Chapter 269: The Great Flood

After talking for a while, Yang Xing found that the main purpose of Bill asking him to come to his home was to ask Yang Xing to donate money to Bill's fund. As Bill said just now, he had observed Yang Xing for a while. Through various channels, he also knew that Yang Xing had carried out a series of charitable donations in China in the name of Yang's Fund and Liu's Fund in recent years, from the Nine City Poverty Alleviation and Youth Hope Project to the Sunshine Action to Save Children and Women in the Western Region, from the Hong Kong Relief of Poor Citizens to the Recently Rescue of Indonesian Chinese, etc., the donation of these two funds by these two funds was close to US$200 million in just a few years! Judging from Yang Xing's wealth and the rise of Zhongxing International, Yang Xing's investment in charity is even greater than Bill's. It is no wonder that Bill regards him as a fellow man.

Bill felt that Yang Xing was a great philanthropist, especially after reading Yang Xing's graduation thesis, he deeply agreed. This time, taking advantage of Yang Xing and his friends' opportunity to come to the United States, he took the initiative to invite Yang Xing to do charity activities together. Of course, Yang Xing would not be confused by Bill's warm hospitality. He himself wanted Yang and Liu's funds to shine. Moreover, he was tight, so how could he transfer money to Bill easily? However, he suddenly thought that Bill's fund would donate to the Indian Ocean tsunami a few years later and received widespread praise in Asian countries. It happened that the major floods in China are facing now, so why not do the opposite and let Bill donate money for the domestic flood!

Although his company and he have donated 100 million US dollars to the mainland through funds, he still wants to donate more money, but China is not a good person to be a pioneer. He spends too much money at a time to donate domestic floods, which may not necessarily receive praise in China. Perhaps it will attract jealousy and resistance from others.

Now the reputation of Zhongxing International in China has become popular, but the precedent of being criticized by senior officials last time also made Yang Xing understand that sometimes kindness does not necessarily lead to good things, and it is better to develop domestic private enterprises in a low-key manner. Although the focus of the group's business has gradually shifted overseas, the country is still the foundation of the entire group's business. In order to do charity, the foundation has not been shaken, but it is not his original intention. He wants to donate more disaster relief funds and needs to find a larger sign to attract domestic attention. Bill, the world's richest man, is bright like a sun, and it is guaranteed to attract everyone's attention. Yang Xing can secretly go through Chen Cang and act under his light. Moreover, Bill is a foreigner, and there is no such ties, so no amount of donation will cause objection.

His eyes turned to his mind and pulled Bill to the side and said, "Mr. Bill, what you said makes sense. Rich people like us should give back their wealth to society and to the people who need it the most. You see, there is a place that is once a century-old disaster, and my foundation is about to raise funds for it. Look, we two foundations cooperate to establish a special disaster assistance fund. You are responsible for North America and I am responsible for donations in Asia?" Bill was stunned for a moment, and he turned his head and asked me for money! His interest has turned to charity in recent years. He naturally did not investigate the issue of donor conversion when he heard about such an opportunity. But he really couldn't remember where there was a major disaster recently and asked: "Where is it?"

He was startled when he looked up and saw Yang Xing turning from laughter to tears in a blink of an eye. It was faster than the traditional Chinese "face change". Yang Xing took a digital photo frame just launched by Nebula Electronics, which Tan Li gave him to him, and asked him to circulate it to everyone. He saw that the digital photos were flooded, and a large area of ​​land became a water country. Countless people with their families were transferred by the armed police and the army. Their faces were filled with reluctance to leave their homes and fear of the future! Bill's wife Melinda was obviously deeply touched by these photos, and she came to Bill and said with a trembling voice: "I know, this is the current flood in China, it is said to be a major flood that broke out across China. Now our reporters call this flood the 'Century Flood'!"

In addition to the performance, Yang Xing's tears were indeed from the heart. Before coming to Seattle, he had been paying attention to the news about domestic flood control on his Star Dynamic website. Compared with the few and more controlled websites in China, because the main server is in Hong Kong, and with the many news organizations and sufficient financial support of Star Light Entertainment, the reports of Star Dynamic Network have always been regarded as the most timely and authoritative and fair Chinese media information. When broadcasting domestic news, Star Dynamic Network, on the premise of meeting the minimum requirements of the national publicity and review department, timely and ruthlessly broadcasting some negative news in China, paying attention to strategies and unruly broadcasting. Compared with the fact that the flood news is not broadcasting in China, the news about this flood on Star Dynamic Network has been overwhelming, and is relatively timely and true, making everyone feel frightened to watch through the Internet!

From the winter of 1997 to the spring of 1998, the climate in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River showed abnormalities, with frequent heavy rain or heavy rains in the south of the Yangtze River, and abnormal situations such as dry seasons without dry water. The National Meteorological Administration and the National Flood Control and Drought Relief Command (National Flood Control and Relief Headquarters) both warned that there would be a major flood in 1998. This is also the reason why Yang Xing's report was valued by Cheng Canghai but he was not surprised. The rainy weather in the south of the Yangtze River this year directly led to abnormal water levels in major waters in several southern provinces.

Precursor. Since June, due to the influence of subtropical high pressure, heavy rain has been seen in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and severe rainstorms have occurred in some places. From south to north, many water systems on the entire China coastline have issued alarms. The water levels of the Nenjiang River, Songhua River, South China Pearl River, Minjiang River, and especially the Xiangjiang River, Ganjiang River, which are several tributaries of the Yangtze River, are rising. Everyone's eyes are focused on the Yangtze River. The 1954 flood warning was ahead, and the whole of China's heart was hanging.

In July, heavy rains fell across the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and flood control warnings followed one after another. Whether it is public channels or internal news, the flood prevention situation is urgent now. So when Yang Xing heard about Bill’s fundraising, the first thing he thought of was that both parties could jointly donate to the Chinese government and use the force to make Yang Xing’s loan hidden in Bill’s donation. Yang Xing was prepared for the flood, so Wang Yiren and others also carried information about the flood with them. So a grand BBQ quickly turned into an on-site charity donation meeting between Microsoft and Zhongxing International. Even the bald Ballmer was moved to write a check of 50,000 US dollars.

Yang Xing was fortunate to be left to spend the night in Bill's mansion. The two sides quickly reached a special China flood relief fund with a total amount of up to $1 billion. He was moved by Yang Xing's enthusiasm for rescuing the motherland. Bill, who was sympathetic, drove Yang Xing to Microsoft headquarters in person. The photo of them holding their arms and singing quickly appeared on the covers of major financial magazines around the world. The outside world, who was not aware of the inside, speculated whether Microsoft and Zhongxing International had reached any secret agreement.

Although both parties expressed no advice on this, some people found that Microsoft quickly released a patch for Window98, supporting the USB protocol, which enabled Nebula Electronics' MMPⅡ player to quickly sell well with the support of the Window operating system because of its USB interface. Some people speculated from the OEM agreement reached by Microsoft's hardware department and Nebula Electronics that after Hitachi, Nebula Electronics successfully contracted Microsoft and has become a Chinese company specially designed for high-tech enterprises. More careful speculations that Zhongxing will soon launch the global mobile Internet Assistant MIA1 operating system using wifi wireless Internet access will be Microsoft's latest handheld operating system to compete with Palm, the leader in the PDA market today. It is said that Nebula Electronics is still competing with Motorola Nokia and others for the world's first smartphone, and the developed mobile phone operating system is likely to be used.

Many American experts who study consumer electronics have shown that based on various signs, the two sides have established a strategic alliance to use Microsoft's software to help Nebula Electronics' hardware products take off. It seems that there will be one more new generation of consumer electronics companies in Asia. Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and other old brands should be careful! Only Yang Xing was very stumbled when he saw these analysis. These agreements were at most the price of Yang Xing generously investing in a disaster relief fund named Bill. Although Bill is enthusiastic about charity, he is still a businessman in essence. Both of them

Cooperation is a win-win situation, and Microsoft will not do anything that suffers. Unexpectedly, the agreement he visited Bill’s house and the subsequent agreement would cause such a big response, which made those Asian electronic giants alert! The only advantage is that Guo Ying’s goal of improving the company’s image was a great success. The cooperation with Microsoft is more effective than any public relations event. You see, many invitation letters from IT, finance, and trade companies in the United States were delivered to her. If Zhongxing International wants to open up the situation in the United States, Bill will remember a great contribution!

But Yang Xing is going back to China now. July and August are the time when Hong Feng sets records. He stayed in the United States and was in love with the beautiful woman. Yang Xing asked himself that he could not do it. Although he could not go directly to the front line to fight the flood, he had prepared long-term material funds and the huge charity fund of $1 billion this time. He and Bill each paid half of the $1 billion each. Yang Xing never thought of paying all of the $1 billion, and he asked him to ask the rich people in Hong Kong to help him get all of them.

But he is now a big business, and this time he is still responsible for integrating the group's business in North America, and he wants to take root here to open up a new market. Although his subordinates who follow him can stand alone, Yang Xing often plays a spiritual pillar role and cannot be underestimated. He can play a huge role in negotiations with Qualcomm without saying a word. In addition, his magical "predictive" ability after his rebirth can play a huge role at critical moments, so he cannot leave the United States for a while.

Xiang Xingguang Entertainment is discussing plans to jointly develop the Asian market with several major Hollywood producers; Xingmei Fashion is preparing to acquire several American fashion brands and make every effort to enter the low-end makeup and clothing market in the United States; Xinghai Trading is negotiating with the United States DHL Express and FedEx to become a global logistics partner; Xingfu Investment and Mastercard International discuss the possibility of cooperating with the issuance of StarFu Mastercard; Xingwei Resources intends to acquire the latest solar technology of several Silicon Valley companies, which can significantly reduce the production cost of solar panels that account for the highest cost in solar power generation, etc., all of which require him, the big boss, to make a final decision.

He had to hurry up and hold meetings every day and had already arranged this series of urgent tasks. Just as he was flying around the California coast, the "Girls Star Age" toured on the East Coast of the United States was still unstoppable, and sent him a tricky task, asking him to help find a legend in the music industry, and it would be best if their idol could join Starlight Entertainment!
