Chapter 351: Respect for Every Ordinary (1)
An elderly man from China came to the UK many years ago to work as the hardest and most tiring garbage cleaner. After 13 years in the UK, he reached retirement age, and according to the regulations, he can receive a total of 1,450 pounds per month from the British government, which is equivalent to 13,000 yuan.
In the past ten years in the UK, this old man has undergone several surgeries and has not spent a penny, because the UK is free medical care for all, not only free for citizens, but also as long as you have a work visa, you can also enjoy it.
After retiring, the old man was not idle in the UK, he pushed a small cart to sell pancakes, fruits and sugar gourds on the streets of London, there was no police and chengguan to drive him away, there were many tourists in London, and the old man's business was also good, basically every month's pension can be saved, and the money used to do business is enough to support expenses.
In this story, we can see three aspects of respect that the old man receives.
Granting a pension sufficient to a foreigner on a work visa is a sign of respect for the basic right to life.
Free public health care is a sign of respect for people's basic right to health.
Giving small traders enough freedom is a sign of respect for people's basic business rights.
——————
The year 2001 has begun, and the domestic economy has gradually begun to recover, but ordinary people may have heard too much about "this year's form is very good", and they can't believe it!
The first reaction is that foreign investment has begun to increase significantly, especially some foreign companies have begun to transfer their original orders in Southeast Asia to China, which is also an era when wealth is about to begin to be created in large quantities, and no matter which class of wealth will have a great sense of satisfaction!
Of course, the Zhao Song Group was also the first wave to increase investment and trade cooperation in the mainland, so 2000 was a bumper year for the domestic branch of the Zhao Song Group! Not only did it create an output value of nearly 30 billion yuan, but also corresponded to a net profit of more than 3 billion yuan.
So at the end of 2000, in addition to profit distribution, Zhao Song Group also started large-scale charity activities!
The first is to help employees in difficulty within the group company, and the second is to participate in the assistance activities of local governments. It includes poor urban households, outstanding college students from poor families, and many special groups of people who are poor because of illness......
Although Zhao Song Group asked not to take the initiative to participate in the publicity, this company will also be found among those who are interested. Because this time, the total donation reached more than 1.2 billion. Especially in Zhao Hong's hometown, it has nearly 100 million yuan, although it has been trying to do things in a low-key way, but it still has a certain influence in the local area, and even the business environment of the local branch has been greatly improved!
"Second son, what are you doing in T City? Why did the leaders from my hometown visit our house? It is said that it is quite formal, not only the leaders of the county, but also the leaders of the city!"
His parents who were far away in Haishi also called to inquire, and at this time, Zhao Hong and his party had already left his hometown and arrived at Xiao Wanting's hometown.
"It's nothing, the main thing is that we used some money in our hometown for charity activities, maybe the amount donated is a little more! As for the leaders' visits, they all have a purpose, and they don't need to care too much, and the follow-up matters will be handled by our company. It would be nice for them to live their lives in peace. ”
Zhao Hong looked at Guo Yi and Xiao Wanting helplessly, they laughed happily, because this time when they came back, Zhao Song Group did not invest much in Zhao Hong's hometown, but there were a lot of charitable donations, even far exceeding the total profits of the local project company! They all felt a little disapproving, thinking that this was purely emotional, and it was very different from the shrewd him in the past.
After comforting his parents for a while and hanging up the phone, Zhao Hong seemed to feel that this time it seemed to be a little bit Meng Lang. But he knew in his heart that he was indeed a little emotionally impulsive, but who let it be his hometown? He just hoped that those people who had paid their youth for the development of their hometown could smoothly get through the current difficulties and helpless ups and downs, so that the people in their hometown could be happier and a little more!
I have limited abilities, so I just do what I can do. More of them couldn't be realized, although this time there were some things that didn't control themselves and did something beyond everyone's imagination. It's considered a bit too sentimental.
"Second son, young people still can't do it, it's not deep enough, it's too impulsive to do anything, isn't it?" Guo Yi happily imitated the tone of Zhao Hong's parents.
"This little comrade is still good! Although he is a little impulsive, his spirit is still commendable. Then continue to work hard! The great importance of liberating the people of the whole world lies in your generation! It is up to you to save the broad masses of people from their misery. ”
Xiao Wanting also teased very happily.
Zhao Hong said a little unhappily. "I seem to be the only one like this! Aren't you very active in helping those poor families? Guo Yi, you wiped a lot of tears. Xiao Wanting, although you are very restrained, I also saw it. Who can't notice your heart-to-heart look, your expression of wanting to give more things?"
The two of them hurriedly denied it with some embarrassment, but Xiao Wanting still explained,
"It's not that we're too emotional. But some situations are far beyond our expectations, and some things are even more tragic and painful than depicted. If I don't help him, I feel very uncomfortable and miserable. I helped him, but seeing their smiling faces made me feel very happy. Maybe that's my understanding of the renewal of happiness in life!"
Guo Yi said a little coquettishly, "I have been learning Lei Feng since I was a child, and now I know that if you do good things without a purpose, you will be happier." It is a beautiful feeling that I feel happier while bringing happiness to others. It can be said that I do these good deeds to help them, not for them, but for myself. Because of this, I feel happier in life and more motivated to pursue my career and money!"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled in their own rooms, and the tacit understanding was more, and only kind people and people who worked hard to help others could have more happiness! Respect for life, respect for labor, and care for every ordinary worker who has been, is, and will pay for the country and society, so that everyone can live happily!
