【130】 Don’T Take Charity For Granted
Lin Xuan: "Then Boss Cao, why did you donate so much money? The money you use for yourself is not as good as 1% of the money donated."
Boss Cao did use 10% and donated 90%.
But the question is, how much of that 10% is used on yourself?
As we all know, the order of consumption power in the commercial market is children - the elderly - women - dogs ~ - men.
In a family, men sometimes spend less money than pets.
Because men are really not easy to fool when it comes to buying things.
Therefore, when the family structure is relatively complete, men spend less money.
How much of the 10% did Boss Cao spend on himself?
Therefore, the money he spent on himself was really not enough 100 million.
And he has donated over 11 billion.
Boss Cao laughed loudly after hearing this: “Because I am willing to donate, and in my era, it is unrealistic for us to just wait for the country to help the poor and those in need.
At that time, the country was not even willing to invest money in the military and could not allocate its budget, so all the money was spent on the economy.
We need rich people to have more social responsibility.
It is a pity that people of this class do not play this role.
People like Boss Cao are in the minority.
Boss Cao: "But you are completely different now."
"In the final analysis, I am engaged in glass and light industry, and you are engaged in heavy industry.
"Heavy industry is the foundation of whether a country is developed or not."
"If those who make software donate all their money, I will applaud them."
"If you donate all the money out of curiosity, I will feel sorry for you."
Lin Xuan thought about the difference: "What's the difference?"
"It's very simple." Boss Cao:
"If you are in heavy industry, as long as you do it well, you can formulate industry rules and let people all over the world follow the rules of the Dragon Kingdom.
"That's one of them."
"Secondly, if you do well, this industry can generate a large number of jobs domestically and can also defeat opponents internationally."
"One goes off the other. The more such heavy industry groups there are, the stronger our Dragon Kingdom will be."
"When the Dragon Kingdom as a whole improves, the living conditions of the poorest people will be far better than before."
"When I was a kid, if we wanted to eat meat at home, we had to eat fish and catch fish."
"Fish has very little oil content. Fish with a lot of oil will cause diarrhea."
"Then there's even less oil content."
Lin Xuan nodded as he listened: "That's true."
Boss Cao: "So, when I was a child, I lived on the coast and never ate any meat. What about the people in the mountains?"
"Look at it now."
"How many people are starving to death now? How many people are freezing to death?"
"Can you imagine that many people in our era had no money to light a lamp at night, and their homes were bare and the walls were leaking?"
Lin Xuan nodded: "It's hard to imagine, but I probably know something."
Boss Cao: "It's even worse if the home doesn't have air leakage. Many people burn firewood and charcoal for heating at home, and end up with carbon poisoning and die at home."
Lin Xuan: "In the past, everyone was miserable, so you donated more. Now that everyone has less money to live on, your donation has not decreased."
Boss Cao: “Once a person forms a habit, it is difficult to change it.”
"I'm seventy-six years old. When I hear there's a disaster somewhere, the first thing I think of is donating money."
"It's more of a habit than a gift of mercy.
Boss Cao's Hu Jian accent is relatively shallow, but Lin Xuan understands everything.
Lin Xuan thought for a long time and felt that there was something in Boss Cao's words: "Boss Cao, just tell me what you have to say."
Boss Cao: “I don’t mean anything else, I just sigh that it’s not easy to find a young man who is richer than me and is willing to listen to me.
"Back then, Jack Ma, I said a few words to him, turned around and left."
"Back then in Shenzhen, at a charity auction, people spent 300 million to buy a broken painting he painted by himself.
"I asked you, are you doing charity? Can you keep a low profile with your money? But you turned around and left."
Lin Xuan laughed loudly after hearing this: "Boss Cao, what you said is not polite. If it were me, I would have to turn around and leave."
Boss Cao: "If there is no problem, what should I say about him?"
"Facts have proven that having no problem is the confidence to speak."
"I dare to give interviews to the media today, but Jack Ma doesn't dare?"
At that time, among the entrepreneurs who were more high-profile than the last, now only two people, namely Mi Mobile Phone and Hua Wei Mobile Phone, dared to speak openly and openly in interviews.
Why are others afraid to speak?
It's not because you're low-key. If you were really low-key, why were you so high-profile back then?
I don’t do anything bad at ordinary times, and I’m not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door in the middle of the night.
Lin Xuan smiled: "We are talking about charity."
Boss Cao: "If you are really serious about doing charity, I will give you three suggestions."
“First, donate items directly and donate less money.”
"Second, don't donate too expensive items, donate more practical ones."
"Third, don't set up a charity fund. Donate when you find out where you need to donate."
Lin Xuan: “The first thing I can understand is that donating money can easily lead to issues that deserve help being missed in the end.
……………Please give me flowers………………
"I can also understand the third point, which is that the operating costs of charity funds are too high."
"Why the second point? What's wrong with donating expensive things?"
Boss Cao was silent for a moment: "Then let me tell you a story?"
“One year, I went to a village in the northwest and saw the children there wearing two pieces of clothing in the middle of winter and shivering with cold.
"Their parents don't have money to buy them clothes."
"It's a long way to go to school. Many children walk to school with their hands red and their feet numb from the cold."
"What should you do if it were you?"
Lin Xuan: “I will buy a batch of clothes and send them over.
Boss Cao: "That's what I did. What do you think the result was?"
Lin Xuan was confused: "What's wrong with donating clothes?"
Boss Cao: “Do you think poor people have dignity?”
0
Lin Xuan nodded: "If you don't talk about money and only talk about dignity, then people will be the same, although it is unrealistic in reality.
Boss Cao: "So, if your child is wearing new clothes in a remote mountain village, what will others say when they see it? How will you react?"
"What can I say?" Lin Xuan didn't understand.
Boss Cao: “They will laugh, oh, your children’s clothes are so nice, they are more valuable than the whole family’s belongings.
"The second time I went to that town, I saw that the children from poor households were still suffering from the cold."
"No one wears the new clothes I gave you."
"They would rather take apart the new clothes, cut them into pieces, make diapers, and make tablecloths than give them to the children's home.
Lin Xuan was silent.
This is a real problem.
Do many people think this is a disease?
In fact, this is a matter of dignity. Since ancient times, there has been a saying not to eat food that comes from outside.
Boss Cao: “So, several of us launched an activity in big cities to sell used clothes to mountainous areas.
"Sending old clothes over can keep the children from freezing."
"What do you think of sending a batch of Adeleke? Do they have clothes on?"
What they need is functionality, and brand value that seems to add points to the outside world, but to them, it is an insult to their personality.
It’s like there are always news articles discussing poor students using fruit mobile phones, but later it was discovered that the mobile phones were donated.
That's the truth.
Some people whose families are not poor will ridicule and ridicule when they see poor people using good things.
Some people are poor because of laziness, but many people are poor because of their backbone.
Lin Xuan nodded: "Okay, I also understand this problem.".
