Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 680 Charity Fund (Two in One)

"Alan, how is your charity fund arranged?"

Bush asked aloud, he is very concerned about this matter now, because it may be related to his son's future future.

"The focus of my business is in Xiangjiang. The United States, Japan and some European countries have my business, but the core is Xiangjiang, Japan and the United States."

"Since I want to set up a charitable fund, it is impossible to set up a charitable fund only in the United States. As long as the company under my name can radiate, it is the place where the charitable fund will do things."

"However, just as the core of my business is in Hong Kong, Japan and the United States, charitable funds are also mainly based in these three places."

"No matter where the charitable fund is, I will set up two charitable funds that are not affiliated with each other, and they are privately funded charitable funds that do not raise funds externally."

"Taking the United States as an example, the reason why two charitable funds are established is because the recipients of donations to the two charitable funds are different. One accepts profit donations from my sole proprietorship; the other accepts my shareholding but is not a sole proprietorship. donations of profits.”

"As for any enterprise that is not solely owned by me, I have to discuss with other shareholders whether or not to make charitable donations, and how much to donate. I cannot ignore the interests of other shareholders, and even if I accept donations, some charitable acts of charitable funds sometimes require Taking into account the interests of related companies, it is likely to carry out some commercial charitable promotion, so all aspects must be considered.”

"The donations of my sole proprietorship are different. Every year, no less than 5% of the profits will be donated to the charitable fund as a donation, and then the charitable fund will carry out charitable activities according to the plan, regardless of any commercial behavior, regardless of the gains and losses of benefits, and only do Pure charity, really doing something good."

Lin Baicheng talked about his general plan. This is not a commercial secret, and there is nothing to hide.

Lin Baicheng has long thought about doing charity, and he is not going to donate money to other charities such as the Red Cross Society. Before his rebirth, he had seen too many shady news about charities, so he chose to do charity by himself.

What's more, doing charity by yourself can also promote influence. If Lin Baicheng can become a world-renowned philanthropist, then even if the capital of the United States wants to deal with him, they must be cautious and scruple about his international reputation.

Although it may not be useful, after all, the United States has done a lot of things regardless of its international reputation, but it is better to have a philanthropic halo than nothing.

"Alan, you think more comprehensively. It seems that Alan, you have thought about it for a long time."

After hearing this, Bush Sr. couldn't help saying that he doesn't pay attention to charitable funds in other countries now, but only pays attention to charitable funds in the United States.Whether it is two charitable foundations or one charitable foundation, the size of the charitable foundation is very important to him.

"Alan, how large will the two charitable funds you plan to establish be?"

"For companies with other shareholders, I have to wait until the charitable fund is established before discussing with other shareholders to see how much they donate to the charitable fund each year. Therefore, I can't be sure how much I can get each year."

"It's my sole proprietorship. Since it was just established this year, if the total donations don't reach 3000 million U.S. dollars, I will make up the remaining amount. And if there are no big surprises, the donations I accept every year will not be less than 1000 million U.S. dollars, usually bigger than that."

It is now 1980, and what is accepted is the company’s profit donation in 1979. Not to mention Lin Baicheng’s private investment profit last year, the profit of the Golden Fleece Company alone last year was as high as more than 3 million U.S. dollars, and 5% is more than 1000 million U.S. dollars.

The huge profit of Golden Fleece Company last year may not be available in the next few years, but Lin Baicheng’s sole proprietorship company in the United States is not only this one, but also Starlight Company, etc. If there are so many companies, 5% of the annual profit is not enough to make up 1000 million In terms of US dollars, in Lin Baicheng's opinion, it is unqualified.

"Alan, you are as generous as ever."

After hearing this, Bush Sr. didn’t know what to say. The 3000 million US dollars in charitable funds was almost equivalent to his entire net worth, and this was one of the funds in the United States. Listening to Lin Baicheng’s words, Japan and Xiangjiang There will also be two funds in each of the two places.

In other words, the funds used for charity alone are probably hundreds of millions of dollars, which is so much.

Lin Baicheng said: "There are two charitable funds. If Bush Jr. is willing, I can make him one of the directors of one of the charitable funds. I think he can use the platform of the charitable fund to let more people know him and gain public support. .”

"As long as it is for charity and the charitable funds are useful, then charity can be done anywhere, as long as the object of help is within the scope of the fund's regulated help goals."

"It's a good thing."

Bush Sr. immediately said: "The Bush family has always had a benevolent heart, not only Walker, but his brother Jeb also has a benevolent heart. If Alan, you can give them a platform to show their love, I will be grateful. "

Of course, Bush Sr. is more than one child of Bush Jr. He has three sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter has passed away, and one of the three sons is engaged in oil business and is not interested in politics. Bush Jr. and another son, Jeb Bush, are planning to into politics.

Jeb Bush is the second son of Bush Sr., born in 53. The reason why he is not here today is not that Bush Sr. prefers Bush Jr., but Bush Sr. prefers the second son because he is mature and sensible. He thinks that the second son is in politics. There will be higher achievements in the world, and the reason why the second son was not introduced to Lin Baicheng today, so that Lin Baicheng also became the second son's network, is because the second son is not in Houston.

The second son, Jeb Bush, is currently doing business in Miami, dabbling in the real estate development industry, and has established close ties with the Elephant Party in Dade County. His contacts are all there, and he will start his political career in Florida in the future, so I have no chance to introduce him this time. The second son met Lin Baicheng.

However, now that I know that Lin Baicheng is going to set up a charitable foundation, which will be very helpful for his career in politics, Bush of course wants to fight for his second son who is more optimistic.Enter the political arena earlier and make achievements earlier, in order to have higher achievements in the future.

"Of course there is no problem. I just want to set up two charitable funds. Then let Bush Jr. and his brother choose one."

Lin Baicheng didn't know about Bush's younger brother before he was reborn, but now he knows about the members of the Bush family, but he doesn't know about the future achievements of Bush's younger brother. president.

However, since the elder Bush has said so, of course Lin Baicheng will not lose face to the elder Bush. What he is doing now is to make good friends with the Bush family. He is happier when the elder Bush has a request.

Besides, Lin Baicheng knows that his rebirth has changed the future, so whether Bush Jr. will be able to become president in the future, and whether Jeb Bush will have higher achievements are uncertain, so becoming a Jeb Bush supporter does not matter. harm.

"Alan, I will definitely keep your friendship in my heart."

Bush Sr. once again made a disguised promise, saying: "Someday, I will ask Jeb to come back and let Alan meet him and examine his abilities. I believe he will not let you down."

"Next time."

Lin Baicheng said: "The charity fund has not yet been established. When the charity fund in the United States is established, I will make time to come here. I will definitely invite some people. Then I will meet him again."

Bush Jr. next to him suddenly said to Lin Baicheng: "Mr. Allen, can I ask the approximate time when the charity fund will be established? I'll arrange the work at hand here, and I will work in the fund as soon as possible."

Lin Baicheng said: "I want to find professionals who are willing to contribute to charity for the charity fund, so it will take some time, but it will not exceed July at the latest."

"Alan, if the charitable fund can be established before July, Mr. Reagan will need your support then."

Bush Sr. knew that even if he didn't say anything, Reagan would definitely seek help from the charitable fund if he learned that Lin Baicheng was going to set up a charitable fund. What's more, he was also a member of the campaign team, and his interests were tied together with Reagan.

During the presidential election, even a piece of free bread is likely to win the support of a voter, not to mention the large-scale distribution of money by charitable funds, which has a considerable influence on the presidential election.

For many people, no matter how good the pie pictured in the presidential candidate's campaign platform is, it is not as good as a piece of bread or a hamburger in front of them.

Therefore, the presidential candidate's "difficult persuasion" charity fund to do charity and distribute welfare benefits to the people will definitely win the favor of a large number of people, thereby increasing the probability of winning the election.

"I've always supported Reagan."

Lin Baicheng nodded. He understood what Bush Sr. meant and was not prepared to refuse.

Seeing that Lin Baicheng agreed, Bush Sr. didn't say anything anymore, thinking that Lin Baicheng's charitable fund might be able to help him in the future.

Lin Baicheng and Bush Sr. then chatted about other things, but Bush Jr. was still listening from the sidelines and basically didn't interrupt.

Before he was about to leave, Lin Baicheng glanced at Bush Jr., and said to Bush Sr.: "I have an Internet company that is preparing to go public in the near future. Because of my large shareholding ratio, I will sell some of the shares before going public. If George W. Bush is interested, I can sell him some."

"The company's shareholders include Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and other institutions. After the company's listing, the stock price will rise sharply, but it is not impossible to break the stock. Therefore, it is up to Bush Jr. to decide whether to buy stocks."

It is said that it is selling shares to Bush Jr., but Lin Baicheng is actually giving some benefits to the Bush family in a disguised form. However, if Bush Sr. does not want to accept or take a little risk, he will not be reluctant.

Inviting Bush Jr. and Jeb Bush to become one of the heads of the charity fund has achieved Lin Baicheng's goal, and the "friendship" with the Bush family has been strengthened, so it doesn't matter whether the other party accepts it or not.

"It's up to Walker to decide."

Bush Sr. said and looked at his son. No matter what decision Bush Jr. made, he would accept it. After all, his son was not his answerer, so he had to decide some things by himself.

"Thank you, Mr. Allen."

Anyway, Bush Jr. thanked him first, and then said: "The company that Mr. Allen invested in must be a good company. I am very happy to buy some shares before the company goes public and become a small shareholder."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "Okay, then I will ask my assistant to contact you. The specific number of shares has been priced and we will discuss it at that time."

"I listen to Mr. Allen's arrangement."

Bush, of course, has no objection.

Afterwards, Lin Baicheng bid farewell and left, and declined Bush Sr.'s invitation to stay for lunch, saying that he would never refuse again when he had the opportunity.

The Bush father and son sent Lin Baicheng and his party out of the manor, and watched the car leave.

When the car gradually went away, the Bush father and son turned and walked into the manor.

Bush Sr. said to his son: "Walker, take this opportunity to get to know Allen formally. You will get closer to him in the future and let him become your political supporter. This will not do you any harm."

"I know, father."

Bush Jr. nodded: "As for the share transfer that Mr. Allen said before he left, I still need your support at that time. I don't have that much money."

Upon hearing the words, Bush Sr. did not agree or refuse, but asked, "Since you don't have that much money, why did you still say you want to buy shares and become a shareholder?"

"Mr. Allen transferred the shares to me before the company went public. This is a disguised form of giving me benefits. I have no reason to refuse. Also, I can take this opportunity to get in touch with Mr. Allen and become friends with him. .”

"As for the issue of funds, I can borrow from my father or a bank loan, so I don't think funds will be a problem."

Bush Jr. is actually very clear that his father's network is not equal to his network. If Lin Baicheng is to be his support after he enters politics, then he himself has to become "friends" with Lin Baicheng.

My younger brother also wants to be in politics. If my father asks "friends" to support my younger brother in the future, what will I do?
Capital resources are also limited, it is impossible for both brothers to support, and if those 'friends' of him and his father are also 'friends' at this time, then it goes without saying who they will support.

"What nonsense, how can I let you go to the bank for a loan, I will definitely support you."

This kind of capital needs for making connections and a high probability of profit, Bush Sr. will definitely support, which is different from his son's need for financial support to start a business.

Bush Jr.: "Thank you father."

"You need to pay more attention to the charity fund. At that time, you can not only use this platform to make contacts, but also create a charitable image and leave a good impression on the public. It is related to your future achievements, so you must be good at that time. Do things and don't disappoint those who support you." Bush Sr. urged.

"I won't let you down, Father!"

Bush Jr. nodded heavily. He is now in his 30s, and he is very clear that such major events related to the future must be done well.

Bush Sr. didn't say any more, he has already said what should be said, and the next step is to see his son's actual actions.He only needs to watch from the side and give advice when his son makes a major mistake, and it is impossible to do everything.
