Chapter 466: Troubles and Gains
Before the outbreak of the epidemic, Gu Mu had placed an order for 90 million masks from Haoqi Mask Factory, but most of those masks had been shipped abroad to various factories in Africa.
Only a small part of them are in China, and they also go to those affiliated companies under the Kingsoft Investment Company.
There is no shortage of masks on his side.
What's more, before the Chinese New Year, a mask factory was acquired at the fastest speed, although the production capacity is not as good as that of Haoqi Mask Factory, but it can also produce 1 million disposable anti-virus masks a day.
Even if there is a lack of masks, there will be no shortage of family members.
Jinshan Investment Company also donates masks every day, mainly to front-line epidemic prevention personnel in various places.
- They are all disposable anti-virus masks, which cannot be used by medical staff, and can only be used by the grassroots.
This epidemic would not have been able to be controlled without strict management at the grassroots level.
With a population of 1.4 billion, if it is not strictly controlled, once the virus spreads on a large scale, it will penetrate the country's medical system and the entire society will collapse.
– and the performance of those developed countries later proved this.
Those developed countries have better health care systems and more abundant living materials, but because there is no way to control the flow of people, they end up like that.
The same thing happened in developing countries, especially in densely populated developing countries, and the catastrophe can be imagined.
Relying on his huge wealth and the wife of three generations of the family, Gu Mu already has a certain status, and his ability to resist pressure is stronger, and he can resist some requests for masks.
Fang Hao is just a traffic star, he can't talk about any social status, and there is no way to refuse many requests.
However, his mask factory is a leading enterprise in the industry, and there are too many eyes on him, which brings him great pressure.
He sometimes wants to cry aggrieved - why is this happening? Obviously he is doing a good deed, donating all the masks for free, why do he have to bear so much pressure?
For his doubts, Liu Qing can only explain it with "the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty".
Of course, it's not that he did anything wrong, but that he shouldn't have such a mask factory that has become a leader in the industry.
When it's okay, no one pays attention, and once something happens, the eyes of the whole country are sucked in.
What's more, Fang Hao is so high-profile on the Internet, donating here and there.
The high profile can bring him a lot of benefits as a traffic star, but there will be no less trouble with it.
To be honest, Fang Hao did not lose money in this free donation show.
His e-book "African Stories" has sold more than 400 million yuan, a record that is unlikely to be broken for a long time.
The income brought to Fang Hao far exceeded the value of the masks he donated for free.
And it's not just one book that has seen Africa, and the sales of several other e-books have increased significantly after this charity show.
This is how the public reciprocated his charitable act of donating masks.
As for the later benefits brought by personal word-of-mouth, it is impossible to calculate.
Although I offended some people because of the mask problem, I also made some friends, and on the whole, it was worth it.
It's just that in order to have a better rest, Fang Hao has to turn off his mobile phone at night, so that he won't be woken up in the middle of the night.
He is not the only one who has turned off his mobile phone, but also Ye Wenwen, Guo Miaomiao, and even Qu Wan'er.
- Fang Hao's private secrets are only a secret to the public, and for some people, they are really not secrets. Qiyin
I feel like I have a headache, but I can't help it.
After the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, more and more mask factories began to start, and the production capacity was increasing every day, and the pressure on Fang Hao's side was gradually reduced.
At this time, one of the things that the society is most concerned about is the distribution of those medical supplies donated by Jiangcheng.
There is a big problem with distribution, which is visible to everyone.
Sometimes it's not so much about the lack of protective materials, it's about not being distributed.
This has also caused a whole society to resent a certain charity.
There are a number of private charities that have come forward, including many charities hosted by celebrities.
Some are not willing to stand up, but are pushed out by the public.
After that happened, many people on the Internet were calling on Fang Hao to make a charity fund, and everyone could donate money and materials.
After all, Fang Hao's performance in this epidemic is the most eye-catching one among the stars.
- He doesn't have a charity fund of his own, so he donates so many masks for free with his lofty consciousness.
Someone has calculated that according to the current price of masks, the value of the masks donated by Fang Hao these days has exceeded 200 million.
No star can do this.
Even among entrepreneurs, there are not many who can do this in terms of amount.
Obviously, compared with other stars who make a show, Fang Hao, a star who has donated a lot of physical objects, is more worthy of everyone's trust.
The worse a charity performs, the louder the call for Fang Hao to set up a charitable fund.
Even Liu Qing couldn't help but persuade Fang Hao to set up such a charitable fund.
The charity fund is so lucrative.
You can earn fame and make real money.
According to his assessment, in the current situation, if Fang Hao takes the lead in setting up a charitable foundation, he can quickly absorb more than one billion donations.
Anyone who knows anything about the charity industry can know that as long as it works well, half of those donations can go into their pockets.
There are simply too many ways to circumvent audits.
However, Fang Hao rejected such a suggestion.
——A long time ago, Gu Mu told him about the catty in the charity industry, the huge profits that can be obtained, and the huge risks that exist in it.
He still has a long way to go, and there is no need to risk losing his reputation to join the industry when it is time to quit the circle.
The profits in this industry are too great, and there are too many people who are red-eyed.
Even if he doesn't have any selfish motives during this pandemic, there will be many people with a magnifying glass to find fault with the problems in his charity team.
At that time, even if there is a problem with the price of a bottle of mineral water, it will become a black spot for everyone to attack him.
There is no need to take that risk.
- If it was for that money, he might as well sell his mask factory directly to Gu Mu for 1 billion, and there would be no risk.
Of course, when his traffic road comes to an end, whether he will finally use his aperture to enter the industry is another story.
