Chapter Seventy-Four: The Goose Plucks Its Feathers (Part II)
The first volume is coming to an end, and there are only two shifts left today, and I'm going to work soon, and I've been very busy with the recent civil service exam.
Collect! Ask for recommendations! All kinds of requests!
"Wife, look at the minister."
"It's exactly the same as in the newspaper, what a minister!"
"Ye Tiansheng wants to be the president of the Orphan Charity Foundation? Too young and too sloppy, right? ”
"I think it's good! He is the most suitable for him, and he can really think about the children. ”
"I think it's weird, can't a word from the minister improve the children's bad situation?"
"Stupid to death, this is to erect an image. And how much does it cost to spend so many orphans in the country every year? Setting up a charitable foundation can reduce expenses. ”
……
Ouyang Yu looked at Ye Tiansheng, is this taking advantage of the fire to rob?
"You should tell Minister Cai, it's useless to tell me, I can't use this money." Ouyang Yu whispered.
Ye Tiansheng and Ouyang Yu looked at each other for a while, feeling that he didn't seem to be lying, and nodded slightly and walked towards Cai Hongzhang.
On par with Cai Hongzhang, Ye Tiansheng looked at Cai Hongzhang with a smile, and he couldn't question Cai Hongzhang in front of the audience.
"Mr. Ye, congratulations!" Cai Hongzhang stretched out his hand and said. This matter is still a bit unreasonable, give Ye Tiansheng a step, how can he not refuse in public!
Ye Tiansheng was stunned, and a minister took the initiative to shake hands with him, which also shocked him too much.
"Minister Cai, thank you!" Ye Tiansheng shook hands with Cai Hongzhang and continued in a low voice: "Why? ”
"Lin Lao decided." Cai Hongzhang also whispered.
Ye Tiansheng was silent, didn't Lin Youquan say that he wouldn't help? What does that mean?
"Lin Lao said that the establishment of the foundation has become inevitable, and if you refuse, you will not have such an opportunity in the future." Cai Hongzhang continued.
Because they are whispering, no one can hear them. In the eyes of the audience, Ye Tiansheng was communicating cordially with Cai Hongzhang at this time, seeing that the two were reluctant to let go with a smile on their faces, as if they had a good relationship.
Misunderstanding is sometimes a kind of help, Cai Hongzhang is intentional to help Ye Tiansheng improve his prestige, I believe that some unconvinced people want to find trouble with Ye Tiansheng, and they should also think about him.
"Can I refuse?" Ye Tiansheng said: "However, why didn't you tell me beforehand? ”
"No, you can't. What if you run halfway through? Cai Hongzhang said jokingly: "Don't put too much pressure, the establishment of the foundation has been determined, and most people in the ministry think that you are the most suitable candidate, and it is also in the interests of many parties." The ministry can't afford to raise orphans for many years, so it's better to leave many things to outsiders. Of course, you still have to rely on yourself for the funds, and the ministry will only give you a name. ”
"Do you just want to raise a few hundred children in your yard? If that's your ambition, I don't have anything to say. ”
Ye Tiansheng lowered his head and thought about it for a while, he understood what Cai Hongzhang meant. With more than 900,000 orphans, the annual cost is by no means a small amount, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs will certainly not be able to invest all the funds here. Now give Ye Tiansheng a name, let Ye Tiansheng develop slowly. It can not only block the mouths of the people, but also solve the doubts that the Ministry of Civil Affairs is now facing.
The best of both worlds, and the foundation presided over by Ye Tiansheng is more beneficial to orphans. Even if the foundation doesn't develop in the future, or if something goes wrong, it won't be a problem for the ministry. It's a triple win.
The most important thing is that Cai Hongzhang's last sentence touched his heart, and his ambition is by no means just for the yard. Grandpa's last wish was to develop the orphanage to all parts of the country, how could it be limited to one place.
"It's impossible for the Foundation to manage all the orphans in a short period of time! I don't have the money to run either, do I? Ye Tiansheng said: "What's the use of giving me an empty shell?" ”
"Although you don't have any money, you have time and can develop slowly, I'm not in a hurry." Cai Hongzhang said with a smile.
You're not in a hurry? I'm in a hurry!
Ye Tiansheng looked at Cai Hongzhang, which was obviously a complete throw of this burden to him.
Ye Tiansheng felt that it was necessary to give full play to the ability of goose plucking, and since he had decided to accept it, he still had to fight for some benefits.
"Minister Cai, do you think you should also let the orphan care activity go to Jincheng?" Ye Tiansheng whispered.
"It's impossible, you can't pin all your hopes on it." Cai Hongzhang refused.
"Do you want to give me a little bit of the money this time? How can I say that I am also an orphanage! Ye Tiansheng said with a smile: "Of course you can disagree, but I also have the right to choose, right?" ”
Cai Hongzhang looked at Ye Tiansheng with a smile, this was threatening him!
It has already been announced in public, of course, it is impossible for Ye Tiansheng to refuse.
"I'll give you a little." Cai Hongzhang said. This problem is easy to solve, and the money itself is to be used by the orphanage, and no one will say anything.
"How much is a point?" Ye Tiansheng asked reluctantly. Don't ask to understand that he doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle, and after that, Cai Hongzhang only gave a donation of 1.8 million yuan, and asked him to find someone to reason.
"Five million." Cai Hongzhang said dryly.
"It's too little, the yard costs more than this in a year." Ye Tiansheng shook his head and said: "You are such a big minister, you will give five million when you open your mouth, there is ** share!" ”
Drive a hard bargain?
Cai Hongzhang thought for a while and said: "This is not a vegetable market, the price is 10 million, you must know that the donation is not very much!" ”
"Minister Cai, why do you open your eyes and tell nonsense? More than 200 million yuan was raised in this event, and it is not the final amount. Ye Tiansheng said with a smile. Ken Songkou is negotiable.
"Don't get an inch, kid." Cai Hongzhang said with a straight face. It's too easy-going and the rat is going to go to the beam.
"Thirty million, how's that?" Ye Tiansheng squinted and said with a smile.
"Too much? Know that your yard is just a medium-sized orphanage. Cai Hongzhang said silently. This time the money was raised for all the orphans. Ye Tiansheng opened his mouth to be 30 million, and he directly had to go one-tenth of it, which was a bit excessive.
"Minister Cai, do you think I have the ability to set up a charitable foundation now? I'm afraid I won't even be able to get the money to set up the foundation in the early days. Ye Tiansheng said.
"The Foundation Department will set it up for you." Cai Hongzhang said.
"Can the Foundation survive forever? I want to use the foundation's money to start a company and make some long-term plans. Ye Tiansheng said with a smile.
"This amount is not for the Foundation." Cai Hongzhang frowned and explained.
"I know. But the money can be allocated to the yard, and the money is being used to register a foundation! Ye Tiansheng said with a successful smile.
"Registering a foundation in the name of an orphanage?" Cai Hongzhang said.
"Yes!"
Cai Hongzhang thought about it for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "Do you want the orphanage to have its own income and no longer rely on external funding in the future?" ”
"Yes." Ye Tiansheng nodded and said. Although it is difficult, it is definitely a sunny avenue. Can you rely on others for a while, can you rely on a lifetime?
"Appropriations are fine, but the accounts must be made public." Cai Hongzhang thought about it and said briskly. Although there will be some twists and turns, it is negligible compared to Ye Tiansheng's thoughts.
"Of course... However, the registration of the foundation still needs to be paid by the ministry, and I have no money! ”
