Chapter 101: Munch and Sons Food Bank
It is really unfair to say that Zhang Feng transferred his property. He was just allocating his assets reasonably.

The important industries in the United States are monopolized by large financial groups. He has nowhere to put the money he earns. He can't just leave it in the bank to rot.

But in the final analysis, they are still afraid that the American government will legally freeze Zhang Feng's property or even nationalize it. After all, every capitalist is free of original sin. As long as their property is many times more than that of ordinary people, their interests will definitely be squeezed.

Anyone who has no power and influence and earns so much money would feel insecure, and the right choice would be to take the money and run away.

If you are in a low status among businessmen, and a small official requires you, a wealthy man, to bow and scrape and drink with him, then you are just temporarily keeping other people's wealth, and you have to bear the stigma of a vampire capitalist. It is really a loss.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Zhang Feng really wanted to list all the companies under his name on the New York Stock Exchange, then inflate the revenue by $5640 billion, cash out, and then go to Madagascar to become the emperor. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Even if they were fined 41.75 billion, it would still be a huge profit.

But he soon calmed down, because the money he made was truly earned by himself, and no one would protect him. Moreover, he was not a member of the Morgan consortium. According to American law, he would probably be fined to the point of bankruptcy.

Forget about going to Madagascar, I guess we can only go to Alaska to mine.

Besides, he cannot leave America now. It is nice to be under the shade of a big tree. How can he make money if he leaves? Madagascar still urgently needs him to continue its blood transfusion.

Moreover, in the next hundred years, America was the center of the world. Before its decline, Zhang Feng's family was a member of the American capital consortium, and most countries in the world could go there to make money.

Now that the decision has been made, Zhang Feng has to think of remedial measures. Although Zhang Feng feels that it is meaningless to rely on the media and newspapers to whitewash himself now, he still wants Paramount Daily, the broadcasting company, and even the movie, to speak well of him.

For example, the Monchi family's pharmaceutical, daily chemical products, KFC, sporting goods and other companies have created jobs for hundreds of thousands of people, and most importantly, they have never delayed payment of wages.

It generates hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue and charitable donations every year. Well, I won’t mention that because they are all donated to American officials, so it’s not convenient to talk about it.

In addition, it also "cracked down" on gang crimes and hosted various competitions, making outstanding contributions to Los Angeles.

After all the flattery, it did have some effect. Many citizens believed that Zhang Feng was innocent and was a capitalist worthy of sympathy.

Next to the Monchi Manor stands a three-story building with a garden.

This building is the office of the think tank recruited by Zhang Feng, and there are also many employees, secretaries and other staff who are responsible for connecting Zhang Feng and his affiliated companies.

In a spacious conference room, today's meeting is to discuss how to resolve Zhang Feng's reputation crisis.

"Boss, I think the best way is to do charity. As long as we give people some small favors, we can make them change their ideas and positions." A doctor of psychology suggested.

“Boss, I think we should pay more money to the media. They are the best at manipulating people’s minds and can turn the situation around in a very short time. As long as you pay them, they will have no stance.” said another expert who is quite influential in the media industry.

"Boss, I think it doesn't matter what ordinary people think. The key to solving the problem is to deal with the upper elites," said a senior official who retired from the U.S. government.

Zhang Feng listened to these people's analysis and suggestions, and confirmed that the huge sum of money he spent was indeed worth it.

"Everyone's suggestions are good. Let's take a three-pronged approach. Write a specific implementation plan based on your ideas, and then hand it over to the subordinates for execution."

Zhang Feng finally decided that, of course, these plans would not be written by the experts themselves, they all have their own team.

So soon, a whitewashing plan was put forward.

After Zhang Feng spent a lot of money and used his connections with Roosevelt and the California consortium to promise to give out some benefits, the situation calmed down quietly.

At the same time, a company called Munch & Sons Food Bank was established with great fanfare.

The modern food bank originated in the mid-19th century. The earliest prototype was the "soup kitchen" that appeared during the Irish Famine. As the name suggests, it is a kitchen that provides free soup, and if you are lucky, you can get a piece of bread.

The world's first true food bank was established in Arizona, USA in 1967, called St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance.

In developed countries in Europe and America, waste and hunger coexist. A group of volunteers who are enthusiastic about charity have spontaneously organized themselves to set up a "food bank" to collect surplus food and distribute it free of charge to the hungry street poor. This not only reduces waste, but also helps the poor.

When Zhang Feng was looking at the charity plan, he found that a large sum of money had to be donated directly to the Red Cross. He thought that this was like throwing meat buns at a dog. I would rather give more rewards to the author who worked hard to write a novel when reading it, and I would not be stupid enough to give money to rich people who drive Maseratis.

After he put the Red Cross on the list of permanently banned donations, he came up with this way of doing charity based on the current social situation in the United States.

It is better to donate the money to yourself and feel more at ease. If you donate 100 million, you can earn back 80 after collecting various fees. Then you can persuade ordinary people who can afford it to donate as well, and maybe you can even make a profit.

Zhang Feng suddenly felt that he was becoming more and more like a bureaucratic capitalist.

I remember that more than 10 years ago, I was a newbie who knew nothing. Along the way, I relied on the blessing of an unknown mysterious power and my development was relatively smooth, but I also made many mistakes.

The most serious incident was when, for the sake of oil, they impulsively joined the war against Saudi Arabia without considering the possibility of being intercepted by the British Navy.

If the British discovered it during the second transport, there would be heavy losses.

Although the United States has gradually emerged from the trough of the economic crisis, it would not fully recover until the Second World War when the industrial production mode was fully launched. There are still many civilians in the United States who cannot afford to eat and need relief.

Of course, it was impossible for the Monch and Sons Food Bank during this period to obtain all the surplus food for free, because there were no major supermarket suppliers of nearly expiring food, nor was there a large amount of wasted food or food donated by ordinary people.

Therefore, the Monk and Sons Food Bank can only purchase unsold food from farmers or factories at low prices, and then distribute it to civilians for free.

The largest donors to the Monkey & Sons Bank are companies such as Shennong Pharmaceuticals, Paramount, and the Monkey family.

A store on a street in Los Angeles was lined up with people, both men and women, young and old.

"Here you go!" Zhang Chengwen handed a yellow steamed bun to a child about his age. Seeing that the child was still looking at him, he took out another steamed bun from the basket in front of him and put it in his hand.

The little boy whispered thank you and left quickly.

Zhang Chengwen is Greta Monge's second twin son, and he is eight years old this year. Today, he and his twin brother Zhang Chengwu accompanied Zhang Feng to distribute food for free.

This is the second day of Zhang Feng's show. Yesterday, he also brought Greta Monch's two 11-year-old eldest sons Zhang Chengtian and Zhang Chengyun with him.

In this situation, he couldn't just bring other children here, otherwise the image of a happy family that Zhang Feng presented to the outside world would completely collapse.

The name "Monkey & Sons Bank" was also suggested by the think tank, because America, as a representative country of individualism, emphasizes individual freedom and the right of individuals to pursue happiness. Therefore, Americans usually put the interests of individuals and families first.

Because Americans believe that family is an important source of personal happiness, the importance of family occupies a place in American culture.

Naming the bank "Monch & Sons" and participating in charity activities with his family can further increase the recognition of the American people.

Although many people outside are saying that he has many mistresses and sons, he can only do it but not say it, just like he does not openly admit that the Meihua Company belongs to him.

The Monchi and Sons Food Bank has been welcomed by the citizens of Los Angeles, who all praised Mr. Monchi as a kind capitalist who shouldered social responsibilities.

Mr. Monk's sons are as handsome as him, and they all want to marry their daughters to them in the future. As a result, Zhang Feng became the national eunuch.

In September 1937, Monchizhang University, which had been under construction for three years, opened successfully.

As the principal, Zhang Feng naturally needed to go on stage and give a passionate speech.

Perhaps anyone who has studied the history of the Republic of China would not want to be a principal.

Zhang Feng, like the principal, actually has no real ability.

The principal of a military academy cannot fight a war, and he cannot teach either.

Compared with the school principals in the Far East at that time, he felt ashamed of himself.

But compared to the current situation, Zhang Feng suddenly felt that he could do it too, maybe it was Liang Jingru who gave him the courage.

In addition to students and teachers, present today are students' parents and ordinary citizens of Los Angeles.

There are also Chinese students studying from Madagascar. This is the fifth batch. Some of them have returned after completing their studies and are contributing to Chinese companies in the United States.

Many important guests also came, including President Roosevelt's secretary, Wilson of the California Foundation, California Secretary of Education, the Mayor of Los Angeles, and heads of other cooperative foundations in California.

"Dear teachers, students, parents, and distinguished guests, welcome to the opening ceremony of Monchizhang University, blah blah."

After the ceremony, Zhang Feng took the important guests out to attend the cocktail party afterwards.

A school administrator said that they could arrange for beautiful female college students to help with the reception.

Zhang Feng fired this beastly vice-president on the spot and reprimanded the manager of the recruitment and human resources department.

University is a place to improve social status, make money, make connections, and train cattle and horses. Pah! It is a place to teach and educate people.

How can you forget your original intention and mission as educators?

Zhang Feng then instructed another vice president to arrange for the logistics department to purchase a stone tablet that was 19.52 meters long, 2.1 meters high, 1.2 meters thick, and weighed fifty tons. He then used bright red paint to carve a warning sign that read “Don’t forget your original intention, and keep your mission in mind.”

This stone is comparable to the doorplate of a people's hospital in a poor area and is extremely majestic.

The next day, the newspaper reported the news that Zhang Feng donated money to support education, which brought him another wave of goodwill.
