Chapter 611 Dialogue with CCTV and talk about philanthropy

On September 16, 1998, Lin Cheng was interviewed by CCTV's "Oriental Time and Space - Face to Face".

Shui Junyi was born in a scholarly family, handsome and particularly angular, and once served as a war correspondent in the Iraq War, and can be regarded as a relatively stylish host of CCTV.

Of course, anyone who can mix in CCTV, the country's first TV station, is very capable, such as He Yi, Yang Lan, Chen Perch, etc.

Chai Jing, the former host of CCTV, even spent millions of dollars to shoot the documentary "Under the Dome", revealing the essence of haze, a harmful gas, which made people smell the fog and change color.

This film made the Chinese people hear the name of smog for the first time, forcing the government to vigorously control air pollution, and cultivating a good habit of people to take a look at PM2.5 before traveling.

No matter what purpose Chai Jing filmed the documentary "Under the Dome", it is fair to say that this move is indeed a merit in the present and beneficial for the future, if it were not for Chai Jing to expose the essence of smog as a harmful gas, how many people would still be struggling under the haze, and even died of illness.

To get back to the point, Lin Cheng's interview was held in Lin Cheng's office, and after Lin Cheng and Shui Junyi exchanged a few words of greeting, they immediately entered the interview session.

"Hello Lin Sheng, I see a number, so far, you have invested more than two billion in charity, which is quite a shocking number.

On August 16th, your Lin Group donated 500 million RMB to the charity performance, I would like to know what you thought when you decided to donate such a huge amount of money, and what prompted you to invest so much in charity?

Lin Cheng thought for a while and said, "Actually, when I'm free, I'm often thinking about a question, what is the purpose of making so much money? You Lin Cheng has already made so much money, you can't use it up in ten lifetimes, just retire."

For this reason, I often feel lost, feeling that my life has been very fulfilling, and I no longer have the motivation to struggle.

But at the beginning of June this year, at the Daba Town Charity Primary School, which I donated money to establish, I think I finally found the answer.

At that time, I went to Daba Town, together with Xiangjiang celebrities Zhang Guirong and Mei Yanfang, to inspect the situation of the Charity Primary School, which is a rather poor and backward area, where the per capita annual income is only 3,000 or 4,000 yuan, and the out-of-school rate of children is as high as 780 percent.

However, the primary school I donated to the town of Daba can get most of the out-of-school children back into primary school, but it is a mountainous area, and the children often have to go back and forth for three or four hours to get to school, but these young children do not need to be accompanied by an adult, and they can go to and from school alone in the endless mountains.

When I am with these children and see their eyes with a desperate thirst for knowledge and culture, I am always in tears, and even secretly weep.

It was at that moment that I finally understood that I had a responsibility and a moral duty to earn more money so that there would be fewer out-of-school children in the country, and even fewer of them, until all children could go to spacious and bright schools and acquire the knowledge and ability to change their own poor fate.

Nowadays, for me, no matter how much money I have, it is just a bunch of numbers, and what I am pursuing is not only money, but also status, fame, influence, and the ability and responsibility to change the motherland and help others.

Because I have realized that there is a principle in life, that is, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!

In my opinion, when I am in my fifties and sixties and completely free from work and completely retire, there is only one job that I will never stop, even until I stop breathing, it will always be with me, and that is charity. ”

I have to say that Lin Cheng's ability to fool is getting stronger and stronger, and under his half-truths, Shui Junyi and the photographer both wet their eyes with tears.

Shui Junyi's voice was choked with a hint of choking, and he said with admiration: "'The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility', Lin Sheng, you summed it up so well! Lin Sheng, you are only eighteen years old, but you have such a thorough understanding, it is really amazing!"

No wonder the Lin Group donated 500 million yuan in the disaster relief performance, not only Lin Sheng, but also the entire enterprise was affected by you and actively invested in charity, if our country could have a few more enterprises like the Lin Group. ”

Lin Cheng said with a smile: "In fact, I have always instilled the idea of 'social responsibility' in all employees of the Lin Group.

When it comes to the heavy five words of "social responsibility", it can be said that its connotation is extremely rich, how to embody it, I think as a responsible entrepreneur, the key is to first run their own business well, bigger and stronger.

When the enterprise develops, it is not only self-reliant, but also can contribute to the society, pay more taxes to the state, pay employees enough wages and benefits to support their families, and even help the country solve a large number of rural surplus labor.

My Lin Group has a total of 400,000 workers, of which more than 50% are from poor rural areas in the central and western regions of Guibei, Jiangxi, Hunan and Sichuan.

In the future, our Lin Group also plans to recruit employees in Guizhou Province, Yunnan Province, and even Gansu Province in the northwest region to solve the problem of surplus labor for a large number of poor areas.

While talking about social responsibility, people naturally think most about how entrepreneurs can support charity and promote the development of civilized society.

But I am a pragmatic and pragmatic person, I will not express my stance on unfulfilled charitable goals, nor will I do so-called amazing deeds and irresponsible promises, and I will not say what I have not done;

What has been done or not said. It is my temperament and style to provide the company and my personal dedication to the best of my ability.

However, there is one thing I plan to do, but it is just a slap in the face, and I need the support and cooperation of the government to do this, so I will reveal it here. ”

"Oh?" Shui Junyi became interested and asked, "Is there anything else Lin Sheng that you can't do alone?"

Lin Cheng smiled: "I'm not a superman, so naturally I can't do everything by myself." Modern society emphasizes teamwork and cooperation, and this thing wants to be done in close cooperation with enterprises and governments.

Here I would like to reveal that the next step of the Lin Group's charity work is to set up a professional poverty alleviation team, which plans to go deep into the poor areas of the motherland to implement a one-to-one poverty alleviation investment plan.

The so-called poverty alleviation investment means that the Lin Group forms a team of experts to conduct research on poor areas, and then formulates appropriate investment plans according to the actual local conditions, which is often referred to as adapting measures to local conditions.

When the investment plan is approved by the group headquarters, the group will allocate funds to the local area to boost the local GDP, so that the local people can get a way to support themselves, and drive more people out of poverty and become rich. ”
