Chapter 2437

Zhou Andong sat leisurely in the spacious and comfortable executive chair, flipping through a newspaper in his hands. When his gaze fell on the front page, a report about the Central Committee convening the Third Symposium on Tibet Work caught his attention.

The report emphasized the importance of adhering to economic construction as the center and clearly pointed out the need to grasp the two major tasks of development and stability. This not only meant that the economy of the Tibetan region would be further developed, but also signaled that society would achieve comprehensive progress and long-term stability, and the people's living standards would continue to improve. In addition, the article detailed a series of policy measures proposed by the state to support the economic and social development of the Tibetan region.

A smile gradually appeared on Zhou Andong's face. The opportunities brought by deepening reform in the Tibetan region, especially for the investment sector, were much better than those in the interior. The projects he planned to invest in—potash fertilizer, lithium mines, gas stations, hotels, and farms—would certainly be able to enjoy the support of many preferential policies.

As for the plan to build off-season vegetable greenhouses in the Ngari region, although he was very confident, the teachers from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences who went to Ngari for research had not yet returned, so the specific situation was still unknown.

However, Zhou Andong believed that this project would definitely not have any problems. It was nothing more than improving the varieties slowly based on what the soil, climate, and water sources were suitable for planting. It was just that the construction time might have to wait until next spring.

Zhou Andong shook the newspaper in his hand, then slowly lowered his head and continued reading. Below was news about deepening the reform of the urban housing system, which clearly and detailedly expounded on the basic content of the urban housing system reform.

The most eye-catching part was that the method of physical welfare distribution for housing would be thoroughly changed, replaced by a monetary wage distribution system based primarily on distribution according to work. In addition, a housing provident fund system would be established.

"These past few days, it's all news about deepening the urban housing system reform. It seems the Central Committee is already accelerating its deployment." Zhou Andong muttered to himself, casually put the newspaper aside, and picked up another one—the Youth Daily.

There was no particularly major news on the front page, so Zhou Andong just glanced at it briefly and moved his gaze to the second page. Suddenly, his eyes blinked; he saw a bolded headline: "The Ugly Face of Pseudo-Public Welfare and Fake Charity."

Zhou Andong's eyebrows raised slightly, and a strong premonition arose in his heart: this news must be the Yin family firing a shot at him. The flood had passed for more than a month, his popularity had already cooled down, and now was the perfect time to fire at him.

Zhou Andong's gaze moved downward along the headline involuntarily, his eyes landing on the body text, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Charity, this great act, stems from a deep love for humanity and unremitting efforts to enhance human well-being. It is not just a moral emotion, but an indispensable lubricant and adhesive for human society.

The goodwill and love conveyed by charity are like a spring breeze, warming people's hearts, effectively eliminating alienation and barriers in society, promoting harmony and friendliness in interpersonal relationships, and thereby enhancing the cohesion and centripetal force of the entire society.

However, in July of this year, a rare rainstorm hit many parts of the country, leading to serious floods. Many places suffered huge losses, countless families were displaced, and they were in urgent need of aid and support.

At this critical moment, all walks of life extended a helping hand, donating money and materials, showing endless love and care. However, one person attracted public attention and controversy—a private entrepreneur who was labeled as a philanthropist.

This private entrepreneur only donated two million yuan during this disaster. This behavior is truly disappointing. For an ordinary businessman, a donation of two million yuan is worthy of everyone's respect and praise. After all, two million is a huge sum of money that is out of reach for the vast majority of us.

But this private entrepreneur is the richest man in our country, and some even say he is already the richest man in Asia. Such status and wealth make his donation behavior particularly eye-catching, and it has also triggered people's questioning and criticism.

People can't help but ask, why would a person with such huge wealth, a person labeled as a philanthropist, only donate two million when facing such a serious disaster?

The author believes that this so-called philanthropist is just fishing for fame, using the name of charity to buy a reputation for himself. His actions are shameful, and his heart deserves to be punished.

Because fake charity is undesirable, unfeasible, and unforgivable. Fake charity uses the name of charity to engage in fraud; it not only deceives people's hearts and causes moral decay, but it is also intolerable to the public. If fake charity is allowed to run rampant, it will inevitably confuse the public and cause huge harm to true charity and social credibility...

The article was eloquent and could have been two thousand words long. After reading it, the expression on Zhou Andong's face became very strange, and then he glanced at the author's name: Liu Jinhuan!

Zhou Andong put down the newspaper and picked up the cigarette next to him to light it. Because of Du Youwei's existence, he maintained a very friendly relationship with the Youth Daily, but this article appeared in the Youth Daily, which was a bit interesting.

Moreover, although the article scolded him, it was not as ruthless as imagined; instead, it analyzed true charity and fake charity with great depth. You know, the domestic charity industry has just started, and the author of this article can see through the pros and cons of charity; he is definitely a very talented person.

"Interesting!" Zhou Andong slowly raised his hand, put the cigarette in his mouth, and took a puff: "This article, published at this time, will definitely cause a certain range of public opinion."

Of course, Zhou Andong donated so much money; it is impossible to break his golden body with just this one article, and the Yin family understands this. Therefore, the next step is for that Secretary Sun from the city to come to the Woolen Mill for inspection.

And, that Secretary Sun will probably bring reporters with him. At that time, he will find an excuse, put a hat on his head, and then use the media to infinitely amplify it, and his reputation will stink, and his golden body will also show cracks.

As the saying goes, accumulated dust can melt bones, and public opinion can melt gold. The public is often blindly following, and few people are willing to carefully analyze the truth or falsehood of a matter. As long as it is said enough, the fake will become true, and the true will become fake. When his golden body is broken, the Yin family will definitely take the opportunity to launch a fatal blow at him.

Zhou Andong leaned comfortably against the back of the chair, holding a cigarette in one hand and placing the other on the armrest, his fingers tapping rhythmically: "That Secretary Sun should be coming down, maybe in these few days."
