Yesterday, Zhao Weidong invited his godfather Ye Minghui's family to eat at home, because everyone was in a good mood, and the dishes were prepared very richly, everyone drank more wine, and ate until more than nine o'clock.

Therefore, after going to work today, I went to the cooperative company, and after arriving at the company, Zhao Weidong first went to his office to sit for a while, and carefully looked at the information prepared by the full-time secretary on the desk, which was the relevant information of gold futures.

Zhao Weidong saw that the time was almost up, and it was estimated that he should go to the office and find his godfather. He came to the door of the office, knocked on the door, and the godfather was really there, he pushed open the door and walked to the godfather's office and asked:

"Godfather, what are you busy with?"

"Weidong, come here. I drank too much wine at your place yesterday, hey, I don't forgive people at that age, and I got up late this morning. Is there anything going on here today? ”

"Godfather, that's the case, when I was in China some time ago, I heard that there was going to be a major earthquake in Beijing, Tianjin, and Tangshan, and the damage caused by the earthquake was very serious, like the destruction of the entire city of Tangshan, and the loss was very huge, this is our own motherland, and I want to donate one billion US dollars to the reconstruction of the Beijing, Tianjin, and Tang earthquakes."

"What? If you want to donate a billion (US dollars), there may not be a single person in the world who will donate a billion (US dollars) at a time, you know, you are donating your personal money. ”

"Godfather, in fact, it doesn't matter to tell you, this time the Beijing, Tianjin, Tang earthquake I and Ye Junhao and I made a special trip to Beijing, Tangshan to mobilize earthquake avoidance and disaster reduction, so that the number of earthquake deaths to the minimum, so far has not found that the death due to the disaster, has achieved great success, but the damage of the earthquake is too serious, 95% of all houses in Tangshan City collapsed, and those that did not collapse are also dangerous houses, the entire Beijing, Tianjin, Tang area earthquake damage is serious, I know that the domestic economy is very difficult, In 1975, China's net foreign exchange reserves were only $183 million, so I intend to donate a billion dollars. ”

"Did you really decide to donate so much?"

"Yes, I decided. It's just that I don't have the right person to come forward to donate, and I want you to donate on my behalf in Beijing. ”

"Weidong, you pay the money, and you don't let people know that you donated, you don't do it for money and profit, so I really can't understand what you donate for."

"Godfather, I want to make China strong and make Chinese people all over the world respected."

"Weidong, I am moved by your behavior, but I can't do anything like you."

"I am giving this name to your godfather, and you will come forward to Tianjin to find your cousin Ye Junhao, who is now the director of the Tianjin Revolutionary Committee, and I also told him my willingness to donate, and he will go to the central leadership through the needle, and the two of you can discuss it."

"In that case, I'll do it."

"Godfather, then you give me the account, I will put a billion dollars into the account, and I will give you the original loan of 100 million dollars and interest***. You should arrange donations in China as soon as possible, and at the same time, you should ask the leaders who receive the donations to convey the patriotism of overseas Chinese to the chiefs. ”

"Okay, I've written down everything you said, I'll give you the account, and I'm going to go to China to handle this matter in the next few days."

After getting the account given by the godfather, Zhao Weidong said goodbye to the godfather and left, why Zhao Weidong asked Ye Minghui to tell the chief about this donation, because Zhao Weidong knew that the chief will be next month, that is, at 0:10 on September 9, 1976, the chief will pass away, Zhao Weidong hopes to save the lives and health of all the people who were originally killed and injured by the Beijing, Tianjin and Tang earthquakes, because there is no huge casualties of the Beijing, Tianjin and Tang earthquakes The people have brought great pain and sadness to the chief, He also made a huge donation to express the patriotism of overseas Chinese and bring more happiness to the chief, hoping to prolong the life of the chairman.

Zhao Weidong left Donghui Financial and returned to the chairman's office of Hongyuan International Finance, he pressed the electric bell on the desk, and soon the secretary Li Yafei came to Zhao Weidong's office and asked:

"Chairman, what do you tell me to order?"

"Yafei, that's the case, I have an account here, you ask General Manager Ji Lingjun to deposit $1,112 million into this account, and if she has any questions, let her contact me directly."

"Yes, chairman, I'll do it right away."

After a while, the secretary Li Yafei came to the chairman's office again, took a specially designed note to Zhao Weidong and said:

"Chairman, you fill in this note, and I will send it to General Manager Di immediately."

Zhao Weidong took a careful look at the content, the line is: the chairman's assigned items, the following is the table, there are several columns, one is the content of the assignment, that is, let the general manager of Di Lingjun into this account into 1.112 billion US dollars, the account number is written in the back, the name of Li Yafei is signed on the signature of the manager, the next line is the date of handling, these are the secretary Li Yafei has filled in, the following column is empty, the purpose column is empty, Zhao Weidong knows that this is to be filled in by himself, Zhao Weidong picked up the pen and wrote down the purpose: charitable donations of 100 million (US dollars), repayment of 100 million (US dollars), payment of interest 100 million (US dollars), and added two words at the end: speedy. There are two columns below, one is the signature of the handler and the date of assignment, Zhao Weidong signed his name and the date of assignment, and there is a blank column, which is filled in by the undertaker.

After filling it out, Zhao Weidong handed the note to the secretary Li Yafei, and she said goodbye and left the chairman's office with the note.

On the same day, all the 1.112 billion (US dollars) were transferred to Ye Minghui's account, and after Ye Minghui arranged the company's business and related matters the next day, he called his cousin Ye Junhao to inform him of the flight and the time of arrival.

On the third day, I flew directly to Tianjin, and when I got off the plane, I saw my cousin Ye Junhao leading a group of people to pick up the plane. Cousin Ye Junhao saw Ye Minghui get off the plane with two assistants, and immediately greeted him with a group of people, shook hands very formally, and after the end, he got into the car and left the airport, drove to the best foreign-related hotel in Tianjin, and stayed in the most exclusive suite, after settling down, and other unrelated personnel left, there were two cousins left, and there was no need to hold a shelf when the two were together, they were very relaxed and leaned on the sofa, anyway, they all knew very well what was going on, this was all paid for by the godsons of the two people, and they did things, Of course, all the favors and interests are their gains, this is a matter of benefiting the country and benefiting themselves, the two of them whispered to discuss how to do the most perfect, two people, one is a wise man with rich experience in long-term officialdom and knows the current situation of Chinese officialdom, and the other is a long-term shopping mall, experienced businessman, and it is more convenient to deal with these things.

At noon, the Tianjin Municipal Government held a relatively sumptuous welcome luncheon, although it was not very luxurious, but it fully reflected the hospitality of the host, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After going to work in the afternoon, Ye Junhao immediately called the leader who presided over the work of the central government, expressed the patriotic feelings of foreign Chinese businessmen, and made a detailed report on the situation of donating one billion (US dollars) to the reconstruction of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang earthquake, and asked the leaders for instructions. The head of the Central Committee who heard the report was also taken aback, we are talking about the evils of capitalism, the extreme selfishness of the capitalists, so many socialist countries, when we have been hit by huge natural disasters, they all have more verbal condolences and less actual support, and the country is facing huge economic difficulties, and last year we had such a large country's foreign exchange reserves of only $183 million, which is indeed sad. I didn't expect our Chinese businessman to have such a strong patriotic heart, no worse than any ** person, because he knows how difficult it is to earn a billion dollars, and it is even more difficult to donate the money he has worked hard to earn all his life for free.

The chief instructed Ye Junhao to send patriotic businessmen of Chinese descent to Beijing overnight, check them in at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, and immediately arrange a meeting with them tomorrow morning.

Ye Junhao immediately began to rearrange, the afternoon itinerary continued, the itinerary after dinner should be changed, instructed the relevant personnel to arrange a special train to send the guests to Beijing, accompanied him throughout the whole process, and asked to arrange a car pick-up at Beijing Railway Station.

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Ye Junhao received a notice that the chief would meet with Ye Minghui, a patriotic businessman of Chinese descent, in the Beijing Hall of the Great Hall of the People at 9:30 a.m.

After sitting for a while, the staff came to invite the guests to the Beijing Hall, Ye Junhao accompanied the Chinese businessman Ye Minghui to the Beijing Hall, just walked into the Beijing Hall, the chief was full of energy, walked vigorously to the guests to greet the guests, enthusiastically stretched out his hand to hold Ye Minghui and said:

"Mr. Ye, we are very grateful for your love for the motherland, your patriotic feelings make me deeply grateful, if the Chinese people around the world are as patriotic as Mr. Ye, care about and support the construction and development of the motherland, why worry that the motherland is not strong, and the strong motherland will also become the strongest backing for the Chinese in the world."

The whole meeting was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere, and the two sides spoke freely and exchanged views and opinions on China's economic construction; in the end, Ye Minghui did not forget Zhao Weidong's explanation, and he made a request to the chief:

"Chief, I want to make a request to you, I wonder if it's appropriate?"

"Mr. Ye, if you have any requests, just say it, don't be polite."

"Chief, I respect the chief very much, and I would like to ask you to express to the chief on my behalf the love of our Chinese businessmen for the motherland, thank you."

"Mr. Ye, I am very happy to convey this request of yours."

In the afternoon, the central government held a very grand donation ceremony in the Great Hall of the People, the main leaders of the central government at home attended the donation ceremony, giving Ye Minghui a very high courtesy, but there were few audiences below, without any media, at this time China was still very good-looking, did not accept international aid, in the original time and space, Tangshan earthquake international aid was blocked out: on July 28, 1976, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale instantly leveled Tangshan. In the aftermath of the earthquake, the international community reacted quickly, and for a while, the voice of its willingness to provide assistance quickly reached China. However, the over-cautious approach to foreign aid caused by the current situation did not allow the international community's enthusiasm to stir up any ripples in the devastated China. At that time, the "People's Daily" published an editorial, clearly pointing out that "the self-reliance in disaster relief efforts shows that the people armed with Marxism, Leninism, and the ideology of the chiefs and tested by the proletarian culture are invincible, and that the socialist system of the dictatorship of the proletariat in our country has great superiority." The Chinese delegation to the United Nations circulated the editorial. Countries recognize that China may not want to accept international assistance because of its concerns. The fears of the Western world were soon confirmed. On 30 July, when the Japanese ambassador conveyed Japan's wish for assistance to China, China told the world by rejecting Japan that China would not accept aid from any country, so China did not accept any international aid under extremely difficult circumstances. But this time is different, one is a patriotic Chinese businessman, and the other is a huge donation that is difficult to refuse, so there is such a grand and low-key donation ceremony......
