When Makino Technology was preparing to send out charity night invitations to the entire industry, Li Mu found Liu Xinxin and chatted with her about his long-term plans.
Society's recognition of "Veterans Never Die" has greatly exceeded expectations, and the speed at which donations have been collected has greatly exceeded Li Mu's best assumptions. As a result, the method of operation must change.
In addition to the overflowing capital pool, if companies that are willing to provide various resources are brought in, the exchanged resources can offset a considerable part of the funds, and the entire foundation's capital pool will be even larger by then.
As for Li Mu's long-term plan, the core purpose is six words: increase coverage targets!
Liu Xinxin asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, do you want to increase the coverage of charity activities for the foundation?"
"That's right." Li Mu said: "The amount of funds has exceeded the needs of our entire previous plan, so I want to expand the previous plan horizontally to a larger scale and cover the established scope of 'all surviving World War II veterans in mainland China'. Expanded to cover 'all surviving World War II veterans from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan'."
Liu Xinxin was overjoyed and said: "There should be about 20,000 surviving anti-war veterans in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Judging from the current speed and scale of fundraising by our foundation, we can definitely support it."
"Money is definitely not a problem." Li Mu said: "I am planning a charity gathering for the Internet industry and mobilize the entire Internet industry to participate. You should quickly sort out the traditional companies that are interested in cooperating with us, determine the resources with them, and then come up with A detailed resource list, this list must have the corresponding market value of the resources, so that we can make overall planning."
"Okay!" Liu Xinxin nodded and said, "I will seize the time to sort out all these cooperative enterprises in the past few days."
Li Mu said: "We must take advantage of the current popularity of our foundation in China to expand our full-time and volunteer teams, and strive to have our stable, reliable and willing to cooperate volunteer teams in every city in the future."
Liu Xinxin said: "We have opened a dedicated hotline for volunteer registration and an online registration portal. The feedback half an hour ago was that more than 10,000 people have submitted volunteer application materials. We are reviewing these materials and will follow the instructions. The statistics are divided by region, and the recruitment information for the full-time team has been published on our website, and Yanjing has started to arrange interviews."
Li Mu said: "I will ask Ziwei to come to you later. You can contact her and give relevant information about volunteer and full-time recruitment to Ziwei. Ask her to coordinate with Makino Technology to make a push on YY. I believe the effect should be good. "
"That's great!" Liu Xinxin said with a smile: "It is not difficult to recruit full-time staff in Yanjing, but it is really a difficult task to develop enough volunteers across the country. YY's Users cover all over the country. If you can help us promote it online, we will definitely be able to attract a large number of enthusiastic volunteers to join us."
Li Mu exhorted: "In principle, the more volunteer teams the better, there will be many places where we will need volunteers to help in the future."
Liu Xinxin asked Li Mu: "If we continue to develop in the future, will our veterans continue to expand the scope of coverage?"
Li Mu nodded and said: "At this stage, we will first serve the World War II veterans on the mainland and across the Taiwan Straits. If this stage can be completed well, we will gradually include all veterans who have participated in actual combat since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Come in, and in the next stage, we may be able to include the surviving veterans who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and then there will be several self-defense counterattacks against India and Vietnam."
Liu Xinxin was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Li Mu would increase the number of veterans' charity objects to so many. He couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Li, the closer the war is, the greater the number of surviving veterans will be." There are only more than 20,000 surviving veterans of World War II, but the number of surviving veterans who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea may be doubled. If we count the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, it will definitely exceed 100,000. I heard my dad say, In the self-defense counterattack in 1979, the total number of troops on the east and west fronts was more than 300,000, and the frontline troops were almost 200,000... "
At this point, Liu Xinxin paused and said with some uncertainty: "If we want to cover more than 100 or 200,000 veterans, our funding requirements are really too great..."
Li Mu smiled with relief and said: "We need to provide different help to different groups. The veterans who participated in World War II are too old, and a considerable number of veterans have had issues with their composition, so their lives have indeed been very difficult for so many years. For these Veterans, we must provide the most comprehensive help. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, recuperation and medical treatment are the unshirkable responsibilities of our foundation;
As for the surviving veterans of other wars, they are all soldiers after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Most of the veterans who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea can enjoy the country's special benefits. For these veterans who have sufficient benefits themselves, we do not need to provide the same benefits as the veterans of World War II. Such comprehensive help only requires certain subsidies on the basis of national welfare;
Most of the veterans who participated in the war against India and Vietnam are the same. Even most of the veterans against Vietnam are still in their prime. Although their group is large, the group that really needs our help is relatively small. "
Liu Xinxin breathed a sigh of relief. He was really shocked by Li Mu's words just now. If the same standard is used to help hundreds of thousands of veterans for a long time, the foundation will definitely collapse if it cannot be used. However, according to Li Mu, it will be treated differently according to the actual situation. If so, the future pressure on the foundation will not be very great.
Li Mu's expectations for the Veterans' Immortal Charity Foundation are far more than that. There is also a bigger plan. Li Mu has not told Liu Xinxin for the time being. That is his "Anti-Japanese Alliance" plan. In the future, he will successively provide support to other countries that participated in World War II, and It is the veterans who resisted Japan who provided humanitarian aid, awakening the citizens of all countries that were invaded by Japan in World War II, so that they can also pay attention to the veterans of their own countries, and at the same time remember the history of that year.
…
The attention and donations from the whole society are still continuing.
News related to the Veterans Immortality Charitable Foundation has begun to reach the world through overseas media.
The first overseas media to report extensively on this foundation and the press conference were the American media.
After all, "Flying Tigers" belongs to the common history of China and the United States. Li Mu's behavior of receiving the old American Flying Tigers members with such high standards and personally paying tribute to them moved the American media.
Everyone is happy to see their compatriots receiving courteous treatment overseas. This is like the vast majority of Chinese people who have never been to Pakistan, but when they hear about Pakistan’s various courtesies and respect for the Chinese people, they will feel good about Pakistan. The same goes for American society.
Therefore, when the American media reported this news in a large area, the American people gave it a very high evaluation.
They praised the history of the Flying Tigers and praised Li Mu for the courtesy he gave to American veterans. This mood also made them pay attention to the veterans in their own country. The New York Times even directly issued an appeal. The original text said: "U.S. He participated in World War II in three continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa. While making great contributions to world peace, he also made great sacrifices for world peace. There are also a large number of surviving World War II veterans in American society today, but why is there no one like Li Mu in the United States? People come forward and do the same thing as him?”
"There are so many billionaires in the United States, and there are countless tycoons on Wall Street alone. Why can't there be an entrepreneur with enough responsibility to step forward and do what Li Mu did and establish an organization in the United States that is related to 'Veterans Never Die'" Can a similar charitable foundation provide as much help as it can to American World War II veterans? If this thing can come true, I believe the American people will respond positively and contribute money and efforts to the foundation."
The American people have also spoken out on the Internet. Many people believe that what Li Mu did in China actually served as an inspiration to Americans. Americans should also pay attention to and care for veterans, and not let them just gradually fade away. Wither.
As the voice becomes louder and louder, many wealthy Americans feel that this is a very good opportunity. If they use a sum of money to establish a charitable foundation similar to "Veterans Never Die" in the United States, they will be able to get benefits like Li Mu did. Respected and followed by the whole society, this deal is really a good deal.
Therefore, it is unimaginable that many wealthy people in the United States suddenly stood up and publicly stated that they were prepared to spend a sum of money to establish a charitable foundation to care for veterans.
It's okay to say one or two, but this time there were more than a dozen or twenty people. The active participation of so many people actually made the American people feel conflicted.
Suddenly, so many wealthy people want to do charity, and their motives and purposes seem particularly impure. Many people say online that these people do not really want to do charity, they just want to be popular and harvest a wave of attention and admiration. , so everyone has a very cold attitude towards them. They just want to see what they will do and don't want to hear what they say now.
Many rich people sadly discovered that they thought they would receive applause and support by standing up, but what they unexpectedly received was a silent situation, so that many people were watching with cold eyes, waiting for their next actual move, which was very harmful to them. This was a huge blow to their enthusiasm, and all of a sudden, many wealthy people quietly decided to give up. They don't want to really invest a lot of energy in running such a charity project, and do it when the public doesn't approve of it.
However, there are also many rich people who have figured out one thing.
Now if you want to be a "veteran who never dies" in the United States, it is useless to stand up and say it yourself. The best way is to get Li Mu's approval! Only if Li Mu approves it, will the American people approve it!
