Chapter 248 Wendy Children's Charity Relief Fund

The next day, the plane stopped in San Jose, California.

While Henry ordered Helen's luggage to be sent home, he took her directly to the hospital to visit the Bosacks and the baby.

The custom of giving gifts to babies in the United States is different from that in China in three points: firstly, the gift is delivered before the baby is born; secondly, the gift is designated by the baby's parents in advance; thirdly, the gift is not directly sent to the baby himself Instead, it was sent to the home of a good friend of the baby's parents.

In addition, Americans have a fixed name for the ceremony of giving gifts to their babies: Baby-Shower (that is, baby shower, which means, bathed in the happiness of blessings and gifts)!

Henry participated in the Baby-Shower prepared by the Bosacks for the baby three months ago. The location was at John Chambers' home. As for the baby's name, it was called Wendy!

At that time, Mrs. Posac was pregnant in July, sitting on the middle chair with a big belly, surrounded by mountains of gifts and a group of relatives and friends! Mrs. Possack opened the gift and read out the greeting card on the gift in front of everyone. The greeting card was filled with words of blessing, and when Mrs. Posac read it, her face was filled with deep happiness...

It was the first time for Henry to participate in such an event, and he felt that the scene was very warm! This is far better than having relatives and friends come to congratulate in batches after the baby is born. Because at that time, what a mother who was overworked with childbirth and child care needed most was rest, and the repeated visits of friends would only increase her exhaustion!

...

Henry and Helen soon came to the hospital where Mrs. Posac gave birth. Because they knew the ward number, there was no need to ask the hospital staff! Five or six minutes later, Henry and Helen saw the Bosac couple and little Wendy!

The faces of the Posacs were full of smiles and happiness. Little Wendy is lying in the cradle, sleeping peacefully!

Henry placed the carnations on the counter by the bedside, and congratulated the couple, "Mr. Posac and Aunt Lerner, congratulations! Oh, look. Little Wendy is so cute and looks like Lena. Auntie Na! In the future, when little Wendy grows up, she will definitely look like Aunt Lerner. She is a big beauty!!"

When Aunt Lerner heard this, she couldn't help laughing, looking very happy.

"Mr. Posac, I'm going to give little Wendy a present!" Henry turned to look at Professor Posac.

Lerner then interjected. Said: "Last time Baby-Shower, didn't you give us a music box?"

"Hehe, yes, I gave a gift! But who stipulates that only the first gift can be given?" Henry smiled and said. "That's it. I have a children's charity fund set up in Wendy's name to help children in need!"

Henry looked at them and said, "The more people the Wendy Children's Charity Relief Fund helps, the better for little Wendy, right?" After a pause, Henry asked, "Mr. Posac and Aunt Lerner, I am now Would you refuse to give the Wendy's Children's Charity Relief Fund to you as a gift?"

How could the Posacs refuse to hear this? Immediately agreed.

After they agreed, they asked how much money Wendy Children's Charity Relief Fund currently had on its books. Henry told them, one hundred million dollars!

When the Bosac couple heard this, although they were also rich, they were still slightly shocked!

Professor Posac said: "Henry, I thank you for Wendy, oh no... it should be for the children who are about to be rescued!"

"You're welcome, I should have done it! There are also many poor children in places as developed as the United States, not to mention those backward and poor countries. As far as I know, more than 4 million people die of hunger in Africa every year. Diseases And there are not a few people who died!!! One hundred million dollars is not much at all, maybe it won't take many years, I will let people develop Africa, so that they can get rid of poverty and become rich! There is a Chinese saying, teach people It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish!

"Currently, the most pitiful are those African children. If the family can't support them, they will throw them away, and even hurt them! Global Online's reporters in Africa once sent back several pictures of African children, no matter who saw them. After that, I will be saddened and cry... Oh, that skinny appearance, there is only one bone frame left, and looking back now, the impression is still very deep!" Henry said, his voice choked.

After listening to Henry's words, the Bosacs couldn't help but fall silent. After a while, Professor Bosac flashed a firmness in his eyes, and then said to Henry: "Henry, Cisco's development is now on the right track. I plan to quit Cisco and specialize in philanthropy in the future!!!" After speaking, Bosak looked at his wife.

At this time, Lerner smiled at her husband Posac: "Oh, it seems that we coincide, and I think so too!" Then, Lerner looked at Henry and said, "Henry, in the future, the two of us will quit. Cisco, instead, focus on managing the Wendy Children's Charity Relief Fund! There are so many miserable children around the world, they may be looking forward to God's helping hand at this moment to save them, although we are not God, but we can give them a little Silk warmth and hope! I think doing charity is an urgent matter and a great job, and we would love it very much!”

Henry couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this. He didn't know what to say. Should he persuade them to stay at Cisco or encourage them to do charity? Henry was silent for a while, Cisco could do without them, but those children who suffered in hardships needed them. What the Bosacks wanted to do was to do good deeds, and they should encourage them! ! !

"Oh, what else can I say... I think, no matter what I say, I can't stop you! At this moment, I should admire you and support you! Teacher Posac and Aunt Lerner, you can do charity with confidence. Well, Cisco, with me here, won't let it go down!"

The Bosacs looked at each other and nodded.

At present, the Posacs hold 4% of Cisco's shares, and the annual dividends are more than 60 million US dollars. In addition to their previous savings, and they have cashed out some shares, their deposits are at least one billion US dollars. This amount of money is enough for them to do charitable causes for a long time. In addition, charitable funds can also be used for investment. It works well and can make a lot of money every year!

When Henry finally left, he reminded them: "If you are short of money for charity, come to me, don't sell the shares of Cisco for the time being! If you want to sell, you have to wait until the stock price rises to the highest point before selling it! Huh? At least four years have passed..."

The emergence of Henry will inevitably lead to the advance of the Internet bubble, and it may not have to wait until 2000, the Internet bubble will occur. Henry predicts that between 1996 and 1999, once Clinton is elected president of the United States, Henry will start to pay attention, always aware of the trend of the stock market, and if there is any sign, he will cash out in advance.

The Bosac couple thought for a while, and out of trust in Henry, they nodded and replied, "Okay!"
