Reborn Tycoon Rise

Early the next morning, Xu Zhi welcomed a new guest, Vice Minister Lin, a person in charge of the civil affairs department.

"Minister Lin, welcome." Xu Zhi greeted the visitor with a smile. Yesterday afternoon, he received news that a senior official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs would be sent to discuss with him today.

Minister Lin smiled and shook hands and said, "Mr. Xu, you're welcome."

"Please sit down!"

The two sat down, and Minister Lin said: "Yesterday, the ministry learned that Mr. Xu was interested in making charitable donations in China. It took it very seriously and specially arranged for me to come and talk with Mr. Xu to strive for a perfect cooperation."

Charity is nothing new in the mainland. After the reform and opening up, some Western concepts that are beneficial to the public have been accepted, and charity is one of them.

In July 1981, the first foundation in the mainland, the China Children and Teenagers' Foundation, was established to devote itself to children's education and welfare. In the following years, the Welfare Foundation for Disabled Persons, the Women's Development Foundation, and the Ecological Environmental Protection Fund were successively established. Will wait...

The most famous "Project Hope" project in later generations actually originated from the "Youth Development Foundation" established in 1989.

It is very simple to establish a charitable foundation, but the funds and resources required for development require heavy investment. At present, the government funds are not sufficient, so major funds accept private donations and donations from overseas Chinese.

Xu Zhi considered his words and asked tentatively: "Minister Lin, I wonder if a private charity fund can be established in China at present?"

"Private charity fund!" Minister Lin wanted to veto it directly, but after thinking about the identity of the person in front of him, he still said euphemistically: "Mr. Xu, charity funds need to accept social donations and supervision. If they are controlled by private individuals, then all kinds of I’m afraid there might be something wrong with the accounts?”

"But in European and American countries, even Japan and Hong Kong, the main force in charity has always been private foundations." Xu Zhi shook his head and said.

Minister Lin said: "Mr. Xu, we do need to learn from Western countries at present, but we also need to consider national conditions in this regard."

"Okay, if you are worried about the opaqueness of the donation, then I can agree that the fund I established will not accept any external donations and will only be funded by myself. How about this?" Xu Zhixiao asked.

"In this case..." Minister Lin thought for a moment and said, "I can report Mr. Xu's ideas. I have no control over whether it is passed or not."

"Okay, thank you very much, Minister Lin." Xu Zhidao.

Minister Lin then asked: "Mr. Xu, I wonder what kind of charity you plan to do?"

"It's like this. Before coming to the capital this time, I encountered something in Shenhai City..." Xu Zhi slowly told what happened in Shenhai City.

"Human trafficking has existed in our country for countless years. In the early years, the Ministry of Public Security also vigorously cracked down on it. However, it quickly revived after the crackdown and the remaining poison is not exhausted." Minister Lin also hated this kind of thing: "Mr. Xu , is the fund you want to set up targeted at this type of orphans and abducted children?"

"Yes, but this is just one of them." Xu Zhi said: "I will build orphanages in some cities to specifically help some children rescued by the police. At the same time, I am planning to build a modern Western database in the capital, using supercomputers and supporting equipment. The software matches the data of families who have lost children and rescued children across the country, and uses high-tech technology to help them return to their families!"

This technology is very common in later generations, and many families also rely on data comparison to find their children. Of course, this is not the Internet era after all. Everyone has access to the Internet. In terms of efficiency, it is certainly not as good as later generations, but it is far more than the current one. Artificial pairing.

"Supercomputer?" Minister Lin was a little short-circuited. He had heard of this thing. Some time ago, the ministry also discussed using electronic databases to process domestic demographic data. However, the data was too huge and required a large number of servers and too many of foreign exchange, and ultimately nothing happened.

However, he reacted quickly and said with a smile: "It is a good idea to use high technology to solve problems, but it involves some information from the public security department, I'm afraid..."

"Minister Lin, I don't need to know these data. All databases and supercomputers can be operated by people from government departments. I will provide some software engineer support." Xu Zhi explained: "This aspect is not operated by The foundation controls it, we only provide some help."

Supercomputers are simple, and software development also requires many engineers to design algorithms, and subsequent maintenance also requires a lot of maintenance. At the same time, it is also necessary to gain more experience in practice to further optimize the algorithm.

But the core of the cooperation is the cooperation of government departments, reports of missing families and information about rescued children. The public security department cannot provide this information to its own foreign-funded fund, but the civil affairs department is in charge of orphanages across the country and can reasonably obtain it. These data.

"If that's the case, it's no problem." Minister Lin also understood what Xu Zhi meant, which was that the other party would provide advanced high-tech equipment to his department and then use it for charity. But in this case, of course he would be happy. This is a He has a real political achievement and can help abducted children return home. This is a good deed, and everyone is willing to do this kind of thing.

"Then Mr. Xu's foundation is mainly to help these children live a normal life before returning to their families?" Minister Lin then asked.

Xu Zhi said: "I can provide some help in this area, but I have another idea. Minister Lin, although human traffickers are hateful, they are only after money, and the source of this money is countless buyers. No matter how strict the law is, As long as there are buyers, there will be people who take desperate risks and do things that are outrageous to both humans and gods!"

"Mr. Xu wants to cut off this buyer's market?" Minister Lin was stunned for a moment and said: "According to our country's laws, buying people is also a criminal offense, but the crime is much lighter than trafficking. Some people have also proposed to implement the same crime of buying and selling. , but in the end the final decision was not adopted, and there were also great difficulties in practical operation.”

"The same crime of buying and selling can indeed suppress buyers to a certain extent, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem." Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "A professor of criminology and psychology in the United States once put forward a point of view, whether a person dares to commit a certain crime, the crime The degree of punishment is only a secondary factor, while the probability of being caught is the primary factor.

In other words, no matter how serious the crime is but it is difficult to be caught, there will still be many people who dare to commit the crime. On the contrary, even if the crime is not serious but it is easy to be caught, then few people will dare to commit the crime.

What's more, with the current literacy rate in the mainland, many people can't even write their own names, so it's unrealistic for them to understand the law. At the same time, some remote areas are also high in the mountains and far away from the emperor, and information is closed. It is basically impossible to investigate. "

"What do you think about Mr. Xu?" Minister Lin asked.

Xu Zhi said: "My idea is very simple. Human traffickers sell people for profit, so I can also use 'profit' to save these trafficked children or adults.

Even in remote mountainous areas, people will exist in villages. These people have very little communication with the outside world, but they are closer to each other. In other words, once a family buys a child, outsiders may not know , but it’s impossible for people who live nearby not to know.

The foundation I plan to set up will set up a special fund to reward those who report it. As long as the money is in place and the confidentiality system of the public security department is strict, there will be a huge legal income and it can save people. I don’t believe it. There are so many people in the village, and some people will not be moved. "

"This method..." Minister Lin frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Theoretically, it works, but the actual operation involves many official departments."

"So in this regard, Minister Lin still needs more help to discuss various details with the public security department." The public security department is not involved in business, so Xu Zhi did not go to them directly to avoid violating taboos.

Managing population issues is the function of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It is most reasonable for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take the lead in this project.

"Mr. Xu, you're welcome. If this matter really succeeds, it will be able to save thousands of families. It will be a great merit. It is also an honor for me to participate." Minister Lin said sincerely: "It's just that, If Mr. Xu’s plan really covers the whole country, it will require a lot of money?”

"Money is not a problem!" Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "And I plan to focus on some poor areas. Medium and large cities are not within the scope of the plan."

From the 1980s to the 1990s, urban household registration management was relatively strict, and it was also a place where the family planning policy focused on monitoring. It was difficult for an ordinary family to hide an extra child from the household registration management department, but if the family was wealthy, it would Adopt a child through legal means.

Therefore, the foundation's main focus is on some underdeveloped areas, where son preference is severe, marriages are arranged, and women and children's rights are ignored, creating a breeding ground for population crime.

Minister Lin then asked: "Have Mr. Xu thought about the amount of the reward for reporting?"

"The specific amount should be determined based on the income of different places. If this project can be established, we will discuss this issue." Xu Zhidao: "But how to convey this information nationwide, I need Minister Lin's help. "

The direct purpose of the charity fund is indeed to save some abducted children, but to achieve maximum effect, a lot of publicity is still needed to let everyone know that anyone who dares to buy children will face the threat of being reported, and curb the entire domestic epidemic. buyer market.

Based on the current domestic income situation, a normal worker earns almost 1,000 yuan a year, while an ordinary farmer may earn less than one-tenth. Even if the reporting bonus is increased to 1,000 yuan, and there are 10,000 reporting cases a year, it will be much more necessary. The capital is only 10 million.

Moreover, the amount of the bonus cannot be too high. If it is too high, it may cause some people to covet it. Balance is the most important thing, so that ordinary people can be red-eyed and want it, but capable people do not need to break the law and plan.

However, the foundation’s investment in publicity is not just a matter of cost. In this era, most rural families do not have televisions, and it is impossible to disseminate all information even through advertisements. Therefore, the only way is to use channels from government departments to provide information from above. Pass it on to the next level.

"Publicity is really not suitable for telling everyone in a big way, but I can pass the news to all county-level cities through the channels of the civil affairs department, and then the local person in charge will find a way to spread the news." Minister Lin A commitment was made.

"Thank you, Minister Lin." Xu Zhi nodded.

"Mr. Xu, you're welcome." Minister Lin said, "Being able to do some practical things for the people is what I should do. When I go back later, I will sort out this information immediately and report the matter as quickly as possible. Go up."

This matter is very involved. Xiangjiang Capital wants to establish a charity fund in China. This kind of thing involves ideology and involves cross-department cooperation. It must be approved by the superiors.

"Then I'll just wait for the good news." Xu Zhi laughed.
