"Do charity? How to do it? I don't know how!" Lai Hao was surprised.
"Uh, you don't know how?" Shi Zhijian was even more surprised.
"Does it mean giving money and rice and noodles?" Lame Hao asked with a wink. "I've seen movies that show it all like this! If it's that simple, I'll let Da Wei and Xi Wei drive to Shek Kip Mei.
Bring out the rice and flour and distribute it to the poor. If anyone dares not to take it, he will be chopped to death!"
"Ahem!" Shi Zhijian choked on his cigarette, looked up at Lai Hao and said, "That kind of charity is just a small show, it's not real, and it can't be put on the stage!"
Lai Hao rolled his eyes and gave Shi Zhijian a thumbs up: "Oh, I know! If you want to be more vigorous, then give out soy sauce again! By the way, the men give out soy sauce, the women give out toiletries, and the children
The toffee that the devil eats! Is this enough?"
Shi Zhijian shook his head: "It's not strong enough! You still can't get on the stage!"
"How could it be? There was food, drink, and toilet water sprinkled on it. It was so exciting! I remember when we smuggled ourselves from the mainland to Hong Kong and lived in Shek Kip Mei. There were so many mosquitoes in the summer that we couldn't even ask for a bottle of toilet water to wipe ourselves with! More
Forget about eating soy sauce and chewing toffee!" The lame man sighed as he remembered the bitterness and sweetness.
"But it's strange. I used to be poorer, but we were very happy together! We drank a bottle of Wujiapi among the brothers. After drinking it happily, we fell asleep without thinking about anything.
Until dawn! I don’t feel that way when I drink foreign wine now!”
Shi Zhijian smiled: "Of course I don't feel that way, people will change! Okay, don't go too far! You know what I mean, what I mean by charity is that you donate money, and you donate a lot at once.
!Donate to the welfare home, donate to charity, or donate to medical hospital!"
Lame Hao scratched his hair with his hands, "It's easy for me to take out the money, but how can I donate it to the welfare home, charity opportunities, and the Laozi Hospital? I don't understand anything! Let me send my brothers to kill people.
, it’s better to send people to the hospital!”
"Now you have a good opportunity!" Shi Zhijian said seriously, "This year, the Hong Kong Rockefeller Charitable Foundation will expand its charity recruitment work, especially in the medical field. It hopes that someone can donate large properties to serve as medical buildings, and the villa you bought for me
It just happens to be useful!”
Shi Zhijian was not joking with Lame Hao.
The Rockefeller Charitable Foundation is spread all over the world, and the most famous one in Asia is the story of how this charitable foundation funded the construction of China's "Union Hospital"!
In the early 20th century, Rockefeller, under the advice of his friend and advisor Frederick Gates, advised Rockefeller not to just be a money-making capitalist. Combined with Rockefeller's suppression of monopolies in the United States at that time, Rockefeller also clearly realized
: "Spreading money means keeping money." Therefore, a large amount of wealth is used to donate to various charitable causes in society.
Rockefeller sent three inspection teams to China for on-site inspections, and finally decided to limit the scope of donations to China to medicine. In 1913, the Rockefeller Charitable Foundation was officially established.
After discussion, it was decided to donate a hospital in China. So where should the hospital be located? In the summer of 1915, the Rockefeller Foundation spent US$200,000 to buy the "BJ Union Medical College".
Since it wanted to build the best hospital in Asia, it was necessary to re-select a site to build a hospital. Finally, the Rockefeller Foundation set its sights on Prince Yu's Mansion. It happened that at this time, the last Prince of Yu, Duan Zhen, was forced to sell his life.
The Palace was purchased by the Rockefeller Foundation for US$125,000.
The "Annual Review of Associated Physicians" records the situation when the Union Hospital was first opened. It records the acquisition of the former site of Prince Yu's Mansion, covering an area of more than 60 acres, and the construction of 14 new houses. The facilities are well-equipped and sophisticated, and famous doctors from all over the world have been hired.
Teach, diagnose and administer medicine.
According to information from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation has invested a total of nearly US$50 million in building BJ Union Hospital.
What did 50 million U.S. dollars mean at that time? A naked astronomical figure! Why was the Rockefeller Foundation willing to invest so much money? At that time, there was a saying in BJ that when the Rockefeller Foundation was building the Union Hospital, it had dug underground
A lot of gold and silver treasures were found, and the value of the things dug out far exceeded the cost of investing in Union Hospital.
Of course, this is just a legend. Facts have proved that the Rockefeller Charitable Foundation has been very helpful to China’s medical industry. No one can deny this!
Now the Rockefeller Charitable Foundation has also begun to engage in medical sponsorship work in Hong Kong. Not long ago, Shi Zhijian read the English "The Standard" and found that this charitable foundation is calling on Hong Kong real estate developers to donate large buildings for hospital construction, and is preparing to establish a branch of Union Hospital in Hong Kong!
Shi Zhijian's idea was very simple, let the lame man donate the villa worth three million in order to gain recognition from the Rockefeller Charitable Foundation.
Doing charity is not done randomly. You must find large-scale charitable organizations with strong strength and strong backgrounds to do it. Only in this way can you increase your own popularity to the highest extent and truly achieve charity!
How did Lai Hao know that there are so many twists and turns in charity? He scratched his scalp again and said: "Ajian, I bought that villa for you! Isn't it a bit unreasonable to donate it to Locke's mother's charity fund now?"
"There's nothing I can't say! I love your villa! To be honest, even if you really give it to me, I can't take it! My sister is here, and she has taught me since I was a child not to take advantage of others!"
"It's okay! I treat you as a brother, and you won't take advantage of me! Besides, it's different now than in the past. Three million is a piece of cake for me, and I can still get it!" Lame Hao vowed, patting his chest.
"The problem is that I don't want my sister to have my legs broken because I took your house!" Shi Zhijian glanced at Lai Hao's lame leg after saying that, "Being a lame is so miserable!"
Lai Hao was stunned. He felt that these words did not sound right to him, but he could not refute it.
"You're right! Your sister is so cruel!" Laihao said with lingering fear, "In this case, I won't force you! Ajian, I have something to say from my heart. I want to find an opportunity to marry your sister off.
!Old aunt, old aunt, maybe she will turn into a tigress in the end! Women who are not nourished by men will be very angry!"
Shi Zhijian couldn't laugh or cry. If Shi Yufeng heard these words, he would probably pull all the hair off Lame Hao's head!
"Besides, please help me!" Lame Hao grabbed Shi Zhijian's arm, "Just like you said, I'm a rough guy, I don't know how to do charity or anything like that! And there's this damn Rockefy, Fei, etc."
!I don’t know it either! Just help me with it, okay?”
When the lame man said "I can't get it", he almost used a pleading voice, and his eyes were pitiful! How could he look like an all-powerful gangster?!
"Yes! Why not?" Shi Zhijian flicked his cigarette out of the car window, "I just happened to have something to do with Mr. Rockefeller, so I just wanted to help you!"
"Thank you so much, A-Jian! You are indeed my good brother!" Laihao held Shi Zhijian's hand tightly and burst into tears of gratitude!
"Don't thank me yet!" Shi Zhijian said solemnly, "I can only help you this time. I can't help you for the rest of your life. If you really want to clear your name and go ashore, then you must remember four words!"
"Which four words?"
"Conquer people with virtue!" Shi Zhijian flicked the ashes of his cigarette gently.
…
For Shi Zhijian, since he wants to invite Rockefeller, he must have a strong stepping stone. Undoubtedly, the villa donated by Laihao is a good choice!
After all, in this era, it is unique to be able to donate a large villa worth three million to charity at once!
Of course, on the surface, Lai Hao was grateful to Shi Zhijian and felt that Shi Zhijian was too righteous and brotherly. In fact, he did Shi Zhijian a big favor!
Seeing that it was getting late, Shi Zhijian said politely to Lai Hao when they were saying goodbye: "It's getting late, Brother Hao, if you don't mind, just have a meal here!"
"Okay!" Lai Hao replied cheerfully.
"Huh?" Shi Zhijian was a little confused, and he had some doubts about how the lame man got to where he is today? This emotional intelligence is too low! You don't know that you and my sister are not on good terms. If you treat me to a meal, we will have sex.
What should I do?
Lai Hao also noticed it, and asked Shi Zhijian with wide eyes: "You weren't being polite to me just now, were you?"
"Ahem, how could that be? I'm a very sincere invitation!"
"That's good!"
…
Shi Zhijian led Lai Hao back to Tanglou again.
The tenants living in the tenement building all looked at him strangely. In the end, Deng Jiugong, the old man, took the initiative and glanced timidly at the lame man who was following Shi Zhijian.
Lame Hao snorted and turned away, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Deng Jiugong then took out a cheap Double Happiness cigarette and handed it to Shi Zhijian, with a smile on his face and said: "Mr. Shi, aren't you moving?"
"Don't move."
"That's good." Deng Jiugong said in relief, "We are all afraid that you will move. If you move, this tenement building will be sold, and then we will be homeless!"
"How could it be? I heard that you are working very hard now, working two jobs a day." Shi Zhijian bit the cigarette in his mouth, and Deng Jiugong helped him light the cigarette.
"Having said that, I can't stand it! I'm helping to guard the door at your company, and at the same time I'm going to the fruit stall to help others carry fruits. It's so hard!" Deng Jiugong sighed.
Shi Zhijian laughed and said, "But I heard from my sister that you are always strong and healthy, and you run into Zhang Alian's house from time to time in the middle of the night! You are very tough!"
"Rumor! That's purely a rumor!" Deng Jiugong denied it flatly, "That was because a rat entered Zhang Ailian's house. I helped catch the rat in the middle of the night!"
Shi Zhijian saw Deng Jiugong's face turned red. He knew that if he continued to ask this old guy, he might "die to prove his ambition", so he smiled and said, "Anyway, I won't move this house for the time being, and the rent won't be increased. You just need to rest assured."
Stay!"
After receiving Shi Zhijian's words, Deng Jiugong felt the big stone hanging in his heart. He hurriedly said to everyone: "Mr. Shi said that we will not move or increase the rent!"
When everyone heard it——
"Thank you Mr. Shi!"
"Mr. Shi, you are such a good person!"
Everyone cheered and cheered, and everyone's face was filled with joy.
They were on tenterhooks these days. Although Shi Yufeng had promised not to increase the rent, everyone knew that despite Shi Yufeng's appearance of being fierce and often scolding her younger brother, Shi Zhijian was actually in charge of this family.
Call the shots!
According to Chinese tradition, boys are in charge, and girls, no matter how capable they are, are just outsiders!
Now that everyone finally got Shi Zhijian's verbal promise, not to mention how happy they were.
Seeing that Shi Zhijian was pretending to be a good old man again, the lame man pulled him upstairs and muttered: "You are stupid! Increase the rent, increase it severely! These people who rush to the street and don't increase the rent can't make any money! Especially!
That Deng Jiugong is an old cunning guy at first glance! He helped people catch mice in the middle of the night and caught them in their crotches!"
Shi Zhijian stared at him, "Have you forgotten what I just said?"
Lai Hao suddenly remembered and slapped his forehead: "You see, I forgot all about it in my hurry! You must convince others with virtue and convince others with virtue!"
The lame man began to mutter, "If you want to clear your name and come ashore, you must be kind-hearted and do more good deeds! The most important thing is to convince others with your virtue!"
…
When Shi Zhijian brought Lai Hao into the house, the nanny Papaya was watching Bao'er doing his homework.
Baoer twirled his fingers under the desk lamp and kept doing arithmetic problems.
The little black dog lay at Bao'er's feet and licked his leg hair.
Shi Yufeng took a rag and wiped the shoe sewing machine that was a relic left by her father. She muttered with an aggrieved face: "I'm sorry, Dad! I wanted to move and help you change to a bigger house! Now the house is not available.
It’s over, it’s over! Ajian’s marriage has to wait a while!”
"Dad, don't be anxious! Anyway, I will take it seriously and will definitely help him find a good house so that he can flourish our Shi family in it!"
After Shi Yufeng finished talking, she looked up and saw Shi Zhijian coming in with Lame Hao. She immediately put down the machine, stood up and pulled Shi Zhijian aside and said, "Ajian, do you owe me a lot of money?"
Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
"You don't have to hide it from me! I've heard all about it!" Shi Yufeng said, pushing a check into Shi Zhijian's hand, "Well, this is two million to buy a villa. Your sister has saved so much money. You
Take it and use it first!”
Shi Zhijian said again: "Huh?"
"What, too little?"
Shi Yufeng was about to take off her gold and silver jewelry again, but Shi Zhijian stopped her immediately, "No need to do this! The money is enough!"
Shi Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief, "If it's not enough, I'll sell this tenement building too! There's also my theater, my tea restaurant, and the mahjong pavilion! In short, you are the backbone of our Shi family.
As long as you don't fall, our Shi family can stand up again!"
Shi Zhijian looked at his elder sister's vows and felt funny at first, thinking that her elder sister had taken the matter too seriously. She was selling real estate and a company. But when he saw his elder sister Shi Yufeng's haggard look and nervous eyes, he
I couldn't laugh anymore. Instead, a warm current surged out of my heart.
How many people in this world can be infinitely kind to you?!
How many people can use all their wealth to help you when you need it most?!
