The Industrial Giant Reborn

Chapter 139 The Essence of Charity

Shen Bi on the other side of the phone said: "Although Chen Sheng has obtained this position, and with Chen Sheng's ability, he is also qualified, but after all, he is too young and his qualifications are too low, so you need to do a good job for the society in the next six months. Make a certain contribution and increase your popularity, so that the Hong Kong government can justifiably choose you as a justice of the peace."

"Contribution? What does Mr. Shen Bi mean in terms of charity?" Chen Zhiwen asked. If employment is counted as contribution, Chen Zhiwen has no shortage at all. Midea and Red Bull each have thousands of employees, and Hutchison has even more. Added up, the number of jobs driven exceeds almost 2. This is already a very large number in Hong Kong with a population of only about 400 million. When it is expanded to the mainland of later generations, it is equivalent to 700 million jobs, which is estimated to be equivalent to Foxconn + 2 The number of employed people driven by Volkswagen + 2 Toyota.

"Yes, charity is the easiest and cheapest way to increase fame. It is easy to operate, and with Chen Sheng's current status, investment in charity is indispensable." Shen Bi said appreciatively.

"Okay, no problem." Chen Zhiwen promised, even if it's not for the so-called Justice of the Peace, some charitable activities should be done. At least many old people, children and truly vulnerable groups should be given some help.

"Okay, as long as Chen Sheng understands what I mean, besides, is Chen Sheng interested in golf?" Shen Bi suddenly asked again.

"Golf?" Chen Zhiwen was stunned for a moment, and said, "I can't do this."

"No, it doesn't matter. Chen Sheng can join the golf club in Hong Kong. There are many people in the golf club. You can get to know them." Shen Bi said with a smile.

"OK, I'll ask tomorrow." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

"Okay." Shen Bi smiled, and hung up the phone after a few pleasantries.

"What's the matter, seeing you smiling so happily?" Wu Xiuling and Chen Tianfu came down from upstairs, and asked Chen Zhiwen who was a little happy.

"It was Shen Bi from HSBC just now, and he told me that next year I will become a Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong." Chen Zhiwen said lightly.

"What? A justice of the peace?" Wu Xiuling immediately cried out happily after hearing this, even Chen Tianfu was also taken aback.

"Calm down, aren't you just a mere justice of the peace? What's the big deal?" Chen Zhiwen said arrogantly.

"Look at you, don't pretend." Wu Xiuling saw her son's hypocrisy at a glance, and said immediately.

"Well, I'm also very happy." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said.

"Justice of the Peace" originated in ancient England, and later spread to many countries and regions around the world with the British colonial history, such as the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, etc., but these countries gradually became independent after independence. marginalized the position, but not Hong Kong.

In vernacular terms, a justice of the peace is a comparison with the later generations of the "National People's Congress" + "civilian discipline inspection committee". The government appoints civilians to maintain community peace, prevent illegal punishment, and handle some relatively simple legal procedures.

In the beginning, the British were basically in charge, but history has proved that relying on the British alone is not a good place to manage, so some Chinese were brought in, which can also be said to be a means of wooing.

It is said that the justices of the peace are "civilian discipline inspection committees" because the early justices of the peace had the right to interfere in the trial. high status.

"I feel that the Hong Kong government is trying to win you over." After listening to Chen Zhiwen's narration, Chen Tianfu said.

"Actually, it's normal. Ah Wen controls Hutchison, and Red Bull is now a major exporter in Hong Kong. They are still so young, so the Hong Kong government is naturally willing to establish a good relationship." Wu Xiuling said a little happily.

"It's possible. In this position, we must have a good relationship with the government." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, after the acquisition of Hutchison, Chen Zhiwen immediately stood under the spotlight, especially the recent Hutchison, which made big moves frequently , attracted a lot of media attention.

"Forget it, don't think too much about it, it's always a good thing, Ah Wen, if you become a justice of the peace, the status of our Chen family will be even more solid." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

"Of course." Chen Zhiwen nodded. In Hong Kong, justices of the peace are still very important. Even if it is an association, if you encounter a justice of the peace, you are not willing to provoke them unless you have to. Because the position of a justice of the peace can be submitted to the government, As long as the police station exerts pressure, as long as the opinions are reasonable and the attention of the media is attracted, it is enough to put a lot of pressure on the government departments.

"What are you going to do about charity?" Chen Tianfu asked.

"Half true, half false." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Neither Chen Tianfu nor Wu Xiuling understood.

"It's true charity. I will spend a sum of money to help some orphans, sick children, students who can't afford to go to school, the elderly who have no one to take care of, people who are seriously ill, etc. It is natural to donate money to government agencies. Such as police stations, libraries, universities, hospitals, etc., or directly build roads and bridges." Chen Zhiwen shrugged.

"You have seen through the essence of charity." Chen Tianfu nodded with a smile and said, "Fake charity may be more important, because it will be recorded in history."

"Unfortunately, real charity is what I want to do." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said.

Those who have not obtained the basic right to life and education are the groups most in need of help in charity, and human charity activities should also give priority to them, but the reality is always the opposite. Large sums of money go to those institutions that do not need funds. Well, these charities cannot be said to be useless, but there are too many tricks in them, which is also a loophole of charity.

The later Bill Gates, known as the world's number one philanthropy, his main philanthropy is to donate computers to a large number of middle schools in the United States, build luxurious teaching buildings, and so on.Of course, there is nothing wrong with helping one's own country, and Chen Zhiwen will do the same. Except for the Chinese, unless it is for commercial needs, in order to obtain greater benefits, otherwise, no matter whether it is black or white, don't even think about getting a piece from him.

"This is how the real world is. You have to abide by some default rules, and then find your own needs." Chen Tianfu walked over, sat on the sofa and said, "But if you really want to do charity, it's actually not difficult. Your men There are so many jobs, you also said that you will recruit people in the future, and working for those who can’t find a job is the greatest charity.”

"That's right, it seems that I have to create some more simple jobs." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
