Chapter 487: On the Foundation

In the early 80s, the country had just come out of a decade of turmoil, and there was a serious talent gap in all aspects. Therefore, after the resumption of enrollment, the first few batches of fresh graduates are in short supply, and countless high-quality positions are waiting for them to fill.

But since '82, hundreds of thousands of college students have graduated from school every year. Since the reform and opening up, the country has cultivated a total of more than one million highly educated talents. Even if there are more opportunities, they have already been carved up.

Today's college students are still at the top of society relative to the entire Chinese population, but they are no longer the elite of society. Their starting point after graduation is likely to be much better than those who don't go to college.

But it is absolutely impossible for them to shoulder the responsibility of carrying forward the past and renewing the country, just like those senior brothers and sisters who graduated a few years ago! In fact, this huge gap is also one of the important roots of the movement a few years later.

"Come on, everyone, there are still two trees left! After picking lychees later, the squad leader invites everyone to have dinner together!" As soon as a man wearing a white T-shirt but his clothes were already wet with sweat finished speaking, the people around him immediately cheered.

"Hey, Lin Shaoru, we're here to help Hui Qiao today, you should have a treat with her! Why should you rely on me, don't let you bully me because I'm the squad leader!" The squad leader was a boy in a cyan T-shirt named Luo Jingyue, and he immediately retorted dissatisfied.

"We came here to pick lychees, but it was not Guo Huiqiao who invited us to come, but you encouraged us to come, class leader, you naturally have to bear the responsibility to the end! Not to mention who said during the election campaign that you would bow down and be willing to be a cow for your children?

We are not asking you to go up the sword mountain and down to the sea of fire, but only to ask you to take out some of your ill-gotten wealth and invite us to a meal! You have to take the initiative to understand the situation yourself. Don't force us to learn from Robinson to kill the rich and help the poor!" Lin Shaoru's words attracted the applause of many students.

"It has been almost 10 years since reform and opening up, and these backward and decadent old concepts in your mind have not been discarded! My money is neither stolen nor robbed, it is all my own hard work and is protected by the state!

The current policy of the central authorities is to be glorious in getting rich and making money! With such a consciousness, you still want to apply to join the party and be the successor of socialism? I am suddenly interested in China's future. Feel infinitely pessimistic!" Luo Jingrui replied with a smile without showing weakness.

"Master of the Youth League Branch, have you heard! Squad Leader Luo is going to retaliate against me, if my party activists can't be rated next semester, I have to suspect that some people are making obstructions!" Lin Shaoru immediately raised his voice and pretended to be very aggrieved.

"This is a personal grudge between you and Luo Jingyue, please don't use this to threaten the organization! Our class has always followed the principles of fairness, justice, and openness in electing activists to join the party! But I still want to thank everyone for coming to help today, and the little girl will definitely invite everyone who has worked hard and made great achievements to have dinner to pay respect!

But I'll be the first to say the ugly. If you want to go to a high-end restaurant outside the school, let's go to the faculty cafeteria for a while!"

SUSTech learned a trick from its next-door neighbor, Shenzhen University, which is to hand over the lychee trees on campus to students to take care of. When SUSTech was founded, it received a lot of land from the SAR government, covering a total of 5.5 square kilometers.

In fact, even in SUSTech's long-term plan, the campus covers an area of only 1 square kilometer. The remaining 4.5 square kilometres will be progressively commercially developed. In the future, it will become an important part of the school's financial revenue.

And even if it has been fenced, this 100 hectares of land that is ready to be used as campus land. In fact, not all of the development was completed. A large area still retains the state of being full of lychee orchards when it was first requisitioned. SUSTech is not in a hurry to push all these lychee trees, but as part of the campus work-study program, it is contracted to students for management.

Guo Huiqiao is bedridden because his father is sick all the year round, so the conditions at home are very difficult. In order to reduce the burden on her family, she chose to drop out of school twice. But successively taught her two class teachers. couldn't bear to let such a hard-working and high-grade child lose the opportunity to change her fate through reading, so she spent a lot of effort to persuade her to go back to school.

She is the most difficult student in the class, and the admissions teacher of SUSTech was so easy to convince her that she was the top 20 students in Shanghai and Hai City. Choosing SUSTech instead of other famous universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Fudan University assured her that after graduating from SUSTech, she would definitely be able to make the fastest and most money to support her family.

At the beginning of her enrollment, Guo Huiqiao received a second-class scholarship. The 5,000 yuan bonus has been able to cover her tuition and living expenses for a whole year. But in addition to studying, she still worked hard to work part-time and send the money she earned home.

Guo Huiqiao contracted 50 lychee trees this time, and usually participated in various labor such as fertilizing, pruning, and weeding the lychee trees under the organization of the school. And when the lychees ripen in June, she is also responsible for picking all the lychees.

This is actually the most difficult job, because when the lychee is abundant, the fruit on a tree can reach hundreds of catties. 50 lychee trees are 5,000 catties of lychees, and if she does it alone, it will definitely be a very heavy job. Second, at this time, it reflects the warmth of the big collective. Guo Huiqiao's 86 Computer Class 1, dozens of classmates came together to help, and they were able to pick all 50 lychee trees in one day!

"Huiqiao, don't rob the class leader! He used to call on us to help him do all kinds of public welfare activities for free, and now it's time to repay us!" Lin Shaoru naturally knew the situation of the League branch secretary, and he didn't want Guo Huiqiao to take care of the annual income of these lychee trees, and everyone would eat more than half of it in one meal.

"It's okay for me to invite you to dinner, but there is one problem that must be made clear! That is, the reason why I have always encouraged everyone to participate in various volunteer activities is not for my own sake! The Oceanpower Foundation will never ask us to say how many people need to participate in each activity to complete the task!

The premise of participating in public welfare activities is voluntary, if you have the mentality of trying to save face for me, then I would rather you not participate in the future! This country has given us a lot, and I hope you can have a grateful heart. We are within our means. Shouldn't we give back some feedback to help those who should be helped more?" Luo Jingyue suddenly said very seriously.

"Well, squad leader, it's not okay if I'm wrong! I know what you mean, I'm just saying it casually. Who let you find a part-time job with such a high salary, and we are not allowed to be jealous!"

Lin Shaoru rarely showed a slightly embarrassed expression. However, he was always cheeky and quickly returned to normal, and continued to complain, "Isn't the Haichuan Foundation where you work a charity organization?

"Most of the time, a person's value in the workplace is measured by salary. Only high wages can attract the best talents, and only the best talents can do the best public welfare!

Participating in public welfare activities is a good deed for ordinary people to improve their spiritual world. And for the employees of the Foundation. I don't know if you still remember, the last time for the welfare fundraising activity, I asked Zhang Jingli to donate 50 yuan on my behalf!

Because according to the rules of the Oceanpower Foundation, all employees in the foundation, including part-time students like us, are not allowed to donate money in various fundraising activities organized by our foundation!

In this way, the moral shackles of Foundation employees were freed. lest any man say, 'Do you exhort others to do good.'" If you follow this viewpoint, then it is better for people who work in the foundation not to get paid! But it's okay for people to go without getting paid for a day, but it's okay to let people go without getting paid for the rest of their lives, after all, everyone has to rely on their wages to support their families!

To evaluate the management level of a foundation, we should actually look at its operating rate. Oceanpower Fund's operating expenses only account for about 11.5% of the total annual fundraising. All operating expenses. In addition to the salaries and benefits of all employees of the foundation, it also includes other administrative expenses, such as office rent, office supplies, publicity, financial audits, and staff travel and training.

As much as 88.5% of the total annual expenditure of the Oceanpower Foundation is actually used for those in need. This figure is definitely higher than the level of most charities in the world, including agencies like UNHCR and UNICEF!" Luo Jingyue explained in detail.

"It seems to be the same thing when you say that!" Lin Shaoru thought about it and nodded and said.

"It's really just about operating rates. It doesn't have to be entirely reasonable, for example, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which operates at a rate of up to 30 percent. Of the $10 it gets, only $7 actually goes to the refugees!

Of the 30% of the total operating expenses, administrative expenses actually account for only 12%, and the remaining 18% of the expenses are fundraising expenses, knowing that finding money is always the hardest. But most of the funds of the Oceanpower Foundation come from the private donations of Mr. Li Xuan, the richest man in the world. The number of fundraising activities held by Oceanpower Foundation is relatively small every year, so the fundraising expenditure is also very small!

The environment in which each public welfare organization operates is different, so there are also great differences in its specific operation! Whether or not a public welfare foundation is worthy of recognition depends on whether its accounts are completely open to the public! Whether the accounts it makes public can withstand the scrutiny of countless eyes of the whole society!" Luo Jingyue said eloquently.

"Class leader, I think there is a profession in the West that is very suitable for you, you can change jobs to become a god-stick pastor after graduation, I just felt like I saw God beside me! You see, even this beautiful girl was attracted by your wonderful sermon!" Lin Shaoru pouted not far away. Standing there was a girl wearing a pink baseball cap, a ponytail, a stylish backpack and a camera on her chest.

Another boy who was originally sitting next to him while drinking water and watching Lin Shaoru and Luo Jingyue pinch each other, under Lin Shaoru's reminder, looked at the new girl with other classmates. When his gaze swept over the camera on the girl's chest, his ass immediately looked like it had been pricked by a needle, and it popped up.

"What did I see, Canon! Canon's DSLR looks like it's still the newly launched EOS-650!" the boy screamed, his eyes shining green like a hungry wolf seeing his prey.

Li Ying was suddenly taken aback, and quickly took a few steps back. She heard her brother say that the lychees on the campus of SUSTech were ripe at this time. The lychee forests all over the mountains are as bright as a red glow, which is a different kind of beauty.

So Li Ying specially brought a camera to take pictures today, but unfortunately she came late, and she had already walked around the campus of SUSTech for most of the time, and all the lychee trees that had been picked clean.

It was rare for her to find in this corner that there were dozens of trees full of lychees, so she immediately walked towards this side! However, before Li Ying walked in front of the lychee forest full of red glow, she heard a wonderful comment on the Oceanpower Foundation, and then stopped with interest.

"Fang Ping, don't be so surprised, it's okay to scare others!" Luo Jingyue grabbed his classmates when they rushed past him. Then he turned his head and smiled awkwardly at Li Ying who was not far away, and apologized embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, this classmate of mine has a camera obsession, he didn't actually mean it!"

This boy named Fang Ping only came to his senses at this moment, and suddenly became at a loss. His personality is actually a bit shy and not very good at dealing with strangers, especially if the person standing opposite him is a girl.

"It's okay, everyone has their own favorite hobbies! This is indeed not the camera I just bought not long ago!" Li Ying smiled kindly, and as she spoke, she had already taken off the strap from her neck and stretched out her hand to hand over the camera.

When Fang Ping saw Li Ying's actions, he suddenly didn't know what shyness was. He took three steps and two steps and quickly stepped forward, carefully took the Canon SLR camera handed over by Li Ying with both hands, and couldn't help but let out a "tsk" of praise in his mouth.

"This is a good camera, your old antique seagull is compared to this one, do you have the urge to throw it into the garbage!" Lin Shaoru also stepped forward at some point, and the very poisonous tongue of the other party teased.

It's a pity that Fang Ping seems to be completely immersed in his own world, and he simply takes his words as a deaf ear!(To be continued......)
