Chapter 981: Donation Dinner
Chapter 981 Donation Dinner
After meeting with the college student petition group, Wang Hengyue's subsequent actions made people fall through the glasses again.
On the night of July 25th, Nanjing Charity Night Donation Dinner.
This was a gala for Chinese orphans, and most of Nanjing's celebrities and elites appeared at the charity dinner. They talked about business, about the dispute between China and Britain, about the progress of the world war.
Although China and Britain made a small use of force on Asik Island, the war seemed to be far away from China.
As recently as 1940, the Chinese government launched a series of economic stimulus packages to continue China's rapid economic growth.
Of course, the stimulating effect of war on the economy is also not underestimated. War can hurt, but it also breeds endless business opportunities.
A large number of Chinese merchants threw themselves into the opportunities brought to them by the war, and they keenly grasped all the fleeting opportunities in the war, earning a lot of profits in the warring countries.
In this regard, the Chinese government has greatly encouraged the businessmen to make money, which means that the country has also made money, the businessmen have made a fortune, and the country's economy has also been greatly promoted.
And this dinner is also a manifestation of these businessmen to give back to the society.
The ** portion of the dinner is a donation. Maybe it was sincere, or maybe it was a deliberate way to show that he was rich in front of others, and the enthusiasm of the participants for donations was very high. In just one hour, 3.3 million yuan has been raised.
"Thank you to all the leaders of society"
The host of the dinner had just said the first words of thanks, when his secretary hurried in and whispered a few words in his ear, and the host's face changed greatly, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, and he cleared his throat and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to report to you a great news that this donation dinner has a great impact, even I did not expect that soon, there will be a distinguished guest to come to me to announce, the donation dinner will continue for two hours Now this distinguished guest is already on the way, please be patient"
The guests all have some enlightenment, what kind of guests can make the dinner last for two hours? There are officials, big businessmen, celebrities here, and the elites of Nanjing are all together, and who is qualified to make them wait?
The host seemed very nervous, and sent people to the door from time to time, but he couldn't wait, and even ran to the door himself to take a look, which seemed to be completely out of order. And his actions also aroused the curiosity of the guests.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, several big men in civilian clothes with stern faces walked in and carefully inspected the venue.
This kind of appearance like a great enemy also made the guests even more confused
After waiting for a few more minutes, a middle-aged man walked in and said a few words in the host's ear, and the host had a burst of ecstasy on his face, and hurriedly came to the host stage:
"Ladies and gentlemen, our distinguished guests have arrived. Let us welcome with the warmest applause the head of state, the President of the Republic of China, Wang Hengyue! ”
All the guests were stunned, and they wondered if they had heard it wrong. Who? Who's here? The great president of the Republic of China?
After a brief moment of stunnedness, frantic applause erupted
In the midst of applause, Wang Hengyue, president of the Republic of China, slowly walked into the banquet hall and applauded, and became more and more enthusiastic and crazy
"Lao Zhou, you've been looking good lately." Wang Hengyue pointed to a businessman he recognized and smiled.
"Thank you, thank you President for your concern." "Lao Zhou" replied, his voice trembled a little.
"Manager Chang, I heard that you sold a large sum of goods to the British? Got a fortune, right? Wang Hengyue said to another businessman with a smile. …,
Manager Chang smiled: "President, I pay my taxes on time." ”
"Director Fang." happened to see Director Fang of the Nanjing Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, Wang Hengyue stopped: "Why have your cigarettes risen so much recently?" I can't even afford to buy cigarettes, if this continues, I'll live in your Director Fang's house to smoke!" ”
Director Fang smiled very happily: "Welcome, welcome, the president is here, I will definitely use good cigarettes to entertain, enough!" ”
After speaking, he hurriedly added: "It's all out of my own pocket, didn't the president bring someone from the Independent Commission Against Corruption today?" ”
There was a lot of laughter, and Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "The people from the Independent Commission Against Corruption are really here, your Director Fang is not so at ease, I have to go to the prison to send you cigarettes." ”
The laughter was even more cheerful. The host hurriedly came up: "Please give a lecture to the president." ”
"What kind of talk am I training?" Wang Hengyue waved his hand: "I heard that today is a dinner party for orphans to donate, I just don't have anything to do, just think about it, donate some money for orphans, and be a heart." ”
"Welcome, welcome, the president's heart for the orphans will inevitably be known by everyone."
Under the host's repeated invitations, Wang Hengyue still stood on the host stage, he asked the host to bring the donation list and take a look: "Manager Chang, you made millions from trading with the British, and you only donated 10,000 yuan today, which is really stingy." I'm going to have some privileges as the president today, and you have to donate at least 100,000 yuan to make a come. ”
"Yes, yes." As if it was a great honor to be named by the president, Manager Chang did not hesitate at all: "Chang also feels a little stingy, 100,000 is still less, 200,000, I will donate 200,000 more!" ”
There was a burst of applause, Wang Hengyue nodded and smiled: "That's right" His eyes turned on the list, and he quickly said: "It's not easy for Director Fang."
The eyes of all the guests fell on Director Fang, and they only heard Wang Hengyue on the stage say: "When Director Fang mentioned the Independent Commission Against Corruption just now, it was not exactly a joke. Not long ago, someone reported that Director Fang was corrupt and bribery, and I was furious when I heard it. After receiving the report, the Independent Commission Against Corruption immediately launched an investigation, and the investigation was very careful, do you know how much money the director of the Tangtang Tobacco Monopoly Bureau has in his family? ”
There was silence below, and Wang Hengyue slowly stretched out two fingers: "Two thousand!" ”
There was a whisper, and everyone seemed to refuse to believe this number, Wang Hengyue sighed softly: "Not only do you not believe it, I also don't believe it after hearing it." The director of a tobacco monopoly bureau, how can his family only have such a small amount of money? I'll let people check again, secretly investigate, I want to dig out the roots of Director Fang, and dig out a big corrupt official who is very hidden, and now I think about it, I am living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Lao Fang, I'm here to apologize to you! ”
Saying that, in front of everyone, he really bowed deeply to Director Fang.
Director Fang was frightened, and waved his hand again and again with gratitude and panic, "No, no, President, how do you say this?"
"You have to apologize for doing something wrong, there's not much to say." Wang Hengyue raised his head: "As a result, the corrupt official was not found, but a good official was found." As everyone knows, Director Fang was a veteran of the Russian War, who was later wounded and retired. But what he never forgot was his brothers who died on the battlefield, and every month, he would give more than half of his salary to help his brothers' families and help orphans and widows who had lost their husbands and fathers."
There was silence in the banquet hall, and everyone's eyes were different when they looked at Director Fang.
The president's voice continued to sound: "The bigger his official position, the more money he will take out, how can he save money?" Lao Fang, on behalf of your fallen brothers and on behalf of all people, thank you! ”…,
The president bowed deeply to Director Fang again, and at this moment, Director Fang burst into tears and couldn't say a word.
"He didn't tell anyone, he didn't tell anyone." Wang Hengyue sighed and continued: "With such a good official, our country can do a good job, and there is no hardship that cannot be overcome." There is another very important reason why I am here today, in addition to supporting charity. Many of the orphans I know have fathers and mothers who are soldiers, who have lost their fathers and mothers, and who have lost their closest relatives. A war will destroy many families and create more orphans, what about these people? Who cares about them? I think it's up to those of us who are capable of managing them. ”
Every word of the Great President echoed in everyone's ears:
"Everyone knows that the world war is going on, and China may not participate in the war, but may be forced to advance into the war sooner or later, and the war will be together, countless lives will be destroyed, countless families will be broken, and I don't know how many orphans will be added. So I think this charity dinner is quite meaningful. I am pleased to announce a $1,000,000 donation to help transform the charitable foundation! ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then, a tidal wave of applause rang out!
There were also some quick reactions, applauding while feeling something else from the president's words.
"China may not participate in the war, or sooner or later it will be forced to advance into the war, and together with the war, countless lives will be destroyed, countless families will be broken, and I don't know how many orphans will be added."
Could it be that China is really preparing for war? Is the President here today just another way to deliver a cryptic message to everyone?
Or is it just overthinking yourself? The president just made a donation?
War is inseparable from the support of all people, inseparable from the support of the whole country, and only when the whole country is mobilized can the war continue until victory is achieved!
