Chapter 450: Running for the Earthquake

Magnitude 8 earthquake!

Zhou Xiao, who was in China back then, knew very well how the country was facing now, and this earthquake not only shook the apprentices over there, but also shook the hearts of the people across the country.

There is a big difference between China and Japan in terms of how they treat earthquakes, and compared to Japan, China does not pay much attention to earthquake prevention, both in construction and daily preparation. It must not be said that China is wrong to do this, because Japan is a country with many earthquakes, and this country attaches great importance to earthquakes.

As for China, a vast country with a large land area and a very safe non-seismic zone, it is understandable that Japan has traditionally paid little attention to the effects of earthquakes, unlike Japan, which is a long, thin, and dangerous country.

Of course, this kind of lack of attention, once one day, when a super earthquake comes, especially in various rural areas, it will inevitably face huge casualties......

Zhou Xiao can't go back, he knows very well what a big predicament he is facing there, and because of this, he can't go back to make trouble, and he knows very well that here, he can do more.

On the evening of the 12th, Zhou Xiao flew back to Tokyo urgently.

"Give me contact the variety shows and current affairs programs of major TV stations, if you can, ribbon programs and live programs are the best, tomorrow, I hope to be able to at least three or four live programs!" Zhou Xiao, who got off the plane, directly called AZX.

For a public figure, it is not really important how much money to donate, what matters is how many people he can drive to donate.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xiao appeared on the ribbon program of Japanese TV.

He almost didn't sleep all night, and he has been concerned about the situation in China, and the morning ribbon program of Japanese TV was the first to respond to AZX, and what appeared with Zhou Xiao was actually Deguang and his husband, who had already stepped down from the Japanese TV program, and basically rarely appeared.

Zhou Xiao did not look for the old man Deguang, it was Zhou Xiao who was contacted by the old man himself after hearing the news. So, the two appeared on the news program of Japanese TV together this time.

Although it is a major event that can shake the whole country in China, Japan is a foreign country after all, and there are not many people in Japan who really care about it, and TV programs are broadcast normally.

But Zhou Xiao is very familiar with the Japanese TV, so the Japanese TV side is also trying to meet Zhou Xiao's requirements, so this morning's news program, most of the time was given to Zhou Xiao and Deguang and his husband, the two in front of the TV seem to have become anchors, constantly updating various domestic materials from yesterday to today.

In this regard, Zhou Xiao is undoubtedly more dominant. Both Japanese and Chinese can be regarded as native languages, and Zhou Xiao has a difficult understanding of China's domestic Internet and news media on the Japanese side, so when consulting various news materials, especially when quoting domestic news, Zhou Xiao can easily do simultaneous interpretation.

Not only that, before Zhou Xiao came to the studio, he also prepared a lot of video materials on the network and handed them to Daily TV, these network materials had been corrected before they came, and some inappropriate places were marked with mosaics. And the role of these materials is, of course, to arouse the sympathy of the audience.

The pain of ordinary people, the collapse of the city, the heart-rending screams. It is undoubtedly uncomfortable to see this in the morning, and it will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention and compassion.

AZX was still very satisfied with the handling of this emergency, and on the evening of the 13th, the company applied for a temporary public welfare account. This account is attached to AZX, but all the funds on the account are completely disclosed on the network, and Zhou Xiao soon made public the account that accepts donations on his blog and first donated 5 billion yen to AZX in this account.

While guaranteeing a minimum liquidity for the operation of the company. This is already the largest amount of donations he can come up with.

One billion yen, which is about 7,000 to 80 million yuan, is also a considerable donation, Zhou Xiao is not ready to donate this donation to domestic institutions, this money is not small, relying on this money plus various donations received by the Japanese side, Zhou Xiao has enough confidence to establish a charity to operate the donations received by the Japanese side, the total amount is likely to exceed one billion yuan of donations, even if it can't play a big role, at least it should still play a small role, right?

Early the next morning,Zhou Xiao appeared again on the ribbon program of Japanese TV,Yesterday's live program,The evaluation of Japanese society is still very good,In the face of this super disaster,Few people will gloat,Especially Japan,It is a country plagued by earthquakes,The sympathy of the Japanese people contains a lot of empathy components。

This time, Zhou Xiao also announced the donation account by the way, and stated that the use and supervision of the account will be carried out in a very transparent situation.

After seeing that there was already a donation of more than one billion yen in the account, the host of the TV station was surprised and asked, "Mr. Zhou Xiao, what ......is this money?" ”

"Oh, these are the ones our company has already donated." Zhou Xiao said.

"Ten...... Billion!? The host was a little frightened, this is a billion, in the face of the earthquake, this billion is actually nothing, but just one company took out this amount, Zhou Xiao and AZX really put their hearts into it.

"It's a pity that we can only come up with these at this stage, and if necessary, we will make another donation after the company's liquidity is more abundant."

"This ...... That's a lot. The moderator asked.

"No, this is not much, in the face of this tragedy, it is far from enough to rely on the money donated by our company, friends in front of the TV, maybe some people will feel that this is a Chinese business, they don't need to care, but I think, people and human nature should not be like this, I believe that if Japan has such a tragedy, China will also have many people to lend a hand, people should first have humanity before having a country, civilization and hatred, so before considering the war and pain that has occurred in two countries, The first thing we should follow should also be our own humanity. ”

Zhou Xiao's words were still very effective, as soon as he finished speaking, the first donation from the account arrived, and the amount was not small, it turned out to be a full 500,000 yen.

Along with this donation. There is also a message about the donor: "Director, when I went to Shudu with you some time ago, I fell in love with that place, the simple and friendly people, delicious food, and the scenery and history that make people linger are very intoxicating, there is nothing more sad than the earthquake there, this money is not much, I hope I can help the people there." ”

Director? Let's go to Shudu together? Zhou Xiao explained: "The first person to donate should be Miss Erika Toda." She should be the only one who went to Shudu with me some time ago. Thank you. "Last thank you, Zhou Xiao said to the TV screen.

The special program lasted for about half an hour, and after the show, Zhou Xiao called Toda directly: "Thank you, your donation is very meaningful." ”

"Don't say that, director, my message is sincere, Shudu is indeed a very good city, and I was very happy to go to Shudu with you that day." Toda said.

"Don't fool me with those words. I knew very well what I was doing that day. Zhou Xiao said. When recording the show, in fact, Zhou Xiao himself knew that his appearance was not good in those two days, especially under his "obscenity", and the scene was quiet and scared to death when recording the show in those two days. It is obvious that everyone is taking care of Zhou Xiao's affection.

"Then director, in that case...... When I have time, director, you can take me to a place to travel, just ...... Compensate for not having enough fun last time. Erika Toda said.

This tone. You don't have to think about it to know that Toda is seducing himself......

Within two minutes of the show, AZX's donation account began to pour into a large number of donations, and the amount of these donations was very small. It can be seen that all of them are donations from ordinary people, although the average amount is very small, but under the large number of people, the amount of the entire donation is still very fast.

After coming out of the TV station, Zhou Xiao did not return to the company but began his own visit.

He visited various companies with whom he had relationships in the past, and as for what he wanted to do, of course, he was to persuade donations.

Originally, it was right to persuade donations, it should be a charity dinner or something, and a group of upper-class people would have a Rausch auction or something, but it happened so suddenly, Zhou Xiao didn't bother to do these things, he directly started to visit people he could see in various companies to raise donations for his donation account, this kind of thing, with his current status, there is no problem to do it.

The president of Toyota, Masayoshi Son, who has just met the hard and soft of the company, Nagoya Kyoraku, who already has a cooperative relationship, and major TV stations and even Genesys and Yoshimoto Kogyo ...... For two or three days in a row, Zhou Xiao traveled around the entire central region of Japan, tirelessly fighting for every yen.

This job is not tiring, but the destruction of the soul is true, Zhou Xiao is like begging when he visits all kinds of people, most of the companies he visited pay money very quickly, such as Toyota, Toshiba and other companies, have come up with hundreds of millions of yen in donations and promised that there will be follow-up donations, and most entertainment companies and TV stations have also come up with at least tens of millions of yen in donations, but ...... Some companies don't seem to be buying it.

In the previous life, among the five major private TV stations in Japan, Japanese TV is actually more anti-Chinese, but sometimes, the tendency of a TV station is often just because of one or two people, so to speak, the TV station's anti-follow is not anti-opposition, many times it is not that the TV station is really inclined to where, they may simply think that it will be more profitable to adopt such a strategy at this time.

In the previous life, the Japanese TV seems to be like this,Because after long-term cooperation with Zhou Xiao,Japanese TV is now not only not anti-China but very pro-China,This earthquake,Japanese TV not only made the fastest response to Zhou Xiao's request to be on the program,It also donated 100 million yen,This number is the largest donation among the five major private stations。

After the Japanese TV, Fuji TV, Tokyo TV and TBS also donated a lot, Fuji TV's 70 million, TBS 50 million, and Tokyo TV's 30 million are actually very good numbers, and the average ratings of the first two TV stations are not comparable to Tokyo TV, so it is understandable that there is a gap in the amount of donations.

What is really unpleasant is Asahi Station, Asahi Station, which is also a good scale, only took out 20 million donations, which is smaller than the 30 million in Tokyo Station, which is a little difficult for Zhou Xiao to accept.

Although he was unhappy, of course Zhou Xiao would not show anything to come, and he thanked Asahi Tai as usual. left the TV station as if nothing had happened, but Zhou Xiao knew that this matter was not over, and he might not be able to tear his face directly with Asahi, but it would be very difficult for Asahi to invite him to do any programs in the future, as for letting him start a new program on Asahi or something? Then it's even more unlikely.

On the one hand, I have to admit that there are still a lot of chaotic conservative camps in Japan, and in the eyes of these people, Zhou Xiao's behavior is under the guise of raising funds for the earthquake. But in fact, it is a complete Japanese traitor, this young man with a Chinese name, in fact, is fundamentally different from his predecessors such as Wang Zhenji, such as Sun Zhengzhi, although they were also born and raised in Japan, but Wang and Sun are both completely Japanese, and then there is Chinese ancestry, and Zhou Xiao, he is just a Chinese who moved to Japan.

Such thoughts. In the overall environment, no one will say that after all, Zhou Xiao occupies the public opinion that China has just experienced a super earthquake, but whether it is Zhou Xiao or the right wing of Japan, it is very clear that this time bomb has been planted. In the past, Zhou Xiao would try his best not to connect with the government, and try to create an image that he didn't pay attention to the government at all, but now, this image is shattered. The fact that he is still Chinese in his bones is still understood by some Japanese people with colored glasses.

Zhou Xiao doesn't have time to care about these now, fortunately in the past few years. He has already created enough prestige that even the craziest Japanese right-wingers should have carefully considered before dealing with him, and if a public figure of his level really raised his arms, the pressure of public opinion caused by him would not be able to withstand it.

In addition to the bad side, Zhou Xiao's behavior also has a good side, first of all, he almost after doing these things, he won the recognition of all overseas Chinese and Chinese in Japan in an instant, before, many overseas Chinese or Chinese in Japan were not very cold to Zhou Xiao, because most of the works created by Zhou Xiao are very thorough Japanese cultural embodiment, such as "The Undertaker", in this movie, it is the most thorough Japanese cultural embodiment, and it has nothing to do with China, so correspondingly, Many people will also think that Zhou Xiao is just a Japanese with a Chinese name.

Then the earthquake came, as the most famous Chinese in Japan, Zhou Xiao lived up to his nationality and name, from May 12 after about a week, he tried his best to run, and the donation results were impossible for any overseas Chinese to achieve.

Zhou Xiao is his own person, an overseas Chinese like himself, and other overseas Chinese in Japan have finally confirmed this.

For a week in a row, Zhou Xiao has almost become a regular member of many strip news and information programs on Japanese TV, and his job, in addition to hosting, is more about doing the same job as simultaneous interpretation, and it is also very novel for the Japanese to do these things with such a big-name director.

A week later, when Zhou Xiao visited almost all the people and companies he could visit, and couldn't get too many donations for a while, he finally returned to China.

He went back with him to a fundraising account that he had brought with him, and in that account was a total of about 3 billion yen that had been solicited in a week.

It's just too much......

3 billion yen, which is equivalent to about 200 million yuan, compared with the domestic donation list in China, Guo Taiming donated 60 million, Jackie Chan 10 million, and Jet Li's One Foundation 42.7 million...... Zhou Xiao's 100 million dollar ...... It's hardly on the same level as these numbers.

Of course, this is not a number donated by Zhou Xiao alone, because there is such a leader as Zhou Xiao, so in this earthquake, almost all the private donations in Japan have gathered to him, and what Zhou Xiao took is the donation amount of the entire Japan.

But even if these are removed, just his Zhou Xiao's one billion yen is almost equal to more than 70 million Hong Kong dollars, which can already be ranked at the top of the list of individual donations.

Moreover, many times people's perspectives are very subtle, Zhou Xiao took three billion yen alone, and most people tend to ignore the fact that most of them were raised by him.

So, after this news came out, Zhou Xiao's reputation and favorability in China almost instantly spawned to the point that almost no one could reach, before Zhou Xiao appeared in China, occasionally one or two would call him a traitor or something, but now, no one will call him this title, everyone knows, Zhou Xiao is a real Chinese, in the face of such a disaster, he also paid a lot.

After arriving in China, Zhou Xiao first ran about the foundation in Shanghai for a few days.

Because of such a big disaster, and because Zhou Xiao has a huge amount of hundreds of millions of money in his hands, perhaps because of his Japanese-Chinese identity and even the help of Pan Jiale behind him, Zhou Xiao, who handled the procedures in Shanghai, felt a real Chinese speed, just two or three days, and the China branch of the AZX Foundation already had substantial operating qualifications for the one he established.

Next, things such as turning donations into materials and sending them to the disaster area do not need Zhou Xiao's intervention, Zhou Xiao's work has returned to a media person, and he is finally going to Sichuan to bring the latest news of the disaster in China to the Japanese audience.
