Chapter 1410: Charity Dinner
After Jiang Bei walked in, he realized that his seat was at the same table as the Wei family.
Because everyone at this table was the chairman, Jiang Bei and Wei Guoxun sat at the same table.
Li Ai and Li Mengyao could only sit in other seats.
Their position was actually closer to Wei Tianxiang's.
Wei Guoxun watched Jiang Bei walking towards him.
He waved towards Jiang Bei and pointed to the place beside him.
"Mr. Jiang, please sit down!"
Jiang Bei sat down without hesitation and lit a cigarette.
His action of lighting a cigarette instantly aroused dissatisfaction among the others at the table.
Everyone else stared at Jiang Bei with disdain.
These people's identities and status are similar to Wei Guoxun's.
They are all people who can dominate the entire domestic business world.
In addition to having business in China, we also have many partners abroad.
So when Jiangbei proposed the alliance before.
These people did not join.
This also resulted in Wei Guoxun being the only one at the table who knew Jiang Bei.
What charity dinners, what business events.
These are repeat participants.
Moreover, the main purpose of participating in such activities is to increase one's exposure.
Spending 10 million on advertising is not as good as donating 10 million and showing up at a charity dinner.
In addition to being partially tax deductible, donations are also tax deductible.
It will also be on the donation list.
By making people familiar with you, more people will buy your products.
To some extent, charity can also be regarded as a form of competition among the business communities.
"Cough cough!"
A middle-aged fat man sitting next to Jiang Bei waved the cigarette in front of him with his hand and began to cough continuously.
He looked at Jiang Bei with annoyance and said.
"No smoking here, put out your cigarette immediately."
"You are exposing us to secondhand smoke, which is harmful to our health."
"You're going to die by smoking alone, don't drag us along with you!"
Jiang Bei looked around.
"There's no sign prohibiting smoking here!"
"If there is, I naturally won't smoke. If there is not, it means I can smoke."
"If you don't want to smell it, you can change seats."
Jiang Bei pointed to a corner and said.
“You can’t smell my cigarettes over there.”
"I've never heard of anyone dying from smoking."
"I've never heard of anyone dying from secondhand smoke."
"Why? Uncle, are you so afraid of death?"
The middle-aged man looked at the sharp-tongued boy in front of him, snorted coldly, and switched seats with a white-haired old man next to him.
The white-haired old man has been here since Jiang Bei sat down.
His eyes never left him.
And there was Jiang Bei’s counterattack against the middle-aged man just now.
Instead, it made the white-haired old man's eyes more appreciative of Jiang Bei.
Jiang Bei put out the cigarette, picked up the snacks on the table and started eating.
Everyone around was chatting with each other, but Jiang Bei felt a little bored and depressed.
Wei Guoxun was also chatting and laughing with the people around him.
Jiang Bei seemed quite lonely sitting here.
Wei Guoxun spoke first.
"I heard that this charity dinner has a new title than the previous ones."
"Whoever donates the most will become the charity king tonight!"
"Hahaha!"
Wei Guoxun's words immediately caused the people around him to sneer.
"You call yourself a philanthropist, but it's all for the little money in our pockets, right?"
"In my opinion, don't hold any charity dinners. We only have this many times every year."
"Why not just send someone to my company to collect it when the time comes?"
Wei Guoxun immediately retorted.
"Hey, Mr. Liu, you can't say that!"
"After all, we have reaped the benefits of the times."
"We've all gotten rich, so it's not a bad thing to donate some money!"
"If we have the ability, we can help those poor children and families. This is also a kind of merit!"
Someone immediately praised Wei Guoxun.
"Boss Wei is really open-minded!"
“You are worthy of being a pioneer of our generation.”
"I wonder how much Mr. Wei plans to donate this time?"
Wei Guoxun did not answer immediately, but instead fixed his eyes on Jiang Bei.
"How much you want to donate depends on how much the title of charity king is worth!"
At Wei Guoxun’s age.
He no longer pursues any profit, but cares more about reputation.
In fact, let’s break it down.
Fame is also directly related to profit.
Once you become famous, the industries under your name will also become famous.
His story will also be published in major media and newspapers the next day.
For example: The director of Wei Group was awarded the title of Charity King at this charity dinner!
Where does their money come from?
People!
Now the donations have been given back to the people.
It is equivalent to using the people's money to buy a good reputation for yourself.
Therefore, many people are disgusted with things like charity.
But in reality, we will still do what we should do.
As for where this money will go in the end?
Has it actually been used for charity?
They won’t care!
Jiang Bei noticed that the old man next to him was always looking at him.
He took out a lollipop and handed it to the old man.
"Are you going to eat?"
The old man shook his head.
"I have high blood sugar, so I can't eat too much sweet food!"
"Thank you, though, young man!"
Jiang Bei asked with a smile.
"You don't have to thank me. I just want to know. You've been looking at me for more than ten minutes."
"I know I'm handsome, but isn't it a bit rude for an old man like you to keep looking at me?"
The white-haired old man laughed again after listening to Jiang Bei's words.
"Indeed, I apologize."
"Those who can sit at this table are all business elites in Magic City."
"The companies are all ranked among the best in the country."
"But you look unfamiliar. If I'm not mistaken, you should be from a newly emerged company in recent years!"
"Jiang Bei, the chairman of Jiang Group, right?"
As soon as they heard Jiang Bei's name, everyone else at the table looked at him.
They all know the Jiang Group very well.
This is also because of the employee welfare benefits provided by Jiang Group over the years.
It also directly or indirectly caused them to suffer some losses.
When Jiang Bei's name was mentioned, they felt only hatred in their hearts.
What? It seems like you make money?
It shows that you care about your employees so much by giving them long holidays and increasing their salaries.
If you do this alone, aren't you deliberately standing against them?
Therefore, in their eyes, Jiang Bei's actions made him their enemy!
Jiang Bei didn't need to deny it.
"Yes, I'm Jiang Bei, I wonder who you are, old man?"
The white-haired old man also replied with a smile.
"My name is Su Hongzhang, just call me Lao Su."
Jiang Bei suddenly realized what was going on and immediately stood up to express his respect to Su Hongzhang.
"So you are Mr. Su, I am so sorry for your disrespect!"
