After eating, after sending Du Mingkang back to the room, Huang Zhenhua and Tan Changguo left, and Chen Jundong also left, because there was a temporary foreign affairs mission, and in the end, only Chen Kangjie and Ouyang Zhenhua accompanied Du Mingkang to chat in the living room of his suite.

"Actually, I've heard of you", after Du Mingkang's life secretary put three cups of tea and withdrew, Du Mingkang said directly to Chen Kangjie.

"Old Du, you've heard of me. Chen Kangjie didn't expect Du Mingkang to say that at the beginning.

"Yes, once when I was talking to Comrade Zhibang about work, he mentioned you, and I was very interested in you at that time."

"Hehe, Uncle Zhao must be making fun of my Hu Luàn, or he is touting, it must be like this."

"Yo, Comrade Zhibang didn't make fun of you, and second, he didn't praise you, today I saw it with my own eyes, Comrade Zhibang and I have known each other for more than ten years, when he was in the Central Committee of the League, we had a jiāo way, he can't speak", Du Mingkang said calmly and sophisticatedly.

Du Mingkang's words point out that he has a good relationship with Zhao Zhibang, and Chen Kangjie really doesn't know this, because Zhao Zhibang has not mentioned it to him.

It is also said that when the central government promotes important figures to important posts, it will consult the opinions of all political parties, and although there are many symbolic elements, it does not mean that they have no effect, and if all fraternal parties oppose a certain person, the central government will not risk such a big disapproval.

"Hehe, Uncle Zhao is indeed such a person, there is not much nonsense, and he is dedicated", Chen Kangjie could only say in agreement.

"Just now Mr. Ouyang said that he had something to ask me, I don't know what it is. Now that the relationship has been closer, it is natural for Du Mingkang to ask later.

"That's right, Mr. Du, we !。 Ouyang Zhenhua said.

"Mr. Ouyang, just call me Mr. Du, I'm not old yet, haha", Du Mingkang said jokingly.

"Yes, Mr. Du is in the prime of life, if he is really old, then what we ask for will be in vain", Chen Kangjie also laughed and joked.

"Haha, yes, Mr. Du, that's right, we plan to set up an independent think tank, called the Yangtze River Society, and we want to invite you to lead it, and you can see if the !, is suitable. Ouyang Zhenhua said after changing his words.

"Independent think tank, Yangtze River Society, your purpose is !!!," Du Mingkang pondered.

"We don't have a special purpose, especially no political purpose, otherwise we wouldn't be called an independent think tank, but we hope to have an institution that gathers a group of experts and scholars who have freedom to do independent research on some political, economic, cultural, strategic, international relations, science and technology, and other issues in our country and the worldChen Kangjie explained.

"I've been in contact with American think tanks, such as the Brookings Institution, founded in 1927, and the ForeignRelations Society, founded in 1921, both of which are supported by the Rockefeller and Morgan consortiums, and the CarnegieEndowmentforlnterNational Peace, founded in 1910, which has a branch dedicated to the study of ChinaFor a long time, this branch has been led by the president of the foundation himself, and they can only be relatively independent, and many of the managers of these think tanks will serve as senior political officials, and the relatively independent think tank I contacted is the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (InternationalCenter for Scholars), which was founded in 1968, and they are also among the top ten well-known think tanks in the United States, which belong to the educational type, and the research field covers the entire humanities and social sciences, especially historyFocusing on political and international relations, the focus of attention is mainly on political governance, the role of the United States in the world, and the long-term challenges facing the United States and the world, etc., the Wilson Center does not directly affect the agenda and goals of the American political administration and legislation, and mainly influences the public in the form of radio programs, public meetings, publications, electronic services, etc.", Mr. Du is a true scholar, and he is naturally no stranger to this thing.

"Although the Yangtze River Society that we want to establish is funded by us, we do not want to interfere with the research direction and topics of the society, and it is completely up to the society to decide.

"Hehe, almost all foreign think tanks have established boards of directors, and the board of directors determines research topics and grants, don't you have such plans? Du Mingkang asked with a smile.

"Ahh Although Chen Kangjie proposed the idea of establishing a think tank, he did not really understand the operation of a think tank.

No matter how smart Chen Kangjie is, it is impossible for him to learn all the knowledge, not to mention that as he gets busier and busier, he has a lot less time to read.

"Hehe, I didn't expect it, how much money are you going to invest in this think tank. Du Mingkang looked very relaxed.

"4 billion US dollars", Ouyang Zhenhua reached on his behalf.

"Ahh Now it was Du Mingkang's turn to be surprised, and he bounced up directly from the sofa.

"I heard you right. Du Mingkang didn't quite believe his ears and confirmed it again.

"You heard it right, I really plan to set up a foundation with $4 billion, and the Yangtze River Society's research funds will come out of it, and the money can also be used for some relatively safe investments to ensure a reasonable return," Chen Kangjie explained with certainty.

"Wow, you guys are really good, do you know, the top ten largest think tanks in the United States, the annual research funding is only more than 400 million US dollars, the average think tank costs more than 40 million US dollars a year, you actually come up with 4 billion US dollars, do you know, the State Y Development Research Center is now less than 100 million a year research funds, it really unthinkable", Du Mingkang said in surprise.

"Hehe, we really haven't thought about this", Chen Kangjie smiled embarrassedly, "But the earliest ones abroad were either established seventy or eighty years ago, and the late ones were also established twenty or thirty years ago, aren't we lagging behind a lot, if we want to catch up, we need huā money."

"This is also the case", Du Mingkang sat down in thought with his arms folded.

"As for the board of directors you mentioned, I think we still don't want to, because we don't want to control the research direction and research topics of the society, of course, maybe we will also commission some research, that's another matter, for the sake of management and inheritance, the society can establish a multidisciplinary selection committee, which can confirm which research is valuable, and then decide how much to fund, and can also set their own management regulations, including the authority and election of the president, etc., for the sake of caution, in a time, for the safety of funds, and not to cause unnecessary speculation and panicAfter all, this is not a small amount, legally speaking, this money belongs to the Yangtze River Society, and this foundation is also a subordinate institution of the Yangtze River Society.

Don't look at Chen Kangjie did not set up the so-called board of directors, but this money is still temporarily controlled in his own hands, as long as the money is controlled, the rest is not a problem, as for how much time this money is controlled, it is completely determined by the future development and maturity of the Yangtze River Society, it can be said that Chen Kangjie still wants to exert some influence when necessary.

Du Mingkang also heard what Chen Kangjie meant, but he couldn't object, he admitted that what Chen Kangjie said made sense, if the outside world knew that their think tank had such abundant funds, it would make many people have a lot of associations and assumptions, and from the ordinary thinking of the Chinese people, it is understandable that so much money is not willing to put it in his hands at once.

"Well, you can do that", Du Mingkang nodded, "By the way, where did you get so much money." ”。

"Hehe, does it matter, if we say it's robbed, believe it or not. Chen Kangjie said with a smile as he picked up the tea.

"Haha, yes, it seems that I am a little presumptuous and foul", Du Mingkang shook his head, he felt that he really shouldn't ask this question like this.

Judging from Du Mingkang's words, Zhao Zhibang did not tell him all the details of Chen Kangjie.

"It's not presumptuous and foul, Mr. Du, our money is not illegal gains, it seems that from the domestic level, there is no way to get so much money illegally, right? Ouyang Zhenhua said with a dissolution.

"Okay, if you really believe me and let me do this leadership position, I'll do it, when can I start working. Du Mingkang was no longer entangled in the source of funds, and readily agreed.

To be able to take charge of such an institution and have sufficient funds to do the research they like is something that every true scholar cannot want, not to mention, once the foundation of this institution is laid well in the early stage, it will leave a huge wealth for future generations and the country, and it can also expand the internal and external influence of the country's soft power, which Mr. Du Mingkang knows very well.

"Mr. Du, it seems that this is up to you, and you can work at any time, but it seems that your first task is to establish this institution and platform, hahaha", Ouyang Zhenhua said heartily.

"Of course, the Yangtze River Society, the English name is thechangjianginstitution, I think the location is in Zhucheng, what do you think? Du Mingkang soon gradually entered his work corner.

"This coincides with Xiaojie's thoughts, far away from the capital, far away from the coast," Ouyang Zhenhua echoed.

"There are fewer constraints in this way, the heroes see the same thing, anyway, I'm already retired, it's time to do what I want to do", Du Mingkang pointed to Chen Kangjie.

"Then thank you in advance, we hope that this society can remain open, whether it is an official or a lawyer, whether it is a scholar or an ordinary student, whether it is a foreigner or a native, as long as you have the ability to do research, as long as you can maintain your independence, you can accept it, and the rest can be given to the old man", Chen Kangjie stood up, stepped forward, and watched the first advertisement, please arrive-
