Chapter 607 Bill takes the blame
"It's hard to believe, isn't it?" Yushan Jingwei said calmly. This guy's reaction was good, and he actually thought of it with him so quickly! After Yushan Jingwei finally came to this conclusion, he was really surprised for a long time.
.However, what follows is nothing. After all, Fang Mingyuan has several criminal records, and he is strangely sensitive to earthquakes. But now, no matter which country he is, including the United States, he will never dare to force it.
"Taking him down" to study where his strange sensitivity comes from.
Yushan couldn't help but sigh again, why is Fang Mingyuan not a Japanese? If he were a Japanese, the Chinese people would worship him like a god, as long as he could send out an earthquake one or two hours in advance when a major earthquake comes.
Early warning is good. Obviously, this should not be difficult for Fang Mingyuan. If there is a major earthquake in Shu Province in China, or in the neighboring provinces of Shu Province, he would have known about it at least half a year to a year ago.
However, who can say that earthquakes are 100% accurate until they occur? Human beings cannot even predict weather accurately within three days, let alone earthquakes!
Moreover, China has a large population, and Shu Province is even more populous. Relocating residents in areas where earthquakes may occur in advance will put financial pressure on China, not to mention the Japanese government. Therefore, adopting this strategy is a helpless move.
"It is indeed unbelievable, but if it is Fang Jun, there is nothing surprising." Masao Iwata quickly calmed down and said, "This only proves that Fang Jun does have an amazing attitude toward earthquakes.
Envious sensibility.”
"That's why we have to win over Fang Jun. Maybe in the future... the tragedy of the Kobe Earthquake will not happen again." Yushan sighed quietly. Humans living on the mainland will never fully understand this.
.Human beings who have lived on islands with frequent earthquakes and volcanoes for generations have a sense of precarious crisis.
The premiere of "Dangsan Earthquake" kicked off at 1:30 p.m. The Dangsan Stadium, located in the center of Dangsan, which can accommodate 15,000 people, started traffic control after 9:30 a.m., except for special vehicles
Vehicles related to the premiere and other vehicles must be detoured.
"Such a grand occasion has not happened in Tangshan City for many years." Ling Haozhong stood in the stands of the stadium and looked at the busy staff in the stadium who were making final preparations before the opening. He was deeply moved.
"Yes. Some people have already said that the global attention of this premiere will be second only to the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games this year." Li Huafeng said with a smile, "To be honest, I personally agree with this statement.
However, many people say that the ticket price is too expensive." If you want to enter the Tangshan Stadium to attend the premiere in person, you need to buy a ticket, and the ticket price ranges from 300 to 5,000. Such a price is very expensive for people in 2008.
For the vast majority of Chinese people, it must be a heavy burden, but in order to limit the number of people coming, Jijing Cultural Exchange Co., Ltd. can only do this. Even so, these tickets for global sale are still sold in an instant
Empty.
"I think the price offered by Jijing Cultural Exchange Co., Ltd. is not excessive compared to many concerts in China." Shi Chuan, director of the Propaganda Department of Tangshan City, said with a smile. During the premiere, there were also guests from China
, many stars from Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States performed on stage. They included many famous stars that are familiar to Chinese people, such as the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong, Japan’s Heisei Three Diva, Korean Myth, Europe and America’s Avril Lavigne, Linkin Park, etc.
Wait, wait.
"How much will Jijing Cultural Exchange Co., Ltd. pay for this?" Ling Haozhong frowned and said, "Do you want the city to make up for it? After all, we also got excellent publicity from it. Moreover, Mr. Shi will also give all the ticket money
All were donated to our civil affairs department for living allowances for the disabled in the earthquake that year." Although the municipal finance of Tangshan City is not rich at all, Ling Haozhong feels that we cannot just let Jijing Cultural Exchange Co., Ltd. and his family pay.
If so, who else would be willing to hold similar events in the future? Such publicity would be more effective for Tangshan City than spending a lot of money on advertising in Huaxia Taiwan!
"The city has mentioned it. Jijing Cultural Exchange Co., Ltd. said that for the performance, except for the stage decoration, no money was paid. These stars performed for free. If we feel really sorry, we will put Tangshan Stadium and Tangshan City together
It would be great if the usage fee for the auditorium is waived." Li Huafeng said with a smile, "Actually, we don't charge for Tangshan Stadium and Tangshan Auditorium."
"Are they all free performances?" Ling Haozhong asked in surprise. Although he didn't care about the concerts, he also knew that the appearance fees for these stars whose names he even knew were not cheap at all. This was held in a city in the south.
At a certain ceremony, a Hong Kong actor sang two songs on stage and was charged more than one million yuan, and that was after-tax income. Compared with these international celebrities, his fame is not at the same level.
"Yes, free performance." Li Huafeng nodded affirmatively. Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has now been involved in many areas of the entertainment industry, and its famous singers will naturally not miss this opportunity to promote to the world.
For other celebrities to be able to perform at such a globally-regarded event, it is also a great opportunity for their careers. With so many internationally renowned stars gathering on one platform, this is extremely rare in the global entertainment industry.
A rare event!
"Isn't that just like our Spring Festival Gala performance?" Ling Haozhong said with enlightenment after listening to the explanation.
"Well, it's the same overseas. Some performances in events with extremely high ratings and high media attention include performances by world-renowned celebrities for free, because the organizers don't worry at all that no one is willing to perform on stage for free."
Shi Chuandao said, "For example, the Olympic Games and the Super Bowl in the United States."
"Well, Huafeng, the civil affairs department needs to keep an eye on it. This amount of money must be earmarked for a special purpose, and no one can find any fault with it!" Ling Haozhong reminded that the total ticket price for the premiere was as high as 700 yuan.
More than 400,000 yuan was handed over to the civil affairs department of Tangshan City by Jijing Cultural Exchange Co., Ltd. as early as a week ago.
"Yes, I understand. If you lose face, you will lose it to the whole world." Li Huafeng nodded. He didn't need Ling Haozhong to remind him of the stakes involved.
"There is also the security work, which must be ensured!" Ling Haozhong emphasized that there were too many famous people and big shots attending this premiere. If anything went wrong on the scene, it would be a big trouble.
"Not only has the city's police force been fully mobilized, but the province has also supported us with almost 500 police forces. If it is still needed, we can also urgently mobilize some police forces from Jincheng and Beijing. We are all ready." Li Huafeng
road.
"During the premiere, there may be a lot of spectators gathered outside the stadium. We must be careful not to cause commotion and ensure the safety of the spectators!" Ling Haozhong was referring to the square outside the stadium. Tangshan has also held some football matches in the past.
Ling Haozhong was deeply impressed by the huge crowds of people in the square during important events.
"Mingyuan. It's only been one night. How come the number of Japanese people applying to join the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation suddenly increased so much!" Zheng Jiayi frowned slightly, looked at the latest information she got, and asked Fang Mingyuan.
.
"Huh? Show me!" Fang Mingyuan reached out and took the information in her hand, flipped through a few pages, frowned, and said for a long time, "It must be that old fox Yushan Jingwei who pulled some tricks!" Apply
Among the Japanese who participate in the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation, it can be seen from their job titles that many of them are closely related to the Mitsui Zaibatsu.
"I did some statistics. As of 9:30, more than 200 people have applied to join the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation. Among them, there are almost 70 people from China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, more than 40 people from Japan, and two from South Korea.
Nineteen people, and the rest are from European and American countries." Zheng Jiayi said, "If we go at this rate, by the time you officially announce the establishment of this foundation, the number of people may be close to three hundred."
"It doesn't matter, Yushan Jingwei knows that old fox and won't overdo it and provoke our backlash. Moreover, Japan is also a country prone to earthquakes. It is normal for more people to be willing to participate." Fang Mingyuan pondered for a while and said, "
Don’t pay attention to him for now.”
"Oh!" Zheng Jiayi put away the information and said with a smile, "This golden signboard of yours is really useful, but in just a few days, the number of applicants for the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation has exceeded 200, which is a bit excessive.
Our expectations have been met." In fact, Fan Mingyuan's original idea was not to do something so big. He was to gather his allies in various countries to jointly set up this foundation. Although each person only paid 10 million U.S. dollars, he could make up 500 million to 600 million U.S. dollars.
The U.S. dollar should not be a big problem. An emerging foundation can have five or six billion U.S. dollars in funds from the time of its establishment. Looking at the world, it is considered to be quite large, and then it continues to attract members. As a result, so many political circles and
Big bosses in the economic world came to attend the premiere. Fang Mingyuan naturally mentioned a few words in passing in the past few days about his intention to announce the establishment of the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation at the premiere. As a result, with the help of everyone, more and more people
The more people express their willingness to become founding members of the foundation.
"Yeah, it's a bit more than expected." Fang Mingyuan said with a headache. The number of people exceeded expectations, so the foundation's draft charter probably has many areas that need to be negotiated and modified, and some of the original ideas are not very applicable. But generally speaking
, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages. The more people participate, the more funds the foundation will have in the future and the greater its influence.
"Now I feel that this number is not surprising at all. The threshold of ten million US dollars is certainly very high for ordinary people, but it is not unattainable for well-known figures in the economic circle.
By joining this foundation, you can establish cooperative relationships with so many big bosses around the world, including freaks like you, and you can also gain a global reputation through donations. This is comparable to joining those golf clubs or equestrian clubs.
It’s worth a lot more!” Zheng Jiayi chuckled.
"You mean the threshold for membership has been set low?" Fang Mingyuan reached out and pinched her cheek and said, "If it were not lower, how could so many people be able to make a decisive decision? I just didn't expect that it would happen so quickly.
With so many associate members, forget it, there will be someone who will be responsible for taking care of this matter in the future anyway, I will just set up the foundation and leave professional matters to the experts."
"You just dig holes and don't bury them again. Because of this, Sister Qiu Xia has been complaining about you for more than ten years. Why don't you show any signs of changing your problem?" Zheng Jiayi laughed and said, "This time, do you want to
Who should you blame this on? We are a mess here, and we don’t have the right people to take the blame for you."
"Bill, he is retiring soon anyway. He wants to devote more time to the global health and education projects of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and also manage the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation." Fang Mingyuan had no idea.
Hesitantly. He has already heard from Bill that starting from July this year, he will no longer be responsible for the daily management of the company. Although he still serves as chairman of the board of directors and consultant for key development projects, he no longer works full-time every week.
He only needs to spend one day to go to the company to deal with matters, and the rest of the time will be reserved for him personally, and he and his wife Melinda have decided to donate all their property worth 58 billion US dollars to the charitable foundation under their name.
——Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Bill has repeatedly proposed that Fang Mingyuan take over as chairman of the board of directors of Microsoft, so that he can retire more completely, but Fang Mingyuan refused without hesitation. He just wanted to be a shareholder behind the scenes and get money.
Okay. Let others worry about the daily management of Microsoft. He only needs to be responsible for "finding faults".
"Bill is retiring? He is... only fifty-three years old this year!" Zheng Jiayi said in surprise. She really didn't know that Bill had such a plan. For entrepreneurs, fifty years old is still the prime of life.
, there are many people in countries around the world who are still in charge of a company or business empire even at the age of seventy.
"Well, to be precise, he is going to retire from Microsoft and then go to work at the foundation established by the couple!" Fang Mingyuan chuckled, "Do you think he is going to enjoy a retirement life of eating and waiting to die? Bill can
Not that kind of person!" (To be continued.)
