"Some time ago, I read an article with an interesting point, but that's about it. Personally, I strongly disagree with the views of the article. ”

Li Mai stood in front of the microphone on the rostrum and delivered a speech. Among his few public speeches, tonight's speech was very important.

The theme of the article is a total rejection of poverty alleviation. The smile on Li Mai's face gradually disappeared and became stern, "The author of the article obviously has a deep understanding of poverty alleviation work, and he has denied all poverty alleviation work since the founding of the People's Republic of China from a different angle. In his view, everyone is equal, poverty is closely related to oneself, and all the poor people in the world are poor because they do not work hard. If you know how to work hard, you can get out of poverty one day. ”

"At first glance, it makes sense. There will be no pie in the sky, as long as the deep iron pestle is sharpened into a needle. However, this way of completely ignoring objective factors and commenting on poverty alleviation work from an absolutely subjective perspective is itself a huge mistake. ”

"A very simple analogy, if we were to swap those of us who live on the coast with those who live inland, would we do better than them?"

"I don't think that's possible. There is no absolute equality, at least as everyone here knows, there is even a tilt at the level of national policy. It is impossible for a person to become a fat man in one bite, and the same is true for a country. We must face up to the fact that without more than 30 years of poverty alleviation, there are many areas in our country that would never be where it is today. ”

"In a country with a population of more than a billion people, it is very, very difficult to achieve prosperity for all. Obviously, the government cannot do it alone, and it requires the concerted efforts of the whole society. The Xiaoyu Fund was proposed by my wife, who felt sorry for the children in the poor area and wanted to do her best to do her part, at least to change their education environment. I thought about it for a long time, and I magnified this idea and looked far away. ”

"For me personally, my money doesn't really mean anything to me, and I'm afraid my headache is not how to earn it, but how to spend it. ”

This sentence caused a good-natured chuckle from everyone.

"Under such conditions, should I do something that benefits the country and the people? In addition to building canals and engaging in island tourism, there must be other things that are more meaningful and can change the status quo of society and need to be done. My executives know me well, they know that once I decide I want to do something, I'm going to do my best. ”

"So, either you don't do it, you want to do it, and you do your best to do it. So, I invited you all to join us, for whatever purpose, we all have a common purpose - to help those in need. ”

Smiling slightly, Li Mai raised his voice and said, "The Xiaoyu Foundation will be a comprehensive charity fund that covers all aspects, not only to help students, but also to build a few schools for students in poor areas. To say a word of arrogance, simple charity doesn't need me to come out. ”

The domineering words made everyone proud, especially the people in the gun group.

"As I just said, anyone who needs help, whether active or passive, as long as the Xiaoyu Fund can help, is the object of the Xiaoyu Fund, and if the Xiaoyu Fund cannot help, it will definitely try to find a way to help. ”

Li Mai raised a finger, "You need money to do anything, one word, money." I can leave you here today. My wife and I will donate at least $1 billion to the Xiaoyu Foundation within a year. ”

Everyone gasped, they knew that Li Mai was rich, but they didn't have a specific concept before, and tonight they had a general idea - to Cheng Dù, who could donate one billion at will.

"I hope that all of you, who have money, will contribute strongly, do your best, show your love, and help more people in need. ”

"I'm done talking, thank you!"

The audience applauded thunderously.

Maybe it doesn't lie in what Li Mai said, as long as Li Mai has an attitude.

Subsequently, Zhang Xiaoyu made a brief speech, and as the chairman of the board of directors of the Xiaoyu Foundation, she briefly introduced the relevant situation of the Xiaoyu Fund. Being able to come up with a complete plan in such a short period of time benefited from the manpower support of the Gun Regiment Construction Group and Nankai Company. Li Mai's strong resources are well reflected.

The rest of the session was easy. For some people, it's even more important to get the opportunity to be here. Almost all of the people who participated in this reception were well-known entrepreneurs in Nangang and even in China. It is clear to everyone that they can harvest their business cards and how valuable they are.

For example, Li Gang, he tried his best to get in touch with several executives of the Gun Regiment Construction Group, and even found an opportunity to chat with Wei Jing, the deputy general manager of Nankai Company, for a while and exchange business cards. You know, these are invaluable resources.

Li Mai and his wife were also full of firepower, trying their best to chat with more guests. In the past, Zhang Xiaoyu would not even appear, and Li Mai would only stay for a while before leaving. It can be seen how much the couple attaches importance to the Xiaoyu Fund.

chatted with several bigwigs in the financial industry, and when Li Mai raised his eyes, he saw Li Zewen, who was belated. Strangely, the security outside did not stop the late guest.

Smiling, Li Mai apologized and walked up.

Li Zewen glanced at it, first saw Wei Jing, shook his hand at Wei Jing, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Li Mai coming over, so he strode up to meet him.

"Mr. Li. Li Zewen stretched out his hand.

Li Mai shook hands with him, "Dong Li, you're late." ”

"Haha. Li Zewen smiled and said, "I didn't want to show my face, Wei Jing said that I should come to feel the atmosphere of the scene, I can only come." ”

"Well, the luck of those who listen to their wife is not too bad. Li Mai said with a smile, "When will the wedding be held, I can expect you to get married quickly, so that Wei Jing can be the general manager for me in a down-to-earth manner." ”

"It depends on what Wei Jing means. Li Zewen said with a smile, "We have discussed, she and I are in our thirties, just forget it, whether the wedding is wedding or not, everyone doesn't care very much." Still, I want to give her a memorable wedding. Woman, for a lifetime, just that day. ”

"I agree. Li Mai said, "In this matter, my experience tells me that I must not blindly listen to women. Otherwise, it will be a very advantageous excuse for her to attack you later. ”

"Haha, it seems that Li always has a deep understanding. Li Zewen laughed.

Li Mai said, "Life in the early stage of marriage is like walking on thin ice, let's experience it slowly." ”

Li Zewen nodded and said, "Thank you for teaching." Let's get down to business, Zhengmei Group has decided to donate 1.5 billion yuan to the Xiaoyu Foundation every year, well, I think it should last for more than ten years, and the amount of donations in the future will only increase, not decrease. ”

Rao was mentally prepared, but Li Mai was still a little surprised, "Dong Li, you sell fruits and seafood, and you make so much money?"

"Haha!" Li Zewen could hear that Li Mai did not have the slightest hint of ridicule, and he smiled, "Interlaced lines are like mountains, Li Dong, in fact, just selling fruits, you can collect 200 million a year, which is a profit." As for selling seafood, Dong Li, you have a fishing company, you should be aware of the profit margins. ”

Li Mai was surprised and certain, even if he did, he could only donate one billion a year. Of course, the difference is that Zhengmei Group is wholly owned by Li Zewen, and Li Mai is not the only shareholder of the Gun Group Construction Group. Therefore, Li Mai's money is taken out of his own pocket, but Li Zewen can come in the name of the enterprise, and the difference is naturally there.

"Mr. Li, I am grateful for your trust in handing over such a large sum of money to us. Li Mai raised his glass and touched Li Zewen.

Li Zewen drank a little, smiled slightly, and said, "You are digging a canal in Thailand, although I don't know much about that business, but I still have a clear account." In the case of the Kra Canal alone, for at least a decade, the main revenue was ship tolls. If other supporting projects want to generate revenue, I am afraid it will take ten years. You're ready for twenty years to break even. If you can do such a loss, I am afraid that there is no one who deserves my trust as much as you. ”

Nodding slowly, Li Mai said sincerely, "Thank you." ”

"Haha. Li Zewen said, "You're welcome." Tell me some real and ask your Gun Regiment Fishing Company to sell me seafood. ”

Li Mai immediately laughed, clinked glasses with Li Zewen, and wiped it out. He knew that Li Zewen was definitely not taking advantage of him, but sent another big order, and it would even be long-term. With the extension of the fishing area of the Gun Group Fishery Company to the open ocean, the last thing that the Gun Group Fishery Company lacked was the goods, so the problem of sales became prominent.

Obviously, Li Zewen has understood the situation, and he definitely didn't say it casually. He will never let go of this kind of win-win thing. You know, his seafood processing plant, especially prawns, swallows 300,000 tons a year. If Li Mai knew this number, it would not be surprising that Li Zewen had the confidence to donate 150 million a year.

The so-called invisible rich are definitely not those who often show up on various lists. For example, Li Zewen, even a year ago, Zhengmei Group was not established, but the funds he held and his personal assets were absolutely appalling. He controls half of the country's tropical fruit supply and marketing, and he controls one-sixth of the country's shrimp processing, but he himself is unknown.

Such a person may often wear plus-size pants and slippers to eat barbecues and drink beer on the side of the road, but the energy is definitely much stronger than the bare-necked real estate boss, IT bigwig, etc., who often appear in the media.
