The night passed by quickly. Accompanied by a series of high-profile charity auctions and fundraising activities, the launching ceremony of the student aid project and the charity fundraising evening party gradually came to an end. Minister Jiang Jinshi and Deputy Minister Li Huaiyuan had already stood up and left through another passageway. Chen Xing escorted the two leaders all the way outside. Not only was Chen Xing there, Director-General Wang Rongyan, who had been accompanying them all this while. Wang Rongyan was even more enthusiastic in serving the first and second leaders of the ministry than Chen Xing. Since he wanted to compete for the position of Deputy Minister, apart from his own background, Minister Jiang Jinshi's opinion could not be ignored.
At this moment, Chen Xing's face was flushed and he was in an unusually good mood. Tonight's gala could be said to have achieved an unprecedented success. Although the rehearsal made people feel that the preparation for the gala was a little rushed and inadequate, it did not affect the success of the gala. The theme of the evening was to collect donations, and the interspersed programs were all arranged at the last minute. The whole gala had not been fully rehearsed in advance. Firstly, time was tight. Chen Xing had instructed the office to prepare this gala, and it had taken them less than 10 days to prepare it. Obviously, it was a little difficult to make an exquisite gala in such a short time. Therefore, Chen Xing did not give any rigid targets to the office.
Furthermore, the two Central TV hosts did not have the time to do another rehearsal, and Chen Xing had also decided not to do a live broadcast on television in the end. As such, the preparations for the gala were just a little rough. Everyone was here to raise funds, not to watch the performances. A few minor flaws in the linking up of the programs were not enough to ruin the entire gala.
In any case, the small problems in the connection of the programs were not enough to cover the success of the party. Whether it was the on-site charity fundraising and auction, or the telephone hotline donations directly connected to the venue of the party, they were all unbelievable. At least, Chen Xing was still immersed in great joy.
Compared with the pure donations tonight, the charity auction could only be regarded as a small episode tonight. Most of the items were personal belongings donated by some celebrities, and a few were collections of calligraphy and paintings donated by some celebrities. These items were auctioned off for hundreds of thousands or even millions. For example, Zhang Yang's guitar, which was actually worth only a little more than 1,000 yuan, was finally bought by Chen Zhongwei for two million yuan because of her personal fame and the fact that she had been collecting it for more than ten years. It was the first small success of the night.
The bidding frenzy started by Chen Zhongwei also happened several times later. Nearly 20 items were auctioned off, and the final amount of money raised from the auction reached more than 20 million yuan, approaching the figure of 25 million yuan. The guitar donated by Zhang Yang was also the most valuable item among the personal belongings donated by the celebrities. Most of the personal belongings of the celebrities were auctioned off by their fans, which was also one of the highlights of the night.
It was also fully proved that Chen Xing's decision to open the charity party to the public without any barriers was correct. Most of the people who were bidding for the personal belongings of the celebrities came from the people standing at the back. Obviously, they were not qualified to receive the invitation tonight. The celebrities and celebrities who were arranged to sit in the front row basically bought the personal belongings of their favorite stars for hundreds of thousands of yuan, which could support their favorite stars and do charity at the same time. It was the best of both worlds. The really valuable calligraphy and paintings were all bought at the price of several million yuan, which was why the total amount of money was close to 25 million yuan.
The amount of money donated by some enterprises and celebrities was the real key factor that pushed the charity party to a high level. When Xue Dabao, representing the Stardragon Furniture Group, which was controlled by the Xue Family, made a donation of 20 million yuan, the atmosphere of the party reached its climax. The amount of money donated by the Xue Family also set a record for the highest amount of money donated by an individual (enterprise) tonight, which made Xue Dabao the focus of attention for a while.
The total amount of money raised at the party had reached more than 130 million yuan, which no one had expected in advance. This did not include the donations made through the telephone hotline, which had not yet been counted. Although the number of telephone donations was large, they were all voluntary donations from the public. They were all in the hundreds or thousands of yuan, and the most was 100,000 yuan. Although the number was not small, the total amount should not be very large. Regardless of the amount, the party had indeed achieved an unexpected success.
"Comrade Chen Xing, not bad." When Jiang Jinshi approached the car, he suddenly stopped and praised Chen Xing. No one knew whether he was praising the charity party tonight or the innovative charity model. The sudden praise also stunned Chen Xing. This was also the first time that Chen Xing had heard Jiang Jinshi's approval.
"Chen Xing, the minister is encouraging you. If you don't do a good job in this project, you will fail the minister's expectations of you." Li Huaiyuan said with a smile. He and Jiang Jinshi addressed Chen Xing differently. Their close relationship with Chen Xing was also obvious. Li Huaiyuan did not hide his closeness to Chen Xing in front of Jiang Jinshi. There was no need and no need to do that. As the minister, Jiang Jinshi knew some things very well. It was not worthwhile for Li Huaiyuan to deliberately hide anything in front of Jiang Jinshi. They had worked together for many years. Although one was the minister and the other was the deputy, their relationship was not as open as the outside world imagined. On the contrary, it was like a friendship between gentlemen.
Chen Xing knew that Li Huaiyuan was cheering him up in front of Jiang Jinshi. He felt grateful and said in time, "With the care and support of the two leaders, Minister Jiang and Deputy Minister Li, I will be more confident to do a good job in this project.
Well, as long as it is a good thing, you can do it. The ministry will support you. " Jiang Jinshi glanced at Chen Xing and nodded encouragingly. Then he got into the car.
Li Huaiyuan smiled and waved at Chen Xing. He and Jiang Jinshi got into the same car. They probably had something to talk about. Chen Xing and Wang Rongyan watched the leader's car leave. Wang Rongyan turned to look at Chen Xing and said with a smile, "Chen Xing, congratulations. Tonight's charity party was a great success.
This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. " Chen Xing said modestly. He did not take the credit for himself, although there were many people who donated because of him.
It is mainly because of you, the initiator. " Wang Rongyan said with a smile. At this moment, he appeared to be very friendly with Chen Xing. Wang Rongyan had seen Li Huaiyuan's attitude towards Chen Xing just now. Needless to say, he was jealous. He was more vigilant and fearful of Li Huaiyuan. No leader would be happy to have such a subordinate.
After a few words, Wang Rongyan left. Chen Xing stood there for a while, looking at Wang Rongyan's back. No one knew what he was thinking. He had to go back to the hall. The party should be over by now. However, Chen Xing still had to thank the two CCTV hosts who came to help tonight. He also had to express his condolences to the dancers.
After a while, it was already past 10 pm. Chen Xing set a time to treat the hosts and the dancers to a celebratory dinner. It was already too late at night, so he had to arrange another time. The previously lively venue was now much quieter. Zhang Ming and Zhang Yi had already left early. They had each donated 10 million tonight. They did not do it in their own names, but they had asked others to do it. Outsiders would not know that it was them who donated the money.
Among the 100 million donations tonight, there were also people who donated 10 million or 5 million. They were all people who came to support Chen Xing's charity dinner because of the Zhang brothers. To these people, doing good deeds did not require a lot of publicity. After the party ended, they left. It seemed like they were going to drink with Zhang Ming and Zhang Yi. Chen Xing did not even have the chance to express his gratitude. The two brothers-in-law left abnormally fast. Only Xue Dabao and his father, Xue Zhaocai, were still there.
Before walking over to speak to the father and son of the Xue family, Chen Xing stopped in his tracks. He smiled and nodded to Kong Yuxuan, Luo Xiaoyan, and another unfamiliar face. He thanked them for their support for the student aid project.
As Chen Xing spoke, his gaze fell on another unfamiliar face. He recognized Kong Yuxuan. Luo Xiaoyan, the Vice President of Taiming Group, had also left a deep impression on him at the dinner table. Tonight, both of them had donated 500 million. As for the other unfamiliar face, she had donated 5 million. Chen Xing could not help but pay more attention to her.
Director Chen, let me introduce to you. This is Lin Qing, the Vice President of Gray Company in Greater China. You can also call her Jenny.
She has just arrived in China not long ago. When she heard that there was a charity dinner tonight, she forcefully dragged me here. She is very passionate about charity. Kong Yuxuan introduced the woman beside him to Chen Xing.
I can see that Director Lin is generous enough to support our student aid project. I am very grateful for that. Chen Xing was surprised for a moment. He shook hands with the other party and looked at the three of them. Chen Xing smiled and said, "You all know each other?
When we were in the United States, we studied in the same university. We have a good relationship with each other. " Kong Yuxuan nodded with a smile.
"I see. What a coincidence." Chen Xing nodded. He looked at the time and said with a smile, "It is very late tonight. Otherwise, I would definitely invite you out for dinner. If you are free some other day, Miss Kong and the others must do me the honor."
"As long as it is an invitation from you, Director Chen, I am free anytime." Lin Qing looked at Chen Xing with a smile.
