Chapter 2243
"Da da da!"
Zhou Andong tapped the table with his fingers: "Alright, your daughter is only fourteen, there is plenty of time for you to think about it. Now let's talk about the disaster relief fundraising gala."
Zhang Shenghui slowly came back to his senses. His daughter was only fourteen years old, and she was still young, so it was indeed too early to consider these things. Moreover, as a father, he didn't want to send her abroad when she was in high school.
"After receiving your call that day, we first contacted CCTV, and they were very active when they heard about holding a disaster relief gala."
Having said this, Zhang Shenghui picked up the cigarette case in front of him, took out one and put it in his mouth, and then picked up the lighter to light the cigarette.
"That was our first communication with CCTV. Old Wu and I started contacting enterprises. I contacted seventeen, and Old Wu contacted twenty-four."
"Then, we had a second in-depth communication with CCTV and finally determined the specific donation amount for each enterprise."
Wu Hongkang added: "During the first two exchanges, CCTV conveyed to us that all enterprises participating in the donation would have an opportunity to go on stage."
"After all, everyone has taken out real money and silver, and it is only natural to take this opportunity to promote their own enterprises."
"However, according to the initial plan, it is necessary to wait until the gala is successfully concluded before each enterprise transfers the donation to the designated account."
"However, after I returned home and thought about it carefully, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this arrangement had certain risk hazards. After all, the most difficult thing to guess in this world is the human heart."
"If some enterprises successfully achieved the expected publicity effect after showing their faces on stage, and suddenly changed their minds and were reluctant to take out this money, this possibility does not completely exist."
"Based on the above considerations, after careful consideration, I think it is better to let each enterprise complete the donation first, and after getting the formal donation letter, they can have the opportunity to go on stage."
"Then, I communicated with CCTV again and talked about my thoughts. The feedback from CCTV was very positive and they were very supportive of my thoughts."
Zhou Andong cast his gaze at Wu Hongkang in surprise. Old Wu actually had such cognition. Sure enough, there was no fool among those who could be leaders of state-owned enterprises.
As a person who possessed memories of his previous life and lived a second life, he knew everything about such things. Recalling the several CCTV disaster relief galas in his previous life, each one was lively, and many enterprises appeared one after another, competing to show their love and social responsibility.
However, there was an enterprise that became a deadbeat after showing off, and kept delaying paying the promised donation.
After eating this kind of loss too much, CCTV formulated new regulations. All enterprises participating in the disaster relief fundraising gala who wanted to show their faces on stage and promote their enterprises had to donate first. Then, they could go on stage with the donation certificate.
At this time, Zhang Shenghui took over the conversation: "In the past few days, many enterprises have successively transferred the donations to the designated account in full."
Zhou Andong nodded slightly. In fact, enterprises that play rogue and become deadbeats are individual cases. Most enterprises are truly loving and willing to pay.
"How much did you donate this time?"
Wu Hongkang first let out a long sigh, and then answered: "Three million. It's really not easy to say. In order for this donation to pass smoothly, I spent a lot of effort, specifically went to the party group meeting to fight for it, and after a full two days of research, the number was finally decided."
Hearing this, Zhang Shenghui on the side couldn't help but laugh: "I also donated three million. This is quite simple for me, because I have the final say, and I can decide how much I want to donate directly, and no one dares to raise objections."
"The reason why I also donated three million is because we are partners. Since Old Wu donated three million, I definitely can't donate more than him, and it's not good to suppress him."
In this day and age, being able to donate three million at once is not a small amount. Especially for state-owned enterprises like the one Wu Hongkang is in, taking out such a huge amount of funds for donation really requires considerable courage and boldness.
Some people might think that anyway, this money is not paid out of Wu Hongkang's own pocket, so he should have no pressure. But the fact is not so. As a leader of a state-owned enterprise, every cent of public funds he uses, regardless of the purpose, must bear corresponding responsibilities and risks.
In contrast, private enterprises are much more flexible in handling funds. Let alone donations, even if they throw money into the river just to hear the sound, there will be no problem, but which leader of a state-owned enterprise dares to do so?
Zhang Shenghui looked at Zhou Andong and smiled: "Old Zhou, how much are you going to donate?"
Zhou Andong gave a "heh" laugh: "We are three partners, I naturally can't suppress you, so I plan to donate two million."
Zhang Shenghui and Wu Hongkang looked at each other. At the moment their eyes met, both of them captured that thick doubt from the depths of each other's eyes.
You know, except for the Shenzhen explosion accident last year, where Zhou Andong donated two million, in all other donation activities, the amount he donated was never lower than ten million, and they were all measured in US dollars!
Nowadays, many regions across the country have suffered extremely serious flood disasters. It stands to reason that Zhou Andong, who is wealthy and has always been keen on public welfare, should absolutely not just take out a mere two million to deal with it.
Although for the vast majority of people, these two million are definitely a huge sum of astronomical figures. But placed on Zhou Andong, it is just like a drop in the ocean.
More importantly, Zhou Andong and the Yin family are already at odds. Others don't know what's going on, but they know it clearly.
Especially since Zhou Andong has always been at the center of the entire social public opinion. If he really only donates two million this time, the Yin family is likely to make a big fuss and guide public opinion to accuse and scold him.
In this way, the good reputation that Zhou Andong has worked so hard to accumulate is likely to vanish overnight and be destroyed!
Zhang Shenghui stared at Zhou Andong with full suspicion. He really couldn't figure out how Zhou Andong, this little fox, could not think of the things he could think of?
Zhou Andong smiled and raised the beer bottle: "Come, come, come, let's drink!"
Zhang Shenghui and Wu Hongkang slowly raised their beer bottles absent-mindedly and touched them lightly with the bottle in Zhou Andong's hand. When the wine entered his throat, Zhang Shenghui felt tasteless.
Mainly because Zhou Andong's behavior was too abnormal, not to mention such an opportunity to greatly improve his image and earn public favor in front of the people of the whole country.
Just talking about this kind of behavior that leaves an opportunity for his competitors, even if Zhou Andong's head was kicked hard by a donkey, he couldn't do such a stupid thing.
Wu Hongkang didn't think too much, just let his gaze fall on Zhou Andong casually, and asked: "Are you going to participate in the disaster relief gala?"
Zhou Andong leaned back slightly, his right hand grabbed a handful of spiced peanuts carelessly, put them into his mouth, and then a crisp "crunch crunch" sound came from his mouth.
"No, let's leave this opportunity to show off to you. If I go, then you will all be eclipsed."
Hearing this, Zhang Shenghui on the side couldn't help but curl his lips, but didn't refute. Because he had to admit that with Zhou Andong's eloquence and the attention he usually received, if he really participated in the disaster relief gala, it would really have nothing to do with them.
Zhang Shenghui looked at Zhou Andong: "Yin Mo whored in Jiangzhou, was it arranged by you?"
"Fart!" Zhou Andong said very dissatisfied: "I am a good citizen who abides by the law, and I am also one of the top ten outstanding youths. How could I arrange for people to whore, this kind of illegal and criminal thing that violates morality and customs?"
"Besides, I don't know Yin Mo at all, why should I arrange it for him? To be honest, if you, Old Zhang, went and had such a requirement, even if I risked being caught by the police uncle, I would definitely arrange it for you, but Yin Mo forget it, we are really not familiar."
After speaking, Zhou Andong drank the remaining half bottle of wine in one breath, then put down the beer bottle and stood up, first grinned at Zhang Shenghui inexplicably, gave him a charming smile, then waved his hand lightly, and turned around dashingly.
"Alright, I'm going home to accompany my daughter, you guys drink slowly."
Looking at Zhou Andong's departing back, the charming smile of Zhou Andong was still flashing in his mind, which made Zhang Shenghui feel more and more suspicious.
Not afraid of the night cat calling, but afraid of the night cat laughing. This bastard must be holding back some bad things. It's just, what exactly does he want to do?
Wu Hongkang said with a smile: "Yin Mo whored in Jiangzhou, it must have been arranged by Old Zhou, this doesn't need to be asked."
Zhang Shenghui picked up a cigarette and lit it. After taking a deep puff, he exhaled a smoke ring: "The wool mill has always been the back garden of the Yin family."
"Now the above arranged for Zhou Andong to serve as the factory director. This is undoubtedly equivalent to holding a knife and stabbing directly into the Yin family's ass, and it is still stabbing openly."
"And Liaoning Province is Zhou Andong's lair. Now Yin Mingsheng went there to be the secretary. The intention behind it is already obvious. So, Zhou Andong and the Yin family must have a battle."
"It's just that what makes me unable to understand is why Yin Mo suddenly ran to Jiangzhou, and was pitted by Zhou Andong, and even burned the fire to his father Yin Mingsheng."
Zhang Shenghui held a cigarette, and wisps of blue smoke rose, floating slowly in the air like thin gauze, gently stimulating his eyes, making his left eye involuntarily squint slightly.
"If we only talk about Yin Mo whoring, if it didn't involve Yin Mingsheng, then Zhou Andong and the Yin family might still have room for maneuver and reconciliation."
"But now, Yin Mingsheng's negative news is overwhelming. Undoubtedly, this must be manipulated by Zhou Andong behind the scenes. In this way, the two sides have become at odds, destined to die."
"And Zhou Andong has gone to the forefront of everyone in public welfare and charity. He has also been saying that he wants to be a social enterprise and insists on practicing the concept of 'taking from the people and using for the people'. Indeed, he has always been doing so."
"Not to mention the 20 million US dollars he donated to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, nor the 1 billion US dollars he donated to the country, just say the snow disaster in the Ali region, he donated money and materials, with a total amount of more than 20 million, not to mention the hospitals he personally donated."
"Even the earth-shattering explosion accident in Shenzhen last year, he donated two million. But this time, facing the extremely severe flood disasters in many regions across the country, he only donated two million."
"This undoubtedly gave the Yin family an opportunity. They will inevitably seize this handle to make a big fuss and spare no effort to knock Zhou Andong off the altar."
Wu Hongkang lowered his voice and said slowly: "When I heard that he was going to serve as the factory director of the wool mill, I picked up the phone to tell him not to step into the muddy water of the wool mill."
"But in the end, I thought about it. Zhou Andong is so cunning. How could he not know about the various complex situations of the wool mill? Since he agreed to go to the wool mill, he must have his own reasons, so I didn't make this call."
Speaking of this, a contemptuous sneer appeared on Wu Hongkang's face: "As for why Yin Mo ran to Jiangzhou, I can guess one or two."
"That guy is notoriously greedy and stupid. If it were someone with a little brain, he wouldn't choose to run to Jiangzhou at such a sensitive time, let Zhou Andong twist it and use it as a fuse to light it."
"Look at Beijing again, Yin Mingsheng's negative news was exposed, and it spread like a prairie fire, and the speed of its spread was simply beyond imagination."
"Not only that, but more negative news unfavorable to the Yin family is also emerging one after another. Why don't you think about it carefully, why is this?"
Zhang Shenghui's eyes flashed, and he already understood: "It must be that Yin Mo offended too many people. In the past, these people were afraid of the Yin family and dared not retaliate."
"But now the situation is different. Obviously someone is deliberately targeting the Yin family behind the scenes. Those people naturally want to vent that breath in their hearts. How can they let go of such a good opportunity? They will inevitably fan the flames and push the waves behind the scenes!"
Wu Hongkang nodded deeply: "Yes, if it weren't for the Yin family's protection, just based on the bastard things Yin Mo did, he would have been thrown into a pit and buried long ago."
"As for him going to Jiangzhou, I can guess a little bit. It should be aimed at the Yugong Group. How stupid is this guy to dare to hit the idea of the Yugong Group and try to swallow it in one bite."
"Even the highly virtuous old man of the Yin family probably doesn't have this grandson who is so arrogant and greedy!"
Zhang Shenghui pondered and said: "Actually, Zhou Andong's goal is very clear. From beginning to end, he has been staring at Yin Mingsheng, just looking for an opportunity to attack."
"And Yin Mo suddenly sent himself to the door, which is equivalent to Yin Mo treating himself as a knife and handing it to Zhou Andong to stab his own father."
"Although the Yin family moved very fast, they still suffered a lot in this contest, mainly because the impact on Yin Mingsheng was too great."
"If Zhou Andong's golden body is not broken, Yin Mingsheng will be unable to move an inch in Liaoning Province. So, I just can't understand why Zhou Andong only donated two million, leaving an opportunity for the Yin family to attack him." ===== CHAPTER 2244 =====
