Chapter 775 On "Charity in China"!

Lin Yu thought for a while and said: "Don't hide it from the two, our Lin consortium has just invested in Pudong in Huaxia, and the plan is about 100 billion US dollars, if our consortium will donate 50 million US dollars to Kuwait, it will not be possible for the Lin consortium to be famous, you must know that the Lin consortium is the Rothschild of Asia and the Rothschild of Europe, what we need is to be low-key, if Huaxia's investment is not too widely involved, we will not be exposed, so, for the low-key and secrecy of our consortium, We hope that your country will be able to maintain confidentiality for us. ”

In fact, there is another reason, Lin Yu did not say, that is, the Huaxia consortium has made so much money, and it does not donate to the domestic people, but actually goes abroad to donate, and the domestic people will have ideas, they may not understand how to repay the favor, but they definitely know what it means to join in the fun.

If one person provokes it, then more people will follow the trend, which is a national condition and cannot be avoided.

Moreover, China's philanthropy can be said to be fundamentally different from the philanthropy of European and American countries. In European and American countries, 10 percent of those charities are non-governmental charities, of which public funds account for only a small proportion, and these charitable organizations are going to carry out public fundraising activities. As long as the administrative permission of the government is obtained every year, it can be carried out. In China, more than 99 percent of charities are public charities, and if private charities want to be established, they must be attached to public institutions, that is, to find a mother-in-law to manage them. Only then can they apply to the state civil affairs department for establishment.

However, many units do not want private charities to be affiliated with. Take this responsibility and risk. Because these units will be afraid of the "civil nature" of charities. Fear of political risks and corruption in the course of operation can easily arouse public indignation and thus affect the unit. However, if it is held from the top down, it will be more controllable. Almost 100 percent of the existing charities in China are officially owned, top-down foundations run by government departments themselves.

And this nature of charity, has a big drawback, because it is a government-run organization, then the charity officials are first of all responsible to the government and the leadership, in short. Even in order to protect the black yarn hat, you must also listen to the government. In addition, the financial situation is extremely opaque, and it is difficult to find out the whereabouts of all donated funds and materials, so it is easy for charitable funds to be misappropriated by government agencies. Charitable donations became welfare funds for government departments. In addition, because the staff of these charities receive government salaries and hold iron rice bowls, they are not highly motivated to work, and they do not put the protection of donors' emotions and respect for the rights of donors in the most important position, which is not conducive to stimulating the public's enthusiasm for charity. And these charities are bringing in talent. Policies, directions, and implementation are subject to the control of the competent business authorities. If you want to become bigger and stronger, there are many limitations.

Lin Yu remembers that in his previous life, there was a charity that announced its financial expenditures, of which only 30% of the year's expenditures were spent on charity, and the remaining 70% actually became the administrative expenses of the charity. And it was reported that the British charity of the same period. For every penny raised, 120p goes directly to charity. A further 100p is used for further fundraising, and a further £1 can usually be raised from these expenses, of which only 20p is for administrative expenses. In other words, administrative expenses account for only about 10 percent. Many charities do not have a bus for management, the paper used to print documents in the office must be on both sides, and managers are not allowed to travel business class when they go abroad. Charities with annual administrative expenses of more than $10,000 are required to submit quarterly financial statements to the UK Charities Authority for audit. They are also subject to external audits, and the administrative expenses of large international charities such as the International Red Cross, Save the Children and Vision International never exceed 10 percent. Such a result. How can you not chill those who are interested in donating?

Later, the "Guo Meimei" incident was hyped up. The credibility of the Chinese Red Cross Society involved behind this is thought-provoking. How charitable organizations can ensure openness and transparency to the outside world and have a clear conscience internally has become the focus of heated discussions among the Chinese people. Rather than criticizing some undesirable phenomena in China, it is more important to learn from the advanced supervision and management methods of charitable organizations in foreign countries.

Private philanthropy in the UK has a centuries-old history, with nearly 200,000 officially registered charitable organizations in England and Wales. These organizations focus on poverty, disease and the culture of public welfare, and are not only involved in disaster relief. He has also been engaged in poverty alleviation and helping vulnerable groups all year round, and has been filling in the gaps for the government.

As the most developed philanthropic country in Europe. In 1860, the British government set up a "Charity Committee" to supervise and regulate the behavior of charitable organizations. The committee has put forward many specific requirements and standards for the internal governance structure, investment behavior, financial management and auditing systems of charitable organizations. To ensure that charitable organisations comply with these rules, the UK government has put in place a series of monitoring and evaluation systems.

This kind of system has made Chinese charities see it, and they can simply be red-eyed, slapped by others, and their faces are hot. Of course, this is just imagination. In fact, when the officials of the charity saw this, they casually threw them in the garbage can, and then went to a five-star hotel in a private car to eat, drink, and have fun looking for women.

Well, I can only say that it's not that the Chinese officials don't want to do this, but they have to do it according to your British regulations, so whose do you let us eat and drink? How do you let us go about buying a private car? How do we go to the second wife to find the junior? How do we go about traveling around the world in the name of tolerance? How can we cultivate a few more talents like "Guo Meimei"?

There is a saying that is called, others scold me for being too greedy, and I laugh at the people who can't see through it.

So, money still has to be greedy, the second wife still has to be packed, the third still has to be found, a private car still has to be bought, travel still has to be tolerated, and the five-star "Guo Meimei" still has to be cultivated for dinner......

"May Allah bless the Lin Consortium." Prince Abdullah praised. Du Deli laughed twice, but in his heart he secretly scolded Lin Yu for their cunning. These Arabs, though very cunning in commerce, require not only patience but also wisdom to reach a deal with them, but these Arabs, and at the same time generous to their friends, it is better not to easily praise the locals in Arabia for their watches, buckles, or other articles. Arabs tend to be generous enough to give them to you on the spot, and if you don't accept them, you'll hurt their feelings. Dudley remembers it. A few years ago, a Japanese man went to Kuwait to buy oil, and at that time he only praised the other party's car, and as a result, a luxury car worth millions of dollars went into his pocket. If Lin Yu can really get the friendship of the Kuwaiti royal family, then once Kuwait is restored, as long as the oil in the ground is not illuminated, this benefit will not be rolling in! The 50 million dollars are not wronged at all!

Prince Abdullah handed the check to the servant to collect it, and at this time he was naturally more enthusiastic about Lin Yu, and the three of them went to the restaurant to dine under Prince Abdullah's affectionate call.

Compared with the Arabic meal that Lin Yu ate yesterday, the banquet prepared by Prince Abdullah was naturally sumptuous, and the chef's skills were also more exquisite. Fortunately, after some practice yesterday, Lin Yu was vigilant all the time, and he didn't make any jokes.

"Lin, where do you live?" Prince Abdullah asked casually, and now he no longer calls Lin Yu Mr. Lin, but calls him "Lin"

"We came in a hurry, and we are not familiar with the situation here, so we live in the office of Lin's Shipping Group in Saudi Arabia, so it is convenient to find someone to help if there is anything." Lin Yu washed his hands in the clean water on the side. The inability to use this hand made him feel very uncomfortable.

"In the office?" Prince Abdullah frowned slightly, he didn't understand how Lin Yu, who could get tens of millions of dollars to donate unconditionally, didn't live in a luxury hotel.

He beckoned to the servant and whispered a few words. Only then did he turn his head to Lin Yu and said: "Lin, I also have a small villa here, located by the sea, if you don't dislike it, you can live there during these days in Saudi Arabia, so that it is convenient to have anything, and someone will take you there when you turn around." You are my honored guest, you don't have to be inhibited there, just be in your own home, and use all your things to your heart's content. ”

Lin Yu was taken aback, he didn't expect that this person would actually find a place to live for himself. He was just about to excuse himself, but Prince Abdullah had already said solemnly: "Lin, this is a little bit of a friend's heart!"

Dudliwe also looked at him again and again, in Arabia, if there is no better reason for such a thing, if there is a better place to stay, it is better to agree, otherwise Prince Abdullah will think that you look down on him.

Lin Yu only nodded yes, and then Prince Abdullah smiled, and after the meal, his own servants sent all kinds of refreshments.

Lin Yu looked at the time, it was already after nine o'clock in the evening, so he got up to say goodbye, and Du Deliwei naturally stood up with him.

Prince Abdullah got up to send him off, walked to the door of the house, and the servants on the side gave two copper incense burners, the charcoal fire in the furnace burned sandalwood, and the fragrant green smoke was rising, Prince Abdullah handed them to the two with his own hands, Lin Yu and Dudleywei took it, and slapped the cigarette into their arms a few times, and handed it back to Prince Abdullah. Then put on two drops of perfume and repeat the etiquette when entering the door.

I have to say that Arab etiquette is really troublesome, but it is also interesting...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
