At the same time, in the banquet hall of the Youngor Hotel.

Celebrities from all walks of life in Zhonghai City shuttle between fine wine and pastries.

The so-called charity reception is nothing more than a collision between business cards and business cards.

Everyone is usually doing business and has no time to meet, and now a leader initiates a so-called charity fundraiser, and a group of businessmen flock to exchange business cards or find a line of respected people.

After promoting the transaction, donate a few points of profit, report on the news, and earn a good reputation.

So the outside world got such a report, the major entrepreneurs in Zhonghai City, in their busy schedules, took time to participate in a charity reception, and generously donated, among which the most donated by so-and-so, so-and-so has always cared about charity projects, caring about the society, giving back to the society, and thanking them.

These routines can be said to be the same as the unspoken rules, everyone understands them, but everyone throws themselves into it.

At the cocktail party, men brought female companions, women brought male companions, except for Bai Lan, who came alone, but there was no shortage of CEOs of major companies around her who came up to talk to her.

After all, Bai Lan also invited them tonight, and in the name of Liu Lang, many people came to explore the way.

Those who came out to do business were not stupid, and everyone was interested in the sudden rise of Liu Lang recently.

And why didn't it be easy to invite Liu Lang, Liu Lang immediately drew up a drinking party to invite them, and the spark was already obvious.

Not long after the reception began, a young man with a big back walked into the venue, looking twenty-seven or eighteen, and he had not yet reached the age of standing.

As soon as the young man entered the venue, he attracted the attention of most people, and many business CEOs stepped forward to say hello, and he responded cordially.

This person is the person in charge of the Zhonghai branch of Jianggan Industry, why not be easy.

He also initiated this cocktail party tonight, when he walked up to the platform and gently tapped the rim of the goblet.

The cocktail party is not a vegetable market, the environment inside is still relatively quiet, and most people's eyes are focused on He Buyi, his action directly quieted everyone on the scene.

"All the people in this venue are well-known figures in Zhonghai City, thank you for your willingness to give me face tonight and attend this charity reception."

Why is it not easy to say this, and the people below are even more echoed, and many of them are partners of Jianggan Industry.

After all, Jianggan Industry is an industrial company, not only selling cement and sand and other building materials, but in this regard, it is so big that it is almost a monopoly.

There are also some people who agree with He Buyi, who want to cooperate with Jianggan Industry, after all, if they are invited here, they have the opportunity, but not all companies can cooperate with Jianggan Industry.

"What Mr. He said, we make money, naturally we want to give back to the society, this is our unshirkable responsibility."

"That's right, not to mention that when it comes to busyness, He is always busier than us, He always has time, how can we not have time?"

"Mr. He, we Yangliu donated 20 million."

“………………”

The scene was still very enthusiastic, although Bai Lan stood at the front, she didn't speak, just stared at He Buyi coldly.

He Bu naturally saw Bai Lan too, but the sight of the two only briefly clashed.

The two are competitors, and they don't always look at each other.

"Okay, thank you for being so enthusiastic, this time we are a charity fundraiser for tuberculosis patients, which is managed by the Serious Illness Ruthless Relief Foundation that we have just established in Jianggan Industry, if you want to donate, you can bring your generous check to the platform and put it into this donation box."

As soon as He Buyi's words fell, the air in the venue quieted down again, or the air at the scene seemed to be frozen.

The people who can be invited to this reception are not simple, so everyone is not stupid, and donating money to other foundations, and donating money to a foundation established by a company for the purpose of making money is completely different in nature.

The operation of a charitable foundation requires a management fee, and the percentage of this management fee in the total amount of donations raised is determined by the foundation itself.

So while it looks like a charity fundraiser, how does it look a bit like collecting premiums?

The people present, including Bai Lan, were all thinking in the direction of protection money.

After all, Jianggan Industry has always been a dominant company in Zhonghai City.

At this time, the most shocking person in my heart was Li Shaoqing.

If you want to put away the protection fee, no one knows better than him what Jianggan Industry has done in Zhonghai City in the past few years.

Before Li Zhengda was sent in, although Li Shaoqing could not directly participate in the management of the group, Li Zhengda would still ask him to sign some contracts or go out to meet the big scene, which was also so that he could be on his own when he took over.

The one billion order signed by the Li Group and Jianggan Industry was signed by Li Shaoqing himself.

1 billion yuan is placed on an ordinary enterprise, which is already an astronomical amount, even in front of the size of the Li Group, 1 billion yuan is not a small number.

When he got the contract back, Li Shaoqing felt that something was wrong, 1 billion was used to buy building materials, but only 8 billion of the 100 million was used to buy building materials, and the other 20 percent was 200 million, all of which were used to pay for a project called management fees.

What management fee requires 200 million? Li Shaoqing is not stupid, he is still very smart in some places, but he has not rolled and crawled in a real shopping mall, so he has not been exposed to the dark side.

But now he has figured out what the management fee is for these two hundred million, which is clearly the protection fee received by Jianggan Industry.

In the past few days, Li Shaoqing has also filtered up and down some of the businesses completed by the Li Group in the past two years, and he found that the so-called management fees paid to Jianggan Industry alone are as high as more than one billion.

Of course, the young and vigorous Li Shaoqing didn't want to pay this management fee anymore, but Su Xiaoya told him that if he didn't pay the management fee when signing the contract, Jianggan Industrial would refuse to cooperate, and at the same time, other companies in the industry would not be allowed to cooperate with the Li Group.

Therefore, if you can't bear this breath, you have to endure it.

Li Shaoqing turned his head to look at the people around him, and found that the people around him were all like him, and they were all clear in their hearts, otherwise they wouldn't look at each other on their faces.

In fact, it is not that these people do not want to pay this fee, and it seems that it has become an unwritten consensus that small enterprises pay protection fees to large enterprises, but they are worried that Jianggan Industry will take the opportunity of setting up a foundation to charge higher protection fees, which is undoubtedly a pressure on them.

Seeing that the people at the venue slowly stopped talking, the smile on He Yi's face never stopped, collecting protection money is not what he meant, this is the meaning of the head office, but as the person in charge of the Zhonghai branch, he enjoys that the group of people below are glamorous business people outside, but when cooperating with them Jianggan Industry, he has to pay protection fees in a low voice.

"Do you have any comments on the Jianggan Industrial Rescue Foundation?"

After He Bu finished speaking, he glanced at the audience, and finally fell on Bai Lan's body.

"If you don't have any opinions, then let's start, why don't I first provide 50 million financial support for this fundraising on behalf of Jianggan Industrial Zhonghai Branch."

After saying that, he took out the check from his pocket, took out a brush and brushed it, wrote a few strokes, and put it in the donation box.

His move made the audience talk a lot, but it was very helpless, tonight was supposed to be a charity cocktail party, and those who were willing to come were ready to donate, but they didn't expect that the money would eventually go directly into the pocket of the foundation under the name of Jianggan Industry, which was completely different from charity.

Besides, this is a private charity fundraising, if you take some means, it is really difficult to be supervised, where is this fundraising, this is to collect protection money.

In order to save face, and to continue to cooperate with Jianggan Industry, the entrepreneurs in the audience took out checks and counted a few times, and then read out the amount of their donations aloud, and then threw them into the donation box.

Su Xiaoya was standing next to Li Shaoqing, and they hadn't gone up to donate yet.

"This Jianggan industry is really getting more and more excessive, and now it is blatantly collecting protection fees."

Hearing her woman say this, Li Shaoqing hurriedly told her to shut up.

"Be careful to let that old thing hear it, you see that so many people have donated, we must be indispensable, they can't fight why it is not easy, not to mention us, didn't you persuade me not to be an enemy of Jianggan Industry at that time?"

Li Shaoqing is more open-minded, he just wants to be a happy young master, so as long as he has money to earn, if Jianggan Industry is really a big tree, he doesn't mind surviving under this big tree, provided that he lives happily.

Subsequently, Li Shaoqing and Su Xiaoya also came to the stage to donate 10 million, which is a large amount for the Li Group, which is already short of liquidity.

Everyone in the audience moved, but there was only one person who didn't, and that was Bai Lan.

From the very beginning, He Yiyi's gaze had never left Bai Lan, so at this time, his eyes were staring at Bai Lan intently, as if he was not ready to let her go.

"Mr. Bai, aren't you going to give love tonight?"

Why is it not easy, this person likes to go straight, and another point is that with the strength of the Zhonghai Branch of Jianggan Industry, there is no need to come to that set of words.

Why is it not easy for him, even if he goes to that station, come to a sentence, in the future, whoever wants to do business in Zhonghai will have to pay a protection fee first, and no one will dare to say anything.

The way of business is sometimes another kind of road with a bit of black.

When a company is in full swing, then their words are the rules of business.

And as soon as He Buyi's words came out, the eyes of everyone in the audience fell on Bai Lan.

Bai Lan shook her head with a smile, then took out a card from her handbag and walked generously to the donation box.

Everyone is looking forward to it, Bai's Group is now the second enterprise in Zhonghai City, Jianggan Industry has donated 50 million, so how much will Bai's Group donate?

"Mr. He also raised this charity fundraiser in his busy schedule, and it seems that we should change our name to He Dashan in the future."

As soon as Bai Lan came to the stage, he complimented He Buyi, He Buyi might have already floated, he really thought that Bai Lan was complimenting him, and just laughed a few times and was ready to say a few polite words.

As a result, at this time, Bai Lan suddenly said.

"But we ...... the Bai Group"

Bai Lan glanced at the audience and smiled contemptuously.

"Don't give a penny."
