Chapter 339 Double Yolk Egg (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
What is it like to be invited to a gathering of the wealthy?
Qi Hao was very surprised to receive the invitation to the Babi dinner.

"B" refers to Warren Buffett, the "Oracle of Omaha." His father, Howard Buffett, was a stockbroker with his own brokerage firm and a member of Congress.

"B" refers to Bill Gates, the world's richest man, whose full name is William Henry Gates III.

His father, William Henry Gates II, was a lawyer and philanthropist who co-founded the law firm "Gree Gates," one of the world's largest law firms.

Neither of them truly started from scratch.

Their trip to China was mainly at the invitation of Yang Lan and the "Sunshine Culture Foundation" to hold a charity gala.

Yang Lan used to be a CCTV host.

She stated that marriage has nothing to do with women's happiness, which drew criticism from netizens. Comments included, "If it has nothing to do with happiness, why are you married twice? You eat the meat but forbid others from even having soup. Aren't you the one who's hooked up with a rich man? Do you enjoy being pinned down by a 200-pound fat man?"

In addition, she had dumped her ex-husband before marrying her current husband, which constitutes adultery during her marriage.

This image of an independent woman has been completely shattered.

She somehow managed to invite Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to her "Sunshine Culture Foundation".

Some people question whether Buffett's visit to China was truly for philanthropy.

A hint of "business" can be gleaned from Buffett's schedule: from Shenzhen to the capital and then to Changsha, Buffett, as a shareholder of the private enterprise BYD, will successively participate in a series of events such as "BYD's 100 millionth vehicle sales celebration", "BYD's new car launch", and "BYD's signing with China Southern Power Grid".

Since arriving in China, it's been like "BYD is everywhere every day".

On one side is the "stock god", and on the other side is "speculation". This is how "stock speculation" was born: stimulated by the Buffett "effect", BYD's stock price rose by more than 4% on the first day.

No wonder, Buffett's dinner parties aren't exactly delicious.

He was the first to auction off the opportunity to have a meal with someone as a commodity.

Duan Yongping won the bid for a dinner with Buffett in 2006 with a bid of $62.01.

Zhao Danyang won the bid in 2008 for US$211 million.

This guy is quite interesting; he even lacks some martial ethics.

He made a significant purchase of a stock before having lunch with Buffett.

At the luncheon, the stock market guru didn't ask Buffett for any wealth secrets. Instead, he kept recommending a particular stock to Buffett. Out of politeness, Buffett gave a few perfunctory replies and said he would keep an eye on the stock.

After the dinner, this guy immediately revealed the stock to the media, saying that Warren Buffett was very optimistic about it. The stock price soared by 24% in four consecutive trading days, and the guy made 1.3 million and made a graceful exit.

Some people say that meeting or having dinner with Buffett doesn't mean anything.

This is more about the recognition of values, the pilgrimage of spiritual ideals, and the gathering with textbook figures.

Qi Hao, this "little Buffett," wasn't interested.

pilgrimage?

Nonsence!

Despite how loyal Brother Tongzi was to Qi Hao, enabling him to amass a fortune of billions from nothing, Qi Hao still kept calling him a dog system.

If you really want to make a pilgrimage, the pilgrimage system is much more useful than making a pilgrimage to Warren Buffett.

Fortunately, the meal is free this time. As long as you get the invitation, you can bring your wife to attend.

The Babi dinner is expected to invite 50 wealthy Chinese.

Therefore, invitations were widely issued to those who dared to challenge them.

If we use the top 50 of the rich list as the cutoff, Qi Hao wouldn't be included. This year's Forbes China Rich List lists the 50th richest person with a fortune of 120 billion yuan.

Moreover, Qi Hao is a reclusive tycoon whose assets are not publicly disclosed, so no one knows exactly how much money he has.

Receiving this invitation is quite puzzling.

It's unclear whether Buffett heard about his reputation as "Little Buffett" or whether it was because they were both shareholders of BYD and BYD mentioned him.

This invitation is too hot to handle.

In recent days, the media has been reporting on celebrities who have remained silent and unresponsive, or business tycoons who are too busy to respond.

Suddenly, the grand event, which should have been a gathering of the wealthy, seemed somewhat awkward.

This is probably because these two world-class billionaires don't quite understand Chinese customs: if you announce it so publicly first, it will be inappropriate for me to go there and donate or not.

Imagine, even if you donate, it feels like you're forced to do so. You get lectured about being a penny-pincher, and you feel humiliated even after you've paid the money.

Refusing would be even more inappropriate, as it would seem like they're afraid of receiving donations.

Besides, everyone present was a top billionaire, and the amount of their donations would be compared by others.

This commotion will make even those who don't care about money care about saving face, especially since these are people of status, where sometimes face is more important than money.

There are even rumors that the purpose of the two wealthy American and German tycoons' visit to China was to persuade wealthy Chinese to make a donation of all their wealth.

Then even fewer people would want to join in the fun.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

Chen Guangbiao is one example.

He issued a public letter stating his willingness to donate all his wealth to charity upon his death.

This is even more embarrassing.

He has donated all his assets, so how can others follow suit?

This is impossible to follow.

Qi Hao donates money whenever he needs it, and he has donated tens of millions of yuan this year. However, he is very reluctant to donate all of the money.

In reality, Migo's act of donating all his assets was nothing more than a workaround for not being able to pay the high inheritance tax and for corporate tax avoidance.

They donate money to specific organizations.

I set up a charitable foundation and donated all my money to it, which I then passed down to my descendants to manage. This is how Warren Buffett pledged to give away all his wealth in 2006.

He stated that he would donate 85% of his personal assets, approximately $375 billion, to five charitable foundations: four foundations managed by his ex-wife Susan and their three children, as well as the Gates Foundation.

He and Bill Gates donated money to each other.

The money inside was actually inherited.

However, public intellectuals don't analyze the high inheritance tax involved; they only praise the American tycoons for their supposed humanitarianism.

In fact, these so-called philanthropists who rely on reaping the benefits of the entire world and creating a mass of poor people are truly laughable.

They earn the most money in the world, yet their minds are preoccupied with tax avoidance.

Of course, the same applies to wealthy people in China.

Even billionaires with assets of tens of billions are exploiting the working class who earn a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan.

And this monthly salary is subject to tax.

It was automatically deducted before the check-in was even completed.

There is no concept of inheritance tax in China, which allows the wealthy to pass on their assets to the next generation without any loss.

All Qi Hao can do is honestly pay taxes, continuously expand the company's scale, and provide more people with well-paying jobs.

He threw the invitation in the trash and chose to go to Changchun to attend the film festival.

On the 28th, the 10th Changchun Film Festival Awards Ceremony was held at the Changchun Wuhuan Gymnasium.

The organizers did not expect Qi Hao to participate.

Under the Matthew effect, where the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker, the Changchun Film Festival is the kind of film festival that attracts fewer and fewer big names.

Many of the nominated actors did not attend the event.

For example, Wang Xueqi, who was nominated for Best Actor and had a high chance of winning, did not attend.

It is said that the notification was inadequate; Wang Xueqi did not receive the notification in advance, so he did not set aside any time for the event.

This reveals many elements of predetermined awards.

Because Zhao Yanzi was embroiled in a scandal, Zhou Xun, who was nominated to replace Zhao Yanzi, also did not attend.

She never thought much of the award, let alone that it was Zhao Yanzi's.

Okay, if Zhao Yanzi doesn't want it, then it's my turn?
Zhou Xun clearly looked down on Zhao Yanzi.

An Feng also attended the event with Qi Hao, and she was invited to present the Best Director award.

This is also a rather rigid aspect of film festivals.

If you arrange for An Feng to present the Best Actor award to Qi Hao, even if Qi Hao doesn't win, it would still be a huge gimmick.

Qi Hao walked the red carpet together with Tan Nao, Han Jie, and An Feng; they are all key members of the "Hello! Mr. Tree" creative team.

Although An Feng's appearance was somewhat of a guest role, she could still walk the red carpet and dazzle the audience. As long as she wanted to, no one would object to her actions.

Not long after the film festival began, Qi Hao was shocked.

The Best Newcomer Award went to Jia Yun, an actor from "The First Military Regulation," and Zhao Xiao'ou and Zhao Xiaoxi, actors from "A Girl Fell From the Sky."

Fortunately, an explanation came quickly.

Jia Yun won the Best New Actor award, while Zhao Xiao'ou and Zhao Xiaoxi won the Best New Director award; both of them were directors of "A Girl Fell From the Sky".

However, the soon-to-arrive Best Cinematography award once again sounded the alarm for a tie.

The award was won by Wong Yue-tai (Bodyguards and Assassins) and Leung Ming (Who Rules the World).

Three-yolk eggs, double-yolk eggs...

Qi Hao sighed inwardly; no wonder so few people came to this awards ceremony.

Your popularity is already at this low level, and you're still playing the double-yolk game? Doesn't that further dilute the value of the award?

However, precisely because the film festival was so quiet, they arranged for attendees to take home an award as a reward.

It's already a vicious cycle.

In addition to being nominated for Best Actor for "Hello! Mr. Tree", Qi Hao was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "Bodyguards and Assassins".

But when Sun Haiying won Best Supporting Actor for "The College Entrance Examination 1977", Qi Hao knew that his Best Actor award was a sure thing.

With such a high-profile figure like him attending the event, he absolutely had to be given an award.

As expected, the Best Actress award went to Kara Hui and Zhou Xun, and after another tie, Qi Hao and Zhang Jiahui jointly won the Best Actor award.

Double yolk eggs +2!

Refusing to accept it is impossible. Even if the gold content is insufficient and the number of additional shares is not large, there will still be some increase.

Moreover, Qi Hao could understand the difficulties faced by the organizers.

He always values ​​harmony and rarely clashes with the organizers unless they go too far.

Now that we're powerful, there's no need for us to bully others.

An Feng and Raymond Wong presented the Best Director award together, awarding it to Haschulu, the director of "Meng Erdong"...

There's also Han Jie, the director of "Hello! Mr. Tree".

Goodness, only 12 awards were given out, and five of them were tie winners.

Why don't you hatch another one and make it half?

It would be better to add more awards, increasing the number from 12 to 24, so that there wouldn't be so many double-yolk awards.
