Resource Tycoon Reborn

Lu Chaofa talked endlessly, and Fang Mingyuan interrupted from time to time to ask questions. The two of them continued to ask and answer questions until dinner. △￠While eating, Fang Mingyuan and him were still discussing continuously.

"Master Fang, you are really too humble!" Lu Chaofa said sincerely. Fang Mingyuan claimed to be a layman just now, and he took it seriously. But after talking this afternoon, Lu Chaofa discovered that Fang Mingyuan really understood those professional terms and theories.

He doesn’t know much, but his understanding of disaster prevention and relief is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Moreover, although he is a world-famous person and a billionaire, he is not arrogant at all in front of himself.

His performance showed respect for himself in every aspect, which made Lu Chaofa feel very comfortable in his heart.

"In front of Professor Lu, I am just a layman." Fang Mingyuan chuckled, "This is not something to be modest about, but a fact!"

"Over the years, Longxing Construction Group has indeed been ahead of these domestic construction companies in terms of earthquake resistance of buildings." Lu Chaofa said with emotion. He finally understood why Longxing Construction Group competed with most domestic construction companies.

The company is different and has invested so much in earthquake-proofing and earthquake-proofing of buildings. And after acquiring this technology, it has not kept it to itself, but has continuously opened up technology authorization in this area to other domestic construction companies. Unfortunately, in China,

In order to seek higher profits, the vast majority of construction companies have not fully utilized and understood these technologies.

"But compared with first-class foreign construction companies, we still have big shortcomings. It can be said that we are still catching up with them instead of leading the world trend." Fang Mingyuan sighed. He had to admit that even if

Even though it has continuously acquired the world's advanced technologies over the years, Longxing Construction Group's technical foundation is still too weak.

"Time is still very fair to human beings. Overtaking in corners certainly exists. But most of the time, it still depends on years of accumulation. This is also the right way to develop." Lu Chaofa said seriously, "Technology is of course important.

It’s exciting, but it also leaves many hidden dangers.”

"Professor Lu is right!" Fang Mingyuan nodded. Using strength to crush your opponent with dignity and dignity is an irresistible conspiracy!

"Domestic research institutions are also working hard to catch up with their international counterparts, but to be honest, the distance between us has not narrowed much over the years. On the contrary, in many subject areas, we have been pulled further and further away from developed countries.

Far." Lu Chaofa sighed, "Although economic development is important, it does not mean that other aspects are not important. With well-developed limbs and a simple mind, he is just a rough guy!" Fang Mingyuan secretly laughed in his heart, Lu Chaofa was able to reach this point.

He just hinted that it was already beyond his expectation.

"Professor Lu, as a senior official of the China Earthquake Administration, tell me, are you satisfied with the work of the China Earthquake Administration?" Fang Mingyuan put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile.

Lu Chaofa couldn't help but be startled, and after a while he smiled bitterly and said: "Master Fang, you definitely don't want to hear lies, but tell the truth. Our country's earthquake scientific research is already very weak, and there is not enough financial support.

If the Earthquake Bureau is further laid off... the situation will become even more bleak."

"In China, the presence of the Earthquake Bureau can be said to be very low, except after a strong earthquake. Professor Lu just said that our country is a country with many earthquakes and is also the country that suffers the most serious earthquake disasters in the world. Because of earthquakes

Our country accounts for half of the world's death toll, and earthquakes account for half of the casualties caused by various natural disasters! This shows that earthquakes pose a great threat to the life and property safety of Chinese people.

However, in China, disaster relief is the matter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the formulation of earthquake-resistant building standards is the matter of the Ministry of Construction, and the propaganda and education work on guiding earthquake prevention and disaster reduction knowledge is largely done by the Propaganda Department. As for formulating earthquake science and technology development plans and policies; organizing

Earthquake science and technology research and national key earthquake science and technology projects; organize and coordinate the research and development of earthquake emergency and rescue technologies and equipment; guide the development and application of earthquake science and technology achievements; undertake external exchanges and cooperation in earthquake science and technology. To be honest, the state's annual allocation

How much money has been really invested in this aspect, and how much can it be?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

Lu Chaofa was speechless for a long time. As a senior official of the Earthquake Bureau, although he was not an official with real power, he still knew something about it after working in the Bureau for so many years. More than 60% of the funds allocated by the state for the Earthquake Bureau every year were

The share has been swallowed up by the normal operation of public institutions and administrative departments. Less than 10% is used for the construction and operation of seismic stations and seismic networks. No more than 100% is used for earthquake emergency rescue and earthquake disaster prevention.

Seven out of 10! And the cost of housing security for the employees of the Earthquake Bureau accounts for nearly 4%! As a conscientious official and intellectual, he really can't say a word of satisfaction for the current working situation of the Earthquake Bureau!

Fang Mingyuan smiled. He had already seen through the work efficiency and results of many domestic government agencies and institutions, and did not hold out much hope. Lu Chaofa did not say anything to defend the Earthquake Bureau, so he was already satisfied.

.

"Professor Lu, to be honest, I am personally very dissatisfied with the work of the Seismological Bureau, so over the years, our family's funds for earthquake research have been targeted at each project or individual, not through the Seismological Bureau, because

I'm afraid that the donated materials and funds will eventually become nice cars for officials of the Seismological Bureau and extra benefits for tens of thousands of employees." Fang Mingyuan said, "However, this also has obvious disadvantages. There is no leader.

, these research projects seem a bit scattered, with a hammer in one place and a stick in the other.”

Lu Chaofa felt his cheeks feel a little hot, but at the same time there was a glimmer of hope in his heart. What did Fang Mingyuan mean by these words?

""The Great Tangshan Earthquake" is about to premiere in Tangshan. I wonder if Professor Lu is interested in participating?" Fang Mingyuan raised his glass and said, "If Professor Lu is interested, you might as well invite a few directors of the International Seismological Center on my behalf.

Come and join us."

Lu Chaofa was a little confused. Although the Tangshan Earthquake was well known to everyone in the international seismological community, and its seismic data could be said to be familiar to everyone, "Tangshan Earthquake" was, after all, a movie. What's the point of doing it yourself? Moreover,

Do you want to invite the directors of the International Seismological Center to go together?

"In the past few years, there have been many earthquakes around the world, including many strong earthquakes that caused heavy casualties. Some friends and I have decided to set up a foundation. We want to contribute to earthquake science research and post-disaster humanitarianism.

We have already thought of a name for "Earthquake Without Borders Foundation." Fang Mingyuan took a sip of wine and said leisurely, "We hope to form a partnership with the International Earthquake Center to ensure that the funds and materials of the foundation can be used."

Use it on the blade. I wonder if the International Seismological Center will be interested?" Lu Chaofa suddenly stood up, his movements were so agile that he was not at all like a man who was over fifty years old, and Fang Mingyuan was shocked.

"Young Master Fang, are you serious?" Lu Chaofa shouted with some excitement. This is a huge surprise! Fang Mingyuan and some friends are going to set up a foundation. Those who can be called friends by Fang Mingyuan must be

He is not an ordinary person. How can a foundation established by such a group of people be small in scale? Not to mention that Fang Mingyuan is one of the founders, but with his influence, he will definitely strive for more funds for China in the future!

Moreover, Lu Chaofa also thought about it. Fang Mingyuan asked himself to invite the directors of the International Seismological Center to come to China. If in the end, Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation really formed a partnership with the International Seismological Center, this would be helpful for improving his own position in the International Seismological Center.

Its status in China also has great benefits. Although China is a big country and an earthquake-prone country, its status in the international seismic center is not high. The level of earthquake research is not as good as others, and the financial support given to the international seismic center is not as developed as others.

Can the country have a high status in this kind of international non-governmental organization? The improvement of its status in the international earthquake center is that it can make it more convenient for domestic scholars and experts to communicate and learn with international colleagues. It can also make the international community

The Earthquake Center provides better and faster accurate data services and consulting services to the country!

"How could I joke with you, Professor Lu, about this kind of thing?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "But I am still working on this matter. Professor Lu, please don't leak the news, or I will be annoyed to death.

.”

"That's right, that's right, I understand!" Lu Chaofa nodded repeatedly. When no matter how much money is invested in basic subject research, it is not enough, internationally renowned scholars have to spend a lot of time every year.

To raise funds, if they had known in advance about the establishment of the big pie called Earthquakes Without Borders, there would have been as many people wanting to get a piece of the pie as flies that have smelled the stench.

Lu Chaofa calmed down and sat down. However, at this time, he was particularly pleased with Fang Mingyuan. Rich people in China will also do some charity activities when they have money, but very few people invest in basic subject research.

.However, this cannot be blamed on these people. When they do charity, they also rely on performance and results. Basic subject research, every project can be said to be a big money grabber. If they fail to produce a sensational result in ten or eight years, they will not be able to produce a sensational result.

It is a completely normal thing. In contrast, if you only need to spend one-tenth of the money to fund poverty-stricken areas, it can be said that the social attention received far exceeds funding for basic subject research.

"Earthquakes Without Borders' future financial support for earthquake research and humanitarian disaster relief assistance will be global. I will also work hard to win more support for our country, but there are also some problems that need to be solved.

At that time, Professor Lu may also need strong support." Fang Mingyuan continued.

Lu Chaofa pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Young Master Fang is referring to...the transparency of the use of aid funds and materials?"

"Well, this is a very troublesome matter. Professor Lu must also know that our Fang family has established a Haiping Charity Foundation, so I have some understanding of the current situation of domestic charity." Fang Mingyuan sighed helplessly.

, "The future funds of the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation will come from many countries around the world. Many countries have detailed and clear regulations on the use of foundation funds, and the transparency and verifiability of the use of funds and materials are a priority.

International practice! And in our country, the use of disaster relief donations... Hehe, it is just a confusing account!" Lu Chaofa nodded. In China, the use of donations is not only a confusing account, but to say it is a confusing account is to put it mildly.

A large amount of donations were deposited into government accounts. As for what they were ultimately used for, and whether they really fell into the hands of the victims, the donors had no idea.

"If this cannot be changed, the funds and materials used for disaster relief by the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation will not be able to enter the country smoothly. I am now working hard to discuss with the above, hoping to find a reassuring cooperation fund in the country.

We will cooperate, but funds and materials cannot directly enter the government account. This is a necessary prerequisite." Fang Mingyuan said, "Otherwise, it will be impossible to explain to other founders and donors of the foundation." Lu Chaofa nodded,

This is indeed an unavoidable question.

When Lu Chaofa walked out of the Fang family's house, it was already close to 11:30 in the evening. He was so thirsty that he drank a lot of water today. After he got in the car, he realized that his cheeks were a little sore.

After communicating all afternoon and all night, he should be quite tired, but at this time his brain was extremely excited.

Since the establishment of the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation, the initial capital will be no less than one billion U.S. dollars, and at least 100 million U.S. dollars will be used to support earthquake research every year.

One percent, if it can fall into the country, it is a huge amount of 60 to 70 million yuan. And Fang Mingyuan also promised that Lu Chaofa will be eligible to vote in the selection process of research projects in the future. This will undoubtedly make him

Its status in the domestic academic community will be further improved and it will have greater influence.

Lu Chaofa is not so happy because his status has risen, but in the country, without a high enough status, he does not have enough voice! If these precious funds are not to be wasted by those bureaucratic scholars, let them fall into the

To go where it is really needed, he must have a higher academic status!

Lu Chaofa looked at the time and made some mental calculations. After returning, he would call the director he had made friends with at the International Earthquake Center as soon as possible! (To be continued.)
