Chapter 353: Assistance
The beautiful life secretary informed that the people from the charity foundation were already waiting, and Han Chudong asked them to come directly to the study.
The floor is covered with an expensive carpet, and when you look out of the window, you can see the exquisitely tended garden, as well as the lake and trees in the distance, and the historic sculptures scattered throughout, and the fountain sculptures by famous artists are based on the Greek gods.
Standing by the window smoking a cigar, Han Chudong turned his head when he heard the footsteps, and said with a smile on his face: "Nelson, long time no see, has the matter that you helped with is done?"
"You mean donating to Stanford University, and donating a university in Huaxia and Shanghai, right, there are some details that need your opinion before I can deal with them, I have met with the president of Stanford University, and he asked me to convey my gratitude to you, and will hang your name in the auditorium, and even name the teaching building, after you. ”
"Thank you very much, but it doesn't have to be too deliberate, and I don't donate to Stanford for the sake of it, as long as I make sure that the money is spent on the poor students who qualify, I'm already happy. Han Chudong plans to donate $10 million to Stanford University in the near future, and last year he also gave Harvard and Yale $5 million respectively to help poor students solve the problem of tuition.
As for the donation of the university to Huaxia, it can be regarded as a temporary idea, and he hopes that the two sides can deepen exchanges and not let the door that was finally opened close again.
He added to the old man named Nelson: "In addition to these things, I hope to take some more money out to sponsor some Chinese students to go to various universities for exchange and study, the quota is tentatively set at 300 students per year, you must be able to speak English, in addition to the tuition fee, I will also give a certain living allowance, when the time comes, say hello to the secretary of state, it shouldn't be a big problem, you can help me make a detailed plan, OK?"
"Of course, this is just a small thing, but I think it's better to keep a low profile, because of your status, it is likely to be used as a handle, as far as I know, there are a lot of Asian Americans who want to get tuition from you, and you get a bunch of letters and calls for help almost every day, and you selectively help some people, and more people will be unhappy. ”
Glancing at Nelson, Han Chudong shook his head and said: "I am optimistic about the Chinese market, and I am also investing in business over there, and using my own money to help others get education, which is not a big deal, not to mention that I should be able to get some subsidies from the officials over there, and I hope that the school can also reduce some tuition fees, you are only responsible for drawing up a specific plan, and I will communicate and solve the rest of the things." And also...... Get some engineers to help you design a highway over, about a hundred miles or so, and build it wherever it's needed. ”
Nelson didn't say much this time, mainly because the big brother is still there, the two countries are still in the honeymoon period, Han Chudong donated money and materials through this charitable trust institution, but it is not a big taboo, as long as it is not deliberately crooked by others, it is no problem.
However, whether it is ABC TV or NBC TV, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times, Han Chudong holds some shares, and in Nelson's opinion, no one should be stupid enough to make a fuss about such a painless trivial matter.
......
People who have not experienced the two eras before and after the reform and opening up are not easy to feel the changes brought about by the reform and opening up.
Han Chudong has been back three times, experienced it himself, witnessed it with his own eyes, and learned a lot of data that is not very optimistic.
It is a pity that the derailment has been too long, and now the distance between it and the developed countries is very far, just relying on the tactics of the sea of people to establish an industrial and agricultural system, according to the calculation of economic efficiency, whether it is the technical level, product quality, design, management level, are far away from the Western countries.
Therefore, in line with the idea of helping if he can, Han Chudong sent some home appliance production factories over, as well as a Maybelline and Dior rainbow production line, and at the same time personally acted as an example, trying to tell other businessmen that there was a large amount of labor to use, and hoped to use it to drive economic development.
Help cultivate the market first, it is possible to earn more profits in the future, which is a good thing for both sides, as for the gift of the expressway, it is because there is no expressway there, the motherland in Han Chudong's memory is a strong and prosperous country more than 30 years later, and it is difficult to overlap with the situation in his memory.
He has gone back to invest in 15 shopping malls, nine hotels, beauty, home appliances and other businesses, in addition to creating a fast-selling clothing brand, just to provide more employment opportunities, two years later, the four garment factories he invested in, a total of more than 5,000 workers, behind which more than 5,000 families have more opportunities to make money.
It is worth mentioning that this chain clothing store, named "Octopus" by Han Chudong, has really managed to gain a foothold in many states on the West Coast with its super low price.
Encountered a good time, whether Southeast Asia or Central America, South America, labor costs and prices are gradually rising, which gives Huaxia the opportunity to rely on a huge cheap labor market, to undertake the wave of manufacturing transfer, to be honest, every time Han Chu winter passes, there are no less suggestions, hoping to revitalize the entire economy through foreign funds, not like the big brother in the north, too big to fall, poor and poor.
Director Nelson thought that Han Chudong was planning to knock on the door of that market with the help of donations, and in recent years, the voice of investing in China has often been mentioned by American businessmen.
After a brief chat, he said that a detailed charter would be drawn up in the next few days, and after Han Chudong signed a few documents, he left his study immediately.
When he went out, Director Nelson accidentally bumped into a few people, wondering why the CEO of Ford would also come to Han Chudong's house, considering the strong strength of his boss, he also invested in some car companies, and felt that there might be a story in it, and immediately started the idea of buying some Ford shares.
Whether it is Lamborghini, which was the first investment, or Toyota Motor and Daimler-Benz Group, which later invested, with the economic recovery in recent years, they have brought a lot of profits to Han Chudong.
Knowing that Toyota still has room for growth, Han Chudong deliberately skipped it when selling the asset, and currently holds 16% of Toyota's shares, some of which are jointly held by Mason private equity investors.
Director Nelson guessed wrong, the reason why Ford's CEO came was not because Han Chudong wanted to invest in Ford, but because he wanted to develop a new car with Toyota through Han Chudong's relationship......
