Chapter 740: Donations cannot be treated as advertisements
Fang Qiao refused very seriously: "The explosion accident brought disaster to many families. Children lost their parents, parents lost their children, and originally happy families were shattered.
Doing charity is great love. Just as our chairman said, when one side is in trouble, all sides support. If everyone contributes a bit of love, letting small love gather into great love, it can lift up hope.
However, for the donations for this accident, no publicity is needed. Donations cannot be treated as advertisements, letting the enterprise eat human blood buns. This goes against our chairman's original intention and mission of being a social enterprise."
Cao Guohong, Lu Xianming, Liang Xiong, and Chen Shuisheng were truly moved. Whether it's an individual or an enterprise, when a large sum of money is taken out, isn't it ultimately for a good reputation?
Otherwise, who would throw away the money they worked so hard to earn for no reason? But today, they finally witnessed what is called selflessness, what is called charity, and what is called great love.
Therefore, for safety, they had to bring 20 or 30 security personnel.
After dealing with it almost enough, a typhoon landed, causing significant casualties and property damage to Shencheng, making it even harder for me to get away to see Chairman Zhou. Today you came, so it's just right that we go see Chairman Zhou together."
Fang Qiao said with a smile: "Our Chairman Zhou has already returned to Beijing."
"Ah?" Cao Guohong was stunned, then looked annoyed, and said with great regret: "I couldn't spare the time, I should have had someone contact Chairman Zhou."
Fang Qiao also knew Cao Guohong's intentions. She came, in fact, not just to donate these two million. Shencheng, after all, is the frontier of reform and opening up, and the future capital of technology.
According to Zhou Andong's development plan for the electronics factory, they wanted to build a VCD assembly plant here, and in the future, when they launch major appliances, they would also build production lines here.
"Mayor Cao, I can represent the Yugong Group. If there is anything, you can talk to me. If I can't make the decision, I will naturally report it to the group's leadership."
"Since Manager Fang can make the decision, I am relieved." A smile appeared on Cao Guohong's face, and then he looked at the time: "Manager Fang has been on the train for two days, so you must not have eaten well or slept well.
Let's eat now, and then you can rest in the hotel for a day. Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to take you around to see, and then we will talk."
Fang Qiao was indeed a bit tired: "Shencheng has a typhoon, and the planes have all stopped, so we could only come by train."
"Let's go!" Lu Xianming said: "The guesthouse is all prepared, and you can eat when you arrive."
………………
Beijing!
Lian Xiangzhi held a high-profile press conference, first expressing condolences to the victims of the Shencheng explosion accident, then talking passionately about national enterprises, expressing his patriotism, and finally announcing a donation of 200,000 to the families of the injured in the Shencheng explosion accident.
Other enterprises saw Lian Xiangzhi's actions and were also moved, because they had all tasted the sweetness, and they had to ride this wave of popularity no matter what. So they all started preparing to hold press conferences.
Zhang Shenghui was in his office reading the newspaper, which contained the news of Lian Xiangzhi's donation to the Shencheng explosion accident. He was also moved, but he always had a doubt in his heart.
Zhou Andong was at the accident scene and participated in the search and rescue of the injured, but in the end, he only left over a thousand US dollars at a pharmacy, letting the boss donate it for him, and this donation had a reason.
According to his understanding of Zhou Andong, now that there was such great popularity, he would definitely add fuel to the fire to keep the popularity rising.
If he knew that when there was no popularity, that guy would even create it himself, now that the situation was so favorable, why did he suddenly disappear?
Zhang Shenghui frowned and paced back and forth in the office.
"No, no, there must be something going on here, otherwise that fox Zhou Andong couldn't be so indifferent."
"Tap, tap, tap..."
The office door was knocked, and Zhang Shenghui shouted: "Come in!"
A middle-aged man pushed the door and entered: "You saw the newspaper, right?"
Zhang Shenghui nodded: "You're talking about Lian Xiangzhi."
"Yes!" The middle-aged man said: "Other enterprises will definitely take action too. Should we prepare something?"
Zhang Shenghui shook his head: "No rush, let's wait and see."
The middle-aged man said: "Lian Xiangzhi has already seized the initiative. If we are late, even if we donate more money, the effect will be greatly reduced."
Zhang Shenghui was silent for a moment: "I feel there is a problem here, but I can't see it, so it's better to wait."
The middle-aged man was stunned: "Donating money, what problem could there be?"
"Why don't you read it?"
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but looking at Zhang Shenghui's appearance, he knew that whatever he said would be useless; Zhang Shenghui would not agree.
Zhang Shenghui looked at the middle-aged man: "How much do you know about Zhou Andong?"
"Cunning!" The middle-aged man said these four words without thinking.
"Hahaha..." Zhang Shenghui laughed happily: "These four words can indeed describe Zhou Andong."
The middle-aged man also laughed: "Seriously, in the white liquor market, only Zhou Andong can be our opponent."
Zhang Shenghui said: "In the Shencheng explosion accident, Zhou Andong was at the scene and participated in the search and rescue, and only donated over a thousand US dollars, and let the pharmacy boss donate it.
After this matter was reported, he became popular again. Logically, he should strike while the iron is hot and add more fuel to make the fire burn even brighter, but he did nothing. Don't you think it's strange?"
The middle-aged man also frowned. He really hadn't thought that much: "Lian Xiangzhi thought of donating money to ride the wave of popularity, and Zhou Andong is so cunning and was right there, so why didn't he take any action?"
"Exactly!" Zhang Shenghui took a puff of his cigarette: "This is what I can't understand, so we must be cautious, it's best to wait."
"Ding-a-ling..."
The phone rang suddenly. Zhang Shenghui picked up the phone, and Wu Hongkang's voice came through the receiver.
"Old Zhang, you saw Lian Xiangzhi's press conference, right?"
"I saw it!" Zhang Shenghui immediately understood the intention of this call: "You also want to donate money?"
"Yes!" Wu Hongkang had already tasted the sweetness, so how could he miss this opportunity: "How about we hold a joint press conference?"
Zhang Shenghui said with a smile: "Before holding a press conference, we should ask Zhou Andong first."
Wu Hongkang was stunned: "Why ask him?"
Zhang Shenghui said: "We are partners, and he was at the Shencheng accident scene and participated in the search and rescue, so how can we leave our partner behind?" ===== CHAPTER 741 =====
