Chapter 1314: Han Banner World (4) Charity Foundation
Jicheng has a famous painter, this period of time can be said to be a hundred times the net worth, a large number of billboards need to be painted by them, and then race against time to set up, now the construction team has set up a piece of iron shelves, is waiting for them to come up with the works!
Just when Jicheng was still talking about this grand auction, another more shocking news spread rapidly in Jicheng's political and business circles.
The three princesses set up a charitable foundation, as the name suggests, this is still a very novel institution in the ears of the Han people, it is natural to do charity, in recent years, the three princesses have taken private money out to do good deeds has been the norm, and now it is not surprising that a special agency is set up to do this kind of thing.
What makes the people of Jicheng crazy is that the date of the establishment of the charitable foundation is set for the first night of the ceremony, which will be held in the form of a banquet, but there are only two hundred invitations. There are more than 2,000 people who want to go to this banquet, because of the ceremony, almost all the people with status in the counties and counties of the Han Dynasty have gathered here, and they can get the invitation, which is a symbol of status, and it is a very simple assumption, if two businessmen engaged in the same industry, one gets the invitation, and the other does not get it, in the years of competition in the future, the other will inevitably be a lot higher.
The person who handed out the invitations was Mei Pu, the eldest son of the governor of the Central Bank of Dahan, who was now in charge of all the business of the three princesses.
Immediately, Mei Pu's Jicheng Mansion also suffered the same fate as Huo Xiaolin, the Minister of Culture and Propaganda some time ago, and it was even worse than Huo Xiaolin. Those who have the courage to climb Huo Xiaolinmen are naturally the top figures of the Han Dynasty, but there are many people who have the courage to come to Mei Pu.
In those days, among some people in Jicheng, the greetings to meet each other are no longer eaten. But did you get the invitation? Of course, those wealthy families don't have to worry about this, Mei Servant will naturally send invitations to them, and the real ones who are fighting are those who can't go up or down.
Gao Yuan sat at the small table with a wry smile, watching his three ladies rummaging through the room, finding everything they thought was meaningful.
"Big brother, you won't have a chance to fight on the battlefield in the future anyway, so why don't you just sell that armor? Instead of placing in the palace. Why don't you sell some money to do some good deeds? Ye Jing'er asked.
"Good, good!" Gao Yuan nodded, that armor was his first pair of armor, or it was given to him by Zhang Shubao, the second son of the Taishou of Liaoxi, who had been with him for several years, and that armor was scarred, although it was not in shape, but it had been treasured by Gao Yuan.
"Wei Yuan, bring the armor here." Ye Jing'er waved her hand. Shouted.
"The big knife and the military stab are also sold!"
"Okay, it's sold, it's sold, anyway, the battlefield won't be with me in the future, out of sight and out of mind." Gao Yuan waved his hand again and again.
Ye Jing'er pursed her lips and smiled. With a wave of his hand, these two items immediately joined the ranks that would be auctioned. In the past two years, under Gao Yuan's suggestion. She started doing some philanthropic work, which in her opinion was also a contribution to the high fame. But there is a big problem that is bothering her, and that is the lack of money.
In the past, she thought that the light of the Han had shone to every corner, because now the Han is showing a thriving world outside, but when she began to get in touch with the charity industry, when she walked out of the palace gate and walked among the people in need, she really found that even if the sun was shining, there were dark corners that could not shine, even if she just walked around Jicheng, what she saw shocked her.
This is also one of the reasons why she is really determined to devote herself to charity, and when she wants to solve these problems by herself, she finds that even if she is the princess and the mistress of this kingdom, many problems are not something she can solve, and all she can do is to do her best to help these people.
Not enough money is Ye Jinger's most intuitive feeling.
When she talked about this problem to Gao Yuan in great distress, Gao Yuan told her that the power of one person is limited, and if you can set up an organization to gather more people around you, and the big guys can do this together, you can solve more problems.
Dahan's first charitable foundation was born under this circumstance.
"Big brother, who will the invitations be sent to? Well, I think we should give Minister Wang Wuchang a card, he is the Minister of Finance, and we will have to ask him for more support in the future! Ye Jing'er asked.
"What are you asking him for? A poor ghost! Gao Yuan said with a smile: "This charity dinner is called our treat, but the guests invited are all going to bleed, if this guy comes, he will occupy a seat for nothing, and he won't be able to take out a penny, and he will eat me for nothing, so naturally he will not be invited." ”
Ye Jing'er was amused by Gao Yuan, "You don't want to see him so much, and you don't see you remove his official?" ”
"It's one thing for me to like him or not, but it's another thing for him to be incompetent, and as a finance minister, he's the right person." Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "The selection of officials cannot be based on their own preferences, but depends on whether he is suitable for this position, at least until now, I have not found a more suitable candidate for finance minister than him." ”
"That's just as well." Ye Jing'er nodded, "I wonder how much money we can raise this time?" Big brother, I used to think that everyone in our Han was very happy, but after walking some places, I found that this was not the case at all, this is still around Jicheng, there are still so many poor people, you can imagine, the situation in those remote areas. Thinking of some of the situations she saw, Ye Jinger was deeply touched.
"Yes, no matter how hard we try, it is impossible to take care of everyone, there will always be forgotten people, your charitable foundation will check and fill in the gaps in the future."
"But even with this charitable foundation, there are only a few people who can help, and we are so big." Ye Jing'er shook her head and sighed.
"You guys are just the beginning, and I'm sure more people will do it in the future." Gao Yuan stroked Ye Jing'er's fragrant shoulder, "Although you can only help some people, you can play an exemplary role." ”
"Also, there are so many rich people in our big man." Ye Jing'er nodded in agreement, "I really didn't expect that you could sell it for one million and twenty thousand yuan with one naming right, those maritime merchants are really rich." This time, Mei Pu should have invited them too, right? ”
"Of course, I will definitely please." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "In the future, maritime merchants will become the richest people in this country." But I'm looking forward to seeing how much money you'll be able to raise this time. ”
While the two were talking, Zhiyuan ran in all the way, carrying a few objects in his hands, "Father, mother." Gao Zhiyuan put the things in his hand on the table, "Er Niangniang said that we all have to take some things out to sell, and the money from the sale will be used to help those poor, this is my share." ”
Gao Yuan glanced at it, good guy, what Zhiyuan brought were some of his most precious things, one of which was a scimitar inlaid with a huge gem was the treasure that Kou Shuguang brought back to him when he went overseas, and Pingsu was his favorite thing.
"You can afford your knife?" Gao Yuan played with the knife and smiled.
"My mother is often distressed by the lack of money, and once I went out with my mother, and I saw that some people are so pitiful, so I also have to contribute to the Han Kingdom." Eight-year-old Gao Zhiyuan raised his head and looked at his father.
Gao Yuan laughed and hugged his son, "Good son, you can actually think about sharing your parents' worries, it seems that you have really grown a little bit in your studies now, yes, yes, this knife will definitely be sold for a good price." ”
"Of course!" Gao Zhiyuan said proudly, then glanced at Gao Yuan's black and inconspicuous military thorn on the table, and said disdainfully: "Father, you are really stingy, isn't this just an ordinary knife, can it be sold for a few dollars?" Who's going to want it? And this tattered Kai armor, father, are you embarrassed to take it out? ”
This made everyone in the room laugh.
"Son, believe it or not, this military stab that you despise will be sold for at least ten times the price of your sword." Gao Yuan smiled.
"I don't believe it." Gao Zhiyuan shook his head and said.
"Son, you have to remember that sometimes the preciousness of something is not the thing itself, but other values attached to it." Gao Yuan said with a smile. "For example, your sword may be worth a thousand taels of silver, but because you have played with it since you were a child, it may be worth five thousand taels because you are the prince of the Han Kingdom. Do you understand? ”
Gao Zhiyuan nodded as if he didn't understand.
Gao Yuan stood up and stroked the tattered armor next to him, "This armor was the first pair of armor that your father and I had when I was not developed, and I went through the most difficult years, and every scar on it was his medal, if it weren't for your mother's charity fund, I would be reluctant to take it out!" Because he contains my memory, son, this is the most valuable thing, because he is the only one and cannot be repeated. ”
"Big brother, you can't be reluctant like this, forget it, I won't want it." Looking at Gao Yuan's expression, Ye Jing'er suddenly felt a little sad, and Gao Yuan's words also reminded her of the difficult years back then.
"No, sell, let them exert their residual heat again, they can make a little more contribution to the people of Dahan, if they really have spirit, they will be happy." Gao Yuan waved his hand and said loudly. (To be continued......)
