Chapter 1457 Another Charity Fund
Doha was much more decisive than Xiao Peng had imagined. He agreed to Xiao Peng's proposal without waiting for three days: Xiao Peng's words just now touched his heart: In Paris, people look down on you if you don't have money.
He didn't dare take the money Xiao Peng offered him, but if he could earn it on his own, he wouldn't be afraid of any amount of money! He quickly established the company—he didn't have many people under him, but he quickly convinced Pierre. Thus, the scoundrels who specialized in ripping off customers in Pierre's shop became the first employees of Doha Security Company.
Xiao Peng was a man of his word, and he helped them contact the Paris police directly and also introduced him to Hubert.
The Paris police were not impressed by Doha, as they had been humiliated by him: Xiao Peng's car was missing and all the police in Paris were out looking for it, but it was Doha who found it for Xiao Peng. This was very embarrassing for the Paris police.
But when they heard that Xiao Peng would set up a fund to reward those who helped the police catch criminals, they decided to just accept the loss of face. After all, Doha would be someone who could help them in the future.
However, Huber welcomes dealing with someone like Doha: he works in intelligence, France is also troubled by terrorist attacks, and Doha may be able to obtain a lot of intelligence they need - this is called "a rat has a rat's way".
Of course, it was impossible for Yu Beier to contact Doha directly, so he just arranged a subordinate to be responsible for the contact with Doha.
He is the director of DRSD, and there is a big gap between him and Doha.
Of course, Xiao Peng also helped Doha contact the Daxia ambassador and asked him to introduce Doha to the Paris Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Paris Chinese Mutual Aid Association. Doha immediately obtained the security contracts for six communities in Paris, and this was just the beginning. Doha suddenly became a hot new businessman in Paris.
Originally, this incident did not have much impact, but when Xiao Peng held a party on his yacht and invited many celebrities to attend, he also displayed some of his antique jewelry, including jewelry from the French royal treasures and Jewish antique jewelry found on submarines.
Seeing so many jewels before their eyes was truly astonishing! However, Xiao Peng modestly told them that this was only a small portion. Just as everyone was getting envious, Xiao Peng announced that he had a big announcement.
This excited Luxon and the others at the museum. Xiao Peng had just finished displaying so many jewels and now claimed to have a major announcement. Could they have been right? Was Xiao Peng planning to donate these jewels to major museums in France? Hadn't he said it was only a small portion? A little more or less didn't matter to him.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that their guess was correct: this was the first time that Xiao Peng had taken the initiative to invite people from the upper class to his party, and this had never happened even in the Netherlands.
What did this mean? It meant that, as they had previously guessed, Xiao Peng wanted to integrate into French high society!
Humph, it's only a matter of time. So what if you're a billionaire? So what if you're the 'salvage king'? We at Paris Saint-Germain are the best!
Just as Luxon and the others were waiting for good news with great pride, Xiao Peng's "big news" surprised them: Xiao Peng announced the establishment of a fund specifically for rewarding those who help catch criminals targeting the Daxia people. The fund is under Xiao Peng's name, but is jointly managed by Xiao Peng, Swan, Zhang Qikun, Billy, Marlene, Fabian, and Pascal, with Swan and Zhang Qikun responsible for the fund's operations. Everyone's salary is paid based on the fund's operating and investment profits.
When Swan, Billy and Zhang Qikun heard the news, they almost fainted from excitement!
What Shangmei stock? Damn it! For Swan and Zhang Qikun, Xiao Peng gave them money to invest. They were in the business of making money from money. With this fund, they could make a lot of money. They were both confident that the fund would only grow. For Billy, it was fixed wealth—much more than Shangmei stock! This was a great opportunity to gain both fame and fortune!
There was a reason why Xiao Peng chose Swan and Zhang Qikun to be responsible for the fund operations: Zhang Qikun, Swan and Billy are actually half-brothers, and Zhang Qikun and Swan both work in investment banks. They appear to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact they are competing with each other in their hearts. Letting the two of them be responsible for the fund operation and management will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages.
The most important thing is, as long as this foundation exists, these people will be VIPs in all of France's top circles! Even their father, the Duke of Paris, insisted on asking his son for the title of "Honorary Chairman of the Foundation" after learning about this, claiming he was supporting the foundation, but in reality, he was just trying to take advantage of it...
In fact, sometimes it is just as simple as wanting to enter the top circle: you just need to have money and be willing to spend money.
Xiao Peng's establishment of this fund also shocked the crowd: Although France has many wealthy nobles, this is the first fund dedicated to combating crime and maintaining public order. But it was actually established by a Daxia person, and the fund is intended to protect Daxia people. What would the French think if this news got out? Were all the wealthy in France heartless?
So what should they do? Should they also follow Xiao Peng's example and set up a fund? That's the only way!
But damn, Xiao Peng directly put out 1 billion! This money was paid out of his own pocket and had nothing to do with anyone else! So how could they put out less than this? Their generosity was not as good as that of the Daxia people? Wouldn't that make people laugh to death?
This guy named Xiao is such a scumbag!
Even more infuriating is that this charitable fund isn't solely run by Xiao Peng; it also solicits donations from the public. This leaves the wealthy attendees feeling daunted: to donate or not? That's the question!
Even though they cursed Xiao Peng's ancestors in their hearts, they still had to put on a smile and praise Xiao Peng...
It's so fucked up to act from a moral high ground. They are all suffering in their hearts without saying anything.
When the news of Xiao Peng setting up a fund spread, it caused an uproar.
The people of Paris started another large-scale demonstration, and not just one group.
Parisians were protesting Xiao Peng's fund, saying, "Why only protect Daxia people? We need protection, too!" So they started a massive march. Meanwhile, the Black-Argentinian community also began protesting, saying Xiao Peng's fund was clearly targeting them and was a form of racial discrimination—it seems they're well aware of their high crime rate.
Unlike the protesting French, the Daxia people in France also started a parade: but they celebrated with all kinds of gongs and drums, and many people donated enthusiastically to Xiao Peng's fund.
There are still some who are happy and some who are sad!
