After returning to Shu City, Li Dong's heavy mood was relieved a lot.
After entering the hotel to wash up, Lan Xingguo came to find him.
This old man in his early fifties was very tired at the moment.
From the moment the earthquake happened, he personally went to the front line and mobilized all the forces of Sichuan Airlines to transport the stranded victims.
He just wanted to tell Li Dong that Sichuan Airlines had suffered a loss this time, a huge loss.
When the disaster happened, he made his own decision and canceled all the flights without the consent of the board of directors. He only kept the direct flights to the capital and Shanghai.
He announced to the world that Shu City was safe and sound!
After that, he urgently modified a large number of ambulance planes to transport seriously injured people to other provinces for treatment.
In just a few days, Sichuan Airlines lost tens of millions.
Sichuan Airlines was not Far away, nor was it his company. This was a joint venture between several companies and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Sichuan Province.
Lan Xingguo made the decision without the consent of the board of directors, causing Sichuan Airlines to lose tens of millions. Lan Xingguo must give Li Dong an explanation.
As soon as he entered the door, Lan Xingguo said with a hoarse voice: "Brother Li, this time Sichuan Airlines is my idea, I will bear all the losses! I will find a way to make up for the loss. Also, when this matter is over, I will submit my resignation letter … "
Li Dong looked at him deeply and asked him to sit down. Then he chuckled and said: "What? Does Brother Lan think that I, Li Dong, am so unreasonable?"
Lan Xingguo shook his head and said: "It's not like that. This time I really overstepped my authority. Things have happened, someone has to take responsibility. It's my idea, there's no reason for you to suffer losses. "
Li Dong said with a wry smile: "Okay, Brother Lan, don't say anymore. You did the right thing. At that time, you didn't have time to discuss with us. If I really want to hold you responsible, outsiders don't need to drown me, Li Dong, with their saliva. If you really feel guilty, you can help us earn it back in the future. This time Sichuan Airlines did a good job. It has my style, Li Dong. This time, we two brothers have the same opinion! "
Lan Xingguo grinned. Then, the smile on his face disappeared as he sighed, "It's really tragic this time. Dongzi, Sichuan really suffered a great loss this time."
Li Dong said solemnly, "As long as people are alive, there is hope! The pain was temporary, and he had to look forward. Our top priority right now is rescue and reconstruction. We can't make up for the dead, but we have to make sure that the living live a better life. "
Lan Xingguo rubbed his face and nodded, "Indeed, pain can't solve the problem. Dongzi, I have something to discuss with you. The post-disaster reconstruction will require a lot of funds. Now, the Sichuan government is collecting donations. I want to donate more to Sichuan Airlines. What do you say? "
"How much?"
"10 million!"
Lan Xingguo glanced at Li Dong with a heavy expression.
Even though 10 million didn't sound like a lot, and even though Li Dong was worth hundreds of millions, that was Li Dong.
For a company, 10 million was not a small amount.
At least for now, there were no more than five companies in Sichuan that had donated more than 10 million.
Although the assets of Sichuan Airlines was more than 10 billion, it was not considered too strong for an airline company.
Lan Xingguo was afraid that Li Dong would not agree to donate 10 million.
But soon, Lan Xingguo heard Li Dong said, "10 million is not a problem. If you can convince the others, I can accept any more."
"That's enough. Dongzi, thank you!"
"Brother Lan, you don't have to be so polite with me. Besides, this money is not for you, right?" Li Dong joked.
Lan Xingguo also smiled, then stood up and said, "Then I won't say much. I have a lot of things to do at the airport. I have to hurry back."
"Brother Lan, take care of yourself."
"I know. I'm still strong."
…
As soon as Lan Xingguo left, Yuan Chengdao called.
First, he asked about Li Dong's situation. After learning that Li Dong had returned to Sichuan, Yuan Chengdao could not help but sigh in relief.
Then, Yuan Chengdao said, "General Manager Li, when are you going back to Jiangbei?"
"I probably have to wait for a few more days. At least until the next batch of supplies arrives before I can leave. What's wrong?"
"It's like this. I just received a notice from the province. On the 18th, the Central Publicity Department, the Foreign Publicity Office, the General Administration of Press and Publication … Several units will jointly hold a large-scale fundraising party. The party will be broadcasted live on several major channels of CCTV. The province asked us if we are going Far away. After all, we are the leading private enterprise in Jiangbei. If we don't go, it will not look good in Jiangbei. Also, this is a live broadcast, so I think we should go too. What do you think? "
After hearing Yuan Chengdao's words, Li Dong remembered this matter.
In terms of fame, Jia Duobao was the most famous person at this disaster relief banquet.
However, Li Dong did not care much about this.
In terms of fame, Far away was enough.
Especially this time, there were countless people living in the 99 schools. There was really not much need to be in the limelight at this time.
After thinking about it, Li Dong said, "It's up to you whether you want to go or not. We don't have to use the live broadcast to become famous."
"That's true. If we really go, we won't be able to take out a few million."
"A few million?"
Li Dong was stunned for a moment and said, "You are going to donate a few million?"
Yuan Chengdao roughly knew what Li Dong meant. After all, Li Dong had always been generous when it came to charity.
However, he knew that Li Dong must have misunderstood, so he explained, "General Manager Li, this party is different. The money donated will not go to our foundation, but to the Red Cross and other organizations.
It is within the scope of on-site fundraising. We have our own foundation, so there is no need to donate too much to them.
You also know what kind of people these organizations are.
Now that we are in the disaster period, they dare not have any ideas, but it is hard to say after this.
If we really want to do charity, we can do it ourselves.
Moreover, you took out hundreds of millions of supplies in the first episode. Now, the second batch will probably not be less than 50 million. We can take out no less than others.
Even in the country, there are not many organizations that can surpass us.
But when it comes to the party, they do not count it that way. They only count the on-site fundraising funds, which means that this money will be directly wiped out by them.
That is why I said that we should donate a few million. What do you think? "
"Is that so?"
Li Dong really did not know about this. When he heard it, he frowned slightly and said, "Then we won't go. We can do it ourselves."
Yuan Chengdao sighed softly and said, "I am afraid that if I don't go, I will be misunderstood."
"Don't care about them. We don't have to be afraid of them. Doing charity is my own business. I will do it if I want to. There is no need to do something I do not want to do for them."
"Alright then, I will decline?"
"Yes, that's it. Call me if you need anything."
…
Li Dong did not care much about the party.
In his opinion, there was not much need to use this opportunity to make a name for himself.
But Li Dong forgot one thing. So far away had not donated a single cent since the earthquake.
Ordinary people did not know that he had taken out supplies to help Sichuan. Those who knew did not publicize it.
Everyone was busy now and did not have the time to publicize So far away.
So far away, because Li Dong did not say anything, Yuan Chengdao and the others did not know whether they should publicize it or not.
And because of this unequal information, it caused a lot of misunderstanding in the outside world.
On May 12th, the day of the earthquake, Vanke donated two million.
When this news came out, Wang Shi and Vanke were immediately attacked by the netizens. The Internet cursed Wang Shi badly.
As the number one real estate company in the country, you have the cheek to donate two million?
When Wang Shi's 10-yuan theory was dug up, he became the target of criticism.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Shi had become the target of everyone's scorn.
Vanke's share price fell again and again. When Li Dong returned to Shu Du City from Mianyang, Vanke's share price had fallen by almost half.
At this time, Li Dong still did not pay much attention.
It was not until So far away had refused to attend the fundraising party that the netizens suddenly changed the target of criticism.
A "Cheapskate Ranking List" was released. So far away was ranked first!
0 RMB!
That's right, 0 RMB!
So far away had not donated a single cent since the earthquake. They were even more stingy than Vanke.
The target of criticism instantly changed from Vanke to So far away.
…
On May 15th, Yuan Chengdao called again.
Yuan Chengdao wanted to cry but had no tears. He said helplessly: "General Manager Li, look at this. We are doing a thankless job! General Manager Li, do you think we should disclose the donation to the public? If this goes on, our reputation will be tarnished. "
At this moment, Li Dong was also infuriated by this matter.
He did not expect this to happen. At first, Li Dong did not want to use this opportunity to promote himself. He felt that it was enough.
This time, he had left a deep impression on the higher-ups and the people in Sichuan. If he continued to promote himself, it would be awkward.
But who knew that keeping a low profile also has its disadvantages.
If he does not keep a high profile, others will not know about this. So far away's reputation will be tarnished.
At this moment, Li Dong understood what it meant to deceive oneself and others.
He felt that there was no need to tell the public about this. As long as he could live with his conscience, it was fine.
But in fact, this was not the case. The eyes of the public were not sharp. They could only see the surface and could not see anything deeper.
You think you are eating human's blood and feel embarrassed, but others will think you are stingy and are even prepared to boycott your company.
At this moment, Li Dong felt that he could not go on like this.
If he really continued, although So far away was not listed, it would still be boycotted. Wouldn't that be following in the footsteps of Carrefour?
Just as Li Dong was about to disclose the news to the public, a super bomb knocked everyone out!
On the night of the 15th, Faraway Group appeared on CCTV news!
The No. 2 Chief, who had been commanding the rescue work on the front line, said in an interview, "When one side is in trouble, help comes from all sides. This time, the people of Wenshan are in trouble, and the people of the whole country are contributing. The enterprises led by Faraway Group have embodied the style of contemporary national enterprises in this rescue, and they have picked up the backbone of the nation … "
It was just a few simple words, but it set off countless waves.
The backbone of the nation?
This position was too high. It was so high that everyone could not believe that the Chief would use this word to evaluate a company.
At this time, the netizens felt as if they had missed something.
Soon, the news that Faraway Group transported hundreds of millions of supplies on the 13th spread.
Soon, the news that the 99 schools donated by Faraway Group were still standing, and the news of tens of thousands of students were saved spread.
For a time, the crusade against So far away quickly turned into praise and praise.
…
When the news came out, Li Dong did not watch the news.
He was eating with Liu Minghua.
Liu Minghua had just returned from the front line. He was really tired and hungry.
When he ate, he was not polite and ate like a tornado.
After eating, when he felt that he was almost done, Liu Minghua wiped his mouth and exhaled. "Still having a headache about the matter on the Internet?"
Li Dong smiled bitterly and said, "A little. I didn't expect it to be like this this time. So far away will become a target."
Liu Minghua smiled and said softly, "Don't worry too much. Sometimes, you will be rewarded. The people of Sichuan will not forget So far away, and so will we. The matter should be almost over now. Don't let down the Chief's trust. "
Li Dong did not quite understand what he meant. He had not announced the news to the public yet. He was planning to do it tomorrow.
Seeing Li Dong's doubt, Liu Minghua did not say much. He only sighed and said, "This time, So far away is indeed a great contribution. You don't know how many people have been saved by the 12 schools in Wenshan.
For the past two days, the rescue team has gone deep into Wenshan to carry out rescue. The 12 old campuses have all collapsed!
When we heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Everyone was covered in cold sweat until the rescue team reported again that the new campus next to them had not collapsed. At that time, the entire headquarters was cheering.
6,856 students, that's the students of the 12 schools.
Just based on this, the people of Sichuan will not let others slander So far away. I won't either. No one will!
So far away was attacked. We didn't know at first. When we found out, the Chief decided to give you a big gift. "
Li Dong's mouth was wide open. He did not know what this big gift was.
However, Liu Minghua kept him in suspense. He said with a smile, "You'll know when you get back. Alright, let's not talk about this first. I thank you on behalf of the people of Sichuan! "
Liu Minghua stood up solemnly and bowed to Li Dong.
Li Dong jumped in fright. He hurriedly dodged and almost fell.
Seeing this, Liu Minghua said, "What are you panicking for? This is what you deserve. In short, I came to see you this time to thank you sincerely and sincerely.
No matter what you think, no one will forget your contributions.
That's all for now. Also, I have something to tell you this time.
Although the rescue in Wenshan has not ended, a large number of people affected by the disaster are still homeless. We can't let these compatriots suffer anymore.
Li Dong, your Faraway Group has given us a huge shock this time.
Not a single one of the 99 school buildings has collapsed. This is a miracle!
Go back and prepare well. Sichuan welcomes you. All the people affected by the disaster also look forward to you continuing to bring hope to life … "
Although Liu Minghua did not say it too clearly, how could Li Dong not understand what he meant?
This was to prepare for post-disaster reconstruction. Far away would definitely be the first real estate company to enter the post-disaster reconstruction.
The construction of one or even several new cities was a huge benefit!
However, Li Dong quickly shook his head and said, "Secretary Liu, forget about this. When I donated the school buildings, I really didn't think about this. Far away's current strength is seriously insufficient. I can't shoulder such a heavy burden. If it was a normal development of a new city, I would at least have a piece of the pie. But this is the City of Life, the City of Hope. This burden is too heavy. I don't dare to take it, and I can't take it. "
Liu Minghua looked at him deeply. He did not believe that Li Dong did not understand the benefits.
Far away could be said to have an innate advantage.
As long as Far away asked, not to mention taking on the entire project, a project worth tens of billions was still possible.
The profit could be as high as tens of billions in the end. If it were someone else, they might have already agreed.
He did not expect Li Dong to actually refuse. This was somewhat beyond Liu Minghua's expectations.
This was a big gift that he, Sichuan, and even the Bureau Chief sent together. A few words on the news was only a part of the gift.
He did not expect that in the end, this big gift was not sent out.
Liu Minghua felt that he could get to know this little guy again.
Li Dong refused. Liu Minghua did not say anything more about this. He just said earnestly, "No matter what, a merit is a merit. The country will not mistreat anyone or enterprise! It is enough for you to remember this. I still have to go to Dujiang, so I won't say much this time. When you come to Sichuan again, we can have a good chat. "
Li Dong quickly got up and sent Liu Minghua out of the restaurant. Liu Minghua's car quickly left. He came back this time only for Li Dong.
