Charity Funds

Later that evening, Lin Qi arrived at Wo Delike's house. Sai Weiruila had made a reservation for dinner long ago when she heard that he was going back to the Federal.

"Good evening, Wo Delike, Mrs. Wardrick, and Sai Weiruila!" Lin Qi stood outside the door, holding a bottle of fine red wine, which was said to have been found in a merchant ship that sank about a hundred years ago.

There are more than 100 boxes in total, and each bottle costs about 5,000 to 7,000 yuan. They are not easy to buy.

After all, there are too many wealthy people in the Federal. As long as the products are genuinely good and there are no problems with them, people don't mind spending a little money to savor the taste of time.

It's not that wealthy people aren't curious about the world; in fact, they are more curious than ordinary people. However, their curiosity is quickly transformed into understanding through their money, unlike the curiosity of ordinary people, which may remain just that—curiosity—for their entire lives.

In Bu Peien, there exists a team dedicated to satisfying the curiosity of the wealthy. For the right price, they can even eat a bite of fresh feces and then describe in detail the texture and taste of the feces to satisfy the wealthy's curiosity about "what feces taste like" and "how feces feel."

Lin Qi was one of the wealthiest people and didn't need these special people to help him. Jinhui Bank quickly found him a collector willing to sell, which allowed Lin Qi to get the bottle of wine as soon as he arrived in Bu Peien.

The happiness of the rich is something ordinary people can't even imagine.

"I thought you would be a little later..." Wo Delike, as the head of the household, was the first to speak to Lin Qi, and took the gift he brought from Lin Qi's hand, glancing at it.

"It's this bottle of wine again..." Wo Delike couldn't help but laugh. He handed the bottle to the butler, who then passed it to the last servant.

The servants will open it immediately and place it on the table in advance, ready for the masters and guests to drink.

Wo Delike turned around, shook hands with Lin Qi, said "Welcome," and then invited him in.

Sai Weiruila wanted to join them, but considering Wo Delike's position and authority in the family, she hesitated for a moment and ultimately chose to stay with her mother.

"Is something wrong with this bottle of wine?" Lin Qi didn't know much about red wine. He didn't know what was good or bad, let alone what the details on the bottle meant.

But Wo Delike was clearly aware of all this. He thought he had bought a fake bottle of wine, but he wasn't embarrassed. It was the bank's doing, and if the wine was fake, the bank would be responsible.

Fortunately, Wo Delike shook his head in time, thwarting Lin Qi's plan to rip off the bank. "No, it's true, but it's not true either; there's a little story behind it..."

Lin Qi asked curiously, "May I ask about it?"

"Certainly!"

Wo Delike then told the story he knew: the labels on the bottles were actually new, and there was nothing wrong with the people who salvaged the shipwreck or with the wine itself. The problem was that someone was trying to use this batch of aged wine to make a fuss.

They found new labels and put them on the bottles. Meanwhile, a previously unknown winery quickly became an internationally renowned winery because of this batch of high-quality red wine.

The winery owner was the mastermind behind the whole incident. Some even say that the wines that sank to the bottom of the sea had actually been salvaged long ago, and that it was all just a convenient gimmick to put the wines back in and then salvage them again.

Besides these wines, there was also a movie and three novels that were quickly released after the shipwreck was salvaged, all of which caused the price of this series of wines to rise from a few hundred yuan a bottle to nearly ten thousand yuan a bottle now.

Its price increase seems alarming, but it's not really that scary. What's truly alarming is the commercially operated winery, which has gone from a valuation of less than 200,000 to nearly 10 million. That's what those people really wanted.

The prices of some of the winery's existing alcoholic beverages have also increased by one to several times.

The wine is good, and the story is good, but the people in the story are a little complicated.

Before dinner began, there was still some time, and Lin Qi was surprised to find himself sitting next to Sai Weiruila, whereas he had expected Wo Delike to put him on a separate side.

"Feel sorry..."

While waiting for the meal to begin, Sai Weiruila quietly apologized to Lin Qi. She had originally planned to participate in the filming of "Lin Qi's Adventures 2" and play a cameo role, preferably a female character who could spark a romance with Lin Qi.

Unexpectedly, unrest broke out in Nagaril, so much so that she never had the chance to go Nagaril. Even now that the unrest in most cities has subsided, Wo Delike still refuses to allow her to go to that dangerous place.

This caused her to miss all the filming, which made her a little discouraged, but she also knew very well that Wo Delike did this because he didn't want her to get hurt.

When those mobs committed atrocities, they didn't care who the people in front of them were or what their illustrious status was. From a young age, Sai Weiruila was taught not to be so foolish as to take on huge risks and do something even more stupid.

So she couldn't go, and she felt a little guilty.

"You don't need to apologize. Your safety is the most important thing. Besides, I wasn't involved in the filming..." Lin Qi reassured Sai Weiruila, "We may have the opportunity to work together in the future."

The two men's hushed conversation quickly caught Wo Delike's attention. "What are you talking about? Perhaps you'd like to include this old man in the conversation?"

His wife, standing nearby, chuckled and added, "You're not old at all, darling."

Wo Delike smiled broadly, took his wife's hand, and kissed it. "Darling, do you think so too?"

The use of the word "also" is quite ingenious, but it also shows that they have a good relationship and the whole family is harmonious. Sai Weiruila then began to talk about what they were discussing—the unrest in Nagaril.

During the unrest in Nagaril, Wo Delike and his associates were not actually in Nagaril, nor did they even consider going there.

People of their status often no longer have the right to do things according to their own ideas, because every decision they make could affect the stock price of the Group Company.

Imagine if someone published an article such as "Wo Delike is suspected of losing contact during the Nagaril unrest," even if the content of the article is false, and Wo Delike immediately comes forward to refute it, the Group Company's stock price will still fall, and tens of thousands of dollars will evaporate. The losses are absolutely unimaginable.

Therefore, at their level, they lose initiative and freedom in many things, which is why they often lament how wonderful it would be to be born into an ordinary family.

It's just a sigh, like an ordinary person sighing, "How wonderful it would be if I were rich." It begins with a sigh and ends with a sigh.

Their understanding of Nagaril was mostly based on hearsay and written materials, and Wo Delike was quite curious about it. "Tell us about what happened before we eat..."

Lin Qi organized his thoughts and began to recount some of the events that occurred during the turmoil, including the destructive actions taken by the lower classes of Nagaril against the privileged Upper Class classes.

"... Many wealthy businessmen, officials and their families were attacked, and some families lost members in the disaster."

After Lin Qi finished speaking, he sighed, "What impressed me most was a young man who was not yet twenty years old. His father died in front of him to protect him, and now he has to bravely shoulder his responsibilities, taking care of his mother and the family business."

"Too many human tragedies have occurred during this turmoil..."

"After hearing what you said, I feel a little sad..." Sai Weiruila said, sounding a bit down. "I want to do something, is it okay to donate?"

Lin Qi glanced at Wo Delike, who was also looking at him. Their eyes met in mid-air, conveying a message that outsiders could not understand.

In fact, Wo Delike knew that the mastermind behind all of this was Lin Qi. The turmoil first broke out from the Mengwu Province. In fact, when the turmoil could only be called a disturbance, it could have been controlled. However, Lin Qi did nothing and watched the disturbances expand and grow, ultimately making the situation uncontrollable.

If those natives were the knives that took lives in the chaos, then Lin Qi was the one who threw those knives.

Seeing the seriousness and slight pity on Lin Qi's face, Wo Delike wanted to laugh. This guy was a genius! Lin Qi raised an eyebrow slightly, giving a small retort.

The areas firmly controlled by the financial groups behind Wo Delike were also affected by the turmoil, and they, like him, chose to remain indifferent, watching the turmoil cause irreparable damage to the entire society.

In fact, everyone knows that without this upheaval, the conquerors and new rulers from the Federal would have wasted more time fighting against the local Privileged Class and Ruling Class.

They needed such a upheaval to completely shatter the entrenched Ruling Class in the region. It's possible that every member of the Federal was quietly pushing for this to happen, with some even getting involved themselves! Now, all the Federal members have become beneficiaries. The new generation of rulers they supported has begun to take the stage, and everything is in their favor. The most dangerous people have also emerged during the upheaval, and most of the dangers have been completely resolved by this turmoil.

Mr. Lin Qi, the instigator of everything and a shareholder of the United Development Company, nodded with a benevolent expression. "Of course, you can give me the money, and I guarantee it will be used in the most appropriate way!"
