If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard.

Why not drink the coffee you earned with your own ability? The man who received him, Matthew Wheeler, boasted while helping Han Chudong pour coffee: "We have helped many people in Chinatown. I have helped four times. In order to comply with your customs, I remember that before the Spring Festival two years ago, a colleague prepared 200 gifts and sent them to the lonely elderly!"

"That's why my boss chose you as one of the donation targets."

Han Chudong took the coffee cup, thanked him and continued, "Recently, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has set up a project to restore our Chinese cultural tradition of helping each other. This time, we plan to mobilize tens of thousands of Chinatown residents. Those who can afford it will donate more, and those who can't afford it will donate less. We will also give the donors a small gift as a thank you."

"Really? If there is a powerful organization like yours to mobilize, it will definitely be a huge help to charity. What do you plan to do specifically? If it's a fundraising event, I think we have more experience and can provide some manpower to help."

Mr. Wheeler was clearly in a great mood when he met the donor at his door early in the morning.

For a large charity organization like theirs that is spread across the United States, no amount of money is enough. There are so many people in need of help, and even a little more donation is a good thing.

Han Chudong showed an awkward expression, hesitant to speak, and said: "Don't worry about manpower. We have enough volunteers here, and those two children's charities are willing to help. The only thing that worries me is that we won't be able to raise much money, and you gentlemen will laugh at us. After all, that place is not Wall Street or Beverly Hills, and most people's lives are difficult."

Mr. Wheeler took the bait.

He sat up straight, looked at Han Chudong, and said righteously: "We don't care about the amount of donations. The love behind it is the most precious thing in the world. No matter how much money is donated, every person who donates love is equally great in our eyes."

"But wouldn't it be better to get more donations? With this money in your hands, you can help more people."

After saying this, Han Chudong paused for a moment, organizing his words in his mind, and then spoke: "So, after my superiors discussed it, they came up with a better way to attract donors. They unanimously decided to purchase some small gifts as prizes, write numbers on each person's donation certificate, and then randomly select a few charity representatives to reward them.

In this way, more charity funds will definitely be raised. After deducting the expenses of organizing the event, all the surplus will be donated to you to help those in greater need. What do you think of this, Mr. Wheeler?"

Staring at the word "charity", Mr. Wheeler was confused and never came to his senses.

He just nodded. "That sounds great. Simply asking for things will discourage people. It would be great if we could add some fun, like a charity auction. The purpose is always good."

"And we will tell the donors what organization they donated their money to and put it on a poster for exhibition. Is that okay?"

"Of course, that's a good thing."

"That's all right. I'll send the charity money to you in a few days, Mr. Wheeler."

After hearing what he wanted to hear, Han Chudong immediately stood up and said goodbye, saying that he had to go back to plan a charity donation event.

Actually.

He continued to go to the Children's International School and the American Children's Charity Foundation under the banner of the Chinese General Association. He was warmly received, just like when he told Wheeler the news.

It was already past ten o'clock when I finished the work. I didn't ask the three charities to contribute manpower or manpower, and they didn't pay any money. There was no reason to push away the donations that came to my door.

Transformed suddenly.

Han Chudong, who was just an employee of the "Chinese General Association", came to the Los Angeles Chinese General Association as a clerk of a charity organization, saying that he wanted to use the square in Chinatown to hold a charity fundraising event.

The employee of the organization that received him agreed without hesitation, and said that such matters were not their responsibility. He promised to provide two people to help, mainly to notify the surrounding businesses so as not to delay the charity work.

Walking out of the gate, everything went so smoothly that even Han Chudong himself found it unbelievable. He just went around notifying everyone and actually accomplished the most difficult step.

Let's talk about it in detail.

These four organizations will not suffer any losses. Three of them will receive donations and one will gain a good reputation. They are all benefiting, so why would they look for trouble and hinder others?

It was a little after eleven o'clock. Han Chudong was so hot that he took off his coat. He found a random store to buy a sandwich, ate it hastily, and went straight to the car dealership.

The first store I came across was Honda.

As he didn't have money to take a taxi and drive further, he just walked into the store. The car looked ordinary in appearance. After looking at the price, Han Chudong decisively called the salesman and asked him to take him to see the owner or sales manager.

The young female salesperson was a little confused and asked, "If you are not satisfied with the price, just tell me directly. I just sold a Civic at the lowest price. Although it is a new car and not very well-known, its fuel performance is quite good. Recently, oil prices have been rising, and it has become one of the most popular models this year. It is definitely a great choice!"

"I'm sorry, I'm not buying this to drive myself. Its performance has nothing to do with me. You just said the lowest price, right? How much cheaper can it be based on this price?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"If you buy it today, you can save $50, and you will also get a pillow, a car dust cover, a brush, and three free maintenance services."

Han Chudong has no money to buy a car.

He bought the car as a gimmick for a "charity event," and if fifty dollars were deducted, the total price would be twenty-two hundred and thirty dollars.

Although it seems to be only more than 2,000 US dollars, if calculated according to the era when he returned in later generations, it would probably be equivalent to more than 10,000 US dollars.

He originally wanted to buy a rocket-tail Cadillac for four or five thousand dollars, but after doing the math he felt it was a huge loss. He would spend too much and would have less money in his pocket.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he pointed to the car series next to him and asked again: "Then how much cheaper can it be if I buy two at a time?"

The saleswoman was straightforward and responded directly: "The total discount is $170. This is the lowest price. You can't get it as low as ours at other stores."

I'm not the type of person who would haggle over a few or tens of dollars. It's not that I don't care about the money, but I just can't bring myself to bargain.

His mental arithmetic was good enough and he could count on the abacus making jingling sounds.

After Han Chudong felt that the price was acceptable, he smiled and said to the saleswoman, "I still have to talk to your boss. This time it has nothing to do with the price. I am just buying cars on behalf of three charities. I will definitely buy the cars, but the funds will need to wait a few days. Of course, I will not drive these cars away. I will put them on the stand as prizes first..."

Sorry, I was late because I was in a hurry for several hours today.
