Chapter 849 Breaking the Mold Today

History always has a way of repeating itself.

On the second day after returning to Hong Kong, Su Yehao saw on his own news website that Xiao Yin had denied owning any "laundry detergent."

Once could be considered an accident, but walking down this road again could only mean that something fishy was going on.

The situation was obvious; it was a blatant attempt to find fault.

Su Yehao had never seen the so-called evidence. He felt as if numerous arms dealers and oil sellers were forcibly creating a new market when there was no market demand.

The atmosphere had been built up and paved to this point. It was estimated that bullying people again was only a matter of time.

Therefore, Su Yehao decided to build a position in advance and go all-in on crude oil.

He only had about $1.6 billion in cash on hand. If he was lucky, he could take the opportunity to replenish his liquid assets.

As for the Bauhinia Institute of Technology and the envisioned artificial island project, these were long-term plans that would not affect his short-term business.

Even if they all became a reality, Su Yehao shouldn't be short of money by the time he actually needed to invest funds. For the time being, there was no pressure on him at all.

After drinking two bowls of preserved egg and lean pork porridge in the morning, Su Yehao came to the living room, turned on the TV, and watched a replay of the *Super Challenge* variety show.

He remembered that he had mentioned Vera's appearance on the show the other night.

In the latest episode, several hosts went to Vera's family's gallery in Central and visited the girl's studio. They each created a sketch and had Vera comment on and score them.

This game was undoubtedly beneficial to Leopard Head Xu Jiangjing.

Despite his rough appearance, Xu Jiangjing had studied painting with the famous painter Guan Shanyue since he was a child. Back in the 1980s, he even held an art exhibition in Hong Kong.

Jiang Yu had stayed overnight in Big Wave Bay last night.

After she finished breakfast, she came to the living room with Nangong Tian and joked,

"How carefree. You just finished eating and are already lying down admiring beautiful women. Speaking of which, Vera looks really good on camera. Her temperament looks like that of a noble lady."

"Yeah, if we strike while the iron is hot and let her debut as a star, our company will definitely make a lot of money, and endorsement contracts will be soft. Even Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia have many people calling to ask us why we haven't signed Vera."

Nangong Tian sat next to Su Yehao and thoughtfully helped him fix his hair.

They were still unaware of the fact that this guy had run to Pengcheng yesterday to meet Vera Andrade. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't just be this level of teasing.

Su Yehao told them,

"I'm just watching TV to pass the time. I don't have any other arrangements today. I'm waiting for the various futures exchanges to open so I can build a new position and make a big splash. Are you two going out later? After the assistant's office is ready, I can go to the city with you. How about beef brisket for lunch?"

"No, we're trying to lose weight. Fruit salad is fine. Every time we eat with you, we have to exercise for a long time to burn off the calories. It's better to eat less from the start."

While Jiang Yu was talking, she took the letters delivered by the butler.

Most of them were promotional advertisements and invitations. A letter from Gulfstream Aerospace caught her attention.

Even though it was the end of 2002, and email was very popular, traditional mail delivery hadn't completely declined.

After opening and browsing through it, Jiang Yu let out a soft sound and said, "Ah Hao, the new plane you bought is ready to start decorating the interior. The manufacturer wants you to confirm the design style with them. It's expected to be delivered to you in April next year."

"... Oh, right. I almost forgot I bought a new plane."

Su Yehao didn't pay much attention. He picked up the other letters and looked at them. He found one that said, "My six-year-old child is lying at home waiting to die because we don't have money for surgery. I hope President Su can generously donate to save her life."

It was probably feared that unfamiliar letters would be thrown away without even being looked at, so the sender wrote it directly on the cover.

Nangong Tian also saw it and sighed, "It's written in simplified Chinese characters. Maybe they came to Hong Kong to work and don't have local medical insurance. A six-year-old child is really pitiful."

Su Yehao also sighed and said,

"There's nothing I can do. Even I have many things I can't do. There are too many examples like this. If I publicly announced that I would help people pay for medical expenses at this moment, I'm afraid I would go bankrupt in half an hour. It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that once I open this door, I'll offend a lot of people in the future and bear a lot of infamy. No one dares to easily touch this kind of charity."

Su Yehao often received similar letters, and there were even more people @'ing him online. The charitable foundation also received related requests for help every day.

This was indeed an area where Su Yehao was powerless.

He pondered for a moment. Through the slightly unsightly yet earnest and neat handwriting on the letter, he could see a family's despair. He struggled and said,

"How about we make an exception? Let's just open this one and see. If there's still hope for a cure, then we'll find a kind person to anonymously donate a sum of money for medical expenses. As long as we don't reveal my own information, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Both the little girl and Jiang Yu understood what Su Yehao was worried about.

Nangong Tian nodded and said, "It definitely can't be traced back to you. If the family publicly thanks you at that time, it will put you on the hot seat instead. A six-year-old child's life has just begun. Since we saw this letter, perhaps it's fate."

"Okay, let's just do a good deed for the day. Helping to pay for medical expenses is a temporary solution, so let's make an exception today..."

Su Yehao opened the letter and read it.

He found that the patient had a tumor in her brain, which had already affected her movement and thinking.

The parents had taken the child to the Upper Peak General Hospital for examination. The suggestion was to have craniotomy surgery within a month, which was expected to cost 400,000 Hong Kong dollars.

This made him relieved. He would say hello to his mother and quietly help. He would find a reason to waive the treatment costs. At least there was still a chance of recovery.

As a wealthy person, because he had the ability to help others, he would inevitably fall into some moral dilemmas.

There would never be an end to helping patients. He could only concentrate his limited energy on some specific charitable areas, such as medical research that could help more people.

In other aspects, he could only hope for the improvement of the official medical insurance system and some supplementary commercial insurance.

Because of this letter, Su Yehao thought of the online crowdfunding model.

When the penetration of Credit Treasure was even higher, in addition to the crowdfunding model, it might also be possible to sell some cheap and affordable insurance on it. Although some people would inevitably exploit loopholes, it could still really help some people in the end.

Of course, it still mainly depended on people's own efforts. They couldn't rely on luck and not leave themselves a way out. Even if it could only help a part of the people, it would still be very good.

Su Yehao didn't say this idea for the time being.

He had already prepared to have Yin Liuli be responsible for this area. This girl had worked in his family's charitable trust fund before and had relevant experience. It would save her from revolving around her daughter all day and being too bored.
