Chapter 539: Mao Ying–Xue Ru Education Charitable Foundation
Mao Ying's face froze; Director Yang seemed a little angry.
Her words made Director Yang feel that his kindness was wasted on a donkey's liver and lungs.
It seemed as though Director Yang had ulterior motives.
"Director Yang, I know you're doing this for my own good."
"I'll remember this kindness."
"When I was in Yingjiang, Hong Jie said it's not yet time to return to the country; I want to ask your opinion—I know nothing about the Mainland."
Yang Qing didn't pay much attention to Mao Ying's offhand remark just now.
She wanted to find out about the domestic situation, and he supported her.
"Controls domestically are relatively strict; you've probably heard a bit about that."
"If you go donate money, once it's in their hands, you won't know where it ends up."
"Because money is scarce everywhere, never enough; they're willing to give you a good reputation and then promote you, but whether the money actually reaches its destination is uncertain."
"Then it's hard to say."
"In a strictly controlled society governed by individuals, people's rights are great, and those rights haven't yet been restricted."
"Once that money is in their hands, you can imagine what happens."
"So I don't advise you to donate money; the Mainland has just completed its industrialization infrastructure, and future industrial development will need countless high-quality industrial workers."
"And only now has the Mainland begun to restore the college entrance exam."
"The gap in educational resources is huge."
"I suggest you donate to education."
"Donate to teacher-training education."
"Donate foreign teaching materials, donate teaching equipment, donate teacher-training school buildings."
"These things can actually be put to use."
"If you want to do it, I can make the connections."
After hearing Yang Qing's words, Mao Ying's understanding of the Mainland became much clearer.
At least she now had a goal and was prepared to avoid being taken advantage of.
"Director Yang, how should I go about doing this?"
"Charitable foundations exist abroad; should I also set one up?"
Yang Qing laughed; this woman wasn't acting blindly—she likely had plans in mind, and she might even have come to seek donations.
"You can establish a Mao Ying Charitable Foundation."
"Black Tortoise Investment Bank can offer you some support."
"Besides, your boss—I mean me—I'm not stingy either."
"However much you invest in the foundation, I'll match it."
"However, if you take my money, the Mao Ying Charitable Foundation will be subject to oversight by the group's office."
Mao Ying immediately laughed and said generously.
"Then I'll donate 50 million."
"This woman really plans to go big."
"But since she's going to do it, it's for the country's good, so he won't be stingy either."
"Then I'll donate 50 million in your Hong Jie's name."
Mao Ying realized she was being a bit greedy.
"She just wanted to make up for it in the name."
"Then let's call it the Chen Hong Mao Ying Charitable Foundation."
"This woman really knows how to be a person, which put Yang Qing in a good mood."
"Let's call it the Mao Ying+Chen Hong Education Charitable Foundation."
"Since we've decided to support education, let's specialize in educational charity; that way we can also avoid people trying to exploit us."
"Like this: first find Azure Cloud Business Consulting Company to set up the framework, then I'll provide the capital."
"After those things are done, I'll connect you; you can go to the Mainland to look around and get a sense of the situation."
"You aren't planning to slowly withdraw from the entertainment industry, are you?"
"In a few years, when the Mainland opens up, maybe you can try investing domestically."
"It all depends on your talent; if it doesn't work out, just stay peacefully in the entertainment industry."
"At least here, everyone's an acquaintance; you won't starve—this counts as a fallback."
"But the premise is, you must maintain your own exposure."
"Heroine, making money can't stop."
"Whether more or less, this road can't be cut off."
Mao Ying was indeed somewhat moved; Yang Qing's words had basically set her path in motion.
"It's far more reliable than her own reckless efforts; they truly have her best interests at heart."
After the discussion was concluded, Mao Ying took her leave.
The news of Mao Ying establishing a charitable foundation also quickly spread throughout Eternal Splendor.
Li Long, after filming kung fu movies for so many years, also wanted to rest.
He really couldn't come up with anything new; filming more would affect his image.
Upon hearing that Mao Ying had set up a charitable foundation, he too felt moved.
But he had to consider the international impact.
So, setting up a fund on one's own requires it to be global.
But it also needs to benefit domestic livelihood.
But how to do it, what specifically to do, he had no clue, so he went to find Mao Ying.
Mao Ying and Li Long have a good relationship; they have also cooperated frequently at Hailaowu.
So Li Long was not polite at all; upon finding Mao Ying, he asked.
"Yingzi, is your fund ready?"
Mao Ying is now quite busy.
"Alright, how about it, do you want to also chip in a share?"
Li Long directly shook his head.
"I want to establish the Li Long Charitable Fund."
"So I came over to ask for your advice."
Li Long, because he was too hot, wanted to cool down; after studying Supreme Ultimate with Chen Hong, he understood the principle of excess.
He now single-handedly suppresses half of the martial world.
This prevents many from rising, including his own follower Hongbao.
Now his pay is as high as 8 million USD, and each year he earns tens of millions of USD from Hailaowu.
Hailaowu also now greatly needs to find a replacement for Li Long.
So now, whether it's Hailaowu or Gangdao, many people hope he dies.
He has become the source of wealth for too many people.
Now is the time to diminish his influence.
And the charitable fund not only gives him a reason to step back from the entertainment circle, but also lets him cloak himself in a charitable guise, increasing his safety.
Mao Ying held nothing back, telling Li Long much of the news that Yang Qing had said.
Li Long, who originally had no intention of seeking Yang Qing, now cannot avoid going.
Yang Zong will still invest; if he doesn't go, wouldn't he lose out?
Thus Yang Qing again welcomed Li Long coming to mooch off him.
Yang Qing seemed to have long known that Li Long would come.
Same time, same place.
Li Long and Yang Qing were eating lunch.
"Yang Zong, do you support my stepping back from the entertainment circle?"
This time Yang Qing did not advise.
"Support; actually, if you don't come, after a while I would also advise you to step back from the entertainment circle."
"Your danger is growing; if you don't retreat, the probability of accidental death will keep increasing."
"Too many people now want you dead."
Li Long showed an 'as expected' expression.
"Right, I also feel it; now those people at Hailaowu have growing hostility toward me."
"Incidents of tampering with props are also increasing."
"If it weren't for Qing Hong providing my security team, I might already have died several times."
"But there is one thing I have never been able to figure out."
"Why does Mao Ying have nothing going on?"
Yang Qing said coldly,
"Because she is a woman; in a patriarchal society, women are never seen as a threat."
"Moreover, Mao Ying's influence mostly affects women, and her pay is only 3 million USD."
"Mao Ying's replaceability is also low."
"It does not greatly affect their interests."
