Rebirth Starts From 2006

There are many old sayings handed down from our ancestors, including two old sayings:

One is "borrow three things but not two, and help the urgent but not the poor".

What’s the explanation?

Three borrowings, one borrowing from natural and man-made disasters, sudden disasters, the second borrowing from weddings and funerals, and the third borrowing from medical treatment and study to continue one's future.

If someone in these three situations comes to borrow money, and if you have the ability, you should help them appropriately.

The second is not borrowing. The first is not borrowing. He is idle and does not do his real work and only specializes in making money. The second is not borrowing. He is dishonest and capricious and only cares about taking advantage of others.

For these two types of people, no matter how much money you lend to them, they are probably like meat buns beating dogs, and they will never come back, so you must not lend them.

Besides, we don’t help the poor but the urgent.

This old saying is easy to understand. If you need money in an emergency, you can borrow it. The previous "borrow three" is actually within the scope of emergencies. Here, the scope is just slightly expanded, with a little more maneuverability. room,

The wisdom of our ancestors is that life needs warmth and life needs flexibility!

But if you meet the latter two types of people, you can’t borrow money no matter how urgent the matter is.

If you have compassion, you can give it,

It can’t be counted as a loan!

Because there is no possibility of taking it back.

So, the previous boss Chen never did "charity"!

Even though he is praised by countless netizens as the number one philanthropist in the country, even Mr. Chen, who always boasts that he is the first philanthropist, has become the second best philanthropist.

But in Chen Yang's heart, he has never done any "charity"!

He just followed the old saying, when others were in urgent need and he was able, he generously gave them some money, that's all.

This was true during the snowstorm at the beginning of the year, and it was also true during the natural disaster in May. In that case, almost all normal people could not escape the disaster by their own abilities and could only rely on the power of society.

As a member of the social force, Boss Chen must certainly contribute.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility,

Since he is richer than others, he naturally has to donate more.

As for the Mayflower Company, that comes from the second sentence he praised,

“It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish”!

In fact, he was already doing this before the Mayflower,

However, in the past, it was only the people around me.

For his relatives, Chen Yang taught them how to open a fresh food store, and almost taught Yang Yong how to manage the company step by step. He didn't let go until he could run it independently.

To my colleagues and friends around me,

Teach Zhang Chunli their professional skills, management methods, and strategic vision,

Teach the eldest uncle and the younger uncle how to become suppliers of Aunt Wang’s company,

Teach Wanjing to act as an agent for mahjong machines and battery cars...

The effect is quite good,

Relatives are now spending their earned money, and their voices are louder, which made Chen Yang's ears numb several times.

In front of Chen Yang, they were not as cautious as poor relatives when meeting rich relatives. This was one of the reasons why Chen Yang always went to the wholesale market.

Besides his parents being there, Chen Yang was also happy to play mahjong and brag with these relatives, which was great.

In addition, Zhang Chunli and others, as well as Wan Jing and Luo Wei, have also lived a good life through their own efforts.

Everything they achieved was achieved through their own hard work.

What does it have to do with Boss Chen? !

If you don’t believe it, go check out Boss Chen’s other brother Zhu Hong. He is still a small leader in a relative’s factory, almost unchanged from before Boss Chen made his fortune.

Nowadays, even Wan Jing and Luo Wei have gained a little fame on the Internet. Many people know that they are good friends of Boss Chen, but Zhu Hong is like an invisible person. If Chen Yang hadn't called him often , he is about to disappear from this small circle,

Therefore, internal factors are the key, and this is also the reason why he adheres to this principle!

But now,

After walking on the mountain road for three or four hours in Chenyang, visiting Haruo Village, eating a big meal without a table, and unexpectedly contracting gastroenteritis,

He suddenly had a small change,

Chen Yang held the phone, raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and said softly,

"Mr. Shan, I always felt that helping people in need does not help the poor.

But, you ask, why are there those ‘urgents’? "

After hearing these words, not only Huang Shan fell silent, but also everyone else next to Chen Yang fell into deep thought.

Soon, Lu Jiannan whispered, "Because of 'poverty'!"

Almost at the same time, Huang Shan also said on the other end of the phone, "It's because of being 'poor'. Being 'poor' makes their family have no money, so they will be in trouble when something unexpected happens."

"Yes, it's because of 'poverty',"

Chen Yang glanced at Lu Jiannan, smiled slightly, and continued talking to the phone, "Because he is poor, he cannot marry a wife and cannot afford a dowry. Because he is poor, he has no money to see a doctor and cannot afford a burial. Because he is poor, he cannot even go to university. rise,

Yes, the Mayflower Project helps them escape poverty, but it takes time.

Maybe two years, maybe three years, five years,

What if they also get 'gastroenteritis' during this period? "

There was silence inside the receiver,

Chen Yang was not in a hurry. He looked at the mountains in the distance and frowned slightly.

The money is his, and the company is also his. Regardless of whether other people want it or not, they have to do what he wants.

What's more, he also believes that Huang Shan is not the kind of iron cock who never pulls out his hair.

Otherwise, she would not have invested so much energy in the Mayflower project and allowed this temporary company to get on the right track so quickly.

Wouldn't it be more in her own interest to spend more time on Rainbow Group?

If you don't speak now, maybe you are thinking about how to conceive an execution plan like him.

A moment later, Huang Shan said on the phone, "'Borrow three, not borrow two.' Well, I understand this sentence. Except for weddings and funerals, we can't provide money to them. And if there is a natural disaster, there will be social relief." ,

Then, the target of our charity organization is very clear.

One is for medical treatment, and the other is for reading."

She suddenly laughed, "right?!"

Chen Yang picked at his itchy chin, frowned and asked, "Our charity organization? What do you mean?"

Huang Shan couldn't help being slightly startled when she heard this, "Aren't you planning to set up a charity organization yourself?"

"Can you do this, my sister Shan?!"

Chen Yang said angrily, "For medical treatment, please contact the Red Cross Society. For education, there is also the 'Hope Project'. This project happens to be managed by the Youth Development Foundation and the Youth Development Committee. If we just cooperate with them directly, we will be done."

Talk to them directly and affiliate with their organization. Then we will pay and send financial management personnel to assist in the execution. It is safe, effective and more efficient. It is much better than doing it alone! "

Although there are many problems with the Red Cross, it cannot change the fact that they are one of the top ten charities in the country and the most authoritative in medical charity.

As long as they keep good financial control and use the resources of the Red Cross to do things, they will get the name, Boss Chen will achieve his goal, and a win-win result will be achieved, so why not do it!

This is also Chen Yang’s consistent style.

For non-core resources, we must be good at using external forces to achieve results.

Although there is a management fee to be paid...

Hmm hmm hmm,

Regarding the management fee of this charity foundation, there are different opinions in the society. Why should it be 5% or 10% of the donation?

Here, let me explain it a little bit,

These 50% and 10% things are all rumors!

Putting aside the illegal behind-the-scenes operation, according to the formal regulations,

In fact, before 2004, my country’s public welfare foundations were almost all operating at “zero cost”.

This means that all management expenses, fundraising expenses, staff salaries and benefits, administrative office expenses, etc., are not funded by donations.

Who will bear the responsibility?

Either the national civil affairs department will foot the bill, or the foundation directors will raise funds from other sources!

It was not until 2004 that my country promulgated the new "Regulations on the Management of Foundations" and in 2006 began to implement the "Measures for the Annual Inspection of Foundations" to conduct annual inspections of foundations.

In the regulations, it is clearly stipulated that

Foundation staff salaries, benefits and administrative office expenses shall not exceed 10% of the total expenses for the year!

Here's the key, the ratio here is based on "total expenditures for the year", not the total amount of donations!

Anyone who has read the Nine Meanings can basically understand the difference here.

You must seek truth from facts. How much work has been done and how much actual expenses have been incurred can be counted as real expenses.

Unlike foreign "charitable funds", once the money is collected, the matter is not done yet. I will first raise a 20% management fee...

Ahem, of course it might only be 10%.

This is not nonsense,

American Charity Navigator is the world’s first evaluation website for charitable organizations. According to its data,

UNICEF's administrative expenses account for 8.4%, and fundraising expenses account for 7.4%, totaling 15.8%. This ratio is still relatively small.

The fundraising expenses of their refugee agency are as high as 18%, and administrative expenses account for 10.5%. Excluding a small amount of other expenses, the expenses spent on projects only account for 70.5%.

This business is done!

Of course, they also have advantages. Foreign foundations often publish accounts regularly, and all donors and ordinary people can check the detailed usage of management fees.

This is indeed worth learning!

Don’t care about others, just talk about ourselves,

For example, this earthquake cost the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation more than 19 million yuan, accounting for approximately 6.27% of the foundation's total fundraising.

This is considered a reasonable expense.

As for the Red Cross Society, which has been criticized by countless people, what is the proportion of its management expenses during this earthquake relief?

Very surprising,

The number is, zero!

That's right, the Red Cross has specially opened a special account for the relief of major disasters this time. All the money raised will be used for disaster relief, and no management fees will be charged!

This is also a common practice of the International Red Cross.

According to international practice, the withdrawal ratio of the Red Cross management fee is capped at 6.5%, while the salary of the Red Cross staff belongs to the civil servant level and is borne by the state.

In the event of a major disaster, the national Red Cross Society can make targeted special donations. At this time, management expenses are generally not deducted.

Therefore, it is completely reasonable and legal for special funds affiliated to these foundations to pay management fees to these institutions.

However, the ratio in between can go up or down.

Generally speaking, affiliated foundations need to pay a 5% management fee. Of course, they can also use all the resources of the manager.

There are also few,

For example, Mr. Cao, the glass king of later generations, reached an agreement with the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation. From the 200 million donation, he can withdraw 3% of the management fee.

In fact, this money is not enough for the implementation costs of the project, or it can only barely cover the direct costs, but not enough for hidden expenses, such as staff wages, housing conditions, etc.

It's just that the China Development Council belongs to the Poverty Alleviation Office system and can use the huge system resources to reduce these expenses, so a balance can be barely achieved.

When we get to Boss Chen's place, of course it's impossible to settle the accounts so rigorously.

However, it won’t leave them much room for “profit” either.

Do those people still need him to "donate money"? !

Therefore, five percent should be a more reasonable number!

Spend 5% so that the project can be rolled out immediately. I don’t know how many families can be helped and how many lives can be saved.

Boss Chen is also very clear about this.

Huang Shan, who has an understanding of the domestic charity foundation system through working at Mayflower Company, also understands that

So, after hearing Boss Chen's teasing, Huang Shan helplessly covered her forehead, "Okay, I thought you wanted to set up a charity foundation yourself. After all, given our current situation, this foundation can be considered a charity foundation." It’s a nice ‘protective halo’.”

"wrong!"

Boss Chen immediately corrected him sternly, "This is not a 'protective halo', but a 'disaster-attracting halo'. Let's not touch it!"

After a pause, he said again,

"It's very simple to have a 'body-protecting halo'. 'Legal business operations and paying taxes according to regulations' are the biggest 'body-protecting halo'!"

Then, he added silently in his heart,

Hum hum, when I go to Xijiang and implement the investment projects there, I will have the largest "body protection aura", and it is the kind that is immune to all evils, and no one dares to mess with it.

What kind of foundation do you want? !

Huang Shan naturally couldn't hear what Boss Chen was saying, so she shook her head and smiled, "Okay, okay, the last question is, what is the donation amount and management fee ratio?"

Chen Yang said without hesitation, "Each of them is one billion a year, and I will give them five percent of the management fee. Just say it was decided by me."

"OK,"

Huang Shan nodded and repeated, "One billion each year, that's two billion, right?"

After getting confirmation, she said, "Okay, let's wait for this."

Chen Yang immediately interrupted her, "How long?"

If it takes a long time, he wonders if he should call Shuji Lu, the committee member?

At this moment, I heard Huang Shan say, "Two days."

You made me wait for two days?

Boss Chen was speechless.

Have you, Huang Shan, also learned to lie? !

Huang Shan smiled slightly, looked at the location map on the computer, and then remembered why she called Boss Chen, and immediately asked, "How long has it been, and the helicopter hasn't arrived yet?"

Listening to the voice on the phone and looking at the small black dot approaching rapidly in the distance, Boss Chen said calmly, "What a coincidence, they are already here, and they are flying above me now. They must be looking for a place to land."

When Huang Shan heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, now that they have arrived, you should board the plane quickly and have a good rest in Xichang for a few days. If you are not in good health, you can't hit the road!"

"clear,"

Chen Yang took a deep breath and his face quickly darkened, "But now I have to do another thing."

Without waiting for Huang Shan to ask questions, he tapped the screen to hang up the phone, thrust the phone into Zou Rong's hand, turned around and ran away, "I'll go to the bathroom first."

Zou Rong looked at his back, then at her phone, and decisively put it into Shen Youshun's hand, "Take it first, I'm going to go too."

Then he took off his legs and ran.
