Chapter 479 Tang Xi (5K)
Zeng Wenjie had just been quiet for a while, but he was in the spotlight again for setting up a foundation and donating 22 million yuan to education!
He is now a rich man. The revenue brought by "Hero Killer" and the monthly share of the Penguin Game Hall can be said to be cash cows.
He contributed 20 million yuan for this donation, while Mu Qingyang insisted on taking out 2 million yuan.
He once again became a hot topic in the news and held a press conference at Fengzhou Business Alliance. Mu Qingyang attended the conference as the chairman and talked to reporters about the significance and purpose of establishing the Zeng Wenjie Foundation, as well as ways to help education.
The donations are mainly used to donate teaching buildings, libraries, etc., and small items include school bags, stationery, books, etc., and it is promised that the whereabouts of every penny will be transparently announced to the public.
Mu Qingyang was wearing a small suit today, which made Zeng Wenjie a little dazed. Did she really look like a domineering female CEO?
She was a little nervous at first, but after speaking a few words, she realized that it was nothing special and her speech became fluent. After all, she had strong genes.
"Ms. Mu Qingyang, why doesn't the Zeng Wenjie Foundation raise funds from the public? Instead, Mr. Zeng Wenjie and you make donations?" the reporter asked.
"Because we want to do this job in a down-to-earth manner and don't want complicated relationships to get involved within the foundation." Mu Qingyang replied softly.
Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "This is actually the result of a discussion between Xiao Mu and me. We both want to make a small contribution to the province's underdeveloped education, but we also don't want our hard-earned money to be wasted. So, we decided to donate in this way."
Immediately, a reporter posed a pointed question: "If that's the case, why set up a foundation? Donations made directly in your own name are perfectly acceptable. Doesn't this seem like a publicity stunt?"
Mu Qingyang couldn't help but be stunned and frowned slightly.
Zeng Wenjie remained calm, smiling at the reporter and saying, "I just want to set an example for those who use charity as a cover to enrich themselves."
These words may seem a bit arrogant, but considering that Zeng Wenjie is so young, it is understandable.
"The foundation will not solicit donations from the public in the early stages. All donations will be provided by Xiao Mu and I. However, personal strength is limited after all. Helping poor and underdeveloped areas to develop education and provide more children from poor families with a good learning environment requires everyone's joint efforts."
Zeng Wenjie continued to speak in an orderly manner, already having the style of a big boss.
"This is my own money, and I'm in charge of my own decisions. No one can say anything about it, so I should take this opportunity to set the right tone in the early stages. When we actually raise funds from the public later, we can continue to develop according to this step and form a good and virtuous closed loop."
"It's not easy for anyone to make money. I don't want my money to be spent in an unclear way, and the same goes for kind donors."
"This is the purpose of Xiao Mu and I co-founding this foundation."
There was warm applause at the scene. The world has suffered from a certain cross for a long time. Of course, it was just a certain cross specifically referring to China.
Zeng Wenjie's remarks had a rather slapping feeling, and were simply torturing those charities that were doing dirty things.
The reporters felt that young people were just hot-tempered and dared to say anything.
This is also because Zeng Wenjie has close cooperation with the authorities, is supported and protected, and is also doing charity work, so he dares to act so unscrupulously.
"Although the first donation to the foundation was paid out of Xiao Mu and I's own pockets, we still hope that our journalist friends will strictly supervise us, and we also welcome people from all walks of life to supervise us. The foundation will regularly announce the whereabouts of the money, and put it into practice and details so that everyone can verify and find out at any time." Zeng Wenjie said seriously.
Mu Qingyang also nodded and said with a smile: "I hope everyone will supervise us more, so that our charity and education in Chongshan Province can get better and better!"
Her youthful and beautiful appearance is already very eye-catching and makes people feel good about her. When she speaks in such a gentle and soft voice, she is even more attractive.
Zeng Wenjie must have selfish motives after all, after all, this is 20 million.
One is to establish a foundation and let Mu Qingyang be the chairman, which can improve her social status;
Second, it throws a significant enough stepping stone to the top ten in the country;
The third one is to sincerely help the hometown;
The last point, as he said, is to cultivate people's awareness of supervision and ownership, and to severely rectify the dirty and chaotic charity industry.
Zeng Wenjie used to think that after making enough money, he would lie down and have fun with the young models in the club, but as his status and vision improved, this idea naturally changed.
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.
This statement of the ancients is indeed very reasonable.
After the meeting, the reporters surrounded Mu Qingyang again and asked her a lot of personal questions out of curiosity, which made her confused.
"Do you have any special nicknames for each other?" asked a reporter.
"He calls me Xiao Mu, and sometimes he's naughty and calls me Head & Shoulders. I basically call him by his full name, and occasionally call him Grandma..." Mu Qingyang said.
Zeng Wenjie immediately went over and covered her mouth. How could she say such a shameful nickname?
If the reporters exposed this, would he still be able to live as a human being?!
Mu Qingyang also realized that he almost let the cat out of the bag, and his face turned pale with fright.
Zeng Wenjie said, "Please stop asking these questions and pay more attention to our newly established foundation! We will soon announce the local schools we will be supporting."
As they were speaking, applause broke out from not far away.
Everyone turned around and saw a tall, beautiful lady with a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, which really added the finishing touch.
"Mr. Zeng is really great. He knew how to give back to his hometown and society not long after he made money. I admire him very much." Tang Xi said with a smile.
"It's Ms. Tang Xi. How come she is in Fengzhou?" Some reporters recognized her at a glance and couldn't help but feel surprised.
As a result, Tang Xi attracted the attention of reporters, and several of them surrounded her and asked her some questions about her views on the Zeng Wenjie Foundation.
After sending the reporters away, Zeng Wenjie politely led Tang Xi to his office to sit down, and Mu Qingyang followed.
This future female president, who has not yet become a big shot, still has a slightly weaker aura in front of the real female president.
However, Zeng Wenjie doesn't seem to be interested in letting her take the lead and will only let her run the foundation in the future.
Zeng Wenjie asked, "Tea or coffee?"
Tang Xi said: "Longjing, thank you."
Zeng Wenjie immediately went to get the tea and handed it to Mu Qingyang.
Mu Qingyang knows a little about Kung Fu tea. Although he can't be called a master, he can definitely drink much more than a rough man like him.
"Please have some tea." Mu Qingyang poured Tang Xi half a cup of tea and said with a smile.
"Thanks for sharing." Tang Xi raised his teacup and took a sip without commenting.
Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Mr. Tang, you didn't even tell me before you came. I wasn't prepared at all."
Tang Xi said: "I just happened to be free, and I heard that you were going to hold a press conference about the foundation, so I wanted to come and listen to what you had to say. Hehe..."
She smiled, nodded, and said, "I'm not disappointed. This young man is very capable and courageous!"
Zeng Wenjie said, "You are too kind."
Tang Xi put down his teacup and said, "Your girlfriend is also very beautiful and sensible. You are already a winner in life."
Mu Qingyang sat aside and smiled a little embarrassedly, then refilled her tea.
"Please help me do what I told you last time today." Tang Xi said, and then took out a document from her bag.
Zeng Wenjie took it and unfolded it. On it were the lists of companies invested by Tang Xi. Some of them even had the expected time of cashing out marked. It could be said to be a very confidential business document!
Zeng Wenjie asked Mu Qingyang to go to the desk and get him a pen, and then he began to observe carefully.
There are many well-known large enterprises here, as well as some small and medium-sized enterprises that are only beginning to emerge in the future.
but……
There are also some serious future financial crashes.
Zeng Wenjie saw a real estate company that was enough to make his scalp tingle - Huantai Group.
Moreover, the scale of this investment is relatively large, and it participates in the investment of many projects under the group.
Zeng Wenjie circled it without even thinking about it.
Seeing him circle Huantai Group, Tang Xi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise. She really didn't expect Zeng Wenjie to circle this investment! She even felt that this was the most stable investment.
Zeng Wenjie's fingers trembled, and after pondering for a moment, he did not add any comments.
In fact, the best way is to withdraw a few years before the group collapses, which will make a lot of money.
Investments of this scale will definitely be deeply tied up in the future. If the day comes when the financial crisis breaks out, there will definitely be a major impact and heavy losses.
That debt is terrible, the kind that can only be paid off if you sell your penguins.
After carefully checking off several companies that were destined to go bankrupt that he remembered most clearly, Zeng Wenjie returned the document to Tang Xi.
"Okay, for those that have been checked, try to reduce your holdings or cash out directly," said Zeng Wenjie.
But there are some things he did not mark out. The principle that the moon waxes and wanes, and water overflows when it is full, still needs to be observed.
Otherwise, once he is exposed in the future, everyone will think he is an alien.
Tang Xi couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Huan Tai worth investing in? This group is a company that everyone is very optimistic about, and the return on investment is quite good."
Zeng Wenjie gave her a deep look and said, "If you really want to invest, don't invest too much, otherwise you'll be too deeply tied up. It's still okay to cash out within ten years."
Tang Xi smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."
Tang Xi's strength is also unfathomable. Zeng Wenjie feels that he is relatively rich now, but after looking at other people's investment list, he knows what it means to be like an ant seeing the blue sky.
"If I have additional investments later, I will still need your help to review it." Tang Xi put the documents away and said while nodding.
"Okay." Zeng Wenjie raised his teacup and took a sip.
Tang Xi said, "At first I thought you were exaggerating, but now it seems that you are truly an outstanding young man, unique."
Zeng Wenjie quickly put down his teacup, bowed, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your compliment. I'm working hard in this direction. I hope you can give me some advice in the future."
Tang Xi stared at him for a while, then sighed slowly and meaningfully, but no one knew what he was sighing about.
Zeng Wenjie felt a little confused by her sigh. He frowned slightly and thought for a long time, but he couldn't guess what she was thinking.
"Ms. Tang, if you are not busy today, why don't I treat you to a meal? It's a rare opportunity for you to come to a poor place like Chongshan, so why not try the local specialties?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
"Hmm? Sure!" Tang Xi thought about it, nodded slightly and agreed.
Zeng Wenjie immediately called Yan Peng and asked him to prepare good wine and food and to receive Tang Xi with the highest standards.
Besides, isn’t Yan Peng going to raise funds in the future?
If I could get a better relationship with Tang Xi, maybe I could get her to lead the investment!
Yan Peng listened to Zeng Wenjie's instructions and couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He felt that the president was really awesome and was recommending Brother Miao as if he were his own industry!
Zeng Wenjie felt that Tang Xi seemed to be a rather silent person who didn't talk much, and it was difficult for him to find topics to talk about.
Fortunately, Mu Qingyang was here, so the two of them didn't have to sit there and stare at each other, which eased a lot of the awkwardness.
"Xiao Mu, you are so beautiful. You are probably the most beautiful person I have ever seen, right?" Tang Xi looked at Mu Qingyang and said with a smile.
"Sister, you are also very beautiful and have a good temperament, much better than me." Mu Qingyang said.
Tang Xi said, "You are still young. In a few years, your temperament will naturally develop. However, you need to practice your tea art."
Mu Qingyang said, "My mother taught me this, but I didn't study it seriously, so I only know the basics. However, I'm very good at judo!"
Tang Xi smiled and said, "It would be good if you know martial arts, so that you won't be bullied by Mr. Zeng."
Mu Qingyang said: "He never bullies me and always takes care of me."
As the topic opened up, the atmosphere became less awkward, but Zeng Wenjie had no say in the conversation.
After they had finished chatting for a while, Zeng Wenjie asked, "Can I ask a rather presumptuous question?"
Tang Xi said: "You ask."
Zeng Wenjie asked, "Why did Mr. Tang come up with the idea of helping rebuild Xishu Province? And, what's more, the technology used was all from Japan?"
Tang Xi was stunned after hearing this. She didn't expect Zeng Wenjie to ask this question.
She thought for a moment and said, "It's said that he met his first love while working in the countryside in Western Sichuan Province. The girl was a teacher, but she eventually died from some disease. My father never forgot her, so after he became successful, he started to help with construction in Western Sichuan Province, and the largest part of his aid was for school buildings."
When Mu Qingyang heard this, he knew Tang Xi's background and origins.
"Is there any problem?" Tang Xi looked at Zeng Wenjie and asked.
Zeng Wenjie looked calm, shook his head, and said, "No problem. Give my regards to your father."
Tang Xi looked at him deeply, and then the corners of her mouth twitched. The age gap was too big, otherwise, she would really suspect something that was not there.
"I'm bored when I'm idle, Xiao Mu, please take me to visit the Fengzhou Business Alliance." Tang Xi said.
"Ah? It's my first time here too." Mu Qingyang responded a little embarrassedly.
Tang Xi laughed dumbly after hearing this and said to Zeng Wenjie, "You're an incompetent boyfriend. You didn't even take your girlfriend on a proper tour?"
Zeng Wenjie stood up and said, "Then I'll just take you two on a tour today!"
The headquarters of Fengzhou Chamber of Commerce is actually not very big, and there are not many office staff, some of whom are seconded from government departments.
When we visited an office, Feng Xiao was organizing documents inside.
When I looked up, my eyes met Tang Xi's.
"Ms. Tang." Feng Xiao nodded and said.
"Long time no see." Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered Feng Xiao.
Feng Xiao smiled and said, "I didn't expect to see you again. I thought I would never have the chance again in this lifetime."
Tang Xi said, "Fate is always wonderful."
Both women are standing on the shoulders of their fathers, but one woman's father has fallen, while the other is still standing.
Feng Xiao couldn't help but glance at Zeng Wenjie, and then turned her gaze back to Tang Xi. She thought that it was inevitable that Zeng Wenjie and Tang Xi had contact.
Because in this ordinary world, there are only two special people.
Feng Xiao shook hands with Tang Xi, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then went back to work.
Tang Xi had no intention of reminiscing with her and continued to visit the next department.
"I didn't expect that Ms. Tang and our Mr. Feng are old acquaintances!" Zeng Wenjie said.
"Well, we met many years ago, so I don't remember it very clearly. She was so sharp and arrogant like a queen back then, and no one could catch her eye." Tang Xi smiled, as if she still had a deep impression of Feng Xiao.
Now, Feng Xiao has nothing to do with the word queen.
There is no need to say much about her appearance and figure, but her temperament is not cold and arrogant. Instead, she exudes an open-mindedness and calmness that comes from a person who has a deep understanding of the world.
After visiting the Chamber of Commerce, it was almost time for dinner.
Zeng Wenjie invited Tang Xi to get in the car and couldn't help asking, "Ms. Tang, did you come here alone? Without bodyguards or anything?"
Tang Xi said, "My schedule is relatively secretive, and I'm not a high-profile person. Unless it's necessary, I generally don't bring any bodyguards."
Zeng Wenjie thought so too. Anyway, he seldom saw Tang Xi in any news or reports. Only those resourceful reporters could recognize her at a glance.
Mu Qingyang sat in the passenger seat and said happily, "Xiao Zeng, Go! Go! Go!"
Then she suddenly felt embarrassed, coughed, restrained her appearance, and adjusted her sitting posture to that of a lady.
Tang Xi couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's okay. We're young, so it's good to be lively."
Zeng Wenjie also smiled at Mu Qingyang, indicating that she was fine, and said, "Let's go to Brother Miao's beef hot pot. I hope it suits your taste."
Tang Xi said, "You don't have to use honorifics all the time. Just call me by my name, or just call me sister."
Zeng Wenjie said, "Okay, Sister Tang!"
