Chapter 1948: Let's do something for the world togethe

Since Joseph Jr. was born, the entire United States has been thinking about how to get a picture of this little boy. As long as he can take the lead in publishing his photos, the media will definitely be on fire, and even be able to go to the top.

So the major media began to get close to all methods to obtain photos of Joseph Smith. Outgoing prices. First it was one million dollars, then it rose to two million dollars, then three million dollars and four million dollars. Prices are skyrocketing. At that time, all paparazzi did nothing and were thinking about how to take pictures. As long as they could take pictures, they could eat and drink in the second half of their lives.

For a long time, although celebrity photos are ridiculously expensive, magazines are still willing to bleed books, and the benefits behind it are obvious. Therefore, an exclusive, sensational photo can immediately boost the sales of magazines and take the lead in the heated media competition.

And celebrities and celebrities have also seen another aspect of their own value. Now more and more celebrities know how to manipulate the media to achieve self-hype or achieve other intents. The reason why Andy and Ivana are willing to release photos of Joseph Joseph, In fact, it is also due to the protection of their children. Since it is destined to grow up in a low-key, it is better to face it from the beginning with an open attitude.

I have to say that "People" magazine is really willing to pay for it. Whether it is the $ 4.3 million of Julie and Pete's children, or the 10 million price of Joseph Jr., he won the money without hesitation, although he also participated in the auction. "Newsweek" and "Los Angeles Times" are his media, but in the face of such crazy "People" magazine, even Andy had to convince himself.

"Kaka Kakaka—"

Little Joseph wearing a white T-shirt and blue trousers lay sideways, lying in a wooden cradle, with his fat little arms in front of him, inherited from his mother ’s twin chun, and opened his sleep with his eyes closed. It is sweet, and there is a doll of nai cow at the foot.

Andy and Ivana, who are also wearing white t-shirts and blue shorts, were on the side of the cradle. From affectionate look, they became Andy with a loving look at the sleeping little Joseph, Ivana I Happy and sweet face looked at Andy. . .

Dog food should not be thrown out. After all, people spent 10 million dollars. With the others taking pictures, Andy still has some professional qualities.

"Kakaka—"

Standing aside, watching the photographer constantly changing the angle and slap the sleeping little Joseph crazy, Andy smiled, but in the heart was constantly voicing, "Shoo, shoot, this kind of injustice is very difficult to find ... "

Although Andy also knows that when "People" magazine is published, both sales and influence will usher in a burst, but he doesn't care, after all, for him, the real benefits have been obtained.

"... Philanthropy will always be my cause. Seriously, I really think that if you live and do nothing to others, your life is meaningless.

This is why I donated the money. The purpose of setting up a charity fund in the name of Joseph Jr. was to pass the value to him, and when he grew up, he would often take him to participate in charity activities so that he could See for yourself what the charity does. . . "

In the luxuriously decorated living room, Andy took Ivana's hand and sat on the sofa, facing the reporter of People Magazine, smiling and talking about his charitable ideas and past charitable achievements.

At this point, Andy thinks that it is necessary for Bill Gates to learn and make charity known to the whole world. Although you can choose to do good things silently, sometimes people do charity. It can't be too low-key.

The "philanthropy" like Bill Gates has become the world's largest charity. Andy, a charity with a real knife and a gun, should make a good publicity.

From time to time, we see that the top wealthy people in the West donated all their property to foundations set up in their own names. These funds are for charitable purposes. They donated assets to the foundation without leaving it to future generations. Many people have come to the conclusion that they are noble. Later, it was pointed out that their approach was to evade the western inheritance tax, and this statement actually only touched on a bit of fur.

The point is, who are the owners of the various foundations?

The ownership of Western privately owned social foundations is not the state, but in the private hands. All foundations are private equity funds. Even if there are foundations that are socially beneficial in name and belong to the whole society, the foundation's constitution and so on are confidential. The actual owner of the foundation is the person who works in the foundation. The creation of these people has their secret procedures, and the rules are determined by the founder. They are neither known to the outside world, nor to the people and the national society. And involved.

The actual result of the rich donating to such a foundation is that the real power of controlling the foundation will always be in the hands of the descendants of these rich families. Tax avoidance is only the most direct superficial benefit. The core benefit is not here at all, but to maintain the long-term control of the rich family. Just like those familiar long-standing families of international riches, such as the Rothschild family, such as mg, such as Rockefeller, this is how it formed!

The foundation is the eternal body that protects these generations of financial families forever.

The greater role of the foundation is also to prevent the heirs from being the kind of son-in-law who loses property, and if the wealth is evenly distributed to the offspring, it will undoubtedly cause more and more descendants to divide the property more and more dispersed. The market competitiveness is greatly reduced.

Therefore, if the Gates Foundation that Warren Buffett joined is actually a close alliance of interests, the interests of the two families have been brought together for a long time. It seems that the public welfare is actually private. This constitution guarantees wealth. But the bottleneck of five bags.

For these foundations, the rules are confidential and the assets are also confidential. Therefore, Andy sometimes feels that his title of the world's richest man is a bit funny, and the rich people who see the rich list are actually upstarts in front of those forces. Moreover, Andy also saw some clues. In the financial crisis, these powerful forces such as foundations severely cut a bo wool.

It is a basic policy to donate taxes in the West, and the social benefits of many donations have replaced the government's behavior. At the same time, this approach is also a key for various forces to participate in politics, because charity and donations require political capital.

Therefore, many charitable acts are one of the rules of the game of political capital of various forces in the West. Many foundations infiltrate education, medical care, social welfare and other aspects through charity to influence the mainstream consciousness of western society and penetrate into all aspects of society. .

When wealth reaches a certain level, money is useless. Although this sentence is very disguised as 13, but it also makes sense.

"The ultimate goal of an enterprise is to return to charity. As an entrepreneur or entrepreneur, we should follow the basic principle of" from the people to the people, "and pass the benefits earned from our consumers through Means of philanthropy, helping those in need again! "Andy talked about his philanthropic ideas.

"So, Mr. Smith, will you join Mr. Gates' charity fund?"

"No, no, Bill has his own philanthropic philosophy, and I have my own philanthropic philosophy, and I'm still young and there are many peaks in life that need to be climbed. You know, I just got on the road. When one day comes, I will Gates did it. "

Andy will not fall into the pit of the chicken thief reporter opposite him. Nima, who is only 25 years old, will donate all of them, unless she is crazy. However, she said to the reporter with a smile: "It ’s so generous in your magazine. For your part, let me give you an exclusive. At the end of this month, I will ask for charitable donation suggestions on ins. I will determine from the responses of netizens several new charitable fields, which will be announced before the end of this year. The slogan for this event is, 'Let's do something for the world!' "
