Chapter 375: Good for the World
"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world", this famous sentence from "Mencius: Dedication to the Chapters and Sentences" is almost the core portrayal of the moral cultivation of scholars in China's thousands of years of traditional Confucian culture.
In comparison, the core idea in the American Marvel superhero movie: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility" (ith great poer comes great responsibility), it seems much more straightforward and crude.
Lin Feng was an ordinary person in his previous life, he could make money to support his family, and it was good to live a worry-free life, for these metaphysical things, that is, after tea and dinner, he looked at Lele.
If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.
But now, through being born again, he has too many things.
Wealth, fame, power, status......
Money is a good thing.
There is a saying that money is not everything.
In fact, there is a saying at the end: however, money can solve 99% of the world's problems.
Lin Feng's net worth is now more than 200 billion yuan, to be honest, in 2009, this number is already terrifying, and now is not 4 trillion later, the era of RMB over-issuance, the energy represented by these money is very huge.
Of course, most of them are company shares, and Lin Feng can't use them all.
But take out some of it, and you can do a lot of .......
Lin Feng is not like Ma Yun, who has so many dreams of literary and artistic youth when he was young.
It's not like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, who donate money to foundations to study worldwide refugees, AIDS and other issues.
He was not that great and cared about the fate of all mankind......
He is Chinese and only cares about his country!
The people of Africa are suffering, and the world's terminal diseases such as cancer and AIDS really need more capable people to help solve them.
But Lin Feng hopes to do something to help solve some domestic problems, some hometown problems, which is very good.
Lin Feng remembered that when he was a child, when he went back to his hometown in Tianshui, those children had to walk a long way to go to school......
I remembered that after I arrived in the capital from university, the people in the dormitory joked and asked him if he rode a camel to school in the northwest?
At that time, Lin Feng also joked, and said: Yes, we ride camels to school every day, and the downstairs of the school is the shed where the camels are parked......
Although this is a joke, it also shows that for China, in addition to the big cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, it is indeed prosperous, and in the northwest, there are many places in his hometown that are very poor.
In addition to the mountains, there are mountains, and there are many children in the countryside who cannot afford to go to school;
There is a lack of drought and rain, and there is a shortage of water, and children of a few years old have to carry water home from a long distance;
There is a lack of medical facilities, and there is not necessarily a hospital in a single township, only in the larger towns there are infirmaries......
Lin Feng felt that maybe he was capable now and should do something for his hometown.
It's not just about donating money, it's not about doing any charity, it's about finding ways to make your hometown rich and people's lives better.
Lin Feng has also done a lot of charity over the years, but most of it is out of interest or reputation considerations.
For example, after Menglong went public, when he returned to his hometown, he donated to the "Hope Project" and "Mother's Water Cellar" project.
For example, after the Wenchuan disaster, Lin Feng donated 100 million yuan each for post-disaster reconstruction through the Maple Leaf Foundation and Fengxing Group in his personal name.
These are fragmented, random behaviors that, to be honest, are a drop in the bucket and don't change the actual situation.
In fact, from 2000, when the country put forward the "Western Development" strategy, to 2017, before Lin Feng's rebirth, the northwest was still the poorest region in China, and Gansu accounted for 6 of the 20 poorest cities in the country.
Although the country's "One Belt, One Road" strategy later brought a new layout and opportunities to the northwest from regional advantages, it was not until 2015.
Lin Feng thought, is it possible to start now, can we do something earlier to help my hometown develop faster?
If you talk about dreams.
Lin Feng thought that he now has a dream: "Let the children in the northwest go to school, drink water, and see a doctor! Let the hometown be more beautiful, and people's lives will be rich and happy!"
This is a big dream, and Lin Feng's own ability alone is far from enough, and more needs to be promoted at the national and policy levels.
But he can start doing it first, and through his influence, let more people pay attention and participate......
He can promote the realization of this dream by using economic and profit means!
In his previous life, Ma Huateng was in Shenzhen and was committed to promoting the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area;
Ma Yun turned his hometown of Hangzhou, and even Zhejiang Province, into a major e-commerce province.
Liu Qiangdong has also turned his hometown of Suqian into various bases of JD.com......
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, these successful entrepreneurs have all contributed to the development of their hometowns.
and Lin Feng's thoughts at this time are the same.
Of course, compared with eastern Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is obviously hellish to promote the development of the northwest......
However, in terms of western development, there is a very good template, that is, mountain towns.
In Lin Feng's previous life, Shancheng ranked first in China in terms of GDP growth rate in the next few years, leading the country.
Of course, as the only municipality directly under the central government in the west, Shancheng has a unique policy advantage and national investment support, but it is undeniable that during the economic transition period, Shancheng absorbs a large number of electronic processing and manufacturing industries (3C assembly) withdrawn from coastal cities, and lays out the automobile industry and financial industry.
By 2017, Shancheng has become the world's largest production base for laptops, mobile phones, tablets and other smart terminals, and the output of automobiles also ranks first in the country, and Shancheng has also become an offshore financial settlement center.
Lin Feng began to think about how to learn from the development model of the mountain city and combine the resources in his hands to develop his hometown.
The Northwest has a harsher natural environment and traffic conditions than the Southwest, but it is not without merit.
First of all, the industrial model of automobiles and IT assembly is not affected by too much climate and environment, and a sufficient scale of investment and clustering can be promoted.
Secondly, we can learn from the concept of "Silk Road Economic Belt" in the future "Belt and Road" strategy, and believe that with Lin Feng's current status and leadership exchanges with some northwest provinces, we can also promote the emergence of strategies in this area faster than in previous lives.
Taking Lanzhou as an example, in fact, its location is located in the land center of China's territory, whether it is connecting the east and west, or facing the southwest, it has a unique geographical advantage, and is one of the transportation hubs in the west.
Lin Feng's Cool Wind, the next step is definitely to expand production capacity, you must know that the iPhone sold 200 million units a year at its peak in the previous life, and Foxconn, as its main foundry, has become a guest of the leaders of major provinces in China, no matter where to invest in the construction of factories are extremely popular.
The influence and sales of Xphone in this life are no worse than those of the IPhone, and I believe that with the development of the next few years, the Cool Wind system is also a very large industrial group, and Lin Feng can exert its influence and invest in the construction of factories in the northwest region.
In addition to the IT assembly industry, there is also the automotive industry.
Internet cars are one of the core products that major giants have made efforts in the future, such as new energy vehicles, driverless cars, artificial intelligence vehicles, etc., which are one of the important applications of Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technology.
Fengxing will definitely need to be laid out in this aspect in the future, and it is not difficult to tilt appropriately to the northwest region......
Thinking about it this way, it seems to be feasible!
Of course, this kind of investment is not as simple as finding a promising company in the future and investing a sum of money in the way that Lin Feng was familiar with before.
Whether it is talent, technology, R&D, construction, policy support...... This kind of industry needs to be very cautious and rigorous after research and demonstration, invest a huge amount of R&D funds and time, fixed asset investment, especially need to be supported at the national level, it is possible to succeed.
After all, it's not charity, it's business.
However, Lin Feng happens to have money and time, he is only 30 years old, and he can use at least 10-20 years to operate slowly.
Compared with Bezos going to a rocket company for more than 10 years, Lin Feng feels that his choice is more valuable......
…………
Of course, industrial investment is not a trivial matter, from the preliminary planning, project approval, to the real implementation, it may take a few years, but there is no immediate effect.
Lin Feng is ready to start looking for experts to conduct research and feasibility study analysis now.
In addition to industrial investment, the fastest way to help your hometown is to start from the perspective of charitable foundations.
Lin Feng admires a person in the entertainment industry very much, Gu Tianle.
In my previous life, there was a saying on the Internet: The only one who can black Gu Tianle is the sun.
In fact, it means to express netizens' love and admiration for Louis Koo, a Hong Kong movie star who has been low-key in public welfare and has donated more than 90 primary schools in poor areas in the mainland.
This act of kindness is touching.
Lin Feng's net worth and ability are naturally much stronger than Gu Tianle, so he thinks that the first step is to start from the aspect of public welfare.
In October 2009, the Maple Leaf Foundation held a press conference in Beijing.
At the press conference, Lin Feng, Honorary Chairman of the Maple Leaf Foundation, and Ye Weiyu, Chairman of the Board of Directors, attended the conference and announced that the Maple Leaf Foundation will donate 10 billion RMB in the next three years to carry out the "Northwest Hope Primary School" program, the "Northwest Mother's Water Cellar" and the "Northwest Love Infirmary" program.
According to this plan, the Maple Leaf Foundation will cooperate with the China Youth Foundation, the China Women's Development Foundation and the Red Cross Foundation of China to build 3,000 hope primary schools, 20,000 mothers' water cellars and 3,000 grassroots caring infirmaries in Gansu, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Qinghai and Xinjiang provinces. Efforts should be made to ensure that every township in the five northwestern provinces can build a Hope Primary School, five mothers' water cellars, and one grassroots infirmary.
As soon as this news was announced, the whole country was in an uproar.
This is the largest single public welfare fund in this area in China so far!
At the press conference, Lin Feng emphasized that the Maple Leaf Foundation's plan is not simply to donate to relevant national foundations, but the Maple Leaf Foundation to carry out the plan independently in a cooperative way, and the foundation will set up a professional team to be responsible for the implementation of these three plans.
Lin Feng said that this public welfare project of the foundation will be his most important cause in addition to Fengxing Group and Coolwind Technology!
