Guo Taiming is even more stingy than Grandet in his treatment of workers and business costs...
But he has another advantage, that is, he is absolutely unambiguous when it comes to using money.
For example, in order to satisfy Xiao Qi's care for workers, he gritted his teeth and raised the wages of workers at the Red Sea Factory in Chengdu. He would also purchase the best assembly factory lines as soon as possible to satisfy Xiao Qi's production increase requirements.
And now.
On May 12th, Guo Taiming happened to return to Baodao to handle business, and unexpectedly heard about the May 12 earthquake.
How else would Guo Taiming be able to become the richest man in Baodao for many years in a row? He immediately donated 1 billion yuan to the account of Fairy Company, and entrusted Fairy Company to help purchase supplies and rescue disaster areas.
Then, he immediately took a group of his men and flew directly from Baodao to Chengdu. He arrived in Chengdu in the evening. While announcing the shutdown of the factory, he also called on all workers to go to the disaster areas closest to Chengdu to help remove bricks.
tiles, cleaning roads, moving equipment, etc.
Not to mention, the 500,000 workers working in the Red Sea Factory No. 1 and the Red Sea Factory No. 2 are all young and strong men, most of whom are from Shuchuan. Seeing the severe disaster in their hometown, they gathered together without saying a word.
Under the leadership of a group of middle-level cadres, they drove to the nearby disaster area in a mighty manner, obeying the instructions of the government and military leaders who were commanding there, and acting as a new force.
The people who stayed behind were not idle either. They entered the cafeteria of the Red Sea Factory one after another and helped make various kinds of food, which were sent to the disaster area one by one.
During earthquake relief operations, the government and the military generally do not want civilians to go there, especially those without professional training. Although they have good intentions, but after they go there because they have no experience and lack of ability, they end up doing the earthquake relief work.
An obstacle.
Even in the previous life, some hooligans from Yuanyin City, under the slogan of earthquake relief, went to the disaster area instead of providing relief. Instead, they spent all day groping around in the ruins. When they were captured, it was discovered that they were looking for
Gold and silver jewelry, now the people of Yuanyin City have lost face.
However, workers who are organized and disciplined are very welcome, because they have certain coordination skills, know how to work in a team, and are a strong workforce, most suitable for doing some intensive labor operations.
Therefore, after this group of workers arrived at the disaster area late at night, they were immediately assigned to various collapsed buildings and followed orders to begin intense rescue operations.
Including those from the Fairy Factory, the Doyin Red Sea Factory, and the Hyundai Sonata Factory, the total labor force exceeds 800,000!
Different from the previous life, there were not so many people available in the major disaster areas, at least not at the first time. It was only two or three days later that soldiers from the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police arrived from all over the country.
Go up.
There is no way.
In the previous life, the road traffic was severely blocked. The first batch of armed police soldiers who entered threw away all their equipment. They braved the dangers of landslides, mudslides, broken bridges, and aftershocks and house collapses, and rushed in on foot. Several people ran in
It took only hours to rush to the front line of the disaster area.
Not to mention other soldiers who need to transport equipment, it is already a miracle to be able to go in in large quantities in two or three days.
This is our People's Liberation Army soldier!
The soldiers at the bottom have never let the people down. This is what Xiao Qi feels is the biggest solid foundation since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In this life, not only are the roads not as damaged and blocked as in the previous life, but the most important thing is that almost all of the disaster areas have a group of People's Liberation Army soldiers stationed there with equipment and supplies.
What makes the country's top officials extremely regretful is that because they did not know the specific situation of the earthquake, they only moved in one night in advance. Each place only had a group of more than 2,000 people.
If we had been given one more day, another group would have been stationed tonight, and we would have had more room for maneuver in terms of earthquake relief efforts.
There are more young soldiers working hard in the areas most severely affected by the earthquake, and there are 800,000 more young and strong laborers coming to help. This is not all.
What makes Yu Chengsheng and other high-level officials of the country feel most grateful is that the more than 50,000 workers on the construction sites in Daoyin City who had just rescued the heavy snow disaster two months ago can be used again this time.
Not only do they have experience in treating large-scale disasters, but their organizational and coordination abilities have been adjusted very well after the heavy snow disaster, and they can basically be used as half soldiers.
And the most important point is that on this construction site where more than 50,000 people work, because factories need to be built, excavators, earth drills, large tower cranes, various transport vehicles, prefabricated houses, reinforced concrete, etc. are all available.
These are all things that can come in handy during earthquake relief!
Therefore, as the commander-in-chief, Yu Chengsheng contacted Xiao Xu as soon as possible, but Xiao Xu said that he was already on his way to the construction site and prepared to divide into more than a dozen teams to rush to the most severely affected areas.
Through the efforts of Xiao Qi and Xiao Xu, the losses of districts, counties and towns in Daoyin City were only one-tenth compared to the previous life, which can be said to be an immeasurable merit.
However, several neighboring counties and cities still suffered a great degree of disaster, especially the hardest-hit areas such as Ze County, Lei County, Qinchuan County, Beichuan County, etc. The number of casualties was still high. It is said that the number of casualties was high after the earthquake.
As soon as we made contact, we found that there were at least tens of thousands of casualties, and this number was still rising rapidly.
Because Xiao Xu's work scope was nearby, Yu Chengsheng made a decision immediately. Before he rushed to Shuchuan, Xiao Xu, as the deputy leader of the Central Earthquake Relief Working Group, was on-site to coordinate and arrange matters in the hardest-hit areas.
All relevant matters can be reported to Xiao Xu and he will make a quick decision.
Good guy!
The leader of the working group is Yu Chengsheng, and the deputy leader should be a senior official at the provincial or ministerial level, let alone an on-site commander.
Xiao Xu is just a department-level cadre, but now he has become an on-site commander. It is obvious that his promotion is just around the corner!
But at this time, Xiao Xu didn't think much at all. After communicating with Wen Anping and reporting, he started his busy work.
And he asked Wang Minsheng to call Xiao Qi from time to time, asking for only one thing: supplies! Supplies! Supplies!! Get all the supplies that can be used as soon as possible, the sooner the better!
From Xiao Xu's point of view, it was a common practice for Guo Taiming to help others, but it was natural for Xiao Qi to help others.
Let’s ignore this matter for now.
Of course, Xiao Qi's friend is not just Guo Dong from Baodao. A group of friends from Hong Kong have already responded. Japan and South Korea have also expressed their opinions on how much money and materials they have. But as long as they have this intention, it is already very important.
It's a huge favor.
In the previous life, Asian countries were the countries that donated the most to us after the Zichuan earthquake. Europe and the United States have always been somewhat hostile to China. Although there were donations, the amount was not as high as a major flood or other disaster in their countries.
.
But this life is different. Xiao Qi has many friends in Europe and the United States.
Richardson, the British crazy rich man and chairman of the Virgin Group, issued an emergency order to his employees half an hour after the earthquake, that is, at midnight London time, to purchase drugs worth 100 million pounds across Europe.
Ship it to Sichuan Province as quickly as possible to help your friend's hometown.
His counterpart is Ellison, the crazy rich man in the United States and the chairman of Oracle. He donated 100 million US dollars, which was transferred to the account of Fairy Company, and he entrusted Xiao Qi to purchase supplies nearby to help more people.
Two shareholders of DreamPad, Green Pine Capital, donated 30 million US dollars, and lvmh also donated 30 million US dollars. Even several senior executives of Citibank, who have close cooperation with Xiao Qi, also donated a total of 5 million US dollars.
.
Only Gang Leader Qiao, who was recognized as Xiao Qi's best friend and a genius like Xiao Qi, remained silent at first until eight hours later, that is, in the morning of Western United States time, this eternal American idol,
Only then did Apple announce through Apple that it would donate 1 million US dollars to the victims of the Sichuan disaster.
All right.
As soon as the news came out, all Americans were shocked.
It’s not because Gang Leader Qiao is as stingy as Grandet, but on the contrary, they are surprised that Gang Leader Qiao actually donated money!?
You know, Gang Leader Qiao is famous for not loving charity, and he is not involved in any donations. His most famous saying is "I bring wonderful products to society, and doing my job well is the best."
of charity”.
For this reason, he was scolded by many people as Grandet, but the rebellious old boy still went his own way.
However, this time, Xiao Qi's hometown suffered a huge earthquake disaster, and Gang Leader Qiao made an uncharacteristic donation. Although it was only a small amount of 1 million US dollars, the meaning was different!
It seems that Gang Leader Qiao is really a good friend of Xiao Qi, and he values his friendship with Xiao Qi very much!
Americans put this matter above friendship, and only Xiao Qi knew that Gang Leader Qiao did this mostly because he lent him 5 billion US dollars without any mortgage.
Precisely because this was a huge favor, at this time, no matter how much Gang Leader Qiao didn't want to donate, it was probably because of the persuasion of his family that he pinched his nose and donated 1 million.
If it were not Xiao Qi's hometown, and if this time was missed, Gang Leader Qiao would not donate it no matter what next time.
What makes Xiao Qi a little puzzled is that Gang Leader Qiao is still a very devout Buddhist, but looking at his daily behavior, it is really very different!! (To be continued...)
