Chapter 546: Learn from Li Mu
Li Mu invited Xiao Fangfang to sit down on the sofa in the reception area, and the two staff members who followed her said goodbye and left, Li Mu poured a cup of tea for Xiao Fangfang, Xiao Fangfang thanked her, and then said: " Mr. Li, to be honest, I have been very much looking forward to seeing you, I am old, it is not easy to go to the mainland last time, it is not too convenient to visit you in person to the mainland, I didn't expect the staff to check the list of Miss Du and her party a few days ago, there is really your name in it, I thought it was just a duplicate name at first, but after asking someone to inquire, I found out that the boss of Makino Imaging turned out to be you, so this time you can come to participate in the party of the seedling fund, I am really very happy.

Li Mu guessed that Xiao Fangfang should have a certain understanding of her own details, so she didn't hide it: "Don't hide it, Du Wei is my friend's sister and my company's contracted artist, she came to Hong Kong for the first time to participate in the event, I have to accompany her to rest assured." β
Xiao Fangfang nodded in understanding and said, " In fact, when I decided to invite Miss Du, I didn't know that Mr. Li you were the boss of Makino Image, I first paid attention to the 3321 Scholarship Fund for you, I have been doing the seedling fund for four years, and I have encountered a lot of problems in the middle, which once made me think that doing charity is one of the most difficult things in the world, but after understanding the model of 3321, I found that there is a good model, and doing charity can be very simple, and it can affect many people, 3321 gave me a lot of inspiration in charityγ β
Li Mu said modestly: "President Xiao, you have praised it. β
Xiao Fangfang waved her hands very seriously and said: " It's not a false praise at all, you don't know how difficult it is to do general charity, such as the seedling fund, every penny of the foundation, I have to show my old face to ask people for help everywhere, or ask some business owners to donate, or ask some celebrities to donate some unwanted things for charity sales, but business owners are very realistic, if I only need money, they are like sending flowers, donating tens of thousands or even thousands of mosquito money, if you want them to donate more, you must first make social influence, such as inviting some celebrities to do charity galas, charity bazaars, there is media attention, business owners are willing to donate more money, this kind of charity is to eat the last meal but not the next meal. β
Xiao Fangfang said this, sighed lightly, and said: "The funds of the seedling fund are often broken, and sometimes once broken, even the salaries of employees cannot be paid, this model is too unhealthy, far from being as smart as 3321, able to be self-sufficient, fully mobilize every role, and let them play their due role." β
Li Mu nodded, and said to her: "It's not a secret, 3321 can develop, it is a lot of coincidence, because it is facing college students and high school students, in the mainland, the college entrance examination is a major event that changes the fate of life, every student and student parents attach great importance to it, fresh candidates in the college entrance examination before the college entrance examination, there is a need for tutoring and tutoring, there is demand, will create the market, the market will create wealth, if such a model is transplanted to the seedling fund, I am afraid it will not work at all." β
Xiao Fangfang also nodded very approvingly: "I have understood this, 3321 does have its own market, so it can make the scale of charity so huge without asking anyone." β
After that, Xiao Fangfang looked at Li Mu and said: "So I really want to learn from you, and I also want you to help us design an advanced model for the seedling fund, for me, I hope that the seedling fund can develop forever and help those minors who have been or may be sexually violated, but if it really can't find a healthy development model, then it will die sooner or later." β
Li Mu felt embarrassed, he didn't know anything about charity at all, the reason why he did 3321 by mistake, is because of the National Day, Liu Nian was worried about not being able to find a tutor job, Li Mu has been on the Internet for many years, and is keenly aware of the single and unsmooth communication between supply and demand, so he tested the water and did 3321, but he didn't expect the results to be very good, and the follow-up vigorously promoted 3321, he was also mixed with a certain amount of selfishness, he hoped that 3321 could help him give birth to Alipay, a payment product against the sky.
All aspects fit, and in line with the right time and place, Li Mu can make 3321 bigger and stronger, if you really want him to do charity seriously, he can't make sense, first of all, the biggest problem is that if he can't solve the source of funds, he doesn't know where to get money.
Xiao Fangfang is a veteran star and has a very good popularity in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, so she can rely on her face to brush her face to get the support of celebrities and funds, and she can rely on her face to enhance the social visibility of the seedling fund, which is much stronger than her own resources, if she is not doing 3321, but making a charity fund with no profitability, he may only be able to throw his money into it, let him go out to find money, how can his face be as good as Xiao Fangfang?
However, Li Mu couldn't refuse the other party directly, saying that he couldn't do anything, after all, he was an old-timer in the entertainment industry, and he couldn't be so perfunctory to her.
After thinking about it, Li Mu asked her: "President Xiao, what is the current fixed monthly expenditure of the seedling protection fund?"
Xiao Fangfang said: "We have more than 20 full-time salaried employees, and more than 300 volunteers who help from time to time, together with our office space, business expenses and some other miscellaneous expenses, with a fixed monthly expenditure of around 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, but the largest expenditure is charity funds, and we have now sponsored more than 200 minors who have been sexually assaulted throughout Hong Kong to help them settle down. The whole plan expenditure for study and regular psychological counseling needs to reach more than 600,000 Hong Kong dollars per month, and under normal circumstances, funds will be tight every month, so our average expenditure on this item is about 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. β
Li Mu nodded, the expenditure of seven or eight hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars a month does not sound like much, but at the moment, the value of the Hong Kong dollar is a little higher than the yuan, seven or eight hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars is almost 100,000 US dollars, and the purchasing power is still very good.
In fact, charitable foundations all over the world are facing one of the most fundamental problems, and if nothing else, it is difficult to raise funds.
For large charitable funds, they have their own survival model, such as a billionaire like Bill Gates, who takes out hundreds of millions of dollars to make a charitable fund, the principal of this charitable fund is basically immovable, it will be used by the foundation to make appropriate financial investment, and then use the money earned from financial investment to do charity, that is, money makes money, only spends money on her son, and money will never be moved.
But this is a routine played by large charitable funds, even if hundreds of millions of dollars are thrown into the bank to get interest, there is less to say that there is a revenue of tens of millions of dollars a year, but for a small charity fund such as the seedling fund, there may not be a total of one million Hong Kong dollars on the books.
Xiao Fangfang said that the current account of the seedling fund is indeed only enough to support about a month's expenses, so she has to keep trying to find ways to find money in various ways, but the seedling fund has been in operation for almost four years, and the effect of brushing her face has begun to be greatly reducedγ
Although Li Mu doesn't understand charity, he clearly knows that the seedling fund itself has little ability to make money, and it is impossible to find a business model for it if he wants to break his head, so Li Mu is ready to temporarily divert this topic and say to Xiao Fangfang: "President Xiao, I will definitely think about what you said, but for a while, I am afraid that I will not be able to come up with a truly effective plan." β
Xiao Fangfang also nodded in understanding, and said: "This is not in a hurry, I can persist in the past four years, and I don't care about waiting for a while, but Mr. Li, I hope you can think about my request as an important matter, no matter what the result is, I Xiao Fangfang is grateful!"
Li Mu hurriedly said: "You are serious, this is what I should do, I will definitely think about it seriously." β
Xiao Fangfang smiled gratefully at Li Mu and said, "With your words, I am relieved." β
Li Mu nodded and asked her, "By the way, President Xiao, I have a question in my heart, and I want you to solve it." β
Xiao Fangfang said, "Mr. Li, please speak." β
Li Mu asked, "Why did the Seedling Care Foundation invite Du Wei to be a guest?"
Xiao Fangfang smiled slightly and said, " It's Leslie, I told him that it is too difficult to raise funds in Hong Kong, and I want to find an opportunity to enhance the influence of the Seedling Fund in the mainland, hoping to attract the attention of mainland businessmen or people, so I want to invite a mainland star to come over to participate in our charity party, I asked him to help think about whether there is a suitable candidate, if he can be moved, it would be better, I originally hoped that he could invite Gong Li, after all, the two of them have cooperated, but he recommended Du Wei with me, saying that he admired Miss Du's voice very much, and felt that she had the potential to become the next Ah Fei, so we sent an invitation to Makino Imageγ β
Li Mu wanted to ask her who Leslie was at first, but after listening to what she said later, he guessed that the Leslie she said was Zhang Guorong, which made him very surprised, although Du Wei is now famous in China, but she is still very young, and she has not had time to accumulate her heritage, her current works only have three songs and a micro-movie, how could it get into Zhang Guorong's eyes?
