Chapter 839 ? Attitude Change
When he heard the words of Li Zhengkai and Mr. Li, the wife Li and her son and daughter-in-law were sitting there, their faces changed drastically.
One hundred million US dollars!
That's $100 million!
Not a small number.
What is the concept of $100 million?
For Li Xingxing, it means that it is a little lower than the country's foreign exchange reserves and is one-quarter of Li Zhengkai's net assets.
She herself had never expected Li Zhengkai to make such a bold statement at that time. She really just hoped to raise a little money from Li Zhengkai to import food to help the people.
Even if it is hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, it can import hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain.
Because Li Zhengkai said that he wanted to donate 100 million US dollars to buy food, Li Xingxing clearly felt the change in the attitude of the Li family.
Old Mrs. Li was born in the late Qing Dynasty and had a gentle temperament. She always regarded her husband as the best. When the old man said yes, she nodded, but Mrs. Li, four sons, and three daughters-in-law could no longer hold back the smiles on her faces.
When I looked at Li Xingxing and Xia Mingxing again, there was no warmth in my eyes.
The enthusiasm before was as if it was a flash in the pan.
"Let me see if the afternoon tea is ready." Mrs. Li stood up and called her daughter-in-law.
The four sons were inconvenient to leave, so they sat down expressionlessly.
Li Xingxing was restless, sighed in his heart, and said to Li Zhengkai: "Uncle, the amount of 100 million US dollars is too large. That's countless money. Anyone who takes it out will find it very difficult. If you don't say it, I know. Now with the actions of grandparents, we should easily raise a large amount of food. Returning to China is an explanation. If you want to regret it, I will explain the situation to Comrade Qi personally after returning to China. Fortunately, we did not tell this matter."
Qi Lin has a calm personality. Although he received Li Zhengkai's promise, he knew very well that the amount of 100 million US dollars was huge and it was easy to disturb everyone, so it would not count if he didn't get it and should not announce it to the outside world.
There are precedents of breach of contracts between countries, not to mention a $100 million charity.
Repentance is also a common human nature.
Before Li Zhengkai could speak, Mr. Li glared and said, "Nonsense! When doing business, it is important to be honest. You must do it when you say it. One word is worth a thousand gold, and a gentleman's word is hard to pursue. All these words are passed down by our ancestors. Since Zhengkai promised to donate 100 million US dollars, he had to take it out even if he borrowed it from all over the world. It is a glorious thing to contribute to the country and he must not regret it!"
Li Zhengkai smiled and said, "Dad, I don't plan to regret it."
"That's fine." The old man turned anger into joy, glanced at the four grandchildren with a sharp look, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what you think, your father is the head of the family, he has many assets passed on to him by me, I agree with his behavior, you have no qualifications to object! Our roots are in China, and we went abroad to avoid war, but after the founding of the country, we remained abroad due to international environment and domestic policy reasons. This does not mean that we will never go back. Donating such money is on the surface that we have paid a lot of wealth, but in fact we are leaving good fate to you descendants!"
He said earnestly: "The country is now a planned economy. That's because of the lack of materials. But sooner or later, it will be transformed into a free economy. When we return to China to do business, we will definitely receive preferential treatment. There will be a door of convenience to open to us. Invest in all walks of life. We will definitely consider us patriots first. Do you understand?"
