We come from all over the world, have never met each other, and have their own life journeys. However, based on the love for this land and the most basic compassion as a person, we have an unforgettable common memory.
Yao Yuan still remembers Tan Qianqiu, Chen Jian, Zhu Qiangqiang, the beggars who donated money, as well as the fellow villagers and the crying reporters and announcers.
When he experienced this in his previous life, he was drifting north.
Living in a basement, struggling for my future every day, I was at a loss when I first heard the news and lacked intuitive concepts.
However, when the continuous news reports came out, my first reaction was shock. It turned out that the shock was so serious!
Then I became obsessed with it, searching for relevant news every day and crying while reading it.
I am born in the 1980s, in my 20s, and there was a flood in 1998, but I was ignorant and had no feelings at that time. Now when I grow up and enter the society, I am experiencing the erosion of various cognitions, and suddenly this happens.
I felt something was ready to move in my chest, passionate and tragic, exciting and deep. Later I learned that this is called the feeling of family and country...
From a technical perspective, newspapers, television, and the Internet cover people across the country, and the development of modern communication has also made this effect infinitely larger.
…………
Yao Yuan has not returned home for two days.
He ran to Liu Qiangdong again to direct the material transportation. The roads in the most serious places have been opened, but don't cause trouble at this time.
They focused on Chengdu, frantically delivering supplies here, and using it as a transit before distributing them downwards. The difficulty was far greater than the snowstorm, and they had to withstand the impact of the tragic scene at all times.
Yinyin's small company also temporarily stopped working and came over to help.
It's now around 1:00 noon.
The office seemed very empty, and the LCD TV on the wall was on, broadcasting the latest news 24 hours a day.
Liu Qiangdong's eyes were frighteningly red. He lay on the sofa and squinted for a while. Then he suddenly jumped up as if he was going crazy and said, "Why don't I just go over there!"
"Going to Chengdu?"
"There are too many problems over there. I'll be calling for instructions every now and then. I might as well go to the scene to dispatch."
"It's okay to go. Everyone is in chaos now. If you go, they can still have a backbone."
Yao Yuan thought for a while and agreed.
"Then I'll book a ticket and sit wherever I can."
Liu Qiangdong immediately asked someone to book a flight, packed a small bag, and could leave at any time.
"Let's eat first, I didn't eat anything in the morning..."
At this time, Yinyin came over with a tray, using three bowls of noodles made in the small kitchen, and soup with shredded mustard and pork. The salty aroma hit her nose. Her eyes were redder, probably because she was crying. Girls are more emotional after all.
Yao Yuan was really hungry. He ate noodles and chatted about everything.
A voice came from the TV:
"To express deep condolences... May 19th to 21st is the National Day of Mourning. During this period... public entertainment activities will be stopped..."
Yao Yuan immediately called to make arrangements.
"Did you watch the news?"
"On the day of mourning, all games and celebrity activities have been stopped! The community, Maimai, and videos have blocked all non-related content. I will arrest them for review and send more manpower. If a piece of sensitive information is missed and used by peers again, we will
It’s useless!”
"In addition, pay more attention to online public opinion. If there is anything that is not conducive to us, even if it is just a few words, report it to me immediately! If there is a problem in the part responsible for whoever is responsible, he will disappear from the Internet immediately!"
Yao Yuan used a military order-like attitude to ensure that his subordinates would complete the mission.
It’s not that he is making a fuss. In extraordinary times, you have to use heavy regulations. In the long history of the development of the Internet, how many products have been ruined because of sensitive remarks, and how many peers have used this to attack their opponents!
As soon as he hung up the phone, it rang again. Guo Zhenxi called in person.
"Brother Yao, to make a long story short, there is a 'Love Dedication' disaster relief party on the 18th. Will you attend?"
"Of course!"
"We will organize donations on-site. There are individuals and companies. We need you to provide a number so that we can arrange the process."
"..."
Yao Yuan pondered for a moment and spit out a number. Guo Zhenxi was a little frightened: "Are you sure?"
"Can this kind of thing be a joke?"
"Okay! I have contacted many entrepreneurs, some are proactive, some are coping, and only Brother Yao impresses me. See you then!"
Hang up the phone again.
Liu Qiangdong asked what was going on, and Yao Yuan informed him, adding: "You can go too, the 18th is not too late."
"I'm not going. I'm going to the front line. I'll leave the higher-level matters to you and divide the work among ourselves."
"Okay, I have to go back and get ready."
He picked up the bowl, finished the noodles, and stood up to say goodbye.
…………
It has become very common to hold parties during disasters.
This time there is something different. The scale of the earthquake is too large and the impact is greater. Hong Kong and Taiwan are donating, and overseas are also donating. Even a small poor country like Mozambique has donated 40,000 yuan.
The largest tycoon, Saudi Arabia, donated US$50 million and US$10 million in supplies.
Now we are making donations by ourselves. If the amount donated on the spot is too small, it will be unjustifiable. The standards of this party are extremely high. CCTV has contacted the industrial and commercial circles extensively, and everyone will come anyway.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the 18th, the day of recording.
Yao Yuan and Yinyin arrived at CCTV's Studio 1. Nearly a thousand outstanding representatives from all walks of life gathered together, and the front row was all big leaders.
There was a minute's silence at the opening, followed by emotional introductions, artistic performances, and then the first round of on-site donations. Those who came up were all leaders of national brands.
Again and again, the second round was for units from the radio and television system and the publicity and publishing system.
China Film, TV stations, newspaper groups, and the Internet are also included. Tencent and Shanda donated 10 million each. The 99 group should have been included, but Yao Yuan donated too much, so they were listed separately.
Representatives from these units came to the stage and lined up in several rows, holding a red sign with the amount of donation written on it. Zhu Jun walked past the first row with a microphone, and everyone had a chance to speak.
And when you speak, you have to mention the company's name, which is equivalent to advertising.
Where has such a donation been made before?
This time, the effort is strong and the tolerance is high. As the same saying goes, no matter whether it is a show or not, advertising or not, as long as you donate, it is a good thing.
In the fourth round, there was one company that was unusual.
The boss personally went into battle, holding a red card with "30 million" written on it.
After he finished speaking, Zhu Jun had already walked over. Suddenly he added: "I just discussed with my wife and decided to donate another 70 million!"
Wow!
"Whoosh!"
Surprise and applause burst out at the same time. This was 100 million, the first 100 million I saw tonight. Later, the identity of this boss was revealed. His name was Zhang Xiangqing, a steel businessman, a Tangshan native, and an earthquake orphan.
"..."
Yao Yuan clapped his hands and experienced this scene again. In his last life, he was on TV, but this time he was in person.
The party process is very long.
Towards the end, the representative of 99 Group was finally called to the side stage. Yao Yuan didn't want to go up and hold a card by himself, so he found a dignified and generous female employee.
Host Dong Qing said: "Finally, we would like to invite individuals, companies and units who have donated more than 50 million yuan. They are..."
In the last round, there were very few, only seven.
The first one, Suning, and the second one, Gome, each donated 50 million. But what is interesting is that the names written on the cards are Zhang Jindong and Huang Guangyu, not the names of the groups, indicating that they were donated in the name of individuals.
The third Jiaduobao, 100 million.
The whole audience was wowed again!
The person before was working in steel after all, and you, the one selling cans of herbal tea, also donated 100 million. The public's perception was like seeing Hongxing Erke during the heavy rain in Henan.
Rizhao Iron and Steel Group, 100 million.
The national securities and futures industry is 101 million and 100 yuan. I don’t know how this number came out.
Shenzhen Charity Association, 130 million.
The last one, 99 Group!
When the camera showed the red card, countless viewers at the scene and in front of the TV took a breath, and some even rubbed their eyes.
"99 Group donated 300 million yuan and 100 million yuan in materials!"
"Okay, we also ask all entrepreneurs to say a word to our audience and the compatriots in the disaster area."
The representative of 99 Group was even more responsible and solemnly looked at the camera: "Everyone has a responsibility to bear the national crisis. All people in the Internet industry will do their best to help the people in the disaster area with earthquake relief and rebuild their homes!"
"Whoosh!"
No one had any objection to her claiming to be the leader of the Internet, and no one dared to object at this moment. The applause erupted in an instant, the most enthusiastic one so far today.
In fact, Yao Yuan wanted to donate 500 million, but it was a bit too exaggerated, so he increased the amount based on the snow disaster.
The major Internet companies in later generations have donated hundreds of millions to hundreds of millions, and even Tencent claimed to donate 100 billion to help common prosperity... Hmm.
Because at that time, the big manufacturers were rich, their market value was ridiculously high, and there were also tax avoidance considerations.
Although Alibaba and Tencent are now listed, they each have their own difficulties and are not as good at controlling funds as Yao Yuan.
In short, the 99 Group made its final appearance and successfully held the entire party. The leaders in the front row were smiling and stroking their hands. This may not sound good, but it is very flattering.
Let's take a look at our domestic enterprises. They are extremely powerful and socially responsible.
…………
The party was recorded for a long time, and Yao Yuan and Yinyin went home very late.
At the beginning of the National Day of Mourning, all websites under 99 became black and white, and the game login page also became black and white. They were suspended for three days. The official organization organized some mourning activities for players of "Wulin Gaiden" and "Zhu Xian".
At the same time, a large number of temporary editors were removed for review, and they screened almost every word, never letting a fish slip through the net.
At 14:28 in the afternoon, people across the country observed a three-minute silence. Yao Yuan had just finished the meeting and was walking to the door of his office. He stood at the door for three minutes, only to hear the sound of sirens and the honking of car horns outside.
After it was over, Cheng Wei quickly reported: "Mr. Yao! We found some accounts claiming to be Audition players in the post bar, and they are blowing up the posts!"
"Let me see!"
Yao Yuan took a look, and sure enough, the "Audition" post forum was a mess, with all kinds of obscene remarks, and these people were having a great time posting it.
"Idiot!"
Although "Audition" has changed hands, he still couldn't help but cursed.
Yao Yuan likes the word idiot very much.
If we talk about fools, idiots, idiots, etc., they always feel a bit cute and doting. Only idiots have clear grievances and are very durable.
"Sometimes it's not that I want to fight, it's that some people are too disgusting!"
He was feeling frustrated and had no way to vent his frustration, and said, "Tell Orange Culture that we are going to war!"
