1. "Veterans don't die?"

Hearing this phrase for the first time, Wei Lan asked with some surprise, "Are you going to make it a nationwide charity event?"

Li Mu nodded and said, " When I was in the United States, I told you that American society has been very stable for hundreds of years, and the welfare system is relatively perfect, so they basically have a more appropriate placement of veterans of World War II, but our situation in China is relatively special, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, followed by a few years of the War of Liberation, the alternation of the two regimes, many problems must not be taken into account, not to mention, just the household registration statistics are difficult to improve, and then there are various movements one after another, I don't know how many Anti-Japanese War veterans returned to their hometowns after the war, these people are very likely to be scattered in the towns and villages of Tiannan and Haibei, and those veterans who are still alive may not be able to live well。 ”

Wei Lan thought seriously for a moment, and said to Li Mu: "I understand what you mean, and it is true that there may be thousands of veterans of the Anti-Japanese War who are struggling to survive, but if you want to find those veterans who have no official records and no information to corroborate across the country, this workload is too huge, if you want to work quickly and efficiently, you must have a large team to support you." ”

"That's right. Li Mu sighed: "The biggest problem is the team, and the operation mode of this team must adopt the way of volunteers, otherwise, it will be difficult for this public welfare activity to really continue." ”

Speaking, Li Mu explained: "To do this kind of public welfare, we must let those who really have a public welfare heart participate, and simply rely on the way of paying wages and recruiting employees to do public welfare, which can only be anticlimactic, so my initial plan is to formulate a public welfare publicity plan, including the slogan, positioning, and positioning of this public welfare activity. And the implementation of the plan, and then we find an operational talent who understands publicity, so that he can promote our public welfare program to the whole society, while recruiting volunteers, while collecting information from the whole society, if we can have a volunteer team of at least ten people in each prefecture-level city, then our future work will be very good. ”

Wei Lan asked: "If there are volunteers, then what is the specific implementation process next? How to find the veterans, how to confirm after finding them, how to help them after confirmation, have you thought about these?"

Li Mu nodded and said: "I have thought about it, there are two ways to find veterans, one is that we release information to the whole society, and veterans and their families, friends, and neighbors can get in touch with us, and then we send volunteers to verify; ”

"As for how to help, what I am thinking about for the time being is that I, Makino Technology, Taobao Technology and Alipay jointly funded the establishment of a fund to care for veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, with a starting capital of 100 million yuan, and then we will produce some promotional materials that can move people, promote them through various channels, attract social attention and build momentum. Hold a charity dinner with the same theme, invite some entrepreneurs and celebrities to participate, and then call on them to donate. ”

Speaking of this, Li Mu smiled helplessly and said: "In fact, you also know that many celebrities and entrepreneurs do charity, the fundamental motive is to change a good reputation, the premise of their decision to donate is this matter, or whether the donor has a certain social influence, if there is influence, many people will flock to donate, if there is no influence, maybe these people don't even bother to look at it, so if they want them to donate money willingly, you must first make this public welfare project popular." ”

Li Mu has seen too many such things in his later generations, especially on Weibo, many people who encounter difficulties send messages for help on Weibo, among which there are occasionally some people who are hyped by the media, and a large number of big V will immediately come out to express their stance and donate, in Li Mu's view, a considerable part of them are to make up the heat.

Therefore, if you want them to pay, you must first make the project hot enough.

In later generations, some celebrities set up their own charity funds, because of the influence of the stars themselves, so they attracted a large number of celebrities, celebrities, and entrepreneurs to donate, and also infected a large number of ordinary people to donate.

So, Li Mu said: "We can also open another public account to raise donations from the whole society, everyone can donate to this account, ten yuan and eight yuan, three yuan and five yuan, or even one piece or two, as long as everyone is willing to donate, it will be helpful to this public welfare undertaking." ”

"Bank transfers are relatively cumbersome. When I was in school, I donated money to the Hope Project several times, and each time I had to go to the bank to queue up, fill out the remittance form, and go to a trip basically within a few hours, which was very troublesome." ”

Li Mu patted his head and said, "Thanks to your reminder, I didn't even think of this problem." ”

Speaking, Li Mu said: "In fact, this is very easy to solve, I can go to cooperate with operators such as China Mobile and China Unicom to launch an SMS donation channel, as long as mobile phone users send the donation amount to the designated number, they can directly deduct this part of the cost from the phone bill, and then let the operator settle with us on a regular basis." ”

"At the same time, my Alipay can also open this service and open a special Alipay account for the foundation, and all Alipay users can donate to this Alipay account, which should be much more convenient than bank transfers. ”

Wei Lan exclaimed: "With so many good ideas coming up at once, I think your public welfare project will definitely be able to really do it." ”

After speaking, Wei Lan asked Li Mu again: "You haven't said yet, what kind of assistance are you going to give to the veterans who have confirmed their identities?"

Li Mu recalled the relevant information he had learned in his previous life, and it seems that in 2013, an authoritative organization made statistics, and the number of surviving veterans in the country at that time should be about 20,000, so now there are still ten years before 2013, and the number of veterans should be between 3-40,000.

Among the 30,000-40,000 people, not all of them need help, according to what Li Mu once understood, among the veterans of the People's Liberation Army, who have not made political mistakes and have no ingredient problems, they are basically taken care of by the state, and some veterans who were persecuted by various movements in the early years may now be more difficult, in addition, there are some veterans of the National Army who have stayed on the mainland, and may not have the opportunity to enjoy the same treatment as the veterans of the People's Liberation Army.

However, looking at these veterans from a modern perspective, no matter which unit they came from, they have shed blood for this nation in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and such veterans must be helped as long as they are still alive and as long as they are in difficulty.

Looking at it this way, it is estimated that there are about 20,000 people in need of help.

Li Mu didn't know if there was a subsistence allowance policy or the subsistence allowance standard, so he asked Wei Lan: "Do you know what the average annual income of farmers is now?"

Wei Lan thought for a while and said, "I've read the report before, it should be a little more than two thousand, and the town is a little more than five thousand." ”

Li Mu nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Assuming that we have 20,000 veterans to help for a long time, and each of them is subsidized according to the per capita annual income of the countryside, then we need about forty or fifty million per year, and if we take 100 million out, it can support two years." ”

Wei Lan said: "If you are forty or fifty million a year, this cost is indeed very large, and at present, the number of veterans is gradually decreasing, but the entire aid cycle will be about 20 years from now, so you must be modest, do charity to leave a certain space for yourself, do not take a big package, if you take a big package, not only this project you have to carry to the end, if there are other charitable needs in the society, I am afraid that the people will also kidnap you morally and let you carry it to the end, and then the burden on your body will become heavier and heavier." ”

As he spoke, Wei Lan sat cross-legged in front of Li Mu, crossed his fingers and calculated, "I'll calculate for you how much your project will cost first." You see, let's first determine a few data, temporarily set the cycle as 20 years, assuming that 50 million is invested in the first year, 5 million is invested in A in the last year, and the middle 18 years are declining at a uniform rate, then the sum of the head and tail is equal to 55 million, 55 million multiplied by 10, roughly calculated, this project needs a total of about 550 million funds. ”

Li Mu looked at Wei Lan with a serious face in astonishment, and asked her, "How did you calculate it, I don't seem to understand......

Wei Lan smiled slightly and said, "People who do engineering will do cost accounting, so the math is not bad." Let me ask you a question, do you know how much 1 plus 2 plus 3 until 100 is added?"

Li Mu shook his head: "Give me a calculator, or give me a computer, I can run a code, or pull an Excel and make a sum to calculate it, but mental arithmetic can't be calculated." ”

Wei Lan smiled: "Don't you always use the programmer's thinking to do everything, you see, from 1 to 100, a total of 100 numbers, and their increasing law is unified, all add 1, add 1, add 1, so we add the end, 1 + 100 is equal to 101, 2 + 99 is also equal to 101, 3 + 97 is still equal to 101, until 50 + 51 is still equal to 101, so how many such combinations are there that add up to 101?"

Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "50 groups!" I know, so add from 1 to 100, and the final result is 101 times 50, which is 5050, right?"

Wei Lan leaned over and kissed Li Mu on the face, and praised: "It's so smart!"

Li Mu smiled and said: "The smart person is you, not me! Your method of calculation is really too scientific! Please accept my knees!"
