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, welcome. After Xu Zhi saw the visitor, he greeted him with a smile, and he got the news yesterday afternoon that the Ministry of Civil Affairs would send a high-level to negotiate with him today.

Minister Lin shook hands with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu is polite." ”

"You may be seated!"

The two sat down, and Minister Lin said: "Yesterday, the ministry knew that Mr. Xu intended to make charitable donations in China, and attached great importance to it, so I specially arranged for me to come and talk to Mr. Xu to strive for a perfect cooperation. ”

Charity is nothing new in the current mainland, and 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' Fund, was established to devote itself to children's education and welfare......

The most famous "Hope Project" project actually came from the "Youth Development Foundation", which was established in 1989.

It is very simple to set up a charitable foundation, but the funds and resources needed for development need to be vigorously invested, and the current government funds are not abundant, so the major foundations accept donations from the private sector and overseas Chinese.

Xu Zhi pondered his words for a moment and asked tentatively: "Minister Lin, I wonder if it is possible to establish a privately established charitable fund 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, the charity fund needs to accept social donations and supervision, if it is controlled by a private person, then I am afraid that there will be problems with various accounts?"

"However, in Europe and the United States, even Japan and Hong Kong, the main force in philanthropy has always been private foundations. Xu Zhi shook his head and said.

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

"Okay, if you're worried about the opacity of donations, then I can promise that the fund I set up doesn't accept any external donations, and only my side will provide funds, how about that?" Xu Zhixiao asked.

"In this case...... Minister Lin thought for a while and said, "I can report Mr. Xu's ideas, and I can't control whether it can be passed or not." ”

"Okay, thank you Minister Lin. Xu Zhidao.

Minister Lin then asked, "Mr. Xu, I don't know what kind of charity you plan to do?"

"That's right, 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 China for countless years, and the Ministry of Public Security also vigorously cracked down on it in the early years, but it quickly resurfaced after the crackdown, and the residual poison was not exhausted. Minister Lin also hated this kind of thing: "Mr. Xu, the fund you want to set up is intended to target this kind of orphans and trafficked children?"

"Yes, but that's just one of them. Xu Zhi said: "I will build orphanages in some cities to help some children rescued by the police, and at the same time, I plan to build a modern Western database in Beijing, use supercomputers and supporting software to match data for families who have lost children and rescued children across the country, and use high-tech technology to help them regain their families!"

This technology is very common in later generations, and many families also rely on data comparison to find their children, of course, now is not the Internet era after all, everyone can access the Internet, in terms of efficiency, it is certainly not comparable to later generations, but it is far more than the current artificial matching.

"Supercomputer?" Minister Lin was a little short-circuited, he had heard of this thing, and some time ago the ministry also discussed the use of electronic databases to process domestic demographic data, but the data was too large, requiring a large number of servers, and too much foreign exchange, and finally it was not done.

However, he still reacted quickly and said with a smile: "It's a good idea to be able to use high technology to solve the problem, but this involves some information from the public security department, I'm afraid it's ......." ”

"Minister Lin, I don't need to know this data, all the databases and supercomputers can be operated by people from the government departments, and I will provide some support from software engineers. Xu Zhi explained, "This aspect is not controlled by the Foundation, we only provide some help. ”

Supercomputers are simple, and software development also requires a lot of engineers to design algorithms, and a lot of subsequent maintenance, as well as more experience in practice to further optimize algorithms.

However, the core of the cooperation is the cooperation of government departments, the report of missing families and the information of rescued children, these materials cannot be provided by the public security department to its own foreign fund, but the civil affairs department is in charge of the orphanage of the whole country, and can reasonably obtain these data.

"If that's the case, that's fine. Minister Lin also understood what Xu Zhi meant, that is, the other party provided advanced high-tech equipment to his department, and then used these to do charity, but in this case, of course he was willing, this is a real political achievement, and can help trafficked children go home, this is a good virtue, 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 just for money, and the source of this money is countless buyers, no matter how strict the law is, as long as there are buyers, then there will be people who take risks and do this kind of thing that people are angry about!"

"Mr. Xu wants to cut off this buyer's market?" Minister Lin was stunned and said: "According to my country's law, buying people is also a criminal offense, but the crime is much lighter than trafficking. ”

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

That is to say, no matter how serious the crime is, it is difficult to be caught, and there are many people who dare to commit crimes, on the contrary, even if the crime is not serious, but it is easy to be caught, then few people dare to commit crimes.

What's more, with the current literacy rate in the mainland, it is unrealistic for many people to not even know their own names to let them understand the law. ”

"Then what does Mr. Xu think?" asked Minister Lin.

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

Even in remote mountainous areas, people will exist in the form of villages, and these people have very little communication with the outside world, but they are closer to each other, that is, once a family buys a child, it may not be clear to outsiders, but it is impossible for people who live nearby not to know.

As long as the money is in place, the public security department's confidentiality system is strict, and there is a legal huge income, and it can also save people, I don't believe that there are so many people in a village, and there will be people who are not moved. ”

"This method ......," Minister Lin frowned, thought for a moment and said, "In theory, it works, but in practice, it involves a lot of official departments. ”

"Therefore, in this regard, Minister Lin needs more help and discuss various details with the public security department. "The public security department is not involved in business, so Xu Zhi did not go directly to them, so as not to commit a taboo.

Managing population issues is the function of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it is most reasonable for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take the lead in carrying out this project.

"Mr. Xu is polite, if this matter can really be successful, it will be able to save thousands of families, the merit is immeasurable, and it is also an honor for me to be involved. Minister Lin said sincerely: "It's just that if Mr. Xu's plan really covers the whole country, the funds needed are not small?"

"Money, it's not a problem!" Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "And I'm going to focus on some poor areas, and medium and large cities are not within the scope of the plan." ”

From the 80s to the 90s, the city's household registration management was relatively strict, and it was also a key place to monitor the family planning policy.

As a result, the Foundation's main focus is on underdeveloped regions, where patriarchal preference is rampant, parental authority is arranged, and disregard for the rights of women and children nourishes hotbeds of population crime.

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

"The exact amount should be decided according to the income of different places, and if the project can be established, the issue will be discussed. Xu Zhidao: "But how to convey this information to the whole country, I need the help of Minister Lin." ”

The immediate purpose of the charity fund is indeed to save some trafficked children, but in order to have the greatest effect, it still needs a lot of publicity to let everyone know that if they dare to buy children, they will face the threat of being reported, and curb the entire domestic buyer's market.

Based on the current income situation in China, a normal worker earns almost 1,000 yuan a year, while an ordinary farmer may earn less than one-tenth, and even if the reward for reporting is increased to 1,000 yuan, the extra funds needed for 10,000 reported cases a year are only 10 million.

And the amount of the prize money should not be too high, too high, maybe it will cause some people to covet it. Balance is the most important thing, so that ordinary people can want to be red-eyed, and those who have the ability do not need to break the law and plan.

However, the investment in the publicity of the foundation is not only a matter of cost, in this era, most rural families do not have televisions, even through advertising, there is no way to disseminate all the information, so the only way is through the channels of government departments, from top to bottom.

"It's really not appropriate to tell everyone in a big way about this part of the publicity, 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 Lim made a commitment.

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

"Mr. Xu, you're welcome. Minister Lin said: "It is what I should do to be able to do some practical things for the people, and when I go back, I will immediately sort out the information in this area and report this matter as soon as possible." ”

This matter involves a lot of aspects, and Heung Kong Capital wants to set up a charitable fund in China, which involves ideology and cross-departmental cooperation, and must be approved by the above.

"Then I'll wait for good news. Xu Zhihaha laughed.
