39 Charity Dinner (Plus!) )

"Sir, please show me your invitation."

Victoria Hotel, the entrance to the Penthouse Ballroom.

The waiter smiled and politely stopped the two reporters at the door.

These two reporters are both well-known reporters from major newspapers, and they originally wanted to follow people in disguise, but they didn't expect to be stopped at the door of the cocktail party. And these two reporters are not famous in the industry, and they are not dry people at all. One of them had also infiltrated a drug cartel, went undercover to film the crime, and belonged to the most daring category of people in the newspaper.

However, at the door of this drinking party, they were stopped for a moment, and they had no temper at all, so they could only blame their bad luck and turn away. As for finding other ways to infiltrate, or taking out their press cards to break in, they can't even think of such a thing.

According to the grapevine, the people who attended this drinking party were all big people who were either rich or expensive. If they offend anyone, they won't even want to open a newspaper.

For example, Mr. Lee, Commissioner of Police, Minister of Commerce, and Industrial Tycoon, Chief Executive Officer of the Finance Association......

These famous personalities will bring their wives to attend this charity dinner.

The organizer of this party is Mr. Chow Sing Cho, the first philanthropist on Hong Kong Island.

If you can take a picture of this group of people gathered together, and add the headline of how many Hong Kong dollars will be donated to the charity gala, you can imagine that tomorrow's newspaper will be a big seller. It's a pity that Zhou Xingzu doesn't seem to like to be in the newspaper anymore, and refuses all newspaper media interviews.

But the reporter who smelled the wind just came to try his luck, and since he was unlucky, he could only go home.

The waiter watched the reporters leave with an expressionless face, this is already the first dozen waves of people stopped tonight, including some who want to blend in with the party, some newspaper reporters, and even a few big circles who want to do things to make money.

It is estimated that those big circles have just arrived on Hong Kong Island, thinking that they can make a fortune by finding a splendid building. Unexpectedly, as soon as the poor big circle boy came to Hong Kong Island, he hit the iron plate, and the moment he pulled out the gun, he was subdued by the guards disguised around. These guards are all genuine bad guys, specially designed to protect the safety of the first brother.

……

Resplendent halls.

A spotlight hit the center, and a smiling and sunny figure walked onto the stage.

Zhou Xingzu, dressed in a white suit, as the host of the party, stood in front of the microphone and spoke: "Education is the foundation of the country, and knowledge is the future." ”

"Thank you very much to all the guests for being invited to attend tonight's charity gala. I am Zhou Xingzu, and I speak for intellectual charity. Zhou Xingzu bowed and thanked him, and his humorous self-introduction made everyone in the audience laugh.

The adaptation of a small paragraph, although people can't fully comprehend it now, can also feel an interesting taste.

Many unmarried ladies can't help but shine in their eyes.

Zhou Xingzu continued: "I believe everyone knows that I only do school when I do charity. Tonight's charity party is also about the school's project, but it is not for the fundraising of the Knowledge Primary School, but for the construction of the Knowledge Middle School. ”

"This charity fundraiser does not hold charity auctions or pledge fundraising. I don't want anyone to take advantage of the opportunity to launder money, but my brother is watching from the bottom. Zhou Xingzu quipped, and immediately burst into laughter.

The fundraising project for the charity gala is to build an hour of knowledge, as the guests have long known.

They are willing to come, naturally with the intention of donating money. What's more, there is basically no shortage of tens of millions of people here, and hundreds of millions are all small money.

Of course, it's not easy to invite them.

If it weren't for Zhou Xingzu's reputation for being dedicated to charity, plus twelve knowledge primary schools, they would have been placed there. The characters in front of them may not be willing to accept Zhou Xingzu's invitation.

In the final analysis, Zhou Xingzu is just a junior, and whether the bigwigs like to come or not depends on their mood. However, in Hong Kong Island in the 90s, the bigwigs were busy panning for gold to make money, hundreds of millions wanted to become tens of billions, tens of billions wanted to become hundreds of billions, and almost never thought about doing charity.

Zhou Xingzu has invisibly become a pioneer, and has won the affirmation and respect of the bigwigs with practical actions, which makes them willing to attend this party. If it was Zhou Xingzu when he first came to Hong Kong Island, even if he had the name of the king of gambling, it was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the bigwigs.

However, the method of donation for the charity gala is nothing more than a charity auction, or a fixed amount of money pledged. Is there any good way to do it other than these two ways?

The curious eyes of the guests were focused on Zhou Xingzu's face, looking very expectant.

As for the sarcasm in Zhou Xingzu's mouth, the guests also laughed secretly. Because in the past two years, there have indeed been some people who have used charity galas to launder money. But those are small people of unknown origin, and they can't be compared to today's scene at all.

What's more, there was no real act of kindness at that kind of charity gala. And the knowledge primary school built by Zhou Xingzu is a real achievement.

It is impossible for this kind of charity party to have money laundering, otherwise how dare you invite a brother to attend. But the eyes of many guests still unconsciously swept in the direction of the first brother, and the first brother nodded to everyone in a very elegant manner.

Zhou Xingzu asked his assistant to take out a board newspaper and uncover the mystery under the expectant eyes of the guests: "The things written on this board are all the parts of the knowledge middle school that need to be fundraised. Each person present is limited to one type of donation, and the guest who makes the donation will become a member of the board of directors of the Knowledge School Charity Foundation. ”

"The members of the Board of Directors of the Knowledge School Charity Fund have the responsibility of verifying the whereabouts of the funds and supervising the use of the funds."

Zhou Xingzu came up with this method only for the long-term development of the charity fund.

He hopes that the movie world is a real world, and he also hopes that if he leaves this movie world. The charitable fund that has been established by the one hand can also be sustained.

With the participation of these big names in front of him, serving as a member of the board of directors of the fund can not only avoid the internal rot of the charity fund to the greatest extent.

Even in the future, the "School of Knowledge" may develop into a world-renowned charitable foundation.

The guests have always believed that charitable donations are naturally hopeful, and the more people donate, the better. It's the first time I've heard of the rule of limited donations, which is really unusual.

However, after looking at the fundraising project, they found that the original fundraising project was very special.

There are dozens of items such as "Knowledge Middle School Textbook", "Knowledge Middle School Desk", "Knowledge Middle School Construction", "Knowledge Middle School Teacher Salary" and so on, covering almost all parts of a school.

If you put all the projects together, it's almost a school.

This is not just money, but similar to donations, or long-term in nature.

For example, someone donated the "Knowledge Middle School Textbooks" project, and in the future, all knowledge middle schools will need to donate their textbook fees for each semester.

Although it is a long-term nature, no one feels bad for the guests present. Instead, they all gave a thumbs up in their hearts and praised Zhou Xingzu one after another, this is the attitude of real charity.

After all, how much can it cost to donate only one project?

In the eyes of the guests present, this amount of money is not money at all, at least it is much lower than they expected.

What's more, if you make money, you can also put a name in the charity fund, no matter how you look at it, you can make money.

Because the eyes of the guests can see that after tonight, the "Knowledge School" Charity Fund is definitely the No. 1 Charity Foundation on Hong Kong Island.

Some people want to say that the more schools are built, the longer they are maintained, and the donors of each project will soon pay more and more?

But at that time, the fame that brought them was something that money could not buy. Anyone who has donated to the project hopes that the knowledge school can be opened more and more for a longer time.
