Chapter 211 I Can't Trust Other Charitable Foundations
When the food and food were served, and there were no idle people waiting in the room, Premier Wen said to Jiang Feng: "Xiao Jiang, why did you find me?"
"Let's talk about it after dinner." Jiang Feng suggested.
"Haha, I don't know what's going on, I dare not eat your meal. I know that your Xiaojiang's meal is not that delicious." Premier Wen said with a smile.
Jiang Feng smiled awkwardly, but he still took out the information he had sorted out and the information he had picked up, handed it to Premier Wen, and then said: "The management of two companies under my jurisdiction are planning to set up a charity foundation. However, this matter is quite troublesome, so I came to the Prime Minister to see if I could open a back door."
"Set up a charitable foundation? There are so many charitable foundations in our country, why do we need to set up one by ourselves?" Premier Wen frowned and asked after hearing this.
Jiang Feng said, "This, Premier Wen, is not afraid of you making fun of it. The managers of my company and I don't trust those foundations very much. I still think it is more reliable to set up a foundation myself. Another reason is that the amount we plan to use for charity this time is relatively large."
Premier Wen's face changed when he heard Jiang Feng's words, and he said with some excitement: "Xiao Jiang, when you talk about this, I, the Prime Minister, feel a little sad. Alas..."
"Prime Minister, you can't blame you for this matter. The so-called freezing three feet does not mean that a day's cold. The problem of corruption has never been eliminated for thousands of years since the social grading. Even with the iron-blooded method of the founding head of state, wouldn't it still be a huge corrupt like Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan?" Jiang Feng said.
Premier Wen shook his head and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these annoying things. Do you think the amount of funds you plan to use for charity is relatively large?"
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it was all invested by several major senior personnel of our Jiang Group and Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group, and they were planning to raise some funds from society. Judging from the number of raised now, it looks like about 5 billion, well... that is US dollars."
"Five billion? Or US dollars?" Premier Wen was shocked when he heard Jiang Feng's words.
This number is indeed very large.
It is April 2005, and the RMB exchange rate is still brewing. The temporary exchange rate is 8.28 yuan per dollar. 5 billion US dollars, that is 41.4 billion yuan.
In the past 2004, more than 100 charitable foundations in my country raised less than 5 billion charitable funds. Jiangshi Group and Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group immediately spent more than 40 billion to do charity. With such a large sum of money, no wonder Jiang Feng was worried about handing over to other charitable foundations to operate. After all, for such a large amount of money, anyone who has a little thought will suffer a lot of losses for Jiangshi Group and Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group.
At the same time, Premier Wen also understood that 99% of the 5 billion US dollars probably came from Jiang Feng, the richest man in the world, and it can even be said that 100% came from Jiang Feng, because Premier Wen knew that the major managers of Jiang Family Group and Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group were actually Jiang Feng’s women, and the money they paid was naturally considered to be from Jiang Feng.
He looked at Jiang Feng with some admiration. Although he knew that Jiang Feng had a net worth of 200 billion US dollars, most of the money was real estate, and it would be good if the real working capital was 200 billion US dollars. Now Jiang Feng suddenly took out 5 billion US dollars to do charity, which shows Jiang Feng's courage.
"Okay, I will say hello to the relevant departments for this matter." Premier Wen agreed.
"Then I will thank the Prime Minister for your strong help," Jiang Feng said.
Premier Wen’s guess was good. Ninety-nine percent of the 5 billion US dollars were produced by Jiang Feng, Gao Ziyi, Li Yuhan and others, and they all raised 50 million US dollars together.
After Gao Ziyi and Jiang Feng talked about this, Jiang Feng promised that no matter how much money Gao Ziyi and the others raised, he would take out a hundred times the money.
Several women were also cruel enough to take out all the private money they saved over the years, and raised 50 million US dollars, which made Jiang Feng blew up a lot of blood.
After the matter was almost done, Jiang Feng was about to ask Ye Lanqiu and the others to come out for dinner. Unexpectedly, before he got up, Ye Lanqiu and Mingji came out by themselves.
Jiang Feng smiled. He knew that these two girls knew that Jiang Feng had something to talk about to invite Premier Wen to dinner, so he deliberately avoided it.
Ye Lanqiu and Mingji came out and naturally started eating.
During the meal, everyone was having a meal, and Ye Lanqiu and Mingji expressed their desire to take a photo with Premier Wen.
"Oh, of course it's OK!" Premier Wen nodded in agreement with a smile.
After taking a photo together, Premier Wen made a request that surprised Jiang Feng and Ye Lanqiu and others, that is, to ask for a signature of Ye Lanqiu and Mingji. After Premier Wen explained the reason, Jiang Feng couldn't help but sigh.
It turned out that the signature that Premier Wen asked for was for his granddaughter, who was also a fan of Ye Lanqiu and Mingji.
This made Ye Lanqiu and Mingji a little excited. What an honor to have their fans, the Prime Minister's granddaughter.
Jiang Feng is very calm. With Ye Lanqiu's popularity in China now, there are almost very few people who are not her fans. It can be said that Ye Lanqiu, who has been nominated for the Oscar Best Actress, is a well-deserved number one figure in the domestic film and television industry.
Ming Ji has also appeared in many well-known film and television works over the years. She is also a first-line star in China, so she naturally has many fans.
After dinner, Premier Wen left first. He was very busy and was able to take time to go to Jiang Feng’s appointment, which was already very considerate.
"You have a good relationship with Premier Wen?" Ming Ji asked Jiang Feng with some excitement.
"Oh, that's OK. As long as there is no big deal, you can usually see it at any time." Jiang Feng nodded and replied.
"I have always admired Premier Wen very much. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to have dinner together today. I really can't imagine." Ming Ji said with some emotion.
Ye Lanqiu said from the side: "Actually, you can do whatever you want to eat with my Xiaofeng."
"Can Chirac be OK?" Mingji immediately thought of French President Chirac, who was tortured by corruption accusations at this time, so he asked.
In 1995, then Paris Mayor Chirac was elected president of France. Since then, some people accused him of making false positions when he was the mayor of Paris and embezzling public funds to enrich his party's personal pockets. Chirac has always denied this accusation and used the president's judicial immunity to avoid being prosecuted.
In 2002, Paris municipal officials filed a civil lawsuit claiming that when Chirac was mayor, he spent millions of euros on public funds to spend luxury French meals, including expensive foie gras and truffles. The allegations were later dismissed.
In 2003, investigators said Chirac had enjoyed multiple luxury holidays with his wife and daughter between 1992 and 1995, and the $307,000 fee was backed by cash of suspicious origin. Chirac insisted that the income was legal, but the real source of the money has not been confirmed yet.
Just this year, media said that dozens of Chirac's assistants were involved in a Paris school building construction contract with a total of 2.5 billion euros, illegally introducing his funds to the Popular Movement Alliance Party, earning 50 million euros.
"A small matter." Jiang Feng nodded and replied, then asked her, "Do you want to have dinner with him in China or in France?"
"Haha..." Ming Ji laughed after hearing this, "I'll talk about it when I think of it."
While chatting and laughing, Mingji received a call from her assistant, saying that the director team was contacting her.
After hearing this, Ming Ji went to the landline next to her and dialed the director back.
Ming Ji recently played a role in a costume drama, and the film pay was also very high, but this drama was not invested by Jiang's Entertainment Company, but a Beijing entertainment company borrowed from Jiang's Entertainment Company. Ming Ji had no arrangements and took on the drama. It was not long before the filming started, and it would take about two or three months to finish.
"Dining party...I just had a meal..." Ming Ji said with a frown.
"Mr. Zhu of Xiaoen Group rarely has time. It's not good for you to come here, right?" said the director. "They are investors, and we always have to rely on investors to support this drama. Why don't we pay the actors for anything? You'd better come here and just treat it as a meal, and there's nothing else."
"Hey hey!" Before Mingji could say a few words, the other party hurriedly left the address and hung up the phone.
Ming Ji walked out of the suite with a little depressed mood and muttered, "This person is really, can you have to eat lunch twice?"
Ye Lanqiu heard it from the side and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ming Ji told her about the director's call to accompany her to have dinner, and said unhappily: "This kind of thing is inevitable as long as it is an artist, but I feel annoyed when I think about dealing with those people."
"Then don't go." Ye Lanqiu said, "It's just filming. At worst, it's just not filming. Or let them change the sponsor. How about I invest money for you to film?"
"You are willing to bear to... why don't you let him invest?" Ming Ji smiled and said, "I said to Jiang Feng with a smile.
Ye Lanqiu said seriously: "If you don't understand him, he is just a big bad wolf. Are you afraid that he will eat you at any time?"
"What are you talking nonsense? This is a slander of my reputation." Jiang Feng listened on the side and said seriously, "I am much more serious than being naughty. You don't just compare me with any big bad wolf, I'm unhappy."
"Who is the vulgar?" Ming Ji looked confused after hearing this.
"That's his slander. The sloppy slander is Liu Xiahui. The legendary man who can sit still without any worries." Ye Lanqiu explained that she had been with Jiang Feng for a long time, and many slanderers could be found out at this time.
