Chapter 258: Donations
On this day, Mayor Qin had just come to the office, and Secretary Xiao Liang stepped forward to report: "Mayor, Yang Cheng, deputy director of the Investment Promotion Office, seems to have an urgent matter to come to see you, and he has been waiting outside for a long time. ”
Mayor Qin frowned and said, "How can I have time to see him now, don't you know that the top priority now is flood control?" Investment attraction also has to be put on the back burner. ”
The reason why Mayor Qin said this is because the black province, especially Harbin City, suffered the most terrifying flood since the founding of the People's Republic of China, a total of 29 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions were affected by the flood, the affected area reached 318 million mu, the affected population reached 223 million people, the direct economic loss was as high as 166.6 billion yuan, and the indirect economic loss could not be calculated.
Northeast China, especially Black Province, has always been a place with relatively few natural disasters, whether earthquakes, floods or mudslides, tornadoes, the number of occurrences in the Northeast is very small, but the flood in the Northeast in 98 is also the hardest hit area, especially the city of Ha where Shakru is currently located, it is one of the four most severely affected areas, and the flood once rushed to the flood control memorial tower located on the riverside. Therefore, now for all the leaders of the provincial government and the municipal government, flood prevention and disaster relief are the most important work at hand, even if it used to be extremely important to attract investment, now it has to be ranked behind, so Mayor Qin has such a saying.
"But Yang Cheng said that what he came to talk about today is related to flood relief and disaster relief." Secretary Xiao Liang said.
Hearing this, Mayor Qin nodded and replied, "Oh, that's it, then let him in." ”
Within a few minutes, Yang Chengcheng walked in, and Mayor Qin didn't have time to be polite to him, so he asked directly: "Yang Cheng, I heard that you have something related to flood relief and want to report to me?" ”
Yang Cheng hurriedly nodded and replied: "Mayor Qin, that's right, Mr. Pandit of Henghe Medicine told me that he would donate money to the victims of the flood disaster in our province. ”
"Oh, donate, this is a good thing, but you can just take him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle this kind of thing." Mayor Qin replied casually, then thought about it, and said again: "By the way, thank him for me, but the task of fighting the flood recently is too heavy, and I don't have time to visit him for the time being." ”
Mayor Qin originally thought that it would be okay to deal with it this way, but he didn't expect Yang Cheng to say again: "Mayor Qin, what Mr. Pandit wants to donate is not a small number, what he wants to donate is a whole hundred thousand yuan!" ”
"How much do you say? Million? Mayor Qin asked in shock.
Yang Cheng nodded and said, "That's right, it's one million yuan, and it's one million dollars!" ”
"One million dollars, isn't that equivalent to eight million yuan?!" (It didn't become 6.8 until 2010) In fact, it is no wonder that Mayor Qin was shocked, because at that time, although there were many people who donated money and materials, but there were not many large donations, first, because China's overall economy was not very high at that time, especially in the period of state-owned enterprise reform, so there were few rich large enterprises, and even less here in Northeast China; And it is true that the disaster here is more serious than in the Northeast. (I checked, even in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, no more than ten celebrities donated more than one million yuan, so the protagonist donated one million dollars at this time is definitely not a small amount.) )
Therefore, when Mayor Qin heard that Pandit planned to donate one million US dollars, he was not only happy about the eight million yuan, after all, for the finance of a province, these money is not a lot of money, but more considering the political significance, this is the foreign businessman he has just attracted, just came to Harbin to invest, he is willing to spend a lot of money to donate, what does this mean? This definitely shows the ability and charm of the municipal government, especially Mayor Qin, in attracting investment, this kind of thing is definitely worth mentioning!
However, for the sake of safety, Mayor Qin still asked: "Eh, Yang Cheng, with your understanding of this Pandit, he won't say this casually, right?" ”
"Mayor Qin, don't worry, I have known him for several years, he is a standard rich man, although I don't know how much property he has, but it is estimated that tens of millions of dollars must be missing, so this million dollars is a big number in our opinion, but it is really nothing to him, I remember when they were in India earthquake and plague, he donated money and medicine. And when he told me about it yesterday, it was said that even the transfer check was ready, so it was time to fill in our donation account. Yang Cheng hurriedly defended Shaklu.
Mayor Qin nodded and said, "Well, that's good, so let's go back and tell Mr. Pandit, don't worry, I'll find a TV station here and prepare a grand donation ceremony for him, and then I will invite Secretary Xu to personally preside over this donation ceremony." ”
"Thank you so much Mayor Qin, I'm going to tell Mr. Pandit the good news and let him prepare well." Yang Cheng said very excitedly.
Although Yang Cheng felt very excited, Shaklu's reaction after hearing the news was very flat, because he didn't have any other idea of donating, that is, he simply wanted to contribute to the place where he had gone to school and worked, and he could come up with a million dollars when there was an earthquake in India, how could he be reluctant to give up this money if something happened to his homeland, if it wasn't for the fear that taking too much money would arouse the suspicion of the Chinese government, thus bringing him some unnecessary trouble. He really wanted to get a few more millions.
In the previous life, although Shakru also caught up with this unprecedented flood, but at that time he was still young, only a junior high school student, and his hometown was not very bad, so this natural disaster was not particularly deep in his impression. But this time he built a new factory in Harbin City, but he personally felt the power of this natural disaster.
PS: First of all, I apologize to everyone, Chapter 256 is locked, and I'm sorry for causing dyslexia to everyone. Then I sighed that it's really not easy to write something now, and if you don't pay attention, you will hit thunder, which really makes me so depressed, I didn't write XX Dafa, and it's not that I'm making it up, is this a fact that has always existed, is it interesting to always cover your ears and steal the bell?
So I'm just going to write something positive today, this flood relief and enthusiastic donation are enough positive energy, right? The three views are correct enough, right? If this is blocked again, then I won't write it (to be continued.) )
