Accidentally Became a Philanthropist
"A sky-high price auction! The most expensive gemstone in history!"
For the next few days, a piece of news like this occupied the headlines of all major newspapers.
A sapphire auctioned off for 300 million was already an extremely shocking thing, especially when the person who bought it was Ye Nanfeng.
Ye Nanfeng had a certain level of fame around the world because he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Economics at the age of 20. In addition, this was a charity auction organized by the famous collector Daniel after his death. The two events combined were very eye-catching.
There were already a lot of people who were paying close attention to this charity auction. Although the " Brilliant Star " was very precious, the price of 300 million was a little ridiculous.
Many people were skeptical about this matter, but the facts were there and could not be faked. On the contrary, the discussion on the Internet was very enthusiastic.
"Oh my god! A broken stone sold for 300 million, was this world crazy?”
"I can only say that we don't understand the world of the rich. No matter how beautiful a gem is, it's still a pile of carbon molecules. Is it really worth spending 300 million yuan?”
"The wine and meat of the vermilion gate stink, and the road is frozen to death! How many people could be saved with this 300 million yuan? But he used it to buy a piece of broken stone! To think that he was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics! Was this in line with economics? The value is completely unequal!"
"I'm laughing when I see this. Brother, this is a f * cking charity auction. All the money from the auction will be donated to the International Charity Foundation. However, let's not talk about this first. No matter how much money others spend on gems, they still earn it. How they spend it has nothing to do with you?”
"I agree. All of you are acting like keyboard warriors and saints on the internet. Why don't I see you donating things or doing volunteer work to help people?”
"In a charity auction, the more money you get, the better. Why are you all being so sour? They're using another way to do charity. Can't you tell?”
"I thought Ye Nanfeng's real purpose was to do charity and buying gems was just a side effect.”
" A gemstone is auctioned for 300 million yuan. With Ye Nanfeng's wisdom as a Nobel Prize in Economics candidate, would he make such a stupid investment? Obviously not! Therefore, there was only one answer. He was doing charity, and he was doing it in a very low-key manner!”
"Now that you mention it…it seems like it's true. Not only did he buy something, but he also did charity. Most importantly, he didn't lose any reputation.”
……
Because the auction price of " Brilliant Star " was too high, many netizens thought that Ye Nanfeng's reason for bidding for the gem was not as simple as liking the gem. They had come up with other reasons.
The reason for keeping a low profile and doing charity was recognized by most people.
After all, this was a charity auction, and all the money from the auction would be donated. It was reasonable to say that Ye Nanfeng was doing charity through this method.
As the rumor spread on the internet, more and more people knew about it. They all admired Ye Nanfeng, and some media even praised him…
This was also an unexpected surprise.
……
"Since when did I want to do charity?”
At the St. Regis Hotel in New York, Ye Nanfeng looked at the New York Times 'most praised article with a strange expression and muttered in confusion.
He only wanted to bid for " Brilliant Stars." 300 million yuan was no different from three yuan in his eyes. How could it be interpreted as charity? He had to admit that the netizens 'comprehension ability was really strong.
Just like those famous books, any sentence or word in the book could be analyzed into a bunch of great principles.
Although he was puzzled, this was a good thing. Wasn't it good for others to praise you?
"Dong dong dong-"
There was a light knock on the door. Ye Nanfeng had just put down the newspaper in his hand and got up to open the door. It was Li Rongchuan outside.
He walked in and looked at Ye Nanfeng with a strange expression. In the end, he couldn't help but laugh and said,""I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be a hidden philanthropist. Helping others in this way is indeed a role model for my generation.”
Naturally, Li Rongchuan did not believe the comments on the Internet. He was with Ye Nanfeng that day and knew that Ye Nanfeng only wanted to bid for " Brilliant Stars ". He was just taking the opportunity to tease him.
"I didn't know I was so great.”
Ye Nanfeng rubbed his nose." President Li, you came at a bad time. I was just about to go out and take a walk on the streets of New York.”
Ye Nanfeng had long yearned for the prosperity of New York, the capital of the era. Now that the auction was over, it would be a waste if he didn't take this opportunity to go shopping.
"Do you need me to find a guide for you?" asked Li Rongchuan.”
Ye Nanfeng said nonchalantly," Forget it. I'll just walk around alone. I've passed Grade 8 in English. I can't get lost."”
In order to write those ten great economics papers, he had specially taught himself English. He was no different from a proper American native.
After chatting for a while, Ye Nanfeng changed his clothes and left the St. Regis Hotel. He took a taxi to Times Square.
Times Square in New York was known as the crossroad of the world. It was also one of the most prosperous areas in the world. Entertainment, food, and luxury goods were all available here. It was a shopping paradise.
Every luxury brand could be seen here, and there were thousands of stores for you to choose from. Of course, the prerequisite was that you had to have money.
Times Square was actually a large commercial street. The flow of people here was very large. The lights were red, the wine was green, and the traffic was heavy. It was filled with a luxurious atmosphere.
Ye Nanfeng casually walked on the street, looking at the luxury stores one by one, but he still couldn't find what he wanted to buy.
Along the way, many beautiful women and even rich women were attracted by his outstanding appearance and temperament. They took the initiative to ask for his contact information, but they were all rejected by him.
Just as Ye Nanfeng's gaze was attracted to a watch shop by the roadside, he felt someone bump into him. He felt a warmth in his chest and subconsciously looked down.
A blonde girl accidentally bumped into him and spilled the coffee in her hand on his clothes.
