Jing Chu Network news (Chu Tian Metropolis Daily) According to the "Beijing newspaper" reported two world-class billionaires, Bill Gates, Buffett will come to China on September 29, and invited 50 rich Chinese to participate in a "Charity dinner."  Because the two people in the United States fundraising success, the Gates and Warren Buffett's trip to China, is also a "persuade China's rich to participate in charitable donations," the veil. September 2, in a charity forum, Ye Lei, director of the Bill and Melinda Melinda Foundation China Project, said for the first time that "Gates and Warren Buffett originally intended to organize a charity-related gathering only during their other business trips to China, and did not intend to persuade wealthy Chinese to make charitable donations, nor do they want to do so in the United States. , mobilizing the rich to commit to wealth donation. "Gates to the banquet to persuade to donate?" Will send a handwritten note that does not advise the rich charity "Banquet" will be in a luxury hotel in Beijing. At that time, about 50 wealthy Chinese were invited to attend.  Ye Lei revealed that although the dinner was not directly related to the Bill and Melinda Melinda Foundation's China Project area, they would be prepared for the event in China. Ye lei says not every rich person is comfortable with the "Bobby" invitation.  After receiving the invitation, many of the invited millionaires will repeatedly confirm whether they will be "advised" at the dinner, and even a small number of people are refusing to attend the dinner.  To rule out the misunderstanding of the rich, ye Lei said Gates and Warren Buffett will send a handwritten letter as soon as possible to show that the event is only to make friends, to find partners, not to the Chinese rich people to bring the burden of donations. Ye Lei revealed that "Bobby" two people come to China, although not to collect money, but also with the task to come. One task is to advocate for charitable ideas, especially for the rich. Another task is to understand the state of China's charitable development. "Learn about the people in China who are more experienced in philanthropy and their views on charitable issues." "Which of the rich attend?" The list of people who have been invited to dinner at the top of the wealth list is the most concerned by the public.  It is reported that the dinner list has been finalized, the majority of the invited is the wealth list before the top, and the charitable cause of positive attitude or are doing related philanthropy of China's rich, but also some are not appearing in the wealth list of the "invisible rich."  Although the foundation has promised the invitees not to open the list of dinner guests, the invitation has not been kept confidential, but most have opted to keep a low profile.  At present, only Zhang Xin, the chief executive of Soho China, and the chairman of "China's first good" and Jiangsu Huangpu Renewable Resource Utilization Co. Zhang Xin was the first person to publicly announce the invitation.  Zhang Xin, chief executive of Soho China, revealed on her microblog on August 30 that he had received an invitation from http://t.sina.com.cn and Mr. Buffett. Chen Chen, the "China's first good", also made clear to the media that Gates and Mr. Buffett have passed some channels to understand what he has done.  Come to China this time, will dine with him. Chen said if it is advisedIf you donate, he will be the first to respond. Jin Jinping, director of the Research Center for nonprofit organization Law at Peking University Law School, is very optimistic about the "Bobby Action", "from two people have not arrived in China, has caused so much discussion, has been counted meritorious." Ye lei Frankly, if the activity can have some impact on a small number of people, and for those who have never thought about charity issues, or do not think deeply enough, through this exchange can have some thinking, what is wrong?
