Chapter 77 Donation

Fortunately, there are still many things to do in Zhao Guodong's hands. The flood has begun to recede. When the water level of the entire Yangtze River Basin is still at a relatively high level, the situation in Ningling, which was the first to be hit by the flood, has stabilized relatively smoothly. Zhao Guodong has turned his energy to restoring production and life and developing the economy.

Dataosha, Xijiang District has given Zhao Guodong a deeper understanding of the district cadres during this nearly a week of flood attack. At critical moments, he is considered a real party member.

Needless to say, Zeng Lingchun, Luo Yucheng, Gui Quanyou, Wei Xiaolan, Huo Yunda, etc., even Xiao Chaogui, Peng Yuanhou, Rong Sheng and others performed quite satisfactorily, and even Wang Yi's performance was remarkable. He led the discipline inspection cadres to fight floods and disaster relief from beginning to end, and strengthened supervision and inspection of cadres.

However, the performance of Ling Xiao, deputy secretary of the district party committee, made Zhao Guodong very tired.

Although this guy puts the door high, he can't see anyone at any time by practicing it. The job he arranged for him was to mobilize party members, cadres and the masses to fight against disasters and rescue themselves, but this work was more about Xiao Chaogui. Even He Tong, who Zhao Guodong looked down on, did work in an orderly manner in terms of logistics support. However, this guy was free and easy to take a break from his busy schedule. He either took a leisurely leisurely drinking tea and reading newspapers in the office, or he came back with his hands on his back. Zhao Guodong was also angry about this and always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to clean up Zhao Kuo, who was specializing in vain and only knew how to talk on paper.

Zhao Guodong received a call from Zhao Changchuan at the construction site of Niodi Dust Removal Equipment Co., Ltd. in Lingang Industrial Zone.

The Germans had very strict requirements on the progress of the project. Even during the flood, the construction site was completely shut down during the two days when the heavy rainstorm was the most. In the next few days, we took the time to continue construction. After the flood gradually receded, the sun shone brightly, and the construction site was even more busy.

Zhao Guodong still took some time to visit the construction site twice when he was so nervous about flood control and disaster relief. The Germans were also very satisfied. This at least represents an attitude. Although the government only provided two pumps to help drain the construction site, it was enough to show that it valued the company.

Zhao Guodong has been busy inspecting several new enterprises in the development zone and Xijiang District these days, especially many development zone enterprises that have entered the intensive construction period, which have not been greatly affected by heavy rain and floods. The good water supply and drainage facilities have made the construction of newly started enterprises in the development zone a beautiful landscape, with tower cranes and traffic flowing. The busy scene on the construction site has allowed Huang Ling and Shu Zhigao, who were inspecting with Zhao Guodong, to slightly dilute the shadows left by some of the huge losses caused by the flood.

The Xijiang District enterprises were not affected by sufficient emergency preparations in advance. Both the reorganized enterprises and under-construction enterprises increased their production and construction. While other counties were still worried about how to restore normal production and living order, the entire industrial enterprises in Ningling City were showing a prosperous scene.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Guodong was quite satisfied with Zhao Changchuan's sensitive sense of touch and the formation of social responsibility under his own teachings. At least this time, Zhao Changchuan thought of this without reminding him, which was already a considerable progress.

"Well, brother, I listened to the forecast of the National Meteorological Administration that there may be large-scale floods in the Yangtze River Basin this year, and it may continue until August and September. So I interrupted this time and started to start one first, and then donated it again in August and September. In addition, we have not made up our minds on the amount and whether to donate the materials or cash, so I called for your opinion."

Zhao Changchuan called him almost the next day when the flood was just released. He was very concerned about his brother's safety. Later, after he went on TV, Zhao Changchuan called again to inquire. Zhao Guodong was too lazy to say more to him, so he sent him away in a few words.

"Well, this is good, I guess the country will organize some donation activities. If you donate a part of it, it is best to donate it in cash. If you donate materials, what will your Canglang Group donate, mineral water or medicine? It is easy to be misunderstood as taking the opportunity to process inventory, and there is no need for this."

Zhao Guodong knew that this was a good opportunity. On the one hand, it was considered to be a social responsibility to use donations. On the other hand, if a private enterprise actively proposed donations, and the number was huge, it could also cause a sensational effect, which would be quite beneficial to the creation of the image of Canglang Group.

"Well, I also considered this, so the group plans to donate 10 million yuan in cash first, and then donate directly to the affected provinces according to the situation, such as to the five provinces of Anyuan, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui and Jiangxi. I think this may bring closer to our relationship with the provinces and consolidate our Canglang's market share in the Yangtze River Basin."

As a businessman, of course, he would not give up such an opportunity to expand the brand image of Canglang. Especially if he wants to spend such a large sum of money, he naturally needs to make full use of the momentum and maximize the influence. Direct donations to various provinces can indeed have an immediate effect. It can not only gain the favorable impression of local governments in various provinces, but also greatly benefit the attention and favorable impression of the affected people in the five provinces.

"Well, you can just do these things yourself. I just remind you that once you decide to donate, it is best to pay the money as soon as possible. Now the media is very concerned about whether these funds are in place. Some companies are used to gaining attention in this way, but they cannot be cashed out in the end. This will cause great damage to the corporate image. So I suggest that once you announce the donation, you must pay the funds immediately and ask the other party to issue a certificate that the funds have arrived and make a public statement. This can also eliminate those companies that are not worthy of the word."

Zhao Guodong remembers this phenomenon is not uncommon. Canglang's good start can at least force companies that want to take advantage of this opportunity to make tricks and avoid tarnishing the noble word "blame" of charity.

"Brother, are you afraid that I will not fulfill my promise after I make it?" Zhao Changchuan laughed on the phone, "I can't afford to lose this face, you can't afford to lose this face."

"Stop getting me and Canglang together. That's your Canglang, it has nothing to do with me. I am just a bystander with moral conscience." Zhao Guodong cursed with a smile.

"Brother, you don't think you are hypocritical? I saw you speak quite realistically in an interview on TV, but why do you talk to me so hypocritical?" Zhao Changchuan said with courage.

"You're itchy? How dare you slander your brother?" After a smile, Zhao Guodong sighed softly, "My identity is different. Although Canglang has developed entirely by itself, if someone knows the relationship between the Canglang Group and me, he will inevitably have a lot of thoughts. I don't want to fall into unnecessary entanglements because of this, at least for now."

"Brother, now Canglang Group has basically left Anyuan, with its headquarters in Shanghai. Anyuan only has one water source base and filling factory, and also Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Factory, both in Pennsylvania. You don't have a job in Pennsylvania, so what's the matter?" Zhao Changchuan asked back.

"But can you explain this kind of thing to everyone? Is it necessary to waste too much energy on it?" Zhao Guodong smiled bitterly, "Did Canglang, a development company in Hualin County - Hulunshan Scenic Area, invest in a stake? Although I couldn't help but make political achievements at that time, it was under my rule."

"Brother, you didn't say much. You were in charge of tourism at that time. I remember that it was a deputy county magistrate named Xin in charge of tourism. In addition, we, Canglang, only invested in shares and did not participate in actual negotiations and operations. At that time, you were not the county party secretary and county magistrate. I'm afraid that this could not be said? If this really affects you, I would rather give up these 20 million assets. We neither distributed dividends nor made profits from it. Otherwise, it would be fine to transfer it to Hualin County at the original price. It would be a waste of time for us to lend it to Hualin County Government."

Zhao Changchuan didn't know why his brother was obsessed with the career of the government, but since he was what his brother wanted to do, he didn't want to disobey.

"That's not the case. Just like you said that I was not the county party secretary, county magistrate, nor the county magistrate in charge at that time, it was enough for me to have a clear conscience." Zhao Guodong laughed, "I believe that the benefits and changes brought to Hualin County by the development of the Hulunshan Scenic Area of ​​Qilin can be felt by anyone in Hualin. They also have a clear idea of ​​how much the county's assets have increased."

"Okay, brother, be careful yourself. This water and fire are ruthless. It is of course a good thing to save people in the flood, but you have to think about it. What do you have if millions of others don't save you?"

Zhao Changchuan's words made a warm feeling flow in Zhao Guodong's heart, "I know, you can't believe your brother's water nature? By the way, what about Deshan, why haven't you heard his voice during this period?"

"My second brother is mainly focused on the northwest during this period. He spent most of his time in Xi'an and Lanzhou. I discussed the donation with him, and he agreed, but he wanted to show off. I advised him not to come forward, and he was still a little unhappy." Zhao Changchuan said with a smile on the phone.

"He is not willing to be lonely again? Is Sun Lei still with him? Or do you want to change the soup again? What is the meaning of this kind of limelight? Showing him that Zhao Deshan is rich or righteous? Or do you want to use this kind of limelight to attract the attention of women in the entertainment industry? I think the latter is the most." Zhao Guodong said angrily, "Tell him, just say what I said, he is not allowed to show up. Just leave this matter to Quzhi or Mi Ling."
