This time, Feng Yu's returns from the US stock market were not high. It was even lower than the Fu Family and the Li Family. But the Fu Family and the Li Family did not know that Feng Yu was more interested in those financial companies with potential.
Most of Feng Yu's money was used to acquire these companies, and his returns were not high. But after these companies were integrated, Minsheng Bank will grow rapidly, and there will not be many obstacles. This was what Feng Yu wanted.
Also, Feng Yu had invested the most in the oil futures market, and he will get the highest returns. Feng Yu had even secretly invested in some politicians in Europe and the US. He wants them to protect his future investments in Europe and the US.
Feng Yu was in a good mood these few days. He had recovered his investments in the North American stock market, and the oil futures market was still falling. Feng Yu added some short contracts, and he is sure that the oil will fall below 60 USD, and his assets will continue to rise.
But at this time, Ralph called him and told him a piece of news that made him very unhappy.
"Boss, the National Charity Foundation wants to contact you. They want to invite you to attend their charity auction next week."
To Feng Yu, these charity auctions were just for show. If you want to donate money, just donate. What's the point of holding these stupid auctions?
It was just to show off, and many celebrities and politicians were using these auctions to increase their popularity. In Feng Yu's previous life, there were many cases of charity auctions, and the actual amount of donations received was much lower than the total amount of the auctions. This was because some people were faking it.
I bid for a painting for 500,000 USD and then paid the organizer 50,000 USD and 100,000 USD. After that, this person can advertise that he had spent 500,000 USD on charity at XX Charity Auction, and the actual amount received was only 100,000 USD.
Feng Yu hated these types of people. If you don't want to donate and say that it is your hard-earned money, Feng Yu can understand. But if you don't want to donate more and still pretend to be a philanthropist, then you are just a prostitute and still want to be a chaste woman!
"What is the purpose of this auction?" Feng Yu didn't mind asking someone to donate money on his behalf if it was for poor or war-torn countries' children's schooling and medical expenses.
"It's to help the unemployed people in America, to give them some help in their lives, so that they can have Christmas presents!"
Feng Yu: "…"
It was only October and Christmas was still far away. What did it have to do with him that it was almost Christmas?
Feng Yu felt that it was ridiculous to ask for donations just to buy gifts for these people. It was like a leader visiting a needy family during the New Year and ended up giving them some candy.
If they had the money to buy candy, they might as well exchange it for rice, flour, meat, oil or something else. It was more affordable. Compared to eating sweets during the Spring Festival, those poor families would definitely want to have a full meal.
They would be happier if you could give them jobs or find them something that would make them money.
Feng Yu was not interested in helping the unemployed in the United States. What does it have to do with Feng Yu that the US is so poor? Doesn't the US have the highest income in the world? Isn't it the most developed and powerful country?
They spend hundreds of billions of USD on wars every year for several years, and they want us to donate money to help the poor? Why?
Why don't the big financial groups in the US donate money? I had invested a lot in the US, but I had paid taxes legally. There are too many people in the US who evade taxes.
Many people claim that the US is good, high salaries, and low prices are all fake. If you really live there, you will find that just the various taxes alone can drive you crazy. You must have a lawn in front of your house to maintain the greenery of the entire community. If you don't have a lawn, you will be fined. If you don't take care of the lawn, you will be fined again.
You must pay taxes on your house and your lawn every year. Cars might look cheap, but you will have to pay a lot of taxes to maintain them.
The stars of the Wind and rain team, like Pierce, might have an annual salary of more than 10 million. But after the taxes, his salary will be reduced by more than 40%, and he will get less than 10 million USD.
Even so, Pierce is forced to donate a lot of money every year, and he is not willing to do so. He had trained hard and relied on his coaches and sparring partners to help him play. When he is injured, who cares about him? He had worked so hard to earn money, and why should he donate it?
Most players will retire before they reach 40 years old. What will he depend on to make a living? What will his family depend on? You all have pensions from other jobs, but players don't. If they did not accept Feng Yu's advice and invest a lot of money in Wind & Rain Consulting, they will be worried about the rest of their lives. Many sports stars go bankrupt after they retire.
"Boss? Boss? Are you still listening? "Ralph asked over the phone.
"Yes. I am listening. I am not interested in this charity auction. "
"But Boss, some people had posted about the donations of some tycoons on the internet. They pointed out that your donation is very low." Ralph reminded Feng Yu carefully.
My donation is very low?!
Just Tai Hua Charity Foundation's donations are astronomical every year. Look at the schools in Hua Xia, Tai Hua Buildings, stadiums, etc., and you will know how much Feng Yu had donated.
Also, Feng Yu's donations are the highest every time China is hit by a disaster. He is always ahead of the rest, regardless if it's the charity or himself.
If your company is donating 100 million RMB, then I will donate 100 million USD. If it is not enough, I will donate another 100 million USD.
Also, not only Hua Xia, Feng Yu had also donated a lot to Africa. Many children in Africa are pitiful, and Feng Yu does not have the ability to change the political system there. But he can help the children to receive education and change their lives slowly.
This amount is not a small amount.
But Feng Yu's donations in developed countries are very little. You are a developed country, and why do you need donations? What is the government doing?
Moreover, the number of people in the United States who swindle benefits and insurance money was the highest in the world. Many people were not really poor.
Also, many tycoons in the US claim to donate all their assets to charity. But these are all bullshit. They are only doing this to avoid the high inheritance taxes. That charity foundation is still under their control.
Was there anyone who had truly donated all of their assets? Yes, but it is very rare.
"Ignore those rumors on the internet. I don't need them to judge how much I have donated. Come and talk to me when they have donated more than me!"
Those who had donated less than me are not qualified to talk to me!
