Chapter 301: Be a Man with 1 Point
Just when Li Dong was feeling a little apprehensive, the organizer counted the total amount of donations for tonight.
"96.86 million!"
This data obviously made the organizers happy, and the deputy director of the Civil Affairs Department who participated in the party laughed.
A charity dinner has raised more than 90 million yuan, which has broken the previous record.
Jiangbei also held a charity gala the year before last, but that time it only raised 30 million yuan, and today it has tripled, far exceeding the organizer's expectations.
Of course, this is also related to the economic development in recent years.
Another point is that tonight's big donors, Yuanfang, Energy Group, and Nonferrous Metals Group, donated nearly 50 million yuan, accounting for more than half of the total.
The organizer had just announced the results, as if to prevent Yuanfang from being pretentious, Xu Shengzhe said: "Tonight's charity dinner raised nearly 100 million yuan, Longhua Group has always been committed to charity, and I myself also fully support charity. Just tonight, I'll make a personal donation of 3.14 million!"
"Crack, clap!"
There was a burst of warm applause, and the leader of the civil affairs department smiled and bowed slightly to Xu Shengzhe.
Including Xu Shengzhe's 3.14 million, the total amount of donations tonight just exceeded the 100 million mark!
This is a great political achievement, and the leaders of the Civil Affairs Department couldn't be more grateful to Longhua and Yuanfang.
The deputy director of the Civil Affairs Department stepped down from the stage and shook hands table by table to express their gratitude.
When they arrived at Li Dong's table, the deputy director tightly held Li Dong's hands, and said affectionately: "Thank you Mr. Li for your support to the people of Su'an!"
Li Dong hurriedly said politely: "Director Wu is polite, this is our due responsibility. Yuanfang is a member of Jiangbei, and if one party is in trouble, all parties will support it. This is the virtue left by our ancestors. Li Dong dare not take credit for it. "
The deputy director smiled even more, shaking Li Dong's hand a few times.
Li Dong was not interested in the old man, so he quickly withdrew his hands after holding it for a while. The old guy's skin was very oily, and after holding it for a while, Li Dong felt that his hands were covered with oil, which was very uncomfortable.
Li Dong was not the only one on the field, and the deputy director naturally couldn't waste too much time with Li Dong.
Getting ready to go to the next table,
A staff member of the Civil Affairs Office hurried over, and then whispered a few words in the deputy director's ear.
The deputy director's face changed slightly, and then he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
When everyone quieted down, the deputy director said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, please be quiet first. You are committed to charity, and your acts of love have touched Jiangbei. In order to thank you for your support to the people of Su'an, the leaders of the provincial party committee came to the venue to thank you. Let's all give a round of applause."
Clap!
The applause was like thunder. Compared with the applause just rushing to the scene, the applause at this moment was definitely not perfunctory.
Everyone turned their attention to the entrance of the studio, and the deputy director also led a few organizer leaders to greet him.
Hu Xiaorui beside Li Dong applauded and said mysteriously: "Li Dong, do you know who is here?"
Li Dong said calmly: "At least he must be a deputy governor."
Hu Xiaorui said with contempt: "Your news is too outdated, right? If there is only one deputy governor, do you think the nonferrous and energy groups can come?"
The top executives of these two enterprises are also at the deputy ministerial level. If there is only one deputy governor, the two companies will not necessarily give face.
While applauding, Li Dong tentatively said, "Then do you know who it is?"
"Of course, let me tell you, I have spent a lot of money to inquire about this news. I came tonight..."
"boom!"
Li Dong didn't hear Hu Xiaorui's words behind, because the studio was already covered by thunderous applause.
Li Dong turned his attention to the gate, and a group of seven or eight people just stepped into the studio.
Li Dong didn't know who others were paying attention to, but the corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched because he saw a person who was reasonable and unexpected.
Shen Qian!
At this moment, Shen Qian was very low-key, walking at the end of the team, and when the team all entered the hall, Shen Qian quietly left the team from the side.
Seeing her looking around in the crowd, Li Dong winked at him and tiptoed towards him.
Li Dong grinned, only then did he have time to pay attention to the pedestrian who just came in.
Li Dong didn't pay much attention to the others, his eyes were on the man at the front of the line.
In his fifties or sixties, with a square face and black hair, he looked nothing special, just an ordinary little old man.
But the man's eyes are very special. When Li Dong looked directly at him, he felt a little sharp, as if he was discovered by the teacher when he made small movements during class, but from another angle, he felt very soft.
These are two different temperaments, but Li Dong feels them both, and there is no sense of disobedience.
The man's walking speed is not fast, but every step is very steady.
When the man reached the center of the crowd, he stopped slowly.
The deputy director of the Civil Affairs Department was about to introduce to everyone. The man waved his hands lightly, then pressed his hands with a smile and said: "Everyone, there is no need for applause. Du is flattered."
Everyone laughed in catering, and then restrained their applause.
The man smiled again when he saw this, and the staff next to him handed it over with the microphone, but the man waved his hand lightly and refused.
Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, the man suddenly bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "On behalf of the people of Jiangbei, the provincial party committee and the provincial government, I sincerely thank you for your generosity!"
Everyone froze for a moment, and then burst into applause that shocked the audience.
There were nearly 300 guests in the studio today, but there are really very few who don't know this person.
Even Li Dong, a guy who doesn't care about current affairs, knew who the man in front of him was at the first glance.
Du Anmin, Jiangbei's first brother.
In the first half hour of the news broadcast, all the TV stations in Jiangbei were under his control. Between 6:30 and 7:00, Du Anmin's figure occupied the main space of local news almost all year round.
Many people did not expect Du Anmin to come.
Of course, there are not a few people who know the news.
For example, nonferrous metals group, energy group, and some other large enterprises.
Apart from them, Li Dong also vaguely guessed.
From the moment Shen Qian let him show off, from the moment Shen Qian didn't accompany him to the dinner party, Li Dong knew roughly who was coming.
But after guessing, he guessed, Li Dong still felt a little surprised when this person came.
It's not that this kind of charity gala has never been held in the past, but at most there will be a deputy governor to support the scene.
Sometimes if the scale is small, let alone the deputy department, you can reach the top with the main hall.
But today, it turned out to be Du Anmin, the top boss in Jiangbei, who came.
Du Anmin didn't say too many polite words, and bowed to thank everyone, which was a bit out of line.
Next, Deputy Director Wu reported to Du Anmin the results of tonight, including a few companies and individuals, including Li Dong and Yuan Fang.
Du Anmin nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then shook hands with everyone to thank them one by one.
Li Dong didn't care about Shen Qian anymore, when Du Anmin came to him, Li Dong rushed to greet him, holding the old man's slightly dry palm with both hands.
Du Anmin stared at Li Dong for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "Very well, Mr. Li and Yuanfang are the mainstays of Jiangbei. I believe you will go further."
Li Dong heard the words and said quickly: "Thank you Secretary Du, I will make persistent efforts."
Du Anmin smiled, nodded and walked towards the next table.
Li Dong still kept his handshake posture, and after a while, he looked at Shen Qian with a dark face and said, "Thirty million!"
Shen Qian was tasting the red wine when she heard the words and asked in surprise: "What thirty million?"
Li Dong gritted his teeth and said, "I donated a total of 30 million to the party. What surprise do you mean?"
Originally, Shen Qian and Du Anmin came together, but Li Dong thought that Shen Qian had already dealt with Boss Du.
Not to mention asking Boss Du to stand up and support Li Dong, at least he should show his goodwill, so that Li Dong feels that his 30 million yuan is not worthless.
But just now Du Anmin didn't say anything at all, and what he said was almost a cliché.
In this case, how could Li Dong not be disappointed.
If Shen Qian hadn't repeatedly said surprises to lure him, Li Dong would never have paid so much money.
Now Yuanfang is short of money. Even if Li Dong has a heart of charity, he will not exceed Longhua Group, let alone non-ferrous metals and energy. Five million should be the top.
But what I didn't expect was that Lao Du came, but he didn't give Li Dong any special treatment at all.
Doesn't this mean that all his 30 million was in vain?
Shen Qian said casually: "Can you be more generous? What's wrong with the 30 million yuan? The people of Su'an are suffering. If you have the money to contribute, it's a merit. It's too snobbish to donate money and ask for something in return."
Li Dong gave her a hard look.
It took a long time before he gritted his teeth and said: "It makes sense, I will repay you well later, and let you have a meritorious deed."
Shen Qian ignored him and savored the red wine in her hand leisurely.
Li Dong didn't say a word, and after a while he said: "Du Qian, do you like gambling very much?"
Shen Qian froze for a moment, then glared at him and said angrily, "Li Dong, are you finding fault?"
"Who's looking for fault? I called Du Qian but didn't call you. Why are you so angry! Can you be more generous?"
Shen Qian almost suffered from internal injuries, and stomped on Li Dong's foot under the table.
Li Dong took a deep breath, bared his teeth and said, "I'm crazy, can I have some quality!"
"You are crazy! If you dare to call me Du Qian again, I will kill you!"
"Then you give me your surprise first, or believe it or not, I'll kill you first!"
Shen Qian was defeated by his shamelessness, and said speechlessly: "Do you know what it means to be impatient and not be able to eat hot tofu? Can you not be so anxious, do you have to let Lao Du tell you in front of so many people, 'Brother, turn around and I I've got you covered', do you think that's possible?"
Li Dong touched his chin, nodded and said, "It makes sense."
Only then did Shen Qian feel relieved.
Then I heard Li Dong's thief said: "You said that if Secretary Du called me brother, what would you call me?"
With black lines all over Shen Qian's face, she said slowly: "Get lost!" (To be continued.)
