Chapter 224 With great power comes great responsibility
As soon as Lin Furong's words fell, Zhu Xueqin also stood up and said: "I will donate 10 million to build 100 Zhu Xueqin Charity Schools." οΌΈβ
Zhu Xueqin and Lin Furong often say goodbye to each other, but Lewanjia Supermarket has just begun to expand aggressively, compared to Daifuku Real Estate's wealth is still much worse, in order not to be looked down upon by Lin Furong, Zhu Xueqin can only grit his teeth and take out 10 million from the profits of the supermarket group.
Seeing that Lin Cheng's family was actively donating to build the school, other senior executives were also quite shocked, it seemed that they also wanted to donate to build a charity school, but Lin Cheng stopped them at this time.
Lin Cheng said: "Chairman Lin Furong and Ms. Zhu Xueqin and I are the major shareholders of the Lin Group and the owners of the Lin Group.
But you are different, you are just executives who came to the Lin Group to receive salaries, and the Lin Group is in the ascendant, and the high salary you received has only been a few months old, and we Lin have no reason to force you to donate.
If you really want to do something for the children in the mountainous areas, why don't you change to one-on-one help, in the charity school donated by our Lin Group, if you find good students who are suitable for your vision and have excellent moral character, you can provide them with academic support.
Of course, if you also want to name the school after yourself like us, and live a pretending addiction, that's not impossible, but it's not too late to donate after you get a million annual salaries!"
"Huh, ......" Lin Cheng's words made all the executives breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
To tell the truth, when Lin Cheng took out 200 million, Lin Furong took out 100 million, Zhu Xueqin took out 10 million, and the Lin family took out huge sums of money one after another to do charity, the executives present were really worried that the three members of the Lin family would morally kidnap them, and asked them to also come up with a huge amount of more than 100,000 yuan to donate to build a charity school.
Although most of the senior executives here have an annual salary of more than one million, except for a few professional managers who have been working in Xiangjiang for several years, most of the senior executives only began to receive an annual salary of one million yuan in the second half of this year, and they used to earn at most 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a year.
If the Lin family really asked them to donate more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan to build a charity school, although they would not and did not dare to refuse, the knots in their hearts could not be eliminated no matter what.
Now Lin Cheng's words really dispelled their doubts, the Lin family did not kidnap them morally, but let them uphold the principle of voluntariness to do charity, donate if they want to donate, and don't donate if they don't want to donate, which makes them feel much more comfortable.
Lin Cheng naturally scoffed at their concerns, what kind of person is he?
In just half a year, Lin Cheng has already earned more than 10 billion net worth, and the future layout includes Alibaba and Penguin, two giant companies with a market value of more than 3 trillion, how can he care about the three melons and two dates of these executives?
They just think too much.
β¦β¦
Although he has such and such views on the Xiangjiang people of later generations, the Xiangjiang people at this time are still worthy of Lin Cheng's admiration. They also have a much more positive view of charity than people back home.
After Lin Cheng announced the rules for free donations, the Xiangjiang executives, led by Fang Dehua, each pledged to donate to the charity school named after them, ranging from more than one million to less than hundreds of thousands.
Most of them chose to donate in the form of helping students, and the amount of donations claimed was more than tens of thousands, and as few as one or two thousand.
Whether it is a large donation or a small donation, Lin Cheng treats them all equally, and does not show face to anyone because he donates less. Witnessing this scene, the executives who pledged less money were secretly relieved, and they had a very good impression of Lin Cheng, and vowed to redouble their efforts in the future work to repay Lin Cheng's trust.
According to statistics, the amount of donations reached by the charity conference reached 315.6 million yuan, which can be used to build about 3,000 charity schools in the poor areas of western China.
It's '97 now, housing prices won't take off until '98, and it doesn't cost much to build a three- or four-story teaching building.
Moreover, in some relatively poor and backward mountainous areas, due to the sparse population, the total number of students in a school is often about 100, and the establishment of a school is about tens of thousands of yuan.
In Lin Cheng's budget, 100,000 yuan can build a school. Of course, this is only the preliminary budget, and the more than 300 million yuan that Lin has allocated is only to build the infrastructure of 3,000 charity schools.
In the next few months, Lin Cheng will increase the budget and personally allocate another 200 million yuan to distribute living subsidies to the vast number of rural teachers who are struggling in poor and backward areas.
Rural teachers, appeared in the 50s and 60s of the 20th century. At that time, China's vast rural areas were economically backward, living in poverty, and there was a general shortage of educated rural teachers, and with the rapid population growth in rural areas, the number of school-age children increased significantly.
In order to solve the problem of rural education, governments at all levels have taken remedial measures and recruited a large number of rural teachers. Among them, only some of them are young people who have graduated from the normal class, and the rest are a large number of young people from society, who are immediately added to various positions after a simple recruitment procedure. Its nature is public, private and substitute teaching.
The salary of rural teachers is lower than that of teachers with government salaries and benefits, after the reform and opening up, many rural teachers chose to go to the sea to do business or change careers, and now the rural teachers who are still sticking to the poor and backward areas can only be described as idealists.
Rural teachers are often not taken seriously by the mainstream of society, and the government education department is also very serious about the non-payment of teachers' salaries, and this situation did not improve until 2014, when the government introduced financial subsidies to rural teachers.
Now, Lin Cheng has the ability to improve their lives, and naturally he will no longer turn a blind eye to their poverty, and he will take out no less than 200 million yuan a year to distribute subsidies, so that the vast number of rural teachers will no longer shed blood and tears.
Lin Cheng feels that compared with the teachers in the city, the rural teachers who are struggling in the vast poor and backward areas live up to the great title of soul engineer.
In his previous life, when Lin Cheng saw Liu Cixin's science fiction "Rural Teacher", when he saw the students of the rural teacher reciting Newton's three laws taught by the rural teacher at a critical moment related to the life and death of the earth, he was moved to tears.
It is precisely because of this science fiction that Lin Cheng began to pay attention to the special group of rural teachers, and at the same time deeply understood their sacrifices and contributions to the prosperity and strength of the motherland.
Compared to their contribution to the country, and the society gives them too little and too little, Lin Cheng is now rich and capable, how can he sit back and watch this situation continue?
