At night, Chen Xing was brought out for dinner by his brother-in-law, Zhang Ming. Zhang Ming drove over to pick up Chen Xing, then turned to the address of Zhang Ningning's rented office building. Zhang Ningning had gone to the Southwest Mountains for a walk. It had been almost a week since he returned. Now that the foundation had been set up, Zhang Ningning was busy starting his own company. This was because the foundation could not make ends meet and needed a source of funds. This was also the reason why Zhang Ningning wanted to start his own company.
Of course, Zhang Ming and Zhang Yi, his two cousins, helped him. Both of them were people who made a fortune in silence. They usually kept a low profile. People who were not in their circle would not know how much wealth they had. Zhang Ningning wanted to start a company. It was a walk in the park for both of them. Providing some suggestions to Zhang Ningning was as easy as opening their mouths. Zhang Ming even hired a headhunting company to find a few elite talents for Zhang Ningning.
Chen Xing, you're good. You've got guts. Zhang Ming and Chen Xing sat in the back seat. He smiled and patted Chen Xing's shoulder. He brought his chauffeur out today, so he did not have to drive himself.
Brother, don't make things difficult for me. I'm risking having my rank removed. In the morning, I was even called to the office by Department Head Li to scold me. Luckily, Department Head Li did not say anything harsh. He still supports me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my official hat anymore. Chen Xing smiled bitterly.
Let's see who dares. Zhang Ming glared at him. When he was angry, he looked dignified. This was very similar to Zhang Guozhong. Zhang Ming said, "If anyone dares to remove your official hat, they have to ask if the Zhang family is willing. If anyone really has the ability, then come and try it out with the Zhang family. Let's see who has the toughest bones."
Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. Zhang Ming's behavior was undoubtedly the typical behavior of a member of the Zhang family. That kind of confidence that came from deep within his bones was not something that could be obtained overnight. Instead, it was the long history of the Zhang family that had created this kind of arrogance. This kind of confidence was not only possessed by Zhang Ming, but also by other members of the Zhang family.
When the car arrived at the office building rented by Zhang Ningning, Chen Xing called Zhang Ningning, and then Zhang Ningning got off the car lightly. Zhang Ming happily moved to the passenger seat and offered his seat to his baby sister.
Chen Xing, you didn't tell me about this last night. You even hid it from me. As soon as Zhang Ningning came up, she gave Chen Xing a charming look. What she said was also related to today's newspaper. When she was lying in bed last night, Chen Xing was still talking to her about tomorrow's charity party, but he didn't mention this to her.
I wanted to give you a surprise. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Zhang Ningning was surprised, but I think many people think that you are a scourge. Zhang Ming interrupted with a smile. "What you did was to touch the cheese of those with vested interests."
Zhang Ming's words were similar to Li Huaiyuan's. After all, as a member of a big family, Zhang Ming could naturally see through it. "What Chen Xing did is very popular with the public, but the official charity organizations hate Chen Xing's guts, which is equivalent to destroying their rice bowls."
"I think it's good that Chen Xing did this." Zhang Ningning cheered her husband on with a sweet smile. If this model was successful, it would be a wake-up call to the other official charity organizations. The common people were not so easy to fool. If they couldn't even do the most basic open and transparent accounting, who would take out money to donate? If the donated money really helped those poor families, it would be fine. However, if the leaders of the charity organizations ate the money, it would be disappointing. Previously, Guo Chouchou's flaunting of his wealth had caused the common people to have a crisis of trust in the charity organizations. These official charity organizations still pretended that they were the best in the world. Whether people donated money or not, they didn't lack money. Did they really think that the common people were so easy to fool? If people didn't donate money to them, let's see how arrogant they could be.
"Whether it will succeed or not, we'll know at tomorrow night's charity party. Now, there are probably a lot of people waiting to see me make a fool of myself. Tomorrow night's charity party will be a live fundraiser. If I fail, then those people who want to see me make a fool of myself will be proud."
Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. He wasn't sure about tomorrow night's charity party, but he wasn't too worried. Chen Xing was preparing to face death calmly. Anyway, even if the donation tomorrow night was very small, Chen Xing would still follow this model to carry on the scholarship program. It was just being laughed at by others. It wasn't like he would break a bone or lose a piece of flesh. If others wanted to laugh at him, then let them laugh. Chen Xing didn't care about this. When he told Lin Yupei about this, he said that he hoped to raise tens of millions of dollars to cover up his embarrassment. However, if he really didn't have it, then Chen Xing wouldn't be disheartened by others' mockery.
"If tomorrow night's charity party is a great success, it means that this model of yours has been recognized by those who are enthusiastic about charity. Only when they approve of it will they really donate money. Not to mention, tomorrow night will be a test for you." Zhang Ming smiled. "However, media planning and media publicity are also very important. In this day and age, the key is to win in 'marketing'. However, Chen Xing, why do I feel that your publicity is not strong enough?
The publicity we have done now is already the best our department can do. After all, this is not a charity party organized by the central government. It's impossible for the central television station and the major mainstream newspapers to help us with publicity. Besides, Brother Zhang, you also know that the other national official charity organizations don't want to see us doing well. They will definitely set up some obstacles and obstacles. Therefore, you see, some mainstream newspapers didn't report on this matter. " Chen Xing shook his head and said.
"As for the publicity, I'll help you think of a way." Zhang Ming frowned. "As long as you organize it well and there is enough time, I'll see if you can negotiate with the central television station to do a live broadcast. That way, the influence will increase immediately. However, the most important thing is whether you have the confidence. When the central television station does a live broadcast and there are only a few people on the stage to donate, you'll really make a fool of yourself in front of the whole country."
"Second Brother, are you serious? You want the central television station to do a live broadcast?" Chen Xing was dumbfounded. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of hiring a TV station for a live broadcast. Firstly, he was worried that the situation mentioned by Zhang Ming would happen. Secondly, if he hired a TV station for a live broadcast, it would create a lot of trouble. Not only must there be no mistakes in the organizing process, there must also be a variety of programs. For example, some touching stories, inviting some poor families, and some entertainment programs that could make people relax, such as dancing or singing. You can't just ask people to donate one by one from the start to the end. How could a live broadcast like that be possible? But even if Chen Xing had thought about it, he didn't dare to ask CCTV for help. With CCTV's reputation, Chen Xing admitted that he wouldn't be able to do it.
"Tsk, look at your confidence. I think you're also not confident enough." Zhang Ming curled his lips disapprovingly. "So what if it's the central television station? Don't think too highly of it. In fact, it's just a small matter."
Chen Xing smiled bitterly. Only Zhang Ming could say such words casually. With the Zhang Family's background, it wasn't difficult for them to use the resources of the central television station.
"It's not that easy to do a live broadcast on television. The main thing is that Chen Xing hid it from us before. Otherwise, we would have helped you and made preparations earlier. Maybe doing a live broadcast on television is a good idea. The problem now is that the gala will be held tomorrow night. If you decide to do a live broadcast on television at the last minute, there's no time to prepare at all. Moreover, Chen Xing, you don't know how many people will donate. This is the crux of the problem. Otherwise, it won't be difficult to invite the people from the central television station." Zhang Ningning also frowned. Her heart was on her husband's side. Naturally, she hoped that Chen Xing could do a good job in this project.
"Sigh, it seems that I've shot myself in the foot." Chen Xing smiled helplessly. He was too smart for his own good. This time, he acted first and reported later. He was quite proud of himself. In fact, there were disadvantages.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xing said to Zhang Ming, "Brother Zhang, let's not think about the live broadcast for now. If you really have a way, then ask the people from the central television station to help me mention this project and tomorrow night's charity gala on the primetime news. Then I'll be satisfied. Oh yes, if the mouthpieces of the party like Xinhua News Agency and People's Daily can also report about this, I can even smile in my dreams."
"You're really daring. You're even thinking about Xinhua News Agency and People's Daily. Those who don't know might think that the central television station wants to do charity with the whole country's strength." Zhang Ming rolled his eyes.
"Then I'll ask for a lower requirement. I just want the mainstream newspapers to help me report about this." Chen Xing said with a smile. "This brother-in-law is really good."
"Alright. I'll try my best to help you with the publicity." Zhang Ming waved his hand and smiled. "As for tomorrow night's charity gala, I'll go and support you no matter what. Money is a bastard. You can't live without it. If you have too much of it, it'll just be waste paper. I'll also donate blood to your project tomorrow night."
"That's great. Thank you, Second Brother." Chen Xing sighed and agreed. He didn't stand on ceremony. He knew that his brother-in-law was a rich man and didn't lack money.
Zhang Ningning smiled and said, "Second Brother, luckily you said it yourself. If not, I would also ask you to donate some money. Oh yes, I'll also ask my brother to come along. Both of you are rich men. Tomorrow night, both of you should go and contribute to the charity gala. Why do you need so much money? You should do more good deeds for yourself."
