Chapter 611 Rejecting a Gift Worth Hundred Million, and Instead Donating 1 Million
"Boss Ma, what kind of amazing treasure is in this box?"
"Village Chief Jiang! These are a pair of imperial green jadeite longevity locks that I bought from an overseas auction house!" Boss Ma shouted in his hoarse voice.
He held the box high above his head.
"Worth 80 million! This green-headed creature is absolutely worthy of your two little darlings!"
Upon hearing this, the wealthy people around him all turned red in the eyes.
"Old Ma, get out of here! You dare to bring out 80 million and make a fool of yourself!" Boss Li shoved Boss Ma aside.
"Village Chief Jiang! Look at this!"
Mr. Li held a crystal box in both hands.
"A pair of luminous pearls from the South China Sea! As big as a fist! They could illuminate a house completely at night!"
"Worth a hundred million! This is a top-quality item that I specially commissioned from a deep-sea salvage team!" Boss Li shouted, puffing out his chest.
The big shots below have all gone crazy.
They pushed and shoved forward with all their might.
"A century-old wild ginseng! Not a single rootlet is broken! Worth fifty million! A rare find acquired from an old hunter in the Greater Khingan Mountains!"
"A pair of exquisite blue-and-white porcelain pieces from the Ming Dynasty imperial kilns! Worth 200 million! They just landed yesterday!"
The person in charge of announcing the names didn't even have time to drink water.
He held up a red cloth notebook and loudly announced his name.
His forehead was covered in sweat.
"The Wang family of Beijing is giving away a fully furnished courtyard house in the suburbs of Beijing!"
"Mr. Li from Shanghai is giving away two large apartments on the Bund! Garage included!"
"Mr. Ma from Shenzhen is gifting you a yacht! The top-of-the-line model!"
The compound had completely transformed into a scene of extreme flaunting of wealth.
These are tycoons who value money more than their lives.
Nowadays, people are willing to empty their savings just to give gifts.
As long as you can establish even the slightest connection with Jiangjia Village, you'll be able to do whatever you want in the business world.
Zhao Tai mingled at the very back of the crowd.
He was holding the property certificate for the Yunhai Bay Villa in his hand.
Large beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead.
The back of my shirt was completely soaked.
"Dad! Our 50 million yuan dilapidated house is simply not presentable!" Zhao Tai said in a low voice into the phone with a mournful face.
"The people ahead of me have even given away yachts worth hundreds of millions! My shabby villa is nothing!"
Zhao Chengzhi on the other end of the phone cursed loudly.
"We have to give it even if it's not presentable! We'll fight tooth and nail to get it on the gift list! It's our family's lifeline!"
"Even if you kneel on the ground and kowtow, you still have to hand that property certificate to Village Chief Jiang! If you can't get it done, don't ever come back to the Zhao family!" Zhao Chengzhi roared.
Wang Dagou stood on the stage, holding Tianci in his arms.
Looking at the group of crazy big shots below, sweat poured down his bald head.
"Good heavens! These people really don't value money!"
"Brother Qiang, look at that luminous pearl that looks like a big winter melon! I've never seen anything so bright in my life!" Wang Dagou muttered in a low voice.
Li Qiang, who was standing to maintain order, glared at him with annoyance.
"You spineless coward! Hold onto the young master tight! If you're missing a single hair, Brother Chen will chop you up!" Li Qiang warned loudly.
Jiang Chen held An Yan in his arms with one hand.
He looked at the chaotic scene below, his expression remaining completely unchanged.
The noise in the courtyard grew louder and louder.
Mr. Li and Mr. Ma almost got into a fight over who should register first.
"Get out of the way! I prepared this luminous pearl three months ago! I'll go first!" Boss Li glared and yelled.
"You don't know any of the rules! I'm in front of you!" Boss Ma retorted defiantly.
The situation was about to get out of control.
Jiang Chen raised his hand and tapped the microphone twice with his knuckles.
"Thump! Thump!"
The dull echoes exploded through hundreds of high-powered speakers.
The audience was silent.
The bosses who were arguing heatedly quickly shut up.
They stood up straight, their faces beaming with smiles as they looked at the stage.
"I, Jiang Chen, appreciate everyone's kindness!"
Jiang Chen's voice had an extremely strong penetrating power.
"Everyone is willing to travel all the way to Qinghe County, a poor and remote place, to support my two little ones."
"I'm very grateful!"
The bosses below waved their hands repeatedly.
"Village Chief Jiang, you're too kind!"
"It's our honor to have you here for a drink!"
Jiang Chen held the microphone, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.
"But today, I'm going to set a rule!"
He pointed to the mountain of rare and precious items piled up on the gift list table.
"The Jiang family is not short of money!"
"I, Jiang Chen, will not accept any gifts, antiques, or real estate from you!"
"Today we're just having drinks and food; we won't accept a single gift!"
Jiang Chen waved his hand and spoke domineeringly.
"Take everything that was just put in the account back the way you came!"
These words were spoken.
The entire courtyard was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The man in the front row, Mr. Ma, had his mouth agape wide enough to fit a duck egg.
"Village Chief Jiang... there's no way we can return this gift!"
Boss Li was also getting anxious.
"Village Chief Jiang! You're slapping us in the face! Do you think our gifts are too meager?"
"I'll have someone send another 30 million in cash right away! They'll be there in ten minutes!" Boss Li shouted, slapping his thigh.
Su Tianhao, sitting in the hall, couldn't sit still any longer.
He stood up from his chair and strode to the steps.
"Jiang Chen! What are you doing?"
Su Tianhao lowered his voice and questioned.
"This is billions of dollars worth of resources and cash! These people are practically begging to do you a favor, and you're turning them away?"
"Tianci is the grandson of the Su family. If we don't accept this gift, how can we maintain our connections?" Su Tianhao stamped his feet anxiously.
Grandpa Jiang sat on the tiger chair, his hand holding the purple clay teapot suspended in mid-air.
The old man has seen all sorts of big scenes.
This was the first time he had ever seen money being pushed out like this.
"Brother Chen, what are you up to?" Old Master Jiang asked loudly, tapping his cane.
Jiang Chen ignored the astonishment of those around him.
He looked down at An Yan, who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
"Great-grandfather, father-in-law, this money is too hot to handle."
Jiang Chen brought the microphone closer.
"Every penny earned from the businesses in my Jiangjia Village is completely clean!"
"These bosses give us billions today, and tomorrow they can swindle tens of billions in profits out of us!"
Jiang Chen snorted coldly.
"He who takes a man's money is bound to him; he who eats his food is obligated to him. I, Jiang Chen, only live off my wife!"
Su Qing sat next to her, covering her mouth and laughing.
"You have such a sharp tongue, even on such a joyous occasion you can't keep a straight face. But I like this decision, we'll earn the money ourselves," Su Qing agreed with a smile.
The bigwigs below were in a panic.
If you don't accept gifts, you won't be able to build this relationship! If you can't build this relationship, how will you survive in Nanjiang Province in the future!
"Village Chief Jiang! Please, just give me some face!"
"We absolutely will not make any demands; it's purely a gift from an elder to a younger generation!"
"That's right, Village Chief Jiang! You can keep this luminous pearl and let the little princess play with it as a marble!" Boss Li was so anxious that he was sweating.
The cries of pleas from below blended together.
Those wealthy people who hadn't given the gifts were even more anxious.
Jiang Chen saw that it was almost done cooking.
"Alright! Stop arguing!" Jiang Chen roared.
The courtyard fell silent again.
"I know everyone wants to build good karma!"
"To accumulate merit and pray for blessings for my two children, I, Jiang Chen, will take the lead today and organize a charity event in the names of Jiang Tianci and Jiang Anyan!"
Jiang Chen snapped his fingers crisply.
"Li Qiang! Bring the things up!"
Li Qiang was already waiting backstage.
Upon hearing the order, he carried a black titanium alloy briefcase and strode up the platform.
"Brother Chen! It's all here!"
Li Qiang placed the box heavily on the high table.
The password was entered, and the clasp popped open.
The box lid was wide open.
There was no cash inside.
They were all stacks of consecutive, top-tier, large-denomination bank drafts!
The amount on each bill was shockingly large.
"I personally donate 100 million yuan in cash to the China Hope Project!"
Jiang Chen pointed to the box of bank drafts and announced loudly.
"The full payment has been transferred to the official account!"
These words landed in the courtyard.
The wealthy people in the room collectively gasped.
Ten billion is nothing to them.
One hundred million is nothing to Jiang Chen.
But at this crucial moment of celebrating his 100th day, he refused to accept a single penny and instead donated 100 million yuan out of his own pocket!
This is a hardcore operation of reverse money distribution.
This completely stunned these big shots who were used to money transactions.
"My God! This is true vision!"
"No wonder they were able to monopolize the business across the entire province!"
"No wonder the Jiang family is making a fortune!"
The wealthy people below whispered among themselves, all expressing their admiration.
Su Tianhao, who was anxious just a moment ago, now had his eyes light up.
He slapped his thigh hard.
"Good lad! That's a brilliant move of using someone else's flowers to present to Buddha!" Su Tianhao laughed loudly.
This not only shut those old foxes up, but also brought great fame to the granddaughter.
Su Tianhao walked directly to the center of the stage.
"My father-in-law is so generous! Our Su family absolutely cannot fall behind!"
Su Tianhao waved his hand confidently.
"Our Su Group will invest 50 million!"
"Consider this a donation from me, the grandfather, to my grandson and granddaughter for their one-month celebration!"
Upon hearing this, Boss Ma's mind raced.
He slammed the golden nanmu box shut.
"Village Chief Jiang! Old Ma, I understand!"
"I'll donate 20 million! I'll put it on the charity list of my two little darlings!" Boss Ma shouted.
Boss Li also realized what was happening.
"I'll donate fifteen million!"
"Our whole family will donate 30 million!"
The wealthy people in the courtyard were once again frantically scrambling to report their numbers.
Just to have their name on the Jiang family's charity list.
Zhao Tai stood behind, gritting his teeth.
"I'll donate 50 million! I'll sell my villa and donate the cash!" Zhao Tai shouted in his hoarse voice.
Grandpa Jiang stroked his goatee and nodded repeatedly from behind.
"Sharing blessings and helping others when you're successful! Brother Chen has made the right move!" the old man praised loudly.
Representatives from several official media outlets, sitting in the corner, had already set up their cameras and microphones.
The flashbulbs kept going off.
These media outlets paid a hefty price to obtain the privileges to conduct interviews on the periphery.
Whoever gets the first news story will be rolling in bonuses this month.
Several reporters carrying cameras rushed out of the crowd.
The crowd caused the wealthy people in front to stumble and fall.
A female reporter shoved a microphone with the station logo directly in front of the steps.
Wang Dagou and several security guards were about to go up and stop them.
Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling them to move aside.
The female reporter blushed with excitement and asked loudly into the microphone.
"Village Chief Jiang! Your enormous donation is truly astounding!"
"Many netizens are now very interested in which specific Project Hope you plan to invest this huge sum of 100 million yuan in?"
