Chapter Five Hundred and Two Charity Disputes
As May enters, the intermittent rain is getting heavier and heavier. The Yangtze River, Huai River, Han River and other rivers have begun to experience floods of all sizes. The water level of the Yangtze River once rose to its highest point since its founding.
Although the embankments in various places were prepared and no major dam collapse occurred, the dangers in various places have never stopped.
When fighting against the flood in 1998, what was most touching was the flood fighting spirit of the military and civilians at that time, and what was most infuriating was a word invented at that time: "tofu shoddy project".
There are not many things like inferior products as good ones, and even filling weeds in the dam, so the prime minister at that time was furious and scolded the shoddy project.
The tofu project at that time shocked the people of the whole country. Later, the people realized that such "projects" were not uncommon all over the country.
Once a large project is successfully tendered, most of the winning companies will not do it themselves, but will subcontract it layer by layer. After layer by layer, when the construction unit is finally constructed, if it is designed, it may not even be able to guarantee the capital. Some are helpless and inferior to the best, while others want to make more money, so they will do things against their conscience.
However, this year has been the third year of rectification. Whether it is infrastructure construction or large-scale construction, it has been subject to more or less supervision during the bidding process. Even if there are still people who dare to take risks and enjoy their own pockets, there are still much less.
Therefore, the embankment projects along the Yangtze River have generally endured most of the tests.
The rain gradually stopped, and the water level of the Yangtze River slowly dropped. Occasionally, the sun would show its face in the clouds. Although it could not reach the level of clear sky, it always showed some smiles on people's faces - people have become moldy during the rainy days.
However, before the sunny days that everyone is looking forward to come, rainy days come again, and this time it is particularly large and long, causing the Yangtze River water level to soar again!
The Yangtze River defense line is in crisis!
The country has been prepared in this regard, so the People's Liberation Army and Armed Police Force stationed in more than a dozen nearby provinces have been on high alert. After the National Flood Control Headquarters issued a flood control order, it immediately went to the front line of flood control and rescue operations, and began a arduous process.
Although the gap between the rich and the poor in China is getting bigger and bigger, and many people at the bottom really have complained about this and that, when the country encounters such a big natural disaster, all other voices have become smaller.
Along the Yangtze River, many people have spontaneously donated money to the disaster area. Those who are affected by the disaster area will silently clean up their homes, transfer their families, and go up to the embankment to fight the flood, and work hard to rebuild their hopes of rebuilding their homes.
Major domestic enterprises, charities, and official media have also begun to mobilize this huge disaster...
This is the third meeting in the conference room of Changying Group.
The tone of the meeting was decided from the beginning. However, this time was obviously different from the first two times. In the originally calm venue, a smell of gunpowder spread.
"I said this would not have any effect at all!" Ji Feng glared at Lin Dong, "What is the most needed in the disaster area? Food, clean drinking water, medicine, bedding, tents! These things need to be purchased immediately. Mr. Lin, although I admire you, before the disaster broke out, I had raised tens of millions of funds to buy these materials and then sent them to the disaster area, but I don't think what you are talking about now is necessary! This is completely unnecessary work!"
Lin Dong still respects professional charity personnel like Ji Feng, and those who have experienced rich experience in doing charity, including the earthquake in the middle of Sichuan and mudslides in the West Sea, so he has less anger in his words. He patiently explained: "I know that the disaster area needs most is food, drinking water and medicine, but I don't agree that this is the most scarce. Our country's disaster relief system has a complete system. No matter which local civil affairs department will store a large amount of such materials. Once a disaster occurs, it will definitely send the things to the affected people as soon as possible."
This is something everyone can understand. China spans 5,000 kilometers, and it can be said that disasters of all sizes have never been stopped. Civil affairs departments in various places have a complete set of local disaster relief systems. The tents, food, drinking water, medicines, etc., the most lacking thing is actually the main thing that the civil affairs departments accumulate.
Moreover, various regions began to donate money to rescue disasters, and the first ones to the disaster areas were all of this kind.
Therefore, Lin Dong's words are not unreasonable: "I think everyone knows that since the country and other places want to do charity, they have to go to the disaster area to send these materials, then these materials cannot be shortened, nor will they be shortened. If we send them again, it is best to add icing on the cake. Maybe it will affect the transportation of important materials to the disaster area. Think about the rumors in the earthquake in the middle of Sichuan that year, so we can't do this blindly anymore!"
Ji Feng also fell silent for a moment.
Indeed, during the earthquake in the middle of Sichuan, the whole country was working hard here, so the instant noodles sent to the disaster area were too much mineral water, even more so that they could use mineral water to wash their hands and feet in the end... Of course, this is just a rumor.
In fact, if there are hot home-cooked meals, not many people like to eat instant noodles. Many people who have been to school know that eating one or two is OK, but eating too much will only make you feel sick.
So, what Lin Dong said is correct to a certain extent.
After a while, Ji Feng lowered his voice and continued, "But you don't have to send those things, right? How useful is that thing? The disaster area is located in the radiation area of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station in the Yangtze River. As long as there is a rescue team here, how can there be no electricity?"
What Lin Dong wanted to send to the disaster area was urgently renovated through the flower planting battery factory, a batch of emergency flower planting batteries!
After the first meeting, Tan Judong rushed to the headquarters. Lin Dong kept him and Zheng Hong, and then asked them to immediately transform the new flower planting battery according to the information they gave - the new flower planting battery, which will mainly target the household electricity-free population, with the focus on transforming the battery output port to adapt to the electricity consumption of various household appliances.
This is also the source of all the conflicts between Ji Feng and Lin Dong.
In Ji Feng's view, a major disaster is imminent. Instead of spending manpower, material resources and financial resources to carry out research and development, it is better to spend the money directly on disaster relief. Everyone knows that the research and development of technology requires a quantitative accumulation to achieve a qualitative change conversion. Maybe when the technology is done, the flood will have already ended...
