Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Few Families Rejoice, Some Families Are Sad

"Honorable Vice Governor Tian, Distinguished Xichuan Provincial Youth League Committee, Education Commission and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office officials, 'Dreams change the future' is the slogan of NB Electric, and our NB Charity Foundation will also make every effort to realize the dreams of children in mountainous areas and change the future of children in mountainous areas. In addition, our charitable foundation has a project slogan: 'YesWeDo'.

Yes stands for SelfConfidence; We stands for Teamwork; Do means we want to do things with SocialResponsibility; Self-confidence, teamwork and social responsibility – these are the core values of our NB Charitable Foundation, and we will strive to provide physical facilities while also promoting the holistic development of children in mountainous areas, encouraging them to go beyond books and improve their communication skills. These are the things that mainland education lacks, and what we especially want to bring to our children. ”

The climate change in domestic politics is vividly reflected in the organizational structure of the SAR.

From the establishment of the special zone through reform and opening up to the first half of this year, Xiangjiang City did not set up a "people's congress" or a "political consultative conference" for 10 years, and this was not due to the negligence of the provincial and municipal party committees, but the desire from top to bottom to leave a little space for political structural reform while reforming the economic system.

There have been many proposals, from the establishment of a "Legislative Council" like Hong Kong and the establishment of an anti-corruption agency similar to the Independent Commission Against Corruption...... However, with last year's turmoil and the upheavals in Eastern Europe, the trial-and-error model of "crossing the river by feeling the stones" has been strongly questioned, and previous plans for reforming the political system have disappeared with it.

The establishment of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) has made the SAR no longer appear so "special".

After ten years of hard work, I have not been recognized, and I am in danger of dying halfway. Eager to prove themselves, the leaders of the Special Administrative Region heard that NB Electric had spent 10 million yuan to donate to build Hope Primary School, so they took the initiative to send people to contact the provincial offices in the Special Administrative Region to help the NB Charity Foundation match.

After serious discussions and field visits by professionals from the NB Charity Foundation, it was finally decided to build all ten primary schools in two national-level mountainous poor counties in Donglin City, Xichuan Province.

The Xichuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government attach great importance to the donation of 10 million donations, and Vice Governor Tian, who is in charge of education, personally led the first and second leaders of the Provincial Education Commission, the Provincial Youth League Committee and the Provincial Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, and personally accompanied the Hong Kong NB Charity Foundation to Donglin City to hold a donation coordination meeting.

Ms. Teo is a philanthropist who has previously organized a small charity. Due to various reasons, the donations raised never exceeded seven figures, so as soon as NB Electric threw an olive branch, she and her colleagues gladly accepted the invitation and became the chairman of the Hong Kong NB Charity Foundation.

Provincial, municipal, and county-level leaders attached great importance to it, and media reporters reported the whole process, and she was so excited that even her speech became a little choked.

"YesWeDo, translated into Chinese, means 'Yes, We Do', which reflects the practical spirit of our NB Charity Foundation to truly put our ideals into reality. As an organiser, I am acutely aware of how difficult it is to run a charity in Hong Kong, especially an educational institution with a long way to go. Several of our directors often joked that we were raising a child when we did this project, which shows the responsibility on our shoulders and the determination in our hearts.

Before taking over the NB Charitable Foundation, we had run a small charitable foundation, and from the beginning to the end of the operation, the most difficult part was fundraising, as a new organization with no history, we did a lot of homework to gain everyone's trust, but with little success. Therefore, I cherish this opportunity very much, and I am very grateful to Hong Kong NB Electric Co., Ltd., Hong Kong NB Electrical Co., Ltd., China-Hong Kong Joint Venture NB Electrical Co., Ltd. and China-Hong Kong Joint Venture NB Electric Complete Co., Ltd. for their kindness......"

In the bursts of long-lasting applause, Ms. Zhang Xu Nanzhen said: "In the past few years, I have tried to visit one or two mountain schools in the mainland every year, and found that there are several problems in the mountain schools in the mainland: one is the lack of teaching resources, and the other is the age structure and knowledge structure of the teachers...... As a result, teachers who are willing to stay in the mountainous areas are generally older, and there is a phenomenon of "grandparents teaching elementary schools". In addition, the teachers are basically concentrated in Chinese and mathematics, and there is a lack of professional teachers in music, physical education, and aesthetics.

In addition to providing hardware facilities to the best of our ability, our NB Charity Foundation also wants to bring new blood to the primary schools in the mountainous areas: first, we have a large number of highly educated young volunteers, who are full of enthusiasm and are especially good at music, physical education and aesthetic education; Secondly, we will bring new ways of learning to schools and children, through interesting experiments, scenario simulations and games to cultivate children's interest in learning; In addition, we will also provide teachers with the opportunity to go to the Hong Kong Special Economic Zone for training to help them expand their horizons. If possible, we would also like to organize summer and winter camps......"

They are true philanthropists, and the Foundation's normal expenses account for only 1% of the donation!

They dress simply, refuse all extravagance, and prefer to have a cold meal at school with their children during a field trip a few days ago rather than accept hospitality from the local government.

When it comes to the use of donations, they are so strict that every penny must be accounted for. What made the leaders at the city and county levels even more troublesome was that there was a professional accountant and a lawyer among them, who did not give up an inch of land in the first few rounds of informal negotiations, and insisted on depositing the donations into an independent account, which was jointly supervised by both parties, and no one wanted to touch a penny in the account without the signatures of the NB Charity Foundation and the grantee at the same time.

Vice Governor Tian admired their way of doing things very much, and he also knew very well what would happen if this huge amount of money was transferred to the county and township financial accounts. The mountainous areas are so poor that the salaries of cadres and teachers are in arrears for one or two years, and they have to divide the money as soon as it arrives.

"Comrades, Ms. Zhang Xu Nanzhen's words are heartfelt."

Vice Governor Tian looked around at everyone and said earnestly: "Ms. Zhang Xu Nanzhen is responsible for the donor NB Electric, and we are also responsible for them!" Funds are earmarked, and this is not allowed to be bargained. On behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, I would like to express my position that the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government not only support the supervision of the NB Charity Foundation, but also the Provincial Education Commission, the Provincial Youth League Committee and the Provincial Overseas Chinese Affairs Office will also set up a joint working group to supervise the use of the donations. ”

It is already very good that the city has not asked for matching funds, and the ancient secretary of the municipal party committee immediately said: "Please rest assured that Governor Tian will not disappoint the goodwill of Hong Kong compatriots and overseas Chinese, and resolutely implement the intention of the provincial party committee and government." ”

"Comrade Huangshan, Comrade Jiaguo, what about the two of you?"

The attitude of the provincial and municipal leaders is so clear, what can the secretaries of the county party committees of the two impoverished counties say but to sign an "unequal" treaty with the Hong Kong NB Charity Foundation.

Ten Hope Primary Schools, with an investment of 5 million in hardware, in addition to donating books, scholarships and grants. It was the largest donation ever received in the history of education in Xichuan Province, and it made headlines on provincial television that night.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, and the deputy mayor of Jiangnan Province, Changjiang City, who is also involved with NB Electric thousands of miles away, is furious.

"Lao Jie, how many years are you an old comrade, let me say hello, even if you imitate other people's products, even the trademark is imitated together, what is the difference between this and copying other people's papers in the exam, even copying the name? Shame on you, not only the face of the state-owned Changjiang Electric Switch Factory has been lost by you, but even the face of the Yangtze River Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government has been lost by you! ”

Vice Mayor Tong's voice was violent, Director Li of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and Director Bao of the Bureau of Justice were silent, looking at the NB electrician switch panel on the coffee table, Xie Dashan, director and secretary of the Party Committee of the Yangtze River Electric Switch Factory, realized how stupid the boys in the technical room were, just because they felt that the NB electrical logo was foreign, and they were confused and imitated the trademark together.

Don't ask, you must have been approached by someone, otherwise Lao Li of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau would never appear here.

The switch and socket panel is the "new product" of the Yangtze River Switch Electrical Appliance Factory, more than a dozen technicians and masters have tackled key problems for nearly a month, and the factory has also issued a bonus of 50 yuan per person.

In order to put into production in order to promote the market, Xie Dashan even replaced the cable switches and log sockets of the municipal party committee and municipal government office building with new products just developed for free. It is not realistic to smash the wall and bury the pipe, in order not to affect the normal work of the municipal party committee and municipal government, the final connection box is exposed outside.

The dark pipe is bright, not foreign, not earthy, but it looks at least higher grade than before.

Secretary Shi and Mayor Xiong were very satisfied, and Vice Mayor Tong was also very satisfied at the time, and besides, imitation is normal, and it has been like this for decades, Xie Dashan didn't think that Vice Mayor Tong would really take advantage of himself, and said with a sneer: "Mayor Tong, this was done by the technical office the year before last, and I really didn't notice that it was a trademark." You can rest assured, after we go back, we will immediately rectify and reopen the mold, and we will never embarrass you again. ”

"Re-open the mold, think about it lightly!"

Vice Mayor Tong gritted his teeth in anger, pointed at his nose and roared: "Lao Jie, I usually let you strengthen your studies, but it seems that you are all in the wind and haven't listened to a word!" Take a look, this is the report material of Hong Kong NB Electrician (China) Co., Ltd., this is their lawyer's letter, and there are also the supporting materials of the BJ Sub-Organizing Committee, which are about to be sued by others, and you still want to go back and reopen the mold? ”

"Sue me?"

Director Li of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau confirmed: "Lao Jie, from a legal point of view, you are counterfeit and shoddy, suspected of trademark infringement, patent infringement and counterfeiting of the logo of the BJ Sub-Organizing Committee, this lawsuit is really going to fight, it is the first case of intellectual property rights in China!" ”

When it comes to this "first", Vice Mayor Tong is a belly of fire: "Good things don't go out, evil things go thousands of miles, how many years has our city not won the first place in the country, is the municipal party committee and municipal government going to commend it and award a certificate to your factory?" Lao Jie, as the legal representative of Changjiang Electric Switch Factory, you still haven't realized the seriousness of the problem. Tell you, Secretary Shi was so angry that he dropped several cups because of this, and Mayor Xiong was embarrassed to even attend the opening ceremony of the Asian Games. ”

The problem sounds serious, but in the eyes of Xie Dashan, the winner of the "National Model Worker" and the "May Day Medal", it is not a big deal, and he muttered: "The Asian Games factory has donated money, and the employees have also donated money, so it shouldn't be a counterfeit Asian Games logo, right?" ”

Encountering such a legally illiterate, Vice Mayor Tong was completely out of line, and said angrily: "When death is on the verge of death, you still have a hard mouth, Director Bao, give him the popularization of legal knowledge." ”

"The Trademark Law and the Patent Law clearly stipulate that no one may counterfeit or imitate other people's trademarks and design patents without permission. Besides, the quality of your products does have a big problem, NB electrical engineers in the government guest house, but also brought several instruments, in public to the industrial and commercial bureau comrades to do the test, your switch buttons can only be used more than 20,000 times, people's service life is as high as 400,000 times, the appearance and trademark are exactly the same, it is a serious counterfeit and shoddy, even if we want to help you, we can't help. ”

Director Li of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau took out a stack of materials from his briefcase and added: "NB Electric is a major taxpayer and foreign exchange earner in the Xiangjiang Special Economic Zone, and in order to protect their intellectual property rights, it has fought more than a dozen cross-border lawsuits abroad in the past two years, and has won all of them. ”

"A big taxpayer and foreign exchange earner?"

"What do you think?" Deputy Mayor Tong hated iron and said: "Last year, more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars were earned, and a donation to the Hope Project was 10 million yuan. ”

Imitated a small switch and socket panel, and it caused such a big trouble, Xie Dashan was completely stunned, looked at Vice Mayor Tong, and then looked at Director Bao, his lips pursed, and he didn't know how to answer.

The silence spread between the four of them, gradually thickening, and finally overwhelming the breathless. After a long time, Deputy Mayor Tong said: "People are in the government guest house, what should you do in your heart, be sincere, honestly admit your mistakes, don't touch it and jump when you touch it." If they put forward any conditions, they will fight for them if they can, and if they can't win them, we will find a way. In short, you must not go to court! ”

PS: The brothers and sisters are so powerful!

actually put "Dianba" on the list of classified member recommendations, and Sanjiang did not have this result when recommending it, which is really unexpected, too surprising, and too powerful! Lao Han's heart was surging and excited.

Now that he is on the list, he can't be blown up again.

I tearfully beg all brothers and sisters to continue to support Lao Han as always, let this domineering continue, like East Germans voting with their feet, and use one recommendation vote after another to let "Dianba" go further, please!
