Chapter 481: The Heart of Public Welfare

On the morning of the second day, Xiao Yang accompanied Luo Tianyou, secretary of the Jiangnan Municipal Party Committee, and Mayor Ma to the top of the river embankment, and it rained again today, although it was not too big, that is, the appearance of moderate rain, but it did not have the slightest intention of weakening or stopping, and according to the news from the Central Meteorological Observatory, Jiangnan Province should be prepared for flood control, and the continuous rain is estimated to cause the Yangtze River to rise sharply, and cities on both sides of the strait should be prepared for flooding. Starters

Luo Tianyou was wearing a poncho and refused the secretary to give him an umbrella, "Take care of yourself, I have hands and feet, I want you to give an umbrella, what will it look like." Luo Tianyou glanced at the secretary who was eager to perform, and said in his heart, don't you give me eye medicine, when is this, the fire is burning, and I am still playing here. Thinking about it, he glanced at the reporter who was interviewing Ma Xiaohui not far away, and said in his heart that there are still reporters here, and the people can't scold me to death when they watch this broadcast.

Ma Xiaohui is also grim, Jiangnan City is a rich place, residents live and work in peace and contentment, living conditions are very high, but the only bad thing is the summer floods, this natural disaster has plagued people on both sides of the river since ancient times, the same, people are inseparable from the place where they have lived for generations, the water and soil on both sides of the river are fertile, and it is indeed a fertile land for growing crops - provided that there is no flood.

However, in their own words, nine floods in ten years, of course, depends on the degree of waterlogging, if it is not serious, then it is a bumper harvest, otherwise it is likely to face a scene of no harvest.

This is the first severe test since Ma Xiaohui took office, Secretary Lin inspected the river embankment last month, and pointed out very seriously that this river embankment means the safety of millions of residents behind him, if anyone wants to take bribes in this area, who is the people's sinner, and the party and the people will not forgive such people.

This section of the embankment in Jiangnan City used to be grasped by Ding Zhongyan, but Ding Zhongyan insisted that he had not received any benefits from the embankment when he confessed, and the partner Hongfeng Cement Factory was also a regular large-scale state-owned unit, and the cement produced was very famous in the whole south.

Ding Zhongyan said at the time that although he had done a lot of wrong things, he still had a clear conscience in dealing with the safety of ordinary people's lives.

As for whether he has a clear conscience, Luo Tianyou, secretary of the municipal party committee, will not agree, and Mayor Ma Xiaohui will not agree, both of them were members of the leadership team of Jiangnan City at that time, so they naturally knew what was behind Ding Zhongyan's seemingly incorruptible appearance.

There are seven or eight hotels related to Ding Zhongyan in Jiangnan City alone, and the worst of them is more than two million, and now Ding Zhongyan's case has not been completely investigated, but the decline of Ding's is beyond doubt.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaohui glanced at Xiao Yang with a grim face, looking expressionless and very serious, Ma Xiaohui knew in his heart that he could have today, and he was absolutely inseparable from that young man.

Facing the reporter's camera. Ma Xiaohui said with a heavy face: "Please rest assured that all the people of Jiangnan City. We will be led by Secretary Luo. Strictly guarded. Keep the people of the city safe!"

The reporter turned to the camera and said: "Under the encouragement of Secretary Luo of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor Ma." All the officers and men involved in the flood control area expressed confidence in holding the river embankment. Defend the embankment of life in Jiangnan City safely!"

At this time, Luo Tianyou walked up to Xiao Yang. As I got to know the young man better. Luo Tianyou felt more and more in his heart that it was a great blessing for him to be friendly with this young man. Now Luo Tianyou is psychological. Xiao Yangdi's weight is not as good as that of Secretary Lin of the Provincial Party Committee. But it's only one notch off. If you can get the approval of flying. Then I will go more smoothly in my career. Go further. Contrarily. If it is given up by Flying. Secretary Ding and many high-ranking officials of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee are a lesson from the past.

"This embankment. It touches the heart of millions of people. Seeing the river rising. It's really worrying. "Luo Tianyou has no shelf in front of Xiao Yang. Said very casually. Rainwater. Constantly flowing down the poncho of Luo Tianyou. At this moment, Secretary Di Luo couldn't look like a secretary of the municipal party committee at all. But in the reporter's footage. But it seems very close to the people. No wonder after Luo Tianyou came to power, the people affectionately called him "Good Man Secretary Luo". It is estimated that Ding Zhongyan was too angry and resentful when he was in office.

Xiao Yang said: "Dealing with floods is a long-term and difficult task. And we can't do it alone. If only we had planted trees on both sides of the river. But the upstream let it go. After a flood. All our trees are gone. So. This point has to be coordinated by Secretary Lin. Strive for the entire river from upstream to downstream to be harnessed together. Environmental governance is a big issue. There's too much to talk about inside. All I know is a scratch of the skin. But. I believe that there will be experts in this area who will be able to come up with satisfactory governance solutions. ”

"Expert?" Luo Tianyou smiled bitterly and shook his head. Pointing to the rhetoric. It's better to expect more people like Xiao Yang to do practical things. It's not that experts can't. It's just that there are too many places to sell fame and reputation now. Experts who can really do research with their hearts are not renowned. Hide in the crowd. I want to find such a person. It's not easy.

Of course, Xiao Yang also knows what the problem that bothers Luo Tianyou is, in fact, such experts Feiyang has a large number in his hands, but Xiao Yang does not plan to push them out at this time, these people are all scholars who are really engaged in research and learning, and those who talk about it in the media all day long, they look down on fame and fortune, and similarly, they also hate some bad practices in the current academic world, if it weren't for Xiao Yang's many old professors, they would not easily know these people.

In fact, Xiao Yang doesn't attach too much importance to the concept of money now, in fact, when Xiao Yang's personal wealth exceeds one billion, his concept of money has basically become a simple number.

Xiao Yang came here, it was invited by Luo Tianyou, in the snow disaster last year, Feiyang Group donated money and materials, setting a record for the largest donation amount of private enterprises since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so this big tree, Luo Tianyou vowed to hug it.

In fact, for donations, many private enterprises do not want to donate more, but China's local conditions are actually very fucked, many times, you donate too much, not only to attract hatred, but also to make more people worry about you.

The saying of attracting hatred is very simple, the same enterprise, you donate 1 million, if another enterprise donates 500,000, then you will be compared, and as a people

If you donate more than the state-owned enterprises, then the state-owned enterprises will be angry and the consequences will be very serious, and you will say that you are a private enterprise, what did you do before you donated so much? Why did you show off you? Do you have money? Well, send someone over to check the accounts to see if you are suspected of tax evasion.

A lot of people say, this is doing a good deed, is there really someone who fucks up like that? Really, someone really fucks up like that!

It's easier to understand when you donate, as soon as you donate, people find out, oh, you are so rich, that's good, there are more departments that need to donate! This is nothing, most of them are public welfare undertakings, and if you really have the money to donate something, you can donate some points, anyway, donating ten yuan can be used for public welfare, and we can count it as a good deed.

But the problem is, there are a lot of people who sound very fucked, for example, a certain department wants to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival party, since you are so rich, then sponsor it! You can't postpone it, right? Looking for you to look up to you, some people want to sponsor us and we don't want to use it, if you dare not sponsor it? That's good, don't you have a business here in me, I'll look for your trouble everywhere, today's fire inspection, tomorrow's tax spot check, and the day after tomorrow it's a foreign population survey...... This involves several departments, which uncle you don't dare to offend, really offended, heh, even if there is a secretary of the municipal party committee to protect you, people will still clean you up without delay, there is a saying: county officials are not as good as the current management, right?

However, Feiyang is probably a very special exception, one is that the donation is very low-key, and most of it is reported afterwards when people find out, God, they actually took out so many former use in the disaster area. The second is that Feiyang Group is too strong, although it is too strong and easy to attract jealousy, but for the current Feiyang, they don't care about this.

For example, last year's snow disaster, Feiyang Group was dug up after the report of those donations, so that many companies that donated when the snow disaster was carried out felt blush, and some donated tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to talk to the camera, full of big philanthropists, but Feiyang donated a total of more than 40 million dollars and materials, but no one has been formally interviewed, most of them are those reporters who went to the Northeast to dig out the news.

Vice Premier Pan Weimin once said to TV that if our country's enterprises can have the spirit of flying, then we will not be afraid of any disaster, because we have the spirit of support from all sides when one side is in trouble, and we have countless brothers and sisters...... Yes, Vice Premier Pan's eyes were moist when he said this.

Therefore, even if there are people who are dissatisfied with Feiyang, with Vice Premier Pan's words, they will not dare to hit the muzzle of the gun.

Xiao Yang knew the purpose of Luo Tianyou calling him here, and finally gave him a promise with a smile before leaving: "If there is a danger, Feiyang will fully support the affected people." ”

With Xiao Yang's assurance, Luo Tianyou can be regarded as a real reassurance.

Xiao Yang held the umbrella alone, looking at the rolling river below, Shi Zhilong, Zhang Qingtao and Chen Zheng were all standing not far away, all wearing ponchos, without the slightest complaint.

For this kind of disaster that threatens the safety of human life, the power of the individual is too weak, and only when everyone is united can we truly stand up in the face of the disaster.

Looking at those clay figurine-like officers and soldiers, Shi Zhilong and they were all enthusiastic, and even had the idea of rushing down to share their joys and sorrows.

Xiao Yang asked Luo Tianyou at this time: "What do these soldiers eat?"

Luo Tianyou also stared at the officers and soldiers of the troops below who were constantly consolidating the embankment with sandbags, and said: "When the danger is not obvious, they can eat some good things, steamed buns, hot soup, and meat, but once the flood situation becomes tense, they can only eat some bread and ham sausages to deal with it, right, Political Commissar Dong?" Luo Tianyou turned his face to the middle-aged soldier with the rank of colonel wearing a military uniform under the poncho not far from him.

Political Commissar Dong nodded solemnly, and then glanced at Xiao Yang, he didn't know this young man, but since he could stand with the secretary of the municipal party committee, and it seemed that Secretary Luo still attached great importance to this person, he didn't despise Xiao Yang. In fact, Political Commissar Dong has been worried there just now, for fear that something will happen to the group of young men under his hands, so he repeatedly emphasized that he must ensure the personal safety of the young men, who are all raised by their mother's biological parents, and they are all young men in their twenties.

Every year when the flood situation is severe, there will always be local garrison troops rushing to the front line, and there will often be soldiers who die. As soon as he thought of this, Political Commissar Dong would feel very worried, especially when he saw the parents of the soldiers who had died in the land crying and heartbroken when they came to the army, and Political Commissar Dong always had the idea of replacing the soldier.

He is an officer who protects his subordinates, the leader of the troops, and it is strange if he does not protect his shortcomings, how can there be a general who does not love himself. So when Xiao Yang asked the soldiers what they were eating, Political Commissar Dong couldn't help but look at Xiao Yang a few more times.

Luo Tianyou said with a smile at this time: "Political Commissar Dong, don't underestimate this young man, during the snow disaster last year, it was his group that donated a total of 40 million yuan worth of property, which can be called the largest donation by a private enterprise since the founding of New China!"

Political Commissar Dong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "Oh, I remembered, it's the Feiyang Group, right?" Then he looked at Luo Tianyou and asked, "I think he is very young!

Xiao Yang said with a smile: "Secretary Luo's words are serious, last year's decision to donate was also a common decision of all the high-level leaders of Feiyang, but it is difficult to say that I am alone, it doesn't seem that I am too arbitrary." Hello Political Commissar Dong, I am Xiao Yang from Feiyang Group. ”

Political Commissar Dong is in a high position, but it is no worse than Luo Tianyou, seeing that Xiao Yang's bearing and demeanor are not like a young man in his twenties, I heard him claim to be Xiao Yang of Feiyang Group, but he has no position, Dong Political Commissar was happy, stretched out his big hand, which was still covered with rain, and shook hands with Xiao Yang vigorously: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, it's really good, you should be the young owner of Feiyang Group? I really can't imagine that the actual head of Feiyang Group will be so young." ”

"You know me?" Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that he was not so well-known, right?

Being able to become a colonel in his forties naturally has a relatively deep background. Political Commissar Dong said with a smile: "I have a good relationship with Zhou Dushan!"

Xiao Yang suddenly became big

No, it turned out that he knew Lao Zhou, Xiao Yang thought, and said with a smile: "That will, I originally wanted to enrich the food for the soldiers, since there is still this relationship, then we have to treat it well!"

Chen Zheng, who had been a soldier, had long wanted to do something for the group of brothers below, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but stand upright, and couldn't help but salute Xiao Yang with a military salute: "Guarantee to complete the task!" As he spoke, his arms were slightly bent, his hands were clenched into fists on his waist, and his posture was very standard and he ran out quickly.

Political Commissar Dong didn't expect Xiao Yang to do this, although the number of soldiers below is not too much, but there are more than 200 people, so many people's food, how much is a meal, this is not counted, Xiao Yang did not say to make a meal, I heard him say that it means that it will not stop this practice until the flood recedes and the soldiers leave. A sense of gratitude arose, and more of an admiration. Now he suddenly understood why Zhou Dushan admired Xiao Yang so much, saying that he had the most shrewd mind of a businessman, and also had the kindness of giving to the world, and he was a young man with noble character. Political Commissar Dong was originally a little unimpressed, but a hairy kid in his twenties deserves this kind of evaluation? Now that he thinks about it, he can definitely afford it.

Political Commissar Dong gave Xiao Yang a military salute in the rain, and at the same time said sincerely: "Comrade Xiao Yang, on behalf of all the officers and men fighting the flood, I thank you for your generosity!"

Xiao Yang hurriedly said: "This is what I should do, if possible, I would like to rush down and carry sandbags with those soldiers, but it's a pity that I have a small physique." ”

Luo Tianyou hurriedly said on the side: "You can't go, if you make something wrong, don't talk about responsibility, I can't afford the condemnation of the people!"

Several people laughed, this scene was quietly recorded by a caring reporter, but he was not ready to play, the photographer was moved, he was ready to go back and seal the tape, because at the beginning he heard that this young man was actually the actual person in charge of the internationally renowned Feiyang Group, and the kind of surprise was almost the same as hearing that Bush and Saddam were brothers.

I realized at the moment that this was definitely a big piece of news, and when I thought of the performance of the snowstorm last year, it was actually this young man who played a vital role in it, and what does this mean to the people of the whole country? It means that there are businessmen like Bill Gates in China! They are extremely wealthy, and at the same time they do not forget public welfare; in comparison, many businessmen who only know how to exploit the surplus value of the common people should die of shame!

But then he realized that this news must not be broadcast, once it is broadcast, I am afraid that this young man will no longer have a peaceful life at all, and for China's national conditions, if this news is broadcast, it will be good or bad for Feiyang, he really dare not assert. Therefore, he would rather keep this news for himself, maybe in ten or eight years, Xiao Yang will stand in front of the public, then this photographic material will be a super precious treasure! At that time, it will be more valuable!

What the photographer didn't notice was that the beautiful hostess who looked quite embarrassed on the side, looked at Xiao Yang's eyes with a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Xiao Yang's order is equivalent to the highest order in Feiyang, and all departments are unconditionally implemented, and the heads of the two Feiyang restaurants in Jiangnan City immediately held an emergency mobilization meeting after hearing that they were cooking for the flood fighters who protected the river embankment, and the chefs said that they would do their best to do it with their best skills, and they would definitely not be fooled by making a big pot of rice.

Specializing in the art industry, and conscientiously preparing the food for the soldiers, may be a way for these chefs to express their respect and contribute their strength.

The pride of Feiyang people, so many years has formed a corporate culture, spread in the hearts of every employee, like last year Xiao Guoliang really couldn't resist the reporter's request, in response to the snow disaster donation incident said a word: we just did what we should do.

This sentence does not say how much sensation and influence it has caused in the society, but also says that within Feiyang Group, it has also become the motto of every Feiyang person.

"If everyone can do what they should do, then our tomorrow will be better!" This sentence is remembered by many Feiyang people. Even people who have joined Feiyang Group for a short time will be moved by this spirit and inspired by this spirit.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit. But in the same way, there are many things in life that do not need to be considered for profit, but can also make one's heart tremble.

As soon as the matter on the embankment came to an end, Xiao Yang, Shi Zhilong, and Zhang Qingtao were ready to go back first, while Luo Tianyou, Ma Xiaohui, and Political Commissar Dong, as well as some accompanying leaders, were ready to have a meal with the officers and soldiers fighting the flood later, expressing their determination to fight the flood with them.

Shi Zhilong smiled beside Xiao Yang and said, "Why doesn't Xiao Shao stay for a meal?"

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "I don't want to be swept into it by the camera inadvertently." In fact, Xiao Yang has asked Ma Xiaohui to help say hello, but all the shots of him have to be disposed of.

He doesn't want to be exposed to the world and do public welfare, which is what every socially responsible person will do, and there is nothing worth showing off.

"Mr. Xiao Yang, can you wait?" a somewhat hoarse female voice sounded behind her.

Xiao Yang and the three of them were in a hurry, because although they were all wearing ponchos and boots, in fact, their trouser legs were already wet, and they hadn't eaten all morning, so they would all be hungry, Xiao Yang was going to go to his own restaurant Feiyang Restaurant with Shi Zhilong to eat, by the way, see how those chefs were doing, and comfort them, after all, this practice may cause some people not to understand. Xiao Yang doesn't want to give people the impression that "you are a good person, we pay behind the scenes".

Xiao Yang turned his head and saw that the hostess who interviewed several leaders had caught up, and he felt a little strange in his heart, but he still nodded politely: "Excuse me, do you have something to do with me?"
