Chapter 3788
Not to mention the GDP of an industry they could drive. These enterprises all brought a large number of supporting enterprises. The GDP produced by these enterprises combined could already exceed the GDP of Linshan City last year.
Therefore, almost all municipal leaders of Linshan City attended their completion and production ceremony.
Yu Ruizhi, Hou Wenhai, Hou Wenchang, Xu Xiaoguang, and others also came to Linshan to attend their completion and production ceremony. Of course, this also included all senior management personnel of Xuanwu Technology, Hengxing Microelectronics, and TJD Technology, who also came here. For a time, Linshan City was a gathering of wind and clouds.
Along with Yu Ruizhi came Yu Ruoqiu, who also brought her daughter. Her daughter was already over a year old, could call her mother, and could walk. She was particularly cute and looked very much like Yu Ruoqiu, but her temperament was not like her. Her hair was somewhat naturally curly, and she loved to laugh, so she looked like a doll.
On the day they came, Su Xinghui invited them to have a meal at home. Su Xinghui rarely invited anyone to eat at home, but Yu Ruizhi and his sister, Hou Wenhai and his brother, and Xu Xiaoguang were not outsiders, so he naturally had to invite them to have a meal at home.
The most popular person at the table was Meng Xiaoxue, the daughter of Yu Ruoqiu. She was not named according to the Meng family's generation, but was born when it was snowing, so she was given this name. Everyone liked her very much, especially Niu Niu, who sat beside this little sister. Xiaoxue couldn't eat much, so he took her to play, and the two of them played very happily.
After eating, everyone sat in the living room. Niu Niu also took Xiaoxue to play in the living room. The living room was air-conditioned and very cool, and everyone was harmonious.
Yu Ruizhi told Su Xinghui that he had rushed back from Chuanxi this time. Su Xinghui knew what Yu Ruizhi was doing in Chuanxi.
Yu Ruizhi and Yu Ruoqiu, the brother and sister, had always been committed to charity. They had donated and built some public primary schools in many poor mountainous areas. The year before last, when they were chatting with Su Xinghui, Su Xinghui talked about Chuanxi, saying that many mountainous areas in Chuanxi were very poor and needed help.
Su Xinghui also said that Chuanxi was full of mountains and was located in a high-incidence area of earthquakes. The rural primary schools there were relatively simple, and many were dangerous houses. If an earthquake occurred, it would be a devastating disaster for the children there. He said that Yu Ruizhi's charity foundation could consider Chuanxi and build some earthquake-proof school buildings there.
Su Xinghui said this, of course, because next year would be the year of the Chuanxi earthquake that shocked the world. Su Xinghui hoped to save some lives through his own efforts.
Su Xinghui knew that he could not directly predict the earthquake next year. If he did, not only would no one believe it, but he would also be sliced and studied after the earthquake to see if he was an alien.
Moreover, even if he predicted the earthquake and people believed it, what could be done? The earthquake affected such a large area and involved nearly ten million people. Should all these people be relocated? This was obviously unrealistic. It would be better for him to take some practical actions to effectively reduce the number of casualties.
And how to reduce the number of casualties? The most effective way was, of course, to build earthquake-resistant houses, and they should not be built too high, and the quality must be excellent. This was the most effective way to reduce casualties.
In the Chuanxi earthquake, the most casualties were caused in schools, because it was class time, and the students in the schools couldn't run out in time. The school buildings had been around for a long time and were not earthquake-resistant, so almost all of them collapsed, and most of the children in the schools were crushed under the collapsed school buildings, causing a large number of casualties.
Another reason was that the local people had almost never received any popularization or training on earthquake resistance and prevention knowledge. When the earthquake came, they were at a loss, which naturally could not effectively reduce casualties. In fact, many casualties were also caused by secondary injuries.
Therefore, Su Xinghui cleverly influenced the brother and sister Yu Ruizhi two or three years in advance, asking them to build school buildings with good earthquake resistance there.
The place where Yu Ruizhi donated the most schools before was Hudong, because Yu Lao's hometown was in Hudong, and he had a natural sense of intimacy with that place. However, Hudong's development was very good now, so the education investment in many places was very large. Speaking of which, Chuanxi was a place that needed public schools more.
Yu Ruizhi also sent people to Chuanxi for inspection. He learned that it was indeed located in the crustal fault zone and was a frequent earthquake area, and the poverty of the mountainous areas there also shocked him. It was really too poor there, and the school buildings were very simple and dilapidated, and it was indeed time to repair them.
Since this was the case, Yu Ruizhi began to build public schools there according to high standards. He selected ten counties in Chuanxi according to the ranking of possible earthquakes, and built a public school in every mountainous township in each county, including both middle schools and primary schools, with an investment of over one million in each school.
Yu Ruizhi's standard was sturdiness. He asked the construction party to ensure that even a magnitude ten earthquake would not shake the house down. Even if it collapsed, it couldn't collapse immediately. At least there must be a buffer time, and it couldn't collapse directly, so that the people below would have space to hide and would not be directly hit by the cement prefabricated boards.
Yu Ruizhi built more than eighty public schools in Chuanxi in the first batch, and he also went to Chuanxi several times in person. This was to supervise the construction quality. Since he wanted to do charity, he must do it in place, and all the details must be done to the best, otherwise he would smash his own brand.
These more than eighty public schools cost him nearly one hundred million in funds, but now one hundred million in funds was nothing to him. Not to mention that he had money himself, Hou Wenhai, Hou Wenchang, Chu Zheng, Han Xiang Dong, Xu Xiaoguang, Mi Xiuyuan, Xie Maoqiang, and many of his entrepreneur friends donated money to him every year. The money they donated every year added up to several hundred million, which was completely enough to spend.
Yu Ruizhi did things vigorously. These more than eighty schools were all built last year, and he expanded the scope of his public schools starting last year. In short, his public schools had always been under construction. Now, nearly two hundred public schools had been completed, spread across the mountainous areas of many poor counties in Chuanxi.
In addition to public schools, Yu Ruizhi found that there were many dangerous houses in some mountain villages, so he donated money to help these people repair the dangerous houses, and some even rebuilt them. The rebuilt houses also strictly implemented earthquake-resistant standards.
Of course, he did charity, not for others to enjoy, so the public schools he donated to build this time, including those houses, were only based on sturdiness, and other supporting facilities were not particular. He did this to allow the funds he invested to produce the greatest benefits, which was the marginal effect.
For people in poor mountainous areas, sturdiness was enough. Sturdiness, sheltering from wind and rain, satisfied all their needs. If they wanted to live a good life, it was not enough to rely on charity, but also needed the efforts of local governments and ordinary people.
It was funny to say that many public charity organizations hoped that Yu Ruizhi could donate to them and let them lead the construction of these public primary schools. However, Yu Ruizhi naturally knew too well what kind of virtue these people had. If he gave the money to them, it would be equivalent to throwing it into the water, so Yu Ruizhi refused decisively.
If it were someone else doing charity, these public charity organizations would definitely obstruct them in every way and not let them obtain the qualifications to do charity. In fact, in China, private charity indeed requires very strict qualification reviews, but Yu Ruizhi naturally had no problem. With his background, no one dared to question him.
The most critical thing was that Yu Ruizhi's charity foundation did not publicly raise funds from society. Their funds were all donated spontaneously by entrepreneurs, so those public charity organizations were also helpless about Yu Ruizhi and could only look at the large amount of silver that Yu Ruizhi spent and be greedy.
In fact, the reputation of these public charity organizations had not collapsed yet, and ordinary people still trusted them very much. However, Yu Ruizhi naturally knew them too well. He had been doing charity for so many years and had dealt with these people a lot.
Yu Ruizhi knew that the Hope Primary Schools they built had serious corner-cutting, and the phenomenon of waste by their management personnel was also very common, and the phenomenon of corruption and misappropriation of charity funds was also a common occurrence. Just imagine, how could Yu Ruizhi hand over his money to these people?
It was a small matter that the money was gone, but it was unacceptable to Yu Ruizhi that the money was not used on the people who should be used.
Therefore, Yu Ruizhi would rather hire some professionals to help him manage the charity foundation, and he also invested a lot of energy in the charity foundation. He had already regarded this as his greatest career.
Anyway, Yu Ruizhi's investments were spread across various fields, and they were all pointed out by Su Xinghui. Each of them was a cow that could produce a large amount of cash, and he didn't need to worry about it. Naturally, his partners or subordinates managed it. He just needed to do a good job in charity.
Of course, Yu Ruoqiu had always stood with Yu Ruizhi to do this career. She planned to return to work with Yu Ruizhi to do their charity career specifically after Xiaoxue grew up a little. Such a career gave them a huge sense of accomplishment.
