Chapter 374: Charity Ambassador
For this large order, Mavi shared the order with the shipyard of the Russian Navy according to a certain proportion of the shares. The important thing is not the amount, but the bundle of interests, so that no one can easily shake his foundation.
After doing the transaction with Malaysia, Ma Wei, who was at home with salted fish, lived his easy life again. It's okay to pet the bear, rub the tiger, the lion, make two calls if you have something to do, and solve the trouble. If you feel lonely, you can take a private jet to the United States or go to Ukraine for a tryst.
At present, the companies under his group are developing very smoothly. Google and Marvel Studios, which have long been listed, continue to rise in stock prices, with slight fluctuations. As for the Vke video, it is also under the influence of the live broadcast of Vke and the barrage, which has gathered many loyal users. It won't be long before the two sites that merge will catch up.
The group's oil and energy companies have established oil pipelines with Ukraine and country Z. A steady stream of oil is delivered to the two countries every month in accordance with the established amount. At the current rate of exploitation, it will take at least 35 years for the three oil fields that Ma Wei originally bid for to be fully exploited......
In addition to these companies, the Google mobile phone invested and developed by Ma Wei is still being frantically snapped up around the world. Although nearly one million units have been sold, there is no way, because there are no competitors at all, coupled with the enthusiasm of the outside world. Therefore, the sales of Google mobile phones have been in short supply. The factory does not have time to process and produce every day.
This is in contrast to mobile phone giants such as Nokia and Motorola, whose sales are declining. In just a few months, several mobile phone giants have clearly felt the pressure. It's a pity that if they wait until they develop a smartphone, it will be at least a year or two later.
By that time, Ma Wei's Google mobile phone may have been upgraded to the 3rd generation. Whether it's the screen, or the processor, or the memory, it's more advanced. This huge gap has made mobile phone companies such as Motorola and Nokia unable to transform. Even if they abandon their previous suspicions and unite them all, they will achieve the level of three at most......
Seeing that the world is gradually changing in the direction he is familiar with, Ma Wei also feels that life is more colorful. That afternoon, he glanced at his bank balance, and unconsciously increased from the original nine-figure amount to $3.98 billion.
I can't spend these flowers, and if I spend less, I will have more bank deposits. Ma Wei feels that it is time for him to invest a little more and do charity.
In Russia in 2002, the gap between the rich and the poor was very large. In the congested streets of Moscow, the rich sit in all kinds of luxury cars, go in and out of high-end restaurants, eat Western food, and drink red wine.
And just across the street, many people who are living in difficulty can only endure hunger and cold, and live a life that may starve to death or freeze to death at any time.
This is not a deliberate exaggeration or alarmism, but a fact that Ma Wei has seen with his own eyes in the past two years. He has also donated large sums of money to charities. But in the overall state of Russia, corruption is very serious. There are very few people who are truly charitable.
It's a good idea to donate ten dollars and end up with one dollar going to the poor.
Ma Wei saw these phenomena in his eyes. It's just that even if I donate all the money, I can't change the status quo in Russia. Including in the previous life, even in 2019, no one can completely rescue these Russians living at the bottom.
"Ivan, what charities have donated money or materials to those in need of those charities that have donated money or materials before?" In the past two years, Ma Wei has donated funds to more than 150 charities. His team has also been tracking the money and whose pockets it ends up in.
"Master, as far as I know, there are three charities that use their donations completely for their charity projects. The remaining 165 institutions have more or less ......," the butler Ivan replied truthfully. They can't control this phenomenon.
On the contrary, if all people are put in prison, it will also be a blow to the development of charity in Russia. At least not yet, at least until someone has the strength to turn things around.
"Okay, I know, give me the names and addresses of these three organizations. "Ma Wei happened to be relatively idle today. So after he got the address of the charity, he changed into a normal coat, sunglasses, and a mask. Then he drove the little black broken car at home and went out like this.
This small wrecked car is his exclusive car to go to the Kremlin or the Ministry of Defense building. It's also a special vehicle for unannounced visits to charities and meetings with those who are kind to them.
When everything is ready, someone who travels in a low-key way, according to the address given by the butler, drives all the way from the rich area in the center of Moscow to the relatively poor, non-rich area with messy streets.
In order to ensure Ma Wei's safety, according to the custom, his small broken car escorted many armored vehicles at a certain distance in front and behind. Inside, heavily armed Russian bodyguards sat to guard his personal safety......
Half an hour later, Ma Wei drove to the front of a charity called the Warm Heart Foundation. After investigation, the company did not embezzle or deduct donors' donations. All the money was spent on the poor in Russia, buying warm clothing and food for the stomach.
These include down jackets, padded jackets, thermal underwear, coal, rice, compressed biscuits, and much more.
However, due to the Foundation's limited capacity, not many people have been helped. So the vast majority of its sphere of influence is only in the Moscow region. But even then, it's just a drop in the bucket. Because there are so many people in need of help.
Every year, the number of people who starve to death and freeze to death on the streets in Russia accounts for 120,000 people. This does not include those who are drunk, drunk, or frozen to death on the side of the road. It's purely because of economic ability, and it can't continue to survive. If you count the deaths from alcoholism, it would be 500,000 people.
Alcohol abuse is the cause of 37% of deaths in Russia. Alcohol poisoning, cirrhosis of the liver, traffic accidents, drinking to the point of unconscious, and then freezing to death on the streets, all drunk vodka. Even the Russian government has introduced a policy of banning the sale of alcohol at night. But to no avail......
After all, alcoholism has become a habit, a culture, deeply ingrained in Russians. And the formation of this habit can be traced back to the end of the 19th century. There's no way to change that.
Unless the government, as in the case of Arabia, orders that alcohol should not be consumed in public. However, this restriction will cause strong dissatisfaction among the people. Affect social stability.
