The concept of corporate social responsibility was proposed by Westerners and had not been introduced to China at that time. At that time, most Chinese companies were still considering how to turn losses into profits, and how could they have the leisure to do public welfare undertakings? Qin Hai as
A time traveler naturally sees further than others. He knows that enterprises should bear certain social responsibilities not only to contribute to society, but also to benefit the development of the enterprise itself.
For an enterprise to survive in the market, many relevant entities are involved, including local governments, local residents, consumers, investors, suppliers, etc. A company that has the courage to assume social responsibilities can leave a good impression on relevant entities.
This makes the relationship between the enterprise and each subject closer, and can resolve many unexpected troubles.
For example, some companies that are keen on public welfare in the eyes of the public will be more tolerant even if certain scandals occur. On the contrary, companies that do not pay attention to social responsibility will cause an uproar once a little negative news appears.
The losses are far greater than the contribution to charity.
In addition to external benefits, a company's social responsibility can also have a positive impact on its employees, helping to improve employees' awareness of integrity, sense of belonging and pride, etc. Just imagine, if the leader of a company is hard-hearted
, is indifferent to external things, how can his employees be loyal to the company?
Based on these understandings, Qin Hai has always had social responsibility requirements for its companies, and providing funding for local education is a manifestation of fulfilling social responsibilities. Regarding Qin Hai's requirements, Ning Zhongying and Song Hongxuan
, Liu Shuo and others all agreed, and this also formed a corporate culture of Daqin Group.
Hearing that Zhu Yichen expressed his gratitude for the donation as soon as he came over, Qin Hai knew that this was just the beginning. Rao Ronggen and the others had put up such a big battle, obviously not just for the 100,000 yuan last year.
"President Qin, I will now report to you the situation of our Jintang education." Zhu Yichen said, taking out a large stack of manuscript paper from his pocket. Then he began to speak stammeringly.
Seeing that Zhu Yichen had come prepared, Qin Hai's eyes narrowed slightly, and a knowing smile appeared on his face. He was not a superior leader, and the industry he was engaged in had nothing to do with education. Zhu Yichen had to
Did he specially write a large stack of manuscripts and go to the restaurant to read them to him? Obviously, Jintang City took a fancy to his characteristic of being enthusiastic about public welfare, so he chose a field like education to beg for help from him. This can be regarded as a blessing.
It's better to do whatever you want.
In the early 1990s, China's education was in a state of turmoil. Due to the limited financial resources of various regions, the investment in education funds was far from meeting the needs of education. It was very good if various regions could ensure that teachers' salaries were adequately paid. If they wanted to repair school buildings and purchase teaching aids,
, it’s simply wishful thinking.
Due to low salary and difficult working conditions, many capable teachers have changed jobs. College graduates are also unwilling to work as teachers in schools, causing the entire education industry to face a huge crisis. In order to retain teachers and improve educational conditions, various places
The education department has to find ways to make money on its own. As a result, some rent school venues to commercial companies to collect rents. Some hold various cram schools to generate income. Some key schools clearly mark prices to recruit students who have not yet taken the exam... This is
The so-called "industrialization of education" has been widely criticized in later generations.
Today's Jintang does not even have the conditions to industrialize education. Because the overall economy is in recession, people do not have much money in their hands, and schools cannot find targets for high fees. Under such circumstances, Jintang's
One can only imagine what primary and secondary education will look like.
Although he was mentally prepared, Zhu Yichen's introduction still shocked Qin Hai. According to data provided by Zhu Yichen, half of the rural primary and secondary schools in Jintang's districts and counties are dangerous buildings, but they have no money to maintain them.
Thousands of students sit in these dilapidated buildings to attend classes year after year.
"Mayor Rao, are these true?" Qin Hai turned to look at Rao Ronggen and asked him.
Rao Ronggen was annoyed with Zhu Yichen's behavior of introducing the situation with a manuscript. According to the original idea, Rao Ronggen should have "accidentally" mentioned the education issue. Then Zhu Yichen should have "hastily" introduced the relevant situation, so as to impress Qin Hai to the greatest extent.
Who would have thought that Zhu Yichen, who was out of touch, could not remember so much data, and in a panic, he was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he took out the manuscript.
Hearing Qin Hai asking for confirmation, Rao Ronggen's face turned slightly red. He tried his best to stabilize his mind, then nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, our city's financial situation is very tight. Regarding dilapidated school buildings in rural areas,
Mayor Zhu has raised the issue of renovation many times at government office meetings, but due to lack of funds, it has been delayed again and again, which makes me very anxious."
"That's it." Qin Hai nodded and said nothing. Jintang's financial difficulties should be a fact, but since the financial difficulties are to this extent, as the mayor, he should at least pretend to be frugal, right? Yes.
If you have enough money to buy an Audi car, you have enough money to throw such a luxurious banquet, and just the famous wines you drink in one meal can probably repair a school. When you are so extravagant in the show, how can others be interested in donating money to fund education?
?
Of course, as a guest, Qin Hai could not grab Rao Ronggen by the collar and question him. This would be impolite and childish. Local officials also have the helplessness of local officials. Of course, helpless people must also be shameless.
This is something that Qin Hai can't control.
"Mr. Qin... Do you think I want to continue?" Zhu Yichen held the manuscript, stood pitifully beside Qin Hai, and asked in a low voice. Even though he was also a deputy mayor after all, he really had some stage fright in front of Qin Hai.
, Qin Hai’s net worth introduced by his colleagues was enough to make him feel pressured.
Qin Hai then remembered that he had left poor old Zhu in the cold, so he smiled and said, "Mayor Zhu, please continue to introduce me. I just learned about these situations. Alas, it is really worrying."
"Then let me continue... In 1990, there were private teachers in our city..." Zhu Yichen stuttered and prepared to continue reading.
But Rao Ronggen heard the reluctance in Qin Hai's words, so he said to Zhu Yichen: "Mayor Zhu, please report these situations to Mr. Qin in detail when you have time later. You have such a thick manuscript, it was the last time I went there
It's a manuscript for the meeting of the Provincial Department of Education. I'm sorry you still have it with you. Mr. Qin has just gotten off the train and is tired from the journey. What do you think, don't let him hear these unpleasant things anymore?"
"Okay, okay, then I will report to President Qin when the time is right." Zhu Yichen also realized that what he did was inappropriate, so he quickly stepped down, put away the manuscript, and prepared to return to his table to discuss with his colleagues.
We continued to drink.
Qin Hai patted Zhu Yichen's hand and said: "Mayor Zhu, education is a century-old plan. Our Chemical Materials Group Company has always been concerned about education. If it is convenient, please send a copy of these materials to the administrative department of our company.
In particular, we have attached a list of schools with dilapidated school buildings so that we can consider how to provide support."
"Okay, okay, I will arrange for someone to sort out the materials when I get back and send them to President Qin as soon as possible." Zhu Yichen promised.
After dismissing Zhu Yichen, Qin Hai turned around, raised his glass and gestured to Rao Ronggen, and said: "Mayor Rao, I really didn't expect that our financial situation in Jintang is so tight. Don't worry, since we want to invest in Jintang
, that is to regard oneself as a Jintang person. The difficulties of the Jintang government are our difficulties, and we will try our best to do something for the people of Jintang as long as funds permit."
"Then thank you very much, Mr. Qin." Rao Ronggen also raised his wine glass and touched it with Qin Hai.
What happened next was lackluster, nothing more than various drinking games. As Qin Hai was a VIP, others naturally did not dare to be too casual with him. However, Heizi raised his wine glass and challenged the whole audience to Jintang City.
All the officials were restrained.
After nearly two hours of commotion, Qin Hai raised his wrist to look at his watch, and then pretended to yawn, with some tiredness showing on his face. Seeing this, Rao Ronggen stood up knowingly and loudly announced that the banquet was over. Everyone.
They had another drink together, then each put down their glasses and prepared to leave.
"Mr. Qin, I have asked Xiao Zhao to arrange the best room. You and the others in the company can rest here." Rao Ronggen pulled Qin Hai and said.
"Yes, yes, we have arranged everything. Each room has a dedicated waiter to provide 24-hour service to ensure the satisfaction of all distinguished guests." Zheng Xiuzhu, the director of the guest house, emerged from nowhere and smiled sweetly.
said.
Qin Hai waved his hand and said: "No, thank you Mayor Rao, thank you Director Zheng, let's go back to the company to live there. In the past few days, I have to discuss some technical issues with the engineers in the company, and I will come back in a few days.
Visit Mayor Rao."
"This..." Rao Ronggen was a little dumbfounded. He had expected to let Qin Hai stay in the guest house so that city officials could visit him more conveniently. During the visit, he would also look for opportunities for Qin Hai to do more for Jintang.
Now that Qin Hai said that he wanted to go back to the company to live, it was inconvenient for city officials to come and harass him. However, he could not find any reason to object to Qin Hai's arrangement. After all, Qin Hai had his own property in Jintang.
"Well... that's fine, Director Zheng, please work harder these days. Although Mr. Qin lives in his own company, we still have to do the reception work. You go to Mr. Qin every night to ask for instructions and see what Mr. Qin's order is.
If you want to eat something or where you want to go in the next two days, you have to make arrangements in time, understand?" Rao Ronggen gave orders to Zheng Xiuzhu.
"Understood!" Zheng Xiuzhu replied loudly, holding out his huge belly.
"This...I'm afraid that's not necessary." Qin Hai couldn't laugh or cry. It seemed that Rao Ronggen was really relying on him.
