Chapter 474: A Request

"Don't change the amount of the donation," Su Aijun stopped the excited Director Zhang.

"Huh?" Director Zhang was stunned again, if it was Su Aijun who didn't know the inside story of the donated materials at first, it was understandable, and now he has taken the initiative to change this amount for them and make a name for them, why did Professor Su refuse? After spending so much money and rejecting a good opportunity to become famous, isn't this professor at Jiaotong University stiff in his head? If it were someone else, I wish they could count more.

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it; Heaps out of the shore, the flow will be turbulent, the line is higher than the people, and the crowd must not be" Su Aijun saw the surprise in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Director Zhang, the owner of Carrefour Supermarket, just hopes to be able to do his part for the affected people, and this limelight is not necessary." So as not to have more trouble in the future. So, as long as you and the leaders of the flood control and disaster relief headquarters know, it's okay. Don't preach it anymore."

Director Zhang was stunned for a long time, and then he understood what Su Aijun meant. If the news of Carrefour Supermarket's donation of more than 30 million yuan is released, Carrefour Supermarket will become the largest donation amount among domestic enterprises, including state-owned enterprises. Isn't this a slap in the face of those state-owned enterprises? In particular, those state-owned monopolies such as oil and electricity may applaud Carrefour supermarket's behavior on the surface, but secretly, they may be scolded for not understanding the rules.

In fact, Su Aijun didn't think of this at first, but later learned that Fang Mingyuan actually asked his subordinates to estimate the value of this batch of flood control and disaster relief materials based on the cost of purchasing materials, so that the value of this batch of materials naturally shrank significantly. At that time, he also asked Fang Mingyuan to do this. Fang Mingyuan replied to him with those words at that time. Now, he has repeated it to Director Zhang word for word. Su Aijun is not Fang Mingyuan, he naturally doesn't know the unbelievable things that Fang Mingyuan knew in his previous life. Since the Warring States Period, after the Tian family usurped the throne of the Jiang family and ruled the Qi State, the rulers of the past dynasties have been wary of the wealthy and active accumulation of virtue and good deeds. Shen Wansan of the Ming Dynasty is a good example.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the widespread poverty of the people, all the means of production were owned by the state or collective, and this kind of thing disappeared. However, after the implementation of the reform and opening up policy, some people became rich first. Not all of these people are unwilling to give back to society the wealth they have obtained. But what happened was chilling.

There have been people who have openly helped those who cannot afford to see a doctor, paying for their medical bills, and after the newspapers reported it, although it also received a lot of praise, it was followed by a demand from all directions, and the reasons for the demand were some even strange. What made people laugh even more afterwards was that some neighboring county and city governments actually issued red-headed documents to patients who were supposed to be covered by the government, asking these people to come to him for reimbursement of their medical expenses. Later, some people called this kind of behavior "reimbursement by order".

As an individual, no matter how much his wealth is, after all, it is limited, after this person has exhausted millions of assets, there is still a steady stream of people who come to ask for money, and if he can't get money, he tosses in his house, and even insults and beats his family, so angry that his old mother was admitted to the hospital and Zuihou died.

As for those "meteor" enterprises that have been eaten down because of the "fate" in all directions, there are countless in China.

Therefore, on the one hand, it is out of consideration like Director Zhang, so as not to damage the face of those large state-owned enterprises and make enemies needlessly; On the other hand, it was also for the sake of a situation where people from all over the world came to "turn their fate", so Fang Mingyuan decided to donate "low-key". Director Zhang pondered for a moment, but nodded in response-people don't want to be famous, so why should they bother. Moreover, in Pengxu City, there is now a Carrefour supermarket that is preparing to open, and he also knows a little about the background strength of Carrefour supermarket. Naturally, they will not grudge with each other for this kind of thing. The two sides soon reached an agreement on the matter.

"Director Zhang, there is one more thing that I have to inform you in advance, the use and allocation of this batch of materials will be completely decided by the flood control and disaster relief headquarters, and we will not interfere at all." Su Aijun completely showed his attitude with the two, but his next words made Director Zhang secretly frown. "However, the results of your use of these materials will be monitored by a supervisor to ensure that these materials are distributed to those who really need them. That's the only thing we ask of you. ”

Director Zhang has the heart to refuse, no one likes to do things under the supervision of others, some people feel that this is too restrictive, especially being supervised by the people, which makes them feel embarrassed; There are also people because of this, which also cuts off their room to use their hands and feet and make oil and water.

But he didn't dare to refuse directly, after all, the other party had just donated a huge amount of more than 30 million yuan of materials, which greatly alleviated the difficulty of insufficient materials for the Pengxu City Flood Control and Disaster Relief Headquarters, and the other party did not ask for a name, but only proposed to know the whereabouts of the donated materials, which was not too much. If they all refuse, it will inevitably seem that the Pengxu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are too much. If you anger the Carrefour supermarket, it may not be easy to ask the other party to donate in the future.

Director Zhang's heart moved, and he smiled: "Professor Su, Assistant Lin, as a personal person, of course, I welcome you to send personnel to participate in the distribution of flood control and disaster relief materials. Don't you know, now there are tens of thousands of victims in Pengxu City, the weather is not beautiful at all, the heavy rain is one after another, our manpower is tight, if you can send people to participate in this work, it can also relieve our work pressure. But to be honest, there is no precedent for your request in Pengxu City, and I am a light speaker, and I can't make the decision on this matter with my personal opinion, so I will immediately report your request to the leaders of the flood control and disaster relief headquarters to see their opinions. ”

Su Aijun also sighed secretly, to be honest, from the beginning, he was not optimistic about Fang Mingyuan's request, the Huaxia government said it badly, it has always been a big government, needless to say during the Jihua economic period, now the reform is only limited to the economic field, but the reform in the political field is stagnant, the government officials say that they are "servants of the people", in fact, many people think they are "official masters", how can you ordinary people supervise their work. But Fang Mingyuan insisted on asking for this, and he could only reluctantly do it.

Although Su Aijun also knew that in the face of such a large-scale natural disaster, there would definitely be people secretly extending their hands on the state's appropriations and people's donations of materials, but he felt that in such a large country, the overall quality of the people was not high, and the good and bad of the people were uneven, and it was inevitable that this kind of thing would occur, and the government had been cracking down this situation, and I believed that with the passage of time, this phenomenon could finally be controlled within a tolerable range. If you want to make this officialdom as clear as water and as clear as a mirror, developed countries can't do it either.

But how did he know that in the future, there will be more and more such vicious incidents, and the nature will become more and more bad. Due to the lack of supervision, governments at all levels have embezzled disaster relief funds, national donations, luxury cars, luxury office buildings, and even overseas travel. This also led to the extreme shrinkage of China's non-governmental philanthropy in the future, and the people's enthusiasm for charitable donations was not high, and the government had to make apportioned donations whenever there was a natural disaster. It's not that the people don't have love, it's not that the people don't want to help those compatriots who are suffering from disasters, it's that people are really unwilling to turn their hard-earned money into small coffers, car purchases, and luxury offices at all levels of government

"Then it's troublesome Director Zhang, please explain the situation to the leaders of the Pengxu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Committee, our Carrefour supermarket is a Hong Kong joint venture, although the Hong Kong shareholders have no objection to this donation, but Hong Kong people have always asked someone to supervise the implementation of similar donations. We also have to take into account people's habits, right? This is also an explanation to Hong Kong shareholders. If things go satisfactorily, we can discuss with our Hong Kong shareholders when we need them in the future. Su Aijun laughed in Director Zhang's ear in a low voice.

"That's it." Director Zhang showed a look of sudden realization, "Then I must explain the situation clearly to the leaders of the flood control and disaster relief headquarters, and we must also take into account the mood of Hong Kong compatriots, we can't let people donate things, and we are not happy."

By the time the handover of the materials was basically completed, it was about eight o'clock in the evening, and everyone casually settled dinner in this warehouse. When Su Aijun and his party left the South Railway Station, it was still raining in the sky, but it was much smaller than Fang Cai.

"Director Zhang, do you want us to send you back to the Flood Control and Disaster Relief Headquarters?" Su Aijun said with a smile.

"No, no, no, I won't bother a few people." Director Zhang saw the white car belonging to the flood control and disaster relief headquarters in the yard, shook his head and smiled, "I still have work to continue here, and now it's getting late, so let's go back to the hotel early to rest after working hard all the way." As for your request, I think it will come to fruition tomorrow. ”

Su Aijun didn't say anything more, and the two sides separated.
