On September 11, 1996, Sarah finally saw her new apartment on the Upper East Side.
It's only two blocks away from her mother's rented apartment, so Sarah's mother doesn't have to leave her familiar surroundings.
That's right, the apartment is not for Sarah to live in, but for her mother.
This apartment was built in the 1960s. It is not high-end for the Upper East Side, but it is still worth a lot of money.
It was nominally Sarah who purchased it, but Bai Quinn helped with the down payment of more than 800,000 US dollars, and Sarah insisted on doing the subsequent repayments herself, which meant that from now on she had to work hard to get jobs and advertising endorsements.
As for the down payment, I don’t know when she can afford it.
This is a necessary part of the counterattack to help Sarah establish a persona that values family. Samantha's plan is interlocking.
Bai Quinn had money and didn't need to go to the cave for the time being. He also took the time to send 300,000 to Ray Donovan's daughter and son-in-law.
Ray Donovan's side promises news soon.
Bai Quinn very much hopes to resolve the potential trouble as soon as possible. As for Lei's method, he guessed that he might use evidence of corruption among the police officers involved to threaten them.
Kill the police?
Ray Donovan certainly wouldn't dare!

On September 12, New York-based publisher Doubleday held a charity dinner.
During the dinner, the editor-in-chief of Doubleday and Paul Jones II, the head of the Robin Hood Charitable Foundation, jointly announced that the Robin Hood Charitable Foundation has accepted two more celebrity donors, namely Quinn White and Sarah
·Michelle Gellar.
Bai Quinn donated 500,000 US dollars in his own name and 200,000 US dollars on Sara's behalf.
Now this little girl owes him a total of one million dollars.
Based on the average earning power of a Hollywood B-list actress, it would take Sarah at least three years to pay back the million.
Bai Quinn secretly warned herself that she must not get married impulsively, otherwise she would not get the million back, and she would have to wait until Sarah paid back the money.
Ah, bah, I have to think about it even after paying back the money.
Now let’s talk about this charitable foundation named after the knight-errant who robbed the rich and gave to the poor.
This "Robin Hood Charitable Foundation" has a nickname: "Hedge Fund Charitable Foundation."
Not only does it provide help to the poor in the New York area, but its donations will also be used for stock market investment!
It’s so weird!
Its head, Paul Jones II, is a famous hedge fund manager on Wall Street!
Although the Robin Hood Charitable Foundation promises that the money it earns from the stock market will continue to be invested in charity, anyone who knows a little about how hedge funds play will know how many tricks there will be.
Anyway, the money was donated, and Bai Quinn didn't expect to get it back. He didn't have any objection to how the foundation was used, as long as the donation receipt he got was tax deductible.
It's such a weird charity foundation. Anyone can donate if they want. They must get approval from the board of directors before they can donate.
The number one person on the board of directors is John F. Kennedy Jr., the son of former President John F. Kennedy.
This high-profile son of a commander-in-chief lost his job as an assistant district attorney in Manhattan because he failed to pass the professional examination. He has just founded his own political magazine "George".
The cover of the first issue of the magazine boldly used the supermodel Cindy Crawford, and made Cindy wear a wig, stand at the waist, and unbutton her breasts to reveal her underwear. The movements and wig cosplayed the famous image of the founding father George Washington.
This made this political magazine an instant hit, but subsequent criticism also continued, some of which were suspected of vilifying the founding father.
John F. Kennedy Jr. is rumored to be running for the Senate seat in Manhattan, New York, that was vacated in 1999.
Consider that California's Arnold Schwarzenegger is married to John F. Kennedy Jr.'s cousin and has been involved in Republican activities since 1988.
One east and one west, one donkey and one elephant, if both ends work together, maybe the Kennedy family will be revived in the future.
The reason for the connection with the Kennedy family has to start with Sarah's mother.
The school where Sarah's mother taught happened to be the parish of Jacqueline Kennedy, the widow of President Kennedy. The elderly Jacqueline was passionate about education and charity, so she got to know Sarah's mother.
Due to Sarah's status as a child star, the child star from the Upper East Side would be invited to attend various events organized by Jacqueline every year, such as the anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
After Jacqueline's death, Sarah's mother still maintained contact with her daughter, Caroline Kennedy, and Sarah went to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, to ask for Caroline Kennedy's help.
The little girl her mother liked back then had grown up. Caroline still recognized the old friendship between the two families, so she helped two things. One was to introduce Bai Quinn to Goldman Sachs's financing channels, and the other was to help them open
A door recommended them to enter the "Robin Hood Charitable Foundation".
Quinn Bai and Sarah got the "tickets", which made the other couple who participated in the charity dinner extremely jealous.
Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow, who just announced their engagement, were also invited to attend the dinner.
Although Doubleday has lost its glory like the setting sun, the other host of the dinner and the "Robin Hood Charitable Foundation" who work closely with Doubleday have great energy.
Robin Hood's board of directors includes the Kennedy family, many executives from Goldman Sachs, large business executives such as GE's Jeffrey Immelt, and media industry figures such as ABC's popular host Diane Sawyer.
celebrity.
It can be said that Robin Hood's board seat is the ticket to New York's new upper class.
Gwyneth Paltrow has a good family background and is Spielberg's goddaughter. She has always been eager to go further and she knows the rules of the game very well.
After getting the "Robin Hood" ticket, after a few years of operation, you can use your star status to make public appearances for charity or other things, and if you accumulate enough points, you may be able to get that ticket.
A passport to high society.
It was a rare occasion for "Robin Hood" to issue "tickets" to Hollywood stars, but it was given to the little girl who had been confused all night and her muscular boyfriend. It was a waste!
In 1996, Gwyneth Paltrow's career development encountered a bottleneck. Except for "Emma", which did well at the box office, the other two movies she starred in were all flops. Her fiancé seemed to be even more unlucky.
Both of the movies received average reviews. "Sleeper", which will be released in October, is said to be of good quality, but Brad Pitt only plays a small supporting role in it.
The peak period of a Hollywood actress is only a few years. Gwyneth Paltrow is already twenty-five, and her time is running out. She is also thinking about how to get something like "if she doesn't have a good backer."
What about opportunities like "Robin Hood Ticket"?
It seems that only greater fame can make those "old money" accept themselves, like ABC's Diane Sawyer.
Oscar, only the Oscar statuette can make her famous overnight.
Just as she was thinking about the golden Oscar, a chubby guy came into Gwyneth Paltrow's sight.
Harvey Weinstein, isn’t he a walking Oscar trophy?
With his increasingly round belly, Harvey passed by Gwyneth Paltrow and walked quickly towards Quinn and Sarah.
"Mr. Weinstein..."
Harvey turned a deaf ear to Gwyneth Paltrow's call. He still had important things to talk to Quinn.
"QB! It's really yours! I couldn't have imagined what you did! This time we will win!" Harvey tried his best to raise his hand and pat Bai Quinn on the shoulder.
"I would like to ask you to help arrange that interview."
"It will be published as soon as possible tomorrow. I guarantee that the relevant content will appear in several mainstream newspapers. How did you hook up with the Kennedy family?" Harvey asked mysteriously with a smile on his fat face.
"How do you call hooking up? Sarah was very popular with Ms. Jacqueline when she was a child." Bai Quinn briefly talked about the origin of Sarah and the Kennedy family. Although the connection is not close, people are willing to help, which means that you are still
Helpful value.
"oh……"
Harvey showed his original expression and looked at Quinn again.
In Hollywood, being able to be a softie is also a skill. Brad Pitt, who just tried to get close to me, is an example of being a softie.
"Come on, QB, let's talk about "Good Will Hunting"..."
