Knowing that Xiao Yang's words sounded like a compliment, but in fact he secretly ridiculed him for playing a big name, Gibson was not annoyed, apologized to him sincerely again, and wrote a check for 100,000 yuan to him on the spot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that he was full of sincerity, Xiao Yang didn't pretend anymore, thanked him, and simply accepted the check - before that, he didn't think about disgusting the other party, such as picking up other big-name directors and movie stars, and snatching the guide and actor of "Braveheart" from his hands, but that would be equivalent to a significant change in the future, and it is difficult to say whether that movie can achieve its original achievements.

Of course, he would not do this kind of stupid thing of smashing his own sign.

One more thing, Brian is right, in the Hollywood entertainment industry, friends are far more important than enemies, it's just a misunderstanding, and they don't have any deep hatred for each other, and they still want to be false and wrongful on the surface, although this guy is a bastard, but who made him a bastard who is both famous and rich? And I have to admit that this guy is still quite good at things when he's not drunk.

The money was collected, but Xiao Yang did not put it in his pocket, but beckoned a staff member in charge of the fundraising auction to come over, and handed him the check in front of Gibson, Judy, Julia, and several nearby tables: "A little heart for the people affected by the disaster...... Don't thank me, the one who really needs to be thanked is our generous and generous Mr. Gibson. ”

At this moment, everyone's eyes changed significantly when they looked at him, you must know that what everyone valued before was only his mysterious ability, and he still had a lot of criticism about his behavior of making profits, but he didn't expect him to donate the $100,000 without blinking, it seems that the character of this god stick is not as unbearable as it is rumored in private.

What everyone doesn't know is that Xiao Yang's heart is dripping blood after pretending to be forced, after all, for him, who is worth less than one million, 100,000 yuan in cash is a lot of money, but this force is not pretending, because he neither wants nor can he leave an established impression of a miser in the eyes of these stars - for these rich people who spend money is far more difficult than making money, the more you don't care about money, the more you can win their recognition, and judging from the changes in everyone's eyes and expressions, His hand did have the desired effect.

Such a bold and socially responsible move also made the superficially respectful, secretly slanderous Gibson have a great change in his impression, just as he was secretly thinking about whether to compensate Xiao Yang through other means, he heard the host of the banquet with a spoon "Ding Ding" knocked the wine glass twice, and the charity auction dinner officially began.

After a short, humorous and enthusiastic opening remarks, well-known luxury brands such as LV, Chanel, Gucci, Longines, Vacheron Constantin and other well-known luxury brands have launched their new or limited edition products for everyone to bid on (show off their wealth).

In addition, there are also many celebrities who also take out their treasured jewelry, watches or classic props used in film and television dramas as auctions, and then make friends or simply pay for their own money to shoot back, so that they can not only do favors, but also will not hurt the harmony because of malicious bidding, such as Judy and Julia contributed a limited edition LV handbag and a Cartier diamond-encrusted women's watch respectively.

In view of this, Xiao Yang, who didn't want to go through the motions as a pure spectator, also had a plan, and he was ready to take a picture of Judy's handbag and give it to her to repay her for her favor of helping him match him regardless of his previous suspicions, but judging from the eyes of Julia beside her, it may not be enough to do her favor.

After the first few rounds of bidding, under the host's continuous gags, the atmosphere on the scene gradually became lively, and the magnitude and frequency of bidding became higher and higher, often raising a lot up to several times or even more than ten times its market value.

Another point, don't think that these celebrities and celebrities are really so generous, in addition to earning a good reputation, the fundamental reason why they are keen to do charity is that they can legally deduct taxes by doing so.

As an important way of social wealth redistribution and a necessary supplement to the social welfare system, many countries, including the United States, have enacted laws stipulating that all property donated by individuals through churches, communities, legal foundations and other institutions can be used to reduce the total amount of tax they need to pay.

For a simple example, if a person's annual income is 1 million, then the total federal tax and state taxes he needs to pay will exceed 45%, and the after-tax income available for personal disposal is less than 550,000, if he donates 100,000 yuan and reports personal income tax according to 900,000, the amount of tax that needs to be paid will be reduced to about 38%, and the final disposable after-tax income will be more than before the donation, so don't look at these people who are squandering money and have a strong sense of social responsibility. In fact, like Xiao Yang, they have already asked the accountant to estimate the amount they want to donate, and they have a good idea of how much they should donate.

While chatting and laughing with Judy and the others in a low voice, Gibson had been paying close attention to Xiao Yang, seeing that he was just smiling and watching from the wall, applauding from time to time to congratulate the auction winner, but he didn't mean to raise his hand to bid, so he asked in a low voice: "Why, didn't you see what you liked?" ”

Listening to his meaning, he wanted to auction a desirable collection for himself, Xiao Yang smiled for a while and did not answer, secretly considering whether to accept his great favor again, then he listened to the auctioneer on the stage and introduced loudly: "The following is an LV handbag contributed by Ms. Jodie Foster's friendship, let us thank Ms. Foster who is enthusiastic about public welfare with warm applause...... This 91-year-old limited edition pouch was originally priced at $15,000, with a starting price of $5,000 and a minimum of $500 per bid. ”

Seeing Xiao Yang and Judy looking at each other and smiling, Gibson immediately understood, and raised his thumbs up at them respectively to show his understanding, "Since it's something you fancie, then I won't take love from me, I'm afraid that my wife will scold me for being stingy when I go home." ”

Under the halo bonus of Judy, the double actress, this handbag in good condition also won the favor of the attendees, and the bidding soared all the way, and soon exceeded the original price, and when the people who joined in the fun and brushed their sense of existence were deterred, the bidding had reached a high of 28,000.

At this time, Xiao Yang finally raised his right hand unhurriedly, "30,000!" ”
