Leaving Old George, Kim Hyun Tae and his party returned to the banquet hall.

At this time, the banquet hall was in full swing about the 'public charity donation'.

"I donated $20,000 to support the Welfare Fund for Police Officers' Families, hoping that police officers can better serve the Los Angeles area without worrying about their families. ”

"I'm donating $60,000 to the Los Angeles Fire Department Fund!"

"I donate $40,000 to the Los Angeles Department of Education Fund! ”

Is that okay too?

Kim Hyun-tae looked at the guests, and from time to time shouted out the number of money he wanted to donate, and the object of their donation, which felt a little incredible.

Fresh!

It's so new!

Such public charitable donations correspond to specific projects set up by public departments such as police stations, fire protection, education, etc.

It stands to reason that such a department should not be supported by state financial allocations? Even if it is the foundation under each department, it cannot do so.

How!

That's why you have to come out to raise donations!?

It's really weird.

As Kim Hyun-tae, who doesn't know much about the parallel time and space of the United States, he really can't accept what is happening in front of him.

But to exist is to be reasonable, even if he can't accept it for a while.

It is different from Huaxia, if it is in Huaxia, then such a public sector does need to be supported by state funding, and it is still a special grant.

Even the funds are in the hands of the state.

But in the United States, it is different, although the federal government will also allocate funds to the states to support the development of public utilities in the states, but the little money allocated by the federal government is simply not enough.

At most, it's just keeping these departments running.

As for benefits or something, then you don't have to think about it.

Therefore, the civil servants on the American side are actually very miserable, and they are far less happy than the Chinese civil servants.

In this way, in order to be able to have some legal welfare benefits, the civil servants on the American side have come up with a solution.

That is to set up a fund to find people to provide you with 'public utilities charitable donations'!

Yes, you read that right, that's what it means.

In addition, most of these donations are used to repair old facilities and to replace them with new equipment, and will not be realized to civil servants in these departments.

At most, when you buy a house, start a family, or have practical difficulties, you can take out a low-interest loan from the foundation instead of going to the bank.

At the same time, this donation will be supervised by special people.

If you want to embezzle or anything, don't even think about it.

This can be regarded as a way to reduce the pressure on the federal budget and make local governments self-reliant, which can also be regarded as 'welfare'.

Although it is only like this, it is also a very good thing for American civil servants, who are not picky at all.

Wretched!

What a pity!

The doubtful Kim Hyun-tae, after learning the truth from Dave, has deep sympathy for the American civil service community.

Of course, these are superficial articles.

In fact, the fact that the guests are so enthusiastic is also a real benefit here.

If you support the police department, then correspondingly, the police station will be very happy to do things for you when something happens.

If you support the fire department, you will also receive preferential treatment, after all, if you are in business, the fire department will not dare to offend.

If you support education, your own children go to school and transfer to another school, it will be much more convenient.

Although the United States does not say that it has gone through the back door, people will be flexible.

You must know that these donations can buy new body armor for the police station, is this a good thing to ensure the personal safety of police officers?

Be!

Then you have to be grateful to the donors, and some things that are not big or small will pass with one eye closed.

Americans are straight, there is nothing wrong with that.

But that's not to say they won't be humane.

Under the framework of nothing to do and not violating the law, they will also pay attention to human feelings.

It's not like Huaxia, everything is just about human relations.

At this point, Kim Hyun-tae can be regarded as understanding the inside story, and at the same time sighing that he is really a little white.

In that case, should I donate some myself?

This is a great opportunity to get in touch with the police station and other public utilities.

Besides, I still have some spare money in my hands.

There are still more than 70 million cash in the bank account, and this month is about to end the month, and when the manuscript fee for December is settled, I will have another payment.

Although he now needs a lot of money to support his three companies, Kim Hyun-tae knows very well that some money still has to be spent, such as 'supporting public charity'.

"Mr. Dave, do you still have a blank check there?"

Thinking of this, Kim Hyun Tae tugged at Dave's cuffs on his side and asked in a low voice.

Dave noticed Kim Hyun Tae tugging at him and looked down at him, "What's wrong? ”

"Lend me some money, I also want to donate some money, but now I don't have a checkbook, so I can only ask you to borrow it here, and I will transfer it back to you when I go back." ”

"How much are you going to donate?"

Seeing that Kim Hyun Tae wanted to donate, Dave did not stop him, after all, this is Kim Hyun Tae's personal matter.

As for borrowing money or something, Dave won't worry that Kim Hyun Tae can't afford to change it, you must know that the royalty share for December is about to be settled.

Dave, who knows what this month's sales data is, won't worry about Kim Hyun-tae not being able to pay it back at all.

What's more, he also knows very well that there are tens of millions of cash deposits in Kim Hyun-tae's bank account.

So Kim Hyun Tae wants to borrow money, why doesn't he borrow.

Besides, Kim Hyun-tae borrowed money not to go out and spend time drinking, looking for girls or taking drugs or anything, but to donate to public charity.

That's a good thing, so why don't you support it?

Moreover, Kim Hyun-tae himself is a relatively well-known teenager writer, and now he wants to establish a good relationship with these public utilities, which will also be of great benefit to his personal image in the future, and then his image will be improved, and it will also lead to the sales of novels.

Dave wasn't a fool, and he thought of a lot of things in his head.

At the same time, Dave also secretly glanced at Annie, who was standing behind Kim Hyun Tae, holding Coco in her left hand and pushing a wheelchair with her right hand, as if she also expressed her support and appreciation for Kim Hyun Tae's idea.

Since Anne doesn't look like she wants to object, why should she object, is he an idiot?

"How much are you going to donate? It seems that the only people who are collecting donations today are the police department, the fire department, and the education department. ”

Dave took out his checkbook from the inside pocket of his suit, then looked at Kim Hyun Tae and asked.

In the face of Dave's inquiry, Kim Hyun Tae thought about it very carefully.

His own campaign contribution to George Sr. was $100.

Then, it is not good to donate to public charity now, and this amount is not good to exceed this number.

Otherwise, what do you want old George to think?

But too little is not enough, at least it has to make a little impression.

God knows if I will deal with these departments in the future, at least leave some impressions, and if I deal with these departments in the future, it will be a little convenient, right?

Kim Hyun Tae weighed the gains and losses with the mentality of a small citizen, and finally came up with a decision, he looked up at Dave: "Three departments, 500,000 US dollars each, I think they should be satisfied with this figure." ”

After thinking about it, Kim Hyun-tae decided to donate $500,000 each to the three departments of the police station, fire department, and education.

If it weren't for the old George, Kim Hyun-tae would have been eager to donate 1 million.

When Dave heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Donate $500,000 and worry that these guys are not satisfied?

Joke!

There are already a lot of donations like this, okay.

For Kim Hyun Tae to be so arrogant, Dave really couldn't laugh or cry.

Fortunately, without Dave's words, Anne had already given Kim Hyun-tae a small reminder for him.

"Don't worry, 500,000 is a lot. For charitable donations like this, 100,000 is generally very generous, and if you donate 500,000 to them now, it's no wonder they're not happy. ”

What, 500,000 of these guys are all the of the?

Kim Hyun-tae couldn't believe what he heard.

But looking at Dave's look of agreement, Kim Hyun Tae had no choice but to accept Annie's statement.

Brush Brush Brush!

Dave wrote three cash checks, each with a limit of $500,000, and he could exchange money when he got it to the bank.

Later, after reconfirming with Kim Hyun Tae and getting a clear response, he turned around and raised his right hand in the direction of the small salute platform, waving the check in his hand: "Young writer William King, donate $500,000 each to the Los Angeles Police Foundation, the Los Angeles Fire Department Safety Foundation, and the Los Angeles Education Development Education Foundation!"

On the small stage, the spokesperson of the state public sector, who was still telling the guests about the suffering of civil servants and the state of facilities in various departments, suddenly lit up when he heard this.

My heart is full of flowers.

Each of the three departments is $500,000, which adds up to $1.5 million.

This is really a 'local tyrant'!

Anyway, today's banquet has not fooled up to 2 million donations, but this time it has increased by almost a bit.

Good! Good!

That's great!

And Kim Hyun-tae, who was located in a remote corner of the small altar in the distance, suddenly became a little cramped and uncomfortable after finding that everyone's eyes were looking at him.

He's still a little unaccustomed to being in the spotlight.

At this time, Anne retreated to the side without a trace of Cocoa, hiding among the guests and looking at Kim Hyun-tae, who was a little cramped and uncomfortable, and found that his appearance of squirming in a wheelchair was very funny.

The media reporters who came to attend the banquet gathered around at this time.

Click!

The flash, as well as the sound of pressing the shutter, sounded constantly.

With such a 'large amount' of donations, it is obviously unjustifiable not to take a picture.

What's more, this is also the largest donation tonight.

Kim Hyun-tae, who was in a wheelchair, couldn't open his eyes because of the flash, so he could only squint his eyes.

Dave, on the other hand, was accustomed to standing on the edge of his wheelchair and posing in what he thought was chic, for the reporters to take pictures of him.

"William, smile, your expression is too stiff, be soft, otherwise the photo will be ugly in the newspaper, and you will have to get used to such things in the future. This is just the beginning, and you're going to have to deal with the media in the future, not to mention the fact that it's Los Angeles......"

Dave smiled while posing for his BI outfit and teased Kim Hyun Tae from time to time.
