Chapter 95: I'm Going to Donate Too

After leaving Old George, Jin Xiantai and his party returned to the banquet hall.

At this time, in the banquet hall, the matter of 'public charitable donation' is in full swing.

"I donated 20,000 US dollars to support the Police Family Welfare Fund. I hope that the police officers can better serve the Los Angeles area and don't have to worry about their families."

"I'm donating $60,000 to the Los Angeles Fire Department Fund!"

"I'm donating $40,000 to the LA Department of Education Fund!."

this is okay too?

Kim Hyun-tae looked at those guests, calling out the number of money he wanted to donate from time to time, and who they donated to, feeling a little too incredible.

Fresh!

This thing is so new!

Public charitable donations like this correspond to specific projects that are funds established by public departments such as police stations, firefighting, and education.

It stands to reason that such a department should not be supported by state financial allocations? Even the foundations under various departments can't do this.

how!

Just come out to raise donations! ?

It's really weird.

As Kim Hyun-tae, who doesn't know much about the United States in parallel time and space, he really can't accept what is happening in front of him.

But existence is reasonable, even if he can't accept it for a while.

This place is different from Huaxia. If it is in Huaxia, then such a public sector does need state funding support, and it is still a special allocation.

Even funds are controlled by the state.

But it is different in the United States. Although the federal government will also allocate funds to the states to support the development of public utilities in the states, the little money allocated by the federal government is simply not enough.

At most, it is just to maintain the operation of these departments.

As for benefits or something, then don't think about it.

Therefore, civil servants in the United States are actually very miserable and far less happy than Chinese civil servants.

In this way, in order to have some legal benefits, the civil servants in the United States came up with a way.

That is to set up a fund and find someone to provide 'charitable donations to public affairs' for yourself!

Yes, you read that right, that's what it means.

Moreover, most of these donations are used to repair old facilities and buy new equipment, and will not be cashed in to civil servants in these departments.

At most, when you buy a house, start a family, or have practical difficulties, you can get a low-interest loan from the foundation instead of going to the bank to borrow money.

At the same time, this donation will be specially supervised by someone.

If you want to embezzle or something, don't even think about it.

This can also be regarded as a way to reduce federal financial pressure and local self-reliance, and it can also be regarded as a 'welfare'.

Even though it's just like this, for American civil servants, this is a very good thing, and they are not picky at all.

Pitiful!

What a pity!

Confused Kim Hyun-tae, after learning the truth from Dave, expressed deep sympathy for the American civil servants.

Of course, these are superficial articles.

In fact, the enthusiasm of the guests is also because there are real benefits in it.

If you support the police station, then correspondingly, the police station will be very happy to handle things for you when there is something wrong.

If you support the fire department, you will also receive preferential treatment. After all, if you are in business, the fire department will not dare to offend you.

If you support education, it will be much more convenient for your children to go to school and transfer to another school.

Although the United States did not talk about going through the back door, they will be flexible.

You should know that these donations can be used to buy new body armor for the police station. Is this a good thing to protect the personal safety of police officers?

Yes!

Then you have to thank the donors,

Some things that are not big or small can pass by with one eye closed.

Americans are straight, there is nothing wrong.

But that doesn't mean they can't be polite.

Under the framework of being irrelevant and not violating the law, they will also pay attention to favors.

It's not like Huaxia's side, everything pays attention to human relations.

At this point, Jin Xiantai finally understood the inside story, and at the same time lamented that he was really a noob.

That being the case, should I donate some too?

This is a good opportunity to build relationships with the police station and other public utilities.

Besides, I still have some spare money on hand.

There are more than 70 million in cash in the bank account, and the end of this month is almost at the end of the month, and once the manuscript fee for December is settled, I will get money again.

Although the three companies he has acquired now need a lot of money to support him, Jin Xiantai is very clear that some money should be spent or must be spent, such as 'supporting public charities'.

"Mr. Dave, do you have any blank checks?"

Thinking of this, Jin Xiantai pulled Dave's cuff beside him, and asked in a low voice.

Dave noticed that Jin Xiantai was pulling himself, and looked down at him: "What's wrong? I brought a checkbook."

"Lend me some money, and I want to donate some money, but I don't have a checkbook with me now, so I can only ask you to borrow it here first, and I will transfer the money back to you when I go back."

"How much are you going to donate?"

Seeing that Kim Hyun-tae wanted to make a donation, Dave didn't stop him, after all, it was Kim Hyun-tae's personal matter.

As for borrowing money or something, Dave is not worried that Kim Hyun-tae will not be able to replace it. You must know that the royalties for this December will be settled.

Dave, who knew the sales figures for this month, wouldn't worry about Kim Hyun-tae's repayment at all.

What's more, he is very clear that there are tens of millions of cash deposits in Jin Xiantai's bank account.

So Kim Hyun Tae wanted to borrow money, why didn't he borrow it.

Besides, Kim Hyun-tae borrowed money not to go out to spend time and drink, find girls or take drugs or something, but to donate to public charity.

This is a good thing, so why don't I support it.

Besides, Kim Hyun-tae himself is a relatively well-known young writer, and now he wants to establish a good relationship with these public sector departments, which will also be of great benefit to his future personal image, and the improved image will also lead to the sales of novels.

Dave is not a fool, he thought of a lot of things as soon as he turned his mind.

At the same time, Dave sneaked a glance at Annie who was standing behind Kim Hyun-tae, holding Coco in her left hand and pushing the wheelchair with her right hand. Seeing her, she seemed to express her support and appreciation for Kim Hyun-tae's idea.

Since Anne didn't even seem to object, why did she object? Is he an idiot?

"How much do you plan to donate? It seems that the only fundraisers today are from the police department, fire department, and education department."

Dave took out his checkbook from the inside pocket of the suit, then looked at Kim Hyun-tae and asked.

Facing Dave's question, Kim Hyun-tae thought it over carefully.

His own campaign contribution to George Sr. was $100.

So, donating to public charity now, the amount can't be more than this number.

Otherwise, what do you want old George to think?

But too little will not work, at least let people leave a little impression.

God knows if I will deal with these departments in the future, at least leave some impressions, once I deal with these departments in the future, it will be a bit convenient, right?

Jin Xiantai weighed the gains and losses with the mentality of a small citizen, and finally came up with a decision. He looked up at Dave: "Three departments, each with 500,000 US dollars, I think they should be satisfied with this figure."

After much deliberation, Kim Hyun-tae decided to donate US$500,000 to each of the police, fire, and education departments.

If it weren't for the old George, Kim Hyun-tae would have donated 1 million.

Dave's mouth twitched immediately.

Donate $500,000 and worry about these guys not being satisfied?

joke!

This kind of donation is already a lot, okay?

For Kim Hyun-tae's self-deprecation, Dave really can't laugh or cry.

Fortunately, there is no need for Dave to say anything, Annie has already given Kim Hyun-tae a little reminder for him.

"Don't worry, 500,000 is already a lot. Generally, 100,000 is very generous for charitable donations like this. If you donate 500,000 to them now, it's no wonder they are unhappy."

What, 500,000 and these guys are just assholes?

Kim Hyun Tae couldn't believe everything he heard.

But looking at Dave's face of agreement, Jin Xiantai had no choice but to accept Anne's statement.

Swipe!

Dave has prepared three cash checks, each with a limit of 500,000 US dollars, which can be exchanged at the bank.

Afterwards, Kim Hyun-tae confirmed again, and after getting a clear response, he turned around and raised his right hand in the direction of the small reception desk, waving the check in his hand: "Young writer William King, for the Los Angeles Police Firefighters Foundation, Los Angeles Fire Department Safety Foundation, and Los Angeles Educational Development Educational Foundation each donated $500,000!"

On the small reception desk, the spokesperson of the state public sector, who was still telling the guests about the sufferings of the civil servants and the status of the facilities of each department, suddenly lit up his eyes.

There is a flower in my heart.

Each of the three departments is 500,000 US dollars, which adds up to 1.5 million.

This is really a 'local tyrant'!

Speaking of today's banquet up to now, I haven't fooled myself into donating 2 million yuan, but it has almost doubled this time.

it is good! it is good! it is good!

This is really great!

And Jin Xiantai, who was in a remote corner far from the small ceremony platform, became a little cramped and uncomfortable when he realized that everyone was looking at him.

He's still not used to being the center of attention.

At this time, Annie retreated to the side without showing any signs of holding Coco, hiding among the guests and watching Kim Hyun-tae, who was a little cramped and uncomfortable, and found it very funny that he was squirming in a wheelchair.

The media reporters who came to the banquet gathered around at this time.

Click! Click click!

The flash and the sound of the shutter being pressed continued to sound.

It is obviously unreasonable not to take a picture of such a 'large amount' of donations.

What's more, this is also the biggest donation tonight.

Kim Hyun-tae, who was sitting in a wheelchair, couldn't open his eyes because of the flashing lights, so he could only squint his own eyes.

Dave, on the other hand, took it for granted that he stood by the side of the wheelchair, posing what he thought was a chic look, and asked the reporters to take pictures of himself.

"William, smile, your expression is too stiff, you need to soften it, otherwise the photo will be ugly when it gets published in the newspaper, you have to get used to such things in the future. This is just the beginning, in the future you will inevitably have to deal with the media, What's more, this is Los Angeles..."

While posing in his BI pose, Dave smiled and teased Kim Hyun-tae from time to time.
