"President Huang, I don't have any prejudice against the mainland government, and the reason why I made this request is actually for the sake of the central government. Hong Kong will return to China in a few years, and Hong Kong people will be Chinese at that time, and under the 'one country, two systems' system, Hong Kong people will definitely have doubts and distrust of many of the existing systems on the mainland, and this sentiment may take decades of integration to dissolve." The central government probably won't be blindly confident that everything will be fine after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, right? In my opinion, the real problem begins after Hong Kong's return to the motherland. ”

Lin Youlun picked up his coffee and continued: "Under the two different political systems, it is very difficult to build trust between the two sides, and it is easier to destroy than to build. If this is not handled well, the ideological differences between the two sides of the strait will even become wider and wider. ”

Huang Licheng didn't speak, he knew that Lin Youlun mentioned these issues, and there must be something to say.

Lin Youlun took a sip of coffee and said anxiously: "How difficult and prosperous, when a country suffers a huge disaster, it is often the best time to unite the centripetal force of the people, this time in Hong Kong to raise funds for the flood in East China, in my opinion, it is a good opportunity to promote the identity of Hong Kong people to the country, if all sectors of society can donate generously, this is not the best evidence that blood is thicker than water?" ”

Huang Licheng nodded while listening, but he still didn't understand Lin Youlun's intentions, he himself said that this was a good opportunity to unite the centripetal force of the people, and then set up a foundation to supervise the use of charity, isn't this obviously causing trouble for himself?

Lin Youlun saw Huang Licheng's doubts. Then he explained, "But President Huang should not forget either. Any benefit in this world comes with risk. This is certainly a good opportunity to win over the Hong Kong people, but if this matter is not done well, it will leave a huge hidden danger in the future, and if what I am worried about really happens, and it will be exposed by the media in the future, this will be a major blow to the image of the central government in the eyes of the Hong Kong people. ”

Huang Licheng was just about to open his mouth to explain, but Lin Youlun raised his hand to stop him.

"I know that President Huang wants to say that it is unlikely that this kind of thing will happen. But what if it does happen? Since there is such a risk, why not take precautions in advance? I hope that the purpose of establishing this foundation is not only to help the victims of the current flood disaster in East China, but also to play a greater role in the future donation and relief to the mainland, such as education and medical care, and of course, the ultimate goal is to hope that it can become a cornerstone of mutual trust between Hong Kong people and the mainland government. ”

Lin Youlun's series of questions made Huang Licheng not know how to return to Lu Dao, but he was at least sure that Lin Youlun put forward this condition for the long-term overall situation, rather than deliberately embarrassing the central government.

"I can't answer these questions that Mr. Lin mentioned right now. But I believe that in ten or twenty years, China's rulers will give you a satisfactory answer. As for the conditions you mentioned for the establishment of a foundation to supervise the use of charitable funds, I have no way to answer you, everything has to wait for the central government to make a decision. ”

"This time it won't take more than a month to get results, right?" Huang Licheng was very ashamed to ask Lin Youlun's last question, and he immediately said: "Mr. Lin, rest assured, the central government has decided to hold a press conference on the 'Disaster Relief Emergency Appeal' in early July, and I think before that, there will definitely be results." ”

Lin Youlun nodded, "Then I'll wait for the news from President Huang." ”

——

After Huang Licheng figured out Lin Youlun's attitude and thoughts, he wrote a report overnight, which was submitted layer by layer, and finally appeared on the desks of several major national leaders.

There were quite a few differences in the attitude of several leaders on this matter at the beginning, and the old chief heard about this incident and said, "The body is not afraid of the shadow. When did the prostitutes, even lose the confidence to accept the supervision of others? ”

The high-level controversy over the matter came to an end, and the top leaders immediately approved the establishment of a foundation in Hong Kong by Lin Youlun to supervise the use of the funds raised by the foundation.

This decision can be regarded as a break in the existing donation system in China, and when the news came back to Hong Kong, Lin Youlun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The reporter of "Ming Pao" had already set off to the disaster-stricken areas on the mainland to conduct interviews, and after the first news reports on the disaster situation were sent back to Hong Kong to appear in the newspapers, the whole city was shaken.

One of the pictures published was a picture of the people affected by the disaster, homeless, and the temporary tents erected on the Huai River Lift, which stretched endlessly and could not be seen at a glance.

Surprisingly, the Hong Kong entertainment industry, which has always been active about this kind of thing, has collectively lost its voice this time, and two days after the news of the flood in East China was published in "Ming Pao", there is still no relevant person who has come forward to issue a call for donations and relief.

Some people have begun to condemn the inaction of the entertainment industry, but no one who is a little more sane has come forward to speak out.

The reason is very simple, the news about the flood in East China was first reported by "Ming Pao", and these manuscripts were all sent back from the scene, which means that "Ming Pao" had already grasped the relevant news clues at least a week ago, and the "Ming Pao" reporters were able to enter the disaster area smoothly, and there must be the support of mainland officials behind them.

Thinking of Lin Youlun's close relationship with the mainland authorities, this question is easy to explain, but since Lin Youlun has been informed of this matter in advance, he has not reacted for a long time, which makes people a little suspicious.

All this is more like the calm before the storm.

The Hong Kong entertainment industry is also waiting for Lin Youlun to make a statement, he doesn't stand up and call for it, and everyone else has a feeling of being unjustifiable.

Lin Youlun has not been idle during this time, on the one hand, he is waiting for news from the mainland, and on the other hand, he has begun to apply to the Hong Kong government for the establishment of a public welfare foundation, so that the next step is to start fundraising activities.

"Is it really okay to call it a smart fund?" Li Zhi, who was wearing a coffee-colored dress, took a stack of materials and sat next to Lin Youlun.

One of the big reasons for the establishment of the public welfare foundation is because of the name of the foundation, when Lin Youlun was determining the name, he directly put a word in Lizhi's name when determining the name, and people who are familiar with the relationship between the two can easily guess the meaning of this name.

"In the future, you will often go to the mainland to discuss business, and the business card of Youzhi Fund will be much more convenient." Lin Youlun gently pinched Li Zhi's face, "Besides, who doesn't know that you are a famous little rich woman in Hong Kong now, and I still expect that when the fundraising starts, you can donate an extra amount of money to support me, right?" ”

"I know that I use sweet words to coax people." Li Zhi leaned her head on Lin Youlun's shoulder as if she were coquettish.

Lin Youlun hugged Li Zhi's plump body and smiled in her ear: "I must satisfy you tonight, so it should be okay, right?" ”

"Nasty!" Li Zhi pushed Lin Youlun away, straightened the messy hair on his sideburns, and said, "Seriously, how much do you think I should donate this time?" ”

"A few million is fine, don't be too eye-catching." Lin Youlun thought about it and said.

Li Zhi glanced at Lin Youlun, "Then you asked me to donate more just now?" ”

"I asked you to donate more, and I didn't let you donate at one time, doing charity is a long-term thing, and the emphasis is on the long-term flow." Lin Youlun patiently explained.

"Wouldn't it be easier to donate all at once?"

Li Zhicai said this, and Lin Youlun knocked on the door of his head.

"You have been doing business for so many years, how can you put all the money into it at once? And you donated so much this time, what if a bigger disaster happens in the future? Will you donate or not? If you donate, if you donate less, the media will definitely have something to say, isn't it thankless? ”

"You're the one who really struggles, right?" Li Zhi retorted, "You said that you helped raise funds, and you have to supervise the specific use of the funds for nothing, which will not only increase the operating costs of the foundation, but also have no benefit on the mainland government's side, but will make people have scruples about you." ”

Lin Youlun shrugged, "From a purely personal point of view, what you said is true, but sometimes, someone always needs to do something that doesn't make sense, what I'm doing now doesn't make sense, but time will prove that it makes sense." ”

"If you succeed, those charities on the mainland should hate you to death." Lizhi sighed softly.

"Hate me for cutting off their money?" Lin Youlun snorted coldly, "I only know that there is a saying in the Dao that if you don't die, you won't die, if it weren't for their self-isolation, why should you worry about the threat from my side?" Now the wisdom fund is only operating in Hong Kong, this time the central government can make concessions in supervising the use of donations, and in the future, it can make concessions in the liberalization of domestic public charities, and then I will develop the wisdom fund to China, but force those domestic charities to also carry out open and transparent operations, do you say that will be very fulfilling? ”

Li Zhi glanced at Lin Youlun with a complicated expression, she herself is from the mainland, and she has often dealt with mainland officials over the years, and has a very direct understanding of the shortcomings of the mainland government system, and then she has also had contact with some semi-official charities. Lin Youlun's idea seems crazy now, but when you think about it, it is really possible that in a few years there will be a situation like what he said. (To be continued......)
