Monday, June 27.
Handong University, counselor Zhang Wei's office.
"Do you want to donate again? Besides, add another five million?" Zhang Wei's mouth was slightly open, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
This morning, Pei Qian came to his office again and said that he would renew all the previous subsidies for poor students and donate an additional 5 million.
The last five million was a quota of 2,000 people, and a subsidy of 500 yuan per month within five months was directly paid to the campus card to ensure basic living.
From December to the present, the time has just come, and another five million has been added.
In addition, Pei Qian has to add another five million, and it will be given out in the form of scholarships.
Based on the current number of poor students, 500 students with outstanding performance will be screened out, and each will receive a scholarship of 10,000 yuan.
Pei Qian's goal remains the same as always, that is, targeted poverty alleviation, which cannot be wasted.
There are many poor people in this world. Although they both do charity and give money, they have completely different effects when they are given to different people.
Some people don't realize that simply giving money can't change their poverty fate.
For poor students, especially poor students with excellent grades, getting this money can change their lives and make outstanding contributions to the society.
Pei Qian's charitable quota is only 10 million yuan, which seems to be a lot, but in fact, compared with the poor in the world who need relief, it is still only a drop in the bucket.
His first goal is to ensure that the money reaches those who need it most.
"Okay, Teacher Zhang, I'll go first if it's okay."
Pei Qian came here mainly to settle the charity money. Now that the matter is settled, it is time to go back and continue to worry about how to lose money.
Zhang Juan and He Desheng shared the phone booth and Xueba come to promote the Horror Hostel together, but they arranged Pei Qian clearly.
"Hey, wait, wait."
Zhang Wei hurriedly stopped Pei Qian: "Wait a minute, there are still things."
Pei Qian: "Huh?"
Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Donate money to improve the lives of poor students. Of course, I support it with both hands, but... Did you forget the lecture you promised earlier?"
Pei Qian: "..."
Really forgot.
When he donated money for the first time, Zhang Wei said that he hoped to give a lecture to Pei Qian and tell the seniors and sisters about their experience in employment or entrepreneurship.
After all, from Zhang Wei's point of view, Pei Qian is a proper business wizard, and if he doesn't share any experience, he wouldn't believe it.
But Pei Qian is also very helpless, I really don't have any experience to share!
Moreover, Pei Qian didn't want to show his face in front of these seniors and sisters, and he didn't want to become a celebrity in the school, and classmates came to apply for jobs wherever he went.
But Zhang Wei had mentioned it twice after all, and he had already shied away once, and it seemed inappropriate to refuse again.
Pei Qian thought for a while: "Then... how about that?"
"I'll find someone to speak for me, and then I'll write the speech, so rounding up is equivalent to me going up to speak, okay?"
"As for the content of the lecture..."
"The experience of employment and entrepreneurship is really nothing to talk about. Mr. Zhang, you also know that entrepreneurship is very accidental. Basically, my experience cannot be copied, but it may be misleading."
"Employment... Tenda is now a unified exam, and it's better than anything else."
"Otherwise, let's talk a little bit about these poor students. The theme is, I hope they make good use of this money."
Zhang Wei thought about it, and it seemed that the same was the case.
The experience of starting a business cannot be copied, and it may be misleading if you talk about it too much. Not to mention employment experience, that is the responsibility of the Human Resources Department, and Pei Qian will not ask.
He has already donated 15 million to the poor students. Although it is not a lot to spread to everyone, this amount of money is not a small amount.
It makes sense to give them a lecture so they can make better use of the money, rather than start-up experience.
Zhang Wei nodded: "Okay, then I'll make arrangements, and then send the time and location directly to your mobile phone."
…
After coming out of Zhang Wei's office, Pei Qian first called Tang Yishu.
"Xiao Tang, help me give a lecture to all the poor students that Tengda has sponsored."
"What? Shy? No, this is a mission, it must go."
"Manuscript? Oh, don't worry, it will be sent to you before the speech."
"Okay, then it's settled."
After hanging up, Pei Qian called Assistant Xin again.
"Help me make a speech for the poor."
"There is no requirement for the content. Anyway, you can write it casually and tell them how to make good use of this wealth."
"When will it be done?"
"Tomorrow morning? Well, just send it to Xiao Tang after writing it."
After hanging up, Pei Qian felt relaxed.
Done, easy to do!
In fact, Pei Qian didn't think too much about it. After all, he didn't do charity to show off or gain fame. He simply provided help to some poor classmates, and by the way, he also spent the system's charity quota.
The only thing I worry about is that some poor students get the money and spend it in the wrong place.
So, arrange a speech to give some positive guidance to these poor students as much as possible.
Of course, the specific effect depends on how Assistant Xin's manuscript is written.
…
…
The next afternoon.
Handong University Science Hall.
This is the largest hall of Handong University, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people. It is mainly used to hold large-scale lectures, hold welcome parties, perform stage plays and so on.
At this time, all the poor students were present, and the entire hall was almost full except for the individual seats in the last row.
According to common sense, there should be a banner above the stage at this time, at least to point out the theme of the lecture.
However, Pei Qian's manuscript has not come out for a long time, and he does not know what banner to hang.
But this is not the point after all, everyone knows what they are here for.
Before the lecture started, the poor students in the audience were all talking about it.
"Today's lecture is to talk about the concept of wealth?"
"Our view of wealth should be fine, right?"
"That's hard to say. I've also seen poor students eat buns every day to buy pineapple mobile phones."
"That's right, you should talk about it. If someone uses the money to buy shoes, bags, and mobile phones, is that still a person?"
Zhang Wei was also sitting under the stage, thinking to himself, this is too rudimentary.
He originally wanted to add a few more links anyway. After all, he donated 10 million yuan, so it would not be an exaggeration to have a donation ceremony.
But Pei Qian sternly refused, repeatedly emphasizing that he would only give a simple speech, and no more steps would be required, otherwise even the speech would be canceled.
Zhang Wei had no choice but to go with the flow.
"I don't know who Pei Qian will tell you."
"Vice president of the company? At least he must be the head of the human resources department, right?"
"Hey, strange, what about Xiao Tang?"
Zhang Wei remembered that Tang Yishu should also be a poor student, why didn't he see it
However, he was wondering when he saw Tang Yishu appear from the backstage with the speech, and walked all the way to the podium in the center of the stage.
Zhang Wei: "…"
…
Tang Yishu stood in the center of the stage, looking at the dark crowd under the stage, and became even more nervous.
When she came here for rehearsal in the morning, two microphones had an unknown malfunction. The staff were just about to take them for repair, but they were inexplicably normal, which made people puzzled.
Now Tang Yishu has no other requirements, just hope that the microphone will not have any more problems.
"Every, fellow poor students..."
"good afternoon everyone."
Tang Yishu said the opening remarks carefully, but fortunately, the microphone is all normal.
It seems that several accidents in the morning have consumed the bad luck.
"Today, Mr. Pei, who donated living allowances and scholarships, was unable to attend due to his busy work, so I will read this letter to all the students for him, hoping to give you some inspiration."
Tang Yishu paused for a while and began to read the speech in his hand clearly.
"Hello, everyone. I'm sorry, I can't be there because of work. I can only use this letter to convey my vision and expectations to everyone, and share some experience about life."
"Maybe a lot of people feel that what I'm talking about is how to use the money in your hands."
"Maybe some classmates will worry that some people who get scholarship money will buy things that have no practical significance and can only enhance their sense of vanity."
"However, everyone understands the same principle, and I don't want to talk about it any more."
"I want to look at the issue of wealth from a different angle."
"That is, what is the real wealth that we have and should cherish?"
"Most of the classmates here should not think that they have had and are having great wealth."
"I'm sure everyone has been wondering: How do I have wealth?"
"Some people spend most of their energy on part-time jobs in order to have wealth, which affects their studies;"
"Because of poverty, some people are reluctant to eat enough and buy necessary school supplies. They hoard all their money like misers, as if spending money, they will lose their sense of security."
"I want to tell everyone that this is all a wrong view of wealth."
"Please think about a question: In order to have wealth, what are you going to exchange for it?"
"Suppose you were a blacksmith in ancient times, and one day, you ran out of food. In order to get food, you have three ways to go:"
"Grow your own."
"To steal, to rob."
"Build a farm tool and exchange it with the farmer."
"Most people will choose the third way, and everyone will find that as long as they produce iron tools and exchange them continuously, they will become richer and richer. Therefore, the basis of obtaining wealth is 'exchange'."
"Then, if you choose to plant your own seeds, or steal or rob, won't you pass the exchange?"
"no."
"The first plan is actually an exchange of time, labor, and farming experience; the second plan is actually an exchange of force, risk, weapons carried, and preparation for committing crimes."
"So, no matter which option you choose, in the final analysis, it is an exchange, and the cost will not be lower than building a farm implement."
"Every choice you make to gain wealth is essentially an exchange."
"So, apart from those parts that are destined at birth and beyond your control, what is the wealth we really have that we can exchange?"
"Is it money? No, it doesn't really belong to us, it's just a digital representation of that part of your wealth that you've exchanged."
"Is it time? No, the passage of time does not depend on human will."
"Is it the body? It's the wealth you have, but if you trade it for wealth, you'll be chagrined."
"Everyone's greatest wealth is actually 'attention', or 'energy'."
"You want to make money with your work, it's no use just sitting in the office, focus on your work and use your knowledge to solve problems."
"Knowledge is learned with attention in the classroom and at work."
"Apart from the parts we can't control, the only wealth we have is attention."
"The concept of wealth I want to share with you today is, how should we use our attention?"
"Maybe, many people will waste it;"
"Maybe, many people will be harvested by some merchants with ulterior motives;"
"Maybe, it will be used in the form of big data analysis."
"Many classmates complain about why they were born poor and unequal. This kind of resentment will destroy you, make you waste your attention, and make your life continue to fail."
"And if we want to change our destiny, we have to project our attention on ourselves."
"Read an extra hour a day, even if it's just 1% improvement, then after a year, you'll be 38 times better than you were before."
"So, I hope that the classmates who get this money don't save it all and don't want to spend it; don't buy some meaningless things that are only used to satisfy their own vanity; don't spend it on some to distracting, addictive entertainment.”
"Spend the money where it's really needed: to improve yourself."
"Always remember that attention is the most valuable asset in all of us, and I hope everyone can make good use of it and treat it well."
"This is the correct view of wealth."
