Chapter 2681 Charity Dinner?

2681

Pieces of space delicacies were served to the dining table.

This space station can make fire and cook, which was absolutely unimaginable in the world more than a hundred years ago. In the space station more than a hundred years ago, let alone cooking, even the gravity system could not be handled. All Everyone on the space station must be in a state of weightlessness.

This dinner really fits the title of the top dinner, because it is difficult to find a more top position than this. If we want to break this record next time, we will probably have to go to the moon to hold a dinner party.

For people like Xu Taiping, what they eat at the dinner table is not important, what they talk about is the most important thing.

Everyone here knows how to make money, and everyone talks about business matters.

Xu Taiping doesn't talk much. Although he is rich, he mostly acts as a hands-off shopkeeper, while Liu Hao talks more.

The greatest value of this dinner is the chat.

Wu Xue stood aside. Although he couldn't serve it, he listened with great interest.

While everyone was chatting, Van Gundy suddenly changed the topic.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think about charity?" Van Gundy suddenly asked.

"Charity?" Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't have any opinion. If you have the ability to help, if you don't have the ability to do your best, just don't cause trouble to others."

“According to the latest data I have obtained, more than one billion people in the world are still in extreme poverty, and another billion people have just solved the problem of food and clothing. In addition, there are more than three billion people in the world without any savings. In addition, there are as many as four billion people without social medical insurance or pensions. As long as they are seriously ill or retire, these people will fall into an unsustainable state, and many people will even have to Extend working hours to put food on the table. Although everyone here is a rich man with assets worth hundreds of millions, we must know that this world is still very poor!" Van Gundy said.

"Indeed, there are still many poor people!" Olanda nodded.

"Mr. Xu, do you think this world is fair?" Van Gundy asked.

"This world? It's fair!" Xu Taiping laughed.

"Fair?" Van Gundy frowned slightly and said, "How can this world be called fair? There are still so many people who can't afford food, so many people who can't afford medical treatment, and so many people who have no savings. It's all life. We can be here, Is it fair to look at the earth and eat while many people can only pick food from garbage bags?"

"This is the greatest fairness." Xu Taiping looked at Van Gundy and said, "The only thing we have no way to decide is that you are born in this world. This is an absolutely random thing, no matter you are a genius or a mediocre person, no matter you are How about it? Your birth in this world is all random, and randomness is the greatest fairness to everyone. Don't say that you can't afford food and medical treatment. This is fate. If someone lives a good life in this world, there must be someone else. Life is not good, some people live a rich life, and some people are as miserable as a dog. This is determined at birth. This is not unfair, this is precisely the greatest fairness. What is unfair? Unfair is that you can It’s unfair to decide whether to be reborn into a rich family or a poor family, otherwise, it’s all fair.”

"I don't think so." Van Gundy shook his head and said, "I think everyone should have the same life, everyone should be able to afford food, and everyone should be able to get medical treatment. We are born as human beings, why do we live a good life? , are people living a bad life? There are too many unfair things in this world. Some people can get into good companies after graduating from college, while some people can't find a satisfactory job in their whole life. Some people can get it easily. Don’t worry, beauties, some people may end up alone. There are too many unfair things in this world, and I have been committed to solving this unfairness for so many years.”

"Oh? How do you solve it?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I established a charitable foundation that has been committed to improving people's lives. Over the years, I have injected more than 100 billion in funds into this foundation and helped millions of people solve their food and clothing problems. I have helped thousands of people solve their medical problems, and I have also decided to invest 99% of all my property in this charitable foundation within the next ten years. I think , since we are born as humans and come to this world, for some reasons, we have become people with greater resources, we have the obligation to give back to the world and let others live the lives of ordinary people. This is what we The meaning of the existence of these rich people, and this is also the real theme of our summit dinner this time! The theme of our summit dinner this time is: charity!" Van Gundy said.

Each top-level dinner will have a theme, which is determined by the organizer.

There have been various themes in the past, and there have been similar themes before, but this is the first time that the theme of charity has been decided.

The people present looked at each other, seeming a little surprised by such a theme.

"I think the charity theme is very good. Since we have money, we should help more people." Oranda said.

"Indeed!" The people around nodded.

"I have always felt that helping more people is the biggest meaning of making money. There are so many of us here with a combined total assets of close to 10 trillion. We have such huge resources and are fully capable of changing the world. The living conditions of the poor people." Van Gundy said.

"I think charity can be done, but it cannot be done blindly." Xu Taiping said seriously.

"How do you say it?" Van Gundy asked.

"Some people are poor because of their starting point. If these people have the ability, they can help. But some people are poor because of laziness. There is no need for such people to help them. The reason why I say the world is fair, then It’s because as long as you give something, you will definitely gain something. The vast majority of people can always solve the problem of food and clothing as long as they work hard. Only a very small number of people can’t solve the problem of food and clothing no matter how hard they work. Talents really need help, such as children, the elderly, the disabled... Moreover, I always feel that teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish. You will never be able to meet everyone's needs. The real purpose of charity is to help those in need. Rely on your own efforts instead of completing them into a bottomless pit," Xu Taiping said.

"I fully agree with what you said. In fact, for so many years, I have been providing employment opportunities to some people who need help. However, my strength alone is not enough after all. At this dinner, I don't want just everyone Eat a meal and then chat. I hope our dinner can bring some changes to the world, a bigger change, make our world a better place, and help those who live in dire straits. , can live a better and more secure life!" Van Gundy said.

"Van Gundy, this is too simple. I can immediately invest one billion in your charity fund." Uwumazo, who has been ignored by no one, said.

"I can also invest one billion." Oranda said.

"I have less money, but I can invest 20 million." Shelley said.

"I personally invested one billion." Xu Taiping said.

"I also have one billion." Franky said.

"I am one billion." Europa said.

"I'll give it 100 million," Liu Hao said.

"Look, it's billions all of a sudden." Olanda said with a smile.

"No, no, no, you may not understand what I mean." Van Gundy shook his head. "A few hundred million, a billion or so, it seems like a lot, but in the world, this amount of money is simply not enough. I have decided In the next ten years, I will invest 99% of my assets in charity projects. I have decided to give everything I have for a better world. I hope... you can also donate your money like me. Ninety-nine percent of your assets... In my opinion, even if you donate 99% of your assets, the remaining one percent is enough to keep you clothed and well-fed for a lifetime, and you 100% Ninety-nine of the assets are enough to help hundreds of millions or even billions of people live a better life in the future. In the history of the world, there will definitely be your outstanding performance. I think that every businessman will eventually We should give back to the world because everything we get is from this world.”

"Donate ninety-nine percent? Hahaha, are you kidding us? This joke is not funny at all!" Uwumazo laughed.

Several wealthy people around looked at each other. What Van Gundy said was a bit shocking. Donating 99% of his property would be equivalent to giving away the country he had worked so hard to build. Who would be willing to do that?

"Money is just something external to oneself." Van Gundy said seriously, "When the property you donate helps more people, you will find that you can experience the happiness that money cannot bring. I hope you can all Like me, give back to the world, I am not joking, I seriously hope everyone can do this!"

"If I were your age, maybe I would consider donating everything I have, but... I am forty years younger than you, and I still have forty years to reach where you are now, so... let me donate my hundred Ninety-nine percent of the property is unrealistic." Xu Taiping smiled and shook his head.

People around him also laughed and shook their heads. They felt that what Van Gundy said was a bit ridiculous. He wanted to donate hundreds of millions, billions or even tens of billions. As long as Van Gundy opened his mouth, everyone would probably give Van Gundy a face and donate 100%. Ninety-nine percent of the wealth is worth over one trillion yuan, which is simply impossible.

"I actually think this is impossible." Van Gundy laughed at himself, and then said, "So, from the beginning to the end, I never thought about convincing you, so I could only use other means. ”

Any other means?

Everyone was surprised. What other methods could Van Gundy use?

at this time…

The lights in the sightseeing hall suddenly flashed.
