Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 442 Get a grand prize

This kind of thing is not worthy of Li Weidong's anger. He just sighed a little. Just because he has a good temper does not mean that he does not hold grudges!

Li Weidong always feels that his situation is not big, and he cannot retaliate with kindness for those who have offended him or made him angry.

If I don't care about it, it's enough to give me face. If you still want to come to me for some benefits, it's not a big deal, it's just being taken advantage of.

Li Weidong shook his head and continued to read newspapers. Since the Internet became available, Li Weidong read far fewer newspapers and only read official newspapers.

Before he finished reading a newspaper, Liang Wenhui walked in from outside, looking energetic and looking like he was completely sober.

Seeing Li Weidong say with some embarrassment: "Chairman, I drank too much yesterday, and I didn't wake up until this morning. I didn't have time to come to you last night!"

"Sit down and talk!" Li Weidong waved his hand and didn't pay much attention to this. It was normal to drink too much at a dinner party. He was the boss and he didn't have to drink. Liang Wenhui didn't have that much dignity.

And yesterday was a day for everyone to relax, so it didn't matter if they drank. Li Weidong knew without asking that many people drank too much last night.

The companies under Li Weidong's name are not separate entities. They have upstream and downstream companies that can be connected, related, and cooperated with each other.

Let's get together to talk about strategic cooperation. Although some companies are not controlled by Li Weidong, there are still many investments, so it is normal to get involved.

Therefore, the annual year-end meeting is actually a meeting to discuss business cooperation.

And it is not limited to the cooperation between Li Weidong's own companies. With so many heads of large companies coming to Qizhou and Handong, how could they not attract local attention?

That is to say, Li Weidong is very famous, and he has said hello before that if he wants to attract investment, he can do it, but he has to wait until we finish the meeting.

It is estimated that someone took action last night. The province may not care. The meat will rot in the pot. As long as Li Weidong does not run away, they will not be afraid.

But it is different in every place, especially for those staff who have the task of attracting investment, even if they invest less.

Such a large-scale battle is more effective than investment promotion conferences held in many cities. Where can we attract so many large companies?

It's normal to be busy last night, and it's normal to be busy today. If you're not busy, it means you don't have a place yet, and people don't know you.

"Hello, Chairman!" Liang Wenhui heard Li Weidong's words and sat down quickly.

He picked up the kettle on the table and refilled Li Weidong's tea. After thinking about it, he also poured himself a cup. He should be treated like this.

"Chairman, this is the 10,000th primary school we donated and built. It was completed the day before yesterday in an ethnic minority township in Lancang, Yunnan Province!" Liang Wenhui took out an envelope from his bag and pointed to several photos inside.

He didn't come the day before yesterday just because he participated in this ceremony. Originally he wouldn't have gone, but thinking that it was the 10,000th school, it was a milestone event in any case, so he always felt regretful not to be there.

Li Weidong took the photo and looked at it. The photo was taken well. The entire school is located in a lush environment. It is estimated that this kind of environment can only be found in the south.

There are teachers and students in the photo, but not too many officials. Maybe I didn't show it to Li Weidong because he was afraid that Li Weidong would look at it!

Although the Future Education Foundation established by Li Weidong is not high-profile and will not be promoted in every school or have a "Weidong Building" or something like that, there are still requirements for the name of the school.

You can keep a low profile when doing good deeds, but it is wrong not to leave your name. This will only set a bad example and is not what society advocates.

Didn’t you realize that the country now vigorously publicizes those who do good deeds and introduces various policies to encourage everyone to do more charity? We cannot encourage Zigong to redeem slaves without paying ransom.

If charity involves moral kidnapping, over time there will be fewer people doing charity, and the progress of society will still be guided by interests.

It is better not to promote too much such a moral thing as Kong Rong letting pears do, at least it is unrealistic for most people.

Li Weidong couldn't figure out how Kong Rong could have such a high moral standard. He couldn't do it anyway. Unless he didn't like pears, or there was something better than pears waiting for him, why would he give it to you?

!

Li Weidong also thought about it when he had nothing to do, and considered this matter with the greatest malice. In the end, he came to the conclusion that interests came first.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no current methods of university allocation and public examinations to enter the system, and there was no imperial examination to obtain scholars. Instead, the methods mainly relied on the examination system and bribing eunuchs.

The most important subject of the examination and examination system is filial piety and integrity. What is filial piety and integrity? A filial son is an honest official, that is, he serves his parents at home and the emperor at court.

This thing was a way to become an official at that time, just like the saying that studying hard is your only way out now. From an eighty-year-old man to a three-year-old child, who doesn't know!

Kong Rong, who was born into a noble family, was more precocious and naturally knew how to operate. Let Li spread his reputation as a filial son and prepare for the future!

Li Weidong did not dare to say that he was a morally perfect person. He donated money to build schools, but he could not bear to have so many school-age children without conditions or studying in school buildings with poor conditions.

He felt a little compassion, and he had the ability to make so much money that he couldn't spend it all anyway.

Of course, when donating money to do good deeds, if you can get appropriate gratitude from some recipients, it should be expected and unexpected.

And to a certain extent, it will be very popular among hundreds of millions of Internet (cyber mob) people to extort donations through the air.

Li Weidong is undoubtedly the richest man in China. If he didn't donate the most money, he would definitely be scolded!

When the time comes, Li Weidong will take out the charity work he has done over the years. When these netizens take a look, good guy, the elementary school I went to was donated by someone else, and I even received a scholarship from someone else!

If you can continue to curse, that would be too disrespectful to your conscience!

Therefore, when you do good deeds, you still have to leave your name, even if you write it in a diary. You have to find evidence when needed. Unsung heroes are not easy to do.

Li Weidong does not have the habit of keeping a diary, but the names of the schools he donated and built are written all over the country, "Future Primary School", with village, township and town in front.

Simple and direct, neither high-profile nor subtle, the leader said, "Education must be oriented to modernization, the world, and the future!"

Although Li Weidong is suspected of flattering, but so what, donate billions to flatter him, come and try to flatter him?

He also hopes that one day in the future, if someone searches for the words "Future Primary School" on a map, they will appear densely on the national map.

"You've done a good job. There's no problem in doing this. You have to continue in the future!" Li Weidong pointed at the small school in the photo and said.

The school only has a row of two-story teaching buildings, surrounded by simple courtyard walls, and the playground is just a slag playground with simple construction and low cost.

This was Li Weidong's request. He did not build a high-standard model primary school. Li Weidong believed that those things had no practical significance for rural students.

As long as the quality of the classroom is up to standard, the windows are clear and clean, and there are practical tables, chairs and benches, it is enough. What they need is an environment in which they can learn.

As for what kind of piano should be used to learn music, how to learn about Vanguard and Da Vinci to cultivate one's sentiments, and what kind of sports equipment should be used to exercise, it is completely unnecessary.

Which rural child still needs to exercise? There is a lot of farm work waiting at home, so he might as well save some energy and go back to hunting pigweed!

It just happens to save that time, study more textbook knowledge, score more points in the exam, and pass the exam from the countryside first.

And the most important thing is that Li Weidong knows that the last glory of rural schools is only a few years away. Maybe ten years from now, the number of students in this school will only be in single digits, or it may even close!

Even so, we have to build schools. Even if it takes a year, it is worth it. But if the construction is too good, it is not necessary. Li Weidong wants to maximize resources.

Ten years later, he just wanted to donate money to build a school, but there was no space left. Spending hundreds of thousands to send away several students was still worth it. No more money would make sense.

Liang Wenhui naturally had some understanding of these things when he did this. Judging from the current birth population, the number of school-age children will gradually decrease in a few years, so he strongly agreed with Li Weidong's approach. The two of them had a consensus.

"This is this year's plan to build two thousand schools, each costing about 400,000 yuan!" Liang Wenhui heard Li Weidong's praise and immediately took out another document and said.

In principle, their Future Education Foundation operates independently and has no shareholding relationship with Li Weidong. How it spends money is none of Li Weidong's business.

But this is just a principle. Although the money donated by Li Weidong no longer belongs to him, it is Li Weidong who has the final say on how to spend the money.

Even if it is the Red Cross or the Charity Federation, if you donate a large enough sum of money, you can set requirements on how the money you donate will be used.

Moreover, this foundation is inextricably related to Li Weidong. If Li Weidong stops donating, their foundation will come to an end.

And everyone who knows about this knows well that this is Li Weidong's foundation, but it is not named after Li Weidong.

Therefore, Liang Wenhui must consult Li Weidong for all major matters of the foundation.

The annual plan is a major event, so it naturally requires Li Weidong's consent and Li Weidong's signature on the document, although this has no legal effect.

"You are really good at calculating. You know the company's annual profits better than I do!" Li Weidong said with a smile after hearing this.

Liang Wenhui smiled naively and said nothing. What could he say about pie in the sky? Li Weidong promised that 10% of the company's annual net profit would be transferred to the account of the Future Education Foundation.

From the initial tens of millions of yuan per year to the current several hundred million, although the amount is increasing, Li Weidong has never broken his promise.

Of course, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention Ruibos Holdings, which is too big and not in China. At least the profit attributable to the parent company is not with Xinsheng Holdings.

However, Jingwei Investment will also donate a portion of funds to the Future Education Foundation every year. After all, they were also the original sponsors.

Moreover, all the companies that hold shares in Jingwei Investment also donate a certain amount every year, which is also an important part of the foundation's funding source.

Li Weidong briefly looked through the contents of the plan. It was nothing more than the plan to build several schools in which province, as well as the status of their investigation, and finally made a table.

After looking at it for a while, Li Weidong took it from Liang Wenhui and handed him a pen to sign his name on the cover of the document.

"Thank you, Chairman, for your support!" Liang Wenhui beamed. Although this has no legal effect, based on Li Weidong's character, this word is worth hundreds of millions.

The law is only the minimum requirement, and morality is what determines character. In fact, in a sense, people who abide by the law may also be scum, and basic morality is the standard for human beings.

Li Weidong waved his hand, put the pen on the table, and said with a smile: "I asked you to come here today, but there is actually something I need you to do!"

Li Weidong looked relaxed and unconcerned. He had just spent 10% of Xinsheng Holdings' profits from the previous year.

And that's not all. Jingwei Investment also has to follow up, although not so much. After all, Jingwei Investment is short of money for a long time and has too many companies to invest in.

Zhang Dongshuo carefully put the document into his purse, patted it, and said respectfully: "Chairman, if you have any questions, please give me your instructions!"

"Last year, the National Science and Technology Awards Regulations were passed. Have you heard about this?" Li Weidong asked.

"I heard that there are five awards, mainly to commend those individuals and organizations that have made major breakthroughs at the forefront of science and technology and have made outstanding achievements in the development of science and technology!"

"There are also individuals and organizations that create huge economic or social benefits in scientific and technological innovation, transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and high-tech industrialization!"

"In these two aspects, one is in theoretical achievements and the other is in practical applications. As long as you make significant contributions, you can win these awards!"

"It's just that it hasn't been announced yet who will win this award, but I heard from people that the country has now begun to organize experts to make the selection!"

Liang Wenhui knew about this, but he didn't understand what Li Weidong was going to do. He didn't think about whether Li Weidong wanted to win this award, but he obviously didn't meet the requirements!

The conditions are very clear. Those engaged in management or assistance cannot receive this award, which eliminates the possibility of the top leaders of the unit stealing the results.

If a chairman or general manager wins this award, there is a problem in itself!

And Liang Wenhui doesn’t think Li Weidong is someone who wants these false names!

"How about your foundation also establishes such an award? Of course, there can be more types?" Li Weidong said hesitantly.

He has been thinking about this for a long time. Ever since he saw the regulations, he has been thinking about it, but he has been unable to make a decision.

A few days ago, when Li Weidong met with the big boss, he wanted to bring this up, but in the end he was embarrassed!

There are many people who engage in charity, and it is okay to offer scholarships in universities occasionally, but there are really not many people who offer such awards.

The main thing is that this thing needs a relatively fair and professional judge. The conditions of fairness and professionalism are too harsh.

If you don't have a certain amount of influence, you may collapse and eventually become a laughing stock. However, in the previous life, Uncle Liu, who started his career in entertainment, could win a prize. So can he!
