Chapter 749: Charitable Foundation

After listening to what Chen Zongyi said, Chu Lao smiled and nodded, "Resolute character, simple in heart, unwilling to turn around to deal with his brother for what he wants to get, but he doesn't want to disobey the master's orders, only one death, in the eyes of those who are full of interests, maybe this is a fool's behavior, but in today's society, what is lacking is this kind of righteous person, a few hundred years ago, he may be a figure like Yue Fei." ”

"Zhijun, Zijian, the two of you have done a good job, this apprentice, you should accept it, but you must tell him that this society is sinister, don't let him use the righteousness in the wrong place." Chu Lao continued with a solemn face.

Li Zhijun and Wang Zijian nodded heavily, and said in a condensed voice: "Old Chu, we understand. In fact, the current Bertaman is much more mature and stable than before, and he also knows that this society is far more complex than he imagined, and it is not like in Gaza Kala, where you can have everything with a gun.

"Okay, Betaman, the first time we met, I didn't have anything else on me, this string of Buddhist beads will be given to you, I hope you can face all difficulties calmly and purly on the road of martial arts in the future." Chu Lao smiled, took off the string of Buddhist beads he was wearing from his wrist, and handed it to Bertaman.

Fang You looked at it slightly, but nodded, this is a string of jade Buddha bead bracelets, the whole body is turquoise, its water has reached the ice glutinous species, the soft light of the original glutinous seed and the crystal foil of the ice seed, it looks soft and shining, full of the solemn and sparkling meaning of Buddhism.

And from the oily and shiny color of its jadeite, it can be seen that the string of Buddhist beads worn by Chu Lao should be very long.

Seeing that Bertaman hesitated, Chen Zongyi patted him gently, "Xiaobei, what are you hesitating about, this object has been in the hands of Old Guy Chu for some years, hurry up and take it." ”

"Thank you, Master." Bertaman took the Buddha bead bracelet from Chu Lao's hands with both hands and said respectfully.

"Old man Chen, you are really in the eyes of money." Chu Lao pointed at Chen Zongyi helplessly.

Chen Zongyi smiled, but he saw Fang You, and his eyes lit up suddenly, "By the way, Old Guy Chu, Fang Boy is my apprentice, and he is going to hold an apprenticeship ceremony with Berteman recently, but you haven't given a meeting gift yet, what's the matter, don't you mean it now, make up for it." ”

"Haha, old man Chen, give me a meeting gift, you can't run either, isn't it, Xiaoyou." Hearing Chen Zongyi's words of blackmail, Chu Lao laughed.

"Fang boy, what's the situation?" Chen Zongyi looked at Fang You with some confusion.

Fang You smiled lightly, "Master, Elder Chu has carefully taught me to learn antique knowledge, almost never interrupted in the past few years, I can have such attainments in antiques, which is inseparable from Elder Chu's teaching, so, Elder Chu, like you, is my master." ”

Chen Zongyi was a little crazy, indeed, according to common sense, Old Chu was definitely Fang You's master, and this master did it earlier than him.

"Prepare, prepare, you're not afraid of what I'm afraid of, anyway, I earned one." Chen Zongyi said with a depressed face.

"Alas, it seems that some apprentices have been collecting money back and forth recently." Elder Chu sighed and said faintly.

Chen Zongyi's eyes widened suddenly, and then he laughed, "Old guy Chu, there is something to discuss, it's good to discuss, it's a big deal, I'll prepare one more." ”

"Look at what scares you." Old Chu shook his head and smiled, "Xiao You, the gift I gave you, wait until the day you apprentice and then take it out, Old Man Chen, you can't rely on the debt, Xiao You is your apprentice, but you haven't even given a good thing." ”

"Give, give." Chen Zongyi wanted to cry and said without tears.

Chu Lao smiled, asked the nanny on the side to take out the Huadiao wine, and drank it with everyone.

"Xiaoyou, you have achieved such amazing results in Africa, and your career can enter a stage of rapid development, so to speak, money, for you, is just a set of numbers, in the future, do you have any plans." While drinking, Chu Lao asked with a smile on his face.

Fang You naturally heard the deep meaning in Chu Lao's words, and he said with a smile: "Chu Lao, I won't tell you anything, I am planning to set up a charitable foundation recently. ”

"Oh, the Charity Foundation, this is a good way to make money, Xiaoyou, are you really sure?" Chu Lao said with a smile.

Fang You nodded, naturally knowing what Chu Lao was referring to, "Chu Lao, make money, I can have many means to make money, it is more convenient and faster than the foundation, and the benefits are huge, I don't have any big ambitions, to become the savior of everyone or something, I just want to send a warmth and a blessing to those who are in suffering, so that they can know that there are still many people in this society who care about them, so it is enough." ”

As for the charitable foundation, Fang You also once understood that the charitable foundation is now mainly founded by various government departments, and has a strong government-run color.

The transparency of this kind of government-controlled foundation is not at all known to ordinary people, and the efficiency of the management of the funds received by the donations is also very delayed.

As a charitable foundation, a pure charity is a non-governmental organization, and the government should be a supervisory unit, not a founding unit, which is equivalent to being a referee and an athlete, and it is impossible to effectively manage the donated funds.

However, the state-stipulated foundation management charter stipulates that the expenditure of foundations with public fundraising qualifications for public welfare undertakings shall not be less than 70% of the amount of donations received in the previous year, and no one knows whether the major foundations founded by various government departments have used this figure.

This is also what Chu Lao said, this is the origin of a good way to make money, if a foundation has a huge influence, then the amount of donations it accepts is also very large, even if it is only 30% left, then it is also an extremely large number, which is also the main reason why various government departments actively establish major foundations.

Charitable foundations are divided into non-public foundations and public foundations, the main difference is whether they have the qualifications to raise funds from the public.

Non-public charitable foundations are mainly established by some enterprises or influential individuals, and their funding sources are mainly funds from the operation of the enterprise, and some fixed private donations, and it is not very difficult to approve foundations of this nature.

Almost all of the public foundations were founded by major government departments, such as the Huaxia Youth Development Foundation, which was founded by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and the Children's Development Foundation, which was founded by the Women's Federation.

There are more than one billion people in China, even if 100 million donate only one dollar, the funds constituted are an incomparably huge wealth, which is also the main reason for the difficulty of approval, as for other reasons, it is not enough for outsiders.

Fang You once learned that the One Foundation, founded by Chinese kung fu superstar Li Chengjie, was only affiliated with the charity programs and projects of the Chinese Red Cross at the beginning, and also did not have any autonomy.

Li Chengjie once revealed that he wanted to set up a public charitable foundation with an identity in the private sector, which would make it easier to raise funds, because when his foundation cooperated with the World Health Organization and other international charities, it was in an embarrassing situation because it did not have his own identity.

Because institutions like them are affiliated with government foundations, if they want to engage in any public welfare activities, they must obtain the seal and consent of the competent unit, this process is extremely cumbersome and complicated, and sometimes it takes half a year for a public welfare project to be approved.

However, it is very difficult to set up a private public fundraising foundation, coupled with the Red Cross to which Li Chengjie is attached, so that One Foundation was recognized by relevant departments in the third year after its establishment, and officially became a charitable foundation with independent public fundraising activities.

Listening to Fang You's words, Old Chu nodded with a smile, "Xiaoyou, you have always been down-to-earth in development, this time there is still no exception, the main purpose of the charitable foundation is to help those in need, we don't need them to be grateful, we just need to give them warmth and care." ”

"A charitable foundation is not a savior, but a way to let people in distress know that someone is paying attention to them and someone is trying to help them, which is the purpose of charity."

Chu Lao smiled and continued: "Xiaoyou, are you going to set up a non-public or public charitable foundation?" ”

"Elder Chu, I believe that you must have made a decision now." Fang You said calmly.

"Xiaoyou, I believe that with your character, you have also made a decision, although you now have a huge amount of wealth, but you can only help a few people, if you want to help more people, then you must gather the strength of the whole society to do charity activities, so that we can do our best to help those who are in suffering, with the current influence of your Longyou Auction House, the public fundraising foundation, there is no problem." Chu Lao said with a smile.

"But ......" With the words, Chu Lao's expression became solemn, "But a publicly-funded foundation must have strict capital control capabilities, otherwise, the government will never trust the large amount of funds raised by the whole society to private foundations." ”
