The Industrial Giant Reborn

On the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the holiday was over, Chen Zhiwen immediately asked An Qi to call Li Haonan after returning to the office.

"Chen Sheng, what do you mean we should set up our own charity fund?" After listening to the boss's description, Li Haonan immediately understood the meaning.

"Yes, we do it ourselves and set up the corresponding company. I will be responsible for the initial funds, and we can also raise donations from the society in the future." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "I don't trust other people, not that everyone is It’s bad, but there are too many people in this link, and if the money is given to others, it will be difficult to control.”

It is not ruled out that there are still many people in this world who sincerely sacrifice their lives for charity, kindness, or even for others. For example, in the previous life, Chen Zhiwen knew a friend who took the initiative to go to Africa to be a doctor without borders. That year was 2014 In 1999, the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.

But there are more hypocritical people, especially those who are not at the grassroots level. The grassroots are completely different from them.

"It's okay if you manage it yourself, so what is the main direction of this charity fund?" Li Haonan asked.

"Children's education, children's medical care, this is our first direction. It is best to discuss with the Hong Kong government. In those remote places in Kowloon, we will pay for the construction of schools. It is best to let the Hong Kong government solve the problem of teachers. .” Chen Zhiwen said.

He had thought about this a long time ago. The concept of charity is too big. Treatment, education, poverty alleviation, elderly care, road building and bridge building, and even tree planting are all considered charity. There will be many small items in it, and each small item is important. A lot of money is needed.

Few people have the ability to cover all categories, even the country is difficult, but which one to do first and which one is the most important will make people extremely entangled, especially those who are capable and sincerely want to do charity.

Supporting the cost of one child's college education may save the lives of hundreds of children caught in a famine crisis. Which of these two charities is more important?

Unable to answer.

That's why the International Charity Foundation has made it clear: "There is no priority in charity."

Because if there is, there will be great controversy, so as long as anyone does charity, no matter what kind of charity it is, it will do.

After much consideration, Chen Zhiwen chose to start with children. Relatively speaking, in Hong Kong, there are very few people who are really poor and cannot afford to eat. If it is the mainland in the future, it will be another matter.

"Building primary schools? This is not a problem. In many places in Hong Kong, students need to walk long distances to go to other schools. We must build more schools. The Hong Kong government will be willing to cooperate, just in terms of quantity?" Li Haonan asked.

"Let's build 5 first, and if it's not enough, we can add more." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said, Hong Kong is just a city, in fact, it doesn't need too many primary schools. Currently, there are more than 300 primary schools in Hong Kong, and it is impossible to build them by ourselves. Dozens of seats will exceed actual needs.

"The name of the primary school, what is it?" Li Haonan then asked.

"How about Zhiwen Primary School?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. After having the idea of ​​building a primary school in his mind yesterday, he didn't care about the name at first, but suddenly found that the last two digits of his name seem to be quite suitable for the name of the school: "Zhiwen".

"Zhiwen, what a good name, the chairman's name is not awkward to put in front of the school, it's natural." Li Haonan thought about it, smiled and said.

"Let's get famous first. If the words Zhiwen Primary School can become a signboard, it will be much easier for our charity fund to raise funds in the future." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

I have always thought that for future planning, even in the familiar business field, there is only a general direction. How to do it, you will not know until you have a time limit. The same is true for charity. The investment in charity in the future will definitely not be low. The main location must also be in the Mainland, but how to do this charity? Chen Zhiwen hadn't thought about which field to prefer.

But the "Zhiwen Primary School" project, if there is one or several Zhiwen Primary Schools in every county in China in the future, it may have very exciting significance.

If this can be achieved, maybe this matter can also leave a mark in history.

Of course, primary schools belong to primary schools, and those that should be invested in other charitable fields will still be invested.

"Then our charity fund is also called Zhiwen Fund?" Li Haonan asked.

"This is not very good, right? The name is a bit weird. It is better not to link the charity fund with the name of the person. Our fund will also need to raise funds from the society in the future. Why not call it the China Hong Kong Fund, China Hong Kong, and the main direction in the future will be the Chinese. " Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said. It might be better to call it Towngas China, but there is already a company in Hong Kong called Towngas China, with the same name, which is prone to conflicts.

"Huagang Fund? This name is easy to remember." Li Haonan admired the boss's ability to choose a name.

"That's how it is, but in order to become popular, we can claim that in the next ten years, we will invest more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in charity. With this figure, we can definitely gain unprecedented attraction." Chen Zhiwen said.

"100 million Hong Kong dollars? Isn't that too much?" Li Haonan was taken aback. 100 million is a shocking number.

"Not much, 100 million is for the media to see, and ten years is the most important number in it." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

Today's 100 million Hong Kong dollars, not to mention Hong Kong, even in the United States, is a huge amount of money, but ten years later, the value will be greatly reduced. In Hong Kong now, there are only a handful of people worth hundreds of millions, but ten years later, or It is said that at the peak of real estate in 1982, anyone who owned a street was worth hundreds of millions.

This is not only a problem of inflation, but also the result of the faster development of the real estate market: the relative depreciation of the currency is more serious. On the other hand, for the rich, the economic explosion will only make these people People are richer. In the original history, Li Jiacheng’s worth in 1975 was only about 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and his Cheung Kong’s market value was 300-400 million Hong Kong dollars. In 1985, Li Jiacheng controlled Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa. , Hong Kong Electric Group, the combined market value of the three has exceeded 10 billion, and the personal assets are estimated to be around 2-3 billion.

This is the so-called rich get richer, and Chen Zhiwen, who holds the stocks of Hutchison Whampoa, Midea, Red Bull, Costco and Wal-Mart, will far exceed the growth rate of Li Jiacheng in history in ten years.

Asking Chen Zhiwen to get 100 million now is a hundred times more difficult than getting 100 million ten years later.

"In this case, it will really be very effective. As long as we buy some media, we will definitely make Chen Sheng the number one charity in Hong Kong." Li Haonan said with a smile.

"Publicity is one aspect. Charity still needs to be really done. The budget for the first year should be 5 million Hong Kong dollars. This money must be really spent." Chen Zhiwen said.

PS: Regarding the name, I really didn’t care. I just picked one. I just found out about the situation of the One Foundation. The content of the article has been changed. The title does not have permission at present. I will edit it tonight after giving permission.
