Chapter: 4224
Just as he was eagerly waiting for Ou Qiu's return to the US, he didn't expect Feng Haoyang, the young master of the Feng family, to suddenly seek him out.
In the United States, there are two major Chinese families, both of which are coveted by all Chinese business associations. Apart from the world-renowned An family, the other is the Feng family.
Although the Feng family's power may not be as great as the An family's, they still surpass many other Chinese families in North America. The An family doesn't deign to join such organizations, so the Feng family has also learned to play a similar game of pride and humility.
Previously, Lu Siyuan had tried several times to ask Feng Haoyang's father, Feng Xuebin, to have lunch with him, but Feng Xuebin never gave him that face.
Now that Feng Haoyang is taking the initiative, Lu Siyuan naturally is thrilled beyond words, and invites the young Feng Haoyang to his office with great respect and deference.
As soon as they enter the office, he warmly says, "Hey, I don't know why Mr. Feng would come uninvited today, but I'm really sorry! It's an honor that Mr. Feng would deign to visit our New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce!"
He then introduces himself: "Mr. Feng, I am Lu Siyuan, the chairman of the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce."
Feng Haoyang is greatly pleased by this kind of flattery and smiles slightly before speaking: "Chairman Lu, I've heard that our New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce is the largest in the US. That's probably due to Chairman Lu's exceptional abilities!"
Lu Siyuan quickly retorts: "Ah, Mr. Feng is being too flattering... Our chamber has a history of over 50 years, and it's thanks to all the previous chairmen that we've been able to achieve our current successes."
As he speaks, Lu Siyuan asks carefully: "Mr. Feng, didn't you come today for something in particular?"
Feng Haoyang smiles slightly and says, "I came to find you, wanting to collaborate with your New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce. If it's a pleasant cooperation, I can consider representing Feng Family and formally joining your chamber!"
Feng Haoyang speaks lightly, and what he says is like thunder in Lu Siyuan's ears, with no room for doubt.
There isn't any Chinese chamber of commerce in the United States that can invite a family as massive as Feng Family.
After all, many organizations consider Feng Family's assets to be possibly more than the total assets of all their members combined. In such a case, Feng Family naturally wouldn't want to play with them.
The difference is like an billionaire who cannot join a club where each member has only a few hundred thousand in assets.
But Feng Haoyang takes the initiative to visit and expresses his willingness to join the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which leaves Lu Siyuan extremely thrilled.
Therefore, he quickly asks with great respect: "Mr. Feng, I don't know what kind of cooperation you want to have with us? Rest assured that as long as you give me one word, the entire New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce will do its best for you!"
Feng Haoyang nods slightly and says with a smile: "I'm thinking of collaborating with you on some charitable projects."
"Charity?" Lu Siyuan exclaimed, astonished. "Mr. Feng, you... you want to do charity? What kind of charity are you thinking of? Do we need to cooperate in any way?"
Feng Haoyang said with a serious face: "I'm planning to establish a North American Chinese Orphan Fund, and put up some money to help our North American Chinese orphans, providing them with better assistance, ensuring their lives and education."
"Aiya!" Lu Siyuan exclaimed. "Mr. Feng, this is an incredibly good deed! Although there aren't many Chinese orphans in North America, once they're orphaned, the situation is even harder than that of domestic orphans. If we establish a charity fund specifically for them, it would be very meaningful to them!"
As he spoke, Lu Siyuan quickly asked: "Mr. Feng, how do we need to cooperate with this?"
Feng Haoyang said sternly: "My idea is to organize a charity gala, inviting some Chinese entrepreneurs in New York, and then everyone can donate some money together. At that time, our charity fund will be officially established. After all, we're helping Chinese orphans, and Americans themselves can't even take care of their own orphans. Who could sincerely help ours? This is something where Chinese people need to help each other! So I thought of your Chinese Chamber of Commerce."
As he spoke, Feng Haoyang continued: "Of course, this charity fund will be my personal commitment. I'll prepare a starting capital of two million US dollars in advance and then see if our fellow chamber members can also make some contributions."
Lu Siyuan didn't hesitate to say: "Mr. Feng, you can rest assured that we won't hesitate to cooperate. Later, I'll mobilize the association's members and encourage everyone to donate as much as possible!" JrNovels.com
