Chapter 279: "All in One"
readx; On September 7th, the seventh day of school for students, Tian Wenjian, who had been abroad for nearly two months, finally returned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
If he were a primary and secondary school teacher, it would undoubtedly leave a small stain on his beautiful resume. Fortunately, he teaches at a university, which starts later than primary and secondary schools. Not only will it not affect my own work, but there are even more than ten days of preparation time.
What makes President Su, Secretary Li and other university leaders laugh and cry is that Professor Tian University does not seem to be so interested in the Changjiang Scholars Distinguished Professor. After reporting and showing his face, he disappeared all of a sudden.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, Tian Wenjian is really busy.
As for the treatment and honor of the Changjiang Scholar, not to mention that he is so busy now that he can't take care of it at all, even if he is not busy, he will not take it to heart. This does not mean that he is indifferent to fame and fortune, but for him now, these are really not attractive. After all, even the doctoral and master's degrees of Peking University and Tsinghua University are recognized internationally when they say they admit it, and if they don't admit it, it is equivalent to a piece of waste paper. The gold content of these scholars and professors can be imagined.
ββ¦β¦ The New York AIDS Alliance has pledged $670,000 in funding, and we have met with Dr. Ma Jinlong, chairman and CEO of Pfizer, who is willing to donate $1.2 million worth of Dafu Kang. Although it cannot treat AIDS, it is very effective against two opportunistic infections - cryptococcal meningitis and esophageal candida infection.
The Alan Diamond AIDS Research Center is willing to work with us to provide free treatment to 600 terminally ill patients using the triple combination drug developed by Mr. GlaxoSmithKline. In addition, Mr. Jonathan, former Director-General of the World Health Organization and current Vice Chairman of the My Friend Foundation, will visit Longjiang in the next half month. If nothing else, they will also provide some financial or pharmaceutical assistance......"
The conference room of the headquarters of Jiangtian Group in the high-tech zone was full of people, and Professor Tian Wenjian and Professor He Bingsu, who finally did not return empty-handed, were introducing the harvest of this trip to the volunteers who came from Tiannan and Haibei.
Looking at everyone's excitement, Tian Wenjian couldn't help but smile bitterly. More than $6 million in donations and medicines is a lot. But these little money and medicines are a drop in the bucket for thousands of AIDS patients. Still, he forced a laugh:
"A large part of the donations came from donations from Chinese in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Macao. It can be seen that the descendants of Yan and Huang also have charity cultural genes. As long as we can use the donations and medicines openly and transparently, I think the successful people in China will also donate generously. β
As soon as his words fell, Dr. Wu, who rushed from the Tiantan Hospital in Beijing, couldn't help but ask: "Professor Tian, are you saying that in addition to raising funds from overseas, we will also accept donations from domestic enterprises and individuals in the future, just like the Red Cross?" β
Without waiting for Tian Wenjian to speak, Professor He, who had just finished traveling around the world and had his eyes opened, said with a smile: "Of course, everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, and we will receive as much as we give, and we will not refuse to come to donate money." β
It is not so easy to raise funds from the public. The degree of concern of the relevant departments is no less than that of illegal storage. Fortunately, since the foundation is registered in Hong Kong, Article 23 of the Basic Law on the prohibition of foundations has not been passed, and only a "money laundering" channel needs to be established, which can completely circumvent domestic laws and regulations.
In this regard, Professor Tian Da had already prepared, and even invited An Xiaobin, a "professional" from the other side of the ocean, to come out and concurrently serve as the financial director of the Hong Kong Longjiang AIDS Prevention and Control Foundation, specializing in matters related to "money laundering" and "reasonable tax avoidance".
To do this part of charity is also unprecedented. Tian Wenjian immediately diverted the topic, Chong Zheng looked at Chen Hongjun, who had received donations, and said thoughtfully: "Chen Dong, the foundation will not be banned for a while and a half, but the branches in China still have to be supervised by relevant departments. In addition, although our drugs do not enter the market, import duties and VAT are also not a small number. On these issues, we still need your strong cooperation. β
As in the rest of the world, the lack of access to health care and medicine is the most intractable problem in China's HIV treatment. The XIII World AIDS Conference was held in Durban, South Africa, in 2000. After bargaining, the world's major pharmaceutical companies agreed to lower prices for anti-HIV drugs exported to Africa. But for one reason or another, China was not included in the list of beneficiary countries.
The importance attached to AIDS is also an aspect, and in short, the domestic AIDS drug market has not yet been launched. Although there are several pharmaceutical companies in China that have successively "developed" anti-HIV drugs such as hydroxynosine, nevirapine, and indinavir, they are either expensive or have not yet been put into production.
Faced with the drug prices of domestic pharmaceutical companies that are several times or even dozens of times that of foreign countries, Tian Wenjian can only purchase from abroad or Hong Kong due to cost considerations.
It is by no means easy to ask the customs, drug administration, taxation and health departments to open up a green channel for the Longjiang AIDS Prevention and Control Foundation, which is not in the name of the name, but Chen Hongjun still nodded heavily and said solemnly: "Millions, of course I can't sit idly by." Don't worry, I'll go to the capital tomorrow. β
"What about us, what can we do?" Coming from the Department of Infectious Diseases of Beijing You'an Hospital, Dr. Chen couldn't sit still, looked back at his peers, and stood up suddenly.
Tian Wenjian did not answer his question, but looked at Professor He opposite, and said with a smile: "Old He, you are the first director general of the foundation, you look at the arrangement." β
After going out, Professor He's spirits seemed to improve. As soon as Tian Wenjian finished speaking, he put down the teacup and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Everyone, this time I went out with Wenjian and ran more than 20 public welfare and charity organizations, which opened my eyes and touched me deeply. The operation mode of international counterparts is worth learning from. To sum up, the main points are as follows:
The first is to be open and transparent, so that donors can see that every penny of donation is really used; Second, we must have a broad vision, and we must no longer be as rigid as before, with treatment and assistance. In contrast, advocacy and care are equally important, such as organizing some activities, holding some seminars, etc.; Then there is training, and medical injustice in the country is well known. Medical institutions like the Provincial First Hospital can't admit a few AIDS patients a month, but after we go to the countryside, we have to see dozens or even hundreds of patients a day. Therefore, I want to set up a volunteer doctor organization composed of professional doctors under the foundation to provide medical technical support to doctors in areas with poor medical resources.
Finally, there is cooperation, after all, our strength and resources are limited, and in order to continue this cause, we must cooperate with the disease control department......"
Professor He spoke in a low voice for nearly half an hour, and a huge blueprint was displayed in front of everyone. The volunteers, who have been committed to HIV/AIDS prevention and control for a long time, were all elated, and they all stood up one by one and gave warm applause.
Professional things are done by professional people, except for the first batch of official members, Tian Wenjian did not hold a specific position in the foundation. Chen Hongjun is the same, and he tacitly retreats behind the scenes to help strategize.
The first meeting, which was also the inaugural meeting of the foundation, was simply introduced. Although there are less than 100 members, it includes almost 70% of the country's non-governmental HIV/AIDS prevention and control volunteers. Senior Gao, Senior Gui and Dr. Wu, who respectively served as Deputy Director General, Senior Advisor and Executive Director of "Sunshine Doctor", are well-known at home and abroad, and their influence should not be underestimated.
Everything was going according to plan and in an orderly manner, and after attending the meeting, Tian Wenjian, who was in a hurry to go back to prepare the lesson plan, said goodbye to everyone one by one.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to Jiang University, and as soon as I walked into the professor's office of the Department of Philosophy, I saw President Su and Secretary Li sitting there. In foreign countries, the president of the university is a more respected figure than the president, Tian Wenjian did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and greeted the two respectfully.
After some politeness, Professor Wen finally got to the point, and while beckoning Tian Wenjian to sit down, he said excitedly: "Wenjian, your application has been approved." From now on, you will be a Changjiang Scholar of the Ministry of Education and a distinguished professor of the Department of Philosophy of Jiang University. The treatment is nothing, the key is honor. For your business, President Su and Secretary Li have a lot of hearts, and they don't thank the two leaders for their love for you? β
If you don't hold grudges, everything will be fine, for fear of affecting your career, Secretary Li, who didn't wait for Tian Wenjian to speak, said with a smile on his face: "Wen Lao, if you say this, you will see the outside." Xiao Tian is young and promising, and he has won glory for our Jiang University, and it is well deserved to recommend him to run, and there is no need to thank him. β
"yes, yes. It's all one family, so why talk about two families? β
President Su nodded slightly, handed the certificate to Tian Wenjian, and said in a gentle voice: "According to the usual practice, the school and the department will hold a celebration ceremony, that is, cadres at or above the deputy department level and professors of the Department of Philosophy will sit together for a meal, which will be lively. All this red tape, don't talk about you, even I'm disgusted by myself, but I can't help it? After all, people's words are terrifying, and if there is no expression, any rumors will come out. β
The leaders were so enthusiastic that Tian Wenjian didn't even have a chance to interject. As soon as Principal Su finished speaking, Director Chen took over the conversation, and said with a smile on his eyebrows: "According to Secretary Li's instructions, I have arranged everything." At six o'clock tonight, you must not be absent as the protagonist. β
It's human nature to celebrate simply, but it's a bit too much to ask the department to pay for it. Tian Wenjian didn't want to make this exception, and he didn't want people to scold him for being high, so after thinking about it, he smiled casually: "Three leaders, it's okay to be lively, but I have to pay for it anyway." β
There are so many cadres at or above the deputy department level, plus lecturers and professors in the Department of Philosophy, as well as representatives of the student union, there are dozens of people at the table, how can Secretary Li let him spend this money? Hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, no need, the department has already arranged it." Besides, you are not the only one who was elected, if you are really asked to pay for it, what will happen to Professor Chen of the Law School and Professor Wang of the School of Engineering? β
In fact, Tian Wenjian didn't want to be the boss of this wrong, after all, Jiang University was too big, so many leaders and professors didn't even know what their surnames were, so why should they be invited to eat and drink for nothing?
Tian Wenjian, who was thinking about how to build momentum for the AIDS Prevention and Control Foundation, didn't want to miss it, so he turned straight and said very seriously: "Three leaders, one yard is one yard, I don't care what Professor Chen and Professor Wang think, if you want me to participate, then tonight's expenses must be paid by me." β
The proud protΓ©gΓ©'s financial situation is well known to the old man, and a meal is really nothing to him. What's more, just after the turmoil of "Sage Zhang Xun and Cannibal Zhang Xun", Professor Wen didn't want Tian Wenjian to be pulled by pigtails again, so he waved his hand and said categorically: "Three, I know that you have good intentions, but Wenjian also has a reason to do this, I think this matter is decided." β
Principal Su reacted at this time, and after thinking about it, he shook his head again and again and smiled bitterly: "Lao Li, Xiao Tian's concerns are not unreasonable, it seems that we have done something wrong with good intentions." β
There are a hundred ways to "workaround", but in the face of Professor Wen, who is known for his uprightness, Secretary Li couldn't open that mouth, and after being stunned for a while, he said stupidly: "Since this is the case, then we can only let Xiao Tian break the bank." That's right...... Oda, there are still a few empty houses in the doctoral building. After the study and decision of the party committee of the school, a set will be assigned to you. The key has been handed over to Director Chen, you can move there whenever you want. β
Jiang Da's house is as tense as Jiang Da's black gauze hat, and Professor Lian Wen still lives in the old building, Tian Wenjian doesn't want to become the target of public criticism again because of this, so he hurriedly refused: "I understand the kindness of the two leaders, and you two don't know my family situation, so it's better to leave the house to those who need it more." β
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, facing Tian Wenjian, who can't insert the needle and can't splash the water, Secretary Li is completely lost, and can't help but say: "Xiao Tian, do you have any opinions about us?" I admit that there are indeed some things that the party committee of the school does not have in your work arrangement, but we also have our difficulties......"
How did this Changjiang scholar come about? Tian Wenjian knows it. Secretary Li's words made him realize the problem, and he hurriedly smiled: "Secretary Li, what kind of person is my Tian Wenjian, you can ask Professor Wen, or ask the old principal." To be honest, I still feel guilty for causing you two so much trouble, how can I have any opinion about you two? β
Principal Su was happy, and immediately laughed and said, "I said a long time ago, Xiao Tian is not the kind of person with a small belly. In the final analysis, it is still the old believers who have a way. β
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. Wen The old man was very useful, with a smug expression on his face, and said with a smile: "If you don't even have this bit of guarding, can I force him to go abroad to study?" After all, philosophy is different from other professions, not only must have private morality, but also public morality, both of which are indispensable. β
Tian Wenjian still respects this mentor who has the name of a teacher and no teaching. Seeing that the old man was boasting about himself, he hurriedly complimented: "Teacher, I don't dare to forget a word of your old words." You're going to have to sit down tonight anyway, and you're going to have two more drinks. β
"That's right, you can do anything, but I'm responsible for it."
Looking at his happy smile, everyone burst into laughter. After laughing, Principal Su took a stack of letters from Director Chen's hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Tian, these are invitation letters sent to you by brother colleges, from now on, you will have to be busy." β
Visiting professors and adjunct professors, looking at the invitation letters in their hands, Professor Tian Da realized that he had officially stepped into the academic world. Wearing multiple hats is a common phenomenon in China, and trapeze artists abound. There are even some academic authorities who have taken the letter of appointment, received the money, and whose names appear on the list of professors at the university, but have never been to the university where they work part, let alone taught to the students.
I still have feelings for Jiang Datian Wenjian, and it can be said that without Jiang Da, there would be no Tian Wenjian today. Because of this, he took the initiative to take on three classes, three courses in ancient Western philosophy, modern Western philosophy and ethics. Teaching tasks are already very heavy, how can I have the time and energy to work part-time?
As Professor Wen expected, Tian Wenjian didn't think about it, so he resolutely said: "Busy will definitely be busy, but they are all busy in Jiangda." Principal Su, I am not familiar with the leaders of these schools, and I have to trouble you to help me decline their kindness. β
Of course, Principal Su couldn't help but stretch out his right hand, patted his arm, and said meaningfully: "The old principal didn't misunderstand you, Wen Lao didn't misunderstand you, Xiao Tian, it's good!" Jiang University is proud to have students like you. β
"The principal is serious, this is what I should do."
To everyone's surprise, Tian Wenjian didn't seem to be very satisfied with the scale of the dinner. In the next half hour, he also called his friends in Jiangcheng one by one, and uncharacteristically invited more people to the banquet.
Since it has become a private matter, in addition to attending on time, President Su and Secretary Li are not good at asking too much. After some encouragement, he left the philosophy department.
As soon as they left, the old man couldn't help but ask, "Wen Jian, what are you doing here?" Tian Wenjian, who was thinking about who else had not been invited, immediately leaned into his ear and explained with a wicked smile.
Injure! Except for the loss or the loss!
Hearing that the old man was made ridiculous, he pointed at his nose and scolded with a smile: "The country is easy to change, but the surname is difficult to change." Aren't you afraid that people will say that you are unconventional and famous? β
"Don't worry, I have heavyweight guests, and no one can say anything except to pay honestly."
Old Man Wen gave him a roll of his eyes, and asked pretending to be angry, "So you even paid attention to me?" β
"Where?"
Tian Wenjian didn't think that the old man was really angry, and said with a smile while sorting out the ethics lecture notes prepared in the United States: "But what you said reminded me that the power of example is infinite, and you always have to help me be a good childcare no matter what." β
"If there are more, three or five thousand is still fine." After a pause, Old Man Wen continued: "But it's not up to me to take the lead in this matter alone, you wait, I'll go and help you connect in tandem now." β
"The veteran is out, a top two! When this is done, I must ask Professor He to give you a red certificate. If you wish, you can also serve as a Deputy Director General. β
Hearing that the old man was made laughed by these words, he shook his head again and again: "You kid! Teacher: Am I the kind of person who sells fame? Besides, your grass platform team can last a few days. I just took office today, and I will break up tomorrow, where do you let my old face go? β
