One hundred and thirty-eight charitable funds

After seeing Charlize return to the bathroom, Su Zhen turned his head and smiled evilly at the little gorilla in his hand, seeing that the little gorilla Taishan let out a creepy cry of unease.

But Su Zhen soon found that he didn't seem to be able to do anything to the little guy, because in his opinion, the little guy was too small and fragile, too, Taishan was equivalent to the size of a two- or three-year-old child, what could he do with it? After the last moment, Su Zhen pulled the hair off the little guy, which was a slight punishment, but it was also painful Taishan grinned, but after feeding the space water, the little guy just bared his teeth at Su Zhen dissatisfied, and did not act excessively.

So that night, Charlize had always seen Su Zhen and the little gorilla brothers, but with such a thing, Su Zhen naturally didn't want to do anything to Charlize anymore.

The next day, everyone did not go out because there was a dust storm outside, and Hamm told Su Zhen that this was a precursor to rain in the dry season, in fact, the wind was not very strong, but because of the extremely dry ground, it still caused a large area of dust storms.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a light rain to fall, bringing a trace of moisture to the arid land.

The rain was not heavy, and it lasted for a short time, it ended in less than ten minutes, and the ground after the rain looked very muddy, so several people did not plan to go out again, so Su Zhen, Charlize and Hamkarik sat under the eaves together and drank coffee, enjoying the coolness after the rain.

"Why do I feel a little cold?" Carrick said suddenly.

"It's normal, it's winter, and I don't think it's a little cool because of the drought and the scorching sun," Charlize said with a smile, knowing this as a child living in South Africa.

"Winter? It's summer," Carrick said, brainily.

"Idiot, we are now in the Southern Hemisphere, not in the Northern Hemisphere, where the United States is, and the seasons are reversed, albeit in the dry season. But for the southern hemisphere, it's really winter," Su Zhen said angrily, "Haven't you been here several times, and you don't know any common sense?" ”

"Hehe, I always thought that Africa only had a dry season and a rainy season," Carrick said with a dry laugh.

"Hehe, it's true that there is only a dry season and a rainy season, but again, the dry season is winter, and the rainy season is summer, in fact, the temperature in the dry season is lower than the rainy season, but because of the drought, it makes people feel that the dry season is hotter," Hamm explained.

"I see, I said that the dry season is hotter than the rainy season. Why is it that the dry season is winter," Carrick suddenly said, "By the way, Sue, how about we also invest in a nature reserve together?" ”

"Why did you suddenly remember this? That's a lot of investment," Su Zhen asked puzzled.

"It's great to have such a reserve, you can bring a few girls on vacation every year, and when Kari grows up, you can come back and find a companion," Carrick said with a smile.

"I don't have a problem, but if you want me to pay for it, you can manage it. And security or something, do you have any considerations? Su Zhen smiled, it's not bad to have such a protected area, and you can also bring your family to play in the future, especially Xiao Tingting. There are so many animals at home that are not enjoyable, and I always like to go to the zoo, and there is such a sanctuary, which is much more exciting than the zoo, isn't it? How can the animals in the zoo have wild spirits?

"Of course, the management aspect is simple. Just look for headhunters, and in terms of security, our family has its own security company. It's a bit more expensive, but it's more reliable to have people than to hire here, so we just have to pay for it," Carrick said.

"Yes, it is more reliable to use your own people for security, the military discipline of the mercenaries here in South Africa is really bad, and the guards of my reserve are also hired by me from Egypt, so they are much more reliable" Hamm said, in fact, if he can, of course he prefers to use his own country's soldiers, but the UAE's own labor is scarce, and the domestic labor is basically outsiders, and its own citizens basically do not need to work, even in the army, foreign soldiers account for one-third, Therefore, it is simply impossible to put precious manpower in such a corner as Africa, so we can only invite people from Egypt, which is relatively reliable among the neighboring countries.

"Money is not a problem, people are reliable is the most important thing, and you can go back and let people make a report." Su Zhen nodded, agreeing with Hamm's words, now money is just a number for him.

"No problem" Carrick nodded, took a sip of coffee and said, "And we are also contributing to the local environmental protection, there can be a lot of preferential policies, or we just build another environmental protection fund, so that it is better to manage, the funds of the reserve can all be taken from the fund, not only the preferential policies will be more, but if the operation is good, even the follow-up investment is saved." ”

"That's a good idea" Su Zhen agreed, if there is a fund, then many things will be much more convenient, and there is no need for Su Zhen and Carrick to come forward in person.

"But speaking of foundations, Theron, aren't you doing charity for children in South Africa? I happen to be going to set up a charity fund, how about I leave it to you? Speaking of the fund, Su Zhen remembered the reason why Charlize came to South Africa, so he said.

"Okay, how much are you going to put into this charity fund?" Charlize thought that Su Zhen didn't want to raise money in that way again, so he brought up this matter.

Su Zhen smiled and stretched out two fingers.

"A million?" Charlize asked, but then denied his idea, if one million is a donation, it is a lot, but it is too little to set up a fund, and sure enough, Su Zhen shook his head.

"10 million can set up a small fund, which is not bad" Charlize nodded, she thought Su Zhen was just planning to build a small fund.

But seeing that Su Zhen still smiled and shook his head, he said, "Billion." ”

"Poof!" "Poof!" On the side, Hamm and Carrick, who had just taken a sip of coffee, directly squirted out the coffee they had just drunk into their mouths, but fortunately they reacted in time and did not spray Su Zhen and Charlize, but this time the two of them choked enough.

"Billion? Dollars? Carrick, who was relieved, asked in disbelief, Hamm and Charlize also looked at Su Zhen with wide eyes, and they didn't blame them for being so gaffe, the dollars in these years are still very valuable, although it is not impossible to take out one or two hundred million at one time for charity, but one billion at one time is still extremely rare.

"That's right, a billion dollars?" Su Zhen nodded and said.

"Sue. You are crazy? Carrick looked at Su Zhen in disbelief, he thought at first that Su Zhen was going to spend tens of millions to get a charity fund for Charlize to play with, but he didn't expect it to be a billion as soon as he opened his mouth? You're kidding me, this is one-fifth of my net worth, and Hamm on the side is almost the same idea, and Charlize has been completely stunned by Su Zhen's generosity.

Su Zhen looked at Carrick like an idiot, "Don't you forget what I did this year?" Of course he won't use his own money for charity in vain, in fact, this money will not belong to him sooner or later, speaking of which Su Zhen can be regarded as

"What did you do?" Carrick was confused.

Instead, Hamm reflected that although he is not an American, he still has some understanding of some of the policies of the United States. Thinking of this year's NASDAQ storm, I almost guessed it, so I said, "Sue, are you planning to avoid taxes?" ”

Su Zhen nodded, "That's right, instead of giving this money to the U.S. government to expand armaments, it is better to use it for charity", he has benefited a lot in the stock market this year, but he has to pay taxes, because the money comes quickly. The one-time tax that needs to be paid is also an extremely terrifying number in the eyes of ordinary people, and although Su Zhen has become an American citizen, he still lacks a sense of belonging to the US government.

Originally, it would have been easy to say that democracy was still in power, but President Clinton, a Democratic Party he supports, will step down early next year. The new inauguration was Bush Jr. of the Republican Party, and this boy was a complete militant, and not long after taking office, he lost all the money that Clinton had saved up with great difficulty, and after his re-election, he left a huge deficit that was difficult to fill in the US Government. The money was basically used by this goods to expand the armament, and he was not an arms dealer, so he could not profit from it. Therefore, it is better to use this money for charity, you must know that it is tax deductible to do charity, that is to say, if the tax to be paid is one billion, but you donate one billion, then you don't have to pay a penny of tax, in fact, there are many rich people in the United States who do this, and the US authorities are also supportive of this.

Only then did Carrick react, he didn't know the specific figure of Su Zhen's profit from selling stocks this year, but how could there be seven or eight billion, except for some other tax exemptions and tax refunds, the taxes that need to be paid will not be less than one billion

"But if it's just a charity fund to help children in South Africa, that's still too much, right?" Carrick said.

"Of course, it's not just South Africa, I hope to make this fund a charitable fund for children in the whole world," Su Zhen shook his head and said, he has nothing to do with South Africa, so he naturally refuses to spend such a big price to help, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that there are too many restrictions on private charitable funds in China, he even wants to set up a fund directly for the country.

"But with such a large amount of money, I definitely don't have the ability to run it" Charlize shook her head and rejected Su Zhen's idea of letting her manage the fund, she didn't think she had the ability to manage a fund with such a huge amount of money, and if she really managed this fund, she would have to give up her film career, which was also unacceptable to her.

"It doesn't matter much, I didn't really say that I want you to manage it personally, I just want you to be a name and be an image ambassador, management is naturally to invite a professional management team, which will also help your image" Su Zhen said with a smile.

"That's no problem, I'll just say hello to the agency when the time comes" Charlize nodded, if that's the case, it's equivalent to receiving a free advertisement, and I'm happy to do so, not to mention that it can also promote my positive image very well.

"I'll also invest $100 million in this fund," Hamm said, adding that Hamm is still happy to do this kind of thing that can earn fame, and it will also help improve his international reputation.

Karika looked at Su Zhen, then at Hamm, and said helplessly, "Okay, since you have all joined, it is impossible to say that I am not joining alone, but I don't have such a big deal as yours, so I can only take 50 million at once, but I can help raise more at that time."

"Don't be reluctant, in fact, I don't plan to let others participate in this fund, there are more people, things are complicated, you can join by yourself, there is no need to raise funds" Su Zhen shook his head and said, he didn't want to let others participate at all, but since Hamm and Carrick have spoken, it is naturally difficult to refuse.

"And have you ever wondered what the name of the Foundation is?" Charlize asked.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Su Zhen asked the other three people rhetorically, he was very self-aware about the name, and he knew the name of his pet.

"It's called the World Circle Children's Foundation, right? Anyway, it's for the children of the world," Carrick said.

"I'm sorry, but the name has been used," said Charlize, who regularly follows charity activities.

"Then it's called UNICEF?" Su Zhen asked tentatively.

The other three looked at each other, which was too simple, so they changed the world to international, but they couldn't think of any good names, so they could only tentatively name it as "International Children's Fund".

As a result, it was only a cup of coffee to determine the future world-famous children's charity "International Children's Fund". (To be continued......)
