Chapter 211: Difficulties and Benefits

When Prince Abdullah sat back in his seat, Dudliwei said in bewilderment: "Mr. Fang, I think that such a great good deed as you and Mr. Guo Dongcheng should be announced to the whole Shijie. In order to attract more people to lend a helping hand to Kuwait's current predicament, weishenme, you still ask for secrecy? ”

In Europe and the United States, philanthropy is a kind of social welfare undertaking that benefits the society and the people, and is a necessary supplement to the social security system. Only in the UK. There are tens of thousands of charities of all kinds, and the annual fundraising is a huge amount of money. The UK government has to allocate billions of dollars a year to support charity in the country, and citizens raise money from society in a variety of ways. Those who are rich in their own countries are strong supporters of philanthropy. Even members of the British royal family will create various charities. to help those in need. And for those who support philanthropy, whether it is the government or the media, there will be a lot of praise for it. Like Fang Mingyuan, he donated 50 million US dollars this time, even if it was placed in the United Kingdom. It's also a sensational event.

Fang Mingyuan was a little embarrassed, although he had been mentally prepared for such a result, but when he really needed to explain, he was still a little unable to open his mouth.

It's not that he didn't think about it, this time he made such a huge profit in futures, whether he should donate some of it in China, and also win some good name for the Fang family to help those in need. But after thinking about it again, Fang Mingyuan still couldn't make up his mind

Philanthropy in China is fundamentally different from philanthropy in Europe and the United States. In European and American countries, those charities, 10 percent, are private charities, of which public funds account for only a small proportion, and these charitable organizations if they want to carry out public fundraising activities. As long as the administrative permission of the government is obtained every year, it can be carried out. In China, more than 99 percent of charities are public charities, and if a private charity wants to be established, it must be attached to a public institution, that is, to find a mother-in-law to manage it, before it can apply to the state civil affairs department for establishment.

However, many units are not willing to be affiliated with non-governmental charities and take on this responsibility and risk. Because these units will take into account the "civil nature" of the charity. "I'm afraid of political risks, and I'm afraid that if there is corruption in the process of operation, it is easy to arouse public indignation, which will affect the latest chapter of the magic painting god of this unit. However, if it is held from the top down, it will be more controllable. Almost 100 percent of the existing charities in China are officially owned, top-down foundations run by government departments themselves.

And this nature of charity, has a big drawback, because it is a government-run organization, then the officials of the charity must first be responsible for the government and the leadership, in short, in order to protect the black yarn hat, but also must listen to the government. In addition, the financial situation is extremely opaque, and it is difficult to find out the whereabouts of all donated funds and materials, so it is easy for charitable funds to be misappropriated by government agencies. Charitable donations became welfare funds for government departments. Moreover, the staff of these charities are not highly motivated to work because they receive government salaries and hold iron rice bowls. Failing to put the protection of donors' emotions and respect for their rights in the most important position is not conducive to stimulating the public's enthusiasm for charity. And these charities are bringing in talent. Policies, directions, and implementation are subject to the control of the competent business authorities. If you want to become bigger and stronger, there are many limitations.

Fang Mingyuan remembered that in his previous life, there was a charity that announced its financial expenditures, of which only 30 percent of the expenditure was spent on charity, and the remaining 70 percent was spent on charity. It has become an administrative expense for the charity. According to reports, every time a British charity raised money from a British charity during the same period, pennies were directly used for various charitable aids. There are also pennies for further fundraising, which can usually be reraised from these expenses, and only 4p of the money is used for administrative expenses. Other words. Administrative expenses account for only 4 per cent. Many charities do not have a bus for management, the paper used to print documents in the office must be on both sides, and managers are not allowed to travel business class when they go abroad. Charities with annual administrative expenses of more than $10,000 are required to submit quarterly financial statements to the UK Charities Authority for audit. It is also subject to inspection by external auditors. Large international charities such as the International Red Cross, Save the Children and Vision never spend more than 10 percent of their administrative expenses. Such a result. How can you not chill those who are interested in donating?

But he can't talk directly to Prince Abdullah about these shortcomings of domestic philanthropy, and Bing'er Chuan 2 can't easily deal with King Abdullah's bad and good government, Du Deyang's people. And Britain's current relationship with China is in a quagmire after a few years, and if this word spreads, once it suddenly appears in foreign newspapers one day, it will be difficult for him to do it at home. That's definitely going to be what Qianfu is referring to.

"This is what Old Man Guo meant, and of course I agree with Master Mystery very much. The old man doesn't want people to misunderstand, he is donating to your country in order to make a name for himself. And I don't hide it from the two of you, there are many people in need of help in Hong Kong and China today, and such a large amount of money donated to your country will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people and bring unnecessary trouble to Mr. Guo and me. So. Before coming. Mr. Guo repeatedly told me that I must donate anonymously. His Royal Highness Prince Abdullah is also requested to agree to this. Fang Mingyuan could only push this reason onto Old Man Guo.

"Old Mr. Guo is really a good man, may Allah keep him safe all his life!" Happiness forever! Prince Abdullah praised. Du Deli Wei Haha laughed twice, but in his heart, he secretly cursed Fang Mingyuan for their cunning. These Arabs, though also very cunning in commercial trade, wanted to make a deal with them. It takes not only patience, but also wisdom. But these Arabs, who are at the same time generous to their friends, meet the natives in Arabia and it is better not to lightly show appreciation for their watches, buckles or other supplies. Arabs tend to be generous enough to give them to you on the spot, and if you don't accept them, you'll hurt their feelings. Dudley remembers it. A few years ago, a Japanese man went to Kuwait to buy oil, and at that time he only praised the other party's car, and as a result, a luxury car worth millions of dollars went into his pocket. If Fang Mingyuan can really get the friendship of the members of the Kuwaiti royal family, then once Kuwait is restored, as long as the oil in the ground is not illuminated. The benefits aren't rolling in! The 50 million dollars were not unjustly spent!

Prince Adullah handed the cheque to the servant to collect it. At this time, the other party Mingyuan was naturally more enthusiastic, and was cordially called by Prince Abdullah. The three of them went to the restaurant for dinner.

Compared with the Arabic meal that Fang Mingyuan ate yesterday, the banquet prepared by Prince Abdullah was naturally sumptuous, and the chef's skills were even more exquisite. Fortunately, after some practice yesterday, Fang Mingyuan was vigilant all the time, and he didn't make any jokes.

"Fang, where do you live?" Prince Abdullah asked casually, and now he no longer calls Fang Mingyuan Mr. Fang, but calls him "Fang"

"We came in a hurry, and we are not familiar with the situation here, so we live in the office of Kuok's Shipping Group in Saudi Arabia, so it is convenient to find someone to help if there is anything." Fang Mingyuan washed his hands in the clear water on the side, and the latest chapter of the Airborne Division of the Republic of China. The inability to use this hand made him feel very uncomfortable.

"In the office?" Prince Abdullah frowned slightly, he didn't understand that Fang Mingyuan, who was able to get tens of millions of dollars to donate unconditionally. How not to live in a luxury hotel.

He beckoned to the servant and whispered a few words. Only then did he turn his head and say to Fang Mingyuan: "Fang, I still have a small villa here, located by the sea, if you don't dislike it, these days of stay in Saudi Arabia." You can stay there. It's convenient to do anything. Back. Someone took you there. You are my honored guest. You don't have to be inhibited there. Just keep it in your own home, and use all the stuff to your heart's content. ”

Fang Mingyuan was taken aback, he didn't expect that this person would actually find a place to live for himself. He was just about to excuse himself, but Prince Abdullah had already said solemnly: "Fang, this is a little bit of a friend's heart!" ”

Dudliwe also glared at him again and again, in Arabia, if there is no better reason for such a thing, if there is a more hode place to stay, it is better to agree, otherwise Prince Abdullah will think that you look down on him.

Fang Mingyuan only nodded yes, and then Prince Abdullah smiled, and after the meal, his own servants brought all kinds of refreshments.

Fang Mingyuan looked at the time, it was already after nine o'clock in the evening, so he got up to say goodbye, and Du Deliwei naturally stood up with him.

Prince Abdullah got up to see him off, walked to the door of the house, and the servants on the side gave two copper incense burners, the charcoal fire in the furnace burned sandalwood, and the fragrant green smoke was rising, Prince Abdullah handed it to the two of them with his own hands, Fang Mingyuan and Dudleywei took it, fanned the cigarette into their arms a few times, and handed it back to Prince Abdullah. Then put on two drops of perfume and repeat the etiquette when entering the door.

Prince Adullah then took the two of them by the arm and sent them all the way to the courtyard, and someone drove Dudley's car over, followed by a silver-white Rolls-Royce.
