Chapter 929 Angels and Demons
On the evening of February 7th, the Consulate General of the Rabbit Country in New York held the 2008 Happy Chinese New Year, a night of Chinese culture.
In the speeding car, Ivana was wearing a black overcoat with a few pieces of velvet stitching, and a dress with a layer of red tulle and black lace stitching on the inside. Her wasp waist highlights her proud bust, which is very stunning.
And Andy was just wearing a black suit with a slim fit, and a red striped tie was particularly conspicuous.
The two of them clasped their fingers together, Ivana smiled sweetly, her red lips parted slightly, and she revealed her white teeth, and said, "I'm a little surprised how much you attach importance to Rabbit Country."
"Don't be surprised, their market is too big. Now many people still look at the rabbit country with old eyes, thinking that it is still backward and outdated. Americans don't care about other countries except the United States. Some people don't even know that Australia is a country...
After the Olympics, all the western world will know how high the development of Rabbit Country has reached. The developed countries such as the United States and Britain are old industrial countries, and all infrastructure projects are old, but everything in Rabbit Country is brand new. I went there twice and left a deep impression on me. To be honest, your group should also make plans early. The Rabbit Country is the fastest growing national economy in the world. If you want to make money, you should hurry up. "
Ivana nodded, hesitated for a while, and finally said softly: "Honey, you should also pay attention, after all, your identity is somewhat different, and association with Rabbit Country will inevitably make some people suspicious, after all, ideology... "
"I know, don't worry about this, I have a sense of propriety, here, hehe, I'm a little flattered, the leader is the Consul General, let's go, just say Happy New Year, they will be very happy." Andy saw from the hall A group of consulate staff in suits and leather shoes who came out of the hospital came out, but their bodies were straight and a little tense.
The car door was opened, and Andy got out of the car with a smile on his face, turned around and stretched out his hand to help out the proud figure of Ivana, and walked forward with his fingers clasped together and a smile on his face.
"Welcome, Mr. Smith..."
"Hehe, Happy Chinese New Year, Your Excellency the Ambassador."
"Haha, Happy Chinese New Year." Ambassador Peng smiled brightly. For Andy Smith, no matter his background, wealth, or his talent and influence, they all attach great importance to him, not to mention he has Han blood and is fluent in Chinese. , The knowledge of the Chinese culture is a natural intimacy.
Of course, the main reason is that after such a long time, they can be sure that Andy Smith is the kind of rich and famous person who has a good impression of China,
In particular, the meaning represented by his surname cannot be ignored by anyone.
"This is my girlfriend, Ivana..."
"Hello, Miss Ivana, welcome..."
"Hello, Your Excellency, Guojian is good."
"Haha, Happy Chinese New Year! It's cold outside, let's go in, this way please."
Andy looked back at the eight bodyguards who were following him, and at the embassy military attache who was a bit embarrassed. He naturally knew why he was in trouble, and said to Kenny: "Just follow along."
Kenny nodded without any expression on his cold face, turned around and gave some instructions, and after disarming all the weapons, he turned and followed Andy and his party. The people in the embassy, including Ambassador Peng, showed kindness smile.
Andy groaned inwardly, knowing that in the place of the Celestials, there is no need to worry about safety issues at all. They are more concerned about the safety of the guests than anyone else. Our Celestials are good at this aspect. When others give face, they naturally want to give more face.
Andy and Ivana walked into the folklore activity hall with their fingers clasped together, and they were dazzled by a burst of spotlights. The successive clicking sounds and bright flashing lights made all the guests who came to the event feel curious and looked sideways at the door.
Seeing that it was Andy and Ivana, they couldn't help talking about it, and some people were surprised and exclaimed.
You know, Andy Smith usually rarely attends events, even some reception parties, and it is rare to see this young man of the hour. I didn't expect to see him here.
Especially when the influence of the Super Bowl is at its peak, Andy's popularity in New York is unparalleled. So soon it was surrounded by spectators.
Andy and Ivana waved and greeted everyone with warm smiles. Accompanied by Ambassador Peng, they visited the folk arts, calligraphy, paper-cutting, sugar figurines, and Peking opera of the Chinese dynasty. . .
A group of people stood in front of the stage, listening to the quintessence of Chinese culture, while a staff member in Tang suit was teaching Ivana about Peking Opera in English. Andy and Ambassador Peng communicated with each other with smiles on their faces.
"Mr. Smith, I would also like to thank you for your donation to the rain, snow and freezing disasters that are suffering in the south of our country..."
"It's just a small effort. I believe that the government and people of the Rabbit Country are capable of responding to challenges, overcoming difficulties, and defeating disasters. I also appreciate your government's rapid mobilization of resources for disaster relief. Other countries really need to learn from it.
I have spoken with Liu Qiangxi from Jingxi Shopping Mall of Tianchao. Jingxi Shopping Mall will donate all the disaster relief materials in the warehouses in Shanghai and Yangcheng for free, hoping to help the people in the south to tide over the difficulties. . . "
"Thank you very much..." Ambassador Peng sincerely thanked Andy. The money is okay, but now even if there are supplies, they can't be deployed to the south, because the traffic has been seriously affected, and some places don't have warm clothes at all. Although Jingxi opened the warehouse this time and donated daily necessities, although it was a drop in the bucket, it was better than nothing. After all, the south is really cold and there is nowhere to hide.
. . . . . .
"Honey, what are you thinking?" Ivana blushed and lay in Andy's arms, her chin resting on Andy's chest, the undiminished hunk between her brows made her very special The charming and moving.
Andy stroked her bald back, lowered his head and smiled and said, "I want you to be the director of the Smith Charity Foundation."
Ivana's lazy and blurred eyes lit up, a pair of jade-like arms wrapped around Andy's neck, stretched her neck, kissed him on the cheek, and said with a charming smile: "I accept your invitation! "
"Hehe." Andy smiled and reached out and tapped the tip of her nose, and said lovingly: "The day before yesterday and yesterday in the southern United States, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Alabama and Mississippi were hit by winter storms and The severe damage caused by the tornado caused at least 54 deaths and hundreds of injuries. I decided to donate 20 million US dollars to help some severely affected victims rebuild their homes. You are responsible for this matter, no problem?"
"Heck, of course it's okay." Ivana was naturally very happy. This kind of charitable behavior had a huge impact on her reputation, not to mention that she knew that the Smith Charitable Foundation was the most important foundation under Andy's name. Not only is the capital huge, but it is likely to become the main fund in the future.
So, it's not just asking her to do charitable business reputation, but more importantly, it's the practical significance of the relationship between the two of them.
"Okay, go to sleep, I will take you to the foundation meeting tomorrow morning and let you officially take office."
"Yes." Ivana agreed with a happy sweet smile.
In the morning of the next day, after introducing Ivana to members of the foundation, a press conference was held and a brief introduction was given, which was to fund the project to help severely affected victims rebuild their homes.
Andy will not favor one another, he is criticized by others, simply donating money is not his style, although the number of people who help is limited, but in the current economic downturn, it has actually given hope to many people, Andy and Yi Fan Na will gain even more.
Andy doesn't like to be God, let alone the Virgin Mary. Charity must have his kind side. Of course, tax avoidance is also one aspect, but the most important thing is that he is willing to let more people believe and feel that miracles will really happen. , there are really miracle surprises and bright hopes.
That's why from time to time he organizes surprises such as fan benefits, lottery draws, and playing games to make money. He wants to spread the word through these methods, so that more people can share the excitement and excitement after the miracle.
It's very similar to a certain Hollywood male superstar (according to legend, it's Tobey Maguire, that's the Spider-Man, I'm a typical jerk!), the favorite thing to do is to see people who lose all their money at the poker table depressed, Pain, watching them go to the abyss, enjoying the transformation that brings pain to others and destroys the lives of others feels the same.
It's just that Andy is an angel, and some people like to be a devil! 8)
