next six months.

In early October, the headquarters of the International Jade Seal Charity Home for Orphans, located in the suburbs of Los Angeles, was inaugurated.

Zhou Yu comforted Tina, who was angry, and took Angie to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the official establishment of the orphan's home.

This ribbon-cutting ceremony was specially organized by Zhou Yu to be extraordinarily grand. Not only did he invite many well-known figures, but also representatives of major media in Los Angeles, California, and the United States.

The black ghost traveled down the road to the orphan's headquarters, followed by a silver-gray regular Bugatti - the bodyguards' car.

Angie sat in the passenger seat, with a little hesitation on her face: "Tina seems to be very unhappy..."

Of course not happy.

Zhou Yu handed over the charity of shaping the golden body to Anji without hesitation, which would definitely make Tina feel uncomfortable.

However, Zhou Yu smiled: "You need fame more than her." ”

It's a fact.

What is Tina's identity? Miss the daughter of an important person in the California consortium. And what about Angie? Just an ordinary American. The family can only be regarded as middle-class.

After getting along with Anji and Tina for so long, Zhou Yu didn't want to give up on anyone. It's not about love or not, it's about a man's dignity!

He didn't want Angie or Tina to leave him and lie in another man's arms!

That's the terrible thing.

Therefore, Anji's identity must be elevated. This is an explanation from Zhou Yu to her!

But again, it's also a form of bundling.

"Moreover," Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Anji, Tina comes from a different background, her father is an important figure in the consortium and is naturally sensitive to business. In the future, I may gradually hand over some business investment matters to her, and when the time comes, you can't make a fuss. ”

"No, it won't." Tina glanced at Zhou Yu: "I'm that kind of person!" ”

Zhou Yu smiled and didn't speak.

Angie said, "I'm a little nervous... So many big names, so much media..."

"Why be nervous?" Zhou Yu took out a free hand and pinched Anji's nose: "You have to have confidence, because I'm behind your back!" ”

"Hmm!"

...

The headquarters of the orphan's home is said to be located in the suburbs, but it is actually not remote. Los Angeles is a cosmopolitan city, and even if it's a suburb, every inch of land is at a premium.

It is simply impossible to get a free piece of land from the city.

And here, it's already pretty good.

The headquarters is not tall, with only three floors in total and an area of less than 1,000 square meters. Because it is not used for commercial purposes, there is no need for high-rise buildings.

If a skyscraper is built, the orphan's home will not use so much space, and it may have to be rented out, and it will be criticized at that time.

According to Zhou Yu's meaning, if you want to do it, you have to make an appearance.

Although his purpose is not pure, he will not be honest on the surface.

The headquarters of the orphanage on the third floor, the overall layout and color are all in light yellow warm colors, giving people a warm and kind feeling. In line with the purpose of the orphan's home.

And the gate is not luxurious and solemn, this is an orphan's home, not a court!

Instead, it looks very plain and close to the bottom.

By the time Zhou Yu arrived, it was already crowded.

Many people who learned about the news on the Internet or through other channels accounted for the majority. There are even many tourists who come to the summer and use it as a temporary attraction.

In addition to these people, there are also the media.

Media outlets large and small came.

Some came by themselves, and some were invitations sent by Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu arrived, some important people had not yet arrived. After all, important people always come out at the end.

The black ghost stopped, Zhou Yu took the lead in getting out of the car, went to the other side to open the car door, and greeted Anji, who was dressed in full costume and wearing jewelry, very gentlemanly.

The bodyguards in the car behind immediately got down and gathered around the two of them.

As soon as Zhou Yu appeared, immediately, the flash of the media clicked and lit non-stop.

A red-carpeted straight road leads from your feet to the entrance of the orphan's home headquarters.

Zhou Yu held Anji's forearm, confident and smiling, waving to the reporters and crowds on both sides, and slowly walked by.

The swarm of reporters was unyielding, but was stopped by the bodyguards. But Zhou Yu still stopped, smiled and said loudly: "After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, there will be a special press conference, don't worry, there is an opportunity." ”

Some tourists in the crowd who came from the summer hurriedly took out their cameras and took pictures excitedly.

Also excited to talk.

"He's the farmer?"

"It should be him, you look at these media, it seems like crazy!"

"This man is amazing!"

"Yes, in the United States, there are probably not many Chinese Americans who are as sought after as him. And most of them are stars, which can't be compared with him. ”

"Take a few more photos, remember to go back and send a scarf, so that people in China can also see the majesty of our Chinese people overseas!"

...

Zhou Yu walked across the red carpet with Anji in his arms and entered the headquarters hall.

Among them, several guests have already arrived.

Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped forward with Anji to greet and talk with him, and there was a harmonious atmosphere.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Yu looked at his watch, apologized to the guests who were talking, and took Anji out of the headquarters and came to the end of the red carpet, waiting quietly among reporters and onlookers from the passing party.

After a while, a silver-gray Ferrari drove up, and a blonde young man got out of the car with a tall beauty in his arms.

"Hey, my brother!"

It was Joel who arrived.

Zhou Yu hugged him: "Punctual enough." ”

"That's," Joel laughed, shook Angie's hand, and said, "Who am I?" The world's most handsome guy, how can he be late? ”

Not many passers-by know Joel's identity, but the media knows a lot.

"The heir to the Lockheed family!"

I don't know which reporter revealed Joel's identity, and immediately, it caused people's amazement.

I don't know why, especially foreign tourists, I can't help but hurriedly ask, only to know that this is the ruler of Lockheed Martin, the largest arms company in the United States, and the heir of the Lockheed family!

For a while, the eyes were even more amazing!

"I didn't expect him to have such a good relationship with the heir of the Lockheed family!"

"I heard that he owns Lockheed shares, it's definitely not groundless!"

"That's amazing! Awesome on each side! He's Chinese! ”

Amid the noisy buzz, soon, a second limousine arrived, and it was Esshara Walton.

Immediately, the socialite was recognized!

"It's Aishara Walton of the third generation of the Walton family!"

"Hey, he even has something to do with Walton, my God, who the hell is he!?"

People were even more amazed.

Subsequently, the arrival of some figures in the California consortium and California Governor Jerry Brown, as well as the Democratic nominee candidate Mrs. Hillal, pushed the atmosphere to the climax!

At this time, everyone's eyes looking at Zhou Yu had completely changed!

This is not a fat sheep, but a big capitalist who already has deep roots!

"Madame, welcome!"

Zhou Yu and Mrs. Hilal hugged gently, showing a very close relationship, and then said with a smile: "With your support, the orphan's home will get better and better, and orphans all over the world will be grateful to you." ”

Hillal smiled: "Charity is the cause of all mankind, the government absolutely supports it, and I absolutely support it." ”

Then Zhou Yu hugged Brown again: "Mr. Governor, thank you." ”

Brown has contributed a lot to the arrival of Al-Hilal.

Of course, this is also a good opportunity for Hillal to be exposed - she is in the midst of a fierce confrontation with Nader Prang, and charity can give her a more gorgeous cloak and give her more supporters in terms of public opinion.

"Zhou, I only hope that you can continue to do this business that only invests and has no income. I look forward to the future of the orphan's home! ”

"I promise!"

The group walked across the red carpet and came to the steps at the gate of the headquarters.

The guests inside also came out at this time, each surrounded on both sides.

Zhou Yu took the lead and walked up to everyone, with a confident and heroic face and a tall and tough posture, which was completely presented.

He took the microphone and said: "There are many unsatisfactory things in this world, war, disease, and poverty. But I think that those orphans who were abandoned by their parents are the most worthy of our pity. ”

God brought them into this world, not for us to abandon them! Parents abandoned them, but the world shouldn't abandon them! ”

After only two sentences, fierce applause erupted.

It took a long time to calm down.

"I empathize with the plight of orphans. In fact, in a way, I can also be counted as an orphan. ”

Zhou Yu's voice was slightly lowered: "Some media friends should have dug into my past. I was born in the countryside southwest of Great Xia, and I had a happy family until I was eight years old. But my parents, when I was eight years old, left me. At that time, I must have been an orphan. Thankfully, there was my grandfather. We depend on each other. But last year, my grandfather passed away due to some accident. ”

"I can already be said to be a loner in this world. Sometimes, I have the illusion of loneliness and desolation. But I succeeded after all. ”

"A lot of people know that I make a lot of money, and in a sense, I'm really successful."

"But many orphans in the world can only wander away from the public, they don't even have a way to succeed, and they can't even grow up safely."

"So, I thought, I should do something for them!"
