Chapter 92

"Clap, clap, clap"

As soon as Wang Zixuan finished speaking, the hall erupted into enthusiastic applause.

Money, love, and freedom.

Wang Zixuan wasn't just talking; he was truly doing it.

When the applause subsided, the host called on a domestic journalist.

"We all know that an effective treatment for leukemia is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. May I ask if the Positive Energy Foundation plans to establish a bone marrow bank and use Mr. Wang Zixuan's influence to call on people to donate hematopoietic stem cells?"

Wang Zixuan shook his head and said, "The Positive Energy Foundation currently has no plans to establish a bone marrow bank. We will conduct follow-up investigations on hematopoietic stem cell donors. Before confirming that donating hematopoietic stem cells will not have adverse effects on the donors, I will not use my influence to call on people to donate. While saving lives, we must also avoid creating new victims."

The host then called on a few more journalists, who asked relatively mild questions, and Wang Zixuan answered each one.

It wasn't until a journalist from the Daily Telegraph stood up and posed a sharp question.

"The poorest region in the world is Africa. Why doesn't the Positive Energy Foundation, like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, focus its aid efforts on Africa? Are you a racist?"

Wang Zixuan, hearing this impolite question, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "As is well known, our country has a deep friendship with Africa. During the Haiti earthquake, the Positive Energy Foundation donated ten million dollars. I wonder how much the UK donated? Can someone help me check?"

A domestic journalist, holding a notebook to relay information about the press conference, immediately found the relevant information and loudly said, "The UK government donated 6.2 million pounds, which is equivalent to 9.3 million dollars."

"Thank you."

Wang Zixuan nodded with a smile and then looked at the British journalist, saying, "The Positive Energy Foundation has not donated less than the UK government. I also have a counter-question: are the charitable funds in your country more focused on domestic aid or aid to Africa?"

Hearing Wang Zixuan's counter-question, the Daily Telegraph journalist immediately blushed and lowered his head.

Wang Zixuan continued, "As a saying in the hedge fund industry goes, hedge funds are borderless, but hedge fund managers have a homeland. The same applies to charity. Charity is borderless, but philanthropists have a homeland. Every philanthropist, when doing charity work, inevitably leans towards their own country. How can someone who doesn't love their own country talk about loving the world?"

"Clap, clap, clap"

Wang Zixuan's words immediately earned applause from the domestic journalists.

The leaders present also nodded in approval of Wang Zixuan's words and actions.

This is a young man with a clear understanding of major issues and a true patriot.

Other entrepreneurs, once their companies are well-established, often move their company registrations abroad to avoid taxes, but Wang Zixuan has moved the headquarters of the companies he acquired abroad back to the country.

This is his attitude, and it is also the reason why the domestic leaders turn a blind eye to Wang Zixuan's eccentricities.

The American journalist seemed dissatisfied with Wang Zixuan becoming the most prominent figure in the world. When the New York Times journalist got the chance to ask a question, he immediately said, "Will you, like Bill Gates, make a pledge to give away all your wealth?"

Wang Zixuan shook his head and said, "No, I do not agree with Bill Gates' philanthropic philosophy, and like many others, I have some doubts about his philanthropy. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation uses more funds for investment rather than charity, which is making people doubt the purpose of philanthropy. There are too many people in the world who need help, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation should allocate more funds for charity, not investment.

Bill Gates does not leave a large fortune to his children, nor does he need to leave a large fortune to future generations. Without Bill Gates, there would still be a Wang Zixuan. Without Wang Zixuan, there would still be others. This planet will never lack wealthy and benevolent people. We don't need to worry that without Bill Gates or Wang Zixuan, the world will become worse.

Human society is always moving forward, and government systems in various countries will become more and more perfect. Perhaps one day, there will be no need for charitable foundations."

At this point, Wang Zixuan paused and nodded to the interpreter.

The interpreter immediately began translating.

Speaking of Bill Gates, Wang Zixuan recalled the time when Bill Gates and Warren Buffett came to China to persuade the wealthy to donate, which was widely publicized by the media. Many wealthy individuals chose not to attend the banquet and were criticized by many foreign media outlets.

It cannot be denied that there are relatively fewer wealthy individuals in China who engage in charity, but the situation is not much better abroad.

After the interpreter finished, Wang Zixuan, with a harmless smile, said, "In a while, I will go to the United States to host a banquet and invite philanthropists like Bill Gates to discuss increasing the proportion of funds used for charity.

There are too many people in the world who need help. We should not coldly watch people die before our eyes while talking about how many people we will help in the future.

The future is something the government should consider, not something charitable foundations should worry about.

Governments around the world should also strengthen the supervision of charitable foundations to prevent them from becoming a means for some wealthy individuals to transfer assets and evade taxes."

When the interpreter finished, the hall immediately erupted into enthusiastic applause.

Especially the domestic journalists, who clapped even harder.

It was so satisfying.

Just because you have a Bill Gates, you think the whole world is backward and selfish.

Now we have a Wang Zixuan, who is even more benevolent and kind. Let's see how your Bill Gates responds.

If Bill Gates says he still needs to consider the future, we can doubt whether he is really doing charity and why he doesn't save people now.

If Bill Gates increases the proportion of funds used for charity, it will be in response to Wang Zixuan's call.

From today on, the world's top philanthropist will definitely be Wang Zixuan.

Wang Zixuan's speech also earned the respect of journalists from developing countries.

Their countries have too many people who need help. If global charitable foundations increase the proportion of funds used, they will be the beneficiaries.

Journalists from other developed countries were also happy to see the clash between Wang Zixuan and Bill Gates.

This is a clash between two former world billionaires, a clash of two philanthropic philosophies, and even a clash of two cultures.

There is no shortage of news these days.

When the journalists' applause subsided, Wang Zixuan said, "That's all for today's press conference. Thank you all for coming. It is because of your hard work that positive energy can spread further. Thank you all again for coming, goodbye."

After saying this, he stood up, smiled charmingly, and elegantly waved to the journalists as he walked out.

(Thank you to the book friends "Xiao Ming Biao Shi Bu Fu" for the 588 and 500 donations, "Nan Yi Shi Huai" for the 588 donation, "Lai Xiao Yi" and "Xiao Pang 001" for the 200 donations, and "Shu You 141226015256228" and "Lao Ka Da Shi Fen" for the 100 donations.)
