Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 572 Huge Donation
After Huaihua finished speaking, she still looked at Weidong with a guilty conscience, for fear that Weidong would be unhappy.

Wei Dong said with a smile: "No matter how bad your brother and sister Qin were to me back then, I took it away. One is my brother-in-law and the other is my mother-in-law. I won't be angry with them anymore."

"Besides, how boring it is for us to care about the past with such a big family business."

No matter how bad the previous relationship was, Weidong came back with revenge back then, and he slept with Xiaodang and Huaihua again. If he went back and still had trouble with Qin Huairu, what would happen to Xiaodang and Huaihua who were caught in the middle? where?

Wei Dong had made up his mind a long time ago, as long as Xu Damao and Qin Huairu didn't make trouble, he wouldn't trouble his mother-in-law, and other things would be discussed at that time.

Weidong was making preparations step by step. In the blink of an eye, at the end of July, all the procedures were completed, and he could return to the courtyard when he took off from Xiangjiang on August [-]th.

On the morning of the 28th, the company's affairs were arranged normally, and Ruan Tao took him out to several warehouses and released a large amount of supplies, so that Weidong would not go to the capital to delay the company's operation.

After receiving crude oil from Lantau Island and returning to the company, I saw Sophora wiping tears outside the office, and asked in surprise, "Sophora, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Huaihua Lihua said rainingly: "Just now the broadcast said that there was a big earthquake near the capital city. Many houses collapsed and many people died. I was scared to death. I don't know how the courtyard house is."

"What? Tangshan earthquake is this time?"

Weidong has long forgotten about this matter. After all, there is no time in the TV series. He forgets about this kind of thing every day. He doesn’t know the exact time. , Saying such a thing, no one will believe it, it will only be counterproductive.

Sophora froze for a moment and said in a daze, "Did I just say that there was a big earthquake in Tangshan?"

Wei Dong also felt that he had slipped his tongue, that he was really the Tangshan Earthquake, but this was the information from some news organizations in the capital, and the first-hand information did not know the specific details of the location at all.

Wei Dong just said: "I have my information channel, so don't talk nonsense, go and find Ruan Tao for me."

After waiting for a few minutes, Ruan Tao came over and said directly, "Do you want me to cancel the visit?"

It is now the 28th, and Weidong's time is the 5th. There is only a short week, and Ruan Tao thought that Weidong was going to cancel the trip.

Wei Dongdao: "Why should I cancel? You can contact the people in the capital and ask if there is any need for help, whether it is medicine and other first aid supplies, stretcher emergency miner's lamp, flashlight tent, etc. We can provide as much as they need, there is no limit to the number , there is no limit to the total price, as long as they want us to provide."

"It really should be like this. If one party is in trouble, all parties will support it, and let the capital see our sincerity."

Wei Dong asked: "Both of our planes are in Hong Kong, right?"

"Yes, both are here."

"The one that can be dismantled is dismantled, and temporarily changed to a cargo plane. You ask Ah Zhen to contact the donation, and then go to the warehouse and I will copy the medical supplies."

Disaster relief can’t wait, Weidong needs to race against time to send the supplies to the capital, first tell Ah Zhen to contact her, Weidong and Ruan Tao set off to cross the sea again, and copied a large number of disaster relief items in the warehouse of Huangpu Wharf Company, It was already afternoon when I returned to the company.

While eating a boxed lunch and waiting for news from Ah Zhen, before the meal was finished, Ah Zhen hurried over and said, "Ah Wei, they said they will not accept donations from overseas personnel for the time being."

"What? How could this be?"

Wei Dong asked in disbelief.

Panting, Ah Zhen took the teacup from Ruan Tao, drank the water, and almost choked. Ruan Tao stretched out her hand and patted her back. Contact, saying that there are instructions from above, the capital can rely on itself to overcome this difficulty, and temporarily do not accept donations from international social organizations and overseas Chinese."

Ruan Tao and Wei Dong were dumbfounded. How could this happen? As long as there is a major disaster, various organizations in the international community will lend a helping hand.

Ruan Tao asked: "Ah Wei, what should we do?"

Wei Dong thought for a while and said, "Please contact me with the president of the Xiangjiang Branch of the Flower Planter, and I will visit right away."

"Is it useful for you to persuade? The above has already determined it." A Zhen asked.

Wei Dongdao: "My situation is special, which is different from what they said."

"What's the difference?"

Wei Dong said: "I'd better go there and see if I can succeed."

Ruan Tao also knew Wei Dong's magic. If he disagreed, maybe Wei Dong would sneak back by himself and persuaded: "We'll discuss something later, so don't sneak away."

"No, I have a way."

If there is no agreement to go to the Xiangjiang branch of the Flower Planter, Weidong will go there on the 5th as originally planned, and he will be accompanied by a plane of medicine. After landing, can he not accept Weidong's donation?
This is just a backup plan. Right now, I still have to go to the Xiangjiang branch to discuss it.

At this time, the capital still had some branches in Xiangjiang, but they were relatively low-key, unobtrusive, and most people didn't know about them.

Wei Dong's motorcade soon arrived at the newspaper office. Although Wei Dong knew the address, it was the first time he came here, and he was about to receive news from Ruan Tao. A middle-aged man wearing square glasses came to Wei Dong to pull He opened the door, waited for Wei Dong to get out of the car and said:
"Mr. Yi, hello, I'm Li Shengju, assistant to President Liang Weisen, and welcome to the Xiangjiang Branch of Flower Planter."

Wei Dong shook hands with Li Shengju with a smile and said, "I've wanted to visit President Liang for a long time, but I haven't taken the time. Now I finally have the chance. I hope today will have a good result."

"This way, Mr. Yi, please."

This is not a place to talk, any time the Chinese contact people from the newspaper office, the authorities will pay attention to it. Before Weidong resisted to come, the only way to reflect this wish is now.

After entering the elevator inside the newspaper office, Li Shengju said, "Mr. Yi, you shouldn't be here!"

"I can wait for a few days, but Tangshan can't wait anymore. The day lily will be cold in another week."

"Sigh." Li Shengju didn't know what to say, he knew Wei Dong's identity well, and he personally compiled a lot of materials for President Liang to review.

I don't know if Yi Weidong will be suppressed by the Xiangjiang authorities when he comes this time. Either he didn't think about contacting him in advance, or he was afraid that Yi Weidong would cause unnecessary trouble, so he kept pressing it and didn't contact him prematurely.

The Huo family is a living example. Up to now, it is still difficult to do business in Xiangjiang.

Li Shengju brought Yi Weidong into a reception room, and introduced him, "This is our branch manager, Mr. Liang Weisen."

They introduced Yi Weidong again, and the three of them sat down after exchanging pleasantries. President Liang also said directly: "Mr. Yi, it's a bit reckless for you to come directly this time. I'm afraid the Xiangjiang authorities will be against you."

"Now I can't wait anymore, I will take care of it from the authorities."

President Liang said: "I know your reason for coming, but there have been instructions from above. The capital has the ability to overcome this difficulty and will not accept donations from international organizations and overseas Chinese. So I can't help you."

After receiving Ruan Tao's call, President Liang knew Yi Weidongli's intentions, but there were the latest instructions, so he had to implement them seriously.

Wei Dong nodded and said: "I understand the choice of the capital, I don't want to make comments if I want to be self-reliant."

"Thank you Mr. Yi for your understanding."

Wei Dong asked: "Excuse me, am I an international organization?"

President Liang froze for a moment, not understanding Wei Dong's meaning, but said, "Of course Mr. Yi doesn't count."

Wei Dong then asked: "Then am I an overseas Chinese or overseas Chinese?"

Now President Liang hesitated. Yi Wei has an ID card from Xiangjiang, but he also knows Yi Wei’s origin. He swam here in 68, and he returned to the courtyard many times in the middle, leaving his relatives in the capital except his sister-in-law. , the rest of the relatives took over, and no one thought that in just a few years, relying on a variety of inventions to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong business community, this has developed into a large consortium worth tens of billions of dollars.

Many people say that Yi Wei is already the richest man in the Chinese people, even if he can have a place on the global rich list.

It stands to reason that Yi Wei can barely be counted as overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese.

Hesitatingly said: "It should be counted."

Weidong laughed and said, "If you say that Yi Wei is an overseas Chinese, I won't dispute it. I'll just say a little bit. Does Yi Weidong count? This is an out-and-out resident of the Beijing courtyard."

As he spoke, he took out his residence registration page in the courtyard house, with the seal of Nanluoguxiang Street on it, put it on the coffee table and pushed it to President Liang.

President Liang was confused by Wei Dong, and asked, "Mr. Yi, what do you mean?"

Wei Dong did not answer and asked, "May I ask if there are any people in China who spontaneously donate money and materials to the disaster area?"

Although there was an earthquake today, no specific information has been received yet, but people from all over the country must have donated money and materials, and you don't need to think about it.

"There should be!"

"Okay." Wei Dong continued: "On behalf of an ordinary resident of a courtyard house in the street below Nanluoguxiang in the East District, I can contribute my meager contribution to the disaster area, isn't it okay?"

President Liang was taken in by Wei Dong, and he took out his identity certificate in the courtyard. President Liang can't say that this account is fake.

The main reason is that Weidong's status in Xiangjiang is too high, sitting on a large consortium worth tens of billions of dollars, and the owner is an ordinary person who came out of a courtyard. Before, President Liang laughed at himself. With Yi Weidong's identity, he would never need his help in Xiangjiang.

If President Liang followed the instructions from above, it would chill Yi Weidong's patriotic heart, but if he agreed, he would not be able to explain to the above.

Seeing that President Liang was in a dilemma, Wei Dong said again: "What's more, Xiangjiang, Wanwan is different from the casino, it has always been our own family, this one has to be separated from the overseas Chinese, why don't you ask the higher-ups for instructions?"

President Liang couldn't make a decision by himself, so he had to report to his superiors, saying: "Mr. Yi, please wait a moment, I'll make a call."

"You're welcome, please."

President Liang told his assistant Li Shengju to entertain Weidong, and then he said sorry and went to the office to report on the phone.

The head office in Beijing also found it difficult to receive this question, so it turned around and went to the superior again.

In the end, the question and Weidong's information were placed in front of the big leader, "It's hard for this child to be fascinated by Xiangjiang's feasting and feasting, but what's going on with these ten or so concubines?"

Looking at the front is quite inspirational, earning a huge family business alone, donating a large amount of money to Xiangjiang every month, setting an example in the stock market crash, and helping many compatriots who cannot afford to eat, it can be said that in Chinese businessmen have set an excellent example.

It's just that the private life in the back is playing the piano randomly, not to mention marrying two regular wives, and also supporting many concubines in private, and having several children, it is very speechless to watch.

The secretary who sent the materials explained: "But Xiangjiang didn't stop the polygamy system until two years ago. It's no big deal for young people to be energetic."

"Well, the flaws don't conceal the advantages. I think it is acceptable to accept some donations from Xiangjiang Wanwan and the casino. This is different from overseas. We are a family."

"Yes, we are a family, so I will reply?"

"I'll meet them sometime when they come."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements."

Soon the instructions came to President Liang, and he was very happy to hear the approval. Although he didn't know the specific casualties, he was always uneasy. With Weidong's donation, the people in the disaster area would suffer less.

Back in the reception room, President Liang said happily: "Mr. Yi, the above has approved and can accept your donation."

"Great, I have all the materials ready, and the two planes are ready to take off at any time. I can also charter a few more cargo planes for transportation, and try to transport the donated materials to the nearest airport within three days."

Mr. Liang, what's wrong with listening to this? Why do the supplies need to be transported by multiple planes for three days?

This is how much material was donated.

President Liang asked in surprise: "Mr. Yi, isn't this too much?"

"More? I'm afraid it's not enough."

Although Weidong didn't know the exact number, but a city was destroyed, so one could imagine how much supplies would be needed.

For Weidong, these things are at zero cost, and no matter how much donations are made, it will not affect the company's operations. Right now, it is to help transport as many disaster relief materials as possible.

"In Yi Weidong's personal name, I donated [-] million US dollars in cash to the disaster area, and in the names of Qiuyu Group, Hutchison Group, Peach Automobile Company Group, and AMC Automobile Group, I donated [-] million U.S. dollars in supplies each."

For the time being, Weidong plans to donate [-] million U.S. dollars in cash and various medical supplies worth [-] million U.S. dollars to the disaster area.

"so much?"

Both President Liang and Assistant Li Shengju were dumbfounded. Before, President Liang thought that there were a lot of materials worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. It was very difficult to withdraw such a sum of money from the waist of a businessman. He did not expect to hear that it was [-] million U.S. dollars in cash. And materials with a total value of [-] million US dollars.
