Chapter 709: Starting anew, every penny of my money must be on the cutting edge
Yes.
At the beginning of 2008, a cold wave was bound to hit.
If you want to ask what was the most impressive thing at the beginning of 2008, it would definitely be the large-scale low temperature, rain, snow, freezing and other natural disasters that occurred in southern my country on January 3, 2008. disaster.
Collectively known as, Flower Planter 08 Snow Disaster.
This is a natural disaster that swept 20 provinces including Guangdong Province.
In about a month, 129 people died due to the disaster, 4 people were missing, and 1.66 million people were urgently relocated; 178 million acres of crops were affected, 87.64 million acres were damaged, and 25.36 million acres were harvested; 485,000 houses collapsed and 1.686 million houses were damaged.
.This kind of disaster happened just before the Chinese New Year, which really dampened everyone’s happiness.
Although Guangdong Province was also affected by the disaster, fortunately it was not among the hardest hit areas. The most serious ones were Hunan, Anhui, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou.
Direct economic losses were 151.65 billion.
The number of people affected by the disaster exceeds 1,000 people.
After this disaster, even in Ersha Island, we felt unusually cold.
"I didn't expect that there would be such heavy snowfall in the south. To be honest, I have never seen any snow in my life. This is the first time I have seen such a heavy one." Many young athletes from southern provinces are indeed
, this is the first time to see snow. It must have been a happy and good thing in the past, but now, it is not like that at all.
Any natural weather situation will immediately change its flavor once the word "disaster" is added to it.
Now is simply not the time to enjoy the snow scenery.
Just as everyone was discussing, the door was pushed open, and Yuan Guoqiang and others quickly walked in, saying: "I'm afraid this matter is very serious. The Cross Society collecting donations has arrived, and donations are being made at Ersha Island.
In progress. Xiao Tian, Hao Huan, Chen Juan, Lao Yi, Hu Kai...you can stay for a while."
After the others left, Yuan Guoqiang, Zhang Quan, and Ning Dehai were all at the scene. They closed the door and said, "I'm leaving you here. I believe you know what you are doing. You are all people who have won medals in competitions, and you also have a certain influence.
We have no power, so we still have to pay what we have to pay, so as not to open up old scores in the future, which will be troublesome."
Yuan Guoqiang understands this very well. Now in China, whether now, in the past or in the future, there will be countless keyboard warriors and troublemakers who like to use a magnifying glass to find problems. In addition, the future is an era of the Internet, and information
It spreads extremely quickly, so young people don’t understand many things. As the experienced older generation, they should “protect” it in advance.
Moral kidnapping is still a very popular thing in this era.
Everyone's mouth speaks louder than gold.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you still need to do what needs to be done.
"You don't need to donate too much, just do what you can. After all, it's a voluntary act..." As soon as he finished speaking, Su Shen suddenly asked: "To whom? Will it be taken away by the Cross Society?"
"Yes, that should be the case now." Yuan Guoqiang nodded.
"I will donate five million first."
"But... I don't want to donate to the Cross Society." Su Shen shocked these people just now when he opened his mouth. After all, celebrities nowadays, for this snow disaster, the highest number is in the millions, hundreds of thousands, or tens of thousands. Su Shen...
Going out in one wave is indeed a bit "horrifying".
But Su Shen's money came quickly, and he could earn more money in the United States in the future, so he didn't care about that.
As for why there are not more, it is because of the fear of "moral kidnapping". I believe everyone who has experienced it knows how powerful this is.
If you donate one million, people will say why you don’t donate 10 million. If you donate 10 million, people will say why you don’t donate 100 million. If you donate 100 million, people will say you are such a generous donation. There must be more.
And investing so much first does not mean that there will be no additional investment later, but there is no need to announce the additional investment immediately.
Besides, Su Shen is planning to make a low-key donation and organize his own foundation to distribute supplies on site.
As for why, if you search casually, you will understand that there are all kinds of cross societies. In fact, if you search cross societies all over the world, you will know how many tricks there are. The best way is actually to establish one yourself.
The best way to avoid it is to do it yourself and let everything be distributed, even to servants.
"You want to do it yourself?" This wave surprised everyone. In this year, there is obviously no awareness in this regard.
Basically, when donating money, you have to go to the Cross Society or something like that, and no one has thought about this aspect.
"Believe me, if you want to help more people and better spend the money on those who need them, it's best to do it yourself." Su Shen seemed to have already said: "I have asked Su Zhi in advance
The team has registered a foundation in this area. We invest and operate it ourselves, and we know the details well. Otherwise, it is not clear how much you donate and how much will be received. So in order to better help the victims
, this is the best way we can help those who really need help."
"Yeah. That makes sense." Zhao Haohuan said: "I have seen news on the Internet that disaster relief funds and materials have been misappropriated and resold, and I am also worried about this problem. Donating money yourself is not a problem. The main thing is that if the money
The fact that it didn’t go to the right person, but to some people who benefited, makes us look a little bit stupid.”
"Xiao Tian, this is a good idea. In this way, I can donate more and show more kindness to the people in the disaster area." Hu Kai said immediately. Obviously, Su Shen's doing this made him feel less doubtful.
"I, I will also donate more, Brother Tian." Chen Juan and the others also said.
…
A certain cross.
"What? Don't donate it to us?" When the fat-headed uncles heard this, their faces turned ugly, and they said, "You can't be so stupid, right? If you don't donate at this time, wouldn't you be risking the world's injustice? Don't you guys give them all?
Are you down?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No, no, it's not that I am ignorant, and it's not that they don't donate, I mean, they don't donate to us."
"Huh? If you don't donate to us, who will you donate to?" Several people were also confused. They had never seen such an operation.
"I heard that I set up a foundation and sent it directly to the disaster area." At this moment, the TV station suddenly interrupted a news broadcast.
Famous athletes in our province, Su Shen, Zhao Haohuan and others, donated a total of 8 million yuan to the disaster area. Including donations from other people on Ersha Island, a total of 8.5 million yuan was injected into the Su Shen Love Fund. All this money was used for disaster relief. The details will also be
Open and transparent.
"88.5 million???" In the early 2000s, except for top celebrities, ordinary celebrities donated tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but they actually donated... 8.5 million!
Greedy, so greedy.
It would be great if the money could be donated here, but what a pity, what a pity.
"Let's contact them and see if they can donate. If they can't, then our Cross Society should also exercise its power of people's supervision and help them to be careful when entering and exiting."
"8.5 million, these people are so rich, they have donated more than top celebrities."
…
Of course, it's a pity that Su Shen ignored this routine. He didn't intend to embezzle a penny, so they could "check" it any way he wanted. In addition, he was originally planning to disclose the details, so...
In Su Shen's opinion, these people's methods are not worth mentioning.
…
"Since January 10 this year, most parts of southern my country have experienced a once-in-50-year low-temperature rain, snow, and freezing disaster. The direct economic losses due to the disaster have exceeded 100 billion yuan. After the disaster, all walks of life have been active, proactive, and spontaneous Various forms of donation activities have been carried out locally, providing important support and help for the success of national disaster relief efforts."
"The Disaster Relief and Relief Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Charity Coordination Office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Charity Donation Information Center of the Ministry of Civil Affairs jointly compiled the "Overall Situation of National Social Donations in the Severe Low Temperature Rain, Snow and Ice Disaster in Early 2008" on the basis of summarizing and analyzing the national disaster relief donations. ", so that all sectors of society can understand the situation of this social donation and further promote the transparency of my country's charitable donation work."
"According to statistics on donations across the country, as of February 29, in response to the low-temperature rain, snow and freezing disaster, the total amount of donations from all walks of life reached 2.275 billion yuan, of which 1.984 billion yuan was donated, accounting for 87.21%; donated materials were discounted
291 million yuan, accounting for 12.79%. Among the 2.275 billion yuan in donations, donations from within the country were 1.541 billion yuan, accounting for 67.74% of the total donations; the total donations from overseas were 734 million yuan, accounting for 32.26% of the total donations.
. Among them, 1.17 billion yuan was donated by the business community; 158 million yuan was donated by the military and armed police; 100 million yuan was donated by various social organizations; 62.33 million yuan was donated by cadres and employees of central and local administrative institutions; and approximately 50.67 million yuan was donated by other individuals."
"The style..."
…
"Ah Tim, the news said you donated 5 million this time? Is it true?" The voice of Father Su and Mother Su came over the phone.
"Well, yes, I donated 5 million. It's true." Su Shen said.
"Okay, well done. You are worthy of being the heir of our Su family. This is a good thing, a great thing." I was originally worried that my son would go astray easily because he was too "young and promising". Now it seems that it is purely
I'm just worrying blindly.
His own son is still his own son.
"Do a good job, win glory for the country, and work hard for this Olympics." After Su's father said, he heard Su's mother's voice coming from the other end of the phone, saying: "Hey, don't just talk about this, Xiaotian.
, you have to train hard, but you also have to take it easy, your health comes first."
Listening to the two voices on the other end of the phone, Su Shen felt that his nose was a little sore.
Even though he has been a human being for two lifetimes, his parents are still a "hump" that he cannot overcome.
The affection between parents is really the most touching thing.
At this moment, in the ancient town, after seeing the news about Su Shen, Father Lin and Mother Lin all looked at each other. They had more appreciation and respect for Su Shen, a boy they had seen since childhood.
