Chapter 231 Guest List of Charity Gala

"Boss, do you want to see the list of guests at the charity party?"

...

After roughly understanding the current operation details of the "Project z" foundation, Zhang Chen quickly "touched" the topic to the preparations for the "charity party".

When Anna heard that he was "focusing" on this, she was really surprised at the beginning.

Because, she really didn't expect that Zhang Chen would be so "interested" in this regard. After all, you must know that before that, Zhang Chen didn't even know the current total assets of "project z", but now he is suddenly so concerned about a charity party hosted by "project z"? This is really surprising.

However, Anna didn't say much at the time. Instead, she focused on introducing Zhang Chen to the preparations for this "charity party".

It turns out that this party must be said seriously, in fact, it is not something that "project z" is to be held. Because Anna has adhered to a principle set by Zhang Chen for "project z" before, that is, under normal circumstances, "project z" does not accept other foreign "injections", but only relies on Zhang Chen's personal "injections" and Anna's financial operations.

In this case, the business of "project z" does not need to be held, of course, any "charity party" is not required. Because, the general "charity party" is usually just to raise more donations.

However, "project z" is not needed. The reason is as mentioned before. In order to ensure the complete independence of the future operation of the "project z" foundation and not be subject to external intervention, Zhang Chen set the principle that he did not accept external investment.

However, what they didn't expect was that the idea of ​​"donation" was discovered by the local officials, and immediately they felt that this should be a good demonstration that could expand publicity and arouse people's charity and friendship. So they proposed to organize a large-scale "charity party" in the name of the "Project z" foundation.

Of course, local governments will definitely support it with full support. They even won the opportunity to broadcast the national live broadcast for this "charity party".

Although the headquarters of this satellite channel is located in the northwest province of China and is not one of the top satellite TV channels with the highest ratings in the country, it is not too small to be able to truly enter the satellite channel.

"But, what are they going to prepare for a 'charity party' and prepare to raise funds?"

When Zhang Chen heard this, he still didn't quite understand what was going on. Because according to his original "plan", when their "project z" foundation was engaged in business in China, they basically did sole-owned donations. Not only did they not accept capital injections into their "project z" foundation, but even every project would not accept "foreign capital". In this way, what is the effect of preparing for that "charity party"? He thought to himself.

However, what he did not expect was that although their "project z" project was under their "project z", there were many other derivative projects around their project that required funds.

For example, the road can be repaired, right? There are also poverty alleviation targeting specific groups, etc., which all require money; so, it is certainly possible to raise funds. But if the supervision is not effective, then their "project z" foundation may be unlucky. After all, these funds are raised in the name of their "project z" foundation.

However, in fact, Anna also took necessary precautions to this issue, that is, while she agreed to the local government's request to hold this charity party in the name of their "project z" foundation, she also required a certain degree of supervision over the funds raised, that is, the right to check accounts anytime and anywhere. Without this, they would rather not hold this charity party than easily agree to "name".

But when the local government heard their request, there was no too much embarrassment. Because, the reason why the local government requested to organize this "charity party" in the name of their "project z" was that they were interested in the identity of their outsiders.

As the saying goes, "Foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures"! After all, "project z" comes from M Country. Although the actual investor of this "project z" foundation is a real Chinese like Zhang Chen, the local area does not know it! Moreover, no matter who the investor behind this "project z" foundation is, at least, there is one thing that can be verified now, that is, it has indeed and clearly belongs to foreign capital so far, which is enough.

A foreign foundation? A foreign-funded charity organization, come to China for charity activities? No matter how large it is, it is a good publicity anyway, and it is also a very good "shocking education" opportunity for national love. So, in the end, the local government decided to let "project z" prepare for this "charity party". As for the funds raised, they clearly expressed that they were willing to use it under the supervision of "project z", which at least guaranteed that they would use it in the future. Until they heard this guarantee, Anna felt relieved, and finally decided to accept the request to prepare for this "charity party".

"Well. That's OK."

Zhang Chen was quite satisfied when he heard Anna's introduction. In fact, he was very skeptical about the "Project z" foundation that was going to organize a "charity party" so soon. After all, the "Project z" now is just a small foundation that has just been established for one or two months. Maybe there are not many staff members yet? Is such a large event going to be planned so soon? Then, will it be easy to make mistakes?

However, when Anna heard what he said, she was speechless again, "There are not many people yet? Boss, do you have any misunderstandings about our 'project z'? Our 'project z' currently has more than 50 employees!"

"What? The 'project z' has more than fifty employees? So fast?"

As a result, when Zhang Chen heard this, he was immediately "surprised" again. Because he really didn't expect that Anna's work efficiency was so high. In just one or two months, she not only turned the principal of hundreds of thousands of dollars she gave her into more than two million, but she directly doubled it, and even the staff were "equipped" almost all of them?

No wonder they came to China to prepare for the project.

Zhang Chen thought to himself. He felt very happy and excited for a moment. Because this is definitely a very real good and good deed. "Project z" is a charitable foundation after all, and the projects it is preparing to carry out are of course some very charitable and caring projects.

For example, when Zhang Chen first founded the "Project z" foundation, he once told Anna about an important "donation direction". That is, in the future, "Project z" will go to the poor mountain villages in China, do their best to build a number of teaching buildings with quality and good conditions for left-behind children in the countryside to reduce the dropout rate of children in the poor mountain villages. Especially those young people who were originally willing to study hard and read, and in the future, they would go out of the mountains, the countryside, the town, the city, and the province to show their "fighting and kicking".

He can't help them realize their dreams completely, but at least, he can provide them with this opportunity. This is the real opportunity to give back to society, right? Zhang Chen thought to himself. It was based on this mentality that he decided to take out more than half of the royalties under the vests of z.d.g and dr.z to start such a charity foundation. Unexpectedly, just over two months later, his "dream" can be basically said to have been "realized".

"Boss, the first project of our foundation is to build a brand new teaching building for children in the impoverished mountainous areas of western China, about three floors and one thousand square meters. Now, the cost estimate has been released, and it costs about three million yuan!"

“More, how much?”

When Zhang Chen heard this, he was almost "stunned" at this time! It just built an ordinary teaching building, which actually costs three million yuan? How is this possible? Isn't this only more than one thousand square meters? Based on the average price of about 1,200-1,500 yuan per square, shouldn't this more than one thousand square teaching building be about one million to one million and one.5 million yuan? How could it exceed the average price?

"No, boss, you're wrong! The unit price of 1200-1500 is just the price of the plains. We are in the mountains, in the countryside! The transportation cost is more than half of the construction cost."

Fortunately, Anna quickly explained to him. The price is definitely not wrong, but this is also because their "project z" foundation has strict requirements on the quality of the project. Otherwise, it would be possible to squeeze it desperately and keep the cost below 2.5 million.

However, Zhang Chen quickly gave a negative answer to this possibility. This is also true. He was originally aiming to give back to society. How could he save such money? At worst, it would be less, but since it was built, it must be based on the highest quality standards.

"Okay. But there is another thing, that is, next Wednesday's charity party, you will send me a list of invited guests!"
