Death Reincarnation Game Chapter 357: Fundraising
bsp;"...Now the helmsman of Layton Company has become Manson Layton's granddaughter, Ouyani Layton"
Justin told Su Peng
"His granddaughter? Does he have no other heirs?"
Su Peng felt a little strange after hearing this, and asked Justin
"Manson Layton had two sons, but as I said before, he suffered an assassination. In fact, that assassination almost achieved its goal. Manson was shot four times and almost died, and his two Two sons were also attacked at the same place. One was unlucky enough to be shot in the head by a gunman, and the other is still paralyzed in bed. He was shot twice in the spine and will never stand up again in his life."
"The remaining people are only the third generation of the Layton family. His two sons left two grandsons and one granddaughter to Manson Layton, but Manson Layton seemed to like him. My granddaughter, well, actually I have also met her on the board of directors. She is a woman very much like her grandfather, very principled and tough, but she does not have a good relationship with her two cousins."
Justin explained to Su Peng
After listening to Justin's explanation, Su Peng suddenly remembered the Guo Feiyi he met at the auction in the game. This Ouyani Layton seemed to have a very similar background to Guo Feiyi
"As far as I know, Ouyani Layton has been doing her best to maintain the Layton family, her position in Layton Company, and the assets of Layton Company. It's just that she has bad luck, except for taking over Layton Company. In the first year of Leighton Company, after the company's stock rose by thirteen yuan, Leighton Company has been having various problems. The main reason is that the firearms developed by other companies are always compared with those of other companies. I know some news and there are rumors that, There is an insider in the company who has been stealing the company's design drawings and giving them to other companies in the past few years, which makes Leighton's products always weaker than others. The company has been secretly investigating this matter for two or three years, but I don’t have a clue yet”
"As for the economic situation of Layton Company, according to the written document given to us by Ouyani Layton on the board of directors, the company's cash flow has entered an extremely tight state. The company has begun to consider shutting down some facilities and considering layoffs... ...As for the current funding gap, it is at least more than 400 million US dollars."
Justin finally told everything he knew about Leighton Company
Su Peng nodded while listening, and had an intuitive impression of the current situation of this company
If most of what Justin said is true, then the current situation of Layton Company is really quite miserable
The company has not made any money in recent years, and has invested a lot of money in weapons development. Weapons development cannot be stopped. Once it stops, it will not be able to catch up with other companies
But once developed, no one can guarantee whether the design drawings will be leaked. If leaked, it will be even worse for Layton Company
At the same time, the company cannot publish public financial statements for financing. The company's poor performance in recent years will make many stock holders lose confidence. However, it is difficult to obtain support from within the company. The situation is not clear now. , no one knows whether this company can be saved, or it is still a money pit
For the time being, this company is in trouble
Of course, Su Peng will not completely trust Justin’s words, and will have to do a lot of investigations in the future
"I know about Jia Sitong. I will investigate it clearly within a week. Trust me, don't rush to sell stocks yet, wait for a while"
Su Peng said to Justin, who nodded doubtfully. Su Peng exchanged business cards with him, said a few words, and said goodbye
Not long after, Su Peng saw Kirk leading Salin to Jas and starting to talk to the three of them. Just looking at Justin's appearance, he kept shaking his head. He didn't know that it was because Kirk and Salin were not having a smooth conversation. Did Justin listen to what Su Peng said?
Su Peng was in a quiet corner, watching all this, slowly tasting the wine, thinking about what he should do
The first thing to do is to contact people from Merrill Lynch and launder your money. The other thing is to entrust Merrill Lynch or other investigation companies to check the situation of Layton Company and whether it is Just like what Justin said, if you don’t have enough funds, you can consider selling a small amount of gold.
Thinking about these things, time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the dinner party
The host of the dinner, Salin, and his beautiful blond lady, walked to the center of the banquet hall. The guests gathered towards them. He seemed to be giving a speech.
"Gentlemen, ladies, my dear neighbors and friends, thank you for coming to this dinner today, and special thanks to Kevin Rudd, our future Prime Minister of Australia, for also attending our dinner"
Salin made his opening remarks first, and there was applause all around. Many eyes also focused on Lu Kewen beside Salin. The man smiled and greeted everyone
“Thanks to the relatively stable financial order in the past two years, we have been able to slowly recover from the impact of the economic crisis. As far as I know, most of the gentlemen and ladies here have, in the past one to two years, Whether it is business or investment, we have received quite generous returns. We need to thank the Australian government for this. Australia under their governance is relatively stable and allows us to accumulate wealth."
Salin said with a smile on his face. Speaking of the economic environment in the past two years, most of the dinner guests still felt good. After listening to Salin's words, they expressed their deep sympathy, and many people nodded repeatedly
Salin felt satisfied when he looked at the reaction next to him. However, he immediately changed the topic and said: "This prosperous economic situation is mostly due to Australia's relatively stable political situation. The stability of the political situation is due to To the stability of society, the stability of society is attributed to the reasonable operation of each class in society, and to the fact that each class is content with its social responsibilities and completes its work without any complaints. There is no crime, no dissatisfaction and conflict. ”
"However, the fly in the ointment is that there are still some hidden dangers in this stability"
“Among them, there are two serious problems: one is the existence of extremely poor families, and the other is the existence of Australian gangs, which has seriously affected our security and social stability”
"Because of laziness, depravity, low education, or stupidity and luck and some reasons that can be attributed to God, among Australia's 20 million people, there are about 7,000 poor people who can only have the government Assets used for basic living. Many of them are drug addicts. Their children cannot receive education. They are also the main force in violent crimes."
"The other problem is the gang problem. According to the data I have, not to mention the whole of Australia, as far as Canberra is concerned, there are more than 100 criminal cases committed by gangs against people of our class every year. , don’t think this is rare. As far as I know, most victims are shy or don’t want to call the police for various reasons.”
"These two problems are the two threats and cancers facing our class"
"I feel that, gentlemen and ladies here, now that we are generally safe and have wealth, shouldn't something be done to increase our safety and comfort?"
“For example, paying a small amount of money to help those who are trapped in poverty, so that they can get medical treatment and re-education opportunities, and provide themselves with educational opportunities, thereby improving the safety factor of our entire society”
"Or, fund the Canberra Police Department and set up a special team to combat gang crime, so that our safety can be improved?"
"I believe that both of these are sensible, wise and decent investments"
"I currently have two proposals in hand, one is a charity project to fund poor people's access to good education and medical care, and the other is a project to fund the establishment of a special gang crime response team by the Canberra Police Department"
"The purpose of the dinner is to raise funds for these two projects"
"Of these two projects, one will contribute to our class and society in the long run, and the other will personally protect our safety. I believe everyone understands this."
"Here, I have specially set up two donation boxes, corresponding to two projects respectively. Sirs and ladies, please raise funds for these two projects according to your own wishes"
Salin said, and as he spoke, he expressed his stance first, saying: "I, Salin Mansaton, donate 150,000 Australian dollars to education and medical projects for children from poor families, and 100,000 Australian dollars to fund the establishment of a special team by the Canberra Police Department."
After listening to Salin’s words, there was a burst of applause from the surrounding area
Immediately afterwards, donations started, and people kept pouring donations into these two donation boxes
However, because this is a dinner, not everyone brings a cash check. For those who do not bring a check, if they want to donate, they can write a card with their name and donation amount and throw it in.
Of course, these cards must be cashed, and it is okay not to cash them, but from now on this person will become a laughing stock in Canberra's upper-class social circles, and will be despised and unable to move forward
Su Peng was there, watching these gentlemen and ladies donate to the two donation boxes. Jasitong Kirk, the other two rich men, and Rulkwen all donated one after another
The amount of donation ranges from a few hundred Australian dollars to tens of thousands of Australian dollars
Although the people here are relatively wealthy, it’s not like anyone just donates to a dinner party and has to spend so much money
Su Peng looked at Salin, who was talking to a man in police uniform. Judging from the man's attire, he should be someone with a high position in the police industry
But this is normal. Among the two donations, one is to raise funds for the group established by the police department. Someone from the Canberra Police Department must come to express their gratitude
I just don’t know if the person coming is the chief or deputy chief of the police station
Su Peng looked at Salin. This man's speech made Su Peng understand a little about him
This Mr. Salin, just listen to his words, he is a very sensible person
The angle of his speech was not sensational, nor did he emphasize the difficulties of those being assisted. Instead, he focused on the consideration of the interests of the class in fundraising. From this perspective, if he did not say this intentionally to stimulate donations, then this is it. This is the way people think, and everything likes to be considered from this perspective
Of course, this may be the mainstream thinking of Australia's wealthy people. Su Peng himself is an outsider, so he finds it a bit strange
Looking at the senior policeman who was talking together, as well as Salin and Lu Kewen, Su Peng thought, maybe he should show off and leave some impression on them?
This is not to cling to them, but at this moment, Su Peng vaguely thought of a vague plan...
With a smile, Su Peng already made a decision. He put down his wine glass and walked towards the donation place
Next to the donation box, Su Peng picked up a card and wrote a number
A waiter who was recording the list of donors and the amount saw his eyes change when he saw the amount written by Su Peng. He looked up at Su Peng and asked: "Sir, are you sure?"
"OK"
Su Peng nodded and picked up the card. The waiter nodded, raised his head and said: "Mr. Walter Su, donate 250,000 Australian dollars to charity projects and 300,000 Australian dollars to Canberra Police Department projects."
When the surrounding guests heard the donation amount, many people exclaimed. Even Lu Kewen, Salin and others who were talking quietly aside turned their heads to look here
Su Peng looked at the glances directed at him, smiled and nodded, then walked over and gently placed the two cards in the two donation boxes respectively
At this time, the expressions of the gentlemen and ladies around him had changed somewhat
Although almost none of the guests attending this dinner are worth less than one million Australian dollars, it is rare to see a gentleman with several million Australian dollars and the ability to spend 550,000 in cash at any time for charitable donations.
The number of assets and cash flow are two different concepts. Being worth millions and taking out millions are not the same thing
He can easily come up with 550,000 in cash for casual donations. According to the estimates of the gentlemen present, his cash flow should be more than several million, because few people make a one-time donation and use up their entire life. One-tenth of the assets
If the cash flow is five million, then the total assets should theoretically be more than ten times that of cash. This is true for most gentlemen here. If there is one million cash, then there should be ten times that. Other assets or equity, after all, most of the people here are investors, not drug dealers or gangsters with terrible cash flow and few fixed assets
In this way, Su Peng’s total assets are about to be revealed... at least more than 50 million Australian dollars
This level of worth, although not the most outstanding in today’s dinner party, is still among the top ones
Besides, having 50 million Australian dollars and being willing to spend 550,000 Australian dollars at will are two different things. Especially when this gentleman was an Asian, he attracted attention
After a few seconds of exclamation and stares, a burst of applause broke out from the surrounding area
Su Peng smiled slightly and gave way to the donation box, but he had already become the focus to some extent
For example, Salin, the host of the dinner, walked towards Su Peng at this time, smiled and said to Su Peng... To be continued, (.Vote for recommendation monthly, mobile phone users please go to m.. to read
