Chapter 204 Charity is not easy to do

Ye Feng invited Xiao Fangfang to sit on the sofa in the reception area, and the two staff members who followed her said goodbye and left. Ye Feng poured a cup of tea for Xiao Fangfang, Xiao Fangfang thanked her, and said immediately: "Mr. Seeing you, I am old. It is not easy to go to the mainland. It is not very convenient to go to the mainland to visit you in person. I did not expect the staff to check the list of Ms. Ye and her party this morning. Your name is actually in it. I started I thought it was just a duplicate name, but after asking someone to inquire, I found out that the boss of Fengxing Tianxia Studio is actually you (Fengxing Tianxia Studio Ye Feng holds 40% of the shares and is the major shareholder), so you can come to participate in the seedling protection this time I am really very happy at the fund's gala."

Ye Feng guessed that Xiao Fangfang should have a certain understanding of his own details, so he didn't hide it: "To be honest, Ye Wan is my biological sister and a contract artist of our company. She came to Xiangjiang for the first time to participate in an event. , I have to come with her to be at ease."

Xiao Fangfang nodded understandingly, and said: "Actually, when I decided to invite Ms. Ye, I didn't know Mr. Ye that you entered the entertainment industry. At first, I paid attention to the tutoring network student fund for you. I did it. Humiao Fund has been in existence for several years, and I have encountered many difficulties during this process. I once thought that doing charity is one of the most difficult things in the world, but after learning about the model of tutoring.com, I realized that With a good model, doing charity can be very simple and can affect many people, and Tujia.com has inspired me a lot in charity.”

Ye Feng said modestly: "President Xiao, you have praised me."

Xiao Fangfang waved her hands very seriously, and said: "It's not absurd at all, you don't know how difficult it is to do ordinary charity, such as the seedling protection fund, every penny of the foundation, I have to go everywhere Asking for help, or begging some business owners to donate money, or asking some celebrities to donate some unnecessary things for charity sales, but business owners are very realistic. If I only want money, they will be like sending beggars, donating tens of thousands or even If you want them to donate a little more, you have to make social influence first, such as inviting some celebrities to do charity galas, bazaars, etc. Only when there is media attention and business owners are willing to donate more money, this way The charity is to eat the last meal without the next meal."

Xiao Fangfang sighed softly when she said this, and said: "The funds of the Nursing Seedling Fund are often broken, and sometimes once broken, even the salaries of the employees cannot be paid. This model is too unhealthy, and it is far from being as smart as Tujia.com. , be self-sufficient, fully mobilize every role and let them play their due role."

Ye Feng nodded and said to her: "To be honest, it is a great coincidence that the tutoring network can develop, because it faces college students and high school students. In mainland China, the college entrance examination is a major event that changes the fate of life." , every student and student's parents attach great importance to it. In order to surprise the college entrance examination, fresh candidates have a rigid need for tutoring and tutoring. Only when there is demand, will the market be created, and the market will create wealth. If this model is transplanted to Humiao In terms of funds, I am afraid it will not work at all.”

Xiao Fangfang also nodded in agreement and said: "I have understood this before. Tujiao.com does have its own market, so it is possible to achieve such a large scale of charity without asking anyone."

After all, Xiao Fangfang looked at Ye Feng and said: "So I really want to learn from you, and I really want you to help us design an advanced model for the Seedling Protection Fund. For me, I really hope that the Seedling Protection Fund can develop forever Go down and help those minors who are or may be sexually abused, but if it really can't find a healthy development model, it will die sooner or later."

Ye Feng felt ashamed. He knew nothing about charity. The reason why he started the tutoring website was because of Ye Lin, Lin Qi and others. At the beginning, Ye Feng wanted to start other Internet companies, but the eight people he contacted through Ye Lin were all school students. And it just so happens that this market is blank, and Ye Lin, Lin Qi and the others are all college students, so they set up a tutoring website, which turned out to be very effective, so they spent money to promote it. Ye Feng is also selfish, and Ye Feng wants to rely on tutoring The network stabilizes some fixed users, and by the way, the payment platform is bred.

Ye Feng can make the tutoring network bigger and stronger if he fits in all aspects and is in line with the right time and place. If he is really asked to do charity in a serious way, he can't understand. Where to get money.

Xiao Fangfang is a veteran star and has a very good popularity in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, so she can rely on her face to get the support of stars and funds, and can rely on her face to increase the social popularity of the Seedling Protection Fund. In this regard, her resources are better than I am too strong. If I am not a tutoring website, but a non-profitable charity fund, I am afraid that I can only throw my own money in it and let him go out to find money. How can he have such a face? Is Xiao Fangfang easy to use?

However, it's not easy for Ye Feng to reject the other party directly, saying that he can't do anything, after all, he is an old senior in the entertainment industry, so he can't be so perfunctory to her.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng asked her: "President Xiao, what is the monthly fixed expenditure of the Seedling Protection Fund?"

Xiao Fangfang said: "We have more than 300 full-time salaried employees, and more than 30 volunteers who help out from time to time. Together with our office space, business expenses and other miscellaneous items, the monthly fixed expenditure is 200 Hong Kong dollars. Up and down, but the largest expenditure is charitable funds. We have now funded more than 80 minors who have suffered sexual assault across Hong Kong, helping them settle down, study and provide regular psychological counseling. The whole plan of this project The monthly expenditure will reach more than 70 Hong Kong dollars, and under normal circumstances, funds will be tight every month, so our average expenditure on this item is about [-] Hong Kong dollars."

Ye Feng nodded, spending more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars a month does not sound like much, but the value of Hong Kong dollars and Huaxia dollars in 100 is about the same, and the purchasing power of more than [-] million in [-] is still very strong.

In fact, charitable funds all over the world are facing one of the most fundamental problems, nothing else, is the difficulty of fundraising.

For large charitable funds, they have their own survival model. For example, billionaires like Bill Gates set up a charitable fund with a few hundred million dollars. The principal of this charitable fund is basically fixed. It will be used by the foundation to make appropriate financial investment, and then use the money earned from financial investment to do charity, that is to say, money makes money, only spend money on her son, and the money will never move.

But this is a routine played by large charitable funds. Even if hundreds of millions of dollars are thrown into the bank to collect interest, there is still less than tens of millions of dollars in revenue a year. But for a small charitable fund like the Nursing Fund, There may not be a total of 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the book. If you want to use this money to make money, you may not even be able to support yourself, so why do you want to do charity.

Xiao Fangfang said that the accounts of the Humiao Fund are indeed only enough to support about one month's expenses, so she has to keep trying to find ways to find money in various ways, but the Humiao Fund has been in operation for almost seven years. The effect of this project has begun to be greatly reduced. In the past, Xiao Fangfang went all out to beg various celebrities, and everyone brought some things to auction, and could raise two or three million Hong Kong dollars, but now many celebrities no longer buy it, and even those who buy it The thing is getting more and more coping, and the things that everyone puts out are getting less and less valuable. In the last charity bazaar, even a celebrity donated a broken golf club, which made Xiao Fangfang feel very shocked.

Although Ye Feng doesn't understand charity, he clearly knows that the Miao Hu Fund itself has no ability to make money, and it is impossible to find a business model for it, so Ye Feng is going to temporarily divert this topic, and said to Xiao Fangfang: "President Xiao, I will definitely think about what you said, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to come up with a really effective plan for a while."

Xiao Fangfang also nodded understandingly, and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I can persist these years, and I don't care about waiting for a while, but Mr. Li, I hope you can take my request as an important matter. Think about it, no matter what the result is, I, Xiao Fangfang, will be grateful!"

Ye Feng said hurriedly: "You are serious, this is what I should do, and I will definitely think about it seriously."

Xiao Fangfang smiled gratefully at Ye Feng and said, "With your words, I feel relieved."

Ye Feng nodded and asked her: "By the way, Chairman Xiao, I only have one question in my mind, and I would like to ask you to clarify it."

Xiao Fangfang said, "Please tell me, Mr. Ye."

Ye Feng then asked: "Why did the Miao Hu Foundation invite Ye Wan to be a guest?"

Xiao Fangfang smiled slightly and said, "It's Huazai. I told him that it is too difficult for the Humiao Fund to raise funds in Hong Kong. I want to find an opportunity to increase the influence of the Humiao Fund in the mainland. Or the attention of the public, so I want to invite a mainland star to come to our charity party. I ask him to help me think about whether there is a suitable candidate. I hope he can invite Gong Li. After all, the two of them have worked together before, but he recommended Ye Wan to me. He said that he admired Ms. Ye's voice and felt that she had the potential to become the next Ah Fei, so we gave it to me. Fengxingtianxia sent an invitation."

Ye Feng confirmed the conjecture in his heart, and kept the favor in his heart. He is not a small person now, and he will have a chance to pay it back.

To be honest, the current Xiangjiang entertainment circle still looks down on the mainland entertainment circle, and few mainland artists can be reported on Xiangjiang entertainment news. Ye Feng even suspects that Xiangjiang, a Cantonese-dominated market, is not Few people knew Ye Wan, with Liu Dehua's help today, Ye Wan's journey would be much easier.

Xiao Fangfang said: "Huazai will also come tonight. You can let Ms. Ye and Huazai get in touch with each other more. Huazai has a great influence in the Hong Kong music scene. If Ms. Ye establishes a good relationship with him, it will be better for him in the future. Her development in Hong Kong will be of great benefit."

Ye Feng said hastily: "Thank you President Xiao for reminding me, I will definitely let Ye Wan get in touch with seniors more."

Xiao Fangfang smiled and said: "We all like to call him Huazai, and he also likes others to call him Huazai. Don't call him senior in person, he will feel alienated."

Ye Feng nodded slightly, and Xiao Fangfang asked again: "Mr. Ye plans to stay in Xiangjiang for a few days? If you have enough time, you can go to the Miao Hu Fund to guide the work, and give me a chance to do my best as a landlord."

Ye Feng said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, we booked a flight back to Shanghai for tomorrow, so we have to go to the airport tomorrow morning."

Xiao Fangfang asked in surprise, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ye Feng said: "I can't help it. There are too many things recently. When I relax in the future, I must come to Xiangjiang and the Seedling Protection Fund to visit and study."

Xiao Fangfang nodded and said with a slight smile: "Then I won't disturb Mr. Ye and you rest. You should take a good rest and see you at the party."

After all, Xiao Fangfang stood up, and said to Ye Feng solemnly: "Mr. Ye, I hope you will keep in mind the matter I asked you just now. Whether it is successful or not, I thank you in advance. Charity is a kind of It is a matter of great merit, although the Nursing Fund is small, it is helping those very, very poor children. If these children do not help, they will hardly get out of the shadow of sexual abuse in their entire lives."

Ye Feng also said very seriously: "President Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely keep it in mind."

Xiao Fangfang smiled in relief, nodded slightly, and then bid farewell to Ye Feng. After Ye Feng sent her away, she began to think about the matter of the seedling protection fund. According to the current expenditure level of the seedling protection fund, without increasing expenditure, the annual operating expenses It will not exceed 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, but sexual assault is a permanent psychological injury, which also means that as long as there are more similar cases in the society, as long as the seedling fund decides to rescue, it will increase expenditure. Only by continuing to care for them over a period of years can they gradually get out of the psychological shadow, which means that the expenditure demand of the seedling protection fund must increase steadily, and it will only increase and not decrease, unless after years of hard work, the society as a whole is more Only by paying attention to the sexual assault of minors, promoting government legislation, and keeping the crime rate in this area down, can the foundation's expenditure be reduced.

It is precisely because charity has a long way to go, and the financial support it needs is huge and highly stable, Xiao Fangfang is eager for a healthy model, but Ye Feng has no clue about the current situation of the Seedling Fund. It is said that Tujia.com is a self-reliant young adult, and the Numiao Fund is a baby waiting to be fed. It has no ability to create wealth, and it is impossible to have it. It has no other sources of funds except donations from individuals and companies.

In fact, in terms of the annual capital demand of the Seedlings Fund, which is about tens of millions, for a large company like Envision Technology with stable cash flow and profitability, a little squeeze through the teeth can fully support it, but Ye Feng If he is not going to do this, the last thing he wants to do is charitable charity, and it is not only the seedling protection fund that needs funds, but also the minors in Xiangjiang who need sexual protection. There are too many, if all the brains come to me, how should I deal with it?
Seedling Nursing Fund wants to find a healthy mode of operation, first of all, it must have its own unique resources. Tujiao.com has a large number of high-achieving students from 985 and 211 colleges and universities. Ye Feng really doesn’t know what the Seedling Nurturing Fund has. learn.
