Chapter 708: More and More Like the CEO

It was only August, and there was still half a month before the Tianyuan Charity Foundation’s first charity show.

In 2020, the charity foundation set a goal of spending 100 million yuan.

He had originally planned to spend 200 million, but the establishment was a little late. There were only four to five months left, less than half a year. Spending 200 million was a little too much.

The other 100 million would be saved for 2021.

Their first charity show chose to help students in poor mountainous areas, which was also the conclusion after research.

To the public opinion, they were more willing to support students rather than help the poor.

After all, the poverty of some people was also related to laziness. Nowadays, society had a certain aversion to poverty relief without a bottom line. They felt that this was cultivating people who were just waiting for death.

It’s different if you’re a student.

Even if you were born in a poor place, as long as you had the conditions to study and could study well, you could leave that place and create a future with your own hands.

---The possibility of getting rich suddenly is very small, but for those people in poor mountainous areas, having a stable job is already considered rich.

He could not change his environment, but if he studied, even if it was only junior high school, he would at least have the ability to get rid of that environment.

Helping students in poor mountainous areas was to help the children there walk out of the mountains and usher in a new life.

For this society, it was obviously more efficient to use the same amount of money to aid students than to help the poor.

Before the Tianyuan Charity Foundation was approved, the team was already studying how to make the first show. During this period of time, they had already made plans and contacted those who needed to.

He contacted a prefectural-level city in the southwest region. The Tian Yuan Corporation had invested in a juice factory there. The address was in the suburbs where the traffic was relatively convenient.

The students they wanted to help were the poor villages and towns in the mountains below the prefecture-level city.

They had two things to do this time.

The first thing was to bring teaching materials to the children in those places. Everyone had a set of current teaching materials and two sets of school uniforms. He had also donated a library to many primary and junior high schools in that area, so that every school had a small library so that the children there could read more books.

This actually didn’t cost much.

The Tian Yuan Corporation also had a clothing factory that was fully invested in school uniforms. It did not cost much to produce them themselves.

The other thing required more money--to build a new school for each of the selected towns in the mountains, from primary school to junior high school.

Liu Qing had seen the photos sent by the employees of the subordinate companies. The schools in those places were basically dilapidated. No one could guarantee that there would be no accidents in such places.

Some of them did not even have dilapidated buildings. They had long collapsed. The school was directly opened in the village chief’s house.

They didn’t have the money to build a modern school, but at least they had to let the students have a safe place to attend classes and a place to exercise after school.

To build such a school, even if the land was free and the local government had promised to provide a certain amount of support in terms of labor and materials, it would still cost millions to build.

A few schools would need 20 to 30 million in the beginning.

However, this was the first charity show of the Tianyuan Charity Foundation. Spending tens of millions was still worth it.

In any case, charity was about spending money. Public opinion was more concerned about how much money was spent. It was better to spend it on something meaningful.

The Tianyuan Charity Foundation would build a few schools, but he would not have the right to use them. After building them, he would have to donate them to the local area for the teachers and students to use.

What he could obtain was the naming rights of Tianyuan School.

With such a naming right, as long as the school still existed, the charity of the Tian Yuan Corporation would not be forgotten.

Of course, the construction of the school was handled by professionals.

As the representatives of the charity fund, Ye Mo and Mo Xiaodie had to give books and stationery to the children, give them uniforms, and give them some gifts.

In the process of doing these things, they could take some photos and record videos to record that they had really done such things. Then, they would be done.

The local media would follow up and report on the news.

A donation of tens of millions had to be recorded there. They had also promised that they would use the provincial media to follow up and report it to the higher authorities.

As for whether the higher-ups would report it, that was not something they could decide.

It looked easy, but considering the local traffic conditions, it was actually a very difficult thing.

Liu Qing had originally planned to show his face at such a charity event, but after learning about the local traffic environment, he dismissed the idea.

It was fine to go there at other times, but he was not that great to go there during the hottest time of the year.

He decided to show his face after the construction of those Tianyuan schools was completed. It would be more appropriate to cut the ribbon or something.

This was only the Tianyuan Charity Foundation’s first charity event.

The follow-up would continue.

What kind of charity activities he would do in the future and how much effort he would put in would depend on the reaction of the charity premiere.

If the response from society was good, then he would continue to do it. He would continue to do the student aid thing.
