140 China-Hong Kong Foundation and Zhiwen Primary School
On the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the holiday ended, and Chen Zhiwen immediately asked An Qi to call Li Haonan after returning to the office.
"Chen Sheng, you mean, we do our own charity fund?" After listening to the boss's description, Li Haonan immediately understood the meaning.
"Yes, we do it ourselves, set up the corresponding company by ourselves, I will be responsible for the initial funds, and we can also raise donations from the society in the future." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "I don't believe in other people, it's not that everyone is bad, but there are too many people in this link, and the money is given to others, so it is difficult to control." ”
It is not excluded that there are still many people in this world who are sincere in their lives for charity, kindness, and even sacrifice their lives for others, such as in his previous life, Chen Zhiwen knew a friend who took the initiative to go to Africa to be a doctor without borders, that year was 2014, the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
But there are more hypocrites, especially those who are not at the grassroots level, and the grassroots are completely different from them.
"It's okay to manage it yourself, so what is the main direction of this charitable fund?" Li Haonan asked.
"Children's education, children's medical care, this is our first direction, it is best to discuss with the Hong Kong government, in those remote places in Kowloon, we pay for the construction of schools, the best words can be let the Hong Kong government solve the problem of teachers." Chen Zhiwen said.
At this point, he has long thought about it, the concept of charity is too big, treatment, education, poverty alleviation, pension, road and bridge construction and even afforestation are all charity, and there will be many subdivisions in it, each of which requires a large amount of funds.
No one has the ability to cover all categories, even in countries, but it can be difficult to do which one to do first, which one is the most important, especially those who have the ability and really want to do charity.
Which of these two philanthropys is more important, but the cost of supporting a child to finish college may save the lives of hundreds of children in the midst of famine?
Can't answer.
Therefore, the International Charity Foundation also makes it clear that "there is no priority in charity".
Because if there is, there will be a lot of controversy, so anyone just needs to do charity, no matter what kind of thing it is, and do it.
After thinking about it again, Chen Zhiwen chose to start from the aspect of children, relatively speaking, there are very few poor people in Hong Kong who can't afford to eat, if it is the future of the mainland, it is another matter.
"Building a primary school? This is not a problem, there are many places in Hong Kong where students need to walk a long way to go to other schools, and if we build more schools, the Hong Kong government will definitely be willing to cooperate, that is, in terms of quantity? Li Haonan asked.
"Let's build 5 first, and if it's not enough, we'll add more." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said, Hong Kong is just a city, in fact, there is no need for too many primary schools, there are almost more than 300 primary schools in Hong Kong at present, and it is impossible to build dozens of them himself, which will exceed the actual needs.
"What is the name of the elementary school?" Li Haonan then asked.
"Zhiwen Elementary School, how's it going?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, after having the idea of building a primary school in his heart yesterday, he didn't care about the name, but suddenly found that the last two of his name seemed to be quite suitable for the name of the school: "Zhiwen".
"Zhiwen, a good name, the chairman's name, it's not awkward to put it in front of the school at all, it's natural." Li Haonan reminisced for a while, smiled and said.
"Let's make a name for ourselves first, if the four words of Zhiwen Primary School can become a signboard, it will be much easier for our charity fund to raise funds in the future." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
I have always thought that for the future planning, even if it is a familiar business field, it is only the general direction, how to do it, and I have to get the time pass to know, charity is the same, the future investment in charity, will definitely not be low, the main location will inevitably be in the mainland, but how to do this charity? Which field to prefer, Chen Zhiwen has never thought about it before.
However, the "Zhiwen Primary School" project, if there is one or several Zhiwen primary schools in every county in China in the future, may have a very exciting significance.
If this can be realized, maybe this event will also leave a mark in history.
Of course, primary schools belong to primary schools, and other philanthropic areas should still be invested.
"Then our charity fund, also called the Zhiwen Foundation?" Li Haonan asked.
"Isn't that good? The name is a bit weird, the charity fund should not be linked to the name of the person, our fund also needs to raise funds in the society in the future, or it is called the China-Hong Kong Fund, Hong Kong, China, and the main direction in the future is the Chinese. Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said. It may be better to call it Towngas China, but there is already a company in Hong Kong called Towngas China, which has the same name and is prone to conflict.
"China-Hong Kong Fund? It's a good name. Li Haonan somewhat admired the boss's ability to come up with a name.
"So be it, but in order to be an instant hit, we can claim that in the next ten years, more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars will be invested in charity, and with this figure, it will definitely gain unprecedented traction." Chen Zhiwen said.
"HK$100 million? That's too much, right? Li Haonan was taken aback, 100 million, but a shocking number.
"It's not much, 100 million is for the media, and ten years is the most important number in it." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
Now 100 million Hong Kong dollars, not to mention in Hong Kong, even in the United States, is a huge amount of money, but ten years later, the value has been greatly reduced, now Hong Kong, there are only a handful of people worth hundreds of millions, but ten years later, or 82 years when the peak of real estate, anyone who owns a street is worth hundreds of millions.
This is not only a problem of inflation, but also the result of the faster development of the real estate market: the relative depreciation of the currency is more serious, on the other hand, for the rich, the economic explosion, will only make this group of people richer, in the original history, Li Jiacheng in 1975 was worth only about 100 million Hong Kong dollars, its Cheung Kong market value in 3-400 million Hong Kong dollars, and in 1985, Li Jiacheng controlled Cheung Kong Industrial, Hutchison Whampoa, Hong Kong Electric Group, the combined market value of the three exceeded 10 billion, Personal assets are also estimated to be around 2 billion to 3 billion.
This is the so-called rich get richer, and Chen Zhiwen, who owns the stocks of Hutchison Whampoa, Midea, Red Bull, Costco and Wal-Mart, will have a much higher asset increase than the historical Li Jiacheng in ten years.
Now let Chen Zhiwen take 100 million out, and ten years later, the difficulty is more than 100 times.
"In this way, it will really be very effective, as long as we buy some more media, it will inevitably make Chen Sheng's image the first charity in Hong Kong." Li Haonan said with a smile.
"Publicity is one thing, charity still has to be really done, the budget for the first year is 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and this money must really be spent." Chen Zhiwen said.
