Chapter 693 The influence of the Youth Development Foundation
"Professor, retirement does not mean that you will no longer work. Both Huaxia University and Huaxia Industry need your experience and knowledge, but you will not have to work on these things. We young people have a lot of strength. If we don't use it, we will be exhausted.
, everyone thinks it’s right?”
"Yes, Mr. Liu is right. We have more strength. We will do whatever you ask us to do, Mr. Xiong!"
Everyone said in unison that Professor Xiong was their role model in both knowledge and character, and everyone felt sorry for him for working so hard.
But everyone knows the professor's temper, and no one dares to ask him to leave his job. That is what Liu Lang can say. Now that the professor has been persuaded to relax, of course everyone must "take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory."
"Okay, okay, I don't have to do the work, but the ugly talk is ahead. If you don't do well, don't blame me!"
"Professor, don't worry, as long as I, Liu Lang, are here, Huaxia Industry will definitely become the center of our country's industrial technology, I guarantee you!"
"Well, then I, an old guy, should try to live a few more years!"
With Liu Lang's persuasion, Xiong Huaizhi could finally retire with peace of mind. An old man who had worked hard for the country's industrial undertakings for more than fifty years finally reached the age of retirement.
After "settling" Xiong Huaizhi, Liu Lang finally felt relieved. It was a bit ridiculous to think that a seven-year-old child like himself had to persuade an old man who was over seventy years old.
After lunch, Liu Lang and Sun Hu went non-stop to a place called Bali Bridge on the edge of the Second Ring Road. There was a small two-story building next to the bridge. There was a wooden plaque hanging on both sides of the door, which read
The "National Youth Development Foundation", yes, this is the unofficial non-profit organization that Liu Lang established half a year ago. Now an inconspicuous department is running an amazing event - Project Hope.
Liu Lang and Sun Hu came to the second floor. Wang Nan was in charge of the project in the corridor on the second floor. Wang Nan had received news of Liu Lang's return a few days ago and had been waiting at home specially these days.
"Mr. Liu!"
Wang Nan was very happy to see Liu Lang.
Wang Nan is wearing a suit and looks very much like a business owner, but this is just an appearance. He is much thinner than half a year ago. He is only thirty-two years old this year, but his temples are already a little gray, and there is a lot of excess on his face.
Fewer wrinkles.
"Brother Wang, are you still used to the work in the past six months?"
Liu Lang asked.
"Adapt, adapt. The work I have done in the past six months has been more fulfilling than the past ten years or so. Xiao Du, please call everyone here immediately and let's have a meeting!"
After a while, all the members of the Youth Foundation gathered together. There were eleven people in total. There were also nine people who were working on Project Hope in other places. They could not make it back. There are now a total of twenty people in the Foundation.
, they are all full-time employees. Most of them were former TV reporters and colleagues with Wang Nan. These people abandoned their original "iron rice bowl" to work at the foundation because of their love for this job. In this money
In a society where we are the best, we deserve respect from everyone.
"Everyone, let me introduce to you. This is Liu Lang, whom I always mention to everyone. It is because of his efforts that the country established the Youth Foundation and we have the opportunity to realize our ideals. Without Mr. Liu, this
The foundation would not have been established, so we would like to welcome him with warm applause to inspect the work!"
Wang Nan took the lead in applauding, and everyone warmly welcomed him.
Liu Lang was very popular back then. There were very few people in the country who didn't know about him, especially these reporters. Almost no one didn't know about the era-significant title of "Prodigy Liu Lang". However, most people had only heard about it and had no idea.
Having seen this legendary child prodigy with their own eyes, today was the first time they saw each other, and everyone was full of curiosity.
"Brother Wang, my role is not that big. You have given me the award. However, you have achieved great results in the past six months. The most obvious thing is that Brother Wang, your hair is almost white, and you look like a man in his fifties."
Little old man, I remember you are only in your early thirties this year!"
"Ha, I am thirty-two years old this year, and my hair is gray because I have less gray hair!"
Wang Nan smiled.
"How come you are all white-headed? Then why are the others also gray-headed? Are you all young and white-headed?"
Liu Lang's words made everyone laugh.
The Youth Foundation has only been established for half a year, and many tasks are still being explored, such as how to deal with other departments and how to organize and coordinate fundraising issues. These are new things and will consume a lot of energy, but they are not the most labor-intensive things.
Now the Hope Project project has begun to be implemented, and the first batch of rescue areas are Shanxi and Hebei
In the surrounding rural areas, this requires a large amount of statistics and verification of the local poor population. These tasks are the most tedious. Almost half of the twenty employees have to work in other places. Sometimes they work for a month or two, even at home.
There is no way they can go back. The overload of work makes them age very quickly, which can be seen on everyone's faces.
Wang Nan reported on the work. In the past six months, the foundation had received a total of more than 20 million yuan in donations. Liu Lang and the Huo family contributed 10 million yuan. The "Gemei" air-conditioning factory and "Jianlibao" also each received
Donating one million, they belong to the "Liu Lang family" company, so they will naturally give full support. Of course, this matter is also a great thing that benefits the country and the people.
In addition, the state also provided five million yuan, and the rest of the money was raised by people like Wang Nan. Most of it was donated by companies in Hong Kong Island, and there were very few domestic companies.
More than 20 million yuan is already a lot, and 5 million yuan has been paid out to help more than 3,000 poor students and allow them to return to school.
A month ago, national television reported on the Youth Foundation, highly praising their work and calling on all parts of the country to pay attention to students who have dropped out of school due to poverty.
It can be said that the Youth Foundation's influence has begun to grow, and it has attracted the attention of people across the country.
"Brother Wang, the foundation's achievements in the past six months are obvious to all. It has raised more than 20 million yuan and helped thousands of poor students return to class. I am deeply proud of everyone. I am very grateful to you!"
Liu Lang is not talking politely. The salary of these staff members is not very high. Wang Nan is the highest, only more than 380 yuan per month. The others are around 320 yuan, which is the national average.
, but their workload is very heavy, they often travel on business, and sometimes they cannot go home for a month, so this job is purely an ideal for them, not to make money. Everyone has an ideal, and at the same time, they will work for it.
Those who strive are worthy of respect.
"Mr. Liu, this foundation is not just a job for us, but more of a responsibility. Now this responsibility is placed on our shoulders, and our work has also been recognized by the country. No matter in the future,
No matter how difficult it is, I will have no regrets!"
Wang Nan said affectionately that in the past six months, seeing thousands of poor students return to school with their support has indeed given them a huge sense of accomplishment. Perhaps these people have changed their destiny because of this, and even
There will be great talents among them in the future.
