[First visit to Africa, Mr. 200 Billion's first trip!] This is the headline of Hua Xia's media. With Bill Gates's wealth of 200 billion USD, his every move is on the front page.
This is not only the front page of the United States. Bill Gates is also on the front page of Hua Xia.
It's amazing that Bill Gates is on the front page of Hua Xia's media more than the United States' media. Hua Xia's media is praising Bill Gates to the skies.
It was not a big deal to just praise Bill Gates. Some media outlets even compared Boss Jia to Bill Gates every day. They said that Bill Gates was Mr. Two Hundred Billion USD, while Boss Jia's personal wealth might have fallen below ten billion USD due to the collapse of the game industry. He was not even one-tenth of Bill Gates's wealth.
Now, even the mobile phone industry had been swept away by Microsoft. It was only a matter of time before Mr. Jia's assets fell out of the top 500 companies in the world. Some media outlets even said that the Da Qian Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Mr. Jia would soon become a billionaire.
"These media are so hard to write about. I almost believe them!" Boss Jia clicked his tongue when he saw this. In fact, many people in the Da Qian Empire believed this and began to worry about whether their salaries would be paid on time.
But some senior executives are willing to give up their salaries to help the company through this crisis.
Boss Jia was very moved. Then, he scolded all these people. Then, he announced that he would give everyone an extra month's salary tomorrow. There was no reason. He was just happy.
After that, all the rumors about Daqian Group's Daqian Group disappeared. But the media is still talking about Daqian Group's bankruptcy.
"Why do you think Bill Gates went to Africa instead of staying in the United States after making 200 billion USD?" Zhu Qiushui saw the report and asked curiously.
"It's nothing. Maybe they are being merciful and want to do good deeds to help the African people!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
Needless to say, the following development was really as Boss Jia expected. Bill Gates arrived in Africa at the fastest speed and visited a girl who sent him a letter. He even brought the girl's good friend with him, only to find that the girl had unfortunately passed away because of schistosomiasis.
Bill Gates wept bitterly in front of all the reporters and media on the spot, and then announced a shocking decision. "He has decided to donate all his wealth to establish an African charity fund to care for the growth of children in Africa, to ensure their medical and health safety, so that every child in Africa will no longer suffer because of poverty."
Bill Gates is a man of his word. He returned to the US on the same day and applied for a charity fund. At the same time, he donated 30% of his Microsoft shares to the charity fund. He did not keep a single cent.
Even the share transfer contract was exposed by the media. Bill Gates donated 200 billion USD of his Microsoft shares to the Charity Fund!
These were all written in black and white in the contract. Once Bill Gates signed the contract, the 200 billion USD worth of shares would have nothing to do with Bill Gates.
But Bill Gates signed his name without hesitation.
At this moment, the whole world is in an uproar. Everyone in the world is impressed by Bill Gates's noble character. In the eyes of many Hua Xia people and Hua Xia media, Bill Gates has become a saint.
After that, the Chinese media continued to dig up information. Not only Bill Gates, but most of the tycoons in the US had donated their companies and wealth. They did not leave a single cent for their children and donated all of their wealth to various charities. The entire country is like a saint.
So, the United States' image became glorious again. Some malicious media started to accuse a certain tycoon of Hua Xia for not being charitable enough.
Of course, some people quickly pointed out that Boss Jia's charity was enough. After all, during the flood, he jumped into the flood and risked his life to help the victims. Boss Jia could not be blamed for this.
But some media retorted, "If that's the case, why didn't Boss Jia donate all his assets?"
For a while, the whole circle of public opinion was in a foul mood.
— — —
"Are these United States people really so great?" Zhu Qiushui asked curiously to Boss Jia again.
"How is that possible? Even if Bill Gates is really a saint and is willing to donate all his assets. But are all the tycoons in the United States saints? "Boss Jia sneered.
"But he donated all of his assets!" Zhu Qiushui said.
"Let me ask you. Who do you think will control Bill Gates's charity foundation? Who holds his shares?" Boss Jia asked.
"Of course it's Bill Gates's. But a charity foundation is a non-profit organization. Does he still have shares?" Zhu Qiushui said.
"Yes, this is the key to the problem. The United States' charity foundation is completely different from Hua Xia's charity foundation. Hua Xia's charity foundation only spends money and doesn't make money. It's an organization endorsed by the government."
"However, a charity foundation in the United States is a complete commercial organization. This foundation is no different from a legitimate company. The foundation is controlled by shares, so everyone who owns the shares can completely control the entire foundation. At the same time, they can mobilize all the funds of the foundation. They can also pay the salaries of the foundation's staff."
"In addition, although the foundation can't directly engage in market trading, it can participate in various commercial activities and even engage in various financial operations. It can even issue its own bonds and other financial products!"
"Because this is to earn more charity funds!"
"In addition, because it's not a listed company, the foundation doesn't need to publish its internal financial reports. You don't even know how much they pay the employees!"
"Finally, and most importantly, because the foundation is a charity organization, it enjoys the lowest tax rate. It even enjoys tax-free treatment in many industries! For example, in the estate tax, it's completely tax-free! "Boss Jia smiled." This is actually the most attractive part of the charity foundation for tycoons! "
