"Are there not many people watching the money in my pocket?" Feng Yi remained calm.
"That's right." Feng Chi sighed and continued, "Do you remember Brother Xu? Wang Xuqin, the 'Master Qin' we knew before."
Feng Yi nodded: "Remember."
The name they heard often when they were in middle school is very famous in a certain circle.
Brother Xu, or Young Master Qin, is what everyone calls him.
Brother Qin sounded like he was taking advantage of others, so Wang Xuqin also asked everyone to call him the middle character of his name.
"Why, does it have anything to do with him this time?" Feng Yi asked.
"I owe him a favor. Come over and send you an invitation." Feng Chi scratched his head and talked to Feng Yi.
There was a little trouble with a crew that Feng Chi had worked for before, and Wang Xuqin happened to be there to help solve the problem. Feng Chi owed him a personal favor.
"I used to call him Young Master, but when he came to see me this time, he asked me to call him Brother Xu!"
Feng Chi gave him a "you know" look and said, "I think he has bad intentions for you! He must be interested in the money in your pocket! He wants you to support their foundation more."
"Foundation?" Feng Yi thought of something.
"Yes, it's their Mingyao Fund, have you heard of it? It's a charity fund-raising event only for the younger generation."
The Wang family where Wang Xuqin lives is a wealthy family in a wealthy city. In the first year after the abnormal climate period ended, Wang Xuqin's father initiated the establishment of a foundation.
During the 20 years of the abnormal climate period, natural and man-made disasters continued. At that time, public welfare and charity activities did make a lot of contributions. However, as society became increasingly stable and life became more colorful again, various foundations also had more tricks.
The Mingyao Fund is a special fund established under Wang Xuqin's father's foundation. Wang Xuqin is the chairman. The annual Mingyao Charity Auction raises funds through auctions and uses them for certain public welfare projects. There are many of these, but not many.
It's special. What's special is that Mingyao Auction only invites the younger generation to participate.
Wang Xuqin's father said this: "Young people, when they gather together to communicate, they feel free and lively."
Participants in the "Ming Yao" event are also top second and third generation rich people.
How many people are trying to get an invitation, but the connections there are worth spending money on!
Feng Yi was not invited last year because Feng Yi did not meet the threshold.
After all, this activity is asking you to spend money, and your assets must be higher than a certain amount. Generally speaking, those who can participate are those who have their own companies, industries or equity. If you only rely on the monthly allowance given by your family,
I can't stand up to that kind of situation, I have no confidence.
Feng Chi couldn't afford it last year, but this year he was okay, barely qualified, and his parents had to support him. It was equivalent to spending money to buy tickets, go in and make more friends, and it was worth the money spent.
Besides, the money was not given to the Wang family, it was just for charity!
Feng Chi was very happy to get this participation quota. But he was not sure whether Feng Yi was interested. If Wang Xuqin hadn't come to him, he wouldn't have come to Feng Yi to tell him. His brother could spend his money however he wanted.
But the feeling of being stared at is not very pleasant.
"Last time I participated in a charity event for celebrities and artists to advocate social responsibility and so on. I donated 500,000. I would like to donate more, but each circle has its own rules and cannot be casual. But Brother Xu, this
This charity auction is different from the one I participated in before, it’s very casual.”
Fengchi emphasizes the word "casual".
The purpose is very clear. This kind of activity is to make people pay. But it is also quite transparent.
You can check the donation details. Some auctions donate half of the amount for charity, but Mingyao donates all of it.
Feng Yi had known "Ming Yao" before, but he didn't have much objection.
For some rich second and third generations, money is not the problem, but how to spend it is.
"Mingyao" just provides such an occasion.
"What are the auction items?" Feng Yi asked.
Feng Chi raised his eyebrows and came over: "Are you really interested?"
He followed Feng Yi
Said: "Brother, you should know that when they invite you, the first reason is to get to know you. You are in the limelight now. Secondly, now everyone knows that you are rich. If they call you over, they will definitely ask you to spend money."
of!
"Other charities may look for tax conveniences, but this one is purely to make young wealthy children like us spend more money! Young people are prone to impulsivity, and once the atmosphere gets hyped, they will spend a lot of money.
"Moreover, how much money you spend on this kind of activity, and then certain news gets out the next day. Under the pressure of public opinion, if you don't spend money or you spend less money, it is easy to attract criticism."
Feng Chi was worried that Feng Yi didn't know, so he told him more things he had encountered and heard before.
Feng Yi: "I know, the money spent is not going to them anyway, but to the charity fund."
Feng Chi: "That will also benefit their foundation."
After thinking about it, Feng Chi added: "Also, because the participants in this event are basically young people, people from our parents' generation are not included in the invitation. It is also because our parents are not present, so they may have fun.
It’s quite crazy. If you don’t like that kind of atmosphere, just refuse it. Anyway, brother, you don’t want to be in their circle.”
Feng Yi thought for a moment and asked, "What else did he tell you?"
Feng Chi smiled: "In Mingyao's event, the auction items will not be announced to the public, but Wang Xuqin told me that there is a black diamond in the auction, which his family bought from abroad before, and it will be placed here this time.
At the auction."
"Black Diamond?"
Feng Yi thought to himself: Does everyone think that I am interested in diamonds?
"Cut or raw stone?" Feng Yi asked.
Feng Chi thought for a while and said: "The rough stone is not big, but they won't put it up for auction of this nature."
"Original stone."
Feng Yi really became a little interested.
Feng Chi said: "After the Blue Diamond incident, everyone knows that you have money, and they just want to take more money from your pocket."
Previously, I only talked about Fengyi's identity as one of the shareholders of the Ancestral Factory, but everyone knows that the shareholders of the Ancestral Factory have little say, and there is no clear idea of how rich they are.
Now everyone understands that if it were not for sufficient funds, Feng Yi would not have kept such a large blue diamond in his hands. Someone else would have taken advantage of the publicity to auction the diamond. Or cooperate with those legendary master craftsmen,
Turn raw stones into more sparkling diamond jewelry, maximizing their value.
Feng Yi didn't do either of these things, which means he was not short of money.
I’m not short of money. Come on, guys, let’s play together and do charity by the way!
Unlike Feng Yi's previous donations to remote area observation stations or other ecological projects, this kind of charity belongs to a certain circle of games.
Exaggeration is indeed exaggeration, but it can indeed harvest a lot of money for public welfare projects.
In the past, when supervision was not particularly strict, it was easy to take advantage of loopholes. After strengthening management in recent years, it is still okay.
This was not the first time that Feng Yi participated in this kind of charity auction, so he knew it well.
Seeing that Feng Yi was indeed interested, Feng Chi recalled Wang Xuqin's words at that time and said: "He said that he called you personally and sent you an invitation letter. He sent it to you. When he came to me, he said
I’m worried that you’ve been busy lately and haven’t been able to see me, so I came over to ask. It’s a euphemism, but it’s actually to prevent you from ignoring me!”
Some time ago, due to the diamond matter, there were too many unknown calls, and Feng Yi directly asked Xiao Yi to help deal with them.
Feng Yi recalled that he had indeed heard Xiao Yi talk about this matter, but he didn't take it to heart at the time because he was not interested.
"Have you seen the invitation letter?" Feng Chi asked.
"I've seen it before. Wait, let me look it over."
Feng Yi left for a moment and brought another box over.
Opening the cover, there are stacks of greeting cards, invitations, etc. inside.
During the Blue Diamond controversy some time ago, he received too many such things, and he even wrote many replies.
Personal post designed and produced by the butler, handwritten reply.
He has not reached the level where he can completely ignore certain etiquette.
Speaking of this, Feng Yi thought to himself: Xiao Ren can give Xiao Ren a try on those replies that have not yet been written. Xiao Ren has been imitating handwriting recently.
Originally, Xiao Ren had some scruples in this regard. After all, handwriting involves too much privacy and she did not dare to overstep it.
But Feng Yi didn't care.
Those really core things cannot be pried by handwriting, including his small treasury.
For minor replies, Xiao Ren can practice writing first, and he is only responsible for checking them one last time.
As a stand-in, I started by writing replies for my boss.
Feng Yi mentally considered asking Xiao Ren to write for him, and without stopping, he rummaged through the box.
Next to him, Feng Chi was shocked by this scene.
There are several invitations in the box. They are very exquisite and gorgeous, with large logos printed on the surface. They are also world-renowned fashion luxury brands!
Recently, two popular rising stars in the entertainment industry have endorsed this brand, and both sides fought three times!
But here, an invitation from this luxury brand, just like that, randomly placed in a pile of posts.
Feng Chi wanted to say something, but his lips trembled, but he still didn't say it.
I firmly believe in holding my thigh in my heart!
What about Wang Xuqin? Brother Qin is not as good as his own brother!
"Oh, is this it?" Feng Yi picked up an invitation letter.
The logo of "Mingyao" is printed on it.
When I opened it, it turned out to be the event invitation.
Feng Chi took a look and confirmed: "Yes, that's it."
Feng Yi pointed to a code above: "What is the special meaning of the code above?"
Feng Chi: "Oh, this is the identity code corresponding to each invitation letter. The venue of this event is Anseong, where the headquarters of the Founder Factory is located. However, the venue is some distance away from the headquarters of the Founder Factory. It is in the coastal scenic area, where
The Binhai Hotel belongs to his family. For Mingyao's activities this year, a large number of guest rooms will be set aside during those days, and they will be responsible for the food and accommodation of the guests.
"Brother, if you are determined to participate, I will help you activate this code and a room will be automatically assigned. It is said that the rooms are randomly selected, and whichever one is selected will be selected. The auction will be held on the luxury yacht of their hotel, and the rooms will also be randomly selected.
"
"Okay, you try." Feng Yi handed over the invitation letter.
Feng Chi has been activated, and the operation steps are familiar. He quickly opens a page and enters the identity code on Feng Yi's invitation letter.
A page pops up to select your check-in time.
Seeing this, Feng Chi remembered: "Before the Mingyao Auction, they also organized a supercar exchange event. Some people from my supercar club also participated. Brother, if you don't participate in the supercar event, the time will only be based on
You can also fill in the information for the auction casually. This is not important. He just wants to know about it so that it can be easily arranged."
"Supercar exchange event?"
"That's all, show off, blow up mountains and so on."
"Are you joining too?"
"OK."
"Then I'll fill in the same form as you."
"okay!"
When the wind was relaxing, I suddenly realized: "Brother, when the time comes, will you also go for a walk in the car?"
Feng Yi: "Yeah."
Feng Chi was surprised: "You bought a new car?!"
Feng Yi only said: "I got one recently."
When the time comes, he will drive that car out to help his cousin and uncle publicize it. Maybe his cousin and uncle are also not lacking in this kind of publicity, but since they have made such a gift with all their heart, Feng Yi has to drive it out.
Take a walk.
I don't usually use it, so I just participated in this event and could drive it out. Maybe after driving it this time, I had to park it in the garage for a long time.
After Feng Chi filled in the time, he looked at the so-called "randomly selected" room number that popped up and affirmed: "Sure enough, it was a black box operation!"
The best batch of suites must have been assigned to certain designated people. Within this range, the room numbers are truly randomly selected.
Feng Chi knows which room number corresponds to which room.
Feng Yi's room is bigger than his!
"Brother, I want to sleep with you!"
Feng Chi kept talking and quickly helped Feng Yi activate his identity.
"It's done! The number of entourage, assistant bodyguards, etc., will be arranged for up to ten people. You don't need to order extra. If you exceed ten, you can contact us in advance and they will make arrangements there. Bring the invitation letter with the chip inside. When the time comes
Check in via post."
After the quick operation was completed, Feng Chi rubbed his hands: "Brother, are you busy now? If you have time, take me to see your new car?"
