Now that a special foundation is to be set up, Duke will certainly make the article, "Hunger is not just a specific place, it is widespread in slums, shantytowns and neglected rural areas on both continents. Hunger doesn't happen at any particular time, and the number of hungry children has been growing for many years. ”

I have to say, Pani? Kelis's message for Duke was very pertinent.

"The abolition of slavery, the end of colony, the abolition of apartheid, concern for environmental issues, and the recognition of women's rights are all major social changes of our time, beginning with promises in words and culminating in action. As we enter a new century, it is time to focus on children's issues. ”

The speech was not only an appeal, but also supported by data.

"Now, 40,000 children are dying every day, and 280,000 children are dying every week. No other natural disaster, whether floods or earthquakes, has claimed the lives of so many children. The killers of children are a number of diseases caused by hunger, the most horrific of which is dehydration caused by dysentery, which is caused by drinking unhygienic water and malnutrition. ”

Duke looked up at the seat below him and said, "These diseases are actually preventable. It only takes 6 cents to prevent dehydration in a child, and 84 cents a year can prevent blindness due to vitamin A deficiency in children! Children should be the greatest asset and the hope for the future of our world. ”

Speaking of which, Duke emphasized again, "Children are our most important resource and our hope for the future." We should not only ensure that children are able to survive, but also keep them safe from emotional, social and physical abuse. Only in this way will it be possible to envision a world free of unrest and violence. It is up to us to make this vision a reality. ”

After such a long talk, he finally turned the conversation to the newly established foundation. "d&s UNICEF is both a charitable and a humanitarian organization. It will provide both welfare benefits and, to the greatest extent possible, help those people solve their future problems. Scarlett? Miss Johnson has traveled to African countries such as Ethiopia and Sudan. She told me. In these places, instead of a hand stretched out to ask for something, one is seen in silence but with dignity and a desire for the opportunity to help oneself on their own.

"The role of d&s UNICEF is to protect children from hunger, thirst, disease, abuse and death!"

Do these things. Of course, the slogan should be shouted louder.

"Thank you!"

Putting away the manuscript, Duke bowed slightly, and walked off the stage.

There was a round of applause from the stage, as if countless hungry children in Africa had been extricated from their predicament because of Duke's words.

"Very good speech."

As soon as he sat down, Duke heard his mother's words, couldn't help but smile, and gestured to the PR manager opposite him with his eyes, saying, "I should thank Pani well when I go back." ”

"It's my job."

Pani? Kelis turned to Scarlett's side, "Honey. Your turn. ”

"I've been ready for a long time."

As the other owner of the Foundation, Scarlett? Unlike Duke, who has never been to Africa, Johnson is quite brief and often participates in some political rallies in Hollywood, so she doesn't need to draft it in advance.

Scarlett walked onto the stage, and the audience burst into warm applause.

"Thank you, thank you for your support!"

Her speech was much briefer, "We have entered the 21st century, and there are still many questions worth reflecting on. ”

Compared to an amateur player like Duke. Scarlett's burst of emotion was even more sincere, "We looked around and saw that the promises we had made in the past were still not kept. There are still many people living in poverty and suffering from hunger. Among these people I also saw children. Their swollen stomachs, their sad eyes, and their pained expressions......"

At this moment, Scarlett definitely has the level of an Oscar, "When the whole world is more connected today, we also find an ironic fact - whether the country is rich or poor. There will always be more or less children there who are suffering. Globalization has united them with neglect, abuse and lack of love. ”

"The mission of d&s UNICEF is to draw the world's attention to these children, to call them not to forget, not to fall prey to empty talk, and to help them live better," she said, pointing to the Foundation logo in the background. ”

Scarlett's eyes turned to Duke, "As director Rosenberg said, in those places in Africa, what I see is not a hand that asks for something, but silence but dignity, and a desire to have the opportunity to help myself!" ”

The banquet hall once again burst into applause.

Wait for the applause to be a little weaker, Scarlett? Johnson said with red eyes, "The world is inherently unfair. But there is only one world, and it is getting smaller and smaller, and people have to come into contact with each other more and more often. We live in such an environment that those who are rich have an obligation and a responsibility to help those who have nothing! ”

She bent down and bowed, "Thank you!" ”

Stepping off the stage, Scarlett returned to the table and sat down next to Duke again, seemingly unable to shake off her emotions and asked, "How much money can we raise?" ”

Duke patted her hand gently, "No matter how much, it's good." ”

He will not do anything with his charitable foundation like other Hollywood stars, and this will inevitably be a charitable foundation with open and clear accounts.

With Duke's net worth, there is no need to make a donation.

Many charitable foundations in the names of Hollywood stars are often goods for their own squandering under the banner of charity.

In a way, instead of trusting the charitable foundations of these stars, it is better to donate the money to the National Red Cross.

Correspondingly, it is the amount of donations from celebrities, such as how much money a celebrity publicly declares to donate to a certain foundation, and it is quite difficult to get this money to the account.

The exemplar of this is Oprah, a black woman known for her empathy and warm-heartedness, who is known for being a professional in paying her debts, and every now and then throws out a donation amount on someone's show, but only a few times it is realized.

Duke certainly wouldn't invite such a person.

Although he also has an ulterior purpose for doing charity, he never disdains to do such a tasteless thing as repaying his debts.

Of course, such a party is indispensable for a charity auction, which was presided over by a professional auctioneer from Sotheby's.

The first auction is the lot provided by the organizer.

The first thing that appeared on it was a handmade custom version of a crocodile leather bag provided by Lady Leah.

Despite the fact that the auction was held without a reserve price, the price was instantly shouted.

Sofia? Coppola was the first to raise the number plate, "Fifty thousand dollars!" ”

Right next to her, Charlize? Theron smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Sophia. ”

After speaking, she also held up her number plate, "Sixty thousand dollars!" ”

At a table in the front row, George? Lucas's current girlfriend Melody? Hobson also held up the number plate, "One hundred thousand dollars!" ”

Charlize? Theron raised his card again, "Two hundred thousand dollars!" ”

The ballroom is quieting, Sophia? Coppola just wanted to hold up the number plate, Scarlett next to Duke? Johnson gestured to the stage.

"Three hundred thousand dollars!"

Charlize? Theron frowned slightly, but didn't raise his card again.

The bag was eventually sold to Scarlett for $300,000? Johnson slapped back.

Subsequently, a pair of emerald earrings donated by Scarlett was auctioned by Duke for $400,000.

This is a charity auction, just like the original bidding, as long as there is not a deep contradiction between each other that cannot be reconciled, few people will still bid frantically to increase the price after others show their intention to win.

Of course, there will always be some exceptions, such as the next lot that Duke will bring out.

"This is Duke? A student experimental film film shot by Mr. Rosenberg before he entered Hollywood, with no reserve price! ”

In Duke's eyes, the inexplicable things he photographed at the beginning had no value at all.

But to others, it's a different story.

Especially those who want to impress Duke or remind him to pay attention to their existence.

"Mom, I want this film!"

After asking his own mother, Taylor? Swift was the first to raise the number plate, "Fifty thousand dollars!" ”

Scarlett definitely wouldn't let Duke's stuff go outside, and stood up without hesitation, "Two hundred thousand dollars!" ”

According to past experience, after she shows a strong intention to buy, there is usually no one to compete for it, but this time is an exception.

Charlize? Theron glanced at it coldly, and also raised the number plate in his hand, "Three hundred thousand dollars!" ”

Hearing this voice, Scarlett couldn't help but turn her head to look over, and at a glance she saw the unusually tall Charlleze? Theron, "Four hundred thousand dollars." ”

Back seat, Taylor? Swift's hand has moved away from the number plate, which is undoubtedly astronomical for someone like her, who has only released one single.

"Four hundred thousand dollars!" Charlize? Theron also noticed Scarlett's gaze, and only smiled.

Scarlett raised the price again, "Half a million dollars." ”
