Chapter: 4225

Feng Haoyang hurriedly said: "There's no need to donate too much this time. From the day our charity fund is established, all funds will be borne by me personally for half of it, and the remaining half will be publicly raised. That means I'll personally pledge two million US dollars, and society can raise another two million US dollars to officially launch the fund."

Lu Siyuan nodded: "No problem. With over 200 members of our Chinese Chamber of Commerce, raising two million is a cinch!"

As he finished speaking, Lu Siyuan immediately asked: "Mr. Feng, when do you plan to hold this charity gala?"

"I'll make sure it's on November 11th, at the Grand Ballroom of the New York Wangfu Hotel. Although this charity gala will require some staff to help with preparations, we can consider it as a joint effort between us."

The New York Wangfu Hotel is one of our family's luxury five-star hotel brands, with over 300 locations worldwide, offering unique Chinese-style hospitality in multiple countries.

I chose the venue at my own hotel for added convenience.

Although I know that if Autumn Yiyi really goes missing at my own hotel, it will definitely generate a lot of negative news. However, I don't care about this point at all.

On one hand, the negative news about the hotel is insignificant compared to Autumn Yiyi's disappearance.

On the other hand, I'm aware that consumer attention span is extremely short-lived, and any commercial brand's negative news typically only lasts for a month or less.

In the past, many hotels experienced a decline in business due to negligence, resulting in accidents involving guests, even fatalities. However, after just one month, their reputation and business would recover to pre-incident levels.

Lu Siyuan heard the date of November 11th and suddenly felt hesitant, looking at Feng Haoyang with some difficulty before asking tentatively: "Mr. Feng, our chamber of commerce has been quite busy lately... wouldn't it be better to postpone it until the 15th?"

The 15th?" Feng Haoyang heard this timing point and immediately understood that it was the date for Autumn Yiyi's concert in New York.

However, he pretended not to understand and asked: "President Lu, why wait until the 15th? There are still half a month left. It won't take that long to prepare for a gala, will it?"

Lu Siyuan explained busily: "Mr. Feng, you're unaware that our chamber of commerce has recently made a cooperation arrangement with a renowned Chinese singer, Ms. Autumn Yiyi. She's going to hold her concert in New York on the 15th."

As he spoke, Lu Siyuan looked at Feng Haoyang and asked him: "Mr. Feng, have you heard about Ms. Autumn Yiyi?"

Feng Haoyang pretended to be nonchalant: "I've heard of her. I've listened to some of her songs, though I'm not exactly a fan. But I do appreciate her talent."

Lu Siyuan nodded and continued: "Ms. Autumn Yiyi is going to hold the first show of her North American tour in New York on the 15th. Have you heard about this?"

Feng Haoyang shook his head: "I didn't know about it. I think I remember someone mentioning that she's starting her tour from Canada first, though."

Lu Siyuan explained: "Her performance schedule has changed. She used to start in Canada, but now it's New York instead."

As he spoke, Lu Siyuan continued: "Ms. Autumn Yiyi's local publicity and commercial cooperation for this show are all handled by our chamber of commerce. Her fame is extremely high, so many brands, companies, including some non-profit organizations, are all clamoring to talk to us about cooperation. To be honest, I have at least 20 meetings scheduled for the next week alone, not to mention other people's schedules are just as busy. You're saying that we need to get ready for the charity gala by the evening of the 11th, which is quite impossible..."

Feng Haoyang smiled slightly and thought to himself: everything was going according to Xiao Fei Cloud's plan; the key to success or failure lay with Lu Siyuan.

So, it was time for him to "feed" Lu Siyuan!

He looked at Lu Siyuan seriously: "President Lu, I know you're busy as can be and handling multiple tasks simultaneously, but I still hope you can help me get this charity gala off the ground on schedule. If we can make this charity gala a success, I, Feng Haoyang, will represent the Feng family and officially join the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce. If the Feng family has suitable resources in the future, I'll definitely reach out to you first."

Lu Siyuan's entire being was electrified upon hearing Feng Haoyang's words. It would be a tremendous feat if he could lure the Feng family into the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, once the Feng family officially joined the chamber, its influence and reputation would far surpass those of other chambers. Lu Siyuan was now troubled, wondering how to persuade the other two co-equal CEOs to compete for the first presidency of the All-American Chinese Chamber of Commerce after the merger. JrNovels.com
